TO  THE  MOST  HIGH  AND  MIGHTY  PRINCE 

JA'fi^S. 

BY  THE  GRACE  OF  GOD, 

KING  OF  GREAT  BRITAIN,  FRANCE,  AND  lEELAlND, 
DEFENDER  OF  THE  FAITH,  etc. 

The  Translators  of  the  Bible  wish  Grace,  Mercy,  and  Peace, 
through  JESUS  CHRIST  our  Lord. 


'nREAT  and  manifold  were  the  blessings,  most  dread  Sovereipi,  which  Almighty  ‘he 

U Father  of  all  mercies,  bestowed  upon  us  the  people  of  England,  when  hrst  he  sent  Your 
TV/T  • + TJrvyroi  Porcon  to  riiTc  aud  fciffn  over  us.  For  whereas  it  was  the  expectation  of  many, 
wh^^hed  not  well  unto  our  Sion,  that  upon  the  setting  of  that  bright 

Flizaheth  of  most  happy  memory,  some  thick  and  palpable  clouds  of  darkness  vould  ..o  have 
that  men  should  have  been  in  doubt  which  way  they  were  to  walk; 
and  that  it  should  hardly  be  knowm,  who  was  to  direct  the  unsettled  State;  the  appearance  o. 
Your  Majesty,  as  of  the  Sun  in  his  strength,  instantly  dispelled  those  supiwsed  and  surmised 
mists,  and  gave  unto  all  that  were  well  affected  exceeding  cause  of  comfort ; especia  ly  when 
we  beheld  the  Government  established  in  Your  Highness,  and  Your  hopeful  by  an 

undoubted  Title,  and  this  also  accompanied  with  peace  and  tranquillity  at  home  ana  abroad. 

But  among  all  our  joys,  there  was  no  one  that  more  filled  our  hearts  than  the  blessed  con- 
tinuance of  the  preaching  of  God’s  .sacred  Word  among  us;  whicn  is  thm  ^^esamable  ^sure 
which  excelleth  all  the  riches  of  the  earth;  because  the  fruit  thereof  extendeth  itself,  not  only 
to  the  time  spent  in  this  transitory  world,  but  directeth  and  disposeth  men  unto  tliat  eternal 
happiness  which  is  above  in  heaven. 

Then  not  to  suffer  this  to  fall  to  the  ground,  but  rather  to  take  it  up,  and  to  continue  it  in 
that  state,  wherein  the  famous  Predecessor  of  Your  Highness  did  leave  it:  nay,  to  go  forward 
with  the  confidence  and  resolution  of  a Man  in  maintaining  the  truth  of  Christ,  and  propa- 
gating it  far  and  near,  is  that  which  hath  so  bound  and  firmly  knit  the  hearts  of  all  Your 
Majesty^s  loyal  and  religious  people  unto  You,  that  Your  very  name  is  precious  among  them : 
their  eye  doth  behold  You  with  comfort,  and  they  bless  You  in  their  hearts,  as  that  sanctified 
Person,  who,  under  God,  is  the  immediate  Author  of  their  true  happiness.  And  to  their 
contentment  doth  not  diminish  or  decay,  but  every  day  increaseth  and  taketh  strength,  when 
they  observe,  that  the  zeal  of  Your  Majesty  toward  the  house  of  God  doth  not  slack  or  go 
backward,  but  is  more  and  more  kindled,  manifesting  itself  abroad  in  the  farthest  parts  of 
Christendom,  by  writing  in  defence  of  the  Truth,  (which  hath  given  such  a blow  unto  that 
man  of  sin,  as  will  not  be  healed,)  and  every  day  at  home,  by  religious  and  learned  discoimse, 
by  frequenting  the  house  of  God,  by  hearing  the  Word  preached,  by  cherishing  the  Teachers 
thereof  by  caring  for  the  Church,  as  a most  tender  and  loving  nursing  Father. 

There  are  infinite  arguments  of  this  right  Christian  and  religious  affection  in  Your  Majesty  ; 
but  none  is  more  forcible  to  declare  it  to  others  than  the  vehement  and  perpetuated  desire  of 
accomplishing  and  publishing  of  this  work,  which  now  ^vith  all  humility  we  present  unto 
Your  Majesty.  For  when  Your  Highness  had  once  out  of  deep  judgment  apprehended  h(wv 
convenient  it  was,  that  out  of  the  Original  Sacred  Tongues,  together  with  comparing  of  the 
labours,  both  in  our  own,  and  other  foreign  Languages,  of  many  worthy  men  who  went  before 
us,  there  should  be  one  more  exact  Translation  of  the  holy  Scriptures  into  the  English  Tongue ; 
Your  Majesty  did  never  desist  to  urge  and  to  excite  those  to  whom  it  was  commended,  that 
the  work  might  be  hastened,  and  that  the  business  might  be  exiiedited  in  so  decent  a manner, 
as  a matter  of  such  importance  might  justly  require. 

And  now  at  last,  by  the  mercy  of  God,  and  the  continuance  of  our  labours,  it  being  brought 
unto  such  a conclusion,  as  that  we  liave  gieat  hopes  that  the  Church  of  Ehigtand  shall  reap  good 


THE  EPISTLE  DEDICATORY. 

fruit  thereby;  we  hold  it  our  duty  to  offer  it  to  Your  Majesty,  not  only  as  to  our  King  and 
Sovereign,  but  as  to  the  principal  Mover  and  Author  of  the  work:  humbly  craving  of  Your 
most  Sacred  Majesty,  that  since  things  of  this  quality  have  ever  been  subject  to  the  censures 
ot  illineaning  and  discontented  persons,  it  may  receive  approbation  and  patronage  from  so 
learned  and  judicious  a Prince  as  Your  Highness  is,  whose  allowance  and  acceptance  of  our 
labours  shaU  more  honour  and  encourage  us,  than  all  the  calumniations  and  hard  interpretations 
of  other  men  shaU  dismay  us.  So  that  if,  on  the  one  side,  we  shaU  be  traduced  by  Popish 
Persons  at  home  or  abroad,  who  therefore  will  malign  us,  because  we  are  poor  instruments 
to  make  God’s  holy  Truth  to  be  yet  more  and  more  known  unto  the  people,  whom  they  desire 
still  to  keep  m ignorance  and  darkness ; or  if,  on  the  other  side,  we  shall  be  maligned  by  self- 
conceited  Brethren,  who  run  their  own  ways,  and  give  liking  unto  nothing,  but  what  is  framed 
by  themselves,  and  hammered  on  their  anvil;  we  may  rest  secure,  supported  within  by  the 
truth  and  innocency  of  a good  conscience,  having  walked  the  ways  of  simplicity  and  integrity, 
as  before  the  Lord ; and  sustained  without  by  the  powerful  protection  of  Your  Majesty’s  grace 
and  favour,  which  will  ever  give  countenance  to  honest  and  Christian  endeavours  against  bitter 
censures  and  uncharitable  imputations. 


The  Lord  of  heaven  and  earth  bless  Your  Majesty  with  many  and  happy  days,  that,  as  his 
heavenly  hand  hath  enriched  Your  Highness  with  many  singular  and  extraordinary 
graces,  so  You  may  be  the  wonder  of  the  world  in  this  latter  age  for  happiness  and 
true  felicity,  to  the  honour  of  that  great  GOD,  and  the  good  of  his  Church,  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord  and  only  Saviour.

NOTE  BY  THE  PUBLISHERS. 


To  the  ordinary  reader  of  the  Bible  a difficulty  has  always  presented  itself  in  the 
correct  pronunciation  of  the  Proper  Names.  To  obviate  this  difficulty  has  been 
the  aim  of  the  publishers  in  issuing  Nelson’s  Self-pkonouncing  Bible, 

The  pronunciation  adopted  in  this  Bible,  and  the  diacritical  marks  used  to 
express  it,  are  based  (by  arrangement  with  the  publishers,  G.  and  C.  Merriam 
and  Co.)  on  Webster’s  International  Dictionary  (latest  edition).  This  will  be 
found  a great  convenience,  as  Webster’s  marks  are  more  or  less  familiar  to 
almost  every  reader. 

To  make  the  system  of  pronunciation  as  thorough  as  possible,  every  sijllahle  of 
the  Pro-per  Jfames  is  indicated,  and  every  vowel  is  diacritically  marked.  Further, 
those  consonants  are  also  marked  which  are  capable  of  more  than  one  pronunciation. 

There  are  many  words  in  the  Bible  quoted  from  the  Hebrew  and  the  Greek, 
such  as  gerah,  behemoth,  stacte,  etc.,  which  are  apt  to  present  as  real  difficulties  as 
Proper  Names.  The  marking  of  such  words  is  a special  feature  of  this  Bible. 


KEY  TO  THE  SIGNS  USED  IN  THIS  BIBLE. 


Syllables  are  indicated  by  a hyphen  (-),  while  those  on  which  stress  has  to  be 
laid  are  marked  with  an  accent  (').  In  the  case  of  compound  names  as  given  in 
the  Authorized  Version,  the  proper  accent  of  each  name  is  given  where  necessary, 
and  the  component  parts  indicated  by  a double  hyphen  (-).

CALLED 


GEFE-SIS. 


CHAPTER  1. 

1 The  creation  of  heaven  and  earth,  3 of  the  light,  6 of  the 
firmament,  9 of  the  earth  separated  from  the  waters,  11 
and  made  fruitful,  14  of  the  sun,  moon,  and  stars,  20  of 
fish  and  fowl,  24  of  beasts  and  cattle,  26  of  man  in  the 
image  of  &od.  29  the  appointment  of  food. 

IN  the  * beginning  ‘^God  created 
the  heaven  and  the  earth. 

2  And  the  earth  was  ‘^without 
form,  and  void ; and  darkness  was 
upon  the  face  of  the  deep.  -^And 
the  Spirit  of  God  moved  upon  the 
face  of  the  waters. 

3  *And  God  said,  *Let  there  be 
light:  and  there  was  light. 

4  And  God  saw*  the  light,  that  it 
v)as  good : and  God  divided  ^ the 
light  from  the  darkness. 

5  And  God  called  the  light  "^Day, 
and  the  darkness  he  called  Night. 
^And  the  evening  and  the  morning 
were  the  first  day. 

6  H And  God  said,  ”Let  there  be 
a ^ firmament  in  the  midst  of  the 
waters,  and  let  it  divide  the  waters 
from  the  waters. 

7  And  God  made  the  firmament, 
'and  divided  the  waters  which  were 
under  the  firmament  from  the  wa- 
ters which  were  ^ above  the  firma- 
ment: and  it  was  so. 

8  And  God  called  the  firmament 
Heaven.  And  the  evening  and  the 
morning  were  the  second  day. 

9  H And  God  said,  ""Let  the  Avaters 
under  the  heaven  be  gathered  to- 

§ ether  unto  one  place,  and  let  the 
ry  laTid  appear : and  it  w^as  so. 
10  And  God  called  the  dry  land 
Earth  ; and  the  gathering  together 
of  the  waters  called  he  Seas : and 
God  saw  that  it  was  good. 

11  And  God  said,  Let  the  earth 
* bring  forth  ®grass,  the  herb  yield- 
ing seed,  and  the  fruit  tree  yield- 
ing fruit  after  his  kind,  whose  seed 
is  in  itself,  upon  the  earth : and  it 
was  so. 

12  And  the  earth  brought  forth 
grass,  and  herb  yielding  seed  after 
his  kind,  and  the  tree  yielding  fruit, 
whose  seed  was  in  itself,  after  his 
kind : and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good. 

_ 13  And  the  evening  and  the  morn- 
ing were  the  third  day. 

14  H And  God  said.  Let  there  be 
*' lights  in  the  firmament  of  the 
heaven  to  divide  Hhe  day  from

21  And  ^ God  created  great  whales, 
and  every  living  creature  that  mov. 
eth,  which  the  waters  brought  forth 
abundantly,  after  their  kind,  and 
every  winged  fowl  after  his  kind: 
and  God  saw  that  it  was  good. 

22  And  God  blessed  them,  saying, 
Hie  fruitful,  and  multiply,  and  fill 
the  waters  in  the  seas,  and  let  fowl 
multiply  in  the  earth. 

23  And  the  evening  and  the  morn- 
ing were  the  fifth  day. 

24  ^ And  God  said.  Let  the'  earth 
bring  forth  the  living  creature  after 
his  kind,  cattle,  and  creeping  thing, 
and  beast  of  the  earth  after  his  kind : 
and  it  was  so. 

25  And  God  made  the  beast  of 
the  earth  after  his  kind,  and  cattle 
after  their  kind,  and  every  thing 
that  creepeth  ^on  the  earth  after 
his  kind : and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good.

28  And  God  blessed  them,  and 
God  said  unto  them,  -^Be  fruitful,

river  thereof.  17  The  tree  of  knowledge.  21  The  making

Thus  the  heavens  and  the  earth 
were  finished,  and  ’"all  the  host

ended  his  work  which  he  had  made ; 
and  he  rested  on  the  seventh  day 
from  all  his  work  which  he  had 
made. 

3  And  God  ‘'blessed  the  seventh 
day,  and  sanctified  it : because  that 
in  it  he  had  rested  from  all  his  work 
which  God  treated  and  made. 

4  U “These  are  the  generations  of

not  a man  ‘^to  till  the  ground.

to  water  the  garden ; and  from 
thence  it  was  parted,  and  became 
into  four  heads. 

1 1 The  name  of  the  first  is  Pi-s(3n : 
that  is  it  which  compasseth  ^the 
whole  land  of  Hav-i-lah,  where  ther^ 
is  gold ; 

12  And  the  gold  of  that  land  is 
good : ^ there  is  bdellium  and  the 
onyx  stone. 

13  And  the  name  of  the  second 
river  is  Gi-h5n : the  same  is  it 
that_  compasseth  the  whole  land 
of  ^E-thi-6-pi-a. 

14  And  the  name  of  the  third 
river  is  "’^Hid-de-kel : that  is  it  which 
goeth  ® toward  the  east  of  As-syr4_a. 
And  the  fourth  river  is  Eu-phraHe§. 

15  And  the  Lord  God  took  ®the 
man,  and  ‘’put  him  into  the  garden 
of  E-den  to  dress  it  and  to  keep  it, 

16  And  the  Lord  God  commanded 
the  man,  saying.  Of  every  tree  of 
the  garden  ^ thou  mayest  freely  eat : 

17  ^But  of  the  tree  of  the  know- 

ledge of  good  and  evil,  ^thou  shalt 
not  eat  of  it : for  in  the  day  that 
thou  eatest  thereof  Hhou®  shalt 
surely  die.  . 

18  51  And  the  Lord  God  said.  It  is 
not  good  that  the  man  should  be 
alone;  “I  will  make  him  an  help 
^meet  for  him. 

19  ^'And  out  of  the  ground  the 
Lord  God  formed  every  beast  of 
the  field,  and  every  fowl  of  the  air ; 
and  ^brought  them  unto  ^Ad-am  to 
see  what  he  would  call  them:  and 
whatsoever  Ad-am  called  every  liv- 
ing creature,  that  was  the  name 
thereof.  ^ 

20  And  Ad-am  ^gave  names  to  all 
cattle,  and  to  the  fowl  of  the  air, 
and  to  every  beast  of  the  field  ; but 
for  Ad-am  there  was  not  found  an 
help  meet  for  him. 

21  And  the  Lord  God  caused  a 

“deep  sleep  to  fall  upon  Ad-am, 
and  he  slept : and  he  took  one  of 
his  ribs,  and  closed  up  the  flesh 
instead  thereof;  , , , t 

22  And  the  rib,  which  the  Lord 

God  had  taken  from  man,  ®made

1 The  serpent  deceiveth  Eve.  6 Man's  shameful  fall.  14 
The  serpent  is  cursed.  15  The  promised  seed.  16  Pun-

IVT  OW  ^ the  serpent  was  ^ more 
iAI  subtil  than  any  beast  of  the 
field  which  the  Lord  God  had 
made.  And  he  said  unto  the  wo- 
man, ^Yea,  hath  God  said.  Ye  shall 
not  eat  of  every  tree  of  the  garden^ 

2 And  the  woman  said  unto  the 
serpent.  We  may  eat  of  the  fruit  of 
the  trees  of  the  garden : 

3 "‘But  of  the  fruit  of  the  tree 
which  is  in  the  midst  of  the  gar- 
den, God  hath  said,  Ye  shall  not 
eat  of  it,  neither  shall  ye  touch  it, 
lest  ye  die. 

4 "’And  the  serpent  said  unto  the 
woman.  Ye  shall  not  surely  die : 

5 For  God  doth  know  that  in  the 
day  ye  eat  thereof,  then  “your  eyes 
shall  be  opened,  and  ye  shall  be  as 
gods,  knowing  good  and  evil. 

6 And  when  the  woman  saw  that 
the  tree  was  good  for  food,  and  that 
it  was  ^pleasant  to  the  eyes,  and 
a tree  to  be  desired  to  make  one 
wise,  she  took  of  the  fruit  thereof, 
“and  did  eat,  and  gave  also  unto 
her  husband  with  her;  ‘'and  he 
did  eat. 

7 And  ®the  eyes  of  them  both  were 
opened,  -^and  they  knew  that  they 
were  naked ; and  they  sewed  fig 
leaves  together,  and  made  them- 
selves ’aprons.

Lord  God  walking  in  the  garden 
in  the  ®cool  of  the  day:  and  Ad-am

Ad-am,  and  said  unto  him.  Where

10  And  he  said,  I heard  thy  voice 
in  the  garden,  *and  I was  afraid,

myself.

that  thou  wast  naked'?  Hast  thou

2 And  she  again  bare  his  brother 
®A-b6l.  And  A-bel  was  ^a  keeper 
of  sheep,  but  -Gain  was  a tiller  of 
the  ground. 

3 And  ^in  process  of  time  it  came 
to  pass,  that  Gain  brought  *of  the 
fruit  of  the  ground  an  offering  unto 
the  Lord^ 

4 And  A-bgl,  he  also  brought  of 
‘'the  firstlings  of  his  ®flock  and  of 
the  fat  thereof.  And  the  Lord 
had  ‘^respect  unto  A-bel  and  to  his 
offering : 

5 But  unto  Gain  and  to  his  offer- 
ing he  had  not  respect.  And  Gain 
was  very  wroth,  ®and  his  counte- 
nance fell. 

6 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gain, 
Why  art  thou  wroth  1 and  why  is 
thy  countenance  fallen  1 

7 If  thou  doest  well,  shalt  thou 
not  ®be  accepted  ? and  if  thou  doest 
not  well,  sin  lieth  at  the  door.  And 
^unto  thee  shall  he  his  desire,  and 
thou  shalt  rule  over  him.  _ 

8 And  Gain  talked  with  A-bel  his 
brother : and  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  in  the  field,  that  Gain 
rose  up  against  A-bel  his  brother, 
and  '"slew  him. 

9 U And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gain, 
Where  is  A-bel  thy  brother '?  And 
he  said.  *I  know  not:  Am  I my 
brother  s keeper  1 

10  And  he  said.  What  hast  thou 
donel  the  voice  of  thy  brother’s 
® blood  ^crieth  unto  me  from  the

1 1 And  now  art  thou  cursed  from 
the  earth,  which  hath  opened  her 
mouth  to  receive  thy  brother’s 
blood  from  thy  hand; 

12  When  thou  tillest  the  ground, 
it  shall  not  henceforth  yield  unto 
thee  her  strength  ; a fugitive  and  a 
vagabond  shalt  thou  be  in  the  earth. 

13  And  Gain  said  unto  the  Lord, 
-^My  punishment  is  greater  than  1 
can  bear. 

14  Behold,  thou  hast  driven  me 
out  this  day  from  the  face  of  the 
earth ; and  "from  thy  face  shall  I 
be  hid ; and  I shall  be  a fugitive 
and  a vagabond  in  the  earth ; and

Therefore  whosoever  slayeth  Gain, 
vengeance  shall  be  taken  on  him 
sevenfold.  And  the  Lord  set  a 
mark  upon  Gain,  lest  any  finding

AND  it  came  to  pass,  ‘^when  men 
JLl_  began  to  multiply  on  the  face 
of  the  earth,  and  daughters  were 
born  unto  them, 

2 That  the  sons  of  God  saw  the 
daughters  of  men  that  they  were 
fair;  and  they  ®took  them  wives 
of  all  which  they  chose. 

3 And  the  Lord  said,  -^My  spirit 
shall  not  always  strive  with  man, 
^for  that  he  also  is  flesh : yet  his 
days  shall  be  an  hundred  and 
twenty  years. 

4 There  were  giants  in  the  earth 
in  those  days ; and  also  after  that, 
when  the  sons  of  God  came  in  un- 
to the  daughters  of  men,  and  they 
bare  children  to  them,  the  same 
became  mighty  men  which  were  of 
old,  men  of  renown. 

5 11  And  God  saw  that  the  wicked- 
ness of  maiL  wus  great  in  the  earth, 
and  that  ^ every  ^imagination  of  the 
thoughts  of  his  hear,^  was  only  evil 
® continually. 

6 And  ^’it  repented  the  Lord  that 
he  had  made  man  on  the  earth, 
and  it  ’’‘^grieved  him  at  his  heart. 

7 And  the  Lord  said,  I will  destroy 
man  whom  I have  created  from  the 
face  of  the  earth ; "^both  rnan,  and 
beast,  and  the  creeping  thing,  and 
the  fowls  of  the  air ; for  it  repent- 
eth  me  that  I have  made  them. 

8 But  No-ah  ‘’found  grace  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord. 

911  These_  are  the  generations  of 
No-ah  : ^ No-ah  was  a just  man  and, 
''^perfect  in  his  generations,  and 
No-ah  ^walked  with  God. 

10  And  No-ah  begat  three  sons, 
^Sh6m,  Ham,  and  Ja-pheth. 

11  The  earth  also  was  corrupt 
* before  God,  and  the  earth  was 
'’filled  with  violence. 

12  And  God  “looked  upon  the 
earth,  and,  behold,  it  was  corrupt ; 
for  all  flesh  had  corrupted  his  way 
upon  the  earth. 

13  And  God  said  unto  No-ah,  *The 
end  of  all  flesh  is  come  before  me  ;

the  ark,  and  shalt  pitch  it  within 
and  without  with  pitch. 

15  And  this  is  the  fashion  which 
thou  shalt  make  it  of:  The  length 
of  the  ark  shall  he  three  hundred

cubits.  1 1 .

ark  shalt  thou  set  in  the  side  there- 
of ; with  lower,  second,  and  third 
stories  shalt  thou  make  it. 

17  ‘'And,  behold,  I,  even  I,  do 
bring  a flood  of  waters  upon  the 
earth,  to  destroy  all  flesh,  wherein 
is  the  breath  of  life,  from  under 
heaven ; and  every  thing  that 
in  the  earth  shall  die. 

18  But  with  thee  will  I establish 
my  covenant ; and  ®thou  shalt  come 
into  the  ark,  thou,  and  thy  sons, 
and  thy  wife,  and  thy  sons’  wives 
with  thee. 

19  And  of  every  living  thing  of 
all  flesh,  '‘two  of  every  sort  shalt 
thou  bring  into  the  ark,  to  keep 
them  alive  with  thee;  they  shall 
be  male  and  female.

of  cattle  after  their  kind,  of  every 
creeping  thing  of  the  earth  after  his 
kind,  two  of  every  sort  'shall  come 
unto  thee,  to  keep  them  alive.

food  that  is  eaten,  and  thou  shalt 
gather  it  to  thee;  and  it  shall  be 
for  food  for  thee,  and  for  them.

did  he.

‘^No-ah  only  remained  alive,  and

AND  God -^remembered  No-ah,  and 
every  living  thing,  and  all  the 
cattle  that  was  with  him  in  the  ark : 
'^and  God  made  a wind  to  pass  over 
the  earth,  and  the  waters  asswaged ; 

2 *The  fountains  also  of  the  deep 
and  the  windows  of  heaven  were 
stopped,  and  'the  rain  from  heaven 
was  restrained ; 

3 And  the  waters  returned  from 
off  the  earth  ^continually : and  after 
the  end  ”*of  the  hundred  and  fifty 
days  the  waters  were  abated. 

4 And  the  ark  rested  in  the  seventh 
month,  on  the  seventeenth  day  of 
the  month,  upon  the  mountains  of 
Ar-a-rat. 

5 And  the  waters  ^decreased  con- 
tinually until  the  tenth  month ; in 
the  tenth  month,  on  the  first  day 
of  the  month,  were  the  tops  of  the 
mountains  seen. 

6 ^ And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end 
of  forty  days,  that  No-ah  opened 
«the  window  of  the  ark  which  he 
had  made; 

7 And  he  sent  forth  a raven,  which 
went  forth  Ho  and  fro,  until  the  wa- 
ters were  dried  up  from  off  the  earth. 

8 Also  he  sent  forth  a dove  from 
him,  to  see  if  the  waters  were  abated 
from  off  the  face  of  the  ground ; 

9 But  the  dove  found  no  rest  for 
the  sole  of  her  foot,  and  she  re- 
turned unto  him  into  the  ark,  for 
the  waters  were  on  the  face  of  the 
whole  earth  : then  he  put  forth  his 
hand,  and  took  her,  and  *^pulled  her 
in  unto  him  into  the  ark. 

10  And  he  stayed  yet  other  seven 
days ; and  again  he  sent  forth  the 
dove  out  of  the  ark ;

an  olive  leaf  pluckt  off:  so  No-ah 
knew  that  the  waters  were  abated 
from  off  the  earth. 

1 2 And  he  stayed  yet  other  seven 
days ; and  sent  forth  the  dove ; 
which  returned  not  again  unto  him 
any  more. 

13  H And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
six  hundredth  and  first  year,  in 
the  first  month,  the  first  day  of  the 
month,  the  waters  were  dried  up 
from  off  the  earth  : and  No-ah  re- 
moved the  covering  of  the  ark,  and 
looked,  and,  behold,  the  face  of  the 
ground  was  dry. 

14  And  in  the  second  month,  on 
the  seven  and  twentieth  day  of  the 
month,  was  the  earth  dried. 

15  H And  God  spake  unto  No-ah, 
saying, 

16  Go  forth  of  the  ark,  Hhou,  and 
thy  wife,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy 
sons’  wives  with  thee. 

17  Bring  forth  with  thee  ^every 
living  thing  that  is  with  thee,  of 
all  flesh,  both  of  fowl,  and  of  cattle, 
and  of  every  creeping  thing  that 
creepeth  upon  the  earth  ; that  they 
may  breed  abundantly  in  the  earth, 
and  *be  fruitful,  and  multiply  upon 
the  earth. 

18  And  No^ah  went  forth,  and  his 
sons,  and  his  wife,  and  his  sons’ 
wives  with  him: 

19  Every  beast,  every  creeping 

thing,  and  every  fowl,  and  what- 
soever creepeth  upon  the  earth, 
after  their  ^ kinds,  went  forth  out 
of  t/h.©  3/rk  " 

20  ^ And  No-ah  builded  an  altar 
unto  the  Lorp  ; and  took  of  ”every 
clean  beast,  and  of  every  clean 
fowl,  and  offered  burnt  offerings 
on  the  altar. 

21  And  the  Lord  smelled  “a®  sweet 
savour;  and  the  Lord  said  in  his 
heart,  I will  not  again  ^ curse  the 
ground  any  more  for  man’s  sake; 
®for  the  ’’imagination  of  man’s  heart 
is  evil  from  his  youth  ; ^neither  will 
I again  smite  any  more  every  thing 
living,  as  I have  done. 

22  'While®  the  earth  remaineth,

heat,  and  summer  and  winter,  and 
“day  and  night  shall  not  cease.

The  sons  of  Noah. 


2 “And  tlie  fear  of  you  and  the 
dread  of  you  shall  be  upon  every 
beast  of  the  earth,  and  upon  every 
fowl  of  the  air,  upon  all  that  mov- 
eth  upon  the  earth,  and  upon  all 
the  fishes  of  the  sea;  into  your 
hand  are  they  delivered. 

3 Every  moving  thing  that  liveth 
shall  be  meat  for  you ; even  as  the 
-^green  herb  have  I given  you  ^^all 
things. 

4 *But  flesh  with  the  life  thereof, 
which  is  the  blood  thereof,  shall  ye 

not  eat.  i i n 

5 And  surely  your  blood  of  your 
lives  will  I require;  *at  the  hand 
of  every  beast  will  I require  it,  and 
”"at  the  hand  of  man ; at  the  hand 
of  every  ^ man’s  brother  will  I re- 
quire the  life  of  man. 

6 ^ Whoso  sheddeth  mans  blood, 
by  man  shall  his  blood  be  shed : ^for 
in  the  image  of  God  made  he  man. 

7 And  you,  ^be  ye  fruitful,  and 
multiply;  bring  forth  abundantly 
in  the  earth,  and  multiply  therein. 

8 11  And  God  spake  unto  Nq-ah, 
and  to  his  sons  with  him,  saying, 

9 And  1,  * behold,  1 establish  *my 

covenant  with  you,  and  with  your 
seed  after  you  ; . 

10  ^And  with  every  living  crea- 
ture that  is  with  you,  of  the  fowl 
of  the  cattle,  and  of  every  beast  of 
the  earth  with  you ; from  all  that 
go  out  of  the  ark,  to  every  beast  ot 
t^he  earth. 

11  And  will  establish  my  cove- 
nant with  you ; neither  shall  all  flesh 
be  cut  off  any  more  by  the  waters 
of  a flood ; neither  shall  there  any 
more  be  a flood  to  destroy  the  earth. 

12  And  God  said,  "This  the 
token  of  the  covenant  which  I 
make  between  me  and  you  and 
every  living  creature  that  is  with 
you,  for  perpetual  generations : 

13  I do  set  ‘*my  bow  in  the  cloud, 
and  it  shall  be  for  a token  of  a cov- 
enant between  me  and  the  earth. 

14  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when 
I bring  a cloud  over  the  earth,  that 
the  bow  shall  be  seen  in  the  cloud  : 

15  And  ^1  will  remember  my  cov- 
enant, which  is  between  me  an(l 
you  and  every  living  creature  ot 
all  flesh ; and  the  waters  shall  no 
more  become  a flood  to  destroy  all 

flesh.  , ,,  1 .

living  creature  of  all  flesh  that  is

of  their  father;  and  their  faces 
were  backward,  and  they  saw  not 
their  father’s  nakedness. 

24  And  No-ah  awoke  from  his 
wine,  and  knew  what  his  younger 
son  had  done  unto  him.

CHAPTER  11. 

1 One  language  in  the  ivorld.  3 The  building  of  Babel, 

and  confusion  of  tongues.  10  The  generations  of  Shem, 

27  and  of  Terah.  31  Terah  goeth  from  Ur  to  Haran. 

AND  the  whole  earth  was  of  one 
^language,  and  of  one  ^speech. 

2 And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
journeyed  ®from  the  east,  that  they 
found  a plain  in  the  land  of  Shi-nar; 
and  they  dwelt  there. 

3 And  ®they  said  one  to  another, 
Go  to,  let  us  make  brick,  and  ®bur? 
them  throughly.  And  they  had 
brick  for  stone,  and  slime  had  they 
for  morter. 

4 And  they  said,  Go  to,  let  us 
build  us  a city  and  a tower,  ^ whose 
top  may  reach  unto  heaven;  and 
let  us  make  us  a name,  lest  we  be 
scattered  abroad  upon  the  face  of 
the  whole  earth. 

5 *And  the  Lord  came  down  to 
see  the  city  and  the  tower,  which 
the  children  of  men  builded. 

6 And  the  Lord  said,  Behold,  '^the 
people  is  one,  and  they  have  all  'one 
language;  and  this  they  begin  to 
do:  and  now  nothing  will  be  re- 
strained from  them,  which  they 
have  "“imagined  to  do. 

7 Go  to,  “let  us  go  down,  and  there 
confound  their  language,  that  they 
may  "not  understand  one  another’s 
speech. 

8 So  ^the  Lord  scattered  them 
abroad  from  thence  “upon  the  face 
of  all  the  earth:  and  they  left  off 
to  build  the  city. 

9 Therefore  is  the  name  of  it 
called  ‘‘Ba-bel;  'because  the  Lord 
did  there  confound  the  language 
of  all  the  earth:  and  from  thence 
did  the  Lord  scatter  them  abroad 
upon  the  face  of  all  the  earth.

32  And  the  days  of  Tedah  were 
two  hundred  and  five  years:  and 
Teh’ah  died  in  Hadan. 

CHAPTER  12. 

1 God  calleth  Abram,  and  blesseth  him.  4 Be  departeth 
vMh  Lot  from  Haran.  6 He  joumeyeth  through  Car 
naan.  10  He  is  driven  by  a famine  into  Egypt. 

l^OW  the  *Lokd  had  said  unto 
Adram,  Get  thee  out  of  thy 
country,  and  from  thy  kindred, 
and  from  thy  father’s  house,  unto 
a land  that  I will  shew  thee : 

2 ‘^And  I will  make  of  thee  a great 
nation,  ‘^and  I will  bless  thee,  and 
make  thy  name  great;  ®and  thou 
shalt  be  a blessing : 

3 ^^And  I will  bless  them  that  bless 
thee,  and  curse  him  that  curseth 
thee : *and  in  thee  shall  all  families 
of  the  earth  be  blessed. 

4 So  Adram  departed,  as  the  Lord 

had  spoken  unto  him ; and  Let  went 
with  him : and  Adram  was  seventy 
and  five  years  old  when  he  departed 
out  of  Hadan.  _ 

5 And  Adram  took  Sa-rai  his  wife, 
and  Lot  his  brother’s  son,  and  all 
their  substance  that  they  had  ga- 
thered, and  \the  souls  that  they 
had  gotten  in  Hadan ; and  they 
went  forth  to  go  into  the  land  of 
•Cadaan  ; and  into  the  laiid  of  -Ca- 
naan they  came. 

6 H And  A-bram  “passed  through 
the  land  unto  the  place  of  Si-chem, 
"unto  the  plain  of  Modeh.  ^ ^And 
the  -Cadaan-ite  was  then  in  th& 
land. 

_7  “And  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
Adram,  and  said,  *Unto  thy  seea 
will  I give  this  land : and  there 
builded  he  an  ^altar  unto  the  Lord, 
who  appeared  unto  him. 

8 And  he  removed  from  thence 
unto  a mountain  on  the  east  of 
Beth'-el,  and  pitched  his  tent,  hav- 
ing Beth -el  on  the  west,  and  Ha-i 
on  the  east : and  there  he  buildea 
an  altar  unto  the  Lord,  and  ^called 
upon  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

9 And  Adram  journeyed,  ^'going' 
on  still  toward  the  south. 

10  And  there  was  ^a  famine  in 

the  land:  and  Adram  Hvent  down 
into  E-gypt  to  sojourn  there;  for 
the  famine  was  ^grievous  in  the 
land.  . 

1 1 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
was  come  near  to  enter  into  E-gypt, 
that  he  said  unto  Sa-rai  his  wife, 
Behold  now,  I know  that  thou  art 
^a  fair  woman  to  look  upon: 

12  Therefore  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  the  E-gyp-tians  shall  see  th^, 
that  they  shall  say.  This  is  his  wife : 
and  they  '^will  kill  me,  but  they  ^vill 
save  thee  alive.

13  “Say,  I pray  thee,  thou  art  my 
sister:  that  it  may  be  well  with 
me  for  thy  sake:  and  my  soul  shall 
live  because  of  thee. 

14  ^ And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  A-bram  was  come  into  E- 
gypt,  the  E-gyp-tians  ® beheld  the 
woman  that  she  was  very  fair. 

15  The  princes  also  of  Pha-raoh 
saw  her,  and  commended  her  be- 
fore Pha-raoh : and  the^  woman  was 
* taken  into  Pha-ra6h’s  house. 

16  And  he  ^entreated  A-bram  well 
for  her  sake:  and  he  had  sheep, 
and  oxen,  and  he  asses,  and  men- 
servants,  and  maidservants,  and 
she  asses,  and  camels. 

17  And  the  Lord  * plagued  Pha- 
raoh and  his  house  with  great 
plagues  because  of  Sa-rai  A-bram’s 
wife. 

18  And  Pha-raoh  called  A-bram, 
and  said,  ”*What  is  this  tfiat  thou 
hast  done  unto  mel  why  didst  thou 
not  tell  me  that  she  was  thy  wife? 

19  Why  saidst  thou.  She  is  my 
sister?  so  I might  have  taken  her 
to  me  to  wife : now  therefore  behold 
thy  wife,  take  her,  and  go  thy  way. 

20  ^And  Pha-raoh  commanded  his 
men  concerning  him : and  they  sent 
him  away,  and  his  wife,  and  all 
that  he  had. 

CHAPTER  13. 

i A bram  and  Lot  return  out  of  Egypt.  7 By  disagreement 
they  part  asunder.  10  Lot  goeth  to  wicked  Sodom.  14 
6od  reneweth  the  promise  to  Ahram.  18  He  removcth  to 
Hebron,  and  there  bulldeth  an  altar. 

AND  A-bram  went  up  out  of  E- 
JjL  gypt.  he,  and  his  wife,  and  all 
that  he  had,  and  LSt  with  him, 
*into  the  south.  s 

2 “And  A-bram  was  very  rich  in 
cattle,  in  silver,  and  in  gold. 

3 And  he  went  on  his  journeys 
*from  the  south  even  to  jBeth-gl, 
unto  the  place  where  his  tent  had 
been  at  the  beginning,  between 
BetlT-61  and  Ha^I ; 

4 Unto  the  ® place  of  the  altar, 
^vhich  he  had  made  there  at  the 
first:  and  there  A-bram  -^called  on 
the  name  of  the  Lord. 

5 ^ And  Lot  also,  which  went  with 
A-bram,  had  flocks,  and  herds,  and 
tents. 

6 And  ^the  land  was  not  able  to 
bear  them,  that  they  might  dwell 
together:  for  their  substance  was 
great,  so  that  they  could  not  dwell 
together. 

7 And  there  was  ^a  strife  between 
the  herdmen  of  A-bram’s  cattle  and 
the  herdmen  of  Lot’s  cattle:  ^and 
the  -Ga-naan-ite  and  the  POr-ias-zIte

10  And  Lot  lifted  up^  his  eyes, 
and  beheld  all  -^the  plain  of  Jor- 
dan, that  it  ivas  well  watered  every 
where,  before  the  Lord  '‘destroyed 
Sod-Om  and  G6-m0r-rah,  ^even  as 
the  garden  of  the  Lord,  like  the 
land  of  E^ypt,  as  thou  comest 
unto  'Zo-ar. 

11  Then  LOt  chose  him  all  the 
plain  of  JOr-dan ; and  Lot  jour- 
neyed east : and  they  separated 
themselves  the  one  from  the  other. 

12  A-bram  dwelled  in  the  land  of 
■Ga-naan,  and  Lot  "dwelled  in  the 
cities  of  the  plain,  and  “pitched  his 
tent  toward  Sod-Om. 

13  But  the  men  of  SOd-Om  ^were 
wicked  and  ® sinners  before  the 
Lord  exceedingly. 

14  H And  the  Lord  said  unto 
A-bram,  after  that  Lot  *was  sepa- 
rated from  him.  Lift  up  now  thine 
e.yes,  and  look  from  the  place  where 
thou  art  * northward,  and  south- 
ward, and  eastward,  and  westward: 

15  For  all  the  land  which  thou 
seest,  “to  thee  will  I give  it,  and 
'‘^to  thy  seed  for  ever. 

16  And  will  make  thy  seed  as 
the  dust  of  the  earth : so  that  if  a 
man  can  number  the  dust  of  the 
earth,  then  shall  thy  seed  also  be 
numbered. 

1 7 Arise,  walk  through  the  land  in 
the  length  of^  it  and  in  the  breadth 
of  it ; for  I will  give  it  unto  thee. 

18  Then  A-bram  removed  his  tent, 
and  came  and  “dwelt  in  the  ‘^plain 
of  Mam-re,  ‘'which  is  in  He-brOn, 
and  built  there  an  altar  unto  the 
Lord.

were  with  him,  and  smote  ^the 
Keph-Aims  in  Ash-te-r5th  Kar-na- 
im,  and  *the  Zu-zims  in  Ham,  'and 
the  E-mim§  in  ^ Sha-veh  Kir-i-a- 
tha-im, 

6 ® And  the  Ho-rltes  in  their  mount 
Se-ir,  unto  ‘^El-pa-ran,  which  is  by 
the  wilderness. 

7 And  they  returned,  ^ and  came 
to  En-mish-pat,  which  is  Ka-desh, 
and  smote  all  the  country  of  the 
Am-a-lek-ites,  and  also  the  Am-6r- 
ites,  that  dwelt  ’’in  Haz-g-z5n-ta- 

8 And  there  went  out  the  king  of 
S0d-5m,  and  the  king  of  G6-mbr- 
rah,  and  the  king  of  Ad-mah,  and 
the  king  of  Ze-boi-im,  and  the  king 
of  Beda  (the  same  is  Zo-ar;)  and 
they  joined  battle  with  them  in 
the  vale  of  Sid-dim ; 

9 With  ■Ghed-6r-la-5-mer  the  king 
of  Edam,  and  with  TTdal  king  of 
nations,  and  Am-ra-phel  king  of 
Shf-nar,  and  A-ri-5cH  king  of  El- 
la-sar ; 'four  kings  with  five. 

10  And  the  vale  of  Sid' dim  was 
full  of  "^slimepits  ; and  the  kings  of 
Sod-Om  and  G6-m5r-rah  fled,  and 
fell  there ; and  they  that  remained 
fled  ^to  the  mountain. 

11  And  they  took  ^all  the  goods 
of  S6d-5m  and  G6-m5r-rah,  and  all 
their  victuals,  and  went  their  way. 

12  And  they  took  L5t,  A^bram’s 
‘'brother’s  son,  ‘'who  dwelt  in  S5d- 
Om,  and  his  goods,  and  departed. 

13  H And  there  came  one  that  had 

escaped,  and  told  A-bram  the  He- 
biw;  for  '‘he  dwelt  in  the  plain 
of  Mam-re  the  Am-6r-ite,  brother 
of  Esh-cbl,  and  brother  of  A-ner: 
'and  these  were  confederate  with 
A-bram.  _ 

14  And  when  A-bram  heard  that 
'his  brother  was  taken  captive,  he 
^armed  his  ^trained  servants,  "‘born 
in  his  own  house,  three  hundred 
and  eighteen,  and  pursued  them 
“unto  Dan. 

15  And  he  divided  himself  against 
them,  he  and  his  servants,  by  night, 
and  ^ smote  them,  and  pursued  them 
unto  Ho-bah,  which  is  on  the  left 
hand  of  Da-mas-cus. 

16  And  he  brought  back  all  me 

goods,  and  also  brought  again  his 
rother  L6t,  and  his  goods,  and  the 
women  also,  and  the  people.

CHAPTER  15. 

1 God  encourageth  Abram.  2 Abram’s  complaint.  4 God 
promiseth  him  a son,  and  a multiplying  of  his  seed. 

6 A bram  is  justified  by  faith.  7 Canaan  is  promised 
again,  and  is  confirmed  by  a sign,  12  and  by  a vision. 

AFTER  these  things  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  unto  A-bram 
“in  a vision,  saying,  '’Fear  not, 
A-bram:  I am  thy  “shield,  and 
thy  exceeding  •''great  reward. 

2 And  A-bram  said.  Lord  God, 

what  wilt  thou  give  me,  ^seeing  I 
go  childless,  and  the  steward  of 
my  house  is  this  E-li-e-zer  of  Da- 
mas-ciis  1 . , i , 

3 And  A-bram  said.  Behold,  to  me 
thou  hast  given  no  seed : anth  lo, 
'•one  born  in  my  house  is  mine  heir. 

4 And,  behold,  the  word  of_toe 
Lord  came  unto  him,  saying.  This 
shall  not  be  thine  heir ; but  he  that 
"shall  come  forth  out  of  thine  own 
bowels  shall  be  thine  heir. 

5 And  he  brought  him  forth  a^ 
broad,  and  said.  Look  now  toward 
heaven,  and  ®tell  the  "stars,  if  thou 
be  able  to  number  them : and  he  said 
unto  him,  *So  shall  thy  seed  be. 

6 And  he  'believed  in  the  Loip; 

and  he  “counted  it  to  him  for  right- 
eousness. 1 . T 

7 And  he  said  unto  him,  i am

of  “Crr  of  the  Ghal-dees,/’to  give 
thee  this  land  to  inherit  it. 

8 And  he  said,  Lord  God, whereby 
shall  I know  that  I shall  inherit  it  % 

9 And  he  said  unto  him.  Take  me 
«,n  heifer  of  three  years  old,  and 
a she  goat  of  three  years  old,  and 
a ram  of  three  years  old,  and  a 
turtledove,  and  a young  pigeon. 

10  And  he  took  unto  him  all 
these,  and  ^divided  them  in  the 
midst,  and  laid  each  piece  one 
against  another:  but  *the  birds 
divided  he  not. 

1 1 And  when  the  fowls  came  down 
upon  the  carcases,  A-bram  drove 
them  away. 

12  And  when  the  sun  was  going 
down,  *a  deep  sleep  fell  upon  A- 
bram  ; and,  lo,  an  horror  of  great 
darkness  fell  upon  him. 

13  And  he  said  unto  A-bram, 
Know  of  a surety  ‘’that  thy  seed 
shall  be  a stranger  in  a land  that 
is  not  their’s,  and  shall  serve  them  ; 
and  ®they  shall  afflict  them  four 
hundred  years ; 

14  And  also  that  nation,  whom 
they  shall  serve,  ® will  I judge : 
and  afterward  “shall  they  come 
out  with  great  substance. 

15  And  ‘'thou  shalt  go  ^to  thy 
fathers  in  peace;  Hhou  shalt  be 
buried  in  a good  old  age. 

16  But  “in  the  fourth  generation 
they  shall  come  hither  again : for 
the  iniquity  *of  the  Am-6r-ites  ^is 
not  yet  full. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  the  sun  went  down,  and  it 
was  dark,  behold  a smoking  fur- 
nace, and  '^a  burning  lamp  that 
^passed  between  those  pieces. 

18  In  the  same  day  the  Lord 
^made  a covenant  with  A-bram, 
saying,  *Unto  thy  seed  have  1 
given  this  land,  from  the  river  of 
E-gypt  unto  the  great  river,  the 
river  Eu-phrade§ : 

19  The  Ken-ites,  and  the  K6n4z-

the  voice  of  _Sa-rai. 

3_And  Sa-rai  A-bram’s  wife  took 
Ha%ar  her  maid  the  E-gyp-tjan, 
after  A-bram  -^had  dwelt  ten  years 
in  the  land  of  -Ca-naan,  and  gave 
her  to  her  husband  A-bram  to  be

4 ^ And  he  went  in  unto  Ha%ar,

CHAPTER  17. 

1 God  reneweth  the  covenant.  5 A bram's  name  is  changed. 

10  Circumcision  is  instituted.  15  Harai's  name  is  changed. 

17  Isaac  is  promieed. 

AND  when  A-bram  was  ninety 
years  old  and  nine,  the  Lord 
appeared  to  A-bram,  and  said  unto 
him,  am  the  Almighty  God ; 

^ walk  before  me,  and  be  thou 
^perfect.^ 

2 And  I will  make  my  covenant 
between  me  and  thee,  and  ^wiR 
multiply  thee  exceedingly.^ 

3 And  A-bram  fell  on  his  face : 
and  God  talked  with  him,  saying, 

4 As  for  me,  behold,  my  covenant 
is  with  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  *a 
father  of  ^many  nations. 

5 Neither  shall  thy  name  anymore 
be  called  A-bram,  but  *thy  name 
shall  be  ^A-bra-ham ; *for  a father 
of  many  nations  have  I made  thee. 

6 And  I will  make  thee  exceeding 
fruitful,  and  I will  make  ""nations 
of  thee,  and  "kings  shall  come  out 
of  thee. 

7 And  I will  "establish  my  cove- 
nant between  me  and  thee  and  thy 
seed  after  thee  in  their  generations 
for  an  everlasting  covenant,  *to  be 
a God  unto  thee,  and  to  Hhy  seed 
after  thee. 

8 And  "'I  will  give  unto  thee,  and 

to  thy  seed  after  thee,  the  land 
2' wherein®  thou  art  a stranger,  all 
the  land  of  -Ga-naan,  for  an  ever- 
lasting possession ; and  H will  be 
their  God.  _ 

9 H And  God  said  unto  A -bra-ham, 
Thou  shalt  keep  my  covenant  there- 
fore, thou,  and  thy  seed  after  thee 
in  their  generations. 

10  This  is  my  covenant,  which  ye 
shall  keep,  between  me  and  you 
and  thy  seed  after  thee;  “Every 
man  child  among  you  shall  be  cir- 
cumcised. 

11  And  ye  shall  circumcise  the 
flesh  of  your  foreskin ; and  it  shall 
be  ^a  token  of  the  covenant  betwixt 
tne  and  you. 

12  And  '^he  that  is  eight  days  old 
'shall  be  circumcised  among  you, 
every  man  child  in  your  genera- 
tions, he  that  is  born  in  the  house, 
or  bought  with  money  of  any  stran- 
ger, which  is  not  of  thy  seed. 

13  He  that  is  born  in  thjr  house, 
and  he  that  is  bought  with  thy 
money,  must  needs  be  circumcised : 
and  my  covenant  shall  be  in  your 
flesh  for  an  everlasting  covenant. 

14  And  the  uncircumcised  man 
child  whose  flesh  of  his  foreskin  is 
not  circumcised,  that  soul  "shall  be 
cut  off  from  his  people;  he  hath 
broken  my  covenant.

1 5 U And  God  said  unto  A-bra-ham, 
As  for  Sa-rai  thy  wife,  thou  shalt 
not  call  her  name  Sa-rai,  but  ^SaAah 
shall  her  name  be. 

16  And  1 will  bless  her,  “and  giye 
thee  a son  also  of  her : yea,  I will 
bless  her,  and  ^ she  shall  be  a 
mother  "of  nations;  kings  of  peo- 
ple shall  be  of  her. 

17  Then  A-bra-ham  fell  upon  his 
face,  •''and  laughed,  and  said  in  his 
heart,  Shall  a child  be  born  unto 
him  that  is  an  hundred  years  old  1 
and  shall  Sa-rah,  that  is  ninety 
years  old, _ bear  1 

1 8 And  A-bra-ham  said  unto  God, 

0 that  Ishbna-el  might  live  before 
thee’! 

19  And  God  said,  "Sa-rah  thy  wife 
shall  bear  thee  a son  indeed ; and 
thou  shalt  call  his  name  I-saac ; and 

1 will  establish  my  covenant  with 
him  for  an  everlasting  covenant, 
and  with  his  seed  after  him. 

20  And  as  for  Ish-ma-el,  I have 
heard  thee : Behold,  I have  blessed 
him,  and  will  make  him  fruitful, 
and  ^will  multiply  him  exceedingly ; 

^ twelve  princes  shall  he  beget,  "and 
I will  make  him  a great  nation. 

21  But  my  covenant  will  I estab- 
lish with  I-saac,  “which  Sa-rah  shall 
bear  unto  thee  at  this  set  time  in 
the  next  year. 

22  And  he  left  off  talking  with  mm, 
and  God  went  up  from  A-bra-ham. 

2311  And  A-bra-hS,m  took  Ish-ma-el 
his  son,  and  all  that  were  born  in 
his  house,  and  all  that  were  bought 
with  his  money,  every  male  among 
the  men  of  A-bra-ham’s  house ; and 
circumcised  the  flesh  of  their  fore- 
skin in  the  selfsame  day,  as  God 
had  said  unto  him. 

24  And  A-bra-ham  was  ninety 
years  old  and  nine,  when  he  was 
circumcised  in  the  flesh  of  his  fore- 
skin. 

25  And  Ish-ma-el  his  son  was 

thirteen  years  old,  when  he  was 
circumcised  in  the  flesh  of  his 
foreskin.  _ 

26  In  the  selfsame  day  was  A-bnv 

ham  circumcised,  and  Ish-ma-el  his 
son.  » , . 1 

27  And  "^all  the  men  of  his  house, 
born  in  the  house,  and  bought  with 
money  of  the  stranger,  were  cir- 
cumcised with  him. 

CHAPTER  18. 

1 Abraham  entertaineth  three  angels.  17  The  destructior' 
of  Sodom  is  revealed  to  Abraham.  23  Abraham  maket 
intercession  for  the  men  thereof. 

AND  the  Lord  appeared  unto  him 
in  the  ^plains  of  Mam-re ; and 
he  sat  in  the  tent  door  in  the  heat 
of  the  day; 


Ahrafiam  and  the  angels.  GENESIS,  18.  Sodom^ s destruction  revealed. 


2 “And  he  lift  up  his  eyes  and 
looked,  and,  lo,  three  men  stood 
by  him : *and  when  he  saw  them, 
he  ran  to  meet  them  from  the  tent 
door,  and  bowed  himself  toward 
the  ground, 

3 And  said,  My  Lord,  if  now  I have 
found  favour  in  thy  sight,  pass  not 
away,  I pray  thee,  from  thy  servant : 

4 liet  ®a  little  water,  I pray  you, 
be  fetched,  and  wash  your  feet,  and 
rest  yourselves  under  the  tree  : 

5 And  will  fetch  a morsel  of 
bread,  and  ^ comfort^  ye  your 
hearts ; after  that  ye  shall  pass 
on:  *for  therefore  ^are  ye  come 
to  your  servant.  And  they  said. 
So  do,  as  thou  hast  said. 

6 And  A'bra-ham  hastened  into  the 
tent  unto  Sa-rah,  and  said,  ^Make 
ready  quickly  three  measures  of 
fine  meal,  knead  it,  and  make  cakes 
upon  the  hearth. 

7 And  A-bra-ham  ran  unto  the 
herd,  and  fetcht  a calf  tender  and 
good,  and  gave  it  unto  a young 
man;  and  he  hasted  to  dress  it. 

8 And  ^he  took  butter,  and  milk, 
and  the  calf  which  he  had  dressed, 
and  set  it  before  them ; and  he  stood 
by  them  under  the  tree,  and  they 
did  eat. 

9 H And  they  said  unto  him.  Where 
is  Sa-rah  thy  wife  1 And  he  said. 
Behold,  *in  the  tent. 

10  And  he  said,  I *will  certainly 
return  unto  thee  “ according  to  the 
time  of  life;  and,  lo,  ^Sa-rah  thy 
wife  shall  have  a son.  And  Sa-rah 
heard  it  in  the  tent  door,  which 
was  behind  him. 

11  Now  * A-bra-ham  and  Sa-rah 
were  old  and  well  stricken  in  age ; 
and  it  ceased  to  be  with  Sa-rah 
® after  the  manner  of  women. 

^ 12  Therefore  Sa-rah  ‘^laughed  with- 
in herself,  saying,  ^After  I am  waxed 
old  shall  I have  pleasure,  my  ^lord 
being  old  also  'I 

13  And  the  Lord  said  unto  A-bra- 
ham,  Wherefore  did  Sa-rah  laugh, 
saying.  Shall  I of  a surety  bear  a 
child,  which  am  old  % 

14  Ms  any  thing  too  hard  for  the 
LordI  *At  the  time  appointed  I 
will  return  unto  thee,  according  to 
the  time  of  life,  and  Sa-rah  shall 
have  a son. 

15  Then  Sa-rah  denied,  saying,  I 
laughed  not ; for  she  was  afraid. 
And  he  said.  Nay ; but  thou  didst 
laugh. 

16  ^ And  the  men  rose  up  from 
thence,  and  looked  toward  Sod-Om : 
and  A-bra-ham  went  with  them  Ho 
bring  them  on  the  way.

which  I do; 

18  Seeing  that  A-bra-ham  shall 
surely  become  a great  and  mighty 
nation,  and  all  the  nations  of  the 
earth  shall  be  ® blessed  in  himi 

19  For  I know  him,  ‘^that  he  will

justice  and  judgment ; _ that  the 
Lord  may  bring  upon  A-bra-ham 
that  which  he  hath  spoken  of  him. 

20  And  the  Lord  said,  Because 
Hhe  cry  of  Sod-Om  and  Go-mOrHah 
is  great,  and  because  their  sin  is 
very  grievous  ; 

21  will  go  down  now,  and  see 
whether  they  have  done  altogether 
according  to  the  cry  of  it,  which  is 
come  unto  me;  and  if  not,  M will

22  And  the  men  turned  their  faces 
from  thence,  ”*and  went  toward  S5d- 
5m : but  A-bra-ham  ” stood  yet  be- 
fore the  Lord. 

23  H And  A-bra-ham  “drew  near, 
and  said,  ®Wilt  thou  also  destroy 
the  righteous  with  the  wicked^ 

24  Peradventure  there  be  fifty 
righteous  within  the  city : wilt  thou 
also  destroy  and  not  spare  the  place 
for  the  fifty  righteous  that  are 
therein  % 

25  That  be  far  from  thee  to  do 
after  this  manner,  to  slay  the  riglit- 
eous  with  the  wicked : and  ""that  the 
righteous  should  be  as  the  wicked, 
that  be  far  from  thee:  * Shall  not 
the  J udge  of  all  the  earth  do  right  ? 

26  And  the  Lord  said,  “If  I find 
in  S5d-6m  fifty  righteous  within 
the  city,  then  I will  spare  all  the 
place  for  their  sakes. 

27  And  A-bra-ham  answered  and 
said,  “Behold  now,  I have  taken 
upon  me  to  speak  unto  the  Lord, 
which  am  ^ but  dust  and  ashes : 

28  Perad venture  there  shall  lack 
five  of  the  fifty  righteous  : wilt  thou 
destroy  all  the  city  for  lack  of  five? 
And  he  said.  If  I find  there  forty 
and  five,  I will  not  destroy  it. 

29  And  he  spake  unto  him  yet 
again,  and  said,  Peradventure  there 
shall  be  forty  found  there.  And  he 
said,  I will  not  do  it  for  forty’s  sake. 

30  And  he  said  unto  him,  Oh  let 
not  the  Lord  be  angry,  and  I will 
speak : Peradventure  there  shall 
thirty  be  found  there.  And  he 
said,  I will  not  do  it,  if  I find 
thirty  there. 

31  And  he  said,  Behold  now,  I

with  A-bra-ham ; and  A-bra-ham

in  the  gate  of  S5d-om : and  L5t 
seeing  them  rose  up  to  meet  them ; 
and  he  bowed  himself  with  his  face 
toward  the  ground ; 

2 And  he  said.  Behold  now,  my 
lords,  ”*turn  in,  I pray  you,  into

lo,  "the  smoke  of  the  country  went 
up  as  the  smoke  of  a furnace. 

29  H And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
God  destroyed  the  cities  of  the 
plain,  that  God  ^remembered  A-bra- 
ham,  and  sent  Lot  out  of  the  midst 
of  the  overthrow,  when  he  over- 
threw the  cities  in  the  which  Lot 
dwelt. 

30  H And  Lot  went  up  out  of  Zo-ar, 
and  * dwelt  in  the  mountain,  and 
his  two  daughters  with  him;  for 
he  feared  to  dwell  in  Zo-ar : and 
he  dwelt  in  a cave,  he  and  his  two 
daughters. 

31  And  the  firstborn  said  unto 
the  younger.  Our  father  is  old, 
and  there  is  not  a man  in  the 
earth  ^to  come  in  unto  us  after  the 
manner  of  all  the  earth  : 

32  Come,  let  us  make  our  father 
drink  wine,  and  we  will  lie  with 
him,  that  we  *may  preserve  seed 
of  our  father. 

33  And  they  made  their  father 
drink  wine  that  night:  and  the 
firstborn  went  in,  and  lay  with  her 
father  ; and  he  perceived  not  when 
she  lay  down,  nor  when  she  arose. 

34  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  mor- 
row, that  the  firstborn  said  unto  the 
younger.  Behold,  I lay  yesternight 
v/ith  my  father:  let  us  make  him 
drink  wine  this  night  also ; and  go 
thou  in,  and  lie  with  him,  that  we 
may  preserve  seed  of  our  father. 

35  And  they  made  their  father 
drink  wine  that  night  also:  and 
the  younger  arose,  and  lay  with 
him ; and  he  perceived  not  when 
she  lay  down,  nor  when  she  arose. 

36  Thus  were  both  the  daughters 
of  Lot  with  child  by  their  father. 

37  And  the  firstborn  bare  a son, 
and  called  his  name  Mo-ab:  '‘the 
same  is  the  father  of  the  Mo-ab-ites 
unto  this  day. 

38  And  the  younger,  she  also  bare

children  of  Am-mOn  unto  this  day. 

CHAPTER  20. 

1 Abraham  at  Oerar.  2 He  denieth  his  wife.  3 Abim- 

elech,  reproved  for  her,  14  restoreth  Sarah,  17  and  is 

healed  by  Abraham's  prayer. 

AND  A-bra-ham  journeyed  from 
^ thence  toward  the  south 
country,  and  dwelled  between 
" Ka-desh  and  Shur,  and  ■'^sojourned 
in  Ge-rar._ 

2 And  A-bra-ham  said  of  Sa-rah 
his  wife,  ^ She  _ is  my  sister  : and 
A-bim-e-leeh  king  of  Geh’ar  sent, 
and  *took  Sa-rah. 

3 But  'God  came  to  A-bim-e-lech 
”‘in  a dream  by  night,  and  said  to 
him,  ” Behold,  thou  art  but  a dead 
man,  for  the  woman  which  thou 
hast  taken ; for  she  is  ‘“'a  man’s  wife. 

4 But  A-bim-e-lech  had  not  come 
near  her : and  he  said.  Lord,  ^wilt 
thou  slay  also  a righteous  nation  % 

5 Said  he  not  unto  me.  She  is  my 
sister  1 and  she,  even  she  herself 
said.  He  is  my  brother : ’’in  the  ^in- 
tegrity of  my  heart  and  innocency 
of  my  hands  have  I done  this. 

6 And  God  said  unto  him  in  a 
dream,  Yea,  I know  that  thou  didst 
this  in  the  integrity  of  thy  heart ; 
for  "I  alsp  withheld  thee  from  sin- 
ning’‘against  me:  therefore  suffered 
I thee  not  to  touch  her. 

7 Now  therefore  restore  the  man 
his  wife ; for  he  is  a prophet,  and 
he  shall  pray  for  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  live:  and  if  thou  restore  her 
not,  *know  thou  that  thou  shaft 
surely  die,  thou,  “and  all  that  are 
thine. 

8 Therefore  A-bim-g-lech  rose 
early  in  the  morning,  and  called 
all  His  servants,  and  told  all  these 
things  in  their  ears : and  the  men 
were  sore  afraid. 

9 Then  A-bim-e-lech  called  A-bra- 
ham,  and  said  unto  him,  What 
hast  thou  done  unto  us '?  and  what 
have  I offended  thee,  "that  thou 
hast  brought  on  me  and  on  my 
kingdom  a great  sinl  thou  hast 
done  deeds  unto  me  ‘'that  ought 
not  to  be  done. 

10  And  A-bim-6-lgch  said  unto 
A-bra-ham,  What  sawest  thou,  that 
thou  hast  done  this  thing  % 

11  And  A-bra-ham  said.  Because 
I thought,  Surely " the  fear  of  God 
is  not  in  this  place ; and  ■’'they  will 
slay  me  for  my  wife’s  sake. 

12  And  yet  indeed  ^ she  is  my 
sister;  she  is  the  daughter  of  my 
father,  but  not  the  daughter  of  my 
mother  • and  she  became  my  wife. 

I 13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  ‘ God 


Birth  of  Isaac. GENESIS,  21  flagar  and  the  angel. 


caused  me  to  wander  from  my  fa- 

ther’s house,  that  I said  unto  her, 
This  is  thy  kindness  which  thou 
shalt  shew  unto  me ; at  every  place 
whither  we  shall  come,  * say  of  me, 
He  is  my  brother. 

14  And  A-bim-e-leeh  ‘*took  sheep, 
and  oxen,  and  menservants,  and 
womenservants,  and  gave  them 
unto  A-bra-ham,  and  restored  him 
Sa-rah  his  wife. 

15  And  A-bim-e-leeh  said.  Be- 
hold, ® my  land  is  before  thee : 
dwell  ^ where  it  pleaseth  thee. 

16  And  unto  Sa-rah  he  said.  Be- 
hold, I have  given  ^thy  brother  a 
thousand  pieces  of  silver  : * behold, 
he  is  to  thee  *a  covering  of.  the 
eyes,  unto  all  that  are  with  thee, 
and  with  all  other:  thus  she  was 
reproved.  _ 

17  H So  A-bra-ham  Sprayed  unto 
God:  and  God  healed  A-bim-e-leeh, 
and  his  wife,  and  his  maidservants; 
and  they  bare  children. 

18  For  the  Lord  ”had  fast  closed 
up  all  the  wombs  of  the  house  of 
A-bim-e-leeh,  because  of  Sa-rah 
A-bra-ham’s  wife.

AND  the  Lord  ° visited  Sa-rah  as 
Xa.  he  had  said,  and  the  Lord  did 
unto  Sa-rah  ^as  he  had  spoken. 

_2  For  Sa-rah  ’’conceived,  and  bare 
A-bra-ham  a son  in  his  old  age,  *at 
the  set  time  of  which  God  had 
spoken  to  him. 

3 And  A-bra-ham  called  the  name 
of  his  son  tliat  was  born  unto  him, 
whom  Sa-rah  bare  to  him,  H-saae. 

4 A.nd  A-bra-ham  ’'circumcised  his 
son  I-saae  being  eight  days  old,  ^as 
God  had  commanded  him. 

5 And  “ A-bra-ham  was  an  hun- 
dred years  old,  when  his  son  I-saae 
was  born  unto  him. 

6 ^ And  Sa-rah  said,  God  hath 
made  me  to  laugh,  so  that  all  that 
hear  *will  laugh  v/ith  me. 

7^  And  she_  said,  Who  would  have 
said  unto  A-bra-ham,  that  Sa-rah 
should  have  given  children  suck? 
^’for  I have  born  him  a son  in  his 
old  age. 

8 And  the  child  grew,  and  was 
weaned : and  A-bra-ham  made  a 
great  feast  the  same  day  that 
I-saae  was  weaned.

and  her  son:  for  the  son  of  this 
bondwoman  shall  not  be  heir  with 
my  son,  even  with  I-saae. 

1 1 And  the  thing  was  very  griev- 
ous in  A-bra-ham’s  sight  ‘'because 
of  his  son. 

12  U And  God  said  unto  A-bra- 
ham,  Let  it  not  be  grievous  in  thy 
sight  because  of  the  lad,  and  be- 
cause of  thy  bondwoman  ; in  all 
that  Sa-rah  hath  said  unto  thee,

I-saae  shall  thy  seed  be  called. 

13  And  also  of  the  son  of  the 
bondwoman  will  I make  ^a  nation, 
because  he_7s  thy  seed. 

14  And  A-bra-ham  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  took  bread, 
and  a bottle  of  water,  and  gave 
it  unto  Ha%ar,  putting  it  on  ber 
shoulder,  and  the  child,  and  ’"sent 
her  away:  and  she  departed,  and 
wandered  in  the  wilderness  of  Be- 
er-she-ba. 

15  And  the  water  was  spent  in 
the  bottle,  and  she  cast  the  child 
under  one  of  the  shrubs. 

16  And  she  went,  and  sat  her 
down  oyer  against  him  a good  way 
off,  as  it  were  a bowshot : for  she 
said.  Let  me  not  see  the  death  of 
the  child.  A-nd  she  sat  over  against 
him,  and  lift  up  her  voice,  and 
wept. 

17  And  ^God  heard  the  voice  of 
the  lad ; and  the  angel  of  God 
called  to  Ha-gar  out  of  heaven,  and 
said  unto  her,  What  aileth  thee, 
Ha%ar  ? fear_  not ; for  God  hath 
heard  the  voice  of  the  lad  where 
he  is. 

18  Arise,  lift  up  the  lad,  and  hold 
him  in  thine  hand ; for  “ 1 will 
make  him  a great  nation. 

19  And  ^ God  opened  her  eyes,  and 
she  saw  a well  of  water ; and  she 
went,  and  filled  the  bottle  with 
water,  and  gave  the  lad  drink. 

20  And  God  * was  with  the  lad ; 
and  he  grew,  and  dwelt  in  the  wil- 
derness, ‘*and  became  an  archer. 

21  And  he  dwelt  in  the  wilderness 
of  Pa-ran : and  his  mother  ^ took 
him  a wife  out  of  the  land  of

time,  that  '’A-bim-e-l6ch  and  Phi-

24  And  A- bra-ham  said,  I will 
swear. 

25  And  A-bra-ham  reproved  A- 
bim-e-leeh  because  of  a well  of 
water,  which  A-bim-e-leeh’s  serv- 
ants *had  violently  taken  away. 

26  And  A-bim-e-leeh  said,  I wot 
not  who  hath  done  this  thing : 
neither  didst  thou  tell  me,  neither 
yet  heard  I of  it,  but  to  day. 

27  And  A-bra-ham  took  sheep 
and  oxen,  and  gave  theni  unto 
A-bim-e-leeh ; and  both  of  them 
°made  a covenant. 

28  And  A-brAham  set  seven  ewe 
lambs  of  the  flock  by  themselves. 

29  And  A-bim-e-leeh  said  unto 
A-bra-ham,  ‘^What  mean  these  seven 
ewe  lambs  which  thou  hast  set  by 
themselves  ? 

30  And  he  said.  For  these  seven 
ewe  lambs  shalt  thou  take  of  my 
hand,  that  ®they  may  be  a witness 
unto  me,  that  I have  digged  this 
well. 

31  Wherefore  he  ^called  that  place 
^Be-er-she-ba ; because  there  they 
sware  both  of  them. 

32  Thus  they  made  a covenant 
at  Be-er-she-ba : then  A-bim-e-leeh 
ro.se  up,  and  Phl^hol  the  chief  cap- 
tain of  his  host,  and  they  returned 
into  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis-tines. 

33  II  And  A-brd-hdm  planted  a 
^grove  in  Be-er-she-ba,  and  'called 
there  on  the  name  of  the  Lord,  ^the 
everlasting_  God. 

34  And  A-bra-ham  sojourned  in 
the  Phi-lis-tines’  land  many  days.

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  these

to  you.  _ 

6 And  A-bra-ham  took  the  wood 
of  the  burnt  offering,  and  “laid  it 
upon  I-saae  his  son ; and  he  took 
the  fire  in  his  hand,  and  a knife; 
and  they  went  both  of  them  to- 
gether. _ 

7 And  I-saae  spake  unto  A-bra- 
ham  his  father,  and  said.  My  father: 
and  he  said,  ^Here  am  I,  my  son. 
And  he  said.  Behold  the  fire  and 
the  wood : But  where  is  the  ‘“^lamb 
for  a burnt  offering? 

8 And  A-bra-ham  said.  My  son, 
God  will  provide  himself  a lamb 
for  a burnt  offering : so  they  went 
both  of  them  together. 

9 And  they  came  to  the  place 
which  God  had  told  him  of;  and 
A;bra-ham  built  an  altar  there,  and 
laid  the  wood  in  order,  and  bound 
I-saae  his  son,  and  -^laid  him  on 
the  altar  upon  the  wood. 

10  And  A-bra-ham  stretched  forth 
his  hand,  and  took  the  knife  to  slay 
his  son. 

11  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
called  unto  him  out  of  heaven,  and 
said,  A-bra-ham,  A-bra-ham:  and 
he  said.  Here  am  I. 

12  And  he  said,  ^Lay  not  thine 
hand  upon  the  lad,  neither  do  thou 
any  thing  unto  him : for  *now  1 
know  that  thou  fearest  God,  seeing 
thou  hast  not  withheld  thy  son. 
thine  only  sort,  from  me. 

13  And  A-bra-ham  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  and  looked,  and  behold  be- 
hind a ram  caught  in  a thicket 
by  his  horns  : and  A-bra-ham  went 
and  took  the  ram,  and  offered  him 
up  for  a burnt  offering  in  the  stead 
of  his  som 

1 4 And  A-bra-ham  called  the  name 
of  that  place  ®JAho-vah-ji-reh : as 
it  is  said  to  this  day.  In  the  mount 
of  the  Lord  it  shall  be  seen. 

15  U And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
called  unto  A-bra-ham  out  of  heaven 
the  second  time, 

16  And  said,  ^By  myself  have  I 
sworn,  saith  the  Lord,  for  because 
thou  hast  done  this  thing,  and  hast 
not  withheld  thy  son,  thine  only 
son: 


‘The  death  of  Sarah.

1 9 So  A-bra-ham  returned  unto  his 
young  men,  and  they  rose  up  and 
went  together  to  *Be-er-she-ba ; and 
A-bra-ham  dwelt  at  Be-er-she-ba. 

20  U And  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  it  was  told  A-bra- 
ham,  saying.  Behold,  ®Mil-cah,  she 
hath  also  born  children  unto  thy 
brother  Na-hor; 

21  -^Huz  his  firstborn,  and  Biiz  his 
brothel*,  and  Kem-u-el  the  father 
^of  A-ram, 

22  And  -Ghe-sed,  and  Ha-z6,  and 
Pil-dash,  and  Jiddaph,  and  Be- 
thu-el. 

23  And  ^Be-thu-el  begat  *Ile-bek- 
ah  : these  eight  Mil-cah  did  bear  to 
Na-hor,  A-brAham’s  brother. 

24  And  his  concubine,  whose  name 
was  Bey-mah,  she  bare  also  Te-bah, 
and  Ga-ham,  and  Thadiash,  and 
Ma-a-chah. 

CHAPTER  23. 

1 The  ar/e  and  death  of  Sarah.  3 The  purchase  of 
Machpelah,  19  where  Sarah  was  buried. 

AND  Sa-rah  was  an  hundred  and 
seven  and  twenty  years  old : 
these  were  the  years  of  the  life  of 
Sah’ah. 

2 And  Sa-rah  died  in  "'Kir-jath- 
ar-ba ; the  same  is  ”He-br6n  in  the 
land  of  Ga-naan:  and  A-bra-ham 
came  to  mourn  for  Sa-rah,  and  to 
weep  for  her. 

3 ^ And  A-bra-ham  stood  up  from 
before  his  dead,  and  spake  unto  the 
sons  of  Heth,  saying, 

4 am  a stranger  and  a sojourner 
with  you  : «give  me  a possession  of 
a buryingplace  with  you,  that  I may 
bury  my  dead  out  of  my  sight. 

5 And  the  children  of  Heth  an- 
swered A-bra-ham,  saying  unto 
him, 

6 Hear  us,  my  lord : thou  art  ’’a 
mighty  prince  among  us : in  the 
choice  of  our  sepulchres  bury  thy 
dead  ; none  of  us  shall  withhold 
from  thee  his  sepulchre,  but  that 
thou  mayest  bury  thy  dead. 

7 And  A-bra-ham  stood  up,  and 
bowed  himself  to  the  people  of  the 
land,  even  to  the  children  of  Heth. 

8 And  he  communed  with  them, 
saying.  If  it  be  your  mind  that  I 
should  bury  my  dead  out  of  my 
sight ; hear  me,  and  intreat  for  me 
to  E-phrdn  the  son  of  Zodiar, 

9 That  he  may  give  me  the  cave 
of  Mach-pedah,  which  he^  hath 
which  is  in  the  end  of  his  field  ; for 

‘uch  money  as  it  is  worth  he 
dve  it  me  for  a possession  of 
ngplace  amongst  you.

10  And  E-phr6n  dwelt  among  the 
children  of  Heth  : and  E-phr5n  the 
Hit-tite  answered  A-brAham  in  the 
^audience  of  the  children  of  Heth, 
even  oi  all  that  ® went  in  at  the  gate 
of  his  city,  saying, 

11  ‘'Nay,  my  lord,  hear  me:  the 
field  give  I thee,  and  the  cave  that 
is  therein,  I give  it  thee;  in  the 
presence  of  the  sons  of  my  people 
give  I it  thee:  bury  thy  dead. 

12  And  A-bra-ham  bowed  down 
himself  before  the  people  of  the 
land. 

13  And  he  spake  unto  E-phrSn  in 
the  audience  of  the  people  of  the 
land,  saying.  But  if  'tldou  wilt  give 
it,  I pray  thee,  hear  me  : I will  give 
thee  money  for  the  field  : take  it  of 
me,  and  I will  bury  my  dead  there. 

14  And  E-phr5n  answered  A-bra- 
ham,  saying  unto  him, 

15  My  lord,  hearken  unto  me : the 
land  is  worth  four  hundred  * shek- 
els of  silver ; what  is  that  betwixt 
me  and  thee'?  bury  therefore  thy 
dead. 

16  And  A-bra-ham  hearkened  unto 
E-phron  ; and  A-bra-ham  ^weighed 
to  E-phr5n  the  silver,  which  he  had 
named  in  the  audience  of  the  sons 
of  Heth,  four  hundred  shek-els  of 
silver,  current  money  with  the  mer- 
chant. 

17  And  "the  field  of  E-phrfin, 
which  was  in  Ma-eh-pedah,  which 
ivas  before  Mam-re,  the  field,  and 
the  cave  which  was  therein,  and  all 
the  trees  that  ^vere  in  the  field,  that 
were  in  all  the  borders  round  about, 
were  made  sure 

18  Unto  A-bra-ham  for  a posses- 
sion in  the  presence  of  the  children 
of  Heth,  before  all  that  went  in  at 
the  gate  of  his  city. 

19  And  after  this,  A-bra-ham 
buried  Sa-rah  his  wife  in  the  cave 
of  the  field  of  Maeh-pe4ah  before 
Mam-re : the  same  is  He-br5n  in 
the  land  of  Ga-naan. 

20  And  the  field,  and  the  cave 
that  is  therein,  *were  made  sure  un- 
to A-bra-ham  for  a possession  of  a 
buryingplace  by  the  sons  of  Heth. 

CHAPTER  24. 

1 Abraham  sendeth  his  servant  to  seek  a wife  for  Isaac. 
15  Rebekah  meeteth  him.  50  Ee  obtaineth  Rebekah.  62 
Isaac  meeteth  her. 

AND  A-bra-ham  *was  old,  and 
^well  stricken  in  age:  and  the 
Loep  “had  blessed  A-bra-ham  in  all 

things.  _ 11- 

2 And  A-bra-ham  said  *unto  his 
eldest  servant  of  his  house,  that 
^ruled  over  all  that  he  had,  ^Put, 
I pray  thee,  thy  hand  under  my 
thigh : 


Abraham's  servant  sent 

3 And  I will  make  thee  “swear  by 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  heaven,  and 
the  God  of  the  earth,  that  nhou 
shalt  not  take  a wife  unto  my  son 
of  the  daughters  of  the  -Ga-naan- 
Ites,  among  whom  I dwell : 

' 4 ‘'But  thou  shalt  go  -'unto  my 
country,  and  to  my  kindred,  and 
take  a wife  unto  my  son  I-saae. 

5 And  the  servant  said  unto  him, 
Perad  venture  the  woman  will  not 
be  willing  to  follow  me  unto  this 
land  : must  I needs  bring  thy  son 
again  unto  the  land  from  whence 
thou  earnest'? 

6 And  A-bra-ham  said  unto  him. 
Beware  thou  that  thou  bring  not 
my  son  thither  again. 

7 H The  Lord  God  of  heaven, 
which  '‘took  me  from  my  father’s 
house,  and  from  the  land  of  my 
kindred,  and  which  spake  unto  me, 
and  that  sware  unto  me,  saying, 
* Unto  thy  seed  will  I give  this  land ; 
''he  shall  send  his  angel  before  thee, 
and  thou  shalt  take  a wife  unto  my 
son  from  thence. 

8 And  if  the  woman  will  not  be 
willing  to  follow  thee,  then  "“thou 
shalt  be  clear  from  this  my  oath : 
only  bring  not  my  son  thither  again. 

9 And  the  servant  put  his  hand 
under  the  thigh  of  A-bra-ham  his 
master,  and  sware  to  him  concern- 
ing that  matter. 

10  H And  the  servant  took  ten 
camels  of  the  camels  of  his  master, 
and  departed  ; “for^all  the  goods  of 
his  master  were  in  his  hand : and 
he  arose,  and  went  to  M6s-C-p6- 
ta-mi-a,  unto  ®the  city  of  Na-hor. 

11  And  he  made  his  camels  to 
kneel  down  without  the  city  by  a 
well  of  water  at  the  time  of  the 
evening,  even  the  time  "'that^  wo- 
men go  out  to  draw  water. 

12  And  he  said,  ‘O  Lord  God  of 
my  master  A-bra-ham,  I pray  thee, 
"'send  me  good  speed  this  day,  ana 
shew  kindness  unto  my  master 
A-braham. 

13  Behold,  stand  here  by  the 
well  of  water ; and  “the  daughters 
of  the  men  of  the  city  come  out  to 
draw  water : ^ 

14  And  let  it  come  to  pass,  that 
the  damsel  to  whom  I shall  say.  Let 
down  thv  pitcher,  I pray  thee,  that 
I may  drink ; and  she  shall  say. 
Drink,  and  I will  give  thy  camels 
drink  also : let  the  same  be  she  that 
thou  hast  appointed  for  thy  serv- 
ant I-saae  ; and  ‘'thereby  shall  I 
know  that  thou  hast  shewed  kind- 
ness unto  my  master. 

15  H And  it  came  to  pass,  before 
he  had  done  speaking,  that,  behold. 


to  seeh  a wife  for  Isaac. 

Be-bek-ah  came  out.  who  was  born 

to  Be-thu-el,  son  or  '’Mll-cah,  the 
wife  of  Na-hor,  A-bra-ham’s  brother, 
with  her  pitcher  upon  her  shoulder. 

16  And  the  damsel  fwas  Very  fair 
to  look  upon,  a virgin,  neither  had 
any  man  known  her : and  she  went 
down  to  the  well,  and  filled  her 
pitcher,  and  came  up. 

17  And  the  servant  ran  to  meet 
her,  and  said,  Let  me,  I pray  thee, 
drink  a little  water  of  thy  pitcher. 

18  ''And  she  said.  Drink,  my  lord: 
and  she  hasted,  and  let  down  her 
pitcher  upon  her  hand,  and  gave 
him  drink. 

1 9 And  when  she  had  done  giving 
him  drink,  she  said,  I will  draw 
ivater  for  thy  camels  also,  until  they 
have  done  drinking. 

20  And  she  hasted,  and  emptied 
her  pitcher  into  the  trough,  and 
ran  again  unto  the  well  to  draw 
tvater,  and  drew  for  all  his  camels. 

21  And  the  man  wondering  at  her 
held  his  peace,  to  wit  whether  'the 
Lord  had  made  his  journey  pros- 
perous or  not. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the 
camels  had  done  drinking,  that  the 
man  took  a golden  “earring^  of  half 
a shek-el  weight,  and  two  bracelets 
for  her  hands  of  ten  shek’-Us  weight 
of  gold ; 

23  And  said.  Whose  daughter  art 
thou  % tell  me,  I pray  thee  : is  there 
room  in  thy  father’s  house  for  us 
to  lodge  in'? 

24  And  she  said  unto  him,  am 
the  daughter  of  Be-thu-el  the  son 
of  Mil-cah,  which  she  bare  unto 
Na-hor. 

25  She  said  moreover  unto  him. 
We  have  both  straw  and  pro  vender 
enough,  and  room  to  lodge  in. 

26  And  the  man  * bowed  down  his 
head,  and  worshipped  the  Lord. 

27  And  he  said,  “Blessed  he  the 
Lord  God  of  my  master  A-bra- 
ham,  who  hath  not  left  destitute 
my  master  of  ^his  mercy  and  his 
truth : I being  in  the  way,  the 
Lord  ''led  me  to  the  house  of  my 
master’s  brethren. 

28  And  the  damsel  ran,  and  told 
them  of  her  mother’s  house  these 
things. 

29  ^ And  Be-bSk-ah  had  a brO’ 
ther,  and  his  name  was  ‘‘La-ban  5 
and  La-ban  ran  out  unto  the  man, 
unto  the  well. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
saw  the  carring  and  bracelets  upon 
his  sister’s  hands,  and  when  he 
heard  the  words  of  BAb6k-ah  his 
sister,  saying.  Thus  spake  the  man

camels  at  the  well. 

31  And  he  said.  Come  in,  “thou 
blessed  of  the  Lord  ; wherefore 
standest  thou  without?  for  I have 
prepared  the  house,  and  room  for 
the  camels. 

32  U And  the  man  came  into  the 
house  : and  he  ungirded  his  camels, 
and  * gave  straw  and  provender  for 
the  camels,  and  water  to  wash  his 
feet,  and  the  men’s  feet  that  were 
with  him. 

33  And  there  was  set  meat  before 
him  to  eat : but  he  said,  fl  will  not 
eat,  until  I have  told  mine  errand. 
And  he  said.  Speak  on._ 

34  And  he  said,  I am  A-bra-ham’s 
servant. 

35  And  the  Lord  -^hath  blessed 
my  master  greatly ; and  he  is  be- 
come great : and  he  hath  given  him 
flocks,  and  herds,  and  silver,  and 
gold,  and  menservants,  and  maid-

36  And  Sa-rah  my  master’s  wife 
*bare  a son  to  my  master  when  she 
was  old : and  *unto  him  hath  he 
given  all  that  he  hath. 

37  And  my  master  ^made  me 
swear,  saying.  Thou  shalt  not  take 
a wife  to  my  son  of  the  daughters 
of  the  -Ca-naan-ites,  in  whose  land 
I dwell : 

38  ^But  thou  shalt  go  unto  mv 
father’s  house,  and  to  my  kindred, 
and  take  a wife  unto  my  son. 

39  «And  I said  unto  my  master, 
Peradventure  the  woman  will  not 
follow  me. 

40  *And  he  said  unto  me.  The 
Lord,  * before  whom  I walk,  will 
send  his  angel  with  thee,  and  pros-

this  my  oath,  when  thou  comest  to 
my  kindred ; and  if  they  give  not 
thee  one,  thou  shalt  be  clear  from 
my  oath. 

42  And  I came  this  day  unto  the 
well,  and  said,  “O  Lord  God  of  my 
master  A-bra-ham,  if  now  thou  do 
prosper  my  way  which  I go :

ing  in  mine  heart,  behold,  Re-bek- 
ah  came  forth  with  her  pitcher  on 
her  shoulder;  and  she  went  down 
unto  the  well,  and  drew  water: 
and  I said  unto  her,  Let  me  drink, 

I pray  thee. 

46  And  she  made  haste,  and  let 
down  her  pitcher  from  her  shoulder, 
and  said,  prink,  and  I will  give  thy 
camels  drink  also  : so  I drank,  and 
she  made  the  camels  drink  also. 

47  And  I asked  her,  and  said. 
Whose  daughter  art  thou?  And 
she  said.  The  daughter  of  Be-thu-el, 
Na-hor’s  son,  whom  Mil-cah  bare 
unto  him : and  I ‘^put  the  earring 
upon  her  face,  and  the  bracelets 
upon  her  hands. 

48  ®And  I bowed  down  my  head, 
and  worshipped  the  Lord,  and 
blessed  the  Lord  God  of  my  master 
A-bra-ham,  which  had  led  me  in 
the  right  way  to  take  ^'my  master’s 
brother’s  daughter  unto  his  son. 

49  And  now  if  ye  will  ^deal  kindly 
and  truly  v/ith  my  master,  tell  me  : 
and  if  not,  tell  me ; that  I may 
turn  to  the  right  hand,  or  to  the 
left. 

50  Then  La-ban  and  Bg-thu-el  an- 
swered and  said,  ’"The  thing  pro- 
ceedeth  from  the  Lord  : we  cannot 
"speak  unto  thee  bad  or  good. 

51  Behold,  Be-bek-ah  °is  before 
thee,  take  her,  and  go,  and  let  her 
be  thy  master’s  son’s  wife,  as  the 
Lord  hath  spoken. 

52  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
A-bra-harn’s  servant  heard  their 
words,  he  "worshipped  the  Lord, 
bowing  himself  to  the  earth. 

53  And  the  servant  brought  forth 
“jewels^  of  silver,  and  jewels  of 
gold,  and  raiment,  and  gave  them 
to  Re-bek-ah : he  gave  also  to  her 
brother  and  to  her  mother  pre- 
cious things. 

54  And  they  did  eat  and  drink,  he 
and  the  men  that  were  with  him, 
and  tarried  all  night ; and  they  rose 
up  in  the  morning,  and  he  said, 
^Send  me  away  unto  my  master. 

55  And  her  brother  and  her  mo- 
ther said.  Let  the  damsel  abide 
with  us  few  days,  at  the  least 
ten ; after  that  she  shall  go.  ^ 

56  And  he  said  unto  them.  Hinder 
me  not,  seeing  the  Lord  hath  pros- 
pered my  way ; send  me  away  that 
I may  go  to  my  master. 

57  And  they  said.  We  will  call 
the  damsel,  and  4'nquire  at  her

58  And  they  called  Re-bek-ah,  and 
said  unto  her.  Wilt  thou  go  with 
this  man?  And  she  said,  I will  go. 

59  And  they  sent  away  Re-bek-ah

A'bra-ham’s  servant,  and  his  men. 

60  And  they  blessed  EAbek-ah, 
and  said  unto  her.  Thou  art  our 
sister,  be  thou  ’^the  mother  of  thou- 
sands of  millions,  and  ‘^let  thy  seed 
possess  the  gate  of  those  which  hate 
theni. 

6 1 U And  Rg-bek-ah  arose,  and  her 
damsels,  and  they  rode  upon  the 
camels,  and  followed  the  man  : and 
the  servant  took  Rg-bek-ah,  and 
went  his  way. 

62  And  I-saae  came  from  the  way 
of  the  *well  La-hai'-roi  ; for  he 
dwelt  in  the  south  country. 

63  And  I-saae  went  out  *to^  medi- 
tate in  the  field  at  the  eventide: 
and  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
saw,  and,  behold,  the  camels  were 
coming. 

64  And  Rg-bek-ah  lifted  up  her 
eyes,  and  when  she  saw  I-saac, 
”she  lighted  off  the  camel. 

65  For  she  Aae?  said  unto  the  serv- 
ant, What  man  is  this  that  walketh 
in  the  field  to  meet  os'?  And  the 
,servant  had  said.  It  is  my  master : 
therefore  she  took  a vail,  and  cov- 
ered herself. 

66  And  the  servant  told  I-saac  all 
things  that  he  had  done. 

67  And  1-saac  brought  her  into 
his  mother  Sa-rah’s  tent,  and  took 
Rg-bgk-ah,  and  she  became  his 
wife ; and  he  loved  her  : and  I^aac

24  U And  when  her  days  to  be  de-

luere  twins  in  her  womb. 

25  And  the  first  came  out  red,  *all

they  called  his  name  E-sau.

out,  and  '‘his  hand  took  hold  on 
E-sau’s  heel ; and  * his  name  was 
called  Ja-€ob:  and  I'saae  was  three-

27  And  the  boys  grew  : and  E-sau 
was  'a  cunning  hunter,  a man  of 
the  field ; and  Ja-cob  was  "‘a  plain 
man,  ’‘dwelling  in  tents. 

28  And  I-saac  loved  E-sau,  because

E-sau  came  from  the  held,  and  be 
was  faint:

■^at  the  point  to  die  : and  what  pro- 
fit shall  this  birthright  do  to  me  1 

33  And  Ja-cOb  said.  Swear  to  me 

this  day ; and  he  sware  unto  him  :

5 ‘'Because  that  A-bra-ham  obeyed 
my  voice,  and  kept  my  charge,  my 
commandments,  my  statutes,  and 
my  laws.  _ 

6 U And  I-saac  dwelt  in  Ge-rar : 

7 And  the  men  of  the  place  asked 
him  of  his  wife ; and  -^he  said.  She 
is  my  sister:  for  ^he  feared  to  say. 
She  is  my  wife ; lest,  said  he,  the 
men  of  the  place  should  kill  me  for 
Re-bek-ah ; because  she  ^was  fair  to 
look  upon. 

8 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
had  been  there  a long  time,  that 
A-bim-e-lech  king  of  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  looked  out  at  a window,  and 
saw,’  and,  behold,  I-saac  was  sport- 
ing with  Re-bek-ah  his  wife.  _ 

9 And  A-bim-e-lech  called  I-saac, 
and  said.  Behold,  of  a surety  she  is 
thy  wife  : and  how  saidst  thou.  She 

my  sister  1 And  I-saac  said  unto 
him,  Because  I said.  Lest  I die  for 

llGl’* 

10  And  A-bim-e-lech  said.  What  is 
this  thou  hast  done  unto  us  1 one  of 
the  people  might  lightly  have  lien 
with  thy  wife,  and  «thou  shouldest 
have  brought  guiltiness  upon  us. 

11  And  A-bim-e-lech  charged  all 
his  people,  saying.  He  that  ‘ touch- 
eth  this  man  or  his  wife  shall  surely 
be  put  to  death. 

1 2 Then  I-saac  sowed  in  that  land, 
and  ^received  in  the  same  year  'an 
hundredfold : and  the  Lord  “blessed 
him. 

1 3 And  the  man  waxed  great,  and 
®went  forward,  and  grew  until  he 
became  very  great: 

14  For  he  had  possession  of  flocks, 
and  possession  of  herds,  and  great 
store  of  ''servants:  and  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  ^envied  him. 

15  For  all  the  wells  “which  his 
father’s  servants  had  digged  in  the 
days  of  A-bra-ham  his  father,  the 
Phi-lisAines  had  stopped  them,  and 
filled  them  with  earth. 

16  And  A-bim-e-lech  said  unto 
I-saac,  Go  from  us;  for  ‘'thou  art 
much  mightier  than  we. 

17  ^ And  I-saac  departed  thence, 
and_  pitched  bis  tent  in  the  valley 
of  Ge-rar,  and  dwelt  there. 

18  And  I-saac  digged  again  the 
wells  of  water,  which  they  had

in  the  valley,  and  found  there  a 
well  of  ^springing  water. 

20  And  the  herdmen  of  Geh'ar 
“did  strive  with  I-saae’s  herdmen, 
saying.  The  water  is  our’s : and  he 
called  the  name  of  the  well  ^E-sek  ; 
because  they  strove  with  him. 

21  And  they  digged  another  well, 
and  strove  for  that  also  and  he 
called  the  name  of  it  ^Sit-nah. 

22  And  he  removed  from  thence, 
and  digged  another  well ; and  for 
that  they  strove  not : and  he  called 
the  name  of  it  ®Re-ho-b5th  ; and  he 
said.  For  now  the  Lord  hath  made 
room  for  us,  and  we  shall  ‘^be  fruit- 
ful in  the  land. 

23  And  he  went  up  from  thence  to 
Be-er-she-ba. 

24  And  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
him  the  same  night,  and  said,  am 
the  God  of  A-bra-ham  thy  father : 
'‘fear  not,  for  ‘1  am- with  thee,  and 
will  bless  thee,  and  multiply  thj/ 
seed  for  my  servant  A-bra-ham’s 
sake. 

25  And  he  ^builded  an  altar  there, 
and  "“called  upon  the  name  of  the 
Lord,  and  pitched  his  tent  there : 
and  there  I-saac’s  servants  digged 
a well. 

26  if  Then  A-bim-g-leeh  went  to 
him  from  Ge^rar,  and  A-huz-zath 
one  of  his  friends,  ”and  Phi-ehol 
the  chief  captain  of  his  army. 

27  And  I-saae  said  unto  them, 
Wherefore  come  ye  to  me,  seeing 
"ye  hate  me,  and  have  ^sent  me 
away  from  you'? 

28  And  they  said,  ''We  saw  cer- 
tainly that  the  Lord  «was  with 
thee : and  we  said.  Let  there  be 
now  an  oath  betwixt  us,  even  be- 
twixt us  and  thee,  and  let  us  make 
a covenant  with  thee  ; 

29  “That  thou  wilt  do  us  no  hurt, 
as  we  have  not  touched  thee,  and 
as  we  have  done  unto  thee  nothing 
but  good,  and  have  sent  thee  away 
in  peace : *thou  art  now  the  blessed 
of  the  Lord. 

30  And  he  made  them  a feast,  and 
they  did  eat  and  drink. 

3 1 And  they  rose  up  betimes  in  the 
morning,  and  'sware  one  to  another : 
and  I-.saac  sent  them  away,  and  they 
departed  from  him  in  peace. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass  the  same 
day,  that  l-saa«’s  servants  came, 
and  told  him  concerning  the  well 
which  they  had  digged,  and  said 
unto  him.  We  have  found  water. 

33  And  he  called  it  ®She-bah: 
‘'therefore  the  name  of  the  city  is 
'Be-er-she-ba  unto  this  day.

Esau  sent  for  venison, 

the  daughter  of  BAe-ri  the  Hit-tite, 
and  Bash-e-math  the  daughter  of 
Edon  the  Hit-tite: 

35  Which  ''were  ‘“'a  grief  of  mind 
unto  1-saae  and  to  BAbek-ah. 

CHAPTER  27. 

1 Isaae  sendeth  Esau  for  venison.  6 Rebekah  instrucieth 
Jacob  to  obtain  the  blessing.  15  Jacob  under  the  person 
of  Esau  obtaincth  it.  30  Esau  bringeth  venison.  33 
Isaac  trembleth.  34  Esau  complaineth,  and  obtaineth 
a blessing.  41  He  threateneth  Jacob.  42  Rebekah  dis- 
appointeth  it. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
J\.  I-saae  was  old,  and  "his  eyes 
were  dim,  so  _that  he  could  not 
see,  he  called  E-sau  his  eldest  son, 
and  said  unto  him.  My  son : and  he 
said  unto  him.  Behold,  here  am  I. 

2 And  he  said.  Behold  now,  I am 
old,  I "know  not  the  day  of  my 
death : 

3 ^Now  therefore  take,  I pray  thee, 
thy  weapons,  thy  quiver  and  thy 
bow,  and  go  out  to  the  field,  and 
“ take  me  some  venison  ; 

4 And  make  me  savoury  meat, 
such  as  I love,  and  bring  it  to  me, 
that  I may  eaC,  that  my  soul  'may 
bless  thee  before  I die. 

5 And  RAbek-ah  heard  when 
I -saae  spake  to  E-sau  his  son.  And 
E-sau  went  to  the  field  to  hunt  for 
venison,  and  to  bring  it. 

6 H And  Rg-bek-ah  spake  unto  J a-- 
e5b  her  son,  saying.  Behold,  I heard 
thy  father  speak  unto  E-sau  thy 
brother,  saying,  ^ 

7 Bring  me  venison,  and  make  me 
savoury  meat,  that  I may  eat,  and 
bless  thee  before  the  Lord  before 
my  death. 

8 Now  therefore,  my  son,  "'obey 
my  voice  according  to  that  which 
I command  thee. 

9 Go  now  to  the  flock,  and  fetch 
me  from  thence  two  good  kids  of 
the  goats ; and  I will  make  them 
* savoury  meat  for  thy  father,  such 
as  he  loveth: 

10  And  thou  shalt  bring  it  to  thy 
father,  that  he  may  eat,  and  that  he 
“may  bless  thee  before  his  deatli. 

11  And  Ja-edb  said  to  RAbek-ah 
his  mother.  Behold,  E-sau  my  bro- 
ther is  a hairy  man,  and  I am  a 
smooth  man: 

12  My  father  perad venture  will 
“feel  me,  and  I shall  seem  to  him 
as  a deceiver;  and  I shall  bring  ''a 
curse  upon  me,  and  not  a blessing. 

13  And  his  mother  said  unto  him, 
"Upon  me  he  thy  curse,  my  son: 
only  obey  my  voice,  and  go  fetch 
me  them. 

14  And  he  went,  and  fetched,  and 
brought  them  to  his  mother : and 
his  mother  •''made  savoury  meat, 
such  as  his  father  loved. 


Jacob  obtaineth 


GENESIS,  27. 


his  father^ s blessing. 


15  And  RAbek-ah  took  “goodly^ 
raiment  of  her  eldest  son  E-sau, 
which  were  with  her  in  the  house, 
and  put  them  upon  Ja-e5b  her 
younger  son: 

16  And  she  put  the  skins  of  the 
kids  of  the  goats  upon  his  hands, 
and  upon  the  smooth  of  his  neck: 

1 7 And  she  gave  the  savoury  meat 
and  the  bread,  which  she  had  pre- 
pared, into  the  hand  of  her  son 
Ja^sb. 

18  H And  he  came  unto  his  fa- 
ther, and  said.  My  father:  and  he 
said,  Here  ain  I ; who  art  thou, 
my  son'? 

1 9 And  Ja-c6b  said  unto  his  father, 
I am  E-sau  thy  firstborn ; I have 
done  according  as  thou  badest  me : 
arise,  I pray  thee,  sit  and  eat  of  my 
venison,  that  thy  soul  may  bless  me. 

20  And  I-saae  said  unto  his  son. 
How  is  it  that  thou  hast  found  it 
so  quickly,  my  soni  And  he  said. 
Because  the  Loud  thy  God  brought 
it  ^to  me.  _ 

21  And  I-saae  said  unto  Ja-obb, 
Come  near,  I pray  thee,  that  I -^may 
feel  thee,  my  son,  whether  thou  be 
my  very  son  E-sau  or  not. 

22  And  Ja-cob  went  near  unto 
I-saac  his  father;  and  he  felt  him, 
and  said.  The  voice  is  Ja-cbb’s  voice, 
but  the  hands  are  the  hands  of 
E-sau. 

23  And  he  discerned  him  not,  be- 
cause *his  hands  were  hairy,  as  his 
brother  E-sau’s  hands : so  he  blessed 
him. 

24  And  he  said.  Art  thou  my  very 
son  E-sau  1 And  he  said,  I am. 

25  And  he  said.  Bring  it  near  to 
me,  and  I will  eat  of  my  son’s  veni- 
son, ’^that  my  soul  may  bless  thee. 
And  he  brought  it  near  to  him,  and 
he  did  eat : and  he  brought  him 
wine,  and  he  drank. 

26  And  his  father  I^aae  said  unto 
him,  Come  near  now,  and  kiss  me, 
my  son. 

27  And  he  came  near,  and  kissed 
him:  and  he  smelled  the  smell  of 
his  raiment,  and  blessed  him,  and 
said.  See,  ^the  smell  of  my  son  is  as 
the  smell  of  a field  which  the  Lord 
hath  blessed : 

28  Therefore  ’’God  give  thee  of 
Hhe  dew  of  heaven,  and  “the  fat- 
ness of  the  earth,  and  ""plenty  of 
corn  and  wine : 

29  ^'Let  people  serve  thee,  and  na- 
tions bow  down  to  thee : be  lord 
over  thy  brethren,  and  “let  thy 
mother’s  sons  bow  down  to  thee : 
® cursed  be  every  one  that  curseth 
thee,  and  blessed  be  he  that  bless- 
eth  thee.

30  U And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  I-saac  had  made  an  end  of  bless- 
ing Ja-cOb,  and  Ja-csb  was  yet 
scarce  gone  out  from  the  presence 
of  I-saac  his  father,  that  E-sau  his 
brother  came  in  from  his  hunting. 

31  And  he  also  had  made  sa- 
voury meat,  and  brought  it  unto 
his  father,  and  said  unto  his  fa- 
ther, Let  my  father  arise,  and  *eat 
of  his  son’s  venison,  that  thy  soul 
may  bless  me. 

32  And  I-saac  his  father  said  unto 
him.  Who  art  thou '?  And  he  said, 
I am  thy  son,  thy  firstborn  E-sau. 

33  And  I-saac  ^trembled  very  ex- 
ceedingly, and  said.  Who?  where 
is  he  that  hath  ^ taken  venison,  and 
brought  it  me,  and  I have  eaten  of 
all  before  thou  earnest,  and  have 
blessed  him?  yea,  ^ancl  he  shall  be 
blessed. 

34  And  when  E-sau  heard  tho 
words  of  his  father, /he  cried  with 
a great  and  exceeding  bitter  cry, 
and  said  unto  his  father.  Bless  me, 
even  me  also,  O my  father. 

35  And  he  said.  Thy  brother  came 
with  subtilty,  and  hath  taken  away 
thy  blessing. 

36  And  he  said,  ^Is  not  he  rightly 
named  ®Ja-c5b?  for  he  hath  sup- 
planted me  these  two  times : ^ he 
took  away  my  birthright;  and,  be- 
hold, now  he  hath  taken  away  my 
blessing.  And  he  said.  Hast  thou 
not  reserved  a blessing  for  me?  ^ 

37  And  I-saac  answered  and  said 
unto  E-sau,  * Behold,  I have  made 
him  thy  lord,  and  all  his  brethren 
have  I given  to  him  for  servants; 
and  ^with  corn  and  wine  have  I 
® sustained  him : and  what  shall  I 
do  now  unto  thee,  my  son? 

38  And  E-sau  said  unto  his  father. 
Hast  thou  but  one  blessing,  my 
father  ? bless  me,  even  me  also,  0 
my  father.  And  E-sau  lifted  up 
his  voice,  “and  wept. 

39  And  I-saac  his  father  answered 
and  said  unto  him.  Behold,  “thy 
dwelling  shall  be  ’the  fatness  of  the 
earth,  and  of  the  dew  of  heaven 
from  above ; 

40  And  by  thy  sword  shalt  thou 
live,  and  ^shalt  serve  thy  brother; 
and  Tt  shall  come  to  pass  when 
thou  shalt  have  the  dominion,  that 
thou  shalt  break  his  yoke  from  off 
thy  neck. 

41  U And  E-sau  ®hated  Ja-c6b  be- 
cause of  the  blessing  wherewith 
his  father  blessed  him : and  E-sau 
said  in  his  heart,  *The  days  of 
mourning  for  my  father  are  at

ther J a-c5b.

42  And  these  words  of  E-sau  her 
elder  son  were  told  to  Re-bek-ah: 
and  she  sent  and  called  J a-cOb  her 
younger  son,  and  said  unto  him,  Be- 
hold, thy  brother  E-sau,  as  touch- 
ing thee,  doth  ^comfort  himself, 
purposing  to  kill  thee. 

43  Now  therefore,  my  son,  obey 
my  voice ; and  arise,  flee  thou  to 
La-ban  my  brother  ‘^to  Ha-ran ; 

44  And  tarry  with  him  a few

away ;

which  thou  hast  done  to  him : then 
I will  send,  and  fetch  thee  from 
thence : why  should  I be  deprived 
also  of  you  both  in  one  day  1 

46  And  Re-bek-ah  said  to  I-saac,

AND  I-saac  called  Ja-cbb,  and 
^blessed  him,  and  charged  him, 
and  said  unto  him,  ®Thou  shalt

of  -Ga-naan.

5 And  I-saac  sent  away  Ja-cbb:

daughters  of  Ga-naan  ^pleased  not 
I-saac  his  father ; 

9 Then  went  E^au  unto  Ish-ma-el, 
and  took  unto  the  wives  which  he 
had  ‘*Ma-ha-lath  the  daughter  of 
Ish-ma-el  A-bra-ham’s  son,  the  sis- 
ter of  NAba-.i5th,  to  be  his  wife. 

10  11  And  Ja-cob  went  out  from 
Be-er-she-ba,  and  v/ent  toward  ‘'Ha- 
ran. 

1 1 And  he  lighted  upon  a certain 

Elace,  and  tarried  there  all  night, 
ecause  the  sun  was  set;  and  he 
took  of  the  stones  of  that  place, 
and  put  them  for  his  pillows,  and 
lay  down  in  that  place  to  sleep. 

12  And  he  ^dreamed,  and  behold  a 
ladder  set  up  on  the  earth,  and  the 
top  of  it  reached  to  heaven : and 
behold  •'^the  angels  of  God  ascend- 
ing and  descending  on  it. 

13  ‘And,  behold,  the  Lord  stood 
above  it,  and  said,  '^I  am  the  Lord 
God  of  A-bra-ham  thy  father,  and 
the  God  of  I^aac : 'the  land  where- 
on thou  liest,  to  thee  will  I give  it, 
and  to  thy  seed ; 

14  And  ”‘thy  seed  shall  be  as  the 
dust  of  the  earth,  and  thou  shalt 
^spread  abroad  ‘‘to  the  west,  and  to 
the  east,  and  to  the  north,  and  to 
the  south  : and  in  thee  and  “in  thy 
seed  shall  all  the  families  of  the 
earth  be  blessed. 

15  And,  behold,  ‘‘I  arn  with  thee, 
and  will  *keep  thee  in  all  places 
whither  thou  goest,  and  will  ''Bring 
thee  again  into  this  land ; for  H 
will  not  leave  thee,  “until  I have 
done  that  which  I have  spoken  to 
thee  of. 

16  II  And  Ja-c5b  awaked  out  of  his 
sleep,  and  he  said.  Surely  the  Lord 
is  in  ‘'this  place  ; and  I knew  it  not. 

17  And  he  was  afraid,  and  said.. 
How  dreadful  is  tliis  place ! this  it' 
none  other  but  the  house  of  God, 
and  this  is  the  gate  of  heaven. 

18  And  Ja-cOb  rose  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  took  the  stone  that  he 
had  put  for  his  pillows,  and/set  it 
up  for  a pillar,  '‘and  poured  oil  upon 
the  top  of  it. 

1 9  And  he  called  the  name  of  ‘that 
place  ^ Beth -el:  but  the  name  of  that 
city  was  called  Luz  at  the  first. 

20  ^And  J a-c6b  vowed  a vow,  say 
ing,  If  'God  will  be  with  me,  and 
will  keep  me^  in  this  way  that  I 
go,  and  will  give  me  "‘bread  to  eat, 
and  raiment  to  put  on, 

21  So  that  "I  come  again  to  my 
father’s  house  in  peace ; “then  shall 
the  Lord  be  my  God : 

22  And  this  stone,  which  I have 
set  for  a pillar,  ^shall  be  God’s

CHAPTEE  29. 

1 Jacob,  coming  to  the  well  of  Haran,  9 meeteth  Rachel,  13 
and  is  entertained  by  Laban.  18  He  eovenanteth  for 
Rachel,  23  but  is  deceived  with  Leah.  28  He  marrieth 
Rachel  also.  32  Leah  beareth  Reuben,  Simeon,  Levi, 
and  Judah. 

Then  Ja-eSb  ^went  on  his  jour- 
ney, “and  came  into  the  land 
of  the  ^people  of  the  east. 

2 And  he  looked,  and  behold  a 
well  in  the  field,  and,  lo,  there  were 
three  flocks  of  sheep  lying  by  it; 
for  out  of  that  well  they  watered 
the  flocks : and  a great  stone  was 
upon  the  well’s  mouth. 

3 And  thither  were  all  the  flocks 
gathered : and  they  rolled  the  stone 
from  the  well’s  mouth,  and  watered 
the  sheep,  and  put  the  stone  again 
upon  the  well’s  mouth  in  his  place. 
4 And  Ja-cOb  said  unto  them.  My 
brethren,  whence  be  ye  % And  they 
said.  Of  Hah^an  are  we. 

5 And  he  said  unto  them.  Know 
ye  La-ban  the  son  of  Na-hor  % And 
they  said,  We  know  him. 

6 And  he  said  unto  them, /"/s'*  he 
well  1 And  they  said.  He  is  well : 
and,  behold,  Ea-chel  his  daughter 
cometh  with  the  sheep,  ^ 

7 And  he  said,  Lo,  ^it  is  yet  high 
day,  neither  is  it  time  that  the 
cattle  should  be  gathered  together : 
water  ye  the  sheep,  and  go  and 
feed  them. 

8 And  they  said.  We  cannot,  until 
all  the  flocks  be  gathered  together, 
and  till  they  roll  the  stone  from 
the  well’s  mouth ; then  we  water 
the  sheep. 

9 U And  while  he  yet  spake  with 
them,  ^Ra-che]  came  with  her  fa- 
ther’s sheep : for  she  kept  them. 
10  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Ja- 
€5b  saw  Ra-chel  the  daughter  of 
La-ban  his  mother’s  brother,  and 
the  sheep  of  La-ban  his  mother’s 
brother,  that  Ja-cOb  went  near,  and 
‘rolled  the  stone  from  the  well’s 
mouth,  and  watered  the  flock  of 
La-ban  his  mother’s  brother. 

11  And  Ja-c6b  * kissed  Ra-chel,  and 
lifted  up  his  voice,  and  wept.- 
12  And  Ja^6b  told  Ra-chel  that  he 
was  *her  father’s  brother,  and  that 
he  was  Re-bek-ah’s  son : ‘‘‘and  she 
ran  and  told  her  father. 

1 3 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  La- 
ban heard  the  '^tidings  of  Ja^ob  his 
sister’s  son,  that^he  ran  to  meet  him, 
and  embraced  him,  and  kissed  him, 
and  brought  him  to  his  house.  And 
he  told  LadDan  all  these  things. 

1 4 And  I^a-ban  said  to  him,  ® Surely 
thou  art  my  bone  and  my  flesh.

And  he  abode  with  him  ^ the  space 
of  a month. 

15  ^ And  La-ban  said  unto  Ja- 
cob, Because  thou  art  my  brother, 
shouldest  thou  therefore  serve  me 
for  nought  1 tell  me,  what  shall  thy 
wages  be  1 

16  And  La-ban  had  two  daugh- 
ters : the  name  of  the  elder  was 
Le-ah,  and  the  name  of  the  youn- 
ger was  Ra-chel. 

17  Le-ah  was  tender  eyed ; but 
Ra-chel  was  beautiful  and  well  fa- 
voured. 

18  And  Ja-c5b  loved  Ra-chel ; and 
said,  will  serve  thee  seven  years 
for  Ra-chel  thy  younger  daughter. 

19  And  La-ban  said.  It  is  better 
that  I give  her  to  thee,  than  that  I 
should  give  her  to  another  man : 
abide  with  me. 

20  And  Ja-cob ‘'served  seven  years 
for  Ra-chel ; and  they  seemed  unto 
him  but  a few  days,  for  the  love  he 
had  to  her. 

21  H And  Ja-c5b  said  unto  La-ban, 
Give  me  my  wife,  for  my  days  are 
fulfilled,  that  I may  ‘'go  in  unto  her. 

22  And  La-ban  gathered  together 
all  the  men  of  the  place,  and  -^made 
a feast. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  eveii' 
ing,  that  he  took  Le-ah  his  daugh- 
ter, and  brought  her  to  him ; and 
he  went  in  unto  her. 

24  And  La-ban  gave  unbo  his 
daughter  Le-ah  Zil-pah  his  maid 
/or  an  handmaid. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in  the 
morning,  behold,  it  was  Le-ah  : and 
he  said  to  La-ban,  What  is  this  thou 
hast  done  unto  me  1 did  not  I serve 
with  thee  for  Ra-chel  1 wherefore 
then  hast  thou  beguiled  me? 

26  And  La-ban  said,  It  must  not 
be  so  done  in  our  ® country,  to  give 
the  younger  before  the  firstborn.  ^ 

27  '‘Fulfil  her  week,  and  we  will 
give  thee  this  also  for  the  service 
which  thou  shalt  serve  with  me 
yet  seven  other  years. 

28  And  Ja-cOb  did  so,  and  fulfilled 
her  week  : and  he  gave  him  Ra-chel 
his  daughter  to  wife  also. 

29  And  La-ban  gave  to  Ra-ch6l  his 
daughter  Bil-hah  his  handmaid  to 
be  her  maid. 

30  And  he  went  in  also  unto  Ra- 
chel, and  he  “loved  also  Ra-chel 
more  than  Le-ah,  and  served  with 
him  "yet  seven  other  years. 

31  ^ And  when  vhe  Lokd  ^saw 
that  Le-ah  was  hated,  he  ‘‘opened 
her  womb  : but  Ra-chel  tvas  barren. 

32  And  Le-ah  conceived,  and  bare 
a son,  and  she  called  his  name 
®Reu-ben : for  she  said,  Surely  the

33  And  she  conceived  again,  and 
bare  a son : sind  said.  Because  the 
Lord  hath  heard  that  I was  hated, 
he  hath  therefore  given  me  tins 
son  also : and  she  called  his  name 
^Sim-6-5n. 

34  And  she  conceived  again,  and 
bare  a son  ; and  said.  Now  this  time 
will  my  husband  be  joined  unto  me, 
because  I have  born  him  three  sons  : 
therefore  was  his  name  called  '^Le-vi. 

35  And  she  conceived  again,  and 
bare  a son  : and  she  said.  Now  will 
I praise  the  Lord:  therefore  she 
called  his  name  "^Ju-dah;^  and 
^left  bearing.

unto  Ja-cOb,  Give  me  children,  ^'or

2 And  Ja-c6b’s  anger  was  kindled 
against  Ra-chel : and  he  said,  ^Ani  I 
in  God’s  stead,  who  hath  withheld 
from  thee  the  fruit  of  the  womb  % 

3 And  she  said.  Behold  ^“"my  maid

shall  bear  upon  my  knees,  ""that  I 
may  also  ®have  children  by  her.

handmaid  "to  wife;  and  Ja-cOb 
went  in  unto  her. 

5 And  Bil-hah  conceived,  and  bare

6 And  Ra-chffl  said,  God  hath 
■^■judged  me,  and  hath  also  heard 
my  voice,  and  hath  given  me  a son  : 
therefore  called  she  his  name  ^Dan. 

7 And  Bil-hah  Ra-chel’s  maid 
conceived  again,  and  bare  Ja^Ob

8 And  Ra-chgl  said.  With  ^great

she  called  his  name  ^Naph-ta-li.^

of  wheat  harvest,  and  found  man- 
drakes in  the  field,  and  brought 
them  unto  his  mother  Le^h.  Then 
Ra-chel  said  to  Le-ah,  *Give  me,  I 
pray  thee,  of  thy  son’s  mandrakes, 

15  And  she  said  unto  her,  Is  it  a 
small  matter  that  thou  hast  taken 
my  husband?  and  wouldest  thou 
take  away  my  son’s  mandrakes 
also?  And  Ra-chel  said.  Therefore 
he  shall  lie  with  thee  to  night  for 
thy  son’s  mandrakes. 

16  And  Ja-cOb  came  out  of  the 
field  in  the  evening,  and  Le-ah 
went  out  to  meet  him,  and  said.. 
Thou  must  come  in  unto  me ; for 
surely  1 have  hired  thee  with  my 
son’s  mandrakes.  And  he  lay  with 
her  that  night. 

17  And  God  hearkened  untv> 
Le-ah,  and  she  conceived,  and  bare 
Ja-cdb  the  fifth  son. 

18  And  Le-ah  said,  God  hath 
given  me  my  hire,  because  I have 
given  my  maiden  to  my  husband : 
and  she  called  his  name  ®Is-sa-char. 

19  And  Le-ah  conceived  again, 
and  bare  Ja-cOb  the  sixth  son. 

20  And  Le-ah  said,  God  hath  en- 
dued me  with  a good  dowry ; now 
will  my  husband  dwell  with  me, 
because  I have  born  him  six  sons : 
and  she  called  his  name  "Zeb-u-lun.'' 

21  And  afterwards  she  bare  a 
daughter,  and  called  her  name 
’Di-nah. 

22  11  And  God  "remembered  Ra- 
chel, and  God  hearkened  to  her, 
and  ^opened  her  womb. 

23  And  she  conceived,  and  bare 
a son;  and  said,  God  hath  taken 
away  -my  reproach: 

24  And  she  called  his  name  ® Jo- 
seph ; and  said,  " The  Lord  shall 
add  to  me  another  son. 

25  H And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ra-chel  had  born  Jo-s6ph,  that  Ja- 
cob said  unto  La-ban,  *Send  me 
away,  that  I may  go  unto  "mine 
own  place,  and  to  my  country. 

26  Give  me  my  wives  and  my 
children,  *for  whom  I have  served 
thee,  and  let  me  go : for  thou 
knowest  my  service  which  I have 
done  thee. 

27  And  La-ban  said  unto  him,  I 
pray  thee,  if  I have  found  favour 
in  thine  eyes,  tarry:  for  "I  have 
learned  by  experience  that  the  Lord 
hath  blessed  me  *for  thy  sake. 

28  And  he  said,  "Appoint  me  thj- 
wages,  and  I will  give  it. 

29  And  he  said  unto  him,  "^Thou 
knowest  how  I have  served  thee,

31  And  he  said,  What  shall  I give 
thee  % And  J a-cdb  said.  Thou  shalt 
not  give  me  any  thing : if  thou  wilt 
do  this  thing  for  me,  I will  again 
feed  and  keep  thy  flock. 

32  1 will  pass  through  all  thy  flock 
to  day,  removing  fi*om  thence  all 
the  speckled  and  spotted  cattle, 
and  all  the  brown  cattle  among  the 
sheep,  and  the  spotted  and  speckled 
among  the  goats ; and  ‘^o/  such  shall 
be  my  hire. 

33  So  shall  my  f righteousness  an- 
swer for  me  ^in  time  to  come,  when 
it  shall  come  for  my  hire  before  thy 
face : every  one  that  is  not  speckled 
and  spotted  among  the  goats,  and 
brown  among  the  sheep,  that  shall 
be  counted  stolen  with  me. 

34  And  La-ban  said.  Behold,  I 
would  it  might  be  according  to 
thy  word. 

35  And  he  removed  that  day  the 
he  goats  that  were  ringstraked  and 
spotted,  and  all  the  she  goats  that 
were  speckled  and  spotted,^  and 
every  one  that  had  some  white  in 
it,  and  all  the  brown  among  the 
sheep,  and  gave  them  into  the  hand 
of  his  sons. 

36  And  he  set  three  days’  journey 
betwixt  himself  and  Ja-p6b : and 
Ja^Ob  fed  the  rest  of  La-ban’s 
flocks 

37  H And  *'Ja-e5b  took  him  rods 
of  green  poplar,  and  of  the  hazel 
and  chesnut  tree ; and  pilled  white 
strakes  in  them,  and  made  the  white 
appear  which  was  in  the  rods. 

38  And  he  set  the  rods  which 
he  had  pilled  before  the  flocks  in 
the  gutters  in  the  watering  troughs 
when  the  flocks  came  to  drink,  that 
they  should  conceive  when  they 
came  to  drink. 

39  And  the  flocks  conceived  before 
the  rods,  and  brought  forth  cattle 
ringstraked_,  speckled,  and  spotted. 

40  And  Ja'edb  did  separate  the 
lambs,  and  set  the  faces  of  the  flocks 
toward  the  ringstraked,  and  all  the 
brown  in  the  fl^ock  of  La-ban;  and 
he  put  his  own  flocks  by  themselves, 
and  put  them  not  unto  La-ban’s 
cattle. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass,  when- 
soever the  stronger  cattle  did  con- 
ceive, that  Ja-c6b  laid  the  rods 
before  the  eyes  of  the  cattle  in  the 
gutters,  that  they  might  conceive 
among  the  rods. 

42  But  when  the  cattle  were  feeble.

CHAPTER  31. 

1 Jacob  departeth  secretly  from  Labcm.  19  Rachel  steed- 

eth  her  father’s  images.  22  Labcm  pursueth  after  Jacob. 

43  Their  covenant  at  Galeed. 

AND  he  heard  the  words  of  La- 
XA-  ban’s  sons,  saying,  Ja-e5b  hath 
taken  away  all  that  was  our  father’s ; 
and  of  that  which  wa,s  our  father’s 
hath  he  gotten  all  this  ®glory. 

2 And  Ja^Ob  beheld  -Rhe  counte- 
nance of  La-ban,  and,  behold,  it  was 
not  '"toward  him  “^as  before. 

3 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Ja- 
edb,  ^Return  unto  the  land  of  thy 
fathers,  and  to  thy  kindred;  and 
I will  be  with  thee. 

4_  And  Ja-eOb  sent  and  called 
Ra-chel  and  Le-ah  to  the  field  unto 
his  flock, 

5 And  said  unto  them,  '’I  see  your 
father’s  countenance,  that  it  is  not 
toward  me  as  before ; but  the  God 
of  my  father  'hath  been  with  me. 

6 And  ”"ye  know  that  with  all  my 
power  I have  served  your  father. 

7 And  your  father  hath  deceived 
me,  and  ""changed  my  wages  "ten 
times ; but  God  -^suffered  him  not 
to  hurt  me. 

8 If  he  said  thus,  ®The  speckled 
shall  be  thy  wages;  then  all  the 
cattle  bare  speckled  : and  if  he  said 
thus.  The  ringstraked  shall  be  thy 
hire;  tben  bare  all  the  cattle  ring- 
straked. 

9 Thus  God  hath  Haken  away  the 
cattle  of  your  father,  and  given  them 
to  me. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass  at  thQ  time 
that  the  cattle  conceived,  that  I 
lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw  in  a 
dream,  and,  behold,  the  ®rams  which 
leaped  upon  the  cattle  were  ring- 
straked, speckled,  and  grisled. 

11  And  'the  angel  of  God  spake 
unto  me  in  a dream,  saying,  Ja- 
cob : And  I said.  Here  am  I. 

1 2 And  he  said.  Lift  up  now  thine 
eyes,  and  see,  all  the  rams  which 
leap  upon  the  cattle  are  ringstraked, 
speckled,  and  grisled:  for  “I  have 
seen  all  that  La-ban  doeth  unto  thee. 

13  I am  the  God  of  Beth'-el, 
’^where  thou  anointedst  the  pillar, 
and  where  thou  yowedst  a vow 
unto  me : now  ^ arise,  get  thee  out 
from  this  land,  and  return  unto 
the  land  of  thy  kindred. 

14  And  Ra-chel  and  Le-ah  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him,

there  yet  any  portion  or  inherit- 
ance for  us  in  our  father’s  house'? 

15  Are  we  not  counted  of  him 
strangers'?  for  *he  hath  sold  us, 
and  hath  quite  devoured  also  our 

^6  ]A)r  all  the  riches  which  God 
hath  taken  from  our  father,  that 
is  our’s,  and  our  children’s:  now 
then,  whatsoever  God  hath  said 
unto  thee,  do. 

17  H Then  Ja-ehb  rose  up,  and 
set  his  sons  and  his  wives  upon 
camels ; 

18  And  he  carried  away  all  his 
cattle,  and  all  his  goods  which  he 
had  gotten,  the  cattle  of  his  getting, 
which  he  had  gotten  in  Pa-dan- 
a-ram,  for  to  go  to  I-saac  his  father 
in  the  land  of  -Ga-naan. 

19  And  La-ban  went  to  shear  his 
sheep:  and  Ra-chel  had  stolen  the 
** images^  that  were  her  father’s. 

20  And  Ja-chb  stole  away  ^un- 
awares to  La-ban  the  Syr-i-an,  in 
that  he  told  him  not  that  he  fled. 

21  So  he  fled  with  all  that  he  had; 
and  he  rose  up,  and  passed  over 
the  liver,  and  ®set  his  face  toward 
the  mount  Gil-e-ad. 

22  And  it  was  told  La-ban  on  the 
third  day  that  J a-c5b  was  fled. 

23  And  he  took  ^'his  brethren  with 
him,  and  pursued  after  him  seven 
days’  journey;  and  they  overtook 
him  in  the  mount  Gil-e-ad. 

24  And  God  '"came  to  La-ban  the 
Syr-i-an  in  a dream  by  night,  and 
said  unto  him.  Take  heed  that  thou 
*speak  not  to  Ja-c5b  ^either  good  or 
bad. 

25  H Then  La-ban  overtook  Ja-c6b. 
Now  Ja-c6b  had  pitched  his  tent 
in  the  mount : and^  La-ban  with  his 
brethren  pitched  in  the  mount  of 
Gil-e-M. 

26  And  La-ban  said  to  Ja-c6b, 
What  hast  thou  done,  that  thou 
hast  stolen  away  unawares  to  me, 
and  * carried  away  my  daughters, 
as  captives  taheri  with  the  sword'? 

27  Wherefore  didst  thou  flee  away 
secretly,  and  ®steal  away  from  me; 
and  didst  not  tell  me,  that  1 might 
have  sent  thee  away  with  mirth, 
and  with  songs,  with  tabret,  and 
with  harp'? 

28  And  hast  not  suffered  me  ’"to 
kiss  my  sons  and  my  daughters'? 
Hhou  hast  now  done  foolishly  in 
so  doing.  ^ 

29  It  is  in  the  power  of  my  hand 
to  do  you  hurt : but  the  ^God  of 
ypur  father  spake  unto  me  "■  yester- 
night, saying,  Take  thou  heed  that 
thou  speak  not  to  Ja-cOb  either 
good  or  bad.

33  And  La-ban  went  into  Ja-c5bs 
tent,  and  into  Le-ah’s  tent,  and  into 
the  two  maidservants’  tents ; but 
he  found  them  not.  Then  went  he 
out  of  Le-ah’s  tent,  and  entered  inte 
Ra-chel’s  tent. 

34  Now  Ra-chel  had  taken  the  im- 
ages, and  put  them  in  the  camel’s 
furniture,  and  sat  upon  them.  And 
La-ban  ^searched  all  the  tent,  but 
found  them  not. 

35  And  she  said  to  her  father. 
Let  it  not  displease  my  lord  that 
1 cannot  -^rise  up  before  thee ; for 
the  custom  of  women  is  upon  me. 
And  he  searched,  but  found  not  the 
images. 

36  ^ And  Ja_-c5b  was  wroth,  and 
chode  with  La-ban:  and  Ja-chb  an- 
swered and  said  to  La-ban,  What 
is  my  trespass]  what  is  my  sin, 
that  thou  hast  so  hotly  pursued 
after  me] 

37  Whereas  thou  hast  ® searched 
all  my  stuff,  what  hast  thou  found 
of  all  thy  household  stuff]  set  it 
here  before  my  brethren  and  thy 
brethren,  that  they  may  judge  be- 
twixt us  both. 

38  This  twenty  years  have  I been 
with  thee;  thy  ewes  and  thy  she 
goats  have  not  cast  their  young, 
and  the  rams  of  thy  flock  have  1 
not  eaten. 

39  ^That  which  was  torn  of  beasts 
I brought  not  unto  thee ; I bare  the 
loss  of  it ; of  ”"my  hand  didst  thou 
require  it,  whether  stolen  by  day, 
or  stolen  by  night.^ 

40  Thus  I was ; in  the  day  the 
drought  consumed  me,  and  the 
frost  by  night  ; and  my  sleep  de- 
parted from  mine  eyes. 

41  Thus  have  I been  twenty  years 
in  thy  house ; I ^served  thee  four- 
teen years  for  thy  two  daughters, 
and  six  years  for  thy  cattle : and 
®thou  hast  changed  my  wages  ten 
times.

now  empty.  "God  hath  seen  mine 
affliction  and  the  labour  of  my 
hands,  and  ^rebuked  thee  yester- 
night. 

43  ^ And  La-ban  answered  and 
said  unto  Ja-e5b,  These  daughters 
are  my  daughters,  and  these  chil- 
dren are  my  children,  and  these 
cattle  are  my  cattle,  and  all  that 
thou  seest  is  miine:  and  what  can  I 
do  this  day  unto  these  my  daugh- 
ters, or  unto  their  children  which 
they  have  bornl 

44  Now  therefore  come  thou,  ^let 
us  make  a covenant,  I and  thou ; 
’'and  let  it  be  for  a witness  between 
me  and  thee. 

45  And  Ja-eob  ’^took  a stone,  and 
set  it  up  for  a pillar. 

46  And  Ja-eob  said  unto  his  bre- 
thren, Gather  stones ; and  they 
took  stones,  and  made  an  heap  : 
and  they  did  eat  there  upon  the 
heap. 

47  And  La-ban  called  it  •‘^Je-gar- 
ya-ha-du-tha : but  Ja-eob  called  it 
*Gal-e-ed. 

48  And  La-ban  said,  ”This  heap  is 

a witness  between  me  and  thee  this 
day.  Therefore  was  the  name  of  it 
called  Gal-e-ed ; , . , 

49  And  ^Miz-pah;^  for  he  said. 
The  Lord  watcn  between  me  and 
thee,  when  we  are  absent  one  from 
another. 

50  If  thou  shaft  afflict  my  daugh- 

ters, or  if  thou  shaft  take  other, 
wives  beside  my  daughters,  no  man 
is  with  us ; see,  God  is  witness  be- 
twixt me  and  thee.  ^ 

51  And  La-ban  said  to  Ja-e6b, 

Behofd  this  heap,  and  behold  this 
pillar,  which  I have  cast  betwixt 
me  and  thee ; i 7 • 

52  This  heap  he  witness,  and  this 

pillar  be  witness,  that  I will  not 
pass  over  this  heap  to  thee,  and 
that  thou  shaft  not  pass  over  this 
heap  and  this  pillar  unto  me,  for

53  The  God  of  A-bra-ham,  and 

the  God  of  Na-hor,  the  God  of  their 
father,  ^ judge  betwixt  us.  And 
Ja-e6b  “sware  by  Hhe  fear  of  his 
father  I-saae.  ^ , .« 

54  Then  Ja-ehb  ’offered  sacrihce 

upon  the  mount,  and  called  his 
brethren  to  eat  bread : and  they 
did  eat  bread,  and  tarried  all  night 
in  the  mount.  , 

55  And  early  in  the  morning  La- 
ban rose  up,  and  kissed  his  sons  and 
his  daughters,  and  ^blessed  them  : 
and  La-ban  departed,  and  ^returned

Q He  is  afraid  of  Esau’s  coming.  9 He  p7  lyeth  for,- 
deliverance.  13  He  sendeth  a present  to  Esa  i.  24  Bt 
wrestleth  with  an  angel  at  Peniel,  where  he  is  caller 
Israel.  31  He  halteth. 

AND  Ja-e6b  went  on  his  way,  and 
®the  angels  of  God  met  him. 

2 And  when  Ja-ehb  saw  them,  he 
said.  This  is  God’s  ‘^host:  and  he 
called  the  name  of  that  place  ^Ma- 
ha-na-im._ 

3 And  Ja^bb  sent  messengers  be- 
fore him  to  E^sau  his  brother  ‘'unto 
the  land  of  Se-ir,  -^the  ^country  of 
E-dom. 

4 And  he  commanded  them,  say  • 
ing,  'Thus  shall  ye  speak  unto  my 
lord  E-sau ; Thy  servant  Ja^5b 
saith  thus,  I have  sojourned  with 
La-ban,  and  stayed  there  until 
now : 

5 And  -1  have  oxen,  and  asses, 
flocks,  and  menservants,  and  wo- 
menservants  : and  I have  sent  to 
tell  my  lord,  that  may  find  grace 
in  thy  sight. 

6 II  And  the  messengers  returned 

to  Ja-ehb,  saying.  We  came  to  thy 
brother  E-sau,  and  also  "he  cometh 
to  meet  thee,  and  four  hundred  men 
with  him.  , 

7 Then  Ja-ehb  was  greatly  afraid 
and  ^distressed:  and  he  divided  the 
people  that  was  with  him,  and  the 
flocks,  and  herds,  and  the  camels, 
into  two  bands ; 

8 And  said.  If  E-sau  come  to  the 

one  company,  and  smite  it,  then 
the  other  company  which  is  left 
shall  escape.  ^ ^ ^ 

9 ^ '"And  Ja-e6b  said,  *0  God  of 
my  father  A-bra-ham,  and  God  of 
my  father  I^aae,  the  Lord  ‘which 
saidst  unto  me.  Return  unto  thy 
country,  and  to  thy  kindred,  and 
I will  deal  well  with  thee : 

10  H am  not  worthy  of  the  least

truth,  which  thou  hast  shewed  unto 
thy  servant;  for  with  ^my  staff  I 
passed  over  this  J6r-dan;  and  now 
I am  become  two  bands.

the  hand  of  my  brother,  from  the 
hand  of  E-sau ; for  I fear  him,  lest 
he  will  come  and  smite  me,  and 
‘'the  mother  ®with  the  children. 

12  And  ‘'thou  saidst,  I will  surely 
do  thee  good,  and  make  thy  seed 
as  the  sand  of  the  sea,  which  can- 
not be  numbered  for  multitude. 

13  U And  he  lodged  there  that 

same  night ; and  took  of  that  which 
came  to  his  hand  •'^a  present  tor 
E-sau  his  brother ; . 

14  Two  hundred  she  goats,  and 


ucicob  s 'present  to  Esan.  GENESIS,  33.  hsaus  kindness  to  Jacob, 


twenty  he  goats,  two  hundred  ewes, 
and  twenty  rams,  . , , . 

15  Thirty  milch  camels  with  their 
colts,  forty  kine,  and  ten  bulls, 
twenty  she  asses,  and  ten  foals. 

16  And  he  delivered  them  into  the 
hand  of  his  servants,  every  drove 
by  themselves ; and  said  unto  his 
s(irvants.  Pass  over  before  me,  and 
put  a space  betwixt  drove  and  drove. 

17  And  he  commanded  the  fore- 
most, saying.  When  E-sau  my  bro- 
ther meeteth  thee,  amd  asketh  thee, 
saying.  Whose  art  thoul  and  whi- 
ther goest  thou  % and  whose  are 
these  oefore  theel 

18  Then  thou  shalt  say,^  They  he 
thy  servant  Ja--e5b’s;  it  7s  a pres- 
ent sent  unto  rny  lord  E-sau:  and, 
behold,  also  he  is  behind  us. 

19  And  so  commanded  he  the 
second,  and  the  third,  and  all  that 
followed  the  droves,  saying.  On  this 
manner  shall  ye  speak  unto  E-sau, 
when  ye  find  him. 

20  And  say  ye  moreover.  Behold, 
thy  servant  Ja-e5b  is  behind  us. 
For  he  said,  I will  ‘'appease  him 
with  the  present  that  goeth  before 
me,  and  afterward  I will  see  his 
face ; perad venture  he  will  accept 
‘“^of  me. 

21  So  went  the  present  over  be- 
fore him : and  himself  lodged  that 
night  in  the  company. 

22  And  he  rose  up  that  night, 
and  took  his  two  wives,  and  his 
two  womenservants,  and  his  eleven 
sons,  ®and  passed  over  the  ford 
Jab-b5k. 

23  And  he  took  them,  and  '^sent 
them  over  the  brook,  and  sent  over 
that  he  had. 

24  ^ And  Ja-eSb  was  left  alone ; 
and  there  -^wrestled  a man  with 
him  until  the  ® breaking  of  the  day. 

25  And  when  he  saw  that  he  pre- 
vailed not  against  him,  he  touched 
the  hollow  of  his  thigh ; and  ^ the 
hollow  of  Ja-ehb’s  thigh  was  out  of 
3oint,  as  he  wrestled  with  him. 

26  And  *he  said.  Let  me  go,  for 
the  day  breaketh.  And  he  said, 

will  not  let  thee  go,  except  thou 
bless  me. 

27  And  he  said  unto  him,  What  is 
thy  name  % And  he  said,  Ja^Ob. 

28  And  he  said,  ^Thy  name  shall 
be  called  no  more  Ja-e5b,  but  ®Is- 

cl : for  as  a prince  hast  thou 
"power  with  God  and  ‘'with  men, 
and  hast  prevailed. 

29  And  Ja-^Ob  asked  him,  and 
said,  Tell  me,  I pray  thee,  thy  name. 
And  he  said,  ^Wherefore  is  it  that 
thou  dost  ask  after  my  name  % And 
he  blessed  him  there.

AND  Ja-c5b  lifted  up  his  eyes^  and 
looked,  and,  behold,  * E-sau 
came,  and  with  him  four  hundred 
men.  And  he  divided  the  children

unto  the  two  handmaids.

their  children  foremost,  and  Le-ah 
and  her  children  after,  and  Ra-chel 
and  Jo-seph  hindermost. 

3 And  he  passed  over  before  them, 
and  bowed  himself  to  the  ground 
seven  times,  until  he  came  near  to, 
his  brother. 

4 And  E-sau  ran  to  meet  him,  and 
embraced  him,  and  fell  on  his  neck, 
and  kissed  him : and  they  wept. 

5 And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
saw  the  women  and  the  children; 
and  said.  Who  are  those  ^with  thee? 
And  he  said.  The  children  which 
God  hath  graciously  given  thy  serv- 


ant. 

6 Then  the  handmaidens  came 
near,  they  and  their  children,  and 
they  bowed  themselves.  ' 

7 And  Le-ah  also  with  her  chil- 
dren came  near,  and  bowed  them' 
selves and  after  came  J o-seph  near 
and  Ra-ch6l,  and  they  bowed  them- 
selves. 

8 And  he  said,  ^What  meanest 
thou  by  all  this  drove  which  I met  ? 
And  he  said.  These  are  '^to  find  grace 
in  the  sight  of  my  lord. 

9 And  E-sau  said,  I have  enough, 
my  brother ; ^ keep  that  thou  hast 
unto  thyself. 

10  And  Ja-e6b  said.  Nay,  I pray 
thee,  if  now  I have  found  grace  in 
thy  sight,  then  receive  my  present 
at  my  hand  : for  therefore  I ’"have 
seen  thy  face,  as  though  I had  seen 
the  face  of  God,  and  thou  wast

that  is  brought  to  thee;  because

go  before  thee. 

13  And  he  said  unto  him,  My  lord 
knoweth  that  the  children  are  ten- 
der, and  the  flocks  and  herds  with 
young  are  with  me:  and  if  men 
should  overdrive  them  one  day,  all

14  Let  my  lord,  I pray  thee,  pass 
over  before  his  servant : and  I will 
lead  on  softly,  ^according  as  the 
cattle  that  goeth  before  me  and  the 
children  be  able  to  endure,  until  I 
come  unto  my  lord  unto  Se-ir.

“ were  very  wroth,  because  he  ^ hac 
wrought  folly  in  Ish4-el  in  lying 
with  Ja-cbb’s  daughter;  ‘'which

and  the  land  shall  be  before  you  ; 
dwell  and  ® trade  ye  therein,  and 
•^get  you  possessions  therein. 

11  And  She-chem  said  unto  her

12  Ask  me  never  so  much  * dowry 
and  gift,  and  I will  give  according 
as  ye  shall  say  unto  me : but  give 
me  the  damsel  to  wife.

swered She-chem  and  Ha-mor  his 
father  deceitfully,  and  said,  be- 
cause he  had  defiled  Di-nah  their 
sister : 

14  And  they  said  unto  them,  We 
cannot  do  this  thing,  to  give  our 
sister  to  one  that  is  uncircumcised ; 
for  ‘'that  were  a reproach  unto  us  : 

15  But  in  this  will  we  consent 
unto  you ; If  ye  will  be  as  _we  be, 
that  every  male  of  you  be  circum- 
cised ; 

1 6 Then  will  we  give  our  daughters 
unto  you,  and  we  will  take  your 
daughters  to  us,  and  we  will  dwell 
with  you,  and  we  will  become  one

17  But  if  ye  will  not  hearken  unto 
us,  to  be  circumcised  ; then  will  we 
take  our  daughter,  and  we  will  be 
gone. 

18  And  their  words  pleased  Ha- 
mor,  and  She-chem  Ha-mor’s  son. 

19  And  the  young  man  deferred 
not  to  do  the  thing,  because  he  had 
delight  in  Ja-cbb’s  daughter:  and 
he  was  ’’more  honourable  than  all 
the  house  of  his  father. 

20  ^ And  Ha-mor  and  She-chem 
his  son  came  unto  the  gate  of  their 
city,  and  communed  with  the  men 
of  their  city,  saying,

us ; therefore  let  them  dwell  in  the 
land,  and  trade  therein;  for  the 
land,  behold,  it  is  large  enough  for

in  the  day  of  my  distress,  “and 
was  with  me  in  the  way  vv^hich  I 
went. 

4 And  they  gave  unto  Ja-cob  all 
the  strange  gods  which  were^  in 
their  hand,  and  all  their  ^earrings 
which  were  in  their  ears ; and  Ja- 
ebb  hid  them  under  Hhe  oak  which 
was  by  She-chem. 

5 And  they  journeyed : and  ‘fthe 
terror  of  God  was  upon  the  cities 
that  were  round  about  them,  and 
they  did  not  pursue  after  the  sons 
of  Ja-ebb. 

6 ^ So  Ja-ebb  came  to -^Luz,  which 
is  in  the  land  of  -Ga-naan,  that  ^s, 
Beth'-6l,  he  and  all  the  people  that 
were  with  him. 

7 And  he  built  there  an  altar, 

and  called  the  place  ^ El-beth'-el : 
because  Hhere  God  appeared  unto 
him,  when  he  fled  from  the  face  of 
his  brother.  , , , , 

8 But  ^ Deb-b-rah  Re-bek-ah’s  nurse 
died,  and  she  was  buried  beneath 
Beth'-el  under  an  oak:  and  the  name 
of  it  was  called  ^^Al'lbn-bach-uth.  ^ 

9 ^ And  * God  appeared  unto  J a- 
ebb  again,  when  he  came  out  of 
Pa-dan-aYam,  and  blessed  hiim 

10  And  God  said  unto  him.  Thy 
name  is  Ja-ebb : ”^thy  name  shall 
not  be  called  any  more  J a-ebb,  but 
Is-ra-el  shall  be  thy  name : and  he 
called  his  name  IsYa-el. 

11  And  God  said  unto  him,  am 
God  Almighty : be  fruitful  and  mul- 
tiply; "a  nation  and  a company  of 
nations  shall  be  of  thee,  and  kings 
shall  come  out  of  thy  loins ; 

12  And  the  land  « which  I gave 
A-bra-ham  and  I-saac,  to  thee  I will 
give  it,  and  to  thy  seed  after  thee 
will  I give  the  land. 

13  And  God  “went  up  from  him 

in  the  place  where  he  talked  with 
him.  . 

14  And  Ja-ebb  *set  up  a pillar  in 
the  place  where  he  talked  with 
him,  even  a pillar  of  stone : and  he 
poured  a drink  offering  thereon, 
and  he  poured  oil  thereon. 

15  And  Ja-ebb  called  the  name  of 
the  place  where  God  spake  with 
him,  BetlT-bl. 

16  H And  they  journeyed  from 
Beth'-bl;  and  there  was  but  ^a 
little  way  to  come  to  Ephh-ath : 
and  Ra-chel  travailed,  and  she  had 
hard  labour. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she 
was  in  hard  labour,  that  the  mid- 
wife said  unto  her,  Fear  not ; ‘’thou 
shalt  have  this  son  also. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  her 
soul  was  in  departing,  (for  she 
died)  that  she  called  his  name

20  And  Ja^db  set  a pillar  upon

21  H And  Is-ra-el  journeyed,  and 
spread  his  tent  beyond  the  tower

ben went  and  day  with  Bil-hah  his 
father’s  concubine ; and  Is-ra-el 
heard  it.  Now  the  sons  of  Ja^db 
were  twelve:

are  the  sons  of  Ja-cdb,  which  were 
born  to  him  in  Pa-dan-a-ram.  _

AND  Ja^bb  dwelt  in  the  land 
'’wherein®  his  father_was  a 
stranger,  in  the  land  of  Ca-naam^ 

2 These  are  the  generations  of  J a- 
ebb.  Jb-seph,  being  seventeen  years 
old,  was  feeding  the  flock  with  his 
brethren;  and  the  lad  was  with 
the  sons  of  Bil-hah,  and  with  the 
sons  of  Zil-pah,  his  father’s  wives : 
and  Jb-sbph  brought  unto  his  father 
‘'their  evil  report. 

3 Nowls-ra-el  loved  Jb-seph  more 
than  all  'his  children,  because  he 
was  ‘'the  son  of  his  old  age  : and  he 
made  him  a coat  of  many  ^colours. 

4 And  when  his  brethren  saw  that 
their  father  loved  him  more  than 
all  his  brethren,  they  ■''hated  him, 
and  could  not  speak  peaceably  unto 
him. 

5 ^ And  Jb-seph  dreamed  a dream, 
and  he  told  it  his  brethren : and 
they  hated  him  yet  the  more. 

6 And  he  said  unto  them.  Hear,  I 

pray  you,  this  dream  which  I have 
dreamed  : n . t 

7 For,  ^behold,  we  were  binding 
sheaves  in  the  field,  and,  lo,  my 
sheaf  arose,  and  also  stood  upright ; 
and,  behold,  your  sheaves  stood 
round  about,  and  made  obeisance 
to  my  sheaf. 

8 And  his  brethren  said  to  him, 
Shalt  thou  indeed  reign  over  US'? 
or  shalt  thou  indeed  have  dominion 
over  US'?  And  they  hated  him  yet 
the  more  for  his  dreams,  and  for 
his  words. 

9 H And  he  dreamed  yet  another 
dream,  and  told  it  his  brethren, 
and  said.  Behold,  I have  dreamed 
a dream  more;  and,  behold,  'the 
sun  and  the  m9on  and  the  eleven 
stars  made  obeisance  to  me. 

10  And  he  told  it  to  his  father, 

and  to  his  brethren : and  his  father 
rebuked  him,  and  said  unto  him. 
What  is  this  dream  that  thou  hast 
dreamed  1 Shall  I and  thy  mother 
and  "‘thy  brethren  indeed  come  to 
bow  down  ourselves  to  thee  to  the 
earth  1 . , , . 

1 1 And  "his  brethren  envied  him  ; 
but  his  father  ‘’observed  the  saying.

Do  not  thy  brethren  feed  the  flock 
in  She^^hem^  come,  and  I will  send 
thee  unto  them.  And  he  said  to 
him,  Here  am  I.  ^ t 

14  And  he  said  to  him.  Go,  1 pray 
thee,  ^see  whether  it  be  well  with 
thy  brethren,  and  well  with  the 
flocks;  and  bring  me  word  again. 
So  he  sent  him  out  of  the  vale  of 
^ He-bron,  and  he  came  to  She-ehem. 

1 5 H And  a certain  man  found  him, 
and,  behold,  he  was  wandering^  in 
the  field ; and  the  man  asked  him, 
saving,  What  seekest  thou  ^ 

16  And  he  said,  I seek  my  bre- 
thren ; Hell  nie,  I pray  thee,  where 
they  feed  their  flocks. 

17  And  the  man  said.  They  are 
departed  hence ; for  I heard  them 
say.  Let  us  go  to  DoHhan.  And 
Jo-seph  went  after  his  brethren, 
and  found  them  in  ^DoHhan. 

18  And  v/hen  they  saw  him  afar 
off',  even  before  he  came  near  unto 
them,  "*they  conspired  against  him 
to  slay  him. 

19  And  they  said  one  to  another. 
Behold,  this  dreamer  cometh. 

20  ^Come  now  therefore,  and  let 
us  slay  him,  and  cast  him  into 
some  pit,  and  we  will  say.  Some 
evil  beast  hath  devoured  him : ana

delivered  him  out  of  their  hands; 
and  said,  Let  us  not  kill  him. 

22  And  Eeu-ben  said  unto  them, 
Shed  no  blood,  but  cast  him  into 
this  pit  that  is  in  the  wilderness, 
and  lay  no  hand  upon  him;  that 
he  might  rid  him  out  of  their  hands,

Jo-seph  was  come  unto  his  brethren, 
that  they  stript  J o-seph  out  of  his

was  on  him ;

him  into  a pit : and  the  pit  was 
empty,  there  was  no  water  in  it.

‘^and  sold  Jo-seph  to  the  Ish-me-el-

*and  the  Lord  slew  him. 

8 And  Ju-dah  said  unto  O-nan,  Go 

in  unto  Hhy  brother’s  wife,  and 
marry  her,  and  raise  up  seed  to 
thy  brother.  . 

9 And  O-nan  knew  that  the  seed 
should  not  be  "his  ; and  it  came  to 
pass,  when  he  went  in  unto  his 
brother’s  wife,  that  he  spilled  tt 
on  the  ground,  lest  that  he  should 
give  seed  to  his  brother. 

10  And  the  thing  which  he  did 
displeased  the  Lord:  wherefore 
he  slew  ‘^him  also. 

1 1 Then  said  Ju-dah  to  Ta-mar  his 
daughter  in  law,  "Eemain  a widow 
at  thy  father’s  house,  till  Shedah 
my  son  be  grown  : f9r  he  said,  Lest 
peradventure  he  -die  also,  as  his 
brethren  did.  And  Tadnar  went 
and  dwelt  '^in  her  father’s  house. 

12  H And  ^ in  process  of  time  the 
daughter  of  Shu-ah  Ju-dah’s  wife 
died;  and  Ju-dah  *was  comforted, 
and  went  up  unto  his  sheepshearers 
to  Timdath,  he  and  his  friend  Hi- 
rah  the  A-dul-lam-ite. 

1 3 And  it  was  told  Ta-mar,  saying, 
Behold  thy  father  in  law  goeth  up 
^to  Tim-nath  to  shear  his  sheep. 

14  And  she  put  her  v/idow’s  gar^ 
ments  off  from  her,  and  covered 
her  with  a vail,  and  wrapped  her- 
self, and  ^sat  in  ^an  open  place, 
which  is  by  the  way  to  Tim-nath ; 
for  she  saw  "that  Shedah  was  grown, 
and  she  was  not  given  unto  him  to 
wife. 

15  When  Ju-dah  saw  her,  he 
thought  her  to  be  an  harlot;  be- 
cause she  had  covered  her  face. 

16  And  he  turned  unto  her  by  the 
way,  and  said,  Go  to,  I pray  thee, 
let  me  come  in  unto  thee  : (for  he 
knew  not  that  she  was  his  daughter 
in  law.)  And  she  said.  What  wilt 
thou  give  me,  that  thou  mayest 
come  in  unto  rne^ 

17  And  he  said,  “I  will  send  thee 
®a  kid  from  the  flock.  And  she 
said,  ^Wilt  thou  give  me  a pledge, 
till  thou  send  itl 

18  And  he  said.  What  pledge  shall 
I give  theel  And  she  said,  ^Thy 
signet,  and  thy  bracelets,  and  thy 
staff  tnat  is  in  thine  hand.  And  he 
gave  it  her,  and  came  in  unto  her, 
and  she  conceived  by  him. 

1 9 And  she  arose,  and  went  away, 
and  *laid  b.y  her  vail  from  her,  and 

Eut  on  the  garments  of  her  widow- 
ood. 

20  And  Ju-dah  sent  the  kid  by  the 
hand  of  his  friend  the  A-dul-lam-ite, 
to  receive  his  pledge  from  the  wo- 
man’s hand : but  he  found  her  not.

And  they  said,  There  was  no  harlot

said,  I cannot  find  her ; and  also  the

was  no  harlot  in  this  place. 

23  And  Ju-dah  said.  Let  her  take 
it  to  her,  lest  we  ‘'^be  shamed : be-

not  round  her.

J u-dah,  saying,  Tahnar  thy  daughter 
in  law  hath  Splayed  the  harlot ; and 
also,  behold,  she  is  with  child  by 
whoredom.  And  J u-dah  said.  Bring 
her  forth,  ^and  let  her  be  burnt. 

25  When  she  was  brought  forth, 
she  sent  to  her  father  in  law,  saying. 
By  the  man,  whose  these  are,  am  I 
with  child:  and  she  said,  * Discern, 
I pray  thee,  whose  are  these,  ^the 
signet,  and  bracelets,  and  staff,

them,  and  said,  ”She  hath  been 
more  righteous  than  I ; because 
that  “I  gave  her  not  to  She-lah 
my  son.  And  he  knew  her  again 
^no  more.

travailed,  that  the  one^  put  out  his 
hand:  and  the  midwife  took  and 
bound  upon  his  hand  a scarlet 
thread,  saying.  This  came  out  first. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  drew 
back  his  hand,  that,  behold,  his  bro- 
ther came  out : and  she  said,  **  How 
hast  thou  broken  forth  1 this  breach 
he  upon  thee:  therefore  his  name 
was  called  ‘Pha-rSz.'^

upon  his  hand : and  his  name  was

Lord  “made  all  that  he  did  to  pros- 
per in  his  hand. 

4 And  Jo-seph  ^ found  grace  in  his 

aight,  and  he  served  him:  and  he 
made  him  ‘'overseer  over  his  house, 
and  all  that  he  had  he  put  into  his 
hand.  . 

5 And  it  came  to  pass  from  the 

time  that  he  had  made  him  over- 
seer in  his  house,  and  over  all  that 
he  had,  that  "the  Lord  blessed  the 
E-gyp-tian’s  house  for  J o-s6ph  s 
sake ; and  the  blessing  of  the  Lord 
was  upon  all  that  he  had  in  the 
house,  and  in  the  field.  , , , . 

6 And  he  left  all  that  he  had  in 
Jo-seph’s  hand;  and  he  knew  not 
ought  he  had,  save  the  bread  which 
he  did  eat.  And  Jo-seph  *was  a 
goodly  person,  and  well  favoured. 

7 51  And  it  came  to  pass  after  these 
things,  that  his  master’s  wife  cast 
her  eyes  upon  Jo-seph;  and  she 
said,  ^Lie  with  me. 

8 But  he  refused,  and  said  unto 

his  master’s  wife,  Behold,  my  mas- 
ter wotteth  not  what  is  with  me 
in  the  house,  and  he  hath  com- 
mitted all  that  he  hath  to  my 
hand ; . • 

9 There  is  none  greater  in  this 
house  than  I ; neither  hath  he  kept 
back  any  thing  from  me  but  thee, 
because  thou  art  his  wife:  fhow 
then  can  I do  this  great  wicked- 
ness, and  ^sin  against  Godl 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  she 
spake  to  Jo-seph  day  by  day,  that 
he  hearkened  not  unto  her,  to  lie 
by  her,  or  to  be  with  her. 

1 1 And  it  came  to  pass  about  this 
time,  that  Jo-seph  went  into  the 
house  to  do  his  business ; and  there 
was  none  of  the  men  of  the  house 
there  within. 

12  And  "she  caught  him  by  ms 
garment,  saying.  Lie  with  me : and 
he  left  his  garment  in  her  hand, 
and  fled,  and  got  him  out. 

1 3 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she 
saw  that  he  had  left  his  garment  in 
her  hand,  and  was  fled  forth, 

14  That  she  called  unto  the  men 
of  her  house,  and  spake  unto  them, 
saying.  See,  he  hatn  brought  in  an 
He-brew  unto  us  to  mock  us ; he 
came  in  unto  me  to  lie  with  me, 
and  I cried  with  a ^loud  voice:

heard  that  I lifted  up  my  voice 
and  cried,  that  he  left  his  garment 
with  me,  and  fled,  and  got  him  out. 

16  And  she  laid  up  his  garment 
by  her,  until  his  lord  came  home.

8 And  they  said  unto  him,  “We 
have  dreamed  a dream,  and  there 
is  no  interpreter  of  it.  And  J o-§eph

said  unto  them,  not  interpreta- 
tions belong  to  God'll  tell  me  them, 

^9^And^the  chief  butler  told  his 
dream  to  Jo-seph,  and  said  to  him, 

In  my  dream,  behold,  a vine  was 

before  me;  , . ,, 

10  And  in  the  vine  tvere  ihvQQ 
branches : and  it  was  as  though 
it  budded,  and  her  blossoms  shot 
forth;  and  the  clusters  thereof 
brought  forth  ripe  grapes: 

1 1 And  Pha-raoh’s  cup  was  in  my 
hand:  and  I took  the  grapes,  and 
pressed  them  into  Pha-raoh  s cw, 
and  I gave  the  cup  into  Pha-raoh  s 

12  And  Jo'-sgph  said  unto  him, 
®This  is  the  interpretation  of  it : ihe 
three  branches  '^are  three  days : 

13  Yet  within  three  days  shall 
Pha-raoh  "lift^  up  thine  head,  and 
restore  thee  unto  thy  place : and 
thou  shalt  deliver  Pha-raoh  s cup 
into  his  hand,  after  the  former  man- 
ner when  thou  wast  his  butler. 

14  But  ^think^  on  me  when  it 
shall  be  well  with  thee,  and  ^ shew 
kindness,  I pray  thee  unto  me, 
and  make  mention  of  me  unto 
Phah*aoh,  and  bring  me  out  of 
this  house : 

15  For  indeed  I was  stolen  away 
out  of  the  land  of  the  He-brews : 
*and  here  also  have  I done  nothing 
that  they  should  put  me  into  ohe 

dungeon.  , . ^ , xi,  y 

16  When  the  chief  baker  saw  that 
the  interpretation  was  good,  he 
said  unto  Jo-seph,  I also  was  in  my 
dream,  and,  behold,  I had  three 
^ white  baskets  on  my  head: 

17  And  in  the  uppermost  basket 

there  was  of  all  manner  of  bake- 
meats  for  PhaYaoh ; and  the  birds 
did  eat  them  out  of  the  basket 
upon  my  head.  i i i 

18  And  Jo-seph  answered  and  said, 
"This  is  the  interpretation  thereof- 
The  three  baskets  are  three  days: 

19  5 Yet  within  three  days  shall 

Pha-raoh  ®lift  up  thy  head  from  off 
thee,  and  shall  hang  thee  on  a tree ; 
and  the  birds  shall  eat  thy  nesh 
from  off  thee.  i 

20 11  And  it  came  to  pass  the  third 
day,  which  was  PhaYaoh’s  '‘birth- 
day, that  he  “made  a feast  unto  all 
his  servants:  and  he  '''lifted’^  up 
the  head  of  the  chief  butler  and  of 
the  chief  baker  among  his  servants. 

21  And  he  * restored  the  chief 

butler  unto  his  butlership_ again; 
and  “he  gave  the  cup  into  Phah-aoh  s 
band:  , , , . i 

22  But  he  "hanged  the  chief  baker : 
as  Jo-§gph  had  interpreted  to  them.

The  famine  beginneth. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end 
.ix  of  two  full  years,  that  Pha- 
raoh dreamed : and,  behold,  he 
stood  by  the  river. 

2 And,  behold,  there  came  up  out 

of  the  river  seven  well  favoured 
kine  and  fatfleshed ; and  they  fed 
in  a meadow.  . 

3 And,  behold,  seven  other  kine 
came  up  after  them  out  of  the 
river,  ill  favoured  and  leanfleshed: 
and  stood  by  the  other  kine  upon 
the  brink  of  the  river. 

4 And  the  ill  favoured  and  lean- 
fleshed kine  did  eat  up  the  seven 
well  favoured  and  fat  kine.  So 
PhaYaoh  awoke. 

5 And  he  slept  and  dreamed  the 
second  time : and,  behold,  seven 
ears  of  corn  came  up  upon  one 
stalk,  ^rank  and  good.  ^ 

6 And,  behold,  seven  thin  ears  and 
blasted  with  the  east  wind  sprung 
up  after  them. 

7 And  the  seven  thin  ears  devoured 

the  seven  rank  and  full  ears.  And 
PhaYaoh  awoke,  and,  behold,  it  was 
a dream.  . 

8 And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 

morning  Yhat  his  spirit  was  trou- 
bled; and  he  sent  and  called  for 
all  *the  magicians  of  E-gypt,  and 
all  the  ^wise  men  thereof:  and 
PhaYaoh  told  them  his  dream;  but 
there  was  none  that  could  interpret 
them  unto  PhaYaoh.  , . „ , , 

9 H Then  spake  the  chief  butler 
unto  PhaYaoh,  saying,  I do  remem- 
ber my  faults  this  day : 

10  PhaYaoh  was  wroth  with  his 
servants,  “and  put  me  in  ward  in 
the  captain  of  the  guards  house, 
both  me  and  the  chief  baker: 

11  And  ^we  dreamed  a dream  in 
one  night,  I and  he;  we  dreamed 
each  man  according  to  the  inter- 
pretation of  his  dream. 

12  And  there  was  there_with  us 

a young  man,  an  He-brew,  “serv- 
ant to  the  captain  of  the  guard ; 
and  we  told  nim,  and  he  *inte^ 
preted  to  us  our  dreams;  to  each 
man  according  to  his  dream  he 
did  interpret.  . 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  ^as  he  in- 
terpreted to  us,  so  it  was ; .b® 

restored  unto  mine  office,  and  him 
he  hanged.  , , , . i 

14  H ^Then  PhaYaoh  sent  and 
called  JoYeph,  and  they  **  brought 
him  hastily  "out  of  the  dungeon;

and  he  shaved  himself,  and  changed 
his  raiment,  and  came  in  unto 
Pha-raoh. 

15  And  Pha-raoh  said  unto  Jo-seph, 
I have  dreamed  a dream,  and  there 
is  none  that  can  interpret  it:  *and 
I have  heard  say  of  thee,  that  Hhou 
canst  understand  a dream  to  inter- 
pret it. 

16  And  Jo-seph  answered  Pha- 
raoh, saying,  "^It  is  not  in  me:  ®God 
shall  give  Pha-raoh  an  answer  of 
peace. 

17  And  Pha-raoh  said  unto  Jo-seph, 
■''In  my  dream,  behold,  I stood  upon 
the  bank  of  the  river : 

1 8 And,  behold,  there  came  up  out 
of  the  river  seven  kine,  fatfleshed 
and  well  favoured ; and  they  fed  in 
a meadow : 

19  And,  behold,  seven  other  kine 
came  up  after  them,  poor  and  very 
ill  favoured  and  leanfleshed,  such 
as  I never  saw  in  all  the  land  of 
E-gypt  for  badness: 

20  And  the  lean  and  the  ill  fa- 
voured kine  did  eat  up  the  first 
seven  fat  kine : 

2 1 And  when  they  had  ® eaten  them 
up,  it  could  not  be  knov/n  that  they 
had  eaten  them ; but  they  were  still 
ill  favoured,  as  at  the  beginning. 
So  I awoke. 

22  And  I saw  in  my  drearn,  and, 
behold,  seven  ears  came  up  in  one 
stalk,  full  and  good: 

23  And,  behold,  seven  ears,  '^with- 
ered, thin,  and  blasted  with  the 
east  \tind,  sprung  up  after  them: 

24  ilnd  the  thin  ears  devoured 
the  seven  good  ears : and  ”"I  told 
this  unto  the  magicians  ; but  there 
was  none  that  could  declare  it 
to  me. 

25  U And  Jo-seph  said  unto  Pha- 
raoh, The  dream  of  Pha-raoh  is 
one : ^God  hath  shewed  Pha-raoh 
what  he  is  about  to  do. 

26  The  seven  good  kine  are  seven 
years ; and  the  seven  good  ears  are 
seven  years : the  dream  is  one, 

27  And  the  seven  thin  and  ill 
favoured  kine  that  came  up  after 
them  are  seven  years ; and  the 
seven  empty  ears  blasted  with  the 
east  wind  shall  be  “seven  years  of 
famine.  ^ 

28  ^This  is  the  thing  which  I have 
spoken  unto  Pha-raoh : What  God 
is  about  to  do  he  sheweth  unto 
Pha-raoh. 

29  Behold,  there  come  ^ seven 
years  of  great  plenty  throughout 
all  the  land  of  E-gypt: 

30  And  there  shall  “arise  after 
VBem  seven  years  of  famine;  and 
all  the  plenty  shall  be  forgotten  in

“shall  consume  tiie  land  ; 

31  And  the  plenty  shall  not  be 
known  in  the  land  by  reason  of 
that  famine  following ; for  it  shall 
he  very  ^grievous.  . 

32  And  for  that  the  dream  was 
doubled  unto  Pha-raoh  twice ; it  is 
because  the  ® thing  7s  ^established 
by  God,  and  God  will  shortly  bring 
it  to  pass. 

33  Now  therefore  let  Pha-raoh  look 
out  a man  discreet  and  wise,  and  set 
him  over  the  land  of  E^ypt. 

34  Let  Pha-raoh  do  this,  and  let 
him  appoint  officers  over  the  land, 
and  ^'take  up  the  fifth  part  of  the 
land  of  E-gypt  in  the  seven  plen- 
teous years. 

35  And  'det  them  gather  all  the 
food  of  those  good  years  that  come, 
and  lay  up  corn  under  the  hand  of 
Pha-raoh,  and  let  them  keep  food 
in  the  cities. 

36  And  that  fpod  shall  be  for  store 
to  the  land  against  the  seven  years 
of  famine,  which  shall  be  in  the 
land  of  E-gypt;  that  the  land  *per- 
ish  ®not  through  the  famine. 

37  H And  * the  thing  was  good  in 
the  eyes  of  Phab^aoh,  and  in  the 
eyes  of  all  his  servants. 

38  And  Phab’aoh  said  unto  his 
servants.  Can  we  find  such  a one  as 
this  is,  a man  dn  whom  the  Spirit 
of  God  is? 

39  And  Pha-raoh  said  unto  J o-seph. 
Forasmuch  as  God  hath  shewed 
thee  all  this,  there  is  none  so  dis- 
creet and  wise  as  thou  art: 

40  “Thou  shalt  be  over  my  house, 
and  according  unto  thy  word  shall 
all  my  people  ^be  ruled : only  in  the 
throne  will  I be  greater  than  thou. 

41  And  Phab’aohsaid  unto  Jo-.seph, 
See^  I have  “set  thee  over  all  the  land 
of  E-gypt. 

42  And  Pha-raoh  ®took  off  his  ring 
from  his  hand,  and  put  it  upon  Jo- 
seph’s hand,  and  ’’arrayed  him  in 
vestures  of  ^fine  linen,  *and  put  a 
gold  chain  about  his  neck; 

43  And  he  made  him  to  ride  in 
the  second  chariot  which  he  had ; 
’'and  they  cried  before  him,  ^^Bow 
the  knee : and  he  made  him  ruler 
"'over  all  the  land  of  E-gypt. 

44  And  Pha-raoh  said  unto  Jo-seph, 
I am  Phab’aoh,  and  without  thee 
shall  no  man  lift  up  his  hand  or 
foot  in  all  the  land  of  E-gypt. 

45  And  Pha-raoh  called  Jo-seph’s 
name  ^Zaphmath-pa-a-ne-ah  ; and 
he  gave  him  to  wife  As-e-nath  the 
daughter  of  Pot-i-phe-rah  Spriest  of

the  land  of  E-gypt.

46  H And  Jo^seph  was  thirty  years 
old  when  he  “stood  before  Pha-raoh 
king  of  E^gypt.  And  Jo:seph  went 
out  from  the  presence  ot  Pha-raoh 
and  went  throughout  all  tne  land 
of  E-gypt. 

47  And  in  the  seven  plenteous 
years  the  earth  brought  forth  by

48  And  he  gathered  up  all  the  food 
of  the  seven  years,  winch  were  in 
the  land  of  E^gypt,  and  laid  up  the 
food  in  the  cities : the  food  ot  the 
field,  which  was  vonnd  about  every 
city,  laid  he  up  in  the  same. 

49  And  Jb-seph  gathered  corn  "as 
the  sand  of  the  sea,  very  much, 
until  he  left  numbering ; for  it  ivas 
without  number. 

50  '‘And  unto  Jo-sbph  were  born

mine came,  which  As-e-nath  the

On  bare  unto  him.  ^ 

51  And  Jo-seph  called  the  name 

of  the  firstborn  ■^Ma-nas-seh : tor 
God,  said  he,  hath  made  me  forget 
all  my  toil,  and  all  my  fathers 
house.  - . , 

52  And  the  name  of  the  second 
called  he  ^E-phra-im  : For  God  hath 
caused  me  to  be /fruitful  in  the 
land  of  my  affliction. 

53  H And  the  seven  years  of  plen- 
teousness, that  was  in  the  land  ot 
E-gypt,  were  ended. 

54  'And  the  seven  years  of  dearth 
began  to  come,  "^according  as  Jo- 
seph had  said;  and  the  dearth 
was  in  all  lands;  but  m all  the 
land  of  E-gypt  there  was  bread. 

55  And  when  all  the  land  of  E-gypt 

was  famished,  the  people  cried  to 
Pha-raoh  for  bread ; and  Pha-raoh 
said  unto  all  the  E-gyp-tians.  Go 
unto  Jb-seph;  what  he  saith  to 
you,  do.  . 

56  And  the  famine  was  oyer  a I 
the  face  of  the  earth  : And  Jb-seph 
opened  ^all  the  storehouses,  and 
“sold  unto  the  E-gyp;tians ; and  the 
famine  waxed  sore  in  the  land  of 
E-gypt. 

57  «And  all  countries  came  into

3 H And  Jb-sgph’s  ten  brethren 
v/ent  down  to  buy  corn  in  E-gypt. 

4 But  Ben-ja-min,  JbGephs  bro- 
ther, Ja-ebb  sent  not  with  his  bre- 
thren ; for  he  said,  "Lest  peradven- 
ture  mischief  befall  him. 

5 And  the  sons  of  Is-ra-el  came  to 

buy  corn  among  those  that  came : 
for  the  famine  was  in  the  land  ot 
Ca-naan.  , , , 

6 And  JbGeph  was  the  governor 
•'^over  the  land,  and  he  it  was  that 
sold  to  all  the  people  of  the  land : 
and  Jb-s6ph’s  brethren  came,  and 
•''bowed  down  themselves  oetore 
him  with  their  faces  to  the  eartn. 

7 And  JbGeph  saw  his  brethren, 
and  he  knew  them,  but  made  him- 
self strange  unto  them,  and  spake 
hnughly  unto  them;  and  he  said 
unto  them,  Whence  come  ye  ? And 
they  said.  From  the  land  of  -Ca-naan 
to  buy  food. 

8 And  JbGbph  knew  his  brethren, 
but  they  knew  not  him. 

9 And  JbGeph  'remembered  the 
dreams  which  he  dreamed  of  them, 
and  said  unto  them,  Yq  are  spies; 
to  see  the  nakedness  of  the  land  ye 

10  And  they  said  unto  him.  Nay, 
my  lord,  but  to  buy  food  are  thy 
servants  come. 

1 1 We  are  all  one  man  s sons  ; we 

are  true  men,  thy  servants  are  no

12  And  he  said  unto  them.  Nay, 

but  to  see  the  nakedness  of  tne  land 
ye  are  come.  . , p 

13  And  they  said.  Thy  servants 
are  twelve  brethren,  the  sons  ot 
one  man  in  the  land  of  Ca-na^  ; 
and,  behold,  the  youngest  is  this 
day  with  our  father,  and  one 

14  And  Jb-sbph  said  unto  them. 
That  is  it  that  I spake  unto  you. 
saying.  Ye  are  spies  : 

15  Hereby  ye  shall  be  proved ; ^By 
the  life  of  Pha-raoh  ye  shall  not  go 
forth  hence,  except  your  youngest

truth  in  you : or  else  by  the  life  ol

17  And  he ''put  them  all  together 
into  ward  three  days.

third  day.  This  do,  and  live ; ^for  I

Their  return  to  Jacob, 


Jacob’s  sons  impriso7iecl. 

19  If  ye  be  true  men,  let  one  of  your 

brethren  be  bound  in  the  house  of 
your  prison : go  ye,  carry  corn  for 
the  famine  of  your  houses  : 

20  But  *bring  your  youngest  bro- 
ther unto  me ; so  shall  your  v/ords 
be  verified,  and  ye  shall  not  die. 
And  they  did  so. 

21  ^ And  they  said  one  to  another, 
‘*VVe  are  verily  guilty  concerning 
our  brother,  in  that  we  saw  the 
anguish  of  his  soul,  when  he  be- 
sought us,  and  we  would  not  hear ; 
f therefore  is  this  disti'ess  come  up- 
on us. 

22  And  Reu-ben  ansv/ered  them, 
saying,  S’ Spake  1 not  unto  you,  say- 
ing, Do  not  sin  against  the  child ; 
and  ye  would  not  hear'?  therefore, 
behold,  also  his  blood  is  required. 

23  And  they  knew  not  that  Jo-seph 
understood  them;  for  ^he  spake  un- 
to them  by  an  interpreter. 

24  And  he  turned  himself  about 
from  them,  and  wept ; and  returned 
to  them  again,  and  communed  with 
them,  and  took  from  them  Sim-e-on, 
and  bound  him  before  their  eyes. 

25  11  Then  Jo-seph  commanded  to 
fill  their  sacks  with  corn,  and  to 
restore  every  man’s  money  into  his 
sack,  and  to  give  them  provision 
for  the  way:  and  ’^thus  did  he  unto 
them. 

26  And  they  laded  their  asses  with 
the  corn,  and  departed  thence. 

27  And  as  "one  of  them  opened 
his  sack  to  give  his  ass  provender 
in  the  inn,  he  espied  his  money ; 
for,  behold,  it  was  in  his  sack’s 
mouth. 

28  And  he  said  unto  his  brethren. 
My  money  is  restored  ; and,  lo,  it  is 
even  in  my  sack : and  their  heart 
^failed  them,  and  they  were  afraid, 
saying  one  to  another.  What  is  this 
that  God  hath  done  unto  us  % 

29  H And  they  came  unto  Ja-c5b 
their  father  unto  the  land  of  -Ca- 
naan, and  told  him  all  that  befell 
unto  them ; saying, 

30  The  man,  who  is^  the  lord  of  the 
land,  spake  “roughly  to  us,  and 
took  us  for  spies  of  the  country. 

31  And  we  said  unto  him.  We  are 
true  men ; we  are  no  spies  : 

32  We  he  twelve  brethren,  sons 
of  our  father;  one  is  not,  and  the 
youngest  is  this  day  with  our  father 
in  the  land  of  Ca-naan. 

33  And  the  man,  the  lord  of  the 
country,  said  unto  us,  "'Hereby  shall 
I know  that  ye  are  true  men ; leave 
one  of  your  brethren  here  with  me, 
and  take  food  for  the  famine  of  your 
households,  and  be  gone  : 

34  And  bring  your  youngest  bro- 


ther unto  me:  then  shall  I know 
that  ye  are  no  spies,  but  that  ye 
are  true  men : so  will  I deliver  you 
your  brother,  and  ye  shall  “traffick 
in  the  land.  _ 

35  II  And  it  came  to  pass  as  they 
emptied  their  sacks,  that,  behold, 
"every  man’s  bundle  of  money  was 
m his  sack : and  when  both  they 
and  their  father  saw  the  bundles  of 
money,  they  were  afraid. 

36  And  Ja-eCb  their  father  said 
unto  them.  Me  have  ye  "bereaved 
of  my  children:  Jo-seph  is  not,  and 
8im^e-5n  is  not,  and  ye  will  take 
Ben-ja-min  away:  all  these  things 
are  against  me. 

37  And  Reu-hgn  spake  unto  his 
father,  saying.  Slay  my  two  sons, 
if  I bring  him  not  to  thee : deliver 
him  into  my  hand,  and  I will  bring 
him  to  thee  again. 

38  And  he  said.  My  son  shall  not 
go  down  with  you  ; for  "his  brother 
is  dead,  and  be  is  left  alone:  *if 
mischief  befall  him  by  the  way  in 
the  which  ye  go,  then  shall  ye 
^ bring  down  my  gray  hairs  with 
sorrow  to  the  grave.

1 Jacob  is  hardly  persuaded  to  send  Benjamin.  15  Joseph 

entertaineth  his  brethren.  31  He  nxdketh  them  a feast. 

AND  the  famine  was  ""sore  in  the 
A land. 

2 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they 
had  eaten  up  the  corn  which  they 
had  brought  out  of  E-gypt,  their 
father  said  unto  them.  Go  again, 
buy  us  a little  food. 

3 And  Ju-dah  spake  unto  him, 
saying.  The  man  ^did  solemnly  pro- 
test unto  us,  saying.  Ye  shall  not 
see  my  face,  except  your  ^brother 
be  with  you. 

4 If  thou  wilt  send  our  brother 
with  us,  we  will  go  down  and  buy 
thee  food : 

5 But  if  thou  wilt  not  send  him, 
we  will  not  go  down : for  the  man 
said  unto  us.  Ye  shall  not  see  my 
face,  except  your  brother  be  with 
you. 

6 And  Is-ra-el  said.  Wherefore  dealt 
ye  so  ill  with  me,  as  to  tell  the  man 
whether  ye  had  yet  a brother'? 

7 And  they  said.  The  man  ®asked 
us  straitly  of  our  state,  and  of  our 
kindred,  saying.  Is  your  father  yet 
alive  'I  have  ye  another^  brother  ? 
and  we  told  him  according  to  the 
®tenpr  of  these  words : could  we 
certainly  know  that  he  would  say, 
Bring  your  brother  down '?  ,,

thou,  and  also  our  little  ones. 

9 I will  be  surety  for  him  ; ot  my 

hand  shalt  thou  require  him  : “it  i 
bring  him  not  unto  thee,  and  set 
him  before  thee,  then  let  me  bear 
the  blame  for  ever:  , , . 

10  For  except  we  had  lingered, 

surely  now  we  had  returned  this 
second  time.  ^ ^ i 

11  And  their  father  Is-ra-el  said 
unto  them.  If  it  must  be  so  now,  do 
this ; take  of  the  best  fruits  in  the 
land  in  your  vessels,  and  ‘'carry 
down  the  man  a present,  a little 
‘^balm,  and  a little  honey,  spices, 
and  myrrh,  nuts,  and  almonds : 

12  And  take  double  money  in 

your  hand  ; and  the  money  ®fhat 
was  brought  again  in  the  rnouth 
of  your  sacks,  carry  it  again  in 
your  hand  ; peradventure  it  was 
an  oversight;  ^ . 

13  Take  also  your  brother,  and 
arise,  go  again  unto  the  man : 

14  And  God  Almighty  give  you 
mercy  before  the  man,  that  he  may 
send  away  your  other  brother,  and 
Ben-ja-min.  '^If^  I be  bereaved  of 
my  children,  I am  bereaved. 

15  ^ And  the  men  took  that  pres- 

ent, and  they  took  double  money 
in  their  hand,  and  Ben-ja-min ; and 
rose  up,  and  went  down  to  E-gypt, 
and  stood  before  Jo-seph.  ^ 

16  And  when  Jo-seph  saw  Ben- 
ja-min  with  them,  he  said  to  the 

ruler  of  his  house.  Bring  these 
men  home,  and  “slay,  and  make 
ready ; for  these  men  shall  ’dine 
with  me  at  noon. 

17  And  the  man  did  as  Jo-seph 
bade  ; and  the  man  brought  the 
men  into  J o-seph’s  house. 

18  And  the  men  were  afraid,  be^ 
cause  they  were  brought  into  Jo- 
seph’s house ; and  they  said.  Because 
of  the  money  that  was  returned  in 
our  sacks  at  the  first  time  are  we 
brought  in;^  that  he  may  ®seek 
occasion  against  us,  and  fall  upon 
us,  and  take  us  for  bondmen,  and 
our  asses. 

19  And  they  came  near  to  the 
steward  of  J o-seijh’s  house,  and  they 
communed  with  him  at  the  door  of 
the  house, 

20  And  said,  O sir,  ’'we  _ came 
indeed  down  at  the  first  time  to 
buy  food : 

21  And  *it  came  to  pass,  when 
we  came  to  the  inn,  that  we  opened 
our  sacks,  and,  behold,  every  man’s 
money  was  in  the  mouth  of  his 
sack,  our  money  in  full  weight : 
and  we  have  brought  it  again  in 
our  hand.

25  And  they  made  ready  the  pres- 
ent against  Jo-seph  came  at  noon: 
for  they  heard  that  they  should  eat 
bread  there. 

26  And  when  Jo-seph  came  home, 

they  brought  him  the  present  which 
was  in  their  hand  into  the  house, 
and  bowed  themselves  to  him  to 
the  earth.  . 7 • 

27  And  he  asked  them  of  their 
welfare,  and  said,  ^Is  your  father 

well,  the  old  man  ^01  whom  ye 
spake'?  Is  he  yet  alive '? 

28  And  they  answered.  Thy  serv- 
ant our  father  is  in  good  health, 
he  is  yet  alive.  *And  they  bowed 
down  their  heads,  and  made  obei- 

SclHC0* 

29  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
saw  his  brother  Ben-ja-min,  ^his 
mother’s  son,  and  said.  Is  this  your 
younger  brother,  ^ of  whom  ye 
spake  unto  me"?  And  he  said, 
God  be  gracious  unto  thee,  my 
son. 

30  And  Jo-seph  made  haste;  tor 
”his  bowels  did  yearn  upon  his 
brother : and  he  sought  where  to 
weep  ; and  he  entered  into  his 
chamber,  and  “wept  there. 

31  And  he  washed  his  face,  and 
went  out,  and  refrained  himself, 
and  said.  Set  on  ^bread. 

32  And  they  set  on  for  him  by 
himself,  and  for  them  by  them- 
selves, and  for  the  E-gyp%ans,, 
which  did  eat  with  him,  by  them- 
selves : because  the  E-gyp- tian? 
might  not  eat  bread  with  the  He- 
brews ; for  that  is  ®an  abomina- 
tion iinto  the  E-gyp-tians. 

33  And  they  sat  Before  him,  the 
firstborn  according  to  his  birth- 
right, and  the  youngest  according 
to  his  youth:  and  the  men  mar- 
velled one  at  another. 

34  And  he  took  and  sent  messes 
unto  them  from  before  him : _ but 
Ben-ja-min’s  mess  was  ^five  times 
so  much  as  any  of  their’s.  And 
they  drank,  and  ^were  merry  with 
him. 


Jose2')h^s  'policy 


GENESIS,  44. 


to  stay  his  hreihren. 


CHAPTER  44. 

1 Joseph's  policy  to  stay  his  brethren.  14  Judah's 
humble  supplication  to  Joseph. 

^ND  he  commanded  Hhe  steward 
x\_  of  his  house,  saying.  Fill  the 
men’s  sacks  with  food,  as  much  as 
they  can  carry,  and  put  every  man’s 
money  in  his  sack’s  mouth. 

2 And  put  my  cup,  the  silver  cup, 
ill  the  sack’s  mouth  of  the  youngest, 
and  liis  corn  money.  And  he  did 
according  to  the  word  that  Jo-seph 
had  spoken. 

3 As  soon  as  the  morning  was 
light,  the  men  were  sent  away,  they 
and  their  asses. 

4-  And  when  they  were  gone  out 
of  ^ the  city,  and  not  yet  far  off, 
Jo-seph  said  unto  his  steward.  Up, 
follow  after  the  men ; and  when 
thou  dost  overtake  them,  say  unto 
them,  Wherefore  have  ye  rewarded 
evil  for  good  ? . . 

b Is  not  this  it  in  which  my  lord 
drinketh,  and  whereby  indeed  he 
‘^divineth'?  ye  have  done  evil  in  so 
doing. 

6 IT  And  he  overtook  them,  and  he 
spake  unto  them  these  same  words. 

7 And  they  said  unto  him.  Where- 
fore saith  my  lord  these  words'?  God 
forbid  that  thy  servants  should  do 
according  to  this  thing  : 

8 Behold,  •''the  money,  which  we 
found  in  our  sacks’  mouths,  we 
brought  again  unto  thee  out  of  the 
land  of  -Ca-naan  : how  then  should 
we  steal  out  of  thy  lord’s  house 
silver  or  gold? 

9 With  whomsoever  of  thy  serv- 
ants it  be  found,  /‘both  let  him 
die,  and  we  also  will  be  my  lord’s 
bondmen. 

10  And  he  said.  Now  also  let  it  he 
according  unto  your  words : he  with 
whom  it  is  found  shall  be  my  serv- 
ant ; and  ye  shall  be  blameless. 

11  Then  they  speedily  took  down 
every  man  his  sack  to  the  ground, 
and  opened  every  man  his  sack. 

12  And  he  searched,  and  began  at 
the  eldest,  and  left  at  the  youngest : 
and  the  cup  was  found  in  Ben-ja- 
min’s  sack. 

13  Then  they  '"I’ent  their  clothes, 
and  laded  every  man  his  ass,  and 
returned  to  the  city. 

14  U And  Ju-dah  and  his  brethren 
came  to  Jo-seph’s  house ; for  he  was 
yet  there : and  they  ® fell  before 
him  on  the  ground.  ^ 

15  And  Jo-seph  said  unto  them, 
What  deed  is  this  that  ye  have 
done'?  wot  ye  not  that  such  a man 
as  I can  certainly  ^divine'? 

16  And  J u-dah  said,  What  shall  we 
say  unto  my  lord'?  what  shall  we

speak?  or  how  shall  we  clear  our- 
selves? God  hath  found  out  the 
iniquity  of  thy  servants : behold, 
“we  are  my  lord’s  servants,  both 
we,  and  he  also  with  whom  the  cup 
is  found. 

17  And  he  said,  ^God  forbid  that 
I should  do  so : but  the  man  in 
whose  hand  the  cup  is  found,  he 
shall  be  my  servant ; and  as  for 
you,  get  you  up  in  peace  unto  your 
father. 

18  H Then  Ju-dah  came  near  unto 
him,  and  said.  Oh  my  lord,  let  thy 
servant,  I pray  thee,  speak  a word 
in  my  lord’s  ears,  and  ‘'let  not  thine 
anger  burn  against  thy  servant: 
for  thou  art  even  as  Pha-raoh. 

19  My  lord  asked  his  servants, 
saying,  Have  ye  a father,  or  a 
brother  ? 

20  And  we  said  unto  my  lord.  We 
have  a father,  an  old^  man,  and  ‘^a 
child  of  his  old  age,  a little  one  ; and 
his  brother  is  dead,  and  he^  alone  is 
left  of  his  mother,  and  his  father 
loveth  him. 

21  And  thou  saidst  unto  thy  serv- 
ants, ® Bring  him  down  unto  me, 
that  I may  set  mine  eyes  upon  him. 

22  And  v/e  said  unto  my  lord.  The 
lad  cannot  leave  his  father  : for  if 
he  should  leave  his  father,  his  father 
would  die. 

23  And  thou  saidst  unto  thy  serv- 
ants, ^Except  your  youngest  bro- 
ther come  down  v/ith  you,  ye  shall 
see  my  face  no  more. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass  when  we 
came  up  unto  thy  servant  my  father, 
we  told  him  the  words  of  my  lord. 

25  And  *our  father  said.  Go  again, 
and  buy  us  a little  food. 

26  And  we  said.  We  cannot  go 
down : if  our  youngest  brother  be 
with  us,  then  will  v/e  go  down : for 
we  may  not  see  the  man’s  face, 
except  our  youngest  brother  be 
with  us. 

27  And  thy  servant  my  father  said 
unto  us.  Ye  know  that  *my  wife 
bare  me  two  sons: 

28  And  the  one  went  out  from 
me,  and  I said,  ^ Surely  he  is  torn 
in  pieces  ; and  I saw  him  not  since : 

29  And  if  ye  ”take  this  also  from 
me,  and^  mischief  befall  him,  ye 
shall  bring  down  my  gray  hairs 
with  sorrow  to  the  grave. 

30  Now  therefore  when  1 come  to 
thy  servant  my  father,  and  the  lad 
be  not  with  us;  seeing  that  -^his  life 
is  bound  up  in  the  lad’s  life ; 

31  It  shall  come  to  pass,  when  he 
seeth  that  the  lad  is  not  with  us,. 
that  he  will  die : and  thy  servants 
shall  bring  down  the  gray  haii-s  o^

thy  servant  our  father  with  sorrow

32  For  thy  servant  became  surety 
for  the  lad  unto  my  father,  saying, 
“If  I bring  him  not  unto  thee,  then 
I shall  bear  the  blame  to  my  father 
for  0V01* 

33  Now  therefore,  I pray  thee,  ^let 
thy  servant  abide  instead  ot  the  lad 
a bondman  to  my  lord  ; and  let  the 
lad  go  up  with  his  brethren. 

34-  For  how  shall  I go  up  to  my 
father,  and  the  lad  he  not  with  me  . 
lest  peradventure  I see  the  evil  that 
shall  ^come  on  my  father.

thy  son  Jo-s6ph,  God  hath  made 
me  lord  of  all  E-gypt : come  down 
unto  me,  tarry  not : 

10  And  ’“thou  shalt  dwell  in  the 
land  of  Go-sh6n,  and  thou  shalt  be 


near  unto  me,  thou,  and  thy  chil- 
dren, and  thy  children’s  children, 


and  thy  flocks,  and  thy  herds,  and 
all  that  thou  hast : 

1 1 And  there  will  I nourish  thee ; 

for  yet  there  are  five  yeai's  of  fam- 
ine; lest  thou,  and  thy  house- 
hold, and  all  that  thou  hast,  come 
to  poverty.  , 

1 2 And,  behold,  your  eyes  see,  and 

the  eyes  of  my  brother  Ben-ja-min, 
that  it  is  ‘’my  mouth  that  speaketh 
unto  you.  , „ „ ^ n 

13  And  ye  shall  tell  my  father  of 

all  my  glory  in  E-gypt,  and  of  all 
that  ye  have  seen;  and  ye  shall 
haste  and  bring  down  my  father 
hither.  , . , ,, 

14  And  he  fell  upon  his  brother 
Ben-ja-min’s  neck,  and  wept ; and 
Benda-min  wept  upon  his  neck. 

15  Moreover  he  kissea  all  his  bre- 

thren, and  wept  upon  them : and 
after  that  his  brethren  talked  with 
him.  ,,  „ 

16  H And  the  fame  thereof  was 
heard  in  PhaTaoh’s  house,  saying, 
Jo-seph’s  brethren  are  come:  and 
it  ^pleased  Phab^aoh  well,  and  his 
servants. 

1 7 And  Pha-raoh  said  unto  J o-sepli. 
Say  unto  thy  brethren.  This  do  ye  ; 
lade  your  beasts,  and  go,  get  you 
unto  the  land  of  -Ca-naan ; 

18  And  take  your  father  and  your 
households,  and  come  unto  me:  and 
I will  give  you  the  good  of  the  land 
of  E-gypt,  and  ye  shall  eat  -^the  fat 

of  the  land.  i i 1 • 

19  Now  thou  art  commanded,  this 
do  ye  ; take  you  wagons  out  of  the 
land  of  E^ypt  for  your  little  ones, 
and  for  your  wives,  and  bring  your 
father,  and  come. 

20  Also  ® regard  not  your  stutt ; tor 

the  good  of  all  the  land  of  E-gypt  is 
your’s.  , , , ^ 

21  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
did  so:  and  Jo-seph  gave  them 
wagons,  according  to  the  com- 
mandment_  of  Phab'aoh,  and  gave 
them  provision  for  the  way. 

22  To  all  of  them  he  gave  each 

man  changes  of  raiment;  but  to 
Ben-ja-min  he  gave  three  hundi-ed 
pieces  of  silver,  and  *five  changes  oi 
raiment.  , „ , , , 

23  And  to  his  father  he  sent  alter 
this  manner ; ten  as^ses  ‘•’laden  witn 
the  good  things  of  E-gypt,  and  ten 
she  asses  laden  with  corn  and  bread 
and  meat  for  his  father  by  the  way. 

24  So  he  sent  his  brethren  away, 

and  they  departed:  and  he  said 
unto  them.,  See  tha  t ye  fall  not  out 
by  the  way.  . 

25  H And  they  went  up  out  ot

27  And  they  told  him  all  the  words

them  and  when  he  saw  the  wagons 
which  Jo-seph  had  sent  to  carry

28  And  Is-ra-el  said.  It  is  enough ; 
Jo-seph  my  son  is  yet  alive : I will 
go  and  see  him  before  I die.

XX  all  that  he  had,  and  came  to 
^Be-er-she-ba,  and  offered  sacrifices 
^unto  the  God  of  his  father  Rsaac. 

2 And  God  spake  unto  Ish’a-el  *in

5 And  *Ja-€5b  rose  up  from  Be-er-

CHAPTER  47. 

1 Joseph  presenteth  five  of  his  brethren,  7 and  his  father, 
before  Pharaoh.  11  Be  giveth  them  habitation  and 
maintenance.  13  Be  getteth  all  the  Egyptians'  money,

seph to  bury  him  with  his  fathers. 

Then  Jo-seph  ^^came  and  told 
Pha-raoh*  and  said.  My  father 
and  my  brethren,  and  their  flocks, 
and  their  herds,  and  all  that  they 
have,  are  come  out  of  the  land  of 
■GaMaan ; and,_  behold,  they  are  in 
’’the  land  of  Go-shen. 

2  And  he  took  some  of  his  bre- 
thren, even  five  men,  and  ^presented 
them  unto  Pha-raoh. 

3  And  Pha-raoh  said  unto  his  bre- 
thren, “What  is  your  occupation  1 
And  they  said  unto  Pha-raoh,  *Thy 
servants  are  shepherds,  both  we, 
and  also  our  fathers. 

4  They  said  moreover  unto  Pha- 
raoh, ^For  to  sojourn  in  the  land 
are  we  come ; for  thy  servants  have 
no  pasture  for  their  flocks;  Hor  the 
famine  is  sore  in  the  land  of  Ga- 
naan:  now  therefore,  v/e  pray  thee, 
let  thy  servants  “dwell  in  the  land 
of  Go-shgn.  ^ 

5  And  Pha-raoh  spake  unto  Jo- 
seph, saying.  Thy  father  and  thy 
bretnren  are  come  unto  thee : 

6  ^The  land  of  E-gypt  is  before 
thee ; in  the  best  of  the  land  make 
thy  father  and  brethren  to  dwell ; 

‘'in  the  land  of  Go-sh6n  let  them 
dwell : and  if  thou  knowest  any 
men  of  activity  among  them,  then 
make  them  rulers  over  my  cattle.

‘'The  days  of  the  years  of  my  pil-

years : ‘'few  and  evil  have  the  days

•^have  not  attained  unto  the  days  of

in  the  days  of  their  pilgrimage. 

10  And  JMc5b  ^blessed  Pha^raoh, 
and  went  out  from  before  Pha^raoh. 

11^  And  Jo-seph  placed  his  father 
and  his  brethren,  and  gaye  them  a 
possession  in  the  land  of  E-gypt,  in 
the  best  of  the  land,  in  the  land  ot 
'‘Ram-e-ses,  *as  Pha-raoh  had  com- 
manded. 

12  And  Jo-seph  nourished  his  la- 
ther, and  his  brethren,  and  all  his 
father’s  household,  with  bread,  ac- 
cording to  their  families. 

13  II  And  there  ivas  no  bread  in  all 
the  land ; for  the  famine  was  very 
sore,  ‘’so  that  the  land  of  E-gypt 
and  all  the  land  of  GaMaan  fainted 
by  reason  of  the  famine. 

14  ^And  Jo-seph  gathered  up  all 
the  money  that  was  found  in  the 
land  of  E-gypt,  and  in  the  land  of 
Ga-naan,  for  the  corn  which  they 
bought : and  J o-seph  brought  the 
money  into  Pha-raoh’s  house. 

15  And  when  money  failed  in  the 
land  of  E-gypt,  and  in  the  land  of 
GaMaan,  all  the  E-gyp-tians  came 
unto  Jo-s6ph,  and  said.  Give  us 
bread:  for  *why  should  we  die  in 
thy  presence'?  for  the  money  faileth. 

16  And  Jo-seiih  said.  Give  your 
cattle ; and  I will  give  you  for  your 
cattle,  if  money  fail. 

17  And  they  Drought  their  cattle 
unto  Jo-seph:  and  Jo-seph  gave 
them  bread  in  exchange  for  horses, 
and  for  the  flocks,  and  for  the  cattle 
of  the  herds,  and  for  the  asses : and 
he  ®fed  them  with  bread  for  all  their 
cattle  for  that  year. 

18  When  that  year  was  ended, 
they  came  unto  him  the  second 
year,  and  said  unto  him,  Vv^e  will 
not  hide  it  from  my  lord,  how  that 
our  money  is  spent;  my  lord  also 
hath  our  herds  of  cattle ; there  is 
not  ought  left  in  the  sight  of  my 
lord,  but  our  bodies,  and  our 
lands : 

19  Wherefore  shall  we  die  beforo 
thine  eyes,  both  we  and  our  landj 
huy  us  and  our  land  for  bread,  and 
we  and  our  land  will  be  servants 
unto  Pha-raoh  : and  give  us  seed, 
that  we  may  live,  and  not  die,  that 
the  land  be  not  desolate.

20  And  Jo'sgph  bought  all  tne 

land  of  E-gypt  for  Pha-raoh ; for 
the  E-gyp-tians  sold  every  man  _ his 
field,  because  the  famine  prevailed 
over  them : so  the  land  became 
Pha-raoh’s. 

21  And  as  for  the  people,  he  re- 
moved them  to  cities  from  one  end 
of  the  borders  of  E-gypt  even  to 
the  other  end  thereof. 

22  “Only  the  land  of  the  ^priests 
bought  he  not ; for  the  priesds  had 
a portion  assigned  them  of  Phadaoh, 
and  did  eat  their  portion  which 
Phadaoh  gave  them : wherefore 
they  sold  not  their  lands. 

23  Then  Jo-seph  said  unto  the  peo- 
ple, Behold,  T have  bought  you  this 
day  and  your  land  for  Phadaoh  : 
lo,  here  is  seed  for  you,  and  ye  shall 
sow  the  land. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the 
increase,  that  ye  shall  give  the  fifth 
part  unto  Phadaoh,  and  four  parts 
shall  be  your  own,  for  seed  oi  the 
field,  and  for  your  food,  and  for 
them  of  your  households,  and  for 
food  for  your  little  ones. 

25  And  they  said.  Thou  hast  saved 
our  lives : ®let  us  find  grace  in  the 
sight  of  my  lord,  and  we  will  be 
Pha-raoh’s  servants. 

26  And  Jo-seph  made  it  a law  over 
the  land  of 'E-gypt  unto  this  day, 
that  Pha-raoh  should  have  the  fifth 
part ; except  the  land  of  the^^priests 
on\j,  which  became  not  Pha-raoh’s. 

27  ^ And  Is-ra-el  '‘dwelt  in  the 

land  of  E-gy'pt,  in  the  country  of 
Go-shen ; and  they  had  possessions 
therein,  and  *grew,  and  multiplied 
exceedingly.  , ^ ^ 

28  And  Ja-e5b  lived  in  the  land 
of  E-gypt  seventeen  years:  so  ^the 
whole  age  of  Ja--e5b  was  an  hun- 
dred forty  and  seven  years. 

29  And  the  time  ”drew  nigh  that 
Is-ra-el  must  die:  and  he  called  his 
son  Jo-seph,  and  said  unto  him,  If 
now  I ‘have  found  grace  in  thy 
sight,  ^put,  I pray  thee,  thy  hand 
under  my  thi^,  and  ’'deal  kindly 
and  truly  with  me ; ^bury  me  not,

and  thou  shalt  carry  me  out  of  E- 
gypt,  and  “bury  me  in  their  bury- 
ingplace.  And  he  said,  I will  do  as 
thou  hast  said.

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  these 
XA.  things,  that  one  told  Jo-s6ph, 
Behold,  thy  father  is  sick : and  he 
took  with  him  his  two  sons,  Ma-nas- 
seh  and  E-phra-im. 

2 And  one  told  Ja-e5b,  and  said. 
Behold,  thy  son  J o-seph  cometh  un- 
to thee:  and  Is-ra-el  strengthened 
himself,  and  sat  upon  the  bed. 

3 And  Ja-cOb  said  unto  Jo-seph, 
God  Almighty  appeared  unto  me  at 
''Ltiz  in  the  land  of  -Ga-naan,  and 
blessed  me, 

4 And  said  unto  me.  Behold,  I 
will  make  thee  fruitful,  and  multi- 
ply thee,  and  I will  make  of  thee  a 
multitude  of  people  ; and  will  give 
this  land  to  thy  seed  after  thee  ''for 
an  everlasting  possession. 

5 ^ And  now  thy  ‘'two  sons,  _E- 
phra-im  and  Ma-nas-seh,  which 
were  born  unto  thee  in  the  land  of 
E-gypt  before  I came  unto  thee  in- 
to E-gypt,  are  mine;  as  Reu-b6n 
and  Sim-e-5n,  they  shall  be  mine. 

6 And  thy  issue,  which  thou  be- 
gettest  after  them,  shall  be  thine, 
and  shall  be  called  after  the  name 
of  their  brethren  in  their  inherit- 
ance. 

7 And  as  for  me,  when  I came  from 
Pa-dan,  ■^Ra-ch6l  died  by  me  in  the 
land  of  -Ga-naan  in  the  way,  when 
yet  there  was  but  a little  way  to 
come  unto  Eph-rath : and  I buried 
her  there  in  the  way  of  Eph-rath ; 
the  same  is  B6th'-le-h6m. 

8 And  Is-ra-el  beheld  Jo-seph  s 
sons,  and  said,  Who  are  these  t 

9 And  Jo-seph  said  unto  his  father, 
''They  are  my  sons,  whom  God  hath 
given  me  in  this  place.  And  he 
said.  Bring  them,  I pray  thee,  unto 
me,  and  'I  will  bless  them._ 

10  Now  ’“the  eyes  of  Is-ra-el  were 
■^dim  for  age,  so  that  he  could  not 
see.  And  he  brought  them  near 
unto  him;  and  ‘’he  kissed  them, 
and  embraced  them. 

11  And  Is-ra-6l  said  unto  Jo-s6ph, 
3 1 had  not  thought  to  see  thy  face : 
and,  lo,  God  hath  shewed  me  also 
thy  seed. 

12  And  Jo-seph  brought  them  out 

from  between  his  knees,  and  he 
bowed  himself  with  his  face  to  the 
earth.  , , . . 

13  And  Jo-seph  took  them  both, 
E-phra-im  in  his  right  hand  toward 
Is-ra-gl’s  left  hand,  and  Ma-nas-seh 
in  his  left  hand  toward  Is-ra-el  s 
right  hand,  and  brought  them  near 
unto  him. .. 

14  And  Is-ra-6l  stretched  out  his 
right  hand,  and  laid  it  upon  E-phra- 
im’s  head,  who  was  the  younger, 
and  his  left  hand  upon  Ma-nas-seh  s

17  And  when  Jo-seph  saw  that  his 
father  "'laid  his  right  hand  upon  the 
head  of  E-phra-im,  it  ^displeased 
him : and  he  held  up  his  fathers 
hand,  to  remove  it  from  E-phra- 
im’s  head  unto  Ma-nas-seh’s  head. 

18  And  Jo-seph  said  unto  his  fa- 
ther, Not  so,"my  father:  for  this  is 
the  firstborn ; put  thy  right  hand 
upon  his  head. 

19  And  his  father  refused,  and 
said,  *I  know  it,  my  son,  I know  it: 
he  also  shall  become  a people,  and 
he  also  shall  be  great:  but  truly 

his  younger  brother  shall  be 

greater  than  he,  and  his  seed  shall 
ecome  a ® multitude  of  nations. 

20  And  he  blessed  them  that  day, 
saying,  ^ In  thee  shall  Is-ra-el  bless, 
saying,  God  make  thee  as  E-phra- 
im  and  as  Ma-nas-s6h : and  he  set 
E-phra-im  before  Ma-nas-seh. 

21  And  Is-ra-6l  said  unto  Jo-seph, 
Behold,  I die:  but  “God  shall  be 
with  you,  and  bring  you  again  un- 
to the  land  of  your  fathers. 

22  Moreover  ''  I have  given  to  thee

him;  for  so  are  fulfilled  the  days 

of  those  which  are  embalmed:  and 
the  E-gyp-tians  * mourned^  for  him 
threescore  and  ten  days. 

4 And  when  the  days  of  his  mourn- 
ing were  past,  Joj§eph  spake  unto 
"the  house  of  Pha-raoh,  saying.  If 
now  I have  found  grace  in  your 
eyes,  speak,  I pray  you,  in  the  ears 
of  Pha-raoh,  saying, 

5 *My  father  made  me  swear,  say- 
ing, Lo,  I die  : in  my  grave  ""which 
I have  digged  for  me  in  the  land 
of  -Ca-naan,  there  shalt  thou  bury 
me.  Now  therefore  let  me  go  up,  1 
pray  thee,  and  bury  my  father,  and 
I will  come  again. 

6 And  Pha-raoh  said.  Go  up,  and 
bury  thy  father,  according  as  he 
made  thee  swear. 

7 H And  Jo-seph  went  up  to  bury 
his  father : and  with  him  went  up 
all  the  servants  of  Pha-raoh,  the 
elders  of  his  house,  and  all  tlie 
elders  of  the  land  of  E-gypt, 

8 And  all  the  house  of  Jo-seph, 
and  his  brethren,  and  his  father’s 
house : only  their  little  ones,  and 
their  flocks,  and  their  herds,  they 
left  in  the  land  of  Go-sh6n. 

9 And  there  went  up  with  him 
both  chariots  and  horsemen : and 
it  was  a very  great  company. 

10  And  they  came  to  the  thresh- 
ingfloor  of  A-tad,  which  is  beyond 
Jdr-dan,  and  there  they  ^‘mourned 
with  a great  and  very  sore  lamen- 
tation : *and  he  made  a mourning 
for  his  father  seven  days. 

11  And  when  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land,  the  Ga-naan-ites,  saw  the 
mourning  in  the  floor  of  A-tad,  they 
said.  This  is  a grievous  mourning 
to  the  E-gyp-tians : wherefore  the 
name  of  it  was  called  ^A^bel-miz-ra- 
im,  which  is  beyond  J 6r-dan.  _ 

12  And  his  sons  did  unto  him  ac- 
cording as  he  commanded  them : 

13  For  *his  sons  carried  him  into 

the  land  of  Ga-naan,  and  buried  him 
in  the  cave  of  the  field  of  Maeh-pe- 
lah,  which  A-bra-ham  ‘’bought  with 
the  field  for  a possession  of  a bury- 
ingplace of  E-phr5n  the  Hit-tite, 
before  Mam-re.  . 

14  H And  Jo-seph  returned  into 
E-gypt,  he,  and  his  brethren,  and 
all  that  went  up  with  him  to  bury 
his  father,  after  he  had  buried  his 
f3jtli0r 

15  ^ And  when  Jo-seph’s  brethren 
saw  that  their  father  was  dead, 
^they  said,  Jo-seph  will  perad ven- 
ture hate  us,  and  will  certainly  re- 
quite us  aU  the  evil  which  we  did 
unto  him. 

1 6 And  they  ^sent  a messenger  un- 


The  children  of  Israel  EXODUS,  1. multiply  greatly. 


to  Jo-sgph,  saying,  Thy  father  did 
command  before  he  died,  saying, 

17  So  shall  ye  say  unto  Jo-seph, 
Forgive,  I pray  thee  now,  the  tres- 
pass of  thy  brethren,  and  their  sin* 
“for  they  did  unto  thee  evil : and 
now,  we  pray  thee,  forgive  the  tres- 
pass of  the  servants  of  ‘^the  God  of 
thy  father.  And  J o-seph  wept  when 
they  spake  unto  him. 

18  And  his  brethren  also  went  and 
^fell  down  before  his  face ; and  they 
said.  Behold,  we  he  thy  servants. 

19  And  Joksgph  said  unto  them, 
^Fear  not:  *for  am  I in  the  place  of 
Godi 

20  ’^But  as  for  you,  ye  thought  evil 
against  me ; hut  ”God  meant  it  unto 
good,  to  bring  to  pass,  as  it  is  this 
day,  to  save  much  people  alive. 

21  Now  therefore  fear  ye  not : "I 
will  nourish  you,  and  your  little 
ones.  And  he  comforted  them,  and 
spake  ^kindly  unto  them.

‘^the  children  also  of  Ma-chir  the 
son  of  Ma-nas-seh  ®were  ^brought 
up  upon  Jo-sSph’s  knees.

out  of  this  land  unto  the  land

the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  saying, 
God  will  surely  visit  you,  and  ye 
shall  carry  up  my  bones  from

26  So  Jo-seph  died,  being  an  hun-

falleth  out  any  war,  they  .ioin  also 
unto  our  enemies,  and  fight  against

11  Therefore  they  did  set  over 
them  taskmasters  ‘'to  afflict  them 
with  their  ® burdens.  And  they 
built  for  Pha-raoh  treasure  cities, 
Pi-th5m  ■''and  Ra-am-ses. 

12  ^But  the  more  they  afflicted 
them,  the  more  they  multiplied 
and  grew.  And  they  were  grieved 
because  of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el. 

13  And  the  E-gyp-tians  made  the 
children  of  Is-ra-ffl  to  serve  with 
rigour : 

14  And  they  'made  their  lives 
bitter  with  hard  bondage,  'in  mor- 
ter,  and  in  brick,  and  in  all  manner 
of  service  in  the  field : all  their 
service,  wherein  they  made  them 
serv^  ivas  with  rigour. 

1 5 II  And  th^king  of  E-gypt  spake 
to  the  He- brew  mid  wives,  of  which 
the  name  of  the  one  was  Shiph-rah, 
and  the  name  of  the  other  Pu-ah : 

1 6 And  he  said.  When  ye  do  the 
officcf  of  a midwife  to  the  He-brew 
women,  and  see  the^n  upon  the 


Birih  of  Moses. . 

Swkl  if  it  be  a son,  then  ye  shall 
kill  him : but  if  it  he  a daughter, 
then  she  shall  live.  j j 

17  But  the  midwives  “feared  God, 

and  did  not  "as  the  king  of  E-gypt 
commanded  them,  but  saved  the 
men  children  alive.  - ,,  , 

18  And  the  king  of  B-gypt  called 

for  the  midwives,  and  said  unto 
them.  Why  have  ye  done  rhis 
thing,  and  have  saved  the  men 
children  alive  ^ . . , , 

19  And  nhe  mid  wives  _said_unto 

Pha-raoh,  Because  the  He-brew  v/o- 
men  are  not  as  the  E-gyp-tian  wo- 
men ; for  they  are  lively,  and  are 
delivered  ere  the  midwives  come 
in  unto  them.  ^ ^ 

20  ^Therefore  God  dealt  well  with 
the  midwives  : and  the  people  mul- 
tiplied, and  waxed  very  mighty. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  because 
the  midwives  feared  God,  that  he 

made  them  houses. 

22  And  Pha-raoh  charged  all  his 
people,  saying,  * Every  son  that  is 
born  ye  shall  cast  into  the  river, 
and  every  daughter  ye  shall  save

hide  him,  she  took  for  him  an  ark 
of  bulrushes,  and  daubed  it  with 
slime  and  with  pitch,  and  put  the

she  called  his  name  ^ Mo-s6s:  and

days,  ‘‘when  Mo-s6s  \vas  grown, 
that  he  went  out  unto  his  brethren, 
and  looked  on  their /burdens : and 
he  spied  an  E-gyp-tian  smiting  an 
He-brew,  one  of  his  brethren. 

12  And  he  looked  this  way  and 
that  way,  and  when  he  saw  that 
there  was  no  man,  he /slew  the

15  Now  when  Pha-raoh  heard  this

CHAPTER  3. 

1 Moses  keepeth  Jethro's  flock.  2 God  appeareth  to  him,  in 
a burning  bush.  9 He  senHeth  him,  to  deliver  Israel.  15 
God's  message  to  Israel. 

Mo-ses  kept  the  flock  of 
Al  Je-thro  his  fatner  in  law,  Hhe 

griest  of  Mid4-an  : and  he  led  the 
ock  to  the  backside  of  the  desert, 
and  came  to  "'the  mountain  of  God, 
even  to  Ho-reb. 

2  And  "the  angel  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peared unto  him  in  a flame  of  fire 
out  of  the  midst  of  a bush : and 
he  looked,  and,  behold,  the  bush 
burned  with  fire,  and  the  bush  was 
not  consumed. 

3  And  Mo-ses  said,  I will  now  turn 
aside,  and  see  this  ^ great  sight,  why 
the  bush  is  not  burnt. 

4  And  when  the  Lord  saw  that 
he  turned  aside  to  see,  God  called 
®unto  him  out  of  the  midst  of  the 
bush,  and  said,  Mo-ses,  Mo-ses.  And 
he  said.  Here  am  I. 

5  And  he  said.  Draw  not  nigh 
hither:  'put  off  thy  shoes  from  off 
thy  feet,  for  the  place  whereon  thou 
standest  is  holy  ground. 

6  Moreover  he  said,  "I  am  the  God 
of  thy  father,  the  God  of  A-bra-ham, 
the  God  of  I-saac,  and  the  God  of 
Ja'-e5b.  And  Mo-ses  hid  his  face; 
for  ^he  was  afraid  to  look  upon  God. 
7 H And  the  Lord  said,  “I  have 
surely  seen  the  affliction  of  my 
people  which  are  in  E-gypt,  and 
have  heard  their  cry  ''by  reason  of 
their  taskmasters ; for  know  their 
sorrows ; 

8  And  am  come  down  to  de- 
liver them  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
E-gyp-tians,  and  to  bring  them  up 
out  of  that  land  ^unto  a good  land 
and  a large,  unto  a land  'flowing 
with  milk  and  honey;  unto  the 
place  of  *the  -Ca-n^n-ites,  and  the 
Hit-tites,  and  the  AmAr-Ites,  and 
the  Pgr-iz-zites,  and  the  Hl-vites, 
and  the  Jsb-u-sites. 

9  Now  therefore,  behold,  "'the  cry 
of  the  children  of  ls-ra-6l  is  come 
unto  me : and  I have  also  seen  the 
"oppression  wherewith  the  E-gyp- 
tian?  oppress  them.

10  “Come  now  therefore,  and.  1 
will  send  thee  unto  Pha-raoh, 
that  thou  mayest  bring  forth  my 
people  the  children  of  Is-rAel  out 
of  E-gypt. 

1 1 H And  Mo-ses  said  unto  God, 
"Who  am  I,  that  I should  go  unto 
Pha-raoh,  and  that  I should  bring 
forth  the  children  of  IsAa-ei  out  of 
E-gypt^ 

12  And  he  said,  'Certainly  I will 
be  with  thee ; and  this  shall  he  a 
token  unto  thee,  that  I have  sent 
thee : When  thou  hast  brought  forth 
the  people  out  of  E-gypt,  ye  shall 
serve  God  upon  this  mountain. 

1 3 And  Mo-ses  said  unto  God,  Be- 
hold, when  I come  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el,  and  shall  say  unto 
them.  The  God  of  your  fathers  hath 
sent  me  unto  you ; and  they  shall 
say  to  me.  What  is  his  name*?  what 
shall  I say  unto  them'? 

14  And  God  said  unto  Mo-ses,  I 
AM  THAT  I AM:  and  he  said. 
Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el,  "I  AM  hath  sent 
me  unto  you. 

15  And  God  said  moreover  unto 
Mo-ses,  Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto 
the  children  of  IshA-el,  The  Lord 
God  of  your  fathers,  the  God  of 
A-bra-ham,  the  God  of  I-saac,  and 
the  God  of  Ja-cob,  hath  sent  me 
unto  you : this  is  "my  name  for 
ever,  and  this  is  my  memorial  un- 
to all  generations. 

16  Go,  and  '’gather  the  elders  of  Is-

The  Lord  God  of  your  fathers,  the 
God  of  A-bra-ham,  of  I-saac,  and 
of  Ja-c6b,  appeared  unto  me,  say- 
ing, have  surely  visited  you,  and 
seen  that  which  is  done  to  you  in 
E-gypt : 

17  And  I have  said,  H will  bring 
you  up  out  of  the  affliction  of

14  Aaron  is  appointed  to  assist  him.  18  Moses  departeth 
from  Jethro.  21  God’s  message  to  Pharaoh.  27  Aaron  is 
sent  to  meat  Moses. 

AND  Mo-ses  answered  and  said. 
But,  behold,  they  will  not 
believe  me,  nor  hearken  unto  my 
voice:  for  they  will  say.  The  Lord 
hath  not  appeared  unto  thee.  , 

2 And  the  Lord  said  unto  mm. 

What  is  that  in  thine  handl  And 
he  said,  ""A  rod.  . 

3 And  he  said.  Cast  it  on  the 
ground.  And  he  cast  it  on  the 
ground,  and  it  became  a serpent; 
and  Mo-ses  fled  from  before  it. 

4 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-sgs, 

Put  forth  thine  hand,  and  take  it 
by  the  tail.  And  he  put  forth  his 
hand,  and  caught  it,  and  it  became 
a rod  in  his  hand : , , . . ^ 

5 That  they  may  believe  that  ® the 

Lord  God  of  their  fathers,  the  God 
of  A-bra-ham,  the  God  of  I-saac,and 
the  God  of  Ja-cdb,  hath  appeared 
unto  thee.  ^ i 

6 U And  the  Lord  said  further- 
more unto  him.  Put  now  thine  hand 
into  thy  bosom.  And  he  put  his 
hand  into  his  bosom : and  when 
he  took  it  out,  behold,  his  hand 
was  leprous  ^as  snow. 

7 And  he  said.  Put  thine  hand 
into  thy  bosom  again.  And  he 
put  his  hand  into  his  bosom  again  ; 
and  plucked  it  out  of  his  bosom, 
and,  behold,  ^it  was  turned  again 
as  his  other  flesh.

they  will  not  believe  thee,  neither 
hearken  to  the  voice  of  the  first 
sign,  that  they  will  believe  the 
voice  of  the  latter  sign.

they  will  not  believe  also  these

Lord,  O my  Lord,  I am  not  ^_elo- 
q^uent,  neither  ^heretofore,  nor  since 
tnou  hast  spoken  unto  thy  servant: 
but  am  slow  of  speech,  and  of  a 
slow  tongue. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
•'’Who  hath  made  man’s  mouth  1 or 
who  maketh  the  dumb,  or  deaf,  or 
the  seeing,  or  the  blinds  have  not 
I the  Lord'? 

12  Now  therefore  go,  and  I will 
be  •’'with  thy  mouth,  and  teach  thee 
what  thou  shalt  say. 

13  And  he  said,  O my  Lord,  *send, 

I pray  thee,  by  the  hand  of  him 
whom  thou  ®wilt  send. 

14  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was 

kindled  against  Mo-s6s,  and  he  said. 
Is  not  Aar-On  the  Le-vite  thy  bro- 
ther'? I know  that  he  can  speak 
well.  And  also,  behold,  *^he  cometh 
forth  to  meet  thee : and  when  he 
seeth  thee,  he  will  be  glad  in  ms 
heart.  , , . . 

15  And  *thou  shalt  speak  unto 
him,  and  ”put  words  in  his  mouth : 
and  I will  be  with  thy  mouth,  and 
with  his  mouth,  and  ‘’will  teach  you 
what  ye  shall  do. 

16  And  he  shall  be  thy  spokesman 
unto  the  people:  and  he  shall  be, 
even  he  shall  be  to  thee  instead  ot 
a mouth,  and  ^thou  shalt  be  to  him 
instead  of  God. 

17  And  thou  shalt  take  f this  rod 
in  thine  hand,  wherewith  thou 
shalt  do  signs. 

18  ^ And  Mo-ses  went  and  re- 
turned to  ®Je-thro  his  father  in 
law,  and  said  unto  him.  Let  me  go, 
I pray  thee,  and  return  unto  my 
brethren  which  are  in  E-gypt,  and 
see  whether  they  be  yet  alive.  And 
Je-thro  said  to  Mo-ses,  Go  in  peace. 

19  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-s6§ 

in  Mid4-an,  Go,  return  into  E-gypt  : 
for  “all  the  men  are  dead  which 
sought  thy  life.  ^ , . . . . , 

20  And  Mo-ses  took  his  wife  and 

his  sons,  and  set  them  upon  an  ass, 
and  he  returned  to  the  land  or 
E-gypt:  and  Mo-s6s  took  ^'the  rod 
of  God  in  his  hand.  ^ 

21  And  the  Lord  said  unco  Mo-s6s, 

When  thou  goest  to  return  into 
B-gypt,  see  that  thou  do  all  those 
* wonders  before  Pha-raoh,  which  1

harden  his  heart,  that  he  shall  not 
let  the  people  go.  , 

22  And  thou  shalt  say  unto  Pha' 
raoh.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ms-ra-ei 
is  my  son,  ^even  my  firstborn : 

23  And  I say  unto  thee,  Let  my

son  go,  that  he  may  serve  me  : and 
if  thou  refuse  to  let  him  go,  behold, 
will  slay  thy  son,  even  thy  first- 
born. 

24  H And  it  came  to  pass  by  the 
way  in  the  inn,  that  the  Lord  ‘’met 
him,  and  sought  to  ‘^kill  him. 

25  Then  Zip-poh"ah  took  ®a  sharp 
^ stone,  and  cut  off  the  foreskin  of 
her  son,  and  ‘“^cast  it  at  his  feet,  and 
said,  Surely  a bloody  husband  art 
thou  to  me. 

26  So  he  let  him  go : then  she  said, 
A bloody  husband  thou  art,  because 
of  the  circumcision. 

27  U And  the  Lord  said  to  Aar-5n, 
Go  into  the  wilderness  -^to  meet 
Mo-ses.  And  he  went,  and  met  him 
in  ^'th'e  mount  of  God,  and  kissed 
him, 

28  And  Mo-ses  ^told  Aar-bn  all  the 
words  of  the  Lord  who  had  sent 
him,  and  all  the  J signs  which  he 
had  commanded  him. 

29  ^ And  Mo-§es  and  Aar-5n  ^went 
and  gathered  together  all  the  elders 
of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el : 

30  * And  Aar-5n  spake  all  the  words 
which  the  Lord  had  spoken  unto 
Mo-ses,  and  did  the  signs  in  the 
sight  of  the  people. 

31  And  the  people  ""believed:  and 
when  they  heard  that  the  Lord  had 
"visited  the  children  of  Is-rd-el,  and 
that  he  ‘"had  looked  upon  their 
affliction,  then  ^’they  bowed  their 
heads  and  worshipped. 


CHAPTER  5. 

1 Pharaoh  chideth  Moses  and  A aron  for  their  message.  5 

Be  increaseth  the  Israelites'  task.  20  They  cry  out  upon 

Moses  and  Aaron. 

AND  afterward  Mo-s6s  and  Aar-6n 
J\.  went  in,  and  told  Pha-raoh, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el, 
Let  my  people  go,  that  they  may 
hold  ^a  feast  unto  me  in  the  wil- 
derness. 

2 And  Pha-raoh  said,  "Whp  is  the 
Lord,  that  I should  obey  his  voice 
to  let  Is-ra-6l  go  I I know  not  the 
Lord,  * neither  will  I let  Is-ra-6l  go. 

3 An^they  said,  *The  God  of  the 
He-brew§  hath  met  with  us  : let  us 
go,  we  pray  thee,  three  days’  jour- 
ney into  the  desert,  and  sacrifice 
unto  the  Lord  our  God  ; lest  he 
fall  upon  us  with  pestilence,  or 
with  the  sword. 

4 And  the  king  of  E-gypt  said 
unto  them,  Wherefore  do  ye, 
Mo-§6s  and  Aar-bn.  let  the  people 
from  their  works'!  get  you  unto 
your  “burdens. 

5 And  Pha-raoh  said.  Behold,  the 
people  of  the  land  now  are  ' many, 
and  ye  make  them  rest  from  their 
bui-dens.

6 And  Pha-raoli  commanded  the 

same  day  the  ""  taskmasters  of  the 
people,  and  their  officers,  saying, 

7 Ye  shall  no  more  give  the  people 
straw  to  make  brick,  as  heretofore  : 
let  them  go  and  gather  straw  for 
themselves. 

8 And  the  tale  of  the  bricks,  v/hich 
they  did  make  heretofore,  ye  shall 
lay  upon  them ; ye  shall  not 
diminish  ought  thereof : for  they 
he  idle;  therefore  they  cry,  say- 
ing, Let  us  go  and  sacrifice  to  our 
God. 

9 ^Let  there  more  work  be  laid 
upon  the  men,  that  they  may  la- 
bour therein ; and  let  them  not  re- 
gard vain  words. 

10  ^ And  the  taskmasters  of  the 
people  went  out,  and  their  officers, 
and  they  spake  to  the  people,  say- 
ing, Thus  saith  Pha-raoh,  I will  not 
give  you  straw. 

11  Go.  ye,  get  you  straw  where  ye 
can  find  it : yet  not  ought  of  your 
work  shall  be  diminished. 

12  So  the  people  were  scattered 
abroad  throughout  all  the  land  of 
E-gypt  to  gather  stubble  instead  of 
straw. 

13  And  the  taskmasters  hasted 
them,  saying.  Fulfil  your  works, 
^your  daily  tasks,  as  when  there 
v/as  straw. 

1 4 And  the  officers  of  the  children 
of  Ish*a-el,  which  Pha-raoh’s  task- 
masters had  set  over  them,  were 
beaten,  and  demanded,  Wherefore 
have  ye  not  fulfilled  your  task  in 
making  brick  both  yesterday  and 
to  day,  as  heretofore! 

15  H Then  the  officers  of  the  chil- 
dren of  IshA-el  came  and  cried 
unto  PhaYaoh,  saying.  Wherefore 
dealest  thou  thus  with  thy  serv' 
ants ! 

16  There  is  no  straw  given  unto 
thy  servants,  and  they  say  to  us. 
Make  brick  : and,  behold,  thy  serv- 
ants are  beaten ; but  the  fault  is 
in  thine  own  people. 

17  But  he  said.  Ye  are  idle,  ye  are 
idle:  therefore  ye  say,  Let  us  go 
and  do  sacrifice  to  the  Lord. 

18  Go  therefore  now,  and  work; 
for  there  shall  no  straw  be  given 
you,  yet  shall  ye  deliver  the  tale  of 
bricks. 

1 9 And  the  officers  of  the  children 
pf  Tsh-a-el  did  that  they  were 
in  evil  case,  after  it  was  said.  Ye 
shall  not  minish  ought  from  your 
bricks  of  your  daily  task. 

20  U And  they  met  Mo-s6s  and 
Aar-5n,  who  stood  in  the  way,  as 
they  came  forth  from  PhaYaoh  : 

' 21  ^'And  they  said  unto  them.  The 


God  reneweth  his  promise. 


EXODUS,  6.

Lord  look  upon  you,  and  judge ; 
because  ye  have  made  our  savour 
1 to  be  abhorred  in  the  eyes  of  Pha- 
raoh, and  in  the  eyes  of  his  serv- 
ants, to  put  a sword  in  their  hand 
to  slay  us. 

22  And  Mo'ses  returned  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said.  Lord,  wherefore 
hast  thou  so  ,evil  entreated  this 
people  1 why  is  it  that  thou  hast 
sent  mel 

23  For  since  I came  to  Pha-raoh 
to  speak  in  thy  name,  he  hath  done 
evil  to  this  people;  ‘^neither  hast 
thou  delivered  thy  people  at  all.

1 God  reneweth  his  promise  by  his  name  JEHOVAH. 

14  The  genealogy  of  Reuben,  Himeon,  and  Levi. 

Then  the  lord  said  unto  Mo-ses, 
Now  shalt  thou  see  what  I will 
do  to  Pha-raoh  : for  ‘^with  a strong 
hand  shall  he  let  them  go,  and  with 
a strong  hand shall  he  drive  them 
out  of  his  land. 

2 And  God  spake  unto  Mo-ses, 
and  said  unto  him,  I am  fthe  Lord  ; 

3 And  I appeared  unto  A-bra-harn, 
unto  I-saae,  and  unto  Ja-e6b,  by  the 
name  of  ^God  Almighty,  but  by 
my  name  *JE-HO-VAH  was  I not 
known  to  them. 

4 *And  I have  also  established  my 
covenant  with  them,  Ho  give  them 
the  land  of  Ua-naan,  the  land  ot 
their  pilgrimage,  wherein  they  were 
strangers. 

5 And  have  _ also  heard  the 
groaning  o|  the  children  of  Isha-el, 
whom  the  E-gyp-tjans  keep  in  bond- 
age; and  I have  remembered  my 
covenant. 

6 Wherefore  say  unto  the  children 
of  ish4-el,  am  the  Lord,  and 
"■I  will  bring  you  out  from  under 
the  burdens  ^ of  the  E-gyp-tians, 
and  I will  rid  you  .out  of  their 
bondage,  and  I will  'redeem  you 
with  a stretched  out  arm,  and  with 
great  judgments  : 

7 And  I will  “take  you  to  me  tor 
a people,  and  will  be  to  you  a 
God : and  ye  shall  know  that  I am 
the  Lord  your  God,  which  bringeth 
you  out  Hrom  under  the  burdens  of 
the  E-gyp-tians.,  . 

8 And  I will  bring  you  in  unto  the 
land,  concerning  the  which  I did 
Hwear**  to  give  it  to  A-bra-ham,  to 
I-saac,  and  to  Ja^hb;,and  I will 
give  it  you  for  an  heritage : I am 
the  Lord. 

9 U And  Mo-ses  spake  so  unto 
the  children  of  IsHa-el ; -^but  they 
hearkened  not  unto  Mo-ses  for 
® anguish  of  spirit,  and  for  cruel 
bondage.

Pha-raoh,  and  it  shall  become  a 
serpent. 

10  II  And  Mo-ses  and  AarMn  went 
in  unto  Pha-raoh.  a,nd  they  did  so 
*as  the  Lord  had  commanded  : and 
AarMn  cast  down  his  rod  before 
Pha-raoh,  and  before  his  servants, 
and  it  ‘^became  a serpent. 

11  Then  Pha-raoh  also  -^called  the 
wise  men  and  ^the  sorcerers : now 
the  magicians  of  E-gypt,  they  also 
*did  in  like  manner  with  their  en- 
chantments. 

12  For  they  cast  down  every  man 
his  rod,  and  they  became  serpents : 
but  AarMn’s  rod  swallowed  up  their 
rods. 

13  And  he  hardened  Pha-raoh’s 
heart,  that  he  hearkened  not  unto 
them ; ’^as  the  Lord  had  said. 

14  51  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, ‘’Pha-raoh’s  heart  is  hardened, 
he  refuseth  to  let  the  people  go. 

15  Get  thee  unto  Pha-raoh  in  the 
morning ; lo,  he  goeth  out  unto  the 
water ; and  thou  shalt  stand  by  the 
river’s  brink  against  he  come ; and 
® the  rod  ''^^hich  was  turned  to  a ser- 
pent shaL  thou  take  in  thine  hand. 

1 6 And  thou  shalt  say  unto  him, 
’’The  Lord  God  of  the  He-brows 
hath  sent  me  unto  thee,  saying. 
Let  my  people  go,  *that  they  may 
serve  me  in  the  wilderness : and 
behold,  hitherto  thou  wouldest  noj 
hear. 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  In  this 
^thou  sha,lt  know  that  1 am  the 
Lord  : behold,  I will  smite  with 
the  rod  that  u in  mine  hand  upon 
the  waters  which  are  in  the  river, 
and  ‘’they  shall  be  turned  ‘^to  blood. 

18  And  the  fish  that  is  in  the  river 
shall  die,  and  the  river  shall  stink ; 
and  the  E-gyp-tjans  shall  Gothe  to 
drink  of  the  water  of  the  river. 

19  H And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-§es,  Say  unto  Aar-On,  Take  thy 
rod,  and  ^stretch  out  thine  hand 
upon  the  waters  of  E-gypt,  upon 
their  streams,  upon  their  rivers, 
and  upon  their  ponds,  and  upon  all 
their  Spools  of  water,  that  they  may 
become  blood ; and  that  there  may 
be  blood  throughout  all  the  land 
of  E-gypt,  both  in  vessels  of  wood, 
and  in  vessels  of  stone. 

20  And  Mo-ses  and  AarMn  did  so, 
as  the  Lord  commanded ; and  he 
"lifted  up  the  rod,  and  smote  the 
water’s  thut  were  in  the  river,  in  the 
sight  of  Pha-raoh,  and  in  the  sigho 
of  his  servants  ; and  all  the  ‘’waters 
tliat  were  in  the  river  were  turned 
to  blood. 

21  And  the  hsh  that  was  in  the 
river  died ; and  the  river  stank,  and

the  E-gyp-tians  “could  not  drink  of

22  ^ And  the  magicians  of  E-gypt 
did  so  with  their  enchantments  : 
and  Pha-raoh’s  heart  was  hardened, 
neither  did  he  hearken  unto  them ; 
‘^as  the  Lord  had  said. 

23  And  Pha-raoh  turned  and  went 
into  his  house,  neither  did  he  set 
his  heart  to  this  also. 

24  And  all  the  E-gyp-tians  digged 
round  about  the  river  for  water  to 
drink  ; for  they  could  not  drink  of 
the  water  of  the  river. 

25  And  seven  days  were  fulfalled, 
after  that  the  Lord  had  smitten 
the  river.

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo^es, 
ix  Go  unto  Pha-raoh,  and  say  un- 
to him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Let 
my  people  go,  '‘^that  they  may  serve 
me. 

2  And  if  thou  ^refuse  to  let  them 

§0,  behold,  I will  smite  all  thy  bor- 
ers with  ^ frogs : , 

3  And  the  river  shall  bring  forth 
frogs  abundantly,  which  shall  go 
up  and  come  into  thine  house,  and 
into  Hhy  bedchamber,  and  upon 
thy  bed,  and  into  the  house  of  thy 
servants,  and  upon  thy  ^ people,

^kneadingtroughs : 

4  And  the  frogs  shall  come  up 
both  on  thee,  and  upon  thy  people, 
and  upon  all  thy  servants.  ^ 

5  U And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses,  Say  unto  Aar-5n,  Stretch 
forth  thine  hand  with  thy  rod  over 
the  streams,  over  the  rivers,  and 
over  the  ponds,  and  cause  frogs  to 
come  up  upon  the  land  of  E-gypt.^ 

6  And  Aar-on  stretched  put  his 
hand  over  the  waters  of  E-gypt; 
and  *the  frogs  came  up,  and  cov- 
ered the  land  of  E-gypt. 

7  “And  the  magicians  did  so  with 
their  enchantments,  and  brought 
up  frogs  upon  the  land  of  E-gypt. 
8 H Then  Pha-raoh  called  for  Mo- 
ses and  Aar-Pn,  and  said,  ^ In  treat 
the  Lord,  that  he  may  take  away 
the  frogs  from  me,  and  from  my 
people ; and  I will  let  the  people 
go,  that  they  may  do  sacrifice  unto 
the  Lord.  . , , .

10  And  he  said,  ^To  morrow.  And 
he  said.  Be  it  according  to  thy 
word  : that  thou  mayest  know  that 

there  is  none  like  unto  the  Lord 
our  God. 

11  And  the  frogs  shall  depart 
from  thee,  and  from  thy  houses, 
and  from  thy  servants,  and  from 
thy  people;  they  shall  remain  in 
the  river  only. 

12  And  Mo-ses  and  Aar-Pn  went 
out  from  Pha-raoh:  and  Mo-ses 
® cried  unto  the  Lord  because  of 
the  frogs  which  he  had  brought  a- 
gainst  Pha-raoh. 

13  And  the  Lord  did  according 
to  the  word  of  Mo-ses;  and  the 
frogs  died  out  of  the  houses,  out 
of  the  villages,  and  out  of  the  fields. 

14  And  they  gathered  them  to- 
gether upon  heaps : and  the  land 

15  But  when  Phah’aoh  saw  that 
there  was  •''respite,  ^ he  hardened 
his  heart,  and  hearkened  not  unto 
them ; as  the  Lord  had  said. 

16  ^ And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo-ses,  Say  unto  Aar-Pn,  Stretch 
out  thy  rod,  and  smite  the  dust  of 
the  land,  that  it  may  become^  lice 
throughout  all  the  land  of  E-gypt. 

17  And  they  did  so;  for  AM^-Pn 

stretched  out  his  hana  with  his 
rod,  and  smote  the  dust  of  the 
earth,  and  ’“it  became  lice  in  man, 
and  in  beast;  all  the  dust  of  the 
land  became_  lice  throughout  all 
the  land  of  E-gypL  .. 

1 8 And  “the  magicians  did  so  wim 
their  enchantments  to  bring  forth 
lice,  but  they  “could  not:  so  there 
were  lice  upon  man,  and  upon  beast. 

19  Then  the  magicians  said  unto 
Pha-raoh,  This  is  Hhe  finger  of 
God:  and  Pha-raoh’s  ’’heart  was 
hardened,  and  he  hearkened  not 
unto  them ; as  the  Lord  had  said. 

20  H And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, *Kise  up  early  in  the  morning, 
ana  stand  before  Pha-raoh;  lo,  he 
cometh  forth  to  the  water ; and 
say  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,

people,  and  into  thy  houses : ana 
the  houses  of  the  E-gyp-tians  shall 
be  full  of  swarms  of  flies.,  and  also 
the  ground  whereon  they  are. 

22  And  M will  sever  in  that  day

people  dwell,  that  no  swarms  of

mayest  know  that  I am  the  Lord

23  And  I will  put  ^a  division  be- 
tween my  people  and  thy  people : 

to  morrow  shall  this  sign  be. 

24  And  the  Lord  did  so;  and 
**  there  came  a grievous  swarm  of 
flies  into  the  house  of  Pha-raoh, 
and  into  his  servants’  houses,  and 
into  all  the  land  of  E-gypt:  the 
land  was  ^corrupted  by  reason  of 
the  swarm  of  flies, 

25  U And  Pha-raoh  called  for 
Mo-ses  and  for  Aar-6n,  and  said. 
Go  ye,  sacrifice  to  your  God  in  the 
land. 

26  And  Mo-ses  said.  It  is  not  meet 
so  to  do ; for  we  shall  sacrifice  ®the 
abomination  of  the  E-g^-tians  to 
the  Lord  our  God  : lo,  shall  we 
sacrifice  the  abomination  of  the 
E-gyp-tians  before  their  eyes,  and 
will  they  not  stone  us^ 

27  We  will  go  three  days’  journey 
into  the  wilderness,  and  sacrifice 
to  the  Lord  our  God,  as  ^he  shall 
command  us. 

28  And  Pha-raoh  said,  I will  let 
you  go,  that  ye  may  sacrifice  to  the 
Lord  your  God  in  the  wilderness ; 
only  ye  shall  not  go  very  far  away : 
*intreat  for  me. 

29  And  Mo-s6s  said.  Behold,  I go 
out  from  thee,  and  I will  intreat 
the  Lord  that  the  swarms  of  flies 
may  depart  from  Pha-raoh,  from  his 
servants,  and  from  his  people,  to 
morrow : but  let  not  Pha-raoh  ’^deal 
deceitfully  any  more  in  not  letting 
the  people  go  to  sacrifice  to  the 
Lord. 

30  And  Mo-sgs  went  out  from  Pha- 
raoh, and  ”intreated  the  Lord. 

31  And  the  Lord  did  according 
to  the  word  of  Mo-ses ; and  he  re- 
moved the  swarms  of  flies  from 
Pha-raoh,  from  his  servants,  and 
from  his  people ; there  remained 
not  one. 

32  And  Pha-raoh  « hardened  his 
heart  at  this  time  also,  neither 
would  he  let  the  people  go.

asses,  upon  the  camels,  upon  the 
oxen,  and  upon  the  sheep : there 
shall  he  a very  grievous  murrain. 

4 And  “the  Lord  shall  sever  be- 
tween the  cattle  of  Is-ra-Sl  and  the 
cattle  of  E-gypt:  and  there  shall 
nothing  die  of  all  that  is  the  chil 
dren’s  of  Is-rd-el. 

5 And  the  Lord  appointed  a set 
time,  saying,  To  morrow  the  Lord 
shall  do  this  thing  in  the  land. 

6 And  the  Lord  did  that  thing 
on  the  morrow,  and  ‘^all  the  cattle 
of  E-gypt  died : but  of  the  cattle  of 
the  children  of  Isha-el  died  not  one. 

7 And  Pha-raob  sent,  and,  behold, 
there  was  not  one  of  the  cattle  of 
the  Is-ra-el-ites  dead.  And  ‘‘the 
heart  of  Phahaoh  was  hardened, 
and  he  did  not  let  the  people  go. 

8 IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-ses 
and  unto  Aar-gn,  Take  to  you  hand- 
fuls of  ashes  of  the  furnace,  and 
let  Mo^es  sprinkle  it  toward  the 
heaven  in  the  sight  of  Pha-raoh. 

9 And  it  shall  become  small  dust 
in  all  the  land  of  E-gypt,  and  shall 
be '‘a  boil  breaking  forth  with  blains 
upon  man,  and  upon  beast,  through- 
out all  the  land  of  E-gypt. 

10  And  they  took  asnes  of  the 
furnace,  and  stood  before  Pha-raoh  : 
and  Mo-ses  sprinkled  it  up  toward 
heaven ; and  it  became  * a boil 
breaking  forth  with  blains  upon 
man,  and  upon  beast. 

11  And  the  ‘magicians  could  not 
stand  before  Mo-ses  because  of  the 
boils ; for  the  boil  was  upon  the 
magicians,  and  upon  all  the  E-gyp- 
tians. 

12  And  the  Lord  hardened  the 
heart  of  Pha-raoh,  and  he  hearkened 
not  unto  them ; “as  the  Lord  had 
spoken  unto  Mo-ses. 

13  U And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, ^Rise  up  early  in  the  morning, 
and  stand  before  Pha-raoh,  and  say 
unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  the  He-brews,  Let  my  people  go, 
that  they  may  serve  me. 

14  For  I will  at  this  time  send  all 
my  plagues  upon  thine  heart,  and 
upon  thy  servants,  and  upon  thy 
people;  ^that  thou  mayest  know 
that  there  is  none  like  me  in  all  the•^ 
earth. 

15  For  now  I will  *stretch  out  my 
hand,  that  I may  smite  thee  and  thy 
people  with  pestilence ; and  thou 
shaft  be  cut  off  from  the  earth. 

16  And  in  very  deed  for  ’‘this 
cause  have  I ^raised  thee  up,  for 
to  shew  in  thee  my  power ; and 
that  my  name  may  be  declared 
throughout  aU  the  earth.

The  plague  of  hail. 


EXODUS,  10. 


Locusts  are  threatenea. 


17  As  yet  exaltest  thou  thyself 
against  my  people,  that  thou  wiit 
not  let  them  go'? 

18  Behold,  to  morrow  about  this 
time  I will  cause  it  to  rain  a very 
grievous  hail,  such  as  hath  not 
been  in  E-gypt  since  the  founda- 
tion thereof  even  until  now. 

19  Send  therefore  now,  and  gather 
thy  cattle,  and  all  that  thou  hast  m 
the  field ; for  upon  every  man  and 
beast  which  shall  be  found  in  the 
field,  and  shall  not  be  brought  home, 
the  hail  shall  come  down  upon  them, 
and  they  shall  die. 

20  He  that  feared  the  word  of 
the  Lord  among  the  servants  of 
Pha-raoh  made  his  servants  and  his 
cattle  flee  into  the  houses  ; 

21  And  he  that  ^regarded  not  the 
word  of  the  Lord  left  his  servants 
and  his  cattle  in  the  field.  ^ 

22  ^ And  the  Lord  said  unto 
M6'-s6s,  Stretch  forth  thine  hand 
toM'^ard  heaven,  that  there  may  be 
"hail  in  all  the  land  of  E-gypt,  upon 
man,  and  upon  beast,  and  upon 
every  herb  of  the  field,  throughout 
the  land  of  E-gypt. 

23  And  Mo-ses  stretched  forth  his 
rod  toward  heaven : and  ^the  Lord 
sent  thunder  and  hail,  and  the  fire 
ran  along  upon  the  ground  ; and 
the  Lord  rained  hail  upon  the  land 
of  E-gypt. 

24  So  there  was  hail,  and  fire  min- 
gled with  the  hail,  very  grievous, 
such  as  there  was  none  like  .it  in 
all  the  land  of  B-gypt  since  it  be- 
came a nation. 

25  And  the  hail  smote  throughout 

all  the  land  of  E^gypt  all  that  was 
in  the  field,  both  man  and  beast ; 
and  tha  hail  *=  smote  every  herb  ot 
the  field;  and  brake  every  tree  ot 
the  field.  , , ^ . 

26  ’"Only  in  the  land  of  Go-shen, 

where  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  were, 
was  there  no  hail.  n n i 

27  IT  And  Pha-raoh  sent,  and  called 

for  Mo-ses  and  Aar-5n,  and  said 
unto  them,  H have  sinned  this 
time : ^the  Lord  is  righteous,  and 
I and  my  people  are  wicked.  . . 

28  ’•  Intreat  the  Lord  (for  it  is 

enough)  that  there  be  no  more 
hnighty  thunderings  and  hail;  and 
I will  let  you  go,  and  ye  shall  stay 
no  longer.  . ^ . . 

29  And  Mo-sgs  said  unto  him.  As 
soon  as  I am  gone  out  of  the  city,

31  And  the  flax  and  the  barley 
was  smitten;  ^for  the  barley  was 
in  the  ear,  and  the  flax  was  boiled. 

32  But  the  wheat  and  the  rie  were 
not  smitten  : for  they  were  ^not 
grown  up. 

33  And  Mo-ses  went  out  of  the  city

his  hands  unto  the  Lord  : and  the 
thunders  and  hail  ceased,  and  the 
rain  was  not  poured  upon  the 
earth.  i 

34  And  when  Pha-raoh  saw  that 

the  rain  and  the  hail  and  the  thun- 
ders were  ceased,  he  sinned  yet 
more,  and  hardened  his  heart,  he 
and  his  servants.  „ , 

35  And  ‘^the  heart  of  Pha-raoh  was 
hardened,  neither  would  he  let  the

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-sgs, 
Go  in  unto  Pha-raoh:  -^for 
I have  hardened  his  heart,  and 
the  heart  of  his  servants,  ’'that  i 
might  shew  these  my  signs  before

E-gypt,  and  my  signs  which  I have 
done  among  them ; that  ye  may 
know  how  that  I am  the  Lord. 

3 And  Mo-sgs  and  Aar-5n  came  m 
unto  Pha-raoH,  and  said  unto  him, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  the 
He'-brews,  How  long  wilt  thou  re- 
fuse to  ^humble  thyself  before  me  { 
let  my  people  go,  that  they  may 

serve  me.  i .l 

4 Else,  if  thou  refuse  to  let  my 
people  go,  behold,  to  morrow  will 
I bring  the  "locusts  into  thy  coast : 

5 And  they  shall  cover  the  face 
of  the  earth,  that  one  cannot  be 
able  to  see  the  earth  : and  nhev 
shall  eat  the  residue  of  that  which 
is  escaped,  which  remaineth  unto 
you  from  the  hail,  and  shall  eat 
every  tree  which  groweth  tor  you 

''eVnd*  they'* shall  fi'l  thy  houses, 
and  the  houses  of  all  thy  servants, 
and  the  houses  of  all  the  E-gyp-

The  plague  of  locusts. 


EXODUS,  11.  The  plague  of  darkness. 


7 And  Pha-raoh’s  servants  said  un- 
to him,  How  long  shall  this  man  be 
"a  snare  unto  us?  let  the  men  g9, 
that  they  may  serve  the  Loud  their 
God : knowest  thou  not  yet  that 
E-gypt  is  destroyed? 

8 And  Mo-ses  and  AAr-hn  were 

brought  again  unto  Phah*aoh  : and 
he  said  unto  them,  Go,  serve  the 
Lord  your  God  : but  ^who  are  they 
that  shall  go  ? ^ 

9 And  Mo-sgs  said.  We  will  go  with 
our  young  and  with  our  old,  with 
our  sons  and  with  our  daughters, 
with  our  flocks  and  with  our  herds 
will  we  go;  for  ®we  must  hold  a 
feast  unto  the  Lord. 

10  And  he  said  unto  them.  Let  the 
Lord  be  so  with  you,  as  I will  let 
you  g(x  and  your  little  ones : look 
to  it:  for  evil  is  before  you. 

11  Not  so:  go  now  ye  that  are 
men,  and  serve  the  Lord  ; for  that 
ye  did  desire.  And  they  were  driven 
out  from  Phah’aoh’s  presence. 

12  H And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo-ses,*  Stretch  out  thine  hand  over 
the  land  of  E-gypt  for  the  locusts, 
that  they  may  come,  up  upon  the 
land  of  E-gypt,  and  *eat  every  herb 
of  the  land,  even  all  that  the  hail 
hath  left. 

13  And  Mo-ses  stretched  forth  his 
rod  ovei-  the  land  of  E-gypt,  and  the 
Lord  brought  an  east  wind  upon 
the  land  all  that  day,  and  all  that 
night ; and  when  it  was  morning, 
the  east  wind  brought  the  locusts. 

14  And  ”*the  locusts  went  up  over

there  were  no  such  locusts  as  they, 
neither  after  them  shall  be  such. 

15  For  they  ^covered  the  face  of 
the  whole  earth,  so  that  the  land 
was  darkened ; and  they  ^did  eat

20  But  the  Lord  ^hardened  Pha- 
raoh’s heart,  so  that  he  would  not 
let  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  go. 

21  ^ And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, ‘^Stretch  out  thine  hand  toward 
heaven,  that  there  may  be  darkness 
over  the  land  of  E-gypt,  ^even  dark- 
ness which  may  be  felt. 

22  And  Mo-ses  stretched  forth  his 
hand  to  war'd  heaven  ; and  there  was 
a ‘^thick  darkness  in  all  the  land  of 
E-gypt  three  days : 

23  They  saw  not  one  another, 
neither  rose  any  from  his  ijlace 
for  three  days : -^but  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el  had  light  in  their 
dwellings. 

24  ^ And  Pha-raoh  called  unto 
Mo-ses,  and  ^'said.  Go  ye,  serve  the 
Lord  ; only  let  your  flocks  and  your 
her’ds  be  stayed  : let  your  ’‘little 
ones  also  go  with  you. 

25  And  Mo-ses  said.  Thou  must 
give /us  also  sacrifices  arid  burnt 
offerings,  that  we  may  sacrifice  unto 
the  Lord  our  God. 

26  Our  cattle  also  shall  go  with 
us  ; there  shall  not  arr  hoof  be  left 
behind  ; for  thereof  must  we  take 
to  .serve  the  Lord  our  God  ; and  we 
know  not  with  what  we  must  serve 
the  Lord,  until  we  come  thither. 

27  U But  the  Lord  ’hardened  Pha- 
r’aoh’s  heart,  and  he  would  not  let 
them  go. 

28  And  Pha-raoh  said  unto  him. 
Get  thee  from  me,  take  heed  to 
thyself,  see  my  face  no  more  ; for 
in  that  day  thou  seest  my  face  thou

CHAPTER  11. 

1 Qod's  message  to  the  Israelites  to  borrow  jewels  of  their 

neighbours.  4 The  firstborn  threatened. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-.s^^s, 
Yet  will  I bring  one  plague 
more  upon  Phah'aoh,  and  upon. 
E-gypt ; afterwards  he  will  let  you 
go  hence : ‘‘when  he  .shall  let  you

people,  and  let  every  man  borrow 
of  his  neighbour,  and  every  woman 
of  her  neighbour,  “jewels  of  silver, 
and  jewels  of  gold.

The  firstborn  threatened.

The  passover  instituted. 


4 And  Mo-ses  said,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  “About  midnight  will  I go 
out  into  the  midst  of  E-gypt : 

5 And  *all  the  firstborn  in  the  land 
of  E-gJTt  shall  die,  from  the  first- 
oorn  of  Pha-raoh  that  sittetr  upon

of  the  maidservant  that  is  behind 
the  mill ; and  all  the  firstborn  of

6 ‘‘And  there  shall  be  a great  cry 
throughout  all  the  land  of  E-gypt, 
such  as  there  was  none  like  it,  nor 
shall  be  like  it  any  more. 

7 -^But  against  any  of  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el  * shall  not  a dog  move  his 
tongue,  against  man  or  beast : that 
ye  may  know  how  that  the  Lord 
doth  put  a difference  between  the 
E-gyp-^ans  and  Is-ra-el. 

8 And  ‘all  these  thy  servants  shall 
come  down  unto  me,  and  bow  d(wn 
themselves  unto  me,  saying,  Get 
thee  out,  and  all  the  people  Hhat 
follow  thee : and  after  that  I will 

fo  out.  And  he  went  out  from 
hah-aoh  in  =^a  great  anger. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-ses, 
” Pha-raoh  shall  not  hearken  unto 
you;  that  ^my  wonders  may  be 
multiplied  in  the  land  of  E-gypt. 

10  And  Mo-ses  and  Aar-On  did 
all  these  wonders  before  Phah’aoh  ; 
« and  the  Lord  hardened  Pha-raoh’s 
heart,  so  that  he  would  not  let  the 
children  of  IshA-el  go  out  of  his  land.

16  And  in  the  first  day  there  shcdl 
he  ^an  holy  convocation,  and  in  the 
seventh  day  there  shall  be  an  holy 
convocation  to  you ; no  manner  of

that  which  every  ’man  must  eat, 
that  only  may  be  done  of  you. 

17  And  ye  shall  observe  the  feast 

of  unleavened  bread ; for  “ in  this 
selfsame  day  have  I brought  your 
armies  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt : 
therefore  shall  ye  observe  this  day 
in  your  generations  by  an  ordinance 
W ever.  ^ 

18  U ‘"In  the  first  month,  on  the 
fourteenth  day  of  the  month  at 
even,  ye  shall  eat  unleavened  bread, 
until  the  one  and  twentieth  day 
of  the  month  at  even.

The  imswver  instituted.  EXODUS,  12. The  Israelites  leave  Egypt. 


19  “Seven  days  shall  there  be  no 
leaven  found  in  your  houses:  for 
whosoever  eateth  that  which  is 
leavened,  ‘^even  that  soul  shall  be 
cut  off  from  the  congregation  of  Is- 
ra-el,  whether  he  be  a stranger,  or 
born  in  the  land. 

20  Ye  shall  eat  nothing  leavened  ; 
in  all  your  habitations  shall  ye  eat 
unleavened  bread. 

21  ^ Then  Mo-ses  called  for  all  the 
elders  of  Is-ra-el,  and  said  unto 
them,  ^Draw  out  and  take  you  a 
Uamb  according  to  your  families, 
and  kill  the  passover. 

22  *And  ye  shall  take  a bunch  of 
hyssop,  and  dip  it  in  the  blood 
that  IS  in  the  bason,  and  * strike 
the  lintel  and  the  two  side  posts 
with  the  blood  that  is  in  the  ba- 
son ; and  none  of  you  shall  go  out 
at  the  door  of  his  house  until  the 
morning. 

23  ”For  the  Lord  will  pass  through 
to  smite  the  E-gyp-tians ; and  when 
he  seeth  the  blood  upon  the  lintel, 
and  on  the  two  side  posts,  the 
Lord  will  pass  over  the  door,  and 
2 will  not  suffer  ^the  destroyer  to 
come  in  unto  your  houses  to  smite 
you. 

24  And  ye  shall  observe  this  thing 
for  an  ordinance  to  thee  and  to  thy 
sons  for  ever. 

25  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when 
ye  be  come  to  the  land  which  the 
Lord  will  give  you,  "'according  as  he 
hath  promised,  that  ye  shall  keep 
this  service. 

26  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when 
your  children  shall  say  unto  you. 
What  mean  ye  by  this  service'? 

27  That  ye  shall  say.  “It  is  the 
sacrifice  of  the  Lord  s passover, 
who  passed  over  the  houses  of  the 
children  of  l§-ra-el  in  E-gypt,  when 
he.  smote  the  E-gyp-tians,  and  de- 
livered our  houses.  And  the  people 
‘"bowed  the  head  and  worshipped. 

28  And  the  children  of  I§-ra-el 
went  away,  and  ‘^did  as  the  Lord 
had  commanded  Mo-ses  and  Aar- 
6n,  so  did  they. 

29  U -^And  it  came  to  pass,  that  at 
midnight  '^the  Lord  smote  all  the 
firstborn  in  the  land  of  E-gypt, 
*from  the  firstborn  of  Pha-raoh 
that  sat  on  his  throne  unto  the 
firstborn  of  the  captive  that  was 
in  the  ^dungeon ; and  all  the  first- 
born of  cattle. 

30  And  Pha-raoh  rose  up  in  the 
night,  he,  and  all  his  servants,  and 
all  the  E-gyp-tians ; and  ther-e  was 
a * great  cry  in  E-gypt;  for  there 
was  not  a house  where  there  was 
not  one  dead.

31  H And  ^he  called  for  Mo-se§  and 
Aar-bn  by  night,  and  said,  Rise  up, 
and  get  you  forth  from  among  my 
people,  ‘^both  ye  and  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el ; and  go,  serve  the  Lord, 
as  ye  have  said. 

32  ®Also  take  your  flocks  and 
vour  herds,  as  ye  have  said,  and 
be  gone ; and  •'^bless  me  also. 

33  ^^And  the  E-gyp-tians  were  ur- 
gent upon  the  people,  that  they 
might  send  them  out  of  the  land 
in  haste ; for  they  said,  *We  he  all 
dead  men. 

34  And  the  people  took  their  dough 
before  it  was  leavened,  their  ^ knead- 
ingtroughs  being  bound  up  in  their 
clothes  upon  their  shoulders. 

35  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  did 
according  to  the  word  of  Mo-ses: 
and  they  borrowed  of  the  E-gyp- 
tians  ’“jewels  of  silver,  and  jewels 
of  gold,  and  raiment : 

36  “And  the  Lord  gave  the  people 
favour  in  the  sight  of  the  E-gyp- 
tians,  so  that  they  lent  unto  them 
such  things  as  they  required.  And 
Pthey  spoiled  the  E-gyp-tjans. 

37  ^ And  *the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
journeyed  from  ^Ram-b-ses  to  Sue- 
ebth,  about  “six  hundred  thousand 
on  foot  that  were  men,  beside  chil- 
dren. 

38  And  ^a  mixed  multitude  went 
up  also  with  them  ; and  flocks,  and 
herds,  even  very  much  cattle. 

39  And  they  baked  unleavened 
cakes  of  the  dough  which  they 
brought  forth  out  of  E-gypt,  for  it 
was  not  leavened ; because  *they 
were  thrust  out  of  E-gypt,  and  could 
not  tarry,  neither  had  they  pre- 
pared for  themselves  any  victual. 

40  H Now  the  sojourning  of  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el,  who  dwelt  in 
E-gypt,  was  ^four  hundred  and 
thirty  years. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  the  four  hundred  and  thirty 
years,  even  the  selfsame  day  it 
came  to  pass,  that  all  “the  hosts 
of  the  Lord  went  out  from  the 
land  of  E-gypt. 

42  It  is  ^a*^  night  to  be  much  ob- 
served unto  the  Lord  for  bringing 
them  out  from  the  land  of  E-gypt : 
this  is  that  night  of  the  Lord  to 
be  observed  of  all  the  children  of 
IsAa-bl  in  their  generations. 

43  H And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo-sbs  and  Aar-on,  This  is  ^the 
ordinance  of  the  passover : There 
shall  no  stranger  eat  thereof: 

44  But  every  man’s  servant  that 
is  bought  for  money,  when  thou 
hast  ’“circumcised  him,  then  shall 
he  eat  thereof.

45  “A  foreigner  and  an  hired  serv- 
ant shall  not  eat  thereof. 

46  In  one  house  shall  it  be  eaten ; 
thou  shalt  not  carry  forth  ought  of 
the  flesh  abroad  out  of  the  house ; 

neither  shall  ye  break  a bone 
thereof.  . » ? , . n 

47  All  the  congregation  01  Is-ra-el

48  And  ®when  a stranger  shall  so- 

journ with  thee,  and  will  keep  the 
passover  to  the  Lord,  let  all  his 
males  be  circumcised,  and  then  let 
him  come  near  and  keep  it ; and  he 
shall  be  as  one  that  is  born  in  the 
land ; for  no  uncircumcised  person 
shall  eat  thereof.  . 

49  ^One  law  shall  be  to  him  that 
is  homeborn,  and  unto  the  stranger 
that  sojourneth  among  you. 

50  Thus  did  all  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el;  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo-ses  and  Aar-5n,  so  did  they. 

51  *And  it  came  to  pass  the  self- 
same day,  that  the  Lord  did  bring 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el  out  of  the 
land  of  E-gypt  'by  their  armies 

CHAPTER  13. 

l The  firstborn  are  sanctified  to  God.  3 The  memorial  of 
the  passover  is  commanded.  11  The  firstlings  of  beasts 
are  set  apart.  17  The  Israelites  go  out  of  Egypt,  and 
carry  Joseph's  bones  with  them.  20  They  come  to  Etham.

born, whatsoever  openeth  the  womb 
among  the  children  of  Is-rAgl,  both

3 ^ And  Mo-ses  said  unto  the  peo- 
ple, ^Remember  this  day,  in  which 
ye  came  out  from  E-gypt,  out  of 
the  house  of  ® bondage;  for  "by 
strength  of  hand  the  Lord  brought 
you  out  from  this  place:  'there

in  that  day,  saying.  This  is  done 
because  of  that  which  the  Lord  did 
unto  me  when  I came  forth  out  of 
E-gypt. 

9 And  it  shall  be  for  '’a  sign  unto 

thee  upon  thine  hand,  and  for  a 
memorial  between  thine  eyes,  that 
the  Lord’s  law  may  be  in  thy 
mouth : for  with  a strong  hand 
hath  the  Lord  brought  thee  out 
of  E-gypt.  . 

10  -^Thou  shalt  therefore  keep  this 
ordinance  in  his  season  from  year 
to  year. 

11  U And  it  shall  be  when  the 
Lord  shall  bring  thee  into  the  land 
of  the  -Ga-naan-ites,  as  he  sware  unto 
thee  and  to  thy  fathers,  and  shall 
give  it  thee, 

12  ''That  thou  shalt  ^set  apart  un- 
to the  Lord  all  that  openeth  the 
matrix,  and  every  firstling  that 
cometh  of  a beast  which  thou  hast ; 
the  males  shall  be  the  Lord’s. 

13  And  * every  firstling  of  an  ^s 
thou  shalt  redeem  with  a flamb; 
and  if  thou  wilt  not  redeem  it,  then 
thou  shalt  break  his  neck : and  all 
the  firstborn  of  man  among  thy 
children  shalt  thou  redeem. 

14  II  ”And  it  shall  be  when  thy  son 

asketh  thee  ^in  time  to  come,  saying. 
What  is  thisl  that  thou  shalt  say 
unto  him,  "By  strength  of  hand  the 
Lord  brought  us  out  from  E-gypt, 
from  the  house  of  bondage  : ^ 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Pha- 
raoh would  hardly  let  us  go,  that 
®the  Lord  slew  all  the  firstborn  in 
the  land  of  E-gypt,  both  the  first- 
born of  man,  and  the  firstborn  ot 
beast : therefore  I sacrifice  to  the 
Lord  all  that  openeth  the  matrix, 
being  males ; but  all  the  firstborn 
of  my  children  I redeem. 

1 6 And  it  shall  be  for  ^'a  token  upon 
thine  hand,  and  for  frontlets  be- 
tween thine  eyes:  for  by  strength 
of  hand  the  Lord  brought  us  forth 
out  of  E-gypt. 

17  H And  it  came  to  pass,  when 

Pha-raoh  had  let  the  people  go,  that 
God  led  them  not  through  the  way 
of  the  land  of  the  Phi-lls-tines, 
though  that  was  near  ; for  God  said. 
Lest  peradventure  the  people  “re- 
pent when  they  see  war,  and  "they 
return  to  E-gypt : , , 

18  But  God  "led  the  people  about, 
through  the  way  of  the  wilderness 
of  the  Red  sea:  and  the  children 
of  Is-ra-6l  went  up  ® harnessed  out 
of  the  land  of  E-gypt. 

19  And  Mo-s^s  took  the  bones  of 
Jo-seph  with  him:  for  he  had  straitly 
sworn  the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  say- 
ing, •’'God  will  surely  visit  you  ; and 


Pharaoh  'pur&neth  them.  EXODUS,  14.  God  instructeth  Moses. 


ye  shall  carry  up  my  bones  away 
hence  with  you.  , . 

20  H And  Hhey  took  their  journey 
from  Suc-c5th.  and  encamped  in  E- 
tham,  in  the  edge  of  the  wilderness. 

21  And  ‘^the  Lord  went  before 
them  by  day  in  a pillar  of  a cloud, 
to  lead  them  the  way ; and  by  night 
in  a pillar  of  fire,  to  give  them  light ; 
to  go  by  day  and  night : 

22  He  took  not  away  the  pillar  of 
the  cloud  by  day,  nor  the  pillar  of 
fire  by  night,  from  before  the  people.

1 God  instructeth  the  Israelites.  5 Pharaoh  pursueth 
them.  10  The  Israelites  murmur.  13  Moses  comforteth 
them.  15  God  instructeth  Moses.  19  The  cloud  remov- 
eth.  21  The  Israelites  pass  through  the  Red  sea.  26  The 
Egyptians  drovmed. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-s6s, 
saying, 

2 Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-6l,  ^'that  they  turn  and  encamp 
before  *Pi-ha-hi-r6th,  between  *Mig- 
d6l  and  the  sea,  over  against  Ba-al- 
ze-phOn : before  it  shall  ye  encamp 
by  the  sea. 

3 For  Pha-raoh  will  say  of  the 
children  of  Is-ra-6l,  ’"They  are  en- 
tangled in  the  land,  the  wilderness 
hath  shut  them  in. 

4 And  "I  will  harden  Pha-raoh ’s 
heart,  that  he  shall  follow  after 
them ; and  I ^will  be  honoured  upon 
Pha-raoh,  and  upon  all  his  host ; 
''that  the  E-gyp-tians  may  know 
that  I am  the  Lord.  And  they 
did  so. 

5 51  And  it  was  told  the  king  of 
E-g:^pt  that  the  people  fled : and 
“the  neart  of  Pha-raoh  and  of  his 
servants  was  turned  against  the 
people,  and  they  said.  Why  have 
we  done  this,  that  we  have  let  Is- 
ra-6l  go  from  serving  us*? 

6 And  he  made  ready  his  chariot, 
and  took  his  people  with  him : 

7 And  he  took  ^six  hundred  chosen 
chariots,  and  all  the  chariots  of 
E-gyp t,  and  captains  over  every 
one  of  them. 

8 And  the  Lord  ^hardened  the

the  children  of  Is-ra-6l  “cried  out 
unto  the  Lord. 

11  ‘'And  they  said  unto  Mo-s6s, 
Because  there  were  no  graves  in 
E-gypt,  hast  thou  taken  us  away 
to  die  in  the  wilderness^  where- 
fore hast  thou  dealt  thus  with  us, 
to  carry  us  forth  out  of  E-gypt  1 

12  not  this  the  word  that  we 
did  tell  thee  in  E-gypt,  saying, 
Let  us  alone,  that  we  may  serve 
the  E-gyp-tians'?  For  it  had  been 
better  for  us  to  serve  the  E-gyp- 
tians,  than  that  we  should  die  in 
the  wilderness, 

13  51  And  Mo-se§  said  unto  the 
people,  -^Fear  y’e  not,  stand  still, 
and  see  the  salvation  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  will  shew  to  you  to  day: 
Hor  the  E-gyp-tians  whom  ye  have 
seen  to  day,  ye  shall  see  them  again 
no  more  for  ever. 

14  '‘The  Lord  shall  fight  for  you, 
and  ye  shall  'hold  your  peace. 

15  51  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, Wherefore  criest  thou  unto  me'? 
speak  unto  the  children  of  I§-ra-el, 
that  they  go  forward : 

16  But  "lift  thou  up  thy  rod,  and 
stretch  out  thine  hand  over  the 
sea,  and  divide  it:  and  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el  shall  go  on  dry  ground 
through  the  midst  of  the  sea. 

17  And  I,  behold,^  I will  « harden 
the  hearts  of  the  E-gyp-tian§,  and 
they  shall  follow  them:  and  I will 
*get  me  honour  upon  Pha-raoh,  and 
upon  all  his  host,  upon  his  chariots, 
and  upon  his  horsemen. 

18  And  the  E-gyp-tians  'shall 
know  that  I am  the  Lord,  when  I 
have  gotten  me  honour  upon  Pha- 
raoh, upon  his  chariots,  and  upon 
his  horsemen. 

19  51  And  the  angel  of  God,  * which 
went  before  the  camp  of  Is-ra-el,  re- 
moved and  went  behind  them ; and 
the  pillar  of  the  cloud  went  from 
before  their  face,  and  stood  behind 
them : 

20  And  it  came  between  the  camp 
of  the  E-gyp-tians  and  the  camp  of 
IshA-6l;  and  “it  was  a cloud  and 
darkness  to  them,  but  it  gave  light  by 
night  to  these : so  that  the  one  came 
not  near  the  other  all  the  night. 

21  And  M6-s6s  ‘'stretched  out  his 
hand  over  the  sea;  and  the  Lord 
caused  the  sea  to  go  hack  by  a 
strong  east  wind  all  that  night,  and 
“made  the  sea  dry  land,  and  the 
waters  were  •'^divided. 

22  And  “the  children  of  Is-ra-6l 
went  into  the  midst  of  the  sea  upon 
the  dry  grownd:  and  the  waters 
were  '‘a  wall  unto  theni  on  their 
right  hand,  and  on  their  left.

23  U And  the  E-gyp%ans  pur- 

sued, and  went  in  after  thern  to 
the  midst  of  the  sea,  even  all  Pha- 
raoh’s horses,  his  chariots,  and  his 
horsemen.  , ^ . i. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in  the 
morning  watch  Hhe  Lord  looked 
unto  the  host  of  the  E-gyp-tians 
through  the  pillar  of  fire  and  ot 
the  cloud,  and  troubled  the  host 
of  the  E-gyp-Uans 

25  And  took  on  their  chariot 
wheels,  Hhat  they  drave  them  heav- 
ily: so  that  the  E-gyp-tians  said. 
Let  us  flee  from  the  face  of  Is-ra-el ; 
for  the  Lord  *fighteth  for  them 
against  the  B-gyp-tians.  ^ 

26  U And  the  Lord  said  unto 

M6-s6§,  ” Stretch  out  thine  hand 
over  the  sea,  that  the  waters  may 
come  again  upon  the  E-gyp-tians, 
upon  their  chariots,  and  upon  their 
horsemen.  ^ ^ ^ ... 

27  And  Mo-§gs  stretched  forth  his 
hand  over  the  sea,  and  the  sea  ’'re- 
turned to  his  strength  when  the 
morning  appeared ; and  the  E-gyp- 
tians  fled  against  it ; and  the  Lord 

* overthrew®  the  E-gyp-tians  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea. 

28  And  ^'the  waters  returned,  and 

* covered  the  chariots,  and  the 

horsemen,  and  all  the  host  of  Pha- 
raoh that  came  into  the  sea  after 
them ; there  remained  not  so  much 
as  one  of  them.  „ ^ , 

29  But  ‘^the  children  of  Is-ra^gl 
walked  upon  dry  land  in  the 
midst  of  tne  sea ; and  the  waters 
were  a wall  unto  them  on  their 
right  hand,  and  on  their  left. 

30  Thus  the  Lord  ^ saved  ls-ra-6l 
that  day  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
E-gyp-tians ; and  ls-r4-el  ’ saw  the 
E-gyp-tians  dead  upon  the  sea 
shore. 

31  And  Is-ra-el  saw  that  great 
®work  which  the  Lord  did  upon 
the  E-gyp-tians : and  the  people 
feared  the  Lord,  and  ^ believed  the 
Lord,  and  his  servant  Mo-ses.

thou  sentest  forth  thy  wrath,  which 

* consumed  them  "’^as  stubble.

Lord  brought  again  the  waters  of 
the  sea  upon  them;  but  the  chil-

in  the  midst  of  the  sea. 

20  H And^  Mir-i-am  Hhe  prophet-

*Sing  ye  to  the  Lord,  for  he  hath

and  his  rider  hath  he  thrown  into

22  So  Mo-sgs  brought  Is-ra-el  from 
the  Red  sea,  and  they  went  out 
into  the  wilderness  of  ’"Shur;  and 
they  went  three  days  in  the  wil-

23  H And  when  they  came  to 
®Ma-rah,  they  could  not  drink  of 
the  waters  of  Ma-rah,  for  they 
were  bitter : therefore  the  name 
of  it  was  called  ‘^Ma-rah. 

24  And  the  people  '^murmured 
against  Mo-sgs,  saying.  What  shall 
we  drink"? 

25  And  he  * cried  unto  the  Lord; 
and  the  Lord  shewed  him  a tree, 
^ which  when  he  had  cast  into  the 
waters,  the  waters  were  made 
sweet:  there  he  *made  for  them  a 
statute  and  an  ordinance,  and  there 
^he  proved  them, 

26  And  said,  Uf  thou  wilt  dili- 
gently hearken  to  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  wilt  do  that 
which  is  right  in  his  sight,  and  wilt 
give  ear  bo  his  commandments,  and 
keep  all  his  statutes,  I will  put 
none  of  these  * diseases  upon  thee, 
which  I have  brought  upon  the 
E-gyp-tians : for  I am  the  Lord 
‘*that  healeth  thee. 

27  H ®And  they  came  to  Edim, 
where  were  twelve  wells  of  water, 
and  threescore  and  ten  palm  trees : 
and  they  encamped  there  by  the

3 And  the  children  of  l§-ra-gl  said 

unto  them,  * Would  to  God  we  had 
died  by  the  hand  of  the  Lord  in 
the  land  of  E-gypt,  “when  we  sat 
by  the  flesh  pots,  and  when  we  did 
eat  bread  to  the  full;  for  ye  have 
brought  us  forth  into  this  wilder- 
ness, to  kill  this  whole  assembly 
with  hunger. 

4 H Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
Mo-sgs,  Behold,  I will  rain  * bread 
from  heaven  for  you  ; and  the  peo- 
ple shall  go  out  and  gather  ^a  cer- 
tain rate  every  day,  that  I may 
^ prove  them,  whether  they  will 
walk  in  my  law,  or  no. 

5 And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
on  the  sixth  day  they  shall  prepare 
that  which  they  bring  in ; and  “it 
shall  be  twice  as  much  as  they 
gather  daily. 

6 And  Mo-sgs  and  Aar-gn  said  un- 
to all  the  children  of  Isb-a-gl,  ^At 
even,  then  ye  shall  know  that  the 
Lord  hath  brought  you  out  from 
the  land  of  E-gypt: 

7 And  in  the  morning,  then  ye 
shall  see  ^the  glory  of  the  Lord; 
for  that  he  heareth  your  murmur- 
ings  against  the  Lord:  and  *what 
are  we,  that  ye  murmur  against  us"? 

8 And  Mo-sgs  said.  This  shall  be, 
when  the  Lord  shall  give  you  in 
the  evening  flesh  to  eat,  and  in  the 
morning  bread  to  the  full ; for  that 
the  Lord  heareth  your  murmurings 
which  ye  murmur  against  him : and 
what  are  wel  your  murmurings 
are  not  against  us,  but  “against  the 
Lord. 

9 U And  Mo-sgs  spake  unto  Aar-gn, 
Say  unto  all  the  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Is-ra-gl,  “Come  near 
before  the  Lord  : for  he  hath  heard 
your  murmurings. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Aar-gn 
spake  unto  the  whole  congregation 
of  the  children  of  Is-iA-gl,  that  they 
looked  toward  the  wilderness,  and, 
behold,  the  glory  of  the  Lord  ^ap- 
peared in  the  cloud. 

1 1 H And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-§gs,  saying, 

have  heard  the  murmuring.s 
of  the  children  of  Is-ra-gl : speak 
unto  them,  saying,  JAt  even  ye 
shall  eat  flesh,  and  ^in  the  morn 
ing  ye  shall  be  filled  with  bread ; 
and  ye  shall  know  that  I am  the 
Lord  your  God. 

1 3 And  it  came  to  pass,  that  at 
even  ”^the  quails  came  up,  and 
covered  the  camp : and  in  the 
morning  ”the  dew  lay  round  about 
the  host. 

14  And  when  the  dew  that  lay 
was  gone  up,  behold,  upon  the  face 


69 


Manna  is  sent. 


EXODUS,  17. 


The  Israelites  rrmrmur. 


of  the  wilderness  there  lay  ®a  small 

round  thing,  as  small  as  the  hoar 
frost  on  the  ground.  ^ 

15  And  when  the  children  ot  Is- 
ra-gl  saw  it,  they  said  one  to  another, 
^It  is  man-na:  for  they  wist  not 
what  it  was.  And  Mo-s6s  said  unto 
them,  *This  is  the  bread  which  the 
IjORD  hath  given  you  to  eat. 

16  51  This  is  the  thing  which  the 
Lord  hath  commanded.  Gather  of 
it  every  man  according  to  his  eat- 
ing, ‘^an  o-mer  ‘“^for  every  man,  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  your  ^per- 
sons: take  ye  every  man  for  them 
which  are  in  his  tents. 

17  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  did 
so,  and  gathered,  some  more,  some 
less. 

18*  And  when  they  did  mete  it 
with  an  o-mer,  ®he  that  gathered 
much  had  nothing  over,  and  he 
that  gathered  little  had  no  lack  ; 
they  gathered  every  man  accord- 
ing to  his  eating. 

19  And  Mo-ses  said.  Let  no  man 
leave  of  it  till  the  morning. 

20  Notwithstanding  they  heark- 
ened not  unto  Mo-ses ; but  some  of 
them  left  of  it  until  the  morning, 
and  it  bred  worms,  and  stank : and 
Mo-§e§  was  wroth  with  them. 

21  And  they  gathered  it  , every 
morning,  every  man  according  to 
his  eating : and  when  the  sun  waxed 
hot,  it  melted. 

22  51  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on 
the  sixth  day  they  gathered  twice 
as  much  bread,  two  o-mers  for  one 
man : and  all  the  rulers  of  the  con 
gregation  came  and  told  Mo-ses. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them.  This 
is  that  which  the  Lord  hath  said. 
To  morrow  is  ^the  rest  of  the  holy 
sabbath  unto  the  Lord  : bake  that 
which  ye  will  bake  to  day,  and 
seethe  that  ye  will  seethe ; and 
that  which  remaineth  over  lay  up 
for  you  to  be  kept  until  the  morning. 

24  And  they  laid  it  up  till  the 
morning,  as  Mo-ses  bade : and  it 
did  not  ^ stink,  neither  was  there 
any  worm  therein. 

25  And  Mo-ses  said.  Eat  that  to 
day ; for  to  day  is  a sabbath  unto 
the  Lord  : to  day  ye  shall  not  find 
it  in  the  field. 

26  «Six  days  ye  shall  gather  it ; 
but  on  the  seventh  day,  which  is  the 
sabbath,  in  it  there  shall  be  none. 

27  51  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
there  went  out  some  of  the  people 
on  the  seventh  day  for  to  gather, 
tind  they  found  none. 

28  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-se§, 
How  long  ‘refuse  ye  to  keep  my 
commandments  and  my  laws'!

29  See,  for  that  the  Lord  hath 
given  you  the  sabbath,  therefore 
he  giveth  you  on  the  sixth  day  the 
bread  of  two  days ; abide  ye  every 
man  in  his  place,  let  no  man  go  out 
of  his  place  on  the  seventh  day. 

30  So  the  people  rested  on  the 

seventh  day.  .. 

31  And  the  house  of  I§-ra-6l  called 
the  name  thereof  Man-na : and  “"it 
was  like  coriander  seed,  white ; and 
the  taste  of  it  was  like  wafers  made 
with  honey. 

32  51  And  Mo-ses  said.  This  is  the 
thing  which  the  Lord  commandeth. 
Fill  an  o-mer  of  it  to  be  kept  for 
your  generations ; that  they  may 
see  the  bread  wherewith  I have 
fed  you  in  the  wilderness,  when  I 
brought  you  forth  from  the  land  of 
B-gypt. 

33  And  Mo-s6s  said  unto  Aar-6n, 

•‘Take  a pot,  and  put  an  o-mer  full 
of  man-na  therein,  and  lay  it  up 
before  the  Lord,  to  be  kept  for 
your  generations.  i i tit  r 

34  As  the  Lord  commanded  Mo- 
ses, so  Aar-6n  laid  it  up  before 
the  Testimony,  to  be  k^t. 

35  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  did 
eat  man-na  ^forty  years,  *until  they 
came  to  a land  inhabited  ; they  did 
eat  man-na,  until  they  came  unto 
the  borders  of  the  land  of  -Ga-naan. 

36  Now  an  o-mer  is  the  tenth 
of  an  e-phah. 

CHAPTER  17. 

1 The  people  murmur  for  water.  5 God  sendeth  Moses 
for  water  to  the  rock  in  Horcb.  8 Amalek  is  overcome. 
15  Moses  buildeth  the  altar  Jehovah-nissi. 

AND  *all  the  congregation  of  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el  journeyed 
from  the  wilderness  of  Sin,  after 
their  journeys,  according  to  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord,  and 
pitched  in  Reph-i-dim  : and  there 
was  no  water  for  the  people  to  drink. 

2 "'Wherefore  the  people  did  chide 
with  Mo-se§,  and  said,  Give  us  water 
that  we  may  drink.  And  Mo-§es 
said  unto  them.  Why  chide  ye  with 
me'?  wherefore  do  ye  nempt  the 

Lord^  , . 1 ,1 

3 And  the  people  thirsted  there 

for  water ; and  the  people  ^ mur- 
mured against  Mo-s6s,  and  said. 
Wherefore  is  this  that  thou  hast 
brought  us  up  out  of  E-gypt,  to  kill 
us  and  our  children  and  our  cattle 
with  thirst  % . _ 

4 And  Mo-ses  "cried  unto  the  Lord, 
saying.  What  shall  I do  unto  this 
people'?  they  be  almost  ready  to 
‘stone  me. 

5 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-§6s, 
“Go  on  before  the  people,  and  take 
with  thee  of  the  elders  of  I§-ra-el; 


EXODUS,  18. 


Amaleh  is  overcome, 

and  thy  rod,  wherewith  “thou  smot- 
est  the  river,  take  in  thine  hand, 
and  go. 

6 "^Behold,  I will  stand  before  thee 
there  upon  the  rock  in  Ho-reb;  and 
thou  shalt  smite  the  rock,  and  there 
shall  come  water  out  of  it,  that  the 
people  may  drink.  And  Mo-§es  did 
so  in  the  sight  of  the  elders  of  Is- 
ra-6l. 

7 And  he  called  the  name  of  the 
place -^Mas-sah,^  and^M6r4-bah,  be- 
cause of  the  chiding  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-6l,  and  because  they 
tempted  the  Lord,  saying.  Is  the 
Lord  among  us,  or  nof? 

8 IT  *Then  came  Am-a-lek,  and 
fought  with  Is-ra^el  in  BSph-i-dim. 

9 And  Mo-se?  said  unto  *J5sh-u-a, 
Choose  us  out  men,  and  go  out, 
fight  with  Am-a-lek : to  morrow  I 
will  stand  on  the  top  of  the  hill 
with  ^ the  rod  of  God  in  mine 
hand. 

10  So  J5sh-u-a  did  as  Mo-ses  had 
said  to  him,  and  fought  with  Am- 
a-lek  : and  Mo-ses,  Aar-5n,  and  Hur 
went  up  to  the  top  of  the  hill. 

1 1 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Mo- 
§e§  "held  up  his  hand,  that  Is-ra-6l 
prevailed:  and  when  he  let  down 
his  hand,  Am-a-lek  prevailed. 

1 2 But  Mo-s6s’  hands  were  heavy ; 
and  they  took  a stone,  and  put  it 
under  him,  and  he  sat  thereon; 
and  Aar-dn  and  Hur  stayed  up  his 
hands,  the  one  on  the  one  side,  and 
the  other  on  the  other  side ; and  his 
hands  were  steady  until  the  going 
down  of  the  sun. 

13  And  J5sh-u-a  discomfited  Am- 
a-lek  and  his  people  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword. 

14  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
sg§,  * Write  this  for  a memorial  in 
a book,  and  rehearse  it  in  the  ears 
of  J6sh-u-a : for  "I  will  utterly  put 
out  the  remembrance  of  Am-S,-l6k 
from  under  heaven. 

15  And  Mo-ses  built  an  altar,  and 
called  the  name  of  it  ^Jo-ho-vah- 
nis-si : 

16  For  he  said,  ® Because  ^the  Lord 
hath  sworn  that  the  Lord  will  have 
war  with  Am-a-l6k  from  generation 
to  generation. 

CHAPTER  18. 

1 Jethro  hringeth  to  Moses  Ms  wife  and  two  sons.  V Moses 

entertaineth  him.  13  Jethro's  counsel  is  accepted.  27 

Jethro  departeth. 

WHEN"  ^Je-thro,  the  priest  of 
Mid-i-an,  Mo-s6s’  father  in  law, 
heard  of  all  that  *G9d  had  done  for 
Mo-§6s,  and  for  Is-ra-6l  his  people, 
and  that  the  Lord  had  brought  Is- 
ra-6l  out  of  E-gypt ; 

2  Then  Je-thro,  Mo-§6s’  father  in 


Of  Moses  and  Jethro. 

law,  took  Zip-pob*ah,  Mo-§6s’  wife, 
* after  he  had  sent  her  back, 

3 And  her  ‘'two  sons ; of  which 
the  ®name  of  the  one  was  ^Ger- 
sh5m ; for  he  said,  I have  been  an 
alien  in  a strange  land : 

4 And  the  name  of  the  other 
was  ^E-li-e^zer,  for  the  God  of  my 
father,  said  he,  was  mine  help, 
and  delivered  me  from  the  sword 
of  Pha-raoh : 

5 And  Je-thro,  Mo-s6s’  father  in 
law,  came  with  his  sons  and  his 
wife  unto  Mo-ses  into  the  wilder- 
ness, where  he  encamped  at  ^ the 
mount  of  God : 

6 And  he  said  unto  Mo-ses,  I thy 
father  in  law  Je-thro  am  come  unto 
thee,  and  thy  wife,  and  her  two 
sons  with  her. 

7 IT  And  Mo-ses  went  out  to  meet 
his  father  in  law,  and  did  obeisance, 
and  ""kissed  him;  and  they  asked 
each  other  of  their  ® welfare;  and 
they  came  into  the  tent. 

8 And  Mo-ses  told  his  father  in 
law  all  that  the  Lord  had  done 
unto  Phah*aoh  and  to  the  E-gyp- 
tians  for  Isb'a-tTs  sake,  and  all  the 
travail  that  had  ® come  upon  them 
by  the  way,  and  how  the  Lord  ‘'de- 
livered them. 

9 And  Je-thro  rejoiced  for  all  the 
goodness  which  the  Lord  had  done 
to  Is-ra-el,  whom  he  had  delivered 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  E-gyp-tians. 

10  And  Je-thro  said,  ^Blessed  be 
the  Lord,  who  hath  delivered  you 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  E-gyp-tians, 
and  out  of  the  hand  of  Phab'aoh, 
who  hath  delivered  the  people  from 
under  the  hand  of  the  E-gyp-tians. 

11  Now  I know  that  the  Lord  is 
^greater  than  all  gods : "for  in  the 
thing  wherein  they  dealt  ^proudly 
he  was  above  them. 

12  And  Je-thro,  Mo-ses’  father  in 
law,  took  a burnt  offering  and  sac- 
rifices for  God : and  Aar-6n  came, 
and  all  the  elders  of  Is-ra-el,  to  eat 
bread  with  Mo-ses’  father  in  law 
""  before  God. 

13  ^ And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  Mo-ses  sat  to  judge 
the  people:  and  the  people  stood 
by  Mo-ses  from  the  morning  unto 
the  evening. 

14  And  when  Mo-sgs’  father  in  law 
saw  all  that  he  did  to  the  peonle, 
he  said.  What  is  this  thing  that 
thou  doest  to  the  people?  why 
sittest  thou  thyself  alone,  and  all 
the  people  stand  by  thee  from 
morning  unto  even? 

15  And  Mo-sg§  said  unto  his  father 
in  law.  Because  ""the  people  come 
unto  me  to  enquire  of  God:

Jethro’s  counsel  to  Moses. 

16  When  they  have  “a  matter, 
they  come  unto  me ; and  I judge 
between  ^one  and  another,  and  I 
do  ‘'make  them  know  the  statutes 
of  God,  and  his  laws. 

17  And  Mo-ses’  father  in  law  said 
unto  him.  The  thing  that  thou  doest 
is  not  good. 

18  ‘-^Thou  wilt  surely  wear  away, 
both  thou,  and  this  people  that  is 
with  thee:  for  this  thing  is  too 
heavy  for  thee ; ^ thou  art  not  able 
to  perform  it  thyself  alone. 

19  Hearken  now  unto  my  voice, 

I  will  give  thee  counsel,  and  *God 
shall  be  with  thee : Be  thou  for 
the  people  to  God-ward,  that  thou 
mayest  ” bring  the  causes  unto 
God : , , 

20  And  thou  shalt  teach  them 
ordinances  and  laws,  and  shalt 
shew  them  the  way  wherein  they 
must  walk,  and  Hhe  work  that 
they  must  do. 

21  J^Ioreover  thou  shalt  provide 
out  of  all  the  people  ^'able  men,  such 
as  Hear  God,  ‘"men  of  truth,  ^hating 
covetousness ; and  place  such  over 
them,  to  be  rulers  of  thousands,  (ind 
rulers  of  hundreds,  rulers  of  fifties, 
and  rulers  of  tens  : 

22  And  let  them  judge  the  people 
^ at  all  seasons : ® and  it  shall  be, 
that  every  great  matter  they  shall 
bring  unto  thee,  but  every  small 
matter  they  shall  judge : so  shall 
it  be  easier  for  thyself, _ and  ^they 
shall  bear  the  burden  with  thee. 

23  If  thou  shalt  do  this  thing,  and 
God  command  thee  so,  then  thou 
shalt  be  ^able  to  endure,  and  all 
this  people  shall  also  go  to  Hheir 
place  in  peace. 

24  So  Mo-ses  hearkened  to  the 
voice  of  his  father  in  law,  and  did 
all  that  he  had  said. 

25  And  ""Mo-ses  chose  able  men 
out  of  all  IsH^el,  and  m^ade  thein 
heads  over  the  people,  rulers  ot 
thousands,  rulers  of  hundreds,  rul 
ers  of  fifties,  and  rulers  of  tens. 

26  And  they  ^ judged  the  people  at 

all  seasons : the  "■  hard  causes  they 
brought  unto  ]\Io-ses,  but  every 
small  matter  they  judged  them 
selves.  , . p 1 

27  U And  Mo-ses  let  his  father  in 
law  depart ; and  *he  went  his  way 
into  his  own  land.

forth  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  the 

same  day  * came  they  into  the  wil- 
derness of  Si-nai. 

2 For  they  were  departed  from 
Reph-i-dim,  and  were  come  to  the 

desert  of  Si-nai,  and  had  pitched  in 
the  wilderness ; and  there  IsHa-6l 
camped  before  Hhe  mount. 

3 And  •''Mo-ses  went  up  unto  God, 
and  the  Lord /’called  unto  him  out 
of  the  mountain,  saying,  Thus  shalt 
thou  say  to  the  house  of  Ja^Ob,  and 
tell  the  children  of  Is-ra-el ; ^ 

4 "Ye  have  seen  what  I did  unto 
the  E-gypHians,  and  how  H bare 
you  on  eagles’  wings,  and  brought 
you  unto  myself. 

5 Now  ‘’therefore,  if  ye  will  obey 
my  voice  indeed,  and  keep  my  cov- 
enant, then  ye  shall  be  a peculiar 
treasure  unto  me  above  all  people : 
for  *all  the  earth  is  mine  : 

6 And  ye  shall  be  unto  me  a 
""  kingdom  of  priests,  and  an  holy 
nation.  These  are  the  words  which 
thou  shalt  speak  unto  the  children 

of  IsHa-el.  n 1 P 

7 ^ And  Mo-s6s  came  and  called  tor 
the  elders  of’  the  people,  and  laid 
before  their  faces  all  these  words 
which  the  Lord  commanded  him. 

8 And  ‘'all  the  people  answered 

together,  and  said.  All  that  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  we  will  do.  And 
Mo-ses  returned  the  words  of  the 
people  unto  the  Lord.  ^ 

9 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-s/s, 

Lo,  I come  unto  thee  ^ in  a thick 
cloud,  '"that  the ^ people  may  hear 
when  I speak  with  thee,  and  " be- 
lieve thee  for  ever.  And  Mo-s6s 
told  the  words  of  the  people  unto 
the  Lord.  . , , 

10  H And  the  Lord  said  unto 
IMo-ses,  Go  unto  the  people,  and 
""sahc’tify  them  to  day  and  to  mor- 
row, and  let  them  ‘"wash  their 
clothes, 

11  And  be  ready  against  the  third 
day : for  the  third  day  the  Lord 
^ will  come  down  in  the  sight_  of  all 
the  people  upon  mount  Si-nai. 

12  And  thou  shalt  set  bounds  un- 

to the  people  round  about,  saying. 
Take  heed  to  yourselves,  that  ye 
go  not  up  into  the  mount,  or  touch 
the  border  of  it : ^vhosoever  touch- 
eth  the  mount  shall  be  surely  put 
to  death : , i i i 

13  There  shall  not  an  hand  touch 
it,  but  he  shall  surely  be  stoned,  or 
shot  through ; whether  it  be  beast 
or  man,  it  shall  not  live : when  the 
""  trumpet^  soundeth  long,  they  shall 
come  up  to  the  mount. 

j 14  H And  Mo-s6s  went  down  from 
I the  mount  unto  the  people,  and

“sanctified  the  people;  and  they 
washed  their  clothes. 

15  And  he  said  unto  the  people, 
*Be  ready  against  the  third  day: 
‘*come  not  at  your  wives. 

16  U And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
third  day  in  the  morning,  that  there 
were  ^thunders  and  lightnings,  and 
a ''thick  cloud  upon  the  mount,  and 
the  'voice  of  the  trumpet  exceeding 
loud ; so  that  all  the  people  that 
was  in  the  camp  Hrembled. 

17  And  ”'Mo-§6s  brought  forth  the 
people  out  of  the  camp  to  meet 
with  God;  and  they  stood  at  the 
nether  part  of  the  mount. 

18  And  Amount  Si'nai  was  alto- 
gether on  a smoke,  because  the 
Lord  descended  upon  it  in  fire : 
*and  the  smoke  thereot  ascended  as 
the  smoke  of  a furnace,  and  “the 
whole  mount  quaked  greatly. 

19  And  ^when  the  voice  of  the 
trumpet  sounded  long,  and  waxed 
louder  and  louder,  "Mo-ses  spake, 
and  “God  answered  him  by  a voice. 

20  And  the  LoRD  came  down  upon 
mount  Si'nai,  on  the  top  of  the 
mount : and  the  Lord  called  Mo'ses 
up  to  the  top  of  the  mount;  and 
Mo'§es  went  up. 

21  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-ses, 
Go  down,  ^charge  the  people,  lest 
they  break  through  unto  the  Lord 
'^to  gaze,  and  many  of  them  perish. 

22  And  let  the  priests  also,  which 
come  near  to  the  Lord,  •''sanctify 
themselves,  lest  the  Lord  ^ break 
forth  upon  them. 

23  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  Lord, 
The  people  cannot  come  up  to 
mount  Si-nai : for  thou  chargedst 
us,  saying,  'Set  bounds  about  the 
mount,  and  sanctify  it. 

24-  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
Away,  get  thee  down,  and  thou 
shaft  come  up,  thou,  and  Aar-5n 
with  thee:  but  let  not  the  priests 
and  the  people  break  through  to 
come  up  unto  the  Lord,  lest  he 
break  forth  upon  them. 

25  So  Mo-§6s  went  down  unto  the 
people,  and  spake  unto  them.

and  all  the  judgments  : and  all  the 
people  answered  with  one  voice, 
and  said,  *A11  the  words  which  the

4 And  Mo-ses  'wrote  all  the  words

the  morning,  and  builded  an  altar 
under  the  hill,  and  twelve  “pillars,

5 And  he  sent  young  men  of  the

burnt  offerings,  and  sacrificed  peace

sprinkled  it  on  the  people,  and  said. 
Behold  “the  blood  of  the  covenant,

ing : *of  every  man  that  giveth  it 
willingly  with  his  heart  ye  shall

4 And  blue,  and  purple,  and  scar- 
let, and  ^fine  linen,  and  goats’  hair, 

5 And  rams’  skins  dyed  red,  and

6 "Oil  for  the  light,  "spices  for  an- 
ointing oil,  and  for  ^sweet  incense, 

7 Onyx  stones,  and  stones  to  be 
set  in  the  ’’Sph-Od,  and  in  the 
® breastplate. 

8 And  let  them  make  me  a * sanc- 
tuary; that  "I  may  dwell  among 
them. 

9 ^According  to  all  that  I shew 
thee,  after  the  pattern  of  the 
tabernacle,  and  the  pattern  of  all 
the  instruments  thereof,  even  so 
shall  ye  make  it. 

10  U *And  they  shall  make  an  ark

ark  that  the  ark  may  be  borne 
with  them. 

15  "The  staves  shall  be  in  the 
rings  of  the  ark:  they  shall  not 
be  taken  from  it. 

16  And  thou  shalt  put  into  the

19  And  make  one  cher-ub  on  the 
one  end,  and  the  other  cher-ub  on 
the  other  end : even  ^ of  the  mercy 
seat  shall  ye  make  the  cher-U-bims

wings,  and  their  faces  shall  look 
one  to  another;  toward  the  mercy 
seat  shall  the  faces  of  the  cher-U- 
bims  be. 

21  *And  thou  shalt  put  the  mercy 
seat  above  upon  the  ark ; and  bn 
the  ark  thou  shalt  put  the  testi- 
mony that  I shall  give  thee. 

22  And  ""there  I will  meet  with 
thee,  and  I will  commune  with 
thee  from  above  the  mercy  seat, 
from  ® between  the  two  cher-U-bims 
which  are  upon  the  ark  of  the 
testimony,  of  all  things  which  I 
will  give  thee  in  commandment 
unto  the  children  of  Is-ra-el. 

23  ^ '*'Thou  shalt  also  make  a table 
of  shit-tim  wood : two  cubits  shall 
he  the  length  thereof,  and  a cubit 
the  breadth  thereof,  and  a cubit

24  And  thou  shalt  overlay  it  with 
pure  gold,  and  make  thereto  a crown 
of  gold  round  about. 

25  And  thou  shalt  make  unto  it  a 
border  of  an  hand  breadth  round 
about,  and  thou  shalt  make  a golden 
crown  to  the  border  thereof  round 
about. 

26  And  thou  shalt  make  for  it  four 
rings  of  gold,  and  put  the  rings  in 
the  four  corners  that  are  on  the 
four  feet  thereof. 

27  Over  against  the  border  shall 
the  rings  be  for  places  of  the  staves 
to  bear  the  table.

the  altar  for  a burnt  offering,  for 
a sweet  savour  before  the  Lord  :

is  heaved  up,  of  the  ram  of  the 
consecration,  even  of  that  which  is 
for  Aar-On,  and  of  that  which  is  for 
his  sons : 

28  And  it  shall  be  Aar-On’s  and  his 
sons’  ”‘by  a statute  for  ever  from  the

heave  offering  : and  ”it  shall  be  an 
heave  offering  from  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el  of  the  sacrifice  of  their 
peace  offerings,  even  their  heave 
offering  unto  the  Lord. 

29  H And  the  holy  garments  of 
Aar-On  ^ shall  be  his  sons’  after  him, 
®to  be  anointed  therein,  and  to  be 
consecrated  in  them. 

30  And  *that^  son  that  is  priest 
in  his  stead  shall  put  them  on 
^ seven  days,  when  he  cometh 
into  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation to  minister  in  the  holy 
place. 

31  U And  thou  shalt  take  the  ram 
of  the  consecration,  and  ^seethe  his 
flesh  in  the  holy  place.  ^ 

32  And  Aar-On  and  his  sons  shall 
eat  the  flesh  of  the  ram,  and  the 
“bread  that  is  in  the  basket,  by  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation. 

33  And  ‘^they  shall  eat  those 
things  wherewith  the  atonement 
was  made,  to  consecrate  and  to 
sanctify  them : ^ but  a stranger 
shall  not  eat  thereof.,  because  they 
are  holy. 

34  And  if  ought  of  the  flesh  of 
the  consecrations,  or  of  the  bread, 
remain  unto  the  morning,  then 
‘'thou  shalt  burn  the  remainder 
with  fire:  it  shall  not  be  eaten,

35  And  thus  shalt  thou  do  unto 
Aar-On,  and  to  his  sons,  according 
to  all  things  which  I have  com- 
manded thee : seven  days  shalt 
thou  consecrate  them.

2 “See,  I have  called  by  name  BS- 
zal-e-el  the  *son  of  UAi,  the  son  of 
Hur,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju-dah  : 

3 And  I have  ^filled  him  with  the

in  all  manner  of  workmanship,

5 And  in  cutting  of  stones,  to  set 
them,  and  in  carving  of  timber,  to 
work  in  all  manner  of  workman-

sign  between  me  and  you  through- 
out your  generations  ; that  ye  may 
know  that  I am  the  Lord  that  doth 
sanctify  you. 

14  “Ye  shall  keep  the  sabbath 
therefore  ; for  it  is  holy  unto  you  : 
every  one  that  defileth  it  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death  : for  ^ who- 
soever doeth  any  work  therein,  that 
soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  among 
his  people. 

15  “Six  days  may  work  be  done ; 
but  in  the  ‘seventh  is  the  sabbath 
of  rest,  ^ holy  to  the  Lord  : whoso- 
ever doeth  any  work  in  the  sab- 
bath day,  he  shall  surely  be  put 
to  death. 

16  Wherefore  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el  shall  keep  the  sabbath,  to  ob- 
serve the  sabbath  throughout  their 
generations,  for  a perpetual  cove- 
nant. 

17  It  is  ^'a  sign  between  me  and 
the  children  of  IsYa-el  for  ever : for 

six  days  the  Lord  made  heaven 
and  earth,  and  on  the  seventh  day 
he  rested,  and  was  refreshed. 

18  H And  he  gave  unto  Mo-ses, 
when  he  had  made  an  end  of  com- 
muning with  him  upon  mount  Si- 
nai, ‘’two  tables  of  testimony,  tables 
of  stone,  written  with  the  finger  of

AND  when  the  people  saw  that 
Mo-ses  ‘‘delayed  to  come  down 
out  of  the  mount,  the  people  ga' 
thered  themselves  together  unto 
Aar-5n,  and  said  unto  him,  -^Up,

man  that  brought  us  up  out  of  the

become  of  him. 

2 And  Aar-On  said  unto  them.

which  are  in  the  ears  of  your 
wives,  of  your  sons,  and  of  your 
daughters,  and  bring  them  unto 
me. 

3 And  all  the  people  brake  off 
the  golden  earrings  which  were  in 
their  ears,  and  brought  them  unto 
Aar-5n. 

4 ®And  he  received  them  at  their 
hand,  and  fashioned  it  with  a grav- 
ing tool,  after  he  had  made  it  a 
molten  calf : and  they  said,  These 
he  thy  gods,  O Is-ra-el,  which 
brought  thee  up  out  of  the  land 
of  E-gypt. 

5 And  when  Aar-hn  saw  %t,  he 
built  an  altar  before  it ; and  Aar-on 
made  ® proclamation,  and  said.  To 
morrow  is  a feast  to  the  Lord. 

6 And  they  rose  up  early  on  the 
morrow,  and  offered  burnt  offer- 
ings, and  brought  peace  offerings  ; 
and  the  {people  sat  down  to  eat 
and  to  drink,  and  rose  up  to  play. 

7 ^ And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
§e§,  ^ Go,  get  thee  down ; for  thy 
people,  which  thou  broughtest  out 
of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  '"have  cor- 
rupted themselves : 

8 They  have  turned  aside  quickly 
out  of  the  way  which  commanded 
them  : they  have  made  them  a mol- 
ten calf,  and  have  worshipped  it, 
and  have  sacrificed  thereunto,  and 
said,  "'These  he  thy  gods,  O Is-ra-el, 
which  have  brought  thee  up  out  of 
the  land  of  E-gypt. 

9 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-ses, 
"I  have  seen  this  people,  and,  be- 
hold, it  is  a stiffnecked  people : 

10  Now  therefore  ^let  me  alone, 
that  ^ my  wrath  may  wax  hot 
against  them,  and  that  I may 
consume  them : and  "I  will  make 
of  thee  a great  natioh. 

1 1 *And  Mo^es  besought  ^ the  Lord 
his  God,  and  said.  Lord,  why  doth 
thy  wrath  wax  hot  against  thy 
people,  which  thou  hast  brought 
rortn  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt 
with  great  power,  and  with  a 
mighty  hand? 

12  * Wherefore  should  the  E-gyp- 
Uan§  speak,  and  say,  For  mischief 
did  he  bring  them  out,  to  slay  them 
in  the  mountains,  and  to  consume 
them  from  the  face  of  the  earth? 
Turn  from  thy  fierce  wrath,  and 
^repent  of  this  evil  against  thy

for  ever. 

14  And  the  Lord  “repented  of  the 
evil  which  he  thought  to  do  unto 
his  people. 

15  H And  ^Mo-ses  turned,  and 
went  down  from  the  mounL  and 
the  two  tables  of  the  testimony 
ivere  in  his  hand:  the  tables  were 
written  on  both  their  sides ; on 
the  one  side  amd  on  the  other 
were  they  written. 

16  And  the  ‘^tables  were  the  work 
of  God,  and  the  writing  was  the 
writing  of  God,  graven  upon  the 
tables. 

17  And  when  J6sh-u-a  heard  the 
noise  of  the  people  as  they  shouted, 
he  said  unto  Mo-ses,  There  is  a noise 
of  war  in  the  camp. 

18  And  he  said.  It  is  not  the  voice 
of  them  that  shout  for  mastery,  nei- 
ther is  it  the  voice  of  them  that  cry 
for  ^ being  overcome : hut  the  noise 
of  them  that  sing  do  I hear. 

19  H And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  he  came  nigh  unto  the  camp, 
that  * he  saw  the  calf,  and  the 
dancing : and  Mokses’  anger  waxed 
hot,  and  he  cast  the  tables  out  of 
his  hands,  and  brake  them  beneath 
the  mount. 

20  'And  he  took  the  calf  which 
they  had  made,  and  burnt  it  in  the 
fire,  and  ground  it  to  powder,  and 
strawed  it  upon  the  water,  and 
made  the  .children  of  Is-ra-el  drink 
of  it. 

21  And  Mo-ses  said  unto  Aar-Cn, 
“What  did  this  people  unto  thee, 
that  thou  hast  brought  so  great  a 
sin  upon  them? 

22  And  Aar-hn  said.  Let  not  the 
anger  of  my  lord  wax  hot : * thou 
kno west  the  people,  that  they  are 
set  on  mischief. 

23  For  they  said  unto  me,  “Make 
us  gods,  which  shall  go  before  us : 
for  as  for  this  Mo-ses,  the  man  that 
brought  us  up  out  of  the  land  of 
E-gypt,  we  wot  not  what  is  become 
of  him. 

24  And  I said  unto  them.  Whoso- 
ever hath  any  gold,  let  them  break 
it  off.  So  they  gave  it  me : then 
I cast  it  into  the  fire,  and  there 
^'came  out  this  calf. 

25  U And  when  Mo-ses  saw  that 
the  people  were  “naked ; (for  Aar- 
5n  {'nad  made  them  naked  unto 
their  shame  among  ^their  enemies:) 

26  Then  Mo-ses  stood  iii  the  gate 
of  the  camp,  and  saidj  Who  is  on 
the  Lord’s  side?  let  him  come  un- 
to me.  And  all  the  sons  of  Le-vi 
gathered  themselves  together  unto 
him. 


87 


The  idolaters  are  slain. 


EXODUS,  38. 


God  talketh  with  Moses. 


27  And  he  said  unto  them,  Thus 

saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  Put 
every  man  his  sword  by  his  side, 
and  go  in  and  out  from  gate  to 
gate  throughout  the  camp,  and 
‘^slay  every  man  his  brother,  and 
every  man  his  companion,  and 
every  man  his  neighbour. 

28  And  the  children  of  Le-vi  did 
according  to  the  word  of  Mo-ses : 
and  there  fell  of  the  people  that 
day  about  three  thousand  men. 

29  -^For^  Mo-se§  had  said,  ^Conse- 
crate yourselves  to  day  to  the  Lord, 
even  every  man  upon  his  son,  and 
upon  his  brother  ; that  he  may  be- 
stow upon  you  a blessing  this  day. 

30  H And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  Mo-ses  said  unto  the 
people,  *Ye  have  sinned  a great 
sin ; and  now  1 will  go  up  unto 
the  Lord  ; * peradventure  I shall 
^make  an  atonement  for  your  sin. 

31  And  Mo-ses  ^returned  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said.  Oh,  this  people  have 
sinned  a great  sin,  and  have  ’'made 
them  gods  of  gold. 

32  Yet  now,  if  thou  wilt  forgive 
their  sin—;  and  if  not,  ^blot  me,  I 
pray  thee,  '^out  of  thy  book  which 
thou  hast  written. 

33  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-ses, 
’’Whosoever  hath  sinned  against  me, 
him  will  I blot  out  of  my  book. 

34  Therefore  now  go,  lead  the  peo- 
ple unto  the  place  of  vLich  I have 
spoken  unto  thee:  * behold,  mine 
Angel  shall  go  before  theej  never- 
theless "=in  the  day  when  I visit  I 
will  visit  their  sin  upon  them. 

35  And  the  Lord  plagued  the 
people,  because  Hhey^  made  the 
calf,  which  Aar-5n  made.

8 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Mo-ses 
went  out  unto  the  tabernacle,  that 
all  the  people  rose  up,  and  stood 
every  man  ^at  his  tent  door,  and 
looked  after  Mo-ses,  until  he  was 
gone  into  the  tabernacle. 

9 And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Mo-s6s 
entered  into  the  tabernacle,  the 
cloudy  pillar  descended,  and  stood 
at  tbe  door  of  the  tabernacle,  and 
the  Lord  "talked  with  Mo-ses. 

10  And  all  the  people  saw  the 
cloudy  pillar  stand  at  the  taber- 
nacle door : and  all  the  people  rose 
up  and  “worshipped,  every  man  in 
bis  tent  door. 

11  And  ^the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-  ses  face  to  face,  as  a man  speak- 
eth  unto  his  friend.  And  he  turned 
again  into  the  camp : but  "his  serv- 
ant Jdsh-u-a,  the  son  of  Nun,  a 
young  man,  departed  not  out  of 
the  tabernacle. 

12  U And  Mo-ses  said  unto  the 
Lord,  See,  '’thou  sayest  unto  me. 
Bring  up  this  people : and  thou 
hast  not  let  me  know  whom  thou 
wilt  send  with  me.  Yet  thou  hast 
said,  ‘'I  know  thee  by  name,  and 
thou  hast  also  found  grace  in  my 
sight. 

13  Now  therefore,  I pray  thee, 

I have  found  grace  in  thy  sight, 
''sbew  me  now  thy  way,  that  I may 
know  thee,  that  I may  find  grace 
in  thy  sight:  and  consider  that  this

14  And  he  said,  'My  presence 
shall  go  with  thee.,  and  I will  give

‘^shall  we  be  separated,  I and  thy 
people,  from  all  the  people  that 
are  upon  the  face  of  the  earth. 

17  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-ses, 
will  do  this  thing  also  that  thou 

hast  spoken:  for  Hhou  hast  found 
grace  in  my  sight,  and  I know  thee 
by  name.  , -r  , , 

18  And  he  said,  I beseech  thee, 
shew  me  ^thy  glory. 

19  And  he  said,  ”^1  will  make  all 
my  goodness  pass  before  thee,  and 
I will  proclaim  the  name  of  the 
Lord  before  thee;  ”and  will  be 

gracious  to  whom  I will  be  gra- 
cious, and  will  shew  mercy  on 
whom  I will  shew  mercy. 

20  And  he  said.  Thou  canst  not 
see  my  face:  for  * there  shall  no 
man  see  me,  and  live. 

21  And  the  Lord  said.  Behold, 
there  is  a place  by  me,  and  thou 
shalt  stand  upon  a rock: 

22  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  while 
my  glory  jiasseth  by,  that  I will 
put  thee  ^in  a clift  of  the  rock, 
and  will  ^ cover  thee  with  my  hand 
while  I pass  by: 

23  And  1 will  take  away  mine 
hand,  and  thou  shalt  see  my  back 
parts : but  my  face  shall  not  be 
seen.

rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and 
went  up  unto  mount  Si-nai,  as  the 
Lord  had  commanded  him,  and 
took  in  his  hand  the  two  tables  of

made  them  willing  to  bring  for  all 
manner  of  work,  which  the  Lord 
had  commanded  to  be  made  by  the 
hand  of  Mo-ses. 

30  H And  Mouses  said  unto  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el,  See,  ®the  Lord 
hath  called  by  name  Be-zaTe-6l  the 
son  of  U-ri,  the  son  of  Hur,  of  the 
tribe  of  Ju-dah ; 

31  And  he  hath  filled  him  with  the 
spirit  of  God,  in  wisdom,  in  under- 
standing, and  in  knowledge,  and  in 
all  manner  of  workmanship  ; 

32  And  to  devise  curious  works, 
to  work  in  gold,  and  in  silver,  and 
in  brass, 

33  And  in  the  cutting  of  stones,  to 
set  them,  and  in  carving  of  wood,  to 
make  any  manner  of  cunning  work. 

34  And  he  hath  put  in  his  heart 
that  he  may  teach,  both  he,  and 
^A-hodi-ab,  the  son  of  A-his-a-mach, 
of  the  tribe  of  Dan. 

35  Them  hath  he  * filled  with  wis- 
dom of  heart,  to  work  all  manner  of 
work,  of  the  engraver,  and  of  the 
cunning  v/orkman,  and  of  the  em- 
broiderer, in  blue,  and  in  purple, 
in  scarlet,  and  in  fine  linen,  and  of 
the  weaver,  even  of  them  that  _do 
any  work,  and  of  those  that  devise 
cunning  work. 

CHAPTER  36. 

1 The  offerings  are  delivered  to  the  workmen.  5 The  liber- 
ality of  the  people  is  restrained.  8 The  curtains.  19  The 

covering.  35  Jhe  vail.  37  The  hanging  for  the  door. 

Then  wrought  Be-zal-Ael  and 
A-hoHi-ab,  and  every  ^wise 
hearted  man,  in  whom  the  Lord 
put  wisdom  and  understanding  to 
know  how  to  work  all  manner  of 
work  for  the  service  of  the  sanctu- 
ary, according  to  all  that  the  Lord 
had  commanded. 

2 And  Mo-ses  called  Be-zal-Ael  and 
A-ho-li-ab,  and  every  wise  hearted 
man,  in  whose  heart  the  Lord  had 
put  wisdom,  even  every  one  ® whose 
heart  stirred  him  up  to  come  unto 
the  work  to  do  it : 

3 And  they  received  of  Mo-ses  all 
the  offering,  which  the  children  of 
Is-ra-6l  «had  brought  for  the  work 
of  the  service  of  the  sanctuary,  to 
make  it  withal.  And  they  brought 
yet  unto  him  free  offerings  every 
morning. 

4 And  all  the  wise  men,  that 
wrought  all  the  work  of  the  sanc- 
tuary, came  every  man  from  his 
work  which  they  made ; 

5 H And  they  spake  unto  Mo-s6r, 
saying,  ‘The  people  bring  much 
more  than  enough  for  the  service 
of  the  work,  which  the  Lord  com- 
manded to  make. 

6 And  Mo-?6s  gave  commandment,

and  they  caused  it  to  be  proclaimed 
throughout  the  camp,  saying,  Let 
neither  man  nor  woman  make  any 
more  work  for  the  offering  of  the 
sanctuary.  So  the  people  were  re- 
strained from  bringing. 

7 For  the  stuff  they  had  was  suffi- 
cient for  all  the  work  to  make  it, 
and  too  much. 

8 ^ “And  every  wise  hearted  man 
among  them  that  wrought  the  work 
of  the  tabernacle  made  ten  curtains 
of  fine  twined  linen,  and  blue,  and 
purple,  and  scarlet : with  cher-h- 
bims  of  cunning  work  made  .he 
them. 

9 The  length  of  one  curtain  was 
twenty  and  eight  cubits,  and  the 
breadth  of  one  curtain  four  cubits  : 
the  curtains  were  all  of  one  size. 

10  And  he  coupled  the  five  cur- 
tains one  unto  another:  and  the 
other  five  curtains  he  con  pled  one 
unto  another. 

11  And  he  made  loops  of  blue  on 
the  edge  of  one  curtain  from  the 
selvedge  in  the  coupling:  likewise 
he  made  in  the  uttermost  side  of 
another  curtain,  in  the  coupling  of 
the  second. 

12  Fifty  loops  made  he  in  one 
curtain,  and  nfty  loops  made  he 
in  the  edge  of  the  curtain  which 
was  in  the  coupling  of  the  second : 
the  loops  heldf  one  curtain  to  an- 
other. 

13  And  he  made  fifty  taches  of 
gold,  and  coupled  the  curtains  one 
unto  another  with  the  taches  : so  it 
became  one  tabernacle. 

14-  U ‘^And  he  made  curtains  of 
goats’  hair  for  the  tent  over  the 
tabernacle : eleven  curtains  he  made 
them. 

15  The  length  of  one  curtain  was 
thirty  cubits,  and  four  cubits  was 
'ihe  breadth  ^ of  one  curtain  : the 
deven  curtains  were  of  one  size. 

16  And  he  coupled  five  curtains 
by  themselves,  and  six  curtains  by 
themselves. 

1 7 And  he  made  fifty  loops  upon 
the  uttermost  edge  of  the  curtain  in 
the  coupling,  and  fifty  loops  made 
he  upon  the  edge  of  the  curtain 
which  coupleth  the  second. 

18  And  he  made  fifty  taches  of 
brass  ^ to  couple  the  tent  together, 
that  it  might  be  one. 

19  -^And  he  made  a covering  for 
the  tent  of  rams’  skins  dyed  red, 
and  a covering  of  badgers’  skins 
above  that. 

20  II  ^ And  he  made  boards  for  the 
tabernacle  of  shit^tim  wood,  stand- 
ing up.

one  cubit  and  a half. 

22  One  board  had  two  tenons, 
equally  distant  one  from  another ; 
thus  did  he  make  for  all  the  boards 
of  the  tabernacle. 

23  And  he  made  boards  for  the 
tabernacle ; twenty  boards  for  the 
south  side  southward: 

24  And  forty  sockets  of  silver 
he  made  under  the  twenty  boards ; 
two  sockets  under  one  board  for 
his  two  tenons,  and  two  sockets 
under  another  board  for  his  two 
tenons. 

25  And  for  the  other  side  of  the 
tabernacle,  which  is  toward  the 
north  corner,  he  made  twenty 
boards, 

26  And  their  forty  sockets  of  sil- 
ver ; two  sockets  under  one  board, 
and  two  sockets  under  another 
board. 

27  And  for  the  sides  of  the  taber- 
nacle westward  he  made  six  boards. 

28  And  two  boards  made  he  for 
the  corners  of  the  tabernacle  in  the 
two  sides. 

29  And  they  were  ^coupled  be- 
neath, and  coupled  together  at  the 
head  thereof,  to  one  ring : thus  he 
did  to  both  of  them  in  both  the 
corners. 

30  And  there  were  eight  boards; 
and  their  sockets  were  sixteen  sock- 
ets of  silver,  ^ under  every  board 
two  sockets. 

31  H And  he  made  bars  of  shit- Win 
wood ; five  for  the  boards  of  the 
one  side  of  the  tabernacle, 

32  And  five  bars  for  the  boards 
of  the  other  side  of  the  tabernacle, 
and  five  bars  for  the  boards  of  the 
tabernacle  for  the  sides  westward. 

33  And  he  made  the  middle  bar 
to  shoot  through  the  boards  from 
tbe  one  end  to  the  pther. 

34  And  he  overlaid  the  boards 
with  gold,  and  made  their  rings  of 
gold  to  he  places  for  the  bars,  and 
overlaid  the  bars  with  gold. 

35  U And  he  made  ®a  vail  of  blue, 
and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and  fine 
twined  linen : with  cher-Q-bim§ 
made  be  it  of  cunning  work. 

36  And  he  made  thereunto  four 
pillars  of  shit-Wm  wood,  and  over- 
laid them  witb  gold : their  hooks 
were  of  gold ; and  he  cast  for  them 
four  sockets  of  silver.

the  tabernacle  door  of  blue,  and 
purple,,  and  scarlet,  and  fine  twined

nacle, ana  of  the  court  round  about, 
were  of  brass. 

21  ^ This  is  the  sum  of  the  tab; 
ernacle,  even  of  ‘’the  tabernacle  of 
testimony,  as  it  was  counted,  ac- 
cording to  the  commandment  of 
Mo-sgs,  for  the  service  of  the  Le- 
vites, '‘*by  the  hand  of  Ith-a-mar, 
son  to  Aar-5n  the  priest. 

22  And  •^Be-zal-e-el  the  son  of 
U-rl,  the  son  of  Hur,  of  the  tribe 
of  Ju-dah,  made  all  that  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo-§es.  ^ 

23  And  with  him  was  A-ho-li-ab, 

son  of  A-his-a-mach,  of  the  tribe 
of  Dan,  an  engraver,  and  a cunning 
workman,  and  an  embroiderer  in 
blue,  and  in  purple,  and  in  scarlet, 
and  fine  linen.  . 

24  AH  the  gdd  that  was  occupied 
for  the  work  in  all  the  work  of  the 
holy  place,  even  the  gold  of  the 
offering,  was  twenty  and  nine  tal- 
ents, and  seven  hundred  and  thirty 
shek-els,  after  '"the  shek-gl  of  the 
sanctuary. 

25  And  the  silver  of  them  that 
were  numbered  of  the  congregation 
was  an  hundred  talents,  and  a thou- 
sand seven  hundred  and  threescore 
and  fifteen  shgk-els,  after  the  shek-gl 
of  the  sanctuary: 

26  "A  be-kah  for  ^every  man,  that 

is,  half  a shek-el,  after  the  shSk-gl 
of  the  sanctuary,  for  every  one 
that  went  to  be  numbered,  from 
twenty  years  old  and  upward,  for 
^’six  hundred  thousand  and  three 
thousand  and  five  hundred  and 
fifty  men.  , 

27  And  of  the  hundred  talents  of 
silver  were  cast  ^the  sockets  of  the

was  seventy  talents,  and  two  thou-

for  it,  and  all  the  vessels  of  the

1 The  cloths  of  service  and  holy  garments.  2 The  ephod. 

8 The  breastplate.  27  The  coats,  mitre,  &c.  All  is 

viewed  and  approved  by  Moses. 

AND  of  “the  blue,  and  purple,  and 
XX  scarlet,  they  made  * cloths  of 
service,  to  do  service  in  the  holy 
place,  and  made  the  holy  garments 
tor  Aar-5n;  ‘’as  the  Loed  com- 
manded Mo-s6s. 

2 ‘'And  he  made  the  eph-Od  of 
gold,  blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet, 
and  fine  twined  linen. 

3 And  they  did  beat  the  gold  into 
thin  plates,  and  cut  it  into  wires, 
to  work  it  in  the  blue,  and  in  the 
purple,  and  in  the  scarlet,  and  in 
the  fine  linen,  with  cunning  work. 

4 They  made  shoulderpieces  for 
it,  to  couple  it  together : by  the  two 
edges  was  it  coui)led  together. 

5 And  the  curious  girdle  of  his 
eph-(3d,  that  was  upon  it,  was  of 
the  same,  according  to  the  work 
thereof ; of  gold,  blue,  and  purple, 
and  scarlet,  and  fine  twinea  linen ; 
as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo-ses. 

^ 6 ^ ®And  they  wrought  onyx  stones 
inclosed  in  ouches  of  gold,  graven,  as 
signets  are  graven,  with  the  names 
of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el. 

7 And  he  put  them  on  the  shoul- 
ders of  the  6ph-6d,  that  they  should 

stones  for  a s' memorial  to  the 
children  of  Is-ra-6l;  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo-ses. 

8 51  '‘And  he  made  the  breastplate 
of  cunning  work,  like  the  work  of 
the  eph-5d ; of  gold,  blue,  and  pur- 
ple, and  scarlet,  and  fine  twined 
linen. 

9 It  was  foursquare ; they  made 
the  breastplate  double : a span  vjas 
the  length  thereof,  and  a span  the 
breadth  thereof,  being  doubled. 

10  * And  they  set  in  it  four  rows  of

stones:  the  first  row  was  a ^sardius, 
a to^az,  and  a carbuncle:  this  was 
the  first  row. 

11  And  the  second  row,  an  emer- 
ald, a sapphire,  and  a diamond. 

1 2 And  the  third  row,  a figure,  an 
agate,  and  an  amethyst. 

13  And  the  fourth  row,  a beryl, 
an  onyx,  and  a jasper:  they  were 
inclosed  in  ouches  of  gold  in  their 
inclosings. 

14  And  the  stones  were  according 
to  the  names  of  the  children  of 
Ish’a-el,  twelve,  according  to  their 
names,  like  the  engravings  of  a 
signet,^  every  one  with  his  name, 
according  to  the  twelve  tribes. 

15  And  they^  made  upon  the 
breastplate  chains  at  the  ends,  of 
wreathen  work  of  pure  gold. 

16  And  they  made  two  ouches  of 
gold,  and  two  gold  rings;  and  put 
the  two  rings  in  the  two  ends  of 
the  breastplate. 

1 7 And  they  put  the  two  wreathen 
chains  of  gold  in  the  two  rings  on 
the  ends  of  the  breastplate. 

18  And  the  two  ends  of  the  tv/o 
wreathen  chains  they  fastened  in 
the  two  ouches,  and  put  them  on 
the  shoulderpieces  of  the  eph-Od, 
before  it. 

I 19  And  they  made  two  rings  of 
gold,  and  put  them  on  the  two  ends 
of  the  breastplate,  upon  the  border 
of  it,  which  was  on  the  side  of  the 
eph-6d  inward. 

20  And  they  made  two  other 
golden  rings,  and  put  them  on 
the  two  sides  of  the  eph-6d  under- 
neath, toward  the  forepart  of  it, 
over  against  the  other  coupling 
thereof,  above  the  curious  girdle 
of  the  eph-5d. 

21  And  they  did  bind  the  breast- 
plate by  his  rings  unto  the  rings  of 
the  eph-5d  with  a lace  of  blue,  that 
it  might  be  above  the  curious  girdle 
of  the  eph-Cd,  and  that  the  breast- 
plate might  not  be  loosed  from  the 
eph-Od ; as  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo-ses. 

22  5f  ■''And  he  made  the  robe  of 
the  eph-5d  of  woven  work,  all  of 
blue. 

23  And  there  was  an  hole  in  the 
midst  of  the  robe,  as  the  hole  of 
an  habergeon,  with  a band  round 
about  the  hole,  that  it  should  not 
rend. 

24  And  they  made  upon  the  hems 
of  the  robe  pomegranates  of  blue, 
and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and  twined 
linen. 

25  And  they  made  * bells  of  pure 
gold,  and  put  the  bells  between  the 
pomegranates  upon  the  hem  of  tho

pomegranates ; 

26  A bell  and  a pomegranate,  a bell 
and  a pomegranate,  round  about  the 
hem  of  the  robe  to  minister  in;  as 
the  Lord  commanded  Mo-ses. 

27  H ^And  they  made  coats  of  fine 

linen  of  woven  work  for  Aar-on, 
and  for  his  sons,  . 

28  ‘'And  a mitre  o/fine  linen,  and 
goodly  bonnets  of  fine  linen,  and 
dinen  breeches  o/fine  twined  linen, 

29  -^And  a girdle  of  fine  twined 
linen,  and  blue,  and  purple,  and 
scarlet,  of  needlework ; as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo-ses. 

30  ^ 'And  they  made  the  plate  of 
the  holy  crown  of  pure  gold,  and 
wrote  upon  it  a writing,  like  to  the 
engravings  of  a signet,  HOLINESS 
TO  THE  LORD. 

31  And  they  tied  unto  it  a lace 
of  blue,  to  fasten  it  on  high  upon 
the  mitre;  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo-ses. 

32  H Thus  was  all  the  work  of  the 

tabernacle  of  the  tent  of  the  con- 
gregation finished : and  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el  did  ^according  to  all 
that  the  Lord  commanded  Mo-ses, 
so  did  they.  , , , , 

33  ^ And  they  brought  the  taber-

42  According  to  all  that  the  Lord 

commanded  Mo-ses,  so  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el  “made  all  the  work. 

43  And  Mo-ses  did  look  upon  all 
the  work,  and,  behold,  they  had 
done  it  as  the  Lord  had  com- 
manded, even  so  had  they  done  it : 
and  Mo-ses  ‘'blessed  them. 

CHAPTER  40. 

The  tabernacle  is  commanded  to  be  reared  and  anointed. 

13  Aaron  and  his  sons  to  be  sanctified.  34  A cloud 
covereth  the  tabernacle. 

ND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-s6§, 
saying, 

_ On  the  first  day  of  the  ^ first 
month  shalt  thou  set  up  '‘the  taber- 
nacle of  the  tent  of  the  congrega- 
tion. 

3 And  ^'thou  shalt  put  therein  the 
ark  of  the  testimony,  and  cover  the 
ark  with  the  vail. 

4 And  'thou  shalt  bring  in  the 
table,  and  "“set  in  order  ' the  things 
that  are  to  be  set  in  order  upon  it ; 
”and  thou  shalt  bring  in  the  candle- 
stick, and  light  the  lamps  thereof. 

5 ° And  thou  shalt  set  the  altar 
of  gold  for  the  incense  before  the 
ark  of  the  testimony,  and  put  the 
hanging  of  the  door  to  the  taber- 
nacle. 

6 And  thou  shalt  set  the  altar  ot 
the  burnt  offering  before  the  door 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  tent  of  the 
congregation. 

7 And  «thou  shalt  set  the  laver 
between  the  tent  of  the  congrega- 
tion and  the  altar,  and  shalt  put 
water  therein. 

8 And  thou  shalt  set  up  the  court 
round  about,  and  hang  up  the  hang- 
ing at  the  court  gate. 

9 And  thou  shalt  take  the  anoint- 
ing oil,  and  anoint  the  tabernacle, 
and  all  that  is  therein,  and  shalt 
hallow  it,  and  all  the  vessels  there- 
of : and  it  shall  be  holy.  , 

10  And  thou  shalt  anoint  the  al- 
tar of  the  burnt  offering,  and  all 
his  vessels,  and  sanctify  the  altar : 
and  «it  shall  be  an  altar  ^most  holy. 

1 1 And  thou  shalt  anoint  the  laver 
and  his  foot,  and  sanctify  it. 

12  'And  thou  shalt  bring  Aar-6n 

and  his  sons  unto  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  and 
wash  them  with  water.  ^ ^ 

13  And  thou  shalt  put  upon  Aar- 

On  the  holy  garments,  “and  anoint 
him,  and  sanctify  him;  that  he 
may  minister  unto  me  in  the 
priest’s  office.  . 

14  And  thou  shalt  bring  his  sons, 
and  clothe  them  with  coats : 

15  And  thou  shalt  anoint  them, 
as  thou  didst  anoint  their  father, 
that  they  may  minister  unto  me  in

the  priest’s  office : for  their  anoint- 
ing shall  surely  be  “an  everlasting 
priesthood  throughout  their  genera- 
tions. . 

16  Thus  did  Mo-s6s : according  to 
all  that  the  Lord  commanded  him, 
so  did  he. 

17  H And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
first  month  in  the  second  year,  on 
the  first  day  of  the  month,  that  the 
* tabernacle  was  reared  up. 

18  And  Mo-ses  reared  up  the  tab- 
ernacle, and  fastened  his  sockets, 
and  set  up  the  boards  thereof,  and 
put  in  the  bars  thereof,  and  reared 
up  his  pillars. 

1 9 And  he  spread  abroad  the  tent 
over  the  tabernacle,  and  put  the 
covering  of  the  tent  above  upon  it ; 
as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo-s6s. 

20  H And  he  took  and  put  ^ the 
testimony  into  the  ark,  and  set 
the  staves  on  the  ark,  and  put  the 
mercy  seat  above  upon  the  ark  : 

21  And  he  brought  the  ark  into 
the  tabernacle,  and  ^set  up  the  vail 
of  the  covering,  and  covered  the 
ark  of  the  testimony ; as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo-ses. 

22  ^ ""And  he  put  the  table  in  the 
tent  of  the  congregation,  upon  the 
side  of  the  tabernacle  northward, 
without  the  vail. 

23  “And  he  set  the  bread  in  order 
upon  it  before  the  Lord*  as  the 
Lord  had  commanded  Mo-ses. 

24  ^ ^^And  he  put  the  candlestick 
in  the  tent  of  the  congregation,  over 
against  the  table,  on  the  side  of  the 
tabernacle  southward. 

25  And  * he  lighted  the  lamps  be- 
fore the  Lord  ; as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo-s^s. 

26  H “And  he  put  the  golden  altar 
in  the  tent  of  the  congregation  be- 
fore the  vail : 

27  *And  he  burnt  sweet  incense 


thereon;  as  the  Lord  commanded 

Mo-ses. 

28  U *And  he  set  up  the  hanging 
at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle. 

29  “And  he  put  the  altar  of  burnt 
offering  by  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  tent  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  offered  upon  it  the  burnt 
offering  and  the  meat  offering;  as 
the  Lord  commanded  Mo-ses. 

30  H -^And  he  set  the  laver  be- 
tween the  tent  of  the  congregation 
and  the  alter,  and  put  water  there, 
to  wash  withal. 

31  And  Mo-ses  and  Am’-6n  and  his 
sons  washed  their  hands  and  their 
feet  thereat : 

32  When  they  went  into  the  tent 
of  the  congregation,  and  when  they 
came  near  unto  the  altar,  they 
washed ; '"as  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo-s6s. 

33  "And  he  reared  up  the  court 
round  about  the  tabernacle  and 
the  altar,  and  set  up  the  hanging 
of  the  court  gate.  So  Mo-ses  fim 
ished  the  work. 

34  H 'Then  a cloud  covered  the  tent 
of  the  congregation,  and  the  glory 
of  the  Lord  filled  the  tabernacle. 

35  And  Mo-s6s  "was  not  able  to 
enter  into  the  tent  of  the  congrega- 
tion, because  the  cloud  abode  there- 
on, and  the  glory  of  the  Lord  filled 
the  tabernacle. 

36  ^ And  when  the  cloud  was  taken 
up  from  over  the  tabernacle,  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el  'went  onward 
in  all  their  journeys : 

37  But  ""if  the  cloud  were  not 
taken  up,  then  they  journeyed  not 
till  the  day  that  it  was  taken  up. 

38  For  'the  cloud  of  the  Lord  was 
upon  the  tabernacle  by  day,  and  fire 
was  on  it  by  night,  in  the  sight  of 
all  the  house  of  Is-ra-el,  throughout 

1 all  their  journeys.

frankincense  thereon : 

2 And  he  shall  bring  it  to  Aar-6n’s 
sons  the  priests : and  he  shall  take 
thereout  his  handful  of  the  flour 
thereof,  and  of  the  oil  thereof,  with 
all  the  frankincense  thereof;  and 
the  priest  shall  burn  ^the  memorial 
of  it  upon  the  altar,  to  be  an  offer- 
ing made  by  fire,  of  a sweet  savour 
unto  the  Lord  : 

3 And  Hhe  remnant  of  the  meat

5 ^ And  if  thy  oblation  be  a meat 
offering  baken  ^in  a pan,  it  shall  be

the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by 

II  No  meat  offering,  which  ye 
shall  bring  unto  the  Lord,  shall 
be  made  with  ^leaven : for  ye  shall 
burn  no  leaven,  nor  any  honey,  in 
any  offering  of  the  Lord  made  by 

12  II  *As  for  the  oblation  of  the 
firstfruits,  ye  shall  offer  them  unto

ing of  thy  firstfruits  green  ears  of 
corn  dried  by  the  fire,  even  corn 
beaten  out  of  ‘^full  ears. 

15  And  nhou  shalt  put  oil  upon 
it,  and  lay  frankincense  thereon: 
it  is  a meat  offering. 

16  And  the  priest  shall  burn  ^-the 
memorial  of  it,  part  of  the  beaten 
corn  thereof,  and  part  of  the  oil 
thereof,  with  all  the  frankincense 
thereof : it  is  an  offering  made  by 
fire  unto  the  Lord.

offering,  18  and  burnt  offering.  22  The  ram  of  c07isecra-

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-ses, 
XX  saying, 

2 "*Take  Aar-6n  and  his  sons  with 
him,  and  *the  garments,  and  Hhe 
anointing  oil,  and  a bullock  for  the 
sin  offering,  and  two  rams,  and  a 
basket  of  unleavened  bread ; 

3 And  gather  thou  all  the  congre- 
gation together  unto  the  door  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

4 And  Mo-ses  did  as  the  Lord 
commanded  him  ; and  the  assem- 
bly was  gathered  together  unto  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation. 

5 And  Mo-s6s  said  unto  the  C9n- 
gregation,  "This  is  the  thing  which 
the  Lord  commanded  to  be  done. 

6 And  Mo-s6s  brought  Aar-on  and 
his  sons,  ‘*and  washed  them  with 
water.

him : also  he  "put  in  the  breastplate 
the  tJ-rim  anef  the  Thum-mim.

upon  his  forefront,  did  he  put  the 
golden  plate,  the  holy  crown;  as 
the  Lord  "commanded  Mo-ses. 

10  ^And  Mo-ses  took  the  anointing 
oil,  and  anointed  the  tabernacle  and 
all  that  was  therein,  and  sanctified 
them. 

1 1 And  he  sprinkled  thereof  upon 
the  altar  seven  times,  and  anointed 
the  altar  and  all  his  vessels,  both  the 
laver  and  his  foot,  to  sanctify  them. 

^ 12  And  he  ‘^poured  of  the  anoint- 
ing oil  upon  Aar-5n’s  head,  and 
anointed  him,  to  sanctify  him. 

13  -^And  Mo-ses  brought  Aar-bn’s 
sons,  and  put  coats  upon  them,  and 
girded  them  with  girdles,  and  ^put 
bonnets  upon  them ; as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo-ses. 

14  ^And  he  brought  the  bullock 
for  the  sin  offering : and  Aar-5n 
and  his  sons  4aid  their  hands  up- 
on the  head  of  the  bullock  for  the 
sin  offering. 

15  And  he  slew  it;  *and  Mo-ses 
took  the  blood,  and  put  it  upon 
the  horns  of  the  altar  round  about 
with  his  finger,  and  purified  the 
altar,  and  poured  the  blood  at  the 
bottom  of  the  altar,  and  sanctified 
it,  to  make  reconciliation  upon  it. 

16  ”^And  he  took  all  the  fat  that 
was  upon  the  inwards,  and  the  caul 
above  the  liver,  and  the  two  kidne.ys, 
and  their  fat,  and  Mo-ses  burned  it 
upon  the  altar. 

17  But  the  bullock,  and  his  hide, 
his  flesh,  and  his  dung,  he  burnt 
with  fire  without  the  camp  ; as  the 
Lord  ^commanded  Mo-ses. 

18  U ^And  he  brought  the  ram  for 
the  burnt  offering : and  Aar-6n  and 
his  sons  laid  their  hands  upon  the 
head  of  the  ram. 

19  And  he  killed  it;  and  Mo-ses 
sprinkled  the  blood  upon  the  altar 
round  about. 

20  And  he  cut  the  ram  into  pieces ; 
and  Mo-ses  burnt  the  head,  and  the 
pieces,  and  the  fat. 

2 1 And  he  washed  the  inwards  and 
the  legs  in  water  ; and  Mo-§es  burnt 
the  whole  ram  upon  the  altar : it 
was  a burnt  sacrifice  for  a sweet 
savour,  and  an  offering  made  by 
fire  unto  the  Lord  ; *as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo-s6s. 

22  H And  “he  brought  the  other 
ram.  the  ram  of  consecration  : and 
Aar-6n  and  his  sons  laid  their  hands 
upon  the  head  of  the  ram. 

23  And  he  slew  it;  and  Mo-s6s 
took  of  the  blood  of  it,  and  put  it 
upon  the  tip  of  Aar-On’s  right  ear,

24  And  he  brought  Aar-On’s  sons, 
and  Mo-ses  put  of  the  blood  upon 
the  tip  of  their  right  ear,  and  upon 
the  thumbs  of  their  right  hands, 
and  u^on  the  great  toes  of  their 
right  feet:  and  Mo-ses  sprinkled 
the  blood  upon  the  altar  round 
about. 

25  “"And  he  took  the  fat,  and  the 
rump,  and  all  the  fat  that  was  upon 
the  inwards,  and  the  caul  above  the 
liver,  and  the  two  kidneys,  and  their 
fat,  and  the  right  shoulder : 

26  ®And  out  of  the  basket  of  un- 
leavened bread,  that  was  before  the 
Lord,  he  took  one  unleavened  cake, 
and  a cake  of  oiled  bread,  and  one 
wafer,  and  put  them  on  the  fat,  and 
upon  the  right  shoulder : 

27  And  he  put  all  ^upon  Aar-5n’s 
hands,  and  upon  his  sons’  hands, 
and  waved  them  for  a wave  offer- 
ing before  the  Lord. 

28  And  Mo-ses  took  them  from  off 
their  hands,  and  burnt  them  on  the 
altar  upon  the  burnt  offering : thej'- 
were  consecrations  for  a sweet  sa- 
vour : it  is  an  offering  made  by  fire 
unto  the  Lord. 

29  And  Mo-ses  took  the  breast, 
and  waved  it  for  a wave  offering 
before  the  Lord  : for  of  the  ram  of 
consecration  it  was  Mo-ses’ “part; 
as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo-ses. 

30  And  "Mo-ses  took  of  the  anoint- 
ing oil,  and  of  the  blood  which 
was  upon  the  altar,  and  sprinkled 
it  upon  Aar-On,  and  upon  his  gar- 
ments, and  upon  his  sons,  and  up- 
on his  sons’  garments  with  him ; 
and  sanctified  Aar-On,  and  his  gar- 
ments, and  his  sons,  and  his  sons’ 
garments  with  him. 

31  ^ And  Mo-ses  said  unto  Aar-Or 
and  to  his  sons,  ’’Boil  the  flesh  ai 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation  : and  there  eat  it 
with  the  bread  that  is  in  the  basket 
of  consecrations,  as  I commanded, 
saying,  Aar-On  and  his  sons  shall 
eat  it. 

32  *And  that  which  remaineth  of 
the  flesh  and  of  the  bread  shall  ye 
burn  with  fire. 

33  And  ye  shall  not  go  out  of  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation in  seven  days,  until  the 
days  of  your  consecration  be  at  an 
end : for  * seven  days  shall  he  con- 
secrate you. 

34  ^As  he  hath  done  this  day,  so 
tbe  Lord  hath  commanded  to  do, 
to  make  an  atonement  for  you. 

35  Therefore  shall  ye  abide  at 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation  day  and  night  seven 
days,  and  "keep  the  charge  of  the

thee  a young  calf  for  a sin  offer- 
ing, ^and  a ram  for  a burnt  offer- 
ing, without  blemish,  and  offer 
them  before  the  Lord.  - , . , 

3 And  unto  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
thou  shalt  speak,  saying,  * Take  ye 
a kid  of  the  goats  for  a sin  offer- 
ing ; and  a calf  and  a lamb,  both  oi. 
the  first  year,  without  blemish,  for 
a burnt  offering ; 

4 Also  a bullock  and  a ram  tor 
peace  offerings,  to  sacrifice  oefore 
the  Lord  ; and  *a  meat  offering 
mingled  with  oil : for  "‘to  oay  the 
Lord  will  appear  unto  you. 

5 ^ And  they  brought  that  which 

Mo-ses  commanded  before  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation:  and 
all  the  congregation  drew  near  and 
stood  before  the  Lord.  , 

6 And  Mo-ses  said.  This  is  the 
thing  which  the  Lord  commanded 
that  ye  should  do : and  ^the  glory 
of  the  Lord  shall  appear  unto  you. 

7 And  Mo-ses  said  unto  Aar-6n,  Go 

unto  the  altar,  and  ’'offer  thy  sin  of- 
fering, and  thy  burnt  offering,  and 
make  an  atonement  for  thyseit,  and 
for  the  people:  and  * offer  the  offer- 
ing of  the  people,  and  make  an 
atonement  for  them ; as  the  Lord 
commanded.  ^ 

8 ^ Aar-dn  therefore  went  unto  the 
altar,  and  slew  the  calf  of  the  sin 
offering,  which  was  for  himself. 

9 '‘’And  the  sons  of  Aar-hn  brought 

the  blood  unto  him  : and  he  dipped 
his  finger  in  the  blood,  and  ®put  it 
upon  the  horns  of  the  altar,  and 
poured  out  the  blood  at  the  bottom 
of  the  altar : n , , . 

10  “But  the  fat,  and  the  kidneys, 
and  the  caul  above  the  liver  of 
the  sin  offering,  he  burnt  upon 
the  altar ; ‘^as  the  Lord  commanded

11  ®And  the  flesh  and  the  hide  he 
burnt  with  fire  without  the  camp. 

12  And  he  slew  the  burnt  offering ;

him  the  blood,  '‘which  he  sprinkled

14  “And  he  did  wash  the  inwards 
and  the  leg^  and  burnt  them  upon 
the  burnt  offering  on  the  altar. 

15  ^ ''And  he  brought  the  people’s

was  the  sin  offering  for  the  people,

and  Aar-5n’s  sons  presented  unto

CHAPTER  10. 

1 Nadah  and  Abihic  are  burnt  by  fire.  12  The  law  of 

eating  the  holy  things. 

AND  '•Na-dab  and  A-bi-hu,  the 
A sons  of  Aar^On,  ‘’took  either  of 
them  his  censer,  and  put  fire  there- 
in, and  put  incense  thereon,  and 
offered -^strange  fire  before  the  Lord, 
which  he  commanded  thein  not. 

2 And  there  ^went  out  fire  trom 
the  Lord,  and  devoured  them,  and 
they  died  before  the  Lord. 

3 Then  Mo-ses  said  unto  Aar-5n, 
This  is  it  tliat  the  Lord  spake, 


The  law  of  eating  LEVITICUS,  11.  the  holy  things. 


saying,  I will  be  sanctified  in  them 
“that  come  nigh  me,  and  before 
all  the  people  I will  be  * glorified. 
‘'And  Aar-On  held  his  peace. 

4 And  Mo-ses  called  Mish-a-el  and 
El-za-phan,  the  sons  of  ‘^tJz-zi-el  the 
uncle  of  Aar-On,  and  said  unto  them. 
Come  near,  -''carry  your  brethren 
from  before  the  sanctuary  out  of 
the  camp. 

5 So  they  went  near,  and  carried 
them  in  their  coats  out  of  the  camp ; 
as  Mo-ses  had  said. 

6 And  Mo-ses  said  unto  Aar-On,  and 
unto  E-lAa-zar  and  unto  Ith-a-mar, 
his  sons,  ^Uncover  not  your  heads, 
neither  rend  your  clothes;  lest  ye 
die,  and  lest  * wrath  come  upon  all 
the  people:  but  let  your  brethren, 
the  whole  house  of  Is-r4-el,  bewail 
the  burning  which  the  Lord  hath 
kindled. 

7 ""And  ye  shall  not  go  out  from 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  lest  ye  die:  ”for  the 
anointing  oil  of  the  Lord  is  upon 
you.  And  they  did  according  to 
the  word  of  Mo-s6s. 

8 U And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Aar-5n,  saying, 

9 ®Do  not  drink  wine  nor  strong 
drink,  thou,  nor  thy  sons  with  thee, 
when  ye  go  into  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  lest  ye  die : it 
shall  be  a statute  for  ever  through- 
out your  generations : 

10  And  that  ye  may  ’'put  differ- 
ence between  holy  and  unholy,  and 
between  unclean  and  clean  ; 

11  *And  that  ye  may  teach  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el  all  the  statutes 
which  the  Lord  hath  spoken  unto 
them  by  the  hand  of  Mo-ses. 

12  H And  Mo-ses  spake  unto 
Aar-5n,  and  unto  E-le-a-zar  and 
unto  Ith-a-mar,  his  sons  that  were 
left,  Take  “the  meat  offering  that 
remaineth  of  the  offerings  of  the 
Lord  made  by  fire,  and  eat  it  v/ith- 
out  leaven  beside  the  altar : for  "'it 
is  most  holy : 

13  And  ye  shall  eat  it  in  the  holy 
place,  because  it  is  thy  due,  and 
thy  sons’  due,  of  the  sacrifices  of 
the  Lord  made  by  fire : for  ^so  1 
am  commanded. 

14  And  *the  wave  breast  and 
heave  shoulder  shall  ye  eat  in  a 
clean  place ; thou,  and  thy  sons, 
and  thy  daughters  with  thee : for 
they  be  thy  due,  and  thy  sons’  due, 
which  are  given  out  ot  the  sacri- 
fices of  peace  offerings  of  the  chil- 
di-en  of  Ts-ra-6l.

a statute  for  ever ; as  the  Lord 
hath  commanded. 

16  H And  Mo-s6s  diligently  sought 
^the  goat  of  the  sin  offering,  and, 
behold,  it  was  burnt : and  he  was 
angry  with  E-lAa-zarand  Ith-a-mar, 
the  sons  of  Aar-5n  which  were  left 
alive,  ,saying, 

17  ^Wherefore  have  ye  not  eaten 
the  sin  offering  in  the  holy  place, 
seeing  it  is ^ most  holy,  and  God 
hath  given  it  you  to  bear  the  ini- 
quity of  the  congregation,  to  make 
atonement  for  them  before  the 
Lord  % 

18  Behold,  *the  blood  of  it  was 
not  brought  in  within  the  holy 
place : ye  should  indeed  have  eaten 
it  in  the  holy  place,  ^as  I com- 
manded. 

19  And  Aar-6n  said  unto 
Behold,  “this  day  have  they 
their  sin  offering  and  their  burnt 
offering  before  the  Lord  ; and  such 
things  have  befallen  me : and  if  I 
had  eaten  the  sin  offering  to  day, 
^should  it  have  been  accepted  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord'?

he  was  content.

them, 

2 Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el,  saying,  'These  are  the  beasts 
which  ye  shall  eat  among  all  the 
beasts  that  are  on  the  earth. 

3 Whatsoever  pai'teth  the  hoof, 
and  is  clovenfooted,  and  cheweth 
the  cud,  among  the  beasts,  that 
shall  ye  eat. 

4 Nevertheless  these  shall  ye  not 
eat  of  them  that  chew  the  cud,  or 
of  them  that  divide  the  hoof : as 
the  camel,  because  he  cheweth  the 
cud,  but  divideth  not  the  hoof ; he 
is  unclean  unto  you. 

5 And  the  coney,  because  he  chew- 
eth the  cud,  but  divideth  not  the 
hoof;  he  is  unclean  unto  you. 

6 And  the  hare,  because  he  chew- 
(‘th  the  cud,  but  divideth  not  the 
lioof ; he  is  unclean  unto  you. 

7 And  the  swine,  though  he  divide

he  clieweth  not  the  cud;  “he  is 
unclean  to  you. 

8 Of  their  flcish  shall  ye  not  eat, 
and  their  carcase  shall  ye  not 
touch  ; ‘'they  are  unclean  to  you.

fins  and  scales  in  the  waters,  in  the

ye  eat. 

10  And  all  that  have  not  fins  and 
scales  in  the  seas,  and  in  the  rivers, 
of  all  that  move  in  the  waters,  and 
of  any  living  thing  which  is  in  the 
waters,  they  shall  be  an  “abomina-

11  They  shall  be  even  an  abomi- 
nation unto  you ; ye  shall  not  eat

carcases  in  abomination. 

12  Whatsoever  hath  no  fins  nor

13  ‘'And  these  are  they  which  ye

that  on  which  such  water  cometh 
shall  be  unclean  : and  all  drink  that 
may  be  drunk  in  every  such  vessel 
shall  be  unclean. 

35  And  every  thing  whereupon 
any  part  of  their  carcase  falleth 
shall  be  unclean ; whether  it  be

ceived seed,  and  born  a man  child  : 
then  ^she  shall  be  unclean  seven 
days ; ""according  to  the  days  of  the 
separation  for  her  infirmity  shall 
she  be  unclean.

CHAPTER  13. 

Laws  and  tokens  whereby  the  priest  is  to  be  guided  in 
discerning  leprosy. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-se§ 
and  Aar-5n,  saying, 

2 When  a man  shall  have  in  the 
skin  of  his  flesh  a prising,  ^'a  scab, 
or  bright  spot,  and  it  be  in  the  skin 
of  his  flesh  like  the  plague  of  lep- 
rosy; '"then  he  shall  be  brought 
unto  Aar-5n  the  priest,  or  unto  one 
of  his  sons  the  priests : 

3 And  the  priest  shall  look  on  the 
plague  in  the  skin  of  the  flesh  : 
and  when  the  hair  in  the  plague  is 
turned  white,  and  the  plague  in 
sight  be  deeper  than  the  skin  of  his 
flesh,  it  is  a plague  of  leprosy : and 
the  priest  shall  look  on  him,  and 
pronounce  him  unclean. 

4 If  the  bright  spot  be  white  in  the 
skin  of  his  flesh,  and  in  sight  be  not 
deeper  than  the  skin,  and  the  hair 
thereof  be  not  turned  white ; then 
the  priest  shall  shut  up  him  that 
hath  the  plague  seven  days: 

5 And  the  priest  shall  look  on  him 
the  seventh  day : and,  behold,  if  the 
plague  in  his  sight  be  at  a stay,  and 
the  plague  spread  not  in  the  skin; 
then  the  priest  shall  shut  him  up 
seven  days  more: 

6 And  the  priest  shall  look  on  him 
again  the  seventh  day : and,  behold, 
if  the  plague  be  somewhat  dark, 
and  the  plague  spread  not  in  the 
skin,  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him 
clean : it  is  but  a scab : and  he 
“shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  be 
clean. 

7 But  if  the  scab  spread  much 
abroad  in  the  skin,  after  that  he 
hath  been  seen  of  the  priest  for  his 
cleansing,  he  shall  be  seen  of  the 
priest  again: 

8 And  if  the  priest  see  that,  be- 
hold, the  scab  spreadeth  in  the  skin, 
then  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him 
unclean : it  is  a leprosy.

in  a man,  then  he  shall  be  brought 
unto  the  priest ; 

10  “And  the  priest  shall  see  him: 
and,  behold,  if  the  rising  be  white 
in  the  skin,  and  it  have  turned  the 
hair  white,  and  there  be  ^ quick  raw 
flesh  in  the  rising ; 

1 1 It  is  an  old  leprosy  in  the  skin 
of  his  flesh,  _ and  the  priest  shall 
pronounce  him  unclean,  and  shall 
not  shut  him  up : for  he  is  unclean. 

12  And  if  a leprosv  break  out 
abroad  in  the  skin,  and.  the  leprosy 
cover  all  the  skin  of  him  that  hath 
the  plague  from  his  head  even  to 
his  foot,  wheresoever  the  priest 
looketh ; 

13  Then  the  priest  shall  consider: 
and,  behold,  ^/  the  leprosy  have 
covered  all  his  flesh,  he  shall  pro- 
nounce him  clean  that  hath  the 
plague : it  is  all  turned  white : he 
^s  clean. 

14  But  when  raw  flesh  appeareth 
in  him,  he  shall  be  unclean. 

15  And  the  priest  shall  see  the 
raw  flesh,  and  pronounce  hm  to  be 
unclean : for  tne  raw  flesh  is  un- 
clean: it  is  a leprosy. 

16  Or  if  the  raw  flesh  ^rn  again, 
and  be  changed  unto  white,  he  shall 
come  unto  the  priest ; 

17  And  the  priest  shall  see  him: 
and,  behold,  if  the  plague  be  turned 
into  white;  then  the  priest  shall 
pronounce  him  clean  that  hath  the 
plague : he  is  clean.

in  the  skin  thereof,  was  a ^boil,  and 
is  healed, 

19  And  in  the  place  of  the  boil 
there  be  a white  rising,  or  a bright 
spot,  white,  and  somewhat  reddish, 
and  it  be  shewed  to  the  priest,* 

20  And  if,  when  the  priest  seeth 
it,  behold,  it  be  in  sight  lower  than 
the  skin,  and  the  hair  thereof  be 
turned  white;  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him  unclean : it  is  a plague 
of  leprosy  broken  out  of  the  boil.  ^ 

21  But  if  the  priest  look  on  it, 
and,  behold,  there  be  no  white  hairs 
therein,  and  if  it  be  not  lower  than

in  the  skin,  then  the  priest  shall 
pronounce  him  unclean : it  is  a 
plague.

his  place,  amd  spread  not,  it  is  a 
burning  boil ; and  the  priest  shall 
pronounce  him  clean.

it  is  a fretting  leprosy;  it  shall  be

is  the  plague  of  leprosy,  whose  hand 
is  not  able  to  get  that  which  per- 
taineth  to  his  cleansing. 

33  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses  and  unto  Aar-6n,  saving,

Elague,  that  all  that  is  in  the  house 
e not  made  unclean : and  after- 
ward the  priest  shall  go  in  to  see 
the  house : 

37  And  he  shall  look  on  the  plague, 
and,  behold,  if  the  plague  be  in 
the  walls  of  the  house  with  hollow 
strakes,  greenish  or  reddish,  which 
in  sight  are  lower  than  the  wall ; 

38  Then  the  priest  shall  go  out  of 
the  house  to  the  door  of  the  house, 
and  shut  up  the  house  seven  days  : 
39  And  the  priest  shall  come  again 
the  seventh  day,  and  shall  look :

40  Then  the  priest  shall  command 
that  they  take  away  the  stones  in 
which  the  plague  is,  and  they  shall

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-ses 
after  ”the  death  of  the  two 
sons  of  Aar-5n,  when  they  offered 
before  the  Lord,  and  died; 

2 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-ses, 

Speak  unto  Aar-5n  thy  brother,  that 
he come  not  at  all  times  into  the 
holy  place  within  the  vail  before 
the  mercy  seat,  which  is  upon  the 
ark ; that  he  die  not : for  * I will 
appear  in  the  cloud  upon  the  mercy 
seat.  , . , 

3 Thus  shall  Aar-bn  “come  into 
the  holy  ; *with  a young  bul- 
lock for  a sin  offering,  and  a ram 
for  a burnt  offering. 

4 He  shall  put  on  *the  holy  linen 
coat,  and  he  shall  have  the  linen 
breeches  upon  his  flesh,  and  shall 
be  girded  with  a linen  girdle,  and 
with  the  linen  mitre  shall  he  be 
attired:  these  are  holy  garments; 
therefore  “shall  he  wash  his  flesh 
in  water,  and  so  put  them  on. 

5 And  he  shall  take  of  ''the  con- 

gregation of  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l 
Wo  kids  of  the  goats  for  a sin 
offering,  and  one  ram  for  a burnt 
offering.  , . t i 

6 And  Aar-5n  shall  offer  his  bul- 
lock of  the  sin  offering,  which  is 
for  himself,  and  ‘'make  an  atone- 
ment for  himself,  and  for  his  house. 

7 And  he  shall  take  the  two  goats, 
and  present  them  before  the  Lord 
at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

8 And  Aar-5n  shall  cast  lots  upon 
the  two  goats ; one  lot  for  the 
Lord,  and  the  other  lot  for  the 
^ scapegoat. 

9 And  Aar-On  shall  bring  the  goat 
upon  which  the  Lord’s  lot  ^ fell, 
and  offer  him  for  a sin  offering.

10  The  eating  of  blood  is  forbidden. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-i§e§, 
XJl  saying, 

2 Speak  unto  Aar-6n,  and  unto  his 
sons,  and  unto  all  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el,  and  say  unto  them;  This 
is  the  thing  which  the  Lord  hath 
commanded,  saying, 

3 What  man  soever  there  be  of  the 
house  of  Is-ra-el,  *that  killeth  an  ox, 
or  lamb,  or  goat,  in  the  camp,  or 
that  killeth  it  out  of  the  camp, 

4 ”^And  bringeth  it  not  unto  the 
door  of  the  t^ernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, to  offer  an  offering  unto 
the  Lord  before  the  tabernacle  of 
the  Lord  ; blood  shall  be  ‘’  imputed 
unto  that  man  ; he  hath  shed  blood  ; 
and  that  man  ''shall  be  cut  off  from 
among  his  people : 

5 To  the  end  that  the  children  of 
I§-ra-6l  may  bring  their  sacrifices, 

which  they  offer  in  the  open  field, 
even  that  they  may  bring  them  unto 
the  Lord,  unto  the  door  of  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation,  unto 
the  i^riest,  and  offer  them  for  peace 
offerings  unto  the  Lord. 

6 And  the  priest  * shall  sprinkle 
the  blood  upon  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  and  “burn  the 
fat  for  a sweet  savour  unto  the 
Lord. 

7 And  they  shall  no  more  offer 
their  sacrifices  *unto  devils,  after 
whom  they  ''have  gone  a whoring. 
This  shall  be  a statute  for  ever  unto 
them  throughout  their  generations. 

8 ^ And  thou  shalt  say  unto  them, 
Whatsoever  man  there  be  of  the 
house  of  ^ Isha-6l,  or  of  the  stran- 
gers which  sojourn  among  you, 
*that  offereth  a burnt  offering  or 
sacrifice, 

9 And  bringeth  it  not  unto  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, to  offer  it  unto  the  Lord  ;

even  that  man  shall  be  cut  off  from 
among  his  people. 

10  U *And  whatsoever  man  there 
be  of  the  house  of  Is-ra-el,  or  of 
the  strangers  that  sojourn  among 
you,  that  eateth  any  manner  of 
blood ; ® I will  even  set  my  face 
against  that  soul  that  eateth  blood, 
and  will  cut  him  off  from  among 
his  people. 

11  For  the  life  of  the  flesh  zs  in 
the  blood : and  I have  given  it  to 
you  upon  the  altar  -'’to  make  an 
atonement  for  your  souls : for  ^ it 
is  the  blood  that  maketh  an  atone- 
ment for  the  soul. 

1 2 Therefore  I said  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el,  No  soul  of  you 
shall  eat  blood,  neither  shall  any 
stranger  that  sojourneth  among  you 
eat  blood. 

13  And  whatsoever  man  there  be 
of  the  children  of  ls-ra-6l,  or  of 
the  strangers  that  sojourn  among 
you,  ^ which  *hunteth  and  catcheth 
any  beast  or  fowl  that  may  be 
eaten ; he  shall  even  * pour  out  the 
blood  thereof,  and  ^ cover  it  with 
dust. 

14  ”For  it  is  the  life  of  all  flesh ; 
the  blood  of  it  is  for  the  life  there- 
of: therefore  I said  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-$l,  Ye  shall  eat  the 
blood  of  no  manner  of  flesh : for 
the  life  of  all  flesh  is  the  blood 
thereof : whosoever  eateth  it  shall 
be  cut  off. 

15  ^And  every  soul  that  eateth 
®that  which  died  of  itself  or  that 
which  was  torn  with  beasts,  whether 
it  be  one  of  your  own  country,  or  a 
stranger,  ’’he  shall  both  wash  his 
clothes,  *and  bathe  himself  in  water, 
and  be  unclean  until  the  even : then 
shall  he  be  clean. 

16  But  if  he  wash  them  not,  nor 
bathe  his  flesh ; then  **he  shall  bear 
his  iniquity.

1 Of  the  priests’  mourning.  6 Of  their  holiness.  8 Of  their 

estimation.  7,  13  Of  their  marriages.  17  Of  priests  that 

have  blemishes. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-ses, 
Speak  unto  the  priests  the  sons 
of  Aar-6n,  and  say  unto  them,  * There 
shall  none  be  defiled  for  the  dead 
among  his  people: 

2 But  for  his  kin,  that  is  near  unto 
him,  that  is,  for  his  mother,  and  for 
his  father,  and  for  his  son,  and  for 
his  daughter,  and  for  his  brother, 

3 And  for  his  sister  a virgin,  that 
is  nigh  unto  him,  which  hath  had 
no  husband ; for  her  may  he  be 
defiled. 

4:  Bict  ^he  shall  not  defile  himself, 
being  a chief  man  among  his  people, 
to  profane  himself. 

5 ‘’They  shall  not  make  baldness 
upon  their  head,  neither  shall  they 
shave  off  the  corner  of  their  beard, 
nor  make  any  cuttings  in  their 
flesh. 

6 They  shall  be  holy  unto  their 
God,  and  ^not  profane  the  name  of 
their  God : for  the  offerings  of  the 
Lord  made  by  fire,  and  Hhe  bread 
of  their  God,  they  do  offer : there- 
fore they  shall  be  holy. 

7 ^They  shall  not  take  a wife  that 
is  a whore,  or  profane  ; neither  shall 
they  take  a woman  ^put  away  from 
her  husband:  for  he  is  holy  unto 
his  God. 

8 Thou  shalt  sanctify  him  there- 
fore; for  he  offereth  the  bread  of 
thy  God:  he  shall  be  holy  unto 
thee : ‘"for  I the  Lord,  which  sanc- 
tify you,  am  holy. 

9 ^ ‘’And  the  daughter  of  any 
priest,  if  she  profane  herself  by 
playing  the  whore,  she  profaneth 
her  father : she  shall  be  burnt  with 
fire. 

10  ‘’And  he  that  is  the  high  priest 
among  his  brethren,  upon  whose 
head  the  anointing  oil  was  poured,

and  “that  is  consecrated  to  put  on 

the  garments,  ‘^sliall  not  uncover  his

11  Neither  shall  he  ‘^go  in  to  any 
dead  body,  nor  defile  himselt  tor 
his  father,  or  for  his  mother ; 

12  ® Neither  shall  he  go  out  ot  the

him : I am  the  Lord.  . 

13  And  Mie  shall  take  a wife  in 
her  virginity. 

14  A widow,  or  a divorced  woman, 
or  profane,  or  an  harlot,  these  shall 
he  not  take:  but  he  shall  take  a 
virgin  of  his  own  people  to  wife. 

15  Neither  shall  he  profane  his 
seed  among  his  people : for  "I  the

16  ^ And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses,  saying,

Whosoever  he  be  of  thy  seed  in 
their  generations  that  hath  any 
blemish,  let  him  not /approach  to 
offer  the  ^ bread  of  his  God. 

1 8 For  whatsoever  man  he  be  that 
hath  a blemish,  he  shall  not  ap- 
proach: a blind  man,  or  a lame, 
or  he  that  hath  a flat  nose,  or  any 
thing  * superfluous, 

19  Or  a man  that  is  brokenfooted, 
or  brokenhanded, 

20  Or  crookbackt,  or  ®a  dwarf,  or 
that  hath  a blemish  in  his  eye,  or 
be  scurvy,  or  scabbed,  or  *hath  his 
stones  broken* 

21  No  man  that  hath  a blemish  of 
the  seed  of  Aar-5n  the  priest  shall 
come  nigh  to  “offer  the  offerings  of 
the  Lord  made  by  fire:  he  hath  a 
blemish ; he  shall  not  come  nigh  to 
offer  the  bread  of  his  God. 

22  He  shall  eat  the  bread  of  his 
God,  both  of  the  *most  holy,  and  of 
the  ‘'holy. 

23  Only  he  shall  not  go  in  unto  the 
vail,  nor  come  nigh  unto  the  altar, 
because  he  hath  a blemish  ; that 
*he  profane  not  my  sanctuaries : for 
I the  Lord  do  sanctify  them. 

24  And  Mo-s6s  told  it  unto  Aar-6n, 
and  to  his  sons,  and  unto  all  the 
children  of  ls-ra-6l.

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-§6s, 
Xl_  saying, 

2 Speak  unto  Aar-5n  and  to  his 
sons,  that  they  ^separate  themselves

dwellings. 

4 ^ “These  are  the  feasts  of  the

5 ®In  the  fourteenth  day  of  the

6 And  on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the

7 Hn  the  first  day  ye  shall  have

8 But  ye  shall  offer  an  offering 
made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord  seven

9 U And  the  Lord  spake  unto

15  ^ And  ®ye  shall  count  unto  you 
from  the  mori’ow  after  the  sabbath,

16  Even  unto  the  morrow  after  the 
seventh  sabbath  shall  ye  number 
‘^fifty  days ; and  ye  shall  offer  ®a 
new  meat  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

17  Ye  shall  bring  out  of  your

tenth  deals : they  shall  be  of  fine 
flour ; they  shall  be  baken  with 
leaven ; they  are  ^'the  firstfruits  un-

19  Then  ye  shall  sacrifice  ^one  kid

of  the  Is-ra-el-i-tish  woman  and  a 
man  of  Is-ra-el  strove  together  in

11  And  the  IsYa-el-i-tish  woman’s

hearken  unto  me,  but  walk  con- 
trary unto  me; 

28  Then  I will  walk  contrary  unto 
you  also  'in  fury  ; and  I,  even  I, 
will  chastise  you  seven  times  for 
your  sins. 

29  'And  ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of 
your  sons,  and  the  flesh  of  your 
daughters  shall  ye  eat. 

30  And  ""I  will  destroy  your  high 
places,  and  cut  down  your  images, 
and  cast  your  carcases  upon  the 
carcases  of  your  idols,  and  my  soul 
shall  abhor  you. 

31  And  I will  make  your  cities 
waste,  and  ^ bring  your  sanctuaries 
unto  desolation,  and  I will  not  smell 
the  savour  of  your  sweet  odours. 

32  "‘And  I will  bring  the  land  into 
desolation ; and  your  enemies  which 
dwell  therein  shall  be  “astonished 
at  it>.

LEVITICUS,  27. 


Concerning  vows. 


33  And  “I  will  scatter  you  among 
the  heathen,  and  will  draw  out  a 
sword  after  you  : and  your  land 
shall  be  desolate,  and  your  cities 
waste. 

34  ‘^Then  shall  the  land  en]oy  her 
sabbaths,  as  long  as  it  lieth  deso- 
late, and  ye  be  in  your  enemies 
land  ; even  then  shall  the  land  rest, 
and  enjoy  her  sabbaths. 

35  As  long  as  it  lieth  desolate  it 
shall  rest ; because  it  did  not  rest 
in  your  * sabbaths,  when  ye  dwelt 
upon  it. 

36  And  upon  them  that  are  left 
alive  of  you  U will  send  a faintness 
into  their  hearts  in  the  lands  of 
their  enemies  ; and  *the  sound  of  a 
^shaken  leaf  shall  chase  them  ; and 
they  shall  flee,  as  fleeing  from  a 
sword;  and  they  shall  fall  when 
none  pursueth. 

37  And  ’"they  shall  fall  one  upon 
another,  as  it  were  before  a sword, 
when  none  pursueth  : and  ”ye  shall 
have  no  power  to  stand  before  your 
enemies. 

38  And  ye  shall  perish  among  the 
heathen,  and  the  land  of  your  ene- 
mies shall  eat  you  up. 

39  And  they  that  are  left  of  you 
^shall  pine  away  in  their  iniquity 
in  your  enemies’  lands  ; and  also  in 
the  iniquities  of  their  fathers  shall 
they  pine  away  with  them. 

40  ^^If  they  shall  confess  their  in- 
iquity, and  the  iniquity  of  their 
fathers,  with  their  trespass  which 
they  trespassed  against  me,  and 
that  also  they  have  walked  con- 
trary unto  me; 

41  And  that  I also  have  walked 
contrary  unto  them,  and  have 
brought  them  into  the  land  of 
their  enemies  ; if  then  their  ’’uncir- 
cumcised  hearts  be  diumbled,  and 
they  then  accept  of  the  punishment 
of  their  iniquity : 

42  Then  will  I 'remember  my 
covenant  with  Ja-cSb,  and  also  my 
covenant  with  Lsaac,  and  also  my 
covenant  with  A-bra-ham  will  I re- 
member ; and  I will  “remember  the 
land. 

43  *The  land  also  shall  be  left  of 
them,  and  shall  enjoy  her  sabbaths, 
while  she  lieth  desolate  without 
them  : and  they  shall  accept  of  the 
punishment  of  their  iniquity  : _ be- 
cause, even  because  they  ^despised 
my  judgments,  and  because  their 
soul  abhorred  my  statutes. 

44  And  yet  for  all  that,  when  they 
be  in  the  land  of  their  enemies,  U 
will  not  cast  them  away,  neither 
will  I abhor  them,  to  destroy  them 
utterly,  and  to  break  my  covenant

jORD  made  between  him  and  the 
children  of  Is-ra-eUin  mount  Si-nai 
by  the  hand  of  Mo-ses. 

CHAPTER  27. 

1 Concerning  vows.  28  No  devoted  thing  may  he  re- 
deemed. 32  The  tithe  may  not  be  changed. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-ses, 
saying,  ^ , 

2 Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-6l,  and  say  unto  them,  'When  a 
man  shall  make  a singular  vow,  the 
persons  shall  be  for  the  Lord  by 
thy  estimation. 

3 And  thy  estimation  shall  be  of 
the  male  from  twenty  years  old 
even  unto  sixty  years  old,  even  thy 
estimation  shall  be  fifty  shek-els 
of  silver,  ‘’after  the  shek-el  of  the 
sanctuary. 

4 And  if  it  be  a female,  then  thy 
estimation  shall  be  thirty  shek-els. 

5 And  if  it  be  from  five  years  old 
even  unto  twenty  years  old,  then 
thy  estimation  shall  be  of  the  male 
twenty  shek-els,  and  for  the  female 
ten  shek-6ls. 

6 And  if  it  be  from  a month  old 
even  unto  five  years  old,  then  thy 
estimation  shall  be  of  the  male  five 
sh6k-els  of  silver,  and  for  the  fe- 
male thy  estimation  shall  be  three 
shek-els  of  silver. 

7 And  if  it  be  from  sixty  years 
old  and  above;  if  it  be  a male, 
then  thy  estimation  shall  be  fif- 
teen shek-els,  and  for  the  female 
ten  shek-els. 

8 But  if  he  be  poorer  than  thy 
estimation,  then  he  shall  present 
himself  before  the  priest,  and  the 
priest  shall  value  him ; according 
to  his  ability  that  vowed  shall  the 
priest  value  him. 

9 And  if  it  be  a beast,  whereof  men 
bring  an  offering  unto  the  Lord,  all 
that  any  man  giveth  of  such  unto 
the  Lord  shall  be  holy. 

10  He  shall  not  alter  it,  nor  change 
it,  a good  for  a bad,  or  a bad  for  a 
good : and  if  he  shall  at  all  change 
beast  for  beast,  then  it  and  the  ex- 
change thereof  shall  be  holy. 

11  And  if  it  be  any  unclean  beast, 
of  which  they  do  not  offer  a sacri- 
fice unto  the  Lord,  then  he  shall 
present  the  beast  before  the  priest : 


128 


The  estimation  of  vows, 

12  And  the  priest  shall  value  it, 
whether  it  be  good  or  bad:  ^as  thou 
valuest  it,  tvho  art  the  priest,  so 
shall  it  be. 

13  *But  if  he  will  at  all  redeem 
it,  then  he  shall  add  a fifth  part 
thereof  unto  thy  estimation. 

14  U And  when  a man  shall  sanc- 
tify his  house  to  be  holy  unto  the 
Lord,  then  the  priest  shall  estimate 
it,  whether  it  be  good  or  bad : as 
the  priest  shall  estimate  it,  so  shall 
it  stand. 

15  ®And  if  he  that  sanctified  it  will 
redeem  his  house,  then  he  shall  add 
the  fifth  part  of  the  money  of  thy 
estimation  unto  it,  and  it  shall  behis. 

16  And  if  a man  shall  sanctify  un- 
to the  Lord  some  part  of  a field  of 
his  possession,  then  thy  estimation 
shall  be  according  to  the  seed  there- 
of: '^an  ho-mer  of  barley  seed  shall 
be  valued  at  fifty  shek-els  of  silver. 

17  If  he  sanctify  his  field  from  the 
year  of  ju-bi-le,  according  to  thy 
estimation  it  shall  stand. 

18  But  if  he  sanctify  his  field 
after  the  ju-bi-le,  then  the  priest 
shall  '‘reckon  unto  him  the  money 
according  to  the  years  that  remain, 
even  unto  the  year  of  the  ju-bi-le, 
and  it  shall  be  abated  from  thy 
estimation. 

19  *And  if  he  that  sanctified  the 
field  will  in  any  wise  redeem  it, 
then  he  shall  add  the  fifth  part  of 
the  money  of  thy  estimation  unto 
it,  and  it  shall  be  assured  to  him. 

20  And  if  he  will  not  redeem  the 
field,  or  if  he  have  sold  the  field 
to  another  man,  it  shall  not  be 
redeemed  any  more. 

21  But  the  field,  "‘when  it  goeth 
out  in  the  ju-bi-le,  shall  be  holy 
unto  the  Lord,  as  a field  ^devoted ; 
''the  possession  thereof  shall  be  the 
priest’s. 

22  And  if  a man  sanctify  unto  the 
Lord  a field  which  he  hath  bought, 
which  is  not  of  the  fields  of  diis 
possession ; 

23  “Then  the  priest  shall  reckon 
unto  him  the  worth  of  thy  esti- 
I nation,  even  unto  the  year  of  the 


and  their  redemption. 

ju-bi-le : and  he  shall  give  thine 

estimation  in  that  day,  as  a holy 
thing  unto  the  Lord. 

24  “In  the  year  of  the  ju-bide  the 
field  shall  return  unto  him  of 
whom  it  was  bought,  even  to  him 
to  whom  the  possession  of  the  land 
did  belong. 

25  And  all  thy  estimations  shall 
be  according  to  the  shek-el  of  the 
sanctuary : ‘'twenty  ge-rahs  shall  be 
the  shek-el. 

26  ^ Only  the  firstling^  of  the 
beasts,  which  should  be  the  Lord’s 
firstling,  no  man  shall  sanctify  it; 
whether  it  be  ox,  or  sheep : it  is 
the  Lord’s. 

27  And  if  it  be  of  an  unclean  beast, 
then  he  shall  redeem  it  according 
to  thine  estimation,  •'^and  shall  add 
a fifth  part  of  it  theret9 : or  if  it 
be  not  redeemed,  then  it  shall  be 
sold  according  to  thy  estimation. 

28  ''Notwithstanding  no  devoted 
thing,  that  a man  shall  devote 
unto  the  Lord  of  all  that  he  hath, 
both  of  man  and  beast,  and  of  the 
field  of  his  possession,  shall  be 
sold  or  redeemed:  every  devoted 
thing  is  most  holy  unto  the  Lord. 

29  ‘None  devoted,  which  shall  be 
devoted  of  men,  shall  be  redeemed ; 
but  shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

30  And  'all  the  tithe  of  the  land, 
whether  of  the  seed  of  the  land, 
or  of  the  fruit  of  the  tree,  is  the 
Lord’s:  it  is  holy  unto  the  Lord. 

31  "“And  if  a man  will  at  all  re- 
deem ought  of  his  tithes,  he  shall 
add  thereto  the  fifth  part  thereof. 

32  And  concerning  the  tithe  of  the 
herd,  or  of  the  flock,  even  of  what- 
soever ‘’passeth  under  the  rod,  the 
tenth  shall  be  holy  unto  the  Lord. 

33  He  shall  not  search  whether  it 
be  good  or  bad,  "'neither  shall  he 
change  it : and  if  he  change  it  at 
all,  then  both  it  and  the  change 
thereof  shall  be  holy ; it  shall  not 
be  redeemed. 

34  'These  are  the  command- 
ments, which  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo-s6s  for  the_  children  of  Is-ra-gl 
in  mount  Si-nai.

4  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l  did 
so,  and  put  them  out  without  the 
camp:  as  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-sgs,  so  did  the  children  ot  Is- 

5 U And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo' 
ses,  saying. 


Restitution  in  trespasses.  NUMBEKS, 


The  trial  of  jealousy. 


6 Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el,  “When  a man  or  woman  shall 
commit  any  sin  that  men  commit, 
to  do  a trespass  against  the  Lord, 
and  that  person  be  guilty ; 

7 ^Then  they  shall  confess  their 
sin  which  they  have  done : and  he 
shall  recompense  his  trespass  with 
the  principal  thereof,  and  add  unto 
it  the  fifth  part  thereof,  and  give 
it  unto  him  against  whom  he  hath 
trespassed. 

8 But  if  the  man  have  no  kinsman 
to  recompense  the  trespass  unto,  let 
the  trespass  be  recompensed  unto 
the  Lord,  even  to  the  priest ; beside 
®the  ram  of  the  atonement,  where- 
by an  atonement  shall  be  made  for 
him. 

9 And  every  ^ offering^  of  all  the 
holy  things  of  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el,  which  they  bring  unto  the 
priest,  shall  be  his. 

10  And  every  man’s  hallowed 
things  shall  be  his : whatsoever 
any  man  giveth  the  priest,  it  shall 
be  *his. 

11  H And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses,  saying, 

1 2 ^ Speak  unto  the  children  of 
I§-ra-el,  and  say  unto  them.  If  any 
man’s  wife  go  aside,  and  commit  a 
trespass  against  him, 

13  And  a man  4ie  with  her  car- 
nally, and  it  be  hid  from  the  eyes 
of  her  husband,  and  be  kept  close, 
and  she  be  defiled,  and  there  be  no 
witness  against  her,  neither  she  be 
taken  with  the  manner; 

14  And  the  spirit  of  jealousy  come 
upon  him,  and  he  be  jealous  of  his 
wife,  and  she  be  defiled : or  if  the 
spirit  of  jealousy  come  upon  him. 
and  he  be  jealous  of  his  wife,  and 
she  be  not  defiled : 

15  Then  shall  the  man  bring  his 
wife  unto  the  priest,  and  he  shall 
bring  her  offering  for  her,  the  tenth 
part  of  an  e-ph^  of  barley  meal ; 
be  shall  pour  no  oil  upon  it,  nor 
put  frankincense  thereon  ; for  it  is 
an  offering  of  jealousy,  an  offering 
of  memorial,  "bringing  iniquity  to 
remembrance. 

16  And  the  priest  shall  bring  her 
near,  and  ^set  her  before  the  Lord  : 

1 7 And  the  priest  shall  take  holy 
water  in  an  earthen  vessel ; and  of 
the  dust  that  is  in  the  floor  of  the 
tabernacle  the  priest  shall  take,  and 
put  it  into  the  water  : 

18  And  the  priest  shall  set  the 
woman  before  the  Lord,  and  un- 
cover the  woman’s  head,  and  put 
the  offering  of  memorial  in  her 
hands,  which  is  the  jealousy  offer-

21  Then  the  priest  shall  charge 
the  woman  with  an  oath  of  curs- 
ing, and  the  priest  shall  say  unto 
the  woman,  -^The  Lord  make  thee 
a curse  and  an  oath  among  thy 
people,  when  the  Lord  doth  make 
thy  thigh  to  ^rot,  and  thy  belly  to 
swell ; 

22  And  this  water  that  causeth 
the  curse  ’‘shall  go  into  thy  bowels, 
to  make  thy  belly  to  swell,  and  thy 
thigh  to  rot : * And  the  woman  shall 
say,  A-men',  a-men'. 

23  And  the  priest  shall  write  these 
curses  in  a book,  and  he  shall  blot 
them  out  with  the  bitter  water : 

24  And  he  shall  cause  the  woman 
to  drink  the  bitter  water  that  caus- 
eth the  curse : and  the  water  that 
causeth  the  curse  shall  enter  into 
her,  and  become  bitter. 

25  Then  the  priest  shall  take  the 
jealousy  offering  out  of  the  woman’s 
hand,  and  shall  "‘wave  the  offering 
before  the  Lord,  and  offer  it  upon 
the  altar : 

26  "And  the  priest  shall  take  an 
handful  of  the  offering,  even  the 
memorial  thereof,  and  burn  it  up- 
on the  altar,  and  afterward  shall 
cause  the  v/oman  to  drink  the 
water. 

27  And  when  he  hath  made  her  to 
drink  the  water,  then  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that,  if  she  be  defiled,  and 
have  done  trespass  against  her*  hus- 
band, that  the  water  that  causeth 
the  curse  shall  enter  into  her,  and 
become  bitter,  and  her  belly  shall 
swell,  and  her  thigh  shall  rot : and 
the  woman  ^ shall  be  a curse  among

be  free,  and  shall  conceive  seed.

"instead  of  her  husband,  and  is  de-

CHAPTER  6. 

1 The  law  of  the  Nazarites  in  their  separation.  22  The 

form,  of  blessing  the  people. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-ses, 
saying, 

2 Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el,  and  say  unto  them,  When 
either  man  or  woman  shall  ‘^sepa- 
rate ‘^themselves  to  vow  a vow  of 
a Naz-a-rite,  to  separate  themselves 
unto  the  Lord  : 

3 ^ He  shall  separate  himself  from 
wine  and  strong  drink,  and  shall 
drink  no  vinegar  of  wine,  or  vine- 

gar  of  strong  drink,  neither  shall 
e drink  any  liquor  of  grapes,  nor 
eat  moist  grapes,  or  dried. 

4  All  the  days  of  his  ^sejiaration 
shall  he  eat  nothing  that  is  made 
of  the  '^vine  tree,  from  the  kernels 
even  to  the  husk. 

5  All  the  days  of  the  vow  of  his 
separation  there  shall  no  * razor 
come  upon  his  head  : until  the  days 
be  fulfilled,  in  the  which  he  sepa- 
rateth  himself  unto  the  Lord,  he 
shall  be  holy,  _ and  shall  let  the 
locks  of  the  hair  of  his  head  grow. 

6  All  the  days  that  he  separateth 
himself  unto  the  Lord  ""he  shall 
come  at  no  dead  body. 

7  ”He  shall  not  make  himself  un- 
clean for  his  father,  or  for  his 
mother,  for  his  brother,  or  for  his 
sister,  when  they  die : because  the 
® consecration  of  his  God  is  upon 
his  head. 

8  All  the  days  of  his  separation  he 
is  holy  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  if  any  man  die  very  sud- 
denly by  him,  and  he  hath  defiled 
the  head  of  his  consecration ; then 
he  shall  '‘shave  his  head  in  the  day 
of  his  cleansing,  on  the  seventh  day 
shall  he  shave  it.  ^ 

10  And  *on  the  eighth  day  he  shall 
bring  two  turtles,  or  two  young 
pigeons,  to  the  priest,  to  the  door 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion: 

11  And  the  priest  shall  offer  the 
one  for  a sin  offering,  and  the  other 
for  a burnt  offering,  and  make  an 
atonement  for  him,  for  that  he 
sinned  by  the  dead,  and  shall  hal- 
low his  head  that  same  day. 

12  And  he  shall  consecrate  unto 
the  Lord  the  days  of  his  separa- 
tion, and  shall  bring  a lamb  of  the 
first  year  ^'for  a trespass  offering: 
but  the  days  that  were  before  shall

13  ^ ^d  this  is  the  law  of  the 
Naz-a-rite,  ‘*when  the  days  of  his 
separation  are  fulfilled : he  shall  be 
brought  unto  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation : 

14  And  he  shall  offer  his  offering 
unto  the  Lord,  one  he  lamb  of  the 
first  year  without  blemish  for  a 
burnt  offering,  and  one  ewe  lamb 
of  the  first  year  without  blemish 
‘'for  a sin  offering,  and  one  ram  with- 
out blemish  ® for  peace  offerings, 

15  And  a basket  of  unleavened 
bread,  /cakes  of  fine  flour  mingled 
with  oil,  and  wafers  of  unleavened 
bread  '‘anointed  with  oil,  and  their 
meat  offering,  and  their  'drink  oL 
ferings. 

1 6 And  the  priest  shall  bring  them 
before  the  Lord,  and  shall  offer  his 
sin  offering,  and  his  burnt  offering : 

1 7 And  he  shall  offer  the  ram  for 
a sacrifice  of  peace  offerings  unto 
the  Lord,  with  the  basket  of  un- 
leavened bread:  the  priest  shall 
offer  also  his  meat  offering,  and 
his  drink  offering. 

18  'And  the  Naz-a-rite  shall  shave 
the  head  of  his  separation  at  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  shall  take  the  hair 
of  the  head  of  his  separation,  and 
put  it  in  the  fire  which  is  under 
the  sacrifice  of  the  peace  offerings. 

19  And  the  priest  shall  take  the 
"sodden  shoulder  of  the  ram,  and 
one  unleavened  cake  out  of  the 
basket,  and  one  unleavened  wafer, 
and  shall  put  them  upon  the  hands 
of  the  Naz^a-rite,  after  the  hair  of 
his  separation  is  shaven : 

20  And  the  priest  shall  wave  them 
for  a wave  offering  before  the  Lord; 
^this  is  holy  for  the  priest,  with  the 
wave  breast  and  heave  shoulder: 
and  after  that  the  Naz-a-rite  may

rite  who  hath  vowed,  and ^ of  his 
offering  unto  the  Lord  for  his  sepa- 
ration, beside  that  that  his  hand 
shall  get:  according  to  the  vow 
which  he  vowed,  so  he  must  do 
after  the  law  of  his  separation.

1 The  offering  of  the  princes  at  the  dedication  of  the  taber- 
nacle. 10  Their  several  offerings  at  the  dedication  of  the 
altar. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  on  the  day 
J\.  that  Mo-§6s  had  fully  * set  up 
the  tabernacle,  and  had  anointed 
it,  and  sanctified  it,  and  all  the  in- 
struments thereof,  both  the  altar 
and  all  the  vessels  thereof,  and  had 
anointed  them,  and  sanctified  them ; 

2 That  ”the  princes  of  Is-ra-el, 
heads  of  the  house  of  their  fathers, 
who  were  the  princes  of  the  tribes, 
^and  were  over  them  that  were 
numbered,  offered : 

3 And  they  brought  their  offer- 
ing before  the  Lord,  six  covered 
wagons,  and  twelve  oxen ; a wagon 
for  two  of  the  princes,  and  for  each 
one  an  ox : and  they  brought  them 
before  the  tabernacle. 

4 And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-ses, 
saying, 

5 Take  it  of  them,  that  they  may 
be  to  do  the  service  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation ; and  thou 
shalt  give  them  unto  the  Le-vites, 
to  every  man  according  to  his  serv- 
ICG. 

6 And  Mo-s6s  took  the  wagons  and 
the  oxen,  and  gave  them  unto  the 
Le-vites. 

7 Two  wagons  and  four  oxen  “he 
gave  unto  the  sons  of  Ger-shOn,  ac- 
cording to  their  service : 

8 ^ And  four  wagons  and  eight  oxen 
he  gave  unto  the  sons  of  Me-ra-ri, 
according  unto  their  service,  ^ under 
the  hand  of  Ith-a-mar  the  son  of 
Aar-On  the  priest. 

9 But  unto  the  sons  of  Ko-hath  he 
gave  none : because  ""the  service  of 
the  sanctuary  belonging  unto  them 
*was  that  they  should  bear  upon 
their  shoulders. 

10  H And  the  princes  9ffered  for 
‘dedicating  of  the  altar  in  the  day 
that  it  was  anointed,  even  the 
princes  offered  their  offering  be- 
fore the  altar. 

1 1 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
s6s.  They  shall  offer  their  offering, 
each  prince  on  his  day,  for  the 
dedicating  of  the  altar. 

1 2 51  And  he  that  offered  his  offer- 
ing the  first  day  was  “Nah-shOn  the 
son  of  Am -min-a-dab,  of  the  tribe

A 


ND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-sgs, 


saying, 

2 Speak  unto  Aar-6n,  and  say  unto 
him.  When  thou  ^lightest  the  lamps, 
the  seven  lamps  shall  give  light  over 
against  the  candlestick. 

3 And  Aar-on  did  so;  he  light- 
ed the  lamps  thereof  over  against 
the  candlestick,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo-ses. 

4 ^‘And  this  work  of  the  candle- 

stick vjas  of  beaten  gold,  unto  the 
shaft  thereof,  unto  the  flowers 
thereof,  was  * beaten  work : * ac- 
cording unto  the  pattern  which 
the  Lord  had  shewed  Mo-§es,  so 
he  made  the  candlestick.  ^ 

5 ^ And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo- 

§es,  saying.  ^ ^ 

6 Take  the  LeWites  from  among 
the  children  of  If?-ra-6l,  and  cleanse 
them. 

7 And  thus  shalt  thou  do  unto 
them,  to  cleanse  them  : Sprinkle

of  the  Levites. 


“let^  them  shave  all  their  flesh,  and 
let  them  wash  their  clothes,  and  so 
make  themselves  clean. 

8 Then  let  them  take  a young 
bullock  with  *his  meat  oflering, 
even  fine  flour  mingled  with  oil, 
and  another  young  bullock  shalt 
thou  take  for  a sin  ofiering. 

9 ‘^And  thou  shalt  bring  the  Le- 
vites before  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation:  -^and  thou  shalt  ga- 
ther the  whole  assembly  of  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el  together : 

10  And  thou  shalt  bring  the  Le- 
vites before  the  Lord  : and  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-r4-el  shall  put  their 
hands  upon  the  Le-vltes : 

11  And  Aar-6n  shall  ^ offer  the 
Le-vites  before  the  Lord  for  an 
^offering  of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el, 
that  ^they  may  execute  the  service 
of  the  Lord. 

12  * And  the  Le-vItes  shall  lay  their 
hands  upon  the  heads  of  the  bul- 
locks : and  thou  shalt  offer  the  one 
for  a sin  offering,  and  the  other  for 
a burnt  offering,  unto  the  Lord,  to 
make  an  atonement  for  the  Le-vltes. 

1 3 And  thou  shalt  set  the  Le-vltes 
before  Aar-On,  and  before  his  sons, 
and  offer  them  for  an  offering  unto 
the  Lord. 

14  Thus  shalt  thou  separate  the 
Le-vltes  from  among  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el : and  the  Le-vltes  shall 
be  ’‘mine. 

15  And  after  that  shall  the  Le-vltes 
go  in  to  do  the  service  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation : and  thou 
shalt  cleanse  them,  and  "offer  them 
for  an  offering. 

16  For  they  are  wholly  given  unto 
rne  from  among  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el  ; ^instead  of  such  as  open  every 
womb,  even  instead  of  the  firstborn 
of  all  the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  have 
I taken  them  unto  me. 

17  ®For  all  the  firstborn  of  the 
children  of  Is-ra-6l  are  mine,  both 
man  and  beast : on  the  day  that  I 
smote  every  firstborn  in  the  land 
of  E-gypt  I sanctified  them  for  my- 
self. 

18  And  I have  taken  the  Le-vltes 
for  all  the  firstborn  of  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el. 

19  And  have  given  the  Le-vltes 
as  ®a  gift  to  Aar-5n  and  to  his  sons 
from  among  the  children  of  Is-ra-el, 
to  do  the  service  of  the  children  of 
Is-rarel  in  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  to  make  an  atone- 
ment for  the  children  of  Is-ra-el : 
“that  there  be  no  plague  among  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el,  when  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-M  come  nigh  unto  the 
sanctuary. 


20  And  Mo-ses,  and  Aar-dn,  and 
all  the  congregation  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el,  did  to  the  Le-vltes 
according  unto_  all  that  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo-ses  concerning  the 
LeWites,  so  did  the  children  of  I§- 
ra-el  unto  them. 

21  "And  the  Le-vltes  were  purified, 
and  they  washed  their  clothes;  "and 
Aar-Dn  offered  them  as  an  offering 
before  the  Lord  ; and  Aar-5n  made 
an  atonement  for  them  to  cleanse 
them. 

22  S' And  after  that  went  the  Le- 
vltes  in  to  do  their  service  in  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation  be- 
fore Aar-on,  and  before  his  sons : 
’as  the  Lord  had  commanded  Mo- 
ses concerning  the  Le-vltes,  so  did 
they  unto  them. 

23  H And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses,  saying, 

24  This  is  it  that  helongeth  unto 
the  Le-vltes : ^from  twenty  and  five 
years  old  and  upward  they  shall  go 
in  ®to  wait  upon  the  service  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation : 

25  And  from  the  age  of  fifty  years 
they  shall  ®cease  waiting  upon  the 
service  thereof^  and  shall  serve  no 
more : 

26  But  shall  minister  with  their 
brethren  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  ’“to  keep  the  charge, 
and  shall  do  no  service.  Thus  shalt 
thou  do  unto  the  Le-vltes  touching 
their  charge. 

CHAPTER  9. 

1 The  passover  commanded.  6 A second  passover 
allowed.  15  A cloud  guideth  the  Israelites. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-ses 
XA.  in  the  wilderness  of  Sl-nai,  in 
the  first  month  of  the  second  year 
after  they  were  come  out  of  the 
land  of  E-gypt,  saying, 

2 Let  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  also 
keep  ’'the  passover  at  his  appointed 
season. 

3 In  the  fourteenth  day  of  this 
rnonth,  ’^at  even,  ye  shall  keep  it  in 
his  appointed  season : according  to 
all  the  rites  of  it,  and  according  to 
all  the  ceremonies  thereof,  shall  ye 
keep  it. 

4 And  Mo-ses  spake  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el,  that  they  should 
keep  the  passover. 

5 And  Hhey  kept  the  passover 
on  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  first 
month  at  even  in  the  wilderness 
of  Sl-nai : according  to  all  that  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo-ses,  so  did 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el.

A second  passover  allowed.  NUMBERS,  10. 


the  passover  on  that  day : ®and  they 
came  before  Mo-ses  and  before  Aar- 
On  on  that  day : 

7 And  those  men  said  unto  him, 
We  are  defiled  by  the  dead  body 
of  a man : wherefore  are  we  kept 
back,  that  we  may  not  offer  an 
offering  of  the  Lord  in  his  ap- 
pointed season  among  the  children 
of  Is-ra-6l  1 

8 And  Mo-ses  said  unto  them. 
Stand  still,  and  will  hear  what 
the  Lord  will  command  concern- 
ing you. 

9 ^ And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo- 
ses, saying,  ^ ^ 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-6l,  saying,  If  any  man  of  you  or 
of  your  posterity  shall  be  unclean 
b^  reason  of  a dead  body,  or  he  in 
a journey  afar  off,  yet  he  shall  keep 
the  passover  unto  the  Lord, 

11  “^The  fourteenth  day  of  the 
second  month  at  even  they  shall 
keep  it,  and  ® eat  it  with  unleav- 
ened bread  and  bitter  herbs. 

12  ^They  shall  leave  none  of  it 
unto  the  morning,  '^nor  break  any 
bone  of  it:  * according  to  all  the 
ordinances  of  the  passover  they 
shall  keep  it. 

13  But  the  man  that  is  clean,  and 
is  not  in  a journey,  and  forbeareth 
to  keep  the  passover,  even  the  same 
soul  ^ shall  be  cut  off  from  among 
his  people:  because  he  "‘br9ught 
not  the  offering  of  the  Lord  in  his 
appointed  season,  that  man  shall 
"bear  his  sin. 

14  And  if  a stranger  shall  sojourn 
among  you,  and  will  keep  the  pass- 
over  unto  the  Lord  ; according  to 
the  ordinance  of  the  passover,  and 
according  to  the  manner  thereof,  so 
shall  he  do : ^ye  shall  have  one  or- 
dinance, both  for  the  stranger,  and 
for  him  that  was  born  in  the  land. 

15  II  And  ’’on  the  day  that  the 
tabernacle  was  reared  up  the  cloud 
covered  the  tabernacle,  namely,  the 
tent  of  the  testimony:  and  *at  even 
there  was  upon  the  tabernacle  as  it 
were  the  appearance  of  fire,  until 
the  morning. 

16  So  it  was  alway : the  cloud 
covered  it  by  day,  and  the  appear- 
ance of  fire  by  night. 

17  And  when  the  cloud  *was  taken 
up  from  the  tabernacle,  then  after 
that  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l  jour- 
neyed : and  in  the  place  where  the 
cloud  abode,  there  the  children  of 
Is-ra-6l  pitched  their  tents. 

18  At  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l  jour- 
neyed, and  at  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  they  pitched : ^as  long

days,  then  the  children  of  IsHa-M 
^kept  the  charge  of  the  Lord,  and 
journeyed  not. 

20  And  so  it  was,  when  the  cloud 
was  a few  days  upon  the  tabernacle ; 
according  to  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  they  abode  in  their  tents, 
and  according  to  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  they  journeyed. 

21  And  so  it  was,  when  the  cloud 
^ abode  from  even  unto  the  morn- 
ing, and  that  the  cloud  was  taken 
up  in  the  morning,  then  they  jour- 
neyed : whether  it  was  by  day  or 
by  night  that  the  cloud  was  taken 
up,  they  journeyed. 

22  Or  whether  it  were  two  days,  or 
a month,  or  a year,  that  the  cloud 
tarried  upon  the  tabernacle,  re- 
maining thereon,  the  children  of 
IsHa-el  ^ abode  in  their  tents,  and 
journeyed  not:  but  when  it  was 
taken  up,  they  journeyed. 

23  At  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  they  rested  in  the  tents,  and 
at  the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
they  journeyed:  they  *kept  the 
charge  of  the  Lord,  at  the  com-

of  Mo-ses.

ite,  Mo-ses’  father  in  law.  We  are 
journeying  unto  the  place  of  which 
the  Lord  said,  I will  give  it  you : 
come  thou  with  us,  and  ^‘we  will 
do  thee  good : for  ^'the  Lord  hath 
spoken  good  concerning  Is-ra-el. 

30  And  he  said  unto  him,  I wdll 
not  go;  but  I will  depart  to  mine 
own  land,  and  to  my  kindred. 

31  And  he  said.  Leave  us  not, 
I pray  thee;  forasmuch  as  thou 
knowest  how  we  are  to  encamp  in 
the  wilderness,  and  thou  mayest 
be  to  us  Gnstead  of  eyes. 

32  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  go  with 
us,  yea,  it  shall  be,  that  “what  good- 
ness the  Lord  shall  do  unto  us,  the 
same  will  we  do  unto  thee. 

33  U And  they  departed  from 
Hhe  mount  of  the  Lord  three  days’ 
journey:  and  the  ark  of  the  cov- 
enant of  the  Lord  ^went  before 
them  in  the  three  days’  journey,  to 
search  out  a resting  place  for  them. 

34  And  “the  cloud  of  the  Lord 
was  upon  them  by  day,  when  they 
went  out  of  the  camp.

‘^Rise  up.  Lord,  and  let  thine  ene- 
mies be  scattered ; and  let  them 
that  hate  thee  flee  before  thee.

thou  shouldest  say  unto  me,  Carry 
them  in  thy  bosom,  as  a ® nursing 
father  beareth  the  sucking  child, 
unto  the  land  which  thou  -^swarest

13  * Whence  should  I have  flesh  to 
give  unto  all  this  people!  for  they 
weep  unto  me,  saying.  Give  us  flesh, 
that  we  may  eat. 

14  H am  not  able  to  bear  all  this

Mo-sgs.  Gather  unto  me  ^seventy 
men  oi  the  elders  of  Is-ra-gl,  whom 
thou  knowest  to  be  the  elders  of 
the  people,  and  officers  over  them ; 
and  Bring  them  unto  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  that  they  may 
stand  there  with  thee. 

17  And  I will  ®come  down  and  talk 
with  thee  there : and  ^1  will  take  of 
the  spirit  which  is  upon  thee,  and 
will  put  it  upon  them ; and  they 
shall  bear  the  burden  of  the  people 
with  thee,  that  thou  bear  it  not 
thyself  alone. 

18  And  say  thou  unto  the  people, 

* Sanctify  yourselves  against  to  mor- 
row, and  ye  shall  eat  flesh : for  ye 
have  wept  Hn  the  ears  of  the  Lord, 
saying,  Who  shall  give  us  flesh  to 
eat!  ""for  it  was  well  with  us  in 
E-gjBt : therefore  the  Lord  will 
give  you  flesh,  and  ye  shall  eat. 

19  Ye  shall  not  eat  one  day,  nor 
two  days,  nor  five  days,  neither  ten 
days,  nor  twenty  days  ; 

20  ^But  even  a whole  month,  un- 
til it  come  out  at  your  nostrils,  and 
it  be  loathsome  unto  you : because 
that  ye  have  despised  the  Lord 
which  among  you,  and  have  wept 
before  him,  saying,  ®Why  came  we 
forth  out  of  E-gypt ! 

21  And  Mo-sgs  said,  “The  people, 
among  whom  I am,  are  six  hun- 
dred thousand  footmen ; and  thou 
hast  said,  I will  give  them  flesh, 
that  they  may  eat  a whole  month. 

22  * Shall  the  flocks  and  the  herds 
be  slain  for  them,  to  suffice  them! 
or  shall  all  the  fish  of  the  sea  be 
gathered  together  for  them,  to  suf- 
fice them! 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-sgs, 
“Is  the  Lord’s  hand  waxed  short! 
thou  shaft  see  now  whether  ''my 
word  shall  come  to  pass  unto  thee 
or  not. 

24  H And  Mo-sg.s  went  out,  and 
told  the  people  the  words  of  the 
Lord,  and  ‘'gathered  the  seventy 
men  of  the  elders  of  the  people, 
and  set  them  round  about  the 
tabernacle. 

25  And  the  Lord  ^came  down  in 
a cloud,  and  spake  unto  him,  and 
took  of  the  spirit  that  was  upon 
him,  and  gave  it  unto  the  seventy 
elders;  and  it  came  to  pa.ss,  that, 
*when  the  spirit  rested  upon  them, 
'they  prophesied,  and  did  not 
cease. 

26  But  there  remained  two  of  the 
men  in  the  camp,  the  name  of  the 
one  was  El-dad,  and  the  name  ot 
the  other  Me-dad : and  the  spirit 
rested  upon  them ; and  they  were  of 
them  that  were  written,  but  “went

not  out  unto  the  tabernacle ; and 
they  prophesied  in  the  camp. 

27  And  there  ran  a young  man, 

and  told  Mo-ses,  and  said,  El-dM 
and  Me-dad  ’do  prophesy  in  the 
camp.  _ 

28  And  JOsh-u-a  the  son  of  Nun, 
the  servant  of  Mo%es,  one  of  his 
young  men,  answered  and  said.  My 
lord  Mo-ses,  ‘'forbid  them. 

29  And  Mo^es  said  unto  him, 
Enviest  thou  for  my  sakel  ® would 
God  that  all  the  Lord’s  people  were 
prophets,  and  that  the  Lord  would 
put  his  spirit  upon  them  ! 

30  And  Mo-ses  gat  him  into  the 
camp,  he  and  the  elders  of  Is-ra-el. 

31  ^ And  there  went  forth  a ^ wind 


from  the  Lord,  and  brought  quails 
from  the  sea,  and  let  them  fall  by 
the  camp,  ^as  it  were  a day’s  jour- 
ney on  this  side,  and  as  it  were  a 
day’s  journey  on  the  other  side, 
round  about  the  camp,  and  as  it 
were  two  cubits  high  upon  the  face 
of  the  earth. 

32  And  the  people  stood  up  all 
that  day,  and  all  that  night,  and  all 
the  next  day,  and  they  gathered 
the  quails : he  that  gathered  least 
gathered  ten  ^ ho-mers : and  they 
spread  them  all  abroad  for  them- 
selves round  about  the  camp. 

33  And  while  the  ’"flesh  was  yet 
between  their  teeth,  ere  it  was 
chewed,  the  wrath  of  the  Lord  was 
kindled  against  the  people,  and  the 
Lord  smote  the  people  with  a very 
great  plague. 

34  And  he  called  the  name  of  that 
place  ^Kib-rOth-hat-ta-a-vah : be- 
cause there  they  buried  the  people 
that  lusted. 

35  ^And  the  people  journeyed  from 
Kib-r5th-hat-ta-a-vah  unto  Ha-ze- 
r5th ; and  ^ abode  at  Ha-ze-rbth.

Miriam  s leprosy  is  healed  at  the  prayer  of  Moses.  14 

She  is  shut  out  of  the  camp. 

AND  Mirn-am  and  Aar-6n  spake 
ijL  against  Mo-sgs  because  of  the 
^E-thi-o-pi-an  woman  whom  he  had 
married:  for  ^he  had  ^married  an 
E-thi-o-pi-an  woman. 

2 And  they  said.  Hath  the  Lord  in- 
deed spoken  only  by  Mo^es  % ^hath 
he  not  spoken  also  by  us  % And  the 
Lord  ‘'heard  it. 

3 (Now  the  man  Mo-ses  was  very 
meek,  above  all  the  men  which 
were  upon  the  face  of  the  earth.) 

4 ®And  the  Lord  spake^  suddenly 
unto  Mo-ses,  and  unto  Aar-On,  and 
unto  Mir4-am,  Come  out  ye  three 
unto  the  tabernacle  of  the  congre- 
gation. And  they  three  came  out.

the  pillar  of  the  cloud,  and  stood 
in  the  door  of  the  tabernacle,  and 
called  Aar-5n  and  Mir-i-am:  and 
they  both  came  forth. 

6 And  he  said.  Hear  now  my 
words : If  there  be  a prophet 
among  you,  I the  Lord  will  make 
rnyself  known  unto  him  ^in  a vi- 
sion, and  will  speak  unto  him  ^in 
a dream.

who  is  faithful  in  all  ^mine  house. 

8 With  him  will  I speak  ^mouth 
to  mouth,  even  ’apparently,  and 
not  in  dark  speeches ; and  * the 
similitude  of  the  Lord  shall  he  be- 
hold: wherefore  then  ’"were  ye  not 
afraid  to  speak  against  my  servant 
Mo-ses  1 

9 And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was 
kindled  against  them;  and  he  de- 
parted. 

10  And  the  cloud  departed  from 
off  the  tabernacle;  and,  "behold, 
Mir4-am  became  '’leprous,  ivhite  as 
snow : and  Aar-5n  looked  upon 
Mir-i-am,  and,  behold,  she  was  lep- 
rous. 

11  And  Aar-5n  said  unto  Mo-ses, 
Alas,  my  lord,  I beseech  thee,  «lay 
not  the  sin  upon  us,  wherein  we 
have  done  foolishly,  and  wherein 
we  have  sinned. 

12  Let  her  not  be  *as  one  dead,  of 
whom  the  flesh  is  half  consumed 
when  he  cometh  out  of  his  mother’s 
womb. 

13  And  Mo-ses  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  saying.  Heal  her  now,  O God, 
I beseech  thee. 

14  H And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, Hf  her  father  had  but  spit  in 
her  face,  should  she  not  be  ashamed 
seven  days'?  let  her  be  '’'shut  out 
from  the  camp  seven  days,  and 
after  that  let  her  be  received  in 
again. 

15  ^^And  Mir-i-am  was  shut  out 
from  the  camp  seven  days : and  the 
people  o’enmeyed  not  till  Mir-i-am 
was  brought  in  again. 

16  And  afterward  the  people  re- 
moved from  ‘’Ha-ze-r5th,  and  pitched 
in  the  wilderness  of  Pa-ran.

between  two  upon  a staff;  and  they 
brought  of  the  pomegranates,  and 
of  the  figs.

back  word  unto  them,  and  unto  all

the  fruit  of  the  land. 

27  And  they  told  him,  and  said. 
We  came  unto  the  land  whither 
thou  sentest  us,  and  surely  it  flow- 
eth  with  ^milk  and  honey;  ‘‘and  this 
is  the  fruit  of  it. 

28  Nevertheless  /the  people  be

the  cities  are  walled,  and  very

up  at  once,  and  possess  it for  we 
are  well  able  to  overcome  it. 

31  ^But  the  men  that  went  up 
with  him  said.  We  be  not  able  to 
go  up  against  the  people  ; for  they 
are  stronger  than  we. 

32  And  they  ^brought  up  an  evil 
report  of  the  land  which  they  had 
searched  unto  the  children  of  1§- 
rAel,  saying.  The  land,  througli 
which  we  have  gone  to  search  it, 
is  a land  that  eateth  up  the  in- 
habitants thereof  ; and  *all  the 
people  that  we  saw  in  it  are  -^men 
of  a great  stature. 

33  And  there  we  saw  the  giants, 
*the  sons  of  A-nak,  which  come  of 
the  giants  : and  we  were  in  our  own

of  E-gypt ! or  “would  God  we  had  “seever.28,29. 
died  in  this  wilderness  ! * oeut.  9. 28. 

3 And  wherefore  hath  the  Lord 
brought  us  unto  this  land,  to  fall  by 
the  sword,  that  our  wives  and  our 
children  should  be  a prey?  were 
it  not  better  for  us  to  return  into 


E-gypt?  ^ 

4 And  they  said  one  to  another, 
"''Let  us  make  a captain,  and  ®let  us 
return  into  E-gypt. 

5 Then  -^Mo-ses  and  Aar-5n  fell  on 
their  faces  before  all  the  assembly 
of  the  congregation  of  the  children 
of  If?h*a-el. 

6 ^ *And  Josh-u-a  the  son  of  Nun, 
and  -Gadeb  the  son  of  Je-phun-n6h. 
'which  were  of  them  that  searched 
the  land,  rent  their  clothes ; 

7 And  they  spake  unto  all  the 
company  of  the  children  of  IsdA-el, 
saying,  ’“The  land,  which  we  passed 
through  to  search  it,  is  an  exceed- 
ing good  land. 

8 If  the  Lord  ^delight  in  us,  then 
he  will  bring  us  into  this  land,  and 
give  it  us ; ®a  land  which  floweth 
with  milk  and  honey. 

9 Only  rebel  not  ye  against  the 
Lord,  ^neither  fear  ye  the  people 
of  the  land;  for  “they  are  bread 
for  us : their  ^ defence  is  departed 
from  them,  ^and  the  Lord  is  with 
us : fear  them  not. 

10  “But  all  the  congregation  bade 
stone  them  with  stones.  And  *the 
glory  of  the  Lord  appeared  in  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation  be- 
fore all  the  children  of  IsdA-el. 

11  H And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo-ses,  How  long  will  this  people 
® provoke  me?  and  how  long  will  it 
be  ere  they  •^believe  me,  for  all  the 
signs  which  I have  shewed  among 
them  ? 

12  I will  smite  them  with  the 
pestilence,  and  disinherit  them, 
and  ^will  make  of  thee  a greater 
nation  and  mightier  than  they. 

13  H And  ’Mo-ses  said  unto  the 
Lord,  Then  the  E-gyp-tjans  shall 
hear  it,  (for  thou  broughtest  up  this 
people  in  thy  might  from  among 
them ;) 

^14  And  they  will  tell  it  to  the 
inhabitants  of  this  land  : ’“/or  they 
have  heard  that  thou  Lord  art 
among  this  people,  that  thou  Lord 
art  seen  face  to  face,  and  that  ^thy 
cloud  standeth  over  them,  and  that 
thou  goest  before  them,  by  day  time 
in  a pillar  of  a cloud,  and  in  a pillar 
of  fire  by  night.

this  people  as  one  man,  then  the

of  thee  will  speak,  saying, 

16  Because  the  Lord  was  not  ®able 
to  bring  this  people  into  the  land 
which  he  sware  unto  them,  there- 
fore he  hath  slain  them  in  the  wil- 
derness. 

17  And  now,  I beseech  thee,  let  the 
power  of  my  Lord  be  great,  accord- 
ing as  thou  hast  spoken,  saying, 

18  The  Lord  ‘^longsufiering,  and 
of  great  mercy,  forgiving  iniquity 
and  transgression,  and  by  no  means 
clearing  the  guilt'll,  ^visiting  the  in- 
iquity of  the  fathers  upon  the  chil- 
dren unto  the  third  and  fourth 
generation. 

19  ’Pardon,  I beseech  thee,  the 
iniquity  of  this  people  ^according 
unto  the  greatness  of  thy  mercy, 
and  ^as  thou  hast  forgiven  this 
people,  from  E-gypt  even  ^ until 
now. 

20  And  the  Lord  said,  I have  par- 
doned “according  to  thy  word  : 

21  But  as  truly  as  I live,  "all  the 
earth  shall  be  filled  with  the  glory 
of  the  Lord. 

22  “Because  all  those  men  which 
have  seen  my  glory,  and  my  mir- 
acles, which  I did  in  E-gypt  and  in 
the  wilderness,  and  have  tempted 
me  now  "'these  ten  times,  and  have 
not  hearkened  to  my  voice ; 

23  ^ Surely^  they  shall  not  see  the 
land  which  I sware  unto  their  fa- 
thers, neither  shall  any  of  them 
that  provoked  me  see  it 

24  But  my  servant  'GaTeb,  be- 
cause he  had  another  spirit  with 
him,  and  ‘^hath  followed  me  fully, 
him  will  I bring  into  the  land 
whereinto  he  went ; and  his  seed 
shall  possess  it. 

25  (Now  the  Am-a-lek-ites  and  the 
Ga-naan-ites  dwelt  in  the  valley.) 
To  morrow  turn  you,  ®'and  get  you 
into  the  wilderness  by  the  way  of 
the  Red  sea. 

26  ^ And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses  and  unto  Aar-6n,  saying, 

27  *How  long  shall  I hear  with 
this  evil  congregation,  which  mur- 
mur against  me  ? H have  heard  the 
rnurmurings  of  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el,  which  they  murmur  against 
me. 

28  Say  unto  them,  “As  trul'y  as  I 
live,  saith  the  Lord,  "as  ye  have 
spoken  in  mine  ears,  so  will  I do 
to  you : 

29  Your  carcases  shall  fall  in  this 
wilderness  ; and  ^all  that  were  num- 
bered of  you,  according  to  your

36  ^And  the  men,  which  Mo-ses 
sent  to  search  the  land,  who  re- 
turned, and  made  all  the  congre-

unto  all  the  children  of  IsdA-gl : 
*and  the  people  mourned  greatly. 
40  51  And  they  rose  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  gat  them  up  into

promised : for  we  have  sinned.

sinneth  ignorantly,  when  he  sin- 
neth  by  ignorance  before  the  Lord, 
to  make  an  atonement  for  him ; ana 
it  shall  be  forgiven  him. 

29  ‘^Ye  shall  have  one  law  for  him 
that  ^sinneth  through  ignorance, 
both  for  him  that  is  born  among 
the  children  of  IsYa-el,  and  for  the 
stranger  that  sojourneth  among 
them. 

30  U “^But  the  soul  that  doeth 
ought  ^presumptuously,  whether  he 
be  born  in  the  land,  or  a stran- 
ger, the  same  reproacheth  the 
Lord  ; and  that  soul  shall  be  cut 
off  from  among  his  people. 

31  Because  he  hath  ^despised 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  hath 
broken  his  commandment,  that 
soul  shall  utterly  be  cut  off;  ‘his 
iniquity  shall  be  upon  him. 

32/1  And  while  the  children  of 
IsYa-el  were  in  the  wilderness, 
'they  found  a man  that  gathered 
sticks  upon  the  sabbath  day. 

33  And  they  that  found  him 
gathering  sticks  brought  him  unto 
Mo-ses  and  Aar-On,  and  unto  all  the 
congregation. 

34  And  they  put  him  “in  ward, 
because  it  was  not  declared  what 
should  be  done  to  him. 

35  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo-ses, 
"The  man  shall  be  surely  put  to 
death : all  the  congregation  shall 
^stone  him  with  stones  without  the 
camp. 

36  And  all  the  congregation  brough  t 
him  without  the  camp,  and  stoned 
him  with  stones,  and  he  died ; as 
the  Lord  commanded  Mo-ses. 

37  U And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses,  saying, 

38  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
IsYa-el,  and  bid  *them  that  they 
make  them  fringes  in  the  borders 
of  their  garments  throughout  their 
generations,  and  that  they  put  upon 
the  fringe  of  the  borders  a ribband 
of  blue : 

39  And  it  shall  be  unto  you  for  a 
fringe,  that  ye  may  look  upon  it, 
and  remember  all  the  command-

and  that  ye  “seek  not  after  your 
own  heart  and  your  own  eyes,  after 
which  ye  use  2' to  go  a whoring  :

CHAPTER  16. 

1 The  rebellion  of  Korah,  Dathan,  and  Abiram.  31  Their 

punishment.  41  A great  plague  is  sent.  46  Aaron  by 

incense  stayeth  the  plague.  ^ 

~\rOW  ‘'KoAah,  the  son  of  Iz-har, 
the  son  of  Ko-hath,  the  son 
of  Le-vl,  and  Da-than  and  A-bi-ram, 
the  sons  of  E-li-ab,  and  On,  the 
son  of  Pedeth,  sons  of  Reu-ben, 
took  men: 

2 And  they  rose  up  before  Mo-ses, 
with  certain  of  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el,  two  hundred  and  fifty  princes 
of  the  assembly,  ^famous  in  the 
congregation,  men  of  renown : 

3 And  '^they  gathered  themselves 
together  against  Mo-ses  and  against 
Aar-6n,  and  said  unto  them,  Ye 
take  too  much  upon  you,  seeing 
^all  the  congregation  are  holy, 
every  one  of  them,  ”"and  the  Lord 
is  among  them : wherefore  then 
lift  ye  up  yourselves  above  the 
congregation  of  the  LordI 

4 And  when  Mo-ses  heard  it,  ”he 
fell  upon  his  face : 

5 And  he  spake  unto  Kodah  and 
unto  all  his  company,  saying. 
Even  to  morrow  the  Lord  will 
shew  who  are  his,  and  who  is 
"holy ; and  will  cause  hini  to  come 
near  unto  him : even  him  whom 
he  hath  ^chosen  will  he  cause  to 
^come  near  unto  him. 

6 This  do ; Take  you  censers,  Ko- 
rah, and  all  his  company  ; 

7 And  put  fire  therein,  and  put 
incense  in  them  before  the  Lord  to 
moiTOw ; and  it  shall  be  that  the 
man  whom  the  Lord  doth  choose, 
he  shall  be  holy : ye  take  too  much 
upon  you,  ye  sons  of  LeAi. 

8 And  Mo-se§  said  unto  Kodah, 
Hear,  I pray  you,  ye  sons  of  Le-yi : 

9 Seemeth  it  but  ^ a small  thing 
unto  you,  that  the  God  of  Is-ra-el 
hath  ^separated  you  from  the  con- 
gregation of  IshA-el,  to  bring  you 
near  to  himself  to  do  the  service 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  and 
to  stand  before  the  congregation  to 
minister  unto  them '? 

1 0 And  he  hath  brought  thee  near 
to  him.  and  all  thy  brethren  the 
sons  or  Le-vl  with  thee : and  seek 
ye  the  priesthood  also*? 

11  For  which  cause  both  thou 
and  all  thy  company  are  gathered 
together  against  the  Lord  : ^ and 
what  is  Aar-On,  that  ye  murmur 
against  himl 

12  ^ And  Mo-s6s  sent  to  call  Da- 
than and  A-bi-ram,  the  sons  of 
E-li-ab : which  said.  We  will  not 
come  ud; 


13  it  a small  thing  that  thou 

hast  brought  us  up  out  of  a land 
that  floweth  with  milk  and  honey, 
to  kill  us  in  the  wilderness,  except 
thou  *make  thyself  altogether  a 
prince  over  usl 

1 4 Moreover  thou  hast  not  brought 
us  into  ‘^a  land  that  floweth  with 
milk  and  honey,  or  given  us  in- 
heritance of  fields  and  vineyards: 
wilt  thou  ^ i)ut  out  the  eyes  of  these 
men '?  we  will  not  come  up. 

15  And  Mo-ses  was  very  wroth, 

and  said  unto  the  Lord,  ® Respect 
not  thou  their  offering : have 

not  taken  one  ass  from  them,  nei- 
ther have  I hurt  one  of  them. 

16  And  Mo-ses  said  unto  Ko-r^h, 

* Be  thou  and  all  thy  company 

* before  the  Lord,  thou,  and  they, 
and  Aar-On,  to  morrow : 

1 7 And  take  every  man  his  censer, 
and  put  incense  in  them,  and  bring 
ye  before  the  Lord  every  man  his 
censer,  two  hundred  and  fifty  cen- 
sers ; thou  also,  and  Aar-on,  each  of 
you  his  censer. 

18  And  they  took  every  man  his 
censer,  and  put  fire  in  them,  and 
laid  incense  thereon,  and  stood  in 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation with  Mo-ses  and  Aar-on. 

19  And  Koh’ah  gathered  all  the 
congregation  against  them  unto 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation  : and  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  appeared  unto  all  the 
congregation. 

20  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo- 
ses and  unto  Aar-5n,  saying. 

21  * Separate  yourselves  from  a- 
mong  this  congregation,  that  I may 
'consume  them  in  a moment. 

22  And  they  **fell  upon  their'  laces, 
and  said,  O God,  ^the  God  of  the 
spirits  of  all  flesh,  shall  one  man 
sin,  and  wilt  thou  be  wroth  with 
all  the  congregation'? 

23  H And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses,  saying, 

24  Speak  unto  the  congregation, 
saying.  Get  you  up  from  about  the 
tabernacle  of  KoAah,  Da-than,  and 
A-biham. 

25  And  Mo-§es  rose  up  and  went 
unto  Da-than  and  A-bl-ram  ; and 
the  elders  of  ls-ra-6l  followed  him. 

26  And  he  spake  unto  the  con- 
gregation, saying,  “Depart,  I pray 
you,  from  the  tents  of  these  wicked 
men,  and  touch  notliing  of  their’s, 
lest  ye  be  consumed  in  all  their  sins. 

27  So  they  gat  up  from  the  taber- 
nacle of  Kohah,  Da-than,  and  A-bi- 
ram,  on  every  side:  and  DaAhan 
and  A-bi-ram  came  out,  and  stood 
in  the  door  of  their  tents,  and  their

30  But  if  the  Lord  ‘^make  ®a  new 
thing,  and  the  earth  openher  mouth, 
and  swallow  them  up,  with  all  that 
appertain  unto  them,  and  they  '"go 
down  quick  into  the  pit;  then  ye 
shall  understand  that  these  men 
have  provoked  the  Lord. 

315!  ‘And  it  came  to  pass,^  as  he 
had  made  an  end  of  speaking  all 
these  words,  that  the  ground  clave 
asunder  that  ivas  under  them  : 

32  And  the  earth  opened  her 
mouth,  and  swallowed  them  up, 
and  their  houses,  and  ”‘all  the  men 
that  ajppertained  unto  Koh-ah,  and 
all  their  goods. 

33  They,  and  all  that  appertained 
to  them,  went  down  alive  into  the 
pit,  and  the  earth  closed  upon 
them  : and  they  perished  from 
among  the  congregation. 

34  And  all  Ish*a-el  that  were  round 
about  them  fled  at  the  cry  of  them  : 
for  they  said.  Lest  the  earth  swal- 
low us  up  also. 

35  And  there  "came  out  a fire  from 
the  Lord,  and  consumed  ^the  two 
hundred  and  fifty  men  that  offered 
incense. 

36  U And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses,  saying,  _ 

37  Speak  unto  E-le-a-zar  the  son 
of  Aar-6n  the  priest,  that  he  take 
up  the  censers  out  of  the  burning,

against  their  own  souls,  let  them 
make  them  broad  plates  for  a cov- 
ering of  the  altar  : for  they  offered 
them  before  the  Lord,  therefore 
they  are  hallowed  : “and  they  shall

Mo-ses. 

41  II  But  on  the  morrow  *’all  the 
congregation  of  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el  murmured  against  Mo-ses  and 
against  Aar-on,  saying.  Ye  have 
killed  the  people  of  the  Lord. 

42  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
congregation  was  gathered  against 
Mo-ses  and  against  Aar-5n,  that 
they  looked  toward  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation : and,  behold, 

the  cloud  covered  it,  and  ^ the  glory 
of  the  Lord  appeared. 

43  And  Mo-ses  and  Aar-5n  came 
before  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation. 

44  H And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses,  saying, 

45  *Get  you  up  from  among  this 
congregation,  that  I may  consume 
them  as  in  a moment.  And  Hhey 
fell  upon  their  faces. 

46  ^ And  Mo-ses  said  unto  Aar-5n, 
Take  a censer,  and  put  fire  therein 
from  off  the  altar,  and  put  on  in- 
cense, and  go  quickly  unto  the  con- 
gregation, and  make  an  atonement 
for  them : “for  there  is  wrath  gone 
out  from  the  Lord  ; the  plague  is 
begun. 

47  And  Aar-5n  took  as  Mo-ses 
commanded,  and  ran  into  the  midst 
of  the  congregation ; and,  behold, 
the  plague  was  begun  among  the 
people  : and  he  put  on  incense,  and 
made  an  atonement  for  the  people. 

48  And  he  stood  between  the  dead 
and  the  living ; and  ^?the  plague  was 
stayed. 

49  Now  they  that  died  in  the 
plague  were  fourteen  thousand  and 
seven  hundred,  “beside  them  that 
died  about  the  matter  of  KoYah^ 

50  And  Aar-On  returned  unto  Mo- 
ses unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation  : and  the  plague 
was  stayed.

one  rod  shall  he  for  the  head  of  the 
house  of  their  fathers.

5 And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
the  man’s  rod,  * whom  I shall  choose, 
shall  blossom : and  I will  make  to 
cease  from  me  the  murmurings  of 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  ‘^whereby 
they  murmur  against  you. 

6 ^ And  Mo-ses  spake  unto  the 
children  of  Is-ra-6l,  and  every  one 
of  their  princes  gave  him  ^a  rod 
apiece,  for  each  prince  one,  ac- 
cording to  their  fathers’  houses, 
even  twelve  rods : and^  the  rod  of 
Aar-6n  was  among  their  rods. 

7 And  Mo-ses  laid  up  the  rods 
before  the  Lord  in  *the  tabernacle 
of  witness. 

8 And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on  the 
morrow  Mo-ses  went  into  the  taber- 
nacle of  witness ; and,  behold,  the 
rod  of  Aar-6n  for  the  house  of 
Le-vi  was  budded,  and  brought 
forth  buds,  and  bloomed  blossoms, 
and  yielded  almonds. 

9 And  Mo-s6s  brought  out  all  the 
rods  from  before  the  Lord  unto  all 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el : and  they 
looked,  and  took  every  man  his  rod. 

10  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
s6s.  Bring  ”Aar-5n’s  rod  again  before 
the  testimony,  to  be  kept  ^ for  a 
token  against  the  ^rebels ; «and  thou 
shalt  quite  take  away  their  mur- 
murings from  me,  that  they  die  not. 

1 1 And  Mo-ses  d.id  so ; as  the  Lord 
commanded  him,  so  did  he.  „ 

12  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l 
spake  unto  Mo-ses,  saying.  Behold, 
we  die,  we  perish,  we  all  perish. 

13  “Whosoever  cometh  any  thing 
near  unto  the  tabernacle  of  the 
Lord  shall  die ; shall  we  be  con- 
sumed with  dying'?

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Aar-5n, 
^Thou  and  thy  sons  and  thy 
father’s  house  with  thee  shall  *bear 
the  iniquity  of  the  sanctuary : and 
thou  and  thy  sons  with  thee  shall 
bear  the  iniquity  of  your  priesthood. 

2 And  thy  brethren  also  of  the 
tribe  of  L^vl,  the  tribe  of  thy  fa- 
ther, bring  thou  with  thee,  that 
they  may  be  joined  unto  thee,  and 
‘'minister  unto  thee  : but  ''thou  and 
thy  sons  with  thee  shall  minister 
before  the  tabernacle  of  witness.

nigh  the  vessels  of  the  sanctuary

4 And  they  shall  be  joined  unto 

thee,  and  keep  the  charge  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  for 
all  the  service  of  the  tabernacle : 
“and  a stranger  shall  not  come  nigh 
unto  you. 

5 And  ye  shall  keep  “the  charge 
of  the  sanctuary,  and  the  charge 
of  the  altar : •''that  there  be  no 
wrath  any  more  upon  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el. 

6 And  I,  behold,  I have  ‘'taken 
your  brethren  the  Le-vites  from 
among  the  children  of  Ish-a-el : ^to 
you  they  are  given  as  a gift  for 
the  Lord,  to  do  the  service  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

7 Therefore  *thou  and  thy  sons 
with  thee  shall  keep  your  priest’s 
office  for  every  thing  of  the  altar, 
and  'within  the  vail ; and  ye  shall 
serve : I have  given  your  priest^s 
office  unto  you  as  a service  of  gift : 
and  the  stranger  that  cometh  nigh 
shall  be  put  to  death. 

8 H And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Aar-on,  BehoH,  "“I  also  have  given 
thee  the  charge  of  mine  heave  of- 
ferings of  all  the  hallowed  things 
of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el ; unto  thee 
have  I given  them  “by  reason  of  the 
anointing,  and  to  thy  sons,  by  an 
ordinance  for  ever. 

9 This  shall  be  thine  of  the  most 
holy  things,  reserved  from  the  fire  : 
every  oblation  of  their’s,  every 
""meat  offering  of  their’s,  and  every 
"sin  offering  of  their’s,  and  every 
'trespass  offering  of  their’s,  which 
they  shall  render  unto  me,  shall 
be  most  holy  for  thee  and  for  thy 
sons. 

10  *In  the  most  holy  place  shall 
thou  eat  it ; every  male  sliall  eat 
it:  it  shall  he  holy  unto  thee. 

1 1 And  this  is  thine ; the  heave 
offering  of  their  gift,  with  all  the 
wave  offerings  of  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el : I have  given  them  unto 
“thee,  and  to  thy  sons  and  to  thy 
daughters  with  thee,  by  a statute 
for  ever:  “every  one  that  is  clean 
in  thy  house  shall  eat  of  it.

all  the  best  of  the  wine,  and  of 
the  wheat,  “the  firstfruits  of  them 
v/hich  they  shall  offer  unto  the 
Lord,  them  have  I given  thee. 

13  And  whatsoever  is  first  ripe  in 
the  lanci,  'which  they  shall  bring 
unto  the  Lord,  shall  be  thine; 

every  one  that  is  clean  in  thine

nevertheless  “the  firstborn  of  man 
shalt  thou  surely  redeem,  and  the 
firstling  of  unclean  beasts  shalt 
thou  redeem. 

16  And  those  that  are  to  be  re- 
deemed from  a month  old  shalt 
thou  redeem,  ‘^according  to  thine 
estimation,  for  the  money  of  five 
ehek-els,  after  the  shek-el  of  the 
sanctuary,  '"which  is  twenty  ge-rahs. 

17  -^But  the  firstling  of  a cow,  or 
the  firstling  of  a sheep,  or  the  first- 
ling of  a goat,  thou  shalt  not  re- 
deem ; they  are  holy : ^ thou  shalt 
sprinkle  their  blood  upon  the  altar, 
and  shalt  burn  their  fat  for  an  of- 
fering made  by  fire,  for  a sweet 
savour  unto  the  Lord. 

18  And  the  flesh  of  them  shall  be 
thine,  as  the  ''wave  breast  and  as 
the  right  shoulder  are  thine. 

19  *A11  the  heave  offerings  of  the 
holy  things,  which  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el  offer  unto  the  Lord,  have  I 
given  thee,  and  thy  sons  and  thy 
daughters  with  thee,  by  a statute 
for  ever : dt  is  a covenant  of  salt 
for  ever  before  the  Lord  unto  thee 
and  to  thy  seed  with  thee. 

20  U And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Aar-5n,  Thou  shalt  have  no  in- 
heritance in  their  land,  neither 
shalt  thou  have  any  part  among 
them : ^ I am  thy  part  and  thine 
inheritance  among  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el. 

21  And,  behold,_«I  have  given  the 
children  of  Le-vi  all  the  tenth  in 
ls-ra-6l  for  an  inheritance,  for  their 
service  which  they  serve,  even  ^the 
service  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
«?regation. 

22  * Neither  must  the  children  of 
ts-ra-el  henceforth  come  nigh  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  dest 
they  bear  sin,  ^and  die. 

23  *But  the  Le-vites  shall  do  the 
service  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  they  shall  bear  their 
iniquity : it  shall  be  a statute  for 
ever  throughout  your  generations, 
that  among  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
they  have  no  inheritance. 

24  ^But  the  tithes  of  the  children 
of  l§h-a-el,  which  they  offer  as  an 
heave  offering  unto  the  Lord,  I 
have  given  to  the  Le-vites  to  in- 
herit : therefore  I have  said  unto 
them,  '"Among  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-6l  they  shall  have  no  inheritance.

give  the  congregation  and  their 
beasts  drink. 

9 And  Mo-ses  took  the  rod  ‘"from 
before  the  Loud,  as  he  commanded 
him. 

10  And  Mo-ses  and  Aar-5n  gath- 
ered tlie  congregation  together  be- 
fore the  rock,  and  he  said  unto 
them,  ®Hear  now,  ye  rebels  ; must 
we  fetch  you  water  out  of  this  rocki 

1 1 And  Mo-s6s  lifted  up  his  hand, 
and  with  his  rod  he  smote  the  rock 
twice : and  ^the  water  came  out 
abundantly,  and  the  congregation 
drank,  and  their  beasts  also. 

12  ^ And  the  Loed  spake  unto 
Mo-ses  and  Aar-5n,  Because  "ye  be- 
lieved me  not,  to  * sanctify  me  in 
the  eyes  of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el, 
therefore  ye  shall  not  bring  this 
congregation  into  the  land  which 
I have  given  them. 

13  ^This  is  the  water  of  ^Mer4- 
bah ; because  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el  strove  with  the  Loed,  and  he 
was  sanctified  in  them. 

14  ^ ”And  Mo-ses  sent  messengers 
from  Ka-desh  unto  the  king  of 
E-d5m,  ^Thus  saith  thy  brother  Is- 
ra-6l.  Thou  knowest  all  the  travel 
that  hath  ^befallen  us : 

15  ^How  our  fathers  went  down 
into  E-gypt,  ""and  we  have  dwelt  in 
E-gypt  a long  time ; *and  the  E-gyp- 
tians  vexed  us,  and  our  fathers : 

16  And  “when  we  cried  unto  the 
Loed,  he  heard  our  voice,  and  ""sent 
an  angel,  and  hath  brought  us  forth 
out  of  E-o’ypt : and,  behold,  we  are 
in  Ka-desh,  a city  in  the  uttermost 
of  thy  border : 

17  ^Let  us  pass,  I pray  thee, 
through  thy  country:  we  will  not 
pass  through  the^  fields,  or  through 
the  vineyards,  neither  will  we  drink 
of  the  water  of  the  wells : we  will 
go  by  the  king’s  high  way,  we  will 
not  turn  to  the  right  hand  nor  to 
the  left,  until  we  have  passed  thy 
borders.  _ 

18  And  E-d5m  said  unto  him.  Thou 
shalt  not  pass  by  me,  lest  I come 
out  against  thee  with  the  sword. 

19  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  said 
unto  him.  We  will  go  by  the  high 
way  : and  if  I and  my  cattle  drink 
of  thy  water,  "^then  I will  pay  for 
it I will  only,  without  doing  any 
thing  else,  go  through  on  my  feet. 

20  And  he  said,  ^^Thou  shalt  not 
go  through.  And  E-d5m  came  out 
against  him  with  much  people,  and 
with  a strong  hand. 

21  Thus  E-d5m  "refused  to  give 
Is-ra-el  passage  through  his  bor- 
der: wherefore  I§'ra-el  burned 
away  from  him. 


22  H And  the  children  of  Is-rA-61, 
even  the  whole  congregation,  jour- 
neyed from  * Ka-desh,  ‘’and  came 
unto  mount  Hdr. 

23  And  the  Loed  spake  unto  Mo-ses 
and  Aar-6n  in  mount  H6r,  by  th.e 
coast  of  the  land  of  E-d5m,  saying, 

24  Aar-5n  shall  be  "^gathered  unto 
his  people : for  he  shall  not  enter 
into  the  land  which  I have  given 
unto  the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  because 
•^ye  rebelled  against  my  ^word  at 
the  water  of  M6r4-bah. 

25  *^Take  Aar-5n  and  E-le-a-zar  his 
son,  and  bring  them  up  unto  mount 
H6r: 

26  And  strip  Aar-6n  of  his  gar- 
ments, and  put  them  upon  E-le-a- 
zar  his  son:  and  Aar-5n  shall  be 
gathered  unto  his  people,  and  shall 
(110  i}ii0i*0 

27  And  Mo-ses  did  as  the  Loed 
commanded  and  they  went  up  into 
mount  H6r  in  the  sight  of  all  the 
congregation. 

28  "“And  Mo-ses  stripped  Aar-5n  of 
his  garments,  and  put  them  upon 
E-le-a-zar  his  son ; and  ‘’Am’-5n  died 
there  in  the  top  of  the  mount : and 
Mo-ses  and  E-le-a-zar  came  down 
from  the  mount. 

29  And  when  all  the  congregation 
saw  that  Aar-5n  was  dead,  they 
mourned  for  Aar-6n  ^thirty  days, 
even  all  the  house  of  Is-ra-el. 

CHAPTER  21. 

4 The  people  murmuring  are  plagued  with  fiery  ser^ 
pents,  7 but  are  healed  by  a brasen  terpent. 

AND  when  ^king  A-rad  the  -Ca- 
naan-ite,  which  dwelt  in  the 
south,  heard  tell  that  IshA-gl  came 
“by  the  way  of  the  spies ; then  he 
fought  against  I§-ra-el,  and  took 
some  of  them  prisoners. 

2 ^And  Is-ra-el  yowed  a vow  unto 
the  Loed,  and  said,  If  thou  wilt  in- 
deed deliver  this  people  into  my 
hand,  then  ‘’I  will  utterly  destroy 
their  cities. 

3 And  the  Loed  hearkened  to  the 
voice  of  IshA-el,  and  delivered  up 
the  -Ca-naan-ites ; and  they  utterly 
destroyed  them  and  their  cities : 
and  he  called  the  name  of  the  place

sea,  to  -^compass  the  land  of  E-

was  much  discouraged  because  of 
the  way. 

5 And  the  people  ^ spake  against 
God,  and  against  Mo-s6s,  Where-

6 And  ""the  Lord  sent  ** fiery  ser-

Sihon  and  Og  overcome, 

21  IT  And  ''Is-ra-61  sent  messengers 
unto  8idi5n  king  of  the  Am-or-ites, 
saying, 

22  " Let  me  pass  through  thy  land : 
we  will  not  turn  into  the  fields, 
or  into  the  vineyards ; we  will  not 
drink  of  the  waters  of  the  well : but 
we  will  go  along  by  the  king’s  high 
way,  until  we  be  past  thy  borders. 

23  * And  Si-hfin  would  not  suffer 
Is-ra-el  to  pass  through  his  border ; 
but  Si-hDn  gathered  all  his  people 
together,  and  went  out  against 
IsbA-el  into  the  wilderness : * and 
he  came  to  Jadiaz,  and  fouglit  a- 
gainst  Is-ra-el.^ 

24  And  M.s-ra-el  smote  him  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  pos- 
sessed his  land  from  Ar-nOn  unto 
Jab-bfik,  even  unto  the  children 
of  Am-mfin : for  the  border  of  the 
children  of  Am-mOn  was  strong. 

25  And  Is-ra-6l  took  all  these  cities : 
and  Is-ra-el  dwelt  in  all  the  cities 
of  the  Am-6r-ites,  in  Hesh-bfin,  and 
in  all  the  ^ villages  thereof. 

26  For  Hesh-bon  was  the  city  of 
Si-hfin  the  king  of  the  Am-6r-ites, 
who  had  fought  against  the  former 
king  of  Mojab,  and  taken  all  his 
land  out  of  his  hand,  even  unto 
Ar-n5n. 

27  Wherefore  they  that  speak  in 
proverbs  say.  Come  into  Hesh-bfin, 
let  the  city  of  Si-hfin  be  built  and 
prepared : 

28  For  there  is  ’‘a  fire  gone  out 
of  H6sh-b5n,  a flame  from  the  city 
of  Si-hOn : it  hath  consumed  *Ar  of 
Mo-ab,  and  the  lords  of  the  high 
places  of  Ar-nDn. 

29  Woe  to  thee,  Mo-ab  ! thou  art 
undone,  O people  of  ‘-Ghe-mfish  : he 
hath  given  his  sons  that  escaped, 
and  his  daughters,  into  captivity 
unto  Si-hon  king  of  the  Am-6r-ites. 

30  We  have  shot  at  them ; Hesh- 
bCn  is  perished  even  ^ unto  Di-bOn, 
and  we  have  laid  them  waste  even 
unto  No-phah,  which  reacheth  unto 
^Med-e-bA 

31  51  Thus  I§^a-6l  dwelt  in  the 
land  of  the  Am-6r-ites. 

32  And  Mo-ses  sent  to  spy  out 
'' J4-a-zer,  and  they  took  the  villages 
thereof,  and  drove  out  the  Am-or- 
ites  that  were  there. 

33  51  ‘'And  they  turned  and  went 
up  b.y  the  way  of  Ba-shan  : and  Og 
the  king  of  Ba-shan  went  out  a- 
gainst  them,  he,  and  all  his  people, 
to  the  battle  "at  Ed-r6-T. 

34  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
s6s,  •''Fear  him  not:  for  I have  de- 
livered him  into  thy  hand,  and  all 
his  people,  and  his  land  ; and  ^ thou 
shalt  do  to  him  as  thou  didst  unto

dwelt  at  Hesh-b5n. 

35  “So  they  smote  him,  and  his 
sons,  and  all  his  people,  until  there 
was  none  left  him  alive : and  they 
possessed  his  land.

AND  Hhe  children  of  Is-rd-el  set 
forward,  and  pitched  in  the 
lains  of  Mo-ab  on  this  side  Jor- 
an  by  Jer-i-cho. 

2 ^ And  ‘^Badak  the  son  of  Zip-pdr 
saw  all  that  Is-ra-el  had  done  to  the 
Am-6r-ites. 

3 And  ® Mo-ab  was  sore  afraid  of 
the  people,  because  they  were  many : 
and  Mo-ab  was  distressed  because 
of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el. 

4 And  Mo-ab  said  unto the  elders 
of  Mid4-an,  Now  shall  this  company 
lick  up  all  that  are  round  about  us, 
as  the  ox  licketh  up  the  grass  of 
the  field.  And  Badak  the  son.  of 
Zip-p6r  was  king  of  the  Mo-ab-ites 
at  that  time. 

5 ^He  sent  messengers  therefore 
unto  Badaam  the  son  of  Be-dr  to 
*Pe-th6r,  which  is  by  the  river  of 
the  land  of  the  children  of  his  peo- 
ple, to  call  him,  saying,  Behold, 
there  is  a people  come  out  from 
E%ypt;  behold,  they  cover  the 
^face  of  the  earth,  and  they  abide 
over  against  me : 

6 Come  now  therefore,  I pray 
thee,  ” curse  me  this  people;  for 
they  are  too  mighty  for  me:  per- 
adventure  I shall  prevail,  that  we 
may  smite  them,  and  that  I may 
drive  them  out  of  the  land : for  I 
wot  that  he  whom  thou  blessest  is 
blessed,  and  he  whom  thou  cursest 
is  cursed. 

7 And  the  elders  of  Mo-ab  and  the 
elders  of  Mid-i-an  departed  with 
« the  rewards  of  divination  in  their 
hand ; and  they  came  unto  Ba-laam, 
and  spake  unto  him  the  words  of 
Badak. 

8 And  he  said  unto  them,  ® Lodge 
here  this  night,  and  I will  bring 
you  word  again,  as  the  Lord  shall 
speak  unto  me;  and_  the  princes  of 
Mo-ab  abode  with  Badaam. 

9 “And  God  came  unto  Badaam, 
and  said.  What  men  are  these  with 
thee  % 

10  And  Badaam  said  unto  God, 
Badak  the  son  of  Zip-pdr,  king  of 
Mo-ab,  hath  sent  unto  me,  saying, 

11  Behold,  there  is  a people  come 
out  of  E-gypt,  which  covereth  the 
face  of  the  earth  : come  now,  curse 
nic  them  ; peradventure  ^ 1 shall  be 


able  to  overcome  them,  and  drive 
them  out. 

12  And  God  said  unto  Ba-laam, 
Thou  shalt  not  go  with  them  ; thou 
shalt  not  curse  the  people : for  *they 
are  blessed. 

13  And  Ba-laapa  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  said  unto  the  princes 
of  Badak,  Get  you  into  your  land : 
for  the  Lord  ref useth  to  give  me 
leave  to  go  with  you. 

14  And  the  princes  of  Mo-ab  rose 
up,  and  they  went  unto  BaTak, 
and  said,  Badaam  refuseth  to  come 
with  us. 

15  H And  Badak  sent  yet  again 
princes,  more,  and  more  honour- 
able than  they. 

16  And  they  came  to  Badaam,  and 
said  to  him.  Thus  saith  BaTak  the 
son  of  Zip-p6r,  ^Let  nothing,  I pray 
thee,  hinder  thee  from  coming  un- 
to me :

very  great  honour,  and  I will  do 
whatsoever  thou  sayest  unto  me: 
^ come  therefore,  I pray  thee,  curse 
me  this  people. 

18  And  BaTaam  answered  and 
said  unto  the  servants  of  BaTak, 
* If  BaTak  would  give  me  his  house 
full  of  silver  and  gold,  * I cannot  go 
beyond  the  word  of  the  Lord  my 
God,  to  do  less  or  more. 

19  Now  therefore,  I pray  you, 
^ tarry  ye  also  here  this  night,  that 
I may  know  what  the  Lord  will 
say  unto  me  more. 

20  "And  God  came  unto  BaTaam 
at  night,  and  said  unto  him,  If  the 
men  come  to  call  thee,  rise  up,  and 
go  with  them ; but  ^ yet  the  word 
which  I shall  say  unto  thee,  that 
shalt  thou  do. 

21  And  BaTaam  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  saddled  his  ass,  and 
went  with  the  princes  of  Mo-ab. 

22  II  And  God’s  anger  was  kindled 
because  he  went:  ""and  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  stood  in  the  way  for 
an  adversary  against  him.  Now  he 
was  riding  upon  his  ass,  and  his 
two  servants  were  with  him. 

23  And  Hhe  ass  saw  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  standing  in  the  way,  and 
his  sword  drawn  in  his  hand : and 
the  ass  turned  aside  out  of  the  way, 
and  went  into  the  field : and  Ba- 
laam smote  the  ass,  to  turn  her 
into  the  way. 

24  But  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
stood  in  a path  of  the  vineyards,  a 
wall  being  on  this  side,  and  a wall 
on  that  side. 

25  And  when  the  ass  saw  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  she  thrust  her- 
self unto  the  wall,  and  crushed  Ba*

laam’s  foot  against  the  wall:  and 
he  smote  her  again. 

26  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
went  further,  and  stood  in  a nar- 
row place,  where  was  no  way  to 
turn  either  to  the  right  hand  or  to 
the  left. 

27  And  when  the  ass  saw  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  she  fell  down 
under  Badaam:  and  Ba-laam’s  an- 
ger was  kindled,  and  he  smote  the 
ass  with  a staff. 

28  And  the  Lord  ^opened  the 
mouth  of  the  ass,  ancf  she  said 
unto  Badaam,  What  have  I done 
unto  thee,  that  thou  hast  smitten 
me  these  three  times'? 

29  And  Badaam  said  unto  the  ass. 
Because  thou  hast  mocked  me  : I 
would  there  were  a sword  in  mine 
hand,  ‘^for  now  would  I kill  thee. 

30  ® And  the  ass  said  unto  Ba-laam, 
Am  not  I thine  ass,  ‘“^upon  which 
thou  hast  ridden  ^ ever  since  I was 
thine  unto  this  day'?  was  I ever- 
wont  to  do  so  unto  thee'?  And 
he  said.  Nay. 

31  Then  the  Lord  ^opened  the 
eyes  of  Ba-laam,  and  he  saw  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  standing  in  the 
way,  and  his  sword  drawn  in  his 
hand  : and  he  * bowed  down  his 
head,  and  '‘fell  flat  on  his  face. 

32  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said 
unto  him.  Wherefore  hast  thou  smit- 
ten thine  ass  these  three  times  ^ 
behold,  I went  out  ®to  withstand 
thee,  because  thy  way  is  ’^perverse 
before  me: 

33  And  the  ass  saw  me,  and  turned 
from  me  these  three  times:  unless 
she  had  turned  from  me,  surely 
now  also  I had  slain  thee,  and  saved 
her  alive. 

34  And  Badaam  said  unto  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  have  sinned; 
for  I knew  not  that  thou  stoodest 
in  the  way  against  me : now  there- 
fore, if  it  '^displease  thee,  I will  get 
me  back  again. 

35  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said 
unto  Badaam,  Go  with  the  men : 
*but  only  the  word  that  I shall 
speak  unto  thee,  that  thou  shalt 
speak.  So  Badaam  went  with  the 
princes  of  Ba-lak. 

36  ^ And  when  Badak  heard  that 
Badaam  was  come,  *he  went  out 
to  rneet  him  unto  a city  of  Mo-ab, 
^ which  in  the  border  of  Ar-nOn, 
which  is  in  the  utmost  coast. 

37  And  Badak  said  unto  Badaam, 
Lid  I not  earnestly  send  unto 
thee  to  call  thee'?  wherefore  earn- 
est thou  not  unto  me'?  am  I not 
able  indeed  ®to  promote  thee  to

1, 13,  28  Balak’s  sacrifice.  7,  18  Balaam’s  parable. 

AND  Badaam  said  unto  Badak, 
-^Build  me  here  seven  altars, 
and  prepare  me  here  seven  oxen 
and  seven  rams.  ^ 

2 And  Badak  did  as  Badaam  had 
spoken;  and  Badak  and  Badaam 
^offered  on  every  altar  a bullock 
and  a ram. 

3 And  Badaam  said  unto  Badak, 
* Stand  by  thy  burnt  offering,  and 
I will  go:  peradventure  the  Lord 
will  come  Ho  meet  me:  and  what- 
soever he  sheweth  me  I will  tell 
thee.  And  ®he  went  to  an  high 
place. 

4 And  God  met  Badaam : and  he 
said  unto  him,  I have  prepared 
seven  altars,  and  I have  offered 
upon  every  altar  a bullock  and  a 
ram. 

5 And  the  Lord  ‘’put  a word  in 
Badaam’s  mouth,  and  said,  Return 
unto  Badak,  and  thus  thou  shalv 
speak. 

6 And  he  returned  unto  him,  and, 
lo,  he  stood  by  his  burnt  sacrifice, 
he,  and  all  the  princes  of  Mo-ab. 

'7  And  he  ^took  up  his  jiarable, 
and  said,  Badak  the  king  of  J\Io-ab 
hath  brought  me  from  Ad-am,  out 
of  the  mountains  of  the_  east,  say' 
ing,  ’'Come,  curse  me  Ja-€ob,  and 
come,  ''defy  Isd-a-el. 

8 “How  shall  I curse,  whom  God 
hath  not  cursed'?  or  how  shall  I 
defy,  whom  the  Lord  hath  not 
defied  % 

9 For  from  the  top  of  the  rocks

behold  him : lo,  Hhe  people  shall

1 1 And  Badak  said  unto  Ba-laam, 
What  hast  thou  done  unto  me “ I 
took  thee  to  curse  mine  enemies, 
and,  behold,  thou  hast  blessed  them 
altogether. 

12  And  he  answered  and  said, 
^'Must  I not  take  heed  to  speak 
that  which  the  Lord  hath  put  in 
my  mouth  1 _ 

13  And  Badak  said  unto  him. 
Come,  I pray  thee,  with  me  unto 
another  place,  from  whence  thou 
mayest  see  them : thou  shalt  see 
but  the  utmost  part  of  them,  and 
shalt  not  see  them  all:  and  curse 
me  them  from  thence. 

14  U And  he  brought  him  into 
the  field  of  Zo-plnm,  to  the  top  of 
^Pis%ah,  ^and  built  seven  altars, 
and  offered  a bullock  and  a ram 
on  every  altar. 

15  And  he  said  unto  Badak,  Stand 
here  by  thy  burnt  offering,  while  I 
meet  the  Loud  yonder. 

16  And  the  Lord  met  Badaam, 
and  '‘put  a word  in  his  mouth,  and 
said.  Go  again  unto  Badak,  and  say 
thus. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  him, 
behold,  he  stood  by  his  burnt_  of- 
fering, and  the  princes  of  Mo-ab 
with  nim.  And  Badak  said  un- 
to him.  What  hath  the  Lord 
spoken  % 

18  And  he  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said,  ^Bise  up,  Badak,  and 
hear;  hearken  unto  me,  thou  son 
of  Zip-p6r: 

19  "God  is  not  a man,  that  he 
should  lie:  neither  the  son  of  man, 
that  he  should  repent : hath  he 
said,  and  shall  he  not  do  it?  or 
hath  he  spoken,  and  shall  he  not 
make  it  good'? 

20  Behold,  I have  received  com- 
maifidment  to  bless : and  ^he  hath 
blessed;  and  I cannot  reverse  it. 

21  ’‘He  hath  not  beheld  iniquity  in 
Ja-cOb,  neither  hath  he  seen  per- 
verseness in  Is-ra-6l:  ffhe  Lord  his 
God  is  with  him,  ^and  the  shout  of 
a king  is  among  them. 

_22  2/ God  brought  them  out  of 
E-gypt;  he  hath  as  it  were  -the 
strength  of  an  unicorn. 

23  Surely  there  is  no  enchant- 
ment^against  Ja-c5b,neither  is  there 
any  divination  against  Is-ra-el:  ac- 
cording to  this  time  it  shall  be 
said  of  Ja-c5b  and  of  Is-ra-el,  ‘^What 
hath  God  wrought ! 

24  Behold,  the  people  shall  rise 
up  -^as  a great  lion,  and  lift  up 
himself  as  a young  lion:  '‘he  shall 
not  lie  down  until  he  eat  of  the

slain.

Neither  curse  them  at  all,  nor  bless 
them  at  all. 

26  But  Badaam  answered  and  said 
unto  Badak,  Told  not  I thee,  say- 
ing, ''All  that  the  Lord  speaketh, 
that  I must  do'? 

27  IT  And  Badak  said  unto  Badaam, 
‘'Come,  I pray  thee,  I will  bring 
thee  unto  another  place ; perad- 
venture  it  will  please  Goci  that 
thou  mayest  curse  me  them  from 
thence. 

28  And  Badak  brought  Badaam 
unto  the  top  of  Pe-6r,  that  looketh 
"toward  Jeshd-mCn. 

29  And  Badaam  said  unto  Badak, 
•'^Build  me  here  seven  altars,  and 
prepare  me  here  seven  bullocks 
and  seven  rams. 

30  And  Badak  did  as  Badaam  had 
said,  and  offered  a bullock  and  a 
ram  on  every  altar.

1 Balaam  forctelleth  the  happiness  of  Israel.  10  Balak

AND  when  Badaam  saw  that  it 
pleased  the  Lord  to  bless  Is- 
ra-el,  he  went  not,  as  at  'other 
times,  ^to  seek  for  enchantments, 
but  he  set  his  face  toward  the  wil- 
derness. 

2 And  Badaam  lifted  up  his  eyes, 
and  he  saw  Is-ra-el  ^aRiding  in  his 
tents  according  to  their  tribes ; and 
"'‘the  spirit  of  God  came  upon  him. 

3 ”And  he  took  up  his  paraWe, 
and  said,  Badaam  the  son  of  BeRr

are  wen  hath  said : 

4 He  hath  said,  which  heard  the 
words  of  God,  which  saw  the  vision 
of  the  Almighty,  falling  into  a 
trance,  but  having  his  eyes  open: 

5 How  goodly  are  thy  tents,  O 
Ja-cob,  a'lid  thy  tabernacles,  O Is- 
ra-el  ! 

6 As  the  valleys  are  they  spread 
forth,  as  gardens  by  the  river’s  side, 
“as  the  trees  of  lign  aloes  which  the 
Lord  hath  planted,  and  as  cedar 
trees  beside  the  waiters. 

7 He  shall  pour  the  water  out  of 
his  buckets,  and  his  seed  shall  he 
in  many  waters,  and  his  king  shall 
be  higher  than  ®A%ag,  and  his

10  H And  Badak  s anger  was  kin-

his  hands  together : and  Ba-lak 
said  unto  Badaam,  M called  thee  to

unto  great  honour;  but,  lo,  the 
Lord  hath  kept  thee  back  from

1 2 And  Badaam  said  unto  Ba-lak, 

Spake  I not  also  to  thy  messen- 
gers which  thou  sentest  unto  me, 
saying,  , 

13  Mf  Badak  would  give  me  ms 
house  full  of  silver  and  gold,  I can- 
not go  beyond  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord,  to  do  either  good  or

the  Lord  saith,  that  will  I speak'? 

14  And  now,  behold,  1 go  unto  my 
people : come  therefore,  and  will 
advertise  thee  what  this  people 
shall  do  to  thy  people  ^in  the  latter

CHAPTER  25. 

I Israel  at  Shittim  commit  whoredom  and  idolatry. 

6 Zimri  and  Cozbi  slain. 

AND  Is-ra-el  abode  in  ''Shit-tim, 
and  Rhe  people  began  to  com- 
mit whoredom  with  the  daughters 
of  Mo-ab. 

2 And  ^they  called  the  people  unto 
the  sacrifices  of  their  gods : and 

the  people  did  eat,  and  ” bowed 
down  to  their  gods. 

3 And  Is-ra-el  joined  himself  unto 
Ba-al-pe-6r:  and  "the  anger  of  the 
Lord  was  kindled  against  Is-ra-el. 

4 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mohses, 
«Take  all  the  heads  of  the  people, 
and  hang  them  up  before  the  Lord 
against  the  sun,  Hhat  the  fierce 
anger  of  the  Lord  may  be  turned 
away  from  Isb*a-el. 

5 And  Mohses  said  unto  Hhe  judges 
of  IsbA-el,  “^lajr  ye  every  one_^his 
men  that  were  joined  unto  Ba-al- 
pe-or. 

6 H And,  behold,  one  of  the  clnl- 
dren  of  Is-ra-el  came  and  brought 
unto  his  brethren  a Mid-i-an-i-tish 
woman  in  the  sight  of  Mohses,  and 
in  the  sight  of  all  the  congregation 
of  the  children  of  IsAa-el,  ^'who 
were  weeping  before  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

7 And  *when  Phin-e-has,  ‘’the  son 
of  E-le-a-zar,  the  son  of  Aar-on  the 
priest,  saw  it,  he  rose  up  from 
among  the  congregation,  and  took 
a javelin  in  his  hand ; 

8 And  he  went  after  the  man  of 
Is-ra-§l  into  the  tent,  and  thrust 
both  of  them  through,  the  man 
of  IsAa-6l,  and  the  woman  through 
her  belly.  So  -^the  plague  was 
stayed  from  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el. 

9 And  those  that  died  in  the 
plague  were  twenty  and  four  thou- 
sand. 

10  H And  the  Lord  spake  unto 

Mo-s6s,  saying,  - 

II  ^Phtri-e-has,  the  son  of  E-le-a- 
zar,  the  son  of  Aarmn  the  priest, 
hath  turned  my  wrath  away  from 
the  children  of  IsuA-el,  while  he 
was  zealous  ’’‘for  my  sake  among 
them,  that  1 consumed  not  the  diil- 
dren  of  IsbA-M  in  *my  jealousy. 


Israel  numbered  in  NUMBERS,  26.  the  plains  of  Moab, 


12  Wherefore  say,  “Behold,  I give 
unto  him  my  covenant  of  peace : 

13  And  he  shall  have  it,  and  ^his 
seed  after  him,  even  the  covenant 
of  ‘^an  everlasting  priesthood ; be- 
cause he  was  ® zealous  for  his  God, 
and  -^made  an  atonement  for  the 
children  of  Is-rd-el. 

14  Now  the  name  of  the  Is-ra-el-ite 
that  was  slain,  even  that  was  slain 
with  the  Midh-an-i-tish  woman, 
was  Zim-ri,  the  son  of  Sadu,  a 
X)rince  of  a ^ chief  house  among  the 
Sim-e-on-ites. 

15  And  the  name  of  the  Midd-an- 
i-tish  woman  that  was  slain  was 
■€(3z-bi,  the  daughter  of  *Zur;  he 
was  head  over  a people,  and  of  a 
chief  house  in  Midd-an. 

1 6 U And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-s6s,  saying, 

17  ” Vex  the  Midd-an-ites,  and 
smite  them : 

18  For  they  vex  you  with  their 
^ wiles,  wherewith  they  have  be- 
guiled you  in  the  matter  of  Pe-or, 
and  in  the  matter  of  -GOz-bl,  the 
daughter  ^f  a prince  of  Midd-an, 
their  sister,  which  was  slain  in  the 
day  of  the  plague  for  Pe-or’s  sake. 

CHAPTER  26. 

1 T%e  mm  of  all  Israel  taken.  52  The  law  of  dividing 

among  them  the  inheritance  of  the  land.  63  None  were 

left  of  them  which  tvere  numbered  at  Sinai,  but  Caleb 

and  Joshua. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  the 
x\.  plague,  that  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Mo-ses  and  unto  E-le-a-zar  the 
son  of  Aar-5n  the  priest,  saying, 

2 *Take  the  sum  of  all  the  con- 
gregation of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el, 
*from  twenty  years  old  and  upward, 
throughout  tneir  fathers’  house,  all 
that  are  able  to  go  to  war  in  Is-rd-el. 

3 And  Mo-ses  and  E-le-a^ar  the 
priest  spake  with  them  *in  the 
plains  of  Mo-ab  by  Jdr-dan  near 
Jer-i-eho,  saying, 

4 Take  the  sum  of  the  people,  from 
twenty  years  old  and  upward;  as 
the  Lord  ^commanded  Mo^es  and 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  which  went 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt. 

5 U “Reu-ben,  the  eldest  son  of

11  And  if  his  father  have  no  bre- 
thren, then  ye  shall  give  his  in- 
heritance unto  his  kinsman  that  is 
next  to  him  of  his  family,  and  he 
shall  possess  it : and  it  shall  be  un- 
to the  children  of  Is-ra-el  ^a  statute 
of  judgment,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo-ses. 

12  H And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
s6s,  «^Get  thee  up  into  this  mount 
Ab-a-rim,  and  see  the  land  which 
I have  given  unto  the  children  of

ses, Take  thee  J5sh-u-a  the  son  of

40  And  Mo-ses  told  the  children 
of  Is-ra-§l  according  to  all  that  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo-ses. 

CHAPTER  30. 

1 Vows  are  not  to  be  broken.  3 Exception  of  a maid’s  vow. 
6 Of  a wife's.  9 0/  a widow's,  or  her  that  is  divorced. 

AND  Mo-ses  spake  unto  ®the  heads 
Xl_  of  the  tribes  concerning  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el,  saying.  This  is 
the  thing  which  the  Lord  hath 
commanded. 

2 ‘^If  a man  vow  a vow  unto  the 
Lord,  or  ® swear  an  oath  to  bind 
his  soul  with  a bond ; he  shall  not 
^ break  his  word,  he  shall  •''do  ac- 
cording to  all  that  proceedeth  out 
of  his  mouth. 

3 If  a woman  also  vow  a vow  unto 
the  Lord,  and  bind  herself  by  a 
bond,  being  in  her  father’s  house  in 
her  youth ; 

4 And  her  father  hear  her  vow, 
and  her  bond  wherewith  she  hath 
bound  her  soul,  and  her  father  shall 
hold  his  peace  at  her : then  all  her 
vows  shall  stand,  and  every  bond 
wherewith  she  hath  bound  her  soul 
shall  stand. 

5 But  if  her  father  disallow  her  in 
the  day  that  he  heareth ; not  any 
of  her  vows,  or  of  her  bonds  where- 
with she  hath  bound  her  soul,  shall 
stand : and  the  Lord  shall  forgive 
her,  because  her  father  disallowed 
her. 

6 And  if  she  had  at  all  an  hus- 
band, when  ^she  vowed,  or  uttered 
ought  out  of  her  lips,  wherewith 
she  bound  her  soul ; 

7 And  her  husband  heard  it,  and 
held  his  peace  at  her  in  the  day 
that  he  heard  it:  then  her  vows 
shall  stand,  and  her  bonds  where- 
with she  bound  her  soul  shall  stand. 

8 But  if  her  husband  '‘disallowed 
her  on  the  day  that  he  heard  it; 
then  he  shall  make  her  vo^y  which 
she  vowed,  and  that  which  she 
uttered  with  her  lips,  wherewith 
she  Ixmnd  her  soul,  of  none  effect : 
and  the  Lord  shall  forgive  her. 

9 But  every  vow  of  a widow,  and 
of  her  that  is  divorced,  wherewith 
they  have  bound  their  souls,  shall 
stand  against  her. 

10  And  if  she  vowed  in  her  hus-

band’s  house,  or  bound  her  soul  by 
a bond  with  an  oath ; 

1 1 And  her  husband  heard  it,  and 
held  his  peace  at  her,  and  disallowed 
her  not:  then  all  her  vows  shall 
stand,  and  every  bond  wherewith 
she  bound  her  soul  shall  stand. 

12  But  if  her  husband  hath  utterly 
made  them  void  on  the  day  he  heard 
them;  then  whatsoever  proceeded 
out  or  her  lips  concerning  ner  vows, 
or  concerning  the  bond  of  her  soul, 
shall  not  stand : her  husband  hath 
made  them  void ; and  the  Lord 
shall  forgive  her. 

13  Every  vow,  and  every  binding 
oath  to  afflict  the  soul,  her  husband 
may  establish  it,  or  her  husband 
may  make  it  void. 

14  But  if  her  husband  altogether 
hold  his  peace  at  her  from  day 
to  day;  then  he  establisheth  all 
her  vows,  or  all  her  bonds,  which 
are  upon  her : he  confirmeth  them, 
because  he  held  his  peace  at  her  in 
the  day  that  he  heard  them.

them  void  after  that  he  hath  heard 
them;  then  he  shall  bear  her  ini-

16  These  are  the  statutes,  which 
the  Lord  commanded  Mo-s6s,  be- 
tween a man  and  his  wife,  between 
the  father  and  his  daughter,  heinp 
yet  in  her  youth  in  her  father’s

CHAPTER  31. 

I The  Midianites  are  S2X>iled,  and  Balaam  is  slain.  13 
Moses  is  wroth  vnth  the  officers  for  saving  the  women 
alive. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  untoMo-ses, 
saying, 

2 '"Avenge  the  children  of  Isla-el 
of  the  Mid-i-an-ites : afterward  shalt 
thou  "be  gathered  unto  thy  people. 

3 And  Mo-ses  spake  unto  the 
people,  saying.  Arm  some  of  your- 
selves unto  the  war,  and  let  them 
go  against  the  Midl-an-ites,  and 
avenge  the  Lord  of  Midl-an. 

4 ^Of  every  tribe  a thousand, 
throughout  all  the  tribes  of  Isla-el, 
shall  ye  send  to  the  war. 

5 So  there  were  delivered  out  of 
the  thousands  of  Isla-el,  a thou- 
sand of  every  tribe,  twelve  thou- 
sand armed  for  war. 

6 And  Mo-ses  sent  them  to  the 
war,  a thousand  of  every  tribe, 
them  and  Phin-e-has  the  son  of 
E-le-a-zar  the  priest,  to  the  war, 
with  the  holy  instruments,  and 
”the  trumpets  to  blow  in  his  hand. 

7 And  they  warred  against  the 
Midl-an-ites,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo-ses ; and  "they  slew  all 
the  ^males.

i-an,  beside  the  rest  of  them  that 
were  slain  - namely,  and  Re- 

kem,  and  Zur,  and  Hur,  and  Re-ba, 
five  kings  of  Mid-i-an : Badaam 
also  the  son  of  Be-or  they  slew  with 
the  sword. 

9 And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  took 
all  the  women  of  Mid-i-an  captives, 
and  their  little  ones,  and  took  the 
spoil  of  all  their  cattle,  and  all  their 
flocks,  and  all  their  goods. 

10  And  they  burnt  all  their  cities 
wherein  they  dwelt,  and  all  their 
goodly  castles,  with  fire. 

11  And  Hhey  took  all  the  spoil, 
and  all  the  prey,  both  of  men  and 
of  beasts. 

1 2 And  they  brought  the  captives, 
and  the  prey,  and_  the  spoil,  unto 
Mo-ses,  and  E-le-a-zar  the  priest, 
and  unto  the  congregation  of  the 
children  of  ls-ra-el,_unto  the  camp 
at  the  plains  of  Mo-ab,  which  are 
by  Jor-dan  near  Jer-I-cho^ 

13  ^ And  Mo-ses,  and  E-le-a-zar 
the  priesL.  and  all  the  princes  of  the 
congregation,  went  forth  to  meet 
them  without  the  camp. 

14  And  Mo-ses  was  wroth  with 
the  officers  of  the  host,  with  the 
captains  over  thousands,  and  cap- 
tains over  hundreds,  which  came 
from  the  ^battle. 

15  And  Mokses  said  unto  them. 
Have  ye  saved  ‘'all  the  women 
alive'? 

16  Behold,/ these  caused  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el,  through  the  •'^coun- 
sel of  Badaam,  to  commit  trespass 
against  the  Lord  in  the  matter  of 
Pe-6r,  and  ^ there  was  a plague 
among  the  congregation  of  the 
Lord. 

17  Now  therefore  ^ kill  every  male 
among  the  little  ones,  and  kill  every 
woman  that  hath  known  man  by 
lying  with  '^him. 

18  But  all  the  women  children, 
that  have  not  known  a man  by 
lying  with  him,  keep  alive  for 
yourselves. 

19  And  'do  ye  abide  without  the 
camp  seven  days : whosoever  hath 
killed  any  person,  and  ""whosoever 
hath  touched  any  slain,  purify  horn 
yourselves  and  your  captives  on  the 
third  day,  and  on  the  seventh  day.

and  all  Hhat  is  made  of,  skins,  and 
all  work  of  goats’  hair,  and  all 
things  made  of  wood.  . . 

21  H And  E-le-a-zar  the  priest  said 
unto  the  men  of  war  which  went  to 
the  battle.  This  is  the  ordinance  ot 
the  law  which  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo-ses ; 


Division  of  the  prey.

fire,  ye  shall  make  it  go  through 
the  fire,  and  it  shall  be  clean : never- 
theless it  shall  be  purified  “with  the 
water  of  separation  : and  all  that

24  * And  ye  shall  wash  your  clothes 
on  the  seventh  day,  and  ye  shall  be 
clean,  and  afterward  ye  shall  come 
into  the  camp. 

25  U And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo-ses,  saying, 

26  Take  the  sum  of  the  prey  Hhat 
was  taken,  of  man  and  of  beast, 
thou,  and  E-le-a-zar  the  priest,  and 
the  chief  fathers  of  the  congrega- 
tion : 

27  And  ‘^divide  the  prey  into  two 
parts  ; between  them  that  took  the 
war  upon  them,  who  went  out  to

gation :

Lord  of  the  men  of  war  which 
went  out  to  battle  : ® one  soul  of 
five  hundred,  both  of  the  persons, 
and  of  the  beeves,  and  of  the  asses, 
and  of  the  sheep  : 

29  Take  it  of  their  half,  and  give 
it  unto  B-lC-a-zar  the  priest,  for  an 
heave  offering  of  the  Lord. 

30  And  of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  s 

half,  thou  shalt  take  ^one  portion  of 
fifty,  of  the  persons,  of  the  beeves,

31  And  Mo-ses  and  E-le-a-zar  the 
priest  did  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo-s6s. 

32  And  the  booty,  being  the  rest 
of  the  prey  which  the  men  of  war 
had  caught,  was  six  hundred  thou-

thousand  sheep,

over  thousands  of  the  host,  the  cap- 
tains of  thousands,  and  captains  of 
hundreds,  came  near  unto  J\Io-§es  : 

49  And  they  said  unto  Mo-ses, 
Thy  servants  have  taken  the  sum 
of  the  men  of  war  which  are  under 
our  ^charge,  and  there  lacketh  not 
one  man  of  us. 

50  We  have  therefore  brought  an 
oblation  for  the  I.ord,  what  every 
man  hath  “^gotten,  of  jewels  of  gold, 
chains,  and  bracelets,  rings,  ear- 
rings, and  tablets,  *to  make  an 
atonement  for  our  souls  before  the 
Lord. 

51  And  Mo-sSv?  and  E-le-a-zar  the 
priest  took  the  gold  of  them,  even 
all  wrought  jewels. 

52  And  all  the  gold  of  the  ®offer- 
ing  that  they  offered  up  to  the 
Lord,  of  the  captains  of  thousands, 
and  of  the  ca])tains  of  hundreds, 
was  sixteen  thousand  seven  hun- 
dred and  fifty  shek-cls. 

53  (Aor  *the  men  of  vvar  had  taken 
spoil,  every  man  for  himself.) 

54  And  Md-!?cs  and  E-lC-a-zar  the 
Xiriest  took  the  gold  of  the  captains 
of  thousands  and  of  hundrods,  and 
brought  it  into  the  tabernacle  pi

CHAPTER  32. 

The  Reubenites  and  Gadites  sue  for  their  inheritance 
on  the  east  side  of  Jordan. 

OW  the  children  of  Reu-ben 
JLM  and  the  children  of  Gad  had 
a very  great  multitude  of  cattle ; 
and  when  they  saw  the  land  of 
®Ja-zer,  and  the  land  of  Gil-e-ad, 
that,  behold,  the  place  vjas  a place 
for  cattle ; 

2 The  children  of  Gad  and  the 
children  of  Reu-bgn  came  and  spake 
unto  Mo-ses,  and  to  E-le-a-zar  the 
priest,  and  unto  the  princes  of  the 
congregation,  saying, 

3 At-a-r5th,  and  Di-bOn,  and  Ja- 
zer,  and  ^Nim-rah,  and  Hesh-b5n, 
and  E-lAadeh,  and  •'^She-bam,  and 
Ne-bo,  and  ^Be-6n, 

4 Even  the  country  * which  the 
Lord  smote  before  the  congrega- 
tion of  Is-ra-el,  is  a land  for  cattle, 
and  thy  servants  have  cattle  : 

5 Wherefore,  said  they,  if  we  have 
found  grace  in  thy  sight,  let  this 
land  be  given  unto  thy  servants  for 
a possession,  and  bring  us  not  over 
Jor-dan. 

6 H And  Mo-s6s  said  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Gad  and  to  the  children  of 
Reu-ben.  Shall  your  brethren  go  to 
war,  and  shall  ye  sit  here  'i 

7 And  wherefore  Miscourage  ye 
the  heart  of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
from  going  over  into  the  land  which 
the  Lord  hath  given  them  1 

8 Thus  did  your  fathers,  "when  I 
sent  them  from  Ka-d6sh-bar-ne-a 
^to  see  the  land. 

9 For  ’’when  they  went  up  unto 
the  valley  of  Esh-c5l,  and  saw  the 
land,  they  discouraged  the  heart  of 
the  children  of  Is-ra-6l,  that  they 
should  not  go  into  the  land  which 
the  Lord  had  given  them. 

10  “And  the  Lord’s  anger  was 
kindled  the  same  time,  and  he 
sware,  saying, 

11  Surely  none  of  the  men  that 
came  up  out  of  E-gypt,  from 
twenty  years  old  and  upward, 
shah  see  the  land  which  I sware 
unto  A-bra-ham,  unto  I^aac,  and 
unto  Ja-c5b;  because  Hhey  have 
not  ^wholly  followed  me : 

12  Save  -Gaheb  the  son  of  J6-phun- 
n6h  the  Ken-ez-Ite,  and  Jdsh-u-a 
the  son  of  Nun:  *for  they  have 
wholly  followed  the  Lord. 

13  And  the  Lord’s  anger  was  kin- 
dled against  ls-ra-6l,  and  he  made 
them  wander  in  the  wilderness 
forty  years,  until  ®all  the  genera- 
tion, that  had  done  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  was  consumed.

14  And,  behold,  ye  ar^  risen  up 
in  your  fathers’  stead,  an  increase 
of  sinful  men,  to  augment  yet  the 
“fierce  anger  of  the  Lord  toward 
Is-ra-el.  _ 

15  For  if  ye  *turn  away  from  after 
him,  he  will  yet  again  leave  them 
in  the  wilderness  ; and  ye  shall  de- 
stroy all  this  people. 

16  H And  they  came  near  unto 
him,  and  said.  We  will  build  sheep- 
folds  here  for  our  cattle,  and  cities 
for  our  little  ones  : 

17  But  ‘^we  ourselves  will  go 
ready  armed  before  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el,  until  we  have  brought 
them  unto  their  place : and  our 
little  ones  shall  dwell  in  the  fenced 
cities  because  of  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land. 

18  *We  will  not  return  unto  our 
houses,  until  the  children  of  Is-ra- 
el  have  inherited  every  man  his  in- 
heritance. 

19  For  we  will  not  inherit  with 
them  on  yonder  side  Jor-dan,  or 
forward  ; * because  our  inheritance 
is  fallen  to  us  on  this  side  Jor-dan 
eastward. 

20  H And  ^Mo-ses  said  unto  them,.. 
If  ye  will  do  this  thing,  if  ye  will 
go  armed  before  the  Lord  to  war, 

21  And  will  go  all  of  you  armed 
over  Jor-dan  before  the  Lord,  until 
he  hath  driven  out  his  enemies  from 
before  him, 

22  And  ’“the  land  be  subdued  be- 
fore the  Lord  : then  afterward  “ ye 
shall  return,  and  be  guiltless  be- 
fore the  Lord,  and  before  Is-ra-el ; 
and  ®this  land  shall  be  your  posses- 
sion before  the  Lord. 

23  But  if  ye  will  not  do  so,  be- 
hold, ye  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord  : and  be  sure  * your  sin  will 
find  you  out. 

24  * Build  you  cities  for  your  little 
ones,  and  folds  for  your  sheep  ; and 
do  that  which  hath  proceeded  out 
of  your  mouth. 

25  And  the  children  of  Gad  and 
the  children  of  Reu-ben  spake  unto 
Mo-ses,  saying,  Thy  servants  will 
do  as  my  lord  commandeth. 

26  ^ Our  little  ones,  our  wives,  our 
flocks,  and  all  our  cattle,  shall  be 
there  in  the  cities  of  Gil-e-M : 

27  “But  thy  servants  will  pass 
over,  every  man  armed  for  war, 
before  the  Lord  to  battle,  as  my 
lord  saith. 

28  So  ® concerning  them  Mo-sgs 
commanded  E-le-a-zar  the  priest, 
and  J6sh-u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and 
the  chief  fathers  of  the  tribes  of 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el : 

29  And  Mo-ses  said  unto  them.  If 


The  jcmrneyings

of  the  Israelites, 


the  children  of  Gad  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Reu-ben  will  pass  with  you 
over  Jdr-dan,  every  man  armed  to 
battle,  before  the  Lord,  and  the 
land  shall  be  subdued  before  you ; 
then  ye  shall  give  them  the  land  ot 
Gll-6-ad  for  a possession : 

30  But  if  they  will  not  pass  over 

with  you  armed,  they  shall  have 
possessions  among  you  in  the  land 
of  -Ga-naan.  ^ ^ i 

31  And  the  children  of  Gad  and 
the  children  of  Reu-ben  answered, 
saying,  As  the  Lord  hath  said  unto 
thy  servants,  so  will  we  do. 

32  We  will  pass  over  armed  petore 

the  Lord  into  the  land  of  Ga-naan, 
that  the  possession  of  our  inherit- 
ance on  this  side  Jdr-dan  may  be 
our’s.  - 

33  And  fl'Mo-ses  gave  unto  them, 
even  to  the  children  of  Gad,  and  to 
the  children  of  Reu-b6n,  and  unto 
half  the  tribe  of  Ma-nas-seh  the 
son  of  Jo-seph,  ^the  kingdom  of 
Si-hOn  king  of  the  Am-6r-ites,  and 
the  kingdom  of  Og  king  of  Ba-shan, 
the  land,  with  the  cities  thereof  in 
the  coasts,  even  the  cities  of  the 
country  round  about. 

341]  And  the  children  of  Gad  built 
•^Di-b6n,  and  At-a-r5th,  and  ”Ar- 
0-er,  ^ 

35’ And  At-r5th,  Sho-phan,  and 
®Ja-a-zer,  and  J5g-b6-hah, 

36  And  ^'Bgth-nim-rah,  and  Beth- 
ha-ran,  ’’fenced  cities : and  folds  for 
sheep. 

37  And  the  children  of  Reu-b6n 
‘built  H6sh-b5n,  and  E-le-a-leh,  and 
Kir-ja-thaum, 

38  And  *Ne-b6,  and  “Ba-al-me-5n. 
(* their  names  being  changed,)  and 
Shib-mah : and  ^ gave  other  names 
unto  the  cities  which  they  builded. 

39  And  the  children  of  *Ma^hir 
the  son  of  Ma-nas-seh  went  to  Gib 
6-ad,  and  took  it,  and  dispossessed 
the  Am-6r-ite  which  was  in  it. 

40  And  Mo-s6s  “gave  Gil-e-ad  unto 
Ma-chir  the  son  of  Ma-nas-s6h  ; and 
he  dwelt  therein. 

41  And  Ja-ir  the  son  of  Ma-nas-sSh 
went  and  took  the  small  towns  there- 
of, and  called  them  ‘*HaW5th-ja-ir.^ 

42  And  No-bah  went  and  took  Ke- 
nath,  and  the  villages  thereof,  and 
called  it  No-bah,  after  his  own  name.

are  passed  over  Jor-dan  into  the 
land  of  -Ga-naan ; 

52  ^Then  ye  shall  drive  out  all  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land  from  before 
you,  and  destroy  all  their  pictures, 
and  destroy  all  their  molten  images, 
and  quite  pluck  down  all  their  high 
places : 

53  And  ye  shall  dispossess  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land,  and  dwell 
therein : for  I have  given  you  the 
land  to  possess  it. 

54  Ana  ^ye  shall  divide  the  land 
by  lot  for  an  inheritance  among 
your  families : and  to  the  more  ye 
shall  ‘-^give  the  more  inheritance, 
and  to  the  fewer  ye  shall  ^give 
the  less  inheritance : every  man’s 
inheritance  shall  be  in  the  place 
where  his  lot  falleth ; according  to 
the  tribes  of  your  fathers  ye  shall 
inherit. 

55  But  if  ye  will  not  drive  out 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land  from 
before  you ; then  it  shall  come  tc;

of  them  shall  be  pricks  in  your

5 And  Mo-ses  commanded  the  chil- 

dren of  Is-ra-el  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  saying.  The  tribe 
of  the  sons  of  J o-seph  '’hath  said  well. 

6 This  is  the  thing  which  the 

Lord  doth  command  concerning 
the  daughters  of  ZAlo-phe-had,  say- 
ing, Let  them  ^ marry  to  whom  they 
think  best : ®only  to  the  family  of 
the  tribe  of  their  father  shall  they 
marry.  , . , . «. 

7 So  shall  not  the  inheritance  of 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el  remove  from 
tribe  to  tribe  : for  every  one  of  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el  shall  ^keep^  him- 
self to  the  inheritance  of  the  tribe 
of  his  fathers. 

8 And  *every  daughter,  that  pos- 
sesseth  an  inheritance  in  any  tribe 
of  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l,  shall  be 
wife  unto  one  of  the  family  of  the 
tribe  of  her  father,  that  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el  may  enjoy  every  man  the 
inheritance  of  his  fathers. 

9 Neither  shall  the  inheritance  re- 
move from  one  tribe  to  another 
tribe ; but  every  one  of  the  tribes 
of  the  children  of  I§-ra-el  shall  keep 
himself  to  his  own  inheritance. 

10  Even  as  the  Lord  commanded 

Mo-ses,  so  did  the  daughters  of  Ze- 
lo-phe-had  : , , T TT  / 

1 1 "^For  Mahdah,  Tir-zah,  and  H6g- 
lah,  and  Mil-cah,  and  No-ah,  the 
daughters  of  ZAlo-phg-had,  were 
married  unto  their  father’s  brothers 

12  And  they  were  married  into 
the  families  of  the  sons  of  Ma-nas- 
seh  the  son  of  Jo-seph,  and  tlimr 
inheritance  remained  in  the  tribe 
of  the  family  of  their  father. 

13  These  are  the  commandments 
and  the  judgments,  which  the  Lpp 
commanded  by  the  hand  of  Mo-s6§ 
unto  the  children  of  l§-ra-gl  ^in  the 
plains  of  Mo-ab  by  Jor-dan  near

3 And  it  came  to  pass  ‘’in  the  for-

on  the  first  day  of  the  montli,  that 
Mo-se?  spake  unto  the  children  ot 


Moses  rehearseth  the 


DEUTERONOMY,  1. 


history  of  the  Israelites. 


Is-ra-el,  according  unto  all  that  the 
Lord  had  given  him  in  command- 
ment unto  them ; 

4 After  he  had  slain  Si-h5n  the 
king  of  the  Am-6r-ites,  which  dwelt 
in_  Hesh-bOn,  and  Og  the  king  of 
Ba-shan,  which  dwelt  at  As-ta-r5th 
‘^in  EdYeu : 

5 On  this  side  Jdr-dan,  in  the  land 
of  Mo-ab,  began  Mo-ses  to  declare 
this  law,  saying, 

6 The  Lord  our  God  spake  unto  us 
s'in  Ho'reb,  saying.  Ye  have  dwelt 
long  ''  enough  in  this  mount : 

7 Turn  you,  and  take  your  journey, 
and  go  to  the  mount  of  the  Am-or- 
jtes,  and  unto  ^all  the  'places  nigh 
thereunto,  in  the  plain,  in  the  hills, 
and  in  the  vale,  and  in  the  south, 
and  by  the  sea  side,  to  the  land  of 
the  -Ga-naan-ites,  and  unto  Leb-a- 
n6n,  unto  the  great  river,  the  river 
Eu-phra-tes. 

^8  Behold,  I have  ^set  the  land  be- 
fore you  ; go  in  and  possess  the 
land  which  the  Lord  sware  unto 
your  fathers,  *A-bra-ham,  I-saae, 
and  Ja-eDb,  to  give  unto  them  and 
to  their  seed  after  them. 

9 And  U spake  unto  you  at  that 
time,  saying,  I am  not  ahle  to  bear 
you  myself  alone : 

10  The  Lord  your  God  hath  mul- 
tiplied you,  and,  behold,  "ye  are 
this  day  as  the  stars  of  heaven  for 
multitude. 

11  (^The  Lord  God  of  your  fa- 
thers make  you  a thousand  times 
so  many  more  as  ye  are,  and  bless 
you,  ^as  he  hath  promised  you  !) 

12  *How  can  I myself  alone  bear 
your  cumbrance,  and  your  burden, 
and  your  strife  1 

13  “Take^  you  wise  men,  and 
understanding,  and  known  among 
your  tribes,  and  I will  make  them 
rulers  over  you. 

14  And  ye  answered  me,  and  said. 
The  thing  which  thou  hast  spoken 
is  good  for  us  to  do. 

15  So  I took  the  chief  of  your 
tribes,  wise  men,  and  known,  ^and 
^rnade  them  heads  over  you,  cap- 
tains over  thousands,  and  captains 
over  hundreds,  and  captains  over 
fifties,  and  captains  oyer  tens,  and 
officers  among  your  tribes. 

16  And  I charged  your  judges  at 
that  time,  saying.  Hear  the  causes 
between  your  brethren,  and  ^judge 
righteously  between  every  man  and 
his  ‘^brother,  and  the  stranger  that 
is  with  him. 

17  "Ye  shall  not  ^respect  persons 
in  judgment ; hut  ye  shall  hear  the 
small  as  well  as  the  great ; ye  shall 
not  be  afraid  of  the  face  of  man ; '

20  And  I said  unto  you.  Ye  are 
come  unto  the  mountain  of  the 
Am-or-ites,  which  the  Lord  our  God 
doth  give  unto  us. 

21  Behold,  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
set  the  land  before  thee  : go  up  and 
possess  it,  as  the  Lord  God  of  thy 
fathers  hath  said  unto  thee ; Tear 
not,  neither  be  discouraged. 

22  U And  ye  came  near  unto  me 
every  one  of  you,  and  said.  We  will 
send  men  before  us,  and  they  shall 
search  us  out  the  land,  and  bring 
us  word  again  by  what  way  we  must 
go  up,  and  into  what  cities  we  shall 
come. 

23  And  the  saying  pleased  me  well: 
and  took  twelve  men  of  you,  one 
of  a tribe ; 

24  And  ”they  turned  and  went  up 
into  the  mountain,  and  came  unto 
the  valley  of  Esh-eCl,  and  searched 
it  out. 

25  And  they  took  of  the  fruit  of 
the  land  in  their  hands,  and  brought 
it  down  unto  us,  and  brought  us 
word  again,  and  said,  ^ It  is  a good 
land  which  the  Lord  our  God  doth 
give  us. 

26  ‘Notwithstanding  ye  would  not 
go  up,  but  rebelled  against  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  your  God : 

27  And  ye  murmured  in  your 
tents,  and  said.  Because  the  Lord 
^hated  us,  he  hath  brought  us  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  to  deliver 
us  into  the  hand  of  the  Am-6r-ites, 
to  destroy  us. 

28  Whither  shall  we  go  upl  our 
brethren  have  ® discouraged  our 
heart,  saying,  ^The  people  is  greater 
and  taller  than  we;  the  cities  are 
great  and  walled  up  to  heaven ; and 
moreover  we  have  seen  the  sons  of 
the  “An-a-kims  there. 

29  Then  I said  unto  you.  Dread 
not,  neither  be  afraid  of  them. 

30  "The  Lord  your  God  which 
goeth  before  you,  he  shall  fight  for 
you,  according  to  all  that  he  did  for 
you  in  E-gypt  before  your  eyes  ; 

31  And  in  the  wilderness,  where 
thou  hast  seen  how  that  the  Lord 
thy  God  -^bare  thee,  as  a man  doth

bear  his  son,  in  all  the  way  that  ye 
wen^  until  ye  came  into  this  place. 

32  Yet  in  this  thing  “ye  did  not 
believe  the  Lord  your  God, 

33  ®Who  went  in  the  way  before 
you,  ‘'to  search  you  out  a place  to 
pitch  your  tents  m,  in  fire  by  night, 
to  shew  you  by  what  way  ye  should 
go,  and  in  a cloud  by  day. 

34  And  the  Lord  heard  the  voice 
of  your  words,  and  was  wroth,  ®and 
sware,  saying, 

35  •'’Surely  there  shall  not  one  of 
these  men  of  this  evil  generation 
see  that  good  land,  which  I sware 
to  give  unto  your  fathers, 

36  '"SaveUadebthesonof  Jg-phun- 
neh ; he  shall  see  it,  and  to  him 
will  I give  the  land  that  he  hath 
trodden  upon,  and  to  his  children, 
because  '“'he  hath  ^wholly  followed 
the  Lord. 

37  ^Also  the  Lord  was  angry  with 
me  for  your  sakes,  saying.  Thou 
also  shalt  not  go  in  thither. 

38  '^But  J5sh-u-a  the  son  of  Nun, 
” which  standeth  before  thee,  he 
shall  go  in  thither : ^encourage  him : 
for  he  shall  cause  Is-ra-el  to  in- 
herit it. 

39  ^ Moreover  your  little  ones, 
which  ’■ye  said  should  be  a prey, 
and  your  children,  which  in  that 
day  *had  no  knowledge  between 
good  and  evil,  they  shall  go  ^ in 
thither,  and  unto  them  will  I give 
it.  and  they  shall  possess  it. 

40  “But  as  for  you,  turn  you,  and 
take  your  Journey  into  the  wilder- 
ness by  the  way  of  the  Red  sea. 

4 1 Then  ye  answered  and  said  unto 
me,  ^We  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord,  we  will  go  up  and  fight,  ac- 
cording to  all  that  the  Lord  our 
God  commanded  us.  And  when 
ye  had  girded  on  every  man  his 
weapons  of  war,  ye  were  ready  to 
go  up  into  the  hill. 

42  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Say  unto  them,  “Go  not  up,  neither 
fight ; for  1 am  not  among  you  ; lest 
ye  be  smitten  before  your  enemies. 

43  So  I spake  unto  you  ; and  ye 
would  not  hear,  but  rebelled  against 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord,  and 
^wenf^  presumptuously  up  into  the 
hill. 

44  And  the  Am-6r-ites,  which 
dwelt  in  that  mountain,  came  out 
against  you,  and  chased  you,  f as 
bees  do,  and  destroyed  you  in  Sebr, 
even  unto  Hor-mah. 

45  And  ye  returned  and  wept  be- 
fore the  Lord  ; but  the  Lord  would 
not  hearken  to  your  voice,  nor  give 
ear  unto  you.

CHAPTER  2. 

1 The  story  is  continued,  that  they  were  not  to  meddle 
with  the  Edomites,  9 nor  with  the  Moabites,  19  nor  with 
the  Ammonites.  33  Sihon  is  overcotne. 

Then  we  turned,  and  took  our 
journey  into  the  wilderness  by 
the  way  of  the  Red  sea,  ‘*as  the 
Lord  spake  unto  me : and  we  com- 
passed mount  Se-ir  many  days. 

2  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  me, 
saying, 

3  Ye  have  compassed  this  moun- 
tain ^long  enough  ; turn  you  north- 
ward. 

4  And  command  ^hou  the  people, 
saying,  *Ye  are  to  pass  through  the 
coast  of  your  brethren  the  children 
of  E-sau,  which  dwell  in  Sebr ; and 
they  shall  be  afraid  of  you  ; take  ye 
good  heed  unto  yourselves  there- 
fore ; 

5  Meddle  not  with  them;  for  ] 
will  not  give  you  of  their  land,  ^no, 
not  so  much  as  a foot  breadth ; 
‘'because  I have  given  mount  Se-ir 
unto  E-sau  for  a possession. 

6  Ye  shall  buy  meat  of  them  for 
money,  that  ye  may  eat;  and  ye 
shall  also  buy  water  of  them  for 
money,  that  ye  may  drink. 

7  For  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
blessed  thee  in  all  the  works  of 
thy  hand ; he  knoweth  thy  walk- 
ing through  this  great  wilderness : 
Hhese  forty  years  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  been  with  thee ; thou 
hast  lacked  nothing. 

8  '‘'And  when  we  passed  by  from 
our  brethren  the  children  of  E-sau, 
which  dwelt  in  Se-ir,  through  the 
way  of  the  plain  from  ^Edath,  and 
from  E-zi-On-ga-ber,  we  turned  and 
passed  by  the  way  of  the  wilder- 
ness of  Mo-ab. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
^Distress  not  the  Mo^b-ites,  neither 
contend  with  them  in  battle : for 
I will  not  give  thee  of  their  land 
for  a possession ; because  I have 
given  ^Ar  unto  ‘'the  children  of  Lot 
for  a possession. 

10  ‘^The  E-mims  dwelt  therein  in 
times  past,  a people  great,  and 
many,  and  tall,  as  •'the  An-a-kim.s : 

11  Which  also  were  accounted 
giants,  as  the  An-a-kim.s ; but  the 
Mo-ab-Ites  call  them  Ednims. 

12  '‘The  HoAims  also  dwelt  in 
Sedr  beforetime;  but  the  children 
of  E-sau  ‘^succeeded  them,  when 
they  had  destroyed  them  from  be- 
fore them,  and  dwelt  in  their  °stead ; 
as  I?-ra-6l  did  unto  the  land  of  hi.s 
possession,  which  the  Lord  gave 
unto  them.

13  Now  rise  up,  said  /,  and  get 
you  over  ^tlie  ^ brook  Ze-red.  And 
we  went  over  the  brook  Ze-red. 

14  And  the  space  in  which  we 
came  ‘'from  Ka-desh-bar-ne-a,  until 
we  were  come  over  the  brook  Ze- 
red,  was  thirty  and  eight  years; 

**  until  all  the  generation  of  the  men 
of  war  were  wasted  out  from  among 
the  host,  -^as  the  Lord  sware  unto 
them. 

15  For  indeed  the  ^hand  of  the 
Lord  was  against  them,  to  destroy 
them  from  among  the  host,  until 
they  were  consumed. 

16  H So  it  came  to  pass,  when  all 
the  men  of  war^were  consumed  and 
dead  from  among  the  people, 

17  That  the  Lord  spake  unto  me, 
saying, 

18  Thou  art  to  pass  over  through 
Ar,  the  coast  of  Mo-ab,  this  day : 

19  And^  when  thou  comest  nigh 
over  against  the  children  of  Am- 
mOn,  distress  them  not,  nor  meddle 
with  them  : for  I will  not  give  thee 
of  the  land  of  the  children  of  Am- 
mOn  any  possession ; because  I 
have  given  it  unto  ‘'the  children 
of  Lot  for  a possession. 

20  (That  also  was  accounted  a 
land  of  giants ; giants  dwelt  therein 
in  old  time ; and  the  Am-mOn-ites 
call  them  ’'Zam-zum-mims ; 

21  * A people  great,  and  many,  and 
tall,  as  the  An-a-kims ; but  the  Lord 
destroyed  them  before  them ; and 
they  succeeded  them,  and  dwelt  in 
their  stead : 

22  As  he  did  to  the  children  of 
E-sau,  “which  dwelt  in  Sebr,  when 
he  "destroyed  ‘‘'the  Ho-rims  from 
before  them;  and  they  succeeded 
them,  and  dwelt  in  their  stead  even 
unto  this  day : _ 

23  And  "the  AMms  which  dwelt 
in  Ha-ze-rim,  even  unto  ^Az-zah,  ‘'the 
•Gaph-tO-rims,  which  came  forth  out 
of  Gajih-tor,’ destroyed  them,  and 
dwelt  in  their  stead.) 

24  H Rise  ye  up,  take  your  30ur- 
ney,  and  ®pass  over  the  river  Ar- 
nOn:  behold,  I have  given  into 
thine  hand  Si-hOn  the  Am-6r-ite, 
king  of  Hesh-bOn,  and  his  land : 
® begin  to  possess  it,  and  contend 
with  bim  in  battle. 

25  S' This  day  will  I begin  to  put  the 
dread  of  thee  and  the  fear  of  thee 
upon  the  nations  that  are  under  the 
wnole  beaven,  who  shall  hear  report 
of  tbee,  and  shall  tremble,  and  be 
in  anguish  because  of  thee. 

26  11  And  I sent  messengers  out  of 
the  wilderness  of  K6d-6-m5th  unto 
Si-h5n  king  of  H6sh-b5n  *with 
words  of  peace,  saying,

27  “Let  me  pass  through  thy  land : 

I will  go  along  by  the  nigh  way,  I 
will  neither  turn  unto  the  right 
hand  nor  to  the  left. 

28  Thou  shalt  sell  me  meat  for 
money,  that  I may  eat;  and  give 
we  water  for  money,  that  I mav 
drink : ®only  I will  pass  through 
on  my  feet; 

29  As  the  children  of  E-sau  which 
dwell  in  Se-ir,  and  the  Mo-ab-ites 
which  dwell  in  Ar,  did  unto  me ;) 
until  I shall  pass  over  J6r-dan  into 
the  land  which  the  Lord  our  God 
giveth  us. 

30  "But  Si-hCn  king  of  Hesh-b6n 
would  not  let  us  pass  by  him : for 
*the  Lord  thy  God  ^hardened  his 
spirit,  and  made  bis  heart  obstinate, 
that  be  might  deliver  him  into  thy 
band,  as  ajpjpeareth  this  day. 

31  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
Behold,  I have  begun  to  ""give  Si- 
hOn  and  his  land  before  thee : be- 
gin to  possess,  that  thou  mayest 
inherit  his  land. 

32  "Then  Si-h5n  came  out  against 
us,  he  and  all  his  people,  to  fight 
at  Ja-haz. 

33  And  ^the  Lord  our  God  de- 
livered bim  before  us;  and  «we 
smote  him,  and  his  sons,  and  all 
bis  people. 

34  And  we  took  all  his  cities  at 
that  time,  and  * utterly  destroyed 
^the  men,  and  the  women,  and  the 
little  ones,  of  every  city,  we  left 
none  to  remain: 

35  Only  the  cattle  we  took  for  a 
prey  unto  ourselves,  and  the  spoil 
of  the  cities  which  we  took. 

36  ^From  Ar-O-er,  which  is  by  the 
brink  of  the  river  of  Ar-n5n,  and 
from  the  city  that  is  by  the  river, 
even  unto  Gil-e-ad,  there  was  not 
one  city  too  strong  for  us : “ the 
Lord  our  God  delivered  all  unto  us : 

37  Only  unto  the  land  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am-m6n  thou  earnest  not, 
nor  unto  any  place  of  ^ the  river 
"^Jab-b^k,  nor  unto  the  cities  in  the

tbe  Lord  our  God  forbad  us. 

CHAPTER  s' 

1 The  story  of  the  ccmquest  of  Og  king  of  Bashan.  11  The 
size  of  his  bed.  23  Moses'  prayer  to  enter  into  the  land. 
26  Be  is  permitted  to  see  it. 

Then  we  turned,  and  went  up 
the  way  to  Ba-shan:  and  ^Og 
the  king  of  Ba-shan  came  out  against 
us,  he  and  all  his  people,  to  battle 
"at  Ed-r6-i. 

2 And  the  Lord  said  unt9  me,  r ear 
him  not:  for  I will  deliver  him, 
and  all  his  people,  and  his  land, 
into  thy  hand ; and  thou  shalt  do 
unto  him  as  thou  didst  unto  ^Si-hOn 


The  conquest  of  Og.  DEUTERONOMY,  8.  Moses’  prayer  is  rejected. 


king  of  the  Am-dr-Ites,  which  dwelt 
at  H6sh-bhn. 

3 So  the  Lord  our  God  delivered 
into  our  hands  Og  also,  the  king  of 
Ba-shan,  and  all  his  people:  *and 
we  smote  him  until  none  was  left 
to  him  remaining. 

4 And  we  took  all  his  cities  at  that 
time,  there  was  not  a city  which 
we  took  not  from  them,  threescore 
cities.  ®all  the  region  of  Ar%5b,  the 
kingdom  of  Og  in  Ba-shan. 

5 All  these  cities  were  fenced  with 
high  walls,  gates,  and  bars ; beside 
unwalled  towns  a great  many. 

6 And  we  utterly  destroyed  them, 
as  we  did  unto  Si-hOn  king  ^ of  Hesh- 
bOn,  utterly  destroying  the  men, 
women,  and  children,  of  every  city. 

7 But  all  the  cattle,  and  the  spoil 
of  the  cities,  we  took  for  a prey  to 
ourselves. 

8 And  we  took  at  that  time  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  two  kings  of  the 
Am-6r-ites  the  land  that  was  on  this 
side  Jdr-dan,  from  the  river  of  Ar- 
n6n  unto  mount  Her-mOn ; 

9 {Which  *Her-m5n  the  Si-do- 
ni-ans  call  Sir-i-5n ; and  the  Am- 
6r-ites  call  it  ^She-nir;) 

10  ”"A11  the  cities  of  the  plain,  and 
all  Gil-6-ad,  and  ” all  Ba-shan,  unto 
Sal-chah  and  Ed-re-i^  cities  of  the 
kingdom  of  Og  in  Ba-shan. 

11  "For  only  Og  king  of  Ba-shan 
remained  of  the  remnant  of  ^giants  • 
behold,  his  bedstead  was  a bedstead 
of  iron ; is  it  not  in  * Rab-bath  of 
the  children  of  Am-mOnl  nine 
cubits  was  the  length  thereof,  and 
four  culDits  the  breadth  of  it,  after 
the  cubit  of  a man. 

12  And  this  land,  which  we  pos- 
sessed at  that  time,  *from  Ar-o-er, 
which  is  by  the  river  Ar-nOn,  amd 
half  mount  Gil-6-ad,  and  ^the  cities 
thereof,  gave  I unto  the  Reii-ben-ites 
and  to  the  Gad-ites.  _ 

1 3 “And  the  rest  of  Gil-6-ad,  and  all 
Ba-shan,  being  the  kingdom  of  Og, 
gave  I unto  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas- 
seh;  all  the  region  of  Ar%6b,  with 
all  Ba-shan,  which  was  called  the 
land  of  giants.  • 

14  ‘'Ja-ir  the  son  of  Ma-nas-s6h  took 
all  the  country  of  Ar-g5b  "unto  the 
coasts  of  Gesh-u-ri  and  Ma-ach-a- 
thi ; and  -^called  them  after  his  own 
name,  Ba-shan-ha-vOth-ja-ir,  unto 
this  day. 

15  *And  I gave  Gll-6-ad  unto  Ma- 
chlr. 

16  And  unto  the  Reu-b6n-ites 
‘and  unto  the  Gad-ites  I gave  from 
Gll-g-ad  even  unto  the  river  Ar-nOn 
half  the  valley,  and  the  border  even 
Unto  the  river  Jab^bok,  ^ which  is

and  the  coast  thereof,  from  “Ghin- 
n6-reth  "even  unto  the  sea  of  the 
plain,  '^even  the  salt  sea,  ^ under  Ash- 
dOth-pis%ah  eastward. 

18  U And  I commanded  you  at 
that  time,  saying.  The  Lord  your 
God  hath  given  you  this  land  to 

Eossess  it : •''ye  shall  pass  over  armed 
efore  your  brethren  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el,  all  that  are  ‘“^meet  for 
the  war. 

19  But  your  wives,  and  your  little 
ones,  and  your  cattle,  {for  I know 
that  ye  have  much  cattle,)  shall 
abide  in  your  cities  which  I have 
given  you ; 

20  Until  the  Lord  have  given  rest 
unto  your  brethren,  as  well  as  unto 
you,  and  until  they  also  possess  the 
land  which  the  Lord  your  God  hath 
given  them  beyond  Jor-dan:  and 
then  shall  ye  '‘return  every  man 
unto  his  possession,  which  I have 
given  you. 

21  51  And  commanded  J5sh-u-a 
at  that  time,  saying.  Thine  eyes 
have  seen  all  that  the  Lord  your 
God  hath  done  unto  these  two 
kings : so  .shall  the  Lord  do  unto  all 
the  kingdoms  whither  thou  passest. 
22  Ye  shall  not  fear  them : for 
^the  Lord  your  God  he  shall  fight 
for  you. 

23  And  ’’I  besought  the  Lord  at 
that  time,  saying, 

24  O Lord  God,  thou  hast  begun 
to  shew  thy  servant  ^thy  greatness, 
and  thy  mighty  hand : for  “what 
God  is  there  in  heaven  or  in  earth, 
that  can  do  according  to  thy  works, 
and  according  to  thy  might  % 

25  I pray  thee,  let  me  go  over,  and 
see  ^the  good  land  that  is  beyond 
Jor-dan,  that  goodly  mountain,  and 
Leb-a-nOn. 

26  But  the  Lord  '’was  wroth  with 
me  for  your  .sakes,  and  would  not 
hear  me : and  the  Lord  .said  unto 
me.  Let  it  suffice  thee;  speak  no 
more  unto  me  of  this  matter. 

27  "Get  thee  up  into  the  top  of 
^Pis%ah,  and  lift  up  thine  eyes 
we.stward,  and  northward,  and 
southward,  and  eastward,  and  be- 
hold it  with  thine  eyes : for  thou 
shalt  not  go  over  this  J6ihlan. 

28  But  ^'charge  JOsh-u-a,  and  en- 
courage him,  and  strengthen  him: 
for  he  shall  go  over  before  this  peo- 
ple, and  he  shall  cau.se  them  to  in- 
herit the  land  which  thou  shalt 
see. 

29  So  we  abode  in  ^^the  valley  over 
against  B6th-pe-6r.

Obedience  inculcated. 


DEUTERONOMY,  4. 


Idolatry  denounced. 


CHAPTER  4. 


1451. 


1 An  exhortation  to  obedience.  14  A dissuasive  against 
idolatry.  41  Moses  appointeth  the  three  cities  of  refuge 
on  that  side  Jordan. 

lYT  OW  therefore  hearken,  O Is-ra- 
1.1  el,  unto  ‘'the  statutes  and  un- 
to the  judgments,  which  I teach 
you,  for  to  do  them,  that  ye  may 
live,  and  go  in  and  possess  the 
land  which  the  Lord  God  of  your 


fathers  giveth  you. 

2 'Ye  shall  not  add  unto  the  word 
which  I command  you,  neither 
shall  ye  diminish  ought  from  it, 
that  ye  may  keep  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord  your  God  which 
I command  you. 

3 Your  eyes  have  seen  _what_  the 
Lord  did  because  of  ’^Ba-al-pe-or: 
for  all  the  men  that  followed  Ba-al- 
pe-or,  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  de- 
stroyed them  from  among  you. 

4 But  ye  that  did  cleave  unto  the 
Lord  your  God  are  alive  every  one 
of  you  this  day. 

5 Behold,  1 have  taught  you  stat- 
utes and  judgments,  even  as  the 
Lord  my  God  commanded  me,  that 
ye  should  do  so  in  the  land  whither 
ye  go  to  possess  it. 

6 Keep  therefore  and  do  them ; 
for  this  is  ^your  wisdoin  and  your 
understanding  in  the  sight  of  the 
nations,  which  shall  hear  all  these 
statutes,  and  say,  Surelv  this  great 
nation  is  a wise  and  understanding 


people. 

7 For  ^‘what  nation  is  there  so 
great,  who  fiath  ^God  so  nigh  unto 
them,  as  the  Lord  our  God  is  in 
all  things  that  we  call  upon  him 


for  ? 

8 And  what  nation  is  there  so  great, 
that  hath  statutes  and  judgrnents 
so  righteous  as  all  this  law,  which  I 
set  before  you  this  day '? 

9 Only  take  heed  to  thyself,  and 
*keep  thy  soul  diligently,  “lest 
thou  forget  the  things  which  thine 
eyes  have  seen,  and  lest  they  de- 
part from  thy  heart  all  the  days 
of  thy  life;  but  ‘'teach  them  thy 
sons,  and  thy  sons’  sons ; 

10  Specially  -^the  day  that  thou 
stoodest  before  the  Lord  thy  God 
in  Ho-reb,  when  the  Lord  said  unto 
me.  Gather  me  the  people  together, 
ana  I will  make  them  hear  my 
words,  that  they  may  learn  to  fear 
me  all  the  days  that  they  shall  live 
upon  the  earth,  and  that  they  may 
teach  their  children. 

11  And  ye  came  near  and  stood 
under  the  mountain ; and  the 
"‘mountain  burned  with  fire  unto 
the  ^ midst  of  heaven,  with  dark- 
ness, clouds,  and  thick  darkness.

12  “And  the  Lord  spake  unto  you 

out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire : ''  ye 
heard  the  voice  of  the  words,  but 
saw  no  similitude ; “only^  ye  heard 
a voice. 

13  “And  he  declared  unto  you  his 
covenant,  which  he  commanded 
you  to  perform,  even  •''ten  com- 
mandments ; and  ^ he  wrote  them 
upon  two  tables  of  stone. 

14  ^ And  '‘the  Lord  commanded 
me  at  that  time  to  teach  you 
statutes  and  judgments,  that  ye 
might  do  them  in  the  land  whither 
ye  go  over  to  possess  it. 

15  *Take  ye  therefore  good  heed 
unto  yourselves;  for  ye  saw  no 
manner  of  'similitude  on  the  day 
that  the  Lord  spake  unto  you  in 
Ho-reb  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire : 

16  Lest  ye  "corrupt  yourselves, 
and  “make  you  a graven  image, 
the  similitude  of  any  figure,  -^the 
likeness  of  male  or  female, 

17  The  likeness  of  any  beast  that 
is  on  the  earth,  the  likeness  of  any 
winged  fowl  that  flieth  in  the  air, 

18  The  likeness  of  any  thing  that 
creepeth  on  the  ground,  the  like- 
ness of  any  fish  that  is  in  the  waters 
beneath  the  earth ; 

19  And  lest  thou  "lift  up  thine 
eyes  unto  heaven,  and  when  thou 
seest  the  sun,  and  the  moon,  and 
the  stars,  even  *all  the  host  of  hea- 
ven, shouldest  be  driven  to  'wor- 
ship them,  and  serve  them,  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  ^divided 
unto  all  nations  under  the  whole 
heaven. 

20  But  the  Lord  hath  taken  you, 
and  drought  you  forth  out  of  the 
iron  furnace,  even  out  of  E-gypt, 
Ho  be  unto  him  a people  of  in- 
heritance, as  ye  are  this  day. 

21  Furthermore  “the  Lord  was 
angry  with  me  for  your  sakes,  and 
sware  that  I should  not  go  over 
J6r-dan,  and  that  I should  not  go 
in  unto  that  good  land,  which  the 
Lord^  thy  God  giveth  thee  for  an 
inheritance: 

22  But  I must  die  in  this  land, 
must  not  go  over  Jor-dan:  but 

ye  shall  go  over,  and  possess  '‘that 
good  land. 

23  Take  heed  unto  yourselves, 
' lest  ye  forget  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  which  he  made 
with  you,  *and  make  you  a graven 
image,,  or  the  likeness  of  any  thing, 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  for- 


Iden  thee.  . 

1 For  'the  Lord  thy  God  is ^

to  obedience^ 


ye  shall  have  remained  long  in  the 
land,  and  * shall  corrupt  yourselves, 
and  make  a graven  image,  or  the 
likeness  of  any  thing,  and  ®shall 
do  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  to  provoke  him  to  anger : 

26  ® I call  heaven  and  earth  to  wit- 
ness against  you  this  day,  that  ye 
shall  soon  utterly  perish  from  off 
the  land  whereunto  ye  go  over 
Jdr-dan  to  possess  it ; ye  shall  not 
prolong  your  days  upon  it,  but  shall 
utterly  be  destroyed. 

27  And  the  Lord  ^'shall  scatter 
you  among  the  nations,  and  ye 
shall  be  left  few  in  number  among 
the  heathen,  whither  the  Lord 
shall  lead  you. 

28  And  * there  ye  shall  serve  gods, 
the  work  of  men’s  hands,  wood 
and  stone,  ^ which  neither  see,  nor 
hear,  nor  eat,  nor  smell. 

29  ”But  if  from  thence  thou  shalt 
seek  the  Lord  thy  God,  thou  shalt 
find  him,  if  thou  seek  him  with 
all  thy  heart  and  with  all  thy  soul. 

30  When  thou  art  in  tribulation, 
and  all  these  things  ^are  come  u^- 
on  thee,  ^even  in  the  latter  days,  if 
thou  ''turn  to  the  Lord  thy  God,  and 
shalt  be  obedient  unto  his  voice ; 

31  (For  the  Lord  thy  God  is  *a 
merciful  God ;)  he  will  not  forsake 
thee,  neither  destroy  thee,  nor  for- 
get the  covenant  of  thy  fathers 
which  he  sware  unto  them. 

32  For  ^ask  now  of  the  days  that 
are  past,  which  were  before  thee, 
since  the  day  that  God  created  man 
upon  the  earth,  and  ask  “from  the 
one  side  of  heaven  unto  the  other, 
whether  there  hath  been  any  such 
thing  as  this  great  thing  is,  or  hath 
been  heard  like  it  h 

33  ''Did  ever  people  hear  the  voice 
of  God  speaking  out  of  the  midst  of 
the  fire,  as  thou  hast  heard,  and  live'? 

34  Or  hath  God  assayed  to  go  and 
take  him  a nation  from  the  midst 
of  another  nation,  “by  temptations, 

* by  signs,  and  by  wonders,  and  by 
war,  and  ‘'by  a mighty  hand,  and 
‘’by  a stretched  out  arm,  -^and  by

An  exhortation 


DEUTEEONOMY,  6. 


to  obedience. 


30  Go  say  to  them,  Get  you  into 
your  tents  again. 

31  But  as  for  thee,  stand  thou 
here  by  me,  ® and  I will  speak  unto 
thee  all  the  commandments,  and 
the  statutes,  and  the  judgments, 
which  thou  shalt  teach  them,  that 
they  may  do  them  in  the  land 
which  I give  them  to  possess  it. 

32  Ye  shall  observe  to  do  there- 
fore as  the  Lord  your  God  hath 
commanded  you : ye  shall  not 
turn  aside  to  the  right  hand  or  to 
the  left. 

33  Ye  shall  walk  in  ®all  the  ways 
which  the  Lord  your  God  hath 
commanded  you,  that  ye  may  live, 
■''and  that  it  may  be  well  with  you, 
and  that  ye  may  prolong  your  days 
in  the  land  which  ye  shall  possess. 

CHAPTER  6. 

1 The  end  of  the  law  is  obedience.  3 An  exhortation 
thereto. 

I^OW  these  are  Hhe  command- 
JLl  ments,  the  statutes,  and  the 
judgments,  which  the  Lord  your 
God  commanded  to  teach  you,  that 
ye  might  do  them  in  the  landf  whi- 
ther ye  ^ go  to  possess  it : 

2 ^’That  thou  mightest  fear  the 
Lord  thy  Godj  to  keep  all  his 
statutes  and  his  commandments, 
which  I command  thee,  thou,  and 
thy  son,  and  thy  son’s  son,  all  the 
days  of  thy  life;  *and  that  thy 
days  may  be  prolonged. 

3 ^ Hear  therefore,  O Is-ra-6l,  and 
observe  to  do  it ; that  it  may  be 
well  with  thee,  and  that  ye  may 
increase  mightily,  “as  the  Lord 
God  of  thy  fathers  hath  promised 
thee,  in  * the  land  that  floweth  with 
milk  and  honey. 

4 *Hear,  O IsYa-6l : The  Lord  our 
God  is  one  Lord  : 

5 And  “thou  shalt  love  the  Lord 
thy  God  with  all  thine  heart,  and 
with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy 
might. 

6 And  these  words,  which  I com- 
mand thee  this  day,  shall  be  in 
thine  heart: 

7 And  ^thou  shalt  ^ teach  them 
diligently  unto  thy  children,  and 
shaft  talk  of  them  when  thou  sit- 
test  in  thine  house,  and  when  thou 
walkest  by  the  way,  and  when 
thou  liest  down,  and  when  thou 
risest  up. 

8 *And  thou  shalt  bind  them  for 
a sign  upon  thine  hand,  and  they 
shall  be  as  frontlets  between  thine 
eves. 

y ^And  thou  shalt  write  them  up- 
on the  posts  of  thy  house,  and  on 
thy  gates.

CHAPTER  7.  <*ch.28.i. 

All  communion  with  the  Tiatiom  is  forbidden.  i Ueb.  because. 

WHEN  the  "Lord  thy  God  shall 
bring  thee  into  the  land  whi- 
ther thou  goest  to  possess  it,  and 
hath  cast  out  many  nations  before 
thee,  ^the  Hit-tites,  and  the  Gir- 
ga-shites,  and  the  Am-6r-ites,  and 
the  -Ca-naan-ites,  and  the  Per^z- 
zltes,  and  the  Hi-vltes,  and  the  J eb- 
u-sites,  seven  nations  * greater  and 
mightier  than  thou ; i i 

2 And  when  the  Lord  thy  God 
shall  * deliver  them  before  thee; 
thou  shalt  smite  them,  and  ^’^utterly 
destroy  them;  ^thou  shalt  make 
no  covenant  with  them,  nor  shew 
mercy  unto  them : 

3 Neither  shalt  thou  make  mar- 
riages with  them;  thy  daughter 
thou  shalt  not  give  unto  his  son, 
nor  his  daughter  shalt  thou  take 
unto  thy  son. 

4 For  they  will  turn  away  thy  son 
from  following  me,  that  they  may 
serve  other  gods;  ’’so  will  the  anger 
of  the  Lord  be  kindled  against  you, 
and  destroy  thee  suddenly.  ^ 

5 But  thus  shall  ye  deal  with 
them ; ye  shall  “destroy  their  altars, 
and  break  down  their  ^images,  and 
cut  down  their  groves,  and  burn 
their  graven  images  with  fire. 

6 ^For  thou  art  an  holy  people

7 The  Lord  did  not  set  his  love

An  exhortation

to  obedience. 


23  But  the  Lord  thy  God  shall 
deliver  them  ^unto  thee,  and  shall 
destroy  them  with  a mighty  destruc- 
tion, until  they  be  destroyed. 

24  And  *he  shall  deliver  their  kings 
into  thine  hand,  and  thou  shalt  de- 
stroy their  name  ‘’from  under  hea- 
ven : there  shall  no  man  be  able  to 
stand  before  thee,  until  thou  have 
destroyed  them. 

25  The  graven  images  of  their 
gods  -^shall  ye  burn  with  fire  : thou 
^ shalt  not  desire  the  silver  or  gold 
that  is  on  them,  nor  take  it  unto 
thee,  lest  thou  be  '‘snared  therein : 
for  it  is  *an  abomination  to  the 
Lord  thy  God. 

26  Neither  shalt  thou  bring  an 
abomination  into  thine  house,  lest 
thou  be  a cursed  thing  like  it:  but 
thou  shalt  utterly  detest  it,  and 
thou  shalt  utterly  abhor  it ; ^for  it 
is  a cursed  thing. 

CHAPTER  8. 

An  exhortation  to  obedience  in  regard  of  God's  dealing 
with  them. 

ALL  the  commandments  which  I 
command  thee  this  day  "shall 
ye  observe  to  do,  that  ye  may  live, 
and  multiply,  and  go  in  and  possess 
the  land  which  the  Lord  sware  un- 
to your  fathers. 

2 And  thou  shalt  remember  all  the 
way  which  the  Lord  thy  God  *led 
thee  these  forty  years  in  the  wilder- 
ness, to  humble  thee,  and  “to  prove 
thee,  *to  know  what  was  in  thine 
heart,  whether  thou  wouldest  keep 
his  commandments,  or  no. 

3 And  he  humbled  thee,  and  ^suf- 
fered thee  to  hunger,  and  ''fed  thee 
with  m^n-na,  which  thou  knewest 
not,  neither  did  thy  fathers  know ; 
that  he  might  make  thee  know  that 
man  doth  ‘'not  live  by  bread  only, 
but  by  every  word  that  proceedeth 
out  of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  doth 
man  live. 

4 •'’Thy  raiment  waxed  not  old  up- 
on thee,  neither  did  thy  foot  swell, 
these  forty  years. 

5 ^Thou  shalt  also  consider  in  thine 
heart,  that,  as  a man  chasteneth  his 
son,  so  the  Lord  thy  God  chasteneth 
thee. 

6 Therefore  thou  shalt  keep  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  Ho  walk  in  his  ways,  and  to 
fear  him. 

7 For  the  Lord  thy  God  bringeth 
thee  into  a good  land,  'a  land  of 
brooks  of  water,  of  fountains  and 
depths  that  spring  out  of  valleys 
and  hills;

graiiates;  a land  Hf  oil  olive,  and 
honey ; 

9 A land  wherein  thou  shalt  eat 
bread  without  scarceness,  thou  shalt 
not  lack  any  thing  in  it;  a land 
''whose  stones  are  iron,  and  out  of 
whose  hills  thou  mayest  dig  brass. 

10  "When  thou  hast  eaten  and  art 
full,  then  thou  shalt  bless  the  Lord 
thy  God  for  the  good  land  which  he 
hath  given  thee. 

1 1 Beware  that  thou  forget  not  the 
Lord  thy  God,  in  not  keeping  his 
commandments,  and  his  judgments, 
and  his  statutes,  which  I command 
thee  this  day : 

12  '^Lest  when  thou  hast  eaten 
and  art  full,  and  hast  built  goodly 
houses,  and  dwelt  therein ; 

13  And  when  thy  herds  and  thy 
flocks  multiply,  and  thy  silver  and 
thy  gold  is  multiplied,  and  all  that 
thou  hast  is  multiplied  • 

14  "“Then  thine  heart  be  lifted  up, 
and  thou  “forget  the  Lord  thy  God, 
which  brought  thee  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  E-gypt,  from  the  house  of 
bondage ; 

15  WhoHed  thee  through  that  great 
and  terrible  wilderness,  wherein 
were  fiery  serpents,  and  scorpions, 
and  drought,  where  there  teas  no 
water;  ""who  brought  thee  forth 
water  out  of  the  rock  of  flint; 

16  Who  fed  thee  in  the  wilderness 
with  'man-na,  which  thy  fathers 
knew  not,  that  he  might  humble 
thee,  and  that  he  might  prove 
thee,  ^to  do  thee  good  at  thy  latter 
end ; 

17  “And  thou  say  in  thine  heart. 
My  power  and  the  might  of  mine 
hand  hath  gotten  me  this  wealth. 

18  But  thou  shalt  remember  the 
Lord  thy  God : for  it  is  he  that 
giveth  thee  power  to  get  wealth, 
"that  he  may  establish  his  covenant 
which^  he  sware  unto  thy  fathers, 
as  it  is  this  day. 

19  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  do  at  all 
forget  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  walk 
after  other  gods,  and  serve  them, 
and  worship  them,  testify  against 
you  this  day  that  ye  shall  surely 
perish. 

20  As  the  nations  which  the  Lord 
destroyeth  before  your  face,  'so 
shall  ye  perish ; because  ye  would 
not  be  obedient  unto  the  voice  of 
the  Lord  your  God. 


Moses  rehearseth  the DEUTERON OM  Y,  9.  rebellions  of  Israel, 


and  mightier  than  thyself,  cities 
great  and  “fenced  up  to  heaven, 

2 A people  great  and  tall,  Hhe 
children  of  the  An-a-kims,  whom 
thou  knowest,  and  of  whom  thou 
hast  heard  say.  Who  can  stand  be- 
fore the  children  of  A-nak  ! 

3 Understand  therefore  this  day, 
that  the  Loed  thy  God  is  he  which 
•'■goeth  over  before  thee ; as  a con- 
suming fire  ^he  shall  destroy  them, 
and  he  shall  bring  them  down  be- 
fore thy  face:  *so  shalt  thou  drive 
them  out,  and  destroy  them  quickly, 
as  the  Lord  hath  said  unto  thee. 

4 “Speak  not  thou  in  thine  heart, 
after  that  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
cast  them  out  from  before  thee,  say- 
ing, For  my  righteousness  the  Lord 
hath  brought  me  in  to  possess  this 
land:  but  ’’for  the  wickedness  of 
these  nations  the  Lord  doth  drive 
them  out  from  before  thee. 

5 ^ Not  for  thy  righteousness,  or  for 
the  uprightness  of  thine  heart,  dost 
thou  go  to  possess  their  land:  but 
for  the  wickedness  of  these  nations 
the  Lord  thy  God  doth  drive  them 
out  from  before  thee,  and  that  he 
may  perform  “the  word  which  the 
Lord  sware  unto  thy  fathers,  A-bra- 
ham,  I-saac,  and  Ja-c5b. 

6 Understand  therefore,  that  the 
Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee  not  this 
good  land  to  possess  it  for  thy  right- 
eousness ; for  thou  art  ^a  stimiecked 
people. 

7 U Remember,  and  forget  not,  how 
thou  provokedst  the  Lord  thy  God 
to  wrath  in  the  wilderness:  “from 
the  day  that  thou  didst  depart  out 
of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  until  ye  came 
unto  this  place,  ye  nave  been  rebel- 
lious against  the  Lord. 

8 Also  “in  Ho-reb  ye  provoked  the 
Lord  to  wrath,  so  that  the  Lord 
was  angry  with  you  to  have  de- 
stroyed you. 

9 “When  I was  gone  up  into  the 
mount  to  receive  the  tables  of  stone, 
even  the  tables  of  the  covenant 
which  the  Lord  made  with  you, 
then  abode  in  the  mount  forty 
days  and  forty  nights,  I neither  did 
eat  bread  nor  drink  water : 

10  *And  the  Lord  delivered  unto 
me  two  tables  of  stone  written  with 
the  finger  of  God ; and  on  them  was 
written  according  to  all  the  words, 
which  the  Lord  spake  with  you  in 
the  mount  out  of  the  midst  of  the 
fire  ’“in  the  day  of  the  assembly. 

1 1 And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end 
of  forty  days  and  forty  nights,  that 
the  Lord  gave  me  the  two  tables 
of  stone,  even  the  tables  of  the  cov- 
enant.

12  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
* Arise,  get  thee  down  quickly  from 
hence;  for  thy  people  which  thou 
hast  brought  forth  out  of  E-gypt 
have  corrupted  themselves;  they  are 

quickly  turned  aside  out  of  the  way 
which  I commanded  them ; they 
have  made  them  a molten  image. 

13  Furthermore  “the  Lord  spake 
unto  me,  saying,  I have  seen  this 
people,  and,  behold,  Ut  is  a stilf- 
necked  people: 

14  “Let  me  alone,  that  I may  de- 
stroy them,  aiid  ’“blot  out  their 
name  from  under  heaven:  “and  I 
will  make  of  thee  a nation  mightier 
and  greater  than  they. 

15  ^So  I turned  and  came  down 
from  the  mount,  and  «the  mount 
burned  with  fire:  and  the  two 
tables  of  the  covenant  were  in  my 
two  hands. 

16  And  U looked,  and,  behold,  ye 
had  sinned  against  the  Lord  your 
God,  and  had  made  you  a molten 
calf : ye  had  turned  aside  quickly 
out  of  the  way  which  the  Lord  had 
commanded  you. 

1 7 And  I took  the  two  tables,  and 
cast  them  out  of  my  two  hands,  and 
brake  them  before  your  eyes. 

18  And  I *fell  down  before  the 
Lord,  as  at  the  first,  forty  days 
and  forty  nights  : I did  neither  eat 
bread,  nor  drink  water,  because  of 
all  your  sins  which  ye  sinned,  in 
doing  wickedly  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  to  provoke  him  to  anger. 

19  ^For  I was  afraid  of  the  anger 
and  hot  displeasure,  wherewith  the 
Lord  was  wroth  against  you  to  de- 
stroy you.  ^But  the  Lord  heark- 
ened unto  me  at  that  time  also. 

20  And  the  Lord  was  very  angry 
with  Aar-5n  to  have  destroyed  him : 
and  I prayed  for  Aar-Sn  also  the 
same  time. 

21  And  took  your  sin,  the  calf 
which  ye  had  made,  and  burnt  it 
with  fire,  and  stamped  it,  and 
ground  it  very  small,  even  until  it 
was  as  small  as  dust : and  I cast 
the  dust  thereof  into  the  brook 
that  descended  out  of  the  mount. 

22  And  at  ^Tab-6-rah,  and  at  ^Mas- 
sah,  and  at  *Kib-r5th-hat-ta-a-vah, 
ye  provoked  the  Lord  to  wrath. 

23  Likewise  ^when  the  Lord  sent 
you  from  Ka-desh-bar-ne-a,  saying, 
Go  up  and  possess  the  land  whicn 
I have  given  you ; then  ye  rebelled 
against  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  “ye  believed 
him  not,  nor  hearkened  to  his  voice. 

24  “Ye  have  been  rebellious  against 
the  Lord  from  the  day  that  I knew 
you.

me,  *Hew  thee  two  tables  of

CHAPTER  11. 

1 An  exhortation  to  obedience,  16  by  threatenings.  18  A 
careful  study  is  required  in  God's  words.  26  The  bless- 
ing and  curse  is  set  before  them. 

THEREFORE  thou  shalt  -^love 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  ®'keep 
his  charge,  and  his  statutes,  and 
his  judgments,  and  his  command- 
ments, alway. 

2  And  know  ye  this  day : for  I 
speak  not  with  your  children  which 
have  not  known,  and  which  have 
not  seen  *the  chastisement  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  ""his  greatness,  ”his 
mighty  hand,  and  his  stretched  out 
arm, 

3  5 And  his  miracles,  and  his  acts, 
which  he_  did  in  the  midst  of  E-gypt 
unto  PhaYaoh  the  king  of  E-gypt, 
and  unto  all  his  land  ; 

4  And  what  he  did  unto  the  army 
of  E-gypt,  unto  their  horses,  and  to 
their  chariots ; “ how  he  made  the 
water  of  the  Red  sea  to  overflow 
them  as  they  pursued  after  you, 
and  hoiv  the  Lord  hath  destroyed 
them  unto  this  day; 

5  And  what  he  did  unto  you  in 
the  wilderness,  until  ye  came  into 
this  place ; 

6  And  “what  he  did  unto  Da-than 
and  A-bi-ram,  the  sons  of  E-li-ab, 
the  son  of  Reu-ben  : how  the  earth 
opened  her  mouth,  and  swallowed 
them  up,  and  their  households,  and 
their  tents,  and  all  the  ^substance 
that  ^was  in  their  possession,  in 
the  midst  of  all  IsYa-el: 

7  But  ®your  eyes  have  seen  all  the 
great  acts  of  the  Lord  which  he 
did. 

8  Therefore  shall  ye  keep  all  the 
commandments  which  I command 
you  this  day,  that  ye  may-^be  strong, 
and  go  in  and  possess  the  land, 
whither  ye  go  to  possess  it; 

9  And  ^that  ye  may  prolong  your 
days  in  the  land,  *which  the  Lord 
sware  unto  your  fathers  to  give 
unto  them  and  to  their  seed,  *a 
land  that  floweth  with  milk  and 
honey. 

10  For  the  land,  whither  thou 
goest  in  to  possess  it,  is  not  as  the 
land  of  E-gypt,  from  whence  ye 
came  out,  where  thou  sowedst  thy 
seed,  and  wateredst  with  thy  foot, 
as  a garden  of  herbs  ; 

11  ’’But  the  land,  whither  ye  go 
to  possess  it,  is  a land  of  hills  and 


valleys,  and  drinketh  water  of  tho 

rain  of  heaven : 

12  A land  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
^careth  for:  Hhe  eyes  of  the  Lord 
thy  God  are  always  upon  it,  from 
the  beginning  of  the  year  even  unto 
the  end  of  the  year. 

1 3 IT  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  ye  shall  hearken  diligently  unto 
my  commandments  which  I com- 
mand you  this  day,  Ho  love  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  to  serve  him 
with  all  your  heart  and  with  all 
your  soul, 

14  That  will  give  you  the  rain 
of  your  land  in  his  due  season,  Hhe 
first  rain  and  the  latter  rain,  that 
thou  mayest  gather  in  thy  corn, 
and  thy  wine,  and  thine  oil. 

15  ^And  I will  ^send  grass  in  thy 
fields  for  thy  cattle,  that  thou  may- 
est "eat  and  be  full. 

16  Take  heed  to  yourselves,  ^that 
your  heart  be  not  deceived,  and  ve 
turn  aside,  and  ’‘serve  other  gods, 
and  worship  them; 

17  And  then  Hhe  Lord’s  wrath  be 
kindled  against  you,  and  he  Hhut 
up  the  heaven,  that  there  be  no  rain, 
and  that  the  land  yield  not  her 
fruit ; and  lest  *ye  perish  quickly 
from  off  the  good  land  which  the 
Lord  giveth  you. 

18  IT  Therefore  shall  ye  lay  up 
these  my  words  in  your  heart  and 
in  your  soul,  and  Hind  them  for 
a sign  upon  your  hand,  that  they 
may  be  as  frontlets  between  your 
eyes. 

19  *And  ye  shall  teach  them  your 
children,  speaking  of  them  when 
thou  sittest  in  thine  house,  and 
when  thou  walkest  by  the  way, 
when  thou  liest  down,  and  when 
thou  risest  up. 

20  ‘^And  thou  shalt  write  them 
upon  the  door  posts  of  thine  house, 
and  upon  thy  gates  : 

21  That  "your  days  may  be  mul- 
tiplied, and  the  days  of  your  chil- 
dren, in  the  land  which  the  Lord 
sware  unto  your  fathers  to  give 
them,  ^’as  the  days  of  heaven  upon 

22  IT  For- if  ^ye  shall  diligently 
keep  all  these  commandments  which 
I command  you,  to  do  them,  to  love 
the  Lord  your  God,  to  walk  in  all 
his  ways,  and  ’“to  cleave  unto  him; 

23  Then  will  the  Lord  “drive  out 
all  these  nations  from  before  you, 
and  ye  shall  "possess  greater  na- 
tions and  mightier  than  yourselves. 

24  ^Every  place  whereon  the  soles 
of  your  feet  shall  tread  shall  be 

Eour’s : * from  the  wilderness  and

CHAPTER  13. 

1 Enticers  to  idolatry  are  to  be  stoned  to  death. 

12  Idolatrous  cities  are  net  to  be  spared. 

IF  there  arise  among  you  a pro- 
phet, or  a * dreamer  of  dreams, 
^'and  giveth  thee  a sign  or  a wonder, 
2 And  Hhe  sign  or  the  wonder 
come  to  pass,  whereof  he  spake 
unto  thee,  saying.  Let  us  go  after 
other  gods,  which  thou  hast  not 
known,  and  let  us  serve  them ; 

3 Thou  shalt  not  hearken  unto 
the  words  of  that  prophet,  or  that 
dreamer  of  dreams  : tor  the  Lord 
your  God  “proveth  you,  to  know 
whether  ye  love  the  Lord  your  God 
with  all  your  heart  and  with  all 
your  soul. 

4 Ye  shall  ^walk  after  the  Lord 
your  God,  and  fear  him,  and  keep 
his  commandments,  and  obey  his 
voice,  and  ye  shall  serve  him,  and 
* cleave  unto  him. 

5 And  “that  prophet,  or  that 
dreamer  of  dreams,  shall  be  put 
to  death  ; because  he  hath  ® spoken 
to  turn  you  away  from  the  Lord 
your  God,  which  brought  you  out 
of  the  land  of  E-gj^pt,  and  re- 
deemed you  out  of  the  house  of 
bondage,  to  thrust  thee  out  of 
the  way  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
commanded  thee  to  walk  in.  “So 
shalt  thou  put  the  evil  away  from 
the  midst  of  thee. 

6 U * If  thy  brother,  the  son  of  thy 
mother,  or  thy  son,  or  thy  daugh- 
ter, or  ® the  wife  of  thy  bosom,  or 
thy  friend,  ® which  is  as  thine  own 
soul,  entice  thee  secretly,  saying, 
Let  us  go  and  serve  otner  gods. 


190 


Of  meats  clean 


which  thou  hast  not  known,  thou, 

nor  thy  fathers; 

7 Namely,  of  the  gods  of  the  peo- 
ple which  are  round  about  you, 
nigh  unto  thee,  or  far  off  from  thee, 
from  the  one  end  of  the  earth  even 
unto  the  otA,er  end  of  the  earth ; 

8 Thou  shalt  ®not  consent  unto 
him,  nor  hearken  unto  him ; neither 
shall  thine  eye  pity  him,  neither 
shalt  thou  spare,  neither  snalt  thou 
conceal  him : 

9 But  * thou  shalt  surely  kill  him ; 
'thine  hand  shall  be  first  upon  him 
to  put  him  to  death,  and  afterwards 
the  hand  of  all  the  people. 

10  And  thou  shalt  stone  him  with 
stones,  that  he  die ; because  he  hath 
sought  to  thrust  thee  away  from  the 
Lord  thy  God,  which  brought  thee 
out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  from  the 
house  of  ^ bondage. 

1 1 And  *all  Isb*a-el  shall  hear,  and 
fear,  and  shall  do  no  more  any 
such  wickedness  as  this  is  among 
you. 

12  H *If  thou  shalt  hear  say  in  one 
of  thy  cities,  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  given  thee  to  dwell  there, 
saying, 

13  Certain  men,  ^the  children  of 
Bedi-al,  ^are  gone  out  from  among 
you,  and  have  ^ withdrawn  the  in- 
habitants of  their  city,  saying,  ”Let 
us  go  and  serve  other  gods,  which 
ye  have  not  known ; 

14  Then  shalt  thou  enquire,  and 
make  search,  and  ask  diligently; 
and,  behold,  if  it  he  truth,  and  the 
thing  certain,  that  such  abomina- 
tion is  wrought  among  you ; 

15  Thou  shalt  surely  smite  the 
inhabitants  of  that  city  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  ^destroying  it 
utterly,  and  all  that  is  therein,  and 
the  cattle  thereof,  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword. 

1 6 And  thou  shalt  gather  all  the 
spoil  of  it  into  the  midst  of  the 
street  thereof,  and  shalt  ®burn  with 
fire  the  city,  and  all  the  spoil  there- 
of every  whit,  for  the  Lord  thy 
God : and  it  shall  be  *an  heap  for 
ever;  it  shall  not  be  built  again. 

1 7 And  “ there  shall  cleave  nought 
of  the  ® cursed  thing  to  thine  hand  : 
that  the  Lord  may  * turn  from  the 
fierceness  of  his  anger,  and  shew 
thee  mercy,  and  have  compassion 
upon  thee,  and  multiply  thee,  ^as 
he  hath  sworn  unto  thy  fathers; 

18  When  thou  shalt  hearken  to 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God.  ^ to 
keep  all  his  commandments  which 
I command  thee  this  day,  to  do 
that  which  is  right  in  the  eyes  of 
the  Lord  thy  God.

beasts,  9 of  fishes,  11  of  fowls.  22  Tithes  of  divine  serv-

Ye  are  ® the  children  of  the  Lord 
your  God:  ^ye  shall  not  cut 
yourselves,  nor  make  any  baldness 
between  your  eyes  for  the  dead. 

2  ‘^For  thou  art  an  holy  people 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  the 
Lord  hath  chosen  thee  to  be  a 
peculiar  people  unto  himself,  above 
all  the  nations  that  are  upon  the 
earth. 

3  H S' Thou  shalt  not  eat  any  abom- 
inable thing. 

4  These  are  the  beasts  which  ye 
shall  eat:  the  ox,  the  sheep,  and 
the  goat, 

5  The  hart,  and  the  roebuck,  and 
the  fallow  deer,  and  the  wild  goat, 
and  the  ^^pygarg,  and  the  wild  ox, 
and  the  chamois. 

6  And  every  beast  that  parteth 
the  hoof,  and  cleaveth  the  cleft  into 
two  claws,  and  cheweth  the  cud 
among  the  beasts,  that  ye  shall  eat. 
7 Nevertheless  these  ye  shall  not 
eat  of  them  that  chew  the  cud,  or 
of  them  that  divide  the  cloven  hoof; 
as  the  camel,  and  the  hare,  and  the 
coney : for  they  chew  the  cud,  but 
divide  not  the  hoof  ; therefore  they 
are  unclean  unto  you. 

8  And  the  swine,  because  it  dL 
videth  the  hoof,  yet  cheweth  not 
the  cud,  it  is  unclean  unto  you : 
ye  shall  not  eat  of  their  flesh,  ‘'nor 
touch  their  dead  carcase. 

9  ^ ^ These  ye  shall  eat  of  all  that 
are  in  the  waters  : all  that  have  fins 
and  scales  shall  ye  eat : 

10  And  whatsoever  hath  not  fins 
and  scales  ye  may  not  eat;  it  is 
unclean  unto  you.

ye  shall  not  eat : the  eagle,  and  the

mayest  sell  it  unto  an  alien ; tor

2 And  this  is  the  manner  of  the 

release;  Every  ^creditor  that  lend- 
eth  ought  unto  his  neighbour  shall 
release  it ; he  shall  not  exact  it  of 
his  neighbour,  or  of  his  brother; 
because  it  is  called  the  Lord’s  re- 
lease. 

3 ‘'Of  a foreigner  thou  mayest 
exact  it  again:  but  that  which  is 
thine  with  thy  brother  thine  hand 
shall  release ; 

4 ^Save  when  there  shall  be  no 
poor  among  you ; -^for  the  Lord 
shall  greatly  bless  thee  in  the  land 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee  for  an  inheritance  to  possess 
it : 

5 Only  hf  thou  carefully  hearken 
unto  the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  to  observe  t9  do  all  these 
commandments  which  I command 
thee  this  day. 

6 For  the  Lord  thy  God  blesseth 
thee,  as  he  promised  thee : and 
*thou  shalt  lend  unto  many  na- 
tions, but  thou  shalt  not  borrow; 
and  ^thou  shalt  reign  over  many 
nations,  but  they  shall  not  reign 
over  thee. 

7 H If  there  be  among  you  a poor 
man  of  one  of  thy  brethren  within 
any  of  thy  gates  in  thy  land  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee, 
”thou  shalt  not  harden  thine  heart, 
nor  shut  thine  hand  from  thy  poor 
brother : 

8 ‘’But  thou  shalt  open  thine  hand 
wide  unto  him,^  and  shalt  surely 
lend  him  sufficient  for  his  need, 
in  that  which  he  wanteth.’ 

9 Beware  that  there  be  not  a 
^thought  in  thy  ® wicked  heart,  say- 
ing, The  seventh  year,  the  year  of 
release,  is  at  hand ; and  thine  ^eye 
be  evil  against  thy  poor  brother, 
and  thou  givest  him  nought ; and 
“he  cry  unto  the  Lord  against  thee, 
and  '’'it  be  sin  unto  thee. 

10  Thou  shalt  surely  give  him, 
and  2/thine  heart  shall  not  be 
grieved  when  thou  givest  unto 
him : because  that  ^for  this  thing 
the  Lord  thy  God  shall  bless  thee 
in  all  thy  works,  and  in  all  that 
thou  puttest  thine  hand  unto. 

11  lor  ‘'the  poor  shall  never  cease 

out  of  the  land  : therefore  I com- 
mand thee,  saying.  Thou  shalt  open 
thine  hand  wide  unto  thy  brother, 
to  thy  poor,  and  to  thy  needy,  in 
thy  land.  , , tt  ^ 

12  ^ And  Gf  thy  brother,  an  He- 
brew man,  or  an  He-brew  woman, 
be  sold  unto  thee,  and  serve  thee 
six  years ; then  in  the  seventh  year 
thou  shalt  let  him  go  free  from 
thee. 


The  three  solemn 


13  And  when  thou  sendest  him 
out  free  from  thee,  thou  shalt  not 
let  him  go  away  empty : 

14  Thou  shalt  furnish  him  liber- 
ally out  of  thy  flock,  and  out  of 
thy  floor,  and  out  of  thy  wine- 
press : of  that  wherewith  the  Lord 
thy  God  hath  ‘’blessed  thee  thou 
shalt  give  unto  him. 

15  And  ‘^thou  shalt  remember  that 
thou  wast  a bondman  in  the  land 
of  E-gypt,  and  the  Lord  thy  God 
redeemed  thee  : therefore  I com- 
mand thee  this  thing  to  day. 

16  And  it  shall  be,  ^if  he  say  un- 
to thee,  I will  not  go  away  from 
thee ; because  he  loveth  thee  and 
thine  house,  because  he  is  well 
with  thee ; 

17  Then  thou  shalt  take  an  aul, 
and  thrust  it  through  his  ear  unto 
the  door,  and  he  shall  be  thy  serv- 
ant for  ever.  And  also  unto  thy 
maidservant  thou  shalt  do  like- 
wise. 

18  It  shall  not  seem  hard  unto 
thee,  when  thou  sendest  him  away 
free  from  thee ; for  he  hath  been 
worth  *a  double  hired  servant  to 
thee,  in  serving  thee  six  years  : and 
the  Lord  thy  God  shall  bless  thee 
in  all  that  thou  doest. 

1 9 U ”"A11  the  firstling  males  that 
come  of  thy  herd  and  of  thy  flock

with  the  firstling  of  thy  bullock, 
nor  shear  the  firstling  of  thy  sheep. 

20  ‘’Thou  shalt  eat  it  before  the 
Lord  thy  God  year  by  year  in  the 
place  which  the  Lord  shall  choose, 
thou  and  thy  household. 

21  3 And  if_  there  be  any  blemish 
therein,  as  if  it  he  lame,  or  blind, 
or  have  any  ill  blemish,  thou  shalt 
not  sacrifice  it  unto  the  Lord  thy 
God. 

22  Thou  shalt  eat  it  within  thy 
gates : * the  unclean  and  the  clean 
verson  shall  eat  it  alike,  as  the  roe- 
l)uck,  and  as  the  hart.

CHAPTER  19. 

1 The  cities  of  refuge.  4 The  privilege  thereof  for  the  man- 
slayer.  14  The  landmark  is  not  to  be  removed.  15  Two 
witnesses  at  the  least.  16  The  punishment  of  a false 
witness. 

WHEN  the  Lord  thy  God  'hath 
cut  off  the  nations,  whose 
land  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee,  and  thou  ^succeedest  them, 
and  dwellest  in  their  cities,  and 
in  their  houses ; 

2 'Thou  shalt  separate  three  cities 
for  thee  in  the  midst  of  thy  land, 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee  to  possess  it. 

3 Thou  shalt  prepare  thee  a way, 
and  divide  the  coasts  of  thy  land, 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee  to  inherit,  into  three  parts, 
that  every  slayer  may  flee  thither. 
4 If  And  "this  is  the  case  of  the 
slayer,  which  shall  flee  thither, 
that  he  may  live : Whoso  killeth 
his  neighbour  ignorantly,  whom 
he  hated  not  ^ in  time  past ; 

5 As  when  a man  goeth  into  the 
wood  with  his  neighbour  to  hew 
wood,  and  his  hand  fetcheth  a 
stroke  with  the  ax  to  cut  down 
the  tree,  and  the  ®head  slippeth 
from  the  ® helve,  and  ''lighteth  upon 
his  neighbour,  that  he  die ; he  shall 
flee  unto  one  of  those  cities,  and 
live : 

6 ""Lest  the  avenger  of  the  blood 
pursue  the  slayer,  while  his  heart 
is  hot,  and  overtake  him,  because 
the  way  is  long,  and  ®slay  him ; 
whereas  he  was  not  worthy  of 
death,  inasmuch  as  he  hated  him 
not  ®in  time  past. 

^ 7 Wherefore  I command  thee,  say- 
ing, Thou  shalt  separate  three  cities 
for  thee. 

8 And  if  the  Lord  thy  God  en- 
large thy  coast,  as  he  hath  sworn 
unto  thy  fathers,  and  give  thee  all 
the  land  v/hich  he  promised  to  give 
unto  thy  fathers ; 

9 If  thou  shalt  keep  all  these  com- 
mandments to  do  them,  which  I 
command  thee  this  day,  to  love  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  to  walk  ever  in

three :

thy  God  giveth  thee  for  an  inherit-

and  rise  up  against  him,  and  smite 
him  ^mortally  that  he  die,  and  fleetli

1 2 Then  the  elders  of  his  city  shall 
send  and  fetch  him  thence,  and 
deliver  him  into  the  hand  of  the 
avenger  of  blood,  that  he  may  die.

sinneth : at  the  mouth  of  two  wit- 
nesses, or  at  the  mouth  of  three

2 And  it  shall  be.  when  ye  are 
come  nigh  unto  the  battle,  that  the 
priest  shall  approach  and  speak 
unto  the  people, 

3 And  shall  say  unto  them.  Hear,

unto  battle  against  your  enemies : 
let  not  your  hearts  ^ faint,  fear  not,

that  goeth  with  you,  ‘^to  fight  for 
you  against  your  enemies,  to  save 
you.

not  taken  herl  let  him  go  and

Rhou  shalt  smite  every  male  there-

Thou  ^shalt  not  see  thy  brother’s 
ox  or  his  sheep  go  astray,  and 
hide  thyself  from  them : thou  shalt 
in  any  case  bring  them  again  unto 
thy  brother. 

2  And  if  thy  brother  be  not  nigh 
unto  thee,  or  if  thou  know  him 
not,  then  thou  shalt  bring  it  unto 
thine  own  house,  and  it  shall  be 
with  thee  until  thy  brother  seek 
after  it,  and  thou  shalt  restore  it 
to  him  again. 

3  In  like  manner  shalt  thou  do 
with  his  ass ; and  so  shalt  thou  do 
with  his  raiment ; and  with  all  lost 
thing  of  thy  brother’s,  which  he 
hath  lost,  and  thou  hast  found, 
shalt  thou  do  likewise:  thou  may-

4  51  ® Thou  shalt  not  see  thv  bro-

them  up  again. 

5  51  The  woman  shall  not  wear 
that  which  pertaineth  unto  a man, 
neither  shall  a man  put  on  a wo-

7 But  thou  shalt  in  any  wise  let 
the  dam  go,  and  take  the  young

thee,  and  that  thou  mayest  prolong 
thy  days. 

8 H When  thou  buildest  a new 
house,  then  thou  shalt  make  a 
battlement  for  thy  roof,  that  thou 
bring  not  blood  upon  thine  house, 
if  any  man  fall  from  thence. 

9 51  ^Thou  shalt  not  sow  thy  vine-

”go  in  unto  her,  and  hate  her, 

14  And  give  occasions  of  speech 
against  her,  and  bring  up  an  evil 
name  upon  her,  and  say,  I took  this 
woman,  and  when  I came  to  her,  I 
found  her  not  a maid 

15  Then  shall  the  father  of  the 
damsel,  and  her  mother,  take  and 
bring  forth  the  tokens  of  the  dam- 
sel’s virginity  unto  the  elders  of 
the  city  in  the  gate: 

16  And  the  damsel’s  father  shall 
say  unto  the  elders,  I gave  my 
daughter  unto  this  man  to  wife, 
and  he  hateth  her; 

17  And,  lo,  he  hath  given  occa- 
sions of  speech  against  her,  saying, 
I found  not  thy  daughter  a maid ; 
and  yet  these  are  the  tokens  of 
my  daughter’s  virginity.  And  they 
shall  spread  the  cloth  before  the 
elders  of  the  city. 

18  And  the  elders  of  that  city  shall 
take  that  man  and  chastise  him  ; 

19  And  they  shall  amerce  him  in 
an  hundred  shek-els  of  silver,  and 

ive  them  unto  the  father  of  the 
amsel,  because  he  hath  brought 
up  an  evil  name  upon  a virgin  of 
I§-ra-6l : and  she  shall  be  his  wife ; 
he  may  not  put  her  away  all  his 
days. 

20  But  if  this  thing  be  true,  and 
the  tokens  of  virginity  be  not  found 
for  the  damsel : 

21  Then  they  shall  bring  out  the 
damsel  to  the  door  of  her  father’s 
house,  and  the  men  of  her  city  shall 


stone  her  with  stones  that  she  die : 
because  she  hath  “ wrought  folly  in 
Is-ra-el,  to  play  the  whore  in  her 
father’s  house : ° so  shalt  thou  put 
evil  away  from  among  you. 

22  51  If  a man  be  found  lying  with 
a woman  married  to  an  husband, 
then  they  shall  both  of  them  die, 
both  the  man  that  lay  with  the 
woman,  and  the  woman : so  shalt 
thou  put  away  evil  from  IsYa-el. 

23  51  If  a damsel  thojt  is  a virgin 
be  -^betrothed  unto  an  husband, 
and  a man  find  her  in  the  city, 
and  lie  with  her ; 

24  Then  ye  shall  bring  them  both 
out  unto  the  gate  of  that  city,  and 
ye  shah  stone  them  with  stones  that 
they  die ; the  damsel,  because  she 
cried  not,  being  in  the  city ; and  the 
man,  because  he  hath  * humbled  his 
neighbour’s  wife  : ^so  thou  shalt  put 
away  evil  from  among  you. 

25  51  But  if  a man  find  a betrothed 
damsel  in  the  field,  and  the  man 
^ force  her,  and  lie  with  her : then 
the  man  only  that  lay  with  her 
shall  die : 

26  But  unto  the  damsel  thou  shalt 
do  nothing ; there  is  in  the  damsel 
no  sin  worthy  of  death  for  as  when 
a man  riseth  against  his  neighbour, 
and  slayeth  him,  even  so  is  this 
matter : 

27  For  he  found  her  in  the  field. 
and  the  betrothed  damsel  cried,  and 
there  was  none  to  save  her. 

28  51  Mf  a man  find  a damsel  that 
is  a virgin,  which  is  not  betrothed, 
and  lay  hold  on  her,  and  lie  with 
her,  and  they  be  found ; 

29  Then  the  man  that  lay  with  her 

shall  give  unto  the  damsel’s  father 
fifty  of  silver,  and  she  sliall 

be  his  wife ; ^ because  he  hath  hum- 
bled her,  he  may  not  put  her  away 
all  his  days.

immodest  woman.  13  Of  unjust  weights.  17  The  memory 
of  Amalek  is  to  be  blotted  out. 

IF  there  be  a 'controversy  be- 
tween men,  and  they  come  un- 
to judgment,  that  the  judges  may 
judge  them;  then  they  "‘shall  jus- 
tify the  righteous,  and  condemn  the 
wicked. 

2  And  it  shall  be,  if  the  wicked 
maun  he  "worthy  to  be  beaten,  that 
the  judge  shall  cause  him  to  lie 
down,  ^and  to  be  beaten  before  his 
face,  according  to  his  fault,  by  a 
certain  number. 

3  "Forty  stripes  he  may  give  him, 
and  not  exceed:  lest,  if  he  should 
exceed,  and  beat  him  above  these 
with  many  stripes,  then  thy  brother 
should  “seem  vile  unto  thee. 

4  H ""Thou  shalt  not  muzzle  the  ox 
when  he  ^treadeth  out  the  corn. 

5  II  'Hf  brethren  dwell  together, 
and  one  of  them  die,  and  have  no 
child,  the  wife  of  the  dead  shall 
not  marry  without  unto  a stranger: 
her  ''husband’s  brother  shall  go  in 
unto  her,  and  take  her  to  him  to

8 Then  the  elders  of  his  city  shall 
call  him,  and  speak  unto  him : and 
if  he  stand  to  it,  and  say,  like  not 
to  take  her ; 

9 Then  shall  his  brother’s  wife 
come  unto  him  in  the  presence  of 
the  elders,  and  loose  his  sh9e  from 
off  his  foot,  and  spit  in  his  face,

it  be  done  unto  that  man  that  will 
not  ® build  up  his  brother’s  house.  _ 

10  And  his  name  shall  be  called  in

her  husband  out  of  the  hand  of  him 
that  smiteth  him,  and  putteth  forth 
her  hand,  and  taketh  him  by  the 
secrets : 

12  Then  thou  shalt  cut  off  her 
hand,  * thine  eye  shall  not  pity  her.

Mivers  weights,  a great  and  a small. 

14  Thou  shaft  not  have  in  thine 
house  ^divers  measures,  a great  and 
a small. 

15  But  thou  shalt  have  a perfect 
and  just  weight,  a perfect  and  just 
measure  shalt  thou  have:  "that  thy 
days  may  be  lengthened  in  the  land 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee. 

16  For  ^all  that  do  such  things, 
and  all  that  do  unrighteously,  are 
an  abomination  unto  the  Lord  thy 
God. 

17  H ® Remember  what  Am-a-lek 
did  unto  thee  by  the  way,  when  ye 
were  come  forth  out  of  E-gypt ; 

18  How  he  met  thee  by  the  way, 
and  smote  the  hindmost  of  thee, 
even  all  that  tvere  feeble  ^ behind 
thee,  when  thou  wast  faint  and 
weary ; and  he  ^^feared  not  God. 

19  Therefore  it  shall  be,  ^when 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  given  thee 
rest  from  all  thine  enemies  round 
about,  in  the  land  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  giveth  thee  for  an  inherit-

from  off  the  land  whither  thou 
goest  to  possess  it. 

64  And  the  Lord  shall  scatter  thee 
among  all  people,  from  the  one  end 
of  the  earth  even  unto  the  other ; 
and  '‘there  thou  shalt  serve  other 
gods,  which  neither  thou  nor  thy 
fathers  have  known,  even  wood  and 
stone. 

65  And  'among  these  nations  shalt 
thou  find  no  ease,  neither  shall  the 
sole  of  thy  foot  have  rest ; ™but  the 
Lord  shall  give  thee  there  a trem- 
bling heart,  and  failing  of  eyes, 
and  ’‘sorrow  of  mind : 

66  And  thy  life  shall  hang  in  doubt 
before  thee;  and  thou  shalt  fear 
day  and  night  and  shalt  have  none 
assurance  of  thy  life  : 

67  "In  the  morning  thou  shalt  say. 
Would  God  it  were  even ! and  at 
even  thou  shalt  say,  Would  God  it 
were  morning  ! for  the  fear  of  thine- 
heart  wherewith  thou  shalt  fear, 
and  ®for  the  sight  of  thine  eyes 
which  thou  shalt  see. 

_ 68  And  the  Lord  ’’shall  bring  thee 
into  E-gypt  again  with  ships,  by  the 
way  whereof  I spake  unto  thee, 
'Thou  shalt  see  it  no  more  again : 
and  there  ye  shall  be  sold  unto 
your  enemies  for  bondmen  and 
bondwomen,  and  no  man  shall  buy 
you. 

CHAPTER  29. 

1 Moses  exhorteth  them  to  obedience,  by  the  memory  of  the 
works  they  have  seen.  10  All  are  ‘presented  before  the 
Lord  to  enter  into  his  covenant.  18  The  great  wrath 
on  him  that  flattcreth  himself  in  his  wickedness.  29 
Secret  things  belong  unto  God. 

These  are  the_  words  of  the 
covenant,  which  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo-ses  to  make  with 
the  children  of  IsYa-el  in  the  land 
of  Mo-ab,  beside  ^the  covenant 
which  he  made  with  them  in 
HoYeb. 

2 H And  Mo-ses  called  unto  all  Is- 
ra-el,  and  said  unto  them,  fYe  have 
seen  all  that  the  Lord  did  before 
your  eyes  in  the  land  of  E-gypt 
unto  PhaYaoh,  and  unto  all  his 
servants,  and  unto  all  his  land;

Moses  exhorteth 


DEUTERONOMY,  29. 


to  obedience. 


3 “The  great  temptations  whicli 
thine  eyes  have  seen,  the  signs, 
and  those  great  miracles : 

4 Yet  nhe  Lord  hath  not  given 
you  an  heart  to  perceive,  and  eyes 
to  see,  and  ears  to  hear,  unto  this 
day. 

5 ‘^And  I have  led  you  forty  years 
in  the  wilderness : ® your  clothes 
are  not  waxen  old  upon  you,  and 
thy  shoe  is  not  waxen  old  upon 
thy  foot. 

6 *Ye  have  not  eaten  bread,  nei- 
ther have  ye  drunk  wine  or  strong 
drink : that  ye  might  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord  your  God. 

7 And  when  ye  came  unto  this 
place,  ”Si-h5n  the  king  of  Hesh- 
b5n,  and  Og  the  king  of  Ba-shan, 
came  out  against  us  unto  battle, 
and  we  smote  them : ^ 

8 And  we  took  their  land,  and 
^’gave  it  for  an  inheritance  unto  the 
Reu-ben-Ites,  and  to  the  GMhtes, 
and  to  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas-seh. 

9 i^Keep  therefore  the  words  of  this 
covenant,  and  do  them,  that  ye  may 
^prosper  in  all  that  ye  do. 

10  II  Ye  stand  this  day  all  of  you 
before  the  Lord  your  God ; your 
captains  of  your  tribes,  your  elders, 
and  your  officers,  with  all  the  men 
of  IsYa-el, 

11  Your  little  ones,  your  wives, 
and  thy  stranger  that  is  in  thy 
camp,  from  ‘'the  hewer  of  thy  wood 
unto  the  drawer  of  thy  water : 

-12  That  thou  shouldest  enter  into 
covenant  with  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  ^into  his  oath,  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  maketh  with  thee  this 
day ; 

13  That  he  may  * establish  thee 
to  day  for  a people  unto  himself, 
and  that  he  may  be_  unto  thee  a 
God,  “as  he  hath  said  unto  thee, 
and  ^as  he  hath  sworn  unto  thy 
fathers,  to  A-bra-ham.  to  I-saac, 
and  to  Ja-cbb. 

14  Neither  with  you  only  ‘^do  I 
make  this  covenant  and  this  oath  ; 

15  But  with  him  that  standeth 
here  with  us  this  day  before  the 
Lord  our  God,  ‘^and  also  with  him 
that  is  not  here  with  us  this  day  : 

16  (For  ye  know  how  we  have 
dwelt  in  the  land  of  E-gypt;  and 
how  we  came  through  the  nations 
which  ye  passed  by ; 

17  And  ye  have  seen  their  abomi 
nations,  and  their  Mdols,  wood  and 
stone,  silver  and  gold,  which  were 
among  them :) 

18  Lest  there  should  be  among 
you  man,  or  woman,  or  family,  or 
tribe,  ^ whose  heart  turneth  away 
this  day  from  the  Lord  our  God,

19  And  it  come  to  pass,  when  he 
heareth  the  words  of  this  curse, 
that  he  bless  himself  in  his  heart, 
saying,  I shall  have  peace,  though 
I walk  -^in  the  ^imagination  of

20  ^The  Lord  v/ill  not  spare  him,

and  ^his  jealousy  shall  smoke  a-

that  are  written  in  this  book  shall 
lie  upon  hiru,  and  the  Lord  ”'shah 
blot  out  his  name  from  under

21  And  the  Lord  ‘’shall  separate

of  Ish4-el,  according  to  all  the 
curses  of  the  covenant  that  ^are 
written  in  this  book  of  the  law: 

22  So  that  the  generation  to  come 
of  your  children  that  shall  rise  up 
after  you,  and  the  stranger  that 
shall  come  from  a far  land,  shall 
say,  when  they  see  the  plagues  of 
that  land,  and  the  sicknesses which 
the  Lord  hath  laid  upon  it ; 

^‘6  And  that  the  whole  lamd  there- 
of is  brimstone,  ^ *and  salt,  and 
burning,  that  it  is  not  sown,  nor 
beareth,  nor  any  grass  grqweth 
therein,  “like  the  overthrow  of  Sod-

Z5-bohm,  which  the  Lord  overthrew 
in  his  anger,  and  in  his  wrath  : 

24  Even  all  nations  shall  say, 
^Wherefore  hath  the  Lord  done 
thus  unto  this  landl  what  mean- 
eth  the  heat  of  this  great  anger? 

25  Then  men  shall  sa5^  Because 
they  have  forsaken  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers, 
which  he  made  with  them  when  he 
brought  them  forth  out  of  tl\e  land 
of  E-gypt: 

26  4’or  they  went  and  served  other 
gods,  and  worshipped  them,  gods 
whom  they  knew  not,  and  ^tvhom 
he  had  not  ^ given  unto  them : 

27  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  \yas 
kindled  against  this  land,  “to  bring 
upon  it  all  the  curses  that  are  writ- 
ten in  this  book : 

28  And  the  Lord  ^rooted  them  out 
of  their  land  in  anger,  and  in  wrath, 
and  in  great  indignation,  and  cast 
them  into  another  land,  as  it  is  this 
day. 

29  The  secret  things  belong  unto 
the  Lord  our  God : but  those  things 
which  are  revealed  belong  unto  us 
and  to  our  children  for  ever,  that 
we  may  do  all  the  words  of  this  law.

CHAPTER  30. 

1 Great  mercies  prumised,  unto  the  re2Jeiitant.  15  Death 
and  life  are  set  before  them. 

AND  ^‘it  shall  come  to  pass,  when 
*all  these  things  are  come  up- 
on thee,  the  blessing  and  the  curse, 
which  I have  set  before  thee,  and 
®thou  shalt  call  them  to  mind  among 
all  the  nations,  whither  the  Loud 
thy  God  hath  driven  thee, 

2 And  shalt  ‘^return  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God,  and  shalt  obey  his  voice 
according  to  all  that  1 command 
thee  this  day,  thou  and  thy  chil- 
dren, with  all  thine  heart,  and  with 
all  thy  soul ; 

3 -^That  then  the  Lord  thy  God 
will  turn  thy  captivity,  and  have 
compassion  upon  thee,  and  will  re- 
turn and  gather  thee  from  all  the 
nations,  whither  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  scattered  thee. 

4 '"If  any  of  thine  be  driven  out 

unto  the  outmost  of  heaven, 

from  thence  will  the  Lord  thy  God 
gather  thee,  and  from  thence  will 
he  fetch  thee : 

5 And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
bring  thee  into  the  land  which  thy 
fathers  possessed,  and  thou  shalt 
possess  it ; and  he  will  do  thee 
good,  and  multiply  thee  above  thy 
fathers. 

6 And  ""the  Lord  thy  God  will  cir- 
cumcise thine  heart,  and  the  heart 
of  thy  seed,  to  love  the  Lord  thy 
God  with  all  thine  heart,  and  with 
all  thy  soul,  that  thou  mayest  live. 

7 And  the  Lord  thy  God  will  put 
all  these  curses  upon  thine  enemies, 
and  on  them  that  hate  thee,  which 
persecuted  thee. 

8 And  thou  shalt  return  and  obey 
the  voice  of  the  Lord,  and  do  all 
his  commandments  which  I com- 
mand thee  this  day. 

9 "And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
make  thee  plenteous  in  every  work 
of  thine  hand,  in  the  fruit  of  thy 
body,  and  in  the  fruit  of  thy  cattle, 
and  in  the  fruit  of  thy  land,  for 
good : for  the  Lord  will  again  ^re- 
joice over  thee  for  good,  as  he  re- 
joiced over  thy  fathers : 

10  If  thou  shalt  hearken  unto  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  to  keep 
his  commandments  and  his  statutes 
which  are  written  in  this  book  of 
the  law,  and  if  thou  turn  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God  with  all  thine  heart, 
and  with  all  thy  soul.

I command  thee  this  day,  "it  is  not

1 Moses  encoiirageth  the  people,  and  Joshua.  9 He  deliver- 
eth  the  law  unto  the  priests,  to  read  to  the  people.  14  God 
giveth  a charge  to  Joshua.  24  Moses  delivereth  the  book,

2 And  he  said  unto  them,  I ^am 
an  hundred  and  twenty  years  old

9 ^ And  Mo-scs  wrote  this  law, 
*and  delivered  it  unto  the- priests 
the  sons  of  Le-vi,  “which  bare  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,

10  And  Mo-ses  commanded  them, 
saying.  At  the  end  of  every  seven 
years,  in  the  solemnity  of  the  ""year 
of  release,  ^in  the  feast  of  taber- 
nacles,

in  the  place  which  he  shall  choose, 
'"thou  shalt  read  this  law  before  all

12  ® Gather  the  people  together, 
men,  and  women,  and  children,  and 
thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy

16  H And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo-ses,  Behold,  thou  shalt  ^ sleep 
with  thy  fathers ; and  this  people 
will  '’rise  up,  and  ®go  a w’horing 
after  the  gods  of  the  strangers  of 
the  land,  whither  they  go  to  he 
among  them,  and  will  forsake  me, 
and  ^ break  my  covenant  which  I 
have  made  with  them. 

1 7 Then  my  anger  shall  be  kindled 
against  them  in  that  day,  and  "T  will 
forsake  them,  and  I will  'hide  my 
face  from  them,  and  they  shall  be 
devoured,  and  many  evils  and  trou- 
bles shall  ‘^befall  them ; so  that  they 
will  say  in  that  day,  “Are  not  these 
evils  come  upon  us,  because  our 
God  is  "not  among  ush 

18  And  will  surely  hide  my 
face  in  that  day  for  all  the  evils 
which  they  shall  have  wrought, 
in  that  they  are  turned  unto  other 
gods. 

19  Now  therefore  write  ye  this 
song  for  you,  and  teach  it  the  chil- 
dren of  IshA-el : put  it  in  their 
mouths,  that  this  song  may  be  *a 
witness  for  me  against  the  children 
of  Ish*a-el. 

20  For  when  I shall  have  brought 
them  into  the  land  which  I sware 
unto  their  fathers,  that  lloweth  with 
milk  and  honey ; and  they  shall 
have  eaten  and  filled  themselves, 
"and  waxen  fat;  “then  will  they 
turn  unto  other  gods,  and  serve 
them,  and  provoke  me,  and  break 
my  covenant. 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
''when  many  evils  and  troubles  are 
befallen  them,  that  this  song  shall 
testify  ^against  them  as  a witness  ; 
for  it  shall  not  be  forgotten  out 
of  the  mouths  of  their  seed : for 
•'  I know  their  imagination  ^ which 
they  go  about,  even  now,  before 
1 have  brought  them  into  the  land 
which  I sware. 

22  H Mouses  therefore  wrote  this 
song  the  same  da and  taught  it 
the  children  of  Isb-a-e]- 

23  *And  he  gave  Josh-u-a  the  son 
of  Niin  a charge,  and  sa-id,  'Be 
strong  and  of  a good  courage : for 
thou  shalt  bring  the  children  of 
[s-ra-6l  into  the  land  which  I sware 
unto  them : and  I will  be  with 
thee.

27  ‘'For  I know  thy  rebellion,  and 

thy  stiff  neck  : behold,  while  I am

spreadeth  abroad  her  wings,  taketh 
them,  beareth  them  on  her  wings  : 

12  So  the  Loed  alone  did  lead 
him,  and  there  was  no  strange  god 
with  him. 

13  'He  made  him  ride  on  the  high 
places  of  the  earth,  that  he  might 
eat  the  increase  of  the  fields ; and 
he  made  him  to  suck  honey  out  of 
the  rock,  and  oil  out  of  the  flinty 
rock ; 

14  Butter  of  kine,  and  milk  of

ered with  fatness;  then  he  'forsook

esteemed  the  ^Rock  of  his  salva-

18  “Of  the  Rock  that  begat  thee 
thou  art  unmindful,  and  hast  '‘for-

he  ^abhorred  them,  because  of  the 
provoking  of  his  sons,  and  of  his 
daughters. 

20  And  he  said,  “I  will  hide  my

their  end  shall  he:  for  they  ure  a

tain Ab-a-rim,  unto  mount  Ne-bo, 
which  is  in  the  land  of  Mo-ab,  that 
is  over  against  Jgr-i-eho;  and  be-

The  blessings  of 


DEUTERONOMY,  33. 


the  twelve  tribes, 


CHAPTER  33. 

1 The  majesty  of  God.  6 The  blessings  of  the  twelve 
tribes.  ‘26  The  excellency  of  Israel. 

AND  this  is  Hhe  blessing,  where- 
with  Mo-s6s  ‘'the  man  of  God 
blessed  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  be- 
fore his  death. 

2 And  he  said,  ®The  Lord  came 
from  Si-nai,  and  rose  up  from  !Se-ir 
unto  them ; he  shined  forth  fiDm 
mount  Pa-ran,  and  he  came  with 
'‘ten  thousands  of  saints : from  his 
right  hand  went  ^a  fiery  law  for 
them. 

3 Yea,  *he  loved  the  people;  ^all 
his  saints  are  in  thy  hand  : and 
they  ^ sat  down  at  thy  feet ; every 
one  shall  « receive  of  thy  words. 

4 ’‘Mo-ses  commanded  us  a law, 
^even  the  inheritance  of  the  con- 
gregation of  Ja--e6b._ 

5 And  he  was  *king  in  Jeshhi-run, 
when  the  heads  of  the  people  and 
the  tribes  of  Is-ra-6l  were  gathered 
together. 

6 ^ Let  Reu-ben  live,  and  not  die  ; 
and  let  not  his  men  be  few. 

7 ^ And  this  is  the  blessing  of  Ju- 
dah : and  he  said.  Hear,  Lord,  the 
voice  of  Ju-dah,  and  bring  him 
unto  his  people ; ® let  his  hands  be 
sufficient  for  him;  and  be  thou  ‘'an 
help  to  him  from  his  enemies. 

8 ^ And  of  Le-vi  he  said,  Let  thy 
Thum-mim  and  thy  U-rim  \vith 
thy  holy  one,  -^whom  thou  didst 
prove  at  Mas-sah,  and  with  whom 
thou  didst  strive  at  the  waters  of 
Mer-i-bah ; 

9 Who  said  unto  his  father  and  to 
his  mother,  I have  not  ^ seen  hirn ; 
‘neither  did  he  acknowledge  his 
brethren,  nor  knew  his  own  chil- 
dren : for  ' they  have  observed  thy 
word,  and  kept  thy  covenant. 

10  “They®  shall  teach  Ja-«ob  thy 
judgments,  and  Is-ra-el  thy  law : 
'’’they'^  shall  put  incense  ® before 
thee,  ^and  whole  burnt  sacrifice 
upon  thine  altar. 

1 1 Bless,  Lord,  his  substance,  and 
® accept  the  work  of  his  hands : smite 
through  the  loins  of  them  that  rise 
against  him,  and  of  them  that  hate 
him,  that  they  rise  not  again. 

12  U And  of  Ben-ja-min  he  said. 
The  beloved  of  the  Lord  shall  dwell 
in  safety  by  him ; and  the  Lord  shall 
cover  him  all  the  day;  long,  and  he 
shall  dwell  between  his  shoulders. 

13  51  And  of  Jo-seph  he  said, 
^Blessed  of  the  Lord  be  his  land, 
for  the  precious  things  of  heaven, 
for  “^the  dew,  and  for  the  deep  that 
coucheth  beneath, 

14  And  for  the  precious  fruits 
brought  forth  by  the  sun,  and  for 


the  precious  things  ^put  forth  by 
the  ‘“^moon, 

15  And  for  the  chief  things  of  “the 
ancient  mountains,  and  for  the  pre- 
cious things  ‘^of  the  lasting  hills, 

1 6 And  for  the  precious  things  of 
the  earth  and  fulness  thereof,  and  , 
for  the  good  will  of  -^him  that  dwelt 
in  the  bush;  let  the  blessing  ^come 
upon  the  head  of  J o-s6ph,  and  upon 
the  top  of  the  head  of  him  that  was 
separated  from  his  brethren. 

1 7 His  glory  is  like  the  ‘firstling  of 
his  bullock,  and  his  horns  are  like 
‘“the  horns  of  ^unicorns:  with  them 
“he  shall  push  the  people  together 
to  the  ends  of  the  earth : and  ^they 
are  the  ten  thousands  of  E-phra-im, 
and  they  are  the  thousands  of  Ma- 
nas-seh. 

18  51  And  of  Zeb-u-lun  he  said, 
'‘'Rejoice,  Zeb-u-lun,  in  thy  going 
out ; and,  Is-sa-^har,  in  thy  tents. 

19  They  shall/ call  the  people  un- 
to the  mountain ; there  ‘they  shall 
offer  sacrifices  of  righteousness : for 
they  shall  suck  of  the  abundance 
of  the  seas,  and  of  treasures  hid  in 
the  sand. 

20  51  And  of  Gad  he  saich  Blessed 
be  he  that  * enlargeth  Gad : he 
dwelleth  as  a lion,  and  teareth  the 
arm  with  the  crown  of  the  head. 

21  And  ‘'he  provided  the  first  part 
for  himself,  because  /here,  in  a 
portion  of  the  lawgiver,  was  he 
“ seated ; and  ^ he  came  with  the 
heads  of  the  people,  he  executed 
the  justice  of  the  Lord,  and  his 
judgments  with  Is-ra-el. 

22  51  And  of  Dan  he  said,  Dan  is 
a lion’s  whelp : ^he  shall  leap  from 
Ba-shan. 

23  ^ And  of  Naph-ta-li  he  said,  O 
Naph-ta-li,  ’“satisfied  with  favour, 
and  full  with  the  blessing  of  the 
Lord  : " possess  thou  the  west  and 
the  south. 

24  51  And  of  Ash-er  he^  said,  ‘^Let 
Ash-er  be  blessed  with  children ; let 
him  be  acceptable  to  his  brethren, 
and  let  him  *dip  his  foot  in  oil. 

25  ®Thy  shoes  shall  be  “iron  and 
brass ; and  as  thy  days,  so  shall 
thy  strength  be. 

26  51  There  is  /none  like  unto  the 
God  of  ^Jesh-u-run,  ^ivho  rideth 
upon  the  heaven  in  thy  help,  and 
in  his  excellency  on  the  sky. 

27  The  eternal  God  is  thy  “refuge, 
and  underneath  are  the  everlasting 
arms : and  ‘'he  shall  thrust  out  the 
enemy  from  before  thee  ; and  shall 
say.  Destroy  them. 

28  Hs-r4-el  then  shall  dwell  in 
safety  alone:  •''the  fountain  of  Ja- 
eob  shall  be  upon  a land  of  corn

saying, 

13  Remember  ^the  word  which 
Mo-ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
commanded  you,  saying.  The  Lord 
your  God  hath  given  you  rest,  and 
hath  given  you  this  land._ 

14  Your  wives,  your  little  ones, 
and  your  cattle,  shall  remain  in  the 
land  which  Mo-ses  gave  you  on  this 
side  J6r-dan;  but  ye  shall  pass 
before  your  brethren  ^ armed,  all 
the  mighty  men  of  valour,  and 
help  them ; 

15  Until  the  Lord  have  given  your 
brethren  rest,  as  he  hath  given  you,

land  which  the  Lord  your  God 
giveth  them  : ^ then  ye  shall  return 
unto  the  land  of  your  possession, 
and  enjoy  it,  which  Mo-ses  the 
Lord’s  servant  gave  you  on  this 
side  J6r-dan  toward  the  sunrising. 

16  U And  they  answered  J5sh-u-a, 
saying.  All  that  thou  commandest 
us  we  will  do,  and  whithersoever 
thou  sendest  us,  we  will  go. 

1 7 According  as  we  hearkened 
unto  Mo-s6s  in  all  things,  so  v/ill 
we  hearken  unto  thee : only  the 
Lord  thy  God  ™be  with  thee,  as  he

3 And  the  king  of  Jer-Lcho  sent 
unto  Ra-hab,  saying.  Bring  forth 
the  men  that  are  come^  to  thee, 
which  are  entered  into  thine  house ; 
for  they  be  come  to  search  out  all 
the  country., 

4 ^And  the  v/oman  took  the  two 
men,  and  hid  them,  and  said  thus. 
There  came  men  unto  me,  but  I 
wist  not  whence  they  were: 

5 And  it  came  to  pass  about  the- 
time  of  shutting  of  the  gate,  when 
it  was  dark,  that  the  men  went 
out : whither  the  men  went  I wot 
not  : pursue  after  them  quickly ; 
for  ye  shall  overtake  them. 

6 But  ®she  had  brought  them  up 
to  the  roof  of  the  house,  and  hid 
them  with  the  stalks  of  flax,  which 
she  had  laid  in  order  upon  the  roof. 

7 And  the  men  pursued  after  them 
the  way  to  J6r-dan  unto  the  fords  : 
and  as  soon  as  they  which  pursued 
after  them  were  gone  out,  they  shut 
the  gate. 

8 ^ And  before  they  were  laid 
down,  she  came  up  unto  them 
upon  the  roof ; 

9 And  she  said  unto  the  men,  I 
know  that  the  Lord  hath  given 
you  the  land,  and  that  -^your  terror 
is  fallen  upon  us,  and  that  all  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land  ^ faint  be- 
cause of  you. 

10  For  we  have  heard  hov/  the 
Lord  ^ dried  up  the  water  of  the 
Red  sea  for  you,  when  ye  came  out 
of  E-gypt ; and  ‘what  ye  did  unto 
the  two  kings  of  the  _Am-6r-ites, 
that  were  on  the  other  side  J6r-dan, 
SiffiCn  and  Og,  whom  ye  utterly 
destroyed. 

1 1 And  as  soon  as  we  had  *heard 
these  things,  ^our  hearts  did  melt, 
neither  ^did  there  remain  any  more 
courage  in  any  man,  because  of 
you : for  “the  Lord  your  God,  he 
is  God  in  heaven  above,  and  in 
earth  beneath. 

12  Now  therefore,  I pray  you, 
"swear  unto  me  by  the  Lord,  since 
I have  shewed  you  kindness,  that 
ye  will  also  shew  kindness  unto 
^my  father’s  house,  and  «give  me 
a true  token: 

13  And  that  ye  will  save  alive  my 
father,  and  my  mother,  and  my 
brethren,  and  my  sisters,  and  all 
that  they  have,  and  deliver  our 
lives  from  death. 

14  And  the  men  answered  her. 
Our  life  ®for  your’s,  if  ye  utter  not 
this  our  business.  And  it  shall  be, 
when  the  Lord  hath  given  us  the 
land,  that  *we  will  deal  kindly  and 
truly  with  thee.

house  was  upon  the  town  wall,  and 
she  dwelt  upon  the  wall. 

16  And  she  said  unto  them,  Get 
you  to  the  mountain,  lest  the  pur- 
suers meet  you ; and  hide  your- 
selves there  three  days,  until  the 
pursuers  be  returned : and  after- 
ward may  ye  go  your  way. 

17  And  the  men  said  unto  her,  We 
ivill  be  blameless  of  this  thine  oath 
which  thou  hast  made  us  swear. 

18  ® Behold,  when  we  come  into  the 
land,  thou  shalt  bind  this  line  _ of 
scarlet  thread  in  the  window  which 
thou  didst  let  us  down  by:  ^'and 
thou  shalt  ^ bring  thy  father,  and 
thy  mother,  and  thy  brethren,  and 
all  thy  father’s  household,  home 
unto  thee. 

1 9 And  it  shall  be,  that  whosoever 
shall  go  out  of  the  doors  of  thy 
house  into  the  street,  his  blood 
shall  be  upon  his  head,  and  we 
will  be  guiltless : and  whosoever 
shall  be  with  thee  in  the  house, 
^his  blood  shall  be  on  our  head,  if 
any  hand  be  upon  him. 

20  And  if  thou  utter  this^  our 
business,  then  we  will  be  quit  of 
thine  oath  which  thou  hast  made 
us  to  swear. 

21  And  she  said.  According  unto 
your  words,  so  be  it.  And  she  sent 
them  away,  and  they  departed : and 
she  bound  the  scarlet  line  in  the

the  tribes  of  the  children  of  IsAa-6l, 
and  carried  them  over  with  them 
unto  the  place  where  they  lodged, 
and  laid  them  down  there. 

9 And  J osh-u-a  set  up  twelve  stones 
in  the  midst  of  J6r-dan,  in  the  place 
where  the  feet  of  the  priests  which 
bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant  stood : 
and  they  are  there  unto  this  day. 

10  ^ For  the  priests  which  bare 
the  ark  stood  in  the  midst  of  Jdr-

that  the  Lord  commanded  Josh-u-a 
to  speak  unto  the  people,  accord- 
ing to  all  that  Mo-ses  commanded 
Jdsh-u-a:  and  the  people  hasted 
and  passed  over. 

1 1 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all 
the  people  were  clean  passed  over, 
that  the  ark  of  the  Lord  passed 
over,  and  the  priests,  in  the  pres- 
ence of  the  people. 

12  And  ^the  children  of  Reu-ben, 
and  the  children  of  Gad,  and  half 
the  tribe  of  Ma-nas-seh,  passed  over

as  Mo-ses  spake  unto  them : 

13  About  forty  thousand  ^ pre- 

pared for  war  passed  over  before

they  feared  Mo-ses,  all  the  days  ot

come  up  out  of  J 6r-dan.

the  priests,  saying,  Come  ye  up  out 
of  Jor-dan,

enant of  the  Lord  were  come  up 
out  of  the  midst  of  J 6r-dan,  andthQ

up  unto  the  dry  land,  that  the 
waters  of  Jor-dan  returned  unto 
their  place,  ^and  ^flowed  over  all 
his  banks,  as  they  did  before. 

19  II  And  the  people  came  up  out 
of  J6r-dan  on  the  tenth  day  ot  the

2 H At  that  time  the  Lord  said 
unto  J5sh-u-a,  Make  thee  ^sharp^ 
knives,  and  circumcise  again  the 
children  of  l§-ra-6l  the  second  time. 

3 And  JOsh-u-a  made  him  sharp 
knives,  and  circumcised  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el  at  ®the  hill  of  the 
foreskins. 

4 And  this  is  the  cause  why  J5sh- 
u-a  did  circumcise : * All  the  people 
that  came  out  of  E-gypt,  that  were 
males,  even  all  the  men  of  war,  died 
in  the  wilderness  by  the  way,  after 
they  came  out  of  E-gypt. 

5 Now  all  the  people  that  came 
out  were  circumcised:  but  all  the 

Seople  that  were  born  in  the  wil- 
erness  by  the  way  as  they  came 
forth  out  of ^ E-gypt,  them  they  had 
not  circumcised. 

6  For  thechildrenof  I§-ra-M  walked 
“forty  years  in  the  wilderness,  till 
all  the  people  that  were  men  of  war, 
which  came  out  of  E-gypt,  were 
consumed,  because  they  obeyed  not 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  : unto  whom 
the  Lord  sware  that  *he  would  not 
shew  them  the  land,  which  the 
Lord  sware  unto  their  fathers  that 
he  would  give  us,  “a  land  that 
floweth  with  milk  and  honey. 

7  And  ® their  children,  whom  he 
raised  up  in  their  stead,  them  Jbsh- 
u-a  circumcised  : for  they  were  un- 
circumcised, because  they  had  not 
circumcised  them  by  the  way. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  ’when

they  had  done  circumcising  all  the 
people,  that  they  abode  in  their 
places  in  the  camp,  *till  they  were 
whole. 

9 And  the  I ^ord  said  unto  J 5sh-u-a„ 
This  day  have  I rolled  away  ‘'the 
reproach  of  E-gypt  from  off  you. 
Wherefore  the  name  of  the  place 
is  called  ®Gil-gaP  unto  this  day. 

10  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l 
encamped  in  Gil-gal,  and  kept  the 
passover  '*on  the  fourteenth  day  of 
the  month  at  even  in  the  plains  of 
J er- i-eho. 

1 1 And  they  did  eat  of  the  old  corn 
of  the  land  on  the  morrow  after 
the  passover,  unleavened  cakes,  and 
parched  corn  in  the  selfsame  day. 

12  And  * the  manhia  ceased  on 
the  morrow  after  they  had  eaten  of 
the  old  corn  of  the  land;  neither  had 
the  children  of  Is-ra-6l  manhia  any 
more ; but  they  did  eat  of  the  fruit 
of  the  land  of  -Ga-naan  that  year. 
^13  *[1  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
J5sh-u-a  was  by  Jer-i-cho,  that  he 
lifted  up  his  eyes  and  looked,  and, 
behold,  there  stood  "a  man  over 
against  him  ^with  his  sword  drawn 
in  his  hand : and  J5sh-u-a  went  unto 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou 
for  us,  or  for  our  adversaries! 

14  And  he  said.  Nay  ; but  as  cap- 
tain of  the  host  of  the  Lord  am  I 
now  come.  And  JOsh-u-a  ’‘fell  on 
his  face  to  the  earth,  and  did  wor- 
ship, and  said  unto  him.  What  saith 
my  lord  unto  his  servant ! 

15  And  the  captain  of  the  Lord’s 
host  said  unto  J5shhl-a,  ^ Loose  thy 
shoe  from  off  thy  foot ; for  the 

Elace  whereon  thou  standest  is 
oly.  And  J5sh-u-a  did  so. 

CHAPTER  6. 

1 Jericho  is  shut  up.  ‘2.  God  instruct eth  Joshua  how  to 
besiege  it.  12  The  city  is  compassed.  20  The  walls  fall 
down.  22  Rahab  is  saved. 

lyrOW  J6r-i-cho  ®was  straitly  shut 
^ up  because  of  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el : none  went  out,  and  none 
came  in. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  J5sh-u-a, 
See.  '‘I  have  given  into  thine  hand 
J6r-i-cho,  and  the  ^king  thereof, 
and  the  miglity  men  of  valour. 

3  And  ye  shall  comxiass  the  city, 
all  ye  men  of  war,  and  go  round 
about  the  city  once.  Thus  shalt 
thou  do  six  days. 

4  And  seven  priests  shall  bear 
before  the  ark  sev(‘n  * trumpets  of 
rams’  horns : and  the  seventh  day 
ye  shall  compass  the  city  seven 
times,  and  ‘*the  priests  shall  blow 
with  the  trumni'ts. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
when  they  make  a long  blast  with 


The  city  is  compassed. 


JOSHUA,  6. 


Rahah  is  savi>a 


the  ram’s  horn,  and  when  ye  hear 
the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  all  the 
people  shall  shout  v/ith  a great 
shout;  and  the  wall  of  tne  city 
shall  fall  down  ^flat,  amd  the  people 
shall  ascend  up  every  man  straight 
before  him.  , , . , ^ 

6 ^ And  J6sh-u-a  the  son  or  JNun 
called  the  priests,  amd  said  unto 
them.  Take  up  the  ark  of  the  cov- 
enant, and  let  seven  priests  oear 
seven  trumpets  of  rams’  horns  be- 
fore the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

7 And  he  said  unto  the  people. 
Pass  on,  and  compass  the  city,  and 
let  him  that  is  armed  pass  on  be- 
fore the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

8 H And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
J5sh-u-a  had  spoken  unto  the  peo- 
ple, that  the  seven  priests  bearing 
the  seven  trumpets  of  rams’  horns 
passed  on  before  the  Lord,_  and 
blew  v/ith  the  trumpets : and  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
followed  them. 

9 H And  the  armed  men  went  be- 
fore the  priests  that  blev/  with  the 
trumpets,  -^and  the  ® rereward  came 
after  the  ark,  the  priests  going  on, 
and  blowing  with  the  trumpets. 

10  And  JOsh-u-a  had  commanded 
the  people,  saying.  Ye  shall  not 
shout,  nor  ®make  any  noise  with 
your  voice,  neither  shall  any  word 
proceed  out  of  your  mouth,  until 
the  day  I bid  you  shout;  then 
shall  ye  shout. 

11  So  the  ark  of  the  Lord  com- 
passed the  city,  going  about  it 
once:  and  they  came  into  the 
camp,  and  lodged  in  the  camp.  ^ 

12  U And  JOsh-u-a  rose_  early  in 
the  morning,  ^ and  the  priests  took 
up  the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  seven  priests  bearing  seven 
trumpets  of  rams’  horns  before  the 
ark  of  the  Lord  went  on  continu- 
ally, and  blew  with  the  trumpets : 
and  the  armed  men  went  before 
them ; but  the  rereward  came  after 
the  ark  of  the  Lord,  the^  priests 
going  on,  and  blov/ing  with  the 
trumpets. 

14  And  the  second  day  they  com- 
passed the  city  once,  and  returned 
into  the  camp:  so  they  did  six 
days. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
seventh  day,  that  they  rose  early 
about  the  dav/ning  of  the  day,  and 
compassed  the  city  after  the  same 
manner  seven  times : only  on  that 
day  they  compassed  the  city  seven 
times. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at, the 
seventh  time,  when  the  priests 
blew  with  the  trumpets,  JOsh-u-a

said  unto  the  people.  Shout;  for 
the  Lord  hath  given  you  the  city. 

17  II  And  the  city  shall  be  ^ac- 
cur.sed,  even  it,  and  ail  that  are 
therein,  to  the  Lord  : only  Ha-hab 
the  harlot  shall  live,  she  and  all 
that  are  with  her  in  the  house, 
because  "she  hid  the  messengers 
that  we  sent. 

18  And  ye,  ^in  any  wise  keep  your- 
selves from  the  accursed  thing,  lest 
ye  make  yourselves  accursed,  when 
ye  take  of  the  accursed  thing,  and 
make  the  camp  of  IsYa-el  a curse, 

and  trouble  it. 

19  But  all  the  silver,  and  gold, 
and  vessels  of  brass  and  iron,  are 
® consecrated  unto  the  Lord  : they 
shall  come  into  the  treasury  of  the 
Lord. 

20  So  the  people  shouted  when 
the  priests  blew  with  the  trumpets : 
and  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  peo- 
ple heard  the  sound  of  the  trumpet, 
and  the  people  shouted  with  a great 
shout,  that  ‘^the  wall  fell  down  ^flat, 
so  that  the  people  went  up  into  the 
city,  every  man  straight  before  him, 
and  they  took  the  city. 

21  And  they  ^utterly  destroyed  all 

that  was  in  the  city,  both  man  and 
woman,  young  and  old,  and  ox,  and 
sheep,  and  ass,  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword.  . , ^ 

22  But  Jbsh-u-a  had  said  unto  the 
two  men  that  had  spied  out  the 
country.  Go  into  the  harlot’s  house, 
and  bring  out  thence  the  woman, 
and  all  that  she  hath,  ^as  ye  sware 
unto  her. 

23  And  the  young  men  that  were 

spies  went  in,  and  brought  out  Ra- 
hab,  *and  her  father,  and  her  mo- 
ther, and  her  brethren,  and  all  that 
she  had ; and  they  brought  out  all 
her  ’kindred,  and  left  them  with- 
out the  camp  of  IsYa-el.  ^ , 

24  And  they  burnt  the  city  with 
fire,  and  all  that  was  therein : ^only 
the  silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the 
vessels  of  brass  and  of  iron,  they 
put  into  the  treasury  of  the  house 

of  the  Lord.  , -n,  ^ i .li 

25  And  Jbsh-u-a  saved  Ra-hab  the 
harlot  alive,  and  her  father’s  house- 
hold, and  all  that  she  had;  and 
*she  dwelleth  in  IsYa-el  even  unto 
this  day ; because  she  hid  the  mes- 
sengers. which  J osh-u-a  sent  to  spy 
out  Jer-i-cho. 

26  ‘il  And  Jbsh-u-a  ad3ured  them 
at  that  time,  saying,  Cursed  he  the 
man  before  the  Lord,  that  riseth 
up  and  buildeth  this  city  J er-i-cho  : 
he  shall  lay  the  foundation  thereof 
in  his  firstborn,  and  in  his  youngest 
son  shall  he  set  up  the  gates  of  it.

CHAPTER  7. 


® See  Acts  5. 1,2. 


1 The  Israelites  are  smitten  at  Ai.  6 Joshua's  complaint. 
10  God  instructeth  him  what  to  do.  16  Achan  is  taken 
by  the  lot.  19  Mis  confession.  22  He  and  all  he  had 
are  destroyed  in  the  valley  of  Achor. 

But  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  com- 
mitted a trespass  in  the  accursed 
thing : for  -^A^hanp  the  son  of  -Gar- 
mi,  the  son  of  ^Zab-dT,  the  son  of 
Ze-rah,  of  the  tribe  of  J u-dah,  took 
of  the  accursed  thing : and  the  anger 
of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el. 

2 And  J5sh^u-a  sent  men  from 
Jer-i-eho  to  A-i,  which  is  beside 
Bgth-a-ven,  on  the  east  side  of 
Beth -el,  and  spake  unto  them,  say- 
ing, Go  up  and  view  the  country. 
And  the  men  went  up  and  viewed 
A-I. 


3 And  they  returned  to  Jbsh-u-a, 
and  said  unto  him.  Let  not  all  the 
people  go  up ; but  let  ^ about  two 
or  three  thousand  men  go  up  and 
smite  A-i;  and  make  not  all  the 
people  to  labour  thither ; for  they 
are  hut  few. 

4 So  there  went  up  thither  of  the 
people  about  three  thousand  men : 
^and  they  fled  before  the  men  of  Ah. 

5 And  the  men  of  Ah  smote  of 
them  about  thirty  and  six  men : 
for  they  chased  them  from  before 
the  gate  even  unto  Sheb-a-rim,  and 
•smote  them  ^ in  the  going  down : 
wherefore  "the  hearts  of  the  people 
melted,  and  became  as  water. 

6 IT  And  Josh-u-a  ^rent  his  clothes, 
and  fell  to  the  earth  upon  his  face 
before  the  ark  of  the  Lord  until  the 
eventide,  he  and  the  elders  of  Is-ra- 
Sl,  and  ^put  dust  upon  their  heads. 

7 And  J5sh-u-a  said,  Alas,  O Lord 
God,  ’’wherefore  hast  thou  at  all 
brought  this  people  over  J6r-dan, 
to  deliver  us  into  the  hand  of  the 
Am-6r-ites,  to  destroy  us  % would  to 
God  we  had  been  content,  and  dwelt 
on  the  other  side  Jor-dan  ! 

8 O Lord,  what  shall  I say,  when 
Is-ra-6l  turneth  their  ® backs  before 
their  enemies ! 

9 For  the  -Ga-naan-Ites  and  all  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land  shall  hear 
of  it,  and  shall  environ  us  round, 
and  ^cut  off  our  name  from  the 
earth:  and  ^what  wilt  thou  do  unto 
thy  great  name  1

thou  thus  upon  thy  face  ^

be  burnt  with  fire,  he  and  all  that 
he  hath : because  he  hath  ^ trans- 
gressed the  covenant  of  the  Lord, 
and  because  he  ”hath  wrought  ^ folly 
in  Is-ra-el. 

16  H So  J5sh-u-a  rose  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  brought  IsAa-6l 
by  their  tribes ; and  the  tribe  of 
Ju-dah  was  ta  ken : 

17  And  he^  brought  the  family  of 
Ju-dah ; and  he  took  the  family  of 
the  Zardiites : and  he  brought  the 
family  of  the  Zardiites  man  by 
man  ; and  Zab-dl  was  taken  : 

18  And  he  brought  his  household 

man  by  man  ; and  A-clian,  the  son 
of  -Car-mi,  the  son  of  Zab-di,  the 
son  of  ZehAh,  of  the  tribe  of  J u-dah, 
*was  taken.  ^ ^ ^ 

19  And  Josh-u-a  said  unto  A-ehan, 
My  son,  ‘give,  I pray  thee,  glory  to 
the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  ’"and  make 
confession  unto  him ; and  tell  me 
now  what  thou  hast  done ; hide  it 
not  from  me. 

20  And  A-chan  answered  J5sh-u-a, 
and  said.  Indeed  I have  sinned  a- 
gainst  the  Lord  God  of  IshA-el,  and 
thus  and  thus  have  I done  : 

21  When  I saw  among  the  spoils 
a goodly  Bab-y-lobiish  garment,  and 
two  hundred  shek-els  of  silver,  and 
a ® wedge  of  gold  of  fifty  sh6k-6ls 
weight,  then  I coveted  them,  and 
took  them;  and,  behold,  they  are

22  II  So  J5sh-u-a  sent  messengers, 
and  they  ran  unto_  the_  tent ; and, 
behold,  it  teas  hid  in  his  tent,  and 
the  silver  under  it. 

23  And  they  took  them  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  tent,  and  brought  them 
unto  Jbsh-u-a,  and  unto  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el,  and  laid  them  out 
before  the  Loed. 

24  And  J5sh-u-a,  and  all  Is-ra-el 
with  him,  took  A--ehan  the  son  of 
Ze-rah,  and  the  silver,  and  the  gar- 
ment, and  the  wedge  of  gold,  and 
his  sons,  and  his  daughters,  and  his 
oxen,  and  his  asses,  and  his  sheep, 
and  his  tent,  and  all  that  he  had : 
and  they  brought  them  unto  Hhe 
valley  of  A-ehor. 

25  And  J6sh-u-a  said,  ‘'Why  hast 
thou  troubled  US'?  the  Lord  shall 
trouble  thee  this  day.  ‘^And  all 
Is-ra-el  stoned  him  with  stones,  and 
burned  them  with  fire,  after  they 
had  stoned  them  with  stones.^ 

26  And  they  -^raised  over  him  a 
great  heap  of  stones  unto  this  day. 
So  ^the  Lord  turned  from  the  fierce- 
ness of  his  anger.  Wherefore  the

buildeth  an  altar,  32  wri^eth  the  law  on  stones,  33  jyro-

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh-u-a, 
*Fear  not,  neither  be  thou  dis- 
mayed : take  all  the  people  of  war 
with  thee,  and  arise,  go  up  to  A-i : 
see,  have  given  into  thy  hand  the 
king  of  A-i,  and  his  people,  and  his 
city,  and  his  land  : 

2 And  thou  shalt  do  to  Ah  and  her 
king  as  thou  didst  unto  ^Jer-i-cho 
and  her  king : only  ^the  spoil  there- 
of, and  the  cattle  thereof,  shall  ye 
take  for  a prey  unto  yourselves : 
lay  thee  an  ambush  for  the  city 
behind  it. 

3 H So  Jbsh-u-a  arose,  and  all  the 
people  of  war,  to  go  up  against  Ah : 
and  J5sh-u-a  chose  out  thirty  thou- 
sand mighty  men  of  valour,  and 
sent  them  away  by  night. 

4 And  he  commanded  them,  say- 
ing, Behold,  ^We  shall  lie  in  wait 
against  the  city,  even  behind  the 
city  : go  not  very  far  from  thb  city, 
but  be  ye  all  ready : 

5 And  I,  and  all  the  people  that 
are  with  me,  will  approach  unto 
the  city : and  it  shall  corne  to  pass, 
when  they  come  out  against  us,  as

6 (For  they  will  come  out  after  usl 
tfll  we  have  Mrawn  them  from  the 
city ; for  they  will  say,  They  flee 
before  us,  as  at  the  first : therefore 
we  v/ill  flee  before  them. 

7 Then  ye  shall  rise  up  from  the 
ambush,  and  seize  upon  the  city : , 
for  the  Lord  your  God  will  deliver 
it  into  your  hand.. 

8 And  it  shall  be,  when  ye  have 
taken  the  city,  thoft  ye  shall  set  the 
city  on  fire  ; according  to  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  shall  ye  do. 
""See,  I have  commanded  you. 

9 51  Jbsh-u-a  therefore  sent  them 
forth  : and  they  went  to  lie  in  am- 
bush, and  abode  between  Beth'-el 
and  A-i,  on  the  west  side  of  A-i : 
but  J 5sh-u-a  lodged  that  night 
among  the  people. 

10  And  Jbsh-u-a  rose  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  numbered  the 
people,  and  went  up,  he  and  the 
elders  of  Is-r4-el,  before  the  people 
to  A-i. 

11  ^And  all  the  people,  even  the 
'people  of  war  that  tvere  with  him, 
went  up,  and  drew  nigh,  and  came 
before  the  city^  and  pitched  on  the 
north  side  of  A-i : now  there_  was  a 
valley  between  them  and  Ah. 

12  And  he  took  about  five  thou- 
sand men,  and  set  them  to  lie  in 
ambush  between  Beth'-el  and  Ah, 
on  the  west  side  “^of  the  city. 

13  And  when  they  had  set  the 
people,  even  all  the  host  that  wOjS 
on  the  north  of  the  city,  and  ^theii 
liers  in  wait  on  the  west  of  the 
city,  Jbsh-u-a  went  that  night  into 
the  midst  of  the  valley. 

14  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king  of  Ah  saw  it,  that  they 
hasted  and  rose  up  early,  and  the 
men  of  the  city  went  out  against  Is- 
ra-el  to  battle,  he  and  all  his  peo- 
ple, at  a time  appointed,  before  the 
plain;  but  he  ”wist  not  that  there 
were  liers  in  ambush  against  him 
behind  the  city. 

15  And  Jbsh-u-a  and  all  Is-ra-el 
‘'made  as  if  they  were  beaten  before 
them,  and  fled  by  the  way  of  the 
wilderness. 

16_And  all  the  people  that  were 
in  A-i  were  called  together  to  pur- 
sue after  them : and  they  pursued 
after  Josh-u-a,  and  were  drawn  away 
from  the  city. 

17_And  there  was  not  a man  left 
in  A-i  or  Beth'-el,  that  went  not  out 
after  Is-ra-el : and  they  left  the  city 
open,  and  pursued  after  Is'ra-6l. 

1 8 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Jbsh-u-a  , 
Stretch  out  the  spear  that  is  in  thy 
hand  toward  A-i;  for  I will  give 
it  into  thine  hand.  And  Jbshfu-a  .

stretched  out  the  spear  that  he  had 
in  his  hand  toward  the  city. 

19  And  the  ambush  arose  quickly 
out  of  their  place,  and  they  ran  as 
soon  as  he  had  stretched  out  his 
hand:  and  they  entered  into  the 
city,  and  took  it,  and  hasted  and 
set  the  city  on  fire.  „ _ , , 

20  And  when  the  men  of  A-i  looked 
behind  them,  they  saw,  and,  behold, 
the  smoke  of  the  city  ascended  up 
to  heaven,  and  they  had  no  ^ power 
to  flee  this  way  or  that  way : and 
the  people  that  fled  to  the  wilder- 
ness turned  back  upon  the  pursuers. 

21  And  when  Josh-u-aand  all  Is- 
ra-el  saw  that  the  ambush  had  taken 
the  city,  and  that  the  smoke  of  the 
city  ascended,  then  they  turned 
again,  and  slew  the  men  of  Ah. 

22  And  the  other  issued  out  of  the 
city  against  them  ; so  they  were  in 
the  midst  of  Is-ra-el,  some  on  this 
side,  and  some  on  that  side:  and 
they  smote  them,  so  that  they  ^^let 
none  of  them  remain  or  escape. 

23  And  the  king  of  Ah  they  took 
alive,  and  brought  him  to  Josh-u-a. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Is- 
rA6l  had  made  an  end_  of  slaying 
all  the  inhabitants  of  Ah  in  the  field, 
in  the  wilderness  wherein  they 
chased  them,  and  when  they  were 
all  fallen  on  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
until  they  were  consumed,  that  all 
the  Is-ra-el-ites  returned  unto  A-i,

26  For  JOsh-u-a  drew  not  his  hand

7 And  the  men  of  IshA-el  said  un-

9 And  they  said  unto  him,  ®From

11  Wherefore  our  elders  and  all 
the  inhabitants  of  our  country  spake 
to  us,  saying,  Take  victuals  ^with 
you  for  the  journey,  and  go  to  meet 
them,  and  say  unto  them.  We  are 
your  servants : therefore  now  make 
ye  a league  with  us. 

1 2 This  our  bread  we  took  hot  for 
our  provision  out  of  our  houses  on 
the  day  we  came  forth  to  go  unto 
you ; but  now,  behold,  it  is  dry,  and 
it  is  mouldy : 

13  And  these  bottles  of  wine, 

which  we  filled,  were  new;  and, 
behold,  they  be  rent:  and  these 
our  garments  and  our  shoes  are 
become  old  by  reason  of  the  very 
long  journey.  . 

14  And  ®the  men  took  of  their 
victuals,  ''and  asked  not  counsel  at

them,  and  made  a league  with 
them,  to  let  them  live ; and  the

all  the  congregation,  We  have  sworn 
unto  them  by  the  Lord  God  of  Is- 
ra-el:  now  therefore  we  may  not 
touch  them. 

20  This  we  will  do  to  them ; we 
will  even  let  them  live,  lest  ® wrath 
be  upon  us,  because  of  the  oath 
which  we  sware  unto  them. 

21  And  the  princes  said  unto 
them.  Let  them  live;  but  let  them 
be  -^hewers  of  wood  and  drawers  of 
water  unto  all  the  congregation ; as 
the  princes  had  ^promised  them. 

22  ^ And  JOsh-u-a  called  for  them, 
and  he  spake  unto  them,  saying, 
Wherefore  have  ye  beguiled  us, 
saying,  *We  are  very  far  from  you; 
when  *ye  dwell  among  us”? 

23  Now  therefore  ye  are  '''cursed, 
and  there  shall  ^none  of  you  be 
freed  from  being  bondmen,  and 
''hewers  of  wood  and  drawers  of 
water  for  the  house  of  my  God.  ^ 

24  And  they  answered  J5sh-u-a, 
and  said.  Because  it  was  certainly 
told  thy  servants,  how  that  the 
Lord  thy  God  "commanded  his 
servant  Mo-ses  to  give  you  all  the 
land,  and  to  destroy  all  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land  from  before 
you,  therefore  ^we  were  sore  afraid 
of  our  lives  because  of  you,  and 
have  done  this  thing. 

25  And  now,  behold,  we  are  "in 
thine  hand : as  it  seemeth  good  and 
right  unto  thee  to  do  unto  us,  do. 

26  And  so  did  he  unto  them,  and 
delivered  them  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  that  they 
slew  them  not. 

27  And  J6sh-u-a  ^made  them  that 
day  * hewers  of  wood  and  drawers 
of  water  for  the  congregation,  and 
for  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  even  un- 
to this  day,  “in  the  place  which  he 
should  choose. 

CHAPTER  10. 

1 Five  kings  war  against  Gibeon.  6 Joshua  rescueth  it. 
10  God  fighteth  against  them  with  hailstones.  12  The

The  five  kings  are  hanged.  28  Seven  more  kin^s  are 
conquered.  43  Joshua's  return. 

'^TOW  it  came  to  pass,  when 
A-d5nd-ze-dee  king  of  Je-ru- 
sa-lem  had  heard  how  J5sh-u-a 
had  taken  Ah,  and  had  utterly  de- 
stroyed it;  ^as  he  had  done  to 
Jer-i-chjo  and  her  king,  so  he  had 
done  to  ^A-i  and  her  king;  and 
“how  the  inhabitants  of  Gib-e-5n 
had  made  peace  with  Is-ra-6l,  and 
were  among  them; 

2 That  they  "feared  greatly,  be- 
cause Gib-6-5n  was  a great  city,  as 
one  of  the  ® royal  cities,  and  be- 
cause it  was  greater  than  Ah,  and 
all  the  men  thereof  were  mighty. 


222 


Joshua  resaueth  Gibeon.  J OSHUA,  10. Five  Icings  are  kangea. 


3 Wherefore  A-d5n-i~ze-dee  king 
of  Je-ru-sa-lem  sent  onto  Ho-ham 
king  of  He-tu’on,  and  unto  Pi-ram 
king  of  Jar-muth,  and  unto  J a-phi-a 
king  of  La-ehish,  and  unto  De-bir 
king  of  Egd5n,  saying, 

4 Come  up  unto  me,  and  help  me, 
that  we  may  smite  Gib-e-6n:  ‘'for 
it  hath  made  peace  with  J5sh-u-a 
and  with  the  children  of  Isb4-el. 

5 Therefore  the  five  kings  of  the 
Am-6r-ites,  the  king  of  Je-ru-sa- 
lem,  the  king  of  He-bren,  the  king 
of  Jar-muth,  the  king  of  La-chish, 
the  king  of  EgJbn,  ® gathered  them- 
selves together,  and  went  up,  they 
and  all  their  hosts,  and  encamped 
before  Gib-e-bn,  and  made  war  a- 
gainst  it. 

6 U And  the  men  of  Gib-e-5n  sent 
unto  Jbsh-u-a  -^to  the  camp  to  Gil- 
gal,  saying.  Slack  not  thy  hand 
From  thy  servants;  come  up  to  us 
quickly,  and  save  us,  and  help  us : 
for  all  the  kings  of  the  Am-6r-ites 
that  dwell  in  the  mountains  are 
gathered  together  against  us.  _ 

7 So  Jbsh-u-a  ascended  from  Gil- 
gal,  he,  and  ^all  the  people  of  war 
with  him,  and  all  the  mighty  men 
of  valour. 

8 H And  the  Lord  said  unto  Jbsh- 
u-a,  ^ Fear  them  not : for  I have 
delivered  them  into  thine  hand ; 
‘there  shall  not  a man  of  them 
stand  before  thee. 

9 Jbsh-u-a  therefore  came  unto 
them  suddenly,  and  went  up  from 
Gil-gal  all  night. 

10  And  the  Lord  ‘discomfited 
them  before  Is-ra-el,  and  slew  them 
with  a great  slaughter  at  Gib-e-bn, 
and  chased  them  along  the  way 
that  goeth  up  ’^to  Beth-hbAbn,  and 
smote  them  to  ”A-ze-kah,  and  unto 
Mak-ke-dah. 

1 1 And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
fled  from  before  Is-ra-el,  and  were 
in  the  going  down  to  Beth-hb-rbn, 
"that  the  Lord  cast  down  great 
stones  from  heaven  upon  them 
unto  A-ze-kah,  and  they  died:  they 
were  more  which  died  with  hail- 
stones than  they  whom  the  children 
of  Is-ra-bl  slew  with  the  sword. 

1211  Then  spake  Jbsh-u-a  to  the 
Lord  in  the  day  when  the  Lord 
delivered  up  the  Am-6r-ites  before 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  and  he  said 
in  the  sight  of  Is^^ra-bl,  ^Sun,  ^ stand 
thou  still  upon  Gib-6-bn ; and  thou. 
Moon,  in  the  valley  of  ‘Aj-aJbn. 

13  And  the  sun  stood  still,  and 
the  moon  stayed,  until  the  people 
had  avenged  themselves  upon  their 
enemies.  ^Is  not  this  written  in 
the  book  of  ^Ja-sher'?  So  the  sun

stood  still  in  the  midst  of  heaven, 
and  hasted  not  to  go  down  about

14  And  there  was  ®no  day  like  that 
before  it  or  after  it,  that  the  Lord 
hearkened  unto  the  voice  of  a man : 
for  ‘'the  IjORD  fought  for  IsAa-el.

all  IsAa-el  with  him,  unto  the  camp 
to  Gil-gal.

hid  themselves  in  a cave  at  Mak-

17  And  it  was  told  Jbsh-u-a,  say- 
ing, The  five  kings  are  found  hid 
in  a cave  at  Mak-ke-dah. 

18  And  Jbsh-u-a  said.  Boll  great 
stones  upon  the  mouth  of  the  cave, 
and  set  men  by  it  for  to  keep 
them: 

19  And  stay  ye  not,  but  pursue 
after  your  enemies,  and  ^ smite  the 
hindmost  of  them  ; suffer  them  not 
to  enter  into  their  cities : for  the 
Lord  your  God  hath  delivered  them 
into  your  hand. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass,,  when 
Jbsh-u-a  and  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el  had  made  an  end  of  slaying 
them  with  a very  great  slaughter, 
till  they  were  consumed,  that  the 
rest  which  remained  of  them  en- 
tered into  fenced  cities. 

21  And  all  the  people  returned 
to  the  camp  to  Jbsh-u-a  at  Mak- 
ke-dah  in  peace : ‘'none  moved  his 
tongue  a,gainst  any  of  the  children 
of  Is-ra-eL 

22  Then  said  Jbsh-u-a,  Oipen  the 
mouth  of  the  cave,  and  bring  out 
those  five  kings  unto  me  out  of 
the  cave. 

23  And  they  did  so,  and  brought 
forth  those  five  kings  unto  him  out 
of  the  cave,  the  king  of  Je-ru-sa- 
lem,  the  king  of  He-brbn,  the  king 
of  Jar-muth,  the  king  of  La-ehish, 
and  the  king  of  RgJbn. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the^ 
brought  out  those  kings  unto  Jbsh- 
u-a,  that  Jbsh-u-a  called  for  all  the 
men  of  Is-ra-el,  and  said  unto  tlie 
captains  of  the  men  of  war  which 
went  with  him.  Come  near,  ^put 
your  feet  upon  the  necks  of  tlieso 
kings.  And  they  came  near,  and  i )ut 
their  feet  upon  the  necks  of  them. 

25  And  Jbsh-u-a  said  unto  them, 
''Fear  not,  nor  be  dismayed,  be 
strong  and  of  good  courage : for 
« thus  .shall  the  Lord  do  to  all  your 
enemies  against  whom  ye  fight. 

26  And  afterward  Jbsh-u-a  smote 
them,  and  slew  them,  and  hanged 
them  on  five  trees:  and  they  “wero 
hanging  upon  the  trees  until  the 
evening.

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  time 
of  the  going  down  of  the  sun,  tJuit 
J5sh-u-a  commanded,  and  they  ^ took 
them  down  oif  the  trees,  and  cast 
them  into  the  cave  wherein  they 
had  been  hid,  and  laid  great  stones 
in  the  cave’s  mouth,  which  remain 
until  this  very  day. 

28  U And  that  day  J5sh-u-a  took 
Mak-ke-dah,  and  smote  it  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  and  the  king 
thereof  he  utterly  destroyed,  them, 
and  all  the  souls  that  were  therein  ; 
he  let  none  remain ; and  he  did  to 
the  king  of  Mak-kUdah  ‘’as  he  did 
unto  the  king  of  J er-i-eho. 

29  Then  J5sh-u-a  passed  from  Mak- 
ke-dah,  and  all  Ish*a-el  with  him, 
unto  Lib-nah,  and  fought  against 
Lib-nah : 

30  And  the  Lord  delivered  it  also, 
and  the  king  thereof,  into  the  hand 
of  Is-ra-el ; and  he  smote  it  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  and  all  the  souls 
that  were  therein ; he  let  none  re- 
main in  it ; but  did  unto  the  king 
thereof  as  he  did  unto  the  king  of 
Jer-i-eho. 

31  H And  JOsh-u-a  passed  from  Lib- 
nah,  and  all  Is-r4-el  with  him,  unto 
La--ehish,  and  encamped  against  it, 
and  fought  against  it : 

32  And  the  Lord  delivered  La- 
eliish  into  the  hand  of  Is-ra-el, 
which  took  it  on  the  second  day, 
and  smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  all  the  souls  that  were 
therein,  according  to  all  that  he 
had  done  to  Lib-nah. 

33  ^ Then  Ho-ram  king  of  Ge-zer 
came  up  to  help  La-chish ; and 
J5sh-u-a  smote  him  and  his  peo- 
ple, until  he  had  left  him  none 
remaining. 

34  51  And  from  La-ehish  Jbsh-u-a 
passed  unto  EgdDn,  and  all  Ish-a-el 
with  him ; and  they  encamped  a- 
gainst  it,  and  fought  against  it: 

35  And  they  took  it  on  that  day, 
and  smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  all  the  souls  that  ivere 
therein  he  utterly  destroyed  that 
day,  according  to  all  that  he  had 
done  to  La-ehish. 

36  And  Jbsh-u-a  went  up  from 
Egdbn,  and  all  Is-ra-el  with  him, 
unto  «He-br5n;  and  they  fought 
against  it: 

37  And  they  took  it,  and  smote  it 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
the  king  thereof,  and  all  the  cities 
thereof,  and  all  the  souls  that  were 
therein ; he  left  none  remaining, 
according  to  all  that  he  had  done 
to  EgdDn ; but  destroyed  it  ut- 
terly, and  all  the  souls  tliat  were 
therein.

to  the  king  thereof : as  he  had  done

south,  and  of  the  vale,  and  of  the 
springs,  and  all  their  kings  : he  left 
none  remaining,  but  utterly  de- 
stroyed all  that  breathed,  as  the

king  of  Ma-don,  and  to  the  king 
*of  Shimh’on,  and  to  the  king  of

2 And  to  the  kings  that  were  on

and  in  the  valley,  and  in  the  bor-

people  of  war  with  him,  against 
them  by  the  waters  of  Me-rom 
suddenly ; and  they  fell  upon  them. 

8 And  the  Loed  delivered  them 
into  the  hand  of  Is-ra-el,  who  smote 
them,  and  chased  them  unto  ^ great 
Zi-don,  and  unto  * Mis-re-photh-

9 And  J5sh-u-a  did  unto  them  ®as 
the  Loed  bade  him:  he  houghed 
their  horses,  and  burnt  their  char- 
iots with  fire. 

10  ^ And  J5sh-u-a  at  that  time 
turned  back,  and  took  Ha-z6r,  and 
smote  the  king  thereof  with  the 
sword:  for  Ha-z6r  beforetime  was 
the  head  of  all  those  kingdoms. 

11  And  they  smote  all  the  souls 
that  were  therein  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword,  utterly  destroying  them: 
there  was  not  “^any  left  to  breathe : 
and  he  burnt  Ha-z6r  with.  fire. 

12  And  all  the  cities  of  those 
kings,  and  all  the  kings  of  them, 
did  Josh-u-a  take,  and  smote  them 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
he  utterly  destroyed  them,  ^ as 
Mo-ses  the  servant  of  the  Loed 
commanded. 

13  But  as  for  the  cities  that  stood 
still  ^in  their  strength,  Is-ra-el 
burned  none  of  them,  save  Ha-z6r 
only  ; that  did  Josh;U-a  burn. 

14  And  all  the  spoil  of  these  cities,

ra-6l  took  for  a prey  unto  them- 
selves ; but  every  man  they  smote 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  until 
they  had  destroyed  them,  neither 
left  they  any  to  breathe. 

15  U ^As  the  Loed  commanded 
Mo-ses  his  servant,  so  ^did  Mo-ses 
command  JOsh-u-a,  and  ’‘so  did 
Josh-u-a;  ®he  left  nothing  undone 
of  all  that  the  Loed  commanded 
Mo-ses. 

16  So  J^3sh-u-a  took  all  that  land, 

*the  hills,  and  all  the  south  country. 

“and  all  the  land  of  Go-shen,  and 
the  valley,  and  the  plain,  and  the

®all  their  kings  he  took,  and  smote 
them,  and  slew  them. 

18  LJosh-u-a  made  war  a long 
time  with  all  those  kings.

harden  their  hearts,  that  they 
should  come  against  Is-ra-el  in  bat-

utterly,  and  that  they  might  have 
no  favour,  but  that  he  might  de- 
stroy them,  as  the  Loed  com-

rising, ‘’from  Ba-al-gad  under  mount

reigned  in  Hesh-bOn,  unto  the

1 2 All  the  kingdom  of  Og  in  Ba- 
shan,  which  reigned  in  Ash-ta-r6th 
and  in  Ed-re-i,  who  remained  of  ‘’the 
remnant  of  the  giants : ^for  these  did 
Mo-ses  smite,  and  cast  them  out. 

13  Nevertheless  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el  expelled ^ ^ not  the_  Gesh-u- 
rites,^  nor  the  Ma-aeh-a-thites : but 
the  Gesh-u-rites  and  the  Ma-aeh-a- 
thites  dwell  among  the  Is-ra-el-ites 
until  this  day. 

14  ^Only  unto  the  tribe  of  Le-vi 
he  gave  none  inheritance ; the  sac- 
rifices of  the  Lord  God  of  ls-ra-6l 
made  by  fire  are  their  inheritance, 
“as  he  said  unto  them.

30  And  their  coast  was  from  Ma- 

ha-na-im,  all  Ba-shan.  all  the  king- 
dom of  Og  king  of  Ba-shan,  and  “all 
the  towns  of  Ja-ir,  which  are  in  Ba- 
shan,  threescore_  cities  : 

31  And  half  Gil-e-ad,  and  "Ash- 
ta-r5th,  and  Ed-re-i,  cities  of  the 
kingdom  of  Og  in  Ba-shan,  were 
pertaining  unto  the  children  of  ]\Ia- 
ehir  the  son  of  Ma-nas-seh,  even  to 
the  one  half  of  the /'children  of  Ma- 
chir  by  their  families. 

32  These  are  the  countries  which 
Mo-sgs  did  distribute  for  inh  rit- 
ance  in  the  plains  of  Mo-ab,  on  the 
other  side  Jor-dan,  by  Jgrh-cho, 
eastward. 

33  *But  unto  the  tribe  of  Le-vi 
Mo-sgs  gave  not  any  inheritance : 
the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-gl  was  their 
inheritance,  “as  he  said  unto  them. 

CHAPTER  14. 

1 The  nine  tribes  and  a half  are  to  have  their  inheritance 
by  lot.  6 Caleb  obtaineth  Hebron. 

AND  these  are  the  countries  which 
x\.  the  children  of  Is-r4-gl  inherited 
in  the  land  of  Ca-naan,  ^ which  E-lg- 
a-zar  the  priest,  and  Jgsh-u-a  the 
son  of  Nun,  and  the  heads  of  the 
fathers  of  the  tribes  of  the  children 
of  Is-ra-gl,  distributed  for  inherit- 
ance to  them. 

2 *By  lot  was  their  inheritance,  as 
the  Lord  commanded  by  the  hand 
of  Mo-sgs,  for  the  nine  tribes,  and 
for  the  half  tribe. 

3 ^For  Mo-sgs  had  given  the  inher- 
itance of  two  tribes  and  an  half 
tribe  on  the  other  side  Jor-dan : but 
unto  the  Le-vites  he  gave  none  in- 
heritance among  them. 

4 For  ""the  children  of  Jo-sgph 
were  two  tribes,  Ma-nas-sgh  and 
E-phra-im : therefore  they  gave  no 
part  unto  the  Le-vites  in  the  land, 
save  cities  to  dwell  in,  with  their 
suburbs  for  their  cattle  and  for 
their  substance. 

5 “As  the  Lord  commanded  Mo-sgs, 
so  the  children  of  Is-ra-gl  did,  and 
they  divided  the  land. 

6 ^ Then  the  children  of  Jii-dah 
came  unto  Jgsh-u-a  in  Gil-gal:  and 
Cadgb  the  son  of  Jg-phun-ngh  the 
‘^Kgn-gz-Ite  said  unto  him,  Tliou 
knowest  ^ the  thing  that  the  Lord 
said  unto  Mo-sgs  the  man  of  God 
concerning  me  and  thee  ^in  Ka- 
dgsh-barbig-a. 

7 Foi’ty  years  old  was  I when  Mo- 
sgs  the  servant  of  the  Lord  *sent 
me  from  Ka-dgsli-bar-ng-a  to  espy 
out  tlie  land ; and  I b^-ought  him 
word  again  as  it  was  in  mine  heart. 

8 Nevertheless  hny  brethren  that 
went  up  with  me  made  the  heart

of  the  people  melt : but  I wholly 
“followed  the  Lord  my  God. 

9 And  Mo-ses  sware  on  that  day, 
saying,  * Surely  the  land  whereon 
thy  feet  have  trodden  shall  be  thine 
inheritance,  and  thy  children’s  for 
ever,  because  thou  hast  wholly  fol- 
lowed the  Lord  my  God. 

1 0 And  now,  behold,  the  Lord  hath 
kept  me  alive,  ®as  he  said,  these 
forty  and  five  years,  even  since  the 
Lord  spake  this  word  unto  Mo-ses, 
while  me  children  of  Is-ra-el  ^wan- 
dered in  the  wilderness:  and  now, 
lo,  I am  this  day  fourscore  and  five 
years  old. 

1 1 ’‘As  yet  I am  as  strong_  this  day 
as  I teas  in  the  day  that  Mo-ses  sent 
me : as  my  strength  was  then,  even 
so  is  my  strength  now,  for  war,  both 
*to  go  out,  and  to  come  in. 

12  Now  therefore  give  me  this 
mountain,  whereof  the  Lord  spake 
in  that  day ; for  thou  heardest  in 
that  day  how  ‘‘the  An-a-kims  were 
there,  and  that  the  cities  were  great 
and  fenced : ® if  so  be  the  Lord  will 
be  with  me,  then  shall  be  able  to 
drive  them  out,  as  the  Lord  said. 

13  And  J5sh-u-a  ‘’blessed  him,  *and 
gave  unto  Gadeb  the  son  of  J e-phtin- 
neh  He-br5n  for  an  inheritance. 

14  “He-bron  therefore  became  the 
inheritance  of  -Gadeb  the  son  of  J e- 
phun-neh  the  Ken-ez-ite  unto  this 
day,  because  that  he  ^wholly  fol- 
lowed the  Lord  God  of  Isd-a-el. 

15  And  “the  name  of  He-brpn 
before  was  Kir-jath-ar-ba ; which 
Ar'-hk  was  a great  man  among  the 
An-a-kims.  ’’And  the  land  had  rest 
from  war.

T'HIS  then  was  the  lot  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Ju-dah 
by  their  families;  ^even  to  the  bor- 
der of  E-d5m  the  wilderness  of  Zin 
southward  was  the  uttermost  part 
of  the  south  coast. 

2  And  their  south  border  was  from 
the  shore  of  the  salt  sea,  from  the 
^bay  that  looketh  southward : 

3  And  it  went  out  to  the  south 
side  Ho  =^Ma-al-eh-a-crab-bim,  and 
passed  along  to  Zin,  and  ascended 
up  on  the  south  side  unto  Ka-d6sh- 
bar-ne-a,  and  passed  along  to  Hez- 
r5n,  and  went  up  to  A-dar,  and 
fetched  a compass  to  Kar-ka-a: 

4  From  thence  it  passed  Howard 
Az-m5n,  and  went  out  unto  the  river 
of  E-gypt;  and  the  goings  out  of 
that  coast  were  at  the  sea:  this 
shall  be  your  south  coast.

5 And  the  east  border  was  the 
salt  sea,  even  unto  the  end  of  Jor- 
dan. And  their  border  in  the  north 
quarter  was  from  the  bay  of  the 
sea  at  the  uttermost  part  of  Jor- 
dan: 

6 And  the  border  went  up  to 
‘^Beth-hOgda,  and  passed  along  by 
the  north  of  Beth-ar-a-bah ; and 
the  border  went  up  ■’'to  the  stone

7 And  the  border  went  up  toward

and  so  northward,  looking  toward 
Gil-gal,  that  is  before  the  going 
up  to  A-dum-mim,  which  is  on  the

8 And  the  border  went  up  ’by  the 
valley  of  the  son  of  Hin-n5ni  unto 
the  south  side  of  the  ‘”JebH-site; 
the  same  is  Je-ru-sa-lem:  and  the

mountain  that  lieth  before  the  val- 
ley of  Hin-n5m  westward,  which 
is  at  the  end  ^ of  the  valley  of  the 
giants  northward  : 

9 And  the  border  was  drawn  from 
the  top  of  the  hill  unto  Hhe^ 
tain  of  the  water  of  NephH6-ah, 
and  went  out  to  the  cities  of  mount 
E-phr6n ; and  the  border  was  draw^n 
’’’to  Ba-M-ah,  which  is  ^Kir-jath-je- 
a-rim :

and  passed  along  unto  the  side  of 
mount  Je-a-rim,  which  is  Ghes-a- 
lon,  on  the  north  side,  and  went 
down  to  Beth-she-mesh,  and  passed 
on  to  °Tim-nah: 

1 1 And  the  border  went  out  unto 
the  side  of  ‘^EkHen  northward  and 
the  border  was  drawn  to  ShicHOn, 
and  passed  along  to  mount  Ba-al-aR 
and  went  out  unto  Jab-neel;  and 
the  goings  out  of  the  border  were 
at  the  sea. 

12  And  the  west  border  was  ^to 
the  great  sea,  and  the  coast  thereof. 
This  is  the  coast  of  the  children 
of  Ju-dMi  round  about  according  to 
their  families. 

13  H ’‘And  unto  Gadeb  the  son  of

came  unto  him,  that  she  moved  him

AND  the  lot  of  the  children  of 
Jo-seph  ‘-^fell  from  J6r-dan  by 
Jer4-eho,  unto  the  water  of  J erh-eho 
on  the  east,  to  the  wilderness  that 
goeth  up  from  Jer4-cho  throughout

coast  of  _ Beth-hoA5n  the  nether, 
and  to  -^Ge-zer  : and  the  goings  out 
thereof  are  at  the  sea. 

4 ^So  the  children  of  Jo-seph,  Ma- 
nAs-seh  and  E-phra-im,  took  their 
inheritance. 

5 ^ And  the  border  of  the  chil-

of  their  inheritance  on  the  east  side 
was  *At-a-r5th-M-dar,  ^unto  Beth- 
hoASn  the  upper ; 

6 And  the  border  went  out  to- 
ward the  sea  to  ”"Mich-me-thah  on 
the  north  side ; and  the  border 
went  about  eastward  unto  Ta-a- 
nath-shi-loh,  and  passed  by  it  on

7 And  it  went  down  froin  Ja-no- 
hah  to  At-a-r5th,  ^and  to  Na-a-rath, 
and  came  to  Jer4-cho,  and  went  out 
at  J or-dan. 

8 The  border  went  out  from  Tap-

of  ^A-bi-e-zer,  and  for  the  children 
of  Hedek,  “and  for  the  children  of 
As^ri-el,  and  for  the  children  of 
She-ehem,  *and  for  the  children  of 
Hefpher,  and  for  the  children  of 
iShe-miMa : these  were  the  male 
children  of  Ma-nas-seh  the  son  of 
Jo-seph  by  their  families. 

3_1T  But  ‘^ZAlo-phe-had,  the  son  of 
He-pher,  the  son  of  Gil-e-ad,  the 
son  of  Ma-chir,  the  son  of  Ma-nas- 
seh,  had  no  sons,  but  daughters: 
and  these  are  the  names  of  his 
daughters,  MMidah,  and  No-ah, 
Hogdah,  Mil-cah,  and  Tir-zah. 

4 And  they  came  near  before 
^E-lAa-zar  the  priest,  and  before 
J5sh-u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  before 
the  princes,  saying,  *The  Lokd  com- 
manded Mo-ses  to  give  us  an  in- 
heritance among  our  brethren. 
Therefore  according  to  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  he  gave 
them  an  inheritance  among  the 
brethren  of  their  father. 

5 And  there  fell  ten  portions  to 
Ma-nas-seh,  beside  the  land  of 
Gil-e-ad  and  Ba-shan,  which  were 
on  the  other  side  Jor-dan; 

6 Because  the  daughters  of  Ma- 
nas-seh  had  an  inheritance  amon^ 
his  sons : and  the  rest  of  Ma-nas- 
seh’s  sons  had  the  land  of  Gil-e-ad. 

7 U And  the  coast  of  Ma-nas-seh 
was  from  Ash-er  to  ‘’Mi-eh-me-thah, 
that  lieth  before  She-chem;  and 
the  border  went  along  on  the 
right  hand  unto  the  inhabitants 
of  En-tap-pu-ah. 

8 Now  Ma-nas-seh  had  the  land  of 
Tap-pu-ah : but  ^Tap-pu-ah  on  the 
border  of  Ma-nas-seh  belonged  to 
the  children  of  E-phra-im ; 

9 And  the  coast  descended  *unto 
the  driver  Ka-nah,  southward  of  the 
river  : Hhese  cities  of  E-phra-im  are 
among  the  cities  of  Ma-nas-seh : the 
coast  of  Ma-nas-seh  also  was  on  the 
north  side  of  the  river,  and  the  out- 
goings of  it  were  at  the  sea : 

10  Southward  it  was  E-phra-im’s, 
and  northward  it  was  Ma-nas-seh’s, 
and  the  sea  is  his  border ; and  they 
met  together  in  Ash-er  on  the  north, 
and  in  Is-sa-char  on  the  east. 

11  "'And  Ma-nas-seh  had  in  Is-sa- 
char  and  in  Ash-er  ^^Beth-she-an 
and  her  towns,  and  Ib-le-am  and 
her  towns,  and  the  inhabitents  of 
Ddr  and  her  towns,  and  the  inhabit- 
ants of  En  -d6r  and  her  towns,  and 
the  inhabitants  of  Ta-a-nach  and 
her  towns,  and  the  inhabitants  of 
Me-gid-do  and  her  towns,  even 
three  countries. 

12  Yet  ‘*the  children  of  Ma-nas-s6h 
could  not  drive  out  the  mhabitanU

o/ those  cities ; but  the  -Ga-naan-ites 
would  dwell  in  that  land. 

13  Yet  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
children  of  IsYa-el  were  waxen 
strong,  that  they  put  the  -Ga-naan- 
ites  to  ® tribute ; but  did  not  utterly 
drive  them  out. 

14  ^And  the  children  of  Jo-seph 
spake  unto  Josh-u-a,  saying,  Why 
hast  thou  given  me  hut  -^one  lot  and 
one  portion  to  inherit,  seeing  I am 
""a  great  people,  forasmuch  as  the 
Loed  hath  blessed  me  hitherto  1

thee  up  to  the  wood  country,  and 
cut  down  for  thyself  there  in  the 
land  of  the  Per-iz-zites  and  of  the 
^giants,  if  mount  E-phra-im  be  too 
narrow  for  thee.

AND  the  whole  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Is-_ra-el  assem- 
bled together  °at  Shidoh,  and  ^set 
up  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion there.  And  the  land  was  sub-

their  coast  on  the  south,  and  ^the 
house  of  Jo-seph  shall  abide  in 
their  coasts  on  the  north. 

6 Ye  shall  therefore  describe  the 
land  into  seven  parts,  and  bring  the 
description  hither  to  me,  ‘^that  I 
may  cast  lots  for  you  here  before 
the  Loed  our  God. 

7 ^But  the  Le-vites  have  no  part 
among  you ; for  the  priesthood  of 
the  Loed  is  their  inheritance  : %nd 
Gad,  and  Reu-ben,  and  half  the 
tribe  of  Ma-nas-seh,  have  received 
their  inheritance  beyond  J6r-dan 
on  the  east,  which  Mo-ses  the  serv- 
ant of  the  Loed  gave  them. 

8 H And  the  men  arose,  and  went 
away:  and  J5sh-u-a  charged  them 
that  went  to  describe  the  land, 
saying,  Go  and  walk  through  the 
land,  and  describe  it,  and  come 
again  to  me,  that  I may  here  cast 
lots  for  you  before  the  Loed  in 
Shidoh. 

9 And  the  men  went  and  jiassed 
through  the  land,  and  described  it 
by  cities  into  seven  parts  in  a book, 
and  GSimQ  again  to  J5sh-u-a  to  the 
host  at  Shidoh. 

10  H And  _J5sh-u-a  cast  lots  for 
them  in  Shidoh  before  the  Loed  : 
and  there  J6sh-u-a  divided  the  land 
unto  the  children  of  IsYa-el  accord- 
ing to  their  divisions. 

1 1 H And  the  lot  of  the  tribe  of 
the  children  of  Benda-rnin  came 
up  according  to  their  families  : and 
the  coast  of  their  lot  came  forth  be- 
tween the  children  of  Ju-dah  and 
the  children  of  Jo-seph. 

1 2 "And  their  border  on  the  north 
side  was  from  J6r-dan  ; and  the  bor- 
der went  up  to  the  side  of  Jerd-eho 
on  the  north  side,  and  went  up 
through  the  mountains  westward; 
and  the  goings  out  thereof  were  at 
the  wilderness  of  Beth-a-ven. 

13  And  the  border  went  oyer 
from  thence  toward  Luz,  to  the  side 
of  Liiz,  ^ which  is  Beth'-el,  south- 
ward ; and  the  border  descended  to 
At-a-r5th-a-dar,  near  the  hill  that 
lieth  on  the  south  side  ’'of  the 
nether  Beth-hoYon, 

14  And  the  border  was  drawn 
thence,  and  compassed  the  corner 
of  the  sea  southward,  from  the  hill 
that  lieth  before  Beth-hoYon  south- 
ward ; and  the  goings  out  ther''of 
were  at  Kir-jath-baYl,  which  is

quarter.

west,  and  went  out  to  “the  well  of

before  Hhe  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin-

17  And  was  drawn  from  the  north, 
and  went  forth  to  En-she-m6sh,  and 
went  forth  toward  Gel-i-loth,  which 
is  over  against  the  going  up  of 
A-dumhnim,  and  descended  to  ‘^the 
stone  of  Bo-han  the  son  of  Reu-ben, 

18  And  passed  along  toward  the 
side  over  against  '"Ar-a-bali^  north- 
ward, and  went  down  unto  Ar-a-bah: 

1 9 And  the  border  passed  along 
to  the  side  of  Beth-hOgdah  north- 
ward: and  the  outgoings  of  the 
border  were  at  the  north  ^bay  of 
the  salt  sea  at  the  south  end  of 
J6r-dan:  this  ivas  the  south  coast. 

20  And  Jor-dan  was  the  border  of 
it  on  the  east  side.  This  was  the 
inheritance  of  the  children  of  Ben- 
ja-min,  by  the  coasts  thereof  round 
about,  according  to  their  families. 

21  Now  the  cities  of  the  tribe  of

ing to  their  families  were  Jerd-eho,

cording to  their  families,  these  cit-

32  ^ The  sixth  lot  came  out  to 
the  children  of  Naph-ta-h,  even  for 
the  children  of  Napli-ta-h  according

unto  La-ktim;  and  the  outgoings

39  This  is  the  inheritance  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Naph-ta-li 
according  to  their  families,  the 
cities  and  their  villages. 

40  ^ And  the  seventh  lot  came 
out  for  the  tribe  of  the  children  of 
Dan  according  to  their  families. 

41  And  the  coast  of  their  inherit- 
ance was  Zo-rah,  and  Esh-ta-5l,  and 
Ir-she-mesh, 

42  And  “Sha-al-ab-bm,  and  Aj-a-

with  the  border  ^before  ^Ja-ph6. 

47  And  Hhe  coast  of  the  children 
of  Dan  went  out  too  little  for  them : 
therefore  the  children  of  Dan  went 
up  to  fight  against  Le-shem,  and 
took  it,  and  smote  it  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  and  possessed  it,  and 
dwelt  therein,  and  called  Le-shein, 
‘^Dan,  after  the  name  of  Dan  their 
father. 

48  This  is  the  inheritance  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Dan  accord- 
ing to  their  families,  these  cities 
with  their  villages. 

49  ^ When  they  had  made  an  end 
of  dividing  the  land  for  inheritance 
by  their  coasts,  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el  gave  an  inheritance  to  J 6sh-u-a 
the  son  of  Ntin  among  them: 

50  According  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord  they  gave  him  the  city  which 
he  asked,  even  ■^Tim-nath-^se-rah 
in  mount  E-phra-im : and  he  built 
the  city,  and  dv/elt  therein. 

51  '‘These  are  the  inheritances, 
which  E-le-a-zar  the  priest,  and 
Josh-u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  the 
heads  of  the  fathers  of  the  tribes 
of  the  children  of  IsbA-el,  divided 
for  an  inheritance  by  lot  *in  ShiToh 
before  the  Lord,  at  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation.  So 
they  made  an  end  of  dividing  the 
country. 

CHAPTER  20.

shall  take  him  into  the  city  unto 
them,  and  give  him  a place,  that 
he  may  dwell  among  them. 

5 ®And  if  the  avenger  of  blood 
pursue  after  him,  then  they  shall 
not  deliver  the  slayer  up  into  his 
hand ; because  he  smote  his  neigh- 
bour unwittingly,  and  hated  him 
not  beforetime. 

6 And  he  shall  dwell  in  that  city, 
until  he  stand  before  the  congre-

be  in  those  days : then  shall  the 
slayer  return,  and  C9me  unto  his 
own  city,  and.  unto  his  own  house, 
unto  the  city  from  whence  he  fled. 

7  ^ And  they  ^appointed  *Ke^desh 
in  Gal-i-lee  in  mount  Naph-tAli,  and

unto  their  tents,  then  he  blessed 
them, 

8 And  he  spake  unto  them,  saying. 
Return  with  much  riches  unto  your 
tents,  and  with  very  much  cattle, 
with  silver,  and  with  gold,  and  with 
brass,  and  with  iron,  and  with  very 
much  raiment : divide  the  spoil  of 
your  enemies  with  your  brethren. 

9 U And  the  children  of  Reu-ben 
and  the  children  of  Gad  and  the 
half  tribe  of  Ma-nas-seh  returned, 
and  departed  from  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el  out  of  Shidoh,  which  is  in 
the  land  of  Ua-naan,  to  go  unto  ^the 
country  of  Gil-e-ad,  to  the  land  of 
their  possession,  whereof  they  were 
possessed,  according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord  by  the  hand  of  Mo-ses. 

10  ^ And  when  they  came  unto 
the  borders  of  J6r-dan,  that  are  in 
the  land  of  -Ga-naan,  the  children  of 
Reu-ben  and  the  children  of  Gad 
and  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas-seh 
built  there  an  altar  by  J6r-dan,  a 
great  altar  to  see  to. 

'HU  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
”^heard  say,  Behold,  the  children  of 
Reu-ben  and  the  children  of  Gad 
and  the  _ half  tribe  of  Ma-nas^seh 
have  built  an  altar  ^ over  against 
the  land  of  -Ga-naan,  in  the  borders 
of  JdrHan.  at  the  passage  of  the 
children  oi  Is-ra-el. 

12  And  when  the  children  of  Is-

gregation of  the  children  of  Ish’a-

Shl-loh,  to  go  up  to  war  against

“each  one  was  an  head  of  the  house

15  ^ And  they  came  unto  the 
children  of  Reu-ben,  and  to  the 
children  of  Gad,  and  to  the  half

of  Gil-e-ad,  and  they  spake  with 
them,  saying, 

1 6 Thus  saith  the  whole  congrega- 
tion of  the  Lord,  What  trespass  is 
this  that  ye  haye  committed  against 
the  God  of  Is-ra-6l,  to  turn  away  this 
day  from  following  the  Lord,  in 
that  ye  have  builded  you  an  altar, 
® that  ye  might  rebel  this  day  against 
the  LordI 

17  /s  the  iniquity  fof  Pe-6r  too 
little  for  us,  from  which  we  are  not 
cleansed  until  this  day,  although 
there  was  a plague  in  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  Lord, 

18  But  that  ye  must  turn  away 
this  day  from  following  the  Lord  1 
and  it  will  be,  seeing  ye  rebel  to 
day  against  the  Lord,  that  to  mor- 
row^ he  will  be  wroth  with  the  whole 
congregation  of  Is-ra-el. 

19  Notwithstanding,  if  the  land  of 
your  possession  he  unclean,  then  pass 
ye  over  unto  the  land  of  the  pos- 
session of  the  Lord,  * wherein  the 
Lord’s  tabernacle  dwelleth,  and 
take  possession  among  us : but  re- 
bel not  against  the  Lord,  nor  rebel 
against  us,  in  building  you  an  altar 
beside  the  altar  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

20  ^Did  not  A-chan  the  son  of 
Ze-rah  commit  a trespass  in  the 
accursed  thing,  and  wrath  fell  on 
all  the  congregation  of  Is-ra-eH 
and  that  man  perished  not  alone 
in  his  iniquity. 

21  11  Then  the  children  of  Reu-ben

half  tribe  of  Ma-nas-seh  answered,

in  rebellion,  or  if  in  transgression 
against  the  Lord,  (save  us  not  this 
day,)

before  his  death. 


I  dan  a border  between  us  and  you, 

I ye  children  of  Keu-ben  and  children 
' of  Gad ; ye  have  no  part  in  the 
i Lord  : so  shall  your  children  make 
i our  children  cease  from  fearing  the 

I Lord.  .it. 

i 26  Therefore  we  said.  Let  us  now 

E repare  to  build  us  an  altar,  not  for 
urnt  offering,  nor  for  sacrifice : 

27  But  that  it  riay  “a  witness 
i between  us,  and  you,  and  our  gen- 
! erations  after  us,  that  we  might " do 
I the  service  of  the  Lord  before  him 
I with  our  burnt  offerings,  and  with 
our  sacrifices,  and  with  our  peace 
' offerings ; that  your  children  may 
i not  say  to  our  children  in  time  to 
I come.  Ye  have  no  part  in  the  Lord. 
j 28  Therefore  said  we,  that  it  shall 
I be,  when  they  should  so  say  to  us 
i or  to  our  generations  in  time  to 
! come,  that  we  may  say  again,  Be- 
! hold  the  pattern  of  the  altar  of  the 
Lord,  which  our  fathers  made,  not 
for  burnt  offerings,  nor  for  sacri- 
fices; but  it  is  a witness  between 
us  and  you. 

29  God  forbid  that  we  should  re- 
bel against  the  Lord,  and  turn  this 
day  from  following  the  Lord,  '‘^to 
. build  an  altar  for  burnt  offerings, 
for  meat  offerings,  or  for  sacrifices, 

! beside  the  altar  of  the  Lord  our 
God  that  is  before  his  tabernacle. 
30  H And  when  Phin-e-has  the 
priest,  and  the  princes  of  the  con- 
: gregation  and  heads  of  the  thou- 
: sands  of  Is-ra-el  which  were  with

dren of  Reu-ben  and  the  children 
; of  Gad  and  the  children  of  Ma-nas- 
s6h  spake,  ^ it  pleased  them. 

! 31  And  Phin-e-has  the  son  of  E-le-

' dren  of  Reu-b6n,  and  to  the  children

: the  Lord  is  ^ among  us,  because  ye 
have  not  committed  this  trespass 
against  the  Lord:  ®now  ye  have 
delivered  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  Lord. 

32  II  And  Phin-e-has  the  S9n  of 
E-l6-a-zar  the  priest,  and  the  princes, 

, returned  from  the  chddren  of  Reu-

i out  of  the  land  of  Gil-6-ad,  unto  the 
' land  of  -Ga-naan,  to  the  children  of 
I I§-ra-6l,  and  brought  them  word 
I again. 

! 33  And  the  thing  pleased  the  chil-

i of  I§-ra-6l  ^blessed  God,  and  did  not 
' intend  to  go  up  against  them  in

CHAPTER  23. 

1 Joshua’s  exhortation  before  his  death,  3 by  former  bene- 
fits, 5 by  promises,  11  and  by  threatenings. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  a long  time 
after  that  the  Lord  *had  given 
rest  unto  Is-ra-el  from  all  their 
enemies  round  about,  that  J 5sh-u-a 
waxed  old  and  ^stricken  in  age. 

2 And  J5sh-u-a  ® called  for  all  Is- 
ra-el,  and  for  their  elders,  and  for 
their  heads,  and  for  their  judges, 
and  for  their  officers,  and  said  unto 
them,  I am  old  and  stricken  in  age : 

3 And  ye  have  seen  all  that  the 
Lord  your  God  hath  done  unto  all 
these  nations  because  of  you ; for 
the  -^Lord  your  God  is  he  that  hath 
fought  for  you. 

4 Behold,  have  divided  unto  you 
by  lot  these  nations  that  remain,  to 
be  an  inheritance  for  your  tribes, 
from  Jor-dan,  with  all  the  nations 
that  I have  cut  off,  even  unto  the 
great  sea  ^westward. 

5 And  the  Lord  your  God,  ffie  shall 
expel  them  from  before  you,  and 
drive  them  from  out  of  your  sight ; 
and  ye  shall  possess  their  land,  * as 
the  Lord  your  God  hath  promised 
unto  you. 

6 'Be  ye  therefore  very  coura- 
geous to  keep  and  to  do  all  that 
is  written  in  the  book  of  the  law 
of  Mo^es,  ""that  ye  turn  not  aside 
therefrom  to  the  right  hand  or  to 
the  left; 

7 That  ye  ”come  not  am.ong  these 
nations,  these  that  remain  among 
you  ; neither  "make  mention  of  the 
name  of  their  gods,  nor  cause  to 
swear  by  them,  neither  serve  them, 
nor  bow  yourselves  unto  them  : 

8 •'^But  cleave  unto  the  Lord  your 
God,  as  ye  have  done  unto  this  day. 

9 ’’For’'  the  Lord  hath  driven  out 
from  before  you  great  nations  and 
strong:  but  as  for  you.  "no  man 
hath  been  able  to  stand  before  you 
unto  this  day. 

10  ' One  man  of  you  shall  chase  a 
thousand : for  the  Lord  your  God, 
he  it  is  that  fighteth  for  you,  “as  he 
hath  promised  you. 

1 1 *Take  good  heed  therefore  unto 
^yourselves,  that  ye  love  the  Lord 
your  God. 

12  Else  if  ye  do  in  any  wise  ^go 
back,  and  cleave  unto  the  remnant 
of  these  nations,  even  these  tint  i-e- 
main  among  you,  and  shall  “make 
marriages  with  them,  and  go  in 
unto  them,  and  they  to  you  :

13  Know  for  a certainty  that  “the 
Lord  your  God  will  no  more  drive 
out  any  of  these  nations  from  be- 
fore you ; ®but  they  shall  be  snares 
and  traps  unto  you,  and  scourges 
in  your  sides,  and  thorns  in  your 
eyes,  until  ye  perish  from  off  this 
good  land  which  the  Lord  your 
God  hath  given  you. 

14  And,  behold,  this  day  am 
going  the  way  of  all  the  earth  : and 
ye  know  in  all  your  hearts  and  in 
all  your  souls,  that  ^not  one  thing 
hath  failed  of  all  the  good  things 
which  the  Lord  your  God  spake 
concerning  you ; all  are  come  to 

ss  unto  you,  and  not  one  thing 
ath  failed  thereof. 

15  ^Therefore  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  that  as  all  good  things  are 
come  upon  you,  which  the  Lord 
your  God  promised  you ; so  shall 
the  Lord  bring  upon  you  ^all  evil 
things,  until  he  have  destrojyed 
you  from  off  this  good  land  which 
the  Lord  your  God  hath  given 
you. 

1 6 When  ye  have  transgressed  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  your  God, 
which  he  commanded  you,  and 
have  gone  and  served  other  gods, 
and  bowed  yourselves  to  them ; 
then  shall  the  anger  of  the  Lord  be 
kindled  against  you,  and  ye  shall 
perish  quickly  from  off  the  good 
land  which  he  hath  given  unto  you. 

CHAPTER  24. 

1 Joshua  assembleth  the  tribes  at  Shechem.  2 A brief 
history  of  God's  benefits  from  Terah.  14  The  coveiiant 
renewed.  26  The  stone  of  witness.  29  Joshua's  death 
and  burial.  32  Joseph's  bones  are  buried. 

AND  J5sh-u-a  gathered  all  the 
x\.  tribes  of  Is-ra-el  to  ^ Shechem, 
and  * called  for  the  elders  of  Is-ra-el, 
and  for  their  heads,  and  for  their 
judges,  and  for  their  officers ; and 
they  ® presented  themselves  before 
God. 

2 And  J5sh-u-a  said  unto  all  the 
people.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is-ra-el,  ®Your  fathers  dwelt  on  the 
other  side  of  the  flood  in  old  time, 
even  TeYah,  the  father  of  A-bra- 
ham,  and  the  father  of  Na-chdr : 
and  Hhey  served  other  gods._ 

3 And  H took  your  father  A- bra- 
ham  from  the  other  side  of  the 
flood,  and  led  him  throughout  all 
the  land  of  Caffiaan,  and  multiplied 
his  seed,  and  "gave  him  I-saac^ 

4 And  I gave  unto  I-saac  ^Ja-c5b 
and  E-sau  : and  I gave  unto  ^E-sau

and  horsemen  unto  the  Red  sea. 

7 And  when  they  ^ cried  unto 
the  Lord,  ^he  put  darkness  be- 
Dveen  you  and  the  E-g^-tians, 
*and  brought  the  sea  upon  them, 
and  covered  them ; and  *your  eyes 
have  seen  what  I have  done  in 
E%ypt : and  ye  dwelt  in  the  wil- 
derness long  season. 

8 And  I brought  you  into  the  land 
of  the  Am-6r-ites,  which  dwelt  on 
the  other  side  Jor-dan ; ”and  they 
fought  with  you  : and  I gave  them 
into  your  hand,  that  ye  might  pos- 
sess their  land;  and  I destroyed 
them  from  before  you. 

9 Then  ^Badak  the  son  of  Zip-pdr, 
king  of  Mo-ab,  arose  and  warred 
against  IsYa-el,  and  ^ sent  and  called 
Badaam  the  son  of  Be-6r  to  curse 
you  : 

10  *But  I would  not  hearken  unto 
BaTaam ; ^therefore  he  blessed  you 
still : so  I delivered  you  out  of  his 
hand. 

1 1 And  “ye  went  over  Jor-dan,  and 
came  unto  Jer-i-eho  : and  "'^the  men 
of  Jerd-eho  fought  against  you,  the 
Am-6r-ites,  and  the  Perdz-zites,  _and 
the  -Ga-naan-ites.  and  the  Hit-tites, 
and  the  Gir-ga-shites,  the  Hi-vites, 
and  the  Jeb-u-sites  ; and  I delivered 
them  into  your  hand. 

12  And  sent  the  hornet  before 
you,  which  drave  them  out  from 
before  you,_  even  the  two  kings  of 
the  Am-6r-ites ; but  “not  with  thy 
sword,  nor  with  thy  bow. 

13  And  I have  given  you  a land 
for  which  ye  did  not  labour,  and 
‘^cities  which  ye  built  not,  and  ye 
dwell  in  them ; of  the  vineyards 
and  oliveyards  which  ye  planted 
not  do  ye  eat. 

1 4 H •''Now  therefore  fear  the  Lord, 
and  serve  him  in  s' sincerity  and 
in  truth : and  ^ put  away  the  gods 
which  your  fathers  served  on  the 
other  side  of  the  flood,  and  *in 
E-gypt ; and  serve  ye  the  Lord. 

1 5 And  if  it  seem  evil  unto  you  to 
serve  the  Lord, “'choose  you  this  day 
whom  ye  will  serve ; whether  “the 
gods  which  your  fathers  served  that 
were  on  the  other  side  of  the  flood, 
or  “the  gods  of  the  Am-6r-ites,  in 
whose  land  ye  dwell : * but  as  for 
me  and  my  house,  we  will  serve  the 
Lord. 

16  And  the  people  answered  and 
said,  God  forbid  that  we  should

forsake  the  Loko,  to  serve  other 
gods ; 

17  For  the  Loed  our  God,  he  it  is 
that  brought  us  up  and  our  fathers 
out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  from  the 
house  of  bondage,  and  which  did 
those  great  signs  in  our  sight,  and 
preserved  us  in  all  the  way  wherein 
we  went,  and  among  all  the  people 
through  whom  we  passed : 

18  And  the  Lord  drave  out  from 
before  us  all  the  people,  even  the 
Am-6r-ites  which  dwelt  in  the  land : 
therefore  will  we  also  serve  the 
Lord  ; for  he  is  our  God. 

19  And  Josh-u-a  said  unto  the 
people,  ^Ye  cannot  serve  the  Lord: 
for  he  is  an  * holy  God ; he  is  * a 
jealous  God  ; ^ he  will  not  forgive 
your  transgressions  nor  your  sins. 

20  ”*If  ye  forsake  the  Lord,  and 
serve  strange  gods,  ’^then  he  will 
turn  and  do  you  hurt,  and  consume 
you,  after  that  he  hath  done  you 
good. 

21  And  the  people  said  unto  J5sh- 
u-a.  Nay ; but  we  will  serve  the 
Lord. 

22  And  J5sh;u-a  said  unto  the  peo- 
ple, Ye  are  witnesses  against  your- 
selves that  ^ye  have  chosen  you 
the  Lord,  to  serve  him.  And  they 
said,  W e are  witnesses. 

23  Now  therefore  *put  away,  said 
he,  the  strange^  gods  which  are 
among  you,  and  incline  your  heart 
unto  the  Lord  God  of  IsYa-6l. 

24  And  the  people  said  unto  Jdsh- 
u-a.  The  Lord  our  God  will  we 
serve,  and  his  voice  will  we  obey. 

25  So  J(3sh-u-a  *made  a covenant 
with  the  people  that  day,  and  set 
them  a statute  and  an  ordinance 
* in  She-chem.

the  Per-iz-zites  into  their  liand  : and 
they  slew  of  them  in  ‘'BeYgk  ten

7 And  A-d5n4-be-zek  said.  Three-

thumbs  and  their  great  toes  cut 
off,  ^gathered  their  meat  under  my 
table  : ‘'as  I have  done,  so  God  hath 
requited  me.  And  they  brought  him 
to  JAru-sa-lem,  and  there  he  died. 

8 Now  ®the  children  of  Ju-dah  had 
fought  against  JAru-sa-lem,  and  had 
taken  it,  and  smitten  it  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  and  set  the  city 
on  fire. 

9 ^f/And  afterward  the  children 
of  Ju-dah  went  down  to  fight  a- 
gainst  the  Ua-naan-ites,  that  dwelt 
in  the  mountain,  and  in  the  south, 
and  in  the  ^valley. 

10  And  Ju-dah  went  against  the 
■Ga-naan-ites  that  dwelt  in  He-br6n : 
(now  the  name  of  He-br5n  before 
was  UGr-jath-ar-ba_:)  and  they  slew 
She-shai,  and  A-hi-man,  and  Tal- 
mai. 

11  ""And  from  thence  he  went 
against  the  inhabitants  of  De-bir : 
and  the  name  of  De-bir  before  was 
Kir-jath-se-pher : 

12  ‘’And  Gadeb  said.  He  that  smit- 
eth  Kirqath-se-pher,  and  taketh  it, 
to  him  will  I give  Ach-sah  my 
daughter  to  wife. 

13  And  Oth-ni-el  the  son  of  Ke- 
naz,  ^Gadeb’s  younger  brother,  took 
it : and  he  gave  him  Ach-sah  his 
daughter  to  wife. 

14  ’’And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
she  came  to  him,  that  she  moved 
him  to  ask  of  her  father  a field : 
and  she  lighted  from  off  her  ass  ; 
and  Gadeb  said  unto  her,  What

15  And  she  said  unto  him,  ®Give 
me  a blessing : for  thou  hast  given 
me  a south  land ; give_  me  also

her  the  upper  springs  and  the  ne- 
ther springs. 

16  H ‘And  the  children  of  the 
Kendte,  Mo-ses’  father  in  law,  went 
up  out  ^^of  the  city  of  palm  trees

the  wilderness  of  Ju-dah,  which 
lieth  in  the  south  of  ^ AdM ; ^ and 
they  went  and  dwelt  among  the

10  And  also  all  that  generation 
were  gathered  unto  their  fathers: 
and  there  arose  another  generation 
after  them,  which  “knew  not  the 
Lord,  nor  yet  the  works  which  he 
had  done  for  Is-ra-el. 

11  U And  the  children  of  IshA-el 
did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
and  served  BaAl-im: 

12  And  they  “forsook  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers,  which  brought 
them  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  and 
followed  -Mother  gods,  of  the  gods  of 
the  people  that  were  round  about 
them,  and  '‘bowed  themselves  unto 
them,  and  provoked  the  Lord  to 
anger. 

13  And  they  forsook  the  Lord, 
*and  served  Ba-al  and  Ash-ta-r5th. 

14  11  'And  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  hot  against  IshA-el,  and  he 
^delivered  them  into  the  hands  of 
spoilers  that  spoiled  them,  and  ”he 
sold  them  into  the  hands  of  their 
enemies  round  about,  so  that  they 
^ could  not  any  longer  stand  before 
their  enemies. 

15  Whithersoever  they  went  out, 
the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  against 
them  for  evil,  as  the  Lord  had  said, 
and  ’"as  the  Lord  had  sworn  unto 
them : and  they  were  gi*eatly  dis- 
tressed. 

16  U Nevertheless  “the  Lord  raised 
up  judges,  which  ^delivered  them 
out  of  the  hand  of  those  that  spoiled 
them. 

1 7 And  yet  they  would  not  hearken 
unto  their  judges,  but  they  *went 
a whoring  after  other  gods,  and 
bowed  themselves  unto  them  : they 
turned  quickly  out  of  the  waj’- 
which  their  fathers  walked  in, 
obeying  the  commandments  of  the 
Lord  ; but  they  did  not  so. 

18  And  when  the  Lord  raised 
them  up  judges,  then  “the  Lord 
was  with  the  judge,  and  delivered 
them  out  of  the  hand  of  their  ene- 
mies all  the  days  of  the  judge  : “for 
it  repented  the  Lord  because  of  their 
groanings  by  reason  of  them  that 
oppressed  them  and  vexed  them. 

^ 19  And  it  came  to  pass,  ^'when  the 
judge  was  dead,  that  thej  returned, 
and/corrupted  themselves  more  than 
their  fathers,  in  following  other 
"ods  to  serve  them,  and  to  bow 
down  unto  them ; ‘^they  ceased  not 
from  their  own  doings,  nor  from 
their  stubborn  way. 

20  U 'And  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  hot  against  Is-r4-el  ; and  he 
said.  Because  that  this  people  hath 
"‘transgressed  my  covenant  which  I 
commanded  their  fathers,  and  have 
not  hearkened  unto  my  voice;

therein,  as  their  fathers  did  keep 
it,  or  not.  <ich.  2. 19. 

23  Therefore  the  Lord  ^left  those  ^ or,  suffered. 
nations,  without  driving  them  out 
hastily ; neither  delivered  he  them 
into  the  hand  of  J bsh-u-a. 

CHAPTER  3. 

1 The  nations  left  to  prove  Israel.  6 By  communion  with 
them  they  commit  idoladry.  8 Othniel  delivereth  them 
from  Chushan-rishathaim.  12  Ehud  from  Eglon.  31 
Shamgar  from  the  Philistines. 

■\r  O W these  are  ^ the  nations  which 
Li-  the  Lord  left,  to  prove  IsJ-ra-el 
by  them,  even  as  many  of  If-ra-el 
as  had  not  knov/n  all  the  wars  of 
•Ca-naan ; 

2 Only  that  the  generations  of  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el  might  know,  to 
teach  them  war,  at  the  least  such  as 
before  knew  nothing  thereof ; 

3 Namely,  ^five  lords  of  the  Phi- 
hs-tines,  and  all  the  -Ga-naan-ites, 
and  the  Si-dohii-ans,  and  the  Hi- 
vites  that  dwelt  in  mount  Leb-a- 
nOn,  from  mount  Ba-al-her-m6n 
unto  the  entering  in  of  Ha-math. 

4 "^And  they  were  to  prove  Is-ra-el 

by  them,  to  know  whether  they 
would  hearken  unto  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord,  which  he  com- 
manded their  fathers  by  the  hand 
of  Mo-ses.  « ¥ , . 1 

5 51  ”And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
dwelt  among  the  -Ca-naan-ites,  Hit- 
tites,  and  Am-6r-ites,  and  _Per-iz- 
zltes,  and  HiAites,  and  J eb-u-sites  : 

6 And  ^they  took  their  daughters 

to  be  their  wives,  and  gave  their 
daughters  to  their  sons,  and  served 
their  gods.  ^ ^ ^ 

7 ®And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  did 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and 
forgat  the  Lord  their  God,  ^and 
served  Ba-al-im  and  "the  groves. 

8 51  Therefore  the  anger  _ of  the 
Lord  was  hot  against  IshA-el,  and 
he  *sold  them  into  the  hand  of 
“-Ghu-shan-rish-a-thadm  king  of 

M6s-5-pb-ta-mi-a : and  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el  served  -Ghu-shan- 
rish-a-tha-im  eight  years.  « ^ 

9 And  when  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-6l  *cried  unto  the  Lord,  the  Lord 
^raised  up  a ®deliverer_  to  the  chil- 
dren of  lshA-61,  who  delivered  them, 
even  "Oth-ni-el  the  son  of  Ke-naz, 

•Gadeb’s  younger  brother. 

10  And  “the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
^came  upon  him,  and  he  judged 
lsda-6l,  and  went  out  to  war : and 


B.c.  1406.  the  Lord  delivered  Ghu-shan-rish- 


a-thadm  kini 
into  his  han 


^M6s-5- 
and  his 


)6-ta-mi-a 


and  pre- 
vailed against  Ghu-shan  - rish-a- 
thadm. 

11  And  the  land  had  rest  forty 
years.  And  Oth-ni-el  the  soii  of 
Ke-naz  died. 

12  51  ‘^And  the  children  of  IsdAel 
did  evil  again  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  : and  the  Lord  strengthened 
®Egd5n  the  king  of  Mo-ab  against 
Isda-el,  because  they  had  done  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  he  gathered  unto  him  the 
children  of  Am-m5n  and  -^Am-a-lek, 
and  went  and  smote  Is-ra-el,  and 
possessed  ^the  city  of  palm  trees. 

1 4 So  the  children  of  I§-ra-6l  ^served 

Egd5n  the  king  of  Mo-ab  eighteen 
years.  . « y , 

15  But  when  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el  cried  unto  the  Lord,  the  Lord 
raised  them  up  a deliverer,  Ediud 
the  son  of  Ge-ra,  ^a  B6nda-mite,  a 
man  Hefthanded:  and  by  him  the 
children  of  Is-ra-6l  sent  a present 
unto  Egdon  the  king  of  Mo-ab. 

16  But  E-hud  made  him  a dagger 
which  had  two  edges,  of  a cubit 
length;  and  he  did  gird  it  under 
his  raiment  upon  his  right  thigh. 

17  And  he  brought  the  present 
unto  EgdSn  king  of  Mo-ab:  and 
EgdOn  wa$.  a very  fat  man. 

1 8 And  when  he  had  made  an  end 
to  offer  the  present,  he  sent  away 
the  people  that  bare  the  present. 

19  But  he  himself  turned  again 
‘’from  the  ® quarries  that  were  by 
Gil-gal,  and  said,  I have  a secret 
errand  unto  thee,  G king : who  said. 
Keep  silence.  And  all  that  stood 
by  him  went  out  from  him. 

20  And  E-hud  came  unto  him; 
and  he  was  sitting  in  ^a  summer 
parlour,  which  he  had  for  himself 
alone.  And  E-hiid  said,  I have  a 
message  from  God  unto  thee.  And 
he  arose  out  of  hi$  seat. 

21  And  E-hiid  put  forth  his  left 

hand,  and  took  the  dagger  from  his 
right  thigh,  and  thrust  it  into  his 
belly : . 

22  And  the  haft  also  went  in  after 
the  blade ; and  the  fat  closed  upon 
the  blade,  so  that  he  C9uld  not  draw 
the  dagger  out  of  his  belly ; and 
^the  dirt  came  out. 

23  Then  E-hud  went  forth  through 

the  porch,  and  shut  the  doors  of 
the  parlour  upon  him,  and  locked 
them.  ^ , . 

24  When  he  was  gone  out,  his 
servants  came ; and  when  they  saw 
that,  behold,  the  doors  of  the  par- 
lour were  locked,  they  said^  burely

the  children  of  Is-ra-el  went  down

before  them.

down  after  him,  and  took  ^the  fords

if  thou  wilt  not  go  with  me,  then  I 
will  not  go.

15  And  “the  Lord  discomfited  Sis- 
e-ra,  and  all  his  chariots,  and  all 
his  host,  with  the  edge  of  the  sword 
before  Bab-ak ; so  that  ^ Sis-e-ra 
lighted  down  off  his  chariot,  and 
fled  away  on  his  feet. 

16  But  Bab’ak  pursued  after  the 
chariots,  and  after  the  host,  unto 
Ha-robheth  of  the  Gen-tiles : and 
all  the  host  of  Sis-6-ra  fell  upon 
the  edge  of  the  sword;  and  there 
was  not  ^a  man  left. 

17  Howbeit  Sis-Gra  fled  away  on 
his  feet  to  the  tent  of  Ja-el  the  wife 
of  He-ber  the  Kenbte : for  there 
vjas  peace  between  .ladjin  the  king 
of  Ha-z6r  and  the  house  of  He-ber 
the  K^nbte. 

18  IT  And  Ja-t^l  went  out  to  meet 
Sis-6-ra,and  said  unto  liim,  Turn  in,

my  lord,  turn  in  to  me ; fear  not. 
And  when  he  had  turned  in  unto 
her  into  the  tent,  she  covered  him 
with  a ^mantle. 

19  And  he  said  unto  her.  Give 
me,  I pray  thee,  a little  water  to 
drink ; for  I am  thirsty.  And  she 
opened  ‘^a  bottle  of  milk,  and  gave 
him  drink,  and  covered  him. 

20  Again  he  said  unto  her.  Stand 
in  the  door  of  the  tent,  and  it  shall 
be,  when  any  man  doth  come  and 
enquire  of  tnee,  and  say.  Is  there 
any  man  herel  that  thou  shalt 
say.  No. 

21  Then  Ja-el  He-ber’s  wife  ^ took 
a nail  of  the  tent,  and  ‘‘took  an  ham- 
mer in  her  hand,  and  went  softly 
unto  him,  and  smote  the  nail  into 
his  temples,  and  fastened  it  into  the 
ground  : for  he  was  fast  asleep  and 
weary.  So  he  died. 

22  And,  behold,  as  Ba-rak  pursued 
Sis-e-ra,  Ja-el  came  out  to  meet  him, 
and  said  unto  him.  Come,  and  I 
will  shew  thee  the  man  whom  thou 
seekest.  And  when  he  came  into 
her  tent.,  behold,  Sis-e-ra  lay  dead, 
and  the  nail  was  in  his  temples. 

23  So  God  subdued  on  that  day 
Ja-bm  the  king  of  -Ca-naan  before 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el. 

24  And  the  hand  of  the  children 
of  I§-ra-el  ^prospered,  and  prevailed 
against  Ja-bin  tne  king  of  Ua-naan, 
until  they  had  destroyed  Ja-bin 
king  of  -Ca-naan.

Lord  because  of  the  Mid-i-an-Ites, 

8 That  the  Lord  sent  ^a  prophet 
unto  the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  which 
said  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  I brought  you 
up  from  E-gypt,  and  brought  you 
forth  out  of  the  house  of  bondage ; 

9 And  I dehvered  you  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  E-gyp-tians,  and  out  of 
the  hand  of  all  that  oppressed  you, 
and  *drave  them  out  from  before 
you,  and  gave  you  their  land; 

10  And  I said  unto  you,  I am  the 
Lord  your  God  ; Hear  not  the  gods 
of  the  Am-6r-ites,  in  whose  land  ye 
dwell : but  ye  have  not  obeyed  my 
voice. 

1 1 IT  And  there  came  an  angel  of 
the  Lord,  and  sat  under  an  oak 
which  was  inOphHah,  thsit pertained 
unto  Jo-ash  ”the  A-bi-6zh*ite : and 
his  son  ‘'Gid-e-5n  threshed  wheat 
by  the  winepress,  ^to  hide  it  from 
the  Mid-i-an-ites. 

12  And  the  ^ angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him,  and  said  unto 
him.  The  Lord  is  'with  thee,  thou 
mighty  man  of  valour. 

13  And  Gid-e-5n  said  unto  him. 
Oh  my  Lord,  if  the  Lord  be  with 
us,  whv  then  is  all  this  befallen 
US'?  and  “where  be  all  his  miracles 
* which  our  fathers  told  us  of,  say- 
ing, Did  not  the  Lord  bring  us  up 
from  E-gypt?  but  now  the  Lord 
hath  Horsaken  us,  and  delivered  us 
into  the  hands  of  the  Mid-i-an-ites. 

14  And  the  Lord  looked  upon 
him,  and  said,  *Go  in  this  thy 
might,  and  thou  shalt  save  Tsh-a-6l 
from  the  hand  of  the  Mid-i-an-ites  : 
‘'have  not  I sent  thee? 

15  And  he  said  unto  him.  Oh  my 
Lord,  wherewith  shall  I save  Is- 
ra-6l?  behold,  *niy^  family  is  poor 
in  Ma-nas-s6h,  and  I am  the  least 
in  my  father’s  house. 

16  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
'‘Surely  I will  be  with  thee,  and

17  And  he  said  unto  him,  it  now

then  “shew  me  a sign  that  thou

18  * Depart  not  hence,  1 pray  thee, 

until  I come  unto  thee,  and  bring 
forth  my  ^present,  and  set  it  before

til thou  come_  again.  , 

19  U ‘^And  Gid-g-(3n  went  in,  and 

made  ready  ^a  kid,  and  unleavened 
cakes  of  an  e-phah  of  flour:  the 
flesh  he  put  in  a basket,  and  he  put 
the  broth  in  a pot,  and  brought  it 
out  unto  him  under  the  oak,  and 
presented  it.  „ ^ i 

20  And  the  angel  of  God  said  unto 

him.  Take  the  flesh  and  the  un- 
leavened cakes,  and  ‘'lay  theni  upon 
this  rock,  and  ®pour  out  the  broth. 
And  he  did  so.  , ^ x 

21  H Then  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
put  forth  the  end  of  the  staff  that 
was  in  his  hand,  and  touched  the 
flesh  and  the  unleavened  cakes ; and 
^there  rose  up  fire  out  of  the  rock, 
and  consumed  the  flesh  and  the 
unleavened  cakes.  Then  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  departed  out  of  his

22  And  when  Gid-e-5n  '‘perceived

'for  because  1 have  seen  an  angel 
of  the  Lord  face  to  face. 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 

’‘Peace  be  unto  thee;  fear  not:  thou 
shalt  not  die.  ^ ^ ^ 

24  Then  Gid-6-5n  built  an  altar 
there  unto  the  Lord,  and  called  it 
®JAho-vah-sha-l5m : unto  this  day 
it  is  yet  "in  Oph-rah  of  the  A-bi- 

25  II  And  it  came  to  pass  the  same 
night,  that  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
Take  thy  father’s  young  bullock, 
■'even  the  second  bullock  of  seven 
years  old,  and  throw  down  the  altar 
of  Ba-al  that  thy  father  hath,  and 
«cut  down  the  grove  that  is  by  it:

take  the  second  bullock,  and  offer 
a burnt  sacrifice  with  the  wood  of 
the  grove  which  thou  shalt  cut 
down.  _ , _ 

27  Then  Gid-6-5n  took  ten  men  of 
his  servants,  and  did  as  the  Lord 
had  said  unto  him : and  so  it  was, 
because  he  feared  his  father  s house-

arose  early  in  the  morning,  behold, 

the  altar  of  Ba-al  was  cast  down, 
and  the  grove  was  cut  down  that 
was  by  it,  and  the  second  bullock 
was  offered  upon  the  altar  that  was 
built. 

29  And  they  said  one  to  another. 

Who  hath  done  this  thing'?  And 
when  they  enquired  and  asked,  they 
said,  Gid-e-6n  the  son  of  Jo-ash  hath 
done  this  thing.  , . 

30  Then  the  men  of  the  city  said 

unto  Jo-ash,  Bring  out  thy  son,  that 
he  may  die : because  he  hath  cast 
down  the  altar  of  Ba-al,  and  because 
he  hath  cut  down  the  grove  that 
was  by  it.  ^ ^ 

31  And  Jo-ash  said  unto  all  that 

stood  against  him.  Will  ye  plead  for 
Ba-al'?  will  ye  save  him'?  he  that 
will  plead  for  him,  let  him  be  put 
to  death  whilst  it  is  yet  morning : 
if  he  be  a god,  let  him  plead  for 
himself,  because  one  hath  cast  down 
his  altar.  , ^ ^ 

32  Therefore  on  that  day  he  called 
him  •''Jer-ub-ba-al,^  saying,  Let  Ba-^ 
plead  against  him,  because  he  hath 
thrown  down  his  altar. 

33  H Then  all  the  Mid4-an-ites 
and  the  Am-a-lek-ites  and  the  chil- 
dren of  the  east  were  gathered  to- 
gether, and  went  over,  and  pitched 
in 'the  valley  of  Jez-re-6l. 

34  But  '^the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
"came  upon  Gid-e-5n,  and  he  ’“blew 
a trumpet;  and  A-bi-e-zer  ^was  ga- 
thered after  him. 

35  And  he  sent  messengers 
throughout  all  Ma-nas-seh ; who 
also  was  gathered  after  him : and 
he  sent  messengers  unto  A^h-er^ 
and  unto  Z6b-u-lun,  and  unto  Naph- 
ta-lT;  and  they  came  up  to  meet 

^36^%  And  Gid-e-6n  said  unto  God, 
If  thou  wilt  save  Is-ra-gl  by  mine 
hand,  as  thou  hast  said, 

37  ^Behold,  I will  put  a fleece  of 
wool  in  the  floor ; and  if  the  dew 
be  on  the  fleece  only,  and  it  be  dry 
upon  all  the  earth  beside,  then  snail 
I know  that  thou  wilt  save  Is-ra-el 
by  mine  hand,  as  thou  hast  said. 

38  And  it  was  so:  for  he  rose  up 
early  on  the  morrow,  and  thrust 
the  fleece  together,  and  wringed  the 
dew  out  of  the  fleece,  a bowl  full  of 

39  AndGid-6-6n  said  unto  God, ’'Let 
not  thine  anger  be  hot  against  me, 
and  I will  speak  but  this  once : let 
me  prove,  I pray  thee,  but  this  once 
with  the  fleece ; let  it  now  be  dry 
only  upon  the  fleece,  and  upon  all 
the  ground  let  there  be  dew.

CHAPTER  7. 

1 Gideon's  army  is  reduced  to  three  hundred.  9 Ee  is 
encouraged  by  the  dream  and  interpretation  of  the  bar- 
ley cake.  16  His  stratagem  of  trumpets  and  lamps  in 
pitchers.  24  Oreb  and  Zeeb  taken. 

Then  *Jer-ub-ba-al,  who  is  Gid- 
6-5n,  and  all  the  people  that 
were  with  him,  rose  up  early,  and 
pitched  beside  the  well  of  Ha-r5d : 
so  that  the  host  of  the  Mid4-an-ites 
were  on  the  north  side  of  them,  by 
the  hill  of  Mo-reh,  in  the  valley. 

2 And  the  Loed  said  unto  Gid-6-5n, 
The  people  that  are  with  thee  are  too 
many  for  me  to  give  the  Mid4-an- 
ites  into  their  hands,  _ lest  Is-r4-el 
^ vaunt  themselves  against  me,  say- 
ing, Mine  own  hand  hath  saved  me. 
3 Now  therefore  go  to,  proclaim 
in  the  ears  of  the  people,  saying. 
* Whosoever  is  fearful  and  afraid, 
let  him  return  and  depart  early 
from  mount  Gil-e-ad.  And  there 
returned  of  the  people  twenty  and 
two  thousand ; and  there  remained 
ten  thousand. 

4  And  the  Loed  said  unto  Gid-e-pn, 
The  people  are  yet  too  many ; bring 
them  down  unto  the  water,  and  I 
will  try  them  for  thee  there : and 
it  shall  be,  that  of  whom  I say  unto 
thee.  This  shall  go  with  thee,  the 
same  shall  go  with  thee;  and  of 
whomsoever  I say  unto  thee.  This 
shall  not  go  with  thee,  the  same 
shall  not  go. 

5  So  he  brought  down  the  people 
unto  the  water : and  the  Loed  said 
unto  Gid-e-5n,  Everjr  one  that  lap- 
peth  of  the  water  with  his  tongue, 
as  a dog  lappeth,  him  shalt  thou 
set  by  himself ; likewise  every  one 
that  boweth  down  upon  his  knees 
to  drink. 

6  And  the  number  of  them  that 
lapped,  putting  their  hand  to  their 
mouth,  were  three  hundred  men : 
but  all  the  rest  of  the  people  bowed 
down  upon  their  knees  to  drink 
water. 

7  And  the  Loed  said  unto  Gid-e-5n, 
'By  the  three  hundred  men  that 
lapped  will  I save  you,  and  deliver 
the  Mid4-an-ites  into  thine  hand : 
and  let  all  the  other  people  go  every 
man  unto  his  place. 

8  So  the  people  took  victuals  in 
their  hand,  and  their  trumpets ; and 
he  sent  all  the  rest  of  Is-ra-6l  every 
man  unto  his  tent,  and  retained 
those  three  hundred  men : and  the 
host  of  Mid-i-an  was  beneath  him 
in  the  valley. 

j 9 U And  it  came  to  pass  the  same 
1 ‘'night,  that  the  Loed  said  unto  him.

Arise,  get  thee  down  unto  the  host ; 
for  I have  delivered  it  into  thine 
hand. 

10  But  if  thou  fear  to  go  down, 
go  thou  with  Phu-rah  thy  servant 
down  to  the  host : 

1 1 And  thou  shalt  ®hear  what  they 
say;  and  afterward  shall  thine  hands 
be  strengthened  to  go  down  unto 
the  host.  Then  went  he  down  with 
Phu-rah  his  servant  unto  the  out- 
side of  the  ^ armed  men  that  were 
in  the  host. 

12  And  the  Mid-i-an-Ites  and  the 
Am-a-lek-ites  and  ‘'all  the  children 
of  the  east  lay  along  in  the  valley 
like  grasshoppers  for  multitude ; 
and  their  camels  were  without  num- 
ber, as  the  sand  by  the  sea  side  for 
multitude. 

13  And  when  Gid-e-5n  was  come, 
behold,  there  was  a man  that  told 
a dream  unto  his  fellow,  and  said. 
Behold,  I dreamed  a dream,  and, 
lo,  a cake  of  barley  bread  tumbled 
into  the  host  of  Mid-i-an,  and  came 
unto  a tent,  and  smote  it  that  it  fell, 
and  overturned  it,  that  the  tent  lay 
along. 

14  And  his  fellow  answered  and 
said.  This  nothing  else  save  the 
sword  of  Gid-_e-5n  the  son  of  Jo-ash, 
a man  of  Is-r4-el : for  into  his  hand 
hath  God  delivered  Mid4-an,  and 
all  the  host. 

15  H And  it  was  so,  when  Gid-e-5n 
heard  the  telling  of  the  dream,  and 
^the  interpretation  thereof,  that  he 
worshipped,  and  returned  into  the 
host  of  Is-ra-el,  and  said.  Arise ; for 
the  Loed  hath  delivered  into  your 
hand  the  host  of  Mid-i-an. 

16  And  he  divided  the  three  hun- 
dred men  into  three  companies,  and 
he  put  ®a  trumpet  in  every  man^s 
hand,  with  empty  pitchers,  and 
‘‘lamps  within  the  pitchers. 

17  And  he  said  unto  them.  Look 
on  me,  and  do  likewise : and,  be- 
hold, when  I come  to  the  outside 
of  the  camp,  it  shall  be  that,  as  I 
do,  so  shall  ye  do. 

18  When  I blov/  with  a trumpet,  I 
and  all  that  are  with  me,  then  blow 
ye  the  trumpets  also  on  every  side 
of  all  the  camp,  and  say.  The  sword 
of  the  Loed,  and  of  Gid-6-5n. 

19  U So  Gid-6-5n,  and  the  hundred 
men  that  were  with  him,  came  unto 
the  outside  of  the  camp  in  the  be- 
ginning of  the  middle  watch ; and 
they  had  but  newly  set  the  watch: 
and  they  blew  the  trumpets,  and 
brake  the  pitcliers  that  were  in  their 
hands. 

20  And  the  three  companies  blew 
the  trumpets,  and  brake  the  pitch-

ers,  and  held  the  lamps  in  then-  left 
hands,  and  the  trumpets  m their 
right  hands  to  blow  ivithal:  and 
they  cried.  The  sword  of  the  Lord, 
and  of  Gid-e-5n. 

21  And  they  * stood  every  man  in 
his  place  round  about  the  camp : 
‘*and  all  the  host  ran,  and  cried, 

and  fled.  , ^ i i 

22  And  the  three  hundred  -^blew 
the  trumpets,  and  ^ the  Lord  set 

every  man’s  sword  against  his

host : and  the  host  fled  to  Beth-

^ border  of  A-bel-me-ho-lah,  unto

and  Zal-mun-na,  What  manner  of 
men  tvere  they  whom  ye  slew  at 
*Ta-b6r1  And  they  answered,  As 
thou  art,  so  they;  each  one 
‘^resembled  the  children  of  a king. 

19  And  he  said.  They  were  my 
brethren,  even  the  sons  of  my 
mother : as  the  Lord  liveth,  if 
ye  had  saved  them  alive,  I would 
not  slay  you. 

20  And  he  said  unto  Je-ther  his 
firstborn,  Up,  and  slay  them.  But 
the  youth  drew  not  his  sword : for  he 
feared,  because  he  was  yet  a youth. 

21  Then  Ze-bah  and  Zal-mtin-na 
said,  Rise  thou^  and  fall  upon  us : 
for  as  the  man  is,  so  is  his  strength. 
And  Gid-e-5n  arose,  and  *slew  Ze- 
bah  and  Zal-miin-na,  and  took  away 
the  ^ornaments  that  were  on  their 
camels’  necks. 

22  ^ Then  the  men  of  Ish4-el  said 
unto  Gid-e-6n,  Rule  thou  over  us, 
both  thou,  and  thy  son,  and  thy  son’s 
son  also  : for  thou  hast  delivered  us 
from  the  hand  of  Mid-i-an. 

23  And  Gid-e-5n  said  unto  them, 
I will  not  rule  over  you,  neither 
shall  my  son  rule  over  you:  *the 
Lord  shall  rule  over  you. 

24  *fl  And  Gid-e-on  said  unto  them, 
I would  desire  a request  of  you, 
that  ye  would  give  me  every  man 
the  earrings  of  his  prey.  (For  they 
had  golden  eamngs,  ” because  they 
were  Ish-ma-el-ites.) 

25  And  they  answered.  We  will 
willingly  give  them.  And  they 
spread  a garment,  and  did  cast 
therein  every  man  the  earrings  of 
his  prey. 

26  And  the  weight  of  the  golden 
earrings  that  he  requested  was  a 
thousand  and  seven  hundred  shek- 
els of  gold ; beside  ornaments,  and 
^collars,  and  purple  raiment  that 
was^  on  the  kings  of  Mid-i-an,  and 
beside  the  chains  that  were  about 
their  camels’  necks. 

27  And  Gid-e-5n  ^made  an  6ph-5d

is  better  for  you,  either  that  all 
the  sons  of  Jer-ub-ba-al,  ivhich  are

3 And  his  mother’s  brethren  spake 
of  him  in  the  ears  of  all  the  men  of 
She-chgm  all  these  words ; and  their 
hearts  inclined  ^to  follow  A-bim-

house  of  “Ba-M-beh‘ith,  wherewith

21  And  Jo-tham  ran  away,  and 

fled,  and  went  to  '’Be-6r,  and  dwelt 
there,  for  fear  of  A-bim-6-lech  his 
brother.  „ , , , , 

22  ^ When  A-bim-e-leeh  had 
reigned  three  years  over  Is-ra-6l, 

23  Then  ‘'God  sent  an  evil  spirit 
between  A-bim-6-leeh  and  the  men 
of  She-ehgm ; and  the  men  of  She- 
eh6m  ^dealt  treacherously  with  A-

24  '‘That  the  cruelty  done  to  the 
threescore  and  ten  sons  of  J er-ub-

be  laid  upon  A-bim-e-lech  their  bro- 
ther, which  slew  them ; and  upon 
the  men  of  She^hem,  which  ^ aided 
him  in  the  killing  of  his  brethren. 

25  And  the  men  of  She-ch6m  set 
liers  in  wait  for  him  in  the  top  of 
the  mountains,  and  they  robbed  all 
that  came  along  that  way  by  them  : 
and  it  was  told  A-bim-e-lech.  _ 

26  And  Ga^al  the  son  of  E-bed 
came  with  his  brethren,  and  went 
over  to  She-chem : and  the  men  of 
She-chem  put  their  confidence  in 
him. 

27  And  they  went  out  into  the 
fields,  and  gathered  their  vineyards, 
and  trode  the  grapes,  and  made 
^merry,  and  went  into  '^the  house 
of  their  god,  and  did  eat  and  drink, 
and  cursed  A-bim-e-lech. 

28  And  Ga-al  the  son  of  E-bgd 

said,  ‘'Who  is  A-bim-e-lech,  and  who 
is  She-chem,  that  we  should  serve

29  And  ’■would  to  God  this  people

I remove  A-bim-e-lech.  And  he 
said  to  A-bim-e-lech,  Increase  thine

30  H And  when  Ze-biil  the  ruler 
of  the  city  heard  the  words  of

34  U And  A-bim-e-lech  rose  up,  and 
all  the  people  that  were  with  him, 
by  night,  and  they  laid  wait  against 
She-chem  in  four  companies. 

35  And  Ga-al  the  son  of  E^bed  went 
out,  and  stood  in  the  entering  of  the 
gate  of  the  city : and  A-bim-e-lech 
rose  uiD,  and  the  people  that  were 
with  him,  from  lying  in  wait. 

36  And  when  Ga-al  saw  the  people, 
he  said  to  Ze-btil,  Behold,  there  come 
people  down  from  the  top  of  the 
mountains.  And  Ze-btil  said  unto 
him.  Thou  seest  the  shadow  of  the 
mountains  as  if  they  were  men. 

37  And  Ga-al  spake  again  and  said. 
See  there  come  people  down  by  the 
^middle  of  the  land,  and  another 
company  come  along  by  the  plain 
of  M A5n-e-nim. 

38  Then  said  Ze-btil  unto  him. 
Where  is  now^  thy  mouth,  where- 
with thou  ^saidst.  Who  is  A-bim- 
6-lech,  that  we  should  serve  him'? 
is  not  this  the  people  that  thou  hast 
despised"?  go  out,  I pray  now,  and 
fight  with  Ibhem. 

39  And  Ga-al  went  out  before  the 
men  of  She-chem,  and  fought  with 
A-bim-e-lech. 

40  And  A-bim-e-lech  chased  him, 
and  he  fled  before  him,  and  many 
were  overthrown  and  wounded, 
even  unto  the  entering  of  the  gate. 

41  And  A-bim-e-lech  dwelt  at 
A-ru-mah : and  Ze-btil  thrust  out 
Ga-al  and  his  brethren,  that  they 
should  not  dwell  in  She-chem. 

42  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  the  people  went 
out  into  the  field;  and  they  told 
A-bim-e-lech. 

43  And  he  took  the  people,  and 
divided  them  into  three  companies, 
and  laid  wait  in  the  field,  and  looked, 
and,  behold,  the  people  were  come 
forth  out  01  the  city ; and  he  rose 
up  against  them,  and  smote  them. 

44  And  A-bim-e-lech,  and  the  com- 
pany that  was  with  him,  rushed  for- 
ward, and  stood  in  the  entering  of 
the  gate  of  the  city:  and  the  two 
other  companies  ran  upon  all  the 
veople  that  were  in  the  fields,  and 
slew  them. 

45  And  A-bim-e-lech  fought  against

the  city,  and  slew  the  people  that 
was  therein,  and  *beat  down  the 
city,  and  sowed  it  with  salt. 

46  H And  when  all  the  men  of  the

48  And  A-bim-6-lech  gat  him  up 
to  mount  “Zal-mOn,  he  and  all  the 
people  that  were  with  him ; and 
A-bim-e-lech  took  an  ax  in  his 
hand,  and  cut  down  a bough  from 
the  trees,  and  took  it,  and  laid  it 
on  his  shoulder,  and  said  unto  the 
people  that  ivere  with  him.  What 
ye  have  seen  ^me  do,  make  haste/ 
and  do  as  I have  done. 

49  And  all  the  people  likewise  cut 
down  every  man  his  bough,  and  fol- 
lowed A-bim-e-lech,  and  put  them 
to  the  hold,  and  set  the  hold  on  fire 
upon  them;  so  that  all  the  men 
of  the  tower  of  She-chem  died  also, 
about  a thousand  men  and  women. 

50  H Then  went  A-bim-e-lech  to 
The-bez.  and  encamped  against  The- 
bez,  and  took  it. 

51  But  there  was  a strong  tower 
within  the  city,  and  thither  fled  all 
the  men  and  women^  and  all  they 
of  the  city,  and  shut  it  to  them,  ana 
gat  them  up  to  the  top  of  the  tower. 

52  And  A-bim-e-lecn  came  unto 
the  tower,  and  fought  against  it, 
and  went  hard  unto  the  door  of 
the  tower  to  burn  it  with  fire. 

53  And  a certain  woman  ®cast  a 
piece  of  a millstone  upon  A-bim-e- 
lech’s  head,  and  all  to  brake  his 
skull. 

54  Then  ‘^he  called  hastily  unto  the 
young  man  his  armourbearer,  and 
said  unto  him.  Draw  thy  sword,  and 
slay  me,  that  rnen  say  not  of  me,  A 
woman  slew  him.  And  his  young 
man  thrust  him  through,  and  he 
died. 

55  And  when  the  men  of  Is-r4-6l 
saw  that  A-bim-e-l6ch  was  dead,  they 
departed  every  man  unto  his  place. 

56  H ®Thus  God  rendered  the  wick- 
edness of  A-bim-e-lech,  which  he 
did  unto  his  father,  in  slaying  his 
seventy  brethren : 

57  And  all  the  evil  of  the  men

their  heads:  and  upon  them  came

are  in  the  land  of  Gil-e-ad. 

5 And  Ja-ir  died,  and  was  buried 

in  -Ga-mOn.  . - , ^ . 

6 ^ And  ‘^the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
did  evil  again  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  and  -^served  Ba-al-im,  and 
Ash-ta-r5th,  and  ^ the  gods  of  Syr4-a, 
and  the  gods  of  ^Zi-dOn,  and  the 
gods  of  Mo-ab,  and  the  gods  of  the 
children  of  Am-ni5n,  and  the  gods 
of  the  Phi-lis-tines,  and  forsook  the 
Lord,  and  served  not  him. 

7 And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was 
hot  against  Is-ra-el,  and  he  ^sold 
them  into  the  hands  of  the  Phi-lis- 
tines,  and  into  the  hands  of  the 
children  of  Am-m5n. 

8 And  that  year  they  vexed  and 
^ oppressed  the  children  of  Is-ra-el : 
eighteen  years,  all  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el  that  ivere  on  the  other  side 
J’or-dan  in  the  land  of  the  Am-6r- 
Ites,  which  is  in  Gil-e-ad. 

9 Moreover  the  children  of  Am- 
m5n  passed  over  Jor-dan  to  fight 
also  against  Ju-dah,  and  against 
Ben-ja-min,  and  against  the  house 
of  E-phra-im;  so  that  Is-ra-el  was 
sore  distressed. 

10  U ”And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  saying,  We 
have  sinned  against  thee,  both  be- 
cause we  have  forsaken  our  God, 
and  also  served  Ba-al-im. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el,  Did  not  I de- 
liver you  "from  the  E-gyp-tians, 
and  ^from  the  Am-6r-ites,  «from  the 
children  of  Am-m5n,  ®and  from  the 
Phi-lis-tines  % 

12  *The  Zi-do-ni-ans  also,  “and  the 
Am-a-lek-ites,  and  the  Ma-5n-ites, 
y did  oppress  ^ou ; and  ye  cried  to 
me,  and  I delivered  you  out  of  their 
hand. 

13  “Yet  ye  have  forsaken  me,  and 
served  other  gods  : wherefore  I will 
deliver  you  no  more. 

1 4 Go  and  "cry  unto  the  gods  which 
ye  have  chosen;  let  them  deliver 
you  in  the  time  of  your  tribulation. 

15  H And  the  children  of  IsYa-el 
said  unto  the  Lord,  We  have  sinned : 
‘^do  thou  unto  us  whatsoever  seem- 
eth  good  unto  thee ; deliver  us  only, 
we  pray  thee,  this  day. 

1 6 -A-nd  they  put  away  the  ® strange 
gods  from  among  them,  and  served 
the  Lord  : and  s' his  soul  ^ was  grieved 
for  the  misery  of  IsYa-el.  ^

Xl  was  * a mighty  man  of  valour,

said  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  not  in-

art  the  son  of  a strange  woman.

them : and  J eph-th^h  uttered  all  his 
words  “before  the  Lord  in  Miz-pgh. 

12  H Ajid  Jeph-thah  sent  messen- 
gers unto  the  king  of  the  children 
of  Am-mOn,  saying,  What  hast  thou 
to  do  with  me,  that  thou  art  come 
against  me  to  fight  in  my  land  1 

1 3 And  the  king  of  the  children  of 
Am-m5n  answered  unto  the  mes- 
sengers of  Jeph-thah,  ® Because  Is- 
ra-6l  took  away  my  land,  when  they 
came  up  out  of  E-gypt,  from  Ar-nOn 
even  unto  '"Jab-bOk,  and  unto  Jor- 
dan : now  therefore  restore  those 
lands  again  peaceably. 

1 4 And  J epb-thah  sent  messengers 
again  unto  the  king  of  the  children 
of  Am-mOn : 

15  And  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith 
Jeph-thah,  Us-ra-gl  took  not  away 
the  land  of  Mo-ab,  nor  the  land  of 
the  children  of  Am-m5n  : 

1 6 But  when  Is-ra-el  came  up  from 
E-gypt,  and  walked  through  the 
wilderness  unto  the  Bed  sea,  and 
"came  to  Ka-desh; 

17  Then  "I^-ra-gl  sent  messengers 
unto  the  king  of  E-d5m,  saying,  Let 
me,  I pray  thee,  pass  through  thy 
land  : ^but  the  king  of  E-dom  would 
not  hearken  thereto.  And  in  like 
manner  they  sent  unto  the  king 
of  Mo-ab : but  he  would  not  con- 
sent: and  Is-ra-el  "abode  in  Ka-desh. 

18  Then  they  went  along  through 
the  wilderness,  and  * compassed  the 
land  of  E-dom,  and  the  land  of  Mo- 
ab,  and  “came  by  the  east  side  of  the 
land  of  Mo-ab, /'and  pitched  on  the 
other  side  of  Ar-n5n,  but  came  not 
within  the  border  of  Mo-ab : for 
Ar-n5n  was  the  border  of  Mo-ab. 

19  And  Is-ra-el  sent  messengers 
unto  Si-hdn  king  of  the  Am-6r-ites, 
the  king  of  Hesn-bOn  ; and  Is-ra-el 
said  unto  him,  *Let  us  pass,  we  pray 
thee,  through  thy  land  into  my 

20  ®But  Sl-hdn  trusted  not  Is-ra-el 
to  pass  through  his  coast : but  Si-hOn 
gathered  all  ^ his  people  together, 
and  pitched  in  Ja-haz,  and  fought 
against  Ts-ra-6l. 

21  And  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-6l 
delivered  SidiOn  and  all  his  people 
into  the  hand  of  IsAa-6l,  and  they 
® smote  them : so  Is-ra-6l  possessed 
all  the  land  of  the  Am-6r-ites,  the 
inhabitants  of  that  country. 

22  And  they  possessed  '‘all  the 
coasts  of  the  Amh^r-ites,  from  Ar- 
non  even  unto  Jab-bok,  and  from 
the  wilderness  even  unto  Jor-dan. 

23  So  now  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el 
hath  dispossessed  the  Am-6r-ites 
from  before  his  people  ls-ra-6l,  and 
shouldest  thou  possess  it  I

and  her  towns,  and  in  all  the  cities 
that^e  along  by  the  coasts  of  Ar-non, 
three  hundred  years'?  why  therefore 
did  ye  not  recover  them  within  that 
time  ^ 

27  Wherefore  I have  not  sinned 
against  thee,  but  thou  doest  me 
wrong  to  war  against  me  : the  Lord 
*the  Judge  'be  judge  this  day  be- 
tween the  children  of  Is-ra-M  and 
the  children  of  Am-m5n. 

28  Howbeit  the  king  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am-m5n  hearkened  not 
unto  the  words  of  J Sph-thah  which 
he  sent  him. 

29  II  Then  ^the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  came  upon  ^Jeph-thah,  and 
he  passed  over  Gil-e-ad,  and  Ma- 
nas/seh,  and  passed  over  Miz-peh 
of  Gil-e-ad,  and  from  Miz-pgh  of 
Gil-e-M  he  passed  over  unto  the 
children  of  Am-m5n. 

30  And  Jeph-thah  * vowed  a vow 
unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  If  thou 
shalt  without  fail  deliver  the  chil- 
dren of  Am-mOn  into  mine  hands, 

31  Then  it  shall  be,  that  ^whatso- 
ever cometh  forth  of  the  door*s  of

turn in  peace  from  the  children  of 
Am-mon,^shall  surely  be  the  Lord’s, 
“and^  I will  offer  it  up  for  a burnt 
offering. 

32  ^ So  Jgph-thah  passed  over 
unto  the_  children  of  AmbnOn  to 
fight  against  them ; and  the  Lord 
delivered  them  into  his  hands. 

33  And  he  smote  them  from  Ar- 
o-er,  even  till  thou  come  to  ‘'Min- 
nith,  evefi  twenty  cities,  and  unto 
‘‘the  plain  of  the  vineyards,  with

with  timbrels  and  with  dances ; and 
she  was  his  only  child  ; ‘‘‘‘beside  her 
he  had  neither  son  nor  daughter.

JUDGES,  12,  13. 


An  angel  appeareth 


for  I ®have  opened  my  mouth  unto 
the  Lord,  and  U cannot  go  back. 

36  And  she  said  unto  him,  My 
father,  if  thou  hast  opened  thy 
mouth  unto  the  Lord,  ‘^do  to  me 
according  to  that  which  hath  pro- 
ceeded out  of  thy  mouth;  foras- 
much as  ‘^the  Lord  hath  taken  ven- 
geance for  thee  of  thine  enemies, 
even  of  the  children  of  Am-m5n. 

37  And  she  said  unto  her  father. 
Let  this  thing  be  done  for  me : let 
me  alone  two  months,  that  I may 
^go  up  and  down  upon  the  moun- 
tains, and  bewail  my  virginity,  I 
and  my  fellows. 

38  And  he  said.  Go.  And  he  sent 
her  away  for  two  months  : and  she 
went  with  her  companions,  and 
bewailed  her  virginity  upon  the 
mountains. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end 
of  two  months,  that  she  returned 
unto  her  father,  who  ®did  with  her 
according  to  his  vow  which  he  had 
vowed  : and  she  knew  no  man.  And 
it  was  a ^custom  in  Is-ra-el, 

40  That  the  daughters  of  Is-ra-el 
went  ‘’yearly  ’^to  lament  the  daugh- 
ter of  Jeph-thah  the  Gil-S-ad-ite 
four  days  in  a year.

AND  -^the  men  of  E-phra-im  Va- 
thered  themselves  together, 
and  went  northward,  and  said  unto 
Jeph-thah,  Wherefore  passedst  thou 
over  to  fight  against  the  children 
of  Am-m6n,  and  didst  not  call  us  to 

go  with  theel  we  will  burn  thine 
ouse  upon  thee  with  fire. 

2  And  Jeph-thah  said  unto  them, 
I and  my  people  were  at  great  strife 
with  the  children  of  Am-m5n  ; and 
when  I called  you,  ye  delivered  me 
not  out  of  their  hands. 

3  And  when  I saw  that  ye  de- 
livered vie  not,  I ^put  my  life  in 
my  hands,  and  passed  over  against 
the  children  of  Am-m5n,  and  the 
Lord  delivered  them  into  my  hand : 
wherefore  then  are  ye  come  up  unto 
me  this  day,  to  fight  against  mel 
4 Then  Jeph-thah  gathered  to- 
gether all  the  men  of  Gil-6-ad,  and 
fought  with  E-phra-im and  the 
men  of  Gil-e-ad  smote  E-phra-im,

^are  fugitives  of  E-phra-im  among

CHAPTER  13. 

1 Israel  is  in  the  hand  of  the  Philistines.  2 An  angel 
appeareth  to  Manoah's  -wife.  8 The  angel  appea/reth 
to  Manoah.  15  Manoah's  sacrifice,  whereby  the  angel 
is  discovered.  24  Samson  is  born. 

AND  the  children  of  IsYa-el  Hid'^' 
evil  again  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord;  ’’and  the  Lord  delivered  them 
4nto  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
for^  years. 

2 11  And  there  was  a certain  man 

of  ""ZoYah,  of  the  family  of^  the 
Dan-ites,  whose  name  was  Ma-no- 
ah ; and  his  wife  was  barren,  and 
bare  not.  . „ -r 

3 And  the  ” angel  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peared unto  the  woman,  and  said 
unto  her.  Behold  now,  thou  art 
barren,  and  bearest  not : but  thou 
shalt  conceive,  and  bear  a son. 

4 Now  therefore  beware,  I pray 
thee,  and « drink  not  wine  nor  strong 
drink,  and  eat  not  any  unclean 
thing:

SaTiison  is  born. 


5 For,  lo,  thou  shalt  conceive,  and 
bear  a son ; and  no  ® razor  shall 
come  on  his  head:  for  the  child 
shall  be  *a  Naz-a-rite  unto  God  from 
the  womb : and  he  shall  ° begin  to 
deliver  Is-ra-el  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  Phi-hs-tines. 

6 U Then  the  woman  came  and 
told  her  husband,  saying,  man 
of  God  came  unto  me,  and  his 
^countenance  was  like  the  counte- 
nance of  an  angel  of  God,  very  ter- 
rible : but  I asked  him  not  whence 
he  was,  neither  told  he  me  his 
name : 

7 But  he  said  unto  me,  Behold,  thou 
shalt  conceive,  and  bear  a son ; and 
now  drink  no  wine  nor  strong  drink, 
neither  eat  any  unclean  thing : for 
the  child  shall  be  a Naz-a-rite  to 
God  from  the  womb  to  the  day  of 
his  death. 

8 H Then  Ma-no-ah  intreated  the 
Lord,  and  said,  O my  Lord,  let  the 
man  of  God  which  thou  didst  send 
some  again  unto  us,  and  teach  us 
what  we  shall  do  unto  the  child 
that  shall  be  born. 

9 And  God  hearkened  to  the  voice 
sf  Ma-no-ah ; and  the  angel  of  God 
same  again  unto  the  woman  as  she 
sat  in  the  field : but  Ma-no-ah  her 
husband  was  not  with  her. 

10  And  the  woman  made  haste, 
md  ran,  and  shewed  her  husband, 
md  said  unto  him.  Behold,  the  man 
hath  appeared  unto  me,  that  came 
into  me  the  other  day. 

1 1 And  Ma-no-ah  arose,  and  went 
ifter  his  wife,  and  came  to  the  man, 
ind  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  the 
nan  that  spakest  unto  the  woman '? 
^Vnd  he  said,  I am. 

12  And  Ma-no-ah  said,  Now  let 
;hy  words  come  to  pass.  ®How 
shall  we  order  the  child,  and  ^^how 
siiall  we  do  unto  him  1 

13  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said 
into  Ma-no-ah,  Of  all  that  I said 
into  the  woman  let  her  beware. 

14  She  may  not  eat  of  any  thing 
:hat  cometh  of  the  vine,  * neither 
et  her  drink  wine  or  strong  drink, 
lor  eat  anv  unclean  thing:  all  that 
[ commanded  her  let  her  observe. 

15  ^ And  Ma-no-ah  said  unto  the 
ingel  of  the  Lord,  I pray  thee,  “let 

15  detain  thee,  until  we  shall  have 
nade  ready  a kid  ®for  thee. 

1 6 And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said 
into  Ma-no-ah,  Though  thou  detain 
ne,  I will  not  eat  of  thy  bread  : and 
f thou  wilt  offer  a burnt  offering, 
hou  must  offer  it  unto  tho  Lord,

18  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said 
unto  him,  ‘^Why  askest  thou  thus 
after  my  name,  seeing  it  is  ^secret"? 

1 9 So  Ma-no-ah  took  a kid  with  a 
meat  offering,  ®and  offered  it  upon  a 
rock  unto  the  Lord  : and  the  angel 
did  wonderously ; and  Ma-no-ah  and 
his  wife  looked  on. 

20  For  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
flame  went  up  toward  heaven  from 
off  the  altar,  that  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  ascended  in  the  flame  of  the 
altar.  And  Ma-no-ah  and  his  wife 
looked  on  it,  and  *fell  on  their  faces 
to  the  ground. 

21  But  the  angel  of  the  Lord  did 
no  more  appear  to  Ma-no-ah  and  to 
his  wife.  *Then  Ma-no-ah  knew 
that  he  was  an  angel  of  the  Lord. 

22  And  Ma-no-ah  said  unto  his 
wife,  ^We  shall  surely  die,  because 
we  have  seen  God. 

23  But  his  wife  said  unto  him,  If 
the  Lord  were  pleased  to  kill  us, 
he  would  not  have  received  a burnt 
offering  and  a meat  offering  at  our 
hands,  neither  would  he  have  shewed 
us  all  these  things,  nor  would  as  at 
this  time  have  told  us  such  things 
as  these. 

24  H And  the  woman  bare  a son, 
and  called  his  name  '“Sam-s5n : and 
“the  child  grew,  and  the  Lord 
blessed  him.

he  had  nothing  in  his  hand:  but  he 
told  not  his  father  or  his  mother 
what  he  had  done. 

7 And  he  went  down,  and  talked 

with  the  woman;  and  she  pleased 
Sam-s6n  well.  , . ^ 

8 ^ And  after  a time  he  returned  to 
take  her,  and  he  turned  aside  to  see 
the  carcase  of  the  lion : and,  behold, 
there  was  a swarm  of  bees  and  honey 
in  the  carcase  of  the  lion.  ^ 

9 And  he  took  thereof  in  his  hands, 
and  went  on  eating,  and  came  to 
his  father  and  mother,  and  he  gave 
them,  and  they  did  eat : but  he 
told  not  them  that  he  had  taken 
the  honey  out  of  the  carcase  of  the

seven  days,  while  their  feast  lasted :

day,  that  he  told  her,  because  she 
lay  sore  upon  him : arid  she  told 
the  riddle  to  the  children  of  her

unto  me,  so  have  I done  unto  them. 

12  And  they  said  unto  him,  We  are 
come  down  to  bind  thee,  that  we 
may  deliver  thee  into  the  hand  of 
the  Phi-lis-tines.  And  Sam-son  said 
unto  them,  Swear  unto  me,  that  ye 
will  not  fall  upon  me  yourselves. 

1 3 And  they  spake  unto  him,  say- 
ing, No  ; but  we  will  bind  thee  fast, 
and  deliver  thee  into  their  hand : 
but  surely  we  will  not  kill  thee. 
And  they  bound  him  with  two  new 
cords,  and  brought  him  up  from 
the  rock. 

14  H And  when  he  came  unto 
Le-hi,  the  Phi-lis-tines  shouted  a- 
gainst  him : and  Hhe  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  came  mightily  upon  him,  and 
the  cords  that  tvey-e  upon  his  arms 
became  as  flax  that  was  burnt  with 
fire,  and  his  bands  loosed  from  off 
his  hands. 

1 5 And  he  found  a ^ new  jawbone 
of  an  ass,  and  put  forth  his  hand, 
and  took  it,  and  ‘slew  a thousand 
men  therewith. 

16  And  Sam-sOn  said.  With  the 
iawbone  of  an  ass,  ® heaps  upon 
heaps,  with  the  jaw  of  an  ass  have 
i I slain  a thousand  men. 

; 17  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
had  made  an  end  of  speaking,  that 
he  cast  away  the  jawbone  out  of 
his  hand,  and  called  that  place  '^Ra- 
math-le-bi. 

18  U And  he  was  sore  athirst,  and 
; called  on  the  Lord,  and  said,  ^‘Thou 
hast  given  this  great  deliverance  in- 
‘ to  the  hand  of  thy  servant : and  now 
: shall  I die  for  thirst,  and  fall  into 
' the  hand  of  the  uncircumcised  1 
25-17. 


1 9 But  God  clave  an  hollow  place 
that  ivas  in  Hhe  jaw,  and  there  came 
water  thereout ; and  when  he  had 
drunk,  *his  spirit  came  again,  and 
he  revived : wherefore  he  called  the 
name  thereof  ‘^En-hak-ko-re,  which 
is  in  Le-hi  unto  this  day. 

20  ^And  he  judged  IshA-el  Hn  the 
days  of  the  Phi-lisHines  twenty 
years. 

CHAPTER  16. 

1 Samson  carrieth  away  the  gates  of  Gaza.  4 Delilah, 
enrrapted  by  the  Philistines,  enticeth  hint.  6 Thrice 
she  is  deceived.  15  At  last  she  overcometh  him.  21  The 
Philistines  take  him,  and  put  out  his  eyes.  23  Their 
feast  to  Dagon.  26  Death  of  Samson. 

Then  went  Sam-son  to  GaHA 
and  saw  there  ‘^an  harlot,  and 
went  in  unto  her. 

2  And  it  tvas  told  the  GaHites,  say- 
ing, Sam-son  is  cortie  hither.  And 
they  ® compassed  him  in,  and  laid 
wait  for  him  all  night  in  the  gate 
of  the  city,  and  were  ® quiet  all  the 
night,  saying.  In  the  morning,  when 
it  is  day,  we  shall  kill  him. 

3  And  Sam-son  lay  till  midnight, 
and  arose  at  midnight,  and  took  the 
doors  of  the  gate  of  the  city,  and 
the  two  posts,  and  went  away  with 
them,  '^bar  and  all,  and  put  them 
upon  his  shoulders,  and  carried 
them  up  to  the  top  of  an  hill  that 
is  before  HeJorOn. 

4  ^ And  it  came  to  pass  afterward, 
that  he  loved  a woman  ^ in  the  valley 
of  SoHek,  whose  name  ivas  De-li-lah. 
5 And  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lisHines 
came  up  unto  her,  and  said  unto 
her,  ^Entice  him,  and  see  wherein 
his  great  strength  lieth,  and  by 
what  means  we  may  prevail  a- 
gainst  him,  that  we  may  bind  him 
to  ^ afflict  him : and  we  will  give 
thee  every  one  of  us  eleven  hun- 
dred pieces  of  silver.  _ 

6  IT  And  DAlldah  said  to  Sam-sbn, 
Tell  me,  1 pray  thee,  wherein  thy 
great  strength  lieth,  and  wherewith 
thou  mightest  be  bound  to  afflict 
thee. 

7  And  Sam-s5n  said  unto  her.  If 
they  bind  me  with  seven  green 
withs  that  were  never  dried,  then 
shall  I be  weak,  and  be  as  '"’another 
man. 

8  Then  the  lords  of  tlie  Phi-lisHines 
brought  up  to  her  seven  green  withs 
which  had  not  been  dried,  and  she 
bound  liim  with  them. 

9  Now  there  icere  men  lying  in 
wait,  abiding  witli  her  in  the 
chanib('r.  And  she  said  unto  him. 
The  Pln-lisHines  he  upon  tliee,  8mu- 
son.  And  he  brake  the  withs,  as 
a thread  of  tow  is  broken  when  it 
'^toucheth  the  fire.  So  his  strength 
was  not  known.

Death  of  Samson. 


10  And  De-lidah  said  unto  Sam- 
s5n.  Behold,  thou  hast  mocked  me, 
and  told  me  lies : now  tell  me,  I 
pray  thee,  wherewith  thou  might- 
est  be  bound. 

11  And  he  said  unto  her.  If  they 
bind  me  fast  with  new  ropes  ^that 
never  were  occupied,  then  shall 
I be  weak,  and  be  as  another 


man. 

12  De-h-lah  therefore  took  new 
ropes,  and  bound  him  therewith, 
and  said  unto  him.  The  Phi-lis- 
tines  he  upon  thee,  Sam-s5n._  And 
there  were  liers  in  wait  abiding  in 
the  chamber.  And  he  brake  them 
from  off  his  arms  like  a thread. 

13  And  DAlidah  said  unto  Sam- 
son, Hitherto  thou  hast  mocked  me, 
and  told  me  lies : tell  me  where- 
with thou  mightest  be  bound.  And 
he  said  unto  her.  If  thou  weavest 
the  seven  locks  of  my  head  with 
the  web. 

14  And  she  fastened  it  with  the 
pin,  and  said  unto  him,  The  Phi- 
lis-tlnes  he  upon  thee,  Sam-s5n. 
And  he  awaked  out  of  his  sleep, 
and  went  away  with  the  pin  of  the 
beam,  and  with  the  web. 

15  ^ And  she  said  unto  him,  ‘^How 
canst  thou  say,  I love  thee,  when 
thine  heart  is  not  with  mel  thou 
hast  mocked  me  these  three  times, 
and  hast  not  told  me  wherein  thy 
great  strength  lieth. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she 
pressed  him  daily  with  her  words, 
and  urged  him,  so  that  his  soul  was 
® vexed  unto  death  ; 

1 7 That  he  -^told  her  all  his  heart, 
and  said  unto  her,  ^ There  hath  not 
come  a razor  upon  mine  head ; for 
I have  been  a Naz-a-rite  unto  God 
from  my  mother’s  womb:  if  I be 
shaven,  then  my  strength  will  go 
from  me,  and  I shall  become  weak, 
and  be  like  any  other  man. 

1 8 And  when  Dc-li-lah  saw  that  he 
had  told  her  all  his  heart,  she  sent 
and  called  for  the  lords  of  the  Phi- 
lis-tines,  saying.  Come  up  this  once, 
for  he  hath  shewed  me  all  his  heart. 
Then  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
came  up  unto  her,  and  brought 
money  in  their  hand. 

19  *And  she  made  him  sleep  upon 
her  knees ; and  she  called  for  a 
man,  and  she  caused  him  to  shave 
off  the  seven  locks  of  his  head ; 
and  she  began  to  afflict  him,  and 
his  strength  went  from  him. 

20  And  she  said,  The  Phi-lis-tines 
he  upon  thee,  Sam-s5n.  And  he 
awoke  out  of  his  sleep,  and  said,  I 
will  go  out  as  at  other  times  be-

wist  not  that  the  Lord  “was  de- 

parted from  him. 

21  IT  But  the  Phi-lis-tines  took  him, 
and  ^put  out  his  eyes,  and  brought 
him  down  to  Ga-za,  and  bound  him 
with  fetters  of  brass ; and  he  did 
grind  in  the  prison  house. 

22  Howbeit  the  hair  of  his  head 
began  to  grow  again  ^ after  he  was 
shaven. 

23  Then  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  gathered  them  together  for  to 
offer  a great  sacrifice  unto  Da-g6n 
their  god,  and  to  rejoice : for  they 
said.  Our  god  hath  delivered  Sam- 
son our  enemy  into  our  hand. 

24  And  when  the  people  saw  him, 
they  Upraised  their  god ; for  they 
said.  Our  god  hath  delivered  into 
our  hands  our  enemy,  and  the  de- 
stroyer of  our  country,  which  slew 
many  of  us. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
their  hearts  were  ‘'merry,  that  they 
said.  Call  for  Sam-s5n,  that  he  may 
make  us  sport.  And  they  called  for 
Sam-s5n  out  of  the  prison  house; 
and  he  made  ®them  sport : and  they 
set  him  between  the  pillars. 

26  And  Sam-s5n  said  unto  the  lad 
that  held  him  by  the  hand.  Suffer 
me  that  I may  feel  the  pillars  where- 
upon the  house  standeth,  that  I may 
lean  upon  them. 

27  Now  the  house  was  full  of  men 
and  women ; and  all  the  lords  of  the 
Phi-lis-tines  were  there:  and  there 
were  upon  the  ®roof  about  three 
thousand  men  and  women,  that  be- 
held while  Sam-son  made  sport. 

28  And  Samhson  called  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said,  O Lord  God,  re- 
member me,  I pray  thee,  and 
strengthen  me,  I pray  thee,  only 
this  once,  O God.  that  I may  be  at 
once  avenged  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
for  my  two  eyes. 

29  And  Sam-s5n  took  hold  of  the 
two  middle  pillars  upon  which  the 
bouse  stood,  and  ’on  which  it  was 
borne  up,  of  the  one  with  his  right 
band,  and  of  the  other  with  his  left. 

30  And  Sam-s6n  said.  Let  ®me 
die  with  the  Phi-lis-tines.  And  he 
bowed  bimself  with  all  his  might ; 
and  the  house  fell  upon  the  lords, 
and  upon  all  the  people  that  were 
therein.  So  the  dead  which  he 
slew  at  his  death  were  more  than 
they  which  he  slew  in  his  life. 

31  Then  his  brethren  and  all  the 
house  of  his  father  came  down,  and 
took  him,  and  brought  him  up,  and 
^buried  him  between  Zo-rah  and 
Esb-ta-5l  in  the  buryingplace  of  Ma- 
no-ah  his  father.  And  he  judged 
Is-ra-el  twenty  years.

Micah's  idolatry.

JUDGES,  17,  18. 


CHAPTER  17. 

I Of  fhe  money  that  MicaJi  first  stole,  then  restored,  his 
mother  maketh  images,  5 and  he  ornaments  for  them. 

7 He  hireth  a Levite  to  be  his  priest. 

AND  there  was  a man  of  mount 
XX  E-phra-im,  whose  name  was 
Mi-eah. 

2 And  he  said  unto  his  mother, 
The  eleven  hundred  shelf-els  of  sil- 
ver that  were  taken  from  thee, 
about  which  thou  cursedst,  and 
spakest  of  also  in  mine  ears,  be- 
hold, the  silver  is  with  me ; I took 
it  And  his  mother  said,  ‘’Blessed 
he  thou  of  the  Lord,  my  son. 

3 And  when  ho  had  restored  the 
eleven  hundred  shelf-els  of  silver  to 
his  mother,  his  mother  said,  I had 
wholly  dedicated  the  silver  unto 
the  Lord  from  my  hand  for  my 
son,  to  -^make  a graven  image  and 
a molten  image:  now  therefore  1 
will  restore  it  unto  thee. 

4 Yet  he  restored  the  money  unto 
his  mother;  and  his  mother  '‘took 
two  hundred  shelf-els  of  silver,  and 
gave  them  to  the  founder,  who 
made  thereof  a graven  image  and 
a molten  image  : and  they  were  in 
the  house  of  Mi-eah. 

5 And  the  man  Mi-eah  had  an 
house  of  gods,  and  made  an  *eph-5d, 
and  't6r-a-phim,  and  ‘^consecrated 
one  of  his  sons,  who  became  his  priest. 

6 "In  those  days  there  was  no  king 
in  Is-ra-6l,  ^hut  every  man  did  that 
which  was  right  in  his  own  eyes. 

7 H And  there  was  a young  man 
out  of  ‘'Beth'-lg-hgm-ju-dah  of  the 
family  of  Ju-dah,  who  was  a Le- 
vite. and  he  sojourned  there. 

8 And  the  man  departed  9ut  of 
the  city  from  Beth'-m-h6m-ju-dah 
to  sojourn  where  he  could  find  a 
place : and  he  came  to  mount 
E-phra-im  to  the  house  of  Mi-eah, 
^as  he  journeyed. 

9 And  Mi-eah  said  unto  him. 
Whence  comest  thou  % And  he 
said  unto  him,  I am  a Le-vite  of 
Beth -l6-h6m- ju-dah,  and  I go  to 
sojourn  where  I may  find  a plcice. 

10  And  Mi^ah  said  unto  him, 
Dwell  with  me,  *and  be  unto  rne 
a Mather  and  a priest,  and  I will 
give  thee  ten  shelf-els  of  silver  by 
the  year,  and  ®®a  suit  of  apparel, 
and  thy  victuals.  So  the  Le-vite 
went  in. 

1 1 And  the  Le-vite  was  content  to 
dwell  with  the  man ; and  the  young 
man  was  unto  him  as  one  of  his 
sons. 

12  And  Mi-eah  ‘^consecrated  the 
Le-vite;  and  the  young  man  " be- 
came his  priest,  and  was  in  the 
house  of  Mi^ah.

13  Then  said  Mi-eah,  Now  know 
I that  the  Lord  will  do  me  gpod, 
seeing  I have  a Le-vite  to  my  priest. 

CHAPTER  18. 

Danites  seek  out  an  inheritance. 

IN  those  days  there  was  no  king 
in  Is-ra-el : and  in  those  days 
^the  tribe  of  the  Dan-ites  sought 
them  an  inheritance  to  dwell  in; 
for  unto  that  day  all  their  inherit- 
ance had  not  fallen  unto  them 
among  the  tribes  of  Is-ra-6l. 

2 And  the  children  of  Dan  sent 
of  their  family  five  men  from  their 
coasts,  ^men  of  valour,  from  ‘^Zo-rah, 
and  from  Esh-ta-Ol,  "to  spy  out  the 
land,  and  to  search  it ; and  they  said 
unto  them.  Go,  search  the  land : who 
when  they  came  to  mount  E-phra-im, 
to  the  house  of  Mi^ah,  they  lodged 
there. 

3 When  they  were  by  the  house  of 
Mi-oah,  they  knew  the  voice  of  the 
young  man  the  Le-vite : and  they 
turned  in  thither,  and  said  unto 
him.  Who  brought  thee  hither  1 and 
what  makest  thou  in  this  placed 
and  what  hast  thou  herel 
4 And  he  said  unto  them.  Thus  and 
thus  dealeth  Mi'-eah  with  me,  and 
hath  *hired  me,  and  I am  his  priest. 
5 And  they  said  unto  him,  "‘Ask 
counsel,  we  pray  thee,  "of  God,  that 
we  may  know  whether  our  way 
which  we  go  shall  be  prosperous. 

6  And  the  priest  saia  unto  them, 
'^Go  in  peace:  before  the  Lord  is 
your  way  wherein  ye  go. 

7  U Then  the  five  men  departed, 
and  came  to  "La^sh,  and  saw  the 
people  that  were  therein,  *how  they 
dwelt  careless,  after  the  manner  of 
the  Zi-do-ni-ans,  quiet  and  secure ; 
and  there  was  no  ^magistrate  in  the 
land,  that  might  put  them  to  shame 
in  any  thing;  and  they  were  far 
from  the  Zi-do-ni-ans,  and  had  no 
business  with  any  man. 

8  And  they  came  unto  their  breth- 
ren to  “Zo-rah  and  EshMa-5l:  and 
their  brethren  said  unto  them.  What 
say  ye  % 

9  And  they  said,  ^ Arise,  that  we 
may  go  up  against  them : for  we 
have  seen  the  land,  and,  behold,  it 
is  very  good  : and  are  ye  “still  1 be

of  Zo-rah  and  out  of  Esh-ta-5l,  six 
hundred  men  ^appointed  with  wea- 
pons of  war. 

12  And  they  went  up,  and  pitched 
in  ®Kii’-jath-je-a-rim,  in  Ju-dah: 
wherefore  they  called  that  place 
*Ma-ha-n6h-dan  unto  this  day:  be- 
hold, it  is  behind  Kir-jath-je-a-rim. 

13  And  they  passed  thence  unto 
mount  E-phra-im,  and  came  unto 
®the  house  of  Ml-eah. 

14  ^ ‘^Then  answered  the  five  men 
that  went  to  spy  out  the  country 
of  La4sh,  and  said  unto  their  breth- 
ren, Do  ye  know  that  ® there  is  in 
these  houses  an  eph-Od,  and  ter-a- 
phim,  and  a graven  image,  and  a 
rnolten  imaged  now  therefore  con- 
sider what  ye  have  to  do. 

15  And  they  turned  thitherward, 
and  came  to  the  house  of  the  young 
man  the  Le-vite,  even  unto  the  house 
of  Mi^ah,  and  ^saluted  him. 

16  And  the  ^six  hundred  men 
appointed  with  their  weapons  of 
war,  which  v)ere  of  the  children  of 
Dan,  stood  by  the  entering  of  the 
gate. 

17  And  *the  five  men  that  went  to 
spy  out  the  land  went  up.  aTid  came 
in  thither,  and  took  Uhe  graven 
image,  and  the  eph-Od,  and  the  ter- 
a-phim,  and  the  molten  image  : and 
the  priest  stood  in  the  entering  of 
the  gate  with  the  six  hundred  men 
that  were  appointed  with  weapons 
of  war. 

18  And  these  went  into  Mi-eah’s 
house,  and  fetched  the  carved  im- 
age, the  eph-5d,  and  the  ter-a-phim, 
and  the  molten  image.  Then  said 
the  priest  unto  them,  What  do 
yel 

19  And  they  said  unto  him.  Hold 
thy  peace,  «lay  thine  hand  upon  thy 
mouth,  and  go  with  us,  ^and  be  to 
us  a father  and  a priest : is  it  better 
for  thee  to  be  a priest  unto  the 
house  of  one  man,  or  that  thou  be 
a priest  unto  a tribe  and  a family 
in  Is-ra-eH 

20  And  the  priest’s  heart  was  glad, 
and  he  took  the  ^ph-Sd,  and  the  ter- 
a-phim,  and  the  graven  image,  and 
went  in  the  midst  of  the  people. 

21  So  they  turned  and  departed, 
and  put  the  little  ones  and  tlie  cat- 
tle and  the  carriage  before  them. 

22  H And  when  they  were  a good 
way  from  the  house  of  Mi^ah,  the 
men  that  were  in  the  houses  near 


to  Ml^ah’s  house  were  gathered  to- 
gether, and  overtook  tlie  children 

of  l3an. 

23  And  they  cried  unto  the  chil

1 A Levite  goeth  to  Beth-lehem  to  fetch  home  his  wife.  22 
The  Gibeathites  abuse  his  cemeubine  to  death. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days, 
^when  there  was  no  king  in 
Is-ra-el,  that  there  was  a certain 
Le-vite  somurning  on  the  side  of 
mount  E-phra-im,  who  took  to  him 
®a  concubine  out  of  “Beth-l6-hem- 
ju-dah. 

2 And  his  concubine  played  the 
whore  against  him,  and  went  away 
from  him  unto  her  father’s  house  to 
Beth'-lS-hem-ju-dah,  and  was  there 
‘^''four  whole  months. 

3 And  her  husband  arose,  and  went 
after  her,  to  speak  ® friendly  unto 
her,  and  to  bring  her  again,  having 
his  servant  with  him.  and  a coupla

of  asses : and  she  brought  him  into 
her  father’s  house:  and  when  the 
father  of  the  damsel  saw  him,  he 
rejoiced  to  meet  him. 

4 And  his  father  in  law,  the  dam- 
sel’s father,  retained  him ; and  he 
abode  with  him  three  days  : so  they 
did  eat  and  drink,  and  lodged  there. 

5 U And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
fourth  day,  when  they  arose  early 
in  the  morning,  that  he  rose  up  to 
depart:  and  the  damsel’s  father 
said  unto  his  son  in  law,  ‘'Comfort^ 
thine  heart  with  a morsel  of  bread, 
and  afterward  go  your  way. 

6 And  they  sat  down,  and  did  eat 
and  drink  both  of  them  together: 
for  the  damsel’s  father  had  said 
unto  the  man,  Be  content,  I pray 
thee,  and  tarry  all  night,  and  let 
thine  heart  bo  merry. 

7 And  when  the  man  rose  up  to 
depart,  his  father  in  law  urged  him  : 
therefore  he  lodged  there  again. 

8 And  he  arose  early  in  the  morn- 
ing on  the  fifth  day  to  depart : and 
the  damsel’s  father  said.  Comfort 
thine  heart,  1 pray  thee.  And  they 
tarried  ^ until  afternoon,  and  they 
did  eat  both  of  them. 

9 And  when  the  man  rose  up  to 
depart,  he,  and  his  concubine,  and 
his  servant,  his  father  in  law,  the 
damsel’s  father,  said  unto  him.  Be- 
hold, now  the  day  ^draweth  toward 
evening,  I pray  you  tarry  all  night : 
behold,  Hhe  day  groweth  to  an  end, 
lodge  here,  that  thine  heart  may  be 
merry ; and  to  morrow  get  you  early 
on  your  way,  that  thou  mayest  go 
® home. 

10  But  the  man  would  not  tarry 
that  night,  but  he  rose  up  and  de- 
parted, and  came  '^over  against  'Je- 
hus, which  is  Je-ru-sa-lem;  and  there 
were  with  him  two  asses  saddled, 
his  concubine  also  was  with  him. 

11  A7id  when  they  were  by  Je-biis, 
the  day  was  far  spent ; and  the  serv- 
ant said  unto  his  master.  Come,  I 
pray  thee,  and  let  us  turn  in  into 
this  city  "'of  the  Jeb-u-sites,  and 
lodge  in  it. 

12  And  his  master  said  unto  him. 
We  will  not  turn  aside  hither  into 
the  city  of  a stranger,  that  is  not 
of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el ; we  will 
pass  over  *to  Gib-6-ah. 

13  And  he  said  unto  his  servant. 
Come,  and  let  us  draw  near  to  one 
of  these  places  to  lodge  all  night, 
in  Gib-e-ah,  or  in  'Ba-mah. 

14  And  they  passed  on  and  went 
their  way  ; and  the  sun  went  down 
upon  them  when  they  were  by  Gib- 
6-ah,  which  belongeth  to  Ben^ia-min.

and  his  concubine. 

go  in  and  to  lodge  in  Gib-6-ah : 

d when  he  went  in,  he  sat  him 
down  in  a street  of  the  city:  for 
there  was  no  man  that  “took  them 
into  his  house  to  lodging. 

16  ^ And,  behold,  there  came  an 
old  man  from  '’his  work  out  of  the 
field  at  even,  which  was  also  of 
mount  E-phra-lm ; and  he  sojourned 
in  Gib-e-ah:  but  the  men  of  the 
place  were  Ben-ja-mites. 

17  And  when  he  had  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  he  saw  a wayfaring  man  in 
the  street  of  the  city : and  the  old 
man  said.  Whither  goest  thou  % and 
whence  comest  thou  1 

18  And  he  said  unto  him.  We  are 
passing  from  Beth'-le-hem-ju-dah 
toward  the  side  of  mount  E-phra-im; 
from  thence  am  I : and  I went  to 
Beth -le-hem-ju-dah,  but  I am  now 
going  to  ‘'the  house  of  the  Lord; 
and  there  is  no  man  that  ^receiveth 
me  to  house. 

19  Yet  there  is  both  straw  and 
provender  for  our  asses ; and  there 
is  bread  and  wine  also  for  me,  and 
for  thy  handmaid,  and  for  the  young 
man  which  is  with  thy  servants : 
there  is  no  want  of  any  tiling 

20  And  the  old  man  said,  ®reace 
be  with  thee ; howsoever  let  all  thy 
wants  lie  upon  me ; •''only  lodge  not 
in  the  street. 

21  ^So  he  brought  him  into  his 
house,  and  gave  provender  unto 
the  asses:  ^and  they  washed  their 
feet,  and  did  eat  and  drink. 

22  H Now  as  they  were  mahing 
their  hearts  merry,  behold,  'the 
men  of  the  city,  certain  *sons  of 
Bedi-al,  beset  the  house  roundabout, 
and.  beat  at  the  door,  and  spake  to 
the  master  of  the  house,  the  old 
man,  saying,  Bring  forth  the  man 
that  came  into  thine  house,  that  we 
may  know  him. 

23  And  ”the  man,  the  master  of 
the  house,  went  out  unto  them,  and 
said  unto  them.  Nay,  my  brethren, 
nay.,  I pray  you^  do  not  so  wickedly ; 
seeing  that  this  man  is  come  into 
mine  house,  ^ do  not  this  folly. 

24  '^Behold,  here  is  my  daughter  a 
maiden,  and  his  concubine  ; them  I 
will  bring  out  now,  and  ’’humble 
ye  them,  and  do  with  them  what 
seemeth  good  unto  you : but  unto 
this  man  do  not  ®so  vile  a thing. 

25  But  the  men  would  not  hearken 
to  him : so  the  man  took  his  con- 
cubine, and  brought  her  forth  unto 
them  ; and  they  “ knew  her,  and 
abused  her  all  the  night  until  the 
morning  : and  when  the  day  began 
to  spring,  they  let  her  go.

at  the  door  of  the  man’s  house 
where  her  lord  was,  till  it  was 
light. 

27  And  her  lord  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  opened  the  doors  of 
the  house,  and  went  out  to  go  his 
way : and,  behold,  the  woman  his 
concubine  was  fallen  down  at  the 
door  of  the  house,  and  her  hands 
were  upon  the  threshold. 

28  And  he  said  unto  her.  Up,  and 
let  us  be  going.  But  *none  an- 
swered. Then  the  man  took  her 
up  upon  an  ass,  and  the  man  rose 
up,  and  gat  him  unto  his  place. 

29  H And  when  he  was  come  into 
his  house,  he  took  a knife,  and  laid 
hold  on  his  concubine,  and  divided 
her,  together  with  her  bones,  into 
twelve  pieces,  and  sent  her  into 
all  the  coasts  of  Ish4-el. 

30  And  it  was  so,  that  all  that  saw 
it  said.  There  was  no  such  deed 
done  nor  seen  from  the  day  that 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el  came  up 
out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt  unto  this 
day:  consider  of  it,  ®take  advice,

all  the  Benjamites,  except  six  hundred. 

Then  "all  the  children  of  Is^rAel 
went  out,  and  the  congregation 
was  gathered  together  as  one  man, 
from  * Dan  even  to  Be-er-she-ba,

Lord  *in  Miz-peh. 

2  And  the  chief  of  all  the  people, 
even  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is-rd-el,  pre- 
sented themselves  in  the  assembly 
of  the  people  of  God,  four  hun- 
dred thousand  footmen  Hhat  drew

3  (Now  the  children  of  Ben-ja-min 
heard  that  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
were  gone  up  to  Miz-peh.)  Then 
said  the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  Tell  us, 
how  was  this  wickedness  % 

4  And  ^the  Le-vite,  the  husband  of 
the  woman  that  was  slain,  answered 
and  said,  ^*1  came  into  Gib-e-ah  that

6  And  ®I  took  my  concubine,  and

of  Is-ra-el,  and  an  hundred  of  a 
thousand,  and  a thousand  out  of  ten 
thousand,  to  fetch  victual  for  the 
people,  that  they  may  do,  when 
they  come  to  Gib-e-ah  of  Ben-ja- 
min,  according  to  all  the  folly  that 
they  have  wrought  in  IsAa-el. 

1 1 So  all  the  men  of  IsAa-el  were 
gathered  against  the  city,  ^ knit  to- 
gether as  one  man. 

12  ^ ‘'And  the  tribes  of  Is-ra-el  sent 
men  through  all  the  tribe  of  B6n- 
ja-min,  saying,  What  wickedness  is 
this  that  is  done  among  yen'? 

13  Now  therefore  deliver  us  the 
men,  •''the  children  of  Be-li-al,  which 
are  in  Gib-e-ah,  that  we  may  put 
them  to  death,  and  ^ put  away  evil 
from  Is-ra-el.  But  the  children  of 
Ben-ja-min  would  not  hearken  to 
the  voice  of  their  brethren  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el : 

14  But  the  children  of  Ben-ja-min 
gathered  themselves  together  out  of 
the  cities  unto  Gib-e-ah,  to  go  out  to 
battle  against  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l. 

15  And  the  children  of  Ben-ja-min 
were  numbered  at  that  time  out  of 
the  cities  twenty  and  six  thousand 
men  that  drew  sword,  beside  the  in- 
habitants of  Gib-e-ah,  which  were 
numbered  seven  hundred  chosen

33  And  all  the  men  of  IsAa-el  rose 
up  out  of  their  place,  and  put  them- 
selves in  array  at  Ba-al-ta-mar  : and 
the  Hers  in  wait  of  Is-ra-el  came  forth 
out  of  their  places,  even  out  of  the 
meadows  of  Gib-e-ah. 

34  And  there  came  against  Gib-e-ah 
ten  thousand  chosen  men  out  of  all 
Is-ra-gl,  and  the  battle  was  sore: 
“but  they  knew  not  that  evil  was 
near  them. 

35  And  the  Lord  smote  Ben-ia-min 
before  Isj4-el:  and  the  children  of 
Is^ra-el  destroyed  of  the  Bgnja- 
niites  that  day  twenty  and  five 
thousand  and  an  hundred  men : all 
these  drew  the  sword. 

36  So  the  children  of  Benja-min 
saw  that  they  were  smitten:  "^for 
the  men  of  Is-ra-el  gave  place  to  the 
Bgnja-mltes,  because  they  trusted 
unto  the  Hers  in  wait  which  they 
had  set  beside  Gib-e-ah. 

37  <And  the  Hers  in  wait  hasted, 
and  rushed  upon  Gib-e-ah ; and  the 
Hers  in  wait  ^ drew  themselves  along, 
and  smote  all  the  city  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword. 

38  Now  there  was  an  appointed 
^sign  between  the  men  of  Is-ra-el 
^and  the  Hers  in  wait,  that  they 
should  make  a great  Aflame  with 
smoke  rise  up  out  of  the  city. 

39  And  when  the  men  pf  Is-ra-Sl 
retired  in  the  battle,  Ben-ia-min  be- 
gan ®to  smite  and  kill  of  the  men 
of  Is-ra-el  about  thirty  persons;  for 
they  said.  Surely  they  are  smitten 
down  before  us,  as  in  the  first  battle. 

40  But  when  the  flame  began  to 
arise  up  out  of  the  city  with  a 
pillar  of  smoke,  the  Benja-mites 
Gooked  behind  them,  and,  behold, 
®the  flame  of  the  city  ascended  up 
to  heaven. 

41  And  when  the  men  of  Is-ra-el 
turned  again,  the  men  of  BSn  ja-min 
were  amazed  : for  they  saw  that  evil 

was  come  upon  them. 

42  Therefore  they  turned  their 
backs  before  the  men  of  Is-ra-gl  unto 
the  way  of  the  wilderness  ; but  the 
battle  overtook  them;  and  them 
which  came  out  of  the  cities  they 
destroyed  in  the  midst  of  them. 

43  Thus  they  inclosed  the  Ben- 
ja-mltes  round  about,  and  chased 
them,  and  trode  them  down  ^ with 
ease  over  against  Gib-6-ah  toward 
the  sunrising. 

44  And  there  fell  of  B6nja-min 
eighteen  thousand  men ; all  these 
were  men  of  valour. 

45  And  they  turned  and  fled  to 


263 


ward  tlie  wilderness  unto  the  rock 
of  “ Rim-mOn : and  they  gleaned  of 
them  in  the  highways  live  thou- 
sand men ; and  pursued  hard  after 
them  unto  Gi-dom,  and  slew  two 
thousand  men  of  them. 

46  So  that  all  which  fell  that  day 
of  Ben-ja-min  were  twenty  and  five 
thousand  men  that  drew  the  sword  ; 
all  these  were  men  of  valour. 

47  ‘’But  six  hundred  men  turned 
and  fied  to  the  wilderness  unto  the 
rock  Rim-mon,  and  abode  in  the 
rock  Bimhnon  four  months. 

48  And  the  men  of  Is-r4-el  turned 
again  upon  the  children  of  Ben-ja- 
min,  and  smote  them  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  as  well  the  men  of 
Qvery  city,  as  the  beast,  and  all 
that  ^ came  to  hand : also  they  set 
on  fire  all  the  cities  that  '^they 
came  to. 

CHAPTER  21. 

1 The  people  bewail  the  desolation  of  Benjamin.  16  The 
elders  consult  how  to  find  wives  for  those  that  are  left. 
23  The  virgins  surprised. 

]^OW  ^the  men  of  Is-ra-6l  had 
sworn  in  Miz-peh,  saying.  There 
shall  not  any  of  us  give  his  daughter 
unto  Ben-ja-min  to  wife. 

2 And  the  people  came  ^to  the 
house  of  God,  and  abode  there  till 
even  before  God,  and  lifted  up  their 
voices,  and  wept  sore ; 

3 And  said,  O Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
why  is  this  come  to  pass  in  IshA-el, 
that  there  should  be  to  day  one 
tribe  lacking  in  Is-ra-el'? 

4 And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 

morrow,  that  the  people  rose  early, 
and  * built  there  an  altar,  and 
offered  burnt  offerings  and  peace 
offerings.  ^ 

5 And  the  children  of  Is-rAel  said. 
Who  is  there  among  all  the  tribes 
of  Is-ra-el  that  came  not  up  with 
the  congregation  unto  the  Lord  % 
"^For  they  had  made  a great  oath 
concerning  him  that  came  not 

to  the  Lord  to  Miz-peh,  saying.  He 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

6 And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  re- 
pented them  for  Ben-ja-min  their 
brother,  and  said.  There  is  one  tribe 
cut  off  from  IshA-el  this  daj^. 

7 How  shall  we  do  for  wives  for 
them  that  remain,  seeing  we  have 
sworn  by  the  Lord  that  we  will 
not  give  them  of  our  daughters  to 
wives  %

and,  behold,  there  were  none  of 
the  inhabitants  of  Ja-besh-gil-6-ad 
there. 

10  And  the  congregation  sent  thi- 
ther twelve  thousand  men  of  the 
valiantest,  and  commanded  them, 
saying,  ^Go  and  smite  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Ja-besh-gil-6-ad  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  with  the  women 
and  the  children. 

11  And  this  is  the  thing  that  ye 
shall  do,  ‘^Ye  shall  utterly  destroy 
every  male,  and  every  woman  that 
%ath  lain  by  man. 

12  And  they  found  among  the 
inhabitants  of  Ja-besh-gil-e-ad  four 
hundred  ^ young  virgins,  that  had 
known  no  man  by  lying  with  any 
male : and  they  brought  them  unto 
the  camp  to  ^Shidoh,  which  is  in 
the  land  of  -Ga-naan. 

13  And  the  whole  congregation 
sent  some  ®to  speak  to  the  children 
of  Ben-ja-min -^that  w(re  in  the  rock 
Rim-mbn,  and  to  ®call  peaceably 
unto  them. 

14  And  Ben-ja-min  came  again  at 
that  time ; and  they  gave  them 
wives  which  they  had  saved  alive 
of  the  women  of  J a-besh-gil-6-ad : 
and  yet  so  they  sufficed  them  not. 

1 5 And  the  people  Yepented  them 
for  Ben-ja-min,  because  that  the 
Lord  had  made  a breach  in  the 
tribes  of  IsYa-el. 

16  ^ Then  the  elders  of  the  con- 
gregation said.  How  shall  we  do  for 
wives  for  them  that  remain,  seeing 
the  women  are  destroyed  out  of 
Ben-ja-min  % 

17  And  they  said.  There  must  be 
an  inheritance  for  them  that  be 
escaped  of  B6n-ja-min,  that  a tribe 
be  not  destroyed  out  of  ls-ra-6l. 

18  Howbeit  we  may  not  give  them 
wives  of  our  daughters : ffor  the 
children  of  IsYa-6l  have  sworn,  say- 
ing. Cursed  be  he  that  giveth  a wife 
to  Ben-ja-min. 

19  Then  they  said.  Behold,  there 
is  a feast  of  the  Lord  in  Shi-loh 
'^yearly  in  a 'place  which  is  on  the 
north  side  of  Beth'-el,  ®on  the  east 
side  ^of  the  highway  that  goeth  up 
from  B6th'-el  to  She-chem,  and  on 
the  south  of  Le-bo-nah. 

20  Therefore  they  commanded  the 
children  of  Ben-ja-minj  saying.  Go 
and  lie  in  wait  in  the  vineyards ; 

21  And  see,  and,  behold,  if  the 
daughters  of  Shi-loh  come  out  ”to 
dance  in  dances,  then  come  ye  out 
of  the  vineyards,  and  catch  you 
every  man  his  wife  of  the  daugh- 
ters of  Shidoh,  and  go  to  the  land 
of  B6n-ja-min.

NOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days 
when  *the  judges  Wuled,  that 
there  was  ‘'a  famine  in  the  land. 
And  a certain  man  of  ‘^Beth-le- 
hem-ju-dah  went  to  sojourn  in  the 
country  of  Mo-ab,  he,  and  his  wife, 
and  his  two  sons. 

2 And  the  name  of  the  man  was 
E-lim-e-leeh,  and  the  name  of  his 
Avife  iSTa-o-mi,  and  the  name  of  his 
two  sons  Mahdon  and  -Ghil-i-On, 
^ Ephdath-ites  of  Beth -led em-ju- 
dah.  And  they  came  ^into  the 
country  of  Mo'ab,  and  ^continued 
there. 

3 And  E-limd-lech  Na-odifs  hus- 
band died ; and  she  was  left,  and 
her  two  sons. 

4 And  they  took  them  wives  of 
the  women  of  Modb ; the  name  of 
the  one  was  Or-pah,  and  the  name 
of  the  other  Ruth : and  they  dwelled 
there  about  ten  years. 

5 And  Mahdon  and  -Ghil-i-Sn  died 
also  both  of  them ; and  the  woman 
was  left  of  her  two  sons  and  her 
husband. 

6 U Then  she  arose  with  her 
daughters  in  law,  that  she  might 
return  from  the  country  of  Modb  : 
for  she  had  heard  in  the  country 
of  Mo-ab  how  that  the  Lord  had 
’’visited  his  people  in  "giving  them 
bread. 

7 Wherefore  she  went  forth  out  of 
the  place  where  she  was,  and  her 
two  daughters  in  law  with  her ; and 
they  went  on  the  way  to  return 
unto  the  land  of  Ju-dah. 

8 And  Na-o-mi  said  unto  her  two 
daughters  in  law,  ’'Go,  return  each

9 The  Lord  grant  you  that  ye  may 
find  "rest,  each  of  you  in  the  house 
of  her  husband.  Then  she  kissed 
them ; and  they  lifted  up  their  voice, 
and  wept. 

10  And  they  said  unto  her.  Surely 
we  will  return  with  thee  unto  thy 
people. 

1 1 And  Na-o-mi  said.  Turn  again, 
my  daughters : why  will  ye  go  with 
me '?  are  there  yet  any  more  sons  in 
my  womb,  "that  they  may  be  your 
husbands  % 

12  Turn  again,  my  daughters,  go 
your  way ; for  I am  too  old  to  have 
an  husband.  If  I should  say,  I 
have  hope,  I should  have  an 
husband  also  to  night,  and  should 
also  bear  sons ; 

13  Would  ye  ‘‘tarry  for  them  till! 
they  were  grown'?  would  ye  stay 
for  them  from  having  husbands  'I 
nay,  my  daughters ; for  ® it  griev- 
eth  me  much  for  your  sakes  that 
‘‘the  hand  of  the  Lord  is  gone  out 
against  me. 

14  And  they  lifted  up  their  voice, 
and  wept  again : and  Or-pah  kissed 
her  mother  in  law;  but  Ruth  ’clave 
unto  her. 

15  And  she  said.  Behold,  thy 
sister  in  law  is  gone  back  unto  her 
people,  and  unto  *her  gods:  ‘return 
thou  after  thy  sister  in  law. 

16  And  Ruth  said,  ’“Intreat®  me 

not  to  leave  thee,  or  to  return  from 
following  after  thee : for  whither 
thou  goest,  I will  go ; and  where 
thou  lodgest.  I will  lodge : ^thy 
people  shall  be  my  people,  and  thy 
God  mv  God : . . . 

17  where  thou  diest,  will  I die, 
and  there  will  I be  buried  : «the 
Lord  do  so  to  me,  and  mor-e  also,  ij 
ought  but  death  part  thee  and  me. 

18  "When  she  saw  that  she  '‘was 
stedfastly  minded  to  go  with  her. 
then  she  left  speaking  unto  her. 

1 9 51  So  they  two  went  until  they 


came  to  Beth'-le-hem.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  they  were  come  to 
Betn -le-hem,  that  “all  the  city  was 
moved  about  them,  and  they  said, 
*/s  this  Na-o-mi  1 

20  And  she  said  unto  them.  Call 
me  not  ^N4-o-mi,  call  me  ^Ma-ra: 
for  the  Almighty  hath  dealt  very 
bitterly  with  me. 

21  I went  out  full,  ‘*and  the  Lord 
hath  brought  me  home  again,  empty: 
why  then  call  ye  me  Na-o-mi,  seeing 
the  Lord  hath  testified  against  me, 
and  the  Almighty  hath  afflicted  me  1 

22  So  Na-o-mi  returned,  and  Ruth 
the  Mo-ab-i-tess,  her  daughter  in 
law,  with  her,  which  returned  out 
of  the  country  of  Mo-ab : and  they 
came  to  Beth'-le-hem  -^in  the  be- 
ginning of  barley  harvest. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Ruth  gleaneth  in  the  fields  of  Boaz.  4 Boat  taking 
knowledge  of  her,  8 sheweth  her  great  favour. 

AND  Na-o-mi  had  a * kinsman  of 
j\.  her  husband’s,  a mighty  man 
of  wealth,  of  the  family  of  E-lim-e- 
lech  ; and  his  name  wa%  ^Bo-az.^ 

2 And  Ruth  the  Mo-ab-i-tess  said 
unto  Na-o-mi,  Let  me  now  go  to 
the  field,  and  glean  ears  of  corn 
after  him  in  whose  sight  I shall 
find  grace.  And  she  said  unto  her. 
Go,  my  daughter. 

3 And  she  went,  and  ca^e,  and 
gleaned  in  the  field  after  the 
reapers  : and  her  ®hap  was  to  light 
on  a part  of  the  field  belonging 
unto  Bo-az,  who  wus  of  the  kindred 
of  E-lim-e-lech. 

4 H And,  behold,  Bo-az  came  from 
Beth'-le-hem,  and  said  unto  the 
reapers,  ^The  Lord  he  with  you. 
And  they  answered  him.  The  Lord 
bless  thee. 

5 Then  said  Bo-az  unto  his  serv- 
ant that  was  set  over  the  reapers. 
Whose  damsel  is  this'? 

6 And  the  servant  that  was  set 
over  the  reapers  answered  and 
said.  It  is  the  Mo-ab-i-tish  damsel 
*^that  came  back  with  Na-o-mi  out 
of  the  country  of  Mo-ab  : 

7 And  she  said,  I pray  you,  let 
me  glean  and  gather  after  the 
reapers  among  the  sheaves : so  she 
came,  and  hath  continued  even 
from  the  morning  until  now,  that 
she  tarried  a little  in  the  house. 

8 Then  said  Bo-az  unto  Ruth 
Hearest  thou  not,  my  daughter  1 
Go  not  to  glean  in  another  field, 
neither  go  from  hence,  but  abide 
here  fast  by  my  maidens : 

9 Let  thine  eyes  he  on  the  field 
that  they  do  reap,  and  go  thou 
after  them:  have  I not  charged

men  have  drawn. 

10  Then  she  ‘'fell  on  her  face,  and 
bowed  herself  to  the  ground,  and 
said  unto  him.  Why  have  I found 
grace  in  thine  eyes,  that  thou 
shouldest  take  knowledge  of  me, 
seeing  I am  a stranger? 

11  And  Bo-az  answered  and  said 
unto  her.  It  hath  fully  been  shewed 
me,  ®all  that  thou  hast  done  unto 
thy  mother  in  law  since  the  death 
of  thine  husband : and  how  thou 
hast  left  thy  father  and  thy  mother, 
and  the  land  of  thy  nativity,  and 
art  come  unto  a people  which  thou 
knewest  not  heretofore. 

12  fi'The  Lord  recompense  thy 
work,  and  a full  reward  be  given 
thee  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el, 

^ under  whose  wings  thou  art  come 
to  trust. 

13  Then  she  said,  ^Let®  me  find 
favour  in  thy  sight,  my  lord ; for 
that  thou  hast  comforted  me,  and 
for  that  thou  hast  spoken  ^friendly 
unto  thine  handmaid,  "'though  I be 
not  like  unto  one  of  thine  hand- 
maidens. 

14  And  Bo-az  said  unto  her.  At 
mealtime  come  thou  hither,  and 
eat  of  the  bread,  and  dip  thy  mor- 
sel in  the  vinegar.  And  she  sat  be- 
side the  reapers : and  he  reached 
her  parched  corn,  and  she  did  eat, 
and  '’was  sufficed,  and  left. 

1 5 And  when  she  was  risen  up  to 
glean,  Bo^az  commanded  his  young 
men,  saying.  Let  her  glean  even 
among  the  sheaves,  and  ^reproach 
her  not: 

16  And  let  fall  also  some  of  the 
handfuls  of  purpose  for  her,  and 
leave  them,  that  she  may  glean 
them,  and  rebuke  her  not. 

17  So  she  gleaned  in  the  field 
until  even,  and  beat  out  that  she 
had  gleaned : and  it  was  about  an 
e-phah  of  barley. 

18  U And  she  took  it  up,  and  went 
into  the  city : and  her  mother  in 
law  saw  what  she  had  gleaned 
and  she  brought  forth,  and  gave 
to  her  "that  she  had  reserved  after 
she  was  sufficed. 

19  And  her  mother  in  law  said 

unto  her.  Where  hast  thou  gleaned 
to  day?  and  where  wroughtest 
thou?  blessed  be  he  that  did  Hake 
knowledge  of  thee.  And  she  shewed 
her  mother  in  law  with  whom  she  ■ 
had  wrought,  and  said.  The  man’s' 
name  with  whom  I wrought  to  day ' 
is  Bo-az.  «

20  And  Na-o-mi  said  unto  her 
daughter  in  law,  “Blessed  he 
of  the  Lord,  who  ^hath  not  leit  oil

her,  The  man  is  near  of  kin  unto

21  And  Ruth  the  Mo-ab-i-tess  said, 
He  said  unto  me  also.  Thou  shalt 
keep  fast  by  my  young  men,  until 
they  have  ended  all  my  harvest. 

22  And  Na-o-mi  said  unto  Ruth 
her  daughter  in  law.  It  is  good,  my 
daughter,  that  thou  go  out  with  his 
maidens,  that  they  ^meet  thee  not 
in  any  other  field. 

23  So  she  kept  fast  by  the  maid-

of  barley  harvest  and  of  wheat  har-

edst  not  young  men,  whether  poor 
or  rich. 

11  And  now,  my  daughter,  fear 
not ; I will  do  to  thee  all  that  thou 
requirest : for  all  the  ^ city  of  my 
peojile  doth  know  that  thou  art 
^a  virtuous  woman. 

12  And  now  h is  true  that  I am 
thy^nea^Y  kinsman:  ho wbeit  ^ there 
is  a kinsman  nearer  than  1. 

13  Tarry  this  night,  and  it  shall  be 
in  the  morning,  that  if  he  will  '‘per- 
form unto  thee  the  part  of  a kins- 
man, well ; let  him  do  the  kinsman’s 
part : but  if  he  will  not  do  the  part 
of  a kinsman  to  thee,  then  will  I 
do  the  part  of  a kinsman  to  thee, 
^as  the  Lord  liveth : lie  down  until 
the  morning. 

14  ^ And  she  lay  at  his  feet  until 
the  morning : and  she  rose  up  be- 
fore one  could  know  another.  And 
he  said,  *Let  it  not  be  known  that 
a woman  came  into  the  floor. 

1 5 Also  he  said.  Bring  the  ^ vail  that 
thou  hast  upon  thee,  and  hold  it. 
And  when  she  held  it,  he  measured 
six  measures  of  barley,  and  laid  it 
on  her : and  she  went  into  the  city. 

16  And  when  she  came  to  her 
mother  in  law,  she  said.  Who  art 
thou,  my  daughter  1 And  she  told 
her  all  that  the  man  had  done  to  her. 

17  And  she  said.  These  six  mea- 
sures of  barley  gave  he  me ; for  he 
said  to  me.  Go  not  empty  unto  thy 
mother  in  law. 

18  Then  said  she,  ^Sit  still,  my 
daughter,  until  thou  know  how  the 
matter  will  fall : for  the  man  will 
not  be  in  rest,  until  he  have  fin- 
ished the  thing  this  day. 

CHAPTER  4. 

1 Boaz  calleth  into  judgment  the  next  kinsman.  6 He  re- 
fuseth  the  redemption  according  to  the  manner  in  Israel. 
9 Boaz  huyeth  the  inheritance,  11  and  marrieth  Ruth. 
13  She  beareth  Obed. 

Then  went  Bo-az  up  to  the  gate, 
and  sat  him  down  there : and, 
behold,  ''the  kinsman  of  wliom 
Bo-az  spake  came  by ; unto  whom 
he  said.  Ho,  such  a one  ! turn  aside, 
sit  down  here.  And  he  turned 
aside,  and  sat  down. 

2  And  he  took  ten  men  of  /the 
elders  of  the  city,  and  said.  Sit  ye 
down  here.  And  they  sat  down. 

3  And  he  said  unto  the  kinsman, 
Na-o'niT,  tliat  is  come  again  out  of 
tlie  country  of  Mo-ab,  selleth  a par- 
cel of  land,  which  was  our  brother

saying,  “Buy  it  * before  the  inhabit- 
ants, and  before  the  elders  of  my 
people.  If  thou  wilt  redeem  it,  re- 
deem it:  but  if  thou  wilt  not  redeem 
it,  then  tell  me,  that  I may  know: 
®ior  there  is  none  to  redeem  it  be- 
side thee ; and  I am  after  thee.  And 
he  said,  I will  redeem  it. 

5 Then  said  Bo-az,  What  day  thou 
buyest  the  field  of  the  hand  of  Na- 
o-mi,  thou  must  buy  it  also  of 
Ruth  the  Mo-ab-i-tess,  the  wife  of 
the  dead,  *to  raise  up  the  name  of 
the  dead  upon  his  inheritance. 

6 ^ ^And  the  kinsman  said,  I can- 
not redeem  it  for  myself,  lest  1 mar 
mine  own  inheritance : redeem  thou 
my  right  to  thyself;  for  I cannot 
redeem  it. 

7 "Now  this  was  the  manner  in 
former  time  in  Is-ra-6l  concerning 
redeeming  and  concerning  chang- 
ing, for  to  confirm  all  things ; a 
man  plucked  off  his  shoe,  and  gave 
it  to  his  neighbour : and  this  was  a 
testimonv  in  Is-ra-6l. 

8 Therefore  tbe  kinsman  said  unto 
Bo-az,  Buy  it  for  thee.  So  he  drew 
off  his  shoe. 

9 U And  Bo-az  said  unto  the  elders, 
and  unto  all  the  people.  Ye  are  wit- 
nesses this  day,  that  I have  bought 
all  that  was  E-lim-e-lech’s,  and  all 
that  was  -Uhil-i-On’s  and  Mah-l5n’s, 
of  the  hand  of  Na-o-mi. 

10  Moreover  Ruth  the  Mo-ab-i-tess, 
the  wife  of  Mah-lCn,  have  I pur- 
chased to  be  my  wife,  to  raise  up 
the  name  of  the  dead  upon  his

brethren,  and  from  the  gate  of  his

IVTOW  there  was  a certain  man 
ly  of  Ra-math-a4m-zo-phim,  of 
mount  E-phra-im,  and  his  name 
was  ‘^El-ka-nah.  the  son  of  Jer-b- 
ham,  the  son  or  E-h-hu,  the  son  of 
To-hu,  the  son  of  Ziiph,  ®an  Eph- 
rath-ite : 

2 And  he  had  two  wives;  the 
name  of  the  one  was  Han-nah,  and 
the  name  of  the  other  Pe-nin-nah ;

and  Pe-nin-nah  had  children,  but 
Han-nah  had  no  children. 

3 And  this  man  went  up  out  of 
his  city  “yearly^  *to  worship  and  to 
sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  of  hosts  in 
‘'Shi-loh.  And  the  two  sons  of  Edi, 
Hbph-ni  and  Phin-b-has,  the  priests 
of  the  Lord,  were  there. 

4 H And  when  the  time  was  that 
El-ka-nah  -^offered,  he  gave  to  Pe- 
nin-nah  his  wife,  and  to  all  her  sons 
and  her  daughters,  portions:

worthy  portion ; for  he  loved  Han- 
nah : *but  the  Lord  had  shut  up  her 
womb. 

6 And  her  adversary  also  pro- 
voked^ her  sore,  for  to  make  her 
fret,  because  the  Lord  had  shut  up 
her  womb. 

7 And  as  he  did  so  year  by  year, 
^®when  she  went  up  to  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  so  she  provoked  her ; 
therefore  she  wept,  and  did  not 

8 Then  said  El-ka-nah  her  hus- 
band to  her,  Han-nah,  why  weepest 
thou'?  and  why  eatest  thou  not'?  and 
why  is  thy  heart  grieved'?  am  not  I 
^better  to  thee  than  ten  sons'? 

9 ^ So  Han-nah  rose  up  after  they 
had  eaten  in  Shidoh,  and  after  they 
had  drunk.  Now  Edi  the  priest  sat 
upon  a seat  by  a post  of  '‘the  temple 
of  the  Lord. 

10  *And  she  was  ®in  bitterness  of 
soul,  and  prayed  unto  the  Lord, 
and  wept  sore. 

1 1 And  she  'vowed  a vow,  and  said, 
0 Lord  of  hosts,  if  thou  wilt  indeed 
"look  on  the  affliction  of  thine  hand- 
maid, and  ‘'remember  me,  and  not 
forget  thine  handmaid,  but  wilt  give 
unto  thine  handmaid  ’a  man  child, 
then  I will  give  him  unto  the  Lord 
all  the  days  of  his  life,  and  « there 
shall  no  razor  come  upon  his  head. 

1 2 And  it  came  to  pass,  as  she  ® con- 
tinued praying  before  me  Lord,  that 
Edi  marked  her  mouth. 

13  Now  Han-nah,  she  spake  in  her 
heart ; only  her  lips  moved,  but  her 
voice  was  not  heard  : therefore  Edi 
thought  she  had  been  drunken. 

14  And  Edi  said  unto  her.  How 
long  wilt  thou  be  drunken'?  put 
away  thy  wine  from  thee. 

15  And  Han-nah  answered  and 
said.  No,  my  lord,  I am  a woman 
^of  a sorrowful  spirit : I have  drunk 
neither  wine  nor  strong  drink,  but 
have  'poured  out  my  soul  before  the 
Lord. 

16  Count  not  thine  handmaid  for 
a daughter  of  *Bedi-al:  for  out  of 
the  abundance  of  my  ^complaint 
and  grief  have  I spoken  hitherto. 

17  Then  Edi  answered  and  said, 
“Go  in  peace:  and  ''the  God  of  Is- 
ra-6l  grant  thee  thy  petition  that 
thou  hast  asked  of  him. 

18  And  she  said,  ® Let  thine  hand- 
maid find  grace  in  thy  sight.  So  the 
woman  ■''went  her  way,  and  did  eat, 
and  her  countenance  was  no  more 
sad. 

, 19  U And  they  rose  up  in  che  morn- 
ing early,  and  worshipped  before 
the  Lord,  and  returned,  and  came

ka-nah  “knew  Han-nah  his  wife; 
and  ‘’the  Lord  remembered  her. 
20^Yherefore  it  came  to  pass,  ^ when 
the  time  was  come  about  after  Han- 
nah had  conceived,  that  she  bare  a 
son,  and  called  his  name  ^Sam-u-el, 
saying,  Because  I have  asked  him  of 
the  Lord. 

21  And  the  man  El-ka-nah,  and  all 
his  house,  went  up  to  offer  unto  the 
Lord  the  yearly  sacrifice,  and  his 
vow. 

22  But  Han-nah  went  not  up ; fpr 
she  said  unto  her  husband,  / will 
not  go  up  until  the  child  be  weaned, 
and  then  I will  ® bring  him,  that  he 
may  appear  before  the  Lord,  and 
there  ^'^ide  for  ever. 

23  And  El-ka-nah  her  husband 
said  unto  her,  Do  what  seemeth  thee 
good ; tarry  until  thou  have  weaned 
him:  'only  the  Lord  establish  his 
word.  So  the  woman  abode,  and 
gave  her  son  suck  until  she  weaned 
him. 

24  ^ And  when  she  had  weaned 
him,  she  ’"took  him  up  with  her, 
with  three  bullocks,  and  one  e-phah 
of  flour,  and  a bottle  of  wine,  and 
brought  him  unto  ^the  house  of  the 
Lord  in  Shidoh : and  the  child  was 
young. 

25  And  they  slew  a bullock,  and 
brought  the  child  to  Edi. 

26  And  she  said.  Oh  my  lord,  ^as 
thy  soul  liveth,  my  lord,  I am  the 
woman  that  stood  by  thee  here, 
praying  unto  the  Lord. 

27  * For  this  child  I prayed ; and 
the  Lord  hath  given  me  my  peti- 
tion which  I asked  of  him : 

28  Therefore  also  I have  ^lent  him 
to  the  Lord  ; as  long  as  he  liveth  ^he 
shall  be  lent  to  the  Lord.  And  he 
worshipped  the  Lord  there.

5 ^They  that  were  full  have  hired 
out  themselves  for  bread ; and  they 
that  were  hungry  ceased:  so  that 
®the  barren  hatli  born  seven ; and 
^she  that  hath  many  children  is 
waxed  feeble. 

6 -^The  Loe.1)  killeth,  and  maketh

7 The  Loud  ''maketh  poor,  and 
ma^keth  rich:  *he  bringeth  low, 
and  lifteth  up. 

8 'He  raiseth  up  the  poor  out  of 
the  dust,  and  lifteth  up  the  beg- 
gar from  the  dunghill,  ”to  set  them 
among  princes,  and  to  make  them 
inherit  the  throne  of  glory:  for 
^’the  pillars  of  the  earth  are  the 
Lokd^s,  and  he  hath  set  the  world 
upon  tnem. 

9 «He  will  keep  the  feet  of  his 
saints,  and  the  wicked  shall  be 
silent  in  darkness ; for  by  strength 
shall  no  man  prevail. 

10  The  adversaries  of  the  Lord 
shall  be  ® broken  to  pieces ; 'out  of 
heaven  shall  he  thunder  upon  them : 
^'the  Lord  shall  judge  the  ends  of 
the  earth;  and  he  shall  give  strength 
unto  his  king,  and  ^ exalt  the  horn 
of  his  anointed. 

1 1 And  El-ka-nah  went  to  Ra-mah 
to  his  house,  ^/^nd  the  child  did 
minister  unto  the  Lord  before  Edi 
the  priest. 

12  ^ Now  the  sons  of  Edi  were 
'’sons  of  Bedi-al;  ‘'they  knew  not 


the  Lord. 

13  And  the  priest’s  custom  with 
the  people  was,  that,  when  any 
man  offered  sacrifice,  the  priest’s 
servant  came,  while  the  flesh  was 
in  seething,^  with  a fleshhook  of 
three  teeth  in  his  hand; 

14  And  he  struck  it  into  the  pan, 
or  kettle,  or  caldron,  or  pot ; all 
that  the  fleshhook  brought  up  the 
priest  took  for  himself.  So  tlmy 
did  in  Shi-loh  unto  all  the  Is-ra 


el-ites  that  came  thither. 

15  Also  before  they  ''burnt  the  fat, 
the  priest’s  servant  came,  and  said 
to  the  man  that  sacrificed.  Give  flesh 
to  roast  for  the  priest ; for  he  will  not 
have  sodden  flesh  of  thee,  but  raw. 

1 6 And  if  any  man  said  unto  him. 
Let  them  not  fail  to  burn  the  fat 
® presently,  and  then  take  as  much 
as  thy  soul  desireth ; then  he  would 
answer  him.  Nay;  but  thou  shalt 
give  it  me  now:  and  if  not,  I will 
take  it  by  force. 

17  Wherefore  the  sin  of  the  young 
men  was  very  great  ” before  the 
Lord  : for  men  ‘'abhorred  the  offer- 
ing of  the  Lord.

21  And  the  Lord  visited  Han- 
nah, so  that  she  conceived,  and 
bare  three  sons  and  two  daugh- 
ters. And  the  child  Samdi-el  "grew 
before  the  Lord. 

22  ^ Now  Edi  was  very  old,  and 
heard  all  that  his  sons  did  unto 
all  Isd4-el ; and  how  they  lay  with 
^the  women  that  ^assembled  at  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con-

ye  such  things  % for  hear  of  your 
evil  dealings  by  all  this  people. 
i^24  Nay,  my  sons;  for  it  is  no  good 
report  that  I hear:  ye  make  the 
Lord’s  people  ^to  transgress. 

25  If  one  man  sin  against  another, 
the  judge  shall  judge  him:  but  if 
a man  ^sin  against  the  Lord,  who 
shall  in  treat  for  him'?  Notwith- 
standing they  hearkened  not  unto 
the  voice  of  their  father,  “because 
the  Lord  would  slay  them. 

26  And  the  child  Sam-u-el  grew 
on,  and  was  ‘'in  favour  both  with 
the  Lord,  and  also  with  men. 

27  ^ "And  there  came  a man  of 
God  unto  Edi,  and  said  unto  him. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  ^Did  I plainly 
appear  unto  the  house  of  thy  father,^ 
when  they  were  in  E-gypt  in  Pha-

all  the  tribes  of  IsdA-el  to  be  my 
priest,  to  offer  upon  mine  altar to 
burn  incense,  to  wear  an  eph-5d

the  house  of  thy  father  all  the  offer-

CHAPTEE  3. 

1 Bow  the  word  of  the  Lord  was  first  revealed  to  Samuel. 
11  God  telleth  Samuel  the  destruction  of  Eli's  house.  19 
Samuel  groweth  in  credit. 

AND  *the  child  Sam-u-el  minis- 
tered  unto  the  Lord  before  Edi. 
And  *the  word  of  the  Lord  was 
precious  in  those  days ; there  was 
no  open  vision. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  at  that  time, 
when  Edi  was  laid  down  in  his 

§lace,  “and  his  eyes  began  to  wax 
im,  that  he  could  not  see; 

3  And  ere  *the  lamp  of  God  v/ent 
out  ^in  the  temple  of  the  Lord, 
where  the  ark  of  God  was,  and 
Sam-u-ffi  was  laid  down  to  sleep; 

4  That  the  Lord  called  Sam-u-6l : 
and  he  answered.  Here  am  I. 

5  And  he  ran  unto  Edi,  and  said. 
Here  am  I ; for  thou  calledst  me. 
And  he  said,  I called  not ; lie 
down  again.  And  he  went  and  lay 
down. 

6  And  the  Lord  called  yet  again, 
Sam-u-gl._  And  Sam-u-6l  arose  and 
went  to  Edi,  and  said.  Here  am  I ; 
for  thou  didst  call  me.  And  he 
answered,  I called  not,  my  son;  lie 
down  again.

God  calleth  Samuel. 

i ^1^4ow  Sam-u-6l  *did  not  yet 
know  the  Lord,  neither  was  the 
word  of  the  Lord  yet  revealed  unto 

8 And  the  Lord  called  Sam-u-el 

again  the  third  time.  And  he  arose 
and  went  to  Edi,  and  said.  Here  am 
I ; for  thou  didst  call  me.  And  Edi 
perceived  that  the  Lord  had  called 
the  child.  _ . ^ ^ , 

9 Therefore  Edi  said  unto  Sam- 
u-el,  Go,  lie  down : and  it  shall  be, 
if  he  call  thee,  that  thou  shalt  say, 
Speaffi  Lord  ; for  thy  servant  hear- 
eth.  So  Sam-u-el  went  and  lay  down 
in  his  place. 

10  And  the  Lord  came,  and  stood, 
and  called  as  at  other  times,  Sam- 
u-el,  Sam-u-el.  Then  Sam-u-el  an- 
swered, Speak;  for  thy  servant 
heareth. 

11  H And  the  Lord  said  to  Sam- 

u-gl.  Behold,  I will  do  a thing  in 
Is-ra-el,  '^at  which  both  the  ears 
of  every  one  that  heareth  it  shall 
tingle.  . 

1 2 In  that  day  I will  perform  against 
Edi  ^all  things  which  I have  spoken 
concerning  his  house : ^when  I be- 
gin, I will  also  make  an  end. 

13  ”For®  I have  told  him  that  I 
will  “judge  his  house  for  ever  for 
the  iniquity  which  he  knoweth; 
because  ^his  sons  made  themselves 
®vile,  and  he  « restrained^  them 
not. 

14  And  therefore  I have  sworn 

unto  the  house  of  Edi,  that  the 
iniquity  of  Edi’s  house  ^ shall  not 
be  purged  with  sacrifice  nor  offer- 
ing for  ever.  , 

15  H And  Sam-u-el  lay  until  the 
morning,  and  opened  the  doors  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  Sam- 
u-el  feared  to  shew  Edi  the  vision. 

16  Then  Edi  called  Sam-u-el,  and 
said,  Sam-u-el,  my  son.  And  he 
answered.  Here  am  I.  ^ 

17  And  he  said.  What  is  the  thing 
that  the  Lord  hath  said  unto  theel 
I pray  thee  hide  it  not  from  me : 
*God  do  so  to  thee,  and  ^more  also, 
if  thou  hide  any  ‘Hhing  from  me  of 
all  the  things  that  he  said  unto  thee. 

18  And  Sam-u-6l  told  him  ^every 
whit,  and  hid  nothing  from  him. 
And  he  said,  “It  is  the  Lord  : let 
him  do  what  seemeth  him  good. 

19  ^ And  Sam-u-ffi  /grew,  and 
“the  Lord  was  with  him,  ‘^and  did 
let  none  of  .his  words  fall  to  the 
ground.  ^ 

20  And  all  I§-ra-6l  “from  Dan  even 
to  Be-6r-she-ba  knew  that  Sam-u-el 
was  '^established  to  he  a prophet  of 
the  Lord. 

21  And  the  Lord  appeared  again 


271 


in  Shi-loh:  for  the  Lord  revealed 
himself  to  Sam-u-el  in  Sliidoh  by 
“the  word  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  4. 

1 The  Israelites  are  overcome  by  the  Philistines.  11  The 
ark  is  taken,  and  Uophni  and  Phinehas  are  slain.  18 
Mi,  at  the  news,  falleth  backward,  and  breaketh  his  neck 
1&  I-chabod  is  bom. 

AND  the  word  of  Sam-u-el  ^^came 
j\.  to  all  Is-ra-el.  Now  Is-ra-el 
went  out  against  the  Phi-lis-tines 
to  battle,  and  pitched  beside  -^Eb- 
6n-e-zer  : and  the  Phi -lis  Hines 
pitched  in  A-phek. 

2 And  the  Phi-lisHines  put  them- 
selves in  array  against  IsHa-el : and 
when  Hhey  joined  battle,  IshA-el 
was  smitten  before  the  Phi-lis-tines : 
and  they  slew  of  ^the  army  in  the 
field  about  four  thousand  men. 

3 II  And  when  the  people  were 
come  into  the  camp,  tne  elders  of 
IsHa-el  said.  Wherefore  hath  the 
Lord  smitten  us  to  day  before  the 
Phi-lisHines  1 Let  us  ^ fetch  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  out  of 
Shi-loh  unto  us,  that,  when  it  com 
eth  among  us,  it  may  save  us  out 
of  the  hand  of  our  enemies. 

4 So  the  people  sent  to  Shi-loh, 
that  they  might  bring  from  thence 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  ^wLich  dv/elleth  be- 
tween ^ the  cher-Q-bims : and  the 
two  sons  of  Edi,  HbphHi  and 
PhinH-has,  were  there  with  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  God. 

5 ’And  when  the  ark  of  the  cov- 
enant of  the  Lord  came  into  the 
camp,  all  IsHa-el  shouted  with  a 
great  shout,  so  that  the  earth  rang 
again. 

6 And  when  the  Phi-lisHines  heard 
the  noise  of  the  shout,  they  said, 
What  meaneth  the  noise  of  this 
^eat  ^hout  in  the  camp  of  the 
He-brews'?  And  they  understood 
that  the  ark  of  the  Lord  was  come 
into  the  camp. 

7 And  the  Phi-lisHines  were  afraid, 
for  they  said,  God  is  come  into  the 
camp.  And  they  said.  Woe  unto 
us  1 for  there  hath  not  been  such 
a thing  ^heretofore. 

8 Woe  unto  us  ! who  shall  deliver 
us  out  of  the  hand  of  these  mighty 
Gods  1 these  are  the  Gods  that 
smote  the  E-gypHians  with  all  the 
plagues  in  the  wilderness. 

9 "Be  strong,  and  quit  yourselves 
like  men,  O ye  Phi-lisHines,  that  ye 
be  not  servants  unto  the  He-bre'ws, 
^as  they  have  been  to  you : ®quit 
yourselves  like  men,  and  fight. 

10  H And  the  Phi-lis-tines  fought, 
and  ’’IsHa-el  was  smitten,  and  they 
fied  every  man  into  his  tent : and

tnere  was^  a very  great  slaughter ; 
for  there  fell  of  IsH4-el  thirty  thou- 
sand footmen. 

1 1 And  Hhe  ark  of  God  was  taken; 
and  "the  two  sons  of  Edi,  HOphHi 
and  Phin-e-has,  ^were  slain. 

12  And  there  ran  a man  of  BSn- 
j Amin  out  of  the  army,  and  ‘^came 
to  Shidoh  the  same  day  with  his 
clothes  rent,  and  "with  earth  upon 
his  head. 

13  And  when  he  came,  lo,  Edi  sat 
upon  ^a  seat  by  the  wayside  watch- 
ing : for  his  heart  trembled  for  the 
ark  of  God.  And  when  the  man 
came  into  the  city,  and  told  it,  all 
the  city  cried  oiR. 

14  And  when  Edi  heard  the  noise 
of  the  crying,  he  said.  What  mean- 
eth the  noise  of  this  tumult '?  And 
the  man  came  in  hastily,  and  told 
EdT. 

15  Now  Edi  was  ninety  and  eight 
years  old;  and  ^his  eyes  ®were  dim, 
that  he  could  not  see. 

16  And  the  man  said  unto  Edi,  I 
am  he  that  came  out  of  the  army, 
and  I fled  to  day  out  of  the  army. 
And  he  said,  AVhat  ®is  there  done, 
my  son  1 

17  And  the  messenger  answered 
and  said,  Isda-el  is  fled  before  the 
Phi-lisHines,  and  there  hath  been 
also  a great  slaughter  among  the 
people,  _ and  thy  two  sons  also, 
HophHi  and  PhinH-has,  are  dead, 
and  the  ark  of  God  is  taken. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
made  mention  of  the  ark  of  God, 
that  he  fell  from  off  the  seat  back- 
ward by  the  side  of  the  gate,  and 
his  neck  brake,  and  he  died  : for  he 
was  an  old  man,  and  heavy.  ®And 
he  had  judged  IsHa-el  forty  years. 

19  ^ And  his  daughter  in  law, 
Phin-e-has’  wife,  was  with  child, 
near  Ho  be  delivered:  and  when 
she  heard  the  tidings  that  the  ark 
of  God  was  taken,  and  that  her 
father  in  law  and  her  husband 
were  dead,  she  bowed  herself  and 
travailed  ; for  her  pains  ^ came  up- 
on her. 

20  And  about  the  time  of  her  death 
”"the  women  that  stood  by  her  said 
unto  her.  Fear  not ; for  thou  hast 
born  a son.  But  she  answered  not, 
‘‘neither  did  she  regard  it. 

21  And  she  named  the  child  ”1'- 
cha-bdd,®  saying,  f The  glory  is  de- 
parted from  IsHa-el : because  the 
ark  of  God  was  taken,  and  because 
of  her  father  in  law  and  her  hus- 
band. 

22  And  she  said.  The  glory  is  de- 
parted from  IsHa-el : for  the  ark  of 
God  is  taken.

Dagon  falleth  down. 


I.  SAMUEL,  5,  6.  The  ark  with  the  Philistines. 


CHAPTER  5. 

1 The  Philistines  set  the  ark  in  the  house  of  Dwjon.  3 
Dagon  is  smitten  down  and  cut  in  pieces.  6,  9,  12  Tlte 
Philistines  are  smitten  tvith  emerods. 

AND  the  Phi-hs-tines  took  the  ark 
of  God,  and  brought  it  *from 
Eb-en-e-zer  unto  Ash-dOd. 

2 When  the  Phi-lis-tines  took  the 
ark  of  God,  they  brought  it  into 
the  house  of  ‘=Da%On,  and  set  it  by 
Da-gon. 

3 And  when  they  of  Ash-dOd 
arose  early  on  the  morrow,  behold, 
Da-gon  was  ‘^fallen  upon  his  face 
to  the  earth  before  the  ark  of  the 
Lord.  And  they  took  Da-gdn,  and 
^set  him  in  his  place  again. 

4 And  when  they  arose  early  on 
the  morrow  morning,^  behold,  Da- 
gdn  was  fallen  upon  his  face  to  the 
ground  before  the  ark  of  the  Lord  ; 
and  ^the  head  of  Da-gdn  and  both 
the  palms  of  his  hands  were  cut  off 
upon  the  threshold  ; only  ‘^the  stumif 
of  Da%dn  was  left  to  him. 

5 Therefore  neither  the  priests  of 
Da%dn,  nor  any  that  come  into  Da- 
gdn’s  house,  Rread  on  the  threshold 
of  Da-gdn  in  Ash-ddd  unto  this  day. 

6 But  '"‘the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
heavy  upon  them  of  Ash-dod,  and 
he  ” destroyed  them,  and  smote 
them  with  ^emerods,  even  A sh-ddd 
and  the  coasts  thereof. 

7 And  when  the  men  of  Ash-ddd 
saw  that  it  was  so,  they  said.  The 
ark  of  the  God  of  ts^ra-dl  shall  not 
abide  with  us : for  His  hand  is  sore 
upon  us,  and  upon  Da%dn  our  god. 

8 They  sent  therefore  and  gath- 
ered all  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
unto  them,  and  said.  What  shall  v/e 
do  with  the  ark  of  the  God  of  Is- 
ra-dl '?  And  they  answered,  Let  the 
ark  of  the  God  of  Is-ra-el  be  carried 
about  unto  Gath.  And  they  car- 
ried the  ark  of  the  God  of  Is-ra-el 
about  thither. 

9 And  it  was  so,  that,  after’  they 
had  carried  it  about,  ^ the  hand  of 
the  Lord  was  against  the  city  “with 
a very  great  destruction : and  ‘^he 
smote  the  men  of  the  city,  both 
small  and  great,  and  they  had  em- 
erods in  their  secret  parts. 

10  ^ Therefore  they  serit  the  ark 
of  God  to  Ek-ron.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  as  the  ark  of  God  came  to  Ek- 
ron,  that  the  Ek-ron-ites  cried  out, 
saying.  They  have  brought  aliout 
the  ark  of  the  God  of  Is-ra-el  to  “us, 
to  slay  us  and  our  people. 

1 1 So  they  sent  and  gathered  to- 
gether all  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis- 
tines,  and  said,  Send  away  the  ark 
of  the  God  of  IshA-el,  and  let  it  go 
again  to  his  own  place,  that  it  slay

1 2  And  the  men  that  died  not  were 
smitten  with  the  emerods  : and  the 
cry  of  the  city  went  up  to  heaven. 

CHAPTER  6. 

1 The  Philistines  take  counsel  how  to  send  back  the  ark. 

10  They  brinj  it  on  a new  cart  with  an  offering  unto 

Ucth-shemesh.  19  The  pteople  are  smitten  for  looking 

into  the  ark. 

AHD  the  ark  of  the  Lord  was  in 
the  country  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
seven  months. 

2 And  the  Phi-lis- tines  ® called  for 
the  priests  and  the  diviners,  saying. 
What  shall  we  do  to,  the  ark  of  the 
Lord  ^ tell  us  wherewith  we  shall 
send  it  to  his  place. 

3 And  they  said.  If  ye  send  away 
the  ark  of  the  God  of  IsAa-el,  send 
it  not  '‘empty ; but  in  any  wise  re- 
turn him  ‘a  trespass  offering : then 
ye  shall  be  healed,  and  it  shall  '‘be 
known  to  you  why  his  hand  is  not 
removed  from  you. 

4 Then  said  they.  What  shall  he 
the  trespass  offering  which  we  shall 
return  to  him  % They  answered. 
Five  golden  emerods,  and  five  gold- 
en mice,  '‘according  to  the  number 
of  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis-tines  : for 
one  plague  was  on  ^ you  all,  and  on 
your  lords. 

5 Wherefore  ye  shall  make  im- 
ages of  your  emerods,  and  images 
of  your  mice  that  ^ mar  the  land ; 
and  ye  shall  ^give  glory  unto  the 
God  of  Is-ra-el : peradventure  he 
will  lighten  his  hand  from  off  you, 
and  from  off  * your  gods,  and  from 
off  your  land. 

6 Wherefore  then  do  ye  harden 
your  hearts,  “as  the  E-gyp-tians  and 
Phah-aoh  hardened  their  hearts  % 
when  he  had  wrought  wonderfully 
among  them,  did  they  not  let  “ the 
people  go,  and  they  departed  1 

7 Now  therefore  make  ^a  new  cart, 
and  take  two  milch  kine,  ''on  which 
there  hath  come  no  yoke,_  and  tie 
the  kine  to  the  cart,  and  bring  their 
calves  home  from  them  : 

8 And  take  the  ark  of  the  Lord, 
and  lay  it  upon  the  cart ; and  put 
''the  jewels  of  gold,  wliich  ye  rC' 
turn  him  for  a trespass  offering,  in 
a coffer-  by  the  sicle  thereof ; and 
send  it  away,  that  it  may  go. 

9 And  sec,  if  it  goctli  up  by  the 
way  of  his  own  coast  to  ‘'’Bcth- 
she-m6sh,  then  ''he^  hath  done  us 
this  great  evil : but  if  not,  then we 
shall  know  that  it  is  not  his  hand 
that  smote  us ; it  was  a chance  that 
happened  to  us.

Restoration  of  the  arh. 


1.  SAMUEL,  7. 


The  Israelites  repent. 


10  U And  the  men  did  so;  and 
took  two  milch  kine,  and  tied  them 
to  the  cart,  and  shut  up  their  calves 
at  home ; 

11  And  they  laid  the  ark  of  the 
Lord  upon  the  cart,  and  the  coffer 
with  the  mice  of  gold  and  the  im- 
ages of  their  emerods. 

12  And  the  kine  took  the  straight 
way  to  the  way  of  Beth-she-mesh, 
and  went  along  the  highway,  low- 
ing as  they  went,  and  turned  not 
aside  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the 
left ; and  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  went  after  them  unto  the  bor- 
der of  Beth-she-mesh. 

13  And  they  of  Beth-she-mesh 
were  reaping  their  wheat  harvest 
in  the  valley : and  they  lifted  up 
their  eyes,  and  saw  the  ark,  and 
rejoiced  to  see  it. 

14  And  the  cart  came  into  the  field 
of  J5sh-u-a,  a Beth-she-mite,  and 
stood  there,  where  there  ivas  a great 
stone : and  they  clave  the  wood  of 
the  cart,  and  offered  the  kine  a 
burnt  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

1 5 And  the  Le-vites  took  down  the 
ark  of  the  Lord,  and  the  coffer  that 
was  with  it,  wherein  the  jewels  of 
gold  were,  and  put  them  on  the 
great  stone  : and  the  men  of  Beth- 
she-mesh  offered  burnt  offerings 
and  sacrificed  sacrifices  the  same 
day  unto  the  Lord. 

16  And  when  *the  five  lords  of  the 
Phi-lis-tines  had  seen  it,  they  re- 
turned to  £]kh’5n  the  same  day. 

17  ”And  these  are  the  golden 
emerods  which  the  Phi-lis-tines  re- 
turned for  a trespass  offering  un- 
to  the  Lord  ; for  Ash-d5d  one,  for 
Ga-za  one,  for  As-ke-l5n  one,  for 
Gath  one,  for  Ek-rOn  one; 

18  And  the  golden  mice,  accord- 
ing to  the  number  of  all  the  cities 
of  the  Phi-lis-tines  belonging  to  the 
five  lords,  both  of  fenced  cities,  and 
of  country  villages,  even  unto  the 
^ great  stone  of  A-bel,  whereon  they 
set  down  the  ark  of  the  Lord  : 
which  stone  remaineth  unto  this  day 
in  the  field  of  J6sh-u-a,  the  Beth- 
she-mite. 

19  H And  ^he  smote  the  men  of 
Beth-she-mesh,  because  they  had 
looked  into  the  ark  of  the  Lord, 
even  he  smote  of  the  people  fifty 
thousand  and  threescore  and  ten 
men : and  the  people  lamented,  be- 
cause the  Lord  had  smitten  many 
of  the  people  with  a great  slaughter. 

20  And  the  men  of  B6th-she-mesh 
said,  *Who  is  able  to  stand  before 
this  holy  Lord  God  % and  to  whom 
shall  he  go  up  from  us  1

1 The  ark.  is  brought  into  the  house  of  A binadab.  3 The 
Israelites  solemnly  repent.  13  The  Philistines  are  sub- 
dued. 15  Samuel  judgeth  Israel. 

AND  the  men  of  ^Kir-jath-je-a-rim 
came,  and  fetched  up  the  ark 
of  the  Lord,  and  brought  it  into  the 
bouse  of  A-bm-a-dab  in  the  hill, 
and  sanctified  E-14-a-zar  his  son  to 
keep  the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

2 And  it  came  to  pass,  while  the 
ark  abode  in  Kir-jatb-je-a-rim,  that 
the  time  was  long ; for  it  was  twenty 
years : and  all  the  house  of  Is-ra-el 
lamented  after  the  Lord. 

3 IT  And  Sam-u-el  spake  unto  all 
tbe  house  of  IshA-el,  saying.  If  ye 
do  return  unto  the  Lord  with  all 
your  hearts,  then  ®put  away  the 
strange  gods  and  -A-shRa-rSth  from 
among  you, and  ^prepare  your  hearts 
unto  the  Lord,  and  serve  him  only : 
and  he  will  deliver  you  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  Phi-lisRines. 

4 Then  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  did 
put  away  Ba-al-im  and  Ash-ta-rOth, 
and  served  the  Lord  only. 

5 And  Sam-u-el  said,  * Gather  all 
Is-ra-el  to  Miz-p6h,  and  I will  pray 
for  you  unto  the  Lord. 

6 And  they  gathered  together 
to  Miz-jieh,  ^and  drew  water,  and 
poured  it  out  before  the  Lord,  and 
""fasted  on  that  day,  and  said  there, 
"We  have  sinned  against  the  Lord. 
And  Sam-u-el  judged  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el  in  Miz^eh. 

7 And  when  the  Phi-lisRines  heard 
that  the  children  of  IshA-el  were 
gathered  together  to  Miz-peh,  the 
lords  of  the  Phi-lis-tines  went  up 
against  Is-ra-6l.  And  when  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el  heard  it,  they 
were  afraid  of  the  Phi-lis-tines. 

8 And  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l  said  | 

to  Sam-u-el,  ^ Cease  ^ not  to  cry  unto  i 
the  Lord  our  God  for  us,  that  he  | 
will  save  us  out  of  the  hand  of  the  j 
Phi-lisRines.  _ < 

9 H And  Sam-u-el  tpok  a sucking  \ 
lamb,  and  offered  it  for  a burnt  i 
offering  wholly  unto  the  Lord  : and  i 
"Sam-u-6l  cried  unto  the  Lord  for  I 
Is-ra-el ; and  the  Lord  ^ heard  him.  i 

10  And  as  Sam-u-el  was  offering  ■ 
up  the  burnt  offering,  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  drew  near  to  battle  against  ; 
Ish*a-el : ®but  the  Lord  thundered 
with  a great  thunder  on  that  day  ^ 
upon  the  Phi-lis-tines,  and  discom-  : 
fited  them ; and  they  were  smitten 
before  Is-ra-6l. 

1 1 And  the  men  of  L?-ra-el  went 


274 


I.  SAMUEL,  8,  9. 


The  manner  of  a king. 


out  of  Miz-peh,  and  pursued  the 
Phi-lis-tines,  and  smote  them,  until 
they  came  under  Beth'-ear. 

12  Then  Sam-u-el  “took  a stone, 
and  set  it  between  Miz'peh  and 
Shen,  and  called  the  name  of  it 
3 Eb-en-e-zer,  sa^ng.  Hitherto  hath 
the  Lord  helped  us. 

13  *11  So  the  Phi-hs-tines  were  sub- 
dued, and  they  ‘^  came  no  more  into 
the  coast  of  Is-ra-el : and  the  hand 
of  the  Lord  was  against  the  Phi-hs- 
tines  all  the  days  of  Sam-u-el. 

14  And  the  cities  which  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  had  taken  from  Is-ra-el  were 
restored  to  Is-ra-el,  from  Ek-ron 
even  unto  Gath;  and  the  coasts 
thereof  did  Is-ra-el  deliver  out  of 
the  hands  of  the  Phi-lis-tines.  And 
there  was  peace  between  Is-ra-el 
and  the  Am-6r-ites. 

15  And  Sam-u-el  f judged  Is-ra-el 
all  the  days  of  his  life. 

16  And  he  went  from  year  to  year 
*in  circuit  to  Beth'-el,  and  Gil-gal, 
and  Miz-peh,  and  judged  Is-ra-el  in 
all  those  places. 

1 7 And  diis  return  was  to  Ra-mah ; 
for  there  ivas  his  house ; and  there 
he  judged  Is-ra-el;  and  there  he 
*huilt  an  altar  unto  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  8. 

1 The  Israelites  ask  a king.  6 Samuel  praying  in  grief  is 

comforted  by  God.  10  He  telleth  the  manner  of  a king. 

19  God  willeth  Samuel  to  yield  unto  the  importunity  of 

the  people. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  Sam- 
u-el  was  old,  that  he  * made  his 
’"sons  judges  over  Ish4-6l. 

2 Now  the  name  of  his  firstborn 
was  ® Jo-el;  and  the  name  of  his 
second,  A-bl-ah : they  were  judges 
in  Be-er-she-ba. 

3 And  his  sons  " walked  not  in  his 
ways,  but  turned  aside  after  lucre, 
and  ’’took  bribes,  and  perverted 
judgment. 

4 Then  all  the  elders  of  Is-ra-6l 
gathered  themselves  together,  and 
came  to  Sam-u-el  unto  Ra-mah, 

5 And  said  unto  him,  Behold,  thou 
art  old,  and  thy  sons  walk  not  in 
thy  ways  : now  * make  us  a king  to 
judge  us  like  all  the  nations. 

6 if  But  the  thing  ’displeased  Sam- 
u-gl,  when  they  said.  Give  us  a king 
to  judge  us.  And  Sam-u-6l  prayed 
unto  the  Lord. 

7 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sam-u-el, 
Hearken  unto  the  voice  of  the  peo- 
ple in  all  that  they  say  unto  thee : 
for  *they  have  not  rejected  thee, 
but  ^they  have  rejected  me,  that  I 
should  not  reign  over  them. 

8 According  to  all  the  works  which 
they  have  done  since  the  day  that  I 
brought  them  up  out  of  E-gypt  even 


unto  this  day,  wherewith  they  have 

forsaken  me,  and  served  other  gods, 
so  do  they  also  unto  thee. 

9 Now  therefore  ^hearken  unto 
their  voice : howbeit  yet  protest 
solemnly  unto  them,  and  ^shew 
them  the  manner  of  the  king  that 
shall  reign  over  them. 

10  il  And  Sam-u-el  told  all  the 
words  of  the  Lord  unto  the  people 
that  asked  of  him  a king. 

1 1 And  he  said,  **  This  will  be  the 
manner  of  the  king  that  shall  reign 
over  you  : -^He  will  take  your  sons, 
and  appoint  them  for  himself,  for  his 
chariots,  and  to  be  his  horsemen ; and 
some  shall  run  before  his  chariots. 

12  And  he  will  appoint  him  cap- 
tains over  thousands,  and  captains 
over  fifties  ; and  will  set  them  to  ear 
his  ground,  and  to  reap  his  harvest, 
and  to  make  his  instruments  of  war, 
and  instruments  of  his  chariots. 

1 3 And  he  will  take  your  daugh- 
ters to  he  confectionaries,  and  to  he 
cooks,  and  to  be  bakers. 

14  And  ^he  will  take  your  fields, 
and  your  vineyards,  and  your  olive- 
yards,  even  the  best  of  them,  and 
give  them  to  his  servants. 

15  And  he  will  take  the  tenth  of 
your  seed,  and  of  j^our  vineyards, 
and  give  to  his  ^officers,  and  to  his 
servants. 

1 6 And  he  will  take  your  menserv- 
ants,  and  your  maidservants,  and 
your  goodliest  young  men,  and  your 
asses,  and  put  them  to  his  work. 

1 7 He  will  take  the  tenth  of  your 
sheep : and  ye  shall  be  his  servants. 

18  And  ye  shall  cry  out  in  that 
day  because  of  your  king  which  ye 
shall  have  chosen  you ; and  the 
Lord  ‘’will  not  hear  you  in  that  day. 

19  ^ Nevertheless  the  people_^  re- 
fused to  obey  the  voice  of  Sam-u-6l; 
and  they  said.  Nay ; but  we  will 
have  a king  over  us ; 

20  That  we  also  may  be  dike  all 
the  nations ; and  that  our  king  may 
judge  us,  and  go  out  before  us,  and 
fight  our  battles. 

21  And  8am-u-6l  heard  all  the 
words  of  the  people,  and  he  re- 
hearsed them  in  tlie  ears  of  the 
Lord. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  to  Sam-u-6l, 
"Hearken  unto  their  voice,  and 
make  them  a king.  And  Samto-6l 
said  unto  the  men  of  Is-r4-6l,  Go  ye 
every  man  unto  his  city.

Saul  is  sent  to  seek  I. 

the  son  of  A-bi-el,  the  son  of  Ze-ror, 
the  son  of  Be-«ho-rath,  the  son  of 
A-phi-ah,  ^a  Ben-ja-mite,  a mighty 
man  of  ^ power. 

2 And  he  had  a son,  whose  name 
was  Saul,  a choice  young  man,  and 
a goodly  : and  there  was  not  among 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el  a goodlier 
person  than  he : ^from  his  shoulders 
and  upward  he  ivas  higher  than  any 
of  the  people. 

3 And  tne  asses  of  Kish  Saul’s 
father  were  lost.  And  Kish  said  to 
Saul  his  son,  Take  now  one  of  the 
servants  with  thee,  and  arise,  go 
seek  the  asses. 

4 And  he  passed  through  mount 
ET^hra-im,  and  passed  through  the 
land  of  ‘^Shal-i-sha,  but  they  found 
them  not : then  they  passed  through 
the  land  of  Shadim,  and  there  they 
were  not : and  he  passed  through 
the  land  of  the  Ben-ja-mites,  but 
they  found  them  not. 

5 And  -when  they  were  come  to 
the  land  of  Ziiph,  Saul  said  to  his 
servant  that  was  with  him,  Come, 
and  let  us  return ; lest  my  father 
leave  caring  for  the  asses,  and  take 
thought  for  us. 

6 And  he  said  unto  him.  Behold 
now,  there  is  in  this  city  '"a  man  of 
God,  and  he  is  an  honourable  man  ; 
%11  that  he  saitli  cometh  surely  to 
pass : now  let  us  go  thither ; per- 
adventure  he  can  shew  us  our  way 
that  we  should  go. 

7 Then  said  Saul  to  h^s  servant. 
But,  behold,  if  we  go,  ^ what  shall 
we  bring  the  manl  for  the  bread 
’is  spent  in  our  vessels,  and  there  is 
not  a present  to  bring  to  the  man 
of  God:  what  ®have  we'? 

8 And  the  servant  answered  Saul 
again,  and  said.  Behold,  G have 
here  at  hand  the  fourth  part  of  a 
shgk-el  of  silver  : that  will  I give  to 
the  man  of  God,  to  tell  us  our  way. 

9 (Beforetime  in  IsbA-el,  when  a 
man  "went  to  enquire  of  God,  thus 
he  spake,  Come,  and  let  us  go  to 
the  seer : for  he  that  is  now  called 
a Prophet  was  beforetime  called  ""a 
Seer.) 

10  Then  said  Saul  to  his  servant, 
^Well  said;  come,  let  us  go.  So 
they  went  unto  the  city  where  the 
man  of  God  was. 

11  *fl  And,  as  they  went  up  ^the 
hill  to  the  city,  ®they  found  young 
maidens  going  out  to  draw  water, 
and  said  unto  them,  Is  the  seer 
here'? 

12  And  they  answered  them,  and 
said,  He  is ; behold,  he  is  before 
you : make  haste  now,  for  he  came 
to  day  to  the  city ; for  there  is  a 


9.  his  father^ s asses. 

^sacrifice  of  the  people  to  day  “in 
the  high  place : 

1 3 As  soon  as  ye  be  come  into  the 
city,  ye  shall  straightway  find  him, 
before  he  go  up  to  the  high  place 
to  eat : for  the  people  will  not  eat 
until  he  come,  because  he  doth  bless 
the  sacrifice ; and  afterwards  they 
eat  that  be  bidden.  Now  therefore 
get  you  up ; for  about  ^this  time  ye 
^all  find  nim. 

14  And  they  went  up  into  the 
city : amdl  when  they  were  come 
into  the  city,  behold,  Sam-u-el  came 
out  against  them,  for  to  go  up  to 
the  high  place. 

15  II  ‘'Now  the  Loep  had  ®told 
Sam-u-el  in  his  ear  a day  before 
Saul  came,  saying, 

16  To  morrow  about  this  time  I 
will  send  thee  a man  out  of  the 
land  of  Ben-ja-min,  "and  thou  shalt 
anoint  him  to  he  captain  over  my 
people  IsAa-el,  that  he  may  save 
my  people  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
Phi-lis-tines : for  I have  •'^looked 
upon  my  people,  because  their  cry 
is  come  unto  me. 

17  And  when  Sam^u-6l  saw  Saul, 
the  Lord  said  unto  him, ^Behold  the 
man  whom  I spake  to  thee  of ! this 
same  shall  ® reign  over  my  people. 

18  Then  Saul  drew  near  to  Sam- 
u-el  in  the  gate,  and  said.  Tell  me,  I 
pray  thee,  where  the  seer’s  house  is. 

19  And  Sam-u-6l  answered  Saul, 
and  said,  I am  the  seer : go  up  be- 
fore me  unto  the  high  place ; for  ye 
shall  eat  with  me  to  day,  and  to 
morrow  I will  let  thee  go,  and  will 
tell  thee  all  that  is  in  thine  heart. 

20  And  as  for  Hhine  asses  that 
were  lost  ^ three  days  ago,  set  not 
thy  mind  on  them;  for  they  are 
found.  And  on  whom  ‘^is  all  the 
desire  of  Is-ra-el '?  Is  it  n ot  on  thee, 
and  on  all  thy  father’s  house  *? 

21  And  Saul  answered  and  said, 
'^Am  not  I a Ben-ja-mite,  of  the 
^tsmallest  of  the  tribes  of  IsAa-el? 
and  ®my  family  the  least  of  all  the 
families  of  the  tribe  of  Ben-ja-min '? 
wherefore  then  speakest  thou  ‘-^so 
to  me '? 

22  And  Sam-u-el  took  Saul  and 
his  servant,  and  brought  them  into 
the  parlour,  and  made  them  sit  in 
the  chiefest  place  among  them  that 
were  bidden,  which  were  about 
thirty  persons. 

23  And  Sambi-el  said  unto  the 
cook.  Bring  the  portion  which  I 
gave  thee,  of  which  I said  unto 
thee,  Set  it  by  thee. 

24  And  the  cook  took  up  Hhe 
shoulder,  and  that  which  was  upon 
it,  and  set  it  before  Saul.  And

for  unto  this  time  hath  it  been

1 Samuel  anointeth  Saul.  2 lie  confirmeth  him  by  predic-

prophesieth.  17  /7«  is  chosen  at  Mizpeh  by  lot.  26  The 
different  affections  of  his  subjects. 

Then  ^Sam-u-gl  took  a vial  of 
oil,  and  poured^  it  upon  his 
head,  *and  kissed  him,  and  said. 
Is  it  not  because  Hhe  Lord  hath 
anointed  thee  to  be  captain  over 
”his  inheritance'? 

2  When  thou  art  departed  from  me 
to  day^  then  thou  shalt  find  two  men 
bj’’  “Ra-chers  sepulchre  in  the  bor- 
der of  Ben-ja-min  ^at  Zel-zah  ; and 
they  will  say  unto  thee.  The  asses 
which  thou  wentest  to  seek  are 
found:  and,  lo,  thy  father  hath  left 
“the  care  of  the  asses,  and  sorrow- 
eth  for  you,  saying,  Wdiat  shall  I 
do  for  my  son'? 

3  Then  shalt  thou  go  on  forward 
from  thence,  and  thou  shalt  come 
to  the  plain  of  Ta-bor,  and  there 
shall  meet  thee  three  men  going  up

three  kids,  and  another  carrying 
three  loaves  of  bread,  and  another 
carrying  a bottle  of  v/ine : 

4  And  they  will  ^salute  thee,  and 
give  thee  two  loaves  of  bread ; which 
thou  shalt  receive  of  their  hands. 

5  After  that  thou  shalt  come  to 
the  hill  of  God,  where  is  the  garri- 
son of  the  Phi-lis-tine§ : and  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  when  thou  art  come

are  come  unto  thee,  '^that  thou  do

with  thee. 

8 And  thou  shalt  go  down  before 
me  ‘'to  Gil-gal ; and,  behold,  I will 
come  down  unto  thee,  to  offer  burnt 
offerings,  and  to  sacrifice  sacrifices

9 ^ And  it  was  so,  that  when  he 
had  turned  his  ^back  to  go  from 
Sam-u-el,  God  ®gave  him  another 
heart : and  all  those  signs  came  to 
pass  that  day. 

10  And  ^when  they  came  thither 
to  the  hill,  behold,  ^a  company  of 
prophets  met  him ; and  the  Spirit 
of  God  came  upon  him,  and  he 
prophesied  among  them. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all 
that  knew  him  beforetime  sav/  that, 
behold,  he  prophesied  among  the 
prophets,  then  the  people  said  'one 
to  another.  What  is  this  that  is  come 
unto  the  son  of  Kish '?  Us  Saul  also 
among  the  prophets '? 

12  And  one  “^of  the  same  place 
answered  and  said.  But  ^ who  is 
their  father  ? Therefore  it  became 
a proverb.  Is  Saul  also  among  the 
prophets '? 

13  And  when  he  had  made  an 
end  of  prophesying,  he  came  to 
the  high  place. 

1 4 H And  Saul’s  uncle  said  unto  him 
and  to  his  servant,  AV  hither  went 
ye?  And  he  said.  To  seek  the  asses: 
and  when  we  saw  that  they  were  no 
where,  we  came  to  Sam-u-el. 

15  And  Saul’s  uncle  said.  Tell  me, 
I pray  thee,  what  Sam-u-el  said 
unto  you. 

16  And  Saul  said  unto  his  uncle. 
He  told  us  plainly  that  the  asses 
were  found.  But  of  the  matter 
of  the  kingdom,  whereof  Sam-u-el 
spake,  he  told  him  not. 

17  And  Samh“i-6l  called  the  peo- 

S'e  together  ’’unto  the  Lord  *to 
iz-peh ; 

18  And  said  unto  the  children  of 
TsUa-^l,  ‘Thus  saith  the  Loip  God 
of  IsUa-el,  I brought  up  tshA-61  out 
of  E-gypt,  and  delivered  you  out  of

by  your  thousands.  _ 

20  And  when  Sam-u-el  had  “caused 
ail  the  tribes  of  Is-ra-el  to  come 
near,  the  tribe  of  Ben-ja-min  was 
taken. 

21  When  he  had  caused  the  tribe 
of  Ben-ja-min  to  come  near  by  their 
families,  the  family  of  Ma-tri  was 
taken,  and  Saul  the  son  of  Kish 
was  taken ; and  when  they  sought 
him,  he  could  not  be  found. 

22  Therefore  they  enquired  of  the 
Loed  further,  if  the  man  should  yet 
come  thither.  And  the  Loed  an- 
swered, Behold,  he  hath  hid  himself 
among  the  stuff. 

23  And  they  ran  and  fetched  him 
thence : and  when  he  stood  among 
the  people,  ®'he  was  higher  than  any 
of  the  people  from  his  shoulders 
and  upward. 

24  And  Sam-u-6l  said  to  all  the 
people.  See  ye  him  '*^whom  the  Loed 
hatn  chosen,  that  there  is  none  like 
him  among  all  the  people  I _ And  all 
the  people  shouted,  and  said,  *God^ 
save  the  king. 

25  Then  Sam-u-6l  told  the  people 
’^the  manner  of  the  kingdom,  and 
wrote  it  in  a book,  and  laid  it  up 
before  the  Loed.  And  Sam-u-el  sent 
all  the  people  away,  every  man  to 
his  house. 

26  H And  Saul  also  went  home  Ho 
Gib-e-ah  ; and  there  went  with  him 
a band  of  men,  whose  hearts  God 
had  touched. 

27  ^But  the  ^children  of  Bedi-al 
said.  How  shall  this  man  save  us? 
And  they  despised  him,  and 
brought  him  no  presents.  But  '^he 
held  his  peace.

Then  “Nadiash  the  Am-m6n-Ite 
_ came  up,  and  encamped  against

2 And  Na-hash  the  Am-mhn-ite  an-

'’all  the  people  lifted  up  their  voices, 
and  wept. 

5 And,  behold,  Saul  came  after  the 
herd  out  of  the  field ; and  Saul  said, 
What  aileth  the  people  that  they 
weep  ? And  they  told  him  the  tid- 
ings of  the  men  of  Ja-besh. 

6 “And  the  Spirit  of  God  came 
upon  Saul  when  he  heard  those 
tidings,  and  his  anger  was  kindled 
greatly. 

7 And  he  took  a yoke  of  oxen,  and 
“hewed  them  in  pieces,  and  sent 
them  throughout  all  the  coasts  of 
Is-ra-el  by  the  hands  of  messengers, 
saying,  •''Whosoever  cometh  not 
forth  after  Saul  and  after  Sam-u-el, 
so  shall  it  be  done  unto  his  oxen. 
And  the  fear  of  the  Loed  fell  on 
the  people,  and  they  came  out  ^with 
one  consent. 

8 And  when  he  numbered  them  in 
*Be-zek,  the  children  *of  Is-ra-6l 
were  three  hundred  thousand,  and 
the  men  of  Ju-dah  thirty  thousand. 

9 And  they  said  unto  the  messen- 
gers that  came.  Thus  shall  ye  say 
unto  the  men  of  Ja-b6sh-giTe-^ad, 
To  morrow,  by  that  time  the  sun 
be  hot,  ye  shall  have  ®help.  And 
the  messengers  came  and  shewed 
it  to  the  men  of  Ja-besh ; and  they 
were  glad. 

10  Therefore  the  men  of  Ja-besh 
said.  To  morrow  “we  will  come  out 
unto  you,  and  ye  shall  do  with  us 
all  that  seemeth  good  unto  you. 

11  And  it  was  so  on  the  morrow, 
that  ®Saul  put  the  people  Hn  three 
companies  ; and  they  came  into  the 
midst  of  the  host  in  the  morning 
watch,  and  slew  the  Am-m6n-ites 
until  the  heat  of  the  day : and  it 
came  to  pass,  that  they  which  re- 
mained were  scattered,  so  that  two 
of  them  were  not  left  together. 

12  II  And  the  people  said  unto 
Sam-u-el,  "=Who  is  he  that  said. 
Shall  Saul  reign  over  us?  Hring 
the  men,  that  we  may  put  them  to 
death. 

13  And  Saul  said,  '’There  shall  not 
a man  be  put  to  death  this  day  : for 
to  day  Hhe  Loed  hath  wrought  sal- 
vation in  Is-ra-el. 

14  Then  said  Sam-u-6l  to  the  peo- 
ple, Come,  and  let  us  go  “to  Gil-gal, 
and  renew  the  kingdom  there. 

15  And  all  the  people  went  to 

GiTgal ; and  there  they  made  Saul 
king  ^before  the  Loed  in  Gil-gM.: 
and  ^ there  they  sacrificed  sacrifices 
of  peace  offerings  before  the  Loed  : 
and  there  Saul  and  all  the  men  of 
Is-ra-el  rejoiced  greatly.  ‘ 


Samuel  reproveth  the

people  of  ingratitude. 


CHAPTER  12. 

1 Samrnl  testifieth  his  integrity.  6 He  reproveth  the  peo- 
ple of  ingratitude.  16  He  terrifieth  them  with  thunder 
in  harvest  time.  20  He  comforteth  them  in  God's  mercy. 

AND  Sam-u-el  said  unto  all  Is- 
ra-el,  Behold,  I have  hearkened 
unto  *your  voice  in  all  that  ye  said 
unto  me,  and  ‘^have  made  a king 
over  you. 

2 And  now,  behold,  the  king-^walk- 
eth  before  you : '"and  I am  old  and 
grayheaded;  and,  behold,  my  sons 
are  with  you : and  I have  walked 
before  you  from  my  childhood  unto 
this  day. 

3 Behold,  here  I am:  witness  a- 

gainst  me  before  the  Loed,  and  be- 
fore ^ his  anointed : whose  ox  have 
I taken  1 or  whose  ass  have  I taken'? 
or  whom  have  I defrauded  1 whom 
have  I oppressed '?  or  of  whose  hand 
have  I received  any  '^to  ® blind 

mine  eyes  therewith  1 and  I will  re- 
store it  you. 

4 And  they  said.  Thou  hast  not 
defrauded  us,  nor  oppressed  us, 
neither  hast  thou  taken  ought  of 
any  man’s  hand. 

5 And  he  said  unto  them.  The 
Lord  is  witness  against  you,  and 
his  anointed  is  witness  this  day, 
*that  ye  have  not  found  ought  *in 
my  hand.  And  they  answered.  He 
is  witness. 

6 ^ And  Sam-u-el  said  unto  the 
people,  ^It  is  the  Lord  that  ® ad- 
vanced Mo-ses  and  Aar-5n,  and  that 
brought  your  fathers  up  out  of  the 
land  of  E-gypt. 

7 Now  therefore  stand  still,  that  I 
may  ^reason  with  you  before  the 
Lord  of  all  the  ® righteous  acts  of 
the  Lord,  which  he  did  '^to  you  and 
to  your  fathers. 

8 *When  Ja-c5b  was  corne  into 
E-gypt,  and  your  fathers  ‘'cried  un- 
to the  Lord,  then  the  Lord  ‘^sent 
Mo-ses  and  Aar-6n,  which  brought 
forth  your  fathers  out  of  _E-gypt, 
and  made  them  dwell  in  this  place. 

9 And  when  they  ®forgat  the  Lord 
their  God,  ^he  sold  them  into  the 
hand  of  Sis-6-ra,  captain  of  the  host 
of  Ha-z6r,  and  into  the  hand  of  Hhe 
Phi-hs-tines,  and  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  *of  Mo-ab,  and  they  fought 
against  them. 

10  And  they  cried  unto  the  Lord, 
and  said,  "We  have  sinned,  because 
we  have  forsaken  the  Lord,  ^’and 
have  served  Ba-al-im  and  Ash-ta- 
r6th : but  now  deliver  us  out  of 
the  hand  of  our  enemies,  and  we 
will  serve  thee. 

11  And  the  Lord  sent  *Jer-ub-ba- 
al,  and  Be-dan,  and  ^Jgph-thah,  and 
*Sam-u-6l,  and.  delivered  you  out  of

the  hand  of  your  enemies  on  every 
side,  and  ye  dwelled  safe. 

12  And  when  ye  saw  that  Na-hash 
the  king  of  the  children  of  Am-mon 
came  against  you,  “ye  said  unto  me. 
Nay  ; but  a king  shall  reign  over 
us : when  ‘'the  Lord  your  God  was 
your  king. 

13  Now  therefore  "behold  the  king 
^whom  ye  have  chosen,  a^ud  whom 
ye  have  desired ! and,  behold,  *the 
Lord  hath  set  a king  over  you. 

14  If  ye  will  *fear  the  Lord,  and 
serve  him,  and  obey  his  voice,  and 
not  rebel  against  the  ^command- 
ment of  the  JLORD  then  shall  both 
ye  and  also  the  king  that  reigneth 
over  you  ^continue  following  the 
Lord  your  God : 

1 5 But  if  ye  will  ’"not  obey  the  voice 
of  the  Lord,  but  rebel  against  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord,  then 
shall  the  hand  of  the  Lord  be  a- 
gainst  you,  as  it  was  against  your 
fathers. 

16  H Now  therefore  ^ stand  and  see 
this  great  thing,  which  the  Lord 
will  do  before  your  eyes. 

17  is  it  not  ® wheat  harvest  to  day*? 
will  call  unto  the  Lord,  and  he 

shall  send  thunder  and  rain ; that 
ye  may  perceive  and  see  that  “your 
wickedness  is  great,  which  ye  have 
done  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  in 
asking  you  a king. 

18  So  Sam-u-el  called  unto  the 
Lord  ; and  the  Lord  sent  thunder 
and  rain  that  day : and  ^ all  the 
people  greatly  feared  the  Lord  and 
Sam-u-el. 

19  And  all  the  people  said  unto 
Sam-u-el,  “Pray  for  thy  servants 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  that  we 
die  not : for  we  have  added  unto  all 
our  sins  this  evil,  to  ask  us  a king. 

20  51  And  Sam-u-el  said  unto  the 
people^  Fear  not:  ye  have  done  all 
this  wickedness : yet  turn  not  aside 
from  following  the  Lord,  but  serve 
the  Lord  with  ail  your  heart ; 

21  And  ■'‘turn  ye  not  aside:  ffor 
then  should  ye  go  after  vain  things, 
which  cannot  profit  nor  deliver; 
for  they  are  vain. 

22  For  *the  Lord  will  not  forsake 
his  people  "“for  his  great  name’s 
sake : because  “ it  hath  pleased  the 
Lord  to  make  you  his  pemile. 

23  Moreover  as  for  me,  God  for- 
bid that  I should  sin  against  the 
Lord  ^in®  ceasing  to  pray  for  you : 
but  H will  teach  you  the  ^good  and 
the  right  way : 

24  “Only  fear  the  Lord,  and  serve

hath  done  for  you.

CHAPTER 

1 Saul's  selected  band.  3 He  calleth  tM  Hebrews  to  Gilgal 
against  the  Philistines,  whose  garrison  Jonathan  had 
smitten.  5 The  Philistines  great  host.  6 Bistress  of  the 
Israelites.  8 Saul,  weary  of  staying  for  Samuel,  sacri- 
ficeth.  11  Samuel  reproveth  him.  19  The  policy  of  the 
Philistines,  to  suffer  no  smith  in  Israel. 

SAUL  2 reigned  one  year;  and 
“when  he  had  reigned  two 
years  over  Is-ra-6l, 

2 Saul  chose  him  three  thousand 
men  of  Is-ra-6l ; whereof  two  thou- 
sand were  with  Saul  in  Mich-mash 
and  in  mount  Beth'-el,  and  a thou- 
sand were  with  Jon-a-than  in  ®Grib- 
e-ah  of  Ben-ja-mln : and  the  rest  of 
the  people  he  sent  every  man  to  his 
tent.  ^ - 

3 And  J6n-a-than  smote  '^the  gar- 
rison of  the  Phi-lis-tines  that  was  in 
®Ge-ba,  and  the  Phi-lis-tines  heard 
of  it.  And  Saul  blew  the  trumpet 
throughout  all  the  land,  saying,  Let 
the  He-brews  hear. 

4 And  all  Is-ra-el  heard  say  that 
Saul  had  smitten  a garrison  of  the 
Phi-lis-tines,  and  that  Is-rAel  also 
^was  had  in  abomination  with  the 
Phi-lis-tines.  And  the  people  were 
called  together  after  Saul  to  Gil-gal. 

5 IT  And  the  Phi-lis-tines  gathered 
themselves  together  to  fight  with 
Ish-a-el,  thirty  thousand  chariots, 
and  six  thousand  horsemen,  and 
people  as  the  sand  which  is  on  the 
sea  shore  in  multitude:  and  the^ 
came  up,  and  pitched  in  _ Mich- 
mash,  eastward  from  Beth-a-ven. 

6 When  the  men  of  Is-ra-el  saw 
that  they  were  in  a strait,  (for  the 
people  were  distressed,)  then  the 
people  "“did  hide  themselves  in 
caves,  and  in  thickets,  and  in  rocks, 
and  in  high  places,  and  in  pits. 

7 And  some  of  the  He-brews  went 
over  Jor-dan  to  the  land  of  Gad  and 
Gil-e-ad.  As  for  Saul,  he  was  yet 
in  Gil-gal,  and  all  the  people  ’ fol- 
lowed him  trembling. 

8 ^ ^And  he  tarried  seven  days, 
according  to  the  set  time  that  Sam- 
u-el  had  appointed:  but  Sam-u-el 
came  not  to  Gil-gal ; and  the  people 
were  scattered  from  him. 

9 And  Saul  said.  Bring  hither  a 
burnt  offering  to  me,  and  peace 
offerings.  And  he  offered  the 
burnt  offering. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  as 
soon  as  he  had  made  an  end  of 
offering  the  burnt  offering,  behold, 
Sam-u-6l  came ; and  Saul  went  out  to 
meet  him,  that  he  might  ^ salute  him.

thou  done'?  And  Saul  said.  Because 
T saw  that  the  people  were  scattered 
from  me,  and  that  thou  earnest  not 
within  the  days  appointed,  and  that 
the  Phi-lis-tines  gathered  themselves 
together  at  Mich-mash ; 

12  'Therefore  said  I,  The  Phi-lis- 
tines  will  come  down  now  upon 
me  to  Gil-gal,  and  I have  not  ^made 
supplication  unto  theLoKD ; I forced 
myself  therefore,  and  offered  a burnt 
offering. 

13  And  Sam-u-el  said  to  Saul, 
‘^Thou  hast  done  foolishly:  ‘^thou 
hast  not  kept  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  thy  God.,  which  he  com- 
manded thee:  for  now  would  the 
Lord  have  established  thy  king- 
dom upon  Ish*a-el  for  ever. 

14  But  now  thy  kingdom  shall  not 
continue:  ^the  Lord  hath  sought 
him  a man  after  his  own  heart, 
and  the  Lord  hath  commanded 
him  to  be  captain  over  his  people, 
because  thou  hast  not  kept  thoi 
which  the  Lord  commanded  thee. 

15  And  Sam^u-el  arose,  and  gat 
him  up  from  Gil-gM  unto  Gib-e-Mi 
of  Ben-ja-min.  And  Saul  numbered 
the  people  that  were  “^present  with 
him,  "about  six  hundred  men. 

16  And  Saul,  and  J5n-a-than  his 
son,  and  the  people  that  were,  pres- 
ent with  them,  abode  in  ®Gib-e-ah 
of  Ben-ja-min : but  the  Phi-lis-tines 
encamped  in  Mich-mash. 

n ^ And  the  spoilers  came  out  of 
the  camp  of  the  Phi-lis-tines  in  three 
companies : one  company  turned  un- 
to the  way  that  leadeth  to  *Oph-rah, 
unto  the  land  of  Shu-al : 

18  And  another  company  turned 
the  way  to  ^ Beth-ho-r5n : and  an- 
other company  turned  to  the  way 
of  the  border  that  looketh  to  the 
valley  of  ’"Ze-bo^m  toward  the  wil- 
derness. 

19  ^ Now  “there  was  no  smith 
found  throughout  all  the  land  of 
Is-ra-el : for  the  ^i-lis-tines  said. 
Lest  the  He-hrews  make  them 
swords  or  spears : 

20  But  all  the  Is-rAel-ites  went 
down  to  the  Phi-lis-tines,  to  sharpen 
every  man  his  share,  and  his  coul- 
ter, and  his  ax,  and  his  mattock. 

21  Yet  they  had  ®a  file  for  the 
mattocks,  and  for  the  coulters,  and 
for  the  forks,  and  for  the  axes,  and 
^to  sharpen  the  goads. 

22  So  it  came  to  pass  in  the  day 
of  battle,  that  « there  was  neither 
sword  nor  spear  found  in  the  hand 
of  any  of  the  people  that  were  with 
Saul  and  J6n-a-than:  but  with  Saul 
and  with  J5n-a-than  his  son  was 
there  found.

■\rOW  ^it  came  to  pass  upon  a 
day,  that  J5n-a-than  the  son 
of  Saul  said  unto  the  young  man 
that  bare  his  armour,  Come,  and 
let  us  go  over  to  the  Phi-lis-tines’ 
garrison,  that  is  on  the  other  side. 
But  he  told  not  his  father. 

2 And  Saul  tarried  in  the  utter- 
most part  of  Gib-e-ah  under  a pome- 
granate tree  which  is  in  Mig-rOn : 
and  the  peojile  that  were  with  him 
were  ‘"about  six  hundred  men ; ^ 

3 And  ‘^A-hi-ah,  the  son  of  A-hi-

of  Phin-e-has,  the  son  of  Edi,  the 
Lord’s  priest  in  Shidoh,  ^wearing 
an  eph-od.  And  the  people  knew 
not  that  Jbn-a-than  was  gone. 

4 U And  between  the  passages,  by 
which  J6n-a-than  sought  to  go  over 
*unto  the  Phi-lis- tines’  garris9n,  there 
was  a sharp  rock  on  the  one  side,  and 
a sharp  rock  on  the  other  side : and 
the  name  of  the  one  was  Bo-zez,  and 
the  name  or  the  other  Se-neh. 

5 The  ® forefront  of  the  one  was 
situate  northward  over  against 
Mich-mash,  and  the  other  south- 
ward over  against  Gib-e-ah. 

6 And  J5n-a-than  said  to  the  young 
man  that  bare  his  armour.  Come, 
and  let  us  go  oyer  unto  the  garri- 
son of  these  uncircumcised : it  may 
be  that  the  Lord  will  work  for  us : 
for  there  is  no  restraint  to  the  Lord 
"‘to  save  by  many  or  by  few. 

7 And  his  armourbearer  said  unto 
him,  Do  all  that  is  in  thine  heart : 
turn  thee ; behold,  I am  with  thee 
according  to  thy  heart. 

8 Then  said  J5n-a-than,  Behold, 
we  will  pass  over  unto  these  men, 
and  we  will  discover  ourselves  un- 
to them. 

9 If  they  say  thus  unto  us,  ® Tarry 
until  we  come  to  you  ; then  we  will 
stand  still  in  our  place,  and  will  not 
go  up  unto  them. 

10  But  if  they  say  thus.  Come  up 
unto  us;  then  we  will  go  up : for 
the  Lord  hath  delivered  them  into 
our  hand : and  "this  shall  he  a sign 
unto  us. 

11  And  both  of  them  discovered

answered  J5n-Athan  and  his  ar- 

mourbearer, and  said.  Come  up  to 
us,  and  we  will  shew  you  a thing. 
And  J(3n-a-than  said  unto  his  ar- 
mourbearer,- Come  up  after  me : 
for  the  Lord  hath  delivered  them 
into  the  hand  of  IshA-el. 

13  And  J5n-a- than  climbed  up  up- 
on his  hands  and  upon  his  feet,  and 
his  armourbearer  after  him : and 
they  fell  before  JOn-a-than-  and 
his  armourbearer  slew  after  hini. 

14  And  that  first  slaughter,  which 
Jon-a-than  and  his  armourbearer 
made,  was  about  twenty  men.  with- 
in as  it  were  ^an  half  acre  oi  land, 
which  a yoke  of  oxen  might  plow. 

15  And  * there  was  tremoling  in 
the  host,  in  the  field,  and  among 
all  the  people:  the  garrison,  and 
■^the  spoilers,  they  also  trembled, 
and  the  earth  quaked : so  it  was 
'‘a"^  very  great  trembling. 

16  And  the  watchmen  of  Saul  in 
Gib-e-ah  of  Ben-.ia-min  looked ; and, 
behold,  the  multitude  melted  away, 
and  they  Gvent  on  beating  down 
one  another. 

1 7 Then  said  Saul  unto  the  people 
that  were  with  him.  Number  now, 
and  see  who  is  gone  from  us.  And 
when  they  had  numbered,  behold, 
J5n-a-than  and  his  armourbearer 
were  not  there. 

18  And  Saul  said  unto  A-hi-ah, 
Bring  hither  the  ark  of  God.  For 
the  ark  of  God  was  at  that  time 
with  the  children  of  Is-ra-el. 

19  51  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
Saul  Halked  unto  the  priest,  that 
the  ® noise  that  was  in  the  host  of 
the  Phi-lis-tines  went  on  and  in- 
creased : and  Saul  said  unto  the 
priest.  Withdraw  thine  hand. 

20  And  Saul  and  all  the  people 
that  were  with  him  assembled 
themselves,  and  they  came  to  the 
battle : and,  behold,  "every  n.an’s 
sword  was  against  his  fellow,  ana 
there  was  a very  great  disccmfiture. 

21  Moreover  the  He-bre'ws  that 
were  with  the  Phi-lis-tines  before 
that  time,  which  went  up  with 
them  into  the  camp  from  the  coun- 
try round  about,  even  they  also 
turned  to  be  v/ith  the  IshA-el-ites 
that  ivere  with  Saul  and  JCn-a-than. 

22  Likewise  all  the  men  of  Is' 
ra-el  which  ^liad  hid  themselves  in 
mount  E-phra-im,  when  they  heard 
that  the  Phi-lis-tines  fled,  even  they 
also  followed  hard  after  them  in  the 
battle. 

23  So  the  Lord  saved  Is-ra-el  that 
day:  and  the  battle  passed  over 
"unto  B6th-aWen.  ^

distressed  that  day:  for  Saul  had 
“"adjured  the  people,  saying.  Cursed 
he  the  man  that  eateth  any  food 
until  evening,  that  I may  be  a- 
venged  on  mine  enemies.  So  none 
of  the  people  tasted  any  food. 

25  ''And  all  they  of  the  land  came 
to  a wood;  and  there  was  honey 
upon  the  ground. 

26  And  when  the  people  were 
come  into  the  wood,  behold,  the 
honey  dropped;  but  no  man  put 
his  hand  to  his  mouth:  for  the 
people  feared  the  oath. 

27  But  Jon-a- than  heard  not  when 
his  father  charged  the  people  with 
the  oath : wherefore  he  put  forth 
the  end  of  the  rod  that  was  in  his 
hand,  and  dipped  it  in  an  honey- 
comk  and  put  his  hand  to  his 
mouth  ; and  nis  eyes  were  enlight- 
ened. 

28  Then  answered  one  of  the  peo- 
ple, and  said,  Thy  father  straitly 
charged  the  people  with  an  oath, 
saying,  Cursed  be  the  man  that 
eateth  any  food  this  day.  And  the 
people  were  ^ faint. 

29  Then  said  J5n-a-than,  My  fa- 
ther hath  troubled  the  land  : see,  I 
pray  you,  how  mine  eyes  have  been 
enlightened,  because  I tasted  a little 
of  this  honey. 

30  How  much  more,  if  haply  the 

people  had  eaten  freely  to  day  of 
the  snoil  of  their  enemies  which 
they  found  % for  had  there  not  been 
now  a much  greater  slaughter  a- 
mong  the  Phi-lis-tines  1 ^ , 

31  And  they  smote  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  that  day  from  Mieh-mash  to 
Ai-ja-l5n  : and  the  people  were  very 
faint. 

32  And  the  people  flew  upon  the 
spoil,  and  took  sheep,  and  oxen, 
and  calves,  and  slew  them  on  the 
ground : and  the  people  did  eat 
them  ’"with  the  blood. 

33  H Then  they  told  Saul,  saying. 
Behold,  the  people  sin  against  the 
Lord,  in  that  they  eat  with  the 
blood.  And  he  said,  Ye  have  Hrans- 
gressed : roll  a great  stone  unto  me 
this  day. 

34  And  Saul  said.  Disperse  your- 
selves among  the  people,  and  say 
unto  them,  Bring  me  hither  every 
man  his  ox,  and  every  man  his 
sheep,  and  slay  them  here,  and  eat ; 
and  sin  not  against  the  Lord  in 
eating  with  the  blood.  And  all  the 
people  brought  every  man  his  ox 
®with  him  that  night,  and  slew  them 

35  And  Saul  ’"built  an  altar  unto 
the  Lord  : "^the  same  was  the  first 
altar  that  he  built  unto  the  Lord.

36  ^ And  Saul  said.  Let  us  go 

down  after  the  Phi-lis-tines  by 
night,  and  spoil  them  until  the 
morning  light,  and  let  us  not  leave 
a man  of  them.  And  they  said, 
Do  whatsoever  seemeth  good  unto 
thee.  Then  said  the  priest.  Let  us 
draw  near  hither  unto  God. 

37  And  Saul  asked  counsel  of  God, 
Shall  I go  down  after  the  Phi-lis- 
tines'?  wilt  thou  deliver  them  into 
the  hand  of  IsYa-ell  But  "^he  an- 
swered him  not  that  day. 

38  And  Saul  said,  ®Draw  ye  near 
hither,  all  the  ^ chief  of  the  people : 
and  know  and  see  wherein  this  sin 
hath  been  this  day. 

39  For,  f as  the  Lord  liveth,  which 
saveth  IsYa-el,  though  it  be  in  J5n- 
a-than  my  son,  he  shall  surely  die. 
But  there  teas  not  a man  among  all 
the  people  that  answered  him. 

40  Then  said  he  unto  all  IsYa-6l, 
Be  ye  on  one  side,  and  I and  J6n- 
a-than  my  son  will  be  on  the  other 
side.  And  the  people  said  unto 
Saul,  Do  what  seemeth  good  unto 
thee. 

41  Therefore  Saul  said  unto  the 
Lord  God  of  IsYa-el,  ^Give^  a per- 
fect lot.  ^And  Saul  and  J 6n-a-than 
were  taken : but  the  people  ^escaped. 

42  And  Saul  said.  Cast  lots  be- 
tween me  and  J(3n-a-than  my  son. 
And  J5n-a-than  was  taken. 

43  Then  Saul  said  to  JOn-a-than, 
Tell  me  what  thou  hast  done.  And 
J5n-a-than  told  him,  and  said, /I 
did  but  taste  a little  honey  with 
the  end  of  the  rod  that  was  in 
mine  hand,  and,  lo,  I must  die. 

44  And  Saul  answered,  ^God  do 
so  and  more  also : ’"for  thou  shalt 
surely  die,  J5n-a-than.^ 

45  And  the  people  said  unto  Saul, 
Shall  J6n-a-than  die,  who  hath 
wrought  this  great  salvation  in 
IsYa-el  1 God  forbid : "as  the  Lord 
liveth,  there  shall  not  one  hair  of 
his  head  fall  to  the  ground ; for  he 
hath  wrought  with  God  this  day. 
So  the  people  rescued  J5n-a-than> 
that  he  died  not. 

46  Then  Saul  went  up  from  fol 
lowing  the  Phi-lis-tines : and  the 
Phi-lis- tines  went  to  their  own  place. 

47  ^ So  Saul  took  the  kingdom 
over  isYa-el,  and  fought  against  all 
his  enemies  on  every  side,  against 
Mo-ab,  and  against  the  children  or 
^Am-m6n,  and  against  E-d5m,  and 
against  the  kings  of  ®Zo-bah,  and 
against  the  Phi-lis-tmes and  whi- 
thersoever he  turned  himself,  he 
vexed  them.

them  that  spoiled  them. 

49  Now  “the  sons  of  Saul  were 
J5n-a-than,  and  Ish-u-i,  and  Mel- 
ehi-shu-a:  and  the  names  of  his 
two  daughters  were  these ; the  name 
of  the  firstborn  Me-rab,  and  the 
name  of  the  younger  Mi-ehal : 

50  And  the  name  of  Saul’s  wife 
was  A-hin-5-am,  the  daughter  of 
A-him-a-az : and  the  name  of  the 
captain  of  his  host  was  ^Ab-ner, 
the  son  of  Ner,  Saul’s  uncle. 

51  ®And  Kish  was  the  father  of 
Saul ; and  Ner  the  father  of  Ab-ner 
was  the  son  of  A-bi-el. 

52  And  there  was  sore  war  against 
the  Phi-hs-tines  all  the  days  of  Saul : 
and  when  Saul  saw  any  strong  man, 
or  any  valiant  man,  ^he  took  him

CHAPTER  15. 

1 Samuel  sendeth  Saul  to  destroy  Amalek.  8 ffe  spareth 
Agog  and  the  best  of  the  spoil.  10  God  rejecteth  him 
for  disobedience.  24  His  humiliation.  34  Samuel  and 
Saul  part. 

SAM-U-EL  also  said  unto  Saul, 
*The  Lord  sent  me  to  anoint 
thee  to  he  king  over  his  people, 
over  Is-ra-el : now  therefore  hearken 
thou  unto  the  voice  of  the  words  of 
the  Lord. 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
I remember  that  which  Am-a-lek 
did  to  I§-ra-el,  ^how  he  laid  wait 
for  him  in  the  way,  when  he  came 
up  from  E-gypt. 

3  Now  go  and  smite  Am-a-lek, 
and  ” utterly  destroy  all  that  they 
have,  and  spare  them  not  ; but 
slay  both  man  and  woman,  infant 
and  suckling,  ox  and  sheep,  camel 
and  ass. 

4  And  Saul  gathered  the  people 
together,  and  numbered  them  in 
T6-la-im,  two  hundred  thousand 
footmen,  and  ten  thousand  men 
of  Ju-dah. 

5  And  Saul  came  to  a city  of  Am- 
a-l6k,  and  ^laid  wait  in  the  valley. 

6  H And  Saul  said  unto  ^the  K6n- 
Ites,  «Go,  depart,  get  you  down 
from  among  the  Am-a-l6k-ites,  lest 
I destroy  you  with  them;  for  ’'ye 
shewed  kindness  to  all  the  children 
of  Is-ra-6l,  when  they  came  up  out 
of  E-gypt.  So  the  Kgn-ites  departed 
from  among  the  Am-a-lek-ites. 

_7  *And  Saul  smote  the  Am-a-lek- 
ites  from  “ Hav-i-lah  rmtil  thou 
comest  to  *Shur,  that  is  over  against 
E-gypt. 

8  And  he  took  A%ag  the  king  of 
the  Am-a-l6k-Ttes  alive,  and  ^utterly 
destroyed  all  the  people  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword.

A%ag,  and  the  best  of  the  sheep, 
and  of  the  oxen,  and  ^of  the  fat- 
lings,  and  the  lambs,  and  all  that 
was  good,  and  would  not  utterly 
destroy  them : but  every  thing  that 
was  vile  and  refuse,  that  they  de- 
stroyed utterly. 

10  ^ Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  Sam-u-el,  saying, 

11  *It  repen teth  me  that  I have 
set  up  Saul  to  be  king : for  he  is 
® turned  back  from  following  me, 
‘^and  hath  not  performed  my  com- 
mandments. And  it  -^grieved  Sam- 
u-6l ; and  he  cried  unto  the  Lord 
all  night. 

12  And  when  Sam-u-6l  rose  early 
to  meet  S^ul  in  the  morning,  it  was 
told  Sam-h-el,  saying,  Saul  came  to 
’'■Car-mel,  ana,  behold,  he  set  him 
up  a place,  and  is  gone  about,  and 
passed  on,  and  gone  down  to  Gil- 
gal. 

1 3 And  Sam-u-el  came  to  Saul : 
and  Saul  said  unto  him,  * Blessed 
he  thou  of  the  Lord  : I have  per- 
formed the  commandment  of  the 
Lord. 

14  And  Sam-u-el  said.  What  mean- 
eth  then  this  bleating  of  the  sheep 
in  mine  ears,  and  the  lowing  of  the 
oxen  which  I hear  1 

15  And  Saul  said.  They  have 

brought  them  from  the  Am-a-lek- 
ites : for  the  people  spared  the 

best  of  the  sheep  and  of  the  oxen, 
to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  thy  God ; 
and  the  rest  we  have  utterly  de- 
stroyed. 

16  Then  Sana-u-el  said  unto  Saul, 
Stay,  and  I will  tell  thee  what  the 
Lord  hath  said  to  me  this  night. 
And  he  said  unto  him.  Say  on. 

17  And  Sam-u-el  said,  ‘’When  thou 
wast  little  in  thine  own  sight,  wast 
thou  not  made  the  head  of  the 
tribes  of  Is-ra-el,  and  the  Lord  a- 
nointed  thee  king  over  Is-ra-SlI 

18  And  the  Lord  sent  thee  on  a 
journey,  and  said.  Go  and  utterly 
destroy  the  sinners  the  Am-a-l6k- 
Ites,  and  fight  against  them  until 
^they  be  consumed. 

1 9 Wherefore  then  didst  thou  not 
obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  but 
didst  fly  upon  the  spoil,  and  didst 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  '? 

20  And  Saul  said  unto  Sam-u-6l, 
Yea,  have  obeyed  the  voice  of 
the  Lord,  and  have  gone  the  way 
which  the  Lord  sent  me,  and  have 
brought  A%ag  the  king  of  Am-a- 
l6k,  and  have  utterly  destroyed  the 
Am-a-l6k-Ites. 

21  “But  the  people  took  of  the 
spoil,  sheep  and  oxen,  the  chief  of 
the  things  which  should  have  been

utterly  destroyed,  to  sacrifice  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God  in  Gil%al. 

22  And  Sam-u-ei  said,  ^Hath  the 
Lord  as  great  delight  in  burnt  of- 
ferings and  sacrifices,  as  in  obeying 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  1 Behold,  “to 
obey  is  better  than  sacrifice,  and  to 
hearken  than  the  fat  of  rams. 

23  For  rebellion  is  as  the  sin  of 
-witchcraft,  and  stubbornness  is  as 
iniquity  and  idolatry.  Because  thou 
hast  rejected  the  word  of  tlie  Lord, 

S' he  hath  also  rejected  thee  from 
being  king.  ^ 

24  U ^And  Saul  saiO  unto  Sam-u-el, 

I  have  sinned:  for  1 have  trans- 

fressed  the  commandment  of  the 
(ORD,  and  thy  words : because  I 
^ feared  the  people,  and  obeyed 
their  voice. 

25  Now  therefore,  I pray  thee, 
pardon  my  sin,  and  turn  again 
with  me,  that  I may  worship  the 
Lord.  _ 

26  And  Sam-u-el  said  unto  Saul, 

I will  not  return  with  thee : “ for 
thou  hast  rejected  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  Lord  hath  rejected 
thee  from  being  king  over  Is-ra-el. 

27  And  as  Sam-u-el  turned  about 
to  go  away,  ^he  laid  hold  upon  the 
skirt  of  his  mantle,  and  it  rent, 

28  And  Sam-u-el  said  unto  him, 
*The  Lord  hath  rent  the  kingdom 
of  Is-ra-el  from  thee  this  day,  and 
hath  given  it  to  a neighbour  of 
thine,  that  is  better  than  thou. 

29  And  also  the  '‘Strength  of  Is-ra-el 
J'will  not  lie  nor  repent : for  he  is 
not  a man,  that  he  should  repent, 
30  Then  he  said,  I have  sinned : 
yet  “honour  me  now,  I pray  thee, 
before  the  elders  of  my  people, 
and  before  Is-ra-el,  and  turn  again 
with  me,  that  I may  worship  the 
Lord  thy  God. 

31  So  Sam-u-6l  turned  again  after 
Saul ; and  Saul  worshipped  the 
Lord. 

32  H Then  said  Samhi-el,  Bring  ye 
hither  to  me  A%ag  the  king  of  the 
Am-a-lek-ites.  _ And  A-gag  came 
unto  him  delicately.  And  A-gag 
said.  Surely  the  bitterness  of  death 
is  past. 

33  And  Sam-u-el  said,  ^As  thy 
sword  hath  made  women  child- 
less, so  shall  thy  mother  be  child- 
less among  women.  And  Sam-u-el 
hewed  A-gag  in  pieces  before  the 
Lord  in  Gil-gal.  ^ , 

34  H Then  Sam-u-6l  went  to  Ea- 
rn ah;  and  Saul  went  up  to  his 
house  to  *Gib-6-ah  of  Saul. 

35  And  ^Sam-u-el  came  no  more  to 
see  Saul  until  the  day  of  his  death : 
nevertheless  Sam-u-Sl  "^mourned  for

Saul : and  the  Lord  “repented  that 

he  had  made  Saul  king  over  Is-ra-M, 

CHAPTEE  16. 

Samuel  sent  by  God  to  Beth-lehem.  6 His  human  judg 
ment  is  reproved.  W He  anointeth  David.  Saul  send- 
ethfor  David  to  quiet  his  evil  spirit. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Sam-u-el, 
‘^How  long  wilt  thou  mourn  for 
Saul,  seeing  “I  have  rejected  him 
from  reigning  over  Is-ra-ell  ■''fill 
thine  horn  with  oil,  and  go,  I will 
send  thee  to  Jes-se  the  Beth-le- 
hem-ite:  for  '"I  have  provided  me 
a king  among  his  sons. 

2 And  Sam-u-el  said.  How  can  I 
go  1 if  Saul  hear  it,  he  will  kill  me. 
And  the  Lord  said.  Take  an  heifer 
2 with  thee,  and  say,  am  come  to 
sacrifice  to  the  Lord. 

3 And  call  Jes-s6  to  the  sacrifice, 

and  '^1  will  shew  thee  what  thou 
shalt  do:  and  ’"thou  shalt  anoint 
unto  me  him  whom  I name  unto 
thee.  , , , . , 

4 And  Sam-u-el  did  that  which 
the  Lord  spake,  and  came  to  Beth- 
le-hem.  And  the  elders  of  the 
town  ^trembled  at  his  ^coming,  and 
said,  «Comest  thou  peaceably^ 

5 And  he  said.  Peaceably:  I am 
come  to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord: 
sanctify  yourselves,  and  come  with 
me  to  the  sacrifice.  And  he  sancti- 
fied Jes-se  and  his  sons,  and  called 
them  to  the  sacrifice. 

6 ^ And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  come,  that  he  looked 
on  “E-li-abj  and  fsaid^  Surely  the 
Lord’s  anointed  is  before  him. 

7 But  the  Lord  said  unto  Sam-u-gl, 

Look  not  on  ^his  countenance,  or  on 
the  height  of  his  stature;  because 
I have  refused  him : ^for  the  Lord 
seeth  not  as  man  seeth ; for  man 
“looketh  on  the  ® outward  appear- 
ance, but  the  Lord  looketh  on  the 
"^heart.  , ^ , 

8 Then  Jes-se  called  “A-bin-a-dab, 

and  made  him  pass  before  Sam-u-el. 
And  he  said.  Neither  hath  the  Lord 
chosen  this.  ^ 

9 Then  Jes-se  made  •'^Sham-mah® 
to  pass  by.  And  he  said.  Neither 
hatn  the  Lord  chosen  this. 

10  Again,  Jes-se  made  seven  of  his 

sons  to  pass  before  Sam-u-el.  And 
Sam-u-el  said  unto  J es-se.  The  Lord 
hath  not  chosen  these.  ^ 

1 1 And  Sam-u-el  said  unto  J es-se. 
Are  here  all  thy  children  1 And 
he  said,  '"There  remaineth  yet  the 
youngest,  and,  behold,  he  keepeth 
the  sheep.  And  Sam-u-gl  said  unto 
Jes-s6,  *Send  and  fetch  him:  for 
we  will  not  sit  ''down  till  he  come 
hither. 

1 12  And  he  sent,  and  brought  him

in.  Now  he  was  “ruddy,  and  withal 
^of  a beautiful  countenance,  and 
goodly  to  look  to.  ®And  the  Lord 
said.  Arise,  anoint  him:  for  this 

^13  Then  Sam-u-gl  took  the  horn 
of  oil,  and  ^anointed  him  in  the 
midst  of  liis  brethren:  and  ^the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord  came  upon 
Da-vid  from  that  day  forward.  So 
Sam-u-el  rose  up,  and  went  to 
Ka-mah.  „ , 

14  H -^But  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
departed  from  Saul,  and  ^an  evil 
spirit  from  the  Lord  ^troubled  him. 

15  And  Saul’s  servants  said  unto 
him.  Behold  now,  an  evil  spirit 
from  God  troubleth  thee. 

16  Let  our  lord  now  command  thy 
servants,  which  are  * before  thee,  to 
seek  out  a man,  who  is  a cunning 
player  on  an  harp : and  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  when  tne  evil  spirit  from 
God  is  upon  thee,  that  he  shall 
*play  with  his  hand,  and  thou  shalt 
be  well. 

17  And  Saul  said  unto  his  serv- 
ants, Provide  me  now  a man  that 
can  play  well,  and  bring  him  to 
me. 

18  Then  answered  one  of  the  serv- 
ants, and  said.  Behold,  I have  seen 
a son  of  J6s-s6  the  Betn-le-hem-ite, 
that  is  cunning  in  playing,  and  ”a 
mighty  valiant  man,  and  a man  of 
war,  and  prudent  in  '^matters,  and 
a comely  person,  and  the  Lord  is 
with  him. 

1 9 11  Wherefore  Sau\  sent  messen- 
gers unto  J6s-s6,  and  said.  Send  me 
Da-vid  thy  son, « which  is  with  the 
sheep. 

20  And  J6s-s6  ^took  an  ass  laden 
with  bread,  and  a bottle  of  wine, 
and  a kid,  and  sent  them  by  DaWid 
his  son  unto  Saul. 

21  And  DaWid  came  to  Saul,  ana 
“stood  before  him:  and  he  loved 
him  greatly;  and  he  became  his 
armourbearer. 

22  And  Saul  sent  to  J 6s-s6,  saying, 
Let  Da-vid,  I pray  thee,  stand  be- 
fore me ; for  he  hath  found  favour 
in  my  sight. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
“ the  evil  smrit  from  God  was  upon 
Saul,  that  Da-yid  took  an  harp,  and 
played  with  his  hand : so  Saul  was 
refreshed,  and  was  well,  and  the 
evil  spirit  departed  from  him.

5 And  he  had  an  helmet  of  brass 
upon  his  head,  and  he  was  farmed 
with  a coat  of  mail ; and  the  weight 
of  the  coat  was  five  thousand  shek- 
els of  brass. 

6 And  he  had  greaves  of  brass  up- 
on his  legs,  and  a ® target  of  brass 
between  his  shoulders. 

7 And  the  "“staff  of  his  spear  was 
like  a weaver’s  beam ; and  his  spear’s 
head  weighed  six  hundred  shekels 
of  iron : and  one  bearing  a shield 
went  before  him. 

8 And  he  stood  and  cried  unto 
the  armies  of  Ista-el,  and  said  unto 
them.  Why  are  ye  come  out  to  set 
your  battle  in  array'?  am  not  I a 
Phi-lis-tine,  and  ye  ^servants  to 
SauU  choose  you  a man  for  you, 
and  let  him  come  down  to  me. 

9 If  he  be  able  to  fight  with  me, 
and  to  kill  me,  then  will  we  be  your 
.servants:  but  if  I prevail  against 
him,  and  kill  him,  then  shall  ye  be 
our  servants ,^and  ^ serve  us. 

10  And  the  Phi-lis-tine  said,  I ‘'defy 

the  armies  of  Is-ra-6l  this  day  ; give 
me  a man,  that  we  may  fight  to- 
gether. - , . T 1 

1 1 When  Saul  and  all  Is-ra-6l  heard 
those  words  of  the  Phi-lis-tine,  they 
were  dismayed,  and  greatly  afraid. 

12  H Now  Da  Aid  was  "'the  son  of 
that  ^ EphAath-ite  of  B6th'yl6-h6m- 
iii-dah,  whose  name  was  J gs-s6 ; and 
he  had  * eight  sons:  and  the  man 
went  among  men  for  an  old  man 
in  the  days  of  Saul. 

13  And  the  three  eldest  sons  of 
J6s-s6  went  and  followed  Saul  to 
the  battle : and  the  * names  of  his 
three  sons  that  went  to  the  battle 
were  E-ll-ab  the  firstborn,  and  next 
unto  him  A-bin-a-dab,  and  the  third 
Sham-mah. 

14  And  DaWld  was  the  youngest : 
and  the  three  eldest  followed  Saul. 

15  But  DaWid  went  and  returned

from  Saul  “ to  feed  his  father’s  sheep 
at  Beth -le-hem. 

1 6 And  the  Phi-lis-tine  drew  near 
morning  and  evening,  and  presented 
himself  forty  days. 

17  And  Jes-se  said  unto  Da-vid  his 
son.  Take  now  for  thy  brethren  an 
e-phah  of  this  parched  corn,  and 
these  ten  loaves,  and  run  to  the 
camp  to  thy  brethren ; 

18  And  carry  these  ten  ^cheeses 
unto  the  ^captain  of  their  thou- 
sand, and  ‘'look  how  thy  brethren 
fare,  and  take  their  pledge. 

19  Now  Saul,  and  they,  and  all 
the  men  of  Is-ra-el,  were  in  the 
valley  of  Edah,  fighting  with  the 
Phi-hs-tines. 

20  H And  Da-vid  rose  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  left  the  sheep 
with  a keeper,  and  took,  and  went, 
as  Jes-s6  had  commanded  him ; and 
he  came  to  the  ® trench,  as  the  host 
was  going  forth  to  the  ® fight,  and 
shouted  for  the  battle. 

21  For  Is-ra-el  and  the  Phi-lis-tines 
had  put  the  battle  in  array,  army 
against  army. 

22  And  Da-vid  left  '^his  carriage  in 
the  hand  of  the  keeper  of  the  car- 
riage, and  ran  into  the  army,  and 
came  and  ^sainted  his  brethren. 

23  And  as  he  talked  with  them, 
behold,  there  came  up  the  cham- 
pion, the  Phi-lis-tine  of  Gath,  G6- 
li-atn  by  name,  out  of  the  armies  of 
the  Phi-lis-tines,  and  spake  ^ accord- 
ing to  the  same  words : and  Da-vid 
heard  them. 

24  And  all  the  men  of  Is-ra-el, 
when  they  saw  the  man,  fled  ^ from 
him,  and  were  sore  afraid. 

25  And  the  men  of  Is-ra-gl  said, 
Have  ye  seen  this  man  that  is  come 
up'?  surely  to  defy  Is-ra-el  is  he 
come  up : and  it  snail  be,  that  the 
man  who  killeth  him,  the  king  will 
enrich  him  with  great  riches,  and 
'will  give  him  his  daughter,  and 
make  his  father’s  house  free  in

that  stood  by  him,  saying.  What

no  man’s  heart  fail  because  of  him ; 
^ thy  servant  will  go  and  fight  with 
this  Phi-hs-tine. 

33  And  Saul  said  to  Da-vid,  ^ Thou 
art  not  able  to  go  against  this  Phi- 
lis-tine  to  fight  with  him ; for  thou 
art  but  a youth,  and  he  a man  of 
war  from  his  youth. 

34  And  DaWid  said  unto  Saul,  Thy 
servant  kept  his  father’s  sheep,  and 
there  came  a lion,  and  a bear,  and 
took  a ® lamb  out  of  the  flock  : 

35  And  I v/ent  out  after  him,  and 
smote  him,  and  delivered  it  out  of 
his  mouth : and  when  he  arose 
against  me,  I caught  him  by  his 
beard,  and  smote  him,  and  slew 
him. 

36  Thy  servant  slew  both  the  lion 
and  the  bear:  and  this  uncircum- 
cised Phi-lis-tine  shall  be  as  one  of 
them,  seeing  he  hath  defied  the 
armies  of  the  living  God. 

37  DaWid  said  moreover,  *The 
Lokd  that  delivered  me  out  of  the 
paw  of  the  lion,  and  out  of  the  paw 
of  the  bear,  he  will  deliver  me  out 
of  the  hand  of  this  Phi-lis-tine. 
And  Saul  said  unto  Da-vid,  Go, 
and  ^thie  Lord  be  with  thee. 

38  ^ And  Saul  ^ armed  DaWid  with 
his  armour,  and  he  put  an  helmet 
of  brass  upon  his  head ; also  he 
armed  him  with  a coat  of  mail. 

39  And  DaWid  girded  his  sword 
upon  his  armour,  and  he  assayed  to 
go ; for  he  had  not  proved  it.  And 
DaWid  said  unto  Saul,  I cannot  go 
with  these ; for  I Have  not  proved 
them.  And  DaWid  put  them  off  him. 
40  And  he  took  his  staff  in  his 
hand,  and  chose  him  five  smooth 
stones  out  of  the  ^ brook,  and  put 
them  in  a shepherd’s  ^bag  which  he 
had,  even  in  a scrip  • and  his  sling 
was  in  his  hand : and  he  drew  near 
to  the  Phi-hs-tine. 

41  And  the  Phl-lis-tine  came  on 
and  drew  near  unto  DaWld;  and

David  slayeth  Goliatti. 


I.  SAMUEL,  18, 


Jonathan  loveth  David 


the  man  that  bare  the  shield  went 
before  him.  ^ ^ . . 

42  And  when  the  Phi-hs-tme  look- 
ed about,  and  saw  Da-vid,  he  “dis- 
dained him : for  he  was  but  a youth, 
and  * ruddy,  and  of  a fair  counte- 

nance.^d  Phi-lis-tine  said  unto 
Da-vid,  "Am  I a dog,  that  thou  com- 
est  to  me  with  staves'?  And  the  Phi- 
hs-tine  cursed  Da-vid  by  his  gods. 

44  And  the  Phi-lis-tine  ‘^said  to 
Da-vid,  Come  to  me  and  I will  give 
thy  flesh  unto  the  fowls  of  the  air, 
and  to  the  beasts  of  the  field.  ^ 

45  Then  said  Da-vid  to  the  Phi- 
lis-tine,  Thou  comest  to  me  with  a 
sword,  and  with  a spear,  and  with 
a shield:  -^but  I come  to  thee  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the 
God  of  the  armies  of  Is-ra-el,  whom 
thou  hast '^defied. 

46  This  day, will  the  Lord  Mehver 
thee  into  mine  hand ; and  I will 
smite  thee,  and  take  thine  head 
from  thee;  and  I will  give  *the  car- 
cases of  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
this  day  unto  the  fowls  of  the  air, 
and  to  the  wild  beasts  of  the  earth ; 
^that  all  the  earth  may  know  that 
there  is  a God  in  Is-ra-el. 

47  And  all  this  assembly  shall 
know  that  the  Lord  ’"saveth  not 
with  sword  and  spear : for  " the 
battle  is  the  Lord^s,  and  he  will 
give  you  into  our  hands. 

48  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
Phi-lis-tine  arose,  and  came  and 
drew  nigh  to  meet  Da-vid,  that 
Da-vid  hasted,  and  ran  toward  the 
army  to  meet  the  Phi-lis-tine. 

49  And  Da-vid  put  his  hand  in  his 
bag,  and  took  thence  a stone,  and 
slang  it,  and  smote  the  Phi-lis-tine 
in  his  forehead,  that  the  stone  sunk 
into  his  forehead ; and  he  fell  upon 
his  face  to  the  earth. 

50  So  ’■DaMd  prevailed  over  the 
Phi-lis-tine  with  a sling  and  ^with 
a stone,  and  smote  the  Phi-lis-tine, 
and  slew  him ; but  there  was 
sword  in  the  liand  of  Da-vid. 

51  Therefore  Da-vid  ran,  and  stood 
upon  the  Phi-lis-tine,  and  took  his 
sword,  and  drew  it  out  of  the  sheath 
thereof,  and  slew  him,  and  cut  off 
his  head  therewith.  And  when  the 
Phi-lis-tines  saw  their  champion 
was  dead,  Hhey  fled. 

52  And  the  men  of  Is-ra-el  and  of 
Ju-dah  arose,  and  shouted,  and  pur- 
sued the  Phi-lis-tines,  until  thou 
come  to  the  valley,  and  to  the  gates 
of  Ek-r6n.  And  tne  wounded  of  the 
Phi-lis-tines  fell  down  by  the  way 
to  ^Sha-a-ra4m,  even  unto  Gath, 
and  unto  Ek-r5n.

53  And  the  children  of  Is-rd-el 

returned  from  chasing  after  the

54  And  DaMd  took  the  head  ot 
the  Phi-lis-tine,  and  brought  it  to 
J e-ru-sa-lem ; but  he  put  his  armour 
in  his  tent. 

55  ^ And  when  Saul  saw  Da-vid 
go  forth  against  the  Phi-lis-tine,  he 
said  unto  Ab-ner,  the  captain  of

57  And  as  Da-vid  returned  from 
the  slaughter  of  the  Phi-lis-tine, 
Ab-ner  took  him,  and  brought  him 
before  Saul  ^with  the  head  of  the 
Phi-lis-tine  in  his  hand. 

58  And  Saul  said  to  him.  Whose 
son  art  thou,  thou  young  man^ 
And  DaWid  answered,  am  the 
son  of  thy  servant  Jes-se  the  Beth- 
le-hem-ite.

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  had 
made  an  end  of  speaking  unto 
Saul,  that  ”the  soul  of  J5n-a-than 
was  knit  with  the  soul  of  DaWid, 
^’and  Jon-a-than  loved  him  as  his 
own  soul. 

2 And  Saul  took  him  that  day, 
«and  would  let  him  go  no  more 
home  to  his  father’s  house. 

3 Then  J5n-a-tiian  and  DaWid 
made  a covenant,  because  he  loved 
him  as  his  own  soul. 

4 And  JOn-a-than  stripped  himselt 
of  the  robe  that  was  upon  him,  and 
gave  it  to  Da-vid,  and  his  garments, 
even  to  his  sword,  and  to  his  bow, 
and  to  his  girdle. 

5 ^ And  DaWid  went  out  whither- 
soever Saul  sent  him,  and  ^behaved 
himself  wisely:  and  Saul  set  him 
over  the  men  of  war,  and  he  was 
accepted  in  the  sight  of  all  the 
people,  and  also  in  the  sight  of 
Saul’s  servants. 

6 And  it  came  to  pass  as  they  came, 
when  DaAid  was  returned  from  the 
slaughter  of  the  Mdii-lis-tine,  that 
*the  women  came  out  of  all  cities 
of  I§b*a-el,  singing  and  dancing, 
to  meet  king  Saul,  with  tabrets, 
with  joy,  and  with  instruments  of

the  saying  “displeased^  him ; and 

he_  said,  They  have  ascribed  nnto 
Da-vid  ten  thousands,  and  to  me 
they  have  ascribed  but  thousands  : 
and  what  can  he  have  more  but 
*’the  kingdom  1 

9 And  Saul  eyed  Da-vid  from  that 
day  and  forward. 

10  U And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  “the  evil  spirit  from 
God  came  upon  Saul,  ‘^and  he  pro- 
phesied in  the  midst  of  the  house : 
and  Da-vid  played  with  his  hand, 
as  at  other  times:  “and  there  was 
a javelin  in  Saul’s  hand. 

1 1 And  Saul  ^ cast  the  javelin ; for 
he  said,  I will  smite  Da-vid  even 
to  the  wall  with  it.  And  Da-vid 
avoided  out  of  his  presence  twice. 

12  ^ And  Saul  was  ^afraid  of  Da- 
vid, because  Hhe  Lord  was  with 
him,  and  was  "“departed  from  Saul. 

13  Therefore  Saul  removed  him 
from  him,  and  made  him  his  cap- 
tain over  a thousand ; and  ^he  went 
out  and  came  in  before  the  people. 

14  And  Da-vid  '^behaved  himself 
wisely  in  all  his  ways;  and  ""the 
Lord  was  with  him. 

15  Wherefore  when  Saul  saw  that 
he  behaved  himself  very  wisely,  he 
was  afraid  of  him. 

16  But  *all  Is-ra-el  and  Ju-dah 
loved  Da-vid,  because  he  went  out 
and  came  in  before  them. 

17  U And  Saul  said  to  Da-vid.  Be- 
hold my  eMer  daughter  Me-rab, 
*her  will  I give  thee  to  wife : only 
be  thou  ^valiant  for  me,  and  fight 
“the  Lord’s  battles.  For  Saul  said, 
*Let  not  mine  hand  be  upon  him, 
but  let  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
be  upon  him. 

18  And  DaWid  said  unto  Saul, 
“Who  am  I '?  and  what  is  my  life,  or 
my  father’s  family  in  lsh4-el,  that 
I should  be  son  in  law  to  the 
king  1 

1 9 But  it  came  to  pass  at  the  time 
when  Me-rab  Saul’s  daughter  should 
have  been  given  to_  Da-vid,  that  she 
was  given  unto  *A-dri-el  the  “Me- 
hbl-ath-ite  to  wife. 

20  “And  Mi-ehal  Saul’s  daughter 
loved  DaWid : and  they  told  Saul, 
and  the  thing  '^pleased  him. 

21  And  Saul  said,  I will  give  him 
her,  that  she  may  be  •’'a  snare  to 
him,  and  that  ^the  hand  of  the 
Phi-lis-tines  may  be  against  him. 
Wherefore  Saul  said  to  Da-vid, 
Thou  shalt  ’‘this  day  be  my  son  in 
law  in  the  one  of  the  twain. 

22  V And  Saul  commanded  his 
servants,  saying^  Commune  with 
Da-vid  secretly,  and  say.  Behold^ 
the  king  hath  delight  in  thee,  and

therefore  be  the  king’s  son  in  law. 

23  And  Saul’s  servants  spake  those 
words  in  the  ears  of  Da-vid.  And 
DaWid  said,  Seemeth  it  to  you  a 
light  thing  to  be  a king’s  son  in  law. 
seeing  that  I am  a poor  man,  and 
lightly  esteemed  1 

24  And  the  servants  of  Saul  told 
him,  saying,  ^On  this  manner  spake 
DaWid. 

25  And  Saul  said,  Thus  shall  ye 
say  to  Da-vid,  The  king  desireth 
not  any  •’^dowry,  but  an  hundred 
foreskins  of  the  Phi-lis-tines,  to  be 
’‘avenged  of  the  king’s  enemies.  But 
Saul  ‘thought  to  make  DaMd  fall 
by  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis-tines. 

26  And  when  his  servants  told 
Da-vid  these  words,  it  pleased  Da- 
vid well  to  be  the  king’s  son  in  law : 
and  “the  days  were  not  ^expired. 

27  Wherefore  Da-vid  arose  and 
went,  he  and  “his  men,  and  slew  of 
the  Phi-lis-tines  two  hundred  men ; 
and  ® Da-vid  brought  their  foreskins, 
and  they  gave  them  in  full  tale  to 
the  king,  that  he  might  be  the 
king’s  son  in  law.  And  Saul  gave 
him  Mi-ehal  his  daughter  to  wife. 

28  H And  Saul  saw  and  knew  that 
the  Lord  was  with  DaWid,  and  that 
Mi-ehal  Saul’s  daughter  loved  him. 

29  And  S^ul  was  yet  the  more 
afraid  of  DaWid ; and  Saul  became 
Da-vid’s  enemy  continually. 

30  Then  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  “went  forth:  and  it  came  to 
pass,  after  they  went  forth,  that  Da- 
vid ^behaved  himself  more  wisely 
than  all  the  servants  of  Saul ; so 
that  his  name  was  much  ®set  by.

2 But  Jbn-a-than  Saul’s  son  ‘^de-

against  his  servant,  against  Da-yid ; 
because  he  hath  not  sinned  against 
tliee,  and  because  his  works  have 
been  to  thee-ward  very  g9od: 

5 For  he  did  put  his  “life  in  his 
liand,  and  ^slew  the  Phi-lis-tine,  and 
‘^the  Lord  wrought  a great  salvation 
for  all  I§-ra-el : thou  sawest  it,  and 
didst  rejoice  : -^wherefore  then  wilt 
thou  ^sin  against  innocent  blood,  to 
slay  Da-vid  without  a cause  % 

6 And  Saul  hearkened  unto  the 
voice  of  Jon-a-than : and  Saul  sware, 
As  the  Lord  liveth,  he  shall  not  be 

7 And  Jon-a-than  called’  Da^vid, 
and  J 5n-a-than  shewed  him  all  those 
things.  And  Jon-a-than  brought 
Da-vid  to  Saul,  and  he  was  in  his 
presence,  'as  Un  times  past. 

8 ^ Ana  there  was  war  again : and 
Da-vid  went  out,  and  fought  with 
the  Phi-lis-tines,  and  slew  them 
with  a great  slaughter;  and  they 
tied  from  ‘-^him. 

9 And  *the  evil  spirit  from  the 
Lord  was  upon  Saul,  as  he  sat  in 
his  house  with  his  javelin  in  his 
hand  : and  Da^d  played  vdth  his 

10  And  Saul  sought  to  smite  Da-yid 
even  to  the  wall  with  the  javelin ; 
but  he  slipped  av/ay  out  of  Saul’s 
presence,  and  he  smote  the  javelin 
into  the  wall : and  Da-vid  fled,  and 
escaped  that  night. 

1 1 ^"Saul  also  sent  messengers  unto 
Da-vid’s  house,  to  v/atch  him,  and 
to  slay  him  in  the  morning:  and 
Mi-chal  Da-vid’s  wife  told  him, 
saying.  If  thou  save  not  thy  life  to 
night,  to  morrow  thou  shalt  be  slain. 

12  So  Ml-chal  Uet  Da-vid  down 
through  a window : and  he  went, 
and  lied,  and  escaped. 

13  And  Mi-chal  took  an  ^ image, 
and  laid  it  in  the  bed,  and  put  a 
pillow  of  goats’  hair  for  his  bolster, 
and  covered  it  with  a cloth. 

14  And  when  Saul  sent  messengers 
to  take  Da-vid,  she  said.  He  is  sick. 

15  And  Saul  sent  the  messengers 
again  to  see  Da-vid,  saying.  Bring 
him  up  to  me  in  the  bed,  that  I 
may  slay  him. 

16  And  when  the  messengers  were 
come  in,  behold,  there  was  an  image 
in  the  bed,  with  a pillow  of  goats’ 
hair  for  his  bolster. 

17  And  Saul  said  unto  Mi-chal, 
Why  hast  thou  deceived  me  so,  and 
sent  away  mine  enemy,  that  he  is 
escaped '?  And  Mi-chal  answered 
Saul,  He  said  unto  me,  Let  me  go ; 
'’why  should  I kill  thee'? 

18  ^ So  Da-vid  fled,  and  escaped, 

' and  came  to  Sam-u-6l  to  Ea-mah,

and  told  him  all  that  Saul  had  done 

to  him.  And  he  and  Sam-u-el  went 
and  dwelt  in  NadOth. 

1 9 And  it  was  told  Saul,  saying, 
Behold,  Da-vid  is  at  Na-i6th  in 
Ea-mah. 

20  And  ‘^Saul  sent  messengers  to 
take  Da-vid : ® and  when  they  saw 
the  company  of  the  prophets  pro- 
phesying, and  Sam-u-el  standing  as 
appointed  over  them,  the  Spirit  of 
God  was  upon  the  messengers  of 
Saul,  and  they  also  ''prophesied. 

2 1 And  Avhen  it  was  told  Saul,  he 
sent  other  messengers,  and  they 
prophesied  likewise.  And  Saul  sent 
messengers  again  _ the  third  time, 
and  they  prophesied  also. 

22  Then  went  he  also  to  Ea-mah, 
and  came  to  a great  well  that  7s 
in  Se-chu : and  he  asked  and  said. 
Where  are  Sam-u-el  and  Da-vid  % 
And  one  said.  Behold,  they  he  at 
Naboth  in  Ea-mah. 

23  And  he  went  thither  to  Naboth 
in  Ea-mah : and  'the  Spirit  of  God 
was  upon  him  also,  and  he  went 
on,  and  prophesied,  until  he  came 
to  Nabbtn  in  Ea-mah. 

24  And  he  stripped  off  his  clothes 
also,  and  prophesied  before  Sam' 
u-el  in  like  manner,  and  ^ lay  down 

naked  all  that  day  and  all  that 
night.  Wherefore  they  say,  " Is 
Saul  also  among  the  prophets'? 

CHAPTEE  20. 

1 David  consulteth  with  Jonathan.  11  Jonathan  and  Da- 
vid renew  their  covenant.  18  Jonathan's  token  to  David. 
24  Saul  seeketh  to  kill  Jonathan.  35  Jonathan  lovingly 
takMh  his  leave  of  David. 

ND  DaWid  fled  from  NabSth  in 
Ea-mah,  and  came  and  said 
before  Jon-a-than,  What_  have  I 
done'?  what  is  mine  iniquity'?  and 
what  is  my  sin  before  tliy  father, 
that  he  seeketh  my  life'? 

2 And  he  said  unto  him,  God  for- 
bid ; thou  shalt  not  die : behold,  my 
father  will  do  nothing  either  great 
or  small,  but  that  he  will  ^shew  it 
me : and  why  should  my  father  hide 
this  thing  from  me '?  it  is  not  so. 

3 And  Da-vid  sware  moreover,  and 
said.  Thy  father  certainly  knoweth 
that  I nave  found  grace  in  thine 
eyes ; and  he  saith.  Let  not  J 6n-a- 
tban  know  this,  lest  he  be  grieved : 
but  truly  as  the  Lord  liveth,  and 
as  thy  soul  liveth,  there  is  but  a 
step  between  me  and  death.  ^ 

4 Then  said  Jon-a-than  unto  Da- 
vid, ® Whatsoever  thy  soul  Mesireth, 
I will  even  do  it  for  thee. 

5 And  DaWid  said  unto  Jbn-a- 
than.  Behold,  to  morrow  is  the 
*new  moon,  and  I should  not  fail 
to  sit  with  the  king  at  meat : but 


A" 


renew  their  covenant. 


let  me  go,  that  I may  “hide  myself 
in  the  field  unto  the  third  day  at 
even.  . 

6 If  thv  father  at  all  miss  me,  then 
say,  Da-vid  earnestly  asked  leave  of 
me  that  he  might  run  ®to  Beth'-le- 
hem  his  city : for  there  is  a yearly 
® sacrifice  there  for  all  the  family. 

7 ‘^If  he  say  thus.  It  is  well  thy 
servant  shall  have  peace  : but  if  he 
be  very  wroth,  then  be  sure  that 
®evil  is  determined  by  him. 

8 Therefore  thou  shalt-'^deal  kindly 
with  thy  servant ; for  ^ thou  hast 
brought  thy  servant  into  a cove- 
nant of  the  Lord  with  thee  : not- 
withstanding, *if  there  be  in  me 
iniquity,  slay  me  thyself ; for  why 
shouldest  thou  bring  me  to  thy 
father '? 

9 And  J5n-a-than  said.  Far  be  it 
from  thee : for  if  I knew  certainly 
that  evil  were  determined  by  my 
father  to  come  upon  thee,  then 
would  not  I tell  it  thee  1 

10  Then  said  Da-vid  to  J5n-a-than, 
Who  shall  tell  me  'I  or  what  if  thy 
father  answer  thee  roughly^ 

HU  And  J5n-a-than  said  unto  Da- 
vid, Come,  and  let  us  go  out  into 
the  field.  And  they  went  out  both 
of  them  into  the  field. 

12  And  JOn-a-than  said  unto  Da- 
vid, O Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  when  I 
have  ’sounded  my  father  about  to 
morrow  any  time,  or  the  third  day, 
and,  behold,  if  there  be  good  toward 
Dawid,  and.  1 then  send  not  unto 
thee,  and  ®shew  it  thee; 

13  ""The  Lord  do  so  and  much 
more  to  JOn-a-than:  but  if  it  please 
my  father  to  do  thee  evil,  then  I 
will  shew  it  thee,  and  send  thee 
away,  that  thou  mayest  go  in  peace : 
and  ”the  Lord  be  with  thee,  as  he 
hath  been  with  my  father. 

14  And  thou  shalt  not  only  while 
yet  I live  shew  me  the  kindness  of 
the  Lord,  that  I die  not : 

15  But  also  ^thou  shalt  not  cut  off 
thy  kindness  from  my  house  for 
ever : no,  not  when  the  Lord  hath 
cut  off  the  enemies  of  DaWid  every 
one  from  the  face  of  the  earth. 

16  So  Jdn-a-than  ^made  a covenant 
with  the  house  of  Da-vid,  saying, 
®Let  the  Lord  even  require  it  at 
the  hand  of  Da-vid’s  enemies._ 

17  And  J6n-a-than  caused  DaWid 
to  swear  again,  ^because  he  loved 
him  : ’’for  he  loved  him  as  he  loved 
his  own  soul. 

18  Then  J5n-a-than  said  to  DaMd, 
*To  morrow  is  the  new  moon:  and 
thou  shalt  be  missed,  because  thy 
seat  will  be  ^ empty.

three  days,  then  thou  shalt  go  down 
quickly,  and  come  to  *the  place 
where  thou  didst  hide  _ thyself 
^when  the  business  was  in  hand, 
and  shalt  remain  by  the  stone 
^Eizel. 

20  And  I will  shoot  three  arrows 
on  the  side  thereof,  as  though 
shot  at  a mark. 

21  And,  behold,  I will  send  a lad, 
saying.  Go,  find  out  the  arrows, 
If  I expressly  say  unto  the  lad.  Be- 
hold, the  arrows  are  on  this  side  of 
thee,  take  them ; then  come  thou 
for  there  is  peace  to  thee,  and  ^ no 
hurt;  '"as  the  Lord  liveth. 

22  But  if  I say  thus  unto  the 
young  man,  Behold,  the  arrows  are 
beyond  thee ; go  thy  way : for  the 
Lord  hath  sent  thee  away. 

23  And  as  touching  '^the  matter 
which  thou  and  I have  spoken  of, 
behold,  the  Lord  he  between  thee 
and  me  for  ever. 

24  U So  Da-vid  hid  himself  in  the 
field  : and  when  the  new  moon  was 
come,  the  king  sat  him  down  to  eat 
meat. 

25  And  the  king  sat  upon  his  seat, 
as  at  other  times,  even  upon  a seat 
by  the  wall : and  Jdn-a-than  arose 
and  Ab-ner  sat  by  Saul’s  side,  anc 
Da-vid’s  place  was  empty. 

26  Nevertheless  Saul  spake  not 
any  thing  that  day : for  he  thought. 
Something  hath  befallen  him,  he  is 
'not  clean ; surely  he  is  not  clean. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  which  was  the  second  day 
of  the  month,  that  Da-vid’s  place 
was  empty : ^ and  Saul  said  unto 
Jdn-a-than  his  son.  Wherefore  com- 
eth  not  the  son  of  Jes-se  to  meat, 
neither  yesterday,  nor  to  day'? 

28  And  Jdn-a-than  ° answered  Saul, 
Da-vid  earnestly  asked  leave  of  me 
to  go  to  Beth'-le-hem : 

29  And  he  said.  Let  me  go,  I pray 
thee  ; for  our  family  hath  a sacrifice 
in  the  city ; and  my  brother,  he 
hath  commanded  me  to  he  there: 
and  now,  if  I have  fnund  favour  in 
thine  eyes,  let  me  get  away,  I pray 
thee,  and  see  my  brethren.  There- 
fore he  cometh  not  unto  the  king’s 
table. 

30  Then  Saul’s  anger  was  kindled 
against  J dn-a-than,  and  he  said  unto 
him,  ^‘^Thou  son  of  the  perverse 
rebellious  woman,  do  not  I know 
that  thou  hast  chosen  the  son  of 
Jes-se  to  thine  own  confusion,  and 
unto  the  confusion  of  thy  mother’s 
nakedness '? 

31  For  as  long  as  the  son  of  Jes-sd 
liveth  upon  the  ground,  thou  shalt 
not  be  established,  nor  thy  king- 


David  leaveth  Jonathan.

lorn.  Wherefore  now  send  and 
•etch  him  unto  me,  for  he  ^ shall 
;urely  die. 

32  And  J5n-a-than  answered  Saul 
lis  father,  and  said  unto  him, 
‘Wherefore  shall  he  be  slain'?  what 
lath  he  done  % 

33  And  Saul  ^cast  a javelin  at  him 
;0  smite  him  : where  by  J5n-a-than 
cnew  that  it  was  determined  of  his 
hther  to  slay  DaWid. 

34  So  Jon-a-than  arose  from  the 
:able  in  fierce  anger,  and  did  eat 
10  meat  the  second  day  of  the 
nonth  : for  he  was  grieved  for  Da- 
ad,  because  his  father  had  done 
lim  shame. 

35  U And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
norning,  that  J5n-a-than  went  out 
nto  the  field  at  the  time  appointed 
vith  DaWid,  and  a little  lad  with 
lim. 

36  And  he  said  unto  his  lad,  Run, 
ind  out  now  the  arrows  which  I 
hoot.  And  as  the  lad  ran,  he  shot 
in  arrow  beyond  him. 

37  And  when  the  lad  was  come  to 
he  place  of  the  arrow  which  J5n- 
l-than  had  shot,  J5n-a-than  cried 
ifter  the  lad,  and  said,  Is  not  the 
irrow  beyond  thee'? 

38  And  J5n-a-than  cried  after  the 
ad.  Make  speed,  haste,  stay  not. 
ind  J5n-a-than’s  lad  gathered  up 
he  arrows,  and  came  to  his  master. 

39  But  the  lad  knew  not  any 
hing ; only  J 6n-a-than  and  DaWid 
mew  the  matter. 

40  And  J5n-a-than  gave  his  ®artil- 
ery  unto  ‘^his  lad,  and  said  unto 
lim.  Go,  carry  them  to  the  city. 

41  U And  as  soon  as  the  lad  was 
|one,  DaWid  arose  out  of  a place 
xiward  the  south,  and  fell  on  his 
‘ace  to  the  ground,  and  bowed  him- 
self three  times : and  they  kissed 
me  another,  and  wept  one  with 
mother,  until  DaWid  exceeded. 

42  And  J5n-a-than  said  to  DaWid, 
*Go  in  peace,  '^forasmuch  as  we  have 
5worn  both  of  us  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord,  saying.  The  Lord  be  between 
ne  and  thee,  and  between  my  seed 
md  thy  seed  for  ever.  And  he 
irose  and  departed : and  JOn-a- 
han  went  into  the  city.

leeli  the  priest,  The  king  hath  com-

said  unto  me.  Let  no  man  know 
any  thing  of  the  business  where- 
about I send  thee,  and  what  I have 
commanded  thee : and  I haye  ap- 
pointed my  servants  to  such  and

3 Now  therefore  what  is  under 
thine  hand?  give  me  five  loaves  oj 
bread  in  mine  hand,  or  what  there 
is  ‘^present. 

4 And  the  priest  answered  DaWid, 
and  said.  There  is  no  common  bread 
under  mine  hand,  but  there  is  ‘^hal- 
lowed bread ; “if  the  young  men 
have  kept  themselves  at  least  from 
women. 

5 And  DaWid  answered  the  priest, 
and  said  unto  him.  Of  a truth  wo- 
men have  been  kept  from  us  about 
these  three  days,  since  I came  out, 
and  the -^vessels  of  the  young  men 
are  holy,  and  the  bread  is  in  a man-

7 Now  a certain  man  of  the  serv- 
ants of  Saul  was  there  that  day, 
detained  before  the  Lord  ; and  his 
name  was  *Do-eg,  an  E-d6m-ite,  the 
chiefest  of  the  herdmen  that  be- 
longed to  Saul. 

8 H And  DaWid  said  unto  A-him- 
e-le-eh.  And  is  there  not  here  under 
thine  hand  spear  or  sword?  for  I 
have  neither  brought  my  sword 
nor  my  weapons  with  me,  because 
the  king’s  business  required  haste. 

9 And  the  priest  said.  The  sword 
of  G6-li-ath  the  Phi-lis-tine,  whom 
thou  slowest  in  ' the  valley  of  Edah, 
"‘‘behold,  it  is  here  wrapped  in  a 
cloth  behind  the  eph-pd : if  thou 
wilt  take  that,  take  it:  for  there 
is  no  other  save  that  here.  And 
Da-vid  said.  There  is  none  like 
that;  give  it  me. 

10  ^ And  Da-vid  arose,  and  fled 
that  day  for  fear  of  SauL  and  went 
to  ® A-ehish  the  king  of  Gath. 

11  And  "the  servants  of  A-cliish 
said  unto  him.  Is  not  this  Da-vid 
the  king  of  the  land  ? did  they  not 
sing  one  to  another  of  him  in 
dances,  saying,  ^ Saul  hath  ^ slain 
his  thousands,  and  Da-vid  his  ten 
thousands  ? 

12  And  Da-vid  Gaid  up  these 
words  in  his  heart,  and  was  sore 
afraid  of  A-ehish  the  king  of  Gath. 

13  And  *he  changed  his  behaviour

mad  in  their  hands,  and  ^scrabbled 
on  the  doors  of  the  gate,  and  let  his 
spittle  fall  down  upon  his  beard. 

14  Then  said  A-ehish  unto  his  serv-

DA-VID  therefore  departed 
thence,  and  -^escaped  ^to  the 
cave  A-diildam  : and  wlien  his  bre- 
thren and  all  his  father’s  house 
heard  it,  they  went  down  thither 
to  him. 

2 '‘And  every  one  that  ivas  in  dis- 
tress, and  every  one  that  ^was  in 
debt,  and  every  one  that  was  ® dis- 
contented, gathered  themselves  un- 
to him;  and  he  became  a captain 
over  them:  and  there  were  with 
him  about  four  hundred  men. 

3 % And  Da-vid  went  thence  to 
Miz-pgh  of  Mo-ab  : and  he  said  unto 
the  king  of  Mo-ab,  Let  my  father 
and  my  mother,  I pray  thee,  come 
forth,  and  be  with  you,  till  I know 
what  God  will  do  for  me. 

4 And  he  brought  them  before 
the  king  of  Mo-ab  : and  they  dwelt 
with  him  all  the  while  that  Da-vid 
was  in  the  hold. 

5 ^ And  the  prophet  *Gad  said  un- 
to Da-vid,  Abide  not  in  the  hold; 
depart,  and  get  thee  into  the  land 
of  Ju-dah.  Then  Da-vid  departed, 
and  came  into  the  forest  of  Ha- 
reth.  ^

was  discovered,  and  the  men  that 
tuere  with  him,  (now  Saul  abode  in

9 IT  Then  answered  “Do-eg  the 
E-dOm-ite,  which  was  set^  over  the 
servants  of  Saul,  and  said,  I saw 


the  son  of  Jes-se  coming  to  Nob,  to 
''A-him-e-leeh  the  son  of  ‘'A-hi-ttib. 


10  ‘^And  he  enquired  of  the  Lord 
for  him,  and  ®gave  him  victuals, 
and  gave  him  the  sword  of  G6-h- 
ath  the  Phi-lis-tine. 

11  Then  the  king  sent  to  call 
A-him-e-leeh  the  priest,  the  son  of 
A-hi-tub,  and  all  his  father’s  house, 
the  priests  that  were  in  Nob:  and 
they  came  all  of  them  to  the  king. 

12  And  Saul  said.  Hear  now,  thou 
son  of  A-hi-tub.  And  he  answered, 
^Here  I am,  my  lord. 

13  And  Saul  said  unto  him,  Why 
have  ye  conspired  against  me,  thou 
and  the  son  of  Jes-s6,  in  that  thou 
hast  given  him  bread,  and  a sword, 
and  hast  enquired  of  God  for  him, 
that  he  should  rise  against  me,  to 
lie  in  wait,  as  at  this  day"? 

14  Then  A-him-e-le-eh  answered 
the  king,  and  said,  And  who  is  so 
faithful  among  all  thy  servants  as 
Da-vid,  which  is  the  king’s  son  in 
law,  and  goeth  at  thy  bidding,  and 
is  honourable  in  thine  house  ? ^ 

1 5 Did  I then  begin  to  enquire  of

16  And  the  king  said.  Thou  shalt 
surely  die,  A-him-e-leeh,  thou,  and 
all  thy  father’s  house. 

ITU  And  the  king  said  unto  the 
footmen  that  stood  about  him. 
Turn,  and  slay  the  priests  of  the 
Lord  ; because  their  hand  also  is 
with  Da-vid,  and  because  they  knew 
when  he  fled,  and  did  not  shew  it 
to  me.  But  the  servants  of  the  king 
* would  not  put  forth  their  hand  to 
fall  upon  the  priests  of  the  Lord. 

18  And  the  king  said  to  Do-eg, 
Turn  thou,  and  fall  upon  the  priests. 
And  Do-eg  the  E'dom-ite  turned,

21  And  A-bi-a-thar  shewed  Da-vid 

that  Saul  had  slain  the  Lokd’s

22  And  Da-vid  said  unto  A-bi-a-

he  would  surely  tell  Saul : I have

23  Abide  thou  with  me,  fear  not : 
®for  he  that  seeketh  my  life  seeketh

CHAPTER  23. 

1 David  rescueth  Keilah.  7 God  shewing  him  the  coming  of 
Saul,  and  the  treachery  of  the  Keilites,  he  escapeth  to  Ziph. 
19  The  Ziphites  discover  him  to  Saul.  25  At  Maon  he  is 
rescued  from  Saul.  29  Ee  dwelleth  at  En-gedi. 

Then  they  told  Da-vid,  saying. 
Behold,  the  Phi-lis-tines  fight 
against  -^Kei-lah,  and  they  rob  the 
threshingfloors. 

2  Therefore  DaMd  ^enquired  of 
the  Lord,  saying.  Shall  I go  and 
smite  these  Phi-lis-tines  % And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Da-vid,  Go,  and 
smite  the  Phi-lis-tines,  and  save 
Kei-lah. 

3  And  Da-vid’s  men  said  unto 
him.  Behold,  we  be  afraid  here  in 
Ju-daii : how  much  more  then  if  we 
come  to  Keidah  against  the  armies 
of  the  Phi-lis-tines  % 

4  Then  Da-vid  enquired  of  the 
Lord  yet  again.  And  the_  Lord 
answered  him  and  said.  Arise,  go 
I down  to  Keidah  ; for  I will  deliver 
the  Phi-lis-tines  into  thine  hand. 

I 5 So  Da-vid  and  his  men  went  to 
’ Keidah,  and  fought  with  the  Phi- 
j lis-tines,  and  brought  away  their 
I cattle,  and  smote  them  with  a great 
I slaughter.  So  Da-vid  saved  the  in- 
habitants of  Keidah. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  A- 
bi-a-thar  the  son  of  A-him-e-le-eh 
”fled  to  Da^d  to  Keidah,  that  he 
came  down  with  an  eph-od  in  his 
hand. 

7  ^ And  it  was  told  Saul  that  Da- 
vid was  come  to  Keidah.  And 
Saul  said,  God  hath  delivered  him 
into  mine  hand ; for  he  is  shut  in, 
by  entering  into  a town  that  hath 
gates  and  bars. 

8  And  Saul  called  all  the  people 
together  to  wa:^  to  go  down  to  Kei- 
lah, to  besiege  Da-vid  and  his  men. 
9 U And  Da-vid  knew  that  Saul 
secretly  practised  mischief  against 
him;  and  ^he  said  to  A-bi-a-tliar 
the  priest,  Bring  liither  the  ephdjd. 
10  Then  said  Da-vid,  O Lord  God 
of_  Isd’a-el,  thy  servant  hath  cer- 
tainly heard  that  Saul  seeketh  to

11  Will  the  men  of  Keidah  deliver

come  down,  as  thy  servant  hath 
heard'?  O Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  I 
beseech  thee,  tell  thy  servant.  And 
the  Lord  said.  He  will  come  down. 

12  Then  said  Da-vid,  Will  the  men 
of  Keidah  Meliver  me  and  my  men 
into  the  hand  of  Saul  '?  And  the 
Lord  said.  They  will  deliver  thee  up. 

13  H Then  Da-vid  and  his  men, 
^ which  were  about  six  hundred, 
arose  and  departed  out  of  Keidah, 
and  went  whithersoever  they  could 
go.  And  it  was  told  Saul  that  Da- 
vid was  escaped  from  Keidah  ; and 
he  forbare  to  go  forth. 

14  And  DaWid  abode  in  the  wil- 
derness in  strong  holds,  and  re- 
mained in  ®a  mountain  in  the 
wilderness  of  ^ Ziph.  And  Saul 
'"sought  him  every  day,  but  God 
delivered  him  not  into  his  hand. 

15  And  Da-vid  saw  that  Saul  was 
come  out  to  seek  his  life ; and  Da- 
vid was  in  the  wilderness  of  Ziph 
in  a wood. 

1611  And  Jon-a-than  Saul’s  son 
arose,  and  went  to  DaWid  into  the 
wood,  and  strengthened  his  hand 
in  God. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him,  Fear 
not : for  the  hand  of  Saul  my  father 
shall  not  find  thee ; and  thou  shalt 
he  king  over  Is-ra-el,  and  I shall  be 
next  unto  thee ; and  *that  also  Saul 
my  father  knoweth. 

18  And  thejT-  two  ^made  a cove- 
nant before  the  Lord  : and  Da-vid 
abode  in  the  wood,  and  JOn-a-than 
went  to  his  house. 

19  U Then  ™came  up  the  Ziphhtes 
to  Saul  to  Gib-e-ah,  saying,  Doth 
not  Da-vid  hide  himself  with  us  in

down  according  to  all  the  desire  of 
thy  soul  to  come  down ; and  "our 
part  shall  he  to  deliver  him  into

21  And  Saul  said.  Blessed  he  ye  of

24  And  they  arose,  and_  went  to 
Ziph  before  Saul : but  Da-vid  and 
his  men  were  in  the  wilderness  *of 
Ma-5n,  in  the  plain  on  the  south  of 
Jesh-i~m5n. 

25  Saul  also  and  his  men  went  to 
seek  him.  And  they  told  Da-vid  : 
wherefore  he  came  down  ^ into  a 
rock,  and  abode  in  the  wilderness 
of  Ma-on.  And  when  Saul  heard 
that,  he  pursued  after  Da-vid  in  the 
wilderness  of  Ma-6n. 

26  And  Saul  went  on  this  side  of 
the  mountain,  and  Da-vid  and  his 
men  on  that  side  of  the  mountain  : 
‘^and  Da-vid  made  haste  to  get  away 
for  fear  of  Saul;  for  Saul  and  his 
men  ® compassed  Da-vid  and  his  men 
round  about  to  take  them. 

27  H -^But  there  came  a messenger 
unto  Saul,  saying.  Haste  thee,  and 
come ; for  the  Phi-lis-tines  have  ^in- 
vaded the  land. 

28  Wherefore  Saul  returned  from 
pursuing  after  DaWid,  and  went 
against  the  Phi-lis-tines  : therefore 
they  called  that  place  '^Seda-ham- 
mah-le-k5th. 

29  U And  DaWid  went  up  from 
thence,  and  dwelt  in  strong  holds 
at  '‘En-ge-di.

Saul,  acknowledging  his  fault,  taketh  an  oath  of  David, 

and  departeth. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  ^when  Saul 
was  returned  from  ® following 
the  Phi-lis-tines,  that  it  was  told 
him,  saying.  Behold,  Da-vid  is  in

2 Then  Saul  took  three  thousand 
chosen  men  out  of  all  Is-ra-el,  and 
’^went  to  seek  DaWid  and  his  men 
upon  the  rocks  of  the  wild  goats. 

3 And  he  came  to  the  sheepcotes

that  ‘'DaWid’s  heart  smote  him,  be-

7 So  DaWid  “stayed^  his  servants 
with  these  words,  and  suffered  them 
not  to  rise  against  Saul.  But  Saul 
rose  up  out  of  the  cave,  and  went 
on  his  way. 

8 DaWid  also  arose  afterward,  and 
went  out  of  the  cave,  and  cried  after 
Saul,  saying,  My  lord  the  king.  And 
when  Saul  looked  behind  him,  Da- 
vid stooped  with  his  face  to  the 
earth,  and  bowed  himself. 

9 ^ And  DaWid  said  to  Saul, 

^ Wherefore  hearest  thou  men’s 
words,  saying.  Behold,  DaWid  seek- 
eth  thy  hurt  1 

10  Behold,  this  day  thine  eyes  have 
seen  how  that  the  Lord  had  deliv- 
ered thee  to  day  into  mine  hand  in 
the  cave : and  some  bade  me  kill 
thee : but  viine  eye  spared  thee ; 
and  I said,  I will  not  put  forth  mine 
hand  against  my  lord ; for  he  is  the 
Lord’s  anointed. 

11  Moreover,  my  father,  see,  yea, 
see  the  skirt  of  thy  robe  in  my 
hand  : for  in  that  I cut  off  the  skirt 
of  thy  robe,  and  killed  thee  not, 
know  thou  and  see  that  there  is 
^neither  evil  nor  transgression  in 
mine  hand,  and  I have  not  sinned 
against  thee;  yet  thou  *huntest  my 
soul  to  take  it. 

12  *The  Lord  judge  between  me 
and  thee,  and  the  Lord  avenge  me 
of  thee:  but  mine  hand  shall  not 
be  upon  thee. 

13  As  saith  the  proverb  of  the 
ancients.  Wickedness  proceedeth 
from  the  wicked : but  mine  hand 
shall  not  be  upon  thee. 

14  After  whom  is  the  king  of  Is- 
ra-el  come  out?  after  whom  dost 
thou  pursue?  after  a dead  dog,

and  judge  between  me  and  thee, 
and  ®see,  and  '"plead  my  cause,  and 
^deliver  me  out  of  thine  hand. 

16  H And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
DaWid  had  made  an  end  of  speaking 
these  words  unto  Saul,  that  Saul 
said,  ^Is  this  thy  voice,  my  son  Da- 
vid ? And  Saul  lifted  up  his  voice, 
and  wept. 

17  *And  he  said  to  Da-vid,  Thou 
art  ® more  righteous  than  I : for 
^ thou  hast  rewarded  me  good, 
whereas  I have  rewarded  thee  evil. 

18  And  thou  hast  shewed  this  day 
how  that  thou  hast  dealt  well  with 
me:  forasmuch  as  when  ‘^the  Lord 
had  ® delivered  me  into  thine  hand,

And  Saul  went  home ; but  Da-vid 
and  his  men  gat  them  up  unto  ^the

AND  ^Sam-u-el  died ; and  all  the 
Is-ra-el-ites  were  gathered  to- 
gether, and  * lamented  him_,  and 
buried  him  in  his  house  at  Ea-mah. 
And  Da-vid  arose,  and  went  down 
*to  the  wilderness  of  Pa-ran. 

2 j^d  there  was  a man  dn  Ma-5n, 
whose  ^possessions  were  in  "‘•■Car- 
mel ; and  the  man  ivas  very  great, 
and  he  had  three  thousand  sheep, 

^ and  a thousand  goats : and  he  was 
shearing  his  sheep  in  -Gar-mel. 

3 Now  the  name  of  the  man  was 
Na-bal ; and  the  name  of  his  wife 

j Abu-gail : and  she  was  a woman  of 
! good  understanding,  and  of  a beauti- 
I ml  countenance  but  the  man  was 
churlish  and  evil  in  his  doings  ; and 
he  was  of  the  house  of  -Gadgb. 

4 ^ And  Da-vid  heard  in  the  wil- 
derness that  Na-bal  did  ^ shear  his 
sheep. 

5 And  Da-vid  sent  out  ten  young 
men,  and  Da-vid  said  unto  the 
young  men,  Get  you  up  to  -Gar-mel, 
and  go  to  Na-bal,  and  ^ greet  him  in 
my  name ; 

6 And  thus  shall  ye  say  to  him 
that  liveth  in  prosperity,  *Peace^  he 
both  to  thee,  and  peace  be  to  thine

9 And  when  DaWid’s_  young  men 
came,  they  spake  to  Na-bal  accord- 
ing to  all  those  words  in  the  name 
of  DaWid,  and  ^ceased, 

10 II  And  Na-bal  answered  DaWid’s 
servants,  and  said,  *Who  is  DaWidl 
and  who  is  the  son  of  J es-se  % there 
be  many  servants  now  a days  that 
break  away  every  man  from  his 
master. 

11  ® Shall  I then  take  my  bread, 
and  my  water,  and  my  ^ flesh  that 
I have  killed  for  my  shearers,  and 
give  it  unto  men,  whom  I know  not 
whence  they  be 

1 2 So  DaWid’s  young  men  turned 
their  way,  and  went  again,  and  came 
and  told  him  all  those  sayings. 

13  And  DaWid  said  unto  his  men. 
Gird  ye  on  every  man  his  sword. 
And  they  girded  on  every  man  his 
sword ; and  DaWid  also  girded  on 
his  sword  : and  there  went  up  after 
DaAid  about  four  hundred  men ; 
and  two  hundred  %bode  by  the 
stuff. 

14  H But  one  of  the  young  men 
told  Abh-gail,  Na-bal’s  wife,  saying, 
Behold,  DaWid  sent  messengers  out 
of  the  wilderness  to  salute  our  mas- 

and  he  ^railed  on  them. 

15  But  the  men  were  very  good 
unto  us,  and  "*we  were  not  "hurt, 
neither  missed  we  any  thing,  as 
long  as  we  were  conversant  with 
them,  when  we  were  in  the  fields: 

16  They  were  "a  wall  unto  us 
both  by  night  and  day,  all  the 
while  we  were  with  them  keeping 
the  sheep. 

17  Now  therefore  know  and  con- 
sider what  thou  wilt  do ; for  ^evil 
is  determined  against  our  master, 
and  against  all  his  household : for 
he  is  such  a son  of  ’’Bedi-al,  that  a 
man  cannot  speak  to  him. 

18  IT  Then  Ab4-gail  made  haste, 
and  Hook  two  hundred  loaves,  and 
two  bottles  of  wine,  and  five  sheep 
ready  dressed,  and  five  measures 
of  parched  corn,  and  an  hundred 
'^clusters  of  raisins,  and  two  hun- 
dred cakes  of  figs,  and  laid  them  on 
asses. 

1 9 And  she  said  unto  her  servants, 
“^Go  on  before  me ; behold,  I come 
after  you.  But  she  told  not  her 
husband  Na-bal. 

20  And  it  was  so,  as  she  rode  on 
the  ass,  that  she  came  down  by 
the  covert  of  the  hill,  and,  behold, 
Da-vid  and  his  men  came  down 
against  her ; and  she  met  them. 

21  Now  Da-vid  had  said.  Surely 
in  vain  have  I kept  all  that  this 
fellow  hath  in  the^  wilderness,  so 
that  nothing  was  missed  of  all  that 


295 


Abigail  by  her  tvisdom

pertained  unto  him  : and  he  hath 
“requited  me  evil  for  good. 

22  *So  and  more  also  do  God  unto 
the  enemies  of  Da-vid,  if  I ‘'leave 
of  all  that  pertain  to  hini  by  the 
morning  light  ®any  that  pisseth  a- 
gainst  the  wall. 

23  And  when  Abn-gail  saw  DaAnd, 
she  hasted,  and  -^lighted  off  the  ass, 
and  fell  before  Dawid  on  her  face, 
and  bowed  herself  to  the  ground, 

24  And  fell  at  his  feet,  and  said. 
Upon  me,  my  lord,  upon  me  let  this 
iniquity  be:  and  let  thine  hand- 
maid, I pray  thee,  speak  in  thine 
Audience,  and  hear  the  words  of 
thine  handmaid. 

25  Let  not  my  lord,  I pray  thee, 
^ regard  this  man  of  Bedi-al,  even 
Na-bM;  for  as  his  name  is,  so  is 
he;  ^Na-bal  is  his  name,  and  folly 
is  with  him  : but  I thine  handmaid 
saw  not  the  young  men  of  my  lord, 
whom  thou  didst  send. 

26  Now  therefore,  my  lord,  ‘^as  the 
Loed  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth, 
seeing  the  Loed  hath  ’^withholden 
thee  from  coming  to  shed  blood, 
and  from  "avenging'^  thyself  with 
thine  ov/n  hand,  now  -^let  thine 
enemies,  and  they  that  seek  evil  to 
my  lord,  be  as  Na-bal. 

27  And  now  ^this  ® blessing  which 
thine  handm.aid  hath  brought  unto 
my  lord,  let  it  even  be  given  unto 
the  young  men  that  ® follow  my 
lord. 

28  I pray  thee,  forgive  the  tres- 

Eass  of  thine  handmaid : for  ’"the 
<OED  will  certainly  make  my  lord 
a sure  house ; because  my  lord 
“fighteth  the  battles  of  the  Loed, 
and  ^evil  hath  not  been  found  in 
thee  all  thy  days. 

29  Yet  a man  is  risen  to  pursue 
thee,  and  to  seek  thy  soul : but  the 
soul  of  my  lord  shall  be  bound  in 
the  bundle  of  life  with  the  Loed 
thy  God ; and  the  souls  of  thine 
enemies,  them  shall  he  “sling  out, 
as  out  of  the  middle  of  a sling. 

30  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when 
the  Loed  shall  have  done  to  my 
lord  according  to  all  the  good  that 
he  hath  spoken  concerning  thee,  and 
shall  have  appointed  thee  ruler  over 
Ish4-el ; 

31  That  this  shall  be  ®no  grief  un- 
to thee,  nor  offence  of  heart  unto 
my  lord,  either  that  thou  hast  shed 
blood  causeless.  ^ or  that  my  lord 
hath  avenged  himself : but  when 
the  Loed  shall  have  dealt  well  with 
my  lord,  then  remember  thine  hand- 
maid. _ ^ _

blessed  be  thou,  which  hast  ‘^kept 
me  this  day  from  coming  to  shed 
blood,  and  from  avenging  myself 
with  mine  own  hand. 

34  For  in  very  deed,  as  the  Loed 
God  of  IshA-el  liveth,  which  hath 
^kept  me  back  from  hurting  thee, 
except  thou  hadst  hasted  and  come 
to  meet  me,  surely  there  had  '"not 
been  left  unto  NaAal  by  the  morn- 
ing light  any  that  pisseth  against 
the  wall. 

35  So  Da  Aid  received  of  her  hand 
that  which  she  had  brought  him, 
and  said  unto  her,  *Go  up  in  peace 
to  thine  house ; see,  I have  heark- 
ened to  thy  voice,  and  have  '^'ac- 
cepted thy  person. 

36  ^ Ana  Ab4-gail  came  to  NaAal ; 
and,  behold,  ' he  held  a feast  in  his 
house,  like  the  feast  of  a king and 
Na-baFs  heart  was  merry  within 
him,  for  he  ivas  yery  drunken: 
wherefore  she  told  him  nothing,  less 
or  more,  until  the  morning  light. 

37  But  it^  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  when  the  wine  was  gone 
out  of  NaAM,  and  his  wife  had  told 
him  these  things,  that  his  heart 
died  within  him,  and  he  became  as 
a stone. 

38  And  it  cam.e  to  pass  about  ten 
days  after,  that  the  Loed  smote 
Na-bal,  that  he  died. 

39  H And  when  Da  Aid  heard  that 
NaAal  was  dead,  he  said,  ^Blessed 
be  the  Loed,  that  hath  * pleaded  the 
cause  of  my  reproach  from  the  hand 
of  NaAal,  and  hath  - kept  his  serv- 
ant from  evil : for  the  Loed  hath 
^returned  the  wickedness  of  NaAal 
upon  his  own  head.  _And  Da-yid 
sent  and  communed  with  Abh-gail, 
to  take  her  to  him  to  wife. 

40  And  when  the  servants  of  Da^ 
vid  were  come  to  Abn-gail  to  -Car- 
mel, they  spake  unto  her,  saying, 
DaAid  sent  us  unto  thee,  to  take 
thee  to  him  to  wife. 

41  And  she  arose,  and  bowed  her- 
self on  her  face  to  the  earth,  and 
said.  Behold,  let  Hhine  handmaid 
be  a servant  to  wash  the  feet  of  the 
servants  of  my  lord. 

42  And  Ab-i-gail  hasted,  and  arose, 

a-nd  rode  upon  an  ass,  with  five 
damsels  of  her’s  that  v/ent  After 
her ; and  she  went  after  the  mes-

David  spareth  Saul’s  life. 


I.  SAMUEL,  26. 


Saul  acknoivledgeth  his  sin. 


his  daughter,  Da-vid’_s  wife,  to 
‘Phal-tl  the  son  of  La-ish,  which 
was  of  “Gal-lim. 

CHAPTER  26. 

I Saul  cometh  to  Hachilah  against  David.  5 David 

stayeth  Abishai  from  killing  Saul. 

AND  the  Ziph-ites  came  unto  Saul 
XI-  to  Gib-e-ah,  saying,  ®Doth  not 
Da-vid  hide  himself  in  the  hill  of 
Haeh-i-lah,  ivtiich  is  before  Jeshh- 
mOnl 

2 Then  Saul  arose,  and  went  down 
to  the  wilderness  of  Ziph,  having 
three  thousand  chosen  men  of  Is- 
ra-el  with  him,  to  seek  Da-vid  in 
the  wilderness  of  Ziph. 

3 And  Saul  pitched  in  the  hill  of 
Ha-eh-i-lah,  which  is  before  Jesh- 
i-mdn,  by  the  way.  But  Da-vid  a- 
bode  in  the  wilderness,  and  he  saw 
that  Saul  came  after  him  into  the 
wilderness. 

4 Da-vid  therefore  sent  out  spies, 
and  understood  that  Saul  was  come 
in  very  deed_. 

5 H And  DaAud  arose,  and  came  to 
the  place  where  Saul  had  pitched : 
and  Da-vid  beheld  the  place  where 
Saul  lay,  and  ‘^Ab-ner  the  son  of 
N^r,  the  captain  of  his  host : and 
Saul  lay  in  the  ^trench,  and  the 
people  pitched  round_  about  him.  ^ 

6 Then  answered  Dawid  and  said 

to  A-him-e-le-eh  the  Hit-tite,  and  to 
A-bi-shm  ^ the  son  of  Ze-rudah,  bro- 
ther to  Jo-ab,  saying.  Who  will  ^go 
down  with  me  to  Saul  to  the  camp  1 
And  A-bl-shm  said,  I will  go  down 
with  thee.  ^ _ 

7 So  DaWid  and  A-bi-shai  came 
to  the  people  by  night;  and,  be 
hold,  Saul  lajr  sleeping  within  the 
trench,  and  his  spear  stuck  in  the 
ground  at  his  bolster : but  Ab-ner 
and  the  people  lay  round  about 
him. 

8 Then  said  A-bi-shai  to  DaWid, 

God  hath  ® delivered  thine  enemy 
into  thine  hand  this  day : now 
therefore  let  me  smite  him,  I pray 
thee,  with  the  spear  even  to  the 
earth  at  once,  and  I will  not  smite 
him  the  second  time.  ^ _ 

9 And  DaAid  said  to  A-bi-shai,  De- 
stroy him  not : ’^for  who  can  stretch 
forth  his  hand  against  the  Lord’s 

I anointed,  and  be  guiltless'? 

' 10  Da  Aid  said  furthermore.  As 
the  Lord  liveth,  ^ ^ the  Lord  shall 
i smite  him ; or  nis  day  shall  come 
I to  die ; or  he  shall  descend  into 
battle,  and  perish. 

I I * The  Lord  forbid  that  I should 
1 stretch  forth  mine  hand  against  the 
j Lord’s  anointed : but,  I pray  thee, 

take  thou  now  the  spear  that  is  at

his  bolster,  and  the  cruse  of  water, 

and  let  us  go. 

12  So  DaAld  took  the  spear  and 
the  cruse  of  water  from  Saul’s  bol- 
ster ; and  they  gat  them  away,  and 
no  man  saw  it,  nor  knew  it,  neither 
awaked : for  they  were  all  asleep ; 
because  ^a  deep  sleep  from  the 
Lord  was  fallen  upon  them. 

1 3 51  Then  DaAid  went  over  to  the 
other  side,  and  stood  on  the  top  of 
an  hill  afar  off;  a great  space  being 
between  them : 

14  And  Da-vid  cried  to  the  people, 
and  to  AbAer  the  son  of  Ner,  say- 
ing, Answerest  thou  not,  Ab-ner  1 
Then  AbAer  answered  and  said, 
Who  art  thou  that  criest  to  the  king  % 

15  And  DaAid  said  to  AbAer,  Art 
not  thou  a valiant  man'?  and  who 
is  like  to  thee  in  IsAa-el '?  wherefore 
then  hast  thou  not  kept  thy  lord  the 
king '?  for  there  cam.e  one  of  the  peo- 
pie  in  to  destroy  the  king  thy  lord. 

1 6 This  thing  is  not  good  that  thou 
hast  done.  As  the  Lord  liveth,  ye 
are  ^ worthy  to  die,  because  ye  have 
not  kept  your  master,  the  Lord’s 
anointed.  And  now  see  where  the 
king’s  spear  is,  and  the  cruse  of 
water  that  was  at  his  bolster. 

1 7 And  Saul  knew  Da-y id’s  voice, 
and  said,  Is  this  thy  voice,  my  son 
DaAid  ? And  DaAid  said.  It  is  my 
voice,  my  lord,  O king. 

18  And  he  said,  Wherefore  doth 
my  lord  thus  pursue  after  his  serv- 
ant'? for  what  have  I done*?  or 
what  evil  is  in  mine  hand '? 

19  Now  therefore,  I pray  thee,  let 
my  lord  the  king  hear  the  words 
of  his  servant.  If  the  Lord  have 

stirred  thee  up  against  me,  let  him 
^ accept  an  offering : but  if  they  he 
the  children  of  men,  cursed  he  they 
before  the  Lord  ; * for  they  have 
driven  me  out  this  day  from  ^ abid- 
ing in  the  ^ inheritance  of  the  Lord, 
saying.  Go,  serve  other  gods. 

20  Now  therefore,  let  not  my  blood 
fall  to  the  earth  before  the  face  of 
the  Lord  : for  the  king  of  IshA-gl 
is  come  out  to  seek  flea,  as  when 
one  doth  hunt  a partridge  in  the 
mountains. 

21  51  Then  said  Saul,  ‘’I  have  sin- 
ned : return,  my  son  Da  Aid ; for  I 
will  no  more  do  thee  harm,  because 
my  soul  was  ^'precious  in  tbine  eyes 
this  day  : behold,  I have  played  tho 
fool,  and  have  erred  exceedingly. 

22  And  DaAid  answered  and  said, 
Behokl  the  king’s  spear ! and  let 
one  of  the  young  men  come  over 
and  fetch  it. 

23  ‘‘The  Lord  render  to  every  man 
his  righteousness  and  his  faithfuh

ness;  for  the  Lokd  delivered  thee 
into  my  hand  to  day,  but  I would 
not  stretch  forth  mine  hand  against 
the  Lord’s  anointed. 

24  And,  behold,  as  thy  life  was 
much  set  by  this  day  in  mine  eyes, 
so  let  my  life  be  much  set  by  in 
the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  and  let  him 
deliver  me  out  of  all  tribulation. 

25  Then  Saul  said  to  Da-vid, 
Blessed  he  thou,  my  son  Da-vid : 
thou  shalt  both  do  great  things, _ and 
also  shalt  still  ® prevail.  So  Da-vid 
went  on  his  way,  and  Saul  returned 
to  his  place. 

CHAPTER  27. 

1 Saul  ’hearing  David  to  be  in  Gath  seelceth  no  more  for 

him.  5 David  beggeth  Ziklag  of  Achish. 

AND  Da-vid  said  in  his  heart,  I 
XX  shall  now  ^perish  one  day  by 
the  hand  of  Saul : there  is  nothing 
better  for  me  than  that  I should 
speedily  escape  into  the  land  of  the 
Pni-lis-tines  ; and  Saul  shall  despair 
of  me,  to  seek  me  any  more  in  any 
coast  of  Is-ra-el : so  shall  I escape 
out  of  his  hand, 

2 And  Da-vid  arose,  ®and  he 
passed  over  with  the  six  hundred 
men  that  were  with  him  •''unto  A- 
Rhish,  the  son  of  Ma-5ch,  king  of 
Gath. 

3 And  Da-vid  dwelt  with  A-chish 
at  Gath,  he  and  his  men,  everj^  man 
with  his  household,  even  Da-vid 
^with  his^  two  wives,  A-hin-5-am 
the  JezAg-el-i-tess,  and  Abh-gail 
the  -Garymel-I-tess,  Na-bal’s  wife. 

4 And  it  was  told  Saul  that  Da-vid 
was  fled  to  Gath ; and  he  sought  no 
more  again  for  him. 

5 H And  DA-vid  said  unto  A'ehish, 
If  I have  now  found  grace  in  thine 
eyes,  let  them  give  me  a place  in 
some  town  in  the  country,  that  I 
may  dwell  there : for  why  should 
thy  servant  dwell  in  the  royal  city 
with  thee  I 

6 Then  A-chish  gave  him  Zikdag 
that  day : wherefore  ® Zikdag  per- 
taineth  unto  the  kings  of  Ju-dah 
unto  this  day. 

_ 7 And  “^the  time  that  Da  Aid  dwelt 
in  the  country  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
was  ®a  full  year  and  four  months. 

8 U And  DaAid  and  his  men  went 
up,  and  invaded  Hhe  GeshA-rites, 
*and  the  ® GezAites,  and  the  “Am-a- 
lek-ites : for  those  nations  were  of 
old  the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  as 
thou  goest  to  Shur,  even  unto  the 
land  of  E-_gypt. 

9 And  DaAid  smote  the  land,  and 
left  neither  man  nor  woman  alive, 
and  took  away  the  sheep,  and  the 
oxen,  and  the  asses,  and  the  camels,

and  the  apparel,  and  returned,  and 
came  to  AAhish. 

10  And  AAhish  said,  ^Whither  have 
ye  made  a road  to  day^  And  Da- 
vid said.  Against  the  south  of  Ju- 
dah, and  against  the  south  of  “the 
Je-rah-mC-el-ites,  and  against  the 
south  of  ^the  Ken-ites. 

1 1 And  DaAid  saved  neither  man 
nor  woman  alive,  to  bring  tidings 
to  Gath,  saying.  Lest  they  should 
tell  on  us,  saying.  So  did  DaAid, 
and  so  will  be  his  manner  all  the 
while  he  dwelleth  in  the  country  of 
the  Phi-lis^tines. 

1 2 And  AAhish  believed  DaAid, 
saying.  He  hath  made  his  people 
IsAa-el  Utterly  to  abhor  him ; there- 
fore he  shall  be  my  servant  for  ever. 

CHAPTER  28. 

1 Achish  putteth  confidence  in  David.  3 Saul,  forsaken  of 

God,  7 seeketh  to  a witch.  9 The  witch  raiseth  up  Samwcl. 

15  Saul,  hearing  his  ruin,  fainteth.  21  He  is  refreshed, 

with  meat. 

AND  ‘^it  came  to  pass  in  those 
XJL  days,  that  the  Phi-lis-tines  ga- 
thered their  armies  together  for 
warfare,  to  fight  with  IsAa-el.  And 
AAhish  said  unto  DaAid,  Know 
thou  assuredly,  that  thou  shalt  go 
out  with  me  to  battle,  thou  and  thy 
men. 

2 And  DaAid  said  to  AAhish, 
Surely  thou  shalt  know  what  thy 
servant  can  do.  And  AAhish  said 
to  DaAid,  Therefore  will  I make 
thee  keeper  of  mine  head  for  ever. 

3 U N9W  '"Samm-el  was  dead,  and 
all  IsAa-el  had  lamented  him,  and 
buried  him  in  Hia-mah,  even  in  his 
own  city.  And  Saul  had  put  away 
'‘'those  that  had  familiar  spirits,  and 
the  wizards,  out  of  the  land. 

4 And  the  Phi-lis-tines  gathered 
themselves  together,  and  came  and 
pitched  in  ^ Shu Aem  ; and  Saul  ga- 
thered all  Is-ra-el  together,  and  they 
pitched  in  ”"Gil-boA. 

5 And  when  Saul  saw  the  host  of 
the  Phi-lis-tines,  he  was  afraid,  and 
his  heart  greatly  trembled. 

6 And  when  Saul  enquired  of  the 
Lord,  ^the  Lord  answered  him  not, 
neither  by  ^dreams,  nor  ^by  UAim, 
nor  by  prophets. 

7 IT  Then  said  Saul  unto  his  serv- 
ants, Seek  me  a woman  that  hath 
a familiar  spirit,  that  I may  go  to 
her,  and  enquire  of  her.  And  his 
servants  said  to  him,  Behold,  there 
is  a woman  that  hath  a familiar 
spirit  at  En'-dor. 

8 And  Saul  disguised  himself,  and 
put  on  other  rairnent,  and  he  went, 
and  two  men  with  him,  and  they 
came  to  the  woman  by  night : and 
^he  said,  I pray  thee,  divine  unto  me

by  the  familiar  spirit,  and  bring  me 
him  np,  whom  I shall  name  unto 
thee.  _ , 1 . 

9 And  the  woman  said  unto  mm. 
Behold,  thou  knowest  what  Saul 
hath  done,  how  he  hath  “cut  off 
those  that  have  familiar  spirits,  and 
the  wizards,  out  of  the  land  : where- 
fore then  layest  thou  a snare  for 
my  life,  to  cause  me  to  die'? 

10  And  Saul  sware  to  her  by  the 
Lokd,  saying,  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
there  shall  no  punishment  happen 
to  thee  for  this  thing. 

11  Then  said  the  woman,  Whom 
shall  I bring  up  unto  thee'?_  And 
he  said.  Bring  me  up  Sam-u-el. 

1 2 And  when  the  woman  saw  Sam- 
u-el,  she  cried  with  a loud  voice : 
and  the  woman  spake  to  Saul,  say- 
ing, Why  hast  thou  deceived  mel 
for  thou  art  Saul. 

13  And  the  king  said  unto  her,  Be 
not  afraid : for  what  sawest  thou '? 
And  the  woman  said  unto  S^ul,  I 
saw  ‘'gods  ascending  out  of  the 
earth. 

14  And  he  said  unto  her,  UVhat 
form  is  he  of '?  And  she  said.  An  old 
man  cometh  up  ; and  he  is  covered 
with  ‘^a  mantle.  And  Saul  perceived 
that  it  tvas  Sam-u-el,  and  he  stooped 
with  Azs  face  to  the  ground,  and 
bowed  himself. 

15  II  And  Sam-u-el  said  to  Saul, 
Why  hast  thou  disquieted  me,  to 
bring  me  up '?  And  Saul  answered, 

am  sore  distressed ; for  the  Phi- 
lis-tines  make  war  against  me,  and 
^ God  is  departed  from  me,  and 
* answereth  me  no  more,  neither 
^by  prophets,  nor  by  dreams  : there- 
fore I have  called  thee,  that  thou 
mayest  make  known  unto  me  what 
I shall  do. 

16  Then  said  Sam-u-gl,  Wherefore 
then  dost  thou  ask  of  me,  seeing 
the  Lord  is  departed  from  thee,  and 
is  become  thine  enemy '? 

17  And  the  Lord  hath  done  ^to 
him,  'as  he  spake  by  ^me : for  the 
Lord  hath  rent  the  kingdom  out 
of  thine  hand,  and  given  it  to  thy 
neighbour,  even  to  Da-vid  : 

18  ^Because  thou  obeyedst  not  the 
voice  of  the  Lord,  nor  executedst 
his  fierce  wrath  upon  Am-a-lek, 
therefore  hath  the^  Lord  done  this 
thing  unto  thee  this  day. 

19  Moreover  the  Lord  will  also 
deliver  Is-ra-6l  with  thee  into  the 
hand  of  the  Phi-lis-tines : and  to 
morrow  shalt  thou  and  thy  sons  he 
with  me : the  Lord  also  shall  de- 
liver the  host  of  Is-ra-el  into  the 
hand  of  the  Phi-lis-tines.

along  on  the  earth,  and  was  sore 
afraid,  because  of  the  words  of 
Sam-u-el : and  there  was  no  strength 
in  him  ; for  he  had  eaten  no  bread 
all  the  day,  nor  all  the  night. 

21  IT  And  the  woman  came  unto 
Saul,  and  saw  that  he  was  sore 
troubled,  and  said  unto  him.  Be- 
hold, thine  handmaid  hath  obeyed 
thy  voice,  and  I have  ''put  my  life 
in  my  hand,  and  have  hearkened 
unto  thy  words  which  thou  spakest 
unto  me. 

22  Now  therefore,  I pray  thee, 
hearken  thou  also  unto  the  voice 
of  thine  handmaid,  and  let  me  set 
a morsel  of  bread  before  thee ; and 
eat,  that  thou  mayest  have  strength, 
when  thou  goest  on  thy  way. 

23  But  he  refused,  and  said,  I will 
not  eat.  But  his  servants,  together 
with  the  woman,  compelled  him ; 
and  he  hearkened  unto  their  voice. 
So  he  arose  from  the  earth,  and  sat 
upon  the  bed. 

24  And  the  woman  had  a fat  calf 
in  the  house ; and  she  hasted,  and 
killed  it,  and  took  flour,  and  knead- 
ed it,  and  did  bake  unleavened 
bread  thereof: 

25  And  she  brought  it  before  Saul, 
and  before  his  servants ; and  they 
did  eat.  Then  they  rose  up,  and 
went  away  that  night. 

CHAPTER  29. 

I David  marching  ivith  the  Philistines,  3 is  disallowed  by

tions of  his  fidelity. 

I^OW  -^the  Phi-hs-tines  gathered 

II  together  all  their  armies  '‘to 
A-phek:  and  the  Is-ra-el- jtes  pitched 
by  a fountain  which  is  in  J ez-r Ael. 

2 And  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
passed  on  by  hundreds,  and  by 
thousands  : but  Da-vid  and  his  men 
passed  on  in  the  rereward  *with 
A'-ehish. 

3 Then  said  the  princes  of  the 

Phi-lis-tines,  What  do  ^ these  He-

to the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis-tines,

4 And  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  were  wroth  with  him  ; and  the 
princes  of  the  Phi-lis-tines  said  unto 
him,  ^'Make  this  fellow  return,  that 
lie  may  go  again  to  his  place  which 
thou  hast  appointed  him,  and  let 
him  not  go  down  with  us  to  battle,

1 The  AmaleTcites  spoil  Ziklag.  4 David  is  encouraged  by 
God  to  pursue  them.  11  By  means  of  a revived  Egyptian, 
he  is  brought  to  the  enem.ies,  18  and  recovereth  all  the 
spoil.  22  David’s  law  to  divide  the  spoil  equally  between 
them  that  fight  and  them  that  keep  the  stuff.  26  Be  send- 
eth  presents  to  his  friends. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  DaWid 
and  his  men  were  come  to  Zik- 
lag on  the  third  day,  that  the  ^ Am- 
a-lek-Ites  had  invaded  the  south, 
and  Zikdag,  and  smitten  Zikdag, 
and  burned  it  with  fire; 

2 And  had  taken  the  women  cap- 
tives, that^  were  therein : they  slew 
not  any,  either  great  or  small,  but 
carried  them  away,  and  went  on 
their  way. 

3 ^ So  Da-vid  and  his  men  came 
to  the  city,  and,  behold,^  it  was 
burned  with  fire  ; and  their  wives, 
and  their  sons,  and  their  daughters, 
were  taken  captives. 

4 Then  Da-yid  and  the  peojile  that 
were  with  him  lifted  up  their  voice 
and  wept,  until  they  had  no  more 
power  to  weep.

5 And  DaWid’s  “two  wives  were" 
taken  captives,  A-hin-6-am  the  Jez- 
rC-Sl-i-tess,  and  Ab-i-gail  the  wife 
of  Na-bM  the  -Car-mel-ite. 

6 And  DaWid  was  greatly  dis- 
tressed; "for  the  people  spake  of 
stoning  him,  because  tne  soul  of  all 
the  people  was  ^grieved,  every  man 
for  his  sons  and  for  his  daughters : 
"but  DaWid  encouraged  himself  in 
the  Loep  his  God._ 

7 ^And  DaWid  said  to  A-bi-a-thar 
the  priest,  A-him-e-lech’s  son,  I pray 
thee,  bring  me  hither  the  eph-Sd. 
And  A-bi-a-thar  brought  thither  the 
eph-5d  to  DaWid. 

8 '"And  DaWid  enquired  at  the 
Loed,  saying.  Shall  I pursue  after 
this  troop  ^ shall  I overtake  them  I 
And  he  answered  him.  Pursue : for 
thou  shalt  surely  overtake  them,  and 
without  fail  recover  all. 

9 So  DaAid  went,  he  and  the  six 
hundred  men  that  were  with  him, 
and  came  to  the  brook  Be-s6r,  where 
those  that  were  left  behind  stayed. 

10  But  Da-vid  pursued,  he  and 
four  hundred  men : *for  two  hun- 
dred abode  behind,  which  were  so 
faint  that  they  could  not  go  over 
the  brook  Be-sor. 

11^  And  they  found  an  E-gyp-tian 
in  the  field,  and  brought  him  to 
Da-vid,  and  gave  him  bread,  and  he 
did  eat ; and  they  made  him  drink 
water ; 

12  And  they  gave  him  a piece  of 
"^a  cake  of  figs,  and  two  clusters  of 
raisins:  and  ^ when  he  had  eaten, 
his  spirit  came  again  to  him : for 
he  had  eaten  no  bread,  nor  drunk 
any  water,  three  days  and  three 
nights. 

13  And  DaMd  said  unto  him.  To 
whom  belongest  thoul  and  whence 
art  thou'?  And  he  said,  I am  a 
young  man  of  E-gypt,  servant  to 
an  Am-a-lek-ite ; and  my  master 


left  me,  because  three  days  agone 


I fell  sick. 

14  We  made  an  invasion the 
south  of  ^the  Gher-e-thites,  and 
upon  the  coast  which  belongeth  to 
Ju-dah,  and  upon  the  south  of  ’’■Ga- 
leb;  and  we  burned  Zikdag  with 
fire. 

15  And  Da-vid  said  to  him^  Canst 
thou  Wng  me  down  to  this  com- 


pany? And  he  said.  Swear  unto  me 
byGc -.4  - 


_ od,  that  thou  wilt  neither  kill 
me,  nor  deliver  me  into  the  hands 
of  my  master,  and  I will  bring  thee 
down  to  tnis  company. 

16  H And  when  he  had  brought 
him  down>  behold,  they  were  spread 
abroad  upon  all  the  earth,  * eating 
and  drinking,  and  dancing,  because

SavZ  and  his  sons 

of  all  the  great  spoil  that  they  had 
taken  out  of  the  land  of  the  Pm-lis- 
tines,  and  out  of  the  land  of  J u-dah. 

17  And  Da-vid  smote  them  from 
the  twilight  even  unto  the  evening 
of  Hhe  next  day:  and  there  escaped 
not  a man  of  them,  save  four  hun- 
dred young  men,  which  rode  upon 
camels,  and  fled. 

18  And  Da-vid  recovered  all  that 
the  Am-a-lek-ites  had  carried  away : 
and  Da-vid  rescued  his  two  wives. 

1 9 And  there  was  nothing  lacking 
to  them,  neither  small  nor  great, 
neither  sons  nor  daughters,  neither 
spoil,  nor  any  thing they  had 
taken  to  them : -^DaAid  recovered 
all. 

20  And  DaAid  took  all  the  flocks 
and  the  herds,  which  they  drave 
before  those  other  cattle,  and  said, 
This  is  DaAid’s  spoil. 

21  U And  Dawid  came  to  the  ^two 
hundred  men,  which  were  so  faint 
that  they  could  not  follow  Da-vid, 
whom  they  had  made  also  to  abide 
at  the  brook  Be-s_6r ; and  they  went 
forth  to  meet  DaAid,  and  to  rneet 
the  people  that  were  with  him 
and  when  Dawid  came  near  to  the 
people,  he  saluted  them. 

22  Then  answered  all  the  wicked 

men  and  men  "‘of  Bedi-al,  of  those 
that  went  with  Da-vid,  and  said. 
Because  they  went  not  with  us,  we 
will  not  give  them  ought  of  the 
spoil  that  we  have  recovered,  save 
to  every  man  his  wife  and  his  chil- 
dren, that  they  may  lead  them  away, 
and  depart.  , „ 

23  Then  said  DA-vid,  Ye  shall  not 
do  so,  my  brethren,  with  that  which 
the  Lord  hath  given  us,  who  hath 
preserved  us,  and  delivered  the  com- 
pany that  came  against  us  into  our 
hand. 

24  For  who  will  hearken  unto  you 
in  this  matter  % but  ^as  his  part  is 
that  goeth  down  to  the  battle,  so 
sh/ill  nis  part  he  that  tarrieth  by 
the  stuff:  they  shall  part  alike. 

25  And  it  was  so  from  that  day 
^forward,  that  he  made  it  a statute 
and  an  ordinance  for  Is-ra-el  unto 
this  day. 

26  H And  when  Da-vid  came  to 

Zikdag,  he  sent  of  the  spoil  unto 
the  elders  of  Ju-dah,  even  to  his 
friends,  saying,  Behold  a ^present 
for  you  of  the  spoil  of  the  enemies 
of  the  Lord  ; .

1 Saul  having  lost  his  army  at  Gilboa,  and  his  sons  being 
slain,  he  and  his  armourbearer  kill  themselves.  8 The 
Philistines  triumph  over  the  dead  bodies.  11  They  of 
Jabesh-gilead  recover  the  bodies,  burn  them  at  Jabesh, 
and  bury  their  bones. 

T OW  ^the  Phi-lis-tines  fought  a- 
gainst  IsAa-el : and  the  men  of 
Is-ra-el  fled  from  before  the  Phi-lis- 
ti'nes,  and  fell  down  slain  in  mount 
*Gil-bo-a. 

2 And  the  Phi-lis-tines  followed 
hard  upon  Saul  and  upon  his  sons ; 
and  the  Phi-lis-tines  slew  ^Jdn-a- 
than,  and  A-bin-a-dab,  and  Mel-ehi- 
shu-a,  Saul’s  sons, 

3 And  ^ the  battle  went  sore  against 
Saul,  and  the  ^archers  ®hit  him ; 
and  he  was  sore  wounded  of  the 
archers. 

4 »*Then  said  Saul  unto  his  armour- 
bearer,  Draw  thy  sword,  and  thrust 
me  through  therewith ; lest  "these 
uncircumcised  come  and  thrust  me 
through,  and  abuse  me.  But  his 
armourbearer  would  not ; for  he 
was  sore  afraid.  Therefore  Saul 
took  a sword,  and  fell  upon  it. 

5 And  when  his  armourbearer  saw 
that  Saul  was  dead,  he  fell  like- 
wise upon  his  sword,  and  died  with 
him. 

6 So  Saul  died,  and  his  three  sons, 
and  his  armourbearer,  and  all  his 
men,  that  same  day  together.  ^ 

7 ^ And  when  the  men  of  Ish'a-el 
that  v)ere  on  the  other  side  of  the 
valley,  and  they  that  were  on  the 
other  side  J 6r-dan,  saw  that  the  men 
of  IsYa-el  fled,  and  tliat  Saul  and  his 
sons  were  dead,  they  forsook  the 
cities,  and  fled ; and  the  Phi-lis-tine§ 
came  and  dwelt  in  them. 

8 And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  mor- 
row, when  the  Phi-lis-tines  came  to 
strip  the  slain,  that  they  found  Saul 
and  his  three  sons  fallen  in  mount 
Gil-bohi. 

9 And  they  cut  off  his  head,  and 
stripped  off  his  armour,  and  sent

CHAPTER  1. 

1 The  Amalekite,  who  brought  tidings  of  the  overthrow, 

and  accused  himself  of  Haul's  death,  is  slain.  17  David 

lamenteth  Saul  and  Jonathan  with  a song. 

I^OW  it  came  to  pass  after  the 
lA  death  of  Saul,  when  DaAid 
was  returned  from  *the  slaughter 
of  the  AmA-lek-ites,^  and  Dawid 
had  abode  two  days  in  Zikdag; 

2 It  came  even  to  pass  on  the 
third  day,  that,  behold,  man 
came  out  of  the  camp  from  Saul 
®with  his  clothes  rent,  and  earth 
upon  his  head : and  so  it  was,  when 
he  came  to  DaAid,  that  he  fell  to 
the  earth,_  and  did  obeisance. 

3 And  DaAid  said  unto  him.  From 
whence  comest  thou '?  And  he  said 
unto  him.  Out  of  the  camp  of  Is- 
ra-el  am  I escaped. 

4 And  DaAid  said  unto  him,  ^ How 
went  the  matter '?  I pray  thee,  tell 
me.  And  he  answered.  That  the 
people  are  fled  from  the  battle,  and 
many  of  the  people  also  are  fallen 
and  dead  ; and  Saul  and  JbnA-than 
his  son  are  dead  also. 

5 And  DaAid  said  unto  the  young- 
man  that  told  him.  How  knowest 
thou  that  Saul  and  J6n-a-than  his 
son  be  dead  l 

6 And  the  young  man  that  told 
him  said.  As  I happened  by  chance 
upon  ”^mount  Gil-boA,  behold,  ”Saul 
leaned  upon  his  spear;  and,  lo, 
the  chariots  and  horsemen  followed 
hard  after  him. 

7 And  when  he  looked  behind  him, 
he  saw  me,  and  called  unto  me. 
And  I answered,  ^Here  am  I. 

8 And  he  said  unto  me.  Who  art 
thou^  And  I amswered  him,  I am 
an  AmA-lek-ite. 

9 He  said  unto  me  again.  Stand, 

I pray  thee,  upon  me,  and  slay 
me  : for  ^ anguish  is  ^ come  upon 
me,  because  my  life  is  yet  whole 
in  me.  1

10  So  I stood  upon  him,  and  “slew 
him,  because  I was  sure  that  he 
could  not  live  after  that  he  was 
fallen : and  1 took  the  crown  that 
was  upon  his  head,  and  the  brace- 
let that  was  on  his  arm,  and  have 
brought  them  hither  unto  my  lord. 

11  Then  DaWid  took  hold  on  his 
clothes,  and  ‘’rent  them;  and  like- 
wise all  the  men  that  were  with 
him : 

1 2 And  they  mourned,  and  wept, 
and  fasted  until  even,  for  Saul,  and 
for  Jbn-a-than  his  son,  and  for  the 
people  of  the  Lord,  and  for  the 
house  of  IsAa-el ; because  they  were 
fallen  by  the  sword. 

13  H And  DaWid  said  unto  the 
young  man  that  told  him.  Whence 
art  thou  % And  he  answered,  I am 
the  son  of  a stranger,  an  AmA-lek- 
ite. 


1 4 And  DaWid  said  unto  ^ him, 
^How  wast  thou^  not  ^afraid  tc 
'‘stretch  forth  thine  hand  to  de- 
stroy the  Lord’s  anointed'? 

15  And  *DaWid  called  one  of  the 
young  menj  and  said.  Go  near,  and 
fall  upon  him.  And  he  smote  him 
that  he  died. 

1 6 And  Da-vid  said  unto  him,  '^Thy 
blood  be  upon  thy  head for  ' thy 
mouth  hath  testified  against  thee, 
saying,  I have  slain  the  Lord’s 
anointed. 

17  H And  DaWid  lamented  with 
this  lamentation  over  Saul  and  over 
J on  A- than  his  son : 

18  (‘’Also  he  bade  them  teach  the 

children  of  JuAah  the  use  of  the 
bow:  behold,  it  is  written  ^in  the 
book  ^of  JaAher.)  ^ ^

shield  of  Saul,  as  though^  he  had 
not  been  '^anointed  with  oil. 

22  From  the  blood  of  the  slain,

were  ^stronger  than  lions.^

over  Saul,  who  clothed  you  in  scar- 
let, with  other  delights,  who  put

25  How  are  the  mighty  fallen  in

is  made  king  of  Judah.  8 Abner  maketh  Ish-bosheth 
king  of  Israel.  18  Asahel  is  slain. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  this, 
that  DaMd  ""enquired  of  the 
Loed,  saying.  Shall  I_go  up  into 
any  of  the  cities  of  Ju-dah'?  And 
the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Go  up. 

And  Da-vid  said.  Whither  shall  I 
go  up '?  And  he  said,  U nto  " He-brdn. 

2 So  Da-vid  went  up  thither,  and 
his  "two  wives  also,  A-hin-5-am  the 
j6zYe-el-I-t6ss,  and  Abd-gail  Na- 
bal’s  wife  the  -Car-mM-ite. 

3 And  ^his  men  that  were  with 
him  did  Da-vid  bring  up,  every 
man  with  his  household  : and  they 
dwelt  in  the  cities  of  He-br6n. 

4 ^And  the  men  of  Ju-dah  came, 
and  there  they  anointed  DaWid  king 
over  the  house  of  Ju-dah.  And  they 
told  pa-vid,  saying.  That  ®the  men 
of  Ja-besh-gil-6-ad  were  they  that 
buried  Saul.  _ 

5 IT  And  DaWid  sent  messengers 
unto  the  rcien  of  Ja-besh-gil-6-ad, 
and  said  unto  them,  * Blessed  he  ye 
of  the  Lord,  that  ye  have  shewed 
this  kindness  unto  your  lord,  even 
unto  Saul,  and  have  buried  him. 

6 And  now  ^'the  Lord  shew  kind- 


Ish-hosheth made  king.

ness  and  truth  unto  you  : and  I also 
will  requite  you  this  kindness,  be 
cause  ye  have  done  this  thing. 

7 Therefore  now  let  your  hands^ 
be  strengthened,  and  ^be  ye  val- 
iant : for  your  master  Saul  is  dead, 
and  also  the  house  of  Ju-dah  have 
anointed  me  king  over  them. 

8 ^ But  "Ab-ner  the  son  of  Ner, 
captain  of  ^Saul’s  host,  took  ^ Ish-bo- 
sheth the  son  of  Saul,  and  brought 
him  over  to  Ma-ha-na-im ; 

9 And  made  him  king  oyer  Gil- 
e-ad,  and  over  the  Ash-iir-ites,  and 
over  JezYAel,  and  over  E-phra-im, 
and  over  Ben-ja-min,  and  over  all 
IsYa-el. 

10  Ish-bo-sheth  Saul’s  son  teas 
forty  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign  over  IsYa-el,  and  reigned  two 
years.  But  the  house  of  Ju-dah  fol- 
lowed Da-vid. 

1 1 And  '"the  Hime  that  Da-vid  was 
king  in  He-br6n  over  the  house  of 
Ju-dah  was  seven  years  and  six 
months. 

12  ^ And  Ab-ner  the  son  of  Ner, 
and  the  servants  of  Ish-bo-shem 
the  son  of  Saul,  went  out  from  Ma- 
ha-nahm  to  *Gib-e-6n. 

13  And  Jo-ab  the  son  of  ZAru-iah, 
and  the  servants  of  DaWid,  went 
out,  and  met  ® together  by  Hhe  pool 
of  Gib-e-5n : and  they  sat  down,  the 
one  on  the  one  side  of  the  pool,  and 
the  other  on  the  other  side  of  the 
pool. 

14  And  Ab-ner  said  to  Jo-ab,  Let 
the  young  men  now  arise,  and  play 
before  us.  And  J o-ab  said.  Let  them 
arise. 

1 5 Then  there  arose  and  went  over 
by  number  twelve  of  Ben-ja-min, 
which  pertained  to  Ish-bo-sheth  the 
son  of  Saul,  and  twelve  of  the  serv- 
ants of  Da-vid. 

1 6 And  they  caught  every  one  his 
fellow  by  the  head,  and  thrust  his 
sword  in  his  fellow’s  side ; so  they 
fell  down  together : wherefore^  that 
place  was  ca]led  AH6l-kath-haz-zu- 
rim,  which  is  in  Gib-e-5n. 

1 7 And  there  was  a very  sore  battle 
that  day;  and  Abhier  was  beaten, 
and  the  men  of  Is-ra-el,  before  the 
servants  of  Da-vid. 

18  ^ And  there  were  "three  sons 
of  ZAru-iah  there,  Jo-ab,  and  A-bi' 
shai,  and  A-sAhA : and  Aj-sfi-hel  was 
^as  light  ®pf  foot  “as^  a wild  roe.„ 

1 9 And  A-sa-h6l  pursued  after  Ab- 
ner ; and  in  going  he  turned  not  to 
the  right  hand  nor  to  the  left  Hrom 
following  AVj-ner. 

20  Then  Ab-ner  looked  behind  him, 
and  said.  Art  thou  A-sAliMl  And  he 
answered,  I am.

21  And  Abdier  said  to  hini,  Turn 

thee  aside  to  thy  right  hand  or  to 
thy  left,  and  lay  thee  hold  on  one 
of  the  young  men,  and  take  thee 
his  ^armour.  But  A-sa-hel  would 
not  turn  aside  from  following  of 
him.  ^ ^ , 

22  And  Ab-ner  said  again  to  A Isa- 
bel, Turn  thee  aside  from  following 
me:  wherefore  should  I smite  thee 
to  the  ground!  how  then  should 
I hold  up  my  face  to  Jo-ab  thy 
brother  % 

23  Howbeit  he  refused  to  turn 
aside : wherefore  Abdier  with  the 
hinder  end  of  his  spear  smote  him 
‘'under  the  fifth  rib,  that  the  spear 
came  out  behind  him  ; _ and  he  fell 
down  there,  and  died  in  the  same 
place : and  it  came  to  pass,  that  as 
many  as  came  to  the  place  where 
A-sa-hel  fell  down  and  died  stood 
still. 

24  Jo-ab  also  and  A-bi-shai  pursued 
after  Ab-ner : and  the  sun  went 
down  when  they  were  come  to  the 
hill  of  Am-mah,  that  lieth  before 
Gi-ah  by  the  way  of  the  wilderness 
of  Gib-e-6n. 

25  U And  the  children  of  Ben-^d- 
min  gathered  themselves  together 
after  Ab-ner,  and  became  one  troop, 
and  stood  on  the  top  of  an  hill. 

26  Then  Ab-ner  called  to  Jo-ab, 
and  said.  Shall  the  sword  devour 
for  ever!  knowest  thou  not  that  it 
will  be  bitterness  in  the  latter  end! 
hov/  long  shall  it  be  then,  ere  thou 
bid  the  people  return  from  follow- 
ing their  brethren ! 

27  And  Jo-ab  said.  As  God  liveth, 
unless  Hhou  hadst  spoken,  surely 
then  ^in  the  morning  the  people 
had  ^gone  up  every  one  from  fol- 
lowing his  brother. 

28  So  Jo-ab  blew  a trumpet,  and 
all  the  people  stood  still,  and  pur- 
sued after  IsAa-el  no  more,  neither 
fought  they  any  more. 

29  And  Ab-ner  and  his  men  walked 
all  that  night  through  the  plain, 
and  passed  over  Jor-dan,  and  went 
through  all  BithAon,  and  they  came 
to  Ma-ha-na-im. 

30  And  JoAb  returned  from  fol- 
lowing Ab-ner : and  when  he  had 
gathered  all  the  people  together, 
there  lacked  of  DaAid’s  servants 
nineteen  men  and  AAa-hel. 

31  But  the  servants  of  DaAid  had 
smitten  of  B6n-ja-min,  and  of  Ab- 
ner’s men,  so  that  three  hundred 
and  threescore  men  died.  _ 

32  And  they  took  up  AAa-hel, 
and  buried  him  in  the  sepulchre 
of  his  father,  which  ivas  m BetlT- 
l6-hem.  And  Joblb  anrl  his  men

]^OW  there  was  long  v^ar  be* 
lA  tween  the  house  of  Saul  and 
the  house  of  DaAid : but  DaAid 
waxed  stronger  and  stronger,  and 
the  house  of  Saul  v/axed  weaker 
and  weaker. 

2 IT  And  ""unto  Da  Aid  were  sons 
born  in  HeArSn : and  his  firstborn 
was  AmAOn,  *of  A-hin-O-am  the 
JezAs-el-i-tess ; 

3 And  his  second,  ^-GhilA-ab,  of 
Abd-gml_  the  wife  of  NaAal  the 
•GarAiel-ite ; and  the  third,  AbAa- 
i5m  the  son  of  MaA-cah  the  daugh- 
ter of  Tal-mai  king  ‘^of  GeAhiir  ; 

4 And  the  fourth,  ®Ad-5-nidah 
the  son  of  HagAith ; and  the  fifth, 
Sh6ph-a-ti-ah  the  son  of  Abd-tal  • 

5 And  the  sixth,  IthA6-am,  by 
Egdah  DaAid’s  wife._  These  were 
born  to  Da-vid  in  HeArOn. 

6 IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
there  was  war  between  the  house 
of  Saul  and  the  house  of  DaAid, 
that  AbAer  made  himself  strong 
for  the  house  of  Saul, 

7 And  Saul  had  a concubine, 
whose  name  was  -^IlizAah,  the 
daughter  of  Adah : and  Ish-bo- 
sheth  said  to  Ab-ner,  Wherefore 
hast  thou  ^gone  in  unto  my  fa- 
ther’s concubine! 

8 Tlien  was  AbAer  very  wroth 
for  the  words  of  Ish-boAh6th,  and 
said.  Am  I "a  dog’s  head,_  which 
against  Ju-dah  do  shew  kindness 
this  day  unto  the  house  of  Saul 
thy  father,  to  his  brethren,  a;nd  to 
his  friends,  and  have  not  delivered 
thee  into  the  hand  of  Da  Aid,  that 
thou  chargest  me  to  day  with  a 
fault  concerning  this  woman! 

9 *So  do  God  to  AbAer,  and 
more  also,  except,  As  the  Loed 
hath  sworn  to  DaAid,  even  so  I 
do  to  him; 

10  To  translate  the  kingdom  from 
the  house  of  Saul,  and  to  set  up 
the  throne  of  DaAid  over  IsAa-el 
and  over  JuAah,  "'from  Dan  even 
to  BeAr-sheAa. 

11  And  he  could  not  answer  Ab- 
ner a word  again,  because  he  feared 
him. 

12  ^ And  AbAer  sent  messengers 
to  DaAid  on  his  behalf,  saying. 
Whose  is  the  land!  saying  also,, 
Make  thy  league  with  me,  and,  be- 
hold, my  hand  shall  he  with  thee, 
to  bring  about  all  IsAa-el  unto  thee. 

13  H And  he  said.  Well;  I will 


304

make  a league  with  thee : but  one 
thing  I require  of  thee,  Hhat  is, 
^Thou  shalt  not^  see  my  face,  ex- 
cept thou  fii’st  bring  ‘'Mi-ehal  Saul’s 
daughter,  when  thou  comest  to  see 
my  face. 

14  And  Da-vid  sent  messengers 
to  Ish-bo-sheth  Saul’s  son,  saying. 
Deliver  me  my  wife  Mi-chal,  which 
I espoused  to  me  "'for  an  hundred 
foreskins  of  the  Phi-lis-tines. 

15  And  Ish-bo-sheth  sent,  and 
took  her  from  her  husband  _ even 
from  ^Phal-ti-el  the  son  of  La^sh. 

16  And  her  husband  went  with 
her  ® along  weeping  behind  her  to 
^Ba-hu-rim.  Then  said  Ab-ner  unto 
him.  Go,  return.  And  he  returned. 

ITU  And  Ab-ner  had  communica- 
tion with  the  elders  of  IsAa-el,  say- 
ing, Ye  sought  for  Da  Aid  ®in  times 
past  to  be  king  over  you  : 

18  Now  then  do  it:  ^for  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  of  DaAid,  saying.  By 
the  hand  of  my  servant  DaAid  I 
will  save  my  people  IsAa-el  out 
of  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis-tines, 
and  out  of  the  hand  of  all  their 
enemies.  ^ 

19  And  AbAer  also  spake  in  the 
ears  of  "Ben-ja-min  j and  AbAer 
went  also  to_  speak  in  the  ears  of 
DaAid  in  HeArCn  all  that  seemed 
good  to  IsAa-el,  a,nd  that  seemed 
good  to  the  whole  house  of  Ben- 
ja-min.  ^ 

20  So  AbAer  came  to  DaAid  to 
HeArOn,  and  twenty  men  with  him. 
And  DaAid  made  AbAer  and  the 
men  that  ivere  v/ith  him  a feast. 

21  And  AbAer  said  unto  Da  Aid, 
I will  arise  and  go,  and  ’’will  gather 
all  IsAfi-el  unto  my  lord  the  king, 
that  they  may  make  a league  with 
thee,  and  that  thou  mayest  Aeign 
over  all  that  thine  heart  desireth. 
And  DaAid  sent  AbAer  away ; and 
he  went  in  peace. 

22  ^ And,  behold,  the  servants  of 
DaAid  ana  JoAb  came  from  pur- 
suing a troop,  and  brought  in  a 
great  spoil  with  them  but  AbAer 
was  not  with  DaAid  in  HeArCn ; 
for  he  had  sent  him  away,  and  he 
was  gone  in  peace. 

23  When  JoAb  and  all  the  host 
that  was  with  him  were  come,  they 
told  JoAb,  saying.  Ab-ner  the  son 
of  Ner  came  to  the  king,  amd  he 
hath  sent  him  away,  and  he  is  gone 
in  peace. 

24  Then  JoAb  came  to  the  king, 
and  said.  What  hast  thou  done'? 
behold,  AbAer  came  unto  thee ; 
why  is  it  that  thou  hast  sent  him 
away,  and  he  is  quite  gone'? 

25  Thou  knowest  AbAer  the  son

26  And  when  JoAb  was  come  out 
from  DaAid,  he  sent  messengers 
after  AbAer,  which  brought  him 
again  from  the  well  of  Sih-ah : but 
DaAid  knew  it  not.

31  ^ And  DaAid  said  to  J oAb,  and 
to  all  the  people  that  were  with 
him,  ^Bend  your  clothes,  and  ®gird 
you  with  sackcloth,  and  mourn  be-

37  For  all  the  people  and  all  I.^-

was  not  of  the  king  to  slay  Abhier 
the  son  of  Ner.  ^

II.  SAMUEL,  4,  5. 


David  anointed  king. 


39  And  I am  this  day  Hveak, 
though  anointed  king ; and  these 
men  the  sons  of  Ze-ru-iah  ^he  too 
hard  for  me:  ^the  Lord  shall  re- 
ward the  doer  of  evil  according 
to  his  wickedness. 

CHAPTER  4. 

2 Baandh  and  Rechab  slay  Ish-bosheth,  and  bring  his 
head  to  Hebron.  9 David  causeth  them  to  be  slain,  and 
Ish-bosheth' s head  to  be  buried. 

AND  when  Saul’s  son_  heard  that 
Ab-ner  was  dead  in  He-bron, 
Tiis  hands  were  feeble,  and  all  the 
IsAa-el-ites  were  ''troubled. 

2 And  Saul’s  son  had  two  men 
that  were  captains  of  bands  : the 
name  of  the  one  was  Ba-a-nah,  and 
the  name  of  the  ^ other  Re^chab, 
the  sons  of  Rim-mOn  a Be-eA5th- 
ite,  of  the  children  of  Ben-ja-min ; 
(for  '"BAeAOth  also  was  reckoned 
to  Ben-ja-min. 

3 And  the  Be-eAOth-ites  fled  to 
*Git-ta-im,  and  were  sojourners 
there  until  this  day.) 

4 And  ^JOn-a-than,  Saul’s  son,  had 
a son  that  was  lame  of  his  feet. 
He  was  five  years  old  when  the 
tidings  came  oi  Saul  and  J On-a-than 
"out  of  JezAAel,  and  his  nurse  took 
him  up,  and  fled : and  it  came  to 
pass,  as  she  made  haste  to  flee,  that 
he  fell,  and  became  lame.  And  his 
name  was  ‘^Me-phib-6-sheth. 

5 And  the  sons  of  Rim-m5n  the 
Be-eA6th-ite,Re-chab  and  Ba-a-nah, 
went,  and  came  about  the  heat  of 
the  day  to  the  house  of  Ish-bo- 
sheth, who  lay  on  a bed  at  noon. 

6 And  they  came  thither  into  the 
midst  of  the  house,  as  though  they 
would  have  fetched  wheat;  and 
they  smote  him  "under  the  fifth 
rib : and  Rechab  and  Ba-a-nah  his 
brother  escaped. 

7 For  when  they  came  into  the 
house,  he  lay  on  his  bed  in  his  bed- 
chamber, and  they  smote  him,  and 
slew  him,  and  beheaded  him,  and 
took  his  head,  and  gat  them  away 
through  the  plain  all  night. 

8 And  they  brought  the  head  of 
Ish-bo-shetn  unto  DaAid  to  He- 
bron, and  said  to  the  king.  Behold 
the  head  of  Ish-bo-sheth  the  son 
of  Saul  thine  enemy,  “which  sought 
thy  life ; and  the  Lord  hath  avenged 
my  lord  the  king  this  day  of  Saul, 
and  of  his  seed. 

9 And  DaAid  answered  Re'-ehab 
and  Ba-a-nah  his  brother,  the  sons 
of  Rim-mOn  the  Be-eA5th-ite,  and 
said  unto  them,  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
®who^  hath  redeemed  my  soul  out 
of  all  adversity, 

10  When  ®one  told  me,  saying. 
Behold,  Saul  is  dead,  ’thinking  to

and  cut  off  their  hands  and  their

CHAPTER  5. 

1 The  tribes  anoint  David  king  over  Israel.  6 He  taketh 
Zion  from  the  Jebusites,  and  dwelleth  in  it.  13  Eleven 
sons  are  born  to  him  in  Jerusalem.  17,  22  He  smiteth  the 
rhilistines. 


rpHEN  ^came  all  the  tribes  of 
J_  IsAa-el  to  DaAid  unto  HeArSn, 
and  spake,  saying.  Behold,  ""we  are 
thy  bone  and  thy  flesh. 

2 Also  in  time  past,  when  Saul 
was  king  over  us,  "thou  wast  he 
that  leddest  out  and  broughtest  in 
TsAa-el : and  the  Lord  said  to  thee, 
^Thou  shalt  feed  my  people  IsAa-6l, 
and  thou  shalt  be  a captain  over 


IsAa-el. 

3 ®So  all  the  elders  of  IsAa-el  came 
to  the  king  to  HeArDn  ; ""and  king 
DaAid  made  a league  with  them  in 
HeArOn  * before  the  Lord  ; and  they 
anointed  Da  Aid  king  over  IsAa-el. 

4 ^ DaAid  was  thirty  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign,  *and  he 
reigned  forty  years. 

5 In  HeAr5n  he  reigned  over  Ju- 
dah "'seven  years  and  six  months : 
and  in  Je-ru-sa-lem  he  reigned 
thirty  and  three  years  over  all  Is- 
rael and  Ju-dah. 

6 ^ And  the  king  and  his  men 
went  ^to  Je-ruAa-lem  unto  Hhe 
JebA-sites,  the  inhabitants  o_f  the 
land : which  spake  unto  DaAid, 
saying,  Except  thou  take  away  the 
blind  and  the  lame,  thou  shalt  not 
come  in  hither:  ® thinking,  DaAid 
cannot  come  in  hither. 

7 Nevertheless  DaAid  took  the 
strong  hold  of  Zi-6n : Hhe  same  is 
the  city  of  DaAid. 

8 And  DaAid  said  on  that  day, 
Whosoever  getteth  up  to  the  gut- 
ter, and  smiteth  the  JebA-sites, 
and  the  lame  and  the  blind,  that 
are  hated  of  DaAid’s  soul,  ^ he  shall 
he  chief  and  captain.  ® Wherefore 
they  said,  The  blind  and  the  lame 
shall  not  come  into  the  house.

9 So  Da-vid  dwelt  in  the  fort,  and 

called  it  “the  city  of  Da-vid.  And 
Da-vid  built  round  about  from  Mil- 
16  and  inward. 

10  And  Da-vid  ^went  on,  and 

grew  great,  and  the  Loe,d  God  of 
osts  teas  with  him. 

11  H And  ®Hi-ram  king  of  Tyre 
sent  messengers  to  Da-vid,  and 
cedar  trees,  and  carpenters,  and 
masons:  and  they  built  Da-vid 
an  house. 

12  And  Da-vid  perceived  that  the 
Loed  had  established  him  king 
over  IshA-el,  and  that  he  had  ex- 
alted his  kingdom  for  his  people 
Is-ra-el’s  sake. 

i3  U And  -^Da-vid  tjok  him  more 
concubines  and  wives  out  of  Je-ru- 
sa-lem,  after  he  was  come  from  He- 
brOii : and  there  were  yet  sons  and 
daughters  born  to  Da-vid. 

14  And  ^ these  he  the  names  of 
those  that  were  born  unto  him 
in  J6-ru-sa-lem ; ®Sham-mu-ah,  and 
Sho-bab,  and  Na-than,  and  Sbl-5- 
m5n, 

15  Ib-har  also,  and JEl-i-shu-a,and 
Ne-pheg,  and  Ja-phi-a, 

16  And  E-lish-a-ma,  and  ®E-h-a- 
da,  and  E-liph-a-let. 

17  IT  But  when  the  Phl-lis-tines 
heard  that  they  had  anointed  Da- 
vid king  over  Is-ra-el,  all  the  Phi- 
lis-tine?  came  up  to  seek  Da-vid ; 
and  Da-vid  heard  of  it^  *and  went 
down  to  the  hold. 

18  The  Phi-lis- tines  also  came  and 
spread  themselves  in  "“the  valley  of 
Reph-a-im. 

19  And  Da-vid  “enquired  of  the 
Loed,  saying.  Shall  I go  up  to  the 
Phi-lis-tinesl  wilt  thou  deliver 
them  into  mine  hand?  And  the 
Loed  said  unto  Da-vid,  Go  up : 
for  I will  doubtless  deliver  the 
Phi-lis-tines  into  thine  hand. 

20  And  Da-vid  came  to  ^Ba-al- 
p^r-a-zim,  and  Da-vid  smote  them 
there,  and  said.  The  Loed  hath 
broken  forth  upon  mine  enemies 
before  me,  as  the  breach  of  waters. 
Therefore  he  called  the  name  of 
that  place  ®Ba-al-pgr-a-zim. 

,21  And  there  they  left  their 
images,  and  Da-vid  and  his  men 
'‘burned’^  them. 

22  IT  * And  the  Phi-lis-tines  came 
up  yet  again,  and  spread  them- 
selves in  the  valley  of  R6ph-a-im. 
23  And  when  Da-vid  enquired  of 
the  Loed,  he  said.  Thou  slialt  not 
go  up ; but  fetch  a compass  behind 
them,  and  come  upon  them  over 
against  the  mulberry  trees.

CHAPTER  6. 

1 David  fetcheth  the  ark  from  Kirjath-jearim  on  a new 
cart.  % Uzzali  is  smitten  at  Per ez-uzzah.  9 God  blesseth 
Obed-edom  for  the  ark.  12  David  bringeth  the  ark  into 
Zion.  17  He  placeth  it  in  a tabernacle  with  great  joy 
and  feasting.  20  Michal  reproving  David  for  his  reli- 
gious joy  is  childless  to  her  death. 

yiGAIhT,  Da-vid  gathered  together 
all  the  chosen  men  of  Is-ra-el, 
thirty  thousand. 

2 And  ^Da-vid  arose,  and  went 
with  all  the  people  that  ivere  with 
him  from  ^Ba-al-e  of  Ju-dah,  to 
bring  up  from  thence  the  ark  of 
God,  ^ whose  name  is  called  by  the 
name  of  the  Loed  of  hosts  Hhat 
dwelleth  between  the  cher-6-bims. 

3 And  they  ®set  the  ark  of  God 
upon  a new  cart,  and  brought  it 
out  of  the  house  of  A-bin-a-dab 
that  was_  in  ®Gib-e-ah  : and  tJz-zah 
and  A-hi-6,  the  sons  of  A-bin-a-dab, 
drave  the  new  cart. 

4 And  they  brought  it  out  of  *the 
house  of  A-bin-a-dab  which  was  at 
Gib-e-ah,  ^accompanying  the  ark  of 
God : and  A-hi-6  went  before  the 
ark. 

5 And  Da-vid  and  all  the  house 
of  Is-ra-el  played  before  the  Loed 
on  all  manner  of  instruments  made 
of  fir  wood,  even  on  harps,  and  on 
psalteries,  and  on  timbrels,  and  on 
cornets,  and  on  cymbals. 

6 M And  when  they  came  to  “TSTa- 
chon’s  threshingfloor,  tTz-zah  put 
forth  his  hand  to  the  ark  of  God, 
and  took  hold  of  it;  for  the  oxen 

shook  it. 

7 And  the  anger  of  the  Loed  was 
kindled  against  tTz-zah;  and  ^God 
smote  him  there  for  his  ^ error ; and 
there  he  died  by  the  ark  of  God. 

> 8 And  Da-vid  was  displeased,  be- 
cause the  Loed  had  ^made  a breach 
upon  TTz-zah:  and  he  called  the 
name  of  the  place  ®Pe-rez-uz-zah 
to  this  day^ 

9 And  G3a-vid  was  afraid  of  the 
Loed  that  day,  and  said.  How  shall 
the  ark  of  the  Loed  come  to  me  % 

10  So  Da-vid  would  not  remove 
the  ark  of  the  Loed  unto  him  into 
the  city  of  Da-vid : but  Da-vid 
carried  it  aside  into  the  house  of 
0-b6d-e-d5ra  “the  Git-tite. 

1 1 *And  the  ark  of  the  Loed  con- 
tinued in  the  house  of  0-b6d-e-d5m 
the  Git-tite  tbxee  months ; and  the 


307 


Lord  “blessed  O-bed-e-dOm,  and  all 
his  household. 

12  U And  it  was  told  king  Da-vid, 
saying,  The  Loup  hath  blessed  the 
house  of  O-bed-e-dom,  and  all  that 
pertainetli  unto  him,  because  of  the 
ark  of  God.  ‘^So  Da-vid  went  and 
brought  up  the  ark  of  God  from 
the  house  of  0-bed-e-d6m  into  the 
city  of  Da-vid  with  gladness. 

13  And  it  was  so,  thad  when  ®they 
that  bare  the  ark  of  the  Lord  had 
gone  six  paces,  he  sacrificed  ■'^oxen 
and  fatlings. 

14  And  Da-vid  s' danced  before  the 
Lord  with  all  his  might ; and  Da-vid 
was  girded  ^ with  a linen  eph-od. 

15  "^So  Da-vid  and  all  the  house  of 
Is-ra-el  brought  up  the  ark  of  the 
Lord  with  shouting,  and  with  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet. 

16  And  "as  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
came  into  the  city  of  Da-vid,  Mi-ehal 
Saul’s  daughter  looked  Dirough  a 
window,  and  saw  king  Da-vid  leap- 
ing and  dancing  before  the  Lord  ; 
and  she  despised  him  in  her  heart. 

17  H And  nhey  brought  in  the  ark 
of  the  Lord,  and  set  it  in  "his  place, 
in  the  midst  of  the  tabernacle  that 
Da-vid  had  ^ pitched  for  it : and 
Da-vid  “offered  burnt  offerings  and 
peace  offerings  before  the  LoRD. 

18  And  as  soon  as  Da-vid  had 
made  an  end  of  offering  burnt 
offerings  and  peace  offerings,  ^he 
blessed  the  people  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

19  “And  he  dealt  among  all  the 
people,  even  among  the  whole  mul- 
titude of  IsAa-el,  as  well  to  the 
women  as  men,  to  every  one  a 
cake  of  bread,  and  a good  piece  of 
flesh,  and  a flagon  of  wine.  So  all 
the  people  departed  every  one  to 
his  house. 

20  ^ ‘^Then  Da-vid  returned  to 
bless  his  household.  And  Mi-chal 
the  daughter  of  Saul  came  out  to 
meet  Da-vid,  and  said^  How  glori- 
ous was  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  to  day, 
who  ^ uncovered  himself  to  day  in 
the  eyes  of  the  handmaids  of  his 
servants,  as  one  of  the  ^vain  fellows 
® shamelessly  uncovereth  himself ! 

21  And  Da-vid  said  unto  Mi'-ehal, 
It  was  before  the  Lord,  ^ which 
chose  me  before  thy  father,  and 
before  all  his  house,  to  appoint  me 
ruler  over  the  people  of  the  Lord, 
over  Is-ra-el : therefore  will  I play 
before  the  Lord. 

22  And  I will  yet  be  more  vile 
than  thus,_  and  will  be  base  in 
mine  own  sight : and  of  the  maid- 
servants which  thou  hast  spoken  of. 
of  them  shall  I be  had  in  honour.

CHAPTEE  7. 

1 Nathan  first  approving  the  purpose  of  David  to  build 
God  an  hou^e,  4 after  by  the  word  of  God  forbiddeth  him. 

12  He  promiseth  him  benefits  and  blessings  in  his  seed. 

18  David’s  prayer  and  thanksgiving. 

ND  it  came  to  pass,  ‘^when  the 
king  sat  in  his  house,  and  the 
Lord  had  given  him  rest  round 
about  from  all  his  enemies ; _ 

2 That  the  king  said  unto  Na-than 
the  prophet.  See  now,  I dwell  in 

an  house  of  cedar,  *but  the  ark  of 
God  dwelleth  within  * curtains.  _ 

3 And  Na-than  said  to  the  king. 
Go,  do  all  that  is  J“in  thine  heart ; 
for  the  Lord  is  with  thee. 

4 ^ And  it  came  to  pass  that  night, 
that  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  Na-than,  saying, 

5 Go  and  tell  ^ my  servant  Da-vid, 

Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Shalt  thou 
build  me  an  house  for  me  to  dwell 
in  1 , , . ! 

6 Whereas  I have  not  dwelt  in 
any  house  ^ since  the  time  that  I 
brought  up  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
out  of  E-gypt,  even  to  this  day,  but 
have  walked  in  *a  tent  and  in  a 
tabernacle. 

7 In  all  the  places  wherein  I have 
* walked  with  all  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el  spake  I a word  with  ^any 
of  the  tribes  of  Ish’a-el,  whom  I 
commanded  * to  feed  my  people 
Ish4-el,  saying.  Why  build  ye  not 
nie  an  house  of  cedar  ^ 

8 Now  therefore  so  shalt  thou  say 
unto  my  servant  Da-vid,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  took  thee 
from  the  sheepcote,  ^from  follow- 
ing the  sheep,  to  be  ruler  over  my 
people,  over  Is-ra-el ; 

9 And  "I  v/as  with  thee  whither- 
soever thou  wentest,  "and  have  cut 
off  all  thine  enemies  ^out  of  thy 
sight,  and  have  made  thee  a great 
name,  like  unto  the  name  of  the 
great  men  that  are  in  the  earth. 

10  Moreover  I will  appoint  a place 

for  my  people  IshA-el,  and  will 
'‘plant  them,  that  they  may  dwell 
in  a place  of  their  own,  and  move 
no  more ; * neither  shall  the  chil- 
dren of  wickedness  afflict  them  any 
more,  as  beforetime,  . , t 

11  And  as  'since  the  time  that  i 
commanded  judges  to  he  over  my 
people  Is-ra-el,  and  have  caused 
thee  to  rest  from  all  thine  enemies. 
Also  the  Lord  telleth  thee  ’“that  he 
will  make  thee  an  house. 

12  ^ And  “when  thy  days  be  tul- 
filled,  and  thou  "shalt  sleep  with 
thy  fathers,  will  set  up  thy  seed 


God's  promises  to  David,  II.  SAMUEL,  8.  David's  thanksgiving. 


after  thee,  which  shall  proceed  out 
of  thy  bowels,  and  I will  establish 
his  kingdom. 

13  “He  shall  build  an  house  for 
my  name,  and  I will  Establish  the 
throne  of  his  kingdom  for  ever. 

14  ‘’I  will  be  his  father,  and  he 
shall  be  my  son.  ‘^if  he  commit 
iniquity,  I will  chasten  him  with 
the  rod  of  men,  and  with  the 
stripes  of  the  children  of  men  : 

15  But  my  mercy  shall  not  de- 
part away  from  him,  '"as  I took  it 
from  Saul,  whom  I put  away  be- 
fore thee. 

16  And  ^ thine  house  and  thy  king- 
dom shall  be  established  for  ever 
before  thee:  thy  throne  shall  be 
established  for  ever. 

17  According  to  all  these  words, 
and  according  to  all  this  vision,  so 
did  Na-than  speak  unto  Da-vid. 

18  U Then  went  king  Da-vid  in, 
and  sat  before  the  Lord,  and  he 
said,  * Who  am  I,  O Lord  God  1 and 
what  is  my  house,  that  thou  hast 
brought  me  hitherto  % 

_ 1 9 And  this  was  yet  a small  thing 
in  thy  sight,  O Lord  God  ; but  thou 
hast  spoken  also  of  thy  servant’s 
house  for  a great  while  to  come. 
*And  is  this  the  manner  of  man, 
0 Lord  God"? 

20  And  what  can  DaWid  say  more 
unto  thee?  for  thou.  Lord  God, 
^knowest  thy  servant. 

21  For  thy  word’s  sake,  and  ac- 
cording to  thine  own  heart,  hast 
thou  done  all  these  great  things, 
to  make  thy  servant  know  them. 

22  Wherefore  ^thou  art  great,  O 
Lord  God : for  ^ there  is  none  like 
thee,  neither  is  there  any  God  be- 
side thee,  according  to  all  that  we 
have  heard  with  our  ears. 

23  And  *what  one  nation  in  the 
earth  is  like  thy  people,  even  like 
Is-ra-el,  whom  God  went  to  redeem 
for  a people  to  himself,  and  to 
make  him  a name,  and  to  do  for 
you  great  things  and  terrible,  for 
thy  land,  before  * thy  people,  which 
thou  redeemedst  to  thee  from  E- 
Kypt,  from  the  nations  and  their 
gods  % 

24  For  “thou  hast  confirmed  to 
thyself  thy  people  Is-ra-6l  to  he  a 
people  unto  thee  for  ever  : ^^and 
thou.  Lord,  art  become  their  God. 

25  And  now,  O Lord  God,  the 
word  that  thou  hast  spoken  con- 
cerning thy  servant,  and  concern- 
ing his  house,  establish  it  for  ever, 
and  do  as  thou  hast  said. 

26  And  let  thy  name  be  magnified 
tor  ev^,  saying  The  Lord  of  hosts 
%s  the  God  over  Is-ra-6l : and  let  the

CHAPTER  8. 

1 David  subdueth  the  Philistines  and  the  Moabites.  3 Re 
srniteth  Radadezer,  and  the  Syrians.  11  The  presents 
and  the  spoil  dedicated  to  God.  14  David  putteth  gar- 
risons in  Edom.  16  David's  officers. 

AND  after  this  it  came  to  pass, 
that  DaWid  smote  the  Phi-lis- 
tines,  and  subdued  them : and  Da- 
vid took  ^ Me-theg-am-mah  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis-tines. 

2 And  he  smote  Mo-ab,  and  mea- 
sured them  with  a line,  casting 
them  down  to  the  ground;  even 
with  two  lines  measured  he  to  ^ut 
to  death,  and  with  one  full  line 
to  keep  alive.  And  so  the  Mo-ab- 
ites  became  DaWid’s  servants,  a'-fid 
""brought  gifts. 

3 H DaWid  smote  also  ® Had-ad-e- 
zer,^  the  son  of  Re-h5b,  king  of 
"Zo-bah,  as  he  went  to  recover  “his 
border  at  the  river  Eu-phra-tes. 

4 And  DaWid  took  Hrom  Kim  a 
thousand  '^chariots,  and  seven  hun- 
dred horsemen,  and  twenty  thou- 
sand footmen : and  DaWid  "houghed 
all  the  chariot  horses,  but  reserved 
of  them  for  an  hundred  chariots. 

5 And  when  the  Syr-i-ans  of  Da- 
mas-ciis  came  to  succour  Had-ad- 
e-zer  king  of  Zo-bah,  DaWid  slew 
of  the  Syr4-ans  two  and  twenty 
thousand  men. 

6 Then  DaWid  put  garrisons  in 
Syr-i-a  of  Da-mas--eus  : and  the  Syr- 
i-ans  became  servants  to  DaWid, 
and  brought  gifts.  And  the  Lord 
preserved  DaWid  whithersoever  he 
went. 

7 And  DaWid  took  the  shields  of 
gold  that  were  on  the  servants  of 
Had-ad-e-zer,  and  brought  them  to 
JAru-sa-l6m. 

« And  from  ®Be-tah,  and  from 
^B6r-5-thai,  cities  of  Had-ad-e-zer, 
king  DaAid  took  exceeding  much 
brass.

10  Then  Toh  sent  “Jo-ram  his 
son  unto  king  Da-vid,  to  ^salute 
him,  and  to  bless  him,  because  he 
had  fought  against  Had-ad-e^zer, 
and  smitten  him : for  Had-ad-e-zer 
^had  wars  with  ToJ.  And  Jo-rdm 
^brought  with  him.  vessels  of  sil- 
ver, and  vessels  of  gold,  and  vessels 
of  lt)I*3jSS  * 

11  Which  also  king  Da-vid  ®did 

dedicate  unto  the  Lord,  with  the 
silver  and  gold  that  he  had  dedi- 
cated of  all  nations  v/hich  he  sub- 
dued; ^ 

12  Of  Syr-i-a,  and  of  Mo-ab,  and 
of  the  children  of  Am-m5n,  and  of 
the  Phi-lis-tines,  and  of  Am-a-lek, 
and  of  the  spoil  of  Had-ad-e-zer,  son 
of  Ee-hob,  king  of  Zo-bah. 

13  And  Da-vid  gat  inm  a name 
when  he  returned  from  ® smiting  of 
the  Syr4-ans  in  Hhe  valley  of  salt, 

^ being  eighteen  thousand  men. 

14  ^ And  he  put  garrisons  in 
E-d5m ; throughout  all  E-dom  put 
he  garrisons,  and  ^all  they  of  E-dom 
loecame  DaWid’s  servants.  And  the 
Lord  preserved  DaWid  whitherso- 
ever he  went. 

15  And  DaWid  reigned  over  all 
Is-ra-el;  and  DaWid  executed  judg- 
ment and  justice  unto  all  his  people. 

16  *And  Jo-ab  the  son  of  ZAru-iah

1 David  sendeth  for  Mephibosheth.  7 He  entertaineth  him 
at  his  table,  and  restoreth  him  all  that  was  Saul's.  9 He 
maketh  Ziba  his  farmer. 

AND  DaWid  said,  Is  there  yet  any 
that  is  left  of  the  house  of  Saul, 
that  I may  ’’shew  him  kindness  for 
J5n-a-than’s  sake'? 

2 And  there  was  of  the  house  of 
Saul  a servant  whose  name  was 
^Zi-ba.  And  when  they  had  called 
him  unto  DaWid,  the  king  said  unto 
him.  Art  thou  Zi-ba '?  And  he  said. 
Thy  servant  is  he. 

3 And  the  king  said.  Is  there  not 
yet  any  of  the  house  of  Saul,  that  I 
may  shew  ^the  kindness  of  God  unto 
him'?  And  Zi-ba  said  unto  the  king, 
JOn-a- than  hath  yet  a son,  which  is 
''lame  on  his  feet,

Where  is  he  1 And  Zi-ba  said  unto 

the  king.  Behold,  he  is  in  the  house 
of  ^MA-ehir,  the  son  of  Am-mi-el,  in 
Lo-de-bar. 

5 ^ Then  king  DaWid  sent,  and 
fetched  him  out  of  the  house  of 
MaRhir,  the  son  of  Am-mi-el,  from 
Lo-de-bar. 

6 Now  when  ^MAphib-6-sheth,  the 
son  of  J5n-a-than,  the  son  of  Saul, 
was  come  unto  DaWid,  he  fell  on 
his  face,  and  did  reverence.  And 
DaWid  said,  Me-phib-6-sheth.  And 
he  answered.  Behold  thy  servant ! 

7 H And  DaWid  said  unto  him. 
Fear  not:  ‘^for  I will  surely  shew 
thee  kindness  for  J5n-a-than  thy 
father’s  sake,  and  will  restore  thee 
all  the  land  of  Saul  thy  father; 
and  thou  shalt  eat  bread  at  my 
table  continually. 

8 And  he  bowed  himself,  and  said. 

What  is  thy  servant,  that  thou 
shouldest  look  upon  such  -^a  dead 
dog  as  I am?  . 

9 H Then  the  king  called  to  Zi-ba, 
Saul’s  servant,  and  said  unto  him, 
'H  have  given  unto  thy  master’s  son 
all  that  pertained  to  Saul  and  to 
all  his  house. 

10  Thou  therefore,  and  thy  sons, 
and  thy  servants,  shall  till  the  land 
for  him,  and  thou  shalt  bring  in 
the  fruits,  that  thy  master’s  son 
may  have  food  to  eat : but  Me-phib- 
6-sheth  thy  master’s  son  Rhall  eat 
bread  alway  at  my  table.  Now 
Zi-ba  had  ^fifteen  sons  and  twenty 

1 1 Then  said  Zi-ba  unto  the  king. 

According  to  all  that  my  lord  the 
king  hath  commanded  his  servant, 
so  shall  thy  servant  do.  As  for 
Me-phib-6-sheth,  said  the  king,  he 
shall  eat  at  my  table,  as  one  of  the 
king’s  sons.  ^ . , , , ,

young  son,  ®wnose  name  was  Mi- 
cha.  And  all  that  dwelt  in  the 
house  of  Zi-ba  were  servants  unto

13  So  Me-phib-6-sheth  dwelt  in

‘was  lame  on  both  his  feet.

5 When  they  told  it  unto  DaWid, 
he  sent  to  meet  them,  because  the 
men  were  greatly  ashamed : and 
the  king  said.  Tarry  at  Jer-i-eho 

' until  your  beards  be  grown,  and 

■ then  return. 

6 H And  when  the  children  of 
Am-m5n  saw  that  they  ^ stank  be- 
fore DaWid,  the  children  of  Am- 
m5n  sent  and  hired  ‘^the  Syr4-ans 
of  Beth-re-h5b,  and  the  Syr4-ans 
of  Zo-ba,  twenty  thousand  foot- 
men, and  of  king  Ma-a-«ah  a thou- 

: sand  men,  and  of  ^Ish'-t5b  twelve 

■ thousand  men. 

' 7 And  when  DaWid  heard  of  it,  he 
. sent  J o-ab,  and  all  the  host  of  ^ the 
mighty  men. 

8 And  the  children  of  Am-m5n 
, came  out,  and  put  the  battle  in 

array  at  the  entering  in  of  the 
I gate : and_^the  Syr-i-ans  of  Zo-ba, 
and  of  Re-h5b,  and  Ish-tob,  and 
Ma-a-^ah,  were  by  themselves  in 
the  field. 

9 When  J o-ab  saw  that  the  front 
of  the  battle  was  against  him  be- 
fore and  behind,  he  chose  of  all  the 

■ choice  men  of  Is-ra-el,  and  put  them 
in  array  against  the  Syr-i-ans: 

10  And  the  rest  of  the  people  he 
delivered  into  the  hand  of  A-bi-shai 
his  brother,  that  he  might  put  them 
in  array  against  the  children  of 
i Am-mon. 

11  And  he  said.  If  the  Syr-i-ans 
be  too  strong  for  me,  then  thou 
;shalt  help  me:  but  if  the  chil- 
dren of  Am-m5n  be  too  strong  for 
thee,  then  I will  come  and  help 
thee.

14  And  when  the  children  of  Am-

J o-ab  returned  from  the  children  of

that  they  were  smitten  before  Is-

16  And  Had-ar-e-zer  sent,  and 
brought  out  the  Syr-i-ans  that  were 
beyond  ^the  river : and  they  came 
to^Hedam;  and  ^Sho-ba-eh  the  cap- 
tain of  the  host  of  Had-ar-e-zer  went 
before  them. 

17  And  when  it  was  told  DaWid, 
he  gathered  all  Isda-el  together, 
and  passed  over  Jor-dan,  and  came 
to  Hedam.  ^ And  the  Syrd-ans  set 
themselves  in  array  against  DaWid, 
and  fought  with  him. 

18  And  the  Syrd-ans  fled  before 
Is-ra-el ; and  Da-vid  slew  the  men  of 
seven  hundred  chariots  of  the  Syr- 
i-ans,  and  forty  thousand  ‘’horse- 
men, and  smote  Sho-ba-eh  the  cap- 
tain of  their  host,  who  died  there. 

19  And  when  all  the  kings  that 
were  servants  to  Had-ar-e-zer  saw 
that  they  were  smitten^  before  Is- 
ra-el,  they  made  peace  with  Isda-el, 
and  ‘’served  them.  So  the  Syrd-ans 
feared  to  help  the  children  of  Am-

CHAPTER  11. 

1 While  Joah  hesiegeth  Dabbah,  David  committeth  adultery 
with  Bath-sheba.  14  Uriah  carrieth  to  Joah  the  letter  of 
his  death.  17  Uriah  is  slain.  26  David  taketh  Bath- 
sheba  to  wife. 

AND  it  came  to_  pass,  ®after  the 
XA_  year  was  expired,  at  the  time 
when  kings  go  forth  to  battle,  that 
Da-vid  sent  Jo-ab,  and  his  servants 
with  him.  and  all  Is-ra-el ; and  they 
destroyed  the  children  of  Am-mOn, 
and  besieged  Rab-bah.  But  Da-vid 
tarried  still  at  JAru-sa-lem. 

2 If  And  it  came  to  pass  in  an 
eveningtide,  that  DaVid  arose  from 
off  his  bed,  *and  walked  upon  the 
roof  of  the  king’s  house : and  from 
the  roof  he  *saw  a woman  washing 
herself;  and  the  woman  was  very 
beautiful  to  look  upon. 

3 And  Da-vid  sent  and  enquired 
after  the  woman.  And  one  said.  Is 
not  this  ®Bath-she-ba,  the  daughter 
of  '^E-li-am,  the  wife  ’^of  U-rl-ah  the 
Hit-tite  ? _ 

4 And  Da-vid  sent  messengers,  and 
took  her ; and  she  came  in  unto  him, 
and  -^he  lay  with  her  • ®for  she  was 
^purified  from  her  uncleanness : and 
she  returned  unto  her  house.

5 And  the  woman  conceived,  and 

«ent  and  told  DaVid,  and  said,  I avi 
with  child.  ^ , 

6 ^ And  DaMd  sent  to  Jo-ab,  say- 
ing, Send  me  U-ri-ah  the  Hit-tite. 
And  Jo-ab  sent  U-ri-ah  to  Da-vid. 

7 And  when  U-ri-ah  was  come 
unto  him,  Ua-vid  demanded  of  him 
^how  Jo-ab  did,  and  how  the  people 
did,  and  how  the  war  prospered. 

8 And  Da-vid  said  to  U-ri-ah,  Go 
down  to  th^  house,  and  ‘‘wash  thy 
feet.  And  tJ-rl-ah  departed  out  of 
the  king’s  house,  and  there  ‘‘^followed 
him  a mess  of  vieat  from  the  king. 

9 But  U-ri-ah  slept  at  the  door 

of  the  king’s  house  with  all  the 
servants  of  his  lord,  and  went  not 
down  to  his  house.  , , , , 

10  Andy/hen  they  had  told  Da-vid, 
saying,  U-ri-ah  went  not  down  unto 
his  house,  Da-vid  said  unto  U-ri-ah, 
Camest  thou  not  from  thy  journey  % 
why  then  didst  thou  not  go  down 
unto  thine  house  1 

11  And  U-ri-ah  said  unto  Da-vid, 
•^The  ark,  and  Is-ra-el,  and  Ju-dah, 
abide  in  tents  ; and  ®my  lord  Jo-ab, 
and  the  servants  of  my  lord,  are 
encamped  in  the  open  fields ; shall 
I then  go  into  mine  house,  to  eat 
and  to  drink,  and  to  lie  with  my 
wifel  as  thou  livest,  and  as  thy 
soul  liveth,  I will  not  do  this  thing. 

12  And  Da-vid  said  to  U-ri-ah, 

Tarry  here  to  day  also,  and  to  mor- 
row I will  let  thee  depart.  So  U-ri' 
ah  abode  in  Je-ru-sa-lem  that  day, 
and  the  morrow.  _ , , . , 

13  And  when  Da-vid  had  called 
him,  he  did  eat  and  drink  before 
him ; and  he  made  him  -^drunk  : and 
at  even  he  went  out  to  lie  on  his 
bed  ®'with  the  servants  of  his  lord, 
but  went  not  down  to  his  house. 

14  ^ And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  that  Da-vid  * wrote  a letter 
to  Jo-ab,  and  sent  it  by  the  hand  of 
U-ri-ah. 

15  And  he  wrote  in  the  letter,  say- 
ing, Set  ye  U-ri-ah  in  the  forefront 
of  the  ® hottest  battle,  and  retire  ye 
■^from  him,  that  he  may  *be  smitten, 
and  die. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  J o-ab 
observed  the  city,  that  he  assigned 
U-ri-ah  unto  a place  where  he  knew 
that  valiant  men  were. 

17  And  the  men  of  the  city  went 
out,  and  fought  with  J o-ab : and 
there  fell  some  of  the  people  of  the 
servants  of  DaHid  ; and  U-ri-ah  the 
Hit-tite  died  also. 

18  II  Then  Jo-ab  sent  and  told 
Da-vid  all  the  things  concerning 
the  war :

war  unto  the  king, 

20  And  if  so  be  that  the  king’s 

wrath  arise,  and  he  say  unto  thee. 
Wherefore  approached  ye  so  nigh 
unto  the  city  when  ye  did  fight? 
knew  ye  not  that  they  would  shoot 
from  the  wall  ? ^ , 

21  Who  smote  “A-bim-e-leeh  the 
son  of  *Je-rub-be-sheth?  did  not  a 
woman  cast  a piece  of  a m.illstone 
upon  him  from  the  wall,  that  he 
died  in  The-bez  ? why  went  ye  nigh 
the  wall  ? then  say  thou.  Thy  serv- 
ant U-ri-ah  the  Hit-tite  is  dead  also. 

22  ^ So  the  messenger  went,  and 
came  and  shewed  Da-vid  all  that 
Jo-ab  had  sent  him  for. 

23  And  the  messenger  said  unto 
Da-vid,  Surely  the  men  prevailed 
against  us,  and  came  out  unto  us 
into  the  field,  and  we  were  upon 
them  even  unto  the  entering  of  the 
gate. 

24  And  the  shooters  shot  from  oil 
the  wall  upon  thy  servants:  and 
some  of  the  king’s  servants  be  dead, 
and  thy  servant  U-ri-ah  the  Hit-tite 
is  dead  also. 

25  Then  Da-vid  said  unto  the  mes- 
senger, Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto 
Jo-ab,  Let  not  this  thing  ^displease 
thee,  for  the  sword  devoureth  mne 
as  well  as  another  : make  thy  battle 
more  strong  against  the  city,  and 
overthrow  it : and  encourage  thou 

26  ST  And  when  the  wife  of  U-ri-ah 
heard  that  U-ri-ah  her  husband  was 
dead,  she  mourned  for  her  husband. 

27  And  when  the  mourning  was 
past,  Da-vid  sent  and  fetched  her 
to  his  house,  and  she  ^became  his 
wife,  and  bare  him  a son.  But  the 
thing  that  Da-vid  had  done  dis- 
pleased  the  Lokd.

save  one  little  ewe  lamb,  which  he 
had  bought  and  nourished  up  : and

IL  SAMUEL,  12. 


David  confesseth  his  sin., 


4 And  there  came  a traveller  unto  B.c.  1034. 
the  rich  man,  and  he  spared  to  take  a^h.  13. 31. 
of  his  own  flock  and  of  his  own 

herd,  to  dress  for  the  wayfaring 
man  that  was  come  unto  him ; but 
took  the  poor  man’s  lamb,  and 
dressed  it  for  the  man  that  was 
come  to  him. 

5 And  Da-vid’s  anger  was  greatly 
kindled  against  the  man;  and  he 
said  to  Na-than,  As  the  Loed  liveth, 
the  man  that  hath  done  this  thing 


^ shall  surely  die : 

6 And  he  shall  restore  the  lamb 
^fourfold,  because  he  did  this  thing, 
and  because  he  had  no  pity. 

7 And  Ua-than  said  to  Da-vid, 
Thou  art  the  man.  ^ Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  I ‘'anointed 
thee  king  over  Is-ra-el,  and  I de- 
livered thee  out  of  the  hand  of  Saul ; 

8 And  I gave  thee  thy  master’s 
house,  and  thy  master’s  wives  into 
thy  bosom,  and  gave  thee  the  house 
of  Is-ra-el  and  of  Ju-dah ; and  if  that 
had  been  too  little,  I would  more- 
over have  given  unto  thee  such  and 
such  things. 

9 -^Wherefore  hast  thou  despised 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord,  to 
do  evil  in  his  sight'?  *thou  hast 
killed  U-ri-ah  the  Hit-tite  with  the 
sword,  and  hast  taken  his  wife  to 
be  thy  wife,  and  hast  slain  him 
with  the  sword  of  the  children  of 
Am-mOn. 

10  Now  therefore  *the  sword  shall 
never  depart  from  thine  house  ; be- 
cause thou  hast  despised  me.  and 
hast  taken  the  wife  of  U-n-ah  the 
Hit-tite  to  be  thy  wife. 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I 
will  raise  up  evil  against  thee  out  of 
thine  own  house,  and  I will  ' take 
thy  wives  before  thine  eyes,  and 
give  them  unto  thy  neighbour,  and 
he  shall  lie  with  thy  wives  in  the 
sight  of  this  sun. 

12  For  thou  didst  it  secretly : ’'but 
I will  do  this  thing  before  all  Is- 
ra-el,  and  before  the  sun. 

1 3 ^ And  Da-vid  said  unto  Na-than, 
’’I  have  sinned  against  the  Lord. 
And  Na-than  said  unto  Da-vid,  The 
Lord  also  hath  *put  away  thy  sin ; 
thou  shalt  not  die. 

14  Howbeit,  because  by  this  deed 
thou  hast  given  great  occasion  to 
the  enemies  of  the  Lord  ''to  blas- 
pheme, the  child  also  that  is  born 
unto  thee  shall  surely  die. 

15  H And  Na-than  d^arted  unto 
his  house.  And  the  Lord  struck 
the  child  that  tT-ri'ah’s  wife  bare 
unto  Da-vid,  and  it  was  very  sick. 

16  Da-vid  therefore  besought  God 
for  the  child ; and  Da-vid  ^fasted,

and  went  in,  and  “lay  all  night 
upon  the  earth. 

17  And  the  elders  of  his  house 
arose,  and  went  to  him,  to  raise 
him  up  from  the  earth : but  he 
would  not,  neither  did  he  eat  bread 
with  them. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
seventh  day,  that  the  child  died. 
And  the  servants  of  Da-vid  feared 
to  tell  him  that  the  child  was  dead : 
for  they  said.  Behold,  while  the 
child  was  yet  alive,  we  spake  unto 
him,  and  he  would  not  hearken 
unto  our  voice : how  will  he  then 
^vex  himself,  if  v/e  tell  him  that 
the  child  is  deadj 

19  But  vdien  Da-vid  saw  that  his 
servants  whispered,  Da-vid  per- 
ceived that  the  child  was  dead: 
therefore  Da-vid  said  unto  his  serv- 
ants, Is  the  child  dead  % And  they 
said.  He  is  dead. 

20  Then  Da-vid  arose  from  the 
earth,  and  washed,  and  ‘^anointed 
himsdf,  and  changed  his  apparel, 
and  came  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  ® worshipped : then  he 
came  to  his  own  house ; and  when 
he  required,  they  set  bread  before 
him,  and  he  did  eat. 

2 1 Then  said  his  servants  unto  him. 
What  thing  is  this  that  thou  hast 
done '?  thou  didst  fast  and  weep  for 
the  child,  while  it  was  alive;  but 
when  the  child  was  dead,  thou  didst 
rise  and  eat  bread. 

22  And  he  said.  While  the  child 
was  yet  alive,  I fasted  and  wept: 
’‘'for  1 said.  Who  can  tell  whether 
God  will  be  gracious  to  me,  that 
the  child  m^ay  live'? 

23  But  now  he  is  dead,  wherefore 
should  I fast  % can  I bring  him  back 
again  *?  I shall  go  to  him,  but  he 
shall  not  return  to  me. 

24  U And  Da-vid  comforted  Bath- 
she-ba  his  wife,  and  went  in  unto 
her,  and  lay  with  her  : and  “she  bare 
a son,  and  ^he  called  his  name  Sol- 
q-mCn  : and  the  Lord  loved  him. 

25  And  he  sent  by  the  hand  of 
Na-than  the  prophet ; and  he  called 
his  name  Jed-i-di-ah,  because  of 
the  Lord. 

26  ^ And  ^Jo-ab  fought  against 
“Kab-bah  of  the  children  of  Am-

27  And  Jd-ab  sent  messengers  to 
Da-vid,  and  said,  I have  fought 
against  Rab-bah,  and  have  taken 
the  city  of  waters. 

28  Now  therefore  gather  the  rest 
of  the  people  together,  and  encamp 
against  the  city,  and  take  it : lest  I 
take  the  city,  and  ^it  be  called  after 
my  name.

29  And  Da-vid  gathered  all  the  peo-  b.c.  1032. 
pie  together,  and  went  to  Rab-bah, 
and  fought  against  it,  and  took  it. 

30  "And  he  took  their  king’s  crown  “i  chr.  20. 2

31  And  he  brought  forth  the  peo- 
ple that  were  therein,  and  put  them 
under  saws,  and  under  harrows  of 
iron,  and  under  axes  of  iron,  and 
made  them  pass  through  the  brick- 
kiln : and  thus  did  he  unto  all  the 
cities  of  the  children  of  Am-m5n. 

So  Da-vid  and  all  the  people  re- 
turned unto  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

CHAPTER  13. 

1 Amnon,  loving  Tamar,  feigneth  himself  sick,  and  ravish- 
eth  her.  19  Absalom  entertaineth  her.  28  Ee  killeth 
Amnon,  and  Jleeth  to  Talmai. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  this, 

^that  Ab-sa-l5m  the  son  of  Da- 
vid had  a fair  sister,  whose  name 
was  '"Ta-mar ; and  Am-n5n  the  son 
of  DaAid  loved  her. 

2 And  Am-n5n  was  so  vexed,  that 
he  fell  sick  for  his  sister  Ta-mar ; 
for  she  was  a virgin  ; and  ® Am-nOn 
thought  it  hard  for  him  to  do  any 
thing  to  her. 

3 But  Am-n6n  had  a friend,  whose 
name  was  J^3n-a-dab,  *the  son  of 
Shim-e-ah  DaAid’s  brother : and 
J5n-a-dab  was  a very  subtil  man. 

4 And  he  _ said  unto  him.  Why 
art  thou,  being  the  king’s  son,  ®lean 
■^from  day  to  day'?  wilt  thou  not 
tell  me'?  And  Am-ndn  said  unto 
him,  I love  Ta-mar,  my  brother 
Ab-sa-ldm’s  sister. 

5 And  J6n-a-dab  said  unto  him. 

Lay  thee  down  on  thy  bed,  and  make 
thyself  sick : and  when  thy  father 
cometh  to  see  thee,  say  unto  him,  I 
pray  thee,  let  my  sister  Ta-mar  come, 
and  give  me  meat,  and  dress  the 
meat  in  my  sight,  that  I may  see 
it,  and  eat  it  at  her  hand. 

6 U So  Am-ndn  lay  down,  and 
made  himself  sick : and  when  the 
king  was  come  to  see  him,  Am-n6n 
said  unto  the  king,  I pray  thee,  let 
Ta-mar  my  sister  come,  and  "make 
me  a couple  of  cakes  in  my  sight, 
that  I may  eat  at  her  hand. 

7 Then  Da-vid  sent  home  to  Ta- 
mar, saying.  Go  now  to  thy  brother 
Am-n5n’s  house,  and  dress  him 
meat. 

8 So  Ta-mar  went  to  her  brother 
Am-ndn’s  house ; and  he  was  laid 
down.  And  she  took  ^ flour,  and 
kneaded  it,  and  made  cakes  in  his 
sight,  and  did  bake  the  cakes.

9 And  she  took  a pan,  and  poured 
them  out  before  him ; but  he  re- 
fused to  eat.  And  Am-ndn  said, 
*Have  out  all  men  from  me.  And 
they  went  out  every  man  frorn  him. 

10  And  Am-ndn  said  unto  Ta-mar, 
Bring  the  meat  into  the  chamber, 
that  I may  eat  of  thine  hand.  And 
Ta-mar  took  the  cakes  which  she 
had  made,  and  brought  them  into  the 
chamber  to  Am-ndn  her  brother. 

11  And  when  she  had  brought 
them  unto  him  to  eat,  he  "took  hold 
of  her,  and  said  unto  her.  Come  lie 
with  me,  my  sister. 

12  And  she  answered  him.  Nay, 
my  brother,  do  not  force  me;  for 

no  ^ such  thing  ought  to  be  done 
in  IsAa-el : do  not  thou  this  "folly. 

13  And  I,  whither  shall  I cause 
my  shame  to  go”?  and  as  for  thee, 
thou  shalt  be  as  one  of  the  fools 
in  Is-ra-el.  Now  therefore,  I pray 
thee,  speak  unto  the  king ; -^for  he 
will  not  withhold  me  from  thee. 

14  Howbeit  he  would  not  hearken 
unto  her  voice : but,  being  stronger 
than  she,  'forced  her,  and  lay  with 
her. 

15  ^ Then  Am-ndn  hated  her  ^ex- 
ceedingly ; so  that  the  hatred  where- 
with he  hated  her  was  greater  than 
the  love  wherewith  he  had  loved 
her.  And  Am-ndn  said  unto  her, 
Arise,  be  gone. 

16  And  she  said  unto  him.  There 
is  no  cause : this  evil  in  sending  me 
away  is  greater  than  the  other  that 
thou  didst  unto  me.  But  he  would 
not  hearken  unto  her. 

1 7 Then  he  called  his  servant  that 
ministered  unto  him,  and  said.  Put 
now  this  woman  out  from  me,  and 
bolt  the  door  after  her. 

1 8 And  she  had  ^ a garment  ^ of 
divers  colours  upon  her:  for  with 
such  robes  were  the  king’s  daugh- 
ters that  were  virgins  apparelled. 
Then  his  servant  brought  her  out, 
and  bolted  the  door  after  her. 

19  ^ And  Ta-mar  put  ashes  on 
her  head,  and  rent  her  garment  of 
divers  colours  that  was  on  her,  and 
"laid  her  hand  on  her  head,  and 
went  on  crying. 

20  And  Ab-sa-l5m  her  brother  said 
unto  her.  Hath  ®Am-n5n  thy  brother 
been  with  thee  % but  hold  now  thy 
peace,  my  sister : he  is  thy  brother ; 
^regard  not  this  thing.  So  Tabnar 
remained  Mesolate  in  her  brother 
Ab-sa-ldm’s  bouse. 

2 1 U But  when  king  Da-vid  heard  of 
all  these  things,  he  was  very  wroth. 

22  And  Ab-sa-ldm  spake  unto  his 
brother  Am-nOn  ^neither  good  nor 
bad : for  Ab-sa-l5m  hated  Am-nOn, 


A mnon  is  slain.

23  ^ And  it  came  to  pass  after 
two  full  years,  that  Ab-sa-lom  "had 
sheepshearers  inBa-al-ha-z6r,  which 
is  beside  E-phra-im : and  Ab-sa-lOm 
invited  all  the  king’s  sons. 

24  And  Ab-sa-l(3m  came  to  the 
king,  and  said.  Behold  now,  thy 
servant  hath  sheepshearers;  let  the 
king,  I beseech  thee,  and  his  serv- 
ants go  with  thy  servant. 

25  And  the  king  said  to  Ab-sa-l5m, 
Nay,  my  son,  let  us  not  all  now  go, 
lest  we  be  chargeable  unto  thee. 
And  he  pressed  him : howbeit  he 
would  not  go,  but  blessed  him. 

26  Then  said  Ab-sa-l6m,  If  not,  I 
pray  thee,  let  my  brother  Am-n6n 
go  with  us.  And  the  king  said  unto 
him.  Why  should  he  go  with  thee  1 

27  But  Ab-sa-l5m  pressed  him, 
that  he  let  Am^nOn  and  all  the 
king’s  sons  go  with  him. 

28  H Now  Ab^a-lbm  had  com- 
manded his  servants,  saying,  Mark 
ye  now  when^  Am-n5n’s  heart  is 
merry  with  wine,  and  when  I say 
unto  you.  Smite  Am-n5n  ; then  kill 
him,  fear  not:  ®have  not  I com- 
manded yen'?  be  courageous,  and 
be  ® valiant. 

29  And  the  servants  of  Ab-sa-l5m 
did  unto  Am-n6n  as  Ab-sa-lc3m^  had 
commanded.  Then  all  the  king’s 
sons  arose,  and  every  man  "^gat  him 
up  upon  his  mule,  and  fled. 

30  tI  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
they  were  in  the  way,  that  tidings 
came  to  Da-vid,  saying,  Ab-sa-l6m 
hath  slain  all  the  king’s  sons,  and 
there  is  not  one  of  them  left. 

31  Then  the  king  arose,  and”" tare 
his  garments,  and  ”lay  on  the  earth ; 
and  all  his  servants  stood  by  with 
their  clothes  rent.

that,  behold,  the  king’s  sons  came, 
and  lifted  up  their  voice  and  wept : 
and  the  king  also  and  all  his  serv-

to  ®Tal-mai,  the  son  of  ^ Am-mi-

CHAPTEB  14. 

1 Joab,  suborning  a widow  of  Tekoah  to  incline  the  king's 

heart  to  fetch  home  Absalom,  bringeth  him  to  Jerusalem. 

33  He  is  brought  before  the  king, 

lyrOW  Jo-ab  the  son  of  Ze-rudah 
ly  perceived  that  the  king’s  heart 
was  ® toward  Ab-sa-l5m. 

2 And  Jo-ab  sent  to  ^'Te-ko-ah,  and 
fetched  thence  a wise  woman,  and 
said  unto  her,  I pray  thee,  feign 
thyself  to  be  a mourner,  '"and  put 
on  now  mourning  apparel,  and  a- 
noint  not  thyself  with  oil,  but  be 
as  a woman  that'  had  a long  time 
mourned  for  the  dead : 

3 And  come  to  the  king,  and  speak 
on  this  manner  unto  him.  So  J o-ab 
"put  the  words  in  her  mouth. 

4 H And  when  the  woman  of  Te- 
ko-ah  spake  to  the  king,  she  *fell 
on  her  face  to  the  ground,  and 
did  obeisance,  and  said,  'Help,  ® O 
king. 

5 And  the  king  said  unto  her. 
What  aileth  thee'?  And  she  an- 
swered, " I am  indeed  a widow 
woman,  and  mine  husband  is  dead. 

6 And  thy  handmaid  had  two  sons, 
and  they  two  strove  together  in  the 
fleld,  and  there  was  ^none  to  part 
them,  but  the  one  smote  the  other, 
and  slew  him. 

7 And,  behold,  Hhe  whole  family  is 
risen  against  thine  handmaid,  and 
they  said.  Deliver  him  that  smote 
his  brother,  that  we  may  kill  him, 
for  the  life  of  his  brother  whom  he 
slew ; and  we  will  destroy  the  heir 
also:  and  so  they  shall  quench  my 
coal  which  is  left,  and  _ shall  not 
leave  to  my  husband  neither  name 
nor  remainder  ^upon  the  earth. 

8 And  the  king  said  unto  the  wo- 
rnan.  Go  to  thine  house,  and  I will 
give  charge  concerning  thee. 

9 And  the  woman  of  Te-ko-ah  said 
unto  the  king.  My  lord,  O king,  'the 
iniquity  be  on  me,  and  on  my  fa- 


Absalom  brought  II.  SAMUEL,  14. home  to  Jerusalem. 


ther’s  house : “and  the  king  and  his 
throne  be  guiltless. 

10  And  the  king  said,  Whosoever 
saith  ought  unto  thee,  bring  him  ' 
to  me,  and  he  shall  not  touch  thee 
any  more. 

1 1 Then  said  she,  I pray  thee,  let 
the  king  remember  the  Loed  thy 
God,  Hhat  thou  wouldest  not  suffer 
®the  revengers  of  blood  to  destroy 
any  more,  lest  they  destroy  my  son. 
And  he  said,  '^As  the  Loed  liveth, 
there  shall  not  one  hair  of  thy  son 
fall  to  the  earth. 

1 2 Then  the  woman  said.  Let  thine 
handmaid,  I pray  thee,  speak  one 
word  unto  my  lord  the  king.  And 
he  said.  Say  on. 

13  And  the  woman  said.  Where- 
fore then  hast  thou  thought  such  a 
thing  against  -^the  people  of  God'? 
for  the  king  doth  speak  this  thing 
as  one  which  is  faulty,  in  that  the 
king  doth  not  fetch  home  again 
^his  banished. 

14  For  we  *must  needs  die,  and 
are  as  water  spilt  on  the  ground, 
which  cannot  be  gathered  up  again ; 

® neither  doth  God  respect  any  per- 
son: jret  doth  he  Revise  means, 
that  his  banished  be  not  expelled 
from  him. 

15  Now  therefore  that  I am  come 
to  speak  of  this  thing  unto  my  lord 
the  king,  it  is  because  the  people 
have  made  me  afraid : and  thy  hand- 
maid said,  I will  now  speak  unto 
the  king ; it  may  be  that  the  king 
will  perform  the  request  of  his 
handmaid. 

16  For  the  king  will  hear,  to  de- 

liver his  handmaid  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  man  that  would  destroy  me 
and  my  son  together  out  of  the  in- 
heritance of  God.  . 1 rm 

1 7 Then  thine  handraaid  said.  The 
word  of  my  lord  the  king  shall  now 
be  ® comfortable : for  "as  an  angel  of 
God,  so  is  my  lord  the  king  "^to  dis- 
cern good  and  bad : therefore  the 
Loed  thy  God  will  be  with  thee. 

18  Then  the  king  answered  and 
said  unto  the  woman.  Hide  not  from 
me,  I pray  thee,  the  thing  that  I 
shall  ask  thee.  And  the  woman 
said.  Let  my  lord  the  king  now 
speak. 

1 9 And  the  king  said.  Is  not  the 
hand  of  Jo-ab  with  thee  in  all  this  1 
And  the  woman  answered  and  said, 
As  thy  soul  liveth,  my  lord  the 
king,  none  can  turn  to  the  right 
hand  or  to  the  left  from  ought  that 
my  lord  the  king  hath  spoken  : for 
thy  servamt  Jo-ab,  he  bade  me,  and 
^’he  put  all  these  words  in  the  mouth 
of  thine  handmaid :

20  To  fetch  about  this  form  of

of  God,  to  know  all  things  that  are

21  H And  the  king  said  unto  J o-ab.

Ge-shiir,  and  brought  Ab-sa-l5m  to 
JAru-sa-lem. 

24  And  the  king  said.  Let  him  turn 
to  his  own  house,  and  let  him  ^not 
see  my  face.  So  Ab-sa-l6m  returned 
to  his  own  house,  and  saw  not  the 
king’s  face. 

25  ^ ‘‘But  in  all  Is-ra-el  tnere  was 
none  to  be  so  much  praised  as  Ab- 
sa-lhm  for  his  beauty  : *from  the^sole 
of  his  foot  even  to  the  crovm  of  his 
head  there  was  no  blemish  in  him. 

26  And  when  he  polled  his  head, 
(for  it  was  at  every  year’s  end  that 
he  polled  it:  because  the  hair  was 
heavy  on  him,  therefore  he  polled 
it :)  he  weighed  the  hair  of  his  head 
at  two  hundred  shek-els  after  the 
king’s  weight.  ^ 

27  And  ""unto  Ab-sa-l5m  there  were 
born  three  sons,  and  one  daughter, 
whose  name  was  Ta-mar : she  was 
a woman  of  a fair  countenance. 

28  ^ So  Ab-sadom  dwelt  two  full 
years  in  Jc-ru-sa-lem,  ^and  saw  not 
the  king’s  face.  ^ 

29  Therefore  Ab-sa-l5m  sent  tor 
Jo-ab,  to  have  sent  him  to  the  king; 
but  he  would  not  come  to  him : 
and  when  he  sent  again  the  second 
time,  he  would  not  come. 

30  Therefore  he  said  unto  his 
servants,  See,  Jo-ab’s  field  is  ®near 
mine,  and  he  hath  barley  there ; go 
and  set  it  on  fire.  And  Ab-sa-l5m  s 
servants  set  the  field  on  fire. 

31  Then  Jo-ab  arose,  and  came  to 

Ab-sa-lom  unto  his  house,  and  said 
unto  him,  Wherefore  have  thy  serv- 
ants set  my  field  on  fire  *?  ^ .r-r  1 

32  And  Ab-sa-l5m  answered  Jo-ab, 
Behold,  I sent  unto  thee,  saying. 
Come  hither,  that  I may  send  thee 
to  the  king,  to  say.  Wherefore  am 
I come  from  Ge-shur'?  it  had  been 
good  for  me  to  have  been  there  still : 
now  therefore  let  me  see  the  king’s 
face;  and  if  there  be  any  iniquity 
I in  me,  let  him  kill  me.

Absalom^ s conspiracy.  II.  SAMUEL,  15.  David  fleeth  from  him. 


33  So  Jo-ab  came  to  the  king,  and 
told  him : and  when  he  had  called 
for  Ab-sa-l5m,  he  came  to  the  king, 
and  bowed  himself  on  his  face  to 
the  ground  before  the  king:  and 
the  king  ‘'kissed  Ab-sa-lOm. 

CHAPTER  15. 

1.  Absalom,  by  fair  speeches  and  couHesies,  stealeth  the 

hearts  of  Israel.  10  lie  maketh  a great  consinracy.  13 

David  fleeth  frwn  Jerusalem.  24  Zadok  and  Abiathar 

are  sent  back  with  the  ark. 

AND  -^it  came  to  pass  after  this, 
that  Ab-sa-lom  ^prepared  him 
chariots  and  horses,  and  fifty  men 
to  run  before  him. 

2 And  Ab-sa-lOm  rose  up  early, 
and  stood  beside  the  way  of  the 
gate  : and  it  was  so,  that  when  any 
man  that  had  a controversy  ‘“^came 
to  the  king  for  judgment,  then  Ab- 
sa-l5m  called  unto  him,  and  said. 
Of  what  city  art  thoul  And  he 
said.  Thy  servant  is  of  one  of  the 
tribes  of  IsAa-6l. 

3 And  Ab-sa-l6m  said  unto  him. 
See,  thy  matters  are  good  ana 
right ; but  ^ there  is  no  man  deputed 
of  the  king  to  hear  thee. 

4 Ab-sa-lom  said  moreover,  *Oh 
that  I were  made  judge  in  the  land, 
that  every  man  which  hath  any 
suit  or  cause  might  come  unto  me, 
and  I would  do  him  justice  ! 

5 And  it  was  so,  that  when  any 
man  came  nigh  to  him  to  do  him 
obeisance,  he  put  forth  his  hand, 
and  took  him,  and  kissed  him. 

6 And  on  this  manner  did  Ab- 
sa-l5m  to  all  IsAa-6l  that  came  to 
the  king  for  judgment : ”so  Ab- 
sa-l5m  stole  the  hearts  of  the  men 
of  IsAa-el. 

7 If  And  it  came  to  pass  ^ after  forty 
years,  that  Ab-sa-l5m  said  unto  the 
king,  I pray  thee,  let  me  go  and  pay 
my  vow,  which  l have  vowed  unto 
the  Lord,  in  He-brOn. 

8 ’’For  thy  servant  ‘’vowed  a vow 
‘while  I abode  at  Ge-shur  in  Syr-i-a, 
saying.  If  the  Lord  shall  bring  me 
again  indeed  to  J6-ru-sa-l6m,  then 
1 will  serve  the  Lord. 

9 And  the  king  said  unto  him.  Go 
in  peace.  So  he  arose,  and  went  to 
He-br(5n. 

10  ^ But  Ab-sa-lom  sent  spies 
! throughout  all  the  tribes  of  IsAa-el, 

; saying.  As  soon  as  ye  hear  the  sound 
; of  the  trumpet,  then  ye  shall  say, 
Ab-sa-lom  reigneth  in  He-brOn. 

1 1 And  with  Ab-sa-l5m  went  two 
hundred  men  out  of  JAru-sa-l6m, 
timt  /called ; and  they  went 
'in  their  simplicity,  and  they  knew 
not  any  thing.

‘'Gi-loh,  yvhile  he  offered  sacrifices. 
And  the  conspiracy  was  strong  ; for 
the  people  * increased  continually 
with  Ab-sa-l5m. 

13  ^ And  there  came  a messenger 
to  Da  Aid,  saying, ‘‘The  hearts  of  the 
men  of  IsA-a_-el  are  after  Ab-sa-lOm. 

14  And  DaAid  said  unto  all  his 
servants  tYiat  were  with  him  at  Je- 
ruAa-lem,  Arise,  and  let  us  ^flee; 
for  we  shall  not  else  escape  from 
Ab-sa-l5m : make  speed  to  depai-t, 
lest  he  overtake  us  suddenly,  and 
^ bring  evil  upon  us,  and  smite  the 
city  with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

15  And  the  king’s  servants  said 
unto  the  king.  Behold,  thy  servants 
are  ready  to  do  whatsoever  my  lord 
the  king  shall  ^appoint. 

16  And  ‘'the  king  went  forth,  and 
all  his  household  ‘‘after  him.  And 
the  king  left  Hen  women,  which 
were  concubines,  to  keep  the  house. 

17  And  the  king  yyent  forth,  and 
all  the  people  after  him,  and  tarried 
in  a place  that  was  far  off. 

18  And  all  his  servants  passed  on 
beside  him ; ‘ and  all  the  -Gher-e- 
thites,  and  all  the  Pel-e-thites,  and 
all  the  GitHites,  six  hundred  men 
which  came  after  him  from  Gath, 
passed  on  before  the  king. 

19  ^ Then  said  the  king  to  ’’'It-tai 
the  Git-tite,  Wherefore  goest  thou 
also  with  US  '?  return  to  thy  place, 
and  abide  v/ith  the  king : for  thou 
art  a stranger,  and  also  an  exile. 

20  Whereas  thou  earnest  hut  yes- 
terday, should  I this  day  ‘’make  thee 
go  up  and  down  with  us '?  seeing  I 
go  ‘’whither  I may,  return  thou,  and 
take  back  thy  brethren : mercy  and 
truth  he  with  thee. 

2 1 And  ItHai  answered  the  king, 
and  said,  ^As  the  Lord  liveth,  and 
as  my  lord  the  king  liveth,  surely 
in  what  place  my  lord  the  king  shall 
be,  whether  in  death  or  life,  even 
there  also  v/ill  thy  servant  be. 

22  And  DaAid  said  to  ItHai,  Go 
and  pass  over.  And  It-tai  the  Git- 
tite  passed  over,  and  all  his  men  and 
all  the  little  ones  that  were  v/ith  him. 

23  And  all  the  country  wept  with 
a loud  voice,  and  all  the  people 
passed  over : the  king  also  himself 
passed  over  the  brook  ^KidAOn,  and 
all  the  people  passed  over,  toward 
the  way  of  the  ’'wilderness. 

24  H And  lo  Zahlok  also,  and  all 
the  LeAites  were  with  him,  bear- 
ing the  ark  of  the  covenant  of 
God : and  they  set  down  the  ark 
of  God ; and  A-biA-thar  went  up, 
until  all  the  people  had  done  pass- 
ing out  of  the  city.

25  And  the  king  said  unto  Za-d5k, 

Carry  back  the  ark  of  God  into  the 
city:  if  I shall  find  favour  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord,  he  ^will  bring  me 
again,  and  shew  me  both  it,  and  his 
habitation : 

26  But  if  he  thus  say,  I have  no 

‘^delight  in  thee ; behold,  here  am  I, 
■'^let  him  do  to  me  as  seemeth  good 
unto  him.  ^ 

27  The  king  said  also  unto  Za-dDk 

the  priest,  Art  not  thou  a ^'seer? 
return  into  the  city  in  peace,^  and 
'^your  two  sons  with  you,  A-him-a-

of  A-bl-a-thar.  . 

28  See,  G will  tarry  in  the  plain 
of  the  wilderness,  until  there  come 
word  from  you  to  certify  me. 

29  Za-dOk  therefore  and  A-bi-a- 
thar  carried  the  ark  of  God  again 
to  Je-ru-sa-lem:  and  they  tarried 

30  II  And  Da-vid  went  up  by  the 
ascent  of  mount  01-i-vet,  ^and  wept 
as  he  went  up,  and  ”"had  his  head 
covered,  and  he  went  ” barefoot : 
and  all  the  people  that  was  with 
him  " covered  every  man  his  head, 
and  they  went  up,  ^weeping  as  they 
went  up. 

31  H And  one  told  Da-vid,  saying, 
»‘A-hith-5-ph6l  is  among  the  con- 
spirators with  Ab-sa-l6m.  And 
Da-vid  said,  O Lord,  I pray  thee 
*turn  the  counsel  of  A-hith-5-phel 
into  foolishness. 

32  ^ And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  Da-vid  was  come  to  the  top 
of  the  mount,  where_  he  worshipped 
God,  behold,  Hu^shai  the  *"Ar-ehite 
came  to  meet  him  *with  his  coat 
rent,  and  earth  upon  his  head  : 

33  Unto  whom  Da-vid  said.  If  thou 

Eassest  on  with  me,  then  thou  shalt 
e ^'a  burden  unto  me  : 

34  But  if  thou  return  to  the  city, 
and  say  unto  Ab-sa-l6m,  will  be 
thy  servant,  O king ; as  I have  been 
thy  father’s  servant  hitherto,  so  will 
I now  also  be  thy  servant;  then 
mayest  thou  for  me  defeat  the  coun- 
sel of  A-hith-6-phel.

thee  Za-d5k  and  A-bi-a-thar  the 
priests'?  therefore  it  shall  be,  that 
what  thing  soever  thou  shalt  hear 
out  of  the  king’s  house,  ‘^thou  shalt

them  their  two  sons,  A-him-a-az

yi  ND  ‘'when  Da-vid  was  a little  past 
the  top  of  the  hill,  behold,  ®Zi-ba 
the  servant  of  Me-phib-6-sheth  met 
him,  with  a couple  of  asses  saddled, 
and  upon  them  two  hundred  loaves 
of  bread,  and  an  hundred  bunches 
of  raisins,  and  an  hundred  of  sum- 
mer fruits,  and  a bottle  of  wine. 

2 And  the  king  said  unto  Zi-ba, 
What  meanest  thou  by  these '?  And 
Zi-ba  said.  The  asses  be  for  the  king’s 
household  to  ride  on ; and  the  bread 
and  summer  fruit  for  the  young 
men  to  eat ; and  the  wine,  * that 
such  as  be  faint  in  the  wilderness 
may  drink. 

3 And  the  king  said.  And  where 
7s  thy  master’s  son'?  ^ And  Zi-ba  said 
unto  the  king.  Behold,  he  abideth 
at  J e-ru-sa-lem : for  he  said.  To  day 
shall  the  house  of  Is-ra-el  restore  me 
the  kingdom  of  my  father. 

4 ^Then  said  the  king  to  Zfiba, 
Behold,  thine  are  all  that  pertained 
unto  Me-phib-6-sheth.  And  Zi-ba 
said,  humbly  beseech  thee  that 
I may  find  grace  in  thy  sight,  my

5 II  And  when  king  Da-vid  came 
to  Ba-hu-rim,  behold,  thence  came 
out  a man  of  the  family  of  the  house 
of  Saul,  whose  name  was  ^Shim-e-i, 
the  son  of  .GeJ-ra:  ®he  came  forth, 
and  cursed  still  as  he  came.

at  all  the  servants  of  king  Da-vid : 
and  all  the  people  and  all  the  mighty 
men  ivere  on  his  right  hand  and  on

cursed,  Come  out,  come  out,  thou

thee  all  ‘'the  blood  of  the  house

and  take  off  his  head. 

10  And  the  king  said,  What  have

1 1 And  DaWid  said  to  A bi-shai, 
and  to  all  his  servants.  Behold, 
^my  son,  which  ‘'came  forth  of  my 
bowels,  seeketh  my  life : how  much 
more  now  may  this  Ben-ja-mite 
do  it?  let  him  alone,  and  let  him 
curse;  for  the  Loud  hath  bidden 
him. 

12  It  may  be  that  the  Loed  will 
look  on  mine  affliction,  and  that 
the  Loed  will /requite  me  good  for 
his  cursing  this  day. 

1 3 And  as  DaWid  and  his  men  went 
by  the  way,  Shim-e-i  went  along  on 
the  hill’s  side  over  against  him,  and 
cursed  as  he  went,  and  threw  stones 
at  him,  and  ^cast  dust. 

1 4 And  the  king,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple that  wei'e  with  him,  came 
^eary,  and  refreshed  themselves 

15  11  And  ^Ab-sa-l5m,  and  all  the 
people  the  men  of  Is-ra-el,  came  to 
J e-ru-sa-lem,  and  A-hith-5-phel  with 
him. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Hu- 
shai  the  Ar-ehite,  '^DaWid’s  friend, 
was  come  unto  Ab-sa-lQm,  that  Hu- 
shai  said  unto  Ab-sa-l5m,  ^God  save 
the  king,  God  save  the  king. 

17  And  Ab-sa-l5m  said  to  Hu-shai, 

Is  this  thy  kindness  to  thy  friend  1 
’why  wentest  thou  not  with  thy 
friend  1 _ _ 

18  And  Hu-shai  said  unto  Ab-sa- 
l5m.  Nay;  but  whom  the  Loed, 
and  this  people,  and  all  the  men  of 
IshA-el,  choose,  his  will  I be,  and 
with  him  will  I abide. 

19  And  again,  ^whorn  should  I 
serve  1 should  I not  serve  in  the 
presence  of  his  son  1 as  I have 
served  in  thy  father’s  presence,  so 
will  I be  in  thy  presence. 

20  H Then  said  Ab-sa-l5m  to  A- 
hlth-5-phel.  Give  counsel  among 
you  what  we  shall  do. 

21  And  A-hith-5-phel  said  unto 
Ab-sa-lom,  Go  in  unto  thy  father’s 
” concubines,  which  he  hath  left  to 
keep  the  house ; and  all  Is-ra-el  shall 
hear  that  thou  ‘’art  abhorred  of  thy 
father  : then  shall  ^the  hands  of  all 
that  are  with  thee  be  strong. 

22  So  they  spread  Ab-sa-lOm  a 
tent  upon  the  top  of  the  house ; 
and  Ab-sa-fflm  went  in  unto  his  fa- 
Ither’s  concubines  ^in  the  sight  of

CHAPTER  17. 

1 AhithopheVs  counsel  is  overthrown.  15  Secret  intelli 
gence  is  sent  to  David.  23  Ahithophel  hangeth  himself. 
25  Amasa  is  made  captain. 

Moreover  A-hith-5-phei  said 

unto  Ab-sa-l5m,  Let  me  now 
choose  out  twelve  thousand  men, 
and  I will  arise  and  pursue  after 
Da-vid  this  night : 

2 And  I will  come  upon  him  while 
he  is  ‘'weary  and  weak  handed,  and 
will  make  him  afraid : and  all  the 
people  that  are  with  him  shall  flee ; 
and  I will  •''smite  the  king  only  : 

3 And  I will  bring  back  all  the 
people  unto  thee:  the  man  whom 
thou  seekest  is  as  if  all  returned: 
so  all  the  people  shall  be  in  peace.* 
4 And  the  saying  ^pleased  Ab-sa- 
l5m  well,  and  all  the  elders  of 
Is-ra-el. 

5  Then  said  Ab-sa-l5m,  Call  now 
Hu-shai  the  Ar-chite  also,  and  let 
us  hear  likewise  ^ what  he  saith. 

6  And  when  Hu-shai  was  come  to 
Ab-sa-l5m,  Ab-sa-l5m  spake  unto 
him,  saying,  A-hith-5-phel  hath  spo- 
ken after  this  manner  : shall  we  do 
after  his  ‘^saying'?  if  not;  speak 
thou. 

7  And  Hu-shai  said  unto  Ab-sa- 
l5m.  The  counsel  that  A-hith-5-phel 
hath  ® given  is  not  good  at  this 
time. 

8  For,  said  Hu-shai,  thou  knowest 
thy  father  and  his  men,  that  they 
he  mighty  men,  and  they  he  ^ chafed 
in  their  minds,  as  a bear  robbed  of 
her  whelps  in  the  field:  and  thy 
father  is  a man  of  war,  and  will  not 
lodge  with  the  people. 

9  Behold,  he  is  hid  now  in  some 
pit,  or  in  some  other  place : and  it 
will  come  to  pass,  when  some  of 
them  be  ^overthrown  at  the  first, 
that  whosoever  heareth  it  will  say. 
There  is  a slaughter  among  the  peo- 
ple that  follow  Ab-sa-lOm. 

10  And  he  also  that  is  valiant, 
whose  heart  is  as  the  heart  of  a 
lion,  shall  utterly  ’’’melt : for  all  Is- 
ra-el  knoweth  that  thy  father  is  a 
mighty  man,  and  they  which  he 
with  him  are  valiant  men. 

1 1  Therefore  I counsel  that  all 
Is-ra-6l  be  generally  gathered  unto 
thee,  ®from  Dan  even  to  Be-er-she- 
ba,  ’’as  the  sand  that  is  by  the  sea 
for  multitude ; and  ^ that  thou  go 
to  battle  in  thine  own  person. 

12  So  shall  we  come  upon  him  in 
some  place  where  he  shall  be  found, 
and  we  will  liglit  upon  him  as  the 
dew  falleth  on  the  ground : and  of 
him  and  of  all  the  men  that  are 
with  him  there  shall  not  be  left  so 
much  as  one. 


319 


David  is  informed. 


1 3 Moreover,  if  he  he  gotten  into 
a city,  then  shall  all  Is-ra-el  bring 
ropes  to  that  city,  a.nd  we  will  draw 
it  into  the  river,  until  there  be  not 
one  small  stone  found  there. 

14  And  Ab-sa-lom  and  all  the  men 

of  Is-ra-el  said.  The  counsel  of  Hu- 
shai’the  Ar-ehite  is  better  than  the 
counsel  of  A-hitli-O-phel.  For  ‘’fh® 
Lord  had  ^ appointed  to  defeat  the 
good  counsel  of  A-hith-5-phel,  to  the 
intent  that  the  Lord  might  bring 
evil  upon  Ab-sa-l5ni.  _ ^ 

15  H ®Then  said  Hu-shai  unto  Za- 
dok  and  to  A-bi-a-thar  the  priests, 
Thus  and  thus  did  A-hith-6-phel 
counsel  Ab-sa-lOm  and  the  elders  of 
dsAa-el ; and  thus  and  thus  have  I 
counselled. 

16  Now  therefore  _ send  quickly, 
and  tell  DaAid,  saying.  Lodge  not 
this  night  ^ in  the  plains  of  the  wil- 
derness, but  speedily  pass  over  ; lest 
the  king  be  swallowed  up,  and  all 
the  people  that  are  with  him. 

17  *Now  Jon-a- than  and  A-him-a- 
az/ stayed  by  En-ro-gel ; for  they 
might  not  be  seen^  to  come  into  the 
city:  and  a wench  went  and  told 
them ; and  they  went  and  told  king 
DaAid. 

18  Nevertheless  a lad  saw  them, 
and  told  Ab-sa-l6m  : but  they  went 
both  of  them  away  quickly,  and 
came  to  a man’s  house  "4n  Ba-hu- 
rim,  v/hich  had  a well  in  his  court ; 
whither  they  went  down. 

19  And  -^the  woma,n  took  and 
spread  a covering  over  the  well’s 
mouth,  and  spread  ground  corn 
thereon;  and  the  thing  was  not 
known. 

20  And  when  Ab-sa-l5m’s  servants 
came  to  the  woman  to  the  house, 
they  said.  Where  is  A-him-a-az  and 
J 6n A-than  1 And  ® the  woman  said 
unto  them..  They  be  gone  over  the 
brook  of  water.  And  when  they 
had  sought  and  could  not  find  them., 

hey  returned  to  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  after  they 
were  departed,  that  they  came  up 
out  of  the  well,  and  went  and  told 
king  DaAid,  and  said  unto  DaAid, 
^ Arise,  and  pass  quickly  over  the 
water  : for  thus  hath  A-Jtiith-6-phel 
counselled  against  you. 

22  Then  DaAid  arose,  and  all  the 
people  that  were  with  him,  and 
they  passed  over  Jor-dan:  by  the 
morning  light  there  lacked  not  one 
of  them  that  was  not  gone  over 
Jdr-dan. 

23  ^1  And  when  A-hith-6-phel  saw 
that  his  counsel  was  not  ^ followed, 
he  saddled  ids  ass,  and  arose,  and

25  H And  Ab-sa-l6m  made  Am-

and  thirsty,  Mn  the  wilderness. 

CHAPTER  18. 

1 David  viewing  the  armies  in  their  march  giveth  them 
charge  of  Absalom.  14  Absalom  is  slain  by  Joab.  33 
David  mourneth  for  him. 

ND  Da  Aid  numbered  the  peo- 

pie  that  were  with  him,  and 

set  captains  of  thousands  and  cap- 
tains of  hundreds  over  them. 

2 And  Da-vid  sent  forth  a third 
part  of  the  people  under  the  hand 
of  JoAb,  and  a third  part  under  the 
hand  of  A-bi-shai  the  son  of  Ze-ru- 
iah,  Jo-ab’s  brother,  ’’and  a tnird 
part  under  the  hand  of  It-tai  the 
GitAlte.  And  the  king  said  unto 
the  people,  I will  surely  go  forth 
with  you  myself  also. 

3 "But  the  people  answered,  ihou 
shalt  not  go  forth:  for  if  we  flee 
away,  they  will  not  ^care  for  us; 
neither  if  naif  of  us  die,  will  they 
care  for  us : but  nov/  thou  art 
® worth  ten  thousand  of  us : there- 
fore now  it  is  better  that  thou  suc- 
cour us  out  of  the  city. 

4 And  the  king  said  unto  them, 
What  seemeth  you  best  I will  do. 
And  the  king  stood  by  the  gate 
side,  and  all  the  people  came  out 
by  hundreds  and  by  thousands.^ 

5 And  the  king  commanded  J o-ab 
and  A-bi-shai  and  It-tm,  saying,

gently  for  my  sake  with  the  young 
man.  even  with  Ab-sa-l5m.  ‘"And 
all  the  people  heard  when  the  king 
gave  all  the  captains  charge  con- 
cerning Ab-sa-lom. 

6 U So  the  people  went  out  into  the 
field  against  Is-ra-el : and  the  battle 
was  in  the  **  wood  of  E-phra-im ; 

7 Where  the  people  of  Is-ra-el_were 
slain  before  the  servants  of  DaWid, 
and  there  was  there  a great  slaugh- 
ter that  day  of  twenty  thousand  men. 

8 For  the  battle  was  there  scat- 
tered over  the  face  of  all  the  coun- 
try : and  the  wood  ^ devoured  more 
people  that  day  than  the  sword  de- 
voured. ^ 

9 U And  Ab-sa-l5m  met  the  servants 
3f  DaWid.  And  Ab-sa-l5m  rode  upon 
a mule,  and  the  mule  went  under 
the  thick  boughs  of  a great  oak,  and 
his  head  caught  hold  of  the  oak, 
and  he  was  taken  up  between  the 
heaven  and  the  earth  ; and  the  mule 
that  was  under  him  went  away. 

10  And  a certain  man  saw  it,  and 
told  Jo-ab,  and  said.  Behold,  1 saw 
Ab-sa-l5m  hanged  in  an  oak. 

11  And  Jo-ab  said  unto  the  man 
that  told  him.  And,  behold,  thou 
sawest  him,  and  why  didst  thou  not 
smite  him  there  to  _ the  ground  % 
and  I would  have  given  thee  ten 
shek-els  of  silver,  and  a girdle^  ^ 

12  And  the  man  said  unto  Jo-ab, 
Though  I should  ® receive  a thou- 
sand shek-els  of  silver  in  mine  hand, 
yet  would  I not  put  forth  mine  hand 
against  the  king’s  son : -^for  in  our 
hearing  the  king  charged  thee  and 
A-bi-shai  and  It-tai,  saying,  '^Be- 
ware that  none  touch  the  young 
man  Ab-sa-l5m. 

1 3 Otherwise  I should  have  wrought 
falsehood  against  mine  own  life : for 
there  is  no  matter  hid  from  the  king, 
and  thou  thyself  wouldest  have  set 
thyself  against  me^ 

14  Then  said  Jo-ab,  I may  not 
tarry  thus  ®with  thee.  And  he 
took  three  darts  in  his  hand,  and 
thrust  them  through  the  heart  of 
Ab-sa-l5m,  while  he  was  yet  alive 
in  the  ^ midst  of  the  oak. 

15  And  ten  young  men  that  bare 
Jo-ab’s  armour  compassed  about  and 
smote  Ab-sAlom,  and  slew  him. 

16  And  Jo-ab  blew  the  trumpet, 
and  the  people  returned  from  pur- 
suing after  Is-ra-el:  for  Jo-ab  held 
back  the  people. 

17  And  they  took  Ab-saddm,  and 
cast  him  into  a great  pit  in  the 
wood,  and  laid  a very  great  heap 
of  stones  upon  him  : and  all  I§-ra-6l 
fled  every  one  to  his  tent.

self a pillar,  which  is  in  * the  king’s

keep  my  name  in  remembrance : 
and  he  called  the  pillar  after  his 
own  name : and  it  is  called  unto 
this  day,  Ab-sa-l5m’s  place. 

19  ^ Then  said  A-him-a-az  the  son 
of  Za-dok,  Let  me  now  run,  and 
bear  the  king  tidings,  how  that 
the  Lord  hath  ^avenged  him  of  his

20  And  Jo-ab  said  unto  him.  Thou 

shalt  not  ^bear  tidings  this  day, 
but  thou  shalt  bear  tidings  another 
day : but  this  day  thou  shalt  bear 
no  tidings,  because  the  king’s  son

21  Then  said  Jo-ab  to  •€)u-shl.  Go 
tell  the  king  what  thou  hast  seen. 
And  -Gu-shi  bowed  himself  unto 
Jo-ab,  and  ran.  ^ 

22  Then  said  A-him-a-az  the  son 
of  Za-dok  yet  again  to  Jo-ab,  But 
^howsoever,  let  me,  I pray  thee, 
also  run  after  -Gu-shi.  And  Jo-ab 
said.  Wherefore  wilt  thou  run,  my 
son,  seeing  that  thou  hast  no  tid- 
ings ^ ready'? 

23  But  howsoever,  said  he,  let  me 
run.  And  he  said  unto  him.  Run. 
Then  A-him-a-az  ran  by  the  way  of 
the  plain,  and  overran  -Gu-shi. 

24  And  DaWid  sat  between  the 
two  gates : and  ®the  watchman 
went  up  to  the  roof  oyer  the  gate 
unto  the  wall,  and  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  and  looked,  and  behold  a man 
running  alone. 

25  And  the  watchman  cried,  and 
told  the  king.  And  the  king  said, 
If  he  he  alone,  there  is  tidings  in  his 
mouth.  And  he  came  apace,  and 
drew  near. 

26  And  the  watchman  saw  another 
man  running:  and  the  watchman 
called  unto  the  porter,  and  said. 
Behold  another  man  running  alone. 
And  the  king  said.  He  also  bringeth 
tidings. 

27  And  the  watchman  said,  ^Me 
thinketh  the  running  of  the  forej 
most  is  like  the  running  of  A-him- 
a-az  the  son  of  Za-d5k.  And  the 
king  said.  He  is  a good  man,  and 
cometh  with  good  tidings. 

28  And  A-him-a-az  called,  and  said 
unto  the  king,  ^^All  is  well.  And  ho 
fell  down  to  the  earth  upon  his  face 
before  the  king,  and  said.  Blessed 
he  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  hath 
^delivered  up  the  men  that  lifted 
up  their  hand  against  my  lord  the

I knew  not  what  it  was. 

30  And  the  king  said  unto  him. 
Turn  aside,  and  stand  here.  And 
he  turned  aside,  and  stood  still. 

31  And,  behold,  Uu-shi  came;  and 
■Gu-shi  said,  ^Tidings,  my  lord  the 
king : for  the  Lord  hath  avenged 
thee  this  day  of  all  them  that  rose 
up  against  thee. 

32  And  the  king  said  unto  Gu-shi, 
Is  the  young  man  Ab-sa-l5m  safe*? 
And  Gu-shi  answered.  The  enemies 
of  my  lord  the  king,  and  all  that 
rise  against  thee  to  do  thee  hurt,  be 
as  that  young  man  is. 

33  11  And  the  king  was  much 
moved,  and  went  up  to  the  cham- 
ber over  the  gate,  and  wept : and 
as  he  went,  thus  he  said,  *0  my

AND  it  was  told  Jo-ab,  Behold, 
the  king  weepeth  and  mourn- 
eth  for  Ab-sa-l5m. 

2 And  the  ^victory  that  day  was 
turned  into  mourning  unto  all  the 
people:  for  the  people  heard  say 
that  day  how  the  king  was  grieved 
for  his  son. 

3 And  the  people  gat  them  by 
stealth  that  day  -^into  the  city,  as 
people  being  ashamed  steal  away 
when  they  flee  in  battle. 

4 But  the  king  covered  his  face, 
and  the  king  cried  with  a loud 
voice,  *0  my  son  Ab-sa-l5m,  O Ab- 
sa-l6m,  my  son,  my  son  ! 

5 And  Jo-ab  came  into  the  house 
to  the  king,  and  said.  Thou  hast 
shamed  this  day_  the  faces  of  all 
thy  servants,  which  this  day  have 
saved  thy  life,  and  the  lives  of  thy 
sons  and  of  thy  daughters,  and  the 
lives  of  thy  wives,  and  the  hves  of 
thy  concubines ; 

6^  ^In  that  thou  lovest  thine  ene- 
mies, and  ha  test  thy  friends.  For 
thou  hast  declared  this  day,  ®that 
thou  regardest  neither  princes  nor 
servants : for  this  day  I perceive, 
that  if  Ab-sa-lOm  had  lived,  and  all 
we  had  died  this  day,  then  it  had 
pleased  thee  well. 

7  Now  therefore  arise,  go  forth, 
and  speak  '^comfortably  unto  thy 
servants  : for  I swear  by  the  Lord, 
if  thou  go  not  forth,  there  will  not 
tarry  one  with  thee  this  night : and 
that  will  be  worse  unto  thee  than

thy  youth  until  now. 

8 Then  the  king  arose,  and  sat  in 
the  gate.  And  they  told  unto  all 
the  people,  saying.  Behold,  the  king 
doth  sit  in  the  gate.  And  all  the 
people  came  before  the  king:  for 
is-ra-el  had  fled  every  man  to  his 
tent. 

9 ^ And  all  the  people  were  at 
strife  throughout  all  the  tribes  of 
Is-ra-el,  saying.  The  king  saved  us 
out  of  the  hand  of  our  enemies,  and 
he  delivered  us  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  Phi-lis-tines ; and  now  he  is  “fled 
out  of  the  land  for  Ab-sa-lCm. 

10  And  Ab-sa-l5m,  whom  we  a- 
nointed  over  us,  is  dead  in  battle. 
Now  therefore  why  ^ speak  ye  not  a 
word  of  bringing  the  king  back  ? 

1 1 H And  king  Da-vid  sent  to  Za- 
dok  and  to  A-bi-a-thar  the  priests, 
saying.  Speak  unto  the  elders  of 
Ju-dah,  saying.  Why  are  ye  the  last 
to  bring  the  king  back  to  his  house? 
seeing  the  speech  of  all  Is-ra-el  is 
come  to  the  king,  even  to  his  house. 

12  Ye  are  my  brethren,  ye  are 
®my  bones  and  my  flesh : wherefore 
then  are  ye  the  last  to  bring  back 
the  king? 

13  ‘^And  say  ye  to  Am-a-sa,  Art 
thou  not  of  my  bone,  and  of  my 
flesh?  ®God  do  so  to  me,  and  more 
also,  if  thou  be  not  captain  of  the 
host  before  me  continually  in  the 
room  of  Jo-ab. 

14  And  he  bowed  the  heart  of  all 
the  men  of  Ju-dah,  ^even  as  the  heart 
of  one  man ; so  that  they  sent  this 
word  unto  the  king,  Return  thou, 
and  all  thy  servants. 

15  So  the  king  returned,  and  came 
to  Jor-dan.  And  Ju-dah  came  to 
*Gil-gal,  to  go  to  meet  the  king,  to 
conduct  the  king  over  Jbr-dan. 

16  IT  And  ^Shim-e-i  the  son  of 
GeYa,  a Ben-ja-mite,  which  was  of 
BAhuYim,  hasted  and  came  down 
with  the  men  of  Ju-dah  to  meet 
king  Da-vid. 

1 7 And  there  tvere  a thousand  men 
of  Ben-ja-min  with  him,  and  ’^Zi-ba 
the  servant  of  the  house  of  Saul, 
and  his  fifteen  sons  and  his  twenty 
servants  with  him  ; and  they  went 
over  Jbr-dan  before  the  king. 

18  And  there  went  oyer  a ferry 
boat  to  carry  over  the  king’s  house- 
hold, and  to  do  ®what  he  thought 
good.  And  Shim-e-i  the  son  of  Ge-ra 
fell  down  before  the  king,  as  he  was 
come  over  J6r-dan ; 

19  And  said  unto  the  king,  "Let 
not  my  lord  impute  iniquity  unto 
me,  neither  do  thou  remember  “that

the  day  that  my  lord  the  king  went 
out  of  Je-ru-sAlem,  that  the  king 
should  ^take  it  to  his  heart. 

20  For  thy  servant  doth  know  that 
I have  sinned:  therefore,  behold,  I 
am  come  the  first  this  day  of  all 
®the  house  of  Jo-sei:)h  to  go  down  to 
meet  my  lord  the  king. 

21  But  A-bi-shai  the  son  of  Ze- 
rudah  answered  and  said,  Shall  not 
Shim-e-i  be  put  to  death  for  this, 
because  he  ‘^cursed  the  Lord’s  a- 
nointed  1 

22  And  Da-vid  said,  -^What  have  I 
to  do  with  you,  ye  sons  of  Ze-ru-iah, 
that  ye  should  this  day  be  adver- 
saries unto  mel  ^ shall  there  any 
man  be  put  to  death  this  day  in 
Is-ra-eH  for  do  not  I know  that  I 
am  this  day  king  over  Is-ra-el  1 

23  Therefore  Hhe  king  said  unto 
Shim^e-i,  Thou  shalt  not  die.  And 
the  king  sware  unto  him. 

24  U And  *Me-phib-6-sheth  the  son 
of  Saul  came  down  to  meet  the 
king,  and  had  neither  dressed  his 
feet,  nor  trimmed  his  beard,  nor 
washed  his  clothes,  from  the  day 
the  king  departed  until  the  day  he 
came  again  in  peace. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
was  come  to  Jg-ru-sa-lem  to  meet 
the  king,  that  the  king  said  unto 
him,  * wherefore  wentest  not  thou 
with  me,  Me-phib-6-sheth  1 

26  And  he  answered.  My  lord,  O 
king,  my  servant  deceived  me : for 
thy  servant  said,  I will  saddle  me 
an  ass,  that  I may  ride  thereon,  and 
go  to  the  king ; because  thy  servant 
IS  lame. 

27  And  "he  hath  slandered  thy 
servant  unto  my  lord  the  king ; 
'’but  my  lord  the  king  is  as  an 
angel  or  God:  do  therefore  what  is 
good  in  thine  eyes. 

28  For  all  o/  my  father’s  house 
were  but  ‘‘dead  men  before  my  lord 
the  king : ^yet  didst  thou  set  thy 
servant  among  them  that  did  eat 
at  thine  own  table.  What  right 
therefore  have  I yet  to  cry  any 
more  unto  the  king"? 

29  And  the  king  said  unto  him. 
Why  speakest  thou  any  more  of 
thy  matters'?  I have  said.  Thou 
and  Zi-ba  divide  the  land. 

30  And  Me-phib-6-sheth  said  unto 
the  king.  Yea,  let  him  take  all, 
forasmuch  as  my  lord  the  king  is 
come  again  in  peace  unto  his  own 
house. 

31  H And  *Bar-zil-lai  the  Gil-6-ad-

“he  had  provided  the  king  of  suste-

for  he  was  a very  great  man. 

33  And  the  king  said  unto  Bar-

and  I will  feed  thee  with  me  in

34  And  Bar-zil-lai  said  unto  the

that  I should  go  up  with  the  king 
unto  J e-ru-sa-lem  *? 

35  I am  this  day  ^fourscore  years 
old : and  can  I discern  between 
good  and  evill  can  thy  servant  taste 
what  I eat  or  what  I drink'?  can  I 
hear  any  more  the  voice  of  singing 
men  and  singing  women  1 where- 
fore then  should  thy  servant  be  yet 
a burden  unto  my  lord  the  king '? 

36  Thy  servant  will  go  a little  way 
over  J6r-dan  with  the  king:  and 
why  should  the  king  recompense  it 
me  with  such  a reward '? 

37  Let  thy  servant,  I pray  thee, 
turn  back  again,  that  I may  die  in 
mine  own  city,  and  be  buried  by 
the  grave  of  my  father  and  of  my 
mother.  But  behold  thy  servant 
*-Ghim-ham ; let  him  go  over  with 
my  lord  the  king;  and  do  to  him 
what  shall  seem  good  unto  thee. 

38  And  the  king  answered,  -Chim- 
ham  shall  go  over  with  me,  and  I 
will  do  to  him  that  which  shall 
seem  good  unto  thee : and  whatso- 
ever thou  shalt  ^require  of  me,  that 
will  I do  for  thee. 

39  And  all  the  people  went  over 
Jor-dan.  And  when  the  king  was 
corny  over,  the  king  kissed  Bar- 
zil-lai,  and  blessed  him  ; and  he  re- 
turned unto  his  own  place. 

40  Then  the  king  went  on  to  Gil- 
gal,  and  ^-Ghim-ham  went  on  with 
him : and  all  the  people  of  Ju-dah 
conducted  the  king,  and  also  half 
the  people  of  IsYa-6l. 

41  And,  behold,  all  the  men  of

unto  the  king.  Why  have  our  bre- 
thren the  men  of  Ju-dah  stolen  thee 
away,  and  ^have  brought  the  king,

.A-  a man  of  Be-  li-al,  whose  name 
was  She-ba,  the  son  of  Bichhu,  a 
Ben-ja-mite:  and  he  blev/  a trum- 
pet, and  said,  ‘^We  have  no  part  in 
Da-vid,  neither  have  we  inheritance 
in  the  son  of  J6s-se  : ® every  man  to 
his  tents,  O Is-ra,-el, 

2 So  every  man  of  Is-ra-el  went 
up  from  after  Da-vid,  and  followed 
She-ba  the  son  of  Bich-ri : but  the 
men  of  Ju-dah  clave  unto  their 
king,  from  J6r-dan  even  to  JAru- 
sAlem.  _ 

3 IT  And  Da-vid  came  to  his  house 
at  JAru-sa-lem ; and  the  king  took 
the  ten  women  his  ^ concubines, 
whom  he  had  left  to  keep  the 
house,  and  put  them  in  ^ward,  and 
fed  tnem,  but  went  not  in  unto 
them.  So  they  were  ^shut  up  unto 
the  day  of  their  death,  ® living  in 
widowhood. 

4 ^ Then  said  the  king  to  Am-a-sa, 
*Assemble'^  me  the  men  of  Ju-dah 
within  three  days,  and  be  thou  here 
present. 

5 So  Am-a-sa  went  to  assemble 
the  men  of  Ju-dah:  but  he  tarried 
longer  than  the  set  time  which  he

Jo-ab’s  men,  and  the  ^-Chgr-e-thites,

Then  there  was  a famine  in  the 
days  of  Da-vid  three  years,  year 
after  year ; and  Da-vid  ® enquired  of 
fche  Lord.  And  the  Lord  answered. 
It  is  for  Saul,  and  for  his  bloody 
house,  because  he  slew  the  Gib-e- 
On-ites. 

2 And  the  king  called  the  Gib-e- 
5n-ites,  and  said  unto  them ; (now 
the  Gib-e-5n-ites  were  not  of  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el,  but  "of  the  rem- 
nant of  the  Am-6r-ites ; and  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el  had  sworn  unto 
them : and  Saul  sought  to  slay  them 
in  his  zeal  to  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
and  Ju-dah.) 

3 Wherefore  Da-vid  said  unto  the 
Gib-e-On-Ites,  What  shall  I do  for 
youl  and  wherewith  shall  I make 
the  atonement,  that  ye  may  bless 
s'the  inheritance  of  the  LordI 
4 And  the  Gib-e-5n-ites  said  unto 
him,  ’We  will  have  no  silver  nor 
gold  of  Saul,  nor  of  his  house ; 
neither  for  us  shalt  thou  kill  any 
man  in  Is-ra-el.  And  he  said.  What 
ye  shall  say,  that  will  I do  for  you. 

5 And  they  answered  the  king, 
The  man  that  consumed  us,  and 
that  ^devised  against  us  that  we 
should  be  destroyed  from  remain- 
ing in  any  of  the  coasts  of  Is-ra-el, 
6 Let  seven  men  of  his  sons  be 
delivered  unto  us,  and  we  will  hang 
them  up  unto  the  Lord  *in  Gib- 
Aah  of  Saul,  ^whom"^  the  Lord  did 
choose.  And  the  king  said,  I will 
give  them. 

7  But  the  king  spared  Me-phib-6-

son  of  Saul,  because  of  * the  Lord’s 
oath  that  was  between  them,  be- 
tween DaWid  and  Jhn-a-than  the 
son  of  Saul. 

8 But  the  king  took  the  two  sons 
of  ‘^Riz-pah  the  daughter  of  A-iah, 
whom  she  bare  unto  Saul,  Ar-mo-ni 
and  Me-phib-6-sheth ; and  the  five 
sons  of  ’^Mi-chal  the  daughter  of 
Saul,  whom  she  ^brought  up  for 
A-dri-el  the  son  of  Bar-zil-lai  the 
Me-hOl-ath-ite : 

9 And  he  delivered  them  into  the 
hands  of  the  Gib-e-5n-ites,  and  they 
hanged  them  in  the  hill  ^before  the 
Lord  : and  they  fell  all  seven  toge- 
ther, and  were  put  to  death  in  the 
days  of  harvest,  in  the  first  days,  in 
the  beginning  of  barley  harvest. 

ion  And  ^Riz-pah  the  daughter  of 
A-iah  took  sackcloth,  and  spread  it 
for  her  upon  the  rock,  ^from  the 
beginning  of  harvest  until  water 
dropped  upon  them  out  of  heaven, 
anef  suffered  neither  the  birds  of 
the  air  to  rest  on  them  by  day,  nor 
the  beasts  of  the  field  by  night. 

11  And  it  was  told  Da-yid  what 
Riz-pah  the  daughter  of  A-iah,  the 
concubine  of  Saul,  had  done. 

12  n And  DaWid  went  and  took 
the  bones  of  Saul  and  the  bones 
of  J(3n-a-than  his  son  from  the  men 
of  JAbesh-gil-e-ad,  which  had 
stolen  them  from  the  street  of 
Beth'-shan,  where  the  ”Phi-lis- tines 
had  hanged  them,  when  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  had  slain  Saul  in  Gil-bo-a  : 

1 3 And  he  brought  up  from  thence 
the  bones  of  Saul  and  the  bones  of 
J 6n-a-than  his  son  ; and  they  gath- 
ered the  bones  of  them  that  were 
hanged. 

14  And  the  bones  of  Saul  and  J5n- 
a-than  his  son  buried  they  in  the 
country  of  Ben-ja-min  in  ^ZAlah, 
in  the  sepulchre  of  Kish  his  father : 
and  they  performed  all  that  the 
king  comnianded.  And  after  that 
'"God  was  intreated  for  the  land. 

15  H Moreover  the  Phi-lis-tines  had 
yet  war  again  with  Is-ra-el ; ’ and 
DaWid  went  down,  and  his  servants 
with  him,  and  fought_  against  the 
Phi-lis-tines : and  Da-vid  waxed 
faint. 

16  And  Ish-bi-be-n5b,  which  was 
of  the  sons  of  ^the  giant,  the  weight 
of  whose  ^ spear  weighed  three  hun- 
dred shek-ets  of  brass  in  weight,  he 
being  girded  with  a new  sword, 
thought  to  have  slain  Da-vid. 

1 7 But  A-bi-shai  the  son  of  Ze-ru- 
iah  succoured  him,  and  smote  the 
Phi-lis-tine,  and  killed  him.  Then 
the  men  of  Da-vid  sware  unto  him, 
saying,  “Thou  shalt  go  no  more  out

with  us  to  battle,  that  thou  quench 
not  the  * light  ^ of  Is-ra-el.  . 

18  ‘'And  it  came  to  pass  after  this, 
that  there  was  again  a battle  with 
the  Phi-lis-tines  at  Gob  . then  ®Sib- 
be-chai  the  Hu-shath-ite  slew  ^Saph, 
which  wa%  of  the  sons  9f  ^the  giant. 

19  And  there  was  again  a battle  in 

G5b  with  the  Phi-lis-tines,  where 
El-ha-nan  the  son  of  ®Ja-Are-6r-e- 
gim,  a Beth-le-hem-ite,  slew  Hhe 
brother  of  G6-li-ath  the  Git-tite,  the 
staff  of  whose  spear  was  like  a 
weaver’s  beam.  . 

20  And  * there  was  yet  a battle  in 
Gath,  where  was  a man  of  great 
stature,  that  had  on  every  hand  six 
fingers,  and  on  every  foot  six  toes, 
four  and  twenty  in  number ; and 
he  also  was  born  to  ®the  giant. 

21  And  when  he  Mefied  Is-ra-el, 
J6n-a-than  the  son  of  ”^Shim-e-ah 
the  brother  of  Da-vid  slew  him. 

22  ^ These  four  were  born  to  the 
giant  in  Gath,  and  fell  by  the  hand 
of  Da-vid,  and  by  the  hand  of 
his  servants.

11  And  he  rode  upon  a cher-ub, 
and  did  fly : and  he  was  seen  ‘^upon

12  And  he  made  -^darkness  pavil-

ent  state  of  the  wicked.  8 David's  mighty  men. 

]yr  OW  these  be  the  last  words 
ly  of  Da-vid.  Da-vid  the  son  of 
Jes-se  said,  "and  the  man  who\was 
raised  up  on  high,  the  anointed  of 
the  God  of  Ja-cOb,  and  the  sweet 
psalmist  of  Is-ra-el,  said, 

2 The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  spake  by 
me,  and  his  word  was  in  my  tongue. 

3 The  God  of  Is-ra-el  said,  " the 
Rock  of  Is-ra-el  spake  to  me,  "^He 
that  ruleth  over  men  must  he  just, 
ruling  ^in  the  fear  of  God. 

4 And  '^he  shall  be  as  the  light  of 
the  morning,  when  the  sun  riseth. 
even  a morning  without  clouds ; as 
the  tender  grass  springing  out  of 
the  earth  by  clear  shining  after 
rain. 

5 Although  my  house  he  not  so 
with  God  ; " yet  he  hath  made  with 
me  an  everlasting  covenant,  ordered 
in  all  thifigs,  dfoA  sure:  for  this  is 
all  my  salvation,  and  all  my  desire, 
although  he  make  it  not  to  grow. 

6 H But  the  sons  of  Bedi-al  shall  he 
all  of  them  as  thorns  thrust  away, 
because  they  cannot  be  taken  with 
hands : 

7 But  the  man  that  shall  touch 
them  must  be  ® fenced  with  iron  and 
the  staff  of  a spear ; and  they  shall 
be  utterly  burned  with  fire  in  the 
same  place. 

8 H These  he  the  names  of  the 
mighty  men  whom  Da-vid  had : 
^The  Taeh-m5-nite  that  sat  in  the 
seat,  chief  among  the  obtains  ; the 
same  was  Ad-i-no  the  Ez-nite : ® he 
lift  up  his  spear  against  eight  hun- 
dred, ® whom  he  slew  at  one  time. 

9 And  after  him  was  ®E-le-a-zar 
the  son  of  Do-dp  the  A-ho-hite,  oTie 
of  the  three  mighty  men  with  Da- 
vid, when  they  defied  the  Phi-lis- 
tines  that  were  there  gathered  to- 
gether to  battle,  and  the  men  of 
Is-ra-6l  were  gone  away: 

10  He  arose,  and  smote  the  Phi- 
lis-tines  until  his  hand  was  weary, 
and  his  hand  clave  unto  the  sword  : 
and  the  Lord  wrought  a great  vic- 
tory that  day ; and  the  people  re- 
turned after  him  only  to  spoil. 

11  And  after  him  was  Sham-mah 
the  son  of  Ag-6-e  the  Ha-ra-rite. 
^And  the  Phi-lis-tines  were  gathered 


327 


together  ^into  a troop,  where  was 
a piece  of  ground  full  of  lentiles : 
and  the  people  fled  from  the  Phi- 
lis'tines. 

12  But  he  stood  in  the  midst  ot 

the  ground,  and  defended  it,  and 
slew  the  Phi-lis-tines  : and  the  Lord 
wrought  a great  victory.  , 

13  And  three‘s  of  the  thirty  chief 
went  down,  and  came  to  Da-vid  in 
the  harvest  time  unto  ‘^the  cave 
of  A-dtil-lam  : and  the  troop  of  the 
Phi-hs-tines  pitched  in  Hhe  valley 
of  Beph-a-im. 

14  And  Da-vid  was  then  in  ^an 
Qold,  and  the  garrison  of  the  Phi- 
lis-tines  was  then  in  Beth'-lg-hepa. 

15  Arid  Da-vid  longed,  and  said. 
Oh  that  one  would  give  me  drink 
of  the  water  of  the  well  of  Beth- 
le-hem,  which  is  by  the  gate ! 

16  And  the  three  mighty  men 
brake  through  the  host  of  the  Phi- 
lis-tines,  and  drew  water  out  of  the 
well  of  Beth -l6-hem,  that  was  by 
the  gate,  and  took  it,  and  brought 
it  to  Da-vid  : nevertheless  he  would 
not  drink  thereof,  but  poured  it 
out  unto  the  Lord. 

17  And  he  said.  Be  it  far  from  me, 
O Lord,  that  I should  do  this : is 
not  this  '"the  blood  of  the  men  that 
went  in  jeopardy  of  their  lives  % 
therefore  he  would  not  drink  it. 
These  things  did  these  three  mighty 
men. 

18  And  *A-bi-shai,  the  brother  of 
Jo-ab,  the  son  of  Ze-ru-iah,  was  chief 
among  three.  And  he  lifted  up  his 
spear  against  three  hundred,  "^and 
slew  them,  and  had  the  name  a- 
mong  three. 

19  Was  he  not  most  honourable  of 
three  ? therefore  he  was  their  cap- 
tain : howbeit  he  attained  not  unto 
the  first  three. 

20  And  Be-na-iah  the  son  of  Je- 
hoi-a-da,  the  son  of  a valiant  man, 
of  " Kab-ze-el,  ® who  had  done  many 
acts,  ^ he  slew  two  lionlike  men  of 
Mo-ab  : he  went  down  also  and  slew 
a lion  in  the  midst  of  a pit  in  time 
of  snow  : 

21  And  he  slew  an  E-gyp-Lan.  ®a 
goodly  man : and  the  E-gyp-tjan  had 
a spear  in  his  hand  ; but  he  went 
down  to  him  with  a stafi^  and 
plucked  the  spear  out  of  the  E-gyp- 
tian’s  hand,  and  slew  him  with  his 
own  spear. 

22  These  things  did  Be-na^ah  the 
son  of  JAhoi-a-da,  and  had  the  name 
among  three  mighty  men. 

23  He  was  ^more  honourable  than 
the  thirty,  but  he  attained  not  to 
the^ns^  three.  And  Da-vid  set  him 
®over  his  guard.

25  David  having  sacrificed,  the  plague  stayeth.

to  say,  ”Go,  number  Is-ra-6l  and

him,  ® Go  now  through  all  the  tribes 
of  Is-ra-el,  ^ from  Dan  even  to  Be-6r-

midst  of  the  ^ river  of  GM,  and  to-

6 Then  they  came  to  Gil-§-ad,  and

people.  And  Da-vid  said  unto  the 
Lord,  M have  sinned  greatly  in  that 
I have  done : and  now,  I beseech 
thee,  O Lord,  take  away  the  ini- 
quity of  thy  servant ; for  I have 
’"done  very  foolishly. 

1 1 For  when  Da-vid  was  up  in  the 
morning,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  the  prophet  ^ Gad,  Da- 
vid’s «seer,  saying, 

12  Go  and  say  unto  Da-vid,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  I offer  thee  three 
things ; choose  thee  one  of  them, 
that  I may  do  it  unto  thee. 

13  So  Gad  came  to  Da-vid,  and 
told  him,  and  said  unto  him.  Shall 
‘seven  years  of  famine  come  unto 
thee  in  thy  land  1 or  wilt  thou  flee 
three  months  before  thine  enemies, 
while  they  pursue  thee  1 ^ or  that 
there  be  three  days’  pestilence  in 
thy  land '?  now  advise,  and  see  what 
answer  I shall  return  to  him  that 
sent  me. 

14  And  Da-vid  said  unto  Gad,  I 
am  in  a great  strait : let  us  fall  now 
into  the  hand  of  the  Lord  ; "for  his 
mercies  are  ^ great:  and  ^let  me  not 
fall  into  the  hand  of  man. 

15  IT  So  Hhe  Lord  sent  a pesti- 
lence upon  Is-ra-el  from  the  morn- 
ing even  to  the  time  appointed  : 
and  there  died  of  the  people  from 
Dan  even  to  Be-6r-she-ba  seventy 
thousand  men.

out  his  hand  upon  Je-ru-sa-lem  to 
destroy  it,  Hhe  Lord  repented  him 
of  the  evil,  and  said  to  the  angel 
that  destroyed  the  people.  It  is 
enough : stay  now  thine  hand.  And 
the  angel  of  the  Lord  was  by  the 
threshingplace  of  ‘^A-rau-nah  the 
J eb-u-site. 

17  And  DaMd  spake  unto  the 
Lord  when  he  saw  the  angel  that 
smote  the  people,  and  said,  Lo, 
have  sinned,  and  I have  done  wick- 
edly : but  these  sheep,  what  have 
they  done^  let  thine  hand,  I pray 
thee,  be  against  me,  and  against 
my  father’s  house. 

18  ^ And  Gad  came  that  day  to 
Da-vid,  and  said  unto  him,  ^Go  up, 
rear  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  in  the 
threshingfloor  of  ^A-rau-nah  the 
Jeb-u-site. 

19  And  Da-vid,  according  to  the 
saying  of  Gad,  went  up  as  tne  Lord 
commanded. 

20  And  A-rau-nah  looked,  and  saw 
the  king  and  his  servants  coming 
on  toward  him : and  A-rau-nah 
went  out,  and  bowed  himself  be- 
fore the  king  on  his  face  upon  the 
ground.  ,, 

21  And  A-rau-nah  said.  Wherefore 
is  my  lord  the  king  come  to  his 
servant  % "And  DaAid  said.  To  buy 
the  threshingfloor  of  thee,  to  build 
an  altar  unto  the  Lord,  that  ®the 
plague  may  be  stayed  from  the 
people. 

22  And  A-rau-nah  said  unto  Da- 
vid, Let  my  lord  the  king  take  and 
offer  up  what  see7iieth  good  unto 
him : ’’behold,  here  be  oxen  for  burnt 
sacrifice,  and  threshing  instruments 
and  other  instruments  of  the  oxen 
for  wood. 

23  All  these  things  did  A-rau- 
nah,  as  a king,  give  unto  the 
king.  And  A-rau-nah  said  unto 
the  king.  The  Lord  thy  God  * ac- 
cept thee. 

24  And  the  king  said  unto  A-rau- 
nah,  Nay ; but  I will  surely  buy  it 
of  thee  at  a price : neither  will  I 
offer  burnt  offerings  unto  the  Lord 
my  God  of  that  which  doth  cost 
me  nothing.  So  ^Da-vid  bought 
the  threshingfloor  and  the  oxen  for 
fifty  shek-els  of  silver. 

25  And  Da-vid  built  there  an  altar 
unto  the  Lord,  and  offered  burnt 
offerings  and  peace  offerings.  “So 
the  Lord  was  intreated  for  the  land, 
and  Hhe  plague  was  stayed  from 
I§-ra-6l.

THE 

FIRST  BOOK  OP  THE  KINGS, 

COMMONLY  CALLED, 

THE  THIRD  BOOK  OF  THE  KINGS. 


CHAPTER  1. 

1 Abishdg  chetisheth  David  in  his  extreme  age.  5 Adoni- 
jah  usurpeth  the  kingdom.  32  Solomon,  by  David’s  ap- 
pointment, is  anointed  king.  50  Adonijah,  fleeing  to  the 
horns  of  the  altar,  upon  his  good,  behaviour  is  dismissed 
by  Solomon. 

"VrOW  king  Da-vid  was  old  and 
1.1  ^stricken  in  years;  and  they 
covered  him  with  clothes,  but  he 
gat  no  heat. 

2 Wherefore  his  servants  said  un- 
to him,  ^Let  there  be  sought  for  my 
lord  the  king  ^a  young  virgin : and 
let  her  stand  before  the  king,  and 
let  her  ^cherish  him,  and  let  her  lie 
in  thy  bosom,  that  my  lord  the  king 
may  get  heat. 

3 So  they  sought  for  a fair  damsel 
throughout  all  the  coasts  of  Is-ra-el, 
and  found  Ab-i-shag  a ®Shu-nam- 
mlte,  and  brought  her  to  the  king. 

4 And  the  damsel  was  very  fair, 
and  cherished  the  king,  and  minis- 
tered to  him:  but  the  king  knew 
her  not. 

5 H Then  ‘*Ad-5-ni-jah  the  son  of 
Hag-gith  exalted  himself,  saying,  I 
will  ®be  king : and  ^ he  prepared 
him  chariots  and  horsemen,  and 
fifty  men  to  run  before  him. 

6 And  his  father  had  not  dis- 
pleased him  ®at  any  time  in  say- 
ing, Why  hast  thou  done  so^  and 
he  also  was  a very  goodly  man; 
^'and  his  mother  bare  him  after 
Ah-sa-l5m. 

7 And  ®he  conferred  with  Jo-ab 
the  son  of  Ze-ru-iah,  and  with  ''  A- 
hi-Athar  the  priest : and  *they  ^fol- 
lowing Ad-6-m-jah  helped  him. 

8 But  Za-dOk  the  priest,  and  Be- 
na-iah  the  son  of  JAhoi-a-da,  and 
Na-than  the  prophet,  and  ^Shim-e-i. 
and  Re-T,  and  ”^the  mighty  men 
which  belonged  to  Da-vid,  were  not 
with  Ad-5-m-jah. 

9 And  Ad-6-ni-jah  slew  sheep  and 
oxen  and  fat  cattle  by  the  stone  of 
Zo-he-leth,  which  is  by  ^En-ro%el, 
and  called  all  his  brethren  the  king’s 
sons,  and  all  the  men  of  Ju-dah  the 
king’s  servants : 

10  But  Na-than  the  prophet,  and 
Be-na-iah,  and  the  mights^-  men, 
and  Sdl-O-mOn  his  brother,  he  called 
not.

11  H Wherefore  Na-than  spake 
unto  Bath-she-ba  the  mother  of 
S0l-5-m5n,  saying.  Hast  thou  not 
heard  that  Ad-O-ni-jah  the  son  of 
“Hag^ith  doth  reign,  and  DaAid 
our  lord  knoweth  it  notl 

12  Now  therefore  come,  let  me,  I 
pray  thee,  give  thee  counsel,  that 
thou  mayest  save  thine  own  life, 
and  the  life  of  thy  son  SoTO-mpn. 

13  Go  and  get  thee  in  unto  king 
DaAid,  and  say  unto  him,  Didst  not 
thou,  my  lord,  O king,  swear  unto 
thine  handmaid,  saying,  ^Assuredly 
Sol-o-m5n  thy  son  shall  reign  after 
me,  and  he  shall  sit  upon  my 
throne  % why  then  doth  Ad-5-ni-jah 
reign  1 

14  Behold,  while  thou  yet  talkest 
there  with  the  king,  I also  will 
come  in  after  thee,  and  ^confirm 
thy  words. 

15  U And  Bath-she-ba  went  in 


unto  the  king  into  the  chamber: 
and  the  king  was  very  old ; and 
Ab-i-shag  the  Shu-nam-mite  minis- 
tered unto  the  king. 

16  And  Bath-she-ba  bowed,  and 
did  obeisance  unto  the  king.  And 
the  king  said,  ^ What  wouldest 
thou'? 

17  And  she  said  unto  him.  My 
lord,  •''thou  swarest  by  the  Lord  thy 
God  unto  thine  handmaid,  saying. 
Assuredly  S6l-5-m5n  thy  son  shall 
reign  after  me,  and  he  shall  sit  up- 
on my  throne. 

18  And  now,  behold,  Ad-5-ni-jah 
reigneth  ; and  now,  ^ my  lord  the 
king,  thou  knowest  it  not: 

19  *And  he  hath  slain  oxen  and 
fat  cattle  and  sheep  in  abundance, 
and  hath  called  all  the  sons  of  the 
king,  and  A-bi-a-thar  the  priest,  and 
Jo-ab  the  captain  of  the  host:  but 
S5l-5-m5n  thy  servant  hath  he  not 
C3/H0ci 

20  And  thou,  my  lord,  O king,  the 
eyes  of  all  Is-ra-el  are  upon  thee, 
that  thou  shouldest  tell  them  v/ho 
shall  sit  on  the  throne  of  my  lord 
the  king  after  him. 

21  Otherwise  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  my  lord  the  king  shall  ” sleep 
with  his  fathers,  that  I and  my 


Solomon  anointed  king.

22  U And,  lo,  while  she  yet  talked 

with  the  king,  Na-than  the  prophet 
also  came  in.  i , , . 

23  And  they  told  the  king,  say- 
ing, Behold  Na-than  the  prophet. 
A.nd  when  he  was  come  in  before 
the  king,  he  bowed  himself  before 
the  king  with  his  face  to  the  ground. 

24  And  Na-than  said.  My  lord,  O 
king,  hast  thou  said,  Ad-5-nidah 
shall  reign  after  me,  and  he  shall 
sit  upon  my  throne'? 

25  ‘*For  he  is  gone  down  this  day, 
and  hath  slain  oxen  and  fat  cattle 
and  sheep  in  abundance,  and  hath 
called  all  the  king’s  sons,  and  the 
captains  of  the  host,  and  A-bi-a-thar 
the  priest;  and,  behold,  they  eat 
and  drink  before  him,  and  say, 
^God^  save  king  Ad-5-m-jah. 

26  But  me,  even  me  thy  servant, 
and  Za-d6k  the  priest,  and  Be-na-iah 
the  son  of  JAhoi-a-da,  and  thy  serv- 
ant S6l-5-m(3n,  hath  he  not  called. 

27  Is  this  thing  done  by  my  lord 
the  king,  and  thou  hast  not  shewed 
it  unto  thy  servant,  who  should  sit 
on  the  throne  of  my  lord  the  king 
after  him*? 

28  U Then  king  Da-vid  answered 
and  said.  Call  me  Bath-she-ba.  And 
she  came  ^into  the  king’s  presence, 
and  stood  before  the  king. 

29  And  the  king  sware,  and  said, 
^As  the  Loud  liveth,  that  hath  re- 
deemed my  soul  out  of  all  distress, 

30  ^Even  as  I sware  unto  thee  by 
the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  saying, 
Assuredly  Sol-5-m5n  thy  son  shall 
reign  after  me,  and  he  shall  sit 
upon  my  throne  in  my  stead  ; even 
so  will  I certainly  do  this  day. 

31  Then  Bath-she-ba  bowed  with 
her  face  to  the  earth,  and  did  rev- 
erence to  the  king,  and  said,  ""Let 
my  lord  king  Da-vid  live  for  ever. 

32  H And  king  Dawid  said,  Call  me 
Za-d5k  the  priest,  and  Na-than  the 
prophet,  and  Be-na-iah  the  son  of 
JAhoiA-da.  And  they  came  before 
the  king. 

33  The  king  also  said  unto  them, 
"Take  with  you  the  servants  of  your 
lord,  and  cause  S6l-e-m5n  my  son 
to  ride  upon  ®mine  own  mule,  and 
bring  him  down  to  "Gi-hen  : 

34  And  let  Za-dhk  the  priest  and 
Na-than  the  prophet  ® anoint  him 
there  king  over  Is-ra-el : and  "blow 
ye  with  the  trumpet,  and  say,  God

35  Then  ye  shall  come  up  after 
him,  that  he  may  come  and  sit 
upon  my  throne ; for  he  shall  be 
king  in  my  stead : and  I have  ap-

pointed  him  to  be  ruler  over  Is-ra-el 
and  over  J u-dah. 

36  And  Be-na-iah  the  son  of  JA 
hoi-a-da  answered  the  king,  and 
said,  A-men' : the  Lord  God  of  my 
lord  the  king  say  so  too. 

37  “As  the  Lord  hath  been  with 
my  lord  the  king,  even  so  be  he 
with  SeTo-mOn,  and  ^ make  his 
throne  greater  than  the  throne  of 
my  lord  king  DaAid.^ 

38  So  Za-dOk  the  priest,  and  Na- 
than the  prophet, /’and  BAna-iah 
the  son  of  Je-hoi-a-da,  and  the 
■Cher-e-thites,  and  the  Pel-e-thites, 
went  down,  and  caused  Sol-5-m5n 
to  ride  upon  king  Da-vid’s  mule, 
and  brought  him  to  Gi-h5n. 

39  And  Za-dok  the  priest  took  an 
horn  of  ®oil  out  of  the  tabernacle, 
and  anointed  S5l-6-m5n.  And  they 
blew  the  trumpet ; '"and  all  the  peo- 
ple said,  God  save  king  Sol-6-m6n. 

40  And  all  the  people  came  up 
after  him,  and  the  people  piped 
with  ®pipes,  and  rejoiced  with  great 
joy,  so  that  the  earth  rent  with  the 
sound  of  them. 

4:1  ^ And  Ad-6-ni-jah  and  all  the 
guests  that  were  with  him  heard  it 
as  they  had  made  an  end  of  eating. 
And  when  Jo-ab  heard  the  sound 
of  the  trumpet,  he  said.  Wherefore 
is  this  noise  of  the  city  being  in  an 
uproar '? 

42  And  while  he  yi^t  spake,  behold, 
J6n-a-than  the  son  of  A-bi-a-thar 
the  priest  came : and  Ad-6-ni-jah 
said  unto  him.  Come  in;  for  /thou 
art  a valiant  man,  and  bringest 
good  tidings. 

43  And  J(3n-a-than  answered  and 
said  to  Ad-5-m-jah,  Verily  our  lord 
king  DaWid  hath  made  S5l-5-m5n 
king. 

44  And  the  king  hath  sent  with 
him  Za-dok  the  priest,  and  Na-than 
the  prophet,  and  BAna-iah  the  son 
of  J e-hoi-a-da,  and  the  -Cher-e-thites, 
and  the  Pel-e-thites,  and  they  have 
caused  him  to  ride  upon  the  king’s 
mule : 

45  And  Za-dok  the  priest  ^ and 
Na-than  the  prophet  have  anointed 
him  king  in  Gi-hen : and  they  are 
come  up  from  thence  rejoicing,  so 
that  the  city  rang  again.  This  is 
the  noise  that  ye  have  heard. 

46  And  also  Soi-6-mOn  ^sitteth  on 
the  throne  of  the  kingdom. 

47  And  moreover  the  king’s  serv- 
ants came  to  bless  our  lord  king 
Da-vid,  saying,  ■“'God  make  the  name 
of  S6l-5-m0n  better  than  thy  name, 
and  make  his  throne  greater  than 
thy  throne.  And  the  king  bowed 
himself  upon  the  bed.

48  And  also  thus  said  the  king, 
Blessed  he  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el, 
which  hath  “given  one  to  sit  on  my 
throne  this  day,  mine  eyes  even 
seeing  it. 

49  And  all  the  guests  that  were 
with  Ad-O-ni-jah  were  afraid,  and 
rose  up,  and  went  every  man  his 
way. 

50  U And  Ad-5-ni-jah  feared  be- 
cause of  S5l-5-mon,  and  arose,  and 
went,  and -^caught  hold  on  the  horns 
of  the  altar. 

51  And  it  was  told  S5l-o-m5n,  say- 
ing, Behold,  Ad-5-ni-jahfearethking 
S5l-5-m5n:  for,  lo,  he  hath  caught 
hold  on  the  horns  of  the  altar,  say- 
ing, Let  king  Sol-O-mOn  swear  unto 
me  to  day  that  he  will  not  slay  his 
servant  with  the  sword. 

52  And  Sol-6-mon  said.  If  he  will 
shew  himself  a worthy  man,  Hhere 
shall  not  an  hair  of  him  fall  to  the 
earth : but  if  wickedness  shall  be 
found  in  him,  he  shall  die. 

53  So  king  S(3l-5-m5n  sent,  and  they 
brought  him  down  from  the  altar. 
And  he  came  and  bowed  himself  to 
king  S5l-(3-m6n : and  Sol-O-mOn  said 
unto  him.  Go  to  thine  house.

thyself  a man ;

years : seven  years  reigned  he  in 
He-brGn.  and  thirty  and  three  years 
reigned  he  in  J Aru-sa-lem. 

12  U Then  sat  S5l-5-m5n  upon  the 
throne  of  Da-vid  his  father ; and  his 
kingdom  was  established  greatly. 

13  ^ And  Ad-5-ni-jah  the  son  of 
Hag^ith  came  to  Bath-she-ba  the 
mother  of  Sol-5-m6n.  And  she  said. 
“Comest  thou  peaceably  1 And  he 
said.  Peaceably. 

14  He  said  moreover,  I have  some- 
what to  say  unto  thee.  And  she 
said.  Say  on. 

15  And  he  said.  Thou  knowest 
that  the  kingdom  was  '^mine,  and 
that  aP  Is-ra-el  set  their  faces  on 
me,  that  I should  reign : howbeit 
the  kingdom  is  turned  about,  and 
is  become  my  brother’s:  for  “it  was 
his  from  the  Lord. 

1 6 And  now  I ask  one  petition  of 
thee,  ^deny  me  not.  And  she  said

20  Then  she  said,  I desire  one 
small  petition  of  thee ; / pray  thee,

said  unto  her,  Ask  on,  my  mother  : 
for  I will  not  say  thee  nay. 

21  And  she  said,  Let  Ab-i-shag  the 
Shu-nam-mite  be  given  to  Ad-6-ni-

22  And  king  S6l-5-m5n  answered 
and  said  unto  his  mother.  And 
why  dost  thou  ask  Abh-shag  the 
Shu-nam-mite  for  Ad-o-ni-jah '?  ask 
for  him  the  kingdom  also ; for  he 
is  mine  elder  brother ; even  for 
him,  and  for  ^'A-bi-a-thar  the  priest, 
and  for  Jo-ab  the  son  of  ZAru-iah.

the  Loed,  saying,  *God  do  so  to  me,

and  set  me  on  the  throne  of  Da-vid 
my  father,  and  who  hath  made  me 
an  house,  as  he  promised,  Ad-6-ni- 
jah  shall  be  put  to  death  this  day. 

25  And  king  S5l-Ani5n  sent  by 
the  hand  of  Be-na-iah  the  son  of 
Je-hoi-a-da ; and  he  fell  upon  him 
that  he  died. 

26  H And  unto  A-bi-a-thar  the 
priest  said  the  king,  Get  thee  to 
^'An-a-th5th,  unto  thine  own  fields; 
for  thou  art  ^worthy  of  death  : but 
I will  not  at  this  time  put  thee  to 
death,  ’’because  thou  barest  the  ark 
of  the  Lord  God  before  DaAid  my 
father,  and  because  *thou  hast  been 
afflicted  in  all  wherein  my  father 
was  afflicted. 

27  So  S6l-5-m5n  thrust  out  A-bi- 
a-thar  from  being  priest  unto  the 
Lord  ; that  he  might  fulfil  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake 
concerning  the  house  of  Edi  in 
Shi-loh. 

28  ^ Then  tidings  came  to  Jo-ab  : 
for  Jo-ab  ^had  turned  after  Ad-5-ni- 
jah,  though  he  turned  not  after 
Ab-sa-l5m.  And  Jo-ab  fled  unto 
the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  and 
“caught  hold  on  the  horns  of  the 
altar. 

29  And  it  was  told  king  S5l-6-m5n 
that  Jo-ab  was  fled  unto  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  Lord  ; and,  behold,  he 
is  by  the  altar.  Then  Sol-5-m6n 
sent  BAnadah  the  son  of  Je-hoi- 
a-da,  saying.  Go,  fall  upon  him. 

30  And  Be-nadah  came  to  the 
tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  and  said 
unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  king, 
Come  forth.  And  he  said.  Nay ;

but  I will  die  here.  And  BAnadah 
brought  the  king  word  again,  say- 
ing, Thus  said  Jo-ab,  and  thus  he 
answered  me. 

31  And  the  kin^  said  unto  him, 
^Do  as  he  hath  said,  and  fall  upon 
him,  and  bury  him ; “that  tbou 
mayest  take  away  the  innocent 
blood,  which  Jo-ab  shed,  from  me, 
and  from  the  house  of  my  father. 

32  And  the  Lord  shall  return  his 
blood  upon  his  own  head,  who  fell 
upon  two  men  more  righteous  ®and 
better  than  he,  and  slew  them  with 
the  sword,  my  father  Da-vid  not 
knowing  thereof,  to>  wit,  -^Ab-ner  the 
son  of  Ner,  captain  of  the  host  of 
Isda-el,  ana  ^Am-a-sa  the  son  of  Je- 
tber,  captain  of  the  host  of  Ju-dah. 

33  Their  blood  shall  therefore  re- 

turn upon  the  head  of  Jo-ab,  and 
'^upon  the  head  of  his  seed  for  ever: 
'but  upon  Da  Aid,  and  upon  his 
seed,  and  upon  his  house,  and  upon 
his  throne,  shall  there  be  peace  for 
ever  from  the  Lord.  ' 

34  So  Be-na-iah  the  son  of  JAhoi- 
a-da  went  up,  and  fell  upon  him, 
and  slew  him : and  he  was  buried 
in  his  own  house  in  the  wilderness. 

35  ^ And  the  king  put  BAna-iah 
the  son  of  JAhoi-a-da  in  his  room 
over  the  host : and  ”Za-dok  the 
priest  did  the  king  put  in  the  room 
of  ® A-bi-a-thar. 

36  IT  And  the  king  sent  and  called 
for  ^ShimA-i,  and  said  unto  him, 
Build  thee  an  house  in  JAruAa-lem, 
and  dwell  there,  and  go  not  forth 
thence  any  whither. 

37  For  it  shall  be,  that  on  the  day 
thou  goest  out,  and  passest  over 
'the  brook  KidAon,  thou  shalt 
know  for  certain  that  thou  shalt 
surely  die : “thy  blood  shall  be 
upon  thine  own  head. 

38  And  ShimA-i  said  unto  the 
king.  The  saying  is  good : as  my 
lord  the  king  hath  said,  so  will  thy 
servant  do.  And  Shim-e-i  dwelt  in 
JAru-sa-lem  many  days. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end 
of  three  years,  that  two  of  the  serv- 
ants of  ShimA-i  ran  away  unto 
^AAhish  son  of  Ma-a-chah  king 
of  Gath.  And  they  told  ShimAu, 
saying.  Behold,  thy  servants  be  in 
Gath. 

40  And  Shim-Ai  arose,  and  saddled 
his  ass,  and  went  to  Gath  to  AAhish 
to  seek  his  servants : and  Shim-e-i 
went,  and  brought  his  servants  from 
Gath. 

41  And  it  was  told  S5l-5-m5n  that 
Shim-6-i  had  gone  from  JAru-sa-lem 
to  Gath,  and  was  come  again. 

42  And  the  king  sent  and  called 


333 


SoloTiion  ohtaineth  wisdom,  I.  KINGS,  8. 


riches,  and  honour. 


for  Shim-e-i,  and  said  unto  him, 
Did  I not  make  thee  to  swear  by 
the  Loed,  and  protested  unto  thee, 
saying,  Know  for  a certain,  on  the 
day  thou  goest  out,  and  walkest 
abroad  any  whither,  that  thou  shalt 
surely  die"?  and  thou  saidst  unto 
me.  The  word  that  I have  heard  is 
good. 

43  Why  then  hast  thou  not  kept 
the  oath  of  the  Loed,  and  the  com- 
mandment that  I have  charged  thee 
with 

44  The  king  said  moreover  to 
Shim-e-i,  Thou^  knowest  ^all  the 
wickedness  which  thine  heart  is 
privy  to,  that  thou  didst  to  DaWid 
my  father : therefore  the  Loed  shall 
^return  thy  wickedness  upon  thine 
own  head ; 

45  And  king  S5l-5-m5n  shall  he 
blessed,  and  ^the  throne  of  DaWid 
shall  be  established  before  the  Loed 
for  ever. 

_ 46  So  the  king  C9mmanded  Be-na- 
iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi-a-da ; which 
went  out,  and  fell  upon  him,  that 
he  died.  And  the  ^kingdom  was 
established  in  the  hand  of  S6l-o- 
mdn. 

CHAPTER  3. 

1 Solomon  marrieth  Pharaoh's  daughter.  3 High  places 
being  in  use,  Solomon  sacrificeth  at  Gibeon.  5 Solomon, 
in  the  choice  which  God  gave  him,  preferring  wisdom, 
obtaineth  wisdom,  riches,  and  honour.  16  His  judgment 
between  the  tivo  harlots. 

AND^  ^S6h(3-m6n  made  affinity 
with  Pha-raoh  king  of  E^ypt, 
and  took  Pha-raoh’s  daughter,  and 
brought  her  into  the  ^city  of  Da- 
vid, until  he  had  made  an  end  of 
building  his  “own  house,  and  *the 
house  of  the  Loed,  and  ^the  wall  of 
J g-rii-sa-lem  round  about. 

2 “Only  the  people  sacrificed  in 
high  places,  because  there  was  no 
house  built  unto  the  name  of  the 
Loed,  until  those  days. 

3 And  Sol-5-m5n  loved  the  Loed, 
® walking  in  the  statutes  of  DaWid 
his  father : only  he  sacrificed  and 
burnt  incense  in  high  places. 

4 And  ^'the  king  went  to  Gib-e-5n 
to  sacrifice  there ; ^for  that  was  the 
great  high  place : a thousand  burnt 
offerings  did  S6l-5-m5n  offer  upon 
that  altar. 

5 IT  * In  Gib-e-6n  the  Loed  appeared 
to  S5l-6-mon  dn  a dream  by  night : 
and  God  said.  Ask  vffiat  I shall  give 
thee. 

6 ’“And  S6l-6-m6n  said.  Thou  hast 
shewed  unto  thy  servant  Da-yid 
my  father  great  ® mercy,  according 
as  he/* walked  before  thee  in  truth, 
and  in  righteousness,  and  in  up- 
rightness of  heart  with  thee;  and 
thou  hast  kept  for  him  this  great 


kindness,  that  thou  “hast  given  him 
a son  to  sit  on  his  throne,  as  it  is 
this  day. 

7 And  now,  O Loed  my  God,  thou 
hast  made  thy  servant  king  instead 
of  DaWid  my  father : *and  I am  but 
a little  child : I know  not  how  ® to 
go  out  or  come  in.  ^ 

8 And  thy  servant  -is  in  the  midst 
of  thy  people  which  thou  ‘^hast 
chosen,  a great  people,  ®that  can- 
not be  numbered  nor  counted  for 
multitude. 

9 -^Give  therefore  thy  servant  an 
^understanding  heart  '*to  judge  thy 
people,  that  I may  ^discern  between 
good  and  bad : for  who  is  able  to 
judge  this  thy  so  great  a people'? 

10  And  the  speech  pleased  the 
Loed,  that  S5l-5-m5n  had  asked  this 
thing. 

11  And  God  said  unto  him^  Be^ 
cause  thou  hast  asked  this  thing, 
and  hast  ’“not  asked  for  thyself 
^long  life  ; neither  hast  asked  riches 
for  thyself,  nor  hast  asked  the  life 
of  thine  enemies;  but  hast  a.sked 
for  thyself  understanding  ^to  dis- 
cern judgment ; 

12  "Behold,  I have  done  according  | 

to  thy  words:  ^lo,  I have  given  thee  i 
a wise  and  an  understanding  heart ; i 
so  that  there  was  none  like  thee  be- 
fore thee,  neither  after  thee  shall 
any  arise  like  unto  thee.^  i 

13  And  I have  also  ’'given  thee  i 
that  which  thou  hast  not  asked,  J 
both  * riches,  and  honour : so  that  i 
there  ^ shall  not  be  any  among  the  ■ 
kings  like  unto  thee  all  thy  days. 

14  And  if  thou  wilt  walk  in  my  ! 
ways,  to  keep  my  statutes  and  my  i 
commandments,  ^as  thy  father  Da-  I 
vid  did  walk,  then  I will  ^lengthen  ^ 
thy  days. 

15  And  S6l-5-m5n "awoke;  and,  be-  ■ 
hold,  it  was  a dream.  And  he  came  ; 
to  J6-ru-sa-lem,  and  stood  before  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Loed, 
and  offered  up  burnt  offerings,  and 
offered  peace  offerings,  and  -^made 
a feast  to  all  his  servants. 

1 6 51  Then  came  there  two  women, 
that  were  harlots,  unto  the  king, 
and  ’stood  before  him. 

17  And  the  one  woman  said,  O 
my  lord,  I and  this  woman  dwell 
in  one  house ; and  I was  dehvered 
of  a child  with  her  in  the  house.  ^ 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  the  third 
day  after  that  I was  delivered,  that 
this  woman  was  delivered  also : and 
we  were  together ; there  was  no 
stranger  with  us  in  the  house,  save 
we  two  in  the  house. 

1 9 And  this  woman’s  child  died  ia 
the  night ; because  she  overlaid  it.

Solomon's  judgment.  I.  KINGS,  4.  Solomon' s chief  officers. 


20  And  she  arose  at  midnight,  and 

took  my  son  from  beside  me,  while 
thine  handmaid  slept,  and  laid  it  in 
her  bosom,  and  laid  her  dead  child 
in  my  bosom. 

21  And  when  I rose  in  the  morn- 
ing to  give  my  child  suck,  behold, 
it  was  dead : but  when  I had  con- 
sidered it  in  the  morning,  behold, 
it  was  not  my  son,  which  I did  bear. 

22  And  the  other  woman  said. 
Nay  ; but  the  living  is  my  son,  and 
the  dead  is  thy  son.  And  this  said. 
No ; but  the  dead  is  thy  son,  and 
the  living  is  my  son.  Thus  they 
spake  before  the  king. 

23  Then  said  the  king.  The  one 
saith.  This  is  my  son  that  liveth, 
and  thy  son  is  the  dead : and  the 
other  saith.  Nay;  but  thy  son  is 
the  dead,  and  my  son  is  the  living. 

24  And  the  king  said,  Bring  me  a 
sword.  And  they  brought  a sword 
before  the  king. 

25  And  the  king  said.  Divide  the 
living  child  in  two,  and  give  half 
to  the  one,  and  half  to  the  other. 

26  Then  spake  the  woman  whose 
the  living  child  was  unto  the  king, 
for  ®her  bowels  ^yearned  upon  her 
son,  and  she  said,  O my  lord,  give 
her  the  living  child,  and  in  no  wise 
slay  it.  But  the  other  said.  Let  it 
be  neither  mine  nor  thine,  but  di- 
vide it. 

27  Then  the  king  answered  and 
said.  Give  her  the  living  child,  and 
in  no  wise  slay  it : she  is  the  mother 
thereof. 

28  And  all  Is-ra-el  heard  of  the 
judgment  which  the  king  had 
ludged  ; and  they  feared  the  king  : 
for  they  saw  that  the  wisdom  of 
God  was  ®in  him,  to  do  judgment.

6r-ites,  and  of  Og  king  of  Ba-shan ; 
and  he  was  the  only  officer  which 
was  in  the  land.  ^ 

20  ^ Ju-dah  and  Is-ra-el  were  many, 
•^as  the  sand  which  is  by  the  sea  in

presents,  and  served  S5T6-m5n  all 
the  days  of  his  life. 

22  ^ And  S5l-5-m5n’s  ® provision

from  Tiph-sah  even  to  Az-zah,  over 
“all  the  kings  on  this  side  the  river : 
and  * he  had  peace  on  all  sides  round 
about  him. 

25  And  Ju-dah  and  Is-ra-el  f dwelt 
^safely,  ® every  man  under  his  vine 
and  under  his  fig  tree,  -^from  Dan 
even  to  Be-er-she-ba,  all  the  days 
of  S(3l-5-m5n. 

26  U And  *S5l-6-m6n  had  forty 
thousand  stalls  of  ^horses  for  his 
chariots,  and  twelve  thousand  horse- 
men. 

27  And  Hhose  officers  provided 
victual  for  king  S0l-p-m6n,  and  for 
all  that  came  unto  king  S(3l-5-mon’s 
table,  every  man  in  his  month : 
they  lacked  nothing. 

28  Barley  also  and  straw  for  the 
horses  and  ^dromedaries  brought 
they  unto  the  place  where  the  offi- 
cers were,  every  man  according  to

29  U And  ” God  gave  S5l-5-m5n 
wisdom  and  understanding  exceed- 
ing much,  and  largeness  of  heart, 
even  as  the  sand  that  is  on  the  sea

30  And  S5l-5-m5n’s  wisdom  ex- 
celled the  wisdom  of  all  the  chil- 
dren "of  the  east  country,  and  all 
^'the  wisdom  of  E-gypt.

on  every  side,  until  the  Lord  put 
them  under  the  soles  of  his  feet. 

4 But  now  the  Lord  my  God  hath 
given  me  "rest  on  every  side,  so 
that  there  is  neither  adversary  nor 
evil  occurrent. 

5 S' And,  behold,  I ‘“^purpose  to  build 
an  house  unto  the  name  of  the  Lord 
my  God,  '‘as  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Da-vid  my  father,  saying.  Thy  son, 
whom  I will  set  upon  thy  throne  in 
thy  room,  he  shall  build  an  house 
unto  my  name. 

6 Now  therefore  command  thou 
that  they  hew  me  ^ cedar  trees  out 
of  Leb-a-n5n ; and  my  servants  shall 
be  with  thy  servants : and  unto  thee 
will  I give  hire  for  thy  servants  ac- 
cording to  all  that  thou  shalt  ^ap- 
point : for  thou  knowest  that  there 

not  among  us  any  that  can  skill 
to  hew  timber  like  unto  the  Si-do- 
ni-ans.  ! 

7 H And  it  came  to  pass,  when  ■ 
Hi-ram  heard  the  words  of  851-5- 
m5n,  that  he  rejoiced  greatly,  and 
said.  Blessed  he  the  Lord  this  day, 
which  hath  given  unto  Da-vid  a 
wise  son  oyer  this  great  people. 

8 And  Hi-ram  sent  to  S5l-5-m5n, 
saying,  I have  ^ considered  the 
things  which  thou  sentest  to  me 
for:  and  I will  do  all  thy  desire 
concerning  timber  of  cedar,  and 
concerning  timber  of  fir. 

9 My  servants  shall  bring  them 
down  from  Leb-a-n5n  unto  the  sea : 
'and  I will  convey  them  by  sea  in 
floats  unto  the  place  that  thou  shalt 
‘^appoint  me,  and  will  cause  them 
to  be  discharged  there,  and  thou 
shalt  receive  them:  and  thou  shalt 
accomplish  my  desire,  ^in  giving 
food  for  my  household. 

10  So  HiAam  gave  S5T5-m5n  cedar 
trees  and  fir  trees  according  to  all 
bis  desire. 

11  “And  S5l-5-m5n  gave  HiAam 
twenty  thousand  ’ measures  of 
wheat  for  food  to  his  household,  j 
and  twenty  measures  of  pure  oil:  I 
tbus  gave  S5l-5-m5n  to  Hl-ram  year 
by  year. 

1 2 And  the  Lord  gave  S5l-5-m5n  | 
wisdom,  '’as  he  promised  him:  and 
there  was  peace  between  Hi-ram 
and  S5l-5-m5n ; and  they  two  made 

a league  together. 

1 3 H And  king  S5T5;m5n  raised  a 
®levy  out  of  all  Is-ra-5l ; and  the 
levy  was  thirty  thousand  men. 

1 4 And  he  sent  them  to  Leb-a-n5n, 
ten  thousand  a month  by  courses : 
a month  they  were  in  Leb-a-n5n, 
and  two  months  at  home : and 

Ad-5-ni-ram  was  over  the  levy. 

15  '‘And  S5l-5-m5n  had  threescore

and  fourscore  thousand  hewers  in

16  Beside  the  chief  of  S5l-6-m5n  s 
officers  which  were  over  the  work, 
three  thousand  and  three  hundred, 
which  ruled  over  the  people  that 
wrought  in  the  work. 

17  And  the  king  commanded,  and 
they  brought  great  stones,  costly 
stones,  ard  * hewed  stones,  to  lay 
the  foundation  of  the  house. 

18  And  S(3l-5-m5n’s  builders  and 
Hi-ram’s  builders  did  hew  them, 
and  the  stonesquarers : so  they 

Prepared  timber  and  stones  to 
uild  the  house. 


CHAPTER  6. 

1 The  building  of  Solomon's  temple.  5 The  chambers 
thereof.  11  God's  promise  unto  it.  15  The  deling  and 
adorning.  23  The  cherubims.  31  The  doors.  36  The 
court.  37  The  time  of  builditig  it. 

AND  -^it  came  to  pass  in  the  four 
A hundred  and  eightieth  year 
after  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  were 
come  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  in 
the  fourth  year  of  S5l-5-m(3n’s  reign 
over  Is-ra-el,  in  the  month  Zif,  which 
is  the  second  month,  that  *he  '^be- 
gan to  build  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

2 And  "the  house  which  king  Sol- 
6-m5n  built  for  the  Lord,  the  length 
thereof  was  threescore  cubits,  and 
the  breadth  thereof  twenty  cubits, 
and  the  height  thereof  thirty  cubits. 

3 And  the  porch  before  the  tem- 
ple of  the  house,  twenty  cubits  was 
the  length  thereof,  according  to  the 
breadth  of  the  house ; and  ten  cu- 
bits was  the  breadth  thereof  before 
the  house. 

4 And  for  the  house  he  made 
"‘windows®  of  narrow  lights. 

5 H And  ®against  the  wall  of  the 
house  he  built  "chambers*^  round 
about,  against  the  walls  of  the 
house  round  about,  both  of  the 
temple  "and  of  the  oracle : and  he 
made  ^chambers  round  about: 

6 The  nethermost  chamber  ^ was 
five  cubits  broad,  and  the  middle 
was  six  cubits  broad,  and  the  third 
was  seven  cubits  broad : for  with- 
out in  the  wall  of  the  house  he 
made  ^narrowed  Vests  round  about, 
that  the  beams  should  not  be  fas- 
tened in  the  walls  of  the  house. 

7 And  ^the  house,  when  it  was  in 
building,  was  built  of  stone  made 
ready  before  it  was  brought  thither : 
so  that  there  was  neither  hammer 
nor  ax  nor  any  tool  of  iron  heard 
in  the  house,  while  it  was  in- 
building.

into  the  third. 

9 ® So  he  built  the  house,  and  fin- 
ished it;  and  covered  the  house 
^with  beams  and  boards  of  cedar. 

10  And  then  he  built  chambers 
against  all  the  house,  five  cubits 
high  : and  they  rested  on  the  house 
with  timber  of  cedar. 

11  ^ And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  S5l-5-m5n,^  saying, 

12  Concerning  this  house  which 
thou  art  in  building,  ‘'if  thou  wilt 
walk  in  my  statutes,  and  execute 
my  judgments,  and  keep  all  my 
commandments  to  walk-in  them; 
then  will  I perform  my  word  with 
thee,  which  I spake  unto  Da-vid 
thy  father : 

13  And  ®I  will  dwell  among  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el,  and  will  not 
/forsake  my  people  Is-ra-el. 

14  '‘So  S5l-5-m5n  built  the  house, 
and  finished  it. 

15  And  he  built  the  walls  of  the 
house  within  with  boards  of  cedar, 
®both  the  floor  of  the  house,  and 
the  walls  of  the  cieling : and  he 
covered  them  on  the  inside  with 
wood,  and  covered  the  floor  of  the 
house  with  planks  of  fir. 

1 6 And  he  built  twenty  cubits  on 
the  sides  of  the  house,  both  the 
floor  and  the  walls  with  boards  of 
cedar : he  even  built  them  for  it 
within,  even  for  the  oracle,  even  for 
the  'most  holy  place. 

1 7 And  the  house,  that  is,  the  tem- 
ple before  it,  was  forty  cubits  long. 

18  And  the  cedar  of  the  house 
within  teas  carved  with  ® knops 
and  ’ open  flowers  : all  was  cedar ; 
there  was  no  stone  seen. 

1 9 And  the  oracle  he  prepared  in 
the  house  within,  to  set  there  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord. 

20  And  the  oracle  in  the  forepart 
ivas  twenty  cubits  in  length,  and 
twenty  cubits  in  breadth,  and  twen- 
ty cubits  in  the  height  thereof : and 
he  overlaid  it  with  ^pure  gold ; and 
so  covered  the  altar  which  was  of 
cedar 

21  So  S6r-5-m5n  overlaid  the  house 
within  with  pure  gold : and  he  made 
a partition  by  the  chains  of  gold  be- 
fore the  oracle ; and  he  overlaid  it 
with  gold. 

22  And  the  whole  house  he  over- 
laid with  gold,  until  he  had  finished 
all  the  house  : also  ^the  whole  altar 
that  was  by  the  oracle  he  overlaid 
with  gold. 

23  51  And  within  the  oracle  "he 
made  two  cher-a^bims  of  olive 
tree,  each  ten  cubits  high.

I.  KINGS,  7. 


The  house  of  Lebanon, 


24  And  five  cubits  was  the  one 
wing  of  the  cher-iib,  and  five  cubits 
the  other  wing  of  the  cher-tib  : from 
the  uttermost  part  of  the  one  wing 
unto  the  uttermost  part  of  the  other 
were  ten  cubits. 

25  And  the  other  cher^ub  was  ten 
cubits : both  the  cher-U-bims  were 
of  one  measure  and  one  size. 

26  The  height  of  the  one  cher-ub 
was  ten  cubits,  and  so  was  it  of  the 
other  cher-ub. 

27  And  he  set  the  ch6r-ii-bims 
within  the  inner  house  ; and  ®they  ^ 
stretched  forth  the  wings  of  the 
cher-U-bims,  so  that  the  wing  of  the 
one  touched  the  one  wall,  and  the 
wing  of  the  other  cher-ub  touched 
the  other  wall ; and  ^ their  wings 
touched  one  another  in  the  midst 
of  the  house. 

28  And  he  overlaid  the  cher-d-bims 
with  gold. 

29  And  he  carved  all  the  walls  of 
the  house  round  about  with  carved 
figures  of  cher-U-bims  and  palm 
trees  and  ®open  flowers,  within  and 
without. 

30  And  the  floor  of  the  house  he 
overlaid  with  gold,  within  and 
without. 

31  H And  for  the  entering  of  the 
oracle  he  made  doors  of  olive  tree : 
the  lintel  and  side  posts  were  ®a 
fifth  part  of  the  wall. 

32  The  ®two  doors  also  were  of 
olive  tree ; and  he  carved  upon 
them  carvings  of  cher-u-bims  and 
palm  trees  and  open  flowers,  and 
overlaid  them  with  gold,  and  spread 
gold  upon  the  cher-U-bims,  and  upon 
the  palm  trees. 

33  So  also  made  he  for  the  door 
of  the  temple  posts  of  olive  tree,  ® a 
fourth  part  of  the  wall. 

34  And  the  two  doors  were  of 
fir  tree : the  ® two  leaves  of  the 
one  door  were  folding,  and  the 
two  leaves  of  the  other  door  were 
folding. 

35  And  he  carved  thereon  cher- 
U-bims  and  palm  trees  and  oijen 
flowers:  and  covered  them  with 
gold  fitted  upon  the  carved  work. 

36  U And  he  built  the  inner  court 
with  three  rows  of  hewed  stone, 
and  a row  of  cedar  beams. 

37  U-^In  the  fourth  year  was  the 
foundation  of  the  house  of  the  Lord 
laid,  in  the  month  Zif : 

38  And  in  the  eleventh  year,  in 
the  month  Bui,  which  is  the  eighth 
month,  was  the  house  finished 
^throughout  all  the  parts  thereof, 
and  according  to  all  the  fashion 
of  it.  So  was  he  seven  years  in 
building  it.

CHAPTER  7. 

1 The  building  of  Solomon’s  house.  2 Of  the  house  of 
Lebanon.  8 Of  the  house  for  Pharaoh's  daughter.  13 
Hiram's  work  for  the  temple. 

But  S6l-e-m5n  was  building  his 
own  house  “thirteen  years,  and 
he  finished  all  his  house. 

2  ^ He  built  also  *the  house  of  the 
forest  of  Leb-a-n5n ; the  length 
thereof  was  an  hundred  cubits, 
and  the  breadth  thereof  fifty  cubits, 
and  the  height  thereof  thirty  cubits, 
upon  four  rows  of  cedar  ijillars,  with 
cedar  beams  upon  the  pillars. 

3  And  it  was  covered  with  cedar 
above  upon  the  ^ beams,  that  lay 
on  forty  five  pillars,  fifteen  in  a 
row. 

4  And  there  were  windows  in  three 
rows,  and  ^ light  was  against  light 
in  three  ranks. 

5  And  all  the /doors  and  posts 
were  square,  with  the  . windows : 
and  light  was  against  light  in  three 
ranks. 

6  U And  he  made  a porch  of  pil- 
lars ; the  length  thereof  was  fifty 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof 
thirty  cubits : and  the  porch  was 
® before  them  : and  the  other  pillars 
and  the  thick  beam  were  '^before 
them. 

7  ^ Then  he  made  a porch  for  the 
throne  where  he  might  judge^  even 
the  porch  of  judgment : and  it  was 
covered  with  cedar  ^from  one  side 
of  the  floor  to  the  other. 

8  H And  his  house  where  he  dwelt 
had  another  court  within  the  porch. 
which  was  of  the  like  work.  Sel- 
5-m6n  made  also  an  house  for  Pha- 
raoh’s daughter,  ^ whom  ^ he  had 
taken  to  wife,  like  unto  this  porch. 

9  All  ^ these  were  of  costly  stones, 
according  to  the  measures  of  hewed 
stones,  sawed  with  saws,  within  and 
without,  even  from  the  foundation 
unto  the  coping,  and  so  on  the  out- 
side toward  the  great  court. 

10  And  the  foundation  was  of  | 
costly  stones,  even  great  stones,  ! 
stones  of  ten  cubits,  and  stones  of  I 
eight  cubits. 

11  And  above  were  costly  stones, 
after  the  measures  of  hewed  stones, 
and  cedars. 

1 2  And  the  great  court  round  about 
with  three  rows  of  hewed  stones, 
and  a row  of  cedar  beams,  both  for 
the  inner  court  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  ^'and  for  the  porch  of  the 
house. 

1 3  H And  king  SsTb-mbn  sent  and 
fetched  ’'Hi-ram  out  of  Tyre. 

14  * He  Teas  ^a  widow’s  son  of  the 
tribe  of  Naph-ta-li,  and  *his  father 
was  a man  of  Tyre,  a worker  in

brass : and  “he  was  filled  with  wis- 
dom, and  understanding,  and  cun- 
ning to  work  all  works  in  brass. 
And  he  came  to  king  S5l-b-mbn, 
and  wrought  all  his  work. 

15  For  he  ^ cast  ‘'two pillars  of  brass, 
of  eighteen  cubits  high  apiece : and 
a line  of  twelve  cubits  did  compass 
either  of  them  about. 

16  And  he  made  two  chapiters  of 
molten  brass,  to  set  upon  the  tops 
of  the  pillars  : the  heignt  of  the  one 
chapiter  was  five  cubits,  and  the 
height  of  the  other  chapiter  was 
five  cubits : 

17  And  nets  of  checker  work,  and 
wreaths  of  chain  work,  for  the 
chapiters  which  were  upon  the  top 
of  the  pillars ; seven  for  the  one 
chapiter,  and  seven  for  the  other 
chapiter. 

18  And  he  made  the  pillars,  and 
two  rows  round  about  upon  the  one 
network,  to  cover  the  chapiters  that 
were  upon  the  top,  with  pomegran- 
ates : and  so  did  he  for  the  other 
chapiter. 

19  And  the  chapiters  that  were 
upon  the  top  of  the  pillars  were  of 
lily  work  in  the  porch,  four  cubits. 

20  And  the  chapiters  upon  the 
two  pillars  had  pomegranates  also 
above,  over  against  the  belly  which 
was  by  the  network  : and  the  pome- 
granates were  ‘^two  hundred  in  rows 
round  about  upon  the  other  chapiter. 

21  ®And  he  set  up  the  pillars  in 
^the  porch  of  the  temple : and  he 
set  up  the  right  pillar,  and  called 
the  name  thereof  ^Ja-«hin:  and  he 
set  up  the  left  pillar,  and  called  the 
name  thereof  ^Bo-az. 

22  And  upon  the  top  of  the  pillars 
was  lily  work : so  was  the  work  of 
the  pillars  finished. 

23  H And  he  made  ^a  molten  sea, 
ten  cubits  ®from  the  one  brim  to  the 
other : it  was  round  all  about,  and 
his  height  was  five  cubits : and  a 
line  of  thirty  cubits  did  compass  it 
round  about. 

24  And  under  the  brim  of  it  round 
about  there  were^  knops  compassing 
it,  ten  in  a cubit,  '‘compassing  the 
sea  round  about : the  knops  were 
•cast  in  two  rows,  when  it  was  cast. 

25  It  stood  upon  twelve  oxen, 
three  looking  toward  the  north, 
and  three  looking  toward  the  west, 
and  three  looking  toward  the  south, 
and  three  looking  toward  the  east : 
and  the  sea  was  set  above  upon 
them,  and  all  their  hinder  parts 
were  inward. 

26  And  it  was  an  hand  breadth 
thick,  and  the  brim  thereof  was 
wrought  like  the  brim  of  a cup.

with  flowers  of  lilies : it  contained 
'’two  thousand  baths. 

27  U And  he  made  ten  bases  of 
brass ; four  cubits  was  the  length 
of  one  base,  and  four  cubits  the 
breadth  thereof,  and  three  cubits 
the  height  of  it. 

28  And  the  work  of  the  bases  wat 
on  this  manner : they  had  borders, 
and  the  borders  were  between  the 
ledges  : 

29  And  on  the  borders  that  were 
between  the  ledges  were  lions,  oxen, 
and  cher-a-bims : and  upon  the 
ledges  there  was  a base  above  : and 
beneath  the  lions  and  oxen  were  cer- 
tain additions  made  of  thin  work. 

30  And  every  base  had  four  brasen 
wheels,  and  plates  of  brass : and 
the  four  corners  thereof  had  under- 
setters ; under  the  laver  were  under- 
setters molten,  at  the  side  of  every 
addition. 

31  And  the  mouth  of  it  within  the 
chapiter  and  above  was  a cubit : but 
the  mouth  thereof  was  round  after 
the  work  of  the  base,  a cubit  and 
an  half : and  also  upon  the  mouth 
of  it  were  gravings  with  their  bor- 
ders, foursquare,  not  round. 

32  And  under  the  borders  were 
four  wheels ; and  the  axletrees  of 
the  wheels  were  '^joined  to  the  base : 
and  the  height  of  a^  wheel  was  a 
cubit  and  half  a cubit. 

33  And  the  work  of  the  wheels 
was  like  the  work  of  a chariot 
wheel : their  axletrees,  and  their 
naves,  and  their  felloes,  and  their 
spokes,  ivere  all  molten. 

34  And  there  ivere  four  underset- 
ters to  the  four  corners  of  one  base : 
and  the  undersetters  were  of  the 
very  base  itself. 

35  And  in  the  top  of  the  base  was 
there  a round  compass  of  half  a 
cubit  high : and  on  the  top  of  the 
base  the  ledges  thereof  and  the 
borders  thereof  were  of  the  same. 

36  For  on  the  plates  of  the  ledges 
thereof,  and  on  the  borders  thereof, 
he  graved  cher-a-bims,  lions,  and 
palm  trees,  according  to  the  ® pro- 
portion of  every  one,  and  additions 
round  about. 

37  After  this  manner  he  made  the 
ten  bases  : all  of  them  had  one  cast- 
ing, one  measure,  and  one  size. 

38  ^ Then  *made  he  ten  la  vers  of 
brass : one  laver  contained  forty 
baths : and  every  laver  was  four 
cubits : and  upon  every  one  of  the 
ten  bases  one  laver. 

39  And  he  put  five  bases  on  the 
right  ’side  of  the  liouse,  and  five  on 
the  left  side  of  the  house:  and  he 
set  the  sea  on  the  right  side  of  the

40  ^ And  ^Hi-ram  made  the  la- 
yers, and  the  shovels,  and  the  ba- 
sons. So  Hi-ram  made  an  end  of 
doing  all  the  work  that  he  made 
king  Sol-(5-m5n  for  the  house  of 
the  Lord  : 

41  The  two  pillars,  and  the  two 
bowls  of  the  chapiters  that  were 
on  the  top  of  the  two  pillars ; and 
the  two  ‘^networks,  to  cover  the  two 
bowls  of  the  chapiters  which  were 
upon  the  top  of  the  pillars; 

42  And  four  hundred  pomegran- 
ates for  the  two  networks,  even 
two  rows  of  pomegranates  for  one 
network,  to  cover  the  two  bowls 
of  the  chapiters  that  were  ^upon 
the  pillars ; 

43  And  the  ten  bases,  and  ten 
lavers  on  the  bases ; 

44  And  one  sea,  and  twelve  oxen 
under  the  sea ; 

45  ^ And  the  pots,  and  the  shovels, 
and  the  basons : and  all  these  ves- 
sels, which  Hi-ram  made  to  king 
S5l-5-m5n  for  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
were  of  ^ bright  brass. 

46  Hn  the  plain  of  Jor-dan  did  the 
king  cast  t^liem,  ®in  the  clay  ground 
between  ”Su€^5th  and  "Zar-than. 

47  And  Sol-o-m5n  left  all  the  ves- 
sels unweighed,  ® because  they  were 
exceeding  many : neither  was  the 
weiglit  of  the  brass  found  out. 

48  And  S6T6-mon  made  all  the 
vessels  that  pertained  unto  the 
house  of  the  Lord  : ^the  altar  of 
gold,  and  '"the  table  of  gold,  where- 
upon *the  shewbread  was, 

49  And  the  candlesticks  of  pure 
gold,  five  on  the  right  side,  ana  five 
on  the  left,  before  the  oracle,  with 
the  flowers,  and  the  lamps,  and  the 
tongs  of  gold, 

50  And  the  bowls,  and  the  snuffers, 
and  the  basons,  and  the  spoons,  and 
the  ^censers  of  pure  gold ; and  the 
hinges  of  gold,  both  for  the  doors 
of  the  inner  house,  the  most  holy 
place,  and  for  the  doors  of  the 
house,  to  wit,  of  the  temple. 

51  So  was  ended  all  the  work 
that  king  S5l-6-mQn  made  for  the 
house  of  the  Lord.  And  S5T5-m5n 
brought  in  the  ^things  “which  Da- 
vid his  father  had  dedicated ; even 
the  silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the 
vessels,  did  he  put  among  the  treas- 
ures of  the  house  of  the  Lord.

sa-lem,  “that  they  might  bring  up 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
*out  of  the  city  of  Da-vid,  which  is 
Zi-6n. 

2 And  all  the  men  of  Is-ra-6l 
assembled  themselves  _ unto  king 
SoTO-mOn  at  the  H’east  in  the  month 
Eth-a-nim,  which  is  the  seventh 
month. 

3 And  all  the  elders  of  Is-ra-el  came, 
®and  the  priests  took  up  the  ark. 

4 And  they^  brought  up  the  ark 
of  the  Lord,  •'"'and  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  and  all  the  holy 
vessels  that  were  in  the  tabernacle, 
even  those  did  the  priests  and  the 
Le-vites  bring  up. 

5 And  king  Sol-(3-m5n,  and  all  the 
congregation  of  Is-ra-el,  that  were 
assembled  unto  him,  wer6  with  him 
before  the  ark,  ^sacrificing  sheep 
and  oxen,  that  could  not  be  told 
nor  numbered  for  multitude. 

6 And  the  priests  * brought  in  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
unto  *his  place,  into  the  oracle  of 
the  house,  to  the  most  holy  place, 
even  under  the  wings  of  the  cher- 
ti-bims. 

7 For  the  cher-fi-bims  spread  forth 
their  two  wings  over  the  place  of 
the  ark,  and  the  cher-fi-bims  cov- 
ered the  ark  and  the  staves  thereof 
above. 

8 And  they  ^ drew  out  the  staves, 
that  the  ®ends  of  the  staves  were 
seen  out  in  the  ^ holy  place  before 
the  oracle,  and  they  were  not  seen 
without:  and  there  they  are  unto 
this  day. 

9 * There  was  nothing  in  the  ark 
“ save  the  two  tables  of  stone,  which 
Mo-ses  ^put  there  at  Ho-reb,  ^when^ 
the  Lord  made  a covenant  with  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el,  when  they  came 
out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
priests  were  come  out  of  the  holy 
place,  that  the  cloud  "'filled  the 
house  of  the  Lord, 

11  So  that  the  priests  could  not 
stand  to  minister  because  of  the 
cloud : for  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
had  filled  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

12  ^ *Then  spake  S5l-5-m5n,  The 
Lord  said  that  he  would  dwell  ‘'in

13  I have  surely  built  thee  an

for  thee  to  abide  in  for  ever. 

14  And  the  king  turned  his  face 
about,  and  -^blessed  all  the  congre-

15  And  he  said,  “Blessed  he  the 

Lord  God  of  Is-ra-6l,  which  ^ spake 
with  his  mouth  unto  Da-vid  my 
father,  and  hath  with  his  hand  tul-

16  Since  the  day  that  I brought 
forth  my  people  Is-ra-el  out  of 
E-gypt,  I chose  no  city  out  ot  all 
the  tribes  of  Is-ra-el  to  build  an 
house,  that  ^my  name  might  be 
therein;  but  I chose  -^Da-vid  to  be 
over  my  people  Is-ra-el. 

17  And  ^it  was  in  the  heart  ot 

Da-vid  my  father  to  build  an  house 
for  the  name  of  the  Lord  God  of 
Ish-a-6l.  , 1 

18  *And  the  Lord  said  unto  Da-yid 
my  father.  Whereas  it  was  in  thine 
heart  to  build  an  house  unto  my 
name,  thou  didst  well  that  it  was 
in  thine  heart. 

19  Nevertheless  ’"thou  shalt  not 
build  the  house ; but  thy  son  that 
shall  come  forth  out  of  thy  loins,  he 
shall  build  the  house  unto  my  name. 

20  And  the  Lord  hath  performed 
his  word  tbat  he  spake,  and  I am 
risen  up  in  the  room  of  DaWid  my 
father,  and  sit  on  the  throne  of  Is- 
ra-el,  "as  the  Lord  promised,  and 
have  built  an  house  for  the  name 
of  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el. 

21  And  I have  set  there  a place 
for  the  ark,  wherein  is  «the  cove 
nant  of  the  Lord,  which  he  made 
with  our  fathers,  when  he  brought 
them  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt. 

22  H And  Sol-o-mdn  stood  before 
*the  altar  of  the  Lord  in  the  pres- 
ence of  all  the  congregation  of 
Is-ra-6l,  and  “spread  forth  his  hands 
toward  beaven : 

23  And  he  said.  Lord  God  of  Is 
ra-6l,  * there  is  no  God  like  thee,  in 
heaven  above,  or  on  earth  beneath, 
J'who  keepest  covenant  and  mercy

thee  with  all  their  heart :

with  thy  mouth,  and  hast  fulfilled 
it  witb  thine  hand,  as  it  is  this  day.

ra-6l,  keep  with  thy  servant  DaWid 
my  father  that  thou  promisedst 
him,  saying,  ** There®  shall  not  fail

children  take  heed  to  their  way, 
that  they  walk  before  me  as  thou 
bast  walked  before  me.  ^ 

26  And  now,  O God  of  Is-ra-6l,  let 
thy  word,  I pray  thee,  be  verined,

ant Da-vid  my  father.

of  peace  offerings,  which  he  offered 
unto  the  Lord,  two  and  twenty 
thousand  oxen,  and  an  hundred

then  king  SoT_5-m6n  gave  HiHam 
twenty  cities  in  the  land  of  Gal- 
i-lee. 

12  And  HiHam  came  out  from 
Tyre  to  see  the  cities  which  S5l- 
5-m5n  had  given  him  ; and  they 
^pleased  him  not. 

13  And  he  said.  What  cities  are 
these  which  thou  hast  given  me, 
my  brother'?  “And  he  called  them 
the  land  of  ^-Ga-bul  unto  this  day. 

14  And  HiHam  sent  to  the  king 
sixscore  talents  of  gold. 

15  ^ And  this  is  the  reason  of  ^the 
levy  which  king  S5l-6-m5n  raised ; 
for  to_  build  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  his  own  house,  and  ''MilTo,  and 
the  wall  of  Je-ru^a-lem,  and  “Ha' 
z6r,  and  “Me_-gid-d6,  and  •''Ge-zer. 

16  For  PhaHadh  king  of  E-gypt 
had  gone  up,  and  taken  Ge-zer,  and 
burnt  it  with  fire,  '‘and  slain  the 
■Ga-naan-ites  that  dwelt  in  the  city, 
and  given  it  for  a present  unto  his 
daughter,  Sol-d-mdn’s  wife.

^desired  to  build  in  JAru-sa-lem, 
and  in  Leb-a-nOn,  and  in  all  the

20  all  the  people  that  were 
left  of  the  Am-or-ites,  Hit-tites, 
Per4z-zites,  HiAites,  and  Jgb-u-

21  Their  children  ‘^that  were  left 
after  them  in  the  land,  ®whom  the 
children  of  IsAa-el  also  were  not 
able  utterly  to  destroy,  ^upon  those 
did  S(3l-6-mOn  levy  a tribute  of 

bondservice  unto  this  day. 

22  But  of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
did  S5l-5-m5n  ‘make  no  bondmen : 
but  they  were  men  of  war,  and  his 
servants,  and  his  princes,  and  his 
captains,  and  rulers  of  his  chariots, 
and  his  horsemen. 

23  These  were  the  chief  of  the 
officers  that  were  over  Sol-5-m5n’s 
work,  *five  hundred  and  fifty 
which  bare  rule  over  the  people 
that  wrought  in  the  work. 

24  ^ But  PhaAaoh’s  daughter 
came  up  out  of  the  city  of  DaAid 
unto  ‘‘her  house  which  Sol-o-mon 
had  built  for  her : " then  did  he 
build  MihlO. 

25  H «And  three  times  in  a year 
did  Sol-C-m5n  offer  burnt  offerings 
and  peace  offerings  upon  the  altar 
which  he  built  unto  the  Lord,  and 
he  burnt  incense  *^upon  the  altar 
that  was  before  the  Lord.  So  he 
finished  the  house.

she  was  come  to  S5l-5-m5n,  she  com- 
muned with  him  of  all  that  was  in 
her  heart. 

3 And  S5l-5-m5n  told  her  all  her 
questions : there  was  not  any  thing 

hid  from  the  king,  which  he  told 
ber  not. 

4 And  when  the  queen  of  She-ba 
had  seen  all  S5l-5-mon’s  wisdom, 
and  the  house  that  he  had  built, 

5 And  the  meat  of  his  table,  and 
the  sitting  of  his  servants,  and  the 
^attendance  of  his  ministers,  and 
their  apparel,  and  his  ^cupbearers, 
•«'and  his  ascent  by  which  he  went 
up  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord; 
there  was  no  more  spirit  in  her. 

6 And  she  said  to  the  king.  It 
was  a true  ® report  that  I heard  in 
mine  own  land  of  thy  ®acts  and  of 
thy  wisdom. 

7 Howbeit  I believed  not  the 
words,  until  I came,  and  mine  eyes 
had  seen  it:  and,  behold,  the  half 
was  not  told  me : Hhy  wisdom 
and  prosperity  exceedeth  the  fame 
which  I heard. 

8 * Happy  are  thy  men,  happy  are 
these  thy  servants,  which  stand 
continually  before  thee,  and  that 
hear  thy  wisdom. 

9 ^Blessed  be  the  Lord  thy  God, 
which  delighted  in  thee,  to  set  thee 
on  the  throne  of  Is-ra-el : because 
the  Lord  loved  Is-ra-el  for  ever, 
therefore  made  he  thee  king,  ‘‘to 
do  judgment  and  justice. 

10  And  she  ®gave  the  king  an  hun- 
dred and  Wenty  talents  of  gold,  and 
of  spices  very  great  store,  and  pre- 
cious stones : there  came  no  more 
such  abundance  of  spices  as  these 
which  the  queen  of  She-ba  gave  to 
king  S5l-5-m0n. 

1 1 '‘'And  the  navy  also  of  Hi- ram, 


that  brought  gpffi  from  O-phir, 
infi 


brought  in  from  O-phir  great  plenty 
of  ^ al-mug  trees,  and  precious 
stones. 

12  “And  the  king  made  of  the 
al-miig  trees  pillars  for  the  house 
of  tbe  Lord,  and  for  the  king’s 
house,  harps  also  and  psalteries  for 
singers : there  came  no  such  *al-mug 
trees,  nor  were  seen  unto  this  day. 

13  And  king  S5l-5-m6n  gave  unto 

the  queen  of  She-ba  all  her  desire, 
whatsoever  she  asked,  beside  that 
which  S5l-b-m5n  gave  her  ^of  his 
royal  bounty.  So  she  turned  and 
went  to  her  own  country,  she  and 
her  servants.  , , t 

14  51  Now  the  weight  of  gold  that 
came  to  Sol-6-m6n  in  one  year  was 
six  hundred  threescore  and  six  tal- 
ents of  gold,

15  Beside  that  he  had  of  the  mer-

to  one  target. 

17  And  he  made  ‘'three  hundred 
shields  of  beaten  gold  ; three  pound 
of  gold  went  to  one  shield  : and  the 
king  put  them  in  the  house  of  the 
forest  of  Leb-a-n5n. 

18  H ^Moreover  the  king  made  a 
great  throne  of  ivory,  and  overlaid 
it  with  the  best  gold. 

19  The  throne  had  six  steps,  and 
the  top  of  the  throne  was  round 
^behind  ; and  there  were  ® stays  on 
either  side  on  the  place  of  the  seat, 
and  two  lions  stood  beside  the 
stays. 

20  And  twelve  lions  stood  there 
on  the  one  side  and  on  the  other 
upon  the  six  steps : there  was  not 
®the  like  made  in  any  kingdom. 

21  ^ *And  all  king  SOl-h-mOn’s 
drinking  vessels  were  of  gold,  and 
all  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  the 
forest  of  Leb-a-nOn  were  of  pure 
gold  ; '^none  were  of  silver : it  was 
nothing  accounted  of  in  the  days  of 
S5l-5-m5n. 

22  For  the  king  had  at  sea  a navy 
of  "Thar-shish  with  the  navy  of  Hi- 
ram : once  in  three  years  came  the 
navy  of  Thar-shish,  bringing  gold, 
and  silver,  ® ivory,  and  apes,  and 
p0H»cocks 

23  So  ^king  S5l-6-m5n  exceeded 
all  the  kings  of  the  earth  for  riches 
and  for  wisdom. 

24  ^ And  all  the  earth  ^sought  to 
S5l;5-m(3n,  to  hear  his  wisdom, 
which  God  had  put  in  his  heart. 

25  And  they  brought  every  man 
his  present,  vessels  of  silver,  and 
vessels  of  gold,  and  garments,  and 
armour,  and  spices,  horses,  and 
mules,  a rate  year  by  year. 

26  ^ ^And  Sol-5-m5n  “gathered  to- 
gether chariots  and  horsemen  : and 
he  had  a thousand  and  four  hun- 


dred chariots,  and  twelve  thousand 
horsemen,  whom  he  bestowed  in 
the  cities  for  chariots,  and  with  the 
i king  at  J6-ru-sa-l6m. 

27  “And  the  king  ^made  silver  to 
I he  in  Je-ru-sa-16m  as  stones,  and 
I cedars  made  he  to  be  as  the  syco- 
' more  trees  that  are  in  the  vale,  for 
I abundance. 

28  51  *And^  S5F5-m5n  had  horses 
brought  out  of  E-gypt,  and  ‘'linen 
yarn : the  king’s  merchants  received 
the  linen  yarn  at  a price.

But  ®king  S6l-5-m5n  loved  -^many

of  the_  Mo-ab-ites,  Am-m6n-ites, 
E-d5m-ites,  Zi-do-nl-ans,  and  Hit- 
tites ; ^ 

2 Of  the  nations  concerning  which 
the  Lord  said  unto  the  children  of 
Is-ra-ei,  I’^e  shall  not  go  in  to  them, 
neither  shall  they  come  in  unto 
you : for  surely  they  will  turn 
away  your  heart  after  their  gods: 
S5l-5-m5n  clave  unto  these  in  love. 
3 And  he  had  seven  hundred 
wives,  princesses,  and  three  hun- 
dred concubines : and  his  wives 
turned  away  his  heart. 

4 For  it  came  to  pass,  when  S5l- 
5-m5n  was  old,  ^that  his  wives 
turned  away  his  heart  after  bther 
gods : and  his  ^ heart  was  not  per- 
fect with  the  Lord  his  God,  “‘as 
was  the  heart  of  Da-vid  his  father. 
5 For  S5l-6-m6n  went  after  ‘'Ash- 
t5-r6th  the  goddess  of  the  Zi-do-m- 
ans,  and  after  ®Mil-c5m  the  abom- 
ination of  the  Am-mCn-ites. 

6  And  Sc3l-5-m5n  did  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  and  ^went  not 
fully  after  the  Lord,  as  did  Da-vid 
his 

7  ‘^Then  did  S5l-5-m5n  build  an 
high  place  for  “-Ghe-mSsh,  the 
abomination  of  Mo-ab,  in  Hhe  hill 
that  is  before  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  for 
Mo-leeh,  the  abomination  of  the 
children  pf  Am-mpn. 

8  And  likewise  did  he  for  all  his 
strange  wives,  which  burnt  incense 
and  sacrificed  unto  their  gods. 

9  51  And  the  Lord  was  angry  with 
S5l-5-m5n,  because  *his  heart  was 
turned  from  the  Lord  God  of  Is- 
ra-el,  ^ which  had  appeared  unto 
him  twice. 

10  And  ^had  commanded  him  con- 
cerning this  thing,  that  he  should 
not  go  after  other  gods:  but  he 
kept  not  that  which  the  Lord  com- 
manded. 

11  Wherefore  the  Lord  said  unto 
S5l-5-m6n,  Forasmuch  as  this  ®is 
done  of  thee,  and  thou  hast  not 
kept  my  covenant  and  my  statutes, 
which  1 have  commanded  thee,

will  surely  rend  the  kingdom  from 
thee,  and  will  give  it  to  thy  servant. 

12  Notwithstanding  in  thy  days  I 
will  not  do  it  for  Da-vid  thy  father’s 
sake : hut  I will  rend  it  out  of  the 
hand  of  thy  son. 

13  ^Howbeit  I will  not  rend  away 
all  the  kingdom;  hut  will  give  ®one 
tribe  to  thy  son  for  Da-yid  my  serv- 
ant’s sake,  and  for  Je-ru-sa-l6m’s 
sake  ® which  I have  chosen. 

14  U And  the  Lord -^stirred  up  an 
adversary  unto  S5l-5-m0n,  Ha-dad 
the  E-d5m-ite  : he  was  of  the  king’s 
seed  in  E-d5m. 

15  ^ For  it  came  to  pass,  when  Da- 
vid was  in  E-dOm,  and  Jo-ab  the 
captain  of  the  host  was  gone  up 
to  bury  the  slain,  *‘after  he  had 
smitten  every  male  in  _E-d5m ; 

16  (For  six  months  did  Jo-ab  re- 
main there  with  all  Is-ra-el,  until  he 
had  cut  off  every  male  in  E-dOm  :) 

_1 7 That  Ha-dad  fled,  he  and  certain 
E-d5m-ites  of  his  father’s  servants 
with  him,  to  go  into  E-gypt ; Ha- 
dad  heing  yet  a little  child. 

18  And  they  arose  out  of  Mid-i-an, 
and  came  to  Pa-ran  : and  they  took 
men  with  them  out  of  Pa-ran,  and 
they  carne  to  E-gypt,  unto  Pha-raoh 
king  of  E-gypt ; wmich  gave  him  an 
house,  and  appointed  him  victuals, 
and  gave  him  land. 

^ 1 9 And  Ha-dad  found  great  favour 
in  the  sight  of  Pha-raoh,  so  that  he 
gave  him  to  wife  the  sister  of  his 
own  wife,  the  sister  of  Tah-pe-nes 
the  queen. 

20  And  the  sister  of  Tah-p6-nes 
bare  him  Ge-nu-bath  his  son,  whom 
Tah-pe-nes  weaned  in  Pha-raoh’s 
house  : and  Ge-nu-bath  was  in  Pha- 
raoh’s household  among  the  sons  of 
Pha-raoh. 

21  ®And  when  Ha-dad  heard  in 
F-gypt  that  Da-vid  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  that  Jo-ab  the  captain 
of  the  host  was  dead.  Ha-dad  said 
to  Pha-raoh,  Let  me  depart,  that  I 
may  go  to  mine  own  country. 

22  Then  Pha-raoh  said  unto  him. 
But  what  hast  thou  lacked  with  me, 
that,  behold,  thou  seekest  to  go  to 
thine  own  country  1 And  he  an- 
swered, ® Nothing:  howbeit  let  me 
go  in  any  wise. 

23  H And  God  stirred  him  up  an- 
other adversary,  Re-z6n  the  son  of 
E-li-a-dah,  which  fled  from  his  lord 
^Had-ad-e-zer  king  of  Zo-bah  : 

24  And  he  gathered  men  unto  him, 
and  became  captain  over  a band, 
•"when  DaMd  slew  them  of  Zo-hdh : 
and  they  went  to  Da-mas-eus,  and 
dwelt  therein,  and  reigned  in  Da- 
mascus. 


25  And  he  was  an  adversary  to 
IsCa-el  all  the  days  of  S5l-5-m5n. 
beside  the  mischief  that  HaCad 
did:  and  he  abhorred  IsCa-el,  and 
reigned  over  Syr-i-a. 

26  H And  *Jer-6-bo-am  the  son  o£ 
Ne-bat,  an  EphCath-ite  of  Zer-e-da, 
S5l-5-m6n’s  servant,  whose  mother’s 
name  ivas  Ze-ruCh,  a widow  wo- 
man, even  he  ‘‘lifted  up  his  hand 
against  the  king. 

27  And  this  was  the  cause  that 
he  lifted  up  his  hand  against  the 
king  ^,S5l-5-m6n  built  Mil-16,  and 
Repaired  the  breaches  of  the  city 
of  DaCid  his  father. 

28  And  the  man  J6r-5-bo-am  was 
a mighty  man  of  valour : and  S61-6- 
m6n  seeing  the  young  man  that  he 
^was  industrious,  he  made  him  ruler 
over  all  the  ^charge  of  the  house  of 
Jo-seph. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass  at  that 
time  when  Jer-5-boCm  went  out 
of  Je-ru-sa-lem,  that  the  prophet 
*A-hi-jah  the  Shi-l5-nite  found  him 
in  the^  way ; and  he  had  clad  him- 
self with  a new  garment;  and  they 
two  ivere  alone  in  the  field : 

30  And  A-hi-jah  caught  the  new 
garment  that  was  on  him,  and  ‘rent 
it  in  twelve  pieces ; 

31  And  he  said  to  Jer-6-bo-am, 
Take  thee  ten  pieces:  for  ”*'thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  lsCa-6l, 
Behold,  I will  rend  the  kingdom 
out  of  the  hand  of  S5l-6-m5n,  and 
will  give  ten  tribes  to  thee; 

32  (But  he  shall  have  one  tribe  for 
my  servant  DaAid’s  sake,  and  for 
J6-ru-sa-lem’s  sake,  the  city  which 
I have  chosen  out  of  all  the  tribes 
of  IsCa-el:) 

33  ” Because  that  they  have  for- 
saken me,  and  have  worshipped 
AshC5-r6th  the  goddess  of  the  Zi- 
doCi-ans,  -Ghe-mSsh  the  god  of  the 
Mo-ab-ites,  and  Mil-eom  the  god  of 
the  children  of  Am-m5n,  and  have 
not  walked  in  my  ways,  to  do  that 
which  is  right  in  mine  eyes,  and  to 
keep  my  statutes  and_  my  judg- 
ments, as  did  Da-yid  his  father. 

34  Howbeit  I will  not  take  the 
whole  kingdom  out  of  his  hand : 
but  I will  make  him  prince  all  the 
days  of  his  life  for  DaCid  my  serv- 
ant’s sake,  whom  I chose,  because 
he  kept  my  commandments  and  my 
statutes : 

35  But  will  take  the  kingdom 
out  of  his  son’s  hand,  and  will  give 
it  unto  thee,  even  ten  tribes. 

36  And  unto  his  son  will  I give 
one  tribe,  that  *DaCid  my  servant 
may  have  a ®light  alway  before  me 
in  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  the  city  which  I

there. 

37  And  I will  take  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  reign  according  to  all  that  thy 
soul  desireth,  and  shalt  be  king  over 
Is-ra-el. 

38  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  wilt 
hearken  unto  all  that  I command 
thee,  and  wilt  walk  in  my  ways, 
and  do  that  is  right  in  my  sight,  to 
keep  my  statutes  and  my  command- 
ments, as  Da-vid  my  servant  did: 
that  “I  will  be  with  thee,  and /’build 
thee  a sure  house,  as  I built  for 
DaWid,  and  will  give  Is-ra-el  unto 
thee. 

39  And  I will  for  this  afflict  the 
seed  of  Da-vid,  but  not  for  ever. 

40  Sol-O-mOn  sought  therefore  to 
kill  Jer-6-bo-am.  And  Jer-6-bo-am 
arose,  and  fled  into  E%ypt,  unto 
Shi-shak  king  of  E-gyp t.  and  was  in 
E-gypt  until  the  death  of  S5l-0-m6n. 

41  U And  ®the  rest  of  the  \acts  of 
S(3l-5-mOn,  and  all  that  he  did,  and 
his  wisdom,  are  they  not  written  in 
the  book  of  the  acts  of  S(3l-5-m5n  ? 

42  ‘^And  the  Hime  that  S5l-5-m5n 
reigned  in  Je-ru-sa-lem  over  all 
Is-ra-6l  was  forty  years. 

43  ®And  S5l-5-m0n  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  in  the  city 
of  Da-vid  his  father : and/E,e-h6- 
bo-am  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  12. 

1 The  Israelites,  assemhled,  at  Shechem  to  <yrovm  Rehohoam, 
by  Jeroboam  make  a suit  of  relaxation  unto  him.  6 Re- 
hoboam  answereth  them  roughly.  16  Ten  tribes  revolt, 
20  and  make  Jeroboam  their  king. 

AND  ^Re-h6-bo-am  went  to  She- 
ehgm:  for  all  Is-ra-el  were  come 
to  She-chem  to  make  him  king. 

2 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  '"Jgr- 
0-bo-am  the  son  of  Ne-bat,  who  was 
yet  in  'E-gypt,  heard  of  it,  (for  he 
was  fled  from  the  presence  of  king 
S5T6-mon,  and  Jer-5-bo-am  dwelt 
in  E-gypt ;) 

3 That  they  sent  and  called  him. 
And  J er-O-bo-am  and  all  the  congre- 
gation of  Is-ra-6l  came,  and  spake 
unto  Re-hO-bo-am,  saying, 

4 Thy  father  made  our  ""yoke  griev- 
ous: now  therefore  make  thou  the 
grievous  service  of  thy  father,  and 
his  heavy  yoke  which  he  put  upon 
us,  lighter,  and  we  will  serve  thee. 

5 And  he  said  unto  them.  Depart 
yet /or  three  days,  then  come  again 
to  me.  And  the  people  departed. 

6 H And  king  Re-hO-bo-am  con- 
sulted with  the  old  men,  that  stood 
before  Sol-5-mOn  his  father  while  he 
yet  lived,  and  said.  How  do  ye  advise

this  people  this  day,  and  wilt  serve 
them,  and  answer  them,  and  speak 
:ood  words  to  them,  then  they  will 
>e  thy  servants  for  ever. 

8 But  he  forsook  the  counsel  of 
the  old  mxon,  which  they  had  given 
him,  and  consulted  with  the  young 
men  that  were  grown  up  with  him, 
and  which  stood  before  him : 

9 And  he  said  unto  them.  What 
counsel  give  ye  that  we  may  an- 
swer this  people,  who  have  spoken 
to  me,  saying.  Make  the  yoke  which 
thy  father  did  put  upon  us  lighter  1 

10  And  the  young  men  that  were 
grown  up  with  him  spake  unto  him, 
saying.  Thus  shalt  thou  speak  unto 
this  people  that  spake  unto  thee, 
saying.  Thy  father  made  pur  yoke 
heavy,  but  make  thou  it  lighter 
unto  us;  thus  shalt  thou  say  un- 
to them,  My  little  finger  shall  be 
thicker  than  my  father’s  loins. 

1 1 And  now  whereas  my  father  did 
lade  you  with  a heavy  yoke,  I will 
add  to  your  yoke : my  father  hath 
chastised  you  with  whips,  but  I will 
chastise  you  with  scorpions. 

12  H So  Jer-O-bo-am  and  all  the 
people  came  to  Re-h5-bo-am  the 
third  day,  as  the  king  had  ap- 
pointed, saying.  Come  to  me  again 
the  third  day. 

13  And  the  king  answered  the  peo- 
ple ^roughly,  and  forsook  the  old 
men’s  counsel  that  they  gave  him ; 

14  And  spake  to  them  after  the 
counsel  of  the  young  men,  saying. 
My  father  made  your  yoke  heavy, 
and  I will  add  to  your  yoke:  my 
father  also  chastised  you  with  whips, 
but  I will  chastise  you  with  scor- 
pions. 

1 5 Wherefore  the  king  hearkened 
not  unto  the  people;  for  *the  cause 
was  from  the  Lord,  that  he  might 
perform  his  saying,  which  the  Lord 
* spake  by  A-hi-jah  the  Shi-l5-nite 
unto  Jer-5-bo-am  the  son  of  Ne-bat. 

16  H So  when  all  Is-ra-el  saw  that 
the  king  hearkened  not  unto  them, 
the  people  answered  the  king,  say- 
ing, "What  portion  have  we  in  Da- 
vid'? neither  have  we  inheritance 
in  the  son  of  Jes-se  : to  your  tents, 
O Is-ra-el : now  see  to  thine  own 
house,  Da-vid.  So  Is-ra-el  departed 
unto  their  tents. 

17  But  °as  for  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-6l  which  dwelt  in  the  cities  of 
Ju-dah,  Re-hf)-bo-am  reigned  over 
them. 

18  Then  king  Re-h6-bo-am  ^"8001 
A-do-ram,  who  ivas  over  the  trib- 
ute ; and  all  Is-ra-6l  stoned  him 
with  stones,  that  he  died.  There- 
fore king  Re-h5-bo-to  ^made  speed 


Ten  tribes  revolt.

Jeroboam^ s hand  withereth. 


to  get  him  up  to  his  chariot,  to  flee 
to  Je-rvi-sa-lem. 

19  So  “Is-ra-el  ^rebelled  against 
the  house  of  Da-vid  unto  this  day. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all 
Is-ra-el  heard  that  Jer-5-Do-am  was 
come  again,  that  they  sent  and  called 
him  unto  the  congregation,  and 
made  him  king  over  all  Is-ra-el : 
there  was  none  that  followed  the 
house  of  Da-vid,  but  the  tribe  of 
Ju-dah  ‘*only. 

21  ^ And  when  ®Re-h5-bo-am  was 
come  to  JAru-sa-lem,  he  assembled 
all  the  house  of  Ju-dah,  with  the 
tribe  of  Ben-ja-mm,  an  hundred 
and  fourscore  thousand  chosen  rnen, 
which  were  warriors,  to  fight  against 
the  house  of  Is-ra-el,  to  bring  the 
kingdom  again  to  Be-hd-bo-am  the 
son  of  Sol-o-mOn. 

22  But  '^the  word  of  God  came  unto 
She-ma-iah  the  man  of  God,  saying, 

23  Speak  unto  Ile;h5-bo-am,^  the 
son  of  Sol-5-mOn,  king  of  Ju-dah, 
and  unto  all  the  house  of  Ju-dah 
and  Ben-ja-min,  and  to  the  rem- 
nant of  the  people,  saying, 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye  shall 
not  go  up,  nor  fight  against  your 
brethren  the  children  of  Is-ra-el : 
return  every  man  to  his  house ; 
*for  this  thing  is  from  me.  They 
hearkened  therefore  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  and  returned  to  depart, 
according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

25  II  Then  Jer-5-bo-am  ”built  She- 
ehem  in  mount  E-phra-im,and  dwelt 
therein;  and  went  out  from  thence, 
and  built  ^Pe-nu-el. 

26  And  Jer-6-bo-am  said  in  his 
heart.  Now  shall  the  kingdom  re- 
turn to  the  house  of  Da-vid : 

27  If  this  people  ^go  up  to  do  sac- 
rifice in  the  house  of  the  Lord  at 
Je-ru-sa-lem,  then  shall  the  heart  of 
this  people  turn  again  unto  their 
lord,  even  unto  Be-hO-bo-am  king 
of  Ju-dah,  and  they  shall  kill  me, 
and  go  again  to  Be-hO-bo-am  king 
of  Ju-dah. 

28  Whereupon  the  king  took  coun- 
sel, and  ^made  two  calves  of  gold, 
and  said  unto  them.  It  is  too  much 
for  you  to  go  up  to  J Aru-sa-lem : 
*behold  thy  gods,  O Is-ra-el,  which 
brought  thee  up  out  of  the  land  of 
E-gypt. 

29  And  he  set  the  one  in  'Beth -el, 
and  the  other  put  he  in  "'Dan. 

30  And  this  thing  became  ^'a  sin  : 
for  the  people  went  to  worship  be- 
fore the  one,  even  unto  Dan. 

31  And  he  made  an  ^ house  of  high 

f daces,  “and  made  priests  of  the 
owest  of  the  people,  which  were 
not  of  the  sons  of  Le-vi.

32  And  Jer-5-bo-am  ordained  a 
feast  in  the  eighth  month,  on  the 
fifteenth  day  of  the  month,  like 
unto  ''the  feast  that  is  in  Ju-dah, 
and  he  ‘'offered  upon  the  altar.  So 
did  he  in  Beth'-el,  ^sacrificing  unto 
the  calves  that  he  had  made : ''and 
he  placed  in  Beth -el  the  priests 
of  the  high  places  which  he  had 
made. 

33  So  he  offered  upon  the  altar 
which  he  had  made  in  Beth'-el  the 
fifteenth  day  of  the  eighth  month. 
even  in  the  month  which  he  had 
^devised  of  his  own  heart ; and 
ordained  a feast  unto  the  children 
of  IsYa-el ; and  he  offered  upon  the 
altar,  ®and  s' burnt  incense. 

CHAPTEB  13. 

1 Jeroboam's  hand  withereth,  6 and  at  the  prayer  of  the 
prophet  is  restored.  23  The  disobedient  prophet  is  slain 
by  a lion,  29  and  is  buried  by  the  old  prophet.  33  Jero- 
boam  s obstinacy. 

AND,  behold,  there  *came  a man 
XA-  of  God  out  of  Ju-dah  by  the 
word  of  the  Lord  unto  Beth'-el: 
*and  Jer-p-bo-am  stood  by  the  altar 
®to  burn  incense. 

2 And  he  cried  against  the  alter 
in  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  said, 
O alter,  alter,  thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
Behold,  a child  shall  be  born  unto 
the  house  of  Da-vid,  "'^Jo-si-ah  by 
name ; and  upon  thee  shall  he  offer 
the  priests  of  the  high  places  that 
burn  incense  upon  thee,  and  men’s 
bones  shall  be  burnt  upon  thee. 

3 And  he  gave  “a  sign  the  same 
day,  saying.  This  is  the  sign  which 
the  Lord  hath  spoken ; Behold,  the 
altar  shall  be  rent,  and  the  ashes 
that  are  upon  it  shall  be  poured 
out. 

4 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  king 
Jer-5-botem  heard  the  saying  of 
the  man  of  God,  which  had  cried 
against  the  altar  in  B6th'-el,  that  he 
put  forth  his  hand  from  the  altar, 
saying.  Lay  hold  on  him.  And  his 
hand,  which  he  put  forth  against 
him,  dried  u{d,  so  that  he  could  not 
pull  it  in  again  to  him. 

5 The  altar  also  was  rent,  and  the 
ashes  poured  out  from  the  altar, 
according  to  the  sign  which  the 
man  of  God  had  given  by  the  word 
of  the  Lord. 

6 And  the  king  answered  and  said 
unto  the  man  of  God,  “Intreat  now 
the  face  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  and 
pray  for  me,  that  my  hand  may  be 
restored  me  again.  And  the  man 
of  God  besought  ’the  Lord,  and 
the  king’s  hand  was  restored  him 
again,  and  became  as  it  was  before. 

7 And  the  king  said  unto  the  man 
of  God,  Come  home  with  me,  and

10  So  he  went  another  way,  and 
returned  not  by  the  way  that  he 
came  to  Beth'-el. 

11  H Now  there  dwelt  an  old  pro- 
phet in  B6th'-el;  and  his  ^sons  iHeb.  sow. 
came  and  told  him  all  the  works 

that  the  man  of  God  had  done  that 
day  in  B6th'-el : the  words  which 
he  had  spoken  unto  the  king,  them 
they  told  also  to  their  father. 

12  And  their  father  said  unto 
them.  What  way  went  he  1 For 
his  sons  had  seen  what  way  the 
man  of  God  went,  which  came  from 
Ju-dah. 


13  And  he  said  unto  his  sons.  Sad- 
dle me  the  ass.  So  they  saddled 
him  the  ass : and  he  rode  thereon, 

14  And  went  after  the  man  of 
God,  and  found  him  sitting  under 
an  oak : and  he  said  unto  him.  Art 
thou  the  man  of  God  that  earnest 
from  Ju-dah  1 And  he  said,  I am. 

15  Then  he  said  unto  him,  Come 
home  with  me,  and  eat  bread. 

16  And  he  said,  rnay  not  return 
with  thee,  nor  go  in  with  thee : 
neither  will  I eat  bread  nor  drink 
water  with  thee  in  this  place  : 

17  For  ^ it  was  said  to  me  ®'by  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  Thou  shalt  eat 
no  bread  nor  drink  water  there, 
nor  turn  again  to  go  by  the  way 
that  thou  earnest. 

18  He  said  unto  him,  I am  a pro- 
phet also  as  thou  art ; and  an  angel 

Sake  unto  me  by  the  word  of  the 
)RD,  saying.  Bring  him  back  with 
thee  into  thine  house,  that  he  may 
eat  bread  and  drink  water.  But  he 
hed  unto  him. 

19  So  he  went  back  with  him,  and 
did  eat  bread  in  his  house,  and 
drank  water.

20  H And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
sat  at  the  table,  that  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  unto  the  prophet 
that  brought  him  back : 

21  And  he  cried  unto  the  man  of 
God  that  came  from  Ju-dah,  saying. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Forasmuch 
as  thou  hast  disobeyed  the  mouth 
of  the  Lord,  and  hast  not  kept  the

of  the  which  the  Lord  did  say  to 
thee.  Eat  no  bread,  and  drink  no- 
water;  thy  carcase  shall  not  como 
unto  the  sepulchre  of  thy  fathers. 

23  U And  it  came  to  pass,  after  he 
had  eaten  bread,  and  after  he  had 
drunk,  that  he  saddled  for  him  the 
ass,  to  wit,  for  the  prophet  whom 
he  had  brought  back. 

24  And  when  he  was  gone,  ^a  lion 
met  him  by  the  way,  and  slew  him  ; 
and  his  carcase  was  cast  in  the  way, 
and  the  ass  stood  by  it,  the'lion  also 
stood  by  the  carcase. 

25  And,  behold,  men  passed  by, 
and  saw  the  carcase  cast  in  the 
way,  and  the  lion  standing  by  the 
carcase : and  they  came  and  told  it 
in  the  city  where  the  old  prophet 
dwelt. 

26  And  when  the  prophet  that 
brought  him  back  from  the  way 
heard  thereof,  he  said.  It  is  the 
man  of  God,  who  was  disobedient 
unto  the  word  of  the  Lord  : there- 
fore the  Lord  hath  delivered  him 
unto  the  lion,  which  hath  ‘^torn 
him,  and  slain  him,  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he 
spake  unto  him. 

27  And  he  spake  to  his  sons,  say- 
ing, Saddle  me  the  ass.  And  they 
saddled  him. 

28  And  he  went  and  found  his 
carcase  cast  in  the  way,  and  the 
ass  and  the  lion  standing  by  the 
carcase : the  lion  had  not  eaten 
the  carcase,  nor  ^torn  the  ass. 

29  And  the  prophet  took  up  the 
carcase  of  the  man  of  God,  and 
laid  it  upon  the  ass,  and  brought  it 
back  : and  the  old  prophet  came  to 
the  city,  to  mourn  and  to  bury  him. 

30  And  he  laid  his  carcase  in  his 
own  grave  ; and  they  mourned  over 
him,  saying,  ^Alas,  my  brother  ! 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  after  he 
had  buried  him,  that  he  spake  to 
his  sons,  saying.  When  I am  dead, 
then  bury  me  in  the  sepulchre 
wherein  the  man  of  God  is  buried ; 
day  m.y  bones  beside  his  bones  : 

32  *For  the  saying  which  he  cried 
by  the  word  of  the  Lord  against 
the  altar  in  B6th'-6l,  and  against  all 
the  houses  of  the  high  places  which 
are  in  the  cities  of  ^Sa-ma-ri-a,  shall 
surely  come  to  pass. 

33  H ""After  this  thing  J6r-5-bo-am 
returned  not  from  his  evil  way,  but 
®made  again  of  the  lowest  of  the 
people  priests  of  the  high  places : 
whosoever  would,  he  ® consecrated 
him,  and  he  became  one  of  tho 
priests  of  the  high  places.

CHAPTER  14. 

\ Abijah  being  sick,  Jeroboam  sendeth  his  wife  disguised

25  Shishak  spoileth  Jerusalem.  29  Abijam  succeedeth 


AT  that  time  A-bi-jah  the  son  of 
Jer-5-bo-am  fell  sick. 

2 And  Jer-5-bo-am  said  to  his  wife, 
Arise,  I pray  thee,  and  disguise  thy- 
self, that  thou  be  not  known  to  be 
the  wife  of  Jer-(3-bo-am ; and  get 
thee  to  Shidoh : behold,  there  is 
A-hi-jah  the  prophet,  ^ which  told 
me  that  should  be  king  over  this 
people. 

3 ^And  take  ^with  thee  ten  loaves, 
and ‘“^cracknels,  and  a ^cruseof  honey, 
and  go  to  him : he  shall  tell  thee 
what  shall  become  of  the  child. 

4 And  Jer-G-bo-am’s  wife  did  so, 
and  arose,  ^and  went  to  Shi-loh, 
and  came  to  the  house  of  A-hi-jah. 
But  A-hi-jah  could  not  see ; for  his 
eyes  “^were  set  by  reason  of  his  age. 

5 ^ And  the  Lokd  said  unto  A-hi- 
jah,  Behold,  the  wife  of  Jer-5-bo-am 
cometh  to  ask  a thing  of  thee  for 
her  son ; for  he  is  sick : thus  and 
thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  her : for 
it  shall  be,  when  she  cometh  in, 
that  she  shall  feign  herself  to  he 
another  woman. 

6 And  it  was  so,  when  A -hi- j ah 
heard  the  sound  of  her  feet,  as  she 
came  in  at  the  door,  that  he  said. 
Come  in,  thou  wife  of  J er-5-bo-am ; 
why  feignest  thou  thyself  to  he  an- 
other 1 for  _ I am  sent  to  thee  with 
® heavy  tidings. 

7 Go,  tell  Jer-5-bo-am,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  *Foras- 
much  as  I exalted  thee  from  among 
the  people,  and  made  thee  prince 
over  my  people  Is-ra-el, 

8 And  ^rent  the  kingdom  away 
from  the  house  of  Da-vid,  and  gave

lowed me  with  all  his_  heart,  to  do 
that  only  which  was  right  in  mine

9 But  hast  done  evil  above  all  that

10  And  forty  and  one  years  reigned 
he  in  Je-ru-sa-lem.  And  his  ‘-^mo- 
ther’s name  was  Ma-a-chah,  the 
daughter  of  A-bish-a-l5m. 

11  "'-And  A-sa  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  as 
did  Da-vid  his  father. 

1 2 ^And  he  took  away  the  sodom- 
ites out  of  the  land,  and  removed 
all  the  idols  that  his  fathers  had 
made. 

13  And  also  ^Ma-a-ehah  his  mo- 
ther, even  her  he  removed  from 
being  queen,  because  she  had  made 
an  idol  in  a grove ; and  A-sa /de- 
stroyed her  idol,  and  '’burnt  it  by 
the  brook  Kid-rOn. 

14  *But  the  high  places  were  not 
removed:  nevertheless  A-sa’s “heart 
was  perfect  with  the  Lord  all  his 
days. 

15  And  he  brought  in  the  ® things 
which  his  father  had  dedicated,  and 
the  things  which  himself  had  dedi- 
cated, into  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
silver,  and  gold,  and  vessels. 

16  ^ And  there  was  war  between 
A-sa  and  Ba-a-sha  king  of  Is-ra-el 
all  their  days. 

17  And  ^Ba-a-sha  king  of  Is-ra-el 
went  up  against  Ju-dah,  and  built 
“Ra-mah,  Hhat  he  might  not  suffer 
any  to  go  out  or  come  in  to  A-sa 
king  of  Juklah. 

18  Then  A-sa  took  all  the  silver 
and  the  gold  that  were  left  in  the 
treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  the  treasures  of  the  king’s 
house,  and  delivered  them  into  the 
hand  of  his  servants : and  king  A-sa 
sent  them  to  ''Ben-ha-dad,  the  son 
of  Tab-ri-mon,  the  son  of  He-zL6n, 
king  of  Syr-i-a,  that  dwelt  at  ‘Da- 
mas-eus,  saying,

and  thee,  and  between  my  father

and  thy  father : behold,  I have  sent 
unto  thee  a present  of  silver  and 
gold;  come  and  break  thy  league 
with  Ba-a-sha  king  of  Is-ra-6l,  that 
he  may  Mepart  from  me. 

20  So  Ben-ha-dad  hearkened  unto 
king  A-sa,  and  sent  the  captains  of 
the  hosts  which  he  had  against  the 
cities  of  Is-ra-el,  and  smote  ^I-j6n, 
and  ‘'Dan,  and  ‘^A-bel-beth-ma'a- 
■ehah,  and  all  Cin-ne-r6th,  with  all 
the  land  of  Naph-ta-h. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ba-a-sha  heard  thereof,  that  he  left 
off  building  of  Ba-mah,  and  dwelt 
in  Tir-zah. 

22  -^Then  king  A-sa  made  a pro- 
clamation throughout  all  J u-dah  ; 
none  was  ‘^exempted  :_and  they  took 
away  the  stones  of  Ba-mah,  and  the 
timfc  thereof,  wherewith  Ba-a-sha 
had  builded;  and  king  A-sa  built 
with  them  ^Ge-ba  of  Ben-ja-mln, 
and  ^Miz-pah. 

23  The  rest  of  all  the  acts  of  A-sa, 
and  all  his  might,  and  all  that  he 
did,  and  the  cities  which  he  built, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Jm 
dahl  Nevertheless  4n  the  time  of 
his  old  age  he  was  diseased  in  his 

feet.  _ . , , . n ,1 

24  And  A-sa  slept  with  his  fathers, 
and  was  buried  with  his  fathers  in 
the  city  of  Da-vid  his  father : ‘'and 
^Je-h5sh-a-phat  his  son  reigned  in 
Jiis 

25  ^ And  Na-dab  the  son  of  Jer-6- 
bo-am  ^began  to  reign  over  Is-rd-el 
in  the  second  year  of  A-sa  kin^  of 
Ju-dah,  and  reigned  over  Is-rd-el 
two  years. 

26  And  he  did  evil  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord,  and  walked  in  the  way  of 
his  father,  and  in  * his  sin  where- 
with he  made_  Is-ra-el  to  sin.  ^ 

27  IT  “And  Ba-a-sha  the  son  of  A- 
hi-jah^  of  the  house  of  Is-sa-char, 
conspired  against  him;  and  Ba-a- 
sha  smote  him  at  Gib-be-th5n, 
which  belonged  to  the  Phi-lis-tines  ; 
for  Na-dab  and  all  Is-ra-el  laid  siege 
to  Gib-be-th5n. 

28  Even  in  the  third  year  of  A-sa 
king  of  Ju-dah  did  Ba-a-sha  slay 
him,  and  reigned  in  his  stead 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
reigned,  that  he  smote  all  the  house

HEN  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
to  *Je-hu  the  son  of  Ha-na-ni 
against  Ba-a-sha,  saying, 

2 * Forasmuch  as  I exalted  thee 
out  of  the  dust,  and  made  thee 
prince  over  my  people  Is-ra-el ; and 
”"thou  hast  walked  in  the  way  of 
Jer-o-bo-am,  and  hast  made  my 
people  Is-ra-el  to  sin,_  to  provoke 
me  to  anger  with  their  sins ;

the  city  shall  the  dogs  eat ; and  him 
that  dieth  of  his  in  the  fields  shall 
the  fowls  of  the  air  eat.  n 

5 Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Ba- 

a-sha,  and  what  he  did,  and  his 
might,  *are  they  not  written  in^  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings 
of  Is-ra-el  1 • i i • c 

6 So  Ba-a-sha  slept  with  his  m- 
thers,_and  was  buried  in  *Tir-zah: 
and  Edah  his  son  reigned  in  his 

7 And  also  by  the  hand  of  the 

prophet  *Je-hu  the  son  of  Ha-na-ni 
came  the  word  of  the  Lord  against 
Ba-a-sha,  and  against  his  house, 
even  for  all  the  evil  that  he  did  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  in  provoking 
him  to  anger  with  the  work  of  his 
hands,  in  being  like  the  house  ot 
Jer-6-bo-am;  and  because  “he  killed 
him.  , .

of  A-sa  king  of  Ju-dah  began  E-lan 
the  son  of  Ba-a-sha  to  reign  over

against  him,  as  he  was  in  Tir-zah, 
drinking  himself  drunk  in  the  house 
of  Ar-za  ^steward  of  his  house  in 
Tir-zah. 

10  And  Zim-ri  went  in  and  smote 
him,  and  killed  him,  in  the  twenty 
and  seventh  year  of  A-sa  king  of 
Ju-dah,  and  reigned  in  his  stead. 

11  H And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  began  to  reign,  as  soon  as  he  sat 
on  his  throne,  that  he  slew  all  the 
house  of  Ba-a-sha ; he  left  him  “not 
one  that  pisseth  against  a wall, 
^neither  of  his  kinsfolks,  nor  of  his 
friends. 

1 2 Thus  did  Zim-rl  destroy  all  the 
house  of  Ba-a-sha,  ^according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake 
against  Ba-a-sha  ^by'^  Je-hu  the  pro- 
phet, 

13  For  all  the  sins  of  Ba-a-sha,  and 
the  sins  of  Edah  his  son,  by  which 
they  sinned,  and  _ by^  which  they 
made  Is-ra-el  to  sin,  in  provoking 
tlie  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el  to  anger 
’•with  their  vanities. 

14  Now  the  rest  of  t.he  acts  of 
Edah,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  riot  written  iri  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  IsdA-el  1 

15  In  the  twenty  and  seventh 
ear  of  A-sa  king  of  Ju-dah  did 
lim-ri  reign  seven  days  in  Tir-zah. 

Arid  the  people  were  encamped  *a- 
gainst  Gib-b6-th5n,  which  belonged 
to  the  Phi-lis-tines. 

16  And  the  people  that  were  en- 
camped heard  say,  Zim-ri  hath  con- 
spired, and  hath  also  slain  the  king : 
wherefore  all  Is-ra-6l  made  Omd'i, 
the  captain  of  the  host,  king  over 
Is-ra-el  that  day  in  the  camp. 

17  And  Om-ri  went  up  from  Gib- 
be-th5n,  and  all  Is-ra-el  with  him, 
and  they  besieged  Tir-zah. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Zim- 
ri  saw  that  the  city  was  taken,  that 
he  went  into  the  palace  of  the  king’s 
house,  and  burnt  the  king’s  house 
over  him  with  fire,  and  died, 

^19  For  his  sins  which  he  sinned 
in  doing  evil  iri  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  ®in  walking  in  the  way  of 
J6r-0-b5-am,  and  in  his  sin  which 
he  did,  to  make  Is-ra-el  to  sin. 

20^  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
2im-ri,  and  his  treason  that  he 
wrought,  are  they  not  written  in 
die  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
cings  of  Is-ra-el  1 

21  H Then  were  the  people  of  I§- 
a-6l  divided  into  two  parts : half 
)f  the  people  followed  Tib-nl  the 
ion  of  Gi-nath,  to  make  him  king  ;

so  Tib-ni  died,  and  Om-ri  reigned. 

23  U In  the  thirty  and  first  year  of 
A-sa  king  of  Ju-dah  began  OmAi  to 
reign  over  Is-ra-el,  twelve  years ; six 
years  reigned  he  in  Tir-zah. 

24  And  he  bought  the  hill  Sa-ma- 
ri-a  of  She-mer  for  two  talents  of 
silver,  and  built  on  the  hill,  and 
called  the  name  of  the  city  which 
he  built,  after  the  name  of  She-mer, 
owner  of  the  hill,  ^Sa-ma-ri-a.^ 

25  H But  ‘'Om-ri  wrought  evil  in 
the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  and  did  worse 
than  all  that  were  before  him. 

26  For  he  ^^walked  in  all  the  way 
of  Jer-5-bo-am  the  son  of  Ne-bat, 
and  in  his  sin  wherewith  he  made 
IshA-6l  to  sin,  to  provoke  the  Lord 
God  of  Is-ra-el  to  anger  with  their 
^vanities. 

27  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Om-ri  which  he  did,  and  his  might 
that  he  shewed,  are  they  not  writ- 
ten in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of 
the  kings  of  IshA-en 

28  So  Om-ri  slept  with  his  fathers, 
and  was  buried  in  Sa-ma-ri-a : and 
A-hab  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

29  H And  in  the  thirty  and  eighth 
year  of  A-sa  king  of  Ju-dah  began 
A-hab  the  son  of  Om-ri  to  reign 
over  ls-ra-6l : and  A-hab  the  son  of 
Om-ri  reigned  over  Is-ra-el  in  Sa- 
ma-ri-a  twenty  and  two  years. 

30  And  A-hab  the  son  of  Om-ri  did 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  above 
all  that  wef'e  before  him. 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  ®as  if  it  had 
been  a light  thing  for  him  to  walk 
in  the  sins  of  Jer-5-bo-am  the  son 
of  Ne-bat,  *that  he  took  to  wife  J6z- 
e-bel  the  daughter  of  Eth-ba-al  king 
of  the  ^Zi-do-ni-ans,  "‘and  went  and 
served  Ba-al,  and  worshipped  him. 

32  And  he  reared  up  an  altar  for 
Ba-al  in  "the  house  of  Ba-al,  which 
he  had  built  in  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

33  "And  A-hab  made  a grove;  and 
A-hab  ^did  more  to  provoke  the 
Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el  to  anger  than 
all  the  kings  of  Is-ra-6l  that  were 
before  him. 

34  ^ In  his  days  did  Hl-el  the 
B6th'-6l-ite  build  J 6r4-cho  : he  laid 
the  foundation  thereof  in  A-bi-ram 
his  firstborn,  and  set  up  the  gates 
thereof  in  his  youngest  son  Se%ub, 
"according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  spake  by  J6sh-u-a  the  son 
of  Nun.

The  widovfs  son  raised.%

God  of  Is-ra-el  liveth,  ^before  whom 
I stand,  nbere  shall  not  be  dew  nor 
rain  ^ these  years,  but  according  to 
my  word. 

2 And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  him,  saying, 

3 Get  thee  hence,  and  turn  thee 
eastward,  and  hide  thyself  by  the 
brook -Ghe-rith,  that  is  before  J6r- 

4 And  it  shall  be,  that  thou'shalt 
drink  of  the  brook ; and  I have 
commanded  the  ravens  to  feed  thee 

5 So  he  went  and  did  according 
unto  the  word  of  the  Lord  : for 
he  went  and  dwelt  by  the  brook 
■Ghe-rith,  that  is  before  Jor-dan. 

6 And  the  ravens  brought  him 
bread  and  flesh  in  the  morning,  and 
bread  and  flesh  in  the  evening ; and 
he  drank  of  the  brook. 

7 And  it  came  to  pass  ^ after  a 
while,  that  the  brook  dried  up,  be- 
cause there  had  been  no  rain  in  the 

land.  , » T X 

8 ^ And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  him,  saying 

9 Arise,  get  thee  to  ^Zar-e-phath, 
which  belongeth  to  Zi^5n,  and  dwell 
there : behold,  I have  commanded  a 
widow  woman  there  to  sustain  thee. 

10  So  he  arose  and  went  to  Zar-e- 
phath.  And  when  he  came  to  the 
gate  of  the  city,  behold,  the  widow 
woman  was  there  gathering  of 
sticks : and  he  called  to  her,  and 
said.  Fetch  me,  I pray  thee,  a little 
water  in  a vessel,  that  I may  drink 

1 1 And  as  she  was  going  to  fetch 
it,  he  called  to  her,  and  said^  Bring 
me,  I pray  thee,  a morsel  of  bread 
in  thine  hand. 

12  And  she  said.  As  the  Lord  thy 
God  liveth,  I have  not  a cake,  but 
an  handful  of  meal  in  a barrel,  and 
a little  oil  in  a cruse : and,  behold,  I 
am  gathering  two  sticks,  that  I may 
go  in  and  dress  it  for  me  and  my 
son,  that  we  may  eat  it,  and  die. 

13  And  E-li-jah  said  unto  her.  Fear 
not ; go  and  do  as  thou  hast  said : 
but  make  me  thereof  a little  cake 
first,  and  bring  it  unto  me,  and  after 
make  for  thee  and  for  thy  som 

^14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is-ra-el,  The  barrel  of  meal  shall  not 
waste,  neither  shall  the  cruse  of  oil 
fail,  until  the  day  that  the  Lord 
®sendeth  rain  upon  the  earth. 

15  And  she  went  and  did  accord- 
ing to  the  saying  of  E-li-jah:  and 
she,  and  he,  and  Tier  house,  did  eat

which  he  spake  ^by  E-h-jah. 

17  H And  it  came  to  pass  after 

these  things,  that  the  son  of  the 
woman,  the  mistress  of  the  house, 
fell  sick;  and  his  sickness  was  so 
sore,  that  there  was  no  breath  left 
in  him.  _ 

18  And  she  said  unto  E-li-jah, 
®What  have  I to  do  with  thee,  O 
thou  man  of  Godl  art  thou  come 
unto  me  to  call  my  sin  to  remem- 
brance, and  to  slay  my  son^ 

19  And  he  said  unto  her.  Give  me 
thy  son.  And  he  took  him  out  of 
her  bosom,  and  carried  him  up  into 
a loft,  where  he  abode,  and  laid  him 
upon  his  own  bed. 

20  And  he  cried  unto  the  Lord, 

and  said,  O Lord  my  God,  hast  thou 
also  brought  evil  upon  the  widow 
with  whom  I sojourn,  by  slaying 
her  son  1 , c 

21  -And  he  ^stretched  himself  upon 
the  child  three  times,  and  cried  un- 
to the  Lord,  and  said,  O Lord  my 
God,  I pray  thee,  let  this  child’s 
soul  come  ^into  him  again. 

22  And  the  Lord  heard  the  voice 
of  E-li-jah ; and  the  soul  of  the 
child  came  into  him  again,  and  he 

revived. 


23  And  E-li-jah  took  the  child,  and 
him  down  out  of  the  cham- 


brought  him tit  j 

ber  into  the  house,  and  delivered 
him  unto  his  mother : and  E-li-jah 
said.  See,  thy  son  liveth. 

24  ^ And  the  woman  said  to  E-li- 
jah,  Now  by  this  *T  know  that  thou 
art  a man  of  God,  and  that  the  wwd 
of  the  Lord  in  thy  mouth  is  truth.

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  '^many

came  to  E-li-jah  in  the  third  year, 
saying.  Go,  shew  thyself  unto  A-hab; 
and  ^ I will  send  rain  upon  the  earth. 

2 And  E-li-jah  went  to  shew  him- 
self unto  A-^b.  ^ A.nd  there  was  aj 
sore  famine  in  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

3 And  A-hab  called  ®0-ba-di-ah, 

which  was  Hhe  governor  of  his\ 
house.  (Now  O-ba-di-ah  feared  the 
Lord  greatly:  4. 

4 For  it  was  so,  when  ” J ez-e-bel  cut 


off  the  prophets  of  the  Lord,  that 
O-ba-di-ah  took  an  hundred 


pro- 


phets, and  hid  them  by  fifty  in  a 
cave,  and  fed  them  with  bread  and 


water.)  _ _ , , 

5  And  A-hab  said  unto  0-ba-di-ah, 
Go  into  the  land,  unto  all  fountains 
of  water,  and  unto  all  brooks : per- 
adventure  we  may  find  grass  to  save

Elijah  sent  to  Ahah.  I.  KINGS,  18.  Elijah  reproveth  Ahab, 


the  horses  and  mules  alive,  Hhat  we 
lose  not  all  the  beasts. 

6 So  they  divided  the  land  between 
them  to  pass  throughout  it : A_-hab 
went  one  way  by  himself,  and  O-ba- 
dl-ah  went  another  way  by  himself. 

7 U And  as  O-bAdi-ah  was  in  the 
way,  behold,  E-li-h"h  met  him  : and 
he  knew  him,  and  fell  on  his  face, 
and  said.  Art  thou  that  my  lord 
E-li-jah  1 

8 And  he  answered  him,  I am : 
go,  tell  thy  lord.  Behold,  E-li-jah 
is  here. 

9 And  he  said.  What  have  I sinned, 
that  thou  wouldest  deliver  thy  serv- 
ant into  the  hand  of  A-hab,  to  slay 
me"? 

10  As  the  Lord  thy  God  liveth, 
there  is  no  nation  or  kingdom, 
whither  my  lord  hath  not  sent  to 
seek  thee : and  when  they  said.  He 
is  not  there;  he  took  an  oath  of 
the  kingdom  and  nation,  that  they 
found  thee  not. 

1 1 And  now  thou  sayest,  Go,  tell 
thy  lord.  Behold,  E-li-jah  is  here. 

12  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  as 
soon  as  I am  gone  from  thee,  that 
‘'the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  shall  carry 
thee  whither  I know  not;  and  so 
when  I come  and  tell  A-hab,  and 
he  cannot  find  thee,  he  shall  slay 
me : but  I thy  servant  fear  the 
Lord  from  my  youth. 

13  Was  it  not  told  my  lord  what  I 
did  when  J 6z-e-b6l  slew  the  proph- 
ets of  the  Lord,  how  I hid  an  hun- 
dred men  of  the  Lord’s  prophets 
by  fifty  in  a cave,  and  fed  them 
with  bread  and  water  1 

14  And  now  thou  sayest.  Go,  tell 
thy  lord,  Behold,  E-li-jah  is  here: 
and  he  shall  slay  me. 

15  And  E-li-jah  said.  As  the  Lord 
of  hosts  liveth,  berore  whom  I 
stand,  I will  surely  shew  myself 
unto  him  to  day. 

_1 6 So  O-ba-di-ah  went  to  meet 
A-hab,  and  told  him  : and  A-hab 
went  to  meet  E-li-jah. 

_1 7 U And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
A-hab  saw  E-li-jah,  that  A-hab  said 
unto  him,  ^'Ar^  thou  he  that  ^trou- 
bleth  Is-ra-61'? 

18  And  he  answered,  I have  not 
troubled  Is-ra-el ; but  thou,  and  thy 
father’s  house,  ”in  that  ye  have 
forsaken  the  commandments  of 
the  Lord,  and  thou  hast  followed

20  So  A-hab  sent  unto  all  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el,  and  “gathered 
the  prophets  together  unto  mount 
■GaruneL 

21  And  E-li-jah  came  unto  all  the 
people,  and  said,/ How  long  halt  ye 
between  two  ‘‘^opinions  1 if  the  Lord 
be  God,  follow  him:  but  if  Ba-al, 
^then  follow  him.  And  the  people 
answered  him  not  a word. 

22  Then  said  E-li-jah  unto  the 
people,  ‘*1,  even  I only,  remain  a 
prophet  of  the  Lord;  ®but  Ba-al’s 
prophets  are  four  hundred  and 
fifty  men. 

23  Let  them  therefore  give  us  two 
bullocks ; and  let  them  choose  one 
bullock  for  themselves,  and  cut  it 
in  pieces,  and  lay  it  on  wood,  and 
put  no  fire  under : and  I will  dress 
the  other  bullock,  and  lay  it  on 
wood,  and  put  no  fire  under: 

24  And  call  ye  on  the  name  of 
your  gods,  and  I will  call  on  the 
name  of  the  Lord  : and  the  God 
that  -^answereth  by  fire,  let  him  be 
God.  And  all  the  people  answered 
and  said,  Ht  is  well  spoken. 

25  And  E-li-jah  said  unto  the  pro- 
phets of  Ba-al,  Choose  you  one  bul- 
lock for  yourselves,  and  dress  it 
first ; for  ye  are  many ; and  call  on 
the  name  of  your  gods,  but  put  no 
fire  under. 

26  And  they  took  the  bullock 
which  was  given  them,  and  they 
dressed  it.  and  called  on  the  name 
of  Ba-al  from  morning  even  until 
noon,  saying,  O Ba-al,  ^hear  us. 
But  there  was  *no  voice,  nor  any 
that  ® answered.  And  they  ® leaped 
upon  the  altar  which  was  made. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at  noon, 
that  E-li-j^h  mocked  them,  and  said. 
Cry  y aloud  : for  he  is  a god  ; either 
®he  is  talking,  or  he  ®is  pursuing, 
or  he  is  in  a journey,  or  perad- 
venture  he  sleepeth,  and  must  be 
awaked. 

28  And  they  cried  aloud,  and  *cut 
themselves  after  their  manner  with 
knives  and  lancets,  till  Hhe  blood 
gushed  out  upon  them. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  mid- 
day was  past,."^and  they  prophesied 
until  the  time  of  the  ^offering  of 
the  e-ymmg  sacrifice,  that  there  was 
"neither  voice,  nor  any  to  answer, 
nor  any  ^that  regarded. 

30  And  E-li-jah  said  unto  all  the 
people.  Come  near  unto  me.  And 
all  the  people  came  near  unto  him. 
^And  he  repaired  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  that  was  broken  down.

whom  the  word  of  the  Lord  came,  b.c.  906. 
saying,  *Is-ra-el  shall  be  thy  name  : 

32  And  with  the  stones  he  built  an 
altar  *in  the  name  of  the  Lord  : and 
he  made  a trench  about  the  altar, 
as  great  as  would  contain  two  mea- 
sures of  seed. 

33  And  he  ‘^put  the  wood  in  order, 
and  cut  the  bullock  in  pieces,  and 
laid  him  on  the  wood,  and  said. 

Fill  four  barrels  with  water,  and 
^ pour  it  on  the  burnt  sacrifice,  and 
on  the  wood. 

34  And  he  said.  Do  it  the  second 
time.  And  they  did  it  the  second 
time.  And  he  said.  Do  the  third 
time.  And  they  did  it  the  third 
time. 

35  And  the  water  ^ran  round  about  3 Heb.  went. 
the  alUr ; and  he  filled  -^the  trench  / ver. 
also  with  water. 

36  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
time  of  the  ofiering  of  the  evening 
sacrifice,  that  E-li-jah  the  prophet 
came  near,  and  said.  Lord  God 
of  A-bra-ham,  I-saac,  and  of  Is- 
ra-6l,  *let  it  be  known  this  day 
that  thou  art  God  in  Is-ra-6l,  and 
that  I am  thy  servant,  and  that 
*I  have  done  all  these  things  at 
thy  word.  _ ^ 

37  Hear  me,  O Lord,  hear  me, 

that  this  people  m^  know  that 
thou  art  the  Lord  God,  and  that 
thou  hast  turned  their  heart  back 
again.  - 

38  Then  "^the  fire  of  the  Lord  fell 
and  consumed  the  burnt  sacrifice, 
and  the  wood,  and  the  stones,  and 
the  dust,  and  licked  up  the  water 
that  ivas  in  the  trench. 

39  And  when  all  the  people  saw  it, 
they  fell  on  their  faces : and  they 
said,  "The  Lord,  he  is  the  God;  the 
Lord,  he  the  God. 

40  And  E-li-jah  said  unto  them, 
p Take  ® the  prophets  of  Ba-al ; let 
not  one  of  them  escape.  And  they 
took  them:  and  E-h-jah  brought 
them  down  to  the  brook  Ki-shbn 
and  ^ slew  them  there. 

41  U And  E-lT-jah  said  unto  A- 
hab.  Get  thee  up,  eat  and  drink ; 
for  there  is  ’a  sound  of  abundance 
of  rain.  _ 

42  So  A-hab  went  up  to  eat  and  to 
drink.  And  E-li-jah  went  up  to  the 
top  of  -Gar-mel ; ’’and  he  cast  him- 
self down  upon  the  earth,  and  put 
his  face  between  his  knees, 

43  And  said  to  his  servant.  Go  up 
now,  look  toward  the  sea.  ^ And  he 
went  up,  and  looked,  and  said.  There 
is  nothing.  And  he  said.  Go  again 
seven  times.

AND  A-hab  told  J6z-6-bel  all  that 
E-li-jah  had  done,  and  withal 
how  he  had  ^ slain  all  the  prophets 
with  the  sword. 

2 Then  Jez-6-bel  sent  a messenger 
unto  E-li-jah,  saying,  *So  let  the 
gods  do  to  me,  and  more  also,  if  I 
make  not  thy  life  as  the  life  of  one  of 
them  by  to  morrow  about  this  time. 

3 And  when  he  saw  that,  he  arose, 
and  went  for  his  life,  and  came  to 
Be-er-she-ba,  which  belongeth  to 
Ju-dah,  and  left  his  servant  there. 

4 ^ But  he  himself  went  a day  s 
journey  into  the  wilderness,  and 
came  and  sat  down  under  a juniper

It  is  enough ; now,  O Lord,  take 
away  my  life ; for  I am  not  better

Arise  and  eat.

Go,  return  on  thy  way  to  the  wil- 
derness of  Da-mas-«us : *and  when 
thou  comest,  anoint  Haz-a-el  to  he 
king  over  Syr-i-a: 

16  And  * Je-hu  the  son  of  Nim-shi 
shalt  thou  anoint  to  he  king  over 
Is-ra-el : and  j E-li-sha  the  son  of 
8ha-phat  of  A-bel-me-hodah  shalt 
thou  anoint  to  he  prophet  in  thy 
room. 

17  And  ”^it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
him  that  escapeth  the  sword  of 
Haz-a-el  shall  Je-hu  slay : and  him 
that  escapeth  from  the  sword  of 
Je-hu  ” shall  E-li-sha  slay. 

18  "Yet  have  left  me  seven 
thousand  in  IshA-el,  all  the  knees 
which  have  not  bowed  unto  Ba-al, 
^and  every  mouth  which  hath  not 
kissed  him. 

^19  ^ So  he  departed  thence,  and 
found  E-li-sha  the  son  of  Sha-phat, 
who  was  plowing  with  twelve  yoke 
of  oxen  before  him,  and  he  with  the 
twelfth : and  E-li-jah  passed  by  him, 
and  cast  his  mantle  upon  him. 

20  And  he  left  the  oxen,  and  ran 
after  E-li-jah,  and  said,  ^Let  me,  I 
pray  thee,  kiss  my  father  and  my 
mother,  and  then  I will  follow  thee. 
And  he  said  unto  him,  ^Go  back 
again : for  what  have  I done  to  thee  % 


Samaria  is  besieged. 

21  And  he  returned  back  from 
him,  and  took  a yoke  of  oxen,  and 
slew  them,  and  * boiled  their  flesh 
with  the  instruments  of  the  oxen, 
and  gave  unto  the  people,  and  they 
did  eat.  Then  he  arose,  and  went 
after  E-h-jah,  and  ministered  unto 
him. 

CHAPTER  20. 

1 Ben-hadad  besiegeth  Samaria.  13  By  the  direction  of  a 
prophet,  the  Syrians  are  slain.  22  the  prophet  fore- 
warned Ahab,  the  Syrians,  trusthig  in  the  valleys,  come 
against  him  in  Aphek.  28  The  Syrians  are  smitten  again. 
ZA  Ahab  sendeth  Ben-hadad  away  with  a covenant.  38  The 
prophet,  making  Ahab  to  judge  himself,  denounceth  God's 
judgment  against  him. 

AND  Ben-ha-dad  the  king  of 
XjL  Syru-a  gathered  all  his  host 
together : and  there  were  thirty 
and  two  kings  with  him,  and 
horses,  and  chariots : and  he  went 
up  and  besieged  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and 
warred  against  it. 

2 And  he  sent  messengers  to 
A-hab  king  of  I§-ra-el  into  the  city, 
and  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  Ben- 
ha-dad, 

3 Thjr  silver  and  thy  gold  7s  mine ; 
thy  wives  also  and  thy  children, 
even  the  goodliest,  are  mine. 

4 And  the  king  of  IsYa-el  answered 
and  said.  My  lord,  O king,  according 
to  thy  saying,  I am  thine,  and  all 
that  I have. 

5 And  the  messengers  came  again, 
and  said.  Thus  speaketh  Ben-ha- 
dad,  saying.  Although  I have  sent 
unto  thee,  saying.  Thou  shalt  de- 
liver me  thy  silver,  and  thy  gold, 
and  thy  wives,  and  thy  children ; 

6 Yet  I will  send  my  servants  unto 
thee  to  morrow  about  this  time,  and 
they  shall  search  thine  house,  and 
the  houses  of  thy  servants ; and  it 
shall  be,  that  whatsoever  is  ^pleasant 
in  thine  eyes,  they  shall  put  it  in 
their  hand,  and  take  it  away. 

7 Then  the  king  of  Is-ra-6l  called 
all  the  elders  of  the  land,  and  said, 
Mark,  I pray  you,  and  see  how  this 
man  seeketh  mischief : for  he  sent 
unto  me  for  my  wives,  and  for  my 
children,  and  for  my  silver,  and  for 
my  gold  ; and  ^ I denied  him  not. 

8 And  all  the  elders  and  all  the 
people  said  unto  him.  Hearken  not 
unto  him,  nor  consent. 

9 Wherefore  he  said  unto  the 
messengers  of  Ben-ha-dad,  Tell  my 
lord  the  king.  All  that  thou  didst 
send  for  to  thy  servant  at  the  first 
I will  do : but  this  thing  I may 
not  do.  And  the  messengers  de- 
parted, and  brought  him  word 
again. 

10  And  B6n-ha-dad  sent  unto 
him,  and  said,  ’'The  gods  do  so  unto 
me,  and  more  also,  if  the  dust  of

Sa-ma-ri-a  shall  suffice  for  handfuls 
for  all  the  people  that  follow  me. 

11  And  the  king  of  Is-ra-ffi  an- 

swered and  said,  Tell  him.  Let  not 
him  that  girdeth  on  his  harness 
boast  himself  as  he  that  putteth  it 
off.  , 

12  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ben-haJ-ddd  heard  this  ^message, 
as  he  ivas  “drinking,  he  and  the 
kings  in  the  ^pavilions,  that  he  said 
unto  his  servants,  ^Set  yourselves 
in  array.  And  they  set  themselves 
in  array  against  the  city. 

13  H And,  behold,  there  ® came  a 
prophet  unto  A-hab  king  of  Is-ra-el, 
saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Hast 
thou  seen  all  this  great  multitude  % 
behold,  H will  deliver  it  into  thine 
hand  this  day ; and  thou  shalt  know 
that  I am  the  Lord. 

14  And  Affiab  said.  By  whomi 
And  he  said.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Even  by  the  ® young  men  of  the 
princes  of  the  provinces.  Then  he 
^aid.  Who  shall  ^ order  the  battled 
And  he  answered.  Thou. 

15  Then  he  numbered  the  young 
men  of  the  princes  of  the  provinces, 
and  they  were  two  hundred  and 
thirty  two:  and  after  them  he 
numbered  all  the  people,  even  all 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  being  seven 
thousand. 

16  And  they  went  out  at  noon. 
But  Ben-ha-dad  was  **  drinking 
himself  drunk  in  the  pavilions, 
he  and  the  kings,  the  thirty  and 
two  kings  that  helped  him. 

17  And  the  young  men  of  the 
princes  of  the  provinces  went  out 
first ; and  Ben-ha-dad  sent  out, 
and  they  told  him,  saying.  There 
are  men  come  out  of  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

18  And  he  said.  Whether  they  be 
come  out  for  peace,  take  them  alive ; 
or  whether  they  be  come  out  for 
war,  take  them  alive. 

19  So  these  young  men  of  the 
princes  of  the  provinces  came  out 
of  the  city,  and  the  army  which 
followed  them. 

20  And  they  slew  every  one  his 
man : and  the  Syr4-ans  fled ; and 
Is-ra-el  pursued  them:  and  B6n- 
h'a-dad  the  king  of  Syr4-a  escaped 
on  an  horse  with  the  horsemen. 

21  And  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  went 
out,  and  smote  the  horses^  and 
chariots,  and  slew  the  Syr4-ans 
with  a great  slaughter. 

22  H And  the  prophet  came  to  the 
king  of  Is-ra-el,  and  said  unto  him. 
Go,  strengthen  thyself,  and  mark, 
and  see  what  thou  doest : ^ for  at 
the  return  of  the  year  the  king  of 
Syr-i-a  will  come  up  against  thee.

23  And  the  servants  of  the  king 

of  Syr4-a  said  unto  him.  Their  gods 
are  gods  of  the  hills ; therefore 
they  were  stronger  than  we;  but 
let  us  fight  against  them  in  the 
plain,  and  surely  we  shall  be 
stronger  than  they. 

24  And  do  this  thing,  Take  the 
kings  away,  every  man  out  of  his 
place,  and  put  captains  in  their 
rooms : 

25  And  number  thee  an  army, 
like  the  army  ®that  thou  hast  lost, 
horse  for  horse,  and  chariot  for 
chariot : and  we  will  fight  against 
them  in  the  plain,  and  surely  we 
shall  be  stronger  than  they.  And 
he  hearkened  unto  their  voice,  and 
did  so. 

26  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 

return  of  the  year,  that  Ben-ha-dad 
numbered  the  Syr-i-ans,  and  went 
up  to  ‘'A-phek,  ’to  fight  against 
Is;^r4-6l.  . . , 

27  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
were  numbered,  and  ^were  all  pres- 
ent, and  went  against  them : and 
the  children  of  Is-rAel  pitched  be- 
fore them  like  two  little  flocks  of 
kids;  but  the  Syr-i-ans  filled  the 
country. 

28  U And  there  came  a naan  of 
God,  and  spake  unto  the  king  of 
Is-ra-el,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Because  the  Syr-i-an§  have 
said.  The  Lord  is  God  of  the  hills, 
but  he  is  not  God  of  the  valleys, 
therefore  ®will  I deliver  all  this 
great  multitude  into  thine  hand, 
and  ye  shall  know  that  I am  the 
Lord. 

29  And  they  pitched  one  over 

against  the  other  seven  days.  And 
so  it  was,  that  in  the  seventh  day 
the  battle  was  joined : and  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el  slew  of  the  Syr-i-ans 
an  hundred  thousand  footmen  in 
one  day.  _ , , 

30  But  the  rest  fled  to  A-phek. 
into  the  city ; and  there  a wall  fell 
upon  twenty  and  seven  thousand 
of  the  men  that  were  left.  And 
Ben-ha-dad  fled,  and  came  into 
the  city,  ^^into  an  inner  chamber. 

31  And  his  servants  said  unto 
him.  Behold  now,  we  have  heard 
that  the  kings  of  the  house  of  Is^ 
ra-el  are  merciful  kings : let  us,  I 
pray  thee,  -^put  sackcloth  on  our 
loins,  and  ropes  upon  our  heads, 
and  go  out  to  the  king  of  Is-ra-el : 
peradventure  he  will  save  thy  life. 

32  So  they  girded  sackcloth  on 
, their  loins,  and  put  ropes  on  their 
heads,  and  came  to  the  king  of  Is- 
ra-el,  and  said.  Thy  servant  Ben- 
ha-dad  saith,  I pray  thee,  let  me

Ahah  is  grieved. 


AhaV s death  foretold.  I.  KINGS,  21. 


live.  And  he  said,  Is  he  yet  alive  1 
he  is  my  brother. 

33  Now  the  men  did  diligently 
observe  whether  any  thing  would 
come  from  him,  and  did  hastily 
catch  it : and  they  said.  Thy  brother 
Bt^n-ha-dad.  Then  he  said.  Go 
ye,  bring  him.  ^ Then  Ben-ha-dad 
came  forth  to  him ; and  he  caused 
him  to  come  up  into  the  chariot. 

34  And  Ben-ha-ddd  said  unto  him, 
“The  cities,  which  my  father  took 
from  thy  father,  I will  restore ; and 
thou  shalt  make  streets  for  thee 
in  Da-mas--eus,  as  my  father  made 
in  Sa-ma-ri-a.  Then  said  A-hdb, 
I will  send  thee  away  with  this 
covenant.  So  he  made  a covenant 
with  him,  and  sent  him  away. 

35  U And  a certain  man  of  ‘’the 
sons  of  the  prophets  said  unto  his 
neighbour  ®in  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
Smite  me,  I pray  thee.^  And  the 
man  refused  to  smite  him. 

36  Then  said  he  unto  him,  Because 
thou  hast  not  obeyed  the  voice  of 
the  Lord,  hehold,  as  soon  as  thou 
art  departed  from  me,  a lion  shall 
slay  thee.  And  as  soon  as  he  was 
departed  from  him,  •'"a  lion  found 
him,  and  slew  him. 

37  Then  he  found  another  man, 
and  said.  Smite  me,  I pray  thee. 
And  the  man  smote  him,  ^ so  that 
in  smiting  he  wounded  him. 

38  So  the  prophet  departed,  and 
waited  for  the  king  by  the  way, 
and  disguised  himself  with  ashes 
upon  his  face. 

39  And  ^as  the  king  passed  by,  he 
cried  unto  the  king : and  he  said. 
Thy  servant  went  out  into  the 
midst  of  the  battle ; and,  behold,  a 
man  turned  aside,  and  brought  a 
man  unto  me,  and  said.  Keep  this 
man : if  by  any  means  he  be  miss- 
ing, then  shall  thy  life  be  for  his 
life,  or  else  thou  shalt  ®pay  a talent 
of  silver. 

40  And  as  thy  servant  was  busy 
here  and  there,  ^he  was  gone.  And 
the  king  of  Is-ra-el  said  unto  him. 
So  shall  thy  judgment  he ; thyself 
hast  decided  it. 

41  And  he  hasted,  and  took  the 
ashes  away  from  his  face ; and  the 
king  of  Is-ra-el  discerned  him  that 
he  was  of  the  prophets. 

42  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  * Because  thou  hast 
let  go  out  of  thy  hand  a man  whom 
I appointed  to  utter  destruction, 
therefore  thy  life  shall  go  for  his 
life,  and  thy  people  for  his  people. 

43  And  the  king  of  Is-ra-6l  "‘went 
to  his  house  heavy  and  displeased, 
and  came  to  Sa-ma-ri-a.

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  these 
JLA.  things,  that^  Na-both  the  Jez- 
re-6l-ite  had  a vineyard,  which  was 
in  Jez-re-el,  hard  by  the  palace  of 
A-hab  king  of  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

2 And  A-hab  spake  unto  Na-bbth, 
saying.  Give  me  thy  ^vineyard,  that 
I may  have  it  for  a garden  of  herbs, 
because  it  is  near  unto  my  house : 
and  I will  give  thee  for  it  a better 
vineyard  than  it;  or,  if  it  ^seem 
good  to  thee,  I will  give  thee  the 
worth  of  it  in  money.  _ 

3 And  Na-bdth  said  to  A-hab,  The 
Lord  forbid  it  me,  ‘^that  I should 
give  the  inheritance  of  my  fathers 
unto  thee. 

4 And  A-hab  came  into  his  house 
heavy  and  displeased  because  of 
the  word  which  Na-bdth  the  Jez- 
re-6l-ite  had  spoken  to  him  : for  he 
had  said,  I will  not  give  thee  the 
inheritance  of  my  fathers.  And  he 
laid  him  down  upon  his  bed,  and 
turned  away  his  face,  and  would 
eat  no  bread. 

5 H But  J6z-e-bel  his  wife  came  to 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  Why  is 
thy  spirit  so  sad,  that  thou  eatest 
no  bread  1 

6 And  he  said  unto  her,  Because  I 
spake  unto  Na-b5th  the  J6z-r6-el- 
ite,  and  said  unto  him.  Give  me 
thjr  vineyard  for  money;  or  else, 
if  it  please  thee,  I will  give  thee 
another  vineyard  for  it : and  he  an- 
swered, I will  not  give  thee  my 
vineyard. 

7 And  Jez-6-b6l  his  wife  said  unto 
him.  Dost  thou  now  govern  the 
kingdom  of  Is-ra-6l  % arise,  and  eat 
bread,  and  let  thine  heart  be  merry : 
I will  give  thee  the  vineyard  of 
Na-bdth  the  J6z-r6-el-ite.  _ 

8 So  she  wrote  letters  in  A-hab’s 
name,  and  sealed  them  with  his 
seal,  and  sent  the  letters  unto  the 
elders  and  to  the  nobles  that  were 
in  his  city,  dwelling  with  Na-b6th. 

9 And  she  wrote  in  the  letters, 
saying.  Proclaim  a fast,  and  set  Na- 
both ^on  high  among  the  people  : 

10  And  set  two  men,  sons  of  Be- 
li-al,  before  him,  to  bear  witness 
against  him,  saying.  Thou  didst 
* blaspheme  God  and  the  king.  And 
then  carry  him  out,  and  ^ stone  him, 
that  he  may  die. 

11  And  the  men  of  his  city,  even 
the  elders  and  the  nobles  who  were 
the  inhabitants  in  his  city,  did  as 
J6z-6-b6l  had  sent  unto  them,  and 


Elijah  denounceth 


I.  KINGS,  22. 


Ahah  and  Jezebel. 


as  it  was  written  in  the  letters 
which  she  had  sent  unto  them. 

12  “They  proclaimed  a fast,  and 
set  Na-bOth  on  high  among  the 
people. 

13  And  there  came  in  two  men, 
children  of  Bedi-al,  and  sat  before 
him : and  the  men  of  Bedi-al  wit- 
nessed against  him,  even  against 
Na-b5th,  in  the  presence  of  the 
people,  saying,  Na-bOth  did  blas- 
pheme God  and  the  king.  ®Then 
they  carried  him  forth-  out  of  the 
city,  and  stoned  him  with  stones, 
that  he  died. 

14  Then  they  sent  to  Jez-e-bel, 
saying,  Na-b5th  is  stoned,  and  is 
dead. 

15  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
J6z-e-b6l  heard  that  Na-bdth  was 
stoned,  and  was  dead,  that  J ez-e-bel 
said  to  A-hab,  Arise,  take  posses- 
sion of  the  vineyard  of  Na-bSth  the 
Jez-r6-el-ite,  which  he  refused  to 
give  thee  for  money:  for  Na-bhth 
is  not  alive,  but  dead. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
A-hab  heard  that  Na-b6tn  was  dead, 
that  A-hab  rose  up  to  go  down  to 
the  vineyard  of  Na-b5th  the  J6z- 
r^-el-ite,  to  take  possession  of  it. 

17  IT  *And  the  word  of  the  Loed 

came  to  E-li-jah  the  Tish-bite, 
saying,  ^ 

18  Arise,  go  down  to  meet  A-ha_b 
king  of  Is-ra-el,  * which  is  in  Sa-ma-

Na-lb5th,  whither  he  is  gone  down 
to  possess  it. 

19  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto 
him,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Hast  thou  killed,  and  also  taken 
possession'?  And  thou  shalt  speak 
unto  him,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  ’^In  the  place  where  dogs 
licked  the  blood  of  Na-b5th  shall 
dogs  lick  thy  blood,  even  thine. 

20  And  A-hab  said  to  E-lTjah, 
“Hast  thou  found  me,  O mine  en- 
emy'? And  he  answered,  1 have 
found  thee:  because  ^thou  hast  sold 
thyself  to  work  evil  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord. 

21  Behold,  ’T  will  bring  evil  upon 
thee,  and  will  take  away  thy  pos- 
terity, and  will  cut  off  from  A-nab 
*him  that  pisseth  against  the  wall, 
and  *him  that  is  shut  up  and  left 
in  Is-ra-el, 

22  And  will  make  thine  house  like 
the  house  of  ^Jer-6-bo-am  the  son 
of  Ne-hat,  and  like  the  house  of 
^Ba-a-sha  the  son  of  A-hi-jah,  for 
the  provocation  wherewith  thou

the  city  the  dogs  shall  eat ; and  him 
that  dieth  in  the  field  shall  the 
fowls  of  the  air  eat. 

25AT  But  “there  was  none  like  un- 
to A-hab,  which  did  sell  himself  to 
work  wickedness  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord,  ‘^whom  Jez-e-bel  his  wife 
^stirred  up. 

26  And  lie  did  very  abominably 
in  following  idols,  according  to  all 
things  -^as  did  the  AmAr-ites,  whom 
the  Lord  cast  out  before  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-6l. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 

A-hab  heard  those  words,  that  he 
rent  his  clothes,  and  ^put  sack- 
cloth upon  his  flesh,  and  fasted, 
and  lay  in  sackcloth,  and  went 
softly.  , ^ , -r 

28  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
to  E-li-jah  the  Tish-bite^  saying, 

29  Seest  thou  how  A-hab  hum- 
bleth  himself  before  me?  because 
he  humbleth  himself  before  me,  I 
will  not  bring  the  evil  in  his  days  : 
but  ^in  his  son’s  days  will  I bring 
the  evil  upon  his  house. 

CHAPTER  22. 

1 Ahab,  seduced  bg  false  prophets,  according  to  the  word 
of  Micaiah,  is  slain  at  Ramoth-gilead.  37  The  dogs  lick 
up  his  blood,  and  Ahaziah  succeedeth  him.  41  Jehosha- 
phat's  good  reign.  45  Bis  acts.  50  Jehoram  succeedeth 
him.  51  Ahaziah' s evil  reign. 

AND  they  continued  three  years 
XI-  without  war  between  Syr-i-a 
and  Is-ra-el. 

2 And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  third 

year,  that  *Je-h5sh-a-phat  the  king 
of  Ju-dah  came  down  to  the  king 
of  Is-ra-el.  „ ~ , .1 

3 And  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  said  unto 
his  servants.  Know  ye  that  ^Ra-mCth 
in  Gil-e-ad  is  our’s,  and  we  be  ^ still, 
and  take  it  not  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  Bf  r-i-kl 

4 And  he  said  unto  Je-h5sh-a-phat, 
Wilt  thou  go  with  me  to  battle  to 
Ra-m5th-gil-6-ad  ? And  Je-h5sh-a- 
phat  said  to  the  king  of  Is-ra-el, « I 
am  as  thou  art,  my  people  as  thy 
people,  my  horses  as  thy  horses. 

5 And  J6-h6sh-a-;^at  said  unto 
the  king  of  Is-ra-el,  Enquire,  I pray 
thee,  at  the  word  of  the  Lord  to 

^6^Then  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  “gath- 
ered the  prophets  together,  about 
four  hundred  men,  and  said  unto 
them.  Shall  I go  against  Ra-mSth- 
gil-e-ad  to  battle,  or  shall  I forbear  ? 
And  they  said.  Go  up ; for  the  Lord 
shall  deliver  it  into  the  hand  of  the 
king. 

7 And  “Je-h5sh-a-phat  said,  Is

there  not  here  a prophet  of  the 
Lord  besides,  that  we  might  en- 
quire of  him  { ^ ^ ^ ^ 

8 And  the  king  of  Is-ra-6i  said 
unto  Jb-hosh-a-phat,  There  is  yet 
one  man,  Mi-eadah  the  son  of  Im- 
lah,  by  whom  we  may  enquire  of 
the  Lord  : but  I hate  him ; for  he 
doth  not  prophesy  good  concerning 
me,  but  evil.  And  Jc-hOsh-a-phat 
saim  Let  not  the  king  say  so. 

9 Then  the  king  of  Isd4-el  called 
an  ^officer,  and  said,  Hasten  hither 
Ml-«adah  the  son  of  Imdah. 

10  And  the  king  of  Is-ra-e_l  and  Je- 
h5sh-a-phat  the  king  of  Ju-dah  sat 
each  on  his  throne,  having  put  on 
their  robes,  in  a 'Void  place  in  the 
entrance  of  the  gate  of  Sa-maVi-a  ; 
and  all  the  prophets  prophesied 
before  them. 

1 1 And  Zed-e-ki-ah  the  son  of  -Ghe- 
na-a-nah  made  him  horns  of  iron : 
and  he  said.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
With  thesesnalt  thou  push  the  Syri- 
ans, until  thou  have  consumed  them. 

12  And  all  the  prophets  prophe- 
sied so.  saying.  Go  up  to  HadnOth- 
giT6-ad,  and  prosper : for  the  Lord 
shall  deliver  it  into  the  king’s  hand. 

13  And  the  rnessenger  that  was 
g9ne  to  call  Ml-eadah  spake  unto 
him,  saying.  Behold  now,  the  words 
of  the  prophets  declo.re  good  unto 
the  king  with  one  mouth : let  thy 
word,  I pray  thee,  be  like  the  word 
of  one  of  them,  and  speak  that 
which  is  good.  _ 

14  And  Mi-cadah  said.  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  ‘^what  the  Lord  saith  unto 
me,  that  will  I speak. 

15  U So  he  came  to  the  king.  And 
the  king  said  unto  him,  Ml-cadah, 
shall  we  go  against  Ra-mOth-gil-e-ad 
to  battle,  or  shall  we  forbear '?  And 
he  answered  him.  Go,  and  prpsper  : 
for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it  into 
the  hand  of  the  king. 

16  And  the  king  said  unto  him, 
How  many  times  shall  I adjure 
thee  that  thou  tell  me  nothing  but 
that  which  is  true  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord? 

17  And  he  said,  I saw  all  IsVa-el 
^scattered  upon  the  hills,  as  sheep 
that  have  not  a shepherd  : and  the 
Lord  said.  These  have  no  master : 
let  them  return  every  man  to  his 
house  in  peace. 

18  And  the  king  of  IsVa-6l  said 
unto  J e-h5sh-a-phat.  Did  I not  tell 
thee  that  he  would  prophesy  no 
good  concerning  me,  but  evil? 

19  And  he  said.  Hear  thou  there- 
fore the  wprd  of  the  Lord  : saw

20  And  the  Lord  said.  Who  shall 
V^rsuade  A-hab,  that  he  may  go  up 
and  fall  at  Ba-ni5th-gil-e-ad  ? And 
one  said^  on  this  manner,  and  an- 
other said  on  that  manner. 

2 1 And  there^  came  forth  a spirit, 
and  stood  before  the  Lord,  and 
said,  I v/ill  persuade  him. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Wherewith?  And  he  said,  I will 
go  forth,  and  I will  be  a lying  spirit 
in  the  mouth  of  all  his  prophets. 
And  he  said,  “Thou  shalt  persuade 
him,  and  prevail  also  : go  forth,  and 
do  so. 

23  ^Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
Lord  hath  put  a lying  spirit  in  the 
mouth  of  all  these  thy  prophets, 
and  the  Lord  hath  spoken  evil  con- 
cerning thee. 

24  But  Zed-e-ki-ah  the  son  of  Ghe- 
na-a-nah  went  near,  and  smote  Mi- 
ca-iah  on  the  cheek,  and  said, 
‘'Which  way  went  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  from  nie  to  speak  unto  thee  ? 

25  And  Mi-ca-ian  said.  Behold, 
thou  shalt  see  in  that  day,  when 
thou  shalt  go  ^into  ®an  inner  cham- 
ber to  hide  thyself. 

26  And  the  king  of  IsVa-6l  said. 
Take  Mi-cadah,  and  carry  him  back 
unto  A-m5n  the  governor  of  the 
city,  and  to  Jo-ash  the  king’s  son; 

27  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  king. 
Put  this  fellow  in  the  prison,  and 
feed  him  with  bread  of  affliction 
and  vHth  water  of  affliction,  until  I 
come  in  peace. 

28  And  Mi-ca-iah  said.  If  thou 
return  at  all  in  peace,  ‘'the  Lord 
hath  not  spoken  by  me.  And  he  said, 
Hearken,  0 people,  ever;^  one  of  you. 

29  So  the  king  of  IsVa-el  and  Jc- 
h5sh-a-phat  the  king  of  J u-dah  went 
up  to  Ra-m5th-gil-e-ad. 

30  And  the  king  of  IsVa-el  said 
unto  J e-h(jsh-a-phat,  will  disguise 
myself,  and  enter  into  the  battle: 
but  put  thou  on  thy  robes.  And 
the  king  of  IsVa-el  -^disguised  him- 
self, and  went  into  the  battle. 

31  But  the  king  of  Syr-i-a  com- 
manded his  thirty  and  two  captains 
that  had  rule  over  his  chariots, 
saying.  Fight  neither^  with  small 
nor  great,  save  only  with  the  king 
of  IsVa-el. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
captains  of  the  chariots  saw  Je- 
hOsh-a-phat,  that  they  said,  Surely 
it  is  the  king  of  IsVa-el.  And  they 
turned  aside  to  fight  against  him : 
and  Je-hosh-a-phat  'cried  out. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
captains  of  the  chariots  perceived 


The  death  of  Ahab.  II.  KINGS,  1. Jehoshaphaf  s good  reign.  \ 


that  it  was  not  the  king  of  I§-ra-el, 
that  they  turned  back  from  pur- 
suing him. 

34  And  a certain  man  drew  a bow 
^at  a venture,  and  smote  the  king 
of  Is-ra-el  between  the  ^joints  of 
the  harness  : wherefore  he  said  unto 
the  driver  of  his  chariot,  Turn  thine 
hand,  and  carry  me  out  of  the  host ; 
for  I am  ^ wounded. 

35  And  the  battle  ^increased  that 
day : and  the  king  was  stayed  up 
in  his  chariot  against  the  Syr4-ans, 
and  died  at  even : and  the  blood 
ran  out  of  the  wound  into  the 
® midst  of  the  chariot. 

36  And  there  went  a proclamation 
throughout  the  host  about  the  go- 
ing down  of  the  sun,  saying.  Every 
man  to  his  city,  and  every  man  to 
his  own  country. 

37  ^ So  the  king  died,  and  ’was 
brought  to  Sa-ma-ri-a ; and  they 
buried  the  king  in  Sa-ma-ri-a.  . 

38  And  one  washed  the  chariot  in 
the  pool  of  Sa-ma-ri-a  ; and  the  dogs 
licked  up  his  blood;  and  they  washed 
his  armour;  according  *unto  the 
word  of  the  Lord  which  he  spake. 

39  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
A-hab,  and  all  that  he  did,  and  ^ the 
ivory  nouse  which  he  made,  and  all 
the  cities  that  he  built,  are  they  not 
written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Is-ra-el '?

aside  from  it,  doing  that  which  was 
right  in  the  eyes  ^ of  the  Lord  : 
nevertheless  “the  high  places  were 
not  taken  away  ; for  the  people  of- 
fered and  burnt  incense  yet  in  the 
high  places. 

44  And  *JAh5sh-a-phat  made  peace 
with  the  king  of  Is-ra-el.

shewed,  and  h9w  he  warred,  are  they

it  not  because  there  is  not  a God  in

turned  back  unto  him,  he  said  unto

unto  us.  Go,  turn  again  unto  the

manner  of  man  was  he  which  came 
up  to  meet  you,  and  told  you  these 
words  % 

8 And  they  answered  him.  He  was 
“an  hairy  man,  and  girt  with  a girdle 
of  leather  about  his  loins.  And  he 
sai(L  It  is  E-li-jah  the  Tish-bite. 

9 Then  the  king  sent  unto  him  a 
captain  of  fifty  with  his  fifty.  And 
he  went  up  to  him : and,  behold,  he 
sat  on  the  top  of  an  hill.  And  he 
spake  unto  him.  Thou  man  of  God, 
the  king  hath  said.  Come  down. 

10  And  E-h-jah  answered  and  said 
to  the  captain  of  fifty.  If  I a man 
of  God,  then  ‘^let  fire  come  dov/n 
from  heaven,  and  consume  thee  and 
thy  fifty.  And  there  came  down 
fire  from  heaven,  and  consumed 
him  and  his  fifty. 

11  Again  also  he  sent  unto  him 
another  captain  of  fifty  with  his 
fifty.  And  he  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  O man  of  God,  thus  hath 
the  king  said.  Come  down  quickly. 

12  And  E-h-jah  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  If  I a man  of  God,  let 
fire  come  down  from  heaven,  and 
consume  thee  and  thy  fifty.  And 
the  fire  of  God  came  down  from 
heaven,  and  consumed  him  and  his 
fifty. 

13  H And  he  sent  again  a captain 
of  the  third  fifty  with  his  fifty. 
And  the  third  captain  of  fifty  went 
up  and  came  and  ^fell  on  his  knees 
before  E-li-jah,  and  besought  him, 
and  said  unto  him,  O man  of  God, 
I pray  thee,  let  my  life,  and  the 
life  oi  these  fifty  thy  servants,  '^be 
precious  in  thy  sight.

14  Behold,  there  came  fire  down 
from  heaven,  and  burnt  up  the  two 
captains  of  the  former  fifties  with 
their  fifties : therefore  let  my  life 
now  be  precious  in  thy  sight. 

15  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said 
unto  E-li-jah,  Go  down  with  him  : be 
not  afraid  of  him.  And  he  arose, 
and  went  down  with  him  unto  the 
king. 

16  And  he  said  unto  him.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Forasmuch  as  thou 
hast  sent  messengers  to  enquire  of 
Ba-al-ze-bub  the  god  of  Ek-rfin,  is 
it  not  because  there  is  no  God  in  Is- 
ra-el  to  enquire  of  his  word  ? there- 
fore thou  shalt  not  come  down  olf 
that  bed  on  which  thou  art  gone 
up,  but  shalt  surely  die. 

1 7 IT  So  he  died  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord  which  E-h-jah  had 
spoken.  And  ^Je-ho-ram  reigned  in 
his  stead  in  the  second  year  of  J A 
ho-ram  the  son  of  JAh6sh-a-phat 
king  of  Ju-dah ; because  he  had  no 
son. 

18  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
A-ha-zi-ah  which  he  did,  are  they 
not  written  in  the  book  of  ^ the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is-ra-el? 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Elijah,  taking  his  leave  of  Elisha,  with  his  mantle  divid- 
eth  Jordan,  11  and  is  taken  up  by  a fiery  chariot  into 
heaven.  12  Elisha,  dividing  Jordan  with  Elijah's  mantle, 
is  acknowledged  his  successor.  19  Elisha  with  salt  healeth 
the  unwholesome  waters.  23  Bears  destroy  the  children 
that  mocked  Elisha. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
^IJL  Lord  would  *take  up  E-li-jah 
into  heaven  by  a whirlwind,  that 
E-li-jah  went  with  ‘'E-h-sha  from 
Gil-gal.  _ ^ 

2 And  E-h-jah  said  unto  E-li-sha, 
® Tarry  here,  I pray  thee;  for  the 
Lord  hath  sent  me  to  B6th'-el. 
And  E-li-sha  said  unto  him,  As 
the  Lord  liveth,  and  ^as  thy  soul 
liveth,  I will  not  leave  thee.  So 
they  went  down  to  Beth'-el. 

3 And  ^the  sons  of  the  prophets 
that  were  at  Beth'-6l  carne  forth  to 
E-li-sha,  and  said  unto  him,  Know- 
est  thou  that  the  Lord  will  take 
away  thy  master  from  thy  head  to 
day?  And  he  said.  Yea,  I know  it; 
hold  ye  your  peace. 

4 And  E-li-jah  said  unto  him,  E-li- 
sha,  tarry  here,  I pray  thee ; for  the 
Lord  hath  sent  me  to  Jgr-i-eho. 
And  he  said.  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I will  not 
leave  thee.  So  they  came  to  Jer- 
i-eho. 

5 And  the  sons  of  the  prophets 
that  were  at  J6r-i-eho  came  to  E-li- 
sha,  and  said  unto  him,  Knovsst 
thou  that  the  Lord  will  take  away 
thy  master  from  thy  head  to  day  ? 


Elijah  is  taken 


II.  KINGS,  3. 


up  into  heaven. 


And  he  answered,  Yea,  I know  it ; 
hold  ye  your  peace. 

6 And  E-li-jah  said  unto  him, 
Tarry,  I pray  thee,  here;  for  the 
Lord  hath  sent  me  to  J 6r-dan.  And 
he  said.  As  the  Lord  liveth,  and 
as  thy  soul  liveth,  I will  not  leave 
thee.  And  they  two  went  on. 

7 And  fifty  men  of  the  sons  of 
the  prophets  went,  and  stood  Ho 
view  afar  off : and  they  two  stood 
by  Jdr-dan. 

8 And  E-h-jah  took  his  mantle, 
and  wrapped  it  together,  and  srnote 
the  waters,  and  "they  were  divided 
hither  and  thither,  so  that  they  two 
went  over  on  dry  ground. 

9 H And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  gone  over,  that  E-h-jah 
said  unto  E-li-sha,  Ask  what  I shall 
do  for  thee,  before  I be  taken  away 
from  thee.  And  E-li-sha  said,  I 
pray  thee,  let  a double  portion  of 
thy  spirit  be  upon  me. 

10  And  he  said,  ^Thou  hast  asked 
a hard  thing : nevertheless,  if  thou 
see  me  when  I am  taken  from  thee, 
it  shall  be  so  unto  thee ; but  if  not, 
it  shall  not  be  so. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
still  went  on,  and  talked,  that,  be- 
hold, there  appeared  ®a  chariot  of 
fire,  and  horses  of  fire,  and  parted 
them  both  asunder-  and  E-li-jah 
went  up  by  a whirlwind  into 
heaven.  _ 

12  And  E-h-sha  saw  it,  and  he 
cried,  ‘^My  father,  my  father,  the 
chariot  of  IsHa-el,  and  the  horse- 
men thereof.  And  he  saw  him  no 
more  : and  he  took  hold  of  his  own 
clothes,  and  rent  them  in  two  pieces. 

13  He  took  up  also  the  mantle  of 
E-li-jah  that  fell  from  him,  and 
went  back,  and  stood  by  the  ^bank 
of  Jor-dan; 

14  And  he  took  the  mantle  of  E- 
li-jah  that  fell  from  him,  and  smote 
the  waters,  and  said,  Where  the 
Lord  God  of  E-li-jah'?  and  when 
he  also  had  smitten  the  waters, 
Hhey  parted  hither  and  thither: 
and  E-li-sha  went  over. 

15  And  when  the  sons  of  the  pro- 
phets which  were  ^'to  view  at  Jer-i- 
eho  saw  him,  they  said.  The  spirit 
of  E-li-jah  doth  rest  on  E-li-sha. 
And  they  came  to  meet  him,  and 
bowed  themselves  to  the  ground 
before  him. 

16  51  And  they  said  unto  him.  Be- 
hold now,  there  be  with  thy  serv- 
ants fifty  ® strong  men ; let  them 
go,  we  pray  thee,  and  seek  thy  mas- 
ter: *lest  perad venture  the  Spirit 
of  the  Lord  hath  taken  him  up,  and

into  some  valley.  And  he  said,  Ye 
shall  not  send. 

17  And  when  they  urged  him  till 
he  was  ashamed,  he  said.  Send. 
They  sent  therefore  fifty  men ; and 
they  sought  three  days,  but  found 
him  not. 

18  And  when  they  came  again  to 
him,  (for  he  tarried  at  Jer-i-cho,) 
he  said  unto  them,  Did  I not  say 
unto  you.  Go  not'? 

1 9 II  And  the  men  of  the  city  said 
unto  E-li-sha,  Behold,  I pray  thee, 
the  situation  of  this  city  is  pleasant, 
as  my  lord  seeth : but  the  water  is 
naught,  and  the  ground  ^barren. 

20  And  he  said.  Bring  me  a new 
cruse,  and  put  salt  therein.  And 
they  brought  it  to  him. 

21  And  he  went  forth  unto  the 
spring  of  the  waters,  and  ^cast  the 
salt  in  there,  and  said.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  I have  healed  these  wa- 
ters ; there  shall  not  be  from  thence 
any  more  death  or  barren  land. 

22  So  the  waters  were  healed  unto 
this  day,  according  to  the  saying  of 
E-li-sha  which  he  spake. 

23  51  And  he  went  up  from  thence 
unto  Beth'-el : and  as  he  was  going 
up  by  the  way,  there  came  forth 
little  children  out  of  the  city,  and 
mocked  him,  and  said  unto  him.  Go 
up,  thou  bald  head;  go  up,  thou 
bald  head. 

24  And  he  turned  back,  and  looked 
on  them,  and  cursed  them  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord.  And  there  came 
forth  two  she  bears  out  of  the  wood, 
and  tare  forty  and  two  children  of 
them. 

25  And  he  went  from  thence  to 
mount  -Gar-mel,  and  from  thence 
he  returned  to  Sa-maHi-a. 

CHAPTER  3. 

1 JehorarrCs  reign  4 Mesha  rebelleth.  6 Jehoram,  vMh 
Jehoshaphat,  and  the  king  of  Edom,  being  distressed  for 
want  of  water,  by  Elisha  obtaineth  water,  and  promise 
of  victory.  21  The  Moabites,  coming  to  spoil,  are  over- 
come. 26  The  king  of  Moab,  by  sacrificing  the  king  of 
Edom's  son,  raiseth  the  siege, 

IVTOW  ^JAhoHam  the  son^of  Aj 
1.1  hab  began  to  reign  over  IsHa-6l 
in  Sa-maHi-a  the  eighteenth  year  | 
Je-h6sh-a-phat  king  of  Ju-dan,  and 
reigned  twelve  years.  _ 

2 And  he  wrought  evil  in  thj  sight 
of  the  Lord;  but  not  like  his  fe- 
ther,  and  like  his  mother  for  he 
put  away  the  ® image  of  Ba-al  ^that 
his  father  had  made. 

3 Nevertheless  he  cleaved  untc 
Hhe  sins  of  J6r-6-bo-am  the  son  of 
Ne-bat,  which  made  IsHa-el  to  sin; 
he  departed  not  therefrom. 

4 51  And  Me-sha  king  of  Mo-ab 
was  a sheepmaster,  and  rendered 
unto  the  king  of  I§Ha-6l  an  hundred 


thousand  “lambs,  and  an  hundred 
thousand  rams,  with  the  wool. 

5 But  it  came  to  pass,  when  *A-hab 
was  dead,  that  the  king  of  Mo-ab 
rebelled  against  the  king  of  Is-rd-el. 

6 ^ And  king  Je-ho-ram  went  out 
of  SAmah‘I-a  the  same  time,  and 
numbered  all  Ish‘a-el. 

7 And  he  went  and  sent  to  Je- 
hOsh-a-phat  the  king  of  Ju-dah, 
saying.  The  king  of  Mo-ab  hath 
rebelled  against  me : wilt  thou  go 
with  me  against  Mo-ab  to  battled 
And  he  said,  I will  go  up:  M am 
as  thou  art,  my  people  as  thy  peo- 
ple, and  my  horses  as  thj^  horses. 

8 And  he  said.  Which  way  shall  we 
go  up '?  And  he  answered.  The  way 
through  the  wilderness  of  E-d6m. 

9 So  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  went,  and 
the  king  of  Ju-dah,  and  the  king  of 
E-d5m  : and  they  fetched  a compass 
of  seven  days’  journey : and  there 
was  no  water  for  the  host,  and  for 
the  cattle  ^ that  followed  them. 

10  And  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  said, 
Alas ! that  the  Lord  hath  called 
these  three  kings  together,  to  de- 
liver them  into  the  hand  of  Mo-ab  ! 

11  But  ®JAh5sh-a-phat  said.  Is 
there  not  here  a prophet  of  the 
Lord,  that  we  m.ay  enquire  of  the 
Lord  by  himl  And  one  of  the 
king  of  Is-ra-el’s  servants  answered 
and  said.  Here  is  E-li-sha  the  son  of 
Sha-phat,  which  poured  water  on 
the  hands  of  E-li-jah. 

12  And  J4-h5sh-Aphat  said.  The 
word  of  the  Lord  is  with  him.  So 
the  king  of  Is-ra-6l  and  Je-h6sh-a- 

§hat  and  the  king  of  E-d(3m-^went 
own  to  him. 

13  And  E-li-sha  said  unto  the  king 
of  Is-ra-el,  *What  have  I to  do  with 
theel  *get  thee  to  *the  prophets  of 
thy  father,  and  to  the  prophets  of 
thy  mother.  And  the  king  of  Is- 
ra-6l  said  unto  him.  Nay:  for  the 
Lord  hath  called  these  three  kings 
together,  to  deliver  them  into  the 
hand  of  Mo-ab. 

14  And  E-li-sha  said,  ^As  the  Lord 
of  hosts  liveth,  before  whom  I stand, 
surely,  were  it  not  that  I regard  the 
presence  of  Je-hosh-a-phat  the  king 
of  Ju-dah,  I would  not  look  toward 
thee,  nor  see  thee. 

15  But  now  bring  me  ”a  minstrel. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  min- 
strel played,  that  Hhe  hand  of  the 
Lord  came  upon  him. 

16  And  he  said.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  «Make  this  valley  full  of 
ditches. 

17  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye

filled  with  water,  that  ye  may  drink, 
both  ye,  and  your  cattle,  and  your 
beasts. 

18  And  this  is  but  a light  thing  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord  : he  will  de^ 
liver  the  Mo-ab-ites  also  into  your 
hand. 

19  And  ye  shall  smite  every  fenced 
city,  and  every  choice  city,  and  shall 
fell  every  good  tree,  and  stop  all 
wells  of  water,  and  ^mar  every  good 
piece  of  land  with  stones. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morn- 
ing, when  ‘^the  meat  offering  was 
ofiered,  that,  behold,  there  came 
water  by  the  way  of  E^dOm,  and 
the  country  was  filled  with  water. 

21  ^ And  when  all  the  Mo-ab-ites 
heard  that  the  kings  were  come  up 
to  fightagainst  them,  they^gathered 
all  that  were  able  to  ^put  on  armour, 
and  upward,  and  stood  in  the  border. 

22  And  they  rose  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  the  sun_  shone  upon 
the  water,  and  the  Mo-ab-ites  saw 
the  water  on  the  other  side  as  red 
as  blood : 

23  And  they  said.  This  is  blood: 
the  kings  are  surely  ®slain,  and  they 
have  smitten  one  another  : now 
therefore,  Mo-ab,  to  the  spoil. 

24  And  when  they  came  ^ to  the 
camp  of  IsYa-el,  the  Is-ra-el-ites 
rose  up  and  smote  the  Mo-ab-ites, 
so  that  they  fled  before  them : but 
®they  went  forward  smiting  the 
Mo-ab-ites,  even  in  their  country. 

25  And  they  beat  down  the  cities, 
and  on  every  good  piece  of  land 
cast  every  man  his  stone,  and  filled 
it ; and  they  stopped  all  the  wells 
of  water,  and  felled  all  the  good 
trees  : "^only  in  ®'Kir-har-a-seth  left 
they  the  stones  thereof ; howbeit 
the  slingers  went  about  it,  and 
smote  it. 

26  H And  when  the  king  of  Mo-ab 
saw  that  the  battle  was  too  sore 
for  him,  he  took  with  him  seven 
hundred  men  that  drew  swords,  to 
break  through  even  unto  the  king 
of  E-dom : but  they  could  not. 

27  Then  ’"he  took  his  eldest  son 
that  should  have  reigned  in  his 
stead,  and  offered  him  for  a burnt 
offering  upon  the  wall.  And  there 
was  great  indignation  against  Is- 
ra-el  : “and  they  departed  from  him, 
and  returned  to  their  own  land.

said.  Thine  handmaid  hath  not  any 
thing  in  the  house,  save  a pot  of 
oil. 

3 Then  he  said.  Go,  borrow  thee 
vessels  abroad  of  all  thy  neigh- 
bours, even  empty  vessels  ; ‘^bor- 
row ^ not  a few. 

4 And  when  thou  art  come  in, 
thou  shalt  shut  the  door  upon  thee 
and  upon  thy  sons,  and  shalt  pour 
out  into  all  those  vessels,  and  thou 
shalt  set  aside  that  which  is  full. 

5 So  she  went  from  him,  and  shut 
the  door  upon  her  and  upon  her 
sons,  who  brought  the  vessels  to  her  ; 
and  she  poured  out. 

6 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
vessels  were  full,  that  she  said  un- 
to her  son.  Bring  me  yet  a vessel. 
And  he  said  unto  her.  There  is  not 
a vessel  more.  And  the  oil  stayed. 

7 Then  she  came  and  told  the 
man  of  God.  And  he  said.  Go, 
sell  the  oil,  and  pay  thy  ^debt, 
and  live  thou  and  thy  children  of 
the  rest. 

8 H And  ^it  fell  on  a day,  that 
E-li-sha  passed  to  ®Shu-n6m,  where 
was  a great  woman  : and  she  ^con- 
strained him  to  eat  bread.  And  so 
it  was,  that  as  oft  as  he  passed  by, 
he  turned  in  thither  to  eat  bread. 

9 And  she  said  unto  her  husband. 
Behold  now,  I perceive  that  this  is 
an  holy  man  of  God,  which  passeth 
by  us  continually. 

10  Let  us  make  a little  chamber, 
I pray  thee,  on  the  wall ; and  let  us 
set  for  him  there  a bed,  and  a table, 
and  a stool,  and  a candlestick  : and 
it  shall  be,  when  he  cqmeth  to  us, 
that  he  shall  turn  in  thither. 

11  And  it  fell  on  a day,  that  he 
came  thither,  and  he  turned  into 
the  cham.ber,  and  lay  there. 

12  And  he  said  to  Ge-ha-zi  his 
servant,  Call  this  Shu-nam-mite. 
And  when  he  had  called  her,  she 
stood  before  him. 

13  And  he  said  unto  him.  Say  now 
unto  her,  Behold,  thou  hast  been 
careful  for  us  with  all  this  care ; 
what  is  to  be  done  for  thee  1 would- 
est  thou  be  spoken  for  to  the  king, 
or  to  the  captain  of  the  host  ^ And 
she  answered,  I dwell  among  mine 
own  people. 

14  And  he  said.  What  then  is  to 
be  done  for  her  % And  Ge-ha-zi  an-

swered.  Verily  she  hath  no  child, 
and  her  husband  is  old. 

15  And  he  said.  Call  her.  And 
when  he  had  called  her,  she  stood 
in  the  door. 

16  And  he  said,  ^ About  this  ^sea- 
son, according  to  the  time  of  life, 
thou  shalt  embrace  a son.  And  she 
said.  Nay,  my  lord,  thou  man  of 
God,  ®do  not  lie  unto  thine  hand- 
maid. 

1 7 And  the  woman  conceived,  and 
bare  a son  at  that  season  that  E-li- 
sha  had  said  unto  her,  according  to 
the  time  of  life. 

18  ‘If  And  when  the  child  was 
grown,  it  fell  on  a day,  that  he  went 
out  to  his  father  to  the  reapers. 

19  And  he  said  unto  his  father. 
My  head,  my  head.  And  he  said 
to  a lad,  Carry  him  to  his  mother. 

20  And  when  he  had  teken  him, 
and  brought  him  to  his  mother, 
he  sat  on  her  knees  till  noon,  and 
then  died. 

21  And  she  went  up,  and  laid  him 
on  the  bed  of  the  man  of  God,  and 
shut  the  door  upon  him,  and  went 
out. 

22  And  she  called  unto  her  hus- 
band, and  said.  Send  me,  I pray 
thee,  one  of  the  young  men,  and 
one  of  the  asses,  that  I may  run  to 
the  man  of  God,  and  come  again. 

23  And  he  said.  Wherefore  wilt 
thou  go  to  him  to  dayl  it  is  nei- 
ther new  moon,  nor  sabbath.  And 
she  said.  It  shall  he  ®well. 

24  Then  she  saddled  an  ass,  and 
said  to  her  servant.  Drive,  and  go 
forward ; slack  not  thy  riding  for 
me,  except  I bid  thee. 

25  So  she  went  and  came  unto 
the  man  of  God  ^ to  mount  -Car-mel. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
man  of  God  saw  her  afar  off,  that 
he  said  to  Ge-ha-zi  his  servant.  Be- 
hold, yonder  is  that  Shu-nam-mite  : 

26  Bun  now,  I pray  thee,  to  meet 
her,  and  say  unto  her.  Is  it  well 
with  thee  1 is  it  well  with  thy  hus- 
band % is  it  well  with  ^ the  child  1 
And  she  answered.  It  is  well. 

27  And  when  she  ca,me  to  the  man 
of  God  to  the  hill,  she  caught  ®him 
by  the  feet : but  Ge-ha-zi  came  near 
to  thrust  her  aw*ay.  And  the  man 
of  God  said.  Let  her  alone ; for  her 
soul  is  ^vexed  within  her : and  the 
Lord  hath  hid  it  from  me,  and 
hath  not  told  me. 

28  Then  she  said,  Did  I desire  a 

son  of  my  lord'?  ^did  I not  say.  Do 
not  deceive  me'?  _ , 

29  Then  he  said  to  Gg-ha-zi,  ^‘Gird 
up  thy  loins,  and  take  my  staff 
in  thine  hand,  and  go  thy  way;

Naaman  sent  to  Samaria. 


if  thou  meet  any  man,  “salute  him 
not ; and  if  any  salute  thee,  answer 
him  not  again : and  ‘^lay  my  staff 
upon  the  face  of  the  child. 

30  And  the  mother  of  the  child 
said,  ^As  the  Lord  liveth,  and  as 
thy  soul  liveth,  I will  not  leave  thee. 
And  he  arose,  and  followed  her. 

31  And  Ge-ha-zi  passed  on  before 
them,  and  laid  the  staff*  upon  the 
face  of  the  child ; but  there  was 
neither  voice,  nor  ^hearing.  Where- 
fore he  went  again  to  meet  him, 
and  told  him,  saying.  The  child  is 
'^not  awaked. 

^32  And  when  E-ll-sha  was  come 
Into  the  house,  behold,  the  child 
was  dead,  and  laid  upon  his  bed. 

33  He  *went  in  therefore,  and 
shut  the  door  upon  them  twain, 
'and  prayed  unto  the  Lord. 

34  And  he  went  up,  and  lay  upon 
the  child,  and  put  his  mouth  upon 
his  mouth,  and  his  eyes  upon  his 
eyes,  and  his  hands  upon  his  hands ; 
and  “he  stretched  himself  upon  the 
child;  and  the  flesh  of  the  child 
waxed  warm. 

^ 35  Then  he  returned,  and  walked 
in  the  house  '^to  and  fro  ; and  went 
up,  ^and  stretched  himself  upon 
him : and  ^the  child  sneezed  seven 
times,  and  the  child  opened  his  eyes. 

36  And  he  called  Ge-ha-zi,  and 
said.  Call  this  Shu-nam-mite.  So 
he  called  her.  And  when  she  was 
come  in  unto  him,  he  said.  Take  up 
thy  son. 

37  Then  she  went  in,  and  fell  at 
his  feet,  and  bowed  herself  to  the 
ground,  and  ’’took  up  her  son,  and 
went  out. 

38^^  And  E-li-sha  came  again  to 
*GiTgal : and  there  was  a 'dearth  in 
the  land ; and  the  sons  of  the  pro- 
phets were  * sitting  before  him : and 
he  said  unto  his  servant.  Set  on  the 
great  pot,  and  seethe  pottage  for 
the  sons  of  the  prophets. 

39  And  one  went  out  into  the  field 
to  gather  herbs,  and  found  a wild 
vine,  and  gathered  thereof  wild 
gourds  his  Jap  full,  and  came  and 
shred  them  into  the  pot  of  pottage  : 
for  they  knew  them  not. 

40  So  they  poured  out  for  the  men 
to  eat.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
they  were  eating  of  the  pottage, 
that  they  cried  out,  and  said,  O 
them  man  of  God,  there  is  *death 
in  the  pot.  And  they  could  not 
eat  thereof. 

41  But  he  said.  Then  bring  meal. 
And  “he  cast  it  into  the  pot ; and 
he  said.  Pour  out  for  the  people, 
that  they  may  eat.  And  there  was 
no  ^harrn  in  the  pot.

I^OW  ”*^Na-a-man,  captain  of  the 
host  of  the  king  of  Syrd-a,  was 
” a great  man  ^ with  his  master,  and 
honourable,  because  by  him  the 
Lord  had  given  ^ deliverance  unto 
Syrd-a : he  was  also  a mighty  man 
in  valour,  but  he  was  a leper. 

2 And  the  Syrd-ans  had  gone  out 
by  companies,  and  had  brought 
away  captive  out  of  the  land  of  Is- 
ra-el  a little  maid  ; and  she  ® waited 
on  Na-a-man’s  wife. 

3 And  she  said  unto  her  mistress. 
Would  God  my  lord  were  ®with  the 
prophet  that  is  in  Sa-ma-ri-a ! for  he 
would  ^ recover  hirn  of  his  leprosy. 

4 And  one  went  in,  and  told  his 
lord,  saying.  Thus  and  thus  said  the 
maid  that  is  of  the  land  of  Is-rd-el. 

5 And  the  king  of  Syrd-a  said.  Go 
to,  go,  and  I will  send  a letter  unto 
the  king  of  Is-ra-6l.  And  he  depart- 
ed, and  “took  ^with  him  ten  talents 
of  silver,  and  six  thousand  pieces  of 
gold,  and  ten  changes  of  raiment. 

6 And  he  brought  the  letter  to  the 
king  of  Is-_ra-el,  saying.  Now  when 
this  letter  is  come  unto  thee,  behold, 
I have  therewith  sent  Na-a-man  my 
servant  to  thee,  that  thou  mayest 
recover  him  of  his  leprosy. 

7 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
king  of  ts-ra-6l  had  read  the  letter, 
that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and  said. 
Am  I 2/ God,  to  kill  and  to  make 
alive,  that  this  man  doth  send  unto 
me  to  recover  a man  of  his  leprosy  1 
wherefore  consider,  I pray  you,  and 
see  how  he  seeketh  a quarrel  against 
me. 

8 U And  it  was  so,  when  E-li-sha 
the  man  of  God  had  heard  that 
the  king  of  Is-ra-6l  had  rent  his 
clothes  that  lie  sent  to  the  king, 
saying.  Wherefore  hast  thou  rent 
thy  clothes'?  let  him  come  now  to 


Elisha  cureth  Naaman.

me,  and  he  shall  know  that  there 
is  a prophet  in  Is-ra-el. 

9 So  Na-a-rnan  came  with  his 
horses  and  with  his  cha.riot,  and 
stood  at  the  door  of  the  house  of 
E-li-sha.  _ 

10  And  E-li-sha  sent  a messenger 
unto  him,  saying,  Go  and  “ wash  in 
Jor-dan  seven  times,  and  thy  flesh 
shall  come  again  to  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  be  clean. 

11  But  Na-a-man  was  wroth,  and 
went  away,  and  said.  Behold,  ^‘“^I 
thought.  He  will  surely  come  out 
to  me,  and  stand,  and  call  on  the 
name  of  the  Lord  his  God,  and 
^strike  his  hand  over  the  place, 
and  recover  the  leper. 

12  Are  not  ® Ab-a-na  and  Phar-par, 
rivers  of  Ha-mas-ctis,  better  than  all 
the  waters  of  IsAa-en  may  I not 
wash  in  them,  and  be  clean  % So  he 
turned  and  went  away  in  a rage. 

13  And  his  servants  came  near, 
and  spake  unto  him,  and  said.  My 
father,  if  the  prophet  had  bid  thee 
do  some  great  thing,  wouldest  thou 
not  have  done  it how  much  rather 
then,  when  he  saith  to  thee.  Wash, 
and  be  clean  1 

14  Then  went  he  down,  and  dipped 
himself  seven  times  in  Jdr-dan,  ac- 
cording to  the  saying  of  the  man 
of  God:  and  ^his  flesh  came  again 
like  unto  the  flesh  of  a little  child, 
and  ° he  was  clean. 

15  ^ And  he  returned  to  the  man 
of  God,  he  and  all  his  company, 
and  came,  and  stood  before  him : 
and  he  said.  Behold,  now  I know 
that  there  is  ‘*no  God  in  all  the 
earth,  but  in  Is-ra-el : now  there- 
fore, I pray  thee,  take  ^a  blessing 
of  thy  servant. 

16  But  he  said,  Als  the  Lord  liv- 
eth,  before  whom  I stand,  ^I  will 
receive  none.  And  he  urged  him 
to  take  it;  but  he  refused. 

17  And  Na-a-man  said.  Shall  there 
not  then,  I pray  thee,  be  given  to 
thy  servant  two  mules’  burden  of 
earth'?  for  thy  servant  will  hence- 
forth offer  neither  burnt  offering 
nor  sacrifice  unto  other  gods,  but 
unto  the  Lord. 

18  In  this  thing  the  Lord  pardon 
thy  servant,  that  when  my  master 
goeth  into  tne  house  of  Bimhnon  to 
worship  there,  and  ^he  leaneth  on 
my  hand,  and  I bow  myself  in  the 
house  of  Rim-mDn : wnen  I bow 
down  myself  in  the  house  of  Rim- 
m5n,  the  Lord  pardon  thy  servant 
in  this  thing. 

19  And  he  said  unto  him.  Go  in 
peace.  So  he  departed  from  him 

little  way.

20  U But  Ge-ha-zi,  the  servant  of 

E-li-sha  the  man  of  God,  said.  Be- 
hold, my  master  hath  spared  Na-a- 
man  this  Syr4-an,  in  not  receiving 
at  his  hands  that  which  he  brought : 
but,  as  the  Lord  liveth,  I will  run 
after  him,  and  take  somewhat  of 
him. 

21  So  Ge-ha-zi  followed  after  Na-a- 
man.  And  when  Na-a-man  saw  him 
running  after  him,  he  lighted  down 
from  the  chariot  to  meet  him,  and 
said,  ^ Is  all  well '? 

22  And  he  said,  All  is  well.  My 
master  hath  sent  me,  saying,  Be- 
hold, even  now  there  be  come  to  me 
from  mount  Eb^hra-im  two  young 
men  of  the  sons  of  the  prophets : 
give  them,  I pray  thee,  a talent  of 
silver,  and  two  changes  of  gar- 
ments. 

23  And  Na-a-man  said.  Be  content, 
take  two  talents.  And  he  urged 
him,  and  bound  two  talents  of  sil- 
ver in  two  bags,  with  two  changes 
of  garments,  and  laid  them  upon 
two  of  his  servants ; and  they  bare 
them  before  him. 

24  And  when  he  came  to  the 
® tower,  he  took  them  from^  their 
hand,  and  bestowed  them  in  the 
house  : and  he  let  the  men  go,  and 
they  departed. 

25  But  he  went  in,  arid  stood  be- 
fore his  master.  And  E-li-sha  said 
unto  him.  Whence  comest  thou,  Ge- 
ha-zi*?  And  he  said.  Thy  servant 
went  ’no  whither. 

26  And  he  said  unto  him.  Went 
not  mine  heart  with  thee,  when  the 
man  turned  again  from  his  chariot 
to  meet  thee*?  Is  it  a time  to  re- 
ceive money,  and  to  receive  gar- 
ments, and  oliveyards,  and  vine- 
yards, and  sheep,  and  oxen,  and 
menservants,  and  maidservants'? 

27  The  leprosy  therefore  of  Na-a- 
man  ^ shall  cleave  unto  thee,  and 
unto  thy  seed  for  ever.  And  he

CHAPTER  6. 

1 Elisha  causeth  iron  to  swim.  8 Re  discloseth  the  king 
of  Syria's  counsel.  13  The  army,  which  was  sent  to 
Dothan  to  apprehend  Elisha,  is  smitten  with  blindness. 
19  Being  brought  into  Samaria,  they  are  dismissed  in 
peace.  24  The  famine  in  Samaria  causeth  women  to  eat 
their  own  children.  30  The  king  sendeth  to  slay  Elisha. 

AND  *the  sons  of  the  prophets  said 
XX  unto  E-li-sha,  Behold  now,  the 
place  where  we  dwell  with  thee  is 
too  strait  for  us. 

2 Let  us  go,  we  pray  thee,  unto 
Jdr-dan,  and  take  thence  every  man 
a beam,  and  let  us  make  us  a place 
there,  where  we  may  dwell.  And 
he  answered.  Go  ye. 

3 And  one  said,  Be  content,  I pray 


The  hing  of  SyvicL  II.  KINGS,  6.  wctTveih  dgainst  IsTdeo, 


thee,  and  go  with  thy  servants. 
And  he  answered,  I will  go. 

4 So  he  went  with  them.  And 
when  they  came  to  Jdr-dan,  they 
cut  down  wood. 

5 But  as  one  was  felling  a beam, 
the  ^ax  head  fell  into  the  water; 
and  he  cried,  and  said,  Alas,  mas- 
ter ! for  it  was  borrowed. 

6 And  the  man  of  God  said.  Where 
fell  itl  And  he  shewed  him  the 
place.  And  ‘'he  cut  down  a stick, 
and  cast  it  in  thither ; and  the  iron 
did  swim. 

7 Therefore  said  he.  Take  it  up  to 
thee.  And  he  put  out  his  hand, 
and  took  it. 

8 H Then  the  king  of  Syr-i-a 
warred  against  Is-ra-el,  and  took 
counsel  with  his  servants,  saying, 
In  such  and  such  a place  shall  be

9 And  the  man  of  God  sent  unto 
the  king  of  Is-ra-gl,  saying,  Beware 
that  thou  pass  not  such  a place; 
for  thither  the  Syr-i-ans  are  come 


down. 

10  And  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  sent  to 
the  place  which  the  man  of  God 
told  him  and  warned  him  of,  and 
saved  himself  there,  not  once  nor 
twice. 

1 1 Therefore  the  heart  of  the  king 
of  Syr-i-a  was  sore  troubled  for  this 
thing;  and  he  called  his  servants, 
and  said  unto  them.  Will  ye  not 
shew  me  which  of  us  is  for  the  king 
of  Is-ra-el  1 

12  And  one  of  his  servants  said, 
^None,  my  lord,  O king;  but  E-h- 
sha,  the  prophet  that  is  in  Is-ra-el, 
telleth  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  the 
words  that  thou  speakest  in  thy 
bedchamber. 

13  ^ And  he  said.  Go  and  spy 
where  he  is,  that  I may  send  and 
fetch  him.  And  it  was  told  him, 
saying.  Behold,  he  is  in  •'’Do-than. 

14  Therefore  sent  he  thither  horses, 
and  chariots,  and  a ® great  host : and 
they  came  by  night,  and  compassed 
the  city  about. 

15  And  when  the  ® servant  of  the 
man  of  God  was  risen  early,  and 
gone  forth,  behold,  an  host  com- 
passed the  city  both  with  horses 
and  chariots.  And  his  servant  said 
unto  him,  Alas,  my  master!  how 
shall  we  do'? 

1 6 And  he  answered.  Fear  not : 
for  ^they  that  he  with  us  are  more 
than  they  that  be  with  them. 

17  And  E-ll-sha  prayed,  and  said. 
Lord,  1 pray  thee,  open  his  eyes,  that 
he  may  see.  And  the  Lord  opened 
the  eyes  of  the  young  man  ; and  he 
saw : and,  behold,  the  mountain  was

18  And  when  they  came  down 
to  him,  E-li-sha  prayed  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said.  Smite  this  people, 
I pray  thee,  with  blindness.  And 
*he  smote  them  with  blindness  ac- 
cording to  the  word  of  E-li-sha. 

1 9 H And  E-li-sha  said  unto  thern., 
This  is  not  the  way,  neither  is  this 
the  city : ^ follow  me,  and  I will 
bring  you  to  the  man  whom  ye  seek. 
But  he  led  them  to  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they 
were  come  into  Sa-ma-ri-a,  that  E-li- 
sha  said.  Lord,  open  the  eyes  of 
these  men,  that  they  may  see.  And 
the  Lord  opened  their  eyes,  and 
they  saw  ; and,  behold,  they  were  in 
the  midst  of  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

21  And  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  said 
unto  E-li-sha,  when  he  saw  them. 
My  father,  shall  I smite  them .?  shall 
I smite  them .? 

22  And  he  answered.  Thou  shalt 
not  smite  them : wouldest  thou 
smite  those  whom  thou  hast  taken 
captive  with  thy  sword  and  with 
thy  bow'?  ‘*set  bread  and  water  be- 
fore them,  that  they  may  eat  and 
drink,  and  go  to  their  master. 

23  And  he  prepared  great  pro. 
vision  for  them : and  when  tliey 
had  eaten  and  drunk,  he  sent  them 
away,  and  they  went  to  their 
master.  So  ^the  bands  of  Syr-i-a 
came  no  more  into  the  land  of  Is- 
ra-el. 


24  And  it  came  to  pass  after  this, 
that  Bgn-ha-dad  king  of  Syr-i-a 
gathered  all  his  host,  and  went  up, 
and  besieged  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

25  And  there  was  a great  famine 
in  Sa-ma-ri-a  : and,  behold,  they  be- 
sieged it,  until  an  ass’s  head  was 
sold  for  fourscore  pieces  of  silver, 
and  the  fourth  part  of  a cab  of 
dove’s  dung  for  five  pieces  of  silver. 

26  And  as  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  was 
passing  by  upon  the  wall,  there 
cried  a woman  unto  him,  saying. 
Help,  my  lord,  O king. 

27  And  he  said,  "^If  the  Lord  do 
not  help  thee,  whence  shall  I help 
thee'?  out  of  the  barnfloor,  or  out 
of  the  winepress? 

28  And  the  king  said  unto  her. 
What  aileth  thee?  And  she  an- 
swered, This  woman  said  unto  me. 
Give  thy  son,  that  we  may  eat  him 
to  day,  and  we  will  eat  my  son  to 
morrow. 

29  So  '‘we  boiled  my  son,  and  did 
eat  him ; and  I said  unto  her  on 
the  ®next  day.  Give  thy  son,  that 
we  may  eat  him : and  she  hath  hid 
her  son.

30  51  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
king  heard  the  words  of  tne  woman, 
that  he  *rent  his  clothes ; and  he 
passed  by  upon  the  wall,  and  the 
people  looked,  and,  behold,  he  had 
sackcloth  within  upon  his  flesh. 

31  Then  he  said,  ‘^God  do  so  and 
more  also  to  me,  if  the  head  of 
E-li-sha  the  son  of  Sha-phat  shall 
stand  on  him  this  day. 

32  But  E-li-sha  sat  in  his  house, 
and  *the  elders  sat  with  him ; and 
the  king  sent  a man  from  before 
him : but  ere  the  messenger  came 
to  him,  he  said  to  the  elders,  ■'See 
ye  how  this  son  of  ^ a murderer  hath 
sent  to  take  away  mine  head  1 look, 
when  the  messenger  cometh,  shut 
the  door,  and  hold  him  fast  at  the 
door : is  not  the  sound  of  his  mas- 
ter’s feet  behind  him  1 

33  And  while  he  yet  talked  with 
them,  behold,  the  messenger  came 
down  unto  him : and  he  said.  Be- 
hold, this  evil  is  of  the  Lord  ; 
'"what  should  I wait  for  the  Lord 
any  longer"? 

CHAPTER  7. 

1 Elisha  jyrophesieth  incredible  plenty  in  Samaria.  16  The 
prophecy  is  fulfilled.  IV  The  unbelieving  lord  is  trodden 
to  death. 

Then  E-lI-sha  said.  Hear  ye  the 
word  of  the  Lord  ; Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  *To  morrow  about  this 
time  shall  a measure  of  fine  flour 
be  sold  for  a shek-6l,  and  two  meas- 
ures of  barley  for  a shek-el,  in  the 
gate  of  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

2  '^Then  ^a  lord  on  whose  hand  the 
king  leaned  answered  the  man  of 
God,  and  said,  Behold,  ^ if  the,  Lord 
would  make  windows  in  heaven, 
might  this  thing  be "?  And  he  said. 
Behold,  thou  shalt  see  it  with  thine 
eyes,  but  shalt  not  eat  thereof. 

3  ^ And  there  were  four  leprous 
men  "^at  the  entering  in  of  the  gate : 
and  they  said  one  to  another.  Why 
sit  we  here  until  we  die  ? 

4  If  we  say,  We  will  enter  into  the 
city,  then  the  famine  is  in  the  city, 
and  we  shall  die  there : and  if  we  sit 
still  here,  we  die  also.  Now  there- 
fore come,  and  let  us  fall  unto  the 
host  of  the  Syr-i-ans : if  they  save 
us  alive,  we  shall  live ; and  if  they 
kill  us,  we  shall  but  die. 

5  And  they  rose  up  in  the  twilight, 
to  go  unto  the  camp  of  the  Syr4-ans : 
and  when  they  wer  come  to  the  ut- 
termost part  of  the  camp  of  Syr-i-a, 
behold,  there  was  no  man  there. 

6  For  the  Lord  had  made  the  host 
of  the  Syr4-ans  ’*to  hear  a noise  of 
chariots,  and  a noise  of  horses,  even 
the  noise  of  a great  host : and  they 
said  one  to  another,  Lo,  the  king  of

Is-ra-6l  hath  hired  against  us  “the 
kings  of  the  Hit-tites,  and  the  kings 
of  the  E-gyp-tians,  to  come  upon  us. 

7 Wherefore  they  ®arose  and  fled 
in  the  twilight,  and  left  their  tents, 
and  their  horses,  and  their  asses, 
even  the  camp  as  it  was,  and  fled 
for  their  life. 

8 And  when  these  lepers  came  to 
the  uttermost  part  of  the  camp,  they 
went  into  one  tent,  and  did  eat  and 
drink,  and  carried  thence  silver,  and 
gold,  and  raiment,  and  went  and  hid 
it ; and  came  again,  and  entered  in- 
to another  tent,  and  carried  thence 
also,  and  went  and  hid  it. 

9 Then  they  said  one  to  another, 
¥/e  do  not  well : this  day  is  a day  of 
good  tidings,  and  we  hold  our  peace ; 
if  we  tarry  till  the  morning  light, 
^ some  mischief  will  come  upon  us  : 
now  therefore  come,  that  we  may 
go  and  tell  the  king’s  household. 

10  So  they  came  and  called  unto  the 
porter  of  the  city : and  they  told 
them,  saying.  We  came  to  the  camp 
of  the  Syr-i-ans,  and,  behold,  there 
was  no  man  there,  neither  voice  of 
man,  but  horses  tied,  and  asses  tied, 
and  the  tents  as  they  were. 

1 1 And  he  called  the  porters  ; and 
they  told  it  to  the  king’s  house 
within. 

12  U And  the  king  arose  in  the 
night,  and  said  unto  his  servants, 
I will  now  shew  you  what  the  Syr- 
i-ans  have  done  to  us.  They  know 
that  we  be  hungry ; therefore  are 
they  gone  out  of  the  camp  to  hide 
themselves  in  the  field,  saying. 
When  they  come  out  of  the  city, 
we  shall  catch  them  alive,  and  get 
into  the  city. 

13  And  one  of  his  servants  an- 
swered and  said.  Let  some  take,  I 
pray  thee,  five  of  the  horses  that 
remain,  which  are  left  ^in  the  citjr, 
(behold,  they  are  as  all  the  multh 
tude  of  Is-ra-el  that  are  left  in  it: 
behold,  I say,  they  are  even  as  all 
the  multitude  of  the  Ls-ra-el-ites 
that  are  consumed :)  and  let  us  send 
and  see. 

14  They  took  therefore  two  chariot 
horses  ; and  the  king  sent  after  the 
host  of  the  Syr-i-ans,  saying.  Go  and 
see. 

1 5 And  they  went  after  them  unto 
Jdr-dan:  and,  lo,  all  the  way  was 
full  of  garments  and  vessels^  which 
the  Syr4-ans  had  cast  away  in  their 
haste.  And  the  messengers  re- 
turned, and  told  the  king. 

1 6 And  the  people  went  out,  and 
spoiled  the  tents  of  the  Syrd-ans. 
So  a measure  of  fine  flour  was  sold 
for  a shek-el,  and  two  measures  of

barley  for  a shek-el,  “according  to 
the  word  of  the  Loed. 

17  ^ And  the  king  appointed  the 
lord  on  whose  hand  he  leaned  to 
have  the  charge  of  the  gate : and 
the  people  trode  upon  him  in  the 
gate,  and  he  died,  *as  the  man  of 
God  had  said,  who  si)ake  when  the 
king  came  down  to  him. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  as  the 
man  of  God  had  spoken  to  the 
king,  saying,  ®Two  measures  of  bar- 
ley for  a shek-el,  and  a measure  of 
fine  flour  for  a shek-el,  shall  be  to 
morrow  about  this  time  in  the  gate 
of  Sa-ma-ri-a : 

19  And  that  lord  answered  the 
man  of  God,  and  said.  Now,  behold, 
if  the  Loed  should  make  windows 
in  heaven,  might  such  a thing  be  % 
And  he  said.  Behold,  thou  shalt  see 
it  with  thine  eyes,  but  shalt  not  eat 
thereof. 

20  And  so  it  fell  out  unto  him: 
for  the  people  trode  upon  him  in 
the  gate,  and  he  died. 

CHAPTER  8. 

1 The  Shunammite  hath  her  land  restored  by  the  king.  I

wicked  reign.  28  He  visiteth  Jehoram. 

Then  spake  E-li-sha  unto  the 
woman,  * whose  son  he  had  re- 
stored to  life,  saying,  Arise,  and  go 
thou  and  thine  household,  and 
sojourn  wheresoever  thou  canst 
sojourn:  for  the  Loed  ’"hath  called 
for  a famine  ; and  it  shall  also  come 
upon  the  land  seven  years. 

2 And  the  woman  arose,  and  did 
after  the  saying  of  the  man  of  God : 
and  she  went  with  her  household, 
and  sojourned  in  the  land  of  the 
Phi-lis-tines  seven  years. 

3 And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  seven 
years’  end,  that  the  woman  returned 
out  of  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis-tines  : 
and  she  went  forth  to  cry  unto  the 
king  for  her  house  and  for  her  land. 
4 And  the  king  talked  with  -^Ge- 
ha-zi  the  servant  of  the  man  of 
God,  saying.  Tell  me,  I pray  thee, 
all  the  great  things  that  E-li-sha 
liath  done. 

5 And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was 
telling  the  king  how  he  had  ^re- 
stored a dead  body  to  life,  that,  be- 
hold, the  woman,  whose  son  he  had 
restored  to  life,  cried  to  the  king  for 
her  house  and  for  her  land.  And 
Gg-ha-zl  said.  My  lord,  O king,  this 
is  the  woman,  and  this  is  her  son, 
whom  E-li-sha  restored  to  life.

7 H And  E-li-sha  came  to  Da-mas-

Syr-i-a  was  sick ; and  it  was  told 
him,  saying.  The  man  of  God  is 
come  hither. 

8 And  the  king  said  unto  ‘'Haz-a-el, 

Take  a present  in  thine  hand,  and 

go,  meet  the  man  of  God,  and  {en-

9 So  Haz-a-el  went  to  meet  him, 
and  took  a present  ^with  him,  even 
of  every  good  thing  of  Da-mas-ctis,

stood  before  him,  and  said.  Thy  son

sent  me  to_  thee,  saying,  Shall  I re- 
cover of  this  disease  1 

10  And  E-li-sha  said  unto  him. 
Go,  say  unto  him.  Thou  mayest  cer- 
tainly recover:  howbeit  the  Loed 
hath  shewed  me  that  ^he  shall 
surely  die. 

1 1 And  he  settled  his  countenance

and  the  man  of  God  ^wept. 

12  And  Haz-a-el  said.  Why  weep 
eth  my  lordi  And  he  answered. 
Because  I know  *the  evil  that  thou 
wilt  do  unto  the  children  of  Is-ra- 
el : their  strong  holds  wilt  thou  set 
on  fire,  and  their  young  men  wilt 
thou  slay  with  the  sword,  and  ^wilt 
dash  their  children,  and  rip  up  their 
women  with  child. 

13  And  Haz-a-el  said.  But  what,’"^s 
thy  servant  a dog,  tnat  he  should

answered,  ‘'The  Loed  hath  shewed 
me  that  thou  shalt  be  king  over 
Syr4-a. 

14  So  he  departed  from  E-h-sha, 
and  came  to  his^  master ; who  said 
to  him,  What  said  E-li-sha  to  thee '? 
And  he  answered.  He  told  me  that 
thou  shouldest  surely  recover. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  he  took  a thick  cloth, 
and  dii^ped  it  in  water,  and  spread 
it  on  his  face,  so  that  he  died : and 
Haz-a-el  reigned  in  his  stead. 

16  H And  in  the  fifth  year  of  Jo- 
ram  the  son  of  A-hab  king  of  Is-ra-gl, 
Je-hosh-a-phat  being  then  king  of 
Ju-dah,  ’■Je-ho-ram  the  son  of  Je- 
h5sh{a-phat  king  of  Ju-dah  ^ began 
to  reign. 

17  * Thirty  and  two  years  old  was 
he  when  he  began  to  reign  ; and  he 
reigned  eight  years  in  JAru-sa-l6m. 

18  And  he  walked  in  the  way  of 
the  kings_  of  Is-ra-el,  as  did  the

of  A-hab  was  his  wife  : and  he  did 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

19  Yet  the  Lord  would  not  de- 
stroy Ju-dah  for  Da-vid  his  serv- 
ant’s sake,  *as  he  promised  him  to 
give  him  alway  a ^ light,  and  to  his

20  II  In  his  days  L-d5m  revolted 
from  under  the  hand  of  Ju-dah,  ‘^and 
made  a king  over  themselves. 

21  So  Jo  Yam  went  over  to  Za-ir, 
and  all  the  chariots  with  him : and 
he  rose  by  night,  and  smote  the 
E-dOm-ites  which  compassed  him 
about,  and  the  captains  of  the 
chariots : and  the  people  fled  into 
their  tents. 

22  ^ Yet  E-dom  revolted  from  under

ram,  and  all  that  he  did,  are  they 
not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju-dah  1 

24  And  Jo  Yam  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried_  with  his 
fathers  in  the  city  of  DaYid : and 
'"A-ha-ziYh^  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead. 

25  Uln  the  twelfth  year  of  Jo  Yam 
the  son  of  AYab  king  of  IsYa-el 
did  A-ha-zi-ah  the  son  of  Je-hoYam

2 And  when  thou  comest  thither, 
look  out  there  Je-hu  the  son  of  Je- 
h6sh-a-phat  the  son  of  NimYhi,  and 
go  in,  and  make  him  arise  up  from 
among  his  brethren,  and  carry  him 
to  an ‘“^inner  chamber; 

3 Then  "take  the  box  of  oil,  and 
pour  it  on  his  head,  and  say.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  I have  anointed 
thee  king  over  IsYa-6l.  Then  open 
the  door,  and  flee,  and  tarry  not. 

4 H So  the  young  man,  even  the 
young  man  the  prophet,  went  to 
Ra-m5th-gil-e-ad. 

5 And  when  he  came,  behold,  the 
captains  of  the  host  were  sitting; 
and  he  said,  I have  an  errand  to 
thee,  O captain.  And  Je-hu  said. 
Unto  which  of  all  usi  And  he  said, 
To  thee,  O captain. 

6 x\nd  he  arose,  and  went  into  the 
hpuse;  and  he  poured  the  oil  on 
his  head,  and  said  unto  him,  ^Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  IsYa-el,  I 
have  anointed  thee  king  over  the 
people  of  the  Lord,  even  over  Is- 
ra-el. 

7 And  thou  shalt  smite  the  house 
of  A-hab  thy  master,  that  I may 
avenge  the  blood  of  my  servants 
the  prophets,  and  the  blood  of  ah 
the  servants  of  the  Lord,  *at  the 
hand  of  JezY-bel. 

8 For  the  whole  house  of  A-hab 
shall  perish : and  ^ I will  cut  off 
from  A-hab  ’"him  that  pisseth  a- 
gainst  the  wall,  and  "him  that  is 
shut  up  and  left  in  IsYa-el : 

_9  And  I will  make  the  house  of 
A-hab  like  the  house  of  ^’Jer-S- 
bo-am  the  son  of  NeYat,  and  like 
the  house  of  ^^Ba-a-sha  the  son  of 
A-hi-jah : 

^ 10  ®And  the  dogs  shall  eat  JezY-bel 
in  the  portion  of  JezYe-el,  and  there 
shall  be  none  to  burv  her.  And  he 
opened  the  door,  and  fled. 

11  H Then  JeJiu  came  forth  to 
the  servants  of  his  lord:  and  one 
said  unto  him.  Is  all  welll  where- 
fore came  "this  mad  fellow  to  thee  % 
And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  know 
the  man,  and  his  comrnunication. 

1 2 And  they  said.  It  is  false ; tell 
us  now.  And  he  said.  Thus  and 
thus  spake  he  to  me,  saying.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  I have  anointed 
thee  king  over  IsYa-el. 

13  Then  they  hasted,  and  ^^took 
every  man  his  garment,  and  put  it 
under  him  on  the  top  of  the  stairs, 
and  blew  with  trumpets,  saying, 
Je-hu  ^ is  king. 

14  So  Je-hu  the  son  of  Je-h5sh-a-

against  Jo-ram.  (Now  Jo-rto  had 
kept  Ka-m5th-gil-6-ad,  he  and  all 
Is-ra-el,  because  of  Haz-a-6l  king  of 
Syr-i-a. 

15  But  “king  ^Jo-ram  was  re- 

turned to  be  healed  in  J6z-re-el  of 
the  wounds  which  the  Sjh’-i-ans 
2 had  given  him,  when  he  fought 
with  Haz-a-el  king  of  Syr4-a.)  And 
Je-hu  said.  If  it  be  your  minds, 
then  ^let  none  go  forth  nor  escape 
out  of  the  city  to  go  to  tell  it  in 
Jez-re-6l.  . 

16  So  Je-hu  rode  in  a chariot,  and 
went  to  Jez-r6-el;  for  Jo-ram  lay 
there.  “^And  A-ha-zi-ah  king  of  Ju- 
dah was  come  down  to  see  Jo-ram. 

17  And  there  stood  a watchman 
on  the  tower  in  Jez-r6-el,  and  he 
spied  the  company  of  Je-hu  as  he 
came,  and  said,  I see  a company. 
And  Jo-ram  said.  Take  an  horse- 
man, and  send  to  meet  them,  and 
let  him  say.  Is  it  peace'? 

18  So  there  went  one  on  horse- 
back to  meet  him,  and  said.  Thus 
saith  the  king,  Is  it  peace  ^ And 
Je-hu  said.  What  hast  thou  to  do 
with  peace  1 turn  thee  behind  me. 
And  the  watchman  told,  saying. 
The  messenger  came  to  them,  but 
he  cometh  not  again. 

19  Then  he  sent  out  a second  on 
horseback,  which  came  to  them, 
and  said,  Thus  saith  the  king.  Is  it 
peace '?  And  J e-hu  answered.  What 
hast  thou  to  do  with  peace  1 turn 
thee  behind  me. 

20  And  the  watchman  told,  say- 
ing, He  came  even  unto  them,  and 
cometh  not  again:  and  the  '^driv- 
ing is  like  the  driving  of  Je-hu  the 
son  of  Nim-shi ; for  he  drive th 
‘'furiously. 

21  And  Jo-ram  said,  ^ Make  ready. 
And  his_  chariot  was  made  ready. 
And  ^Jo-ram  king  of  ls-ra-6l  and 
A-ha-zi-ah  king  of  Ju-dahwent  out, 
each  in  his  chariot,  and  they  went 
out  against  Je-hu,  and  ^met  him 
in  the  portion  of  Na-b6th  the  J6z- 
rAel-ite. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jo- 
ram  saw  Je-hu,  that  he  said.  Is  it 
peace,  Je-hu'?  And  he  answered. 
What  peace,  so  long  as  the  whore- 
doms of  thy  mother  J6z-6-b6l  and 
her  witchcrafts  are  so  many^ 

23  And  Jo-ram  turned  his  hands, 
and  fled,  and  said  to  A-ha-zi-ah, 
There  is  treachery,  O A-ha-zi-ah. 

24  And  Je-hu  '‘drew  a bow  with 
his  full  strength,  and  smote  Je- 
ho-ram  between  his  arms,  and  the 
arrow  went  out  at  his  heart,  and 
he  ®sunk  down  in  his  chariot.

that,  when  land  thou  rode  together 
after  A-hab  his  father,  Hhe  LoBD 
laid  this  burden  upon  him; 

26  Surely  I have  seen  yesterday

and  ‘'I  will  requite  thee  in  this

27  ^ But  when  A-ha-zi-ah  the  king 
of  Ju-dah  saw  this,  he  fled  by  the 
way  of  the  garden  house.  And 
Je-hu  followed  after  him,  and  said. 
Smite  him  also  in  the  chariot.  And 
they  did  so  at  the  going  up  to  Gur, 
which  is  by  Ibde-am.  And  he  fled 
to  ^MAgid-do,  and  died  there. 

28  And  his  servants  carried  him 
in  a chariot  to  JAru-sa-l6m,  and 
buried  him  in  his  sepulchre  with 
his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da-vid. 

29  And  in  the  eleventh  year  o£ 
Jo-ram  the  son  of  A-hab  began  A-

to  Jez-rAel,  Jez-e-bel  heard  of  it: 
•'’and  she  ® painted  her  face,  and 
tired  her  head,  and  looked  out  at

31  And  as  Je-hu  entered  in  at  the 
gate,  she  said,  ^ Had  Zim-ri  peace, 
who  slew  his  master '?  ^ 

32  And  he  lifted  up  his  face  to  the 
window,  and  said.  Who  is  on  my 
side'?  who?  And  there  looked  out 
to  him  two  or  three  ^eunuchs. 

33  And  he  said.  Throw  her  down. 
So  they  threw  her  down : and  soTne 
of  her  blood  was  sprinkled  on  the 
wall,  and  on  the  horses:  and  he 
trode  her  under  foot. 

34  And  when  he  was  come  m, 
he  did  eat  and  drink,  and  said, 
Go,  see  now  this  cursed  woman., 
and  bury  her:  for  *she  is  a king’s 
daughter. 

35  And  they  went  to  bury  her: 
but  they  found  no  more  of  her 
than  the  skull,  and  the  feet,  and 
the  palms  of  her  hands. 

36  Wherefore  they  came  again, 
and  told  him.  And  he  said,  This 
is  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he 
^ake  ^by  his  servant  E-h-jah  the

AND  A-hab  had  seventy  sons  in 
Sa-mab*i-a.  And  Je-hu  wrote 
letters,  and  sent  to  Sa-ma-ri-a,  unto 
the  rulers  of  Jez-re-el,  to  the  eldere, 
and  to  ^them  that  brought  up  A- 
hab’s  children,  saying, 

2 Now  as  soon  as  this  letter  cometh 
to  you,  seeing  your  master’s  sons 
are  with  _ you,  and  there  are  with 
you  chariots  and  horses,  a fenced 
city  also,  and  armour ; 

3 Look  even  out  the  best  and 
meetest  of  your  master’s  sons,  and 
set  him  on  his  father’s  throne,  and 
fight  for  your  master’s  house. 

4 But  they^  were  exceedingly  a- 
fraid,  and  said,  Behold,  tv/o  kings 
stood,  not  before  him : how  then 
shall  we  stand? 

5 And  he  that  was  over  the  house, 
and  he  That  ivas  over  the  city,  the 
elders  ' also,  and  the  bringers  up  of 
the  jmildren,  sent  to  Je-hu,  saying, 

are  thy  servants,  and  will  do 
all  that  thou  shalt  bid  us ; we  will 
not  make  any  king:  do  thou  that 
which  is  good  in  thine  eyes, 

6 Then  he  wrote -a  letter  the  sec- 
ond time  to  them,  saying.  If  ye  he 
®mine,  and  if  ye  will  hearken  unto 
my  voice,  take  ye  the  heads  of 
the  men  your  master’s  sons,  and 
come  to  me  to  Jez-rC-el  by  to  mor- 
row this  time.  Now  the  king’s 
sons,  being  seventy  persons,  were 
with  the  great  men  of  the  city, 
which  brought  them  up. 

7 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
letter  came  to  them,  that  they  took 
the  king’s  sons,  and  *slew  seventy 
persons,  and  put  their  heads  in 
baskets,  and  sent  him  them  to  Jez-

8 H And  there  came  a messenger, 
and  told  him,  saying.  They  have 
brought  the  heads  of  the  king’s 
sons.  And  he  said.  Lay  ye  them 
in  two  heaps  at  the  entering  in  of 
the  gate  until  the  morning. 

9 And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  that  he  went  out,  and 
stood,  and  said  to  all  the  people. 
Ye  be  righteous:  behold,  H con- 
spired against  my  master,  and  slew 
him : but  who  slew  all  these  ?

11  So  Je-hu  slew  all  that  remained 
of  the  house  of  A-hab  in  Jez-re-6l, 
and  all  his  great  men,  and  his 
^kinsfolks,  and  his  priests,  until  he 
left  him  none  remaining. 

12  U And  he  arose  and  departed, 
and  came  to  Sa-ma-ri-a.  And  as  he 
wasaA  the  ^shearing  house  in  the  way, 

13  “Je-hu  ®met  with  the  brethren 
of  A-ha-zi-ah  king  of  Ju-dah,  and 
said.  Who  are  ye?  And  they  an- 
swered, We  are  the  brethren  of 
A-ha-zi-ah ; and  we  go  down  ® to 
salute  the  children  of  the  king  and 
the  children  of  the  queen. 

14  And  he  said.  Take  them  alive. 
And  they  took  them  alive,  and  slew 
them  at  the  pit  of  the  shearing 
house,  even  two  and  forty  men; 
neither  left  he  any  of  them. 

15  IT  And  when  he  was  departed 
thence,  he  ® lighted  on  * Je-h5n-a-dab 
the  son  of  ‘'Be-chab  coming  to  meet 
him:  and  he  J saluted  him,  and  said 
to  him.  Is  thine  heart  right,  as  my 
heart  is  with  thy  heart?  And  JA 
h5n-a-dab  answered.  It  is.  If  it  be, 
‘^give  me  thine  hand.  And  he  gave 
him  his  hand ; and  he  took  him  up 
to  him  into  the  chariot. 

16  And  he  said.  Come  with  me, 
and  see  my  “"zeal  for  the  Lord.  So 
they  made  him  ride  in  his  chariot. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  Sa-ma- 
ri-a,  •'^he  slew  all  that  remained  unto 
A-hab  in  Sa-ma-ri-a,  till  he  had  de- 
stroyed hinu  according  to  the  say- 
ing of  the  Lord,  ^ which  he  spake 
to  E-li-jah. 

18  IT  And  Je-hu  gathered  all  the 
people  together,  and  said  unto  them, 
'"A-hab  served  Ba-al  a little;  but 
Je-hu  shall  serve  him  much. 

19  Now  therefore  call  unto  me  all 
the  * prophets  of  Ba-al,  all  his  serv- 
ants, and  all  his  priests;  let  none 
be  wanting:  for  I have  a great 
sacrifice  to  do^  to  Ba-al ; whosoever 
shall  be  wanting,  he  shall  not  live. 
But  Je-hu  did  it  in  subtilty,  to  the 
intent  that  he  might  destroy  the 
worshippers  of_  Ba-al. 

20  And  Je-hu  said,  ® Proclaim  a 
solemn  assembly  for  Ba-al.  And 
they  proclaimed  it. 

21  And  Je-hu  sent  through  all  Is- 
ra-6l : and  all  the  worshippers  of 
Ba-al  came,  so  that  there  was  not  a 
man  left  that  came  not.  And  they 
came  into  the  ""house  of  Ba-al ; and 
the  house  of  Ba-al  was  Hull  from 
one  end  to  another. 

22  And  he  said  unto  him  that  was 
over  the  vestry.  Bring  forth  vest- 
ments for  all  the  worshippers  of 
Ba-al.  And  he  brought  them  forth 
vestments. 


BaaV s worshippers  slain.  II.  KINGS,  11.  Athaliah^ s massacre. 


23  And  Je-hu  went,  and  JAh5n- 
a-dab  the  son  of  Ke-ehab,  into  the 
house  of  Ba-al.  and  said  unto  the 
worshippers  of  Ba-al,  Search,  and 
look  that  there  be  here  with  you 
none  of  the  servants  of  the  Loed, 
but  the  worshippers  of  Ba-al  only. 

24  And  when  they  went  in  to  offer 
sacrifices  and  burnt  offerings,  J ediu 
appointed  fourscore  men  without, 
and  said.  If  any  of  the  men  whom 
I have  brought  into  your  hands  es- 
cape, he  that  letteth  him  go,  “his  life 
sfmll  be  for  the  life  of  him. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  he  had  made  an  end  of  offering 
the  burnt  offering,  that  J e-hu  said  to 
the  guard  and  to  the  captains.  Go 
in,  and  slay  them ; let  none  come 
forth.  And  they  smote  them  with 
® the  edge  of  the  sword ; and  the 
guard  and  the  captains  cast  them 
out,  and  went  to  the  city  of  the 
house  of  Ba-al. 

26  And  they  brought  forth  the 
‘^images®  out  of  the  house  of  Ba-al, 
and  burned  them. 

27  And  they  brake  down  the  image 
of  Ba-al,  and  brake  down  the  house 
of  Ba-al,  •''and^  made  it  a draught 
house  unto  this  day. 

28  Thus  Je-hu  destroyed  Ba-al  out 
of  Is-ra-el. 

29  H Howbeit  from  the  sins  of 
J6r-h-bo-am  the  son  of  Ne-bat,  who 
made  Is-ra-el  to  sin,  Je-hu  departed 
not  from  after  them,  to  wit,  ^the 
golden  calves  that  were  in  Beth'-el, 
and  that  were  in  Dan. 

30  And  the  Loed  said  unto  Je-hu, 
Because  thou  hast  done  well  in  ex- 
ecuting that  which  is  right  in  mine 
eyes,  and  hast  done  unto  the  house 
or  A-hab  according  to  all  that  was 
in  mine  heart,  * thy  children  of  the 
fourth  generation  shall  sit  on  the 
throne  of  Is-ra-6l. 

I  31  But  Je-hu  ®took  no  heed  to 
I walk  in  the  law  of  the  Loed  God 
1 of  I§-ra-el  with  all  his  heart : for  he 
j departed  not  from  *the  sins  of  Jer- 
I fi-bo-am,  which  made  I§-ra-gl  to  sin. 
I 32  U In  those  days  the  Loed  began 
j ^to  cut  I§-ra-el  short : and  ^Haz-a-el 
smote  them  in  all  the  coasts  of  Is- 
ra-el  ; 

33  From  J 6r-dan  ^eastward,  all  the 
land  of  Gil-e-ad,  the  Gad-ites,  and

CHAPTER  11. 

1 Jehoash,  being  saved  from  A thaliah's  massacre  of  the  seed 

royal,  is  hid  six  years  in  the  house  of  God.  4 Jehoiada 

in  the  seventh  year  anointeth  him  king.  13  Athaliah  is 

slain.  17  Jehoiada  restoreth  the  worship  of  God. 

AND  when  ^Ath-a-li-ah  ‘'the  mo- 
iA-  ther  of  A-ha-zi-ah  saw  that  her 
son  was  dead,  she  arose  and  de- 
stroyed all  the  ^seed  royal. 

2 But  ® J_e-hosh-e-ba,  the  daughter 
of  king  Jo-ram,  sister  of  A-ha-zi-ah, 
took  ^Jo-ash  the  son  of  A-ha-zi-ah, 
and  stole  him  from  among  the  king’s 
sons  %phich  were^  slain ; and  they 
hid  him,  even  him  and  his  nurse, 
in  the  bedchamber  from  Ath-a-li-ah, 
so  that  he  was  not  slain. 

3 And  he  was  with  her  hid  in  the 
house  of  the  Loed  six  years.  And 
Ath-a-li-ah  did  reign  over  the  land. 

4 IT  And  Hhe  seventh  year  Je-hoi- 
a-da  sent  and  fetched  the  rulers 
over  hundreds,  with  the  captains 
and  the  guard,  and  brought  them 
to  him  into  the  house  of  the  Loed, 
and  made  a covenant  with  them, 
and  took  an  oath  of  them  in  the 
house  of  the  Loed,  and  shewed 
them  the  king’s  son. 

5 And  he  commanded  them,  say- 
ing, This  A the  thing  that  ye  shall 
do ; A third  part  of  you  that  enter 
in  '^on  the  sabbath  shall  even  be 
keepers  of  the  watch  of  the  king’s 
house ; 

6 And  a third  part  shall  he  at  the 
gate  of  Sur  ; and  a third  part  at 
the  gate  behind  the  guard : so  shall 
ye  keep  the  watch  of  the  house, 
■^that  it  be  not  broken  down. 

7 And  two  parts  of  all  you  that 
go  forth  on  the  sabbath,  even  they 
shall  keep  the  watch  of  the  house 
of  the  Loed  about  the  king. 

8 And  ye  shall  compass  the  king 
round  about,  every  man  with  his 
weapons  in  his  hand ; and  he  that 
cometh  within  the  ranges,  let  him 
be  slain : and  be  ye  with  the  king 
as  he  goeth  out  and  as  he  cometh  in. 

9 ""And  the  captains  over  the  hun- 
dreds did  according  to  all  things 
that  Je-hoi-a-da  the  priest  com- 
manded : and  they  took  everj^  man 
his  men  that  were  to  come  in  on 
the  sabbath,  with  them  that  should 
go  out  on  the  sabbath,  and  came  to 
J 6-hoi-a-da  the  priest. 

10  And  to  the  captains  over  hun- 
dreds did  the  priest  give  king  Da-

vid’s  spears  and  shields,  that  were 
in  the  temple  of  the  Loed. 

11  And  the  guard  stood,  every 
man  with  his  weapons  in  his  hand, 
round  about  the  king,  from  the 
right  ^corner  of  the  temple  to  the 
left  corner  of  the  temple,  along  by 
the  altar  and  the  temple. 

12  And  he  brought  forth  the  king’s 
son,  and  put  the  crown  upon  him, 
and  gave  him  the  testimony;  and 
they  made  him  king,  and  anointed 
him  ; and  they  clapped  their  hands, 
and  said,  ^God*^  save  the  king. 

13  ^ ‘'And  when  Ath-a-li-ah  heard 
the  noise  of  the  guard  and  of  the 
people,  she  came  to  the  people  into 
the  temple  of  the  Loed. 

14  And  when  she  looked,  behold, 
the  king  stood  by  ®a  pillar,  as  the 
manner  tvas,  and  the  princes  and 
the  trumpeters  by  the  king,  and  all 
the  people  of  the  land  rejoiced,  and 
blew  with  trumpets : and  Ath-a- 
ll-ah  rent  her  clothes,  and  cried, 
Treason,  Treason. 

15  But  Je-hoi-a-da  the  jpriest  com- 
manded the  captains  ot  the  hun- 
dreds, the  officers  of  the  host,  and 
said  unto  them,  Have  her  forth 
without  the  ranges : and  him  that 
followeth  her  kill  with  the  sword. 
For  the  priest  had  said.  Let  her 
not  be  slain  in  the  house  of  the 
Loed. 

16  And  they  laid  hands  on  her; 
and  she  went  by  the  way  by  the 
which  the  horses  came  into  the 
king’s  house:  and  there  was  she 
slain.

CHAPTER  12. 

1 Jehoash  reigneth  well  all  the  days  of  Jehoiada.  4 He 
giveth  order  for  the  repair  of  the  temple.  17  Hazael  is 
diverted  from  Jerusalem  by  a present  of  the  haUowed 
treasures.  19  Jehoash  being  slain  by  his  servants,  Ama- 
ziah  succeedeth  him. 

IN  the  seventh  year  of  Jeffiu  “ JA 
ho-ash  began  to  reign;  and  forty 
years  reigned  he  in  Je-ru-sa-lem. 
And  his  mother’s  name  was  Zib- 
i-ah  of  Be-er-she-ba. 

2  And  JAho-ash  did  that  which 
was  right  in  the  sight  of  the  Loed 
all  his  days  wherein  JAhoi-a-da  the 
priest  instructed  him. 

3  But  ‘*the  high  places  were  not 
taken  away : the  people  still  sacri- 
ficed and  burnt  incense  in  the  high 
places. 

4  H And  JAho-ash  said  to  the 
priests,  -^All  the  money  of  the 
dedicated  things  that  is  brought 
into  the  house  of  the  Loed,  even 
^ the  money  of  every  one  that 
passeth  the  account,  ^ the  money 
that  every  man  is  set  at,  and  all 
the  money  that  '‘corueth^  into  any 
man’s  heart  to  bring  into  the 
house  of  the  Loed, 

5  Let  the  priests  take  it  !to  them, 
every  man  of  his  acquaintance : and 
let  them  repair  the  breaches  of 
the  house,  wheresoever  any  breach 
shall  be  found. 

6  But  it  was  so,  that  in  the  three 
and  twentieth  year  of  king  JAho- 
ash  *the  priests  had  not  repaired 
the  breaches  of  the  house. 

7  ^Then  king  JAho-ash  called  for 
JAhoi-a-da  the  priest,  and  the  other 
priests,  and  said  unto  them,  Why 
repair  ye  not  the  breaches  oi  the 
housed  now  therefore  receive  no 
more  money  of  your  acquaintance, 
but  deliver  it  for  the  breaches  of 
the  house. 

8  And  the  priests  consented  to  re- 
ceive no  more  money  of  the  people, 
neither  to  repair  the  breaches  of 
the  house. 

9  But  Je-hoi-a-da  the  priest  took 
«a  chest,  and  bored  a Hole  in  the 
lid  of  it,  and  set  it  beside  the  altar, 
on  the  right  side  as  one  cometh 
into  the  house  of  the  Loed  : and 
the  priests  that  kept  the  ^door 
put  therein  all  the  money  that  was 
brought  into  the  house  of  the  Loed. 

10  And  it  was  so,  when  they  saw 
that  there  was  much  money  in  the 
chest,  that  the  king’s  ^scribe  and 
the  high  priest  came  up,  and  they 
^put  up  in  bags,  and  told  the 
money  that  was  found  in  the  house 
of  the  Loed. 

1 1  And  they  gave  the  money,  being 
told,  into  the  hands  of  them  that 
did  the  work,  that  had  the  over-

they  Uaid  it  out  to  the  carpenters 
and  builders,  that  wrought  upon 
the  house  of  the  Lord, 

12  And  to  masons,  and  hewers  ot 

stone,  and  to  buy  timber  and  hewed 
stone  to  repair  the  breaches  ot  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  for  all  that 
^was  laid  out  for  the  house  to  re- 
pair it.  , , 

13  Howbeit  « there  were  not  made 
for  the  house  of  the  Lord  bowls 
of  silver,  snuffers,  basons,  trum- 
pets, any  vessels  of  gold,  or  vessels 
of  silver,  of  the  money  that  was 
brought  into  the  house  of  the  Lord  : 

14  But  they  gave  that  to  the  work- 
men, and  repaired  therewith  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

15  Moreover  •''they  reckoned  not 
with  the  men,  into  whose  hand 
they  delivered  the  money  to  be 
bestowed  on  workmen : for  they 
dealt  faithfully. 

16  '^The  trespass  money  and  sin 

money  was  not  brought  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord:  Mt  was  the 
priests’.  „ ^ , 

17  H Then  *Haz-a-el  king  of  Syr- 
i-a  went  up,  and  fought  against 
Gath,  and  took  it:  and  "'Haz-a-el 
set  his  face  to  go  up  to  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

18  And  JAho-ash  king  of  Ju-dah 
«took  all  the  hallowed  things  that 
Je-hOsh-a-phat,  and  JAho-ram,  and 
A-ha-zi-ah,  his  fathers,  kings  of  Ju- 
dah, had  dedicated,  and  his  own 
hallowed  things,  and  all  the  gold 
that  was  found  in  the  treasures  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the 
king’s  house,  and  sent  it  to  Haz- 
a-el  king  of  Syr-i-a : and  he  ’went 
away  from  JAru-sAlem.

of  Jo-ash,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju-dah*? 

20  And  ^his  servants  aros^_and

king  of  Ju-dah  Je-ho-a-haz  the  son 

of  Je-hu  began  to  reign  over  ls-ra-6l 
in  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and  reigned  seven- 
teen years.  ^ 

2 And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  LoRD,_and 
^followed  the  sins  of  Jer-5-bo-ani 
the  son  of  Ne-bat,  which  made  Is- 
ra-el  to  sin ; he  departed  not  there- 
from. 

3 H And  ^the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  Is-rAel,  and  he 
delivered  them  into  the  hand  of 
‘’Haz-a-el  king  of  Syr4-a,  and  into 
the  hand  of  Ben-ha-dad  the  son  of 
Haz-a-6l,  all  their  days. 

4 And  J6-ho-a-haz  besought  the 
Lord,  and  the  Lord  hearkened  un- 
to him : for  ®he  saw  the  oppression 
of  Is-ra-el,  because  the  king  of  Syr- 
i-a  oppressed  them. 

5 CAnd  the  Lord  gave  Is-ra-el  a 
saviour,  so  that  they  went  out  from 
under  the  hand  of  the  Syr-i-ans: 
and  the  children  of  IshA-el  dwelt 
in  their  tents,  ^as  beforetime. 

6 Nevertheless  they  departed  not 
from  the  sins  of  the  house  of 
Jer-5-bo-am,  who  made  Is-ra-el  sin, 
hut  ® walked  therein:  ^ and  there 
® remained  the  grove  also  in  Sa- 
ma-ri-a.) 

7 Neither  did  he  leave  of  the  peo- 
ple to  Je-ho-a-haz  but  fifty  horse- 
men, and  ten  chariots,  and  ten 
thousand  footmen;  for  the  king  of 
Syr-i-a  had  destroyed  them,  "and 
had  made  them  like  the  dust  by 
threshing. 

8 H Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Je-ho-a-haz,  and  all  that  he  did,  and 
his  might,  are  they  not  written  in 
the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Is-ra-el*? 

9 And  Je-ho-a-haz  slept  with  his 
fathers;  and  they  buried  him  in 
Sa-ma-ri-a:  and  ® Jo-ash  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead.* 

10  H In  the  thirty  and  seventh 
year  of  Jo-ash  king  of  Ju-dah  be- 

gan  ’^Je-ho-ash  the  son  of  Je-ho-a^ 
az  to  reign  over  Is-ra-el  in  Sa-ma- 
ri-a,  and  reigned^  sixteen  years. 

11  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  ; he 
departed  not  from  all  the  sins  of 
Jer-6-bo-am  the  son  of  Ne-bat,  who 
made  Is-ra-6l  sin : but  he  walked 
therein. 

12  *And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo- 
ash, and  'all  that  he  did,  and  “his 
might  wherewith  he  fought  against 
Am-a-zi-ah  king  of  Ju-dah,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is-ra-6l  *? 

13  Ajid  Jo-ash  slept  with  his  fa-

B.C.  839, 


Sa-ma-ri-a  with  the  kings  of  Is-ra-6l. 

14  ^ Now  E-li-sha  was  fallen  sick  of 
his  sickness  whereof  he  died.  And 
Jo-ash  the  king  of  Is-rA-el  came 
down  unto  him,  and  wept  over  his 
face,  and  said,  O my  father,  my 
father,  “the  chariot  of  Is-ra-el,  and 
the  horsemen  thereof. 

15  And  E-li-sha  said  unto  him. 
Take  bow  and  arrows.  And  he 
took  unto  him  bow  and  arrows. 

16  And  he  said  to  the  king  of 
Is-ra-el,  ^Put  thine  hand  upon  the 
bow.  And  he  put  his  hand  upon 
it:  and  E-li-sha  put  his  hands  upon 
the  king’s  hands. 

17  And  he  said.  Open  the  window 
eastward.  And  he  opened  it.  Then 
E-li-sha  said,  Shoot.  And  he  shot. 
And  he  said.  The  arro  v of  the  Lord’s 
deliverance,  and  the  arrow  of  de- 
liverance from  Syr4-a:  for  thou 
shalt  smite  the  Syr-i-ans  in  ®A-phek, 
till  thou  have  consumed  them. 

18  And  he  said.  Take  the  arrows. 
And  he  took  them.  And  he  said 
unto  the  king  of  Is-ra-6l,  Smite  upon 
the  ground.  And  he  smote  thrice, 
and  stayed. 

19  And  the  man  of  God  was  wroth 
with  him,  and  said.  Thou  shouldest 
have  smitten  five  or  six  times  ; then 
hadst  thou  smitten  Syr-i-a  till  thou 
hadst  consumed  it:  '‘whereas  now 
thou  shalt  smite  Syr-i-a  but  thrice. 

20  U And  E-li-sha  died,  and  they 
buried  him.  And  the  bands  of  the 
Mo-ab-ites  invaded  the  land  at  the 
coming  in  of  the  year. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
were  burying  a man,  that,  behold, 
they  spied  a band  of  men ; and  they 
cast  tne  man  into  the  sepulchre  of 
E-li-sha : and  when  the  man  ^was 
let  down,  and  touched  the  bones  of 
E-li-sha,  he  revived,  and  stood  up 
on  his  feet.

wicked  reign.  28  Zachariah  succeedeth  him. 

IN  '’the  second  year  of  Jo-ash  son 
of  Je-ho-a-haz  king  of  Is-ra-6l 
reigned  ®Am-_a-zi-ah  the  son  of  Jo- 
ash  king  of  Ju-dah. 

2 He  was  twenty  and  five  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and  reigned 
twenty  and  nine  years  in  Je-ru-sd- 
l6m.  And  his  mother’s  name  was 
Je-h6-ad-dan  of  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

3 And  he  did  that  which  was  right 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  yet  not  like 
Da-vid  his  father : he  did  according 
to  all  things  as  Jo-ash  his  father  did. 
4 ‘'Howbeit  the  high  places  were 
not  taken  away : as  yet  the  people 
did  sacrifice  and  burnt  incense  on 
the  high  places. 

5 IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  the  kingdom  was  confirmed  in 
his  hand,  that  he  slew  his  servants 
^ which  had  slain  the  king  his  father. 
6 But  the  children  of  the  murder- 
ers he  slew^  not : accOTding  unto 
that  which  is  written  in  the  book 
of  the  law  of  Mo-ses,  wherein  the 
Lord  commanded,  saying,  ^'The  fa- 
thers shall  not  be  put  to  death  for 
the  children,  nor  the  children  be 
put  to  death  for  the  fathers;  but 
every  man  shall  be  put  to  death 
for  his  own  sin. 

7  *He  slew  of  E-d5m  in  ^'the  val- 
ley of  salt  ten  thousand,  and  took 
^Sedah  by  war,  'and  called  the  name 
of  it  J 5kdhe-el  unto  this  day. 

8  ^ "‘Then  Am-a-zi-ah  sent  messen- 
gers to  Je-ho-ash,  the  son  of  Je-ho- 
a-haz  son  of  Je-hu,  king  of  Is-ra-Sl, 
saying.  Come,  let  us  look  one  an- 
other in  the  face. 

9  And  Je-ho-ash  the  king  of  I?- 
ra-el  sent  to  Am-a-zi-ah  king  of  Ju- 
dah, saying,  “The  thistle  that  was 
in  Leb-a-nSn  sent  to  the  ^ cedar  that 
was  in  Leb-a-n5n,  saying.  Give  thy 
daughter  to  my  son  to  wife:  and 
there  passed  by  a wild  beast  that 
was  in  Leb-a-nOn,  and  trode  down 
the  thistle. 

10  Thou  hast  indeed  smitten  E- 
d6m,  and  Hhine  heart  hath  lifted 
thee  up : glory  of  this,  and  tarry 
®at  home : for  why  shouldest  thou 
meddle  to  thy  hurt,  that  thou 
shouldest  fall,  even  thou,  and  Ju- 
dah with  thee^ 

1 1  But  'Am-a-zi-ah  would  not  hear.

12  And  Ju-dah /was  put  to  the 
worse  before  Is-ra-el ; and  they  fled 
every  man  to  their  tents. 

13  And  Je-ho-ash  king  of  I§/a-el 
took  Am-a-zi-ah  king  of  Ju-dah, 
the  son  of  Je-ho-ash  the  son  of 
A-ha-zi-ah,  at  B6th-she-mesh,  and 
came  to  J6-ru-sa-l6m,  and  brake 
down  the  wall  of  Je-ru-sa-l6m  from 
'^the  gate  of  E-phra-im  unto  Hhe 
corner  gate,  four  hundred  cubits. 

14  And  he  took  all  *the  gold  and 
silver,  and  all  the  vessels  that  were 
found  in  the  house  of  the  Lokd, 
and  in  the  treasures  of  the  king’s

Jo-ash  king  of  Ju-dah  lived  after 
the  death  of  Je-ho-ash  son  of  JAho- 
Ahaz  king  of  Is-rAel  fifteen  years. 

18  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Am-a-zi-ah,  are  they  not  written  in 
the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ju-dah 

19  Now  ythey  made  a conspiracy 
against  him  in  JAru-sAl6m:  and 
he  fled  to  * La^hish  ; but  they  sent 
after  him  to  La-chish,  and  slew  him 
there. 

20  And  they  brought  him  on 
horses:  and  he  was  buried  at  JA 
ru-sAlem  with  his  fathers  in  the 
city  of  DAvid. 

21  U And  all  the  people  of  Ju-dah 
took  “ Az-a-ri-ah,  wnich  was  sixteen

sixteen  years  in  JAru-sa-lem,  and 
did  not  that  which  was  right  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord  his  God,  like 
Da-vid  his  father. 

3 But  he  walked  in  the  way  of

10  U And  king  Adiaz  v/ent  to  Da-

king  of  As-syrd-a,  and  saw  an  altar 
that  was  at  Da-masCus : and  king 
ACaz  sent  to  tJ-ri-jah  the  priest 
the  fashion  of  the  altar,  and  the 
pattern  of  it,  according  to  all  the 
workmanship  thereof. 

11  And  U-ri-iah  the  priest  built 
an  altar  according  to  all  that  king 
A-haz  had  sent  from  Da-masCus: 
so  U-rldah  the  priest  made  it  against 
king  A-haz  came  from  Da-masCiis. 

12  And  when  the  king  was  come 
from  Da-masCtis,  the  king  saw  the 
altar : and  ^the  king  approached  to 
the  altar,  and  offered  thereon. 

13  And  he  burnt  his  burnt  offering 
and  his  meat  offering,  and  jioured 
his  drink  offering,  and  sprinkled 
the  blood  of  ^his  peace  offerings, 
upon  the  altar. 

14  And  he  brought  also  Hhe  brasen 
altar,  which  was  before  the  Lord, 
from  the  forefront  of  the  house, 
from  between  the  altar  and  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  put  it  on 
the  north  side  of  the  altar. 

15  And  king  ACaz  commanded 
U-rl-jah  the  priest,  saying.  Upon  the 
great  altar  burn  * the  morning  burnt 
offering,  and  the  evening  meat  of- 
fering, and  the  king’s  burnt  sac- 
rifice, and  his  meat  offering,  with 
the  burnt  offering  of  all  the  people 
of  the  land,  and  their  meat  offer- 
ing, and  their  drink  offerings  ; and 
sprinkle  upon  it  all  the  blood  of  the 
burnt  offering,  and  all  the  blood  of 
the  sacrifice : and  the  brasen  altar 
shall  be  for  me  to  enquire  by. 

16  Thus  did  U-ri-jah  the  priest, 
according  to  all  that  king  Affiaz 
commanded. 

17  11  ^And  king  A-haz  cut  off  ^the 
borders  of  the  bases,  and  removed 
the  laver  from  off  thern ; and  took 
down  Hhe  sea  from  off'  the  brasen 
oxen  that  were  under  it,  and  put  it 
upon  a pavement  of  stones.

A!-haz  which  he  did,  are  they  not

Saniaria  is  taken* 


CHAPTER  17. 

1 ffoshea's  wicked  reign.  5 Samaria  is  besieged  and  taken. 
24  The  strange  nations  transplanted  in  Samaria  make  a 
mixture  of  religions. 

IN  the  twelfth  year  of  A-haz  king 
of  Ju-dah  began  ‘'Ho-she-a  the 
son  of  Edah  to  reign  in  Sa-ma-ri-a 
over  Is-ra-6l  nine  years. 

^ 2 And  he  did  that  which  was  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Loed,  but  not 
as  the  kings  of  Is-ra-el  that  were 
before  him. 

3  ^ Against  him  came  up  ®Shal- 
ma-ne%er  king  of  As-syr4-a ; and 
Ho-she-a  became  his  servant,  and 
^gave  him  ^presents. 

4  And  the  king  of  As-syr4-a  found 
conspiracy  in  Ho-she-a : for  he  had 
sent  messengers  to  So  king  of  E- 
gypt,  and  brought  no  present  to 
the  king  of  As-syr-i-a,  as  he  had 
done  year  by  year:  therefore  the 
king  of  As-syr-i-a  shut  him  up,  and 
bound  him  in  prison. 

5  H Then  * the  king  of  As-syr-i-a 
came  up  throughout  all  the  land, 
and  went  up  to  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and  be- 
sieged it  three  years. 

6  IT  "In  the  ninth  year  of  Ho-she^a 
the  king  of  As-syr-i-a  took  Sa-ma- 
ri-a,  and  ^carried  Is-ra-6l  away  into 
As-syr-i-a,  *and  placed  them  in  Ha- 
lah  and  in  Ha-b6r  by  the  river  of 
Go'zan,  and  in  the  cities  of  the 
Medes. 

7  For  so  it  was,  that  the  children 
of  Ish’a-6l  had  sinned  against  the 
Loed  their  God,  which  had  brought 
them  up  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt, 
from  under  the  hand  of  Pha-raoh 
king  of  E-gypt,  and  had  feared  other 
gods, 

8  And  walked  in  the  statutes  of 
the  heathen,  whom  the  Loed  cast 
out  from  before  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-6l,  and  of  the  kings  of  Is-ra-el, 
which  they  had  made. 

9  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l  did 
secretly  those  things  that  were  not 
right  against  the  Loed  their  God, 
and  they  built  them  high  places  in 
all  their  cities,  "from  the  tower  of 
the  watchmen  to  the  fenced  city. 

10  ‘^And  they  set  them  up  ^images 
and  "groves  •''in  every  high  hill,  and 
under  every  green  tree : 

^11  And  there  they  burnt  incense 
in  all  the  high  places,  as  did  the 
heathen  whom  the  Loed  carried 
away  before  them ; and  wrought 
wicked  things  to  provoke  the  Loed 
to  anger : 

12  For  they  served  idols,  * where- 
of the  Loed  had  said  unto  them, 
*Ye  shall  not  do  this  thing. 

13  Yet  the  Loed  testified  against

the  prophets,  and  by  all  “the  seera 
saying,  *Turn  ye  from  your  evil 
ways,  and  keep  my  commandments 
and  my  statutes,  according  to  all 
the  law  which  I commanded  your 
fathers,  and  which  I sent  to  you  by 
my  servants  the  prophets. 

14  Notwithstanding  they  would 
not  hear,  but  ‘^hardened  their  necks, 
like  to  the  neck  of  their  fathers, 
that  did  not  believe  in  the  Loed 
their  God. 

15  And  they  rejected  his  statutes, 
•''and  his  covenant  that  he  made 
with  their  fathers,  and  his  testi- 
monies which  he  testified  against 
them ; and  they  followed  ^vanity, 
and  '‘became  vain,  and  went  after 
the  heathen  that  were  round  about 
them,  concerning  whom  the  Loed 
had  charged  them,  that  they  should 
*not  do  like  them. 

16  And  they  left  all  the  command- 
ments of  the  Loed  their  God,  and 
'made  them  molten  images,  even 
two  calves,  "‘and  made  a grove,  and 
worshipped  all  the  host  of  heaven, 
"and  served  Ba-al. 

Il/And  they  caused  their  sons  and  \ 
their  daughters  to  ^ass  through  the  \ 
fire,  and  "used  divination  and  en-| 
chantments,  and  'sold  themselves 
to  do  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Loed,  I 
to  provoke  him  to  anger.  ] 

18  Therefore  the  Loed  was  very! 
angry  with  Is-ra-el,  and  removed  i 
them  out  of  his  sight : there  was  I 
none  left  "but  the  tribe  of  Ju-dah  I 
only. 

19  Also  * Ju-dah  kept  not  the  com- 
mandments of  the  Loed  their  God, 
but  walked  in  the  statutes  of  Is-ra-Sl 
which  they  made. 

20  And  the  Loed  rejected  all  the 
seed  of  Is-ra-6l,  and  afilicted  them, 
and  * delivered  them  into  the  hand 
of  spoilers,  until  he  had  cast  them 
out  of  his  sight. 

21  For  “he  rent  Is-ra-el  from  the 
house  of  Da-vid ; and  ''they  made 
j6r-6-bo-am  the  son  of  Ne-bat  king: 
and  J6r-6-bo-am  drave  Is-ra-6l  from 
following  the  Loed,  and  made  them 
sin  a great  sin. 

22  For  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
walked  in  all  the  sins  of  Jer-6- 
bo-am  which  he  did ; they  de- 
parted not  from  them ; 

23  Until  the  Loed  removed  Is;ra-6l 
out  of  his  sight,  ^as  he  had  said  by 
all  his  servants  the  prophets.  '•So 
was  Is-ra-&l  carried  away  out  of 
their  own  land  to  As-syr-i-a  unto 
this  day. 

24  ^ 'And  the  king  of  As-syr-I-a 
brought  men  "‘from  Bab-;^-l5n,  and 
from  €3u-thah,  and  from  ”A-va,  and

from  Ha-math,  and  from  Seph-ar- 
vahm,  and  placed  them  in  the  cities 
of  Sa-ma-ri-a  instead  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el : and  they  possessed 
Sa-ma-ri-a,  and  dwelt  in  the  cities 
thereof. 

25  And  so  it  was  at  the  beginning 
of  their  dwelling  there,  that  they 
feared  not  the  Lord  : therefore  the 
Lord  sent  lions  among  them,  which 
slew  some  of  them. 

26  Wherefore  they  spake  to  the 
king  of  As-syr4-a,  saying.  The  na- 
tions which  thou  hast  removed,  and 


of  the  land : therefore  he  hath  sent 
lions  among  them,  and,  behold,  they 
slay  them,  because  they  know  not 
the  manner  of  the  God  of  the  land. 

27  Then  the  king  of  As-syr4-a  com- 
manded, saying.  Carry  thither  one 
of  the  priests  whom  ye  brought 
from  thence ; and  let  them  go  and 
dwell  there,  and  let  him  teach 
them,  the  manner  of  the  God  of  the 
land. 

28  Then  one  of  the  priests  whom 
they  had  carried  away  from  Sa-ma- 
ri-a  came  and  dwelt  in  Beth'-el,  and 
taught  them  how  they  should  fear 
the  Lord. 

29  Howbeit  every  nation  made 
gods  of  their  own,  and  put  them^  in 
the  houses  of  the  high  places  which 
the  Sa-mar-i-tans  had  made,  every 
nation  in  their  cities  wherein  they 
dwelt. 

30  And  the  men  of  ^Bab-y-l5n 
made  Suc-cOth-be-nOth,  and  the 
men  of  -Guth  made  Ner-gal,  and  the 
men  of  Ha-math  made  Ash-i-ma, 

31  *And  the  AWites  made  Nlb- 
haz  and  TarHak,  and  the  Se-phar- 
vites  * burnt  their  children  in  fire 
to  A-dram-me-leeh  and  A-nam-me- 
l^eh,  the  gods  of  Seph-ar-vaum. 

32  So  they  feared  the  Lord,  ”"and 
made  unto  themselves  of  the  lowest 
of  them  priests  of  the  high  places, 
which  sacrificed  for  them  in  the 
houses  of  the  high  places. 

33  ^’They  feared  the  Lord,  and 
served  their  own  gods,  after  the 
manner  of  the  nations  ‘“^whom  they 
carried  away  from  thence. 

34  Unto  this  day  they  do  after  the 
former  manners  : they  fear  not  the 
Lord,  neither  do  they  after  their 
statutes,  or  after  their  ordinances, 
or  after  the  law  and  commandment 
which  the  Lord  commanded  the 
children  of  Ja-cOb,  ‘whom  he  named 
l§-ra-6l ; 

35  With  whom  the  Lord  had  made 
a covenant,  and  charged  them,  say- 
ing, ^'Ye  shall  not  fear  other  gods,

nor  “bow  yourselves  to  them,  nor

36  But  the  Lord,  who  brought  you 
up  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt  with 
great  power  and  ‘'a  stretched  out 
arm,  ®him  shall  ye  fear,  and  him 
shall  ye  worship,  and  to  him  shall 
ye  do  sacrifice.

fear ; and  he  shall  deliver  you  out

40  Howbeit  they  did  not  hearken, 
but  they  did  after  their  former 
manner. 

41  -^So  these  nations  feared  the 
Lord,  and  served  their  graven  im- 
ages, both  their  children,  and  their 
children’s  children : as  did  their

IVT OW  it  came  to  pass  in  the  third

king  of  Is-rAel,  that  ^Hez-e-_ki-ah 
the  son  of  A-haz  king  of  Ju-dah 
began  to  reign. 

2 Twenty  and  five  years  old  was

reigned  twenty  and  nine  years  in 
Je-ru-sa-lem^,  His  mother’s  name

8 “He  smote  the  Phi-lis-tines,  even 
unto  ‘^Ga-za,  and  the  borders  there- 
of, *from  the  tower  of  the  watch- 
men to  the  fenced  city. 

9 H And  ^ it  came  to  pass  in  the 
fourth  year  of  king  Hez-6-ki-ah, 
which  ivas  the  seventh  year  of  Ho- 
she-a  son  of  Edah  king  of  Isd4-6l, 
that  Shal-ma-ne-ser  king  of  As-syr- 
i-a  came  up  against  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and 
besieged  it. 

10  And  at  the  end  of  three  years 
they  took  it : even  in  the  sixth  year 
of  H6z-e-ki4h,  that  is  -^the  ninth 
year  of  Ho-she4  king  of  Is-rd-el, 
SAma-ri-a  was  taken.  ^ 

1 1 ^And  the  king  of  As-syr-i-a  did 
carry  away  Is-ra-el  unto  As-syr-i-a, 
and  put  them  Mn  Hadah  and  in 
Ha-bor  by  the  river  of  Go-zan,  and 
in  the  cities  of  the  Medes : 

12  * Because  they  obeyed  not  the 
voice  of  the  Lokd  their  God,  but 
transgressed  his  covenant,  and  all 
that  Mo-ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
commanded,  and  would  not  hear 
them,  nor  do  them. 

13  If  Now  dn  the  fourteenth  year 
of  king  Hez-e-ki-ah  did  ®Sen-na«h- 
e-rib  king  of  As-syrd-a  come  up 
against  all  the  fenced  cities  of  Ju- 
dah, and  took  them. 

14  And  Hez-e-ki4h  king  of  Ju- 
dah sent  to  the  king  of  As-syrd-a 
to  La-ehish,  saying,  I have  of- 
fended ; return  from  me : that 
which  thou  puttest  on  me  will  I 
bear.  And  the  king  of  As-syrd-a 
appointed  unto  Hez-e-ki-ah  king  of 
Ju-dah  three  hundred  talents  of 
silver  and  thirty  talents  of  gold. 

15  And  Hez-e-ki4h  ”"gave  him  all 
the  silver  that  was  found  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  treas- 
ures of  the  king’s  house. 

16  At  that  time  did  Hez-6-ki4h 
cut  off  the  gold  from  the  doors  of 
the  temple  of  the  Lord,  and  from 
the  pillars  which  Hez-e-ki4h  king 
of  Ju-dah  had  overlaid,  and  gave 
®it  to  the  king  of  As-syrd-a. 

17  *[1  And  the  king  of  As-syrd-a 
sent  Tar-tan  and  Rab-sa-ris  and 
Rab'-sha-keh  from  La-ehish  to  king 
Hez-e-ki4h  with  a great  host  a- 
gainst  J e-ru-s4-leni.  And  they  went 
up  and  came  to  Je-ru-sa-lem.  And 
when  they  were  come  up,  they  came 
and  stood  by  the  conduit  of  the 
upper  pool,  "which  is  in  the  high- 
way of  the  fuller’s  field. 

18  And  when  they  had  called  to 
the  king,  there  came  out  to  them 
E-li4-kim  the  son  of  Hil-ki-ah, 
which  was  over  the  household,  and 


Rah-shalceKs  blasphenty. 

Sheb-na  the  ^scribe,  and  Jo4h  the 
son  of  A-saph  the  recorder. 

19  And  Rab'-sha-keh  said  unto 
them.  Speak  ye  now  to  Hez-e-kl4h, 
Thus  saith  the  great  king,  the  king 
of  As-syrd-a,  "What  confidence  is 
this  wherein  thou  trustest*? 

20_  Thou  ^sayest,  (but  they  are  hut 
■^vain  words,)  have  counsel  and 
strength  for  the  war.  Now  on 
whom  dost  thou  trust,  that  thou 
rebellest  against  mel 

21  "Now,  behold,  thou  ®trustest 
upon  the  staff  of  this  bruised  reed, 
even  upon  E-gypt,  on  which  if  a 
man  lean,  it  will  go  into  his  hand, 
and  pierce  it:  so  is  Pha-raoh  king 
of  E-gypt  unto  all  that  trust  on 
him. 

22  But  if  ye  say  unto  me.  We  trust 
in  the  Lord  our  God : is  not  that 
he,  * w hose  high  places  and  whose 
altars  Hez-e-ki-ah  hath  taken  away, 
and  hath  said  to  Ju-dah  and  Je-rij- 
sa-lem.  Ye  shall  worship  before  this 
altar  in  Je-ru-sd-lem'? 

23  Now  therefore,  I pray  thee, 
give  ^ pledges  to  my  lord  the  king 
of  As-syrd-a,  and  I will  deliver  thee 
two  thousand  horses,  if  thou  be  able 
on  thy  part  to  set  riders  upon  them. 

24  How  then  wilt  thou  turn  away 
the  face  of  one  captain  of  the  least 
of  my  master’s  servants,  and  put 
thy  trust  on  E-gypt  for  chariots 
and  for  horsemen  1 

25  Am  I now  come  up  without  the 
Lord  against  this  place  to  destroy 
it^  The  Lord  said  to  me.  Go  up 
against  this  land,  and  destroy  it. 

26  Then  said  E-li4-kim  the  son  of 
Hil-ki4h,  and  Sheb-na,  and  Jo4h, 
unto  Rab'-sha-keh,  Speak,  I pray 
thee,  to  thy  servants  in  the  Syi -i-an 
language;  for  we  understand 
and  talk  not  with  us  in  the  Jews’ 
language  in  the  ears  of  the  people 
that  are  on  the  walk 

27  But  Rab'-shAkeh  said  unto 
them.  Hath  my  master  sent  me  to 
thy  master,  and  to  thee,  to  speak 
these  words  1 hath  he  not  sent  me 
to  the  men  which  sit  on  the  wall, 
that  they  may  eat  their  own  dung, 
and  drink  Hheir  own  piss  with  you? 

28  Then  Rab'-sha-keh  stood  ^d 
cried  with  a loud  voice  in  the  Jews’ 
language,  and  spake,  saying.  Hear 
the  word  of  the  great  king,  the  king 
of  As-syr-i-a : 

29  Thus  saith  the  king,  ” Let  not 
Hez-6-ki4h  deceive  . you  : for  he 
shall  not  be  able  to  deliver  you  out 
of  his  hand : 

30  Neither  let  Hgz-6-kl4h  make  ,

4 “It  may  be  the  Lord  thy  God 
will  hear  all  the  words  of  Rab'- 
sha-keh,  *whom  the  king  of  As- 
syr-i-a  his  master  hath  sent  to

‘'reprove  the  words  which  the  Lord

up  prayer  for  the  remnant  that 
are  ^left. 

5 So  the  servants  of  king  Hez-6-

6 H ®And  I-sa-iah  said  unto  them. 
Thus  shall  ye  say  to  your  master.

of  the  words  which  thou  hast  heard, 
with  which  the  -^servants  of  the  king

and  shall  return  to  his  own  land ; 
and  I will  cause  him  to  fall  by  the 
sword  in  his  own  land. 

8 H So  Rab'-sha-keh  returned,  and 
found  the  king  of  As-syrh-a  warring 
against  Libhiah : for  he  had  heard 
that  he  was  departed  'Trom  La-ehish. 

9 And  ”‘  when  he  heard  say  of  Tir- 
ha-kah  king  of  E-thi-o-pi-a,  Behold, 
he  is  come  out  to  fight  against  thee : 
he  sent  messengers  again  unto  Hgz-

of  the  king  of  As-syr-i-a. 

11  Behold,  thou  hast  heard  what 
the  kings  of  As-syrh-a  have  done 
to  all  lands,  by  destroying  them  ut- 
terly : and  shalt  thou  be  delivered  % 

12  2 Have  the  gods  of  the  nations

went  up  into  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  spread  it  before  the  Lord. 

15  And  Hez-e-ki-ah  prayed  before

Tsaiah's  prophecy.  II.  KINGS,  20.  Assyrian  army  destroyed. 


17  Of  a truth,  Loud,  the  kings  of 
As-syr4-a  have  destroyed  the  na- 
tions and  their  lands, 

18  And  have  ^cast  their  gods  in- 
to the  fire : for  they  were  no  gods, 
but  “the  work  of  men’s  hands,  wood 
and  stone : therefore  they  have  de- 
stroyed them. 

1 9 Now  therefore,  O Lord  our  God, 

I  beseech  thee,  save  thou  us  out  of 
his  hand,  ‘^that  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  earth  may  know  that  thou  art 
the  Lord  God,  even  thou  only. 

20  ^ Then  I-sa-iah  the  son  of  A- 
m5z  sent  to  Hez-e-ki-ah,  saying. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Ish’a-el, 

^ That  which  thou  hast  prayed  to 
me  against  Sen-naeh-e-rib  king  of 
As-syr4-a  •'’I  have  heard. 

21  This  is  the  word  that  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  concerning  him;  The 
virgin  ^ the  daughter  of  Zi-5n  hath 
despised  thee,  and  laughed  thee  to 
scorn ; the  daughter  of  J e-ru-sa-lem 
*hath  shaken  her  head  at  thee. 

22  Whom  hast  thou  reproached 

and  blasphemed'?  and  against  whom 
hast  thou  exalted  thy  voice,  and 
lifted  up  thine  eyes  on  even 

against  Hhe  Holy  One  of  Is-ra-el. 

23  thy  messengers  thou  hast 
reproached  the  Lord,  and  hast  said, 

With  the  multitude  of  my  chariots 
I am  come  up  to  the  height  of  the 
mountains,  to  the  sides  of  Leb-a-n5n, 
and  will  cut  down  ® the  tall  cedar 
trees  thereof,  and  the  choice  fir 
trees  thereof : and  I will  enter  into 
the  lodgings  of  his  borders,  and  into 
®the  forest  of  his  Gftr-mel. 

24 1 have  digged  and  drunk  strange 
waters,  and  with  the  sole  of  my  feet 
have  I dried  up  all  the  rivers  of 
' besieged  places. 

25  *Hast  thou  not  heard  long  ago 
how  H have  done  it,  and  of  ancient 
times  that  I have  formed  it?  now 
have  I brought  it  to  pass,  that 
Hhou  shouldest  be  to  lay  waste 
fenced  cities  into  ruinous  heaps. 

26  Therefore  their  inhabitants 
were  ^of  small  power,  they  were 
dismayed  and  confounded ; they 
were  as  the  grass  of  the  field,  and 
as  the  green  herb,  as  the  grass  on 
the  house  tops,  and  as  corn  blasted 
before  it  be  grown  up. 

27  But  ^I  know  thy  ® abode,  and 
thy  going  out,  and  thy  coming  in, 
and  thy  rage  against  me. 

28  Because  thy  rage  against  me 
and  thy  tumult  is  come  up  into 
mine  ears,  therefore  “I  will  put  my 
hook  in  thy  nose,  and  my  bridle  in 
thy  lips,  and  I will  turn  thee  back 
by  the  way  by  which  thou  earnest.

springeth  of  the  same ; and  in  the

go  forth  a remnant,  and  ^they  that 
escape  out  of  mount  Zi-5n : ^ the  zeal 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall  do  this. 

32  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lori 
concerning  the  king  of  As-syr-i-a, 
He  shall  not  come  into  this  city, 
nor  shoot  an  arrow  there,  nor  comi\ 
before  it  with  shield,  nor  cast  a 
bank  against  it. 

33  By  the  way  that  he  came,  by 
the  same  shall  he  return,  and  shall 
not  come  into  this  city,  saith  the 
Lord. 

34  For  I will  defend  this  city,  to 
save  it,  for  mine  own  sake,  and  *foi 
my  servant  Da-vid’s  sake. 

35  H And  '“'it  came  to  pass  that 
night,  that  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
went  out,  and  smote  in  the  camp 
of  the  As-syr4-ans  an  hundred  four- 
score and  five  thousand : and  when 
they  arose  early  in  the  morning, 
behold,  they  were  all  dead  corpses. 

36  So  Sen-naeh-e-rib  king  of  As- 
syr-i-a  departed,  and  went  and  re- 
turned, and  dwelt  at  ®Nin-e-veh. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was 
worshipping  in  the  house  of  Nis- 
r5eh  his  god,  that^A-dram-me-leeh 
and  Sha-re-zer  his  sons  smote  him 
with  the  sword : and  they  escaped

to  himi  and  said  unto  him.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  ^Set  thine  house  in 
order ; for  thou  shalt  die,  and  not 
live. 

2  Then  he  turned  his  face  to  the 
wall,  and  prayed  unto  the  Lord, 
saying, 

3  I beseech  thee,  O Lord,  ^remem^ 
ber  now  how  I have  ^walked  before 
tliee  in  truth  and  with  a perfect

4 And  it  came  to  pass,  afore  I-sa-

^ court,  that  the  word  of  the  Loed 
came  to  him,  saying, 

5 Turn  again,  and  tell  Hez-e-ki-ah 
Hhe  captain  of  my  people.  Thus 
saith  the  Lorix  the  God  of  Da-vid 
thy  father,  have  heard  thy 
prayer,  I have  seen  ^ thy  tears : 
behold,  I will  heal  thee:  on  the 
third  day  thou  shalt  go  up  unto 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

6 And  I will  add  unto  thy  days 
fifteen  years ; and  I will  deliver 
thee  and  this  city  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  As-syr-i-a ; and  ^ I 
will  defend  this  city  for  mine  own 
sake,  and  for  my  servant  Da-vid’s 
sake. 

7 And  '^I-sa-iah  said.  Take  a lump 
of  figs.  And  they  took  and  laid  it 
on  the  boil,  and  he  recovered. 

8 ^ And  H6z-e-ki-ah  said  unto  I- 
sa-iah,  *What  shall  be  the  sign  that 
the  Lord  will  heal  me,  and  that  I 
shall  go  up  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord  the  third  day"? 

9 And  I-sa-iah  said,  "This  sign 
shalt  thou  have  of  the  Lord,  that 
the  Lord  will  do  the  thing  that  he 
hath  spoken : shall  the  shadow  go 
forward  ten  degrees,  or  go  back  ten 
degrees  1 

^ 10  And  Hez-6-ki-ah  answered.  It 
is  a light  thing  for  the  shadow  to 
go  down  ten  degrees : nay,  but  let 
the  shadow  return  backward  ten 
degrees.  _ 

1 1 And  I-sa-iah  the  prophet  cried 
unto  the  Lord:  and  ’*he  brought 
the  shadow  ten  degrees  backward, 
by  which  it  had  gone  down  in  the 
^dial  of  A-haz. 

12  H-^At  that  time  ^BS-ro-dach- 
baTa-dan,  ^ the  son  of  Bal-a-dan, 
king  of  Bab-y-l5n,  sent  letters  and 
a present  unto  H6z-e-ki-ah  : for  he 
had  heard  that  Hez-6-ki-ah  had 
O00n  sick 

13  And  “Hez-6-ki-ah  hearkened 
unto  them,  and  shewed  them  all

are  in  mine  house  fiave  they  seen : 
there  is  nothing  among  my  treas- 
ures that  I have  not  shewea  them. 

16  And  I-sa-iah  said  unto  H6z-e- 
ki-ah,  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

1 7 Behold,  the  days  come,  that  all 
that  is  in  thine  house,  and  that 
which  thy  fathers  have  laid  up  in 
store  unto  this  day,  "shall  be  car-

18  And  of  thy  sons  that  shall  issue 
from  thee,  which  thou  shalt  beget, 
^ shall  they  take  away ; '“^and  they 
shall  be  eunuchs  in  the  palace  of 
the  king  of  BabW-l5n. 

19  Then  said  Hez-e-ki-ah  unto 
I-sa-iah,  *Good  is  the  word  of  the 
Lord  which  thou  hast  spoken.  And 
he  said,  ‘^Is  it  not  good,  if  peace

MA-NAS-SEH  twelve  years 

old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  reigned  fifty  and  five  years  in 
J 0-ru-sa-lem.  And  his  mother’s 
name  was  Heph-zi-bah. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  ^after  the 
abominations  of  the  heathen,  whom 
the  Lord  cast  out  before  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-6l.

places  * which  Hez-e-ki-ah  his  fa-

up  altars  for  Ba-al,  and  made  a 
grove,  ^as  did  A-hab  king  of  lsh4- 
6l ; and  * worshipped  all  the  host  of 
heaven,  and  served  them.

house  of  the  Lord,  of  which  the 
Lord  said,  *In  Je-ru-sa-l6m  will  I 
put  my  name.

provoke  him  to  anger. 

7 And  he  set  a graven  image  ot 
tlie  grove  that  he  had  made  in  the 
house,  of  which  the  Lord  said  to 
Da-vid,  and  to  S5l-5-m5n  his  son, 

* In  this  house,  and  in  J e-ru-sa-l6m, 
which  I have  chosen  out  of  all 
tribes  of  Is-ra-6l,  will  I put  my 
name  for  ever: 

8 * Neither  will  I make  the  feet  ot 
Is-ra-el  move  any  more  out  of  the 
land  which  I gave  their  fathers; 
only  if  they  will  observe  to  do 
according  to  all  that  I have  com- 
manded them,  and  according  to  all  * i ki.  ii.  33. 
the  law  that  my  servant  Mo-s6s 
commanded  them. 

9 But  they  hearkened  not:  and 

Ma-nas-seh  ^seduced  them  to  do 
more  evil  than  did  the  nations 
whom  the  Lord  destroyed  before 
the  children  of  ls-r4-6l.  . 

10  U And  the  Lord  spake  by  his 
servants  the  prophets,  saying,  ^ 

1 1 ^Because  Ma-nas-seh  king  of  J u- 
dah  hath  done  these  abominations, 

^aTid  hath  done  wickedly  above  all 
that  the  Am-6r-ites  did,  which 
before  him,  and  ^‘^hath  made  Ju-dah 
also  to  sin  with  his  idols  : 

12  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  ls-ra-6l,  Behold,  I am^  brin^ 
ing  such  evil  upon  J O-ru-sAlem  and 
Ju-dah,  that  whosoever  heareth  ot 
it,  both  "‘his  ears  shall  tingle. 

13  And  I will  stretch  over  Je-ru- 
sa-lem  "the  line  of  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and 
the  plummet  of  the  house  of  A-hab : 
and  I will  wipe  Je-ru-sa-lem  as  a 
man  wipeth  a dish,  ^ wiping  it,  and 
turning  it  upside  down. 

14  And  I will  forsake  the  rem- 
nant of  mine  inheritance,  and  de- 
liver them  into  the  hand  of  their 
enemies : and  they  shall  become  a 
prey  ana  a spoil  to  all  their  enemies ; 

15  Because  they  have  done  that 
which  was  evil  in  my  sight,  and 
have  provoked  me  to  anger,  since 
the  day_  their  fathers  came  forth 
out  of  E-gypt,  even  unto  this  day. 

16  * Moreover  Ma-nas-seh  shed  in- 

nocent blood  very  much,  till  he  had 
filled  JAru-sa-l6m  ^from  one  end  to 
another ; beside  his  sin  wherewith 
he  made  Ju-dah  to  sin,  in  doing 
that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  01 
the  Lord.  „ , . r.

Ma-nas-s6h,  and  all  that  he  did,  and 
his  sin  that  he  sinned,  are  they  not

19  “A-m6n  was  twenty  and  two 
years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  two  years  in  Je-ru- 
sa-lSm.  And  his  mother’s  name 
was  Me-shul-l6-m6th,  the  daughter 
of  Ha-ruz  of  J6t-bah. 

20  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  ‘'as 
his  father  Ma-nas-s6h  did. 

21  And  he  walked  in  all  the  way 
that  his  father  walked  in,  and 
served  the  idols  that  his  father 
served,  and  worshipped  them: 

22  And  he  ® forsook  the  Lord  God 
of  his  fathers,  and  walked  not  in 
the  way  of  the  Lord. 

23  H •'^And  the  servants  of  A-m5n 
conspired  against  him,  and  slew 
the  Idng  in  his  own  house. 

24  And  the  people  of  the  land 
slew  all  them  that  had  conspired 
against  king  A-m5n:  and  the  peo- 
ple of  the  land  made  Jo-si-ah  his 
son  king  in  his  stead. 

25  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
A-m5n  which  he  did,  are  they  not 
written  in  the  book  of  the  chron- 
icles of  the  kings  of  Ju-dah  | 

26  And  he  was  buried  in  his  sep- 
ulchre in  the  garden  of  Uz-za:  and 
* Jo-si-ah  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead. 

CHAPTER  22. 

1 Josiah's  good  reign.  3 He  taketh  care  for  the  repair  oj 
the  temple.  8 Hilklah  having  found  a book  of  the  law, 
Josiah  sendeth  to  ffuldah  to  enquire  of  the  Lord.  15 
Buldah  prophesieth  the  destruction  of  Jerusalem,  but 
respite  thereof  in  Josiah  s time. 

JO-Sl-AH  •^was  eight  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
he  reigned  thirty  and  one  years  m 
Je-ru-sa-l6m.  And  his  mothers 
name  ivas  Je-di-dah,  the  daughter 
of  A-da-iMi  of  ^BOs-cath.  . 

2 And  he  did  that  which  was  right 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  walked 
in  all  the  way  of  Da-vid  his  fathCT, 
and  « turned  not  aside  to  the  right 
hand  or  to  the  left.  . . 

3 ^ "And  it  came  to  pass  m ,the 
eighteenth  year  of  king  Jo-si-ah, 
that  the  king  sent  Sha-phan  the 
son  of  Az-a-li-ah,  the  son  of  Me- 
shuTlam,  the  scribe,  to  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  saying, 

4 Go  up  to  Hil-ki-ah  the  high 
priest,  that  he  may  sum  the  silver 
which  is  ^brought  into  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  which  *the  keepers 
of  the  ®door  have  gathered  of  the 
people : . . . , i i 

5 And  let  them  deliver  it  into  the

have  the  oversight  of  the  house  ot 
the  Lord  : and  let  them  give  it  to

the  house  of  the  Loed,  to  repair  the 
breaches  of  the  house, 

6 Unto  carpenters,  and  builders, 
and  masons,  and  to  buy  timber  and 
hewn  stone  to  repair  the  house. 

7 Ho wbeit  “there  was  no  reckon- 
ing made  with  them  of  the  money 
that  was  delivered  into  their  hand, 
because  they  dealt  faithfully. 

8 U And  Hil-kl-ah  the  high  priest 
said  unto  Sha-phan  the  scribe,  H 
have  found  the  book  of  the  law  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  Hil- 
kl-ah  gave  the  book  to  Sha-phan, 
and  he  read  it. 

9 And  Sha-phan  the  scribe  came 
to  the  king,  and  brought  the  king 
word  again,  and  said.  Thy  servants 
have  ^gathered  the  money  that  was 
found  in  the  house,  and  have  de- 
livered it  into  the  hand  of  them 
that  do  the  work,  that  have  the 
oversight  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

10  And  Sha-phan  the  scribe  shewed 
the  king,  saying,  Hll-ki-ah  the  priest 
hath  delivered  me  a book.  And 
Sha-phan  read  it  before  the  king. 

1 1 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
king  had  heard  the  words  of  the 
book  of  the  law,  that  he  rent  his 
jlothes. 

12  And  the  king  commanded  Hil- 
ki-ah  the  priest,  and  A-hi-kam  the 
son  of  Sha-phan,  and  *Ach-b6r  the 
son  of  ^Mi-ehadah,  and  Sha-phan 
the  scribe,  and  As-a-hi-ah  a servant 
of  the  king’s,  saying, 

13  Go  ye,  enquire  of  the  Lord  for 
me,  and  for  the  people,  and  for  all 
Ju-dah,  concerning  the  words  of 
this  book  that  is  found ; for  great 
is  *the  wrath  of  the  Lord  that  is 
kindled  against  us,  because  our 
fathers  have  not  hearkened  unto 
the  words  of  this  book,  to  do  ac- 
cording unto  all  that  which  is 
written  concerning  us. 

14  So  Hll-ki-ah  the  priest,  and 
A-hi-kam,  and  Aeh-bor,  and  Sha- 
phan,  and  As-a-hi-ah,  went  unto 
Hul-dah  the  prophetess,  the  wife 
of  Shaldum  tlie  son  of  “Tik-vah, 
the  son  of  ^Har-has,  keeper  of  the 
® wardrobe  ; (now  she  dwelt  in  Je- 
ru-sa-km  ®in  the  college  ;)  and  they 
communed  with  her. 

15  ^ And  she  said  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  Tell 
the  man  that  sent  you  to  m^ 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold, 
will  bring  evil  upon  this  place, 

and  upon  the  inhabitants  thereof, 
even  all  the  words  of  the  book 
which  the  king  of  Ju-dah  hath

me  to  anger  with  all  the  works  of 
their  hands ; therefore  my  wrath 
shall  be  kindled  against  this  place, 
and  shall  not  be  quenched. 

18  But  to  Hhe  king  of  Ju-dah 
which  sent  you  to  enquire  of  the 
Lord,  thus  shall  ye  say  to  him, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is-

thou  hast  heard ; 

1 9 Because  thine  heart  was  ten- 
der, and  thou  hast  '"humbled  thyself 
before  the  Lord,  when  thou  heard- 
est  what  I spake  against  this  place, 
and  against  the  inhabitants  thereof, 
that  they  should  become  -^a  desola- 
tion and  ^a  curse,  and  hast  rent  thy 
clothes,  and  wept  before  me ; I also 
have  heard  thee,  saith  the  Lord. 

20  Behold  therefore,  I will  gather 
thee  unto  thy  fathers,  and  thou 
^shalt  be  gathered  into  thy  grave 
in  peace ; and  thine  eyes  shall  not 
see  all  the  evil  which  I will  bring 
upon  this  place.  And  they  brought 
the  king  word  again. 

CHAPTER  23. 

1 Josiah  causeth  the  book  to  be  read  in  a solemn  assemblg. 
3 He  reneweth  the  covenant  of  the  Lord.  4 He  destroy eth 
idolatry.  15  He  burneth  dead  men’s  bones  upon  the 
altar  of  Beth-el,  as  was  foreprophesied.  21  He  keepeth  a 
most  solemn  passover.  24  He  putteth  away  witches  and 
all  abominations.  26  God's  final  wrath  against  Judah. 
29  Josiah  is  slain  at  Megiddo.  31  Jekoahaz  succeedeth 
him.  36  Jehoiakim's  wicked  reign. 

AND  *the  king  sentj  and  they 
jl^.  gathered  unto  him  all  the 
elders  of  Ju-dah  and  of  JAru-sd- 
lem. 

2 And  the  king  went  up  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  all  the  men 
of  J u-dah  and  all  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru-sa-lem  with  him,  and  the 
priests,  and  the  prophets,  and  all 
the  people,  ^both  small  and  great : 
and  he  read  in  their  ears  all  the 
words  of  the  book  of  the  covenant 

which  was  found  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

3 IT  And  the  king  ” stood  by  a pillar, 
and  made  a covenant  before  the 
Lord,  to  walk  after  the  Lord,  and 
to  keep  his  commandments  and  his 
testimonies  and  his  statutes  with 
all  their  heart  and  all  their  soul,  to 
perform  the  words  of  this  covenant 
that  were  written  in  this  book. 
And  all  the  people  stood  to  the 
covenant. 

4 And  the  king  commanded  Hil- 
ki-ah  the  high  priest,  and  the 
priests  of  the  second  order,  and  the 
keepers  of  the  door,  to  bring  forth 
out  of  the  temple  of  the  Lord  all 
the  vessels  that  were  made  for 
Ba-al,  and  for  ""the  grove,  and  for 
all  the  host  of  heaven : and  he 


389 


Josiak  destroyeth  11.  KINGS,  23. idolatry  in  Judah 


burned  them  without  Je-ru-sa-lem 
in  the  fields  of  Kid-rdn,  and  carried 
the  ashes  of  them  unto  Beth'-el. 

5 And  he  ^put  down  the /^idola- 
trous priests,  whom  the  kings  of 
Ju-dah  had  ordained  to  burn  in- 
cense in  the  high  places  in  the 
cities  of  Ju-dah,  and  in  the  places 
round  about  Je-ru-sa-lem ; th^m 
also  that  burned  incense  unto  Ba-al, 
to  tho  sun,  and  to  the  moon,  and  to 
the  ^planets,  and  to  *all  the  host  of 
heaven. 

6 And  he  brought  out  the  ‘’grove 
from  the  house  of  the  Lord,  with- 
out Je-ru-sa-lem,  unto  the  brook 
Kid-r5n,  and  burned  it  at  the  brook 
Kid-rSn,  and  stamped  it  small  to 
powder,  and  cast  the  powder  there- 
of upon  ®the  graves  of  the  children 
of  the  people. 

7 And  he  brake  down  the  houses 
•^of  the  sodomites,  that  were  by  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  ^ where  the  wo- 
men wove  ® hangings  for  the  grove. 

8 And  he  brought  all  the  priests 
out  of  the  cities  of  Ju-dafi,  and 
defiled  the  high  places  where  the 
priests  had  burned  incense,  from 
*Ge-ba  to  Be-er-she-ba,  and  brake 
down  the  high  places  of  the  gates 
that  were  in  the  entering  in  of  the 
gate  of  J6sh-u-a  the  governor  of  the 
city,  which  were  on  a man’s  left 
hand  at  the  gate  of  the  city. 

9 ^Nevertheless  the  priests  of  the 
high  places  came  not  up  to  the 
altar  of  the  Lord  in  Je-ru-sa-lem, 
"‘but  they  did  eat  of  the  unleav- 
ened bread  among  their  brethren. 

10  And  he  defiled  ‘’To-pheth,  which 
is  in  ^the  valley  of  the  children  of 
Hin-nem,  ^that  no  man  might  make 
his  son  or  his  daughter  to  pass 
through  the  fire  to  Mo-lech. 

11  And  he  took  away  the  horses 
that  the  kings  of  Ju-dah  had  given 
to  the  sun,  at  the  entering  in  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  by  the 
chamber  of  Na-than-medech  the 
® chamberlain,  which  was  in  the 
suburbs,  and  burned  the  chariots 
of  the  sun  with  fire. 

12  And  the  altars  that  were  ’'on 
the  top  of  the  upper  chamber  of 
A-haz,  which  the  kings  of  Ju-dah 
had  made,  and  the  altars  which 
“Ma-nas-seh  had  made  in  the  two 
courts  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
did  the  king  beat  down,  and  ®brake 
them  down  from  thence,  and  cast 
t;ne  dust  of  them  into  the  brook 
Kid-r5n. 

13  And  the  high  places  ^atwere

king  of  Is-ra-el  had  builded  foi 
Ash-t5-retli  the  abomination  of  the 
Zi-do-ni-&ns,  and  for  -Ohe-mOsh  the 
abomination  of  the  Mo-ab-ites,  and 
for  Mil^6m  the  abomination  of  the 
children  of  Am-m5n,  did  the  king 
defile. 

14  And  he  “brake  in  pieces  the 
^images,  and  cut  down  the  groves, 
and  filled  their  places  with  the 
bones  of  men. 

15  U Moreover  the  altar  that  was 
at  Beth'-el,  and  the  high  place 

which  Jer-5-bo-am  the  son  of  Ne- 
bat,  who  made  Is-ra-el  to  sin,  had 
made,  both  that  altar  and  the  high 
place  he  brake  down,  and  burned 
the  high  place,  and  stamped  it 
small  to  powder,  and  burned  the 
grove. 

16  And  as  Jo-si-ah  turned  himself, 
he  spied  the  sepulchres  that  were 
there  in  the  mount,  and  sent,  and 
took  the  bones  out  of  the  sepul- 
chres, and  burned  them  upon  the 
altar,  and  polluted  it,  according  to 
the  '‘word  of  the  Lord  which  the 
man  of  God  proclaimed,  who  pro- 
claimed these  words. 

17  Then  he  said.  What  title  is  that 
that  I see'?  And  the  men  of  the  city 
told  him, is  *the  sepulchre  of  the 
man  of  God,  which  came  from  J u' 
dah,  and  proclaimed  these  things 
that  thou  hast  done  against  the 
altar  of  Beth'-el. 

18  And  he  said.  Let  him  alone; 
let  no  man  move  his  bones.  So 
they  let  his  bones  ®alone,  with  the 
bones  of  "the  prophet  that  came 
out  of  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

1 9 And  all  the  houses  also  of  the 
high  places  that  were  ^in  the  cities 
of  Sa-ma-ri-a,  which  the  kings  of 
Is-ra-el  had  made  to  provoke  the 
Lord  to  anger,  Jo-sl-ah  took  away, 
and  did  to  them  according  to  all  the 
acts  that  he  had  done  in  Beth'-el. 

20  And  *he  'slew’  all  the  priests 
of  the  high  places  that  were  there 
upon  the  altars,  and  "burned  men  s 
bones  upon  them,  and  returned  to 
JAru-sa-lem. 

21  ^ And  the  king  commanded  all 

the  people,  saying,  ^Keep  the  pass- 
over  unto  the  Lord  your  God,  'as 
it  is  written  in  the  book  of  this 
covenant.  , 

22  Surely  '’there  was  not  holden 
such  a passover  from  the  days  of 
the  judges  that  judged  I§-ra-6l,  nor 
in  all  the  days  of  the  kings  of  Is- 
ra-el,  nor  of  the  kings  of  J u-dah ; 

23  But  in  the  eighteenth  year  of 
king  Jo-si-ah,  wherein  this  passover 
was  holden  to  the  Lord  in  Je-ru- 
sa-lem.

24  H Moreover  “the  workers  with 
familiar  spirits,  and  the_  wizards, 
and  the  Hma.ges,  and  the  idols,  and 
all  the  abominations  that  were  spied 
in  the  land  of  Ju-dah  and  in  Je-ru- 
s4-lem,  did  Jo-si-ah  put  away,  that 
he  might  perform  the  W9rds  of  ^the 
law  which  were  written  in  the  book 
that  Hil-ki-ah  the  priest  found  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

25  ^'And  like  unto  him  was  there 
no  king  before  him,  that  turned  to 
the  Lord  with  all  his  heart,  and 
with  all  his  soul,  and  with  all  his 
might,  according  to  all  the  law 
of  Mo-se§ ; neither  after  him  arose 
there  any  like  him. 

26  ^ Notwithstanding  the  Lord 
turned  not  from  the  fierceness  of 
his  great  wrath,  wherewith  his 
anger  was  kindled  against  Ju-dah, 

* because  of  all  the  ‘-^provocations 
that  Ma-nas-seh  had  provoked  him 
withal. 

27  And  the  Lord  said,  I will  re- 
move Ju-dah  also  out  of  my  sight, 
as  *I  have  reinoved  Is-ra-el,  and 
will  cast  off  this  city  Je-ru-s4-lem 
which  I have  chosen,  and  the  house 
of  which  I said,  ^My  name  shall  be 
there. 

28  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo- 
si-ah,  and  all  that  he  did,  are  they 
not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju-dah? 

29  H Mil  his  days  PhaAaoh-ne-ehoh 
king  of  E%ypt  went  up  against  the 
king  of  As-syr-i-a  to  the  river  Eu- 
phra-tes:  and  king  Jo-si-ah  went 
against  him ; and  he  slew  him  at 
p Me-gid-d6,  when  he  ® had  seen 
him. 

30  * And  his  servants  carried  him 
in  a chariot  dead  from  Me-gidM6, 
and  brought  him  to  Je-ru-sa-lem, 
and  buried  him  in  his  own  sepul- 
chre. And  Mhe  people  of  the  land 
took  Je-ho-a-haz  the  son  of  Jo-si-ah, 
and  anointed  him.  and  made  him 
king  in  his  father’s  stead. 

31  H Me-ho-a-haz  was  twenty  and 
three  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign ; and  he  reigned  three  months 
in  Je-ru-sa-lem.  And  his  mother’s 
name  was  ^Ha-mu-tal,  the  daughter 
of  J er-S-ml-ah  of  Lib-nah. 

^ 32  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  according 
to  all  that  his  fathers  had  done. 

^ 33  And  Pha-raoh-ne'-eh6h  put  him 
in  bands  “at  Pibdah  in  the  land 
of  Ha-math,  ®that  he  might  not 
reign  in  Je-ru-sa-lem ; and  ^put  the 
land  to  a tribute  of  an  hundred 
talents  of  silver,  and  a talent  of 
gold. 

34  And  ^ Pha-raoh-ne^hoh  made 


E-li-a-kim  the  son  of  Jo-si-ah  king 

in  the  room  of  Jo-si-ah  his  father, 
and  * turned  his  name  to  ‘^Je-hoi- 
a-kim,  and  took  Je-ho-a-haz  away : 
‘^and  he  came  to  E-gypt,  and  died 
there. 

35  And  Je-hoi-a-kim  gave  -^the 
silver  and  the  gold  to  Pha-raoh; 
but  he  taxed  the  land  to  give  the 
money  according  to  the  command- 
ment of  Pha-raoh:  he  exacted  the 
silver  and  the  gold  of  the  people  of 
the  land,  of  every  one  according  to 
his  taxation,  to  give  it  unto  Pha- 
raoh-ne-choh. 

36  U ^ Je-hoi-a-kim  was  twenty  and 
five  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign ; and  he  reigned  eleven  years 
in  Je-ru-sMem.  And  his  mother’s 
name  was  Ze-buMah,  the  daughter 
of  Pe-da-iah  of  Eu-mah. 

37  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  according 
to  all  that  his  fathers  had  done. 

CHAPTER  24. 

1 JehoiaTdm,  first  subdued  by  Nebuchadnezzar,  then  rebel- 
ling against  him,  procureth  his  own  ruin.  8 Jehoiachin's 
evil  reign.  10  Jerusalem  is  taken  and  carried  captive 
into  Babylon.  17  Zedekiah  reigneth  ill  unto  the  utter 
destruction  of  Judah. 

IN  Mhis  days  Neb-u-ehad-n6z-zar 
king  of  Bab-y-l5n  came  up,  and 
Je-hoi-a-kim  became  his  servant 
three  years : then  he  turned  and 
rebelled  against  him. 

2  “And  the  Lord  sent  against  him 
bands  of  the  -Chal-dees,  and  bands 
of  the  _Syr-i-ans,  and  bands  of  the 
Mo-ab-ites,  and  bands  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am-m5n,  and  sent  them 
against  JuMah  to  destroy  it,  ^ac- 
cording to  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  spake  ^by  his  servants 
the  prophets. 

3  Surely  at  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  came  this  upon  Ju-dah,  to 
remove  them  out  of  his  sight,  “for 
the  sins  of  Ma-n^s-sSh,  according  to 
all  that  he  did ; 

4  "'And  also  for  the  innocent  blood 
that  he  shed  : for  he  filled  Je-ru-sa- 
lem  with  innocent  blood ; which  the 
Lord  would  not  pardon. 

5  H Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
JAhoi-a-kim,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book 
of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
Ju^dah? 

6  *So  Je-hoi-a-kim  slept  with  his 
fathers  : .and  JAhoi-a-chin  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead.  _ 

7  And/ the  king  of  E-gypt  came 
not  again  any  more  out  of  his  land : 
for  “the  king  of  Bab-y-lon  had 
taken  from  the  river  of  E^ypt 
unto  the  river  Eu-phra-tes  all  that 
pertained  to  the  king  of  E-gypt.

8 l^f  “ Je-hoi-a-«hin^  was  eighteen 
years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  in  Je-ru-sa-lem  three 
months.  And  his  mother’s  name 
was  _Ne-hush-taj  the^  daughter  of 
El-na-than  of  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

9 And  he  did  that  which  was  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  according 
to  all  that  his  father  had  done. 

10  1I_®At  that  time  the  servants  of 
Neb-u-chad-nez-zar  king  of  Bab-y- 
l5n  came  up  against  Je-ru-sa-lem, 
and  the  city  ^was  besieged. 

11  And  N6b-u-ehad-nez-zar  king 
of  Bab-y-lon  came  against  the  city, 
and  his  servants  did  besiege  it. 

12  ‘^And  JAhoi-a-chin  the  king  of 
Ju-dah  went  out  to  the  king  of

his  servants,  and  his  princes,  and 
his  ^officers : •''and  the  king  of  Bab- 
y-len  ^'took  him  ^in  the  eighth  year 
of  his  reign. 

13  *And  he  carried  out  thence  all 
the  treasures  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  treasures  of  the  king’s 
house,  and  *cut  in  pieces  all  the  ves- 
sels of  gold  which  S0l-o-m5n  king 
of  IshA-el  had  made  in  the  temple 
of  the  Lord,  ”as  the  Lord  had 
said. 

14  And  "he  carried  away  all  Je-ru-

the  mighty  men  of  valour,  ^even 
ten  thousand  captives,  and  ^ali  the 
craftsmen  and  smiths : none  re- 
mained, save  ®the  poorest  sort  of

mother,  and  the  king’s  wives,  and 
his  ® officers,  and  the  mighty  of  the

CHAPTEB  25. 

1 Jerusalem  is  besieged.  4 Zedekiah  taken,  his  sons  slain, 
and  his  eyes  put  out.  9 The  city  defaced.  18  The  nobles 
slain.  27  Jehoiachin  advanced. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  '’in  the 
XX  ninth  year  of  his  reign,  in  the 
tenth  month,  in  the_  tenth  day  of 
the  month,  that  Neb-u-chad-ngz-zar 
king  of  Bab-y-l5n  came,  he,  and  all 
his  host,  against  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  and 
pitched  against  it ; and  they  built 
torts  against  it  round  about. 

2 And  the  city  was  besieged  unto 
the  eleventh  year  of  king  Zed-6- 
ki-ah. 

3 And  on  the  ninth  day  of  the 
^fourth  month  the  famine  prevailed 
in  the  city,  and  there  was  no  bread 
for  the  people  of  the  land. 

4 H And  *the  city  was  broken  up, 
and  all  the  men  of  warded  by  night 
by  the  way  of  the  gate  between  two 
walls,  which  is  by  the  king’s  garden : 
(now  the  -Ghal-dees  were  against  the 
city  round  about :)  and  '”Hhe  king 
went  the  way  toward  the  plain. 

5 And  the  army  of  the  -Cbal-dees 
pursued  after  the  king,  and  over- 
took him  in  the  plains  of  J6r-i-eho : 
and  all  his  army  were  scattered 
from  him. 

6 So  they  took  the  king,  and 
brought  him  up  to  the  king  of 
Bab-y-l(3n  ^to  BibJah ; and  they 
^gave  judgment  upon  him. 

7 And  they  slew  the  sons  of  Z6d-6- 
ki-ffii  before  his  eyes,  and  “put®  out 
the  eyes  of  Zed-e-ki-ah,  and  bound 
bim  with  fetters  of  brass,  and  car- 
ried him  to  Bab-y-l(3n, 

8 H And  in  the  fifth  month,  *on  the 
seventh  day  of  the  month,  which  is 
^the  nineteenth  year  of  king  Neb- 
u-chad-nez-zar  king  of  Bab-y-l5n, 
“came  Neb-u-zar-a-dan,  ’captain  of 
the  guard,  a servant  of  the  king  of 
Bab-y-l(3n,  unto  J6-ru-sa-l6m : 

9 '’And  he  burnt  the  house  of  the 

Lord,  ‘'and  the  king’s  house,  and 
all  the  houses  of  Je-ru-sa-lSm,  and 
every  great  manHs  house  burnt  he 
with  fire.  .on 

10  And  all  the  army  of  the  -Ghai- 
dees,  that  were  with  the  captain  of 
the  guard,  '‘brake  down  tbe  walls 
of  Je-ru-sa-lSm  round  about. 

11  *Now  the  rest  of  the  people  that 
were  left  in  the  city,  and  the  f fugi- 
tives that  fell  away  to  the  king  of 
Bab-y-l5n,  with  the  remnant  of  the 
multitude,  did  N6bhi-zar-a-dan  the 
captain  of  the  guard  carry  away. 

12  But  the  captain  of  the  guard 
“deft  of  the  poor  of  the  land  to  be 
vinedressers  and  husbandmen. 


13  And  “the  * pillars  of  brass  that 
were  in  the  house  of  the  Loed,  and 
®the  bases,  and  "'the  brasen  sea  that 
was  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  did 
the  -Ghal-dees  break  in  pieces,  and 
carried  the  brass  of  them  to  Bab-y- 
l6n. 

14  And-^the  pots,  and  the  shovels, 
and  the  snuifers,  and  the  spoons,  and 
all  the  vessels  of  brass  wherewith 
they  ministered,  took  they  away. 

1 5 And  the  firepans,  and  the  bowls, 
and  such  things  as  were  oi  gold, 
in  gold,  and  of  silver,  in  silver,  the 
captain  of  the  guard  took  away. 

16  The  two  pillars,  ^one  sea,  and 
the  bases  which  S5l-6-m5n  had 
made  for  the  house  of  the  Lord  ; 
^the  brass  of  all  these  vessels  was 
without  weight. 

17  '"The  height  of  the  one  pillar 
was  eighteen  cubits,  and  the  chap- 
iter upon  it  was  brass  : and  the 
height  of  the  chapiter  three  cu- 
bits ; and  the  wreathen  work,  and 
pomegranates  upon  the  chapiter 
round  about,  all  of  brass : and  like 
unto  these  had  the  second  pillar 
with  wreathen  work. 

18  U *And  the  captain  of  the  guard 
took  *Se-ra-iah  the  chief  priest,  and 
”Z6ph-S,-ni-ah  the  second  priest,  and 
the  three  keepers  of  the  ^door : 

1 9 And  out  of  the  city  he  took  an 
‘officer  that  was  set  over  the  men 
of  war,  and  ^five  men  of  them  that 
®were  in  the  king’s  presence,  which 
were  found  in  the  city,  and  the 
‘principal  scribe  of  the  host,  which 
mustered  the  people  of  the  land, 
and  threescore  men  of  the  people 
of  the  land  that  were  found  in  the 
city : 

20  And  Neb-u-zar-a-dan  captain  of 
the  guard  took  these,  and  brought 
them  to  the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n  to 
Ribdah : 

21  And  the  king  of  Bab-^-l5n  smote 
them,  and  slew  them  at  Bibdah  in 
the  land  of  Ha-math.  *So  Ju-dah 
was  carried  away  out  of  their  land. 

22  11  'And  as  for  the  people  that 
remained  in  the  land  of  Ju-dah, 
whom  N6b-u-ehad-n6z-zar  king  of 
Bab-y-l5n  had  left,  even  over  them

he  made  Ged-a-li-ah  the  son  of  A-hi- 
kam,  the  son  of  Sha-phan,  ruler. 

23  And  when  all  the  ® captains  of 
the  armies,  they  and  their  men, 
heard  that  the  king  of  Bab-y-lOn 
had  made  Ged-a-li-ah  governor, 
there  came  to  Ged-a-li-ah  to  Miz- 
pah,  even  Ish-ma-el  the  son  of 
Neth-a-ni-ah,  and  J6-ha-nan  the 
son  of  -Ca-re-ah,  and  SAra-iah  the 
son  of  Tan-hu-meth  the  Ne-t5ph- 
a-thite,  and  Ja-az-a-ni-ah  the  son 
of  a Ma-aeh-a-thite,  they  and  their 
men. 

24  And  Ged-a-li-ah  sware  to  them, 
and  to  their  men,  and  said  unto 
them.  Fear  not  to  be  the  servants 
of  the  -Ohal-dees : dwell  in  the  land, 
and  serve  the  king  of  Bab-y-lon; 
and  it  shah  be  well  with  you. 

25  But  * it  came  to  pass  in  the 
seventh  month,  that  Ish-ma-el  the 
son  of  Neth-a-ni-ah,  the  son  of  E- 
lish-a-ma,  of  the  seed  ^royal,  came, 
and  ten  men  with  him,  and  smote 
G^-a-li-ah,  that  he  died,  and  the 
Je^s  and  the  -Ghal-dees  that  were 
with  him  at  Miz-pah. 

26  And  all  the  people,  both  small 
and  great,  and  the  captains  of  the 
armies,  arose,  and  came  to  E-gypt: 
for  they  were  afraid  of  the  Ghal- 
dees. 

27  U °And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
seven  and  thirtieth  year  of  the 
captivity  of  Je-hoi-a-chin  king  of 
Ju-dah,  in  the  twelfth  month,  on 
the  seven  and  twentieth  day  of 
the  month,  that  E-vil-mAro-daeh 
king  of  Bab-y-l5n  in  the  year  that 
he  began  to  reign  ^did  lift  up  the 
head  of  JAhoi-a-ehin  king  of  Ju- 
dah out  of  prison ; 

28  And  he  spake  "^kindly  to  him, 
and  set  his  throne  above  the  throne 
of  the  kings  that  were  with  him  in 
Bab-y-l6n ; 

29  And  changed  his  prison  gar- 
ments : and  he  did  ’'eat  bread  con- 
tinually before  him  all  the  days  of 
his  life. 

30  And  his  allowance  was  a con- 
tinual allowance  given  him  of  the 
king,  a daily  rate  for  every  day,  all 
the  days  of  his  life.

to  bear  buckler  and  sword,  and  to 
shoot  with  bow,  and  skilful  in  war, 
were  four  and  forty  thousand  seven 
hundred  and  threescore,  that  went 
out  to  the  war. 

19  And  they  made  war  with  the 
Ha%ar-Ites,  with  ®Je-tur,  and  Ne- 
phish,  and  No-dab. 

20  And  ‘^they  were  helped  against 
them,  and  the  Ha%ar-ites  were  de- 
livered into  their  hand,  and  all  that 
were  with  them : for  they  cried  to 
God  in  the  battle,  and  he  was  in- 
treated  of  them. ; because  they  ^put 
their  trust  in  him. 

21  And  they  Hook  away  their 
cattle ; of  their  camels  fifty  thou- 
sand, and  of  sheep  two  hundred 
and  fifty  thousand,  and  of  asses  two 
thousand,  and  of  ^men  an  hundred 
thousand. 

22  For  there  fell  down  many  slam, 
because  the  war  was  of  God.  And 
they  dwelt  in  their  steads  until  Hhe 
captivity. 

23  H And  the  children  of  the  half 
tribe  of  Ma-nas-s6h  dwelt  in  the 
land  : they  increased  from  Ba-shan 
unto  Ba-al-her-mon  and  Se-nir,  and

the  God  of  their  fathers,  and  went 
a ^whoring  after  the  gods  of  the 
people  of  the  land,  whom  God  de- 
stroyed before  them. 

26  And  the  God  of  IsHa-el  stirred 
up  the  spirit  of  ’‘Pul  king  of  As- 
syr-i-_a,  and  the  spirit  of  *Til-gath- 

Eil-ne-s6r  king  of  As-syr-i-a,  and

of  Jb-dujthtin,  and  Ber-e-chi-ah  the 
son  of  A-sa,  the  son  of  El-ka-nah, 
that  dwelt  in  the  villages  of  the 
N e-t5ph-a-thites. 

1 7 And  the  porters  were,  Shal-liim, 
and  Ak-kub,  and  Tal-mOn,  and  A- 
hl-man,  and  their  brethren : Shal- 
lum  was  the  chief ; 

18  Who  hitherto  waited  in  the 
king’s  gate  eastward : they  were 
porters  in  the  companies  of  the 
children  of  Le-vi. 

19  And  Shal-liim  the  son  of  Ko-re, 
the  son  of  E-bi-a-saph,  the  son  of 
Ko-rah,  and  his  brethren,  of  the 
house  of  his  father,  the  Koh’ah-ites, 
were  over  the  work  of  the  service, 
keepers  of  the  Agates  of  the  taber- 
nacle : and  their  fathers,  being  over 
the  host  of  the  Lord,  were  keepers 
of  the  entry. 

20  And  ®Phm-e-has  the  son  of 
E-lAa-zar  was  the  ruler  over  them 
in  time  past,  and  the  Lord  was 
with  him. 

21  And  Zeeh-a-ri-ah  the  son  of 
Me-shel-e-mi-ah  was  porter  of  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation. 

22  All  these  which  were  chosen  to 
be  porters  in  the  gates  were  two 
hundred  and  twelve.  These  were 
reckoned  by  their  genealogy  in 
their  villages,  whom  '"Da-vid  and 
Sam-u-el  *the  seer  ®did  ordain  in 
their  ^set  office. 

23  So  they  and  their  children  had 
the  oversight  of  the  gates  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  namely,  the 
house  of  the  tabernacle,  by  wards. 

24  In  four  quarters  were  the  por-

and  south. 

25  And  their  brethren,  which  were 
in  their  villages,  were  to  come  ^after 
seven  days  from  time  to  time  with 
them. 

26  For  these  LeWites,  the  four 
chief  porters,  were  in  their  ^set

priests  made  “the  ointment  of  the

33  And  these  are  ‘^the  singers,

who  remaining  in  the  chambers 
were  free:  for  '^they  were  employed 
in  that  work  day  and  night. 

34  These  chief  fathers  of  the  Le-

CHAPTER  10. 

1 Saul's  (yverthrow  and  death.  8 The  Philistines  triumph 
over  Saul.  11  The  kindness  of  Jabesh-gilead  towards 
Saul  and  his  sons.  13  Saul's  sin. 

"VTOW  Hhe  Phi-lis-tines  fought  a- 
gainst  I§-ra-el;  and  the  men  of 
Is-ra-6l  fled  from  before  the  Phi-lis- 
ti'nes,  and  fell  down  slain  in  mount 
Gil-bo-a. 

2 And  the  Phi-lis-tines  followed 
hard  after  Saul,  and  after  his  sons ; 
and  the  Phi-lis-tines  slew  JOn-a- 
than,  and  ^ A-bin-a-dab,  and  Mal- 
ehi-shu-a,  the  sons  of  Saul. 

3 And  the  battle  went  sore  against 
Saul,  and  the  ® archers  ’hit  him,  and 
he  was  wounded  of  the  archers. 

4 Then  said  Saul  to  his  armour- 
bearer,  Draw  thy  sword,  and  thrust 
me  through  therewith;  lest  these 
uncircumcised  come  and  ® abuse  me. 
But  his  armour  bearer  would  not ; 
for  he  was  sore  afraid.  So  Saul 
took  a sword,  and  fell  upon  it. 

5 And  when  his  armourbearer  saw 
that  Saul  was  dead,  he  fell  likewise 
on  the  sword,  and  died. 

6 So  Saul  died,  and  his  three  sons, 
and  all  his  house  died  together. 

7 And  when  all  the  men  of  Is-ra-el 
that  were  in  the  valley  saw  that 
they  fled,  and  that  Saul  and  his 
sons  were  dead,  then  they  forsook 
their  cities,  and  fled:  and  the  Phi- 
lis-tines  came  and  dwelt  in  them. 

8 II  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  when  the  Phi-lis-tines  came 
to  strip  the  slain,  that  they  found 
Saul  and  his  sons  fallen  in  mount 
Gil-bo-a. 

9 And  when  they  had  stripped 
him,  they  took  his  head,  and  his 
armour,  and  sent  into  the  land  of 
the  phi-lis-tines  round  about,  to 
carry  tidings  unto  their  idols,  and 
to  the  people. 

10  *And  they  put  his  armour  in 
the  house  of  their  gods,  and  fastened 
his  head  in  the  temple  of  Da%0n. 

11  H And  when  all  Ja-bfish-gil 
6-ad  heard  all  that  the  Phi-lis-tine§ 
had  done  to  Saul, 

12  They  arose,  all  the  valiant  men, 
and  took  away  the  body  of  Saul,  and 
the  bodies  of  his  sons,  and  brought 
them  to  Ja-b6sh,  and  buried  their 
bones  under  the  oak  in  Ja-b6sh,  and 
fasted  seven  days. 

13  II  So  Saul  died  for  his  trans 
gression  which  he  ’committed  a 
gainst  the  Lord,  ’"ei’eTz.  against  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  kept 
not,  and  also  for  asking  counsel  of 
one  that  had  a familiar  spirit,  ”to

therefore  he  slew  him^  and  “turned

of  ^Jes-se. 

CHAPTER  11. 

1 David  is  made  king  at  Hebron.  4 He  vrinneth  the  oustlt, 
of  Zion  from  the  Jebusites  by  Joab's  valour.  10  A catov 
logue  of  David’s  mighty  men. 

Then  ‘^all  Is-ra-Sl  gathered  them^ 
selves  to  I)a-vid  unto  He-brSn, 
saying.  Behold,  we  are  thy  bone 
and  thy  flesh. 

2 And  moreover  “in  time  past, 
even  when  Saul  was  king,  thou  wast 
he  that  leddest  out  and  broughtest 
in  Is-ra-6l : and  the  Lord  thy  God 
said'  unto  thee.  Thou  shalt  ‘^feed’’ 
my  people  Ish'a-el,  and  thou  shalt 
be  ruler  over  my  people  Ish4-el. 

3 Therefore  came  all  the  elders  of 
lsh-a-6l  to  the  king  to  He-br6n;  and 
Da-vid  made  a covenant  with  them 
in  He-br5n  before  the  Lord  ; and 
®they  anointed  Da-vid  king  over 
Is-ra-el,  according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord  ^by  -^Sam-u-el. 

4 H And  Da-vid  and  all  Is^ra-el 
^went  to  Je-ru-sa-lem,  which  is  Je- 
bus;  ^ where  the  Jeb-u-sites  were, 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land. 

5 And  the  inhabitants  of  Je-biis 
said  to  Da-vid,  Thou  shalt  not  come 
hither.  Nevertheless  Da-vid^  took 
the  castle  of  Zi-5n,  which  is  the 
city  of  Da-vid. 

6 And  Da-vid  said.  Whosoever 
smite th  the  Jebhi-sites  first  shall 
be  ’chief  and  captain.  So  Jo-ab 
the  son  of  Ze-ru-iah  went  first  up, 
and  was  chief. 

7 And  DaWid  dwelt  in  the  castle ; 
therefore  they  called  ‘-^it  the  city  of 
Da-vid. 

8 And  he  built  the  city  round 
about,  even  from  Mil-16  round  a- 
bout:  and  Jo-ab  ^repaired  the  rest 
of  the  city. 

9 So  DaWid  ^waxed  greater  and 
greater : for  the  Lord  of  hosts  was 
with  him. 

10  ^ * These  also  are  the  chief  of 
the  mighty  men  whom  DaWid  had, 
who  “strengthened  themselves  with 
bim  in  his  kingdom,  and  with  all 
Is-ra-6l,  to  make  him  king,  accord- 
ing to  ^the  word  of  the  Lord  con- 
cerning Is-ra-6l. 

1 1 And  this  is  the  number  of  the 
mighty  men  whom  Da-vid  had ; J a- 
sho-b6-am,  ‘^an  Haeh-mo-iiite,  the 
chief  of  the  captains : he  lifted  up 
bis  spear  against  three  hundred 
slain  by  him  at  one  time.  _ 

12  And  after  him  ivas  E-16-a-zar 
the  son  of  Do-do,  the  A-hodiite, 
who  was  one  of  the  three  mighties. 
13  He  was  with  Da-vid  at  “Pas-

dam-mim,  and  there  the  Phi-lis-tines 
were  gathered  together  to  battle, 
where  was  a parcel  of  ground  full 
of  barley ; and  the  people  fled  from 
before  the  Phi-lis-tines. 

14  And  they  ^set  themselves  in  the 
midst  of  thxit  parcel,  and  delivered 
it,  and  slew  the  Phi-lis-tines ; and 
the  Lord  saved  them  by  a great 
® deliverance. 

15  U Now  three  of  the  thirty  cap- 
tains *went  down  to  the  rock  to 
Da-vid,  into  the  cave  of  A-dul-lam ; 
and  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis-tines  en- 
camped ®in  the  valley  of  Rgph-a-im. 

16  And  Da-vid  ivas  then  in  the 
hold,  and  the  Phi-lis-tines’  garrison 
was  then  at  Beth -le-hem. 

17  And  Da-vid  longed,  and  said. 
Oh  that  one  would  give  me  drink 
of  the  water  of  the  well  of  Beth'- 
l6-hem,  that  is  at  the  gate ! 

18  And  the  three  brake  through 
the  host  of  the  Phi-lis-tines,  and 
drew  water  out  of  the  well  of 
Beth'-le-hem,  that  was  by  the  gate, 
and  took  it,  and  brought  it  to  Da- 
vid : but  Da-vid  would  not  drink 
of  it,  but  poured  it  out  to  the  Lord, 

1 9 And  said.  My  God  forbid  it  me, 
that  I should  do  this  thing  : shall  1 
drink  the  blood  of  these  men  ^that 
have  put  their  lives  in  jeopardy  1 
for  with  the  jeopardy  of  their  lives 
they  brought  it.  Therefore  he 
would  not  drink  it.  These  things 
did  these  three  mightiest. 

20  II  And  A-bi-shai  the  brother  of 
Jo-ab,  he  was  chief  of  the  three : for 
lifting  up  his  spear  against  three 
hundred,  he  slew  them,  and  had  a 
name  among  the  three. 

21  ®Of  the  three,  he  was  more  hon- 
ourable than  the  two ; for  he  was 
their  captain : howbeit  he  attained 
not  to  the  three. 

22  Be-na-iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi-a-da, 
the  son  of  a valiant  man  of  Kab- 
ze-6l,  ^who  had  done  many  acts ; 
■'"he  slew  two  lionlike  men  of  Mo-ab : 
also  he  went  down  and  slew  a lion 
in  a pit  in  a snowy  day. 

23  And  he  slew  an  E-gyp-tian,  ^a 
man  of  great  stature,  five  cubits 
high  ; and  in  the  E-gyp-tian’s  hand 
was  a spear  like  a weaver’s  beam ; 
and  he  went  down  to  him  with  a 
stafl;  and  plucked  the  spear  out  of 
the  E-gyp-tian’s  hand,  and  slew  him 
with  his  own  spear. 

24  These  things  did  Be-na-iah  the 
son  of  Je-hoi-a-da,  and  had  the 
name  among  the  three  mighties. 

25  Behold,  he  was  honourable  a- 
mong  the  thirty,  but  attained  not 
to  the  first  three : and  Da-vid  set 
him  over  his  guard.

8 And  of  the  Gadhtes  there  sepa- 
rated themselves  unto  Da-vid  into 
the  hold  to  the  wilderness  men  of 
might,  and  men  ^of  war  fit  iov  the 
battle,  that  could  handle  shield  and 
buckler,  whose  faces  were  like  the 
faces  of  lions,  and  were  ®as^  swift  as 
the  roes  upon  the  mountains  ;

14  These  were  of  the  sons  of  Gad, 
captains  of  the  host : ®one  of  the 
least  was  over  an  hundred,  and  the 
greatest  over  a thousand. 

i 5 These  are  they  that  went  over 
J or-dan  in  the  first  month,  when  it 
had  ^overflown  all  his  ^ banks  ; and 
they  put  to  flight  all  them  of  the 
valleys,  both  toward  the  east,  and 
toward  the  west. 

16  And  there  came  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ben-ja-min  and  Ju-dah  to 
the  hold  unto  DaWid. 

17  And  Da-vid  went  out  ^to  meet 
them,  and  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  If  ye  be  come  peaceably  unto 
me  to  help  me,  mine  heart  shall  ®be 
knit  unto  you : but  if  ye  he  come  to 
betray  me  to  mine  enemies,  seeing 
there  is  no  wrong  in  mine  hands, 
the  God  of  our  fathers  look  thereon, 
and  rebuke  it. 

18  Then  ®the  spirit  came  upon 
’^Am-a-sai,  who  was  chief  of  the 
captains,  and  he  said.  Thine  are  we, 
DAvid,  and  on  thy  side,  thou  son 
of  J6s-s6 : peace,  peace  he  unto  thee.

received  them,  and  made  them  cap-

1 9 And  there  fell  some  of  Ma-nas- 
seh  to  Da-vid,  *^when  he  came  with 
the  Phi-lis-tines  against  Saul  to 
battle : but  they  helped  them  not : 
for  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
upon  advisement  sent  iiim  away, 
saying,  ‘'He  will  fall  to  his  master

all  mighty  men  of  valour,  and  were 
captains  in  the  host. 

22  For  at  that  time  day  by  day 
there  came  to  DAvid  to  help  him, 
until  it  was  a great  host,  like  the 
host  of  God. 

23  ^ And  these  are  the  numbers

which  could  ^keep  rank : they  were

36  And  of  Ash-er,  such  as  went

Ma-nas-seh,  with  all  manner  of  in-

hundred  and  twenty  thousand. 

38  All  these  men  of  war,  that  could 
keep  rank,  came  with  a ^rfect  heart 
to  He-br5n,  to  make  Da-vid  king 
over  all  Is-ra-el : and  all  the  rest 
also  of  Is-ra-el  were  of  one  heart 
to  make  l)a-vid  king. 

39  And  there  they  were  with  Da- 
vid three  days,  eating  and  drinking : 
for  their  brethren  had  prepared  for 
them. 

40  Moreover  they  that  were  nigh 
them,  even  unto  Is-sa-char  and  Z^- 
u-liin  and  Naph-ta-li,  brought  bread 
on  asses,  and  on  camels,  and  on 
mules,  and  on  oxen,  and  ^meat, 
meal,  cakes  of  figs,  and  bunches  of 
raisins,  and  wine,  and  oil,  and  oxen, 
and  sheep  abundantly : for  there  was 
joy  in  Is-ra-el. 

CHAPTER  13. 

1 David  fetcheth  the  ark  viith  great  solemnity  from  Kirjath- 
jearim.  9 Vzza  being  smitten,  the  ark  is  left  at  the  house 
of  Obed-edom. 

And  Da-vid  consulted  with  the 
captains  of  thousands  and  hun- 
dreds, and  with  every  leader. 

2  And  Da-vid  said  unto  all  the 
congregation  of  Is-ra-el,  If  it  seem 

food  unto  you,  and  that  it  be  of  the 
iORD  our  God,  ^let  us  send  abroad 
unto  our  brethren  every  where, 
that  are  "‘left  in  all  the  land  of  Is- 
ra-6l,  and  with  them  also  to  the 
priests  and  Le-vites  which  are  ^in 
their  cities  and  suburbs,  that  they 
may  gather  themselves  unto  us : 

3  And  let  us  ^briiig  again  the  ark 
of  our  God  to  us:  ”for  we  enquired 
not  at  it  in  the  days  of  Saul. 

4  And  all  the  congregation  said 
that  they  would  do  so:  for  the 
thing  was  right  in  the  eyes  of  all 
the  people.

ev’en  unto  the  entering  of  He-math, 
to  bring  the  ark  of  God  “from  Kir- 
jath-je-a-rim. 

6 And  Da-vid  went  up,  and  all  Is- 
ra-el,  to  *Ba-al-ah,  that  is,  to  Kir- 
jath-je-a-rim,  which  belonged  to 
Ju-dah,  to  bring  up  thence  the  ark 
of  God  the  Lori),  ‘'that  dwelleth  be- 
tween the  cher-fi-bims,  whose  name 
is  called  on  it. 

7 And  they  ^carried  the  ark  of  God 
‘^in  a new  cart  ®out  of  the  house  of 
A-bin-a-dab  : and  tTz-za  and  A-hi-6 
drave  the  cart. 

8 -^And  Da-vid  and  all  Is-ra-el 
played  before  God  with  all  their 
might,  and  with  ® singing,  and  with 
harps,  and  with  psalteries,  and  with 
timbrels,  and  with  cymbals,  and 
with  trumpets. 

9 H And  when  they  came  unto  the 
threshingfloor  of  ’-Ghi-dSn,  TTz-za 
put  forth  his  hand  to  hold  the  ark  ; 
for  the  oxen  ^stumbled. 

10  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was 
kindled  against  tJz-za,  and  he  smote 
him,  because  he  put  his  hand  to 
the  ark:  and  there  he  '"died  before 
God. 

1 1 And  Da  Aid  was  displeased,  be- 
cause the  Lord  had  made  a breach 
upon  tlz-za:  wherefore  that  place  is 
called  ^PeAez-iiz-za  to  this  day. 

12  And  DaAid  was  afraid  of  God 
that  day,  saying.  How  shall  I bring 
the  ark  of  God  home  to  me  % 

13  So  Da  Aid  ^brought  not  the  ark 
home  to  himself  to  the  city  of  Da- 
vid, but  carried  it  aside  into  the 
house  of  0-bed-e-d6m  the  Git-tite. 

14  *And  the  ark  of  God  remained 
with  the  family  of  OA6d-e-d0m  in 
his  house  three  months.  And  the 
Lord  blessed  *the  house  of  O-bed- 
e-dom,  and  all  that  he  had.

2 And  DaAid  perceived  that  the 
Lord  had  confirmed  him  king  over 
IsAa-el,  for  his  kingdom  was  lifted 
up  on  nigh,  because  of  his  people

heard  that  “Da-vid  was  anointed 
king  over  all  Is-ra-6l,  all  the_  Phi- 
hs-tines  went  up  to  seek  Da-vid. 
And  Dk-vid  heard  of  it,  and  went 
out  against  them. 

9 And  the  Phi-lis-tines  came  and 
spread  themselves  ® in  the  valley  of 
Reph-a-im. 

10  And  Da^d  enquired  of  God, 
saying,  Shall  I go  up  against  the 
Phi-lis-tines  % and  wilt  thou  deliver 
them  into  mine  hand*?  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  him.  Go  up ; for  I 
will  deliver  them  into  thine  hand. 

1 1 So  they  came  up  to  Ba-al-p6r- 
a-zim ; and  Da-vid  smote  them  there. 
Then  Da-vid  said,  God  hath  broken 
in  upon  mine  enemies  by  mine  hand 
like  the  breaking  forth  of  waters : 
therefore  they  called  the  name  of 
that  place  ^ Ba-al-per-a-zim. 

12  And  when  they  had  left  their 
gods  there,  Da-vid  gave  a com- 
mandment, and  they  were  burned 
with  fire.

spread  themselves  abroad  in  the

14  Therefore  Da-vid  enquired  again 
of  God ; and  God  said  unto  him.  Go 
not  up  after  them ; turn  away  from 
them,  '"and  come  upon  them  over 
against  the  mulberry  trees. 

15  And  it  shall  be,  when  thou 
shalt  hear  a sound  of  going  in  the 
tops  of  the  mulberry  trees,  that 
then  thou  shalt  go  out  to  battle: 
for  God  is  gone  forth  before  thee  to 
smite  the  host  of  the  Phidis-tines. 

16  Da-vid  therefore  did  as  God 
commanded  him : and  they  smote 
the  host  of  the  Phi-lis-tines  from 
*'Gib-6-5n  even  to  Ga-zer. 

17  And  Rhe  fame  of  Da-vid  went 
out  into  all  lands ; and  the  Lord 
""brought  the  fear  of  him  upon  all 
nations.

1 David,  having  prepared  a place  for  the  ark,  ordcreth  the 
priests  and  Lcvites  to  bring  it  from  Obed-edom.  25  He 
performeth  the  solemnity  thereof  with  great  joy.  29 
Miehal  despiseth  him. 

AND  Da-vid  made  him  houses  in 
XI.  the  city  of  Da  Aid,  and  pre- 
Iiared  a place  for  the  ark  of  God, 
«and  pitched  for  it  a tent. 

2 Then  DaAid  said.  ‘‘None  ought 
to  carry  the  ’’ark  or  God  but  the 
LeAites : for  them  hath  the  Lord 
chosen  to  carry  the  ark  of  God,  and 
to  minister  unto  him  for  ever.

together  to  Je-ruAa-lem,  to  bring  up 
the  ark  of  the  Lord  unto  his  place, 
which  he  had  prepared  for  it. 

4 And  DaAid  assembled  the  chil- 
dren of  Aar-Qn,  and  the  LeAites  : 

5 Of  the  sons  of  Ko-hfi.th ; U-ri-el 
the  chief,  and  his  ^brethren  an 
hundred  and  twenty: 

6 Of  the  sons  of  MAra-rl;  A-sa- 
iah  the  chief,  and  his  brethren  two 
hundred  and  twenty : 

7 Of  the  sons  of  GerAhdm;  Jo-el 
the  chief,  and  his  brethren  an  hun- 
dred and  thirty : 

8 Of  the  sons  of  ® E-liz-a-phan ; 
ShC-ma-iah  the  chief,  and  his  breth- 
ren two  hundred : 

9 Of  the  sons  of  ‘^He-br5n  ; E-h-el 
the  chief,  and  his  brethren  fourscore: 

10  Of  the  sons  of  Dz-zi-el;  Am- 
min-a-dab  the  chief,  and  his  breth- 
ren an  hundred  and  twelve. 

11  And  DaAid  called  for  Za-d5k 
and  A-bi-a-thar  the  priests,  and  for 
the  LeAites,  for  U-ri-6l,  A-sa-iah, 
and  JoAl,  ShC-ma-iah,  and  E-li-6l, 
and  Am-min-a-dab, 

12  And  said  unto  them.  Ye  are 
the  chief  of  the  fathers  of  the  Le' 
vites : sanctify  yourselves,  both  ye 
and  your  brethren,  that  ye  may 
bring  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord  God 
of  IsAa-6l  unto  the  place  that  I have 
prepared  for  it. 

13  For  •''because  ye  did  it  not  at 
the  first,  "the  Lord  our  God  made  a 
breach  upon  us,  for  that  we  sought 
him  not  after  the  due  order. 

14  So  the  priests  and  the  Le-vites 
sanctified  tnemselves  to  bring  up 
the  ark  of  the  Lord  God  of  IsAa-el. 

15  And  the  children  of  the  Le- 
vites  bare  the  ark  of  God  upon 
their  shoulders  with  the  staves 
thereon,  as  ^MoAes  commanded  ac- 
cording to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

1 6 And  Da  Aid  spake  to  the  chief 
of  the  Le-vites  to  appoint  their 
brethren  to  he  the_  singers  with 
instruments  of  musick,  psalteries 
and  harps  and  cymbals,  sounding, 
by  lifting  m)  the  voice  with  jo.y. 

17  So  the  LeAites  appointed  "He- 
man  the  son  of  JoAl ; and  of  his 
brethren,  ‘'AAaph  the  son  of  B6r-6- 
chiAh ; and  of  the  sons  of  Me-raAi 
their  brethren,  ^EAhan  the  son  of 
Ktish-a-iah  ^ 

18  And  with  them  their  brethren 
of  the  second  degree,  Z6ch-a-riAh,

26  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  God 
helped  the  LeMites  that  bare  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Loed, 
that  they  offered  seven  bullocks 
and  seven  rams. 

27  And  DaMid  was  clothed  with

ra-el,  both  man  and  woman,  to  every 
one  a loaf  of  bread,  and  a good  piece 
of  flesh,  and  a flagon  of  wine. 

4 U And  he  appointed  certain  of 
the  LeMites  to  minister  before  the 
ark  of  the  Loed,  and  to  h^ecord,  and 
to  thank  and  praise  the  Loed  God

before  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of

7 U Then  on  that  day  DaMid  de- 
livered ‘'first  this  psalm  to  thank 
the  Loed  into  the  hand  of  A-saph

the  heart  of  them  rejoice  that  seek 
the  Loed.

seek  his  face  continually. 

1 2 Remember  his  marvellous  works 
that  he  hath  done,  his  wonders,  and 
the  judgments  of  his  mouth  ; 

1 3 O ye  seed  of  Is_hA-6l  his  servant, 
ye  children  of  JaMbb,  his  chosen 
ones. 

14  He  is  the  Loed  our  God ; his

made  with  AMra-ham,  and  of  his

dwell  in  an  house  of  cedars,  but  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  re- 
maineth  under  curtains.

Do  all  that  is  in  thine  heart;  for 
God  is  with  thee.

night,  that  the  word  of  God  came 
to  Na-than,  saying, 

4 Go  and  tell  Da-vid  my  servant. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Thou  shalt 
not  build  me  an  house  to  dwell  in  : 

5 For  I have  not  dwelt  in  an  house 
since  the  dajr  that  I brought  up  Is- 
ra-el  unto  this  day ; but  ^have  gone 
from  tent  to  tent,  and  from  one 
tabernacle  to  another. 

6 Wheresoever  1 have  walked  with 
all  Ish4-el,  spake  I a word  to  any  of 
the  judges  of  Ish’a-el,  whom  I com- 
manded to  feed  my  people,  saying, 
Why  have  ye  not  built  me  an  house 
of  cedars  1 

7 Now  therefore  thus  shalt  thou 
say  unto  my  servant  DaWid,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I took  thee 
from  the  sheepcote,  even  ^from  fol- 
lowing the  sheep,  that  thou  should- 
est  be  ruler  over  my  people  l§-ra-el: 

8 And  I have  been  with  thee 
whithersoever  thou  hast  walked, 
and  have  cut  off  all  thine  enemies 
from  before  thee,  and  have  made 
thee  a name  like  the  name  of  the 
great  men  that  are  in  the  earth. 

9 Also  I will  ordain  a place  for  my 
people  Is-ra-6l,  and  will  plant  them, 
and  they  shall  dwell  in  their  place, 
and  shall  be  moved  no  more;  nei- 
ther shall  the  children  of  wicked- 
ness waste  them  any  more,  as  at 
the  beginning.

10  And  since  the  time  that  I com- 
manded judges  to  be  over  my  people

thine  enemies.  Furthermore  I tell 
thee  that  the  Lord  will  build  thee 
an  house. 

11  U And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  thy  days  be  expired  that  thou 
must  go  to  be  with  thy  fathers,  that 
I will  raise  up  thy  seed  after  thee, 
which  shall  be  of  thy  sons ; and  I 
will  establish  his  kingdom. 

12  He  shall  build  me  an  house, 
and  I will  stablish  his  throne  for

13  “I. will  be  his  father,  and  he 
shall  be  my  son : and  I will  not  take 
my  mercy  away  from  him,  as  I took 
it  from  him  that  was  before  thee : 

14  But  will  settle  him  in  mine 
house  and  in  my  kingdom  for  ever : 
and  his  throne  shall  be  established 
for  evermore. 

15  According  to  all  these  words, 
and  according  to  all  this  vision,  so 
did  Nathan  pieak  unto  Da-vid. 

16  II  '=And  Da-vid  the  king  came 
and  sat  before  the  Lord,  and  said. 
Who  am  I,  O Lord  God,  and  what 
is  mine  house,  that  thou  hast 
brought  me  hitherto'? 

1 7 And  yet  this  was  a small  thing 
in  thine  eyes,  O God ; for  thou  hast 
also  spoken  of  thy  servant’s  house 
for  a great  while  to  come,  and  hast 
regarded  me  according  to  the  estate 
of  a man  of  high  degree,  O Lord 
God. 

18  What  can  DaWid  speak  more  to 
thee  for  the  honour  of  thy  servant  % 
for  thou  knowest  thy  servant. 

19  0 Lord,  for  thy  servant’s  sake, 
and  according  to  thine  own  heart, 
hast  thou  done  all  this  greatness, 
in  making  known  all  these  ^ great 
things. 

20  0 Lord,  there  is  none  like  thee, 
neither  is  there  any  God  beside 
thee,  according  to  all  that  we  have 
heard  with  our  ears. 

21  And  what  one  nation  in  the 

earth  is  like  thy  people  Is-ra-el, 
whom  God  went  to  redeem  to  be  his 
own  people,  to  make  thee  a name 
of  greatness  and  terribleness,  by 
driving  out  nations  from  before  thy 
people,  whom  thou  hast  redeemed 
out  of  E-gypt'?  ^ 1 

22  For  thy  jDeople  Is-ra-el  didst 
thou  make  thine  own  people  for 
ever ; and  thou.  Lord,  becamest 
their  God. 

23  Therefore  now.  Lord,  let  the 
thing  that  thou  hast  spoken  con- 
cerning thy  servant  and  concerning 
his  house  be  established  for  ever, 
and  do  as  thou  hast  said.

CHAPTER  18. 

1 David  subdueth  the  Philistines  and  the  Moabites.  3 He 
smiteth  Hadarezer  and  the  Syrians.  9 Tou  sendcth 
presents  to  David.  11  The  presents  and  the  spoil  David 
dedicateth  to  God.  13  Be  putteth  garrisons  in  Edom. 
14  David's  officers. 

^OW  after  this  ‘^it  came  to  pass. 

that  Da-vid  smote  the  Phi-lis- 
tines,  and  subdued  them,  and  took 
Gath  and  her  towns  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  Phi-lis-tines. 

2 And  he  smote  Mo-ab ; and  the 
Mo-ab-ites  became  Da-vid’s  serv- 
ants, and  brought  gifts. 

3 IT  And  Da-vid  smote  ^ Had-ar-e- 
zer  king  of  Zo-bah  unto  Ha-math, 
as  he  went  to  stablish  his  dominion 
by  the  river  Eu-phra-tes. 

4 And  DaWid  took  from  him  a 
thousand  chariots,  and  ® seven  thou- 
sand horsemen,  and  twenty  thou- 
sand footmen : Da-vid  also  houghed 
all  the  chariot  horses,  but  reserved 
of  them  an  hundred  chariots. 

5 And  when  the  Syr4-ans  of  ®Da- 
mas-Bus  came  to  help  Had-ar-e-zer 
king  of  Zo-bah,  DaWid  slew  of  the 
Syr4-ans  two  and  twenty  thousand 


men. 

6 Then  Da-vid  put  garrisons  m 

Syr^-a-da-mas^Bus ; and  the  Syr-i- 
ans  became  Da-vid’s  servants,  and^ 
brought  gifts.  Thus  the  Lord  pre- 
served Da-vid  whithersoever  he 
went.  , . I , 

7 And  DaWid  took  the  shields  of 

gold  that  were  on  the  servants  of 
Had-ar-e-zer,  and  brought  them  to 
Je-ru-sa-l6m.  , „ , , 

8 Likewise  from  ®Tib-hath,  and 
from  -Chun^  cities  of  HM-ar;^-zer, 
brought  Da-vid  very  much  brass, 
wherewith  •''S5l-5-m5n  made  the 
brasen  sea,  and  the  pillars,  and  the 
vessels  of  brass. 

9 ^ Now  when  ’To-u  king  of  Ha- 
math heard  how  Da-vid  had  smitten

all  the  host  of  Had-ar-e-zer  king  of 

Zo-bah;  -tt  i i. 

10  He  sent  ^ Ha-do-ram  his  son  to 
king  Da-vid,  ^to  enquire  of  his  wel- 
fare, and  Ho  congratulate  hinn  be- 
cause he  had  fought  against  Had- 
ar-e-zer,  and  smitten  him;  (for 
Had-ar-eHer  ^had  war  with  To-u ;) 
and  with  him  all  manner  of  vessels 
of  gold  and  silver  and  brass. 

1 1 11  Them  also  king  Da-vid  dedi- 
cated unto  the  Lord,  with  the  silver 
and  the  gold  that  he  brought  froru 
all  these  nations ; from  E-d5m,  and 
from  Mo-ab,  and  from  the  children 
of  Am-m5n.  and  from  the  Phi-lis- 
tines,  and  irom  Am-a-l6k. 

12  Moreover  ‘^A-bi-shai  the  son  or 
Ze-rudah  slew  of  the  E-d5m-ites 
in  the  Valley  of  salt  Eighteen  thou- 
sand. 

13  U ‘’And  he  put  garrisons  in 

E-d5m ; and  all  the  E-dOm-ites  be- 
came DaVid’s  servants.  Thus  the 
Lord  preserved  DaVid  whitherso- 
ever he  went.  ^ 

14  H So  DaWid  reigned  overall  Is- 
ra-6l,  and  executed  judgment  and 
justice  among  all  his  people. 

’ 15  And  Jo-ab  the  son  of  ZAru-iah 
was  over  the  host ; and  J e-h6sh-a- 
phat  the  son  of  A-hidtid,  ’recorder. 

16  And  Za-d5k  the  son  of  A-hiHtib, 
and  ®A-bim-6-lech  the  son  of  A-bi^ 
a-thar,  were  the.  priests  ; and^Shav- 
sha  was  scribe ; 

17  ‘^And  BAna-iah  the  son  of  Je- 
hoi-a-da  was  over  the  Cher-6-thites 
and  the  P6l-6-thites  ; and  the  sons  of 
DaVid  were  chief  ^about  the  king. 

CHAPTER  19. 

1 David's  messengers,  sent  to  comfort  Hanun,  are  villain- 
&usly  entreated.  6 The  Ammonites,  strengthened  by  the 
Syrians,  are  overcome  by  Joab  and  Abishai.  16  Shophach 
is  slain  by  David. 

"VTOW  Ht  came  to  pass  after  this, 
that  Na-hash  the  king  of  the 
children  of  Am-mQn  died,  and  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

2 And  DaVid  said,  I will  shew 
kindness  unto  Ha-nun  the  son  of 
Na-hash,  because  his  father  shewed 
kindness  to  me.  And  DaVid  sent 
messengers  to  comfort  him  con- 
cerning his  father.  So  the  servants 
of  DaVid  came  into  the  land  of  the 
children  of  Am-m5n  to  Ha-ntin,  to 
comfort  him. 

3 But  the  princes  of  the  children 
of  Am-mOn  said  to  Ha-nun,  ^Think- 
est  thou  that  DaVid  doth  honour 
thy  father,  that  he  hath  sent  com 
forters  unto  thee  1 are  not  his  serv-

servants,  and  shaved  them,  and  cut 
off  their  garments  in  the  midst 
hard  by  their  buttocks,  and  sent 
them  away. 

5 Then  there  went  certain,  and 
told  DAvid  how  the  men  were 
served.  And  he  sent  to  meet  them : 
for  the  men  were  greatly  ashamed 
And  the  king  said,  Tarrv  at  J 6r4- 
cho  until  your  beards  be  grown, 
and  then  return. 

6 If  And  when  the  children  of  Am^ 
m5n  saw  that  they  had  made  them- 
selves ^odious  to  DAvid,  Ha-nun 
and  the  children  of  Am-mbn  sent  a 
thousand  talents  of  silver  to  hire 
them  chariots  and  horsemen  out  of 
Mes-5-p6-tAmi-a,  and  out  of  Syr4-a- 
mAa-chah,  “and  out  of  Zo-bMi. 

7 So  they  hired  thirty  and  two 
thousand  chariots,  and  the  king  of 
Ma-a-chah  and  his  people  ; who 
came  and  pitched  before  M6d-6-ba. 
And  the  children  of  Am-mhn  gath- 
ered themselves  together  from  their 
cities,  and  came  to  battle. 

8 And  when  D Avid  heard  of  it,  he 
sent  Jo-ab,  and  all  the  host  of  the 
mighty  men. 

9 And  the  children  of  Am-m5n 
came  out,  and  put  the  battle  in 
array  before  the  gate  of  the  city : 
and  the  kings  that  were  come  ivere 
by  themselves  in  the  field. 

10  Now  when  Jo^b  saw  that  Hhe 
battle  was  set  against  him  before 
and  behind,  he  chose  out  of  all  the 
‘Hhoice  of  IsHAel,  and  put  them  in 
array  against  the  Syr-i-ans. 

11  And  the  rest  of  the  people  he 
delivered  unto  the  hand  of  ^A-bi- 
shA  his  brother,  and  they  them- 
selves in  array  against  the  children 
of  Am-m5n. 

12  And  he  said.  If  the  Syr-i-ans  be 
too  strong  for  me,  then  thou  shalt 
help  me  : but  if  the  children  of 
Am-mbn  be  too  strong  for  thee, 
then  I will  help  thee. 

13  Be  of  good  courage,  and  let  us 
behave  ourselves  valiantly  for  out 

geople,  and  for  the  cities  of  oui 
[od:  and  let  the  Lord  do  that 
which  good  in  his  sight. 

14  So  JC-ab  and  the  people  that 
were  with  him  drew  nigh  before 
the  Syr-i-ans  unto  the  battle ; and 
they  fled  before  him. 

15  And  when  the  children  of  Am- 
m5n  saw  that  the  Syr-i-ans  were 
fled,  they  likewise  fled  before  A-bi- 
shA  his  brother,  and  entered  into 
the  city.  Then  Jo-ab  came  to  Je- 
ru-sa-l6m. 

16  H And  when  the  Syr-i-ans  saw 
that  they  were  put  to  the  worse 
before  IsVa-6l,  they  sent  messen-

gers,  and  drew  forth  the  Syr4-ans 
that  were  beyond  the  ^ river : and 
^Sho-phaeh  the  captain  of  the  host 
of  Had-ar-e-zer  went  before  them. 

1 7 And  it  was  told  Da-vid ; and 
he  gathered  all  Is-ra-el,  and  passed 
over  Jor-dan,  and  came  upon  them, 
and  set  the  battle  in_  array  against 
them.  So  when  Da-vid  had  put 
the  battle  in  array  against  the  Syr- 
i-an^  they  fought  with  him. 

18  But  the  S_yr-i-ans  fled  before  Is- 
ra-el  ; and  Da-vid  slew  of  the  Syr- 
i-ans  seven  thousand  men  which 
fought  in  chariots,  and  forty  thou- 
sand footmen,  and  killed  Sho-phaeh 
the  captain  of  the  host. 

1 9 And  when  the  servants  of  Had- 
ar-e-zer  saw  that  they  were  put  to 
the  worse  before  Is-ra-el,  they  made 
peace  with  DaAid,  and  became  his 
servants : neither  would  the  Syri- 
ans help  the  childi’en  of  Am-m6n 
any  more. 

CHAPTER  20. 

I Rabhah  is  besieged  by  Joab,  spoiled  by  David,  and  the 

people  thereof  tortured.  4 Three  giants  are  slain  in  three 

several  overthrows  of  the  Philistines. 

AND  ‘'it  came  to  pass,  that  ®after 
the  year  was  expired,  at  the 
time  that  kings  go  out  to  battle, 
Jo-ab  led  forth  the  power  of  the 
army,  and  wasted  the  country  of 
the  children  of  Am-m6n,  and  came 
and  besieged  Rab-bah.  Rut  Da^vid 
tarried  at  JAru-sa-lem.  And  “^Jo-ab 
smote  Rab^bah,  and  destroyed  it. 

2 And  Da-vid  ®took  the  crown  of 
their  king  from  off  his  head,  and 
found  it  ’to  weigh  a talent  of  gold, 
and  there  were  precious  stones  in 
it;  and  it  was  set  upon  Da-vid’s 
head  : and  he  brought  also  exceed- 
ing much  spoil  out  of  the  city. 

3 And  he  brought  out  the  people 
that  were  in  it,  and  cut  them  with 
saws,  and  with  harrows  of  iron^and 
with  axes.  Even  so  dealt  DaAid 
with  all  the  cities  of  the  children 
of  Am-mbn.  And  Da-vid  and  all 
the  people  returned  to  Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

4 ^ And  it  came  to  pass  after  this, 
^that  there  arose  war  at  ^Ge-zer 
with  the  Phi-lis-tines  ; at  which 
time  *Sib-be-chai  the  Hu-shath-ite 
slew  ^Sip-pai,  that  was  of  the  chil- 
dren of  ‘^the  giant : and  they  were 
subdued. 

5 And  there  was  war  again  with 
the  Phi-lis-tines ; and  El-ha-nan  the 
son  of  ®Ja-ir  slew  Lah-ml  the  bro- 
ther of  G6-li-ath  the  Git-tite,  whose 
spear  staff  was  like  a weaver’s  beam. 

6 And  yet  again  ""there  was  war  at 
Gath,  where  was  ’a  man  of  great 
stature,  whose  fingers  and  toes  were

CHAPTER  21. 

1 David,  tempted  by  Satan,  forceth  Joab  to  number  the 
people.  9 David  having  three  plagues  propounded  by 
Gad  chooseth  the  pestilence.  14  After  the  death  of  seventy 
thousand,  David  by  repentance preveuteth  the  destruction 
of  Jerusalem.  18  David,  by  Gad's  direction,  purchaseth 
Oman's  threshingfloor : where  having  built  an  altar,  God 
giveth  a sign  of  his  favour  by  fire,  and  stayeth  the  plague. 

AND  ‘*Sa-tan  stood  up  against  Is- 
x\.  ra-el,  and  provoked  DaAud  to 
number  I§-ra-el. 

2 And  Da  Aid  said  to  J o-ab  and  to 
the  rulers  of  the  people.  Go,  number 
IsAa-el  from  BeAr-sheAa  even  to 
Dan ; ^ and  bring  the  number  of 
them  to  me,  that  I may  know  it. 

3 And  JoAb  answered.  The  Lord 
make  his  people  an  hundred  times 
so  many  more  as  they  be : but,  my 
lord  the  king,  are  they  not  all  my 
lord’s  servants '?  why  then  doth  my 
lord  require  this  thing'?  why  will 
he  be  a cause  of  trespass  to  IsAa-ell 

4 Nevertheless  the  king’s  word 
prevailed  against  J o Ab.  Wherefore 
JoAb  departed,  and  went  through- 
out all  IsAa-el,  and  came  to  Jb-ru- 
sa-lem. 

5 ^ And  JoAb  gave  the  sum  of  the 
number  of  the  peojDle  unto  DaAid. 
And  all  they  of  IsA-a-el  were  a thou- 
sand thousand  and  an  hundred  thou-

Ju-dah  was  four  hundred  threescore 
and  ten  thousand  men  that  drew 
sword. 

6 -^But  LeAl  and  Ben-ja-min 
counted  he  not  among  them  : for 
the  king’s  word  was  abominable  to 
J o Ab. 

7 ®And  God  was  displeased  with 
this  thing ; therefore  he  smote  Is- 
ra-el. 

8 And  Da  Aid  said  unto  God,  ^I 
have  sinned  greatly,  because  I have 
done  this  thing : "but  now,  I beseech 
thee,  do  away  the  iniquity  of  thy 
servant ; for  I have  done  very  fooL 
ishly. 

9 II  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
GM,  DaAid’s  Aeer,  saying, 

10  Go  and  tell  DaAih  saying.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  I ® offer  thee  three 
things:  choose  thee  one  of  them, 
that  I may  do  it  unto  thee. 

11  So  Gad  came  to  Da  Aid,  and 
said  unto  him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,

stroying throughout  all  the  coasts 
of  Is-ra-el.  Now  therefore  advise 
thyself  what  word  I shall  bring

13  And  Da-vid  said  unto  Gad,  I 
am  in  a great  strait : let  me  fall 
now  into  the  hand  of  the  Lord  ; 
for  very  ^ great  are  his  mercies  : but  i or  many. 
let  me  not  fall  into  the  hand  of

14  U So  the  Lord  sent  pestilence 
upon  Is-ra-el : and  there  fell  of  Is- 
ra-el  seventy  thousand  men. 

15  And  God  sent  an  * angel  unto 
Je-ru-sa-l5m  to  destroy  it : and  as 
he  was  destroying,  the  Lord  beheld, 
and  ‘’he  repented  him  of  the  evil,

It  is  enough,  stay  now  thine  hand.

and  ®saw  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
stand  between  the  earth  and  the 
heaven,  having  a drawn  sword  in 
his  hand  stretched  out  over  Jo-ru-

ers of  If-rd-el,  who  were  clothed  in 
sackcloth,  fell  upon  their  faces. 

17  And  Da-vid  said  unto  God,  Is 
it  not  I that  commanded  the  peo- 
ple to  be  numbered'?  even  I it  is 
that  have  sinned  and  done  evil  in- 
deed ; but  as  for  these  sheep,  what

pray  thee,  O Lord  my  God,  be  on

not  on  thy  people,  that  they  should 
be  plagued. 

181]  Then  the  ^ angel  of  the  Lord 
commanded  Gad  to  say  to  Da-vid, 
that  Da-vid  should  go  up,  and  set 
up  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  in  the

grant  it  me  for  the  full  price : that 
the  plague  may  be  stayed  from  the 
people. 

23  And  Or-nan  said  unto  Da-vid, 
Take  it  to  thee,  and  let  my  lord  the 
king  do  that  which  is  good  in  his 
eyes:  lo,  I give  thee  the  oxen  also 
for  burnt  offerings,  and  the  thresh- 
ing instruments  for  wood,  and  the

it  all. 

24  And  king  Da-vid  said  to  Or-

for  the  full  price  : for  I will  not 
take  that  which  is  thine  for  the 
Lord,  nor  offer  burnt  offerings 
without  cost. 

25  So  “Da-vid  gave  to  Or-nan  for 
the  place  six  hundred  shek-els  of

unto  the  Lord,  and  offered  burnt 
offerings  and  peace  offerings,  and 
called  upon  the  Lord;  and  ‘^he 
answered  him  from  heaven  by  fire 
upon  the  altar  of  burnt  offering. 

27  And  the  Lord  commanded  the 
angel  and  he  put  up  his  sword 
again  into  the  sheath  thereof. 

28  H At  that  time  when  Da-vid  saw 
that  the  Lord  had  answered  him 
in  the  threshingfloor  of  Or-nan  the

wilderness,  and  the  altar  of  the 
burnt  offering,  were  at  that  season 
in  the  high  place  at  ^Gib-e-5n. 

30  But  Da-vid  could  not  go  before 
it  to  enquire  of  God:  for  he  was 
afraid  because  of  the  sword  of  the 
angel  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  22. 

1 David  prepareth  abundance  for  the  building  of  the  temple. 

6 He  instructeth  Solo7non  in  God's  promises,  and  his  duty 

in  building  the  temple.  17  He  chargeth  the  princes  t\ 

assist  his  son. 

Then  DaMd  said,  *This  is  the 
house  of  the  Lord  God,  and 
this  is  the  altar  of  the  burnt  offer-- 
ing  for  Is-ra-6l. 

2 And  Da-vid  commanded  to  ga 
ther  together  '^the  strangers  that 
were  in  the  land  of  Is-ra-el ; and  he 
set  masons  to  hew  wrought  stones 
to  build  the  house  of  God. 

3 And  Da-vid  prei)ared  iron  in  a- 
bundance  for  the  nails  for  the  doors 
of  the  gates,  and  for  the  joinings ; 
and  brass  in  abundance  'without

4 Also  cedar  trees  in  abundance: 
for  the  ^Zi-do-ni-ans  and  they  of 
Tyre  brought  much  cedar  wood  to 
Da-vid. 

5 And  Da-vid  said,  ”S6l-5-m5n  my

The  number  of  hevitc's 


son  is  young  and  tender,  and  the 
house  that  is  to  be  budded  for  the 
Lord  must  be  exceeding  magnifical, 
of  fame  and  of  glory  throughout 
all  countries : I will  therefore  now 
make  preparation  for  it.  So  Da- 
vid prepared  abundantly  before  his 
death. 

6 H Then  he  called  for  S5l-5-mpn 
his  son,  and  charged  him  to  build 
an  house  for  the  Lord  God  of  I§- 
ra-6l. 

7 And  Da-vid  said  to  S5l-5-m5n, 
My  son,  as  for  me,  ‘^it  was  in  my 
mind  to  build  an  house  ®unto  the 
name  of  the  Lord  my  God : 

8 But  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
to  me,  saying,  ^Thou  hast  shed 
blood  abundantly,  and  hast  made 

great  wars : thou  shalt  not  build  an 
ouse  unto  my  name,  because  thou 
hast  shed  much  blood  upon  the 
earth  in  my  sight. 

9 * Behold,  a son  shall  be  born  to 
thee,  who  shall  be  a man  of  rest ; 
and  I will  give  him  *rest  from  all 
his  enemies  round  about:  for  his 
name  shall  be  ^S5l-6-m5n,  and  I 
will  give  peace  and  quietness  unto 
is-ra-6l  in  his  days. 

lO  ""He  shall  build  an  house  for 
my  name ; and  ” he  shall  be  my 
son,  and  I will  be  his  father;  and 
I will  establish  the  throne  of  his 
kingdom  over  Is-ra-6l  for  ever. 

11  Now,  my  son,  ^the  Lord  be 
with  thee;  and  prosper  thou,  and 
build  the  house  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  as  he  hath  said  of  thee. 

12  Only  the  Lord  ’’give  thee  wis- 
dom and  understanding,^  and  give 
thee  charge  concerning  Is-ra-el,  that 
thou  mayest  keep  the  law  of  the 
Lord  thy  God. 

13  *Then  shalt  thou  prosper,  it 
thou  takest  heed  to  fulfil  the  stat- 
utes and  judgments  which  the  Lord 
charged  Mo-ses  with  concerning 
I§-ra-el:  *be  strong,  and  of  g09d 
courage ; dread  not,  nor  be  dis- 
mayed. 

14  Now,  behold,  ®in  my  trouble  I 
have  prepared  for  the  house  of  the 
Lord  an  hundred  thousand  talents 
of  gold,  and  a thousand  thousand 
talents  of  silver ; and  of  brass  and

bution of  the  Uvites.  7 The  families  of  the  Gershonites. 
12  The  sons  of  Kohath.  21  The  sons  of  Merari. 

SO  when  Da-vid  was  old  and  full 
of  days,  he  made  ^S5l-5-m5n  his 
son  king  over  Ish4-el. 

2 ^ And  he  gathered  together  all 
the  princes  of  I§^ra-el,  with  the 
priests  and  the  Le-vites. 

3 Now  the  Le-vites  were  num- 
bered from  the  age  of  "thirty  years 
and  upward : and  their  number  by 
their  polls,  man  by  man,  was  thirty 
and  eight  thousand. 

4 Of  which,  twenty  and  four  thou- 
sand were  ^to  set  forward  the  work 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord  ; and  six 
thousand  were  ^officers  and  judges : 

5 Moreover  four  thousand  were 
porters  ; and  four  thousand  praised 
the  Lord  with  the  instraments 
® which  I made,  said  Da-vid,  to 
praise  therewith. 

6 And  “Da-vid  divided  them  into 
^courses  among  the  sons  of  Le-vi, 
namely,  Ger-sh5n,  Ko-hath,  and 
Me-ra-ri. 

7 ^ Of  the  2/Ger-sh5n-ites  were, 
^La-a-dan,  and  Shim-e-i. 

8 The  sons  of  La-a-dan ; the  chief 
was  JAhi-el,  and  Ze-tham,  and  Jo- 

9 The  sons  of  Shim-e-i ; Sh6l-5- 
mith,  and  Ha-zi-el,  and  Ha-ran, 
three.  These  were  the  chief  or  the 
fathers  of  La-a-dan. 

10  And  the  sons  of  Shim-6-i  were, 
Ja-hath,  ®Zi-na,  and  Je-tish,  and 
B6-ri-ah.  These  four  were  the  sons 
of  Shim-6-i. 

1 1 And  Ja-hath  was  the  chief,  and 
Zi-zah  the  second : but  J e-tish  and 
Be-ri-ah  ®had  not  many  sons ; there- 
fore they  were  in  one  reckoning,

14  Now  concerning  Mo-s6s  the

22  And  E-le-a-zar  died,  and  ^'had 
no  sons,  but  daughters : and  their 
® brethren  the  sons  of  Kish  Hook 
them. 

23  “The  sons  of  Mu-shI;  Mahdi,

24  H These  were  the  sons  of  *Le-vi 
after  the  house  of  their  fathers ; 
even  the  chief  of  the  fathers,  as 
they  were  counted  by  number  of 
names  by  their  i)olls,  that  did  the 
work  for  the  service  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  from  the  age  of  twenty 
years  and  upward. 

25  For  Da-vid  said.  The  Lord  God 
of  Is-ra-el  ‘^hath  given  rest  unto  his

they  shall  no  more  ® carry  the  taber- 
nacle, nor  any  vessels  of  it  for  the 
service  thereof. 

27  For  by  the  last  words  of  Da-vid 
the  Le-vites  were  ® numbered  from 
twenty  years  old  and  above: 

28  Because  ^ their  office  was  to

CHAPTER  24. 

1 The  divisions  of  the  sons  of  Aaron  by  lot  into  four  and 
twenty  orders.  20  The  Kohathites,  27  and  the  Merarites

the  sons  of  Aar-6n.  * The  sons 
of  Aar-(3n;  Na-dab,  and  A-bi-hu, 
E-le-a-zar,  and  Ith-a-mar. 

2 But  * Na-dab  and  A-bi-hu  died 
before  their  father,  and  had  no  chil- 
dren : therefore  E-le-a-zar  and  1th- 
a-mar  executed  the  priest’s  office. 

3 And  Da-vid  distributed  them, 
both  Za-dek  of  the  sons  of  E-le-a- 
zar,  and  A-him-e-lech  of  the  sons 
of  Ith-a-mar,  according  to  their  of- 
fices in  their  service. 

4 And  there  were  more  chief  men 
found  of  the  sons  of  E-le-a-zar  than 
of  the  sons  of  Ith-a-mar ; and  thus 
were  they  divided.  Among  the 
sons  of  E-le-a-zar  there  were  sixteen 
chief  men  of  the  house  of  their  fa- 
thers, and  eight  among  the  sons  of 
Ith-a-mar  according  to  the  house  of 
their  fathers. 

5 Thus  were  they  divided  by  lot, 
one  sort  with  another ; for  the 
governors  of  the  sanctuary,  and 
governors  of  the  house  of  God, 
were  of  the  sons  of  E-l6-a-zar,  and 
of  the  sons  of  Ith-a-mar. 

6 And  She-ma-iah  the  son  of  Ne- 
than-e-6l  the  scribe,  one  of  the  Le- 
vites,  wrote  them  before  the  king, 
and  the  princes,  and  Za-d6k  the 
priest,  and  A-him-6-lech  the  son 
of  A-bi-a-thar,  and  before  the  chief 
of  the  fathers  of  the  priests  and 
Le-vites : one  ^ principal  household 
being  taken  for  E-le-a-zar,  and  one 
taken  for  Ith-a-mar. 

7 Now  the  first  lot  came  forth  to 
Je-hoi-a-rib,  the  second  to  Je-da-iah,

mul, 

18  The  three  and  twentieth  to 
De-ladah,  the  four  and  twentieth 
to  Ma-a-zi-ah. 

19  These  were  the  orderings  of 
them  in  their  service  ® to  come  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  according  to 
their  manner,  under  Aar-On  their 
father,  as  the  Lord  God  of  IsAa-el

CHAPTER  28. 

1 David  in  a solemn  assembly  having  decla/red  God's  fa.vour 
to  him,  and  promise  to  his  son  Solomon,  exhorteth  them 
to  fear  God.  9,  20  He  cncourageth  Solomon  to  build  the 
temple.  11  He  giveth  him  patterns  for  the  form,  and 
gold  and  silver  for  the  materials. 

ND  Da-vid  assembled  all  the 

princes  of  Is-ra-el,  ^the  princes 

of  the  tribes,  and  '^the  captains  of 
the  companies  that  ministered  to 
the  king  by  course,  and  the  cap- 
tains over  the  thousands,  and  cap- 
tains over  the  hundreds,  and  ^ the 
stewards  over  all  the  substance 
and  possession  of  the  king,  ®and 
of  his  sons,  with  the  ® officers,  and 
with  ^the  mighty  men,  and  with 
all  the  valiant  men,  unto  Je-ru- 
sa-l6m. 

2 Then  Da-vid  the  king  stood  up 
upon  his  feet,  and  said.  Hear  me, 
my  brethren,  and  my  people : As 
for  me,  "I  had  in  mine  heart  to 
build  an  house  of  rest  for  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  and 
for  "the  footstool  of  our  God,  and 
had  made  ready  for  the  building: 

3 But  God  said  unto  me,  ^Thou 
shalt  not  build  an  house  for  my 
name,  because  thou  hast  been  a 
man  of  war,  and  hast  shed  ® blood. 

4 Howbeit  the  Lord  God  of  ls-ra-§l 
^ chose  me  before  all  the  house  of 
my  father  to  be  king  over  Is^ra-el 
for  ever : for  he  hath  chosen  J u-dah 
to  be  the  ruler : and  of  the  house 
of  Ju-dah,  *the  house  of  my  father ; 
and  ^among  the  sons  of  my  father 
he  liked  me  to  make  me  king  over 
all  I§-ra-6l : 

5 “And  of  all  my  sons,  (for  the 
Lord  hath  given  me  many  sons,) 
""he  hath  chosen  Sol-6-m5n  my  son 
to  sit  upon  the  throne  of  the  king- 
dom of  the  Lord  over  I§-ra-6l.

to  Solomon. 


6 And  he  said  unto  me,  “S6l-5-m6n 
thy  son,  he  shall  build  my  house 
and  my  courts : for  I have  chosen 
him  to  he  my  son,  and  I will  be  his 
father. 

7 Moreover  I will  establish  his 
kingdom  for  ever,  *if  he  be  ^con- 
stant to  do  my  commandments  and 
my  judgments,  as  at  this  day. 

8 Now  therefore  in  the  sight  of 
all  Is-ra-el  the  congregation  of  the 
Lord,  and  in  the  audience  of  our 
God,  keep  and  seek  for  all  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord  your 
God : that  ye  may  possess  this  good 
land,  and  leave  it  for  an  inherit- 
ance for  your  children  after  you  for 
ever. 

9 U And  thou,  S6l-5-m6n  my  son, 
^know  thou  the  God  of  thy  father, 
and  serve  him  -^with  a perfect 
heart  and  with  a willing  mind: 
for  '‘the  Lord  searcheth  all  hearts, 
and  understandeth  all  the  imagi- 
nations of  the  thoughts : hf  thou 
seek  him,  he  will  be  found  of  thee ; 
but  if  thou  forsake  him,  he  will  cast 
thee  off  for  ever. 

10  Take  heed  now  : 'for  the  Lord 
hath  chosen  thee  to  build  an  house 
for  the  sanctuary:  be  strong,  and 
do  it. 

11  II  Then  Da-vid  gave  to  SM-6- 
mOn  his  son  ”the  pattern  of  the 
porch,  and  of  the  houses  thereof, 
and  of  the  treasuries  thereof,  and 
of  the  upper  chambers  thereof,  and 
of  the  inner  parlours  thereof,  and 
of  the  place  of  the  mercy  seat, 

12  And  the  pattern  ^of  all  that  he 
had  by  the  spirit,  of  the  courts  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  of  all 
the  chambers  round  abouL  ^of  the 
treasuries  of  the  house  of  God,  and 
of  the  treasuries  of  the  dedicated 
things : 

13  Also  for  the  courses  of  the 
priests  and  the  Le-vites,  and  for 
all  the  work  of  the  service  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  for  all  the 
vessels  of  service  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

He  gave  of  gold  by  weight  for 
things  of  gold,  for  all  instruments 
of  all  manner  of  service ; silver 
also  for  all  instrurnents  oi  silver 
by  weight,  for  all  instruments  of

of  gold,  by  weight  for  every  candle- 
stick, and  for  the  lamps  thereof : 
and  for  the  candlesticks  of  silver 
by  weight,  both  for  the  candlestick, 
and  also  for  the  lamps  thereof,  ac- 
cording to  the  use  of  every  candle- 
stick.

17  Also  pure  gold  for  the  flesh-

his  hand  upon  me,  even  all  the 
works  of  this  pattern.

courage,  and  do  it:  fear  not,  nor 
be  dismayed : for  the  L9RD  God,

Furthermore  Ua^vid  the 

king  said  unto  all  the  congre- 
gation, S6l-5-m6n  my  son,  whom 
alone  God  hath  chosen,  is  yet 
^young  and  tender,  and  the  work 
is  great : for  the  palace  is  not  for 
man,  but  for  the  Lord  God. 

2 Now  I have  prepared  with  all 
my  might  for  the  house  of  my  God 
the  gold  for  things  to  he  made  of 
gold,  and  the  silver  for  things  of 
silver,  and  the  brass  for  things  of

who  then  is  willing  ^to  consecrate 
his  service  this  day  unto  the  Lord 

6 H Then  “^the  chief  of  the  fathers 
and  princes  of  the  tribes  of  Is-ra-el, 
and  the  captains  of  thousands  and 
of  hundreds,  with  ® the  rulers  of  the 
king’s  work,  offered  willingly, 

7 And  gave  for  the  service  of  the 
house  of  God  of  gold  five  thousand 
talents  and  ten  thousand  drams, 
and  of  silver  ten  thousand  talents, 
and  of  brass  eighteen  thousand 
talents,  and  one  hundred  thousand 
talents  of  iron. 

8 And  they  with  whom  precious 
stones  were  found  gave  them  to  the 
treasure  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
by  the  hand  of  '‘Je-hi-el  the  Ger- 
sh6n-ite. 

9 Then  the  people  rejoiced,  for 
that  they  offered  willingly,  because 
with  perfect  heart  they  ^offered  will- 
ingly to  the  Lord  : and  Dawid  the 
king  also  rejoiced  with  great  joy. 

10  ^ Wherefore  DaWid  blessed  the 
Lord  before  all  the  congregation : 
and  Da-vid  said.  Blessed  be  thou. 
Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el  our  father,  for 
ever  and  ever. 

11  * Thine,  O Lord,  is  the  great- 
ness, and  the  power,  and  the  glory, 
and  the  victory,  and  the  majesty : 
for  all  that  is  in  the  heaven  and 
in  the  earth  is  thine ; thine  is  the 
kingdom,  O Lord,  and  thou  art 
exalted  as  head  above  all. 

12  "‘Both  riches  and  honour  come 
of  thee,  and  thou  reignest  over  all ; 
and  in  thine  hand  is  power  and 
might ; and  in  thine  hand  it  is  to 
make  great,  and  to  give  strength 
unto  all. 

13  Now  therefore,  our  God,  we

that  we  have  prepared  to  build  thee

own. 

17  1 know  also,  my  God,  that  thou 
Hriest  the  heart,  and  ®hast  pleasure 
in  uprightness.  As  for  me,  in  the 
uprightness  of  mine  heart  I have 
willingly  offered  all  these  things : 
and  now  have  I seen  with  joy  thy 
people,  which  are  ^present  here,  to 
offer  willingly  unto  thee. 

18  O Lord  God  of  A-bra-ham, 
I-saae,  and  of  IshA-el,  our  fathers, 
keep  this  for  ever  in  the  imagina- 
tion of  the  thoughts  of  the  heart 
of  thy  people,  and  ^prepare  their 
heart  unto  thee : 

19  And  -^give  unto  S5T5-m5n  my 
son  a perfect  heart,  to  keep  thy 
commandments,  thy  testimonies, 
and  thy  statutes,  and  to  do  all  these 
things,  and  to  build  the  palace,  for 
the  which  have  made  provision. 

20  ^ And  DaWid  said  to  all  the 
congregation.  Now  bless  the  Lord 
your  God.  And  all  the  congrega- 
tion blessed  the  Lord  God  of  their 
fathers,  and  bowed  down  their 
heads,  and  worshipped  the  Lord, 
and  the  king. 

21  And  they  sacrificed  sacrifices 
unto  the  Lord,  and  offered  burnt 
offerings  unto  the  Lord,  on  the 
morrow  after  that  day,  even  a thou- 
sand bullocks,  a thousand  rams,  (ind 
a thousand  lambs,  with  their  drink 
offerings,  and  sacrifices  in  abun- 
dance for  all  lsh*a-el : 

22  And  did  eat  and  drink  before 
the  Lord  on  that  day  with  great 
gladness.  And  they  made  Sol-O- 
m5n  the  son  of  Da-vid  king  the 
second  time,  and  * anointed  him 
unto  the  Lord  to  be  the  chief  gov- 
ernor, and  Za-dOk  to  be  priest. 

23  Then  S5l-5-m5n  sat  on  the 
throne  of  the  Lord  as  king  instead 
of  Da-vid  his  father,  and  prospered ; 
and  all  lsh4-el  obeyed  him. 

24  And  all  the  princes,  and  the 
mighty  men,  and  all  the  sons  like- 
wise of  king  Da-vid,  "submitted'^ 
themselves  unto  S5l-5-m5n  the  king. 

25  And  the  Lord  magnified  Sol- 
5-m6n  exceedingly  in  the  sight  of 
all  Is-ra-el,  and  "bestowed  upon  him 
such  royal  majesty  as  had  not  been 
on  any  king  before  him  in  Ish*a-6l. 

26  ^ Thus  Da-vid  the  son  of  Jes-s6 
reigned  over  all  Is-ra-el. 

27  ®And  the  time  that  he  reigned 
over  Ish-a-el  loas  forty  years ; ’'seven 
years  reigned  he  in  rle-brOn,  and 
thirty  and  three  years  reigned  he 
in  JAru-sa-lem. 

28  And  he  ‘died  in  a good  old  age,

CHAPTER  1. 

1 The  solemn  offering  of  Solomon  at  Giheon.  7 Solomon’s 

choice  of  wisdom  is  blessed  by  God.  13  Solomori's  strength 

and  wealth. 

AND  *S5l-5-m5n  the  son  of  Da^vid 
was  strengthened  in  his  king- 
dom, and  ‘^the  Lokd  his  God  was 
with  him,  and  ® magnified  him  ex- 
ceedingly. 

2 Then  S5l-6-m5n  spake  unto  all 
Is-ra-6l,  to  -^the  captains  of  thou- 
sands and  of  hundreds,  and  to  the 
judges,  and  to  every  governor  in 
all  Is-ra-el,  the  chief  of  the  fathers. 

3 So  S5l;5-m(3n,  and  all  the  congre- 
gation with  him,  went  to  the  high 
place  that  was  at  ^ Gib-e-5n ; for 
there  was  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation  of  God,  which  Mo-s6s 
the  servant  of  the  Lord  had  made 
in  the  wilderness. 

4 *But  the  ark  of  God  had  Da-vid 
brought  up  from  Kir-jath-je-a-rim 
to  the  place  which  Da-vid  had  pre- 
pared for  it:  for  he  had  pitched  a 
tent  for  it  at  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

5 Moreover  *the  brasen  altar,  that 
’^Be-zal-Ael  the  son  of  U-ri,  the  son 
of  Hur,  had  made,  ^ he  put  before 
the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord  : and 
S^3l-(3-m5n  and  the  congregation 
sought  unto  it. 

6 And  S5l-5-m5n  went  up  thither 
to  the  brasen  altar  before  the  Lord, 
which  was^  at  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  "offered  a thou- 
sand burnt  offerings  upon  it. 

7 H Pin  that  night  did  God  appear 
unto  SM-5-mon,  and  said  unto  him. 
Ask  what  I shall  give  thee. 

8 And  S5l-5-m5n  said  unto  God, 
Thou  hast  shewed  great  mercy  un- 
to Da-vid  my  father,  and  hast  made 
me  ""to  reign  in  his  stead. 

^ 9 Now,  O Lord  God,  let  thy  prom- 
ise unto  Da-vid  my  father  be  es- 
tablished: ffor  thou  hast  made  me 
king  over  a people  '^like  the  dust  of 
the  earth  in  multitude.

come  in  before  this  people : for  who 
can  judge  this  thy  people,  that  is  so 
great? 

11  "And  God  said  to  S5l-5-m5n, 
Because  this  was  in  thine  heart,  and 
thou  hast  not  asked  riches,  wealth, 
or  honour,  nor  the  life  of  thine 
enemies,  neither  yet  hast  asked 
long  life ; but  hast  asked  wisdom 
and  knowledge  for  thyself,  that 
thou  mayest  judge  my  people,  over 
whom  I have  made  thee  king : 

12  Wisdom  and  knowledge  is 
granted  unto  thee ; and  I will  give 
thee  riches,  and  wealth,  and  hon- 
our, such  as  '"none  of  the  kings 
have  had  that  have  been  before 
thee,  neither  shall  there  any  after 
thee  have  the  like. 

13  H Then  Sol-5-m5n  came  from 
his  journey  to  the  high  place  that 
was  at  Gib-e-on  to  Jc-ru-sa-lem, 
from  before  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  reigned  over  Is- 
ra-el. 

14  'And  S5l-5-m5n  gathered  char- 
iots and  horsemen : and  he  had  a 
thousand  and  four  hundred  chariots, 
and  twelve  thousand  horsemen, 
which  he  placed  in  ^ the  chariot 
cities,  and  with  the  king  at  JAru- 
sa-l6m. 

15  ’^And  the  king  ^made  silver  and 
gold  at  Jg-ru-sa-lem  as  plenteous  as 
stones,  and  cedar  trees  made  he  as 
the  sycomore  trees  that  are  in  the 
vale  for  abundance. 

16  «And  ^Sdl-O-mdn  ha-^  horses 
brought  out  of  E-gypt,  and  linen 
yarn : the  king’s  merchants  received 
the  linen  yarn  at  a price. 

17  And  they  fetched  up,  and 
brought  forth  out  of  E-gypt  a 
chariot  for  six  hundred  shek'-Hs  of 
silver,  and  an  horse  for  an  hundred 
and  fifty : and  so  brought  they  out 
horses  for  all  the  kings  of  the  Hit' 
tites,  and  for  the  kings  of  Syr4-a, 
®by  their  means.

CHAPTER  2. 

1,  17  Solomons  labourers  for  the  building  of  the  temple.  3 
His  embassage  to  Huram  for  workmen  and  provision  of 
stuff.  11  Huram' s kind  answer. 

AND  S5l-5-m5n  determined  to 
build  an  house  for  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  and  an  house  for  his 
kingdom. 

2 And  *S5l-5-m(3n  told  out  three- 
score and  ten  thousand  men  to  bear 
burdens,  and  fourscore  thousand  to 
hew  in  the  mountain,  and  three 
thousand  and  six  hundred  to  over- 
see them. 

3 H And  SoTO-mCn  sent  to  ^ Hu- 
ram the  king  of  Tyre,  saying.  ^As 
thou  didst  deal  with  Da-vid  my 
father,  and  didst  send  him  cedars 
to  build  him  an  house  to  dwell 
therein,  even  so  deal  with  me. 

4 Behold,  '^I  build  an  house  to  the 
name  of  the  Lord  my  God,  to  dedi- 
cate it  to  hirn,  and  *to  burn  before 
him  ^ sweet  incense,  and  for  *the 
continual  shewbread,  and  for  Hhe 
burnt  offerings  morning  and  even- 
ing, on  the  sabbaths,  and  on  the 
new  moons,  and  on  the  solemn 
feasts  of  the  Lord  our  God.  ^ This 
is  an  ordinance  for  ever  to  Is-ra-el. 

5 And  the  house  which  I build  is 
great : for  great  is  our  God  above 
all  gods. 

6 ^^But  who  ® is  able  to  build  him 
an  house,  seeing  the  heaven  and 
heaven  of  heavens  cannot  contain 
himi  who  am  I then,  that  I should 
build  him  an  house,  save  only  to 
burn  sacrifice  before  him"? 

7 Send  me  now  therefore  a man 
cunning  to  work  in  gold,  and  in 
silver,  and  in  brass,  and  in  iron, 
and  in  purple,  aTid  crimson,  and 
blue,  and  that  can  skill  ®to  grave 
with  the  cunning  men  that  are 
with  me  in  Ju-dah  and  in  Jg-ru- 
sa-lem,  *whom  Da-vid  my  father 
did  provide. 

8 “Send  me  also  cedar  trees,  fir 
trees,  and  ^al-gtim  trees,  out  of  Lgb- 
a-n5n : for  I know  that  thy  servants 
can  skill  to  cut  timber  in  Leb-a- 
n5n ; and,  behold,  my  servants 
shall  he  with  thy  servants^ 

9 Even  to  prepare  me  timber  in 
abundance ; tor  the  house  which  I 
am  about  to  build  shall  he  ^won- 
derful great. 

10  *And,  behold,  I will  give  to  thy 
servants,  the  hewers  that  cut  tim- 
ber, twenty  thousand  measures  of 
beaten  wheat,  and  twenty  thousand 
measures  of  barley,  and  twenty

4 And  the  “porch  that  was  in  the 
front  of  the  house,  the  length  of  it 
was  according  to  the  breadth  of 
the  house,  twenty  cubits,  and  the 
height  was  an  hundred  and  twenty : 
and  he  overlaid  it  within  with  pure 
gold. 

5 And  ®the  greater  house  he  cieled 
with  fir  tree,  which  he  overlaid 
with  fine  gold,  and  set  thereon 
palm  trees  and  chains. 

6 And  he  ^garnished  the  house 
with  precious  stones  for  beauty:

thereof,  and  the  doors  thereof,  with 
gold ; and  graved  cher-Q-bims  on

thereof  twenty  cubits : and  he  over- 
laid it  with  fine  gold,  amounting  to 
six  hundred  talents. 

9 And  the  weight  of  the  nails  was 
fifty  shek-els  of  gold.  And  he  over- 
laid the  upper  chambers  with  gold. 

10  -^And  in  the  most  holy  house 
he  made  two  ch6r-a-bims  ^ of  image 
work,  and  overlaid  them  with  gold. 

11^  And  the  wings  of  the  cher-h- 
bims  were  twenty  cubits  long : one 
wing  of  the  one  cher-ub  was  five 
cubits,  reaching  to  the  wall  of  the 
house  : and  the  other  wing  was 
likewise  five  cubits,  reaching  to  the 
wing  of  the  other  cher-ub. 

12  And  one  wing  of  the  other 
cher-ub  was  five  cubits,  reaching  to 
the  wall  of  the  house ; and  the  other 
wing  was  five  cubits  also,  joining  to 
the  wing  of  the  other  ch6r-ub. 

1 3 The  wings  of  these  cher-Q-bims 
spread  themselves  forth  twenty  cu- 
bits : and  they  stood  on  their  feet, 
and  their  faces  were  ^inward. 

14  U And  he  made  the  ”"vail  of 
blue,  and  purple,  and  crimson,  and 
fine  linen,  and  ^wrought  cher-h- 
bims  thereon. 

1 5 Also  he  made  before  the  house 
"two  pillars  of  thirty  and  five  cubits 
^high,  and  the  chapiter  that  was  on 
the  top  of  each  of  them  was  five 
cubits. 

16  And  he  made  chains,  as  in  the 
oracle,  and  put  them  on  the  heads 
of  the  pillars ; and  made  ’’an  hun- 
dred pomegranates,  and  put  them 
on  the  chains. 

17  And  he  * reared  up  the  pillars

1 The  altar  of  brass.  2 The  molten  sea.  6 The  ten  layers, 
candlesticks,  and  tables.  9 The  courts,  11  the  instruments 
of  brass,  19  arid  of  gold. 

Moreover  he  made  ^an  altar 
of  brass,  twenty  cubits  the 
length  thereof,  and  twenty  cubits 
the  breadth  thereof,  and  ten  cubits 
the  height  thereof. 

2  ^ ‘^Also  he  made  a molten  sea 
of  ten  cubits  ^from  brim  to  brim, 
round  in  compass,  and  five  cubits 
the  height  thereof ; and  a line  of 
thirty  cubits  did  compass  it  round 
about. 

3  ® And  under  it  ivas  the  similitude 
of  oxen,  which  did  compass  it  round 
about:  ten  in  a cubit,  compassing 
the  sea  round  about.  Two  rows  of 
oxen  were  cast,  when  it  was  cast. 

4  It  stood  upon  twelve  oxen,  three 
looking  toward  the  north,  and  three 
looking  toward  the  west,  and  three 
looking  toward  the  south,  and  three 
looking  toward  the  east : and  the 
sea  teas  set  above  upon  them,  and 
all  their  hinder  parts  ivere  inward. 
5 And  the  thickness  of  it  was  an 
handbreadth,  and  the  brim  of  it  like 
the  work  of  the  brim  of  a cup,  ® with 
flowers  of  lilies ; and  it  received 
and  held  ^ three  thousand  baths. 

6  ^ He  made  also  '‘ten  lavers,  and 
put  five  on  the  riglit  hand,  and  five 
on  the  left,  to  wash  in  them : such 
things  as  they  offered  for  the  burnt 
offering  they  washed  in  them  ; but 
the  sea  ivas  for  the  priests  to 
wash  in. 

7  *And  he  made  ten  candlesticks 
of  gold  ^according  to  their  form,  and 
set  them  in  the  temple,  five  on  the 
right  hand,  and  five  on  the  left. 

8  'He  made  also  ten  tables,  and 
placed  them  in  the  temple,  five  on 
the  right  side,  and  five  on  the  left. 
And  he  made  an  hundred  ^basons 
of  gold. 

9  H Furthermore  ”he  made  the 
court  of  the  priests,  and  the  great 
courp  and  doors  for  the  court,  and 
overlaid  the  doors  of  them  with 
brass. 

10  And  ^ he  set  the  sea  on  the  right 
side  of  the  east  end,  over  against 
the  south. 

11  And  ®Hu-ram  made  the  pots, 
and  the  shovels,  and  the  ^basons. 
And  Hu-ram  finished  the  work 
that  he  was  to  make  for  king  S5l- 
o-m5n  for  the  house  of  God ; 

12  To  wit,  the  two  pillars,  and 
'the  pommels,  and  the  chapiters 
which  were  on  the  top  of  the  two

cover  the  two  pommels  of  the  chap- 
iters which  were  on  the  top  of  the 
pillars ; ^ ^ 

13  And  ‘’four  hundred  pomegran- 
ates on  the  two  wreaths ; two  rows 
of  pomegranates  on  each  wreath, 
to  cover  the  two  pommels  of  the 
chapiters  which  were  ^ upon  the 
pillars. 

14  He  made  also  bases,  and  Ha- 
vers made  he  upon  the  bases; 

15  One  sea,  and  twelve  oxen  un- 
der it.  ,111 

16  The  pots  also,  and  the  shovels, 
and  the  fleshhooks,  and  all  their 
instruments,  did  ®Hu-ram  his  fa-

17  -^in  the  plain  of  Jdr-dan  did  the 

king  cast  them,  in  the  ‘‘clay  ground 
between  Sue--e5th  and  Ze-red-a- 
thah.  ^ ,,  , 

18  ^Thus  S6l-5-m5n  made  all  these 

vessels  in  great  abundance  : for  the 
weight  of  the  brass  could  not  be 
Wnd  out.  ^ , 

19  51  And  ^S5T6-m6n  made  all  the 
vessels  that  were  for  the  house  of 
God,  the  golden  altar  also,  and  the 
tables  whereon  *the  shewbread  was 

20  Moreover  the  candlesticks  with 
their  lamps,  that  they  should  burn 
^’after  the  manner  before  the  oracle, 
of  pure  gold ; 

21  And  "‘^the  flowers,  and  the 
lamps,  and  the  tongs,  made  he  of 
gold,  and  that  ^ perfect  gold ; 

22  And  the  snuffers,  and  the  ® ba- 
sons, and  the  spoons,  and  the  cen- 
sers, o/pure  gold : and  the  entry  of 
the  house,  the  inner  doors  thereof 
for  the  most  holy  place,  and  the 
doors  of  the  house  of  the  temple, 
were  of  gold.

brought  in  all  the  things  that  Da-

“Wherefore  all  the  men  of  Is- 

ra-el  assembled  themselves  unto  the 
king  ^in  the  feast  which  was  in  the 
seventh  month. 

4 And  all  the  elders  of  Is-ra-el 
came ; and  the  LeWites  took  up  the 

5 And  they  brought  up  the  ark, 
and  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  all  the  holy  vessels  that 
were  in  the  tabernacle,  these  did  the 
priests  and  the  LeWites  bring  up. 

6 Also  king  SsTh-mOn,  and  all  the 
congregation  of  I§-ra-el  that  were 
assembled  unto  him  before  the  ark, 
sacrificed  sheep  and  oxen,  which 
could  not  be  told  nor  numbered  for 
multitude. 

7 And  the  priests  brought  in  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
unto  his  place,  to  the  oracle  of  the 
house,  into  the  most  holy  place, 
even  under  the  wings  of  the  cher- 
a-bims : 

8 For  the  cher-ti-bims  spread  forth 
their  wings  over  the  place  of  the 
ark,  and  the  cher-h-bims  covered 
the  ark  and  the  staves  thereof  above. 

9 And  they  drew  out  the  staves  of 
the  ark.  that  the  ends  of  the  staves 
were  seen  from  the  ark  before  the 
oracle;  but  they  were  not  seen 
without.  And  Hhere  it  is  unto  this 

10  There  was  nothing  in  the  ark 
save  the  two  tables  which  Mo-ses 
^put  therein  at  Ho-reb,  ®when  the 
Lord  made  a covenant  with  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el,  when  they  came 
out  of  E-gypt. 

11  H And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  priests  were  come  out  of  the 
holy  place : (for  all  the  priests  that 
were  ^ present  were  sanctified,  and 
did  not  then  wait  by  course : 

12  ”Also  the  LeWites  which  were 
the  singers,  all  of  them  of  A-saph, 
of  He-man,  of  Je-duHhun,  with 
their  sons  and  their  brethren,  being 
arrayed  in  wliite  linen,  having  cym- 
bals and  psalteries  and  harps,  stood 
at  the  east  end  of  the  altar,  ^and 
with  them  an  hundred  and  twentj^ 
priests  sounding  with  trumpets  :) 

13  It  came  even  to  pass,  as  the 
trumpeters  and  singers  were  as 
one,  to  make  one  sound  to  be 
heard  in  praising  and  thanking 
the  Lord  ; and  when  they  lifted 
up  their  voice  with  the  trumpets 
and  cymbals  and  instruments  of 
musick,  and  praised  the  Lord, 
saying.  For  he  is  good ; for  his 
mercy  endureth  for  ever : that  then 
the  house  was  filled  with  a cloud, 
even  the  house  of  the  Lord  ;

1 Solomon,  having  blessed  the  people,  hlesseth  G.od.  12 
Solomon’s  prayer  in  the  consecration  of  the  temple,  upon 
the  brasen  scaffold. 

Then  ‘^said  S5l-5-m6n,  The  Lord 
hath  said  that  he  would  dwell 
in  the  thick  darkness. 

2  But  I have  built  an  house  of 
habitation  for  thee,  and  a place  for 
thy  dwelling  for  ever. 

3  And  the  king  turned  his  face, 
an  d blessed  the  whole  congregation 
of  Is-ra-el : and  all  the  congregation 
of  Is-ra-el  stood. 

4  And  he  said.  Blessed  be  the  Lord 
God  of  Is-ra-el,  who  hath  with  his 
hands  fulfilled  that  which  he  spake 
with  his  mouth  to  my  father  Da- 
vid, saying, 

5  Since  the  day  that  I brought 
forth  my  people  out  of  the  land 
of  E-gypt  I chose  no  city  among 
all  the  tribes  of  Ish4-el  to  build  an 
house  in,  that  my  name  might  be 
there ; neither  chose  I any  man  to 
be  a ruler  over  my  people  Is-ra-6l : 
6 *But  I have  chosen  J C-ru-sa-lem, 
that  my  name  rnight  be  there ; and 
*have  chosen  Da-vid  to  be  over  my 
people  Is-ra-el. 

7  Now  fit  was  in  the  heart  of  Da-vid 
my  father  to  build  an  house  for  the 
name  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el. 

8  But  the  Lord  said  to  Da-vid 
my  father.  Forasmuch  as  it  was  in 
thine  heart  to  build  an  house  for 
my  name,  thou  didst  well  in  that 
it  was  in  thine  heart : 

9  Notwithstanding  thou  shalt  not 
build  the  house ; but  thy  son  which 
shall  come  forth  out  of  thy  loins,  he 
shall  build  the  house  for  my  name. 

10  The  Lord  therefore  hath  per- 
formed his  word  that  he  hath 
spoken : for  I am  risen  up  in  the 
room  of  Da-vid  my  father,  and  am 
set  on  the  throne  of  Is-ra-el,  as  the 
Lord  promised,  and  have  built  the 
house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord  God 
of  Is-ra-el. 

1 1  And  in  it  have  I put  the  ark, 
’“wherein  is  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  that  he  made  with  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-6l. 

12  H ”And  he  stood  before  the  al- 
tar of  the  Lord  in  the  presence  of 
all  the  congregation  of  Ls-ra-el,  and 
spread  forth  his  hands : 

13  For  S6l-5-m0n  had  made  a 
brasen  scaffold,  of  five  cubits  ®long, 
and  five  cubits  broad,  and  three 
cubits  high,  and  had  set  it  in  the 
midst  of  the  court:  and  upon  it

heaven,  nor  in  the  earth;  which 
keepest  covenant,  and  shewest  mercy 
unto  thy  servants,  that  walk  before 
thee  with  all  their  hearts  : 

15  ®Thou  which  hast  kept  with 
thy  servant  Da-vid  my  father  that 
which  thou  hast  promised  him  ; and 
spakest  with  thy  mouth,  and  hast 
fulfilled  it  with  thine  hand,  as  it  is 
this  day. 

16  Now  therefore,  O Lord  God  of 
Is-ra-el,  keep  with  thy  servant  Da- 
vid my  father  that  which  thou  hast 
promised  him,  saying,  -^There^  shall 
not  fail  thee  a man  in  my  sight  to 
sit  upon  the  throne  of  Is-ra-el ; ^^yet 
so  that  thy  children  take  heed  to 
their  wray  to  walk  in  my  law,  as 
thou  hast  walked  before  me. 

17  Now  then,  O Lord  God  of  Is- 
ra-6l,  let  thy  word  be  verified,  which 
thou  hast  spoken  unto  thy  servant 
Da-vid. 

1 8 But  will  God  in  very  deed  dwell 
with  meal  on  the  earth?  ’behold, 
heaven  and  the  heaven  of  heavens 
cannot  contain  thee ; how  much 
less  this  house  which  I have  built ! 

19  Have  respect  therefore  to  the 
prayer  of  thy  servant,  and  to  his

the  pavement,  and  worshipped,  and 
praised  the  Lord,  "-saying.  For  he  is 
good;  ®for  his  mercy  endureth  for 
ever. 

4 51  ‘^Then  the  king  and  all  the 
people  offered  sacrifices  before  the 
Lord. 

5 And  king  S6l-(3-mcin  offered  a 
sacrifice  of  twenty  and  two  thou- 
sand oxen,  and  an  hundred  and 
twenty  thousand  sheep : so  the 
king  and  all  the  people  dedicated 
the  house  of  God. 

6 ^And  the  priests  waited  on  their 
offices : the  Le-vites  also  with  in- 
struments of  musick  of  the  Lord, 
which  Da-vid  the  king  had  made 
to  praise  the  Lord,  because  his 
mercy  endureth  for  ever,  when 
Da-vid  praised  '^by  their  ministry ; 
and  *the  priests  sounded  trumpets 
before  them,  and  all  Is-ra-el  stood. 

7 Moreover  ^S5l-6-m6n  hallowed 
the  middle  of  the  court  that  was 
before  the  house  of  the  Lord  : for 
there  he  offered  burnt  offerings, 
and  the  fat  of  the  peace  offerings, 
because  the  brasen  altar  which  Sdl- 
fi-m5n  had  made  was  not  able  to 
receive  the  burnt  offerings,  and  the 
meat  offerings,  and  the  fat. 

8 51  ”Also  at  the  same  time  Sfil-6- 
mfin  kept  the  feast  seven  days,  and 
all  Is-ra-el  with  him,  a very  great 
congregation,  from  the  entering 
in  of  Ha-math  unto  "the 
E-gypt. 

9 And  in  the  eighth  day  they 
made  ^a  solemn  assembly  : for  they 
kept  the  dedication  of  the  altar 
seven  days,  and  the  feast  seven 
days. 

10  And  5 on  the  three  and  twen- 
tieth day  of  the  seventh  month 
he  sent  the  people  away  into  their 
tents,  glad  and  merry  in  heart  for 
the  goodness  that  the  Lord  had 
shewed  unto  Da-vid  and  to  Ssl-fi- 
m6n,  and  to  Is-ra-el  his  people. 

11  Thus  ^S5l-5-m5n  finished  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  the  king’s 
house : and  all  that  came  into  SM- 
O-mOn’s  heart  to  make  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  in  his  own  house, 
he  prosperously  effected. 

1 2 51  And  the  Lord  appeared  to 
Sol-5-m5n  by  night,  and  said  unto 
him,  I have  heard  thy  prayer,  *and 
have  chosen  this  place  to  myself 
for  an  house  of  sacrifice. 

13  *‘If  I shut  up  heaven  that  there 
be  no  rain,  or  if  I command  the 
locusts  to  devour  the  land,  or  if  I 
send  pestilence  among  my  people ; 

14  If  my  people,  ® which  are  called 
by  my  name,  shall  "'humble  them-

Hhen  will  I hear  from  heaven,  and 
will  forgive  their  sin,  and  will  heal 
their  land. 

15  Now  ®mine  eyes  shall  be  open, 
and  mine  ears  attent  ^unto  the 
prayer  that  is  made  in  this  place. 

16  For  now  have  H chosen  and 
sanctified  this  house,  that  my  name 
may  be  there  for  ever:  and  mine 
eyes  and  mine  heart  shall  be  there 
perpetually. 

17  ^And  as  for  thee,  if  thou  wilt 
walk  before  me,  as  Da-vid  thy  fa- 
ther walked,  and  do  according  to 
all  that  I have  commanded  thee, 
and  shalt  observe  my  statutes  and 
my  judgments ; 

18  Then  will  I stablish  the  throne 
of  thy  kingdom,  according  as  I 
have  covenanted  with  Da-vid  thy 
father,  saying,  * There®  shall  not  fail 
thee  a man  to  he  ruler  in  IsAa-el. 

19  "^But  if  ye  turn  awayj  and  for. 
sake  my  statutes  and  my  command' 
ments,  which  I have  set  before  you, 
and  shall  go  and  serve  other  gods, 
and  worship  them ; 

20  Then  will  I pluck  them  up  by 
the  roots  out  of  my  land  which  1 
have  given  them ; and  this  house, 
which  I have  sanctified  for  my 
name,  will  I cast  out  of  my  sight, 
and  will  make  it  to  he  a proverb 
and  a byword  among  all  nations. 

21  And  this  house,  which  is  high, 
shall  be  an  astonishment  to  every 
one  that  passeth  by  it ; so  that  he 
shall  say,  -^Why  hath  the  Lord 
done  thus  unto  this  land,  and  unto 
this  house/? 

22  And  it  shall  be  answered,  Be- 
cause they  forsook  the  Lord  God  of 
their  fathers,  which  brought  them 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  and 
laid  hold  on  other  gods,  and  wor- 
shipped them,  and  ser  ved  them : 
therefore  hath  he  brought  all  this 
evil  upon  them.

AND  dt  came  to  pass  at  the  end 
XX  of  twenty  years,  wherein  Sbl- 
b-mbn  had  built  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  his  own  house, 

2 That  the  cities  which  Huh’am 
had  restored  to  Sbl-b-mfin,  Sbl- 
5-m6n  built  them,  and  caused 
the  children  of  IshA-el  to  dwell 
there. 

3 And  Sol-b-m5n  went  to  Ha-math- 
zo-bah,  and  preyailed  against  it. 

4 ^And  he  built  TM-m6r  in  the 


The  queen  of  Sheba’s 

wilderness,  and  all  the  store  cities, 
which  he  built  in  Ha-math. 

5 Also  he  built  Beth-ho-r5n  the 
upper,  and  Beth-ho-r5n  the  nether, 
fenced  cities,  with  walls,  gates,  and 

6 And  Ba-al-ath,  and  all  the  store 
cities  that  SOhO-mOn  had,  and  all 
the  chariot  cities,  and  the  cities  of 
the  horsemen,  and  ^ all  that  S51-5- 
m5n  desired  to  build  in  Je-ru-sa- 
lem,  and  in  Leb-a-non,  and  through- 
out all  the  land  of  his  dominion. 

7 ^ ^ As  for  all  the  people  that 
were  left  of  the  Hit-tites,  and  the 
Am-6r-ites,  and  the  Per-iz-zites,  and 
the  Hi-vites,  and  the  _ J 6b-u-sites, 
which  were  not  of  Is-ra-el, 

8 But  of  their  children,  who  were 
left  after  them  in  the  land,  whom 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el  consumed 
not,  them  did  S5l-5-m(3n  make  to 
pay  tribute  until  this  day. 

9 But  of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
did  S6l-5-m6n  make  no  servants 
for  his  work;  but  they  were  men 
of  war,  and  chief  of  his  captains, 
and  captains  of  his  chariots  and 
horsemen. 

10  And  these  were  the  chief  of 
king  S5l-5-m5n’s  officers,  even  ®two 
hundred  and  fifty,  that  bare  rule 
over  the  people. 

1 1 H And  S(3l-5-m_5n  -^brought  up 
the  daughter  of  Pha-raoh  out  of  the 
city  of  Da-vid  unto  the  house  that 
he  had  built  for  her : for  he  said. 
My  wife  shall  not  dwell  in  the 
house  of  Da-vid  king  of  ls-ra-6l,  be- 
cause the  places  are  ^holy,  where- 
unto  the  ark  of  the  Loed  hath  come. 

12^  Then  Sol-5-mOn  offered  burnt 
offerings  unto  the  Loed  on  the  altar 
of  the  Loed,  which  he  had  built 
before  the  porch, 

13  Even  after  a certain  rate  every 
day,  offering  according  to  the  com- 
mandment of  Mo-ses,  on  the  sab- 
baths, and  on  the  new  moons,  and 
on  the  solemn  feasts,  'Three  times 
in  the  year,  even  in  the  feast  of 
unleavened  bread,  and  in  the  feast 
of  weeks,  and  in  the  feast  of  taber- 
nacles. 

14  H And  he  appointed,  according 
to  the  order  of  Da-vid  his  father, 
the  bourses  of  the  priests  to  their 
service,  and  '^the  Le-vltes  to  their 
charges,  to  praise  and  minister  be- 
fore the  priests,  as  the  duty  of 
every  day  required ; the  'porters 
also  by  their  courses  at  every  gate  : 
for  ’'so  had  Da-vid  the  man  of  God 
commanded. 

15  And  they  departed  not  from 
the  commandment  of  the  king  unto 
the  priests  and  Le-vites  concerning

was  prepared  unto  the  day  of  the 
foundation  of  the  house  of  the 
Loed,  and  until  it  was  finished. 
So  the  house  of  the  Loed  was  per-

took  thence  four  hundred  and  fifty

CHAPTER  9. 

1 The  queen  of  Sheba  admireth  the  wisdom  of  Solomon.  13 
Solomon's  gold.  17  Eis  throne  of  ivory.  20  His  vessels. 
23  His  presents.  25  His  chariots  arid  horse.  29  His  reign 
and  death. 

AND  ‘'when  the  queen  of  ShedDa 
heard  of  the  fame  of  Sol-b-mCn, 
she  came  to  prove  S5l-5-m5n  with 
hard  questions  at  Jg-ru-sa-lem,  with 
a very  great  company,  and  camels 
that  bare  spices,  and  gold  in  abun- 
dance, and  precious  stones : and 
when  sbe  was  come  to  S6l-6-m(3n, 
she  communed  with  him  of  all  that 
was  in  her  heart. 

2 And  S5l-5-m5n  told  her  all  her 

questions : and  there  was  nothing 
hid  from  S6l-5-m6n  which  he  told 
her  not.  . 

3 And  when  the  queen  of  She-ba 
had  seen  the  wisdom  of  S6l-5-m6n, 
and  the  house  that  he  had  built, 

4 And  the  meat  of  his  table,  and 
the  sitting  of  his  servants,  and  the 
attendance  of  his  ministers,  and 
their  ai)parel ; his  ^cupbearers  also, 
and  their  apparel ; and  his  ascent  by 
which  he  went  up  into  the  house 
of  the  Loed  ; there  was  no  more 
spirit  in  her. 

5 And  she  said  to  the  king.  It  was 
a true  ® report  which  I heard  in 
mine  own  land  of  thine  ®acts,  and 
of  thy  wisdom : 

6 Howbeit  I believed  not  their 
words,  until  I came,  and  mine  eyes 
had  seen  it:  and,  behold,  the  one 
half  of  the  greatness  of  thy  wisdom 
was  not  told  me  : for  thou  exceedest 
the  fame  that  I heard. 

7 Happy  are  thy  men,  and  happy 
are  these  thy  servants,  which  stand 
continually  before  thee,  and  hear 
thy  wisdom. 

8 Blessed  be  the  Loed  thy  God, 
which  delighted  in  thee  to  set  thee 
on  his  throne,  to  be  king  for  the 
Loed  thy  God : because  thy  God

over  them,  to  do  judgment  and 
justice. 

9 And  she  gave  the  king  an  hun- 
dred and  twenty  talents  of  gold, 
and  of  spices  great  abundance,  and 
precious  stones : neither  was  there 
any  such  spice  as  the  queen  of 
She-ba  gave  king  S5l-5-m0n. 

10  And  the  servants  also  of  Hu- 
ram,  and  the  servants  of  Sol-5-m5n, 
® which  brought  gold  from  O-phir, 
brought  ''al-gtim  trees  and  precious 
stones. 

11  And  the  king  made  of  the  al- 
giim  trees  ^^terraces  to  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  to  the  king’s  palace, 
and  harps  and  psalteries  for  singers : 
and  there  were  none  such  seen  be- 
fore in  the  land  of  Ju-dah. 

12  And  king  S5l-6-m5n  gave  to 
the  queen  of  She-ba  all  her  desire, 
whatsoever  she  asked,  beside  that 
which  she  had  brought  unto  the 
king.  So  she  turned,  and  went 
away  to  her  own  land,  she  and  her 
servants. 

13  H Now  the  weight  of  gold  that 
came  to  Sol-5-m5n  in  one  year  was 
six  hundred  and  threescore  and  six 
talents  of  gold ; 

14  Beside  that  which  chapmen  and 
merchants  brought.  And  all  the 
kings  of  A-ra-bi-a  and  ^governors  of 
the  country  brought  gold  and  silver 
to  S5r-6-m5n. 

15  H And  king  S5l-5-m5n  made 
two  hundred  targets  o/ beaten  gold : 
six  hundred  shek'-Hs  of  beaten  gold 
went  to  one  target. 

16  And  three  hundred  shields 
made  he  of  beaten  gold  : three  hun- 
dred sheki-els  of  gold  went  to  one 
shield.  And  the  king  put  them  in 
the  house  of  the  forest  of  Leb-a-n5n. 

1 7 Moreover  the  king  made  a great 
throne  of  ivory,  and  overlaid  it  with 
pure  gold. 

18  And  there  were  six  steps  to  the 
throne,  with  a footstool  of  gold, 
which  ivere  fastened  to  the  throne, 
and  ® stays  on  each  side  of  the  sit- 
ting place,  and  two  lions  standing 
by  the  stays : 

19  And  twelve  lions  stood  there 
on  the  one  side  and  on  the  other 
upon  the  six  steps.  There  was  not 
the  like  made  in  any  kingdom. 

20  H And  all  the  drinking  vessels 
of  king  Sol-O-mOn  were  of  gold,  and 
all  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  the 
forest  of  Leb-a-nOn  were  o/  ®pure 
gold  : ^ none  ivere  of  silver  ; it  was 
not  any  thing  accounted  of  in  the 
days  of  S5l-0-m5n.

24  And  they  brought  every  man 
his  present,  vessels  of  silver,  and 
vessels  of ‘gold,  and  raiment,  har-

and  twelve  thousand  horsemen : 
whom  he  bestowed  in  the  chariot

27  •'^And  the  king  ®made  silver  in

years.

CHRONICLES 


4 Thy  father  made  our  yoke  griev 
ous  : now  therefore  ease  thou  some- 
what the  grievous  servitude  of  thy 
father,  and  his  heavy  yoke  that 
he  put  upon  us,  and  we  will  serve 
thee. 

5 And  he  said  unto  them.  Come 
again  unto  me  after  three  days. 
And  the  people  departed. 

6 IT  And  king  Re-h5-bo-am  took 
counsel  with  the  old  men  that  had 
stood  before  S6T5-m5n  his  father 
while  he  yet  lived,  saying.  What 
counsel  give  ye  me  to  return  answer 
to  this  people 

7 And  they  spake  unto  nim,  say- 
ing, If  thou  be  kind  to  this  people, 
and  please  them,  and  speak  good 
words  to  them,  they  will  be  thy 
servants  for  ever. 

8 But  he  forsook  the  counsel  which 
the  old  men  gave  him,  and  took 
counsel  with  the  young  men  that 
were  brought  up  with  him,  that 
stood  before  him. 

9 And  he  said  unto  them_.  What 
.advice  give  ye  that  we  may  return 
answer  to  this  people,  which  have 
spoken  to  me,  saying.  Ease  some- 
what the  yoke  that  thy  father  did 
j)ut  upon  us  % 

10  And  the  young  men  that  were 
brought  up  with  him  spake  unto 
him,  saying.  Thus  shalt  thou  an- 
swer the  people  that  spake  unto 
thee,  saying.  Thy  father  made  our 
yoke  heavy,  but  make  thou  it 
somewhat  lighter  for  us  ; thus 
shalt  thou  say  unto  them.  My 
little  finger  shall  be  thicker  than 
my  father’s  loins. 

1 1 For  whereas  my  father  ^put  a 
heavy  yoke  upon  you,  I will  put 
more  to  your  yoke  : my  father 
chastised  you  with  whips,  but  I 
vjill  chastise  you  with  scorpions. 

12  So  J6r-5-bo-am  and  all  the 
people  came  to  Re-h5-bo-am  on 
the  third  day,  as  the  king  bade, 
saying.  Come  again  to  me  on  the 
third  day. 

13  And  the  king  answered  them 
roughly;  and  king  Re-h5-bo-am  for 
sook  the  counsel  of  the  old  men, 

14  And  answered  them  after  the 
iidvice  of  the  young  men,  saying. 
My  father  made  your  yoke  heavy, 
but  I will  add  thereto : my  father 
chastised  you  with  whips,  but  I will 
chastise  you  with  scorpions. 

1.5  So  the  king  hearkened  not  unto 
the  people : ‘^for  the  cause  was  of 
God,  that  the  Lord  might  perform 
his  word,  which  he  spake  by  the 
®hand  of  A-hi-jah  the  Shid5-nite  to 
J6r-5-bo-am  the  son  of  Ne-bat.

the  king  would  not  hearken  unto 
them,  the  people  answered  the  king, 
saying.  What  portion  have  we  in 
Da-vidl  and  we  have  none  inherit- 
ance in  the  son  of  Jes-se : every  man 
to  your  tents,  O Is-ra-6l,  and  nov/, 
Da-vid,  see  to  thine  own  house.  So 
all  Is-ra-el  went  to  their  tents. 

17  But  as  for  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el  that  dwelt  in  the  cities  of 
Ju-dah,  Re-h5-bo-am  reigned  over 
them. 

18  Then  king  Re-h6-bo-am  sent 
Ha-do-ram  that  ivas  over  the  trib- 
ute ; and  the  children  of  IshA-el 
stoned  him  with  stones,  that  he 
died.  But  king  Re-h5-bo-am  ^ made 
speed  to  get  him  up  to  his  chariot, 
to  flee  to  Jo-rii-sa-lem. 

19  "And  Is-ra-6l  rebelled  against 
the  house  of  DaAid  unto  this  day.

AND  ^when  Re-h5-bo-am  was 
come  to  Je-ru-sa-lern,  he  gath- 
ered of  the  house  of  Ju-dMi  and 
Ben-ja-min  an  hundred  and  four- 
score thousand  chosen  men,^  which 
were  warriors,  to  fight  against  Is- 
ra-6l,  that  he  might  bring  the  king- 
dom again  to  Re-h5-bo-am. 

2 But  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
Ho  She-ma-iah  the  man  of  God, 
saying, 

3 Speak  unto  Re-h6-bo-am  the  son 
of  S5l-5-m5n,  king  of  Ju-dah,  and 
to  all  Is-r4-el  in  Ju-dah  and  Ben- 
ja-min,  saying, 

4 Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye  shall 
not  go  up,  nor  fight  against  your 
brethren  : return  every  man  to  his 
house:  for  this  thing  is  done  of 
me.  And  they  obeyed  the  words  of 
the  Lord,  and  returned  from  going 
against  J6r-5-bo-am. 

5 ^ And  Re-h(3-bo-am  dwelt  in 
JAru-sa-lem,  and  built  cities  for 
defence  in  Ju-dah. 

6 He  built  even  Bgth'-l6-h6m,  and 
E-tam,  and  Te-ko-a,

11  And  he  fortified  the  strong 
holds,  and  put  captains  in  them, 
and  store  of  victual,  and  of  oil  and

12  And  in  every  several  city  he

13  ^ And  the  priests  and  the  Le- 
vites  that  were  in  all  Is-rA-el  ^re- 
sorted  to  him  out  of  all  their  coasts. 

14  For  the  Le-vites  left  “their 
suburbs  and  their  possession,  and 
came  to  Ju-dah  and  Jo-ru-sa-lem  : 
for  ‘'Jer-5-bo-am  and  his  sons  had 
cast  them  off  from  executing  the 
priest’s  office  unto  the  Lord  : 

15  And  he  ordained  him  priests 
for  the  high  places,  and  for  -^the 
devils,  and  for  ^the  calves  which 
he  had  made. 

16  '‘And  after  them  out  of  all  the

hearts  to  seek  the  Lord  God  of  Is-

fice unto  the  Lord  God  of  their

against  JAru-sa-l6m,  because  they 
had  transgressed  against  the  Lord, 

3 With  Welve  hundred  chariots, 
and  threescore  thousand  horse- 
men : and  the  people  were  with- 
out nuinber  that  came  with  him 
out  of  E-gypt ; ^ the  Lu-bims,  the 
Stik-ki-ims,  and  the  E-thi-o-pi-ans. 

4 And  he  took  the  fenced  cities 
which  pertained  to  J u-dah,  and 
came  to  Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

5 51  Then  came  ®ShAma-iah  the 
prophet  to  Re-h6-bo-am,  and  to  the 
princes  of  Ju-dah,  that  were  gath- 
ered together  to  Je-ru-sa-lem  be- 
cause of  Shi-shak,  and  said  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  *Ye 
have  forsaken  me,  and  therefore 
have  I also  left  you  in  the  hand  of 
Shi-shak. 

6 Whereupon  the  princes  of  Is- 
ra-el  and  the  king  ^ humbled  them- 
selves ; and  they  said,  The  Lord 
is  righteous. 

7 And  when  the  Lord  saw  that 
they  humbled  themselves,  ” the 
word  of  the  Lord  came  to  Sho-ma- 
iah,  saying,  They  have  humbled 
themselves  ; therefore^  I will  not  de- 
stroy them,  but  I will  grant  them 
^some  deliverance;  and  my  wrath 
shall  not  be  poured  out  upon  Jo-ru- 
sa-lem  by  the  hand  of  Shi-shak. 

8 Nevertheless  ‘’they  shall  be  his 
servants  ; that  they  may  know  ®my 
service,  and  the  service  of  the  king- 
doms of  the  countries. 

9 ’’So  Shi-shak  king  of  E-gypt  came 
up  against  Jo-ru-sa-lem,  and  took 
away  the  treasures  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  treasures  of  the 
king’s  house ; he  took  all : he  car- 
ried away  also  the  shields  of  gold 
which  S6l-(5-m6n  had  ®made. 

10  Instead  of  which  king  Re-h5- 
bo-am  made  shields  of  brass,  and 
committed  them  “to  the  hands  of 
the  chief  of  the  guard,  that  kept 
the  entrance  of  the  king’s  house. 

1 1 And  when  the  king  entered  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  the  guard 
came  and  fetched  them,  and  brought 
them  again  into  the  guard  chamber. 

12  And  when  he  humbled  him- 
self, the  wrath  of  the  Lord  turned 
from  him,  that  he  would  not  de- 
stroy him  altogether : ^and  also  in 
Ju-dah  things  went  well. 

1 3 51  So  king  Re-h5-bo-am  strength- 
ened himself  in  J4-ru-sa-lem,  and 
reigned : for  ^ Re-h6-bo-am  was  one 
and  forty  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  seventeen 
years  in  JAru-sa-lem,  “the  city 
which  the  Lord  had  chosen  out 
of  all  the  tribes  of  Is-ra-6l,  to  put

in  the  ^book  of  She-ma-iah  the  pro-

were  wars  between  Re-h5-bo-am 
and  Jer-(3-bo-am  continually. 

16  And  Re-h5-bo-am  slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in  the 
city  of  Da-vid:  and  ^A-bi-jah  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  13. 

1 Abijah  maketh  war  against  Jeroboam.  4 He  declareth 
the  right  of  his  cause.  13  Trusting  in  God  he  overcometh 
Jeroboam.  21  The  wives  and  children  of  Abijah. 

■\r OW  ^ in  the  eighteenth  year  of 
king  Jer-5-bo-am  began  A-bi- 
jah  to  reign  over  Ju-dah. 

2 He  reigned  three  years  in  J e-ru- 
sa-lem.  His  mother’s  name  also 
was  *Mi-eha-iah  the  daughter  of 
U-ri-el  of  Gib-e-ah.  And  there  was 
war  between  A-bi-jah  and  Jer-5- 
bo-am.  ^ 

3 And  A-bi-jah  ^set  the  battle  in 
array  with  an  army  of  valiant  men 
of  war,  even  four  hundred  thousand 
chosen  men:  J6r-5-bo-am  also  set 
the  battle  in  array  against  him  with 
eight  hundred  thousand  chosen  men, 
being  mighty  men  of  valour. 

4 U And  A-bi-jah  stood  up  upon 
mount  ”^Zem-a-ra4m,  which  is  in 
mount  E-phra-im,  and  said.  Hear 
me,  thou  Jer-5-bo-am,  and  all  Is- 
ra-el ; 

5 Ought  ye  not  to  know  that  the 
Lord  God  of  Is-rd-el  ‘’gave  the  king- 
dom over  Is-r4-6l  to  Da-vid  for  ever, 
even  to  him  and  to  his  sons  ^by  a 
covenant  of  salt? 

6 Yet  J6r-6-bo-am  the  son  of  Ne- 
bat,  the  servant  of  S5l-5-m6n  the 
son  of  Da-vid,  is  risen  up,  and  hath 
^rebelled  against  his  lord. 

7 And  there  are  gathered  unto 
him  ’‘vain  men,  the  children  of  Be- 
li-al,  and  have  strengthened  them- 
selves against  Re-hO-ho-am  the  son 
of  S5l-6-m6n,  when  Re-h5-bo-am 
was  young  and  tenderhearted,  and 
coula  not  withstand  them. 

8 And  now  ye  think  to  withstand 
the  kingdom  of  the  Lord  in  the 
hand  oi  the  sons  of  Da^d ; and 
ye  be  a great  multitude,  and  there 
are  with  you  golden  calves,  which 
Jgr-5-bo-am  “made  you  for  gods. 

9 "Have  ye  not  cast  out  the  priests 
of  the  Lord,  the  sons  of  Aar-5n,  and 
the  Le-vites,  and  have  made  you

nations  of  other  lands?  ""so  that 

whosoever  cometh  Ho  consecrate 
himself  with  a young  bullock  and 
seven  rams,  the  same  may  be  a 
priest  of  them  that  are  no  gods. 

10  But  as  for  us,  the  Lord  is  our 
God,  and  we  have  not  forsaken 
him ; and  the  priests,  which  minis- 
ter unto  the  Lord_,  are  the  sons  of 
Aar-5n,  and  the  LeHites  wait  upon 
their  business : 

11  ‘^And  they  burn  unto  the  Lord 
every  morning  and  every  evening 
burnt  sacrifices  and  sweet  incense  : 
the  ^ shewbread  also  set  they  in 
order  upon  the  pure  table  ; and  the 
candlestick  of  gold  with  the  lamps 
thereof,  ^ to  burn  every  evening : 
for  we  keep  the  charge  of  the  Lord 
our  God ; but  ye  have  forsaken 
him. 

12  And,  behold,  God  himself  is 
with  us  for  our  captain,  *and  his 
priests  with  sounding  trumpets  to 
cry  alarm  against  you.  O children 
of  IsHa-el,  ' fight  ye  not  against  the 
Lord  God  of  your  fathers;  for  ye 
shall  not  prosper.  _ 

13  H But  Jer-5-bo-am  caused  an 
ambushment  to  come  about  behind 
them  : so  they  were  before  Ju-dah, 
and  the  ambushment  was  behind 
them. 

14  And  when  Ju-dah  looked  back, 
behold,  the  battle  was  before  and 
behind:  and  they  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  and  the  priests  sounded  with 
the  trumpets. 

15  Then  the  men  of  Ju-dah  gave 
a shout : and  as  the  men  of  Ju-dah 
shouted,  it  came  to  pass,  that  God 
“smote  Jer-5-bo-am  and  all  IsHa-el 
before  A-bi-jah  and  Ju-dah. 

16  And  the  children  of  IshA-el  fled 
before  Juki  ah : and  God  delivered 
them  into  their  hand. 

17  And  A-bi-jah  and  his  people 
slew  them  with  a great  slaughter : 
so  there  fell  down  slain  of  IsH4-6l 
five  hundred  thousand  chosen  men. 

18  Thus  tbe  children  of  Isb;a-gl 
were  brought  under  at  that  time, 
and  the  children  of  Ju-dah  pre- 
vailed, because  they  relied  upon 
the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers. 

1 9 And  A-bi-jah  pursued  after  J 6r- 
5-bo-am,  and  took  cities  from  him, 
B6th-gl  with  the  towns  thereof, 
and  J6sh-a-nah  with  the  towns 
thereof,  and  ^E-phra-in  with  the 
towns  thereof. 

20  Neither  did  J6r-5-bo-am  recover 
strength  again  in  the  days  of  A-bi- 
jah : and  the  Lord  struck  him,  and 
*he  died. 

21  H But  A-bi-jah  waxed  mighty,

CHAPTER  14. 

1 Asa  destroyeth  idolatry.  6 He  strengtheneth  his  kingdom 

with  forts  and  armies.  9 He  overthroweth  Zerah,  and 

spoileth  the  Ethioxnans. 

QO  A-bi-jah  slept  with  his  fathers, 
O and  they  buried  him  in  the  city 
of  Da-vid : and  A-sa  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead.  In  his  days  the  land 
was  quiet  ten  years. 

2 And  A-sa  did  that  which  was 
good  and  right  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Lokd  his  God : 

3 For  he  took  away  the  altars  of 
the  strange  gods,  and  •''the  high 
places,  and  ^ brake  down  the  ‘^im- 
ages, *and  cut  down  the  groves : 

4 And  commanded  Ju-dah  to  seek 
the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers,  and 
to  do  the  law  and  the  command- 
ment. 

5 Also  he  took  away  out  of  all 
the  cities  of  Ju-dah  the  high  places 
and  the  ® images  : and  the  kingdom 
was  quiet  before  him. 

6 ^ And  he  built  fenced  cities 
in  Ju-dah:  for  the  land  had  rest, 
and  he  had  no  war  in  those  years  ; 
because  the  Lord  had  given  him 
rest. 

7 Therefore  he  said  unto  Ju-dah, 
Let  us  build  these  cities,  and  make 
about  them  walls,  and  towers,  gates, 
and  bars,  while  the  land  is  yet  be- 
fore us ; because  we  have  sought 
the  Lord  our  God,  we  have  sought 
him,  and  he  hath  given  us  rest  on 
every  side.  So  they  built  and  pros- 
pered. 

8 And  A-sa  had  an  army  of  men 
that  bare  targets  and  spears,  out  of 
Ju-dah  three  hundred  thousand ; 
and  out  of  Bgn-ja-min,  that  bare 
shields  and  drew  bows,  two  hun- 
dred and  fourscore  thousand : all 
these  were  mighty  men  of  valour. 

9 If  ^And  there  came  out  against 
them  Ze-rah  the  E-thi-o-pi-an  with 
an  host  of  a thousand  thousand,  and 
three  hundred  chariots ; and  came 
unto  * Ma-re^shah. 

10  Then  A-sa  went  out  against 
him,  and  they  set  the  battle  in 
array  in  the  valley  of  Z6ph-a-thah 
at  Ma-re-shah. 

1 1 And  A-sa  cried  unto  the  Lord 
his  God,  and  said.  Lord,  it  is  "'no- 
thing with  thee  to  help,  whether 
with  many,  or  with  them  that  have 
no  power:  help  us,  O Lord  our 
God ; for  we  rest  on  thee,  and  Hn 
thy  name  we  go  against  this  mul-

12  So  the  Lord  ‘‘smote  the  E-thi- 
o-pi-ans  before  A-sa,  and  before  Ju- 
dah ; and  the  E-thi-o-pi-ans  fled. 

13  And  A-sa  and  the  people  that 
were  with  him  pursued  them  unto 
' Geh’ar : and  the  E-thi-6-pi-ans  were 
overthrown,  that  they  could  not 
recover  themselves ; for  they  were 
® destroyed  before  the  Lord,  and 
before  his  host ; and  they  carried 
away  very  much  spoil. 

14  And  they^  smote  all  the  cities 
round  about  Geh’ar ; for  Hhe  fear 
of  the  Lord  came  upon  them  : and 
they  spoiled  all  the  cities  ; for  there 
was  exceeding  much  spoil  in  them. 

15  They  smote  also  the  tents  of 
cattle,  and  carried  away  sheep  and 
camels  in  abundance,  and  returned 
to  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

CHAPTER  15. 

1 Asa's  solemn  covenant  with  God.  16  He  putteth  down 

Maachah  his  mother  for  her  idolatry.  18  He  bringeth 

dedicate  things  into  the  house  of  God,  and  enjoyeth  a 

long  peace. 

AND  Rhe  Spirit  of  God  came  upon 
XjL  Az-a-ri-ah  the  son  of  0-ded  : 

2 And  he  went  out  ® to  meet  A-sa, 
and  said  unto  him.  Hear  ye  me, 
A-sa,  and  all  Ju^dah  and  B6n-ja- 
min ; ^ The  Lord  is  with  you,  while 
ye  be  with  him ; and  ^ if  ye  seek 
him,  he  will  be  found  of  you ; but 
’"if  ye  forsake  him,  he  will  forsake 
you. 

3 Now  ’‘for  a long  season  Is-ra-6l 
hath  been  without  the  true  God, 
and  without " a teaching  priest,  and 
without  law. 

4 But  ^’when  they  in  their  trouble 
did  turn  unto  the  Lord  God  of  Is- 
ra-el,  and  sought  him,  he  was  found 
of  them. 

5 And  5'in  those  times  there  was 
no  peace  to  him  that  went  out,  nor 
to  nim  that  came  in,  but  great 
vexations  were  upon  all  the  inhab- 
itants of  the  countries. 

6 ’^And  nation  was  destroyed  of 
nation,  and  city  of  city : for  God 
did  vex  them  with  all  adversity. 

7 Be  ye  strong  therefore,  and  let 
not  your  hands  be  weak : for  your 
work  shall  be  rewarded. 

8 And  when  A-sa  heard  these 
words,  and  the  prophecy  of  O-ded 
the  prophet,  he  took  courage,  and 
put  away  the  ^abominable  idols  out 
of  all  the  land  of  Ju-dah  and  Ben- 
ja-min,  and  out  of  the  cities  ^ which 
he  had  taken  from  mount  E-phra- 
im,  and  renewed  the  altar  of  the 
Lord,  that  was  before  the  porch  of 
the  Lord. 

9 And  he  gathered  all  J u-dah  and

Bgn-ja-min,  and  “the  strangers  with 
them  out  of  E-phra-im  and  Ma-nas- 
seh,  and  out  of  Sim-6-5n : for  they 
fell  to  him  out  of  Is-ra-el  in  abun- 
dance, when  they  saw  that  the 
Loed  his  God  was  with  him. 

10  So  they,  gathered  themselves 
together  at  Je-ru-sa-lem  in  the  third 
month,  in  the  fifteenth  year  of  the 
reign  of  A-sa. 

1 1 *And  they  offered  unto  the  Loed 
^the  same  time,  of  ®the  spoil  which 
they  had  brought,  seven  hundred 
oxen  and  seven  thousand  sheep. 

12  And  they  entered  into  a cov- 
enant to  seek  the  Loed  God  of 
their  fathers  with  all  their  heart 
and  with  all  their  soul ; 

13  ® That  whosoever  would  not  seek 
the  Loed  God  of  Is-ra-el  -^should  be 
put  to  death,  whether  small  or 
great,  whether  man  or  woman. 

14  And  they  sware  unto  the  Loed 
with  a loud  voice,  and  with  shout- 
ing, and  with  trumpets,  and  with 
cornets. 

15  And  all  Ju-dah  rejoiced  at  the 
oath : for  they  had  sworn  with  all 
their  heart,  and  * sought  him  with 
their  whole  desire ; and  he  was 
found  of  them : and  the  Loed  gave 
them  rest  round  about. 

16  U And  also  concerning  ^Ma-a- 
■ehah  the  ^ mother  of  A-sa  the  king, 
he  removed  her  from  being  queen, 
because  she  had  made  an  ® idol  in  a 
grove  ; and  A-sa  cut  down  her  idol, 
and  stamped  it,  and  burnt  it  at  the 
brook  Kid-rdn. 

17  But  “the  high  places  were  not 
taken  away  out  of  Is^ra-6l : never- 
theless the  heart  of  A-sa  was  per- 
fect all  his  days. 

18  ^ And  he  brought  into  the 
house  of  God  the  things  that  his 
father  had  dedicated,  and  that  he 
himself  had  dedicated,  silver,  and 
gold,  and  vessels. 

19  And  there  was  no  more  war 
unto  the  five  and  thirtieth  year  of 
the  reign  of  A-sa.

the  seer  came  to  A-sa  king  of  Ju- 
dah, and  said  unto  him,  Because 
thou  hast  relied  on  the  king  of 
Syr4-a,  and  not  relied  on  the  Loed 
thy  God,  therefore  is  the  host  of 
the  king  of  Syr4-a  escaped  out  of 
thine  hand. 

8 Were  not  *the  E-thi-o-pi-ans  and 
"“the  Lu-bims  ^a  huge  host,  with  very 
many  chariots  and  horsemen  % yet, 
because  thou  didst  rely  on  the 
Loed,  he  delivered  them  into  thine 
hand. 

9 “For  the  eyes  of  the  Loed  run 
to  and  fro  throughout  the  whole 
earth,  ®to  shew  himself  strong  in 
the  behalf  of  them  whose  heart  is 
perfect  toward  him.  Herein  ^thou 
hast  done  foolishly : therefore  from 
henceforth  J?  thou  shalt  have  wars. 

10  Then  A-sa  was  wroth  with  the 
seer,  and  ""put  him  in  a prison 
house;  for  he  was  in  a rage  with 
him  because  of  this  thing.  And 
A-sa  oppressed  some  of  the  people 
the  same  time. 

11  ^ *And,  behold,  the  acts  of  A-sa, 
first  and  last,  lo,  they  are  written 
in  the  book  of  the  kings  of  Ju-dah 
and  Is-ra-6l. 

12  And  A-sa  in  the  thirty  and 
ninth  year  of  his  reign  was  diseased 
in  his  feet,  until  his  disease  was 
exceeding  great : yet  in  his  disease 
he  ^sought  not  to  the  Loed,  but  to 
the  physicians^ 

13  H ^And  A-sa  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  died  in  the  one  and 
fortieth  year  of  his  reign. 

14  And  they  buried  him  in  his 
own  sepulchres,  which  he  had 
®made  for  himself  in  the  city  of 
Da-vid.  and  laid  him  in  the  bed

CHAPTER  17. 

1 Jehoshaphat,  succeeding  Asa,  reigneth  well.  Hesendeth 

Levites  with  the  princes  to  teach  in  Judah.  10  Some  of 

his  enemies  bring  him  presents  amd  tribute.  12  Bis 

greatness,  captains,  and  armies. 

AND  Je-h5sh-a-phat  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead,  and 
strengthened  himself  against  Is- 
ra-el. 

2 And  he  placed  forces  in  all  the 
fenced  cities  of  Ju-dah,  and  set  gar- 
risons in  the  land  of  Ju-dah,  and  in 
the  cities  of  E-phra-im,  ‘^which  A-sa 
his  father  had  taken. 

3 And  the  Loed  was  with  Je-h6sh- 
a-phat,  because  he  walked  in  the 
first  ways  ^ of  his  father  Da-vid,  and 
sought  not  unto  Ba-al-im  ; 

4 But  sought  to  the  Lord  God  of 
his  father,  and  walked  in  his  com- 
mandments, and  not  after  -^the  do- 
ings of  Is-ra-el. 

5 Therefore  the  Loed  stablished 
the  kingdom  in  his  hand ; and  all 
Ju-dah  brought"*  to  JAhOsh-a-phat 
presents;  '"and  he  had  riches  and 
honour  in  abundance. 

6 And  his  heart  ®was  lifted  up  in 
the  ways  of  the  Loed  : moreover 
*he  took  away  the  high  places  and 
groves  out  of  J u-dah. 

7 ^1  Also  in  the  third  year  of  his 
reign  he  sent  to  his  princes,  even 
to  Ben-hahl,  and  to  O-ba-di-ah,  and 
to  Zeeh-a-rl-ah,  and  to  NAthan-e-el, 
and  to  Mi--eha-iah,  ”^to  teach  in  the 
cities  of  Ju-dah. 

8 And  with  them  he  sent  LAvites, 
even  She-mahah,  and  Neth-a-ni-ah, 
and  Zeb-a-di-ah,  and  A-sa-hel,  and 
She-mir-a-rnOth,  and  JAhCn-a-than, 
and  Ad-C-m-jah,  and  T6-bl-jah,  and 
T5b-ad;6-ni-jah,  Le-vites ; and  with 
them  E-lish-a-ma  and  JAho-ram, 
priests. 

9 ^And  they  taught  in  Ju-dah,  and 
had  the_  book  of  the  law  of  the 
Loed  with  them,  and  went  about 
throughout  all  the  cities  of  J u-dah, 
and  taught  the  people. 

10  ^ And  ^the  fear  of  the  Loed 
'^fell  upon  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
lands  tnat  were  round  about  Ju-dah, 
so  that  they  made  no  war  against 
J e-h5sh-a-phat. 

11  Also  sovie  of  the  Phi-lis-tines 
"brought  Je-h5sh-a-phat  presents, 
and  tribute  silver ; and  the  A-ra- 
bi-ans  brought  him  flocks,  seven 
thousand  and  seven  hundred  rams,

the  cities  of  Ju-dS,h : and  the  men

CHAPTER  18. 

1 Jehoshaphat  and  Ahab  go  against  Ramoth-gilead.  4 
Ahab,  seduced  by  false  prophets,  according  to  the  word 
of  Micaiah,  is  slain  there. 

“^TOW  Je-h5sh-a-phat  *had  riches 
JaI  and  honour  in  abundance,  and 
” joined  affinity  with  AJ-hab. 

2  ®And  ® after  certain  years  he 
went  down  to  Affiab  to  Sa-ma-ri-a. 
And  Affiab  killed  sheep  and  oxen 
for  him  in  abundance,  and  for  the 
people  that  he  had  with  him,  and 
persuaded  him  to  go  up  with  him 
to  Ra-m5th-gil-e-ad. 

3  And  Affiab  king  of  Is-ra-el  said 
unto  JAhOsh-a-phat  king  of  Ju-dah, 
Wilt  thou  go  with  me  to  Rahn5th- 
gil-6-ad  1 And  he  answered  him,  I 
am  as  thou  art,  and  mj  people  as 
thy  people;  and  we  will  be  with 
thee  in  the  war. 

4  ^ And  JAh5sh-a-phat  said  unto 
the  king  of  Is-ra-6l,  ’’Enquire,  I 
pray  thee,  at  the  word  of  the  Loed 
to  day.  , .. 

5  Therefore  the  king  of  Is-ra-el 
gathered  together  of  prophets  four 
hundred  men,  and  said  unto  them. 
Shall  we  go  to  Ra-mhth-giT6-ad 
to  battle,  or  shall  I forbear  'I  And 
they  said.  Go  up ; for  God  will  de- 
liver it  into  the  king’s  hand.

unto  Je-h6sh-a-phat,  There  is  yet 
one  man,  by  whom  we  may  enquire 
of  the  Lord  : but  I hate  him ; for 
he  never  prophesied  good  unto  me,

9 And  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  and 
Je-h6sh-a-phat  king  of  Ju-dah  sat 
either  of  them  on  his  throne, 
clothed  in  their  robes,  and  they  sat 
in  a ^void  place  at  the,  entering  in 
of  the  gate  of  Sa-rua-ri-a ; and  all  the 
prophets  prophesied  before  them. 

10  And  Zed-e-ki-ah  the  son  of 
Ch6-na-a-nah  had  made  him  horns 
of  iron,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  With  these  thou  shalt  push 
Syru-a  until  ^they  be  consumed. 

1 1 And  all  the  prophets  prophesied 
so,  saying.  Go  up  to  Ra-mOth-gil- 
e-ad,  and  prosper : for  the  Lord 
shall  deliver  it  into  the  hand  of  the 
king. 

12  And  the  messenger  that  went 
to  call  Mi-ea-iah  spake  to  him,  say- 
ing, Behold,  the  words  of  the  pro- 
phets declare  good  to  the  king  ®with 
one  assent ; let  thy  word  therefore, 
I pray  thee,  be  like  one  of  their ’s, 
and  speak  thou  good. 

13  And  Mi-ea-iah  said.  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  ^even  what  my  God 
saith,  that  will  I speak. 

14  And  when  he  was  come  to  the 
king,  the  king  said  unto  him,  Mi- 
■eadah,  shall  we  go  to  Ra-m5th-gil- 
6-ad  to  battle,  or  shall  I forbear'? 
And  he  said.  Go  ye  up,  and  pros- 
per, and  they  shall  be  delivered 
into  your  hand. 

15  And  the  king  said  to  him.  How 
many  times  shall  I adjure  thee  that 
thou  say  nothing  but  the  truth  to 
me  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  ? 

16  Then  he  said,  I did  see  all  Is-

as  sheep  that  have  no  shepherd  :

master;  let  them  return  therefore

entice  A-hab  king  of  Is-ra-el,  that 
he  may  go  up  and  fall  at  Ra-mOth- 
gil-e-ad?  And  one  spake  saying 
after  this  manner,  and  another  say- 
ing after  that  manner. 

20  Then  there  came  out  a spirit, 
and  stood  before  the  Lord,  and 
said,  I will  entice  him.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  him,  Wherewith? 

2 1 And  he  said,  I will  go  out,  and 
be  a lying  spirit  in  the  mouth  of 
all  his  prophets.  And  the  Lord 
said.  Thou  shalt  entice  him,  and 
thou  shalt  also  prevail : go  out,  and 
do  even  so. 

22  Now  therefore,  behold,  ^the 
Lord  hath  put  a lying  spirit  in  the 
mouth  of  tnese  thy  prophets,  and 
the  Lord  hath  spoken  evil  against 
thee. 

23  Then  Zed-e-ki-ah  the  son  of 
Che-na-a-nah  came  near,  and  ‘'smote 
Mi-ea-iah  upon  the  cheek,  and  said. 
Which  way  went  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  from  me  to  speak  unto  thee  ? 

24  And  Ml-ea-iah  said.  Behold, 
thou  shalt  see  on  that  day  when 
thou  shalt  go  ®into  ^an  inner  cham- 
ber to  hide  thyself. 

25  Then  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  said, 
Take  ye_Mi-eadah,  and  carry  him 
back  to  AbnOn  the  governor  of  the 
city,  and  to  Jo-ash  the  king’s  son; 

26  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  king, 
‘^Put  this  fellow  in  the  prison,  and 
feed  him  with  bread  of  _ affliction 
and  with  water  of  affliction,  until 
I return  in  peace. 

27  And  Ml-cabah  said.  If  thou 
certainly  return  in  peace,  then  hath 
not  the  Lord  spoken  by  me.  And 
he  said.  Hearken,  all  people. 

28  So  the  king  of  Is-ra-el_  and 
JAh6sh-a-phat  the  king  of  Ju-dah 
went  up  to  Ra-m5th-gil-e-ad. 

29  And  the  king  of  Is-ra-el  said 
unto  Je-h5sh-a-phat,  I will  disguise 
myself,  and  will  go  to  the  battle; 
but  put  thou  on  thy  robes.  So  the 
king  of  Is-ra-el  disguised  himself; 
and  they  went  to  the  battle. 

30  Now  the  king  of  Syr-i-a  had 
commanded  the  captains  of  the 
chariots  that  were  with  him,  saying. 
Fight  ye  not  with  small  or  great, 
save  only  with  the  king  of  Is-ra-6l. 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
captains  of  the  chariots  saw  Je- 
hOsh-a-phat,  that  they  said.  It  is 
the  king  of  ls-ra-6l.  Therefore  they 
compassed  about  him  to  fight : but 
Je-hosh-a-phat  cried  out,  and  the 
Lord  helped  him ; and  God  moved 
them  to  depart  from  him.

32  For  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
the  captains  of  the  chariots  per- 
ceived that  it  was  not  the  king  of 
Is-ra-el,  they  turned  back  again 
^from  pursuing  him. 

33  And  a certain  man  drew  a bow 
^at  a venture,  and  smote  the  king 
of  Is-ra-el  ^between  the  joints  of  the 
harness : therefore  he  said  to  his 
chariot  man,  Turn  thine  hand,  that 
thou  mayest  carry  me  out  of  the 
host;  for  I am  ^wounded. 

34  And  the  battle  increased  that 
day : howbeit  the  king  of  Is-ra-el 
stayed  himself  up  in  his  chariot 
against  the  Syr-i-ans  until  the  even : 
and  about  the  time  of  the  sun  going 
down  he  died.

5 His  instructimu  to  the  judges,  8 awd  to  the  priests  and 

Levites. 

AND  Je-hosh-a-phat  the  king  of 
Ju-dah  returned  to  his  house 
in  peace  to  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

2 And  Je-hu  the  son  of  Ha-na-ni 
"the  seer  went  out  to  meet  him, 
and  said  to  king  J Ahosh-a-phat, 
Shouldest  thou  help  the  ungodly, 
and  ^love  them  that  nate  the  Lord'? 
therefore  is  wrath  upon  thee  from 
before  the  Lord. 

3 Nevertheless  there  are  ^good 
things  found  in  thee,  in  that  thou 
hast  taken  away  the  groves  out  of 
the  land,  and  hast  * prepared  thine 
heart  to  seek  God. 

4 And  Je-h(3sh-a-phat  dwelt  at  JA 
ru-sa-lem:  and  ’^he  went  out  again 
through  the  people  from  Be-er- 
she-ba  to  mount  E-phra-im,  and 
brought  them  back  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers. 

5 H And  he  set  judges  in  the  land 
throughout  all  the  fenced  cities  of 
Ju-dah,  city  by  city, 

6 And  said  to  the  judges.  Take 
heed  what  ye  do:  for  "ye  judge 
not  for  man,  ‘but  for  the  Lord, 
«who  is  with  you  ®in  the  judgment. 

7 Wherefore  now  let  the  fear  of 
the  Lord  be  upon  you ; take  heed 
and  do  it:  for  * there  is  no  iniquity 
with  the  Lord  our  God,  nor  “respect 
of  persons,  nor  taking  of  gifts. 

8 H Moreover  in  JAru-sa-lem  did 
Je-h5sh-a-phat  ®set  of  the  Le-vites, 
and  of  the  priests,  and  of  the  chief 
of  the  fathers  of  Is-ra-6l,  for  the 
judgment  of  the  Lord,  and  for  con- 
troversies, when  they  returned  to 
JAru-sa-lem. 

9 And  he  charged  them,  saying,  Thus 
shall  ye  do  "in  the  fear  of  the  Lord 
faithfully,  and  with  a perfect  heart.

CHAPTER  20. 

1 Jeheshaphat  in  his  fear  proclaimeth  a fast.  5 Bisprayer. 
14  The  prophecy  of  Jahaziel.  22  The  overthrow  of  Jehosh- 
aphat's  enemies.  26  The  people  exult.  37  His  convoy  of 
ships  destroyed. 

IT  came  to  pass  after  this  also, 
that  the  children  of  Mo-ab,  and 
the  children  of  Am-mCn,  and  with 
them  beside  the  Am-mOn-ites, 
came  against  J e-hosh-a-phat  to 
battle. 

2  Then  there  came  some  that  told 
Je-h5sh-a-phat,  saying.  There  com- 
eth  a great  multitude  against  thee 
from  beyond  the  sea  on  this  side 
Syr4-a;  and,  behold,  they  he  Gn 
Haz-a-z5n-ta-mar,  which  is  *En- 
ge-di. 

3  And  Je-h6sh-a-phat  feared,  and 
set  “himself  to  ’“seek  the  Lord,  and 
“proclaimed  a fast  throughout  all 
Ju-dah. 

4  And  Ju-dah  gathered  themselves 
together,  to  ask  help  of  the  Lord  : 
even  out  of  all  the  cities  of  Ju-dah 
they  came  to  seek  the  Lord. 

5  ^ And  Je-h5sh-a-phat^  stood  in 
the  congregation  of  Ju-dah  and 
Je-ru-sa-lem,  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  before  the  new  court, 

6  And  said,  O Lord  God  of  our 
fathers,  art  not  thou  ^God  in  heav- 
en"?  and  ’’rulest  not  thou  over  all 
the  kingdoms  of  the  heathen  ? and 
Gn  thine  hand  is  there  not  power 
and  might,  so  that  none  is  able  to 
withstand  thee '?  r-,  -i  a i 

7  Art  not  thou  *our  God,  "^who 
^ didst  drive  out  the  inhabitants  of 
this  land  before  thy  people  IshA-el, 
and  gavest  it  to  the  seed  of  A-bra- 
ham  “thy  friend  for  ever  ? 

8  And  they  dwelt  therein,  and 
have  built  thee  a sanctuary  therein 
for  thy  name,  saying, 

9  ^If,  when  evil  cometh  upon  us, 
as  the  sword,  judgment,  or  pesti- 
lence, or  famine,  we  stand  before 
this  house,  and  in  thy  presence, 
(for  thy  "name  is  in  this  house,) 


JahazieVs  prophecy.  II.  CHRONICLES,  20.  Enemies  overthrown* 


and  cry  unto  thee  in  our  affliction, 
then  thou  wilt  hear  and  help. 

10  And  now,  behold,  the  children 
of  Am-mOn  and  Mo-ab  and  mount 
Se-ir,  whom  thou  ^wouldest  not  let 
Is-ra-el  invade,  when  they  came 
out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  but 
Hhey  turned  from  them,  and  de- 
stroyed them  not; 

1 1 Behold,  I say,  how  they  reward 
us,  ^to  come  to  cast  us  out  of  thy 
possession,  which  thou  hast  given 
us  to  inherit. 

12  0 our  God,  wilt  thou  not  judge 
them  \ for  we  have  no  might  against 
this  great  company  that  cometh 
against  us  ; neither  know  we  what 
to  do : but  ^our  eyes  are  upon  thee. 

13  And  all  Ju-dah  stood  before 
the  Lord,  with  their  little  ones,  their 
wives,  and  their  children. 

14  H Then  upon  Ja-ha-zi-ffl  the  son 
of  Z6eh-a-ri-ah,  the  son  of  Be-na-iah, 
the  son  of  JAi-el,  the  son  of  Mat-ta- 
ni-ah,  a Le-vite  of  the  sons  of  A^saph, 
*came  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  in  the 
midst  of  the  congregation ; 

15  And  he  said,  Hearken  ye,  all 
Ju-dah,  and  ye  inhabitants  of  Je- 
ru-sa-lem,  and  thou  king  Je-h5sh-a- 
phat,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  unto  you, 
*Be  not  afraid  nor  dismayed  by 
reason  of  this  great  multitude ; for 
the  battle  is  not  your’s,  but  God’s. 

16  To  morrow  go  ye  down  against 
them : behold,  they  come  up  by  the 
’cliff  of  Ziz  ; and  ve  shall  find  them 
at  the  end  of  the  ^brook,  before  the 
wilderness  of  JAru-ffl. 

17  mYe  shall  not  need  to  fight  in 
this  battle : set  yourselves,  stand  ye 
still,  and  see  the  salvation  of  the 
Lord  with  you,  O Ju-dah  and  Je- 
ru-sa-l6m:  fear  not,  nor  be  dis- 
mayed; to  morrow  go  out  against 
them : ” for  the  Lord  will  he  with 
you. 

18  And  Je-h5sh-a-phat  ^ bowed  his 
head  with  his  face  to  the  ground : 
and  all  Ju-dah  and  the  inhabitants 
of  JAru-sa-l6m  fell  before  the  Lord, 
worshipping  the  Lord.  . 

19  And  the  Le-vites,  _of  the  chil- 
dren pf  the  Ko-hath-ites,  and  of 
the  children  of  the  Kdr-hites,  stood 
up  to  praise  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra- 
61  with  a loud  voice  on  high.  ^ 

20  H And  they  rose  early  in  the 
morning,  and  went  forth  into  the 
wilderness  of  T6-ko-a : and  as  they 
went  fortln  Je-h5sh-a-phat  stood 
and  said^  Hear  mej  O Ju-dah  and 
ye  inhabitants  of  Je-ru-sa-lem  ; -Be- 
lieve in  the  Lord  your  God,  so  shall 
ye  be  established ; believe  his  pro- 
phets, so  shall  ye  prosper.

the  people,  he  appointed  singers  un- 
to the  Lord,  “ancTffhat  should  praise 
the  beauty  of  holiness,  as  they  went 
out  before  the  army,  and  to  say, 

® Praise  the  Lord;  ‘^lor  his  mercy 
endureth  for  ever. 

22  U ^And  when  they  began  ®to 
sing  and  to  praise,  •'’the  Lord  set 
ambushments  against  the  children 
of  Am-mOn,  Mo-ab,  and  mount 
Se4r,  which  were  come  against 
Ju-dah;  and  '^they  were  smitten. 

23  For  the  children  of  Am-m5n 
and  Mo-ab  stood  up  against  the 
inhabitants  of  mount  Sedr,  utterly 
to  slay  and  destroy  them:  and  when 
they  had  made  an  end  of  the  in- 
habitants of  Se4r,  every  one  helped 
^to  destroy  another. 

24  And  when  Ju-dah  came  toward 
the  watch  tower  in  the  wilderness, 
they  looked  unto  the  multitude, 
and,  behold,  they  ivere  dead  bodies 
fallen  to  the  earth,  and  ®none  es- 
caped. 

25  And  when  Je-h6sh-a-phat  and 
his  people  came  to  take  away  the 
spoil  or  them,  they  found  among 
tnefn  in  abundance  both  riches 
with  the  dead  bodies,  and  precious 
jewels,  which  they  stripped  off  for 
themselves,  more  than  they  could 
carry  away : and  they  were  three 
days  in  gathering  of  the  spoil,  it 
was  so  much. 

26  II  And  on  the  fourth  day  they 
assembled  themselves  in  the  valley 
of  ^Ber-a-^hah ; for  there  they  blessed 
the  Lord  : therefore  the  name  of  the 
same  place  was  called,  The  valley 
of  Ber-a-£:hah,  unto  this  day. 

27  Then  they  returned,  every  man 
of  Ja-dah  and  J6-ru-sa-l6m,  and  Je- 
h5sh-a-phat  in  the  ^ forefront  of 
them,  to  go  again  to  Je-ru-sa-lem 
with  joy ; for  the  Lord  had  ° made 
them  to  rejoice  over  their  enemies. 

28  And  they  came  to  Je-ru-sa-lem 
with  psalteries  and  harps  and  trum- 
pets unto  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

29  And  '^the  fear  of  God  was  on 
all  the  kingdoms  of  those  countries, 
when  they  had  heard  that  the 
Lord  fought  against  the  enemies 
of  Is-ra-el. 

30  So  the  realm  of  Je-h6sh-a-phat 
was  quiet : for  his  God  gave  him 
rest  round  about. 

31  ^ ' And  Je-h5sh-a-phat  reigned 
over  Ju-dah  : he  was  thirty  and  five 
years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  twenty  and  five 
years  in  Je-ru-sa-lem.  And  his 
mother’s  name  was  A-zu-bah  the 
daughter  of  Shil-hi. 

32  And  he  walked  in  the  way  of 
A-sa  his  father,  and  departed  not

from  it,  doing  that  which  was  right 
in  the  sight  or  the  Loed. 

33  Howbeit  “the  high  places  were 
not  taken  away;  for  as  yet  the  peo- 
ple had  not  ‘^prepared  their  hearts 
unto  the  God  of  their  fathers. 

34  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jc- 
h5sh-a-phat,  first  and  last,  behold, 
they  are  written  in  the  ^book  or 
Je-hu  the  son  of  Ha-na-nl,  ®who  ^is 
mentioned  in  the  book  of  the  kings 
of  Is-ra-el. 

35  U And  after  this  -^did  JAhSsh- 
a-phat  king  of  Ju-dah  join  himself 
with  A-ha-zi-ah  king  of  Is-ra-el,  who 
did  very  wickedly : 

36  ^And  he  joined  himself  with 
him  to  make  ships  to  go  to  Tar- 
shish:  and  they  made  the  ships  in 
E-zi-5n-gad3er. 

37  Then  E-li-e-zer  the  son  of  D6d- 
a-vah  of  Ma- re -shah  prophesied 
against  Je-h6sh-a-phat,  saying,  Be- 
cause thou  hast  joined  thyself  with 
A-ha-zi-ah,  the  Lord  hath  broken 
thy  works.  ^And  the  ships  were 
broken,  that  they  were  not  able  to 
go  Ho  Tar-shish.

5 His  vAcTted  reign.  12  The  prophecy  of  Elijah  against 

him.  18  His  incurable  disease. 

I^OW  *Je-h5sh-a-phat  slept  with 
lAI  his  fathers,  and  was  buried 
with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da- 
vid. And  J AhoHam  his  son  '^reigned 
in  his  stead. 

2 And  he  had  brethren  the  sons 
of  J6-h5sh-a-phat,  Az-a-ri-ah,  and 
Je-hi-el,  and  Zech-a-ri-ah,  and  Az- 
a-ri-ah,  and  Mi-cha-el,  and  Sheph- 
a-ti-ah : all  these  were  the  sons  of 
JAh5sh-a-i)hat  king  of  IsHa-el. 

3 And  their  father  gave  them  great 
gifts^  of  silver,  and  of  gold,  and  of 
precious  things,  with  fenced  cities 
in  Ju-dah:  but  the  kingdom  gave 
he  to  ^JAhoHam;  because  he  was 
the  firstborn. 

4 Now  when  Je-hoHam  was  risen 
up  to  the  kingdom  of  his  father,  he 
strengthened  himself,  and  slew  all 
his  brethren  with  the  sword,  and 
divers  also  of  the  princes  of  IsHa-61. 

5 II  ^Je-hoHam  was  thirty  and  two 
years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  eight  years  in  JA 
ru-sa-l6m. 

6 And  he  walked  in  the  way  of 
the  kings  of  lsHa-6l,  like  as  did  the 
house  of  A-hab:  for  he  had  the 
daughter  of  “ Adiab  to  wife : and 
he  wrought  that  which  was  evil  in 
the  eyes  of  the  Lord. 

7 Howbeit  the  Lord  would  not 
destroy  the  house  of  Da-vid,  be- 
cause of  the  covenant  that  he  had

8 H ‘’In  his  days  the  E-dbm-Ites 
revolted  from  under  the  ^dominion 
of  Ju-dah,  and  made  themselves  a 
king. 

9 Then  JAhoHam  went  forth  with 
his  princes,  and  all  his  chariots 
with  him:  and  he  rose  up  by  night, 
and  smote  the  E-d6m-ites  which 
compassed  him  in,  and  the  cap- 
tains of  the  chariots. 

10  So  the  E-d5m-ites  revolted  from 
under  the  hand  of  Ju-dah  unto  this 
day.  The  same  time  did  Lib- 
nah  revolt  from  under  his  hand ; 
because  he  had  forsaken  the  Lord 
God  of  his  fathers. 

1 1 Moreover  he  made  high  places 
in  the  mountains  of  Ju-dah,  and 
caused  the  inhabitants  of  J Aru-sa 
l6m  to  ^'cornmit  fornication,  and 
comp^elled  Ju-dah  thereto. 

12  ^ And  there  came  a ® writing  tci 
him  from  E-li-jah  the  prophet,  say 
ing,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Da-vid  thy  father.  Because  thou 
hast  not  walked  in  the  ways  of 
Jg-hbsh-a-phat  thy  father,  nor  in 
the  ways  of  A-sa  king  of  Ju-dah, 

1 3 But  hast  walked  in  the  way  of 
the  kings  of  IsHAel,  and  hast  ^made 
Ju-dah  and  the  inhabitants  9f  JA 
ru-sa-l6m  to  ”*go  a whoring,  like  to 
the  ’^whoredoms  of  the  house  of 
A-hab,  and  also  hast  ° slain  thy 
brethren  of  thy  father’s  house, 
which  were  better  than  thyself ; 

14  Behold,  with  ®a  great  plague 
will  the  Lord  smite  thy  people, 
and  thy  children,  and  thy  wives, 
and  all  thy  goods : 

1 5 And  thou  shalt  have  great  sick- 
ness by  ^disease  of  thy  bowels,  un- 
til thy  bowels  fall  out  by  reason  of 
the  sickness  day  by  day. 

1 6 H Moreover  the  Lord  s' stirred  up 
against  Je-hoHam  the  spirit  of  the 
Phi-lisHines,  and  of  the  A-ra-bi-ans, 
that  wef'e  near  the  E-thi-o-pi-ans : 

17  And  they  came  up  into  Ju-dah. 
and  brake  into  it,  and  ^carried 
away  all  the  substance  that  was 
found  in  the  king’s  house,  and 
®his  sons  also,  and  his  wives ; so 
that  there  was  never  a son  left  him, 
save  ^Je-ho-a-haz,  the  youngest  of 
his  sons. 

18  ^ ^And  after  all  this  the  Lord 
smote  him  Rn  his  bowels  with  an 
incurable  disease. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in 
process  of  time,  after  the  end  of 
two  years,  his  bowels  fell  out  by 
reason  of  his  sickness : so  he  died 
of  sore  diseases.  And  his  people

burning  of  his  fathers. 

20  Thirty  and  two  years  old  was 
he  when  he  began  to  reign,  and  he 
reigned  in  Jg-ru-sa-lem  eight  years, 
and  departed  ^without  being  de- 
sired. Howbeit  they  buried  him

AND  the  inhabitants  of  JAru-sa- 
lem  made  ®A-ha-zi-ah  his 
youngest  son  king  in  his  stead  : for 
the  band  of  men  that  came  with 
the  A-ra-bi-ans  to  the  camp  had 
slain  all  the  -^eldest.  So  A-ha-zi-ah 
the  son  of  Je-ho-ram  king  of  Ju- 
dah reigned. 

2 ^ Forty  and  two  years  old  was 
A-ha-zi-ah  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  one  year  in  Je-ru- 
sa-lem.  His  mother’s  name  also  was 
'"Ath-a-li-ah  the  daughter  of  Om-ri. 

3 He  also  walked  in  the  ways  of 
the  house  of  A-hab : for  his  mother 
was  his  counsellor  to  do  wickedly. 

4 Wherefore  he  did  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord  like  the  house  of 
Adiab : for  they  were  his  counsel- 
lors after  the  death  of  his  father  to 
his  destruction. 

5 ^ He  walked  als9  after  their 
counsel,  and  ^went  with  Je-ho-ram 
the  son  of  A-hab  king  of  Is-ra-el  to 
war  against  Haz-a-el  king  of  Syr- 
i-a  at  Ra-mbth-giTe-ad : and  the 
Syr4-ans  smote  Jo-ram. 

6 ^And  he  returned  to  be  healed 
in  Jez-re-el  because  of  the  wounds 
^ which  were  given  him  at  Rabnah, 
when  he  fought  with  Haz-a-el  king 
of  Syr-i-a.  And  ^Az-a-ri-ah  the  son 
of  Je-ho-ram  king  of  Ju-dah  went 
down  to  see  JAho-ram  the  son  of 
A-hab  at  J6z-re-el,  because  he  was 
sick. 

7 And  the  ^destruction  of  A-ha-zi- 
ah  ”was  of  God  by  coming  to  Jo- 
ram  : for  when  he  was  come,  he 
^went  out  with  JAho-rain  against 
Je-hu  the  son  of  Nim-shi,  «'whom 
the  Lord  had  anointed  to  cut  off 
the  house  of  A-hab. 

8 And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
Je-hu  was ’’executing  judgment  up- 
on the  house  of  _A-hab,  and  *found 
the  princes  of  Ju-dah,  and  the  sons 
of  the  brethren  of  A-ha-zi-ah,  that 
ministered  to  A-hS,-zi-ah,  he  slew 
them. 

9 “And  he  sought  A-ha-zi-ah  : and 
they  caught  him,  (for  he  was  hid 
in  Sa-ma-ri-a,)  and  brought  him  to 
JAhu:  and  when  they  had  slain

him,  they  buried  him : Because, 
said  they,  he  is  the  son  of  J e-hbsh- 
a-phat,  who  * sought  the  Lord  with 
all  his  heart.  So  the  house  of  A- 
ha-zi-ah  had  no  power  to  keep  still 
the  kingdom. 

10  II  ®But  when  Ath-a-lTah  the 
mother  of  A-ha-zi-ah  saw  that  her 
son  was  dead,  she  arose  and  de- 
stroyed all  the  seed  royal  of  the 
house  of  Ju-dah. 

11  But  Je-h6-shab-e-ath,  _ the 
daughter  of  the  king,  took  Jo-ash 
the  son  of  A-ha-zi-ah,  and  stole  him 
from  among  the  king’s  sons  that 
were  slain,  and  put  him  and  his 
nurse  in  a bedchamber.  So  Je- 
h6-shab-e-ath,  the  daughter  of  king 
JAho-ram,  the  wife  of  JAhoi-a-da 
the  priest,  (for  she  was  the  sister 
of  A-ha-zi-ah,)  hid  him  from  Ath-a- 
li-ah,  so  that  she  slew  him  not._ 

12  And  he  was  with  them  hid  in 
the  house  of  God  six  years:  and 
Ath-a-li-ah  reigned  over  the  land. 

CHAPTER  23. 

1 Jehoiada,  having  set  things  in  order,  maketh  Joash  king. 
12  Athaliah  is  slain.  16  Jehoiada  restoreth  the  worship 
of  God. 

And  bn  the  seventh  year  Je-hoi- 
a-da  strengthened  himself,  and 
took  the  captains  of  hundreds,  Az- 
a-ri-ah  the  son  of  Jer-6-hani,  and 
Ish-ma-el  the  son  of  Je-h6-ha-nan, 
and  Az-a-ri-ah  the  son  of  0-bed, 
and  Ma-a-sebah  the  son  of  A-dabah, 
and  E-lish-a-phat  the  son  of  Ziehbi, 
into  covenant  with  him. 

2 And  they  went  about  in  Ju-dah, 
and  gathered  the  Le-vites  out  of  all 
the  cities  of  Ju-dah,  and  the  chief 
of  the  fathers  of  Isba-el,  and  they 
came  to  Je-ru-sAlem. 

3 And  all  the  congregation  made 
a covenant  with  the  king  in  the 
house  of  (Jod.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  Behold,  the  king’s  son  shall 
reign,  as  the  Lord  hath  ’“said  of  the 
sons  of  Da-vid. 

4 This  is  the  thing  that  ye  shall 
do ; A third  part  of  you  "entering 
on  the  sabbath,  of  the  priests  and 
of  the  LeVites,  shall  be  porters  of 
the  ® doors ; 

5 And  a third  part  shall  he  at  the 
king’s  house ; and  a third  part  at 
the  gate  of  the  foundation  : and  all 
the  people  shall  he  in  the  courts  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

6 But  let  none  come  into  the  house 
of  the  Lord,_  save  the  priests,_and 
‘they  that  minister  of  the  Le-vites ; 
they  shall  go  in,  for  they  are  holy  . 
but  all  the  people  shall  keep  the 
watch  of  the  Lord. 

7 And  the  Le-vites  shall  compass 
the  king  round  about,  every  man 


hash  made  king.  II.  CHRONICLES,  24.  His  good  reign. 


with  his  weapons  in  his  hand ; and 
whosoever  else  cometh  into  the 
house,  he  shall  be  put  to  death  : 
but  be  ye  with  the  king  when  he 
cometh  in,  and  when  he  goeth  out. 

8 So  the  Le-vites  and  all  Ju-dah 
did  according  to  all  things  that  Je- 
hoi-a-da  the  priest  had  commanded, 
and  took  every  man  his  men  that 
were  to  come  in  on  the  sabbath, 
with  them  that  were  to  go  out  on 
the  sabbath : for  Je-hoi-a-da  the 
priest  dismissed  not  ‘^the  courses. 

9 Moreover  Je-hoi-a-da  the  priest 
delivered  to  the  captains  of  hun- 
dreds spears,  and  bucklers,  and 
shields,  that  had  been  king  Da-vid’s, 
which  ivere  in  the  house  of  God. 

10  And  he  set  all  the  people,  every 
man  having  his  weapon  in  nis  hand, 
from  the  right  '^side  of  the  ^temple 
to  the  left  side  of  the  temple,  along 
by  the  altar  and  the  temple,  by  the 
king  round  about. 

11  Then  they  brought  out  the 
king’s  son,  and  put  upon  him  the 
crown,  and  ^ gave  him  the  testi- 
mony^ and  made  him  king.  And 
Je-hoi-a-da  and  his  sons  anointed 
him,  and  said,  ^God  save  the  king. 

12  H Now  when  Ath-a-li-ah  heard 
the  noise  of  the  people  running  and 
praising  the  king,  she  came  to  the 
people  into  the  house  of  the  Lord  : 

13  And  she  looked,  and,  behold, 
the  king  stood  at  his  pillar  at  the 
entering  in,  and  the  princes  and 
the  trumpets  by  the  king : and  all 
the  people  of  the  land  rejoiced,  and 
spunded  with  trumpets,  also  the 
singers  with  instruments  of  musick, 
and  * such  as  taught  to  sing  praise. 
Then  Ath-a-h-ah  rent  her  clothes, 
and  said,  ® Treason,  Treason. 

14  Then  Je-hoi-a-da  the  priest 
brought  out  the  captains  of  hun- 
dreds that  were  set  over  the  host, 
and  said  unto  them.  Have  her  forth 
of  the  ranges  : and  whoso  followeth 
her,  let  him  be  slain  with  the  sword. 
For  the  priest  said.  Slay  her  not  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

15  So  they  laid  hands  on  her ; and 
when  she  v/as  come  to  the  entering 
^of  the  horse  gate  by  the  king’s 
house,  they  slew  her  there. 

16  H And  JAhoi-a-da  made  a cove- 
nant between  him,  and  between  all 
the  people,  and  between  the  king, 
that  they  should  be  the  LoRns 
people. 

17  Then  all  the  people  went  to 
the  house  of  Ba-al,  and  brake  it 
down,  and  brake  his  altars  and 
his  images  in  pieces,  and  «slew 
Mat- tan  the  priest  of  Ba-al  before 
the  altars.

4 IT  i^d  it  came  to  pass  after  this, 
that  Jo-ash  was  minded  ®to  repair 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

5 And  he  gathered  together  the 
priests  and  the  Le-vites,  and  said 
to  them.  Go  out  unto  the  cities  of

money  to  repair  the  house  of  your 
God  from  year  to  year,  and  see  that 
ye  hasten  the  matter.  Howbeit  the 
Le-vites  hastened  it  not.

Why  hast  thou  not  required  of  the

of  the  Lord  did  they  bestow  upon 
Ba-al-im. 

8 And  at  the  king’s  commandment 
®they  made  a chest,  and  set  it  with- 
out at  the  gate  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

9 And  they  made  proclamation 
through  Ju-dah  and  JAru-sa-l6m, 
to  bring  in  to  the  Lord  *the  col- 
lection that  Mo-ses  the  servant  of 
God  laid  upon  Is-ra-el  in  the  wil- 
derness. 

10  And  all  the  princes  and  all  the 
people  rejoiced,  and  brought  in, 
and  cast  into  the  chest,  until  they 
had  made  an  end. 

11  Now  it  came  to  pass,  that  at 
what  time  the  chest  was  brought 
unto  the  king’s  office  by  the  hand 
of  the  Le-vites,  and  *when  they  saw 
that  there  was  much  money,  the 
king’s  scribe  and  the  high  priest’s 
officer  came  and  emptied  the  chest, 
and  took  it,  and  carried  it  to  his 

Elace  again.  Thus  they  did  day 
y day,  and  gathered  money  in 
abundance. 

12  And  the  king  and  JAhoi-a-da 
gave  it  to  such  as  did  the  work 
of  the  service  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  hired  masons  and  car- 
penters to  repair  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  also  such  as  wrought 
iron  and  brass  to  mend  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

13  So  the  workmen  wrought,  and 
®the  work  was  perfected  by  them, 
and  they  set  the  house  of  God  in 
his  state,  and  strengthened  it. 

14  And  when  they  had  finished 
it,  they  brought  the  rest  of  the 
money  before  the  king  and  J6-hoi- 
a-da,  "whereof  were  made  vessels 
for  the  house  of  the  Lord,  even 
vessels  to  minister,  and  ®to  offer 
witfial,  and  spoons,  and  vessels  of 
gold  and  silver.  And  they  offered 
burnt  offerings  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord  continually  all  the  days  of 
J C-hoi-a-da. 

15  ^ But  Jo-hoi-a-da  waxed  old, 
and  was  full  of  days  when  he  died  ; 
an  hundred  and  thirty  years  old 
was  he  when  he  died. 

16  And  they  buried  him  in  the 
city  of  Da-vid  among  the  kings, 
because  he  had  done  good  in  Is- 
ra-6l,  both  toward  God,  and  toward 
his  house. 

17  Now  after  the  death  of  Je-hoi- 
a-da  came  the  princes  of  Ju-dah, 
and  made  obeisance  to  the  king. 
Then  the  king  hearkened  unto 
them. 

18  And  they  left  the  house  of  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers,  and 
served  “groves  and  idols : and

tne  bpirit  of  God  ^came 
i-a-ri-ah  the  son  of  J C-hoi- 


ipor 

ru-sa-lem  for  this  their  trespass. 

19  Yet  he  ''sent  prophets  to  them, 
to  bring  them  again  unto  the  Lord  ; 
and  they  testified  against  them:  but 
they  would  not  give  ear. 

20  And  ‘'the  Sj  ‘ ” 
upon  Zech-a-ri-aJ: 
a-da  the  priest,  which  stood  above 
the  people,  and  said  unto  them, 
Thus  saith  God,  -^Why  transgress 
ye  the  commandments  of  the  Lord, 
that  ye  cannot  prosper  1 ^because 
ye  have  forsaken  the  Lord,  he  hatn 
also  forsaken  you. 

21  And  they  conspired  against 
him,  and  '"stoned  him  with  stones 
at  tne  commandment  of  the  king  in 
the  court  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

22  Thus  Jo-ash  the  king  remem- 
bered not  the  kindness  which  Je- 
hoi-a-da  his  father  had  done  to  him, 
but  slew  his  son.  And  when  he 
died,  he  said.  The  Lord  look  upon 
it,  and  require  it. 

23  ^ And  it  came  to  pass  "at  the 
end  of  the  year,  that  *the  host  of 
Syr4-a  came  up  against  him : and 
they  came  to  Ju-dah  and  Je-ru-sa- 
lem,  and  destroyed  all  the  princes 
of  the  people  from  among  the  peo- 
ple, and  sent  all  the  spoil  of  them 
unto  the  king  of  ^Da-mas-ciis. 

24  For  the  army  of  the  Syr-i-ans 
'came  with  a small  company  of 
men,  and  the  Lord  "“delivered  a 
very  great  host  into  their  hand,  be- 
cause they  had  forsaken  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers.  _ So  they  “ex- 
ecuted judgment  against  J o-ash. 

25  And  -ymen  they  were  departed 
from  him,  (for  they  left  him  in 
great  diseases,)  ^hi_s  own  servants 
conspired  against  him  for  the  blood 
of  the  '^sons  of  Jo-hoi-a-da  the  priest, 
and  slew  him  on  his  bed,  and  he 
died:  and  they  buried  him  in  the 
city  of  Da-vid,  but  they  buried  him 
not  in  the  sepulchres  of  the  kings. 

26  And  these  are  they  that  con- 
spired against  him ; Zad3ad  the 
son  of  Shim-e-ath  an  Am-m6n-i-tess, 
and  Jo-h(5z-a-bad  the  son  of  ®Shim- 
rith  a Mo-ab-i-tess. 

27  H Now  concerning  his  sons,  and 
the  greatness  of  “the  burdens  laid 
upon  him,  and  the  ''repairing  of  the 
house  of  God,  behold,  they  are 
written  in  the  ^ story  of  the  book  of

to  reign,  and  he  reigned  twenty  and 

nine  years  in  Je-ru-sa-lem.  And 
his  mother’s  name  was  Je-h6-ad-dan 
of  Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

2 And  he  did  that  which  was  right 
in  the  sight  of  the  Loed,  “but  not 
with  a perfect  heart. 

3 ^ *Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  kingdom  was  ^^est^lisned  to 
him,  that  he  slew  his  servants  that 
had  killed  the  king  his  father. 

4 But  he  slew  not  their  children, 
but  did  as  it  ^s_written  in  the  law  in 
the  book  of  Mo-ses,  where  the  Loed 
commanded,  saying,  ‘^The  fathers 
shall  not  die  for  the  children,  nei- 
ther shall  the  children  die  for  the 
fathers,  but  every  man  shall  die  for 
his  own  sin. 

5 U Moreover  Am-a-zi-ah  gathered 
Ju-dah  together,  and  made  them 
captains  over  thousands,  and  cap- 
tains over  hundreds,  according  to 
the  houses  of  their  fathers,  through- 
out all  Ju-dah  and  Ben-ja-min  : and 
he  numbered  them  '"from  twenty 
years  old  and  above,  and  found 
them  three  hundred  thousand  choice 
men,  able  to  go  forth  to  war,  that 
could  handle  spear  and  shield. 

6 He  hired  also  an  hundred  thou- 
sand mighty  men  of  valour  out  of 
Is-ra-el  for  an  hundred  talents  of 
silver. 

7 But  there  came  a man  of  God 
to  him,  saying,  O king,  let  not  the 
army  of  Is-ra-el  go  with  thee ; fw 
the  Loed  is  not  with  Is-ra-el,  to  wit, 
with  all  the  children  of  E-phra-im. 

8 But  if  thou  wilt  go,  do  it,  be 
strong  for  the  battle  : God  shall 
make  thee  fall  before  the  enemy : 
for  God  hath  ^ power  to  help,  and 
to  cast  down. 

9 And  Am-a-zi-ah  said  to  the  man 
of  God,  But  what  shall  _ we  do  for 
the  hundred  talents  which  I have 
given  to  the  ®army  of  Is-ra-el  1 And 
the  man  of  God  answered,  ”"The 
Loed  is  able  to  give  thee  much 
more  than  this. 

10  Then  Am-a-zi-ah  separated 
them,  to  wit,  the  army  that  was 
come  to  him  out  of  E-phra-im,  to 
go  ’home  again  : wherefore  their 
anger  was  greatly  kindled  against 
Ju-dah,  and  they  returned  home  ®in 
great  anger. 

1 1 H And  Am-a-zi-ah  strengthened 
himself,  and  led  forth  his  people, 
and  went  to  "the  valley  of  salt,  and 
smote  of  the  children  of  Se4r  ten 
thousand. 

12  And  other  ten  thousand  left 
alive  did  the  children  of  Ju-dah 
carry  away  captive,  and  brought 
them  unto  the  top  of  the  rock,  and

cast  them  down  from  the  top  of  the 
rock,  that  they  all  were  broken  in 
pieces. 

13  II  But  ’the  soldiers  of  the  army 
which  Am-a-zi-ah  sent  back,  that 
they  should  not  go  with  him  to 
battle,  fell  upon  the  cities  of  Ju-dah, 
from  Sa-ma-ri-a  even  unto  Beth- 
ho-rDn,  and  smote  three  thousand 
of  thenu  and  took  much  spoil. 

14  H Now  it  came  to  pass,  after 
that  Am-a-zi-ah  was  come  from  the 
slaughter  of  the  E-dOm-ites,  that  "he 
brought  the  gods  of  the  children  of 
Se-ir,  and  set  them  up  to  he  ®his 
gods,  and  bowed  down  himself  be- 
fore them,  and  burned  incense  unto 
them. 

15  Wherefore  the  anger  of  the 
Loed  was  kindled  against  Am-a-zi- 
ah,  and  he  sent  unto  him  a prophet, 
which  said  unto  him,  Why  hast 
thou  sought  after  ^ the  gods  of  the 
people,  which  ^ could  not  deliver 
their  own  people  out  of  thine  hand! 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  talked 
with  him,  that  the  king  said  unto 
him.  Art  thou  made  of  the  king’s 
counsel  1 forbear : why  shouldest 
thou  be  smitten  1 Then  the  pro- 
phet forbare,  and  said,  I know  that 
God  hath  * determined^  to  destroy 
thee,  because  thou  hast  done  this, 
and  hast  not  hearkened  unto  my 
counsel. 

17  H Then  Am-a-zi-ah  king  of 
Ju-dah  took  advice,  and  sent  to  Jo- 
ash,  the  son  of  Je-ho-a-haz,  the  son 
of  Je-hu,  king  of  Is-ra-el,  saying. 
Come,  let  us  see  one  another  in  the 
face. 

18  And  Jo-ash  king  of  I§-ra-el  sent 
to  Am-a-zi-ah  king  of  Ju-dah,  say- 
ing, The  ^thistle  that  was  in  Leb- 
a-n5n  sent  to  the  cedar  that  was  in 
Leb-a-n5n,  saying.  Give  thy  daugh- 
ter to  my  son  to  wife:  and  there 
passed  by  ®a  wild  beast  that  was 
in  Leb-a-n5n,  and  trode  down  the 
thistle. 

1 9 Thou  sayest,  Lo,  thou  hast 
smitten  the  E-dSm-ites ; and  thine 
heart  lifteth  thee  up  to  boast : abide 
now  at  home ; why  shouldest  thou 
meddle  to  thine  hurt,  that  thou 
shouldest  fall,  even  thou,  and  J u-dah 
with  thee  1 

20  But  Am-a-zi-ah  would  not  hear; 
for  J" it  came  of  God,  that  he  might 
deliver  them  into  the  hand  of  their 
enemies,  because  they  ^sought  after 
the  gods  of  E-d5m. 

21  So  Jo-ash  the  king  of  Is-ra^el 
went  up ; and  they  saw  one  another 
in  the  face,  both  he  and  Am-a-zi-ah 
king  of  Ju-dah,  at  B6th-she-m6sh, 
which  belongeth  to  Ju-dah.

22  And  Ju-dah  was  ^put  to  the 
worse  before  Is-rd-el,  and  they  fled 
every  man  to  his  tent.  ? , . 

23  And  Jo-ash  the  king  of  Is-ra-el 
took  Am-a-zi-ah  king  of  Ju-dah,  the 
son  of  Jo-ash,  the  son  of  ‘=Je-ho-a- 
haz,  at  Beth-she-mesh,  and  brought 
him  to  Je-ru-sadem,  and  brake  down 
the  wall  of  Je-ru-sa-lem  from  the 
gate  of  E-phra-im  to  Hhe  corner 
gate,  four  hundred  cubits. 

24  And  he  took  all  the  gold  and  the 
silver,  and  all  the  vessels  that  were 
found  in  the  house  of  God  with 
O-bed-e-dOm,  and  the  treasures  of 
the  king’s  house,  the  hostages  also, 
and  returned  to  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

25  ^ ®And  Am-a-zi-ah  the  son  of 
Jo-ash  king  of  Ju-dah  lived  after 
the  death  of  Jo-ash  son  of  Je-ho-a- 
haz  king  of  Is-ra-el  fifteen  years. 

26  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Am- 
a-zi-ah,  first  and  last,  behold,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
kings  of  Ju-dah  and  IsAa-el  % 

27  ^ Now  after  the  time  that  Am- 
a-zi-ah  did  turn  away  ®from  follow- 
ing the  Loud  they  ^made  a conspir- 
acy against  him_  in  JAru-sa-lem ; 
and  he  fled  to  La--ehish : but  they 
sent  to  La'-ehish  after  him,  and  slew 
him  there. 

28  And  they  brought  him  upon 
horses,  and  buried  him  with  his 
fathers  in  the  city  of  ^Ju-dah. 

CHAPTER  26. 

1 Uzziah  succeeding,  and  reigning  well  in  the  days  of 

Zechariah,  prospereth.  16  Waxing  proud,  he  invadeth 

the  priests  office,  and  is  smitten  with  leprosy.  22  He 

dieth,  and  Jotham  succeedeth  him. 

Then  all  the  people  of  Ju-dah 
took  •''tTz-zi-ah,'^  who  was  sixteen 
years  old,  and  made  him  king  in  the 
room  of  his  father  Am-a-zi-ah. 

2 He  built  EdOth,  and  restored  it 
to  Ju-dah,  after  that  the  king  slept 
with  his  fathers. 

3 Sixteen  years  old  vjas  Uz-zi-ah 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and  he 
reigned  fifty  and  two  vears  in  Jc- 
ru-sa-lem.  His  mother  s name  also 
Jee-o-li-ah  of  JAru-sa-lem. 

_ 4 And  he  did  that  which  was  right 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  accord^ing 
to  all  that  his  father  Am-a-zi-ali 
did. 

5 And  ^he  sought  God  in  the  days 
of  Zech-a-ri-ah,  who  ^had  under- 
standing ®in  the  visions  of  God: 
and  as  long  as  he  sought  the  Lord, 
God  made  him  to  prosper. 

6 And  he  went  forth  and  "warred 
against  the  Phi-lis-tines,  and  brake 
down  the  wall  of  Gath,  and  the  wall 
of  Jab-n6h,  and  the  wall  of  Ash-dcd, 
and  built  cities  about  Ash-dod,  and 
among  the  Phi-lis-tine§.

7 And  God  helped  him  against  “the 

Phi-hs-tines,  and  against  the  A-ra- 
bi-ans  that  dwelt  in  Gur-ba-al,  and 
the  Me-hu-mms. 

8 And  the  Am-m6n-Ites  ^gaye  gifts 
to  t7z-zi-ah : and  his  name  ‘^siiread 
abroad  even  to  the  entering  in  of 
E-gypt;  for  he  strengthened  him- 
self exceedingly. 

9 Moreover  tJz-zi-ah  built  towers 
in  Je-ru-sa-lem  at  the  ‘^corner  gate, 
and  at  the  valley  gate,  and  at_  the 
turning  of  the  wall,  and  ^fortified 
them. 

10  Also  he  built  towers  in  the 
desert,  and  ^digged  many  wells : for 
he  had  much  cattle,  both  in  the  low 
country,  and  in  the  plains:  husband- 
men also,  and  vine  dressers  in  the 
mountains,  and  in  ®£]ar-mel : for  he 
loved  ’husbandry. 

11  Moreover  tJz-zi-ah  had  an  host 
of  fighting  men,  that  went  out  to 
war  by  bands,  according  to  the  num- 
ber of  their  account  by  the  hand  of 
JAi-el  the  scribe  and  Ma-a-sedah 
the  ruler,  under  the  hand  of  Han- 
a-ni-ah,  one  of  the  king’s  captains. 

12  The  whole  number  of  the  chief 
of  the  fathers  of  the  mighty  men 
of  valour  were  two  thousand  and 
six  hundred. 

13  And  under  their  hand  was  ’an 
army,  three  hundred  thousand  and 
seven  thousand  and  five  hundred, 
that  made  war  with  mighty  power, 
to  help  the  king  against  the  enemy. 

14  And  tJz-zi-ah  prepared  for  them 
throughout  all  the  host  shields,  and 
spears,  andhelmets,  and  habergeons, 
and  bows,  and  ^slings  to  cast  stones. 

15  And_  he  made  in  Jc-ru-sa-lem 
engines,  invented  by  cunning  men, 
to  be  on  the  towers  and  upon  the 
bulwarks,  to  shoot  arrows  and  great 
stones  withal.  And  his  name®  spread 
far  abroad ; for  he  was  marvellously 
helped,  till  he  was  strong. 

16  ^ But  ^when  he  was  strong,  his 
heart  was  '"lifted  up  to  his  destruc- 
tion : for  he  transgressed  against 
the  Lord  his  God,  and  *went  into 
the  temple  of  the  Lord  to  burn  in- 
cense upon  the  altar  of  incense. 

1 7 And  *Az-a-ri-ah  the  priest  went 
in  after  him,  and  with  him  four- 
score priests  of  the  Lord,  that  were 
valiant  men : 

18  And  they  withstood  Uz-zi-ahthe 
king,  and  said  unto  him.  It  '^av'per- 
taineth  not  unto  thee,  tTz-zi-ah,  to 
burn  incense  unto  the  Lord,  but  to 
the  ^priests  the  sons  of  Aar-On,  that 
are  consecrated  to  burn  incense : go 
out  of  the  sanctuary ; for  thou  hast 
trespassed ; neither  shall  it  be  for 
thine  honour  from  the  Lord  God. 


447 


JotJiam's  good  reign.  II.  CHKONICLES,  27,  28.  Ahaz^s  wicked  reign. 


19  Then  tTz-zi-ah  was  wroth,  and 
Jmd  a censer  in  his  hand  to  burn 
incense : and  while  he  was  wroth 
with  the  priests,  “the  leprosy  even 
rose  up  in  his  forehead  oef ore  the 
priests  in  the  house  of  the  Lokd, 
from  beside  the  incense  altar.  ^ 

20  And  Az-a-ri^ah  the  chief  priest, 
and  all  the  priests,  looked  upon 
him,  and,  behold,  he  was  leprous 
in  his  forehead,  and  they  thrust 
him  out  from  thence ; yea,  himself 
“hasted  also  to  go  out,  because  the 
Loed  had  smitten  him. 

21  “^And  tJz-zi-ah  the  king  was  a 
leper  unto  the  day  of  his  death,  and 
dwelt  in  a -^severaP  house,  being  a 
leper ; for  he  was  cut  off  from  the 
house  of  the  Loed  : and  Jo-tham  his 
son  luas  over  the  king’s  house,  judg- 
ing the  people  of  the  land. 

22  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
TTz-zi-ah,  first  and  last,  did  ^I-sa-iah 
the  prophet,  the  son  of  A-m5z,  write. 

23  *So  TTz-zi-ah  slept  with  his  fa- 
thers, and  they  buried  him  with 
his  fathers  in  the  field  of  the  burial 
which  belonged  to  the  kings : for 
they  said.  He  is  a leper:  and  Jo- 
tham  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  27. 

1 Jotham  reigning  well  prospereth.  5 He  subdueth  the 
Ammonites.  7 Mis  reign.  9 Ahaz  succeedeth  him. 

JO-THAM  ^was  twenty  and  five 
years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  sixteen  years 
in  Je-ru-sa-lem.  His  mother’s  name 
also  was  Je-ru-shah,  the  daughter 
of  Za-dok. 

2 And  he  did  that  which  was  right 
in  the  sight  of  the  Loed,  according 
to  all  that  his  father  TTz-zi-ah  did: 
howbeit  he  entered  not  into  the 
temple  of  the  Loed.  And  ^the  peo- 
ple did  yet  corruptly. 

3 He  built  the  high  gate  of  the 
house  of  the  Loed,  and  on  the  wall 
of  ®0-phel  he  built  much. 

4 Moreover  he  built  cities  in  the 
mountains  of  Ju-dah,  and  in  the 
forests  he  built  castles  and  towers. 

5 II  He  fought  also  with  the  king 
of  the  Am-m5n-ites,  and  prevailed 
against  them.  And  the  children  of 
Am-m5n  gave  him  the  same  year 
an  hundred  talents  of  silver,  and 
ten  thousand  measures  of  wheat, 
and  ten  thousand  of  barley.  '^So 
much  did  the  children  of  Am-mfin 
pay  unto  him,  both  the  second  year, 
and  the  third. 

6 So  Jo-tham  became  mighty,  be- 
cause he  ® prepared  his  ways  before 
the  Loed  nis  God.

26  He  dying,  Hezekiah  succeedeth  him. 

^-HAZ  ^was  twenty  years  old 
XA_  when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
he  reigned  sixteen  years  in  Je-ru- 
sa-lem  : but  he  did  not  that  which 
was  right  in  the  sight  of  the  Loed, 
like  Da-vid  his  father : 

2 For  he  walked  in  the  ways  of 
the  kings  of  Is-ra-el,  and  made  also 
^'molten  images  for  *Ba-al-im. 

3 Moreover  he  burnt  incense  in 
Hhe  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin-n6m, 
and  burnt  ’“his  children  in  the  fire, 
after  the  abominations  of  the  hea- 
then whom  the  Loed  had  cast  out 
before  the  children  of  IshA-el. 

4 He  sacrificed  also  and  burnt  in- 
cense in  the  high  places,  and  on 
the  hills,  and  under  every  green 
tree. 

5 Wherefore  Hhe  Loed  his  God 
delivered  him  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Syr-i-a  ; and  they  ^ smote 
him,  and  carried  away  a great 
multitude  of  them  captives,  and 
brought  them  to  ^Da-mas^us.  And 
he  was  also  delivered  into  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  Is-ra-el,  who  smote 
him  with  a great  slaughter. 

6 H For  « Pe-kah  the  son  of  Rem-a- 
li-ah  slew  in  Ju-dah  an  hundred  and 
twenty  thousand  in  one  day,  which 
were  all  ^valiant  men ; because  they 
had  forsaken  the  Loed  God  of  their 
fathers. 

7 And  Zich-ri,  a mighty  man  of 
E-phra-im,  slew  Ma-a-se-iah  the 
king’s  son,  and  Az-ri-kam  the  gov- 
ernor of  the  house,  and  El-ka-nah 
that  was  ®next  to  the  king. 

8 And  the  children  of  IsJ-ra-el  car- 
ried away  captive  of  their  * breth- 
ren two  hundred  thousand,  women, 
sons,  and  daughters,  and  took  also 
away  much  spoil  from  them,  and 
brought  the  spoil  to  Sa-ma-ri-a. 

9 But  a prophet  of  the  Loed  was 
there,  whose  name  was  O-ded  : and 
he  went  out  before  the  host  that 
came  to  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and  said  unto 
them.  Behold,  * because  the  Loed 
God  of  your  fathers  was  wroth 
with  Ju-dah,  he  hath  delivered 
them  into  your  hand,  and  ye  have

slain  them  in  a rage  that  “reacheth 

up  unto  heaven. 

10  And  now  ye  purpose  to  keep 
under  the  children  of  Ju-dah  and 
Je-ru-sa-lem  for  * bondmen  and 
bondwomen  unto  you:  but  are 
there  not  with  you,  even  with 
you,  sins  against  the  Loed  your 

Gocfl  ^ n A 

11  Now  hear  me  therefore,  and 
deliver  the  captives  again,  which 
ye  have  taken  captive  of  your 
brethren:  ‘^for  the  tierce  wrath  of 
the  Lord  is  upon  you. 

12  Then  certain  of  the  heads  of 
the  children  of  E-phra-im,  Az-a- 
ri-ah  the  son  of  J6-ha-nan,  Ber-e- 
■ehl-ah  the  son  of  Me-shil-le-m6th, 
and  Je-hiz-ki-ah  the  son  of  Shah 
Itim,  and  Am-a-sa  the  son  of  Had- 
lai,  stood  up  against  them  that  came 
from  the  war, 

13  And  said  unt'‘>  them.  Ye  shall 
not  bring  in  the  captives  hither: 
for  whereas  we  have  offended  a- 
gainst  the  Lord  already,  ye  intend 
to  add  more  to  our  sins  and  to  our 
trespass : for  our  trespass  is  great, 
and  they'e  is  fierce  wrath  against 
Is-ra-el. 

14  So  the  armed  ruen  left  the 
captives  and  the  spoil  before  the 
princes  and  all  the  congregation. 

15  And  the  men  which  were  ex- 
pressed by  name  rose  up,  and  took 
the  captives,  and  with  the  spoil 
clothed  all  that  were  naked  amoni 
them,  and  arrayed  them,  and  sho< 
them,  and  *gave  them  to  eat  and 
to  drink,  and  anointed  them,  and 
carried  all  the  feeble  of  them  upon 
asses,  and  brought  themto  J6r-i-cho, 
*the  city  of  palm  trees,  to  their 
brethren:  then  they  returned  to 
Sa-mah'i-a. 

16  H ”"At  that  time  did  king  A-haz 
send  unto  the  kings  of  As-syr4-a  to 
help  him. 

17  For  again  the  E-d5m-ites  had 
come  and  smitten  Ju-dah,  and  car- 
ried away  ^captives. 

18  "The  Phi-hs-tines  also  had  in- 
vaded the  cities  of  the  lov/  country, 
and  of  the  south  of  Ju-dah,  and  had 
taken  B6th-she-m6sh,  and  Aj-a-l5n, 
and  G6-de-r6th,  and  Sho-ch6  with 
the  villages  thereof,  and  Tim-nah 
with  the  villages  thereof,  Gim-z6 
also  and  the  villages  thereof : and 
they  dwelt  there. 

19  For  the  Lord  brought  Ju-dah 
low  because  of  A-haz  king  of  ®Is- 
ra-6l ; for  he  ^made  Ju-dah  naked, 
and  transgressed  sore  against  the 
Lord. 

20  And  *Til-gath-pil-ne-ser  king 
of  As-syr-i-a  came  unto  him,  and

him  not.  _ 

2 1 For  A Jiaz  took  away  a portion 

out  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
out  of  the  house  of  the  king,  and 
of  the  princes,  and  gave  it  unto  the 
king  of  As-syr-i-a : but  he  helped 
him  not.  „ , . . . , 

22  ^ And  in  the  time  of  his  distress 
did  he  trespass  yet  rnore  against  the 
Lord  : this  is  that  king  A-haz. 

23  For  ‘’he  sacrificed  unto  the  gods 
of  ^ Da-mas-etis,  which  smote  him : 
and  he  said.  Because  the  gods  of  the 
kings  of  Syr-i-a  help  them,  therefore 
will  I sacrifice  to  them,  that  ®they 
may  help,  me.  But  they  were  the 
ruin  of  him,  and  of  all  Is-ra-el. 

24  And  A-haz  gathered  together 
the  vessels  of,  the  house  of  God, 
and  cut  in  pieces  the  vessels  of 
the  house  of  God,  -^and  shut  up 
the  doors  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  he  made  him  altars  in  every 
corner  of  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

25  And  in  every  several  city  of 
Ju-dah  he  made  high  places  ^to 
burn  incense  unto  other  gods,  and 
provoked  to  anger  the  Lord  God 
of  his  fathers. 

26  ^ ^'Now  the  rest  of  his  acts  and 
of  all  his  ways,  first  and  last,  be- 
hold, they  are  written  in  the  book 
of  the  kings  of  Ju-dah  and  Is-ra-el. 

27  And  A-haz  slept  with  his  fa- 
thers, and  they  buried  him  in  the 
city,  even  in  Je-ru-sa-lem : but  they 
brought  him  not  into  the  sepulchres 
of  the  kings  of  Is-ra-el : and  Hez-e- 
ki-ah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead.

exhorteth  the  Levites.  12  They  sanctify  themselves.  20 
Hezekiah  offcreth  solemn  sacrifices. 

EZ-E-Kl-AH  ^began  to  reign 

when  he  was  five  and  twenty 

years  old,  and  he  reigned  nine  and 
twenty  years  in  Je-ru-sAlem.  And 
his  mother’s  name  was  A-bi-jah, 
the  daughter  ’^of  Zech-a-ri-ah. , 

2 And  he  did  that  which  was  right 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  according 
to  all  that  Da-vid  his  father  had 
done. 

3 ^ He  in  the  first  year  of  his 
reign,  in  the  first  month,  opened 
the  doors  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  repaired  them. 

4 And  he  brought  in  the  priests 
and  the  Le-vites,  and  gathered  them 
together  into  the  east  street, 

5 And  said  unto  them,  Hear  me, 
Le-vites,  ‘sanctify  now  your-

selves,  and  sanctify  the  house  of 
the  Lord  God  of  your  fathers,  and 
carry  forth  the  filthiness  out  of  the 
holy  place. 


Hezekiah's 

6 For  our  fathers  have  trespassed, 
and  done  that  ivhich  was  evil  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord  our  God,  and  have 
forsaken  him,  and  have  “ turned  away 
their  faces  from  the  habitation  of  the 
Lord,  and  ^turned  their  backs. 

7 ^'iUso  they  have  shut  up  the 
doors  of  the  porch,  and  put  9ut  the 
lamps,  a.nd  have  not  burned  incense 
nor  offered  burnt  offerings  in  the 
holj  place  unto  the  God  of  Is-ra-el. 

8 Wherefore  the_  wrath  of  the 
Lord  was  upon  Ju-dah  and  Jo-ru- 
sa-lem,  and  he  hath  delivered  them 
to  ^trouble,  to  astonishment,  and 
to  ^hissing,  as  ye  see  with  your 
eyes. 

9 For,  lo,  -^our  fathers  have  fallen 
by  the  sword,  and  our  sons  and  our 
daughters  and  our  wives  are  in  cap- 
tivity for  this. 

10  Now  it  is  in  mine  heart  to  make 
^a  covenant  with  the  Lord  God  of 
Is-ra-el,  that  his  fierce  wrath  may 
turn  away  from  us. 

11  My  sons,  ^be  not  now  negli- 
gent: for  the  Lord  hath  * chosen 

ou  to  stand  before  him,  to  serve 

im,  and  that  ye  should  minister 
unto  him,  and  '^burn  incense. 

1 2 U Then  the  Le-vites  arose,  Ma- 
hath  the  son  of  Am-a-sai,  and  Jo-el 
the  son  of  Az-a-ri-ah,  of  the  sons  of 
the  Ko-hath-Ttes : and  of  the  sons  of 
Me-ra-ri,  Kish  the  son  of  Ab-di,  and 
Az-a-ri-ah  the  son  of  JAhal-e-lel : 
and  of  the  Ger-sh5n-ites  • Jo-ah  the 
son  of  Zim-mah,  and  E^den  the  son 
of  Jo-ah : 

13  And  of  the  sons  of  E-liz-a-phan; 
Shim-ri,  and  J 6-i^l : and  of  the  sons 
of  A-saph ; ZeRh-a-ri-ah,  and  Mat- 
ta-ni-ah : 

14  And  of  the  sons  of  He-man; 
Je-hi-el,  and  Shim-e-i:  and  of  the 
sons  of  Je-du-thun ; Sh4-ma-iah, 
and  tTz-zi-el. 

15  And  they  gathered  their  breth- 
ren, and  "sanctified  themselves,  and 
came,  according  to  the  command- 
ment of  the  king,  ® by  the  words  of 
the  Lord,  ’’to  cleanse  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

^ 16  And  the  priests  went  into  the 
inner  part  of  tne  house  of  the  Lord, 
to  cleanse  it,  and  brought  out  all 
the  uncleanness  that  they  found 
in  the  temple  of  the  Lord  into  the 
court  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 
And  the  Le^vites  took  it,  to  carry  it 
out  abroad  into  the  brook  Kid-rOn. 

17  Now  they  began  on  the  first 
day  of  the  first  month  to  sanctify, 
and  on  the  eighth  day  of  the  month 
came  they  to  the  porch  of  the  Lord  : 
so  they  sanctified  the  house  of  the 
Lord  in  eight  days;  and  in  the  six- 


good reign. 

teenth  day  of  the  first  month  they 
m.ade  an  end. 

18  Then  they  went  in  to  Hez-e- 
ki-ah  the  king,  and  said.  We  have 
cleansed  all  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  the  altar  of  burnt  offering, 
with  all  the  vessels  thereof,  and 
the  shewbread  table,  with  all  the 
vessels  thereof. 

1 9 Moreover  all  the  vessels,  which 
king  A-haz  in  his  reign  did  "cast 
away  in  his  transgression,  have 
we  prepared  and  sanctified,  and, 
behold,  they  are  before  the  altai 
of  the  Lord. 

20  II  Then  Hez-e-ki-ah  the  king 
rose  early,  and  gathered  the  rulers 
of  the  city,  and  went  up  to  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

21  And  they  brought  seven  bul- 
locks, and  seven  rams,  and  seven 
lambs,  and  seven  he  goats,  for  a 
'^sin  offering  for  the  kingdom,  and 
for  the  sanctuary,  and  for  Ju-dah. 
And  he  commanded  the  priests  the 
sons  of  Aar-Dn  to  offer  them  on  the 
altar  of  the  L9RD. 

22  So  they  killed  the  bullocks,  and 
the  priests  received  the  blood,  and 
* sprinkled  it  on  the  altar:  likewise, 
when  they  had  killed  the-  rams, 
they  sprinkled  the  blood  upon  the 
altar : they  killed  also  the  lambs, 
and  they  sprinkled  the  blood  upon 
the  altar. 

23  And  they  br9ught  Horth  the 
he  goats  fm'  the  sin  offering  before 
the  king  and  the  congregation ; and 
they  laid  their  ^ hands  upon  them: 

24  And  the  priests  kffled  them, 
and  they  made  reconciliation  with 
their  blood  upon  the  altar,  /"to 
make  an  atonement  for  all  Is-rd-el : 
for  the  king  commanded  that  the 
burnt  offering  and  the  sin  offering 
should  be  made  for  all  I§-ra-el.^ 

25  ”And  he  set  the  LeWites  in  the 
house  of  the^  Lord  with  cymbals, 
with  psalteries,  and  with  harps, 
^according  to  the  commandment' of 
Da-vid^and  of  ®Gad  the  king’s  seer, 
and  Na-than  the  prophet:  *for  so 
tvas  the  commandment  '^of  the  Lord 
®by  his  prophets. 

26  And  tne  Le-vltes  stood  with 
the  instruments  *of  DaWid,  and  the 
priests  with  *^the  trumpets. 

27  And  Hez-e-ki-ah  commanded 
to  offer  the  burnt  offering  upon  the 
altar.  And  ^when  the  burnt  offer- 
ing began,  *the  song  of  the  Lord 
began  also^  with  the  trumpets,  and 
with  the  instruments  ordained  by 
DaWid  king  of  Isia-el. 

28  And  all  the  congregation  wor- 
shipped, and  the  ^singers  sang,  and 
the  trumpeters  sounded:  and  all

this  continued  until  the  burnt  offer- 
ing was  finished. , , , , 

29  And  when  they  had  made  an 
end  of  offering,  Hhe  king  and  all 
that  were  ^present  with  him  bowed 
themselves,  and  worshipped. 

30  Moreover  H6z-6-ki-ah  the  king 
and  the  princes  commanded  the 
Le-vltes  to  sing  praise  unto^  the 
Lord  with  the  words  of  Da-vid, 
and  of  A-saph  the  seer.  And  they 
sang  praises  with  gladness,  and  they 
bowed  their  heads  and  worshipped. 

31  Then  H6z-6-ki-ah  answered  and 
said.  Now  ye  have  ® consecrated 
yourselves  unto  the  Lord,  come 
near  and  bring  sacrifices  and  thank 
offerings  into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 
And  the  congregation  brought  in 
sacrifices  and  thank  offerings*  and 
as  many  as  were  of  a free  heart 
burnt  offerings. 

32  And  the  number  of  the  burnt 
offerings,  which  the  congregation 
brought,  was  threescore  and  ten 
bullocks,  an  hundred  rams,  and 
two  hundred  lambs : all  these  were 
for  a burnt  offering  to  the  Lord. 

33  And  the  consecrated  things 
were  six  hundred  oxen  and  three 
thousand  sheep. 

34  But  the  priests  were  too  few, 
so  that  they  could  not  flay  all  the 
burnt  offerings : wherefore  ‘their 
brethren  the  Le-vites  ’ did  help 
them,  till  the  work  was  ended,  and 
until  the  other  priests  had  sanctified 
themselves;  ffor  the  Le-vites  were 
more  upright  in  heart  to  sanctify 
themselves  than  the  priests. 

35  And  also  the  burnt  offerings 
were  in  abundance,  with  ’‘the  fat  of 
the  peace  offerings,  and  ^the  drink 
offerings  for  every  burnt  offering. 
8o  the  service  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  was  set  in  order.  _ 

36  And  Hez-6-kI-ah  rejoiced,  and 
all  the  people,  that  God  had  pre- 
pared the  people : for  the  thing  was 
done  suddenly.

1 ffezeJdah  proclaimeth  a solemn  passover.  13  The  as- 
sembly, having  destroyed  the  altars  of  idolatry,  keep  the 
feast  fourteen  days.  27  The  priests  and  Levites  bless  the 
people. 

AND  H6z-g-ki-ah  sent  to  all  Is- 
ra-6l  and  Ju-dah,  and  wrote 
letters  also  to  E-phra-im  and  MS.- 
nas-s6h,  that  they  should  come  to 
the  house  of  the  Lord  at  JAru-sa- 
l6m,  to  keep  the  passover  unto  the 
Lord  God  of  Is-ra-6l. 

2 For  the  king  had  taken  counsel, 
and  his  princes,  and  all  the  con- 
gregation in  Je-ru-sa-lem,  to  keep 
the  passover  in  the  second  ^ month. 

3 For  they  could  not  keep  it  ‘at

that  time,  “ because  the  priests 
had  not  sanctified  themselves  suf- 
ficiently, neither  had  the  people 
gathered  themselves  together  to  JA 
ru-sa-lem. 

4 And  the  thing  ^pleased  the  king 
and  all  the  congregation. 

5 So  they  established  a decree  to 
make  proclamation  throughout  all 
Is-ra-el,  from  Be-6r-she-ba  even  to 
Dan,  that  they  should  come  to  keep 
the  passover  unto  the  Lord  God  of 
Ish*a-el  at  Je-ru-sa-lem : for  they 
had  not  done  li  of  a long  time  in 
such  sort  as  it  was  written. 

6 So  the  posts  went  with  the  let- 
ters ■^from  the  king  and  his  princes 
throughout  all  Is-ra-6l  and  J u-dah, 
and  according  to  the  commandment 
of  the  king,  saying.  Ye  children  of 
Is-ra-6l,  ‘^turn  again  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  A-bra-ham,  I-saae,  and  Is- 
ra-6l,  and  he  will  return  to  the 
remnant  of  you,  that  are  escaped 
out  of  the  hand  of  *the  kings  of 
As-syr4-a. 

7 And  be  not  ye  ■''like  your  fathers, 
and  like  your  brethren,  which  tres- 
passed against  the  Lord  God  of 
their  fathers,  who  therefore  ^gave 
them  up  to  desolation,  as  ye  see. 

8 Now  ®be  ye  not  '‘stiffnecked,  as 
your  fathers  were,  but  ® yield  your- 
selves unto  the  Lord,  and  enter 
into  his  sanctuary,  which  he  hath 
sanctified  for  ever : and  serve  the 
Lord  your  God,  ^that  the  fierce- 
ness of  his  wrath  may  turn  away 
from  you. 

9 For  if  ye  turn  again  unto  the 
Lord,  your  brethren  and  your  chil- 
dren shall  find  ® compassion  before 
them  that  lead  them  captive,  so 
that  they  shall  come  again  into 
this  land : for  the  Lord  your  God 
is  ^gracious  and  merciful,  and  will 
not  turn  away  his^  face  from  you,  if 
ye  ’’return  unto  him. 

10  So  the  posts  passed  from  city 
to  city  through  the  country  of  E- 
phra-im  and  Ma-nas-s6h  even  unto 
Zeb-u-lun  : but  Mhey  laughed  them 
to  scorn,  and  mocked  them.  ^ 

11  Nevertheless  ‘divers  of  Ash-er 
and  Ma-nas-seh  and  of  Z6b-u-lun 
humbled  themselves,  and  came  to 
Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

12  Also  in  Juklah  ‘‘the  hand  of 
God  was  to  give  them  one  heart  to 
do  the  commandment  of  the  king 
and  of  the  princes,  '‘by  the  word 
of  the  Lord. 

1 3 II  And  there  assembled  at  J Aru- 
sa-l6m  much  pfeople  to  keep  the  feast 
of  unleavened  bread  in  tne  second 
month,  a very  great  congregation. 

14  And  they  arose  and  took  away

The  people's  offerings 


the  “altars  that  were  in  J e-rii-sa-lem, 
and  all  the  altars  for  incense  took 
they  away,  and  cast  them  into  the 
brook  Kid-r6n. 

15  Then  they  killed  the  passover 
on  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  second 
month:  and  the  priests  and  the 
Le-vltes  were  ® ashamed,  and  sanc- 
tified themselves,  and  brought  in 
the  burnt  offerings  into  the  house 
of  the  Lokd. 

16  And  they  stood  in  ^ their  place 
after  their  manner,  according  to  the 
law  of  Mokses  the  man  of  God  : the 
priests  sprinkled  the  blood,  which 
they  received  of  the  hand  of  the  Le- 
vites. 

17  For  there  were  many  in  the 
congregation  that  were  not  sanc- 
tified: ® therefore  the  LeVites  had 
the  charge  of  the  killing  of  the 
passovers  for  every  ^ one  that  teas 
not  clean,  to  sanctify  them  unto 
the  Loed. 

18  For  a multitude  of  the  people, 
even  ^many  of  E-phra-im,  and  Ma- 
n^s-seh,  Isksa-ehar,  and  Zeb-u-liin, 
had  not  cleansed  themselves,  ^jret 
did  they  eat  the  passover  otherwise 
than  it  was  written.  But  Hez-e- 
ki-ah  prayed  for  them,  saying.  The 
good  Loed  pardon  everjr  one 

19  That  *prepareth  his  heart  to 
seek  God,  the  Loed  God  of  his 
fathers,  though  he  be  not  cleansed 
according  to  the  purification  of  the 
sanctuary. 

20  And  the  Loed  hearkened  to 
Hez-e-ki-ah,  and  healed  the  people. 

21  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  that 
were  ® present  at  J6-ru-sa-l6m  kept 
’"tbe  feast  of  unleavened  bread  sev- 
en days  with  great  gladness : and 
tbe  Le-vites  and  the  priests  praised 
the  Loed  day  by  day,  singing  with 
"^loud  instruments  unto  the  Loed. 

22  And  Hez-e-ki-ah  spake  ® com- 
fortably unto  all  the  Le-vites  “that 
taught  the  good  knowledge  of  the 
Loed  : and  they  did  eat  through- 
out the  feast  seven  days,  offering 
peace  offerings,  and  ® making  con- 
fession to  the  Loed  God  of  their 
fathers. 

23  And  the  whole  assembly  took 
counsel  to  keep  * other  seven  days  : 
and  they  kept  other  seven  days  with

“did^  give  to  the  congregation  a

to  the  congregation  a thousand  bul-

of  Is-ra-el,  and  that  dwelt  in  J u-dah, 
rejoiced. 

26  So  there  was  great  joy^  in  JA 
ru-sa-lem:  for  since  the  time  of 
S5T5-rn5n  the  son  of  Da-vid  king 
of  Is-ra-el  there  was  not  the  like  in 
Je-ru-sa-lem.

arose  and  ‘^blessed  the  people : and 
their  voice  was  heard,  and  their 
prayer  came  up  to  ^his  holy  dwell-

CHAPTER  31. 

1 The  people  forward  in  destroying  idolatry.  5 Their 
offerings  and  tithes.  11  Hezekiah  appointeth  officers  to 
dispose  of  the  tithes.  20  Bis  sincerity. 

OW  when  all  this  was  finished, 
Iffi  all  Is-ra-el  that  were  ^present 
went  out  to  the  cities  of  J u-dah,  and 
brake  the  ^images  in  pieces,  and 
cut  down  the  groves,  and  threw 
down  the  high  places  and  the  altars 
out  of  all  Ju-dah  and  Ben-ja-min,  in 
E-pbra-im  also  and  Ma-nas-seh,  ®un- 
til  they  had  utterly  destroyed  them 
all.  Then  all  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
returned,  every  man  to  his  posses- 
sion, into  their  own  cities.^ 

2 H And  Hez-e-ki-ah  appointed  ^'the 
courses  of  the  priests  and  the  Le- 
vites  after  their  courses,  every  man 
according  to  his  service,  the  priests 
and  Le-vites  ^for_  burnt  offerings 
and  for  peace  offerings,  to  minister, 
and  to  give  thanks,  and  to  praise  in 
the  gates  of  the  tents  of  the  Loed. 

3 He  appointed  also  the  king’s  por- 
tion of  his  substance  for  the  burnt 
offerings,  to  wit,  for  the_  morning 
and  evening  burnt  offerings,  and 
the  burnt  offerings  for  the  sabbaths, 
and  for  the  new  moons,  and  for  the 
set  feasts,  as  it  is  written  in  the  ”law 
of  the  Loed. 

4 Moreover  he  commanded  the 
people  that  dwelt  in  JAru-sa-lem 
to  give  the  ^portion  of  the  priests 
and  the  Le-vites,  that  they  might 
be  encouraged  in  ^the  law  of  the 
Loed. 

5 ^ And  as  soon  as  the  command- 
ment ^came  abroad,  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el  brought  in  abundance  Hhe 
firstfruits  of  corn,  wine,  and  oil, 
and  Bioney,  and  of  all  the  increase 
of  the  field:  and  the  tithe  of  all 
things  brought  they  in  abundantly. 

6 And  concerning  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el  and  Ju-dah,  that  dwelt  in 
the  cities  of  Ju-dah,  they  also 
brought  in  the  tithe  of  oxen  and 
sheep,  and  the  tithe  of  holy  things 
whicn  were  consecrated  unto  the 


and  their  tithes.

7 In  the  third  month  they  began 
to  lay  the  foundation  of  the  heaps, 
and  finished  them  in  the  seventh 
month. 

8 And  when  H6z-e-ki-ah  and  the 
princes  came  and  saw  the  heaps, 
they  blessed  the  Lord,  and  his 
people  Is-ra-el. 

9 Then  Hez-e-ki-ah  questioned 
with  the  priests  and  the  Le-vites 
concerning  the  heaps. 

10  And  Az-a-ri-ah  the  chief  priest 
of  the  house  of  Za-dok  answered 
him,  and  said,  Since  the  people  be- 
gan to  bring  the  offerings  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  we  have  had 
enough  to  eat,  and  have  left  plenty : 
for  the  Lord  hath  blessed  his  peo- 
ple; and  that  which  is  left  is  this 
great  store. 

1 1 H Then  Hez-e-ki-ah  commanded 
to  prepare  ® chambers  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord;  and  they  prepared 
them, 

12  And  brought  in  the  offerings 
and  the  tithes  and  the  dedicated 
things  faithfully  : -^over  which  -Gon- 

0- ni-ah  the  Le-vite  was  ruler,  and 
Shim-e-I  his  brother  was  the  next.

hand  of  GOn-O-nl-ah  and  Shim-e-i 
his  brother,  at  the  commandment 
of  Hez-e-ki-ah  the  king,  and  Az-a- 
ri-ah  the  ruler  of  the  house  of  God. 

14  And  Ko-re  the  son  of  Im-nah 
the  Le-vite,  the  porter  toward  the 
east,  was  over  the  freewill  offerings 
of  God,  to  distribute  the  oblations  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  most  holy  things. 

15  And  ®next  him  were  E-den,  and

naeh-e-rib  king  of  As-syr-i-a  came, 
and  entered  into  Ju-dah,  and  en- 
camped against  the  fenced  cities,  and 
thought  ‘‘to  win  them  for  himself. 

2 And  when  Hez-e-ki-ah  saw  that 
Sen-naeh-e-rib  was  come,  and  that 
^he  was  purposed  to  fight  against 
JAru-sa-lem, 

3 He  took  counsel  with  his  princes 
and  his  mighty  men  to  stop  the 
waters  of  the  fountains  which  were 
without  the  city : and  they  did  help 
him. 

4 So  there  was  gathered  much 
people  together,  who  stopped  all 
the  fountains,  and  the  brook  that 
^ran  through  the  midst  of  the  land, 
saying.  Why  should  the  kings  of

towers,  and  another  wall  without, 
and  repaired  * Mil-16  in  the  city  of

in  abundance.

the  people,  and  gathered  them  to- 
gether to  him  in  the  street  of  the 
gate  of  the  city,  and  spake  com-

against  the  Lord  God,  and  against 
his  servant  Hez-e-kl-ah. 

17  *He  wrote  also  letters  to  rail 
on  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  and  to 
speak  against  him,  saying,  “As  the 
gods  of  the  nations  of  other  lands 
have  not  delivered  their  people  out 
of  mine  hand,  so  shall  not  the  God 
of  H6z-e-kl-ah  deliver  his  people  out 
of  mine  hand. 

18  ^Then  they  cried  with  a loud 
voice  in  the  Jews’  speech  unto  the 
people  of  Je-ru-sa-lem  “that  were 
on  the  wall,  to  affright  them,  and 
to  trouble  them;  that  they  might 
take  the  city. 

19  And^they^  spake  against  the

which  were  “the  work  of  the  hands 
of  man. 

20  *And  for  this  cause  H6z-e-ki- 
ah  the  king,  and  ‘*the  prophet  I-sa- 
iah  the  son  of  A-m5z,  prayed  and 
cried  to  heaven. 

21  U ‘And  the  Lord  sent  an  angel, 
which  cut  off  all  the  mighty  men 
of  valour,  and  the  leaders  and  cap- 
tains in  the  camp  of  the  king  of 
As-syr-i-a.  So  he  returned  with 
shame  of  face  to  his  own  land. 
And  when  he  was  come  into  the 
house  of  his  god,  they  that  came 
forth  of  his  own  bowels  ^slew  him 
there  with  the  sword. 

22  Thus  the  Lord  saved  Hez-ej 
ki-ah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru- 
sa-lem  from  the  hand  of  S6n-nach- 
e-rib  the  king  of  As-syr-i-a,  and 
from  the  hand  of  all  other.,  and 
guided  them  on  every  side. 

23  And  many  brought  gifts  unto 
the  Lord  to  JAru-sAlem,  and  * pres- 
ents® to  Hez-6-ki-ah  king  of  Ju-dah : 
so  that  he  was  * magnified  in  the 
sight  of  all  nations  from  thence- 
forth. 

24  H ”*In  those  days  Hez-e-kl-ah 
was  sick  to  the  death,  and  prayed 
unto  the  Lord  : and  he  spake  unto 
him,  and  he  ®gave  him  a sign. 

25  But  Hez-e-kl-ah  “ rendered  not 
again  according  to  the  benefit  done 
unto  him ; for  °his  heart  was  lifted 
up  : ^ therefore  there  was  wrath 
upon  him,  and  upon  Ju-dah  and 
J e-ru-sa-lem. 

26  Notwithstanding  Hez-e-ki-ah 
humbled  himself  for  Hhe  pride  of 
his  heart,  both  he  and  the  inhab- 
itants of  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  so  that  the 
wrath  of  the  Lord  came  not  upon 
them  ®in  the  days  of  Hez-e-ki-ah. 

27  U And  Hez-e-ki-ah  had  exceed- 
ing much  riches  and  honour : and 
he  made  himself  treasuries  for  sil- 
ver, and  for  gold,  and  for  precious 
stones,  and  for  spices,  and  for 
shields,  and  for  all  manner  of 
^pleasant  jewels ; 

28  Storehouses  also  for  the  in- 
crease of  corn,  and  wine,  and  oil ; 
and  stalls  for  all  manner  of  beasts, 
and  cotes  for  flocks.  . , , . . 

29  Moreover  he  provided  him  cit- 
ies, and  possessions  of  fl(^ks  and 
herds  in  abundance : for  *God  had 
given  him  substance  very  much. 

30  ^This  same  H6z-6-ki-ah  also 
stopped  the  upper  watercourse  of 
Gi-hbn,  and  brought  it  straight 
down  to  the  west  side  of  the  city 
of  Da-vid.  And  H6z-6-ki-ah  pros- 
pered in  all  his  works.

that  was  in  his  heart. 

32  IT  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
H6z-e-ki-ah,  and  his  ^goodness,  be-

eth  him. 

M A -NAS'S EH  ^was  twelve  years 
old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  fifty  and  five  years 
in  Je-ru-sa-lem : 

2  But  did  that  which  was  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  like  unto  the 
"abominations  of  the  heathen,  whom 
the  Lord  had  cast  out  before  the 
children  of  ls-ra-6l. 

3  U For  he  built  again  the  high 
places  which  Hez-6-ki-ah  his  father 
had  ^ broken  down,  and  he  reared 
up  altars  for  Ba-al-im,  and  ’'made 
roves,  and  worshipped  *all  the 
ost  of  heaven,  and  served  them. 

4  Also  he  built  altars  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  whereof  the  Lord  had 
said,  “In  Je-ru-sa-lem  shall  my  name 
be  for  ever. 

5  And  he  built  altars  for  all  the 
host  of  heaven  *in  the  two  courts 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

6  ^And  he  caused  his  children  to 
pass  through  the  fire  in  the  valley 
of  the  son  of  Hin-nCm : ^ also  he 
observed  times,  and  used  enchant- 
ments, and  used  witchcraft,  and 
® dealt  with  a familiar  spirit,  and 
with  wizards : he  wrought  much 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  to 
provoke  him  to  anger. 

_ 7 And  ® he  set  a carved  image,  the 
idol  which  he  had  made,  in  the 
house  of  God,  of  which  God  had 
said  to  Da-yid  and  to  S5l-6-m5n  his 
son.  In  -^this  house,  and  in  Je-ru- 
sa-l6m,  which  I have  chosen  before 
all  the  tribes  of  Is-ra-6l,  will  I put 
my  name  for  ever  : 

8  S' Neither  will  I any  more  re- 
move the  foot  of  Is-ra-6l  from  out 
of  the  land  which  I have  appointed 


for  your  fathers ; so  that  they  will 

take  heed  to  do  all  that  I have 
commanded  them,  according  to  the 
whole  law  and  the  statutes  and  the 
ordinances  by  the  hand  of  Mo-ses. 

9 So  Ma-nas-seh  made  J u-dah  and 
the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru-sa-lem  to 
err,  and  to  do  worse  than  the  hea- 
then, whom  the  Lord  had  destroyed 
before  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l. 

10  And  the  Lord  spake  to  Ma- 
nas-seh,  and  to  his  people : but  they 
would  not  hearken. 

1 1 H -^Wherefore  the  Lord  brought 
upon  theni  the  captains  of  the  host 
^of  the  king  of  As-syr-i-a,  which 
took  Ma-nas-seh  among  the  thorns, 
and  ‘‘bound  him  with  ^fetters,  and 
carried  him  to  Bab-y-l6n. 

1 2 And  when  he  was  in  affliction, 
he  besought  the  Lord  his  God,  and 
‘humbled  himself  greatly  before  the 
God  of  his  fathers, 

1 3 And  prayed  unto  him : and  he 
was  *intreated  of  him,  and  heard 
his  supplication,  and_  brought  him 
again  to  Je-ru-sa-lem  into  his  king- 
dom. Then  Ma-nas-seh  "‘knew  that 
the  Lord  he  was  God. 

14  Now  after  this  he  built  a wall 
without  the  city  of  Da-vid,  on  the 
west  side  of  “Gl-h6n,  in  the  valley, 
even  to  the  entering  in  at  the  fish 
gate,  and  compassed  ^about  ®0-ph6l, 
and  raised  it  up  a very  great  height, 
and  put  captains  of  war  in  all  the 
fenced  cities  of  Ju-dS,h. 

15  And  he  took  away  *the  strange 
gods,  and  the  idol  out  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  all  the  altars  that 
he  had  built  in  the  mount  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  Je-ru-sa- 
lem,  and  cast  them  out  of  the  city. 

16  And  he  repaired  the  altar  of 
the  Lord,  and  sacrificed  thereon 
peace  offerings  and  thank  offerings, 
and  commanded  Ju^ah  to  serve 
the  Lord  God  of  I§-ra-el. 

17  “Nevertheless  the  people  did 
sacrifice  still  in  the  high  places,  yet 
unto  the  Lord  their  God  only. 

18  U Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Ma-nas-s6h,  and  his  prayer  unto  his 
God,  and  the  words  of  ‘‘the  seers 
that  spake  to  him  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-6l,  behold, 
they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the 
kings  of  Is-ra-6l. 

19  His  prayer  also,  and  how  God 
was  intreated  of  him,  and  all  his 
sins,  and  his  trespass,  and  the  places 
wherein  he  built  high  places,  and 
set  up  groves  and  graven  images, 
before  he  was  humbled : behold, 
they  are  written  among  the  sayings 
of  '‘the  seers.

sendeth  to  Biddah  to  enquire  of  the  Lord.  23  Buldah 
prophesieth  the  destruction  of  Jerusalem.  29  Josiah 
reneweth  the  covenant  with  God. 


JO-SI-AH  ^was  eight  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
he  reigned  in  JAru-sa-l6m  one  and 
thirty  years. 

2 And  he  did  that  which  was  right 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  walked 
in  the  ways  of  DaMd  his  father,  and 
declined  neither  to  the  right  hand, 
nor  to  the  left. 

31!  For  in  the  eighth  year  of  his 
reign,  while  he  was  yet  young, 
he  began  to  ^seek  after  the  God 
of  Da-vid  his  father : and  in  the 
twelfth  year  he  began  *to  purge 
Ju-dah  and  Je-ru-sa-lem  *from  the 
high  places,  and  the  groves,  and 
the  carved  images,  and  the  molten 


images. 

4 And  they  brake  down  the  altars 
of  Ba-al-im  in  his  presence  ; and  the 
^images,  that  were  on  high  above 
them,  he  cut  down  ; and  the  groves, 
and  the  carved  images,  and  the 
molten  images,  he  brake  in  pieces, 
and  made  dust  of  them,  "and 
strowed  it  upon  the  ® graves  of  them 
that  had  sacrificed  unto  them. 

5 And  he  burnt  the  bones  of 
the  priests  upon  their  altars,  and 
cleansed  Ju-dah  and  Je-ru-sa-lern. 

6 And  so  did  he  in  the  cities 
of  Ma-nas-seh,  and  E-phra-im,  and 
Sim-6-5n,  even  unto  Naph-ta-ll 
with  their  ^mattocks  round  about

throughout  all  the  land  of  Is-ra-61, 
he  returned  to  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

8 H Now  "in  the  eighteenth  year 
of  his  reign,  when  he  had  purged 
the  land,  and  the  house,  he  sent 
Sha-phan  the  son  of  Az-S-li-ah,  and 
Ma-a-se-iah  the  governor  of  the  city, 
and  Jo-ah  the  son  of  Jo-a-haz  the 
recorder,  to  repair  the  house  of  the 
Lord  his  God. 

9 And  when  they  came  to  Hil-ki- 
ah  the  high  priest,  they  delivered 
"the  money  that  was  brought  into 
the  house  of  God,  which  the  Le-vites 
that  kept  the  doors  had  gathered 
of  the  hand  of  Ma-nas-seh  and 
E-phra-im,  and  of  all  the  remnant 
of  Is-ra-el,  and  of  all  Ju-dah  and 
Ben-ja-min;  and  they  returned  to 
JAru-sa-lem. 

10  And  they  put  it  in  the  hand 
of  the  workmen  that  had  the  over- 
sight of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
they  gave  it  to  the  workmen  that 
wrought  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
to  repair  and  amend  the  house : 

1 1 Even  to  the  artificers  and 
builders  gave  they  it,  to  buy  hewn 
stone,  and  timber  for  couplings,  and 
^to  floor  the  houses  which  the  kings 
of  Ju-dah  had  destroyed. 

12  And  the  men  did  the  work 
faithfully : and  the  overseers  of 
them  were  Ja-hath  and  O-ba-di-ah, 
the  Le-vites,  of  the  sons  of  Me-ra-ri ; 
and  Zech-a-ri-ah  and  Me-shul-lam, 
of  the  sons  of  the  Ko-hath-ites,  to 
set  it  forward  ; and  other  of  the  Le- 
vites,  all  that  could  skill  of  instru- 
ments of  musick. 

13  Also  they  were  over  the  bearers 
of  burdens,  and  were  overseers  of 
all  that  wrought  the  work  in  any 
manner  of  service  ; ^and  of  the  Le- 
vites  there  were  scribes,  and  officers, 
and  porters. 

14  t[  And  when  they  brought  out 
the  money  that  was  brought  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  Hil-ki-ah  the 
priest  found  a book  of  the  law  of 
the  Lord  given  ®by  Mo-ses. 

15  And  Hil-ki-ah  answered  and 
said  to  Sha-phan  the  scribe,  I have 
found  the  book  of  the  law  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord.  And  Hil-ki-ah 
delivered  the  book  to  Sha-phan. 

1 6 And  Sha-phan  carried  the  book 
to  the  king,  and  brought  the  king 
word  back  again,  saying.  All  that 
was  committed  ^to  thy  servants, 
they  do  it. 

17  And  they  have  ® gathered  to- 
gether the  money  that  was  found 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  have

18  Then  Sha-phan  the  scribe  told 
the  king,  saying,  Hil-ki-ah  the  priest 
hath  given  me  a book.  And  Sha- 
phan  read  Ht  before  the  king. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
king  had  heard  the  words  of  the 
law,  that  he  rent  his  clothes. 

20  And  the  king  commanded  Hil- 
ki-ah,  and  A-hi-kam  the  son  of 
Sha-phan,  and  ^Ab-don  the  son  of 
Mi-cah,  and  Sha-phan  the  scribe, 
and  A-sa-iah  a servant  of  the  king’s, 
saying, 

21  Go,  enquire  of  the  Lord  fpr 
me,  and  for  them  tliat  are  left  in 
Is-ra-el  and  in  Juklah,  concerning 
the  words  of  the  book  that  is  found : 
for  great  is  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
that  is  poured  out  upon  us,  because 
our  fathers  have  not  kept  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  to  do  after  all  that  is 
written  in  this  book. 

22  And  Hil-ki-ah,  and  they  that  the 
king  had  appointed^  went  to  Hul-dah 
the  prophetess,  the  wife  of  Shal-lum 
the  son  of  ®Tik-vath,  the  son  of 
®Has-rah,  keeper  of  the  ® wardrobe ; 
(now  she  dwelt  in  Je-ru-sa-lem  '^in 
the  college :)  and  they  spake  to  her 
to  that  ^ect. 

23  H And  she  answered  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  I§-ra-el,  Tell 
ye  the  man  that  sent  you  to  me, 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I 
will  bring  evil  upon  this  place,  and 
upon  the  inhabitants  thereof,  even 
all  the  curses  that  are  written  in 
the  book  which  they  have  read  be- 
fore the  king  of  Ju-dah  : 

25  Because  they  have  forsaken  me, 
and  have  burned  incense  unto  other 
gods,  that  they  might  provoke  rne 
to  anger  with  all  the  works  of  their 
hands  ; therefore  my  wrath  shall  be 
poured  out  upon  this  place,  and 
shall  not  be  quenched. 

26  And  as  for  the  king  of  Ju-dah, 
who  sent  you  to  enquire  of  the 
Lord,  so  shall  ye  say  unto  him. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  ts-ra-el 
concerning  the  words  which  thou 
hast  heard ; 

27  Because  thine  heart  was  tender, 
and  thou  didst  humble  thyself  be- 
fore God,  _ when  thou  heardest  his 
words  against  this  place,  and  against 
the  inhabitants  thereoi,  and  hum- 
bledst  thyself  before  me,  and  didst 
rend  thy  clothes,  and  weep  before 
me;  I have  even  heard  thee  also, 
saith  the  Lord. 

28  Behold,  I will  gather  thee  to 
thy  fathers,  and  thou  shalt  be  gath- 
ered to  thy  grave  in  peace,  neither 
shall  thine  eyes  see  all  the  evil

and  upon  the  inhabitants  of  the 
same.  So  they  brought  the  king 
word  again. 

29  IT  “Then  the  king  sent  and 
gathered  together  all  the  elders  of 
Ju-dah  and  Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

30  And  the  king  went  up  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  all  the 
men  of  Ju-dah,  and  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  the  priests, 
and  the  LeAites,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple, ^ great  and  small : and  he  read 
in  their  ears  all  the  words  of  the 
book  of  the  covenant  that  was  found 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

31  And  the  king  stood  in  ®his 
place,  and  made  a covenant  be- 
fore the  Lord,  to  walk  after  the 
Lord,  and  to  keep  his  command- 
ments, and  his  testimonies,  and  his 
statutes,  with  all  his  heart,  and 
with  all  his  soul,  to  perform  the 
words  of  the  covenant  which  are 
written  in  this  book. 

32  And  he  caused  all  that  were 
■^present  in  JAru-s4-lem  and  Ben- 
ja-min  to  stand  to  it.  And  the 
inhabitants  of  Je-ru-sa-lem  did  ac- 
cording to  the  covenant  of  God,  the 
God  of  their  fathers. 

33  And  Jo-si-ah  took  away  all  the 
abominations  out  of  all  the  coun- 
tries that  pertained  to  the  children 
of  Is-ra-el,  and  made  all  that  were 
present  in  Is-ra-el  to  serve,  even  to 
serve  the  Lord  their  God.  ^ And  all 
his  days  they  departed  not  *^from 
following  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
their  fathers. 

CHAPTER  35. 

1 Josiah  keepeth  a most  solemn  passover.  20  He,  provoking 
Pharaoh-nccho,  is  slain  at  Megiddo.  25  Lamentations 
for  Josiah. 

Moreover  -^jo-si-ah  kept  a 

passover  unto  the  Lord  in 
JAru-sa-lem:  and  they  killed  the 
passover  on  the  ^fourteenth  day 
of  the  first  month. 

2 And  he  set  tne  priests  in  their 
^charges,  and  * encouraged  them  to 
the  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
3 And  said  unto  the  Le-vites  * that 
taught  all  Ish4-el,  which  were  holy 
unto  the  Lord,  ^Put  the  holy  ark 
”dn  the  house  which  S6l-5-m0n  the 
son  of  Da-vid  king  of  Is-ra-6l  did 
build ; it  shall  not  be  a burden

the  Lord  your  God,  and  his  people 
Is-ra-el, 

4 And  prepare  yourselves  by  the 
° houses  of  your  fathers,  after  your 
courses,  according  to  the  ^writing  of

families  of  the  fathers  of  your 
brethren  " the  people,  and  after 
the  division  of  tne  families  of  the 
Le-vites. 

6 So  kill  the  passover,  and  ‘'sanc- 
tify yourselves,  and  prepare  your 
brethren,  that  they  may  do  accord- 
ing to  the  word  of  the  Loed  by  the 
hand  of  Mo-ses. 

7 And  J o-si-ah  ‘^gave^  to  the  people, 
of  the  flock,  lambs  and  kids,  all  for 
the  passover  offerings,  for  all  that 
were  present,  to  the  number  of 
thirty  thousand,  and  three  thou- 
sand bullocks : these  were  of  the 
king’s  substance. 

8 And  his  princes  ® gave  willingly 
unto  the  people,  to  the  priests,  and 
to  the  Le-vites  : Hil-ki-ah  and  Zech- 
a-ri-ah  and  JAhi'el,  rulers  of  the 
house  of  God,  gave  unto  the  priests 
for  the  passover  offerings  two  thou- 
sand and  six  hundred  small  cattle, 
and  three  hundred  oxen, 

9 -GOn-a-ni-ah  also,  and  She-ma-iah 
and  NAthan'e-6l,  his  brethren,  and

a-bad,  chief  of  the  Le-vites,  ^ gave 
unto  the  Le-vites  for  passover  of- 
ferings five  thousand  small  cattle, 
and  five  hundred  oxen. 

10  So  the  service  was  prepared, 
and  the  priests  ^ stood  in  their  place, 
and  the  Le-vites  in  their  courses,

and  the  priests  * sprinkled  the_  blood

du-thun  the  king’s  seer ; and  the 

porters  ^ waited  at  every  gate ; they 
might  not  depart  from  their  serv- 
ice ; for  their  brethren  the  Le-vites 
prepared  for  them. 

16  So  all  the  service  of  the  Loed 
was  prepared  the  same  day,  to  keep 
the  passover,  and  to  offer  burnt  of- 
ferings upon  the  altar  of  the  Loed, 
according  to  the  commandment  of 
king  Jo-si-ah. 

1 7 And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  that 
were  ^ present  kept  the  passover  at 
that  time,  and  the  feast  of  ® unleav- 
ened bread  seven  days. 

18  And  ■''there  was  no  passover  like 
to  that  kept  in  Is-ra-el  from  the  days 
of  Sam-u-6l  the  prophet;  neither 
did  all  the  kings  of  Is-r%el  keep 
such  a passover  as  Jo-si-ah  kept, 
and  the  priests,  and  the  Le-vites, 
and  all  Ju-dah  and  Is-ra-el  that 
were  present,  and  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

19  In  the  eighteenth  year  of  the 
reign  of  Jo-si-ah  was  this  passover 
kept. 

20  H S' After  all  this,  when  J o-si-ah 
had  prepared  the  ® temple,  Ne-eho 
king  of  E-gypt  came  up  to  fight 
against  Ghar^he-mish  by  Eu-phra- 
tes ; and  J o-si-ah  went  out  against 
him. 

21  But  he  sent  ambassadors  to 
him,  saying  What  have  I to  do 
with  thee,  thou  king  of  Ju-dah  1 
I come  not  against  thee  this  day, 
but  against  “the  house  wherewith 
I have  war:  for  God  commanded 
me  to  make  haste : forbear  thee 
from  meddling  with  God,  who  is 
with  me,  that  he  destroy  thee 
not. 

22  Nevertheless  Jo-si-ah  would  not 
turn  his  face  from  him,  but  ^dis- 
guised himself,  that  he  might  fight 
with  him,  and  hearkened  not  unto 
the  words  of  Ne^ho  from  the  mouth 
of  God,  and  came  to  fight  in  the 
valley  of  MAgid-d6. 

23  And  the  archers  shot  at  king 
Jo-si-ah;  and  the  king  said  to  hia 
servants.  Have  me  away ; for  I am 
sore  ^ wounded. 

24  ^His  servants  therefore  took 
him  out  of  that  chariot,  and  put 
him  in  the  second  chariot  that  he 
had ; and  they  brought  him  to  Je- 
ru-sa-lem,  and  he  died,  and  was 
buried  ^ in  one  of  the  sepulchres  of 
his  fathers.  And  ^ all  J u-dah  and 
Je-ru-sa-lem  mourned  for  Jo-si-ah. 

25  il  And  Jer-e-mi-ah  ’‘lamented 
for  Jo-si-ah:  and  all  the  singing 
men  and  the  singing  women  spake 
of  Jo-si-ah  in  their  lamentations  to 
this  day,  *and  made  them  an  ordi-

nance  in  ls-r4-el : and,  behold,  they 
are  written  in  the  lamentations. 

26  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo- 
si-ah,  and  his  ^ goodness,  according 
to  triat  which  was  written  in  the 
law  of  the  Loed, 

27  And  his  deeds,  first  and  last, 
behold,  they  are  written  in  the 
book  of  the  kings  of  Is-r4-el  and 
Ju-dah. 

CHAPTER  36. 

1 Jehoahaz  is  deposed  by  Pharaoh,  and  carried  into  Egypt. 
5 Jehoiakim  reigning  ill  is  carried  into  Babylon.  9 Je- 
hoiachin  succeedeth  him.  11  Zedekiah’s  wicked  reign. 
14  Jerusalem  is  wholly  destroyed.  22  The  proclamation 
qf  Cyrus. 

Then  the  people  of  the  land 
took  Je-ho-adiaz  the  son  of 
Jo-si-ah,  and  made  him  king  in  his 
father’s  stead  in  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

2 Je-ho-a-haz  was  twenty  and 
three  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  three  months 
in  Je-ru-sadem. 

3 And  the  king  of  E-gypt  ^put  him 
down  at  J6-ru-sa-lem,  and  ® con- 
demned the  land  in  an  hundred 
talents  of  silver  and  a talent  of  gold. 
4 And  the  king  of  E-gypt  made 
E-lI-a-kim  his  brother  king  over 
Ju-dah  and  Jo-ru^sa-lem,  and  turn- 
ed_  his  name  to  Je-hoi-a-kim.  And 
Ne-cho  took  Je-ho-a-haz  his  bro- 
ther, and  carried  him  to  E-gypt. 

5  U * Je-hoi-a-kim  was  twenty  and 
five  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  eleven  years 
in  Je-ru-sa-lem  : and  he  did  that 
which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Loed  his  God. 

6  Against  him  came  Neb-u- 
chad-nez-zar  king  of  Bab-y-lOn, 
and  bound  him  in  ’^fetters,  to 
carry  him  to  Bab-y-l5n. 

7  "'Neb-u-chad-nez-zar  also  carried 
of  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  the 
Loed  to  Bab-y-lOn,  and  put  them 
in  his  temple  at  Bab-y-lOn. 

8  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  JA 
hoEa-kim,  and  his  abominations 
which  he  did,  and  that  which  was 
found  in  him,  behold,  they  are 
written  in  the_  book  of  the  kings  of 
Is-ra-el  and  Ju-dah:  and  ®Je-hoi-a- 
ehin  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

9  ^ ^Je-hoi-a-ehin  vjas  eight  years 
old  when  he  began  to  reign,  and  he 
reigned  three  months  and  ten  days 
in  JAru-sa-l6m:  and  he  did  that 
which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Loed. 

10  And  ^when  the  year  was  ex- 
pired, “king  N6b-u-ehad-n6z-zar 
sent,  and  brought  him  to  Bab-y-l5n, 
*with  the  ^goodly  vessels  of  the 
house  of  the  Loed,  and  made  " ZSd-

11  H “Zed-e-ki-ah  was  one  and 
twenty  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  reigned  eleven  years 
in  JAru-sa-lem. 

12  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Loed  his 
God,  and  humbled  not  himself  be- 
fore Jer-e-mi-ah  the  prophet  speak- 
ing from  the  mouth  of  the  Loed. 

13  And  *he  also  rebelled  against 
king  Neb-u-chad-nez-zar,  who  had 
made  him  swear  by  Goa:  but  he 
® stiffened  his  neck,  and  hardened 
his  heart  from  turning  unto  the 
Loed  God  of  Is-r4-el. 

14  U Moreover  all  the  chief  of  the

very  much  after  all  the  abomina-

words,  and  ^misused  his  prophets, 
until  the  * wrath  of  the  Loed  arose 
against  his  people,  till  there  was  no 
® remedy. 

17  * Therefore  he  brought  upon 
them  the  king  of  the  -Ghal-dees, 
who  ^slew  their  young  men  with 
the  sword  in  the  house  of  their 
sanctuary,  and  had  no  compassion 
upon  young  man  or  maiden,  old 
man,  or  him  that  stooped  for  age : 
he  gave  them  all  into  his  hand. 

18  And  all  the  vessels  of  the  house 
of  God,  great  and  small,  and  the 
treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Loed, 
and  the  treasures  of  the  king,  and 
of  his  princes  ; all  these  he  brought 
to  Bably-lOn. 

19  “And  they  burnt  the  house  of 
God,  and  brake  down  the  wall  of 
Je-ru-s4-lem,  and  burnt  all  the  pal- 
aces thereof  with  fire,  and  destroyed 
all  the  goodly  vessels  thereof. 

20  And  "them^  that  had  escaped 
from  the  sword  carried  he  away  to 
Bab-y-l5n  ; ^ where  they  were  serv- 
ants to  him  and  his  sons  until  the 
reign  of  the  kine-dom  of  Per-si-a  :

by  the  mouth  of  “ J 6r-6-mi-4h,  until 
the  land  *had  en.joyed  her  sabbaths : 
for  as  long  as  she  lay  desolate  ^she 
kept  sabbath,  to  fulfil  threescore 
and  ten  years. 

22  H ^Now  in  the  first  year  of 
Cy-rus  king  of  Per-si-a,  that  the

CHAPTER  1. 

1 The  j/roclamatio-n  of  Cyrus  for  the  building  of  the  temple. 

5 The  people  provide  for  the  return.  7 Cyrus  restoreth  the 

vessels  of  the  temple  to  Hheshbazzar. 

in  the  first  year  of  Cy-riis 
JaI  king  of  Per-si-a,  that  the  word 
of  the  Lord  ‘by  the  mouth  of  Jer- 
e-mi-ah  might  be  fulfilled^  the  Lord 
stirred  up  the  spirit  of  Cy-rus  king 
of  Per-si-a,  that  he  ^made  a procla- 
mation throughout  all  his  kingdom, 
and  put  it  also  in  writing,  saying, 

2 Thus  saith  Cy-rus  king  of  Per- 
si-a,  The  Lord  "God  of  heaven  hath 
given  me  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth  ; and  he  hath  ®cha;rged  me  to 
build  hirn  an  house  at  JAru-sa-lem, 
which  is  in  Ju-dah. 

3 Who  is  there  among  you  of  all 
his  people  % his  God  be  with  him, 
and  let  him  go  up  to  JAru-sa-lemx, 
which  is  in  Ju-dah,  and  build  the 
house  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el, 
(^he  is  the  God,)  which  is  in  JAru- 
sa-lem. 

4 And  whosoever  remaineth  in 
any  place  where  he  sojourneth,  let 
the  men  of  his  place  ^help  him 
with  silver,  and  with  gold,  and  with 
goods,  and  with  beasts,  beside  the 
freewill  offering  for  the  house  of 
God  that  is  in  Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

5 H Then  rose  up  the  chief  of  the 
fathers  of  Ju-dah  and  Ben-ja-min 
and  the  priests,  and  the  Le-vites, 
with  all  them  whose  spirit  ^God  had 
raised,  to  go  up  to  build  the  house  of 
the  Lord  which  is  in  J e-ru-sa-lem. 

6 And  all  they  that  were  about 
them  ® strengthened  their  hands 
with  vessels  of  silver,  with  gold, 
with  goods,  and  with  beasts,  and 
with  precious  things,  beside  all  that 
was  willingly  offered. 

7 ^ *=Also  Qy-riis  the  king  brought 
forth  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  ‘which  Neb-u-ehad-n6z-zar 
had  brought  forth  out  of  JAru-sa- 
l6m,  and  had  put  them  in  the  house 
of  his  gods ; 

8 Even  those  did  Cy-riis  king  of

tinual burnt  offering,  both  of  the  new 
moons,  and  of  all  the  set  feasts  of  the 
Lord  that  were  consecrated,  and  of 
every  one  that  willingly  offered  a 
freewill  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

6 From  the  first  day  of  the  seventh 
month  began  they  to  offer  burnt 
offerings  unto  the  Lord.  But  ^the 
foundation  of  the  temple  of  the 
Lord  was  not  yet  laid. 

7 They  gave  money  also  unto  the 
masons,  and  to  the  ® carpenters ; and 
”^meat,  and  drink,  and  oil,  unto 
them  of  Zi-dCn,  and  to  them  of 
Tyre,  to  bring  cedar  trees  from 
Leb-a-n5n  to  the  sea  of  ”J5p-pa, 
® according  to  the  grant  that  they 
had  of  Cy-riis  king  of  Per-si-a. 

8 II  Now  in  the  second  year  ti 
their  coming  unto  the  house  of 
God  at  Je-ru-sa46m,  in  the  second 
month,  began  Ze-rtib-ba-bel  the  son 
of  ShAal-ti-el,  and  J6sh-u-a  the  son 
of  J5z-a-dak,  and  the  remnant  of 
their  brethren  the  priests  and  the 
Le-vites,  and  all  they  that  were 
come  out  of  the  captivity  unto  Je- 
ru-sa-l6m ; ’’and  appointed  the  Le- 
vites,  from  twenty  years  old  and 
upward,  to  set  forward  the  work  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

9 Then  stood  *J6sh-u-a  with  his 
sons  and  his  brethren,  Kad-mi-6l 
and  his  sons,  the  sons  of  ®Ju-dah, 
together,  to  set  forward  the  work- 
men in  the  house  of  God : the  sons 
of  Hen-a-dad,  with  their  sons  and 
their  brethren  the  Le-vites. 

10  And  when  the  builders  laid 
the  foundation  of  the  temple  of 
the  Lord,  “they  set  the  priests  in 
their  apparel  with  trumpets,  and 
the  Le-vites  the  sons  of  A-saph  with 
cymbals,  to  praise  the  Lord,  after 
the  "'ordinance  of  Da-vid  king  of 
Is-ra-el. 

11  »And  they  sang  together  by 
course  in  praising  and  giving  thanks 
unto  the  Lord  ; ^Decause  he  is  good, 
^for  his  mercy  endureth  for  ever 
toward  Is-ra-el.  And  all  the  people 
shouted  with  a great  shout,  when

The  tvorh  hindered. 

they  praised  the  Lord,  because  the 
foundation  of  the  house  of  the  Lord 
was  laid, 

12  “But  many  of  the  priests  and 
Le-vites  and  cnief  of  the  fathers, 
who  were  ancient  men,  that  had 
seen  the  first  house,  when  the  foun- 
dation of  this  house  was  laid  be- 
fore their  eyes,  wept  with  a loud 
voice ; and  many  shouted  aloud  for 
joy: 

13  So  that  the  people  could  not 
discern  the  noise  of  the  shout  of 
joy  from  the  noise  of  the  weep- 
ing of  the  people:  for  the  people 
shouted  with  a loud  shout,  and  the 
noise  was  heard  afar  off. 


CHAPTER  4. 

1 The  adversaries,  being  not  accepted  in  the  building  of  the 

temple  with  the  Jews,  endeavour  to  hinder  it.  7 Their 

letter  to  Artaxerxes.  17  The  decree  of  Artaxerxes.  23  The 

building  is  hindered. 

when  ^the  adversaries  of 
1\  Ju-dah  and  B6n-ja-min  heard 
that  ^the  children  of  the  captivity 
builded  the  temple  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  Is-ra-el ; 

2 Then  they  came  to  Ze-riib-ba-bel, 
and  to  the  chief  of  the  fathers,  and 
said  unto  them.  Let  us  build  with 
you : for  we  seek  your  God,  as  ye  do  ; 
and  we  do  sacrifice  unto  him  since 
the  days  of  E-sar-had-d5n  king  of 
As-sur,  which  brought  us  up  hither. 

3 But  Ze-rub-ba-bel,  and  Jesh-u-a, 
and  the  rest  of  the  chief  of  the 
fathers  of  Is-ra-6l,  said  unto  them, 
^Ye  have  nothing  to  do  with  us  to 
build  an  house  unto  our  God ; but 
we  ourselves  together  will  build 
unto  the_  Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  as 
‘king  ^y-rus  the  king  of  Per-si-a 
hath  commanded  us. 

4 Then  *the  people  of  the  land 
weakened  the  hands  of  the  people 
of  Ju-dah,  and  troubled  them  in 
building, 

5 Ana  hired  counsellors  against 
them,  to  frustrate  their  purpose,  all 
the  days  of  Cy-riis  king  of  Per-si-a, 
even  until  the  reign  of  Da-ri-us  king 
of  Per-si-a. 

6 And  in  the  reign  of  ^A-has-u-e- 
riis,  in  the  beginning  of  his  reign, 
wrote  they  unto  him  an  accusation 
against  the  inhabitants  of  Ju-dah 
and  JAru-sa-l6m. 

7 U And  in  the  days  of  Ar-tax- 
erx-es  wrote  Bishdam,  Mith-r6- 
dath,  Ta-be-6l,  and  the  rest  of  their 
* companions,  ^ unto  Ar-tax-erx-es 
king  of  Per-si-a;  and  the  writing 
of  the  letter  was  written  in  the 
S^rd-im  tongue,  and  interpreted 
in  the  Syrd-an  tongue.

Letter  to  Artaxerxes. 

gainst  Je-ru-sa-lem  to  Ar-tax-erx-es 
the  king  in  this  sort : 

9 Then  wrote  Re-hum  the  chan- 
cellor, and  Shim-shai  the  scribe, 
and  the  rest  of  their  ^companions ; 
*the  Di-na-ites,  the  A-phar-sath- 
■ehites,  the  Tar-pel-ites,  the  A-phar- 
sites,  the  Ar-ehe-yites,  the  Bab-y- 
lo-ni-an§,  the  Su-san-ehites,  the 
De-ha-vites,  and  the  Edam-ites, 

10  ‘’And  the  rest  of  the  nations 
whom  the  great  and  noble  As-nap- 
per  brought  over,  and  set  in  the 
cities  of  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and  the  rest 
that  are  on  this  side  the  river,  ‘'and 
‘^at  such  a time. 

11^  This  is  the  copy  of  the  let- 
ter that  they  sent  unto  him,  even 
unto  Ar-tax-erx-es  the  king;  Thy 
servants  the  men  on  this  side  the 
river,  and  at  such  a time.^ 

12  Be  it  known  unto  the  king,  that 
the  J^s  which  came  up  from  thee 
to  us  are  come  unto  Je-ru-sa-lem, 
building  the  rebellious  and  the  bad 
city,  and  have  ^set  up  the  walls 
thereof,  and  ® joined  the  foundations. 

13  Be  it  known  now  unto  the 
king,  that,  if  this  city  be  builded, 
and  the  walls  set  up  again,  then 
will  they  not  ®pay  ^toll,  tribute,  and 
custom,  and  so  thou  shalt  endamage 
the  ^revenue  of  the  kings. 

14  Now  because  fwe  have  main- 
tenance from  the  king's  palace,  and 
it  was  not  meet  for  us  to  see  the 
king’s  dishonour,  therefore  have  we 
sent  and  certified  the  king ; 

15  That  search  may  be  made  in 
the  book  of  the  records  of  thy 
fathers : so  shalt  thou  find  in  the 
book  of  the  records,  and  know  that 
this  city  is  a rebellious  cityj  and 
hurtful  unto  kings  and  provinces, 
and  that  they  have  ^ moved  sedition 
^within  the  same  of  old  time:  for 
which  cause  was  this  city  destroyed. 

16  We  certify  the  king  that,  if  this 
city  be  builded  again,  and  the  walls 
thereof  set  up,  by  this  means  thou 
shalt  have  no  portion  on  this  side 
the  river. 

17  ^ Then  sent  the  king  an  an- 
swer unto  Re-hum  the  chancellor, 
and  to  Shim-shai  the  scribe,  and  to 
the  rest  of  their  ^companions  that 
dwell  in  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and  unto  the 
rest  beyond  the  river.  Peace,  and 
at  such  a time. 

18  The  letter  which  ye  sent  unto  us 
hath  been  plainly  read  before  me. 

19  And  commanded,  and  search 
hath  been  made,  and  it  is  found 
that  this  city  of  old  time  hath 
’made  insurrection  against  kings, 
and  that  rebellion  and  sedition  have 
been  made  therein. 


Decree  of  Artaxerxes. 

20  There  have  been  mighty  kings 
also  over  J e-ru-sa-lem,  which  have 
“ruled  over  all  countries  * beyond 
the  river ; and  toll,  tribute,  and 
custom,  was  paid  unto  them. 

21  “Give  ye  now  commandment  to 
cause  these  men  to  cease,  and  that 
this  city  be  not  builded,  until  an- 
other commandment  shall  be  given 
from  me. 

22  Take  heed  now  that  ye  fail 
not  to  do  this  : why  should  damage 
grow  to  the  hurt  of  the  kings  % 

23  H Now  when  the  copy  of  king 
Ar-tax-erx-es’  letter  was  read  before 
Re-hum,  and  Shim-shai  the  scribe, 
and  their  companions,  they  went 
up  in_haste  to  Jb-ru-sa-lem  unto 
the  Je'ws,  and  made  them  to  cease 
^by  force  and  power. 

24  Then  ceased  the  work  of  the 
house  of  God  which  is  at  Je-ru-sa- 
lem.  So  it  ceased  unto  the  second 
year  of  the  reign  of  Da-ri-iis  king 
of  Per-si-a. 

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Zerubbabel  and  Jeahua,  incited  by  Haggai  and  Zecha- 
riah,  set  forward  the  building  of  the  temple.  3 Tatnai 
and  Shethar-boznai  could  not  hinder  the  Jews.  6 Their 
letter  to  Darius. 

Then  the  prophets,  ^Hag-gai  the 
prophet,  and  *Zeeh-a-ri-ah  the 
son  of  Id-do,  prophesied  unto  the 
Jews  that  were  in  Ju-dah  and  J6- 
ru-sa-lem  in  the  name  of  the  God 
of  Is-ra-el,  even  unto  them. 

2 Then  rose  up  *Z6-rub-ba-bel  the 
son  of  She-al-ti-el,  and  J6sh-u-a  the 
son  of  Joz-a-dak,  and  began  to 
build  the  house  of  God  which  is 
at  J6-ru-sa-l6m : and  with  them 
were  the  prophets  of  God  helping 
them. 

3 ^ At  the  same  time  came  to 
them  "‘Tat-nai,  governor  on  this 
side  the  river,  and  She-thar-b6z- 
nai,  and  their  companions,  and  said 
thus  unto  them,  “Who  hath  com- 
manded you  to  build  this  house, 
and  to  make  up  this  walH 
4 ^ Then  said  we  unto  them  after 
this  manner.  What  are  the  names 
of  the  men  ®that  make  this  build- 
ing 1 

5  But  ^the  eye  of  their  God  was 
upon  the  elders  of  the  Jews,  that 
they  could  not  cause  them  to 
cease,  till  the  matter  came  to 
Da-ri-us : and  then  they  returned 
* answer  by  letter  concerning  this 

6  ^ The  copy  of  the  letter  that 
Tat-nai,  governor  on  this  side  the 
river,  and  She-thar-b5z-nai,  *and 
his  companions  the  A-phar-sa«h- 
ites,  which  ivere  on  this  side  the 
river,  sent  unto  Da-ri-us  the  king: 


Letter  to  Darius, 

7 They  sent  a letter  unto  him, 
Gvherein  was  written  thus  ; Unto 
Da-ri-us  the  king,  all  peace. 

8 Be  it  known  unto  the  king,  that 
we  went  into  the  province  of  Ju- 
de-a,  to  the  house  of  the  great  God, 
which  is  builded  with  ^ great  stones, 
and  timber  is  laid  in  the  walls,  and 
this  work  goeth  fast  on,  and  pros- 
pereth  in  their  hands. 

9^  Then  asked  we  those  elders,  and 
said  unto  them  thus,  “Who  com- 
manded you  to  build  this  house, 
and  to  make  up  these  walls  1 

10  We  asked  their  names  also,  to 
certify  thee,  that  we  might  write 
the  names  of  the  men  that  were 
the  chief  of  them. 

1 1 And  thus  they  returned  us  an- 
swer, saying.  We  are  the  servants 
of  the  God  of  heaven  and  earth,  and 
build  the  house  that  was  builded 
these  many  years  ago,  which  a 
great  king  of  Is-ra-el  builded  ‘^and 
set  up. 

12  But  “after  that  our  fathers  had 
provoked  the  God  of_  heaven  unto 
wrath,  he  gave  them  into  the^  hand 
of  -^Neb-u-ehad-nez-zar  the  king  of 
Bab-y-l5n,  the  -Ghal-de-an,  who  de- 
stroyed this  house,  and  carried  the 
people  away  into  Bab-y-l6n. 

13  But  in  the  first  year  of  *Cy-rtis 
the  king  of  Bab-y-l6n  the  same  king 
Cy-rtis  made  a decree  to  build  this 
house  of  God. 

14  And  Hhe  vessels  also  of  gold 
and  silver  of  the  house  of  God, 
which  N eb-u-ehad-nez-zar  took  out 
of  the  temple  that  was  in  Je-ru- 
sa-lem,  and  brought  them  into  the 
temple  of  Bab-y-lhn,  those  did  CS)'- 
rtis  the  king  take  out  of  the  temple 
of  Bab-y-i6n,  and  they  were  deliv- 
ered unto  one,  ” whose  name  was 
Shesh-baz-zar,  whom  he  had  made 
® governor ; 

15  And  said  unto  him.  Take  these 
vessels,  go,  carry  them  into  the 
temple  that  is  in  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and 
let  the  house  of  God  he  builded  in 
his  place. 

16  Then  came  the  same  Sh6sh- 
baz-zar,  and  ^laid  the  foundation  of 
the  house  of  God  which  in  Je-ru- 
sa-lgm : and  since  that  time  even 
until  now  hath  it  been  in  building, 
and  ^yet  it  is  not  finished. 

17  Now  therefore,  if  it  seem  good 
to  the  king,  “let  there  be  search 
made  in  the  king’s  treasure  house, 
which  is  there  at  Bab-y-l6n,  whe- 
ther it  be  so,  that  a decree  was 
made  of  Cy-rus  the  king  to  build 
this  house  of  God  at  Je-ru-sa-l6m, 
and  let  the  king  send  his  pleasure 
to  us  concerning  this  matter.

Darius’s  decree  for 


EZRA,  6. 


advancing  the  huilding. 


CHAPTER  6. 

1 Dariui  maketh  a new  decree  for  advancing  the  building. 
13  By  the  help  of  the  enemies,  and  the  directions  of  the 
prophets,  the  temple  is  finished.  16  Feasts  of  the  dedica- 
tion, 19  and  of  the  passover. 

Then  Da-n-us  the  king  made  a 
decree,  ^and^  search  v/as  made 
in  the  house  of  the  rolls,  where  the 
treasures  were  ^laid  up  in  Bab-y-l5n. 
2 And  there  was  found  at  ^Ach- 
me-tha,  in  the  palace  that  is  in  the 
province  of  the  Medes,  a roll,  and 
therein  was  a record  thus  written : 
3 In  the  first  year  of  CyAiis  the 
king  the  same  Cy-rus  the  king  made 
a decree  concerning  the  house  of 
God  at  Je-ru-sa-lem,  Let  the  house 
be  builded,  the  place  where  they 
offered  sacrifices,  and  let  the  foun- 
dations thereof  be  strongly  laid  ; 
the  height  thereof  threescore  cu- 
bits, and  the  breadth  thereof  three- 
score cubits ; 

4  ® With  three  rows  of  great  stones, 
and  a row  of  new  timber : and  let 
the  expences  be  given  out  of  the 
king’s  house : 

5  And  also  let  -^the  golden  and 
silver  vessels  of  the  house  of  God, 
which  Neb-u-ehad-nez-zar  took 
forth  out  of  the  temple  which 
is  at  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  brought 
unto  Bab-y-ldn,  be  restored,  and 
® brought  again  unto  the  temple 
which  is  at  Je-ru-sa-lem,  every  one 
to  his  place,  and  place  them  in  the 
house  of  God. 

6  '^Now  therefore,  Tat-nai,  governor 
beyond  the  river,  SheAhar-bOz-nai, 
and  ®your  companions  the  A-phar- 
sach-ites,  which  are  beyond  the 
river,  be  ye  far  from  thence : 

7  Let  the  work  of  this  house  of 
G^  alone ; let  the  governor  of  the 
Jews  and  the  elders  of  the  Je'ws 
build  this  house  of  God  in  his 
place. 

8  Moreover  make  a decree  what 
y^shall  do  to  the  elders  of  these 
J ews  for  the  building  of  this  house 
of  God : that  of  the  king’s  goods, 
even  of  the  tribute  beyond  the 
river,  forthwith  expences  be  given 
unto  these  men,  that  they  be  not 
^hindered. 

9  And  that  which  they  have  need 
of,  both  young  bullocks,  and  rams, 
and  lambs,  for  the  burnt  offerings 
of  the  God  of  heaven,  wheat,  salt, 
wine,  and  oil,  according  to  the  ap- 
pointment of  the  priests  which  are 
at  J e-ru-sa-lem,  let  it  be  given  them 
day  by  day  without  fail : 

10  ‘That  they  may  offer  sacrifices 
W sweet  savours  unto  the  God  of 
heaven,  and  ^pray  for  the  life  of 
the  king,  and  of  his  sons.

11  Also  I have  made  a decree, 
that  whosoever  shall  alter  this 
word,  let  timber  be  pulled  down 
from  his  house,  and  being  set  up, 
Eet  him  be  hanged  thereon ; “and 
let  his  house  be  made  a dunghill 
for  this. 

1 2 And  the  God  that  hath  caused 
his  “name  to  dwell  there  destroy 
all  kings  and  people,  that  shah 
put  to  their  hand  to  alter  and  to 
destroy  this  house  of  God  which 
is  at  J e-ru-sa-lem,  I Da-ri-iis  have 
made  a decree  ; let  it  be  done  with 
speed. 

1 3 II  Then  Tat-nai,  governor  on 
this  side  the  river,  SheAhar-b6z-nai, 
and  their  companions,  according  to 
that  which  DAri-us  the  king  had 
sent,  so  they  did  speedily.  _ 

14  ‘‘And  the  elders  of  the  Jews 
builded,  and  they  prospered  through 
the  prophesying  of  Hag%ai  the  pro- 
phet and  Zech-a-ri-ah  the  son  of 
Id-do.  And  they  builded,  and  fin- 
ished it,  according  to  the  command- 
ment of  the  God  of  IshA-6l,  and 
according  to  the  ® commandment  of 
^CyAus,  and  ‘‘Da-ri-us,  and  ‘Ar-tax- 
efx-es  king  of  Per-si-a. 

1 5 And  this  house  was  finished  on 
the  third  day  of  the  month  A-dar, 
which  was  in  the  sixth  year  of  the 
reign  of  Da-ri-us  the  king. 

16  ^ And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el, 
the  priests,  and  the  Lewites,  and 
the  rest  of  ''the  children  of  the 
captivity,  kept  ‘the  dedication  of 
this  house  of  God  with  joy, 

17  And  offered  at  the  dedication 
of  this  house  of  God  an  hundred 
bullocks,  two  hundred  rams,  four 
hundred  lambs  ; and  for  a sin  offer- 
ing for  all  IsAa-el,  twelve  he  goats, 
according  to  the  number  of  the 
tribes  of  IsAa-el. 

18  And  they  set  the  priests  in  their 
^divisions,  and  the  LeAites  in  their 
“courses,  for  the  service  of  God, 
which  is  at  Je-ru-sa-l6m ; ^as^  it  is 
written  in  the  book  of  Mo-se§. 

19  And  the  children  of  the  cap- 
tivity kept  the  passover  «upon  the 
fourteenth  day^  of  the  first  month. 

20  For  the  priests  and  the  Le-vites 
were  ^purified  together,  all  of  them 
were-pwcQ,  and  ® killed  the  passover 
for  all  the  children  of  the  captivity, 
and  for  their  brethren  the  priests, 
and  for  themselves. 

21  And  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
which  were  come  again  out  of  cap- 
tivity, and  all  such  as  had  sepa- 
rated themselves  unto  them  from 
the  “filthiness  of  the  heathen  of  the 
land,  to  seek  the  Loud  God  of  Is- 
ra-el,  did  eat,

22  And  kept  the  “feast  of  unleav- 
ened bread  seven  days  with  joy : 
for  the  Lord  had  made  them  joy- 
ful, and  Hurned  the  heart  “of  the 
king  of  As-syr-i-a  unto  them,  to 
strengthen  their  hands  in  the  work 
of  the  house  of  God,  the  God  of

CHAPTER  7. 

1 Ezra  goeth  up  to  Jerusalem.  11  The  gracious  commis- 
sion of  Artaxerxes  to  Ezra.  27  Ezra  blesseth  God  for  his 
favour, 

l^OW  after  these  things,  in  the 
LM  reign  of  -^Ar-tax-erx-es  king  of 
Per-si-a,  Ez-ra  ^the  son  of  So-ra-iah, 
the  son  of  Az-a-ri-ah,  the  son  of 
Hil-ki-ah, 

2 The  son  of  Shal-liim,  the  son  of 
Za-d5k,  the  son  of  A-hi-tub, 

3 The  son  of  Am-a-rhah,  the  son 
of  Az-a-ri-ah,  the  son  of  Me-ra-iOth, 

4 The  son  of  Z6r-a-hi-ah,  the  son 
of  T7z-zi,  the  son  of  Buk-ki, 

5 The  son  of  Ab-i-shu-a,  the  son  of 
Phin-6-has,  the  son  of  E-lO-a-zar,  the 
son  of  Aar-On  the  chief  priest : 

6 This  Ez-ra  went  up  from  Bab-y- 
lOn ; and  he  was  ready  scribe  in 
the  law  of  Mo-ses,  which  the  Lord 
God  of  Is-ra-el  had  given  : and  the 
king  granted  him  all  his  request, 
"according  to  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
his  God  upon  him. 

7 “And  there  went  up  some  of 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el,  and  of  the 
priests,  and  ^^the  ’Le-vites,  and  the 
singers,  and  the  porters,  and  »the 
Neth4-nims,  unto  JAru-sa-lem,  in 
the  seventh  year  of  Ar-tax-e^’x-es 
the  king. 

8 And  he  came  to  Je-ru-sa-lem  in 
the  fifth  month,  which  was  in  the 
seventh  year  of  the  king. 

9 For  upon  the  first  day  of  the 
first  month  ‘-^began  he  to  go  up  from 
Bab-y-l5n,  and  on  the  first  day  of 
the  fifth  month  came  he  to  J Aru-sa- 
l6m,  ’’according  to  the  good  hand  of 
his  God  upon  him. 

10  For  Ez-ra  had  prepared  his 
heart  to  ^seek  the  law  of  the  Lord, 
and  to  do  it.,  and  to  * teach  in  Is-rAel 
statutes  and  judgments. 

11  U Now  this  is  the  copy  of  the 
letter  that  the  king  Ar-tax-erx^s 
gave  unto  Ez-ra  the  priest,  the 
scribe,  even  a scribe  of  the  words 
of  the  commandments  of  the  Lord, 
and  of  his  statutes  to  Is-ra-el. 

12  Ar-tax-erx-es,  “king  of  kings, 
^unto  Ez-ra  the  priest,  a scribe  of 
fche  law  of  the  God  of  heaven,  per- 
fect peace,  ^and  at  such  a time. 

13  1 make  a decree,  that  all  they

ioriests  and  Lefeites,  in  my  realm, 
vhich  are  minded  of  their  own

thine  hand ; 

15  And  to  carry  the  silver  and

sellors have  freely  offered  unto  the 
God  of  Is-ra-el,  “whose  habitation  is 
in  JAru-sa-lem, 

16  ^And  all  the  silver  and  gold 
that  thou  canst  find  in  all  the  prov- 
ince of  Bab-y-l5n,  with  the  free- 
will offering  of  the  people,  and  of 
the  priests,  ’offering  willingly  for 
the  house  of  their  God  which  is 
in  JAru-sa-l6m; 

17  That  thou  mayest  buy  speedily 
with  this  money  bullocks,  rams, 
lambs,  with  their  *meat  offerings 
and  their  drink  offerings,  and  feffer 
them  upon  the  altar  of  the  house  of 
your  God  which  is  in  J Aru-sa-l6m. 

18  And  whatsoever  shall  seem 
good  to  thee,  and  to  thy  brethren, 
to  do  with  the  rest  of  the  silver 
and  the  gold,  that  do  after  the  will 
of  your  God. 

19  The  vessels  also  that  are  given 
thee  for  the  service  of  the  house  of 
thy  God,  those  deliver  thou  before 
the  God  of  Je-ru-sMem. 

20  And  whatsoever  more  shall  be 
needful  for  the  house  of  thy  God,

king,  do  make  a decree  to  all  the 
treasurers  which  are  beyond  the 
river,  that  whatsoever  Ezfea  the 
priest,  the  scribe  of  the  law  of  the 
God  of  heaven,  shall  require  of  you, 
it  be  done  speedily, 

22  Unto  an  hundred  talents  of  sil-

of  wheat,  and  to  an  hundred  baths 
of  wine,  and  to  an  hundred  baths 
of  oil,  and  salt  without  prescribing

23  ^Whatsoever  is  commanded  by 
the  God  of  heaven,  let  it  be  dili-

God  of  heaven : for  why  should 
there  be  wrath  against  the  realm

and  with  them  threescore  males. 

14  Of  the  sons  also  of  Big-vai ; 
U-thai,  and  ^Zab-btid,  and  with 
them  seventy  males. 

15  H And  I gathered  them  together 
to  the  river  that  runneth  to  A-ha-va ; 
and  there  abode  we  in  tents  three 
days : and  I viewed  the  people,  and 
the  priests,  and  found  there  none  of 
the  -^sons  of  Le-vi. 

16  Then  sent  I for  E-li-e-zer,  for 
A-ri-el,  for  She-ma-iah,  and  for  El- 
na-than,  and  for  Ja-rib,  and  for  El- 
na-than,  and  for  Na-than,  and  for 
Zeeh-a-ri-ah,  and  for  Me-shul-lam, 
chief  men;  also  for  Joi-a-rib,  and 
for  El-na-than,  men  of  understand- 
ing. 

1 7 And  I sent  them  with  com- 
mandment unto  Id-do  the  chief  at 
the  place  -Ga-siph^-a,  and  told 
them  what  they  should  say  unto 
id-do,  and  to  his  brethren  the  Neth' 
i-nims,  at  the  place  Ca-siph-i-a,  that 
they  should  bring  unto  us  ministers 
for  the  house  of  our  God. 

18  And  by  the  good  hand  of  our 
God  upon  us  they  /‘brought  us  a 
man  of  understanding,  of  the  sons 
of  Mahdi,  the  son  of  Le-vi,  the  son 
of  Is-ra-el ; and  Sher-e-bi-ah,  with 
his  sons  and  his  brethren,  eighteen ; 

19  And  Hash-a-bi-ah,  and  with  him 
Je-sha-iah  of  the  sons  of  Me-ra-ri,  his 
brethren  and  their  sons,  twenty ; 

20  Also  of  the  N6th-i-nim§,  whom 
Da-vid  and  the  princes  had  appoint- 
ed for  the  service  of  the  Le-vites, 
two  hundred  and  twenty  Neth4- 
nims : all  of  them  were  expressed 
by  name. 

21  H Then  I "‘proclaimed  a fast 
there,  at  the  river  of  A-ha-va,  that 
we  might  "afflict  ourselves  before 
our  God,  to  seek  of  him  a ‘'right 
way  for  us,  and  for  our  little  ones, 
and  for  all  our  substance. 

22  For^I  was  ashamed  to  require 
of  the  king  a band  of  soldiers  and 
horsemen  to  help  us  against  the 
enemy  in  the  way  : because  we  had 
spoken  unto  the  king,  saying,  ^^The 
hand  of  our  God  is  upon  all  them 
W "good  that  seek  him ; but  his 
power  and  his  wrath  is  "against  all 
them  that  ‘forsake  him. 

23  So  we  fasted  and  besought  our 


467 


EZRA,  9. 


Ezra^s  charge  to  the  priests. 


Ezrais  prayer  and 


God  for  this : and  he  was  “intreated 
of  us. 

24  ^ Then  I separated  twelve  of 
the  chief  of  the  priests,  Sher-6-bi- 
ah,  Hash-a-bi-ah,  and  ten  of  their 
brethren  with  them, 

25  And  weighed  unto  them  ®the 
silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the  ves- 
sels, even  the  offering  of  the  house 
of  our  God,  which  the  king,  and  his 
counsellors,  and  his  lords,  and  all 
Is-ra-el  there  present,  had  offered  : 

26  I even  weighed  unto  their  hand 
six  hundred  and  fifty  talents  of  sil- 
ver, and  silver  vessels  an  hundred 
talents,  and  of  gold  an  hundred 
talents ; 

27  Also  twenty  basons  of  gold,  of 
a thousand  drams  ; and  two  vessels 
of  ^fine  copper,  ‘^precious  as  gold. 

28  And  1 said  unto  them.  Ye  are 
^holy  unto  the  Lord  ; the  vessels 
are  *holy  also;  and  the  silver  and 
the  gold  are  a freewill  offering  un- 
to the  Lord  God  of  your  fathers. 

29  Watch  ye,  and  keep  them,  until 
ye  weigh  them  before  the  chief  of 
the  priests  and  the  Le-vites,  and 
chief  of  the  fathers  of  IsYa-el,  at 
Je-ru-sa-lem,  in  the  chambers  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

30  So  took  the  priests  and  the 
Le-vites  the  weight  of  the  silver, 
and  the  gold,  and  the  vessels,  to 
bring  them  to  Je-ru-s4-lem  unto  the 
house  of  our  God. 

31  ^ Then  we  departed  from  the 
river  of  A-ha-va  on  the  twelfth  day

was  upon  us,  and  he  delivered  us 
from  the  hand  of  the  enemy,  and 
of  such  as  lay  in  wait  by  the  way. 

32  And  we  ’’came  to  Je-ru-sa-lem,

CHAPTER  9. 

1 Szra  mournethfor  the  affinity  of  the  people  with 
strangers.  5 Be  prayeth  unto  God. 

OW  when  these  things  were 
Ll  done,  the  princes  came  to  me, 
saying.  The  people  of  IsYa-el,  and 
the  priests,  and  the  Lewites,  have 
not  separated  themselves  from  the 
people  of  the  lands,  ^ doing  accord- 
ing to_  their  abominations,  even  of 
the  Ca-naan-iteKS  the  Hit-tites,  the 
Perhz-zites,  the  Jeb-u-sites,the  Am- 
mDn-ites,  the  Mo-ab-ites,  the  E-gyp- 
tians,  and  the  Am-6r-ites. 

2 For  they  have  -^taken  of  their 
daughters  for  themselves,  and  for 
their  sons:  so  that  the  '‘holy  seed 
have  '^mingled  themselves  with  the 
people  of  those  lands : yea,  the  hand 
of  the  princes  and  rulers  hath  been 
chief  in  this  trespass. 

3 And  when  I heard  this  thing,  H 
rent  my  garment  and  my  mantle, 
and  plucked  off  the  hair  of  my  head 
and  of  my  beard,  and  sat  down  ”‘as- 
tonied. 

4 Then  were  assembled  unto  me 
every  one  that  “trembled  at  the 
words  of  the  God  of  IsYa-el,  because 
of  the  transgression  of  those  that 
had  been  carried  away ; and  I sat 
astonied  until  the  “evening  sacrifice. 

5 U And  at  the  evening  sacrifice  I 
arose  up  from  my  “heaviness ; and 
having  rent  my  garment  and  my 
mantle,  I fell  upon  my  knees,  and 
^ spread  out  my  hands  unto  the  Lord 
my  God, 

6 And  said,  O my  God,  I am  ®a- 
shamed  and  blush  to  lift  up  my 
face  to  thee,  my  God:  for  *our  iniq- 
uities are  increased  over  our  head, 
and  our  “^trespass  is  ""grown  up  unto 
the  heavens. 

7 Since  the  days  of  our  fathers 
have  ^we  been  in  a great  trespass 
unto  this  day ; and  for  our  iniqui- 
ties ^have  we,  our  kings,  and  our 
priests,  been  delivered  into  the  hand 
of  the  kings  of  the  lands,  to  the 
sword,  to  captivity,  and  to  a sjDoil, 
and  to  “confusion  of  face,  as  it  is 
this  day. 

8 And  now  for  a ® little  space  grace 
hath  been  shewed  from  the  Lord 
our  God,  to  leave  us  a remnant  to 
escape,  and  to  give  us  ®a  nail  in 
his  holy  place,  that  our  God  may 
“lighten  our  eyes,  and  give  us  a 
little  reviving  in  our  bondage. 

9 For  we  were  bondmen  ; “ j^et  our 
God  hath  not  forsaken  us  in  our 


confession  of  sins. 


EZRA,  10. 


bondage,  but  “hath  extended  mercy 
unto  us  in  the  sight  of  the  kings  of 
Per-si-a,  to  give  us  a reviving,  to  set 
up  the  house  of  our  God,  and  ^to 
repair  the  desolations  thereof,  and 
CO  give  us  ‘^a  wall  in  Ju-dah  and  in 
Je-ru-sa-lem. 

10  And  now,  O our  God,  what  shall 
we  say  after  this  % for  we  have  for- 
saken thy  commandments, 

11  Which  thou  hast  commanded 
^ by  thy  servants  the  prophets,  say- 
ing, The  land,_  unto  which  ye  go 
to  possess  it.,  is  an  unclean  land 
with  the  ^filthiness  of  the  people  of 
the  lands,  with  their  abominations, 
which  have  filled  it  ^from  one  end 
to  another  with  their  uncleanness. 

12  Now  therefore  '‘give  not  your 
daughters  unto  their  sons,  neither 
take  their  daughters  unto  your  sons, 
*nor  seek  their  peace  or  their  wealth 
for  ever:  that  ye  may  be  strong, 
and  eat  the  good  of  the  land,  and 
' leave  it  for  an  inheritance  to  your 
children  for  ever. 

13  And  after  all  that  is  come  upon 
us  for  our  evil  deeds,  and  for  our 
great  trespass,  seeing  that  thou  our 
God  ”*hast^  punished  us  less  than  our 
iniquities  deserve,  and  hast  given  us 
such  deliverance  as  this  ; 

14  Should  we  "‘again  break  thy 
commandments,  and  "join  in  affinity 
with  the  people  of  these  abomina- 
tions % wouldest  not  thou  be  ^ angry 
with  us  till  thou  hadst  consumed 
us,  so  that  there  shoidd  be  no  rem- 
nant nor  escaping'?  ^ 

15  O Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  «thou 
art  righteous : for  we  remain  yet 
escaped,  as  it  is  this  day : behold, 
we  are  * before  thee  Gn  our  tres- 
passes : for  we  cannot  ‘‘stand  before 
thee  because  of  this.

weeping  and  casting  himself  down 
“before  the  house  of  God,  there  as- 
sembled unto  him  out  of  Is-ra-6l  a 
very  great  congregation  of  men  and 
women  and  children : for  the  people 
® wept  very  sore. 

2 And  Shg-eh-a-ni-ah  the  son  of 
JAhi-61,  one  of  the  sons  of  Edam, 
answered  and  said  unto  Ez-ra,  We 
have  * trespassed  against  our  God, 
and  have  taken  strange  wives  of  the 
people  of  the  land : yet  now  there 
is  hope  in  Is-ra-6l  concerning  this 
thing.

4 Arise ; for  this  matter  belongeth

thee : ®be  of  good  courage,  and  do  it. 

5 Then  arose  EzHa,  and  made  the 
chief  priests,  the  LeWites,  and  all 
IsHa-el,  ^ to  swear  that  they  should 
do  according  to  this  word.  And 
they  sware. 

6 II  Then  EzHa  rose  up  from  before 
the  house  of  God,  and  went  into 
the  chamber  of  J6-ha-nan  the  son 
of  E-h-a-shib:  and  when  he  came 
thither,  he  ‘did  eat  no  bread,  nor 
drink  water : for  he  mourned  be- 
cause of  the  transgression  of  them 
that  had  been  carried  away. 

7 And  they  made  proclamation 
throughout  J u-dah  and  Je-ru-s4-lem 
unto  all  the  children  of  the  captiv- 
ity, that  they  should  gather  them- 
selves together  unto  JAru-sa-lem  ; 

8 And  that  whosoever  would  not 
come  within  three  days,  according 
to  the  counsel  of  the  princes  and 
the  elders,  all  his  substance  should 
be  ^forfeited,  and  himself  separated 
from  the  congregation  of  those  that 
had  been  carried  away. 

9 H Then  all  the  men  of  Ju-dah  and 
Ben-3  a-min  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether unto  Je-ru-sa-lem  within 
three  days.  It  was  the  ninth  month, 
on  the  twentieth  day  of  the  month ; 
and  "'all  the  people  sat  in  the  street 
of  the  house  of  God,  trembling  be- 
cause of  this  matter,  and  for  ''  the 
great  rain. 

10  And  EzHa  the  priest  stood  up, 
and  said  unto  them.  Ye  have  trans- 
gressed, and  ®have  taken  strange 
wives,  to  increase  the  trespass  of 
IsHa-el. 

i 1 Now  therefore  '‘^make  confession 
unto  the  Lord  God  of  your  fathers, 
and  do  his  pleasure  : and  ^ separate 
yourselves  from  the  people  of  the 
land,  and  from  the  strange  wives. 

1 2 Then  all  the  congregation  an- 
swered and  said  with  a loud  voice. 
As  thou  hast  said,  so  must  we  do. 

13  But  the  people  are  many,  and 
it  is  a time  of  much  rain,  and  we 
are  not  able  to  stand  without,  nei- 
ther is  this  a work  of  one  day  or 
two : for  ^ we  are  many  that  have 
transgressed  in  this  thing. 

14  Let  now  our  rulers  of  all  the 
congregation  stand,  and  let  all  them 
which  have  taken  strange  wives  in 
oui*  cities  come  at  appointed  times,

matter : and  Me-shul-lam  and  Shab-

16  And  the  children  of  the  cap- 
tivity did  so.  And  Ez-ra  the  priest, 
with  certain  chief  of  the  fathers, 
after  the  house  of  their  fathers,  and 
ftll  of  them  by  their  names,  were 
separated,  and  sat  down  in  the  first 
day  of  the  tenth  month  to  examine 
the  matter. 

17  And  they  made  an  end  with 
all  the  men  that  had  taken  strange 
wives  by  the  first  day  of  the  first 
month. 

18  H And  among  the  sons  of  the

taken  strange  wives  : namely,  of  the

4 U And  it  came  to  pass,  when  I 
heard  these  words,  that  1 sat  down 
and  wept,  and  mourned  certain 
day.s  and  fasted,  and  prayed  before 
the  God  of  heaven, 

5 And  said,  I beseech  thee,  Lord 
God  of  heaven,  the  great  and  ter- 
rible God,  ^ that  keepeth  covenant

word  that  thou  commandedst  thy 
servant  Mo^es,  saying,  ye  trans- 
gress, I will  scatter  you  abroad  a- 
mong  the  nations : 

9 ”But  if  ye  turn  unto  me,  and 
keep  my  commandments,  and  do 
them ; ^ though  there  were  of  you 
cast  out  unto  the  uttermost  part  of 
the  heaven,  yet  will  I gather  them 
from  thence,  and  will  bring  them 
unto  the  place  that  I have  chosen 
to  set  my  name  there. 

10  ^Now  these  are  thy  servants 
and  thy  people,  whom  thou  hast 
redeemed  oy  thy  great  power,  and 
by  thy  strong  hand. 

110  Lord,  I beseech  thee,  Ret  now 
thine  ear  be  attentive  to  the  prayer 
of  thy  servant,  and  to  the  prayer 
of  thy  servants,  who  ^desire  to  fear 
thy  name : and  prosper,  I pray  thee, 
thy  servant  this  day,  and  grant  him 
mercy  in  the  sight  of  this  man.  For 
I was  the  king’s  * cupbearer.

Now  I had  not  been  heforetime  sad

seeing  thou  art  not  sickl  this  is 
nothing  else  but  ^sorrow  of  heart. 
Then  I was  very  sore  afraid, 

3 And  said  unto  the  king,  ‘’Let 
the  king  live  for  ever  : why  should 
not  my  countenance  be  sad,  when 
‘^the  city,  the  place  of  my  fathers’  se- 
pulchres, lieth  waste,  and  the  gates 
thereof  are  consumed  with  fire  % 

4 Then  the  king  said  unto  me.  For 
what  dost  thou  make  request  % So 
I prayed  to  the  God  of  heaven. 

5 And  I said  unto  the  king,  If  it 

E lease  the  king,  and  if  thy  servant 
ave  found  favour  in  thy  sight,  that 
thou  wouldest  send  me  unto  Ju-dah, 
unto  the  city  of  my  fathers’  sepul- 
chres, that  I may  build  it. 

6  And  the  king  said  unto  me,  (the 
^ queen  also  sitting  by  him,)  For  how 
long  shall  thy  journey  be  % and  when 
wilt  thou  return  1 So  it  pleased  the 
king  to  send  me ; and  i set  him  *a 
time. 

7  Moreover  I said  unto  the  king, 
If  it  please  the  king,  let  letters  be 
given  me  to  the  governors  beyond 
the  river,  that  they  may  convey  me 
over  till  I come  into  Ju-dah  ; 

8  And  a letter  unto  A-saph  the 
keeper  of  the  king’s  forest,  that  he 
may  give  me  timber  to  make  beams 
for  the  gates  of  the  palace  which  ap- 
pertained "to  the  house,  and  for  the 
wall  of  the  city,  and  for  the  house 
that  I shall  enter  into.  And  the 
king  granted  me,  ^according  to  the 
good  hand  of  my  God  upon  me. 

9  H Then  I came  to  the  governors 
beyond  the  river,  and  gave  them 
the  king’s  letters.  Now  the  king 
had  sent  captains  of  the  army  and 
horsemen  with  me. 

10  When  San-bMdat  the  Hdr-o- 
nlte,  and  T6-bi-ah  the  servant,  the 
Am-m5n-ite,  heard  of  it,  it  grieved 
them  exceedingly  that  there  was 
come  a man  to  seek  the  welfare  of 
the  children  of  Is-ra^el. 

11  So  I “came  to  Je-ru-sAlgm,  and 
was  there  three  days. 

12  H And  I arose  in  the  night,  I 
and  some  few  men  with  me;  nei- 
ther told  I any  man  what  my  God 
had  put  in  my  heart  to  do  at  Je-ru- 
sa-lem  : neither  was  there  any  beast 
with  me,  save  the  beast  that  I rode 
upon. 

13  And  I went  out  by  night  ^by 
the  gate  of  the  valley,  even  before 
the  dragon  well,  and  to  the  dung 
port,  and  viewed  the  walls  of  JAru- 
s4-l6m,  which  were  * broken  down, 
and  the  gates  thereof  were  con- 
sumed with  fire. 

14  Then  I went  on  to  the  ‘’gate  of 
the  fountain,  and  to  the  king’s  pool; 


The  names  and  ' NEHEMIAH,  3.  order  of  them  that 


but  there  was  no  place  for  the  beast 
that  ivas  under  me  to  pass. 

15  Then  went  I up  in  the  night  by 
the  brook,  and  viewed  the  wall,  and 
turned  back,  and  entered  by  the  gate 
of  the  valley,  and  so  returned. 

1 6 And  the  rulers  knew  not  whi- 
ther I went,  or  what  I did ; neither 
had  I as  yet  told  it  to  the  Jews,  nor 
to  the  priests,  nor  to  the  nobles,  nor 
to  the  rulers,  nor  to  the  rest  that  did 
the  work. 

17  ^ Then  said  I unto  them.  Ye 
see  the  distress  that  we  are  in,  how 
JAru-sa-lem  lieth  waste,  and  the 
gates  thereof  are  burned  with  fire  : 
come,  and  let  us  build  up  the  wall 
of  JAru-sa-lem,  that  we  be  no  more 
^a  reproach. 

18  Then  I told  them  of  -^the  hand 
of  my  God  which  was  good  upon 
me ; as  also  the  king’s  words  tnat 
he  had  spoken  unto  me.  And  they 
said,  Let  us  rise  up  and  build.  So 
they  '"strengthened  their  hands  for 
this  good  ivork. 

19  But  when  San-balTat  the  H5r- 
o-nite,  and  T6-bi-ah  the  servant, 
the  Am-m5n-ite,  and  Ge-shem  the 
A-ra-bi-an,  heard  it,  they  Taughed 
us  to  scorn,  and  despised  us,  and 
said,  What  is  this  thing  that  ye  do^ 
'=will  ye  rebel  against  the  king? 

20  Then  answered  I them,  and 
said  unto  them.  The  God  of  heaven, 
he  will  prosper  us ; therefore  we 
his  servants  will  arise  and  build  : 
”"but  ye  have  no  portion,  nor  right, 
nor  memorial,  in  JAru-sa-lem.

CHAPTER  4. 

1 While  the  enemies  scoff,  JVehemiah  prayeth  and  eon- 
tinaeth  the  work.  7 He  setteth  a watch.  13  Be  armeth 
the  labourers,  19  and  giveth  military  precepts. 

But  it  came  to  pass,  “that  when 
San-baldat  heard  that  we  build- 
ed the  wall,  he  was  wroth,  and 
took  g£eat  indignation,  and  mocked 
the  Jews. 

2  And  he  spake  before  his  breth- 
ren and  the  army  of  Sa-madi-a, 
and  said.  What  do  these  feeble 
Je'wsi  will  they  ^fortify  them- 
selves'? will  they  sacrifice?  wdl 
they  make  an  end  in  a day?  will 
they  revive  the  stones  out  of  the 
heaps  of  the  rubbish  which  are 
burned  ? 

3  Now  ®T6-bi-ah  the  Am-m5n-ite 
ivas  by  him,  and  he  said.  Even  that 
which  they  build,  if  a fox  go  up, 
he  shall  even  break  down  their 
stone  wall. 

4  ‘^Hear,  O our  God;  for  we  are 
■^despised : and  ®turn  their  reproach 
upon  their  own  head,  and  give  them 
for  a prey  in  the  land  of  captivity  : 
5 And  ^ cover  not  their  iniquity, 
and  let  not  their  sin  be  blotted  out 
from  before  thee:  for  they  have 
provoked  thee  to  anger  before  the 
builders. 

6  So  built  we  the  wall ; and  all 
the  wall  was  joined  together  unto 
the  half  thereof : for  the  people  had 
a mind  to  work. 

7  51  But  it  came  to  pass,  that  ’^when 
San-bal-lat,  and  To-bl-ah,  and  the 
A-ra-bi-ans,  and  the  Am-mgn-Ites, 
and  the  Ash-dcd-ites,  heard  that  the 
walls  of  Je-ru-sa-lem  "were  made 
up,  and  that  the  breaches  began  to 
be  stopped,  then  they  were  very 
wroth, 

8  And  '’conspired  all  of  them^  to- 
gether to  come  and  to  fight  against 
Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  ®to  hinder  it. 

9  Nevertheless  ^we  made  our 
prayer  unto  our  God,  and  set  a 
watch  against  them  day  and  night, 
because  of  them. 

10  And  Ju-dah  said.  The  strength 
of  the  bearers  of  burdens  is  decayed, 
and  there  is  much  rubbish  ; so  that 
we  are  not  able  to  build  the  wall. 

1 1  And  our  adversaries  said,  They 
shall  not  know,  neither  see,  till  we 
come  in  the  midst  among  them, 
and  slay  them,  and  cause  the  work 
to  cease.

12  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  the  Jew§  which  dwelt  by 
them  came,  they  said  unto  us  ten 
times,  ^From  all  places  whence  ye 
shall  return  unto  us  they  will  be 
upon  you. 

13  H Therefore  set  I ^in  the  lower 

E laces  behind  the  wall,  and  on  the 
igher  places,  I even  set  the  pe9- 
ple  after  their  families  with  their 
swords,  their  spears,  and  their 
bows. 

14  And  I looked,  and  rose  up, 
and  said  unto  the  nobles,  and  to 
the  rulers,  and  to  the  rest  of  the 
people,  ®Be  not  ye  afraid  of  them : 
remember  the  Lord,  which  is  ‘^great 
and  terrible,  and* fight  for  your  bre- 
thren, your  sons,  and  your  daugh- 
ters, your  wives,  and  your  houses. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  our 
enemies  heard  that  it  was  known 
unto  us,  •'^and  God  had  brought  their 
counsel  to  nought,  that  we  returned 
all  of  us  to  the  wall,  every  one  unto 
his  work. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  from  that 
time  forth,  that  the  half  of  my 
servants  wrought  in  the  work,  and 
the  other  half  of  them  held  both 
the  spears,  the  shields,  and  the 
bows,  and  the  habergeons ; and  the 
rulers  were  behind  all  the  house  of 
Ju^ah. 

1 7  They  which  builded  on  the  wall, 
and  they  that  bare  burdens,  with 
those  that  laded,  every  one  with  one 
of  his  h^inds  wrought  in  the  work, 
and  with  the  other  hand  held  a 
weapon. 

18  For  the  builders,  every  one  had 
his  sword  girded  ^by  his  side,  and 
so  builded.  And  he  that  sounded 
the  trumpet  was  by  me. 

1 9  H And  I said  unto  the  nobles, 
and  to  the  rulers,  and  to  the  rest 
of  the  people,  The  work  is  great  and 
large,  and  we  are  separated  upon 
the  wall,  one  far  from  another. 

20  In  what  place  therefore  ye  hear 
the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  resort  ye 
thither  unto  us : ”our  God  shall  fight 
for  us. 

21  So  we  laboured  in  the  work 
and  half  of  them  held  the  spears 
from  the  rising  of  the  morning  till 
the  stars  appeared. 

22  Likewise  at  the  same  time  said 
I unto  the  people.  Let  every  one 
with  his  servant  lodge  within  Je-ru- 
sa-iSm,  that  in  the  night  they  may 
be  a gnard  to  us,  and  labour  on  the 

2?  So  neither  I,  nor  my  brethren, 
nor  my  servants,  nor  the  men  of 
the  guard  which  followed  me,  none 
of  us  put  off  our  clothes,  ^saving

CHAPTER  5. 

1 The  Jews  complain  of  their  debt,  mortgage,  and  bondagt 

6 Nehemiah  rebuketh  the  usurers,  and  causeth  them  ti 

make  a covenant  of  restitution.  14  Ee  forbeareth  hi 

own  allowance,  and  keepeth  hospitality. 

AND  there  was  a great  “cry  of 
jlA_  the  people  and  of  their  wives 
against  their  * brethren  the  J^s. 

2 For  there  were  that  said.  We,  our 
sons,  and  our  daughters,  are  many  i 
therefore  we  take  up  corn  for  them., 
that  we  may  eat,  and  live. 

3 Some  also  there  were  that  said. 
We  have  mortgaged  our  lands,  vine- 
yards, and  houses,  that  we  might 
buy  corn,  because  of  the  dearth. 

4 There  were  also  that  said.  We 
have  borrowed  money  for  the  king’s 
tribute,  ard  that  upon  our  lands 
and  vineyards. 

5 Yet  now  ^our  flesh  is  as  the  flesh 
of  our  brethren,  our  children  as 
their  children:  and,  lo,  we  '"bring 
into  bondage  our  sons  and  our 
daughters  to  be  servants,  and  some 
of  our  daughters  are  brought  unto 
bondage  already:  neither  is  it  in 
our  power  to  redeem  them;  iov  other 
men  have  our  lands  and  vineyards. 

6 II  And  I was  very  angry  when  I 
heard  their  cry  and  these  words. 

7 Then  consulted  with  myself, 
and  I rebuked  the  nobles,  and  the 
rulers,  and  said  unto  them,  * Ye  ex- 
act usury,  every  one  of  his  brother. 
And  I set  a great  assembly  against 
them. 

8 And  I said  unto  them.  We  after 
our  ability  ha ve_  * redeemed  our 
brethren  the  J^s,  which  were 
sold  unto  the  heathen;  and  will 
ye  even  sell  your  brethren  1 or 
shall  they  be  sold  unto  us^  Then 
held  they  their  peace,  and  found 
nothing  to  answer.^ 

9 Also  I said,  It  is  not  good  that 
ye  do  : ought  ye  not  to  walk  'in  the 
fear  of  our  God  ""because  of  the  re- 
proach of  the  heathen  our  enemies  % 

10  I likewise,  and  my  brethren, 
and  my  servants,  might  exact  of 
them  money  and  corn : I pray  you, 
let  us  leave  off  this  usury. 

11  Restore,  I pray  you,  to  them, 
even  this  day,  their  lands,  their 
vineyards,  their  oliveyards,  and 
their  houses,  also  the  hundredth 
part  of  the  money,  and  of  the 
corn,  the  wine,  and  the  oil,  that 
ye  exact  of  them. 

12  Then  said  they,  We  will  re- 
store them,  and  will  require  no- 
thing of  them ; so  will  we  do  as 
thou  sayest.  Then  I called  the 
priests,  "and  took  an  oath  of  them, 


jSehemiaKs  hospitality.

that  they  should  do  according  to 
this  promise. 

13  Also  “I  shook  my  lap,  and  said, 
So  God  shake  out  every  man  from 
his  house,  and  from  his  labour,  that 
performeth  not  this  promise,  even 
thus  be  he  shaken  out,  and  ^emp- 
tied. And  all  the  congregation  said. 
A-men',  and  praised  the  Lord.  ^ And 
the  people  did  according  to  this 
promise. 

14  H Moreover  from  the  time  that 
I was  appointed  to  be  their  gover- 
nor in  the  land  of  Ju-dah,  from  the 
twentieth  year  ^ even  unto  the  two 
and  thirtieth  year  of  Ar-tax-erx-es 
the  king,  that  is,  twelve  years,  I 
and  my  brethren  have  not  ® eaten 
the  bread  of  the  governor. 

15  But  the  former  governors  that 
had  been  before  me  were  chargeable 
unto  the  people,  and  had  taken  of 
them  bread  and  wine,  beside  forty 
shek'gls  of  silver  ; yea,  even  their 
servants  bare  rule  over  the  people  : 
but  -^so  did  not  I,  because  of  the 
^fear  of  God. 

16  Yea,  also  I continued  in  the 
work  of  this  wall,  neither  bought  we 
any  land  : and  all  my  servants  were 
gathered  thither  unto  the  work. 

17  Moreover  there  were  ^at  my 
cable  an  hundred  and  fifty  of  the 
Je'w?  and  rulers,  beside  those  that 
came  unto  us  from  among  the  hea- 
then that  are  about  us. 

18  Now  that  * which  was  prepared 
for  me  daily  was  one  ox  and  six 
choice  sheep ; also  fowls  were  pre- 
pared for  me,  and  once  in  ten  days 
store  of  all  sorts  of  wine : yet  for 
all  this  * required  not  I the  bread  of 
the  governor,  because  the  bondage 
was  heavy  upon  this  people. 

19  * Think  upon  me,  my  God,  for 

good,  according  to  all  that  I have 
one  for  this  people.

meet  together  in  some  one  of  the 
villages  in  the  plain  of  * O-nO.  But 
they  ^thought  to  do  me  mischief.

them,  saying,  I am  doing  a great

work,  so  that  I cannot  come  down  : 
why  should  the  work  cease,  whilst  I 
leave  it,  and  come  down  to  you  ^ 

4 Yet  they  sent  unto  me  four  times 
after  this  sort ; and  I answered  them 
after  the  same  manner. 

5 Then  sent  San-bal-lat  his  servant 
unto  me  in  like  manner  the  fifth 
time  with  an  open  letter  in  his 
hand  * 

6 Wherein  was  written.  It  is  re^ 
ported  among  the  heathen,  and 
^Gash-mu  saith  it,  '^that  thou  and 
the  J^s  think  to  rebel : for  which 
cause  thou  buildest  the  wall,  that 
thou  mayest  be  their  king,  accord- 
ing to  these  words. 

7 And  thou  hast  also  appointed 
projihets  to  preach  of  thee  at  Je- 
ru-sa-lem,  saying.  There  is  a king 
in  Ju-dah : and  now  shall  it  be 
reported  to  the  king  according  to 
these  words.  Come  now  therefore, 
and  let  us  take  counsel  together. 

8 Then  I sent  unto  him,  saying. 
There  are  no  such  things  done  as 
thou  sayest,  but  thou  feignest  them 
out  of  thine  own  heart. 

9 For  they  all  made  us  afraid,  say- 
ing, Their  hands  shall  be  weakened 
from  the  work,  that  it  be  not  done. 
Now  therefore,  0 God,  strengthen 
my  hands. 

10  Afterward  I came  unto  the 
house  of  She-ma-iah  the  son  of  D6- 
la-iah  the  son  of  Me-het-a-beel,  who 
was  shut  up ; and  he  said,  Let  us 
meet  together  in  the  house  of  God, 
within  the  temple,  and  let  us  shut 
the  doors  of  the  temple:  for  they 
will  come  to  slay  thee ; yea,  in  the 
night  will  they  come  to  slay  thee. 

1 1 And  I said.  Should  such  a man 
as  I flee'?  and  who  is  there,  that, 
being  as  I am,  would  go  into  the 
temple  to  save  his  life '?  I will  not 
go  in. 

12  And,  lo,  I perceived  that  God 
had  not  sent  him;  but  that  ^he 
pronounced  this  prophecy  against 
me : for  To^bi-ah  and  San-bal-lat 
had  hired  him. 

13  Therefore  was  he  hired,  that  I 
should  be  afraid,  and  do  so,  and  sin, 
and  that  they  might  have  matter 
for  an  evil  report,  that  they  might 
reproach  me. 

14  ^My  God,  think  thou  upon  T6- 
bi-ah  and  San-baTlat  according  to 
these  their  works,  and  on  the  « pro- 
phetess N6-a-di-ah,  and  the  rest  of 
the  prophets,  that  would  have  put 
me  in  fear. 

15  IT  So  the  wall  was  finished  in 
the  twenty  and  fifth  day  of  the 
month  Ediil,  in  fifty  and  two  days. 

1 6 And  it  came  to  pass,  that  “when

all  our  enemies  heard  thereof  and 
all  the  heathen  that  were  about  us 
saw  these  things,  they  were  much 
cast  down  in  their  own  eyes:  for 
“they  perceived  that  this  work  was 
wrought  of  our  God. 

17  H Moreover  in  those  days  the 
nobles  of  Ju-dah  ^sent  many  letters 
unto  T6-bi-ah,  and  the  letters  of  T6- 
bi-ah  came  unto  them. 

18  For  there  were  many  in  Ju-dah 
sworn  unto  him,  because  he  was 
the  son  in  law  of  Sheeh-a-ni-ah 
the  son  of  A-rah ; and  his  son  J 6- 
ha^nan  had  taken  the  daughter  of 
Me-shul-l^m  the  son  of  Ber-e^ehi-ah. 

19  Also  they  reported  his  good 
deeds  before  me,  and  uttered  my 
^ words  to  him.  And  T6-bi-ah  sent 
letters  to  put  me  in  fear.

which  came  at  the  first  out  of  Babylon,  9 of  the  people,  .19

Solomon’s  servants,  63  and  of  the  priests  which  could  not 
find  their  pedigree.  70  Their  oblations. 

lyrOW  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
wall  was  built,  and  I had  *set 
up  the  doors,  and  the  porters  and 
the  singers  and  the  Le-vites  were 
appointed, 

2 That  I gave  my  brother  Ha-na- 
nl,  and  Han-a-m-ah  the  ruler  ^ of 
the  palace,  charge  over  Je-ru-sa- 
lem:  for  he  was  a faithful  man 
and  ‘^feared  God  above  many. 

3 And  I said  unto  them.  Let  not 
the  gates  of  Je-ru-sAlem  be  opened 
until  the  sun  be  hot;  and  while 
they  stand  by,  let  them  shut  the 
doors,  and  bar  them:  and  appoint 
watches  of  the  inhabitants  of  J e-ru- 
sa-l6m,  every  one  in  his  watch,  and 
every  one  to  he  over  against  his 
house. 

4 Now  the  city  was  ’large  and 
great : but  the  people  were  few 
therein,  and  the  houses  were  not 
builded. 

5 ^ And  my  God  put  into  mine 
heart  to  gather  togetlier  the  nobles, 
and  the  rulers,  and  the  people,  that 
they  might  be  reckoned  by  gene- 
alogy. And  I found  a register  of 
the  genealogy  of  them  which  came 
up  at  the  first,  and  found  written 
therein,

73  So  the  priests,  and  the  Le-vites, 
and  the  porters,  and  the  singers, 
and  so7ne  of  the  people,  and  the 
Neth-i-nims,  and  ail  ls-r^6l,  dwelt 
in  their  cities ; and  when  the  sev- 
enth month  came,  the  children  of 
I§-ra-el  were  in  their  cities. 

CHAPTER  8. 

1 The  religious  manner  of  reading  and  hearing  the  law. 

9 The  people  are  comforted.  13  The  forwardness  of  them 

to  hear  and  he  instructed. 

AND  all  Hhe  people  gathered 
themselves  together  as  one  man 
into  the  street  that  was  -^before  the 
water  gate;  and  they  spake  unto 
Ez-ra  the  ^scribe  to  bring  the  book 
of  the  law  of  Mo-ses,  which  the 
Lord  had  commanded  to  Is-r^el. 

2 And  Ez-ra  the  priest  brought 
^the  law  before  the  congregation 
both  of  men  and  women,  and  all 
‘that  could  hear  with  understand- 
ing, *upon  the  first  day  of  the  sev- 
enth month. 

3 And  he  read  therein  before  the 
street  that  was  before  the  water 
gate  ^from  the  morning  until  mid- 
day, before  the  men  and  the  women, 
and  those  that  could  understand; 
and  the  ears  of  all  the  people  were 
attentive  unto  the  book  of  the  law. 

4 And  Ezh’a  the  scribe  stood  upon 
a ^pulpit  of  wood,  which  they  had 
made  for  the  purpose;  and  beside 
him  stood  Mat-ti-thi-ah.  and  She-ma, 
and  A-na-iah,  and_U-ri-jah,  and  Hil- 
ki-ah,  and  Ma-a-se-iah,  on  his  right 
hand ; and  on  his  left  hand,  Po-da- 
iah,  and  Mish-a-el,  and  Mal-ehi-ah, 
and  Ha-shtim,  and  Hash-bad-a-na, 
Z6-eh-a-ri-ah,  and  Me-shiil-lam. 

5 And  Ez-ra  opened  the  book  in 
the  ® sight  of  all  the  people:  (for 
he  was  above  all  the  people ;)  and 
when  he  opened  it,  all  the  people 
® stood  up  : • 

6 And  Ez-ra  blessed  the  Lord,  the 
great  God.  _ And  ^ all  the  people 
« answered,  A-men',  A-men',  with 
^ lifting  up_  their  hands  : and^  they 
*bowed  their  heads,  and  worshipped 
the  Lord  with  their  faces  to  the 
ground. 

7 Also  Jesh-u-a,  and  Ba-nl,  and 
Sher-e-bi-ah,  Ja-min,  Ak-kub,  Shab- 
be-thai,  Ho-dl-jah,  Ma-a-se-iah,  Kel-

Pe-ladah,  and  the  Le-vites,  "'^caused 
the  people  to  understand  the  law: 
and  the  people  stood  in  their  place. 

8 So  they  read  in  the  book  in  the 
law  of  God  distinctly,  and  gave  the 
sense,  and  caused  them  to  under- 
stand the  reading.

taught  the  people,  ^id  unto  all  the 

Eeople,  “This  day  is  holy  unto  the 
lORD  your  God;  ‘’mourn  not,  no/ 
weep.  For  all  the  people  wept, 
when  they  heard  the  words  of  the 
law. 

10  Then  he  said  unto  them.  Go 
your  way,  eat  the  fat,  and  drink 
the  sweet,  ‘‘and  send  portions  unto 
them  for  whom  nothing  is  pre- 
pared: for  this  day  is  holy  unto 
our  Lord:  neither  be  ye  sorry; 
for_the  joy  of  the  Lord  is  youi 
strehgHir 

11  So  the  Le-vites  stilled  all  the 
people,  saying,  Hold  jrour  peace, 
for  the  day  is  holy;  neither  oe  ye 
grieved. 

12  And  all  the  people  went  their 
way  to  eat,  and  to  drink,  and  to 
send  portions,  and  to  make  great 
mirth,  because  they  had  understood 
the  words  that  were  declared  unto 
them. 

13  ^ And  on  the  second  day  were 
gathered  together  the  chief  of  the 
fathers  of  ah  the  people,  the  priests, 
and  the  Le-vites,  unto  Ez-ra  the 
scribe,  even  ‘‘to  understand  the 
words  of  the  law. 

14  And  they  found  written  in 
the  law  which  the  Lord  had  com- 
manded ®by  Mo-ses,  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el  should  dwell  in 
* booths  in  the  feast  of  the  seventh 
month : 

15  And  ‘that  they  sh9uld  publish 
and  proclaim  in  all  their  cities,  and 
’“in  Je-rii-sa-lem,  saying.  Go  forth 
unto  the  mount, ^ and  ” retch  olive 
branches,  and  pine  branches,  and 
myrtle branches,and palm  branches, 
and  branches  of  thick  trees,  to  make 
booth^  as  it  is  written. 

1 6  IT  So  the  people  went  forth,  and 
brought  them,  and  made  themselves 
booths,  every  one  upon  the  ^roof  of 
his  house,  and  in  their  courts,  and 
in  the  courts  of  the  house  of  God, 
and  in  the  street  of  the  * water  gate, 
“and  in  the  street  of  the  gate  of 
E-phra-im. 

17  And  all  the  congregation  of 
them  that  were  come  again  out  of 
the  captivity  made  booths,  and  sat 
under  the  booths : for  since  the 
days  of  Jesh-u-a  the  son  of  Nun 
unto  that  day  had  not  the  children 
of  Isha-el  done  so.  And  there  was 
very  ^ great  gladness. 

18  Also  *day  by  day,  from  the  first 
day  unto  the  last  day,  he  read  in 
the  book  of  the  law  of  God.  And 
they  kept  the  feast  seven  days; 
and  on  the  eighth  day  was  ’a  sol- 
emn assembly,  ‘'according  unto  the

confession  of  God's  goodness,  &c. 

lyrOW  in  the  twenty  and  fourth 
day  of  ‘'this  month  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el  M^ere  assembled  with 
fasting,  and  with  sackclothes,  “^and 
earth  upon  them. 

2 And  ®the  seed  of  I§-ra-el  sepa- 
rated themselves  from  all  ^strangers, 
and  stood  and  confessed  their  sins, 
aad  the  iniquities  of  their  fathers. 

3 And  they  stood  up  in  their  place, 
and  ^read  in  the  book  of  the  law  of 
the  Lord  their  God  one  fourth  part 
of  the  day ; and  another  fourth  part 
they  confessed,  and  worshippecf  the 
Lord  their  God. 

4 U Then  stood  up  upon  the  ^stairs, 
of  the  Le-vites,  Jesh-u-a,  and  Ba-ni, 
Kad-mi-el,  Sheb-a-ni-ah,  Biin-ni, 
Sh6r-e-bi-ah,  Ba-ni,  and  -Ghen-a-ni, 
and  cried  with  a loud  voice  unto 
the  Lord  their  God. 

5 Then  the  Le-vites,  Jesh-u-a,  and 
KM-mi-el,  Ba-ni,  Hash-ab-ni-ah, 
ShSr-e-bl-ah,  Ho-di-jah,  Sheb-a-ni-

and  bless  the  Lord  your  God  for 
ever  and  ever:  and  blessed  be  ^thy 
glorious  name,  which  is  exalted 
above  all  blessing  and  praise. 

6 ’’Thou,  even  thou,  art  Lord

that  is  therein,  and  thou  ^preservest

7 Thou  art  the  Lord  the  God,  who 
didst  choose  *A-brto,  and  brought- 
es_t  him  forth  out  of  Ur  of  the  -Chal- 
dees, and  gavest  him  the  name  of 
‘*A-hra-ham ; 

8 And  foundest  his  heart  ® faithful 
before  thee,  and  madest  a ^covenant 
with  him  to  give  the  land  of  the

Jeb-u-sites,  and  the  Gir-ga-shites,  to 
give  it,  I say,  to  his  seed,  and  ^hast 
performed  thy  words ; for  thou  art 
righteous ;

proudly,  and  ‘’hardened  their  necks, 
and  hearkened  not  to  thy  com- 
mandments, 

17  And  refused  to  obey,  ® neither 
were  mindful  of  thy  wonders  that 
thou  didst  among  them ; but  hard- 
ened their  necks,  and  in  their  rebel- 
lion appointed  ^a  captain  to  return 
to  their  bondage : but  thou  art  ®a 
God  ready  to  pardon,  ^gracious  and 
merciful,  slow  to  anger,  and  of  great 
kindness,  and  forsookest  them  not. 

1 8 Yea,“  when  they  had  made  them 
a molten  calf,  and  said.  This  is  thy 
God  that  brought  thee  up  out  of 
E-gypt,  and  had  wrought  great  pro- 
vocations ; 

19  Yet  thou  in  thy  ‘'manifold  mer- 
cies forsookest  them  not  in  the 
wilderness : the  •^'pillar  of  the  cloud 
departed  not  from  them  by  day,  to 
lead  them  in  the  way;  neither  the 
pillar  of  fire  by  night,  to  shew 
them  light,  and  the  way  wherein 
they  should  go. 

20  Thou  gavest  also  thy  *good 
spirit  to  instruct  them,  and  with- 
heldest  not  thy  *man-na  from  their 
mouth,  and  gavest  them  “‘water  for 
their  thirst. 

21  Yea,  ‘'forty  years  didst  thou 
sustain  them  in  the  wilderness,  so 
that  they  lacked  nothing ; their 
^clothes  waxed  not  old,  and  their 
feet  swelled  not. 

22  Moreover  thou  gavest  them 
kingdoms  and  nations,  and  didst 
divide  them  into  corners : so  they 
possessed  the  land  of  “Sl-hOn,  and 
the  land  of  the  king  of  H6sh-b5n, 
and  the  land  of  Og  king  of  Ba-shan- 


The  Levites^  confessiort 

23  “Their  children  also  multipli- 
edst  thou  as  tlie  stars  of  heaven, 
and  broughtest  them  into  the  land, 
concerning  which  thou  hadst  prom- 
ised to  their  fathers,  that  they 
should  go  in  to  possess  it.  ^ 

24  So  Hhe  children  went  in  ana 

possessed  the  land,  and  ‘^thou  sub- 
duedst  before  them  the  inhabitants 
of  the  land,  the  -Cahiaan-ites,  and 
gavest  them  into  their  hands,  with 
their  kings,  and  the  people  of  the 
land,  that  they  might  do  with  them 
®as  they  would.  . , 

25  And  they  took  strong  cities,  and 
a ^fat  land,  and  possessed  '‘houses 
full  of  all  goods,  ^ wells  digged,  vine- 
yards, and  oliveyards,  and  ® fruit 
trees  in  abundance ; so  they  did  eat, 
and  were  hlled,  and  * became  fat,  and 
delighted  themselves  in  thy  great 
'goodness. 

26  Nevertheless  they  ""were  disobe- 
dient, and  rebelled  against  thee,  and 
“cast  thy  law  behind  their  backs, 
and  slew  thy  ^prophets  which  tes- 
tified against  them  to  turn  them  to 
thee,  and  they  wrought  great  pro- 
vocations. 

27  « Therefore  thou  deliyeredst 
them  into  the  hand  of  their  ene- 
mies, who  vexed  them:  and  in  the 
time  of  their  trouble,  when  they 
cried  unto  thee,  thou  "heardest 
them  from  heaven;  and  according 
to  thy  manifold  mercies  “thou  gav- 
est them  saviours,  who  saved  them 
out  of  the  hand  of  their  enemies. 

28  But  after  they  had  rest,  ''they*’ 
did  evil  again  before  thee : there- 
fore leftest  thou  them  in  the  hand 
of  their  enemies,  so  that  they  had 
the  dominion  over  them : yet  when 
they  returned,  and  cried  unto  thee, 
thou  heardest  them  from  heaven ; 
and  “many  times  didst  thou  deliver 
them  according  to  thy  mercies ; 

29  And  testifiedst  against  them, 
that  thou  mightest  bring  them  a- 
gain  unto  thy  law : yet  they  dealt 
proudly,  and  hearkened  not  unto 
thy  commandments,  but  sinned  a- 
gainst  thy  judgments,  ('’which  if  a 
man  do,  he  shall  live  in  them ;)  and 
^withdrew  the  shoulder,  and  hard- 
ened their  neck,  and  would  not 

30  Yet  many  years  didst  thou  ^for- 
bear them,  and  testifiedst  “against 
them  by  thy  spirit  ‘'in^  thy  proph- 
ets : yet  would  they  not  give  ear : 
“therefore  gavest  thou  them  into 
the  hand  of  the  people  of  the 
lands. 

31  Nevertheless  for  thy  great  mer- 
cies’ sake  ^ thou  didst  not  utterly 
consume  theip,  nor  forsake  them;

32  Now  therefore,  our  God,  the 
great,  the  '’mighty,  and  the  terrible 
God,  who  keepest  covenant  and 
mercy,  let  not  all  the  Hrouble  seem 
little  before  thee,  ‘^that  hath  come 
upon  us,  on  our  kings,  on  our 
princes,  and  on  our  priests,  and  on

33  Howbeit  •''thou  art  just  in  all 
that  is  brought  upon  us ; for  thou 
hast  done  right,  but  *'we  have  done 
wickedly : 

34  Neither  have  our  kings,  our 
princes,  our  priests,  nor  our  fathers, 
kept  thy  law,  nor  hearkened  unto 
thy  commandments  and  thy  testi-

35  For  they  have  “not  served  thee 
in  their  kingdom,  and  in  thy  great 
goodness  that  thou  gavest  them,  and 
in  the  large  and  fat  land  which  thou 
gavest  before  them,  neither  turned 
they  from  their  wicked  works. 

36  Behold,  “we  are  servants  this 
day,  and  for  the  land  that  thou  gay- 
est unto  our  fathers  to  eat  the  fruit 
thereof  and  the  good  thereof,  be-

over  us  because  of  our  sins:  also 
they  have  "“dominion  over  our  bod-

pleasure,  and  we  are  in  great  dis-

O-ba-di-ah,  Me-shul-lam,  Tal-m5n, 
Ak-kub,  were  porters  keeping  the 
ward  at  the  ^ thresholds  of  the 
gates. 

26  These  were  in  the  days  of  Joi- 
a-kim  the  son  of  Jesh-u-a,  the  son 
of  JOz-a-dak,  and  in  the  days  of 
Ne-he-mi-ah  "the  governor,  and  of 
Ez-ra  the  priest,  ‘^the  scribe. 

27  H And  at  ®the  dedication  of  the 
wall  of  Je-ru-sa-lem  they  sought  the 
Le-vites  out  of  all  their  places,  to 
bring  them  to  JAru-sa-lem,  to  keep 
the  dedication  with  gladness,  ^ both 
with  thanksgivings,  and  with  sing- 
ing, with  cymbals,  psalteries,  and 
with  harps. 

28  And  the  sons  of  the  singers 
gathered  themselves  together,  both 
out  of  the  plain  country  round 
about  Jo-ru-sa-lem,  and  from  the 
villages  of  iSTAtdph-a-thi ; 

29  Also  from  the  house  of  Gil-gal, 
and  out  of  the  fields  of  Ge-ba  and 
Az-ma-veth : for  the  singers  had 
builded  them  villages  round  about 
Je-ru-sa-lem. 

30  And  the  priests  and  the  Le- 
vites  purified  themselves,  and  puri- 
fied the  people,  and  the  gates,  and 
the  wall. 

31  Then  I brought  up  the  princes 
of  Ju-dah  upon  the  wall,  and  ap- 
pointed two  great  companies  of 
them  that  gave  thanks,  whereof  '^one 
went  on  the  right  hand  upon  the 
wall  * toward  the  dung  gate: 

32  And  after  them  went  Ho-sha- 
iah,  and  half  of  the  princes  of 
Ju^dah,  . 

33  And  Az-a-ri-ah,  Ez-ra,  and  MA 
shul-lam, 

34  Ju-dah,  and  Ben-ja-min,  and

^ with  trumpets  ; namely,  Zeeh-a-ri- 
ah  the  son  of  J 5n-a-than,  the  son  of 
ShAmadah,  the  son  of  Mat-ta-ni-ah, 
the  son  of  Mi-ehadah,  the  son  or

Ha-na-ni,  with  "‘the  musical  in-

them. 

37  "And  at  the  fountain  gate,  which 
was  over  against  them,  they  went 
up  by  ^the  stairs  of  the  city  of 
Da-vid,  at  the  going  up  of  the  wall, 
above  the  house  of  Da-vid,  even 
unto  ^the  water  gate  eastward.

of  the  people  upon  the  wall,  from

40  So  stood  the  two  companies  of 

them  that  gave  thanks  in  the  house

2 sang  loud,  with  Jez-ra-hi-ah  their 
overseer.  , i 

43  Also  that  day  they  offered  great 
sacrifices,  and  rejoiced ; for  God  had 
made  them  rejoice  with  great  joy : 
the  wives  also  and  the  children 
rejoiced:  so  that  the  joy  of  Jj-ru- 
sa-l6m  was  heard  even  afar  off. 

44  U ^And  at  that  time  were  some 
appointed  over  the  chambers  for

45  And  both  the  singers  and  the 
porters  kept  the  ward  of  their  God, 
and  the  ward  of  the  purification, 
^according  to  the  commandment 
of  Da-vid,  and  of  S5l-5-m5n  his 

46  For  in  the  days  of  Da-vid  ^and

the  singers,  and  songs  of  praise  and 
thanksgiving  unto  God. 

47  And  all  Is-ra-el  in  the  days  ot 
Ze-rub-ba-b6l,  and  in  the  days  of 
Ne-he-ml-ah,  gave  the  portions  of 
the  singers  and  the  porters,  every 
day  his  portion:  “and  they  ® sancti-

2 Because  they  met  not  the  chil-

water,  but  ^ hired  Badaam  against 
them,  that  he  should  curse  them : 
*howbeit  our  God  turned  the  curse 
into  a blessing. 

3 Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  they 

had  heard  the  law,  *that  they  sep- 
arated from  Is-ra-el  all  the  mixed 
multitude.  . _ ^ , 

4 And  before  this,  E-li-a-shib 
the  priest,  ^having  the  oversight  ot 
the  chamber^  of  the  house  of  our 
God,  was  allied  unto  T6-bi-ah : 

5 And  he  had  prepared  for  him 
a great  chamber,  ^'wnere  aforetime 
they  laid  the  meat  offerings,  the 
frankincense,  and  the  vessels,  and 
the  tithes  of  the  corn,  the  new 
wine,  and  the  oil,  ” which ^ was  com- 
manded to  he  given  to  the  Le-vites, 
and  the  singers,  and  the  porters ; 
and  the  offerings  of  the  priests. 

6 But  in  all  this  time  was  not  i 

at  JAru-sa-lem:  “for  in  the  two  and 
thirtieth  year  of  Ar-tax-erx-es  king 
of  Bab-y-l5n  came  I unto  the  king, 
and  ^ after  certain  days  ® obtained  i 
leave  of  the  king:  , , . , 

7 And  I came  to  J e-ru-sa-lern,  and 
understood  of  the  evil  that  E-li-a- 
shib  did  for  T6-bi-ah,  in  « preparing 
him  a chamber  in  the  courts  of  the 
house  of  God. 

8 And  it  grieved  me  sore:  there- 
fore I cast  forth  all  the  household 
stuff  of  T6-bi-ah  out  of  the  cham- 
ber. 

9 Then  I commanded,  and  they 
* cleansed  the  chambers : and  thither 
brought  I again  the  vessels  of  the 
house  of  God,  with  the  meat  offer- 
ing and  the  frankincense. 

10  U And  I perceived  that  the  por- 
tions of  the  Le-vites  had  “not  heen 
given  them:  for  the  Le-vites  and 
the  singers,  that  did  the  work,  were

concerning  this,  and  wipe  not  out 
my  ^good  deeds  that  I nave  done 
for  the  house  of  my  God,  and  for 
the  ^offices  thereof. 

15  ^ In  those  days  saw  I in  Ju-dah 
some  treading  wine  presses  *on  the

that  time  forth  came  they  no  more

23  ^ In  those  days  also  saw  I Jews 
that  ®had^  married  wives  of  Ash- 
dod,  of  Am-m5n,  and  of  Mo-ab : 

24  And  their  children  spake  half 
in  the  speech  of  Ash-(^d,  and  ® could 
not  speak  in  the  Je^s’  language, 
but  according  to  the  language  *^01

25  And  I ® contended  with  them, 
and  ^cursed  them,  and  smote  cer- 
tain of  them,  and  plucked  off  their 
hair,  and  made  them  swear  by 
God,  saying,  Ye  shall  not  give  your 
daughters  unto  their  sons,  nor  take 
their  daughters  unto  your  sons,  or 
for  yourselves. 

26  '‘Did  not  S5l-5-m5n  king  of  Is-

our  of  his  excellent  majesty  many 
days,  even  an  hundred  and  four- 
score days. 

5 And  when  these  days  were  ex- 
pired, the  king  made  a feast  unto 
all  the  people  that  were  ^present 
in  Shu-shan  the  palace,  both  unto 
great  and  small,  seven  days,  in  the 
court  of  the  garden  of  the  kings 

6 Where  were  white,  green,  and 

2 blue,  hangings,  fastened  with  cords 
of  fine  linen  and  purple  to  silver 
rings  and  pillars  of  marble:  Hhe 
beds  were  of  gold  and  silver,  upon 
a pavement  ^of  red,  and  blue,  and 
white,  and  black,  marble.  _ , . 

7 And  they  gave  them  drink  in 
vessels  of  gold,  (the  vessels  being 
diverse  one  from  another,) 

^ royal  wine  in  abundance,  ® accord- 
ing to  the  state  of  the  king. 

8 And  the  drinking  was  according 
to  the  law;  none  did  compel:  for 
so  the  king  had  appointed  to  all 
the  officers  of  his  house,  that  they 
should  do  according  to  every  man  s 
pleasure. 

9 Also  Vash-ti  the  queen  made  a 
feast  for  the  women  in  the  royal 
house  which  belonged  to  king  A- 
has-fi-e-rtis. 

10  IT  On  the  seventh  day,  when 

Hhe  heart  of  the  king  was  merr^ 
with  wine,  he  commanded  Me-hu- 
man,  Biz-tha,  ®Har-bo-na,  Big^tha, 
and  A-bag-tha,  Ze-thar,and  -Garzas, 
the  seven  ^chamberlains  that  served 
in  the  presence  of  A-has-ti-e-rus  the 
king,  , , 

11  To  bring  Vash-ti  the  queen  be- 
fore the  king  with  the  crown  royal, 
to  shew  the  people  and  the  princes 
her  beauty  : for  she  was  ^fair  to 

look  on.  -rx  w - 1 

12  But  the  queen  Vash-ti  refused 
to  come  at  the  king’s  commandment 
®by  his  chamberlains : therefore  was 
the  king  very  wroth,  and  his  anger 
burned  in  him. 

13  H Then  the  king  said  to  the 
'"wise  men,  * which  knew  the  times, 
(for  so  was  the  king’s  manner  to- 
ward all  that  knew  law  and  judg- 
ment : 

14  And  the  next  unto  him  was 
■Gar-she-na,  She-thar,  Ad-ma-tha, 
Tar-shish,  Me-res,  Mar-se-na,  and 
Me-mu-can,  the  * seven  princes  of

the  king’s  face,  and  which  sat  the 
first  in  the  kingdom ;) 

15  ®What  shall  we  do  unto  the

ti  the  queen  hath  not  done  wrong 
to  the  king  only,  but  also  to  all  the 
princes,  and  to  all  the  people  that 
are  in  all  the  provinces  of  the  king 
A-has-fi-e-rus. 

1 7 For  this  deed  of  the  queen  shall 
come  abroad  unto  all  women,  so 
that  they  shall  “despise  their  hus- 
bands in  their  eyes,  when  it  shall 
be  reported.  The  king  A-has-fi-e-rus 
commanded  Vash-ti  the  queen  to 
be  brought  in  before  him,  but  she 


came  not. 

18  Likewise  shall  the  ladies  of 
Per-si-a  and  Me-di-a  say  this  day 
unto  all  the  king’s  princes,  which 
have  heard  of  the  deed  of  the 
queen.  Thus  shall  there  arise  too 
much  contempt  and  wrath. 

19  ®If  it  please  the  king,  let  there 
go  a royal  commandment  ’from 
him,  and  let  it  be  written  among 
the  laws  of  the  Per-si-ans  and  the 
Medes,  ®that  it  be  not  altered.  That 
Vash-ti  come  no  more  before  king 
A-has-li-eAus  ; and  let  the  king  give 
her  royal  estate  ^unto  another  that 
is  better  than  she. 

20  And  when  the  king’s  decree 
which  he  shall  make  shall  be  pub- 
lished throughout  all  his  empire, 
(for  it  is  great,)  all  the  wives  shall 
‘^give  to  their  husbands  honour, 
both  to  great  and  small. 

21  And  the  saying  ^pleased  the 
king  and  the  princes ; and  the 
king  did  according  to  the  word  of 
Me-mu-can : 

22  For  he  sent  letters  into  all 
the  king’s  provinces,  •'^into  every 
province  according  to  the  writing 
thereof,  and  to  every  people  after 
their  language,  that  every  man 
should  S' bear  rule  in  his  own  house, 
and  ^that  it  should  be  published 
according  to  the  language  of  every 
people.

was  appeased,  he  remembered  \ ash- 
ti,  and  what  she  had^  done,  and

2 Then  said  the  king’s  servants 

that  ministered  unto  him.  Let  there 
be  fair  young  virgins  sought  tor 
the  king:  .

that  they  may  gather  together  all

shan  the  palace,  to  the  house  of  the 
women,  ^unto  the  custody  of  ^He'-ge 
the  king’s  chamberlain,  keeper  of 
the  women;  and  let  their  things 
for  purification  be  given  them: 

4 And  let  the  maiden  which  pleas- 
eth  the  king  be  queen  instead  of 
Vash-tL  And  the  thing  pleased  the 
king ; and  he  did  so. 

5 1l  E^ow  in  Shu-shan  ^e  palace 
there  was  a certain  Jew,  whose 
name  was  M6r-de-eai,  the  son  of 
Ja-ir,  the  son  of  Shim-e-i,  the  son 
of  Kish,  a Ben-ja-mite ; 

6 *Who  had  been  carried  away 
from  Je-ru-sa-lem  with  the  cap- 
tivity which  had  been  carried  away 
with  ^Jee-o-ni-ah  king  of  Ju-dah, 
whom  Neb-u-ehad-nez-zar  the  king 
of  Bab-y-l6n  had  carried  away. 

7 And  he  ‘‘brought  up  Ha-das- 
sah,  that  is,  Es-ther,  ‘'his  uncle’s 
daughter : for  she  had  neither 
father  nor  mother,  and  the  maid 
was  ® fair  ^ and  beautiful ; whom 
M6r-de-eai,  when  her  father  and 
mother  were  dead,  took  for  his  own 
daughter. 

8 ^ So  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
king’s  commandment  and  his  de- 
cree was  heard,  and  when  many 
maidens  were  ‘^gathered  together 
unto  Shu-shan  the  palace,  to  the 
custody  of  He%ai,  that  Es-ther  was 
brought  also  unto  the  king’s  house, 
to  the  custody  of  He%ai,  keeper  of 
the  women.

as  belonged  to  her,  and  seven  maid- 
ens, which  were  meet  to  be  given

11  And  M6r-de-eai  walked  every 
day  before  the  court  of  the  women’s 
house,  ^to  know  how  Es-ther  did, 
and  what  should  become  of  her. 

1 2  H Now  when  every  maid’s  turn 
was  come  to  go  in  to  king  A-has-U- 
e-rus,  after  that  she  had  been  twelve 
months,  according  to  the  manner 
of  the  women,  (for  so  were  the  days 
of  their  purifications  accomplished, 
to  wit,  six  months  with  oil  or  myrrh, 
and  six  months  with  sweet  odours, 
and  with  other  things  for  the  puri- 
fying of  the  women ;) 

13  Then  thus  came  every  maiden 
unto  the  king ; whatsoever  she  de-

sired  was  given  her  to  go  with  her 
out  of  the  house  of  the  women  unto 
the  king’s  house.  ^ 

14  In  the  evening  she  went,  and 
on  the  morrow  she  returned  into 
the  second  house  of  the  women,  to 
the  custody  of  Sha-ash-gaz,  the 
king’s  chamberlain,  which  kept  the 
concubines:  she  came  in  unto  the 
king  no  more,  except  the  king  de- 
lighted in  her,  and  that  she  were 
called  by  name. 

15  51  Now  when  the  turn  of  Es- 
ther, “the  daughter  of  Ab-i-ha-il  the 
uncle  of  M6r-d6-eai,  who  had  taken 
her  for  his  daughter,  was  come  to 
go  in  unto  the  king,  she  required 
nothing  but  what  He%ai  the  king’s 
chamberlain,  the  keeper  of  the  wo- 
men, appointed.  And  Es-ther  ob- 
tained favour  in  the  sight  of  all 
them  that  looked  upon  her. 

16  So  Es-ther  was  taken  unto  king 
A-has-a-e-rus  into  his  house  royal 
in  the  tenth  month,  which  is  the 
month  Te-beth,  in  the  seventh  year 
of  his  reign. 

17  And  the  king  loved  Es-ther 
above  all  the  women,  and  she  ob- 
tained grace  and  ® favour  Hn  his 
sight  more  than  all  the  virgins ; so 
that  he  set  the  royal  crown  upon 
her  head,  and  made  her  queen  in- 
stead of  Vash-ti. 

18  Then  the  king  ®made  a great 
feast  unto  all  his  princes  and  his 
servants,  even  Es-ther’s  feast;  and 
he  made  a ® release  to  the  provinces, 
and  gave  gifts,  according  to  the 
state  of  the  king. 

19  And  when  the  virgins  were 
gathered  together  the  second  time, 
then  M6r-de-Bai  sat  ^in  the  king’s 
gate.  ^ 

20  ^Es-ther  had  not  yet  shewed 
her  kindred  nor  her  people ; as 
M6r-de-eai  had  charged  her:  for 
Es^ther  did  the  commandment  of 
M6r-de-eai,  like  as  when  she  was 
brought  up  with  him. 

21  IT  In  those  days,  while  Mbr-de- 
eai  sat  in  the  king’s  gate,  two  of  the 
king’s  chamberlains,  ‘^BigHhan  and 
Te-rgsh,  of  those  which  kept  ^the 
door,  were  wroth,  and  sought  to 
lay  hand  on  the  king  A-has-fi-e-rus. 

22  And  the  thing  was  known  to 
M6r-d6-eai,  *who  told  it  unto  Es- 
ther the  queen ; and  Es-ther  certi- 
fied the  king  thereof  in  Mor-de-eai’s 
name. 

23  And  when  inquisition  was  made 
of  the  matter,  it  was  found  out ; 
therefore  they  were  both  hanged 
on  a tree : and  it  was  written  in 
*the  book  of  the  chronicles  before 
the  king.

CHAPTER  3. 

1 Baman  seeketh  revenge  upon  all  the  Jews.  8 Be 
obtaineth  a decree  to  put  the  Jews  to  death. 

AFTER,  these  things  did  king  A- 
has-a-e-riis  promote^  Ha-man 
the  son  of  Ham-med-a-tha  the  *'A- 
gag-Ite,  and  advanced  him,  and  set 
his  seat  above  all  the  princes  that 
were  with  him. 

2 And  all  the  king’s  servants,  that 
were  ‘*in  the  king’s  gate,  bowed, 
and  reverenced  Ha-man : for  the 
king  had  so  commanded  concern- 
ing him.  But  M6r-de-eai  -^bowed 
not,  nor  did  him  reverence. 

3 Then  the  king’s  servants,  which 
were  in  the  king’s  gate,  said  unto 
M6r-de-eai,  Why  transgressest  thou 
the  * king’s  commandment  1 

4 Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  they 
spake  daily  unto  him,  and  he  heark- 
ened not  unto  them,  that  they  told 
Ha-man,  to  see  whether  M6r-d6-eai’s 
matters  would  stand : for  he  had 
told  them  that  he_  was  a J ew. 

5 And  when  Ha-man  saw  that 
M6r-de-eai  ""bowed  not,  nor  did 
him  reverence,  then  was  Ha-man 
"full  of  wrath. 

6 And  he  thought  scorn  to  lay 
hands  on  M6r-d6-eai  alone ; for 
they  had  shewed  him  the  people 
of  M6r-de-eai : wherefore  Ha-man 
^sought  to  destroy  all  the  Jews  that 
were  throughout  the  whole  kingdom 
of  A-has-h-e-riis,  even  the  people  of 
M6r-de-eai. 

7 U In  the  first  month,  that  is,  the 
month  Nl-san,  in  the  twelfth  year 
of  king  A-has-fi-e-rus,  «they  cast 
Pur,  that  is,  the  lot,  before  Ha-man 
from  day  to  day,  and  from  month 
to  month,  to  the  twelfth  month,  that 
is,  the  montli  A-dar. 

8 11  And  Ha-man  said  unto  king 
A-has-ii-e-rus,  There  is  a certain 
people  scattered  abroad  and  dis- 
persed among  the  people  in  all  the 
provinces  of  thy  kingdom ; and 
“their  laws  are  diverse  from  all 

geople ; neither  keej)  they  the 
ing’s  laws  : therefore  it  is  not  ^for 
the  king’s  profit  to  suffer  them. 

9  If  it  please  the  king,  let  it  be 
written  ^that  they  may  be  destroyed : 
and  I will  ^pay  ten  thousand  talents 
of  silver  to  the  hands  of  those  that 
have  the  charge  of  the  business,  to 
bring  it  into  the  king’s  treasuries. 

10  And  the  king  *took  ^'his  ring 
from  his  hand,  and  gave  it  unto 
Ha-man  the  son  of  Ham-med-a-tha 
the  A^ag-Ite,  the  Jews’  ’enemy.  ^ 
11  And  the  king  said  unto  Ha- 
man,  The  silver  is  given  to  thee, 
the  people  also,  to  do  with  them 
as  it  seemeth  good  to  thee.

12  “Then  were  the  king’s  ^scribes 
called  on  the  thirteenth  day  of  the 
first  month,  and  there  was  written 
according  to  all  that  Ha-man  had 
commanded  unto  the  king’s  lieu- 
tenants, and  to  the  governors  that 
were  over  every  province,  and  to 
the  rulers  of  every  people  of  every 
province  ‘'according  to  the  writing 
thereof,  and  to  every  people  after 
their  language ; ® in  the  name  of 
king  A-has-fi-e-riis  was  it  written, 
and  sealed  with  the  king’s  ring. 

13  And  the  letters  were  ^sent  by 
posts  into  all  the  king’s  provinces, 
to  destroy,  to  kill,  and  to  cause  to 
perish,  all  J^s,  both  young  and 
old,  little  children  and  women,  '"in 
one  day,  even  upon  the  thirteenth 
day  of  the  twelfth  month,  which  is 
the  month  A-dar,  and  ^to  take  the 
spoil  of  them  for  a prey. 

14  'The  copy  of  the  writing  for  a 
commandment  to  be  given  in  every 
province  was  published  unto  all 
people,  that  they  should  be  ready 
against  that  day. 

15  The  posts  went  out,  being  has- 
tened by  the  king’s  commandment, 
and  the  decree  was  given  in  Shu- 
shan  the  palace.  And  the  king 
and  Ha-man  sat  down  to  drink  ; 
but  ‘"the  city  Shu-shan  was  per- 
plexed. 

CHAPTER  4. 

1 The  great  mourning  of  Mordecai  and  the  Jews.  4 Es- 
ther, understanding  it,  sendeth  to  Mordecai,  who  sheweth 
the  cause,  and  adviseth  her  to  undertake  the  suit.  10  She, 
excusing  herself,  is  threatened  by  Mordecai.  15  She, 
appointing  a fast,  uvd^taketh  the  suit. 

WHEN  M6r-de-cai  perceived  all 
that  was  done,  M6r-de-eai 
"rent  his  clothes,  and  put  on  sack- 
cloth «with  ashes,  and  went  out  in- 
to the  midst  of  the  city,  and  'cried 
with  a loud  and  a bitter  cry ; 

2  And  came  even  before  the  king  s 
gate : for  none  might  enter  into 
the  king’s  gate  clothed  with  sack- 
cloth. 

3  And  in  every  province,  whither- 
soever the  king’s  commandment 
and  his  decree  came,  there  was 
great  mourning  among  the  Jews, 
and  fasting,  and  weeping,  and  wail- 
ing; and  ^many  lay  in  sackcloth 
and  ashes. 

4  H So  Es-ther’s  maids  and  her 
® chamberlains  came  and  told  it  her. 
Then  was  the  queen  exceedingly 
grieved ; and  she  sent  raiment  to 
clothe  M6r-de-eai,  and  to  take  away 
his  sackcloth  from  him : but  he  re- 
ceived it  not.  ..  „ ^ , 

5  Then  called  Es-ther  for  Ha-taeh, 
one  of  the  king’s  chamberlains, 
^whom  he  had  appointed  to  attend 
upon  her,  and  gave  him  a com- 


Esther  inviteth  the  king

and  Haman  to  a banquet* 


mandment  to  M6r-de-€ai,  to  know 
what  it  was,  and  why  it  was. 

6 So  Ha-ta€h  went  forth  to  M6r- 
de-eai  unto  the  street  of  the 
city,  which  was  before  the  king’s 
gate. 

7 And  M6r-de-eai  told  him  of  all 
that  had  happened  unto  him,  and 
of  *the  sum  of  the  money  that 
Ha-man  had  promised  to  pa^^to 
the  king’s  treasuries  for  the  Jews, 
to  destroy  them. 

8 Also  he  gave  him  ‘^the  copy  of 
the  writing  of  the  decree  that  was 
given  at  Shu-shan  to  destroy  them, 
to  shew  it  unto  Es-ther,  and  to  de- 
clare it  unto  her,  and  to  charge  her 
that  she  should  go  in  unto  the  king, 
to  make  supplication  unto  him,  and 
to  make  request  before  him  for  her 
people. 

9 And  Ha-tach  came  and  told  Es- 
ther the  words  of  M6r-de-cai. 

10  U Again  Es-ther  spake  unto  Ha- 
tach,  and  gave  him  commandment 
unto  M6r-de-cai ; 

1 1 All  the  king’s  servants,  and  the 
people  of  the  king’s  provinces,  do 
know,  that  whosoever,  whether  man 
or  woman,  shall  come  unto  the  king 
into  *the  inner  court,  who  is  not 
called,  Hhere  is  one  law  of  his  to 
put  him  to  death,  except  such  ^to 
whom  the  king  shall  hold  out  the 
golden  sceptre,  that  he  may  live: 
but  I have  not  been  called  to  come 
in  unto  the  king  these  thirty  days_. 

12  And  they  told  to  M6r-de-cai 
Es-ther’s  words. 

13  Then  M6r-de-cai  commanded 
to  answer  Es-ther,  Think  not  with 
thyself  that  thou  shalt  escape  in 
th^  king’s  house,  more  than  all  the 
J^s. 

14  For  if  thou  altogether  boldest 
thy  peace  at  this  time,  then  shall 
there  ^enlargement  and  deliverance 
arise  to  the  J^s  from  another 

Elace;  but  thou  and  thy  father’s 
ouse  shall  be  destroyed : and  who 
knoweth  whether  thou  art  come 
to  the  kingdom  for  such  a time  as 
this  1 

15  U Then  Es^ther  bade  them  re- 
turn Mor-dg-cai  this  answer, 

1 6  Go,  gather  together  all  the  J ^s 
that  are  ^present  in  Shu-shan,  and 
fast  ye  for  me.  and  neither  eat  nor 
drink  ® three  days,  night  or  day : I 
also  and  my  maidens  will  fast  like- 
wise : ^ and  so  will  I go  in  unto 
the  king,  which  is  not  according 
to  the  law : « and  if  I perish,  I 
perish. 

17  So  M6r-d6-cai  ®went  his  way, 
and  did  according  to  all  that  Es- 
ther had  commanded  him.

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Esther  obtaineth  the  grace  of  the  golden  sceptre,  and 
inviteth  the  kitig  and  Haman  to  a banquet.  6 She  in- 
viteth them  to  another  banquet  the  next  day.  9 Human, 
proud  of  his  advancement,  repineth  at  the  contempt  •/ 
Mordecai.  14  By  the  counsel  of  Zeresh  he  buildeth  a 
gallows  for  him. 

OW  it  came  to  pass  ®on  the  third 
l\  day,  that  Es-ther  put  on  her 
royal  apparel,  and  stood  in  ®the 
inner  court  of  the  king’s  house, 
over  against  the  king’s  house : and 
the  king  sat  upon  his  royal  throne 
in  the  royal  house,  over  against  the 
gate  of  the  house. 

2 And  it  was  so,  when  the  king 
saw  Es-ther  the  queen  standing  in 
the  court,  that  ^she  obtained  favour 
in  his  sight : and  •''the  king  held  out 
to  Es-ther  the  golden  sceptre  that 
was  in  his  hand.  So  Es-ther  drew 
near,  and  touched  the  top  of  the 
sceptre. 

3 Then  said  the  king  unto  her. 
What  wilt  thou,  queen  Es-ther? 
and  what  is  thy  request?  ''it  shall 
be  even  given  thee  to  the  half  of 
the  kingdom. 

4 And  Es-ther  answered.  If  it  seem 
good  unto  the  king,  let  the  king  and 
Ha-man  come  this  day  unto  the  ban- 
quet that  I have  prepared  for  him. 

5 Then  the  king  said.  Cause  Ha- 
man to  make  haste,  that  he  may  do 
as  Es-tber  hath  said.  So  the  king 
and  Ha-man  came  to  the  banquet 
that  Es-ther  had  prepared. 

6 H 'And  the  king  said  unto  Es- 
ther at  the  banquet  of  wine,  What 
is  thy  petition?  and  it  shall  be 
granted  thee : and  what  is  thy  re- 
quest ? even  to  the  half  of  the  king- 
dom it  shall  be  performed. 

7 Then  answered  Es-ther,  and  said, 
My  petition  and  my  request  is; 

8 If  I have  found  favour  in  the 
sight  of  the  king,  and  if  it  please 
the  king  to  grant  my  petition,  and 
^ to  perform  my  request,  let  the  king 
ancT  Ha-man  come  to  the  banquet 
that  I shall  prepare  for  them,  and 
I will  do  to  morrow  as  the  king 
hath  said. 

9 ^ Then  went  Ha-man  forth  that 
day  joyful  and  with  a glad  heart  ; 
but  when  Ha-man  saw  Mor-dg-eai 
in  the  king’s  gate,  ”that  he  stood  not 
upj  nor  moved  for  him,  he  was  full 
of  indignation  against  M6r-d6-eai. 

10  Nevertheless  Ha-man^ refrained 
himself : and  when  he  came  home, 
he  sent  and  ^called  for  his  friends, 
and  Ze-r6sh_his  wife. 

11  And  Ha-man  told  them  of  the 
glory  of  his  riches,  and  ’’the  mul- 
titude of  his  children,  and  all  the 
things  wherein  the  king  had  pro- 
moted him,  and  how  he  had  *ad- 


* ch.  3. 1. 

489

for  former  services. 


vanced  him  above  the  princes  and 
servants  of  the  king. 

12  Ha-man  said  moreover,  Yea, 
Es-ther  the  queen  did  let  no  man 
come  in  with  the  king  unto  the 
banquet  that  she  had  prepared 
but  myself;  and  to  morrow  am  I 
invited  unto  her  also  with  the  king. 

1 3 Yet  all  this  availeth  nie  nothing, 
so  long  as  I see  M6r-de-eai  the  J ew 
sitting  at  the  king’s  gate. 

14  H Then  said  ZeYesh  his  wife 
and  all  his  friends  unto  him,  Let 
a * gallows'^  be  made  of  fifty  cubits 
high,  and  to  morrow  ® speak  thou 
unto  the  king  that  M6r-de-eai  may 
be  hanged  thereon : then  go  thou 
in  merrily  with  the  king  unto  the 
banquet.  And  the  thing  pleased 
Ha-man;  and  he  caused  ‘^the  gal- 
lows to  be  made.

CHAPTER  6. 

1 Ahasuerus,  reading  in  the  chronicles  of  the  good  service 
done  by  Mordecai,  taketh  care  for  his  reward.  4 Haman 
•unawares  giveth  counsel  that  he  might  do  him  honour. 
12  His  friends  tell  him  of  his  final  destiny. 

OH  that  night  ^ could  not  the  king 
sleep,  and  he  commanded  to 
bring  s' the  book  of  records  of  the 
chronicles ; and  they  were  read  be- 
fore the  king. 

2  And  it  was  found  written,  that 
Mor-de-cai  had  told  of  ®BigYha-na 
and  TeYesh,  two  of  the  king’s 
chamberlains,  the  keepers  of  the 
®door,^  who  sought  to  lay  hand  on 
the  king  A-has-h-eYus. 

3  And  the  king  said.  What  hon- 
our and  dignity  hath  been  done  to 
M6r-de-cai  for  this  1 Then  said  the 
king’s  servants  that  ministered  unto 
him.  There  is  nothing  done  for  him. 
4 H And  the  king  said.  Who  is  in 
the  court  % Now  Ha-man  was  come 
into  Yhe  outward  court  of  the  king’s 
house,  ^to  speak  unto  the  king  to 
hang  Mor-de-cai  on  the  gallows  that 
he  had  prepared  for  him. 

5  And  the  king’s  servants  said  un- 
to him.  Behold,  Ha-man  standeth 
in  the  court.  And  the  king  said. 
Let  him  come  in. 

6  So  Ha-man  came  in.  And  the 
king  said  unto  him.  What  shall  be 
done  unto  the  man  ®whom  the  king 
delighteth  to^  honour'?  Now  Ha- 
man thought  in  his  heart.  To  whom 
would  the  king  delight  to  do  honour 
more  than  to  myself  ? 

7  And  Ha-man  answered  the  king, 
For  the  man  ^whom  the  king  de- 
lighteth to  honour, 

8  ^ Let  the  royal  apparel  be  brought 
^ which  the  king  useth  to  wear,  and 
”the  horse  that  the  king  rideth 
upon,  and  the  crown  royal  which 
is  set  upon  his  head:

9  And  let  this  apparel  and  hors© 

be  delivered  to  the  hand  of  one  of 
the  king’s  most  noble  princes,  that 
they  may  array  the  man  withal

e done  to  the  man  whom  the  king 
delighteth  to  honour. 

10  Then  the  king  said  to  Ha-man, 
Make  haste,  and  take  the  apparel 
and  the  horse,  as  thou  hast_  said, 
ai]^  do  even  so  to  Mor-de-cai  the 
Jew,  that  sitteth  at  the  king’s  gate: 
^let  nothing  fail  of  all  that  thou 
hast  spoken. 

1 1  Then  took  Ha-man  the  apparel 
and  the  horse,  and  arrayed  M6r-d6- 
cai,  and  brought  him  on  horseback 
through  the  street  of  the  city,  and 
proclaimed  before  him.  Thus  shall 
it  be  done  unto  the  man  whom  the 
king  delighteth  to  honour. 

1 2  H And  Mor-de-cai  came  again 
to  the  king’s  gate.  But  Ha-man 
® hasted  to  his  house  mourning, 
•^and  having  his  head  covered. 

13  And  Ha-man  told  ZeYesh  his 
wife  and  all  his  friends  every  thing 
that  had  befallen  him.  Then  said 
his  wise  men  and  ZeYesh  his  wife 
unto  him.  If  M^r-de-cai  be  of  the 
seed  of  the  Jews,  before  whom 
thou  hast  begun  to  fall,  thou  shalt 
not  prevail  against  him,  but  shalt 
surely  fall  before  him. 

1 4  And  while  they  were  yet  talking 
with  him,  came  the  king’s  chamber- 
lains, and  hasted  to  bring  Ha-man 
unto  ^ the  banquet  that  Es-ther 
had  prepared. 

CHAPTER  7. 

1 Esther  maketh  suit  for  her  own  life  and  her  people's. 

■ 5 She  accuseth  Haman.  7 The  king  causeth  Haman  to 
be  hariged  on  his  own  gallows. 

SO  the  king  and  Ha-man  came  ’to 
banquet  with  Es-ther  the  queen. 
2 And  the  king  said  again  unto 
Es-ther  on  the  second  day  *at  the 
banquet  of  wine,  What  is  thy  peti- 
tion, queen  Es-ther  % and  it  shall  be 
granted  thee : and  what  is  thy  re- 
quest'? and  it  shall  be  performed, 
even  to  the  half  of  the  kingdom. 

3 Then  Es-ther  the  queen  answered 
and  said.  If  I have  found  favour  in 
thy  sight,  O king,  and  if  it  please 
the  king,  let  my  life  be  given  me  at 
my  petition,  and  my  people  at  my 
request : 

4  For  we  are  "‘sold,  I and  my  peo- 
ple, ^to  be  destroyed,  to  be  slain, 
and  to  perish.  But  if  we  had  been 
sold  for  bondmen  and  bondwomen, 
I had  held  my  tongue,  although  the

enemy  could  not  countervail  the 

king’s  damage.  ^ . 

5 ^ Then  the  king  A-has-u-e-riis 
answered  and  said  unto  Es-ther  the 
queen,  Who  is  he,  and  where  is  he, 
2 that  durst  presume  in  his  heart  to 
do  sol  ^ 

6 And  Es-ther  said,  ^ The  adversary 
and  enemy  is  this  wicked  Ha-man. 
Then  Ha-man  was  afraid  ^before  the 
king  and  the  queen. 

7 H And  the  king  arising  from  the 
banquet  of  wine  in  his  wrath  went 
into  the  palace  garden:  and  Ha- 
man stood  up  to  make  request  for 
his  life  to  Es-ther  the  queen ; for 
he  saw  that  there  was  evil  deter- 
mined against  him  by  the  king. 

8 Then  the  king  returned  out  of 
the  palace  garden  into  the  place  of 
the  banquet  of  wine ; and  Ha-man 
was  fallen  upon  ‘'the  bed  whereon 
Esther  was.  Then  said  the  king. 
Will  he  force  the  queen  also  "^be- 
fore me  in  the  house  1 As  the  word 
went  out  of  the  king’s  mouth,  they 
''covered  Ha-man’s  face. 

9 And  ^Har-bo-nah,  one  of  the 
chamberlains,  said  before  the  king, 
Behold  also,  Hhe  ® gallows  fifty  cu- 
bits high,  which  Ha-man  had  made 
for  M6r-de-cai,  who  had  spoken 

good  for  the  king,  standeth  in  the 
ouse  of  Ha-man.  Then  the  king 
said.  Hang  him  thereon. 

10  So  Hhey  hanged  Ha-man  on 
the  gallows  that  he  had  prepared 
for  M6r-d6-eai.  Then  was  the  king’s 
wrath  pacified. 


CHAPTER  8.

to  reverse  Hainan's  letters.  7 Ahasuerus  granteth  to 
the  Jews  to  defend  themselves.  15  Mordecai’s  honour, 
and  the  Jews’  joy. 

ON  that  day  did  the  king  A-has- 
a-e-rus_give  the  house  of  Hu- 
man the  J^s’  enemy  unto  Es-ther 
the  queen.  And  M6r-de-eai  came 
before  the  king;  for  Es-ther  had 
told  ”what  he  was  unto  her. 

2  And  the  king  took  off  "his  ring, 
which  he  had  taken  from  Ha-man, 
and  gave  it  unto  M6r-d6-eai.  And 
Es-ther  set  M6r-de--eai  over  the 
house  of  Ha-man. 

3  H Ajid  Es-ther  spake  yet  again 
before  the  king,  and  fell  down  at 
his  feet,  ® and  besought  him  _ with 
tears  to  put  away  the  mischief  of 
Ha-man  the  A%ag-ite,  and  his  de- 
vice that  he  had  devised  against 
the  J^s. 

4  Then  ^the  king  held  out  the 
golden  sceptre  toward  Es-ther.  So 
Es-ther  arose,  and  stood  before  the 
king, 

5  And  said,  If  it  please  the  king.

called  at  that  time  in  the  third 
month,  that  is,  the  month  Si-van,

mules,  camels,  and  young  drome-

n Wherein  the  king  granted  the 
Jews  which  were  in  every  city  to 
gather  themselves  together,  and  to 
stand  for  their  life,  to  destroy,  to 
slay,  and  to  cause  to  perish,  all  the

hastened  and  pressed  on  by  the

every  city,  whithersoever  the  king’s

of  the  J^s  hoped  to  have  power 
over  them,  (though  it  was  turi^d 
to  the  contrary,  that  the  Jews 
^'had  rule  over  them  that  hated 
them ;)  _ 

2 The  Jews  gathered  themselves 
together  in  their  cities  through- 
out all  the  provinces  of  the  king 
A-has-u-e-riis,  to  lay  hand  on  such 
as  * sought  their  hurt : and  no  man

1 1 On  . that  day  the  number  of 
those  that  were  slain  in  Shu-shan 
the  palace  ^was  brought  before  the 
king. 

12  ^ And  the  king  ^id  unto  Es- 
ther the  queen.  The  Jews  have  slain 
a,nd  destroyed  five  hundred  men

sons  of  Ha-man;  what  have  they 
done  in  the  rest  of  the  king’s  prov- 
inces'? now  ®what  is  thy  petition"? 
and  it  shall  be  granted  thee:  or 
what  is  thy  request  further!  and 
it  shall  be  done. 

13  Then  said  Es-ther,  If  it  please 
the  king,  let  it  be  granted  to  the 
Jews  which  are  in  Shu-shan  to  do 
to  morrow  also  According  unto  this 
day’s  decree,  and  ^let  Ha-man’s  ten 
sons  *be  hanged  upon  the  gallows. 

14  And  the  king  commanded  it 
so  to  be  done : and  the  decree  was 
given  at  Shu-shan ; and  they  hanged 
Ha-man’s  ten  ^ns. 

15  For  the  Jews  that  were  in  Shu- 
shan  “gathered  themselves  together 
on  the  fourteenth  day  also  of  the 
month  A-dar,  and  slew  three  hun- 
dred men  at  Shu-shan ; ‘’but  on  the 
prey  they  laid  not  their  hand. 

16  But  the  other  Jews  that  were 
in  the  king’s  provinces  « gathered 
themselves  together,  and  stood  for 
their  lives,  and  had  rest  from  their 
enemies,  and  slew  of  their  foes  sev- 
enty and  five  thousand,  *but  they 
laid  not  their  hands  on  the  prey, 

17  On  the  thirteenth  day  of  the 
month  A-dar;  and  on  the  four- 
teenth day  ^of  the  same  rested 
they,  and  made  it  a day  of  feast- 
ing and  gladness. 

18  But  the  Jews  that  were  at  Shu- 

shan  assembled  together  "'on  the 
thirteenth  day  thereof,  and  on  the 
fourteenth  thereof ; and  on  the  fif- 
teenth day  of  the  same  they  rested, 
and  made  it  a day  of  feasting  and 
gladness.  _ 

19  Therefore  the  Jews  of  the  vil- 
lages, that  dwelt  in  the  unwalled 
towns,  made  the  fourteenth  day  of 
the  month  A-dar  ^a  day  of  gladness 
and  feasting,  “and  a good  day, 
and  of  ^sending  portions  one  to 
another.

rested  from  their  enemies,  and 
the  month  which  was  * turned  unto 
them  from  sorrow  to  joy,  and  from 
mourning  into  a good  day : that 
they  should  make  them  days  of 
feasting  and  joy,  and  of  ‘^sending 
portions  one  to  another,  and  gifts 
to  the  poor.  _ 

23  And  the  Jews  undertook  to  do 
as  they  had  begun,  and  as  Mdr-de- 
eai  had  written  unto  them ; 

24  Because  Ha-man  the  son  of 
Ham-med-a-tha,  the  A%ag-ite,  the 
enemy  of  all  the  J^ws,  -^had  de- 
vised against  the  Jews  to  destroy 
them,  and  had  cast  Pur,  that  is,  the 
lot,  to  ^consume  them,  and  to  de- 
stroy them; 

25  But  '‘when®  Es-.ther  came  before

devised  against  the  Jews,  should 
*return  upon  his  own  head,  and 
that  he  and  his  sons  should  be

they  had  seen  concerning  this

to them,  _ 

27  The  Jews  ordained,  and  took 
upon  them,  and  upon  their  seed,

THE  BOOK  OF  JOB. 


CHAPTER  1. 

1 The  holiness,  riches,  and  religious  care  of  Job  for  his 
children.  6 Satan,  apjwaring  before  God,  obtaineth  leave 
to  tempt  Job.  20  Job  in  his  mourning  blesseth  God. 

There  was  a man  “in  the  land 
of  TTz,  whose  name  was  '’Job; 
and  that  man  was  ‘’perfect  and  up- 
right, and  one  that  ‘'feared  God, 
and  eschewed  evil. 

2 And  there  were  born  unto  him 
seven  sons  and  three  daughters. 

3 His  ® substance  also  was  seven 
thousand  sheep,  and  three  thousand

camels,  and  five  hundred  yoke  of 
oxen,  and  five  hundred  she  asses, 
and  a very  great  ^household;  so 
that  this  man  was  the  greatest  of 
all  the  ^men  of  the  east. 

4 And  his  sons  went  and  feasted 
in  their  houses,  every  one  his  day ; 
and  sent  and  called  for  their  three 
sisters  to  eat  and  to  drink  with 
them. 

5 And  it  was  so,  when  the  days  of 
their  feasting  were  gone  about,  that 
Job  sent  and  sanctified  them,  anq 


rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  “and 
offered  burnt  offerings  according 
to  the  number  of  them  all : for  J ob 
said,  It  may  be  that  my  sons  have 
sinned,  and  ^cursed  God  in  their 
hearts.  Thus  did  J ob  ^continually. 

6 ^ Now  there  was  a day  ‘^when 
the  sons  of  God  came  to  present 
themselves  before  the  Lord,  and 
^Sa-tan  came  also  ^among  them. 

7 And  the  Lord  said  unto  SaHan, 
Whence  comest  thoul  Then  Sa- 
tan answered  the  Lord,  and  said. 
From  Agoing  to  and  fro  in  the 
earth,  and  from  walking  up  and 
down  in  it. 

8 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa-tan, 
®Hast  thou  considered  my  servant 
Job,  that  there  is  none  like  him  in 
the  earth,  a perfect  and  an  upright 
man,  one  that  feareth  God,  and  es- 
cheweth  evil  1 

9 Then  Sa-tan  answered  the  Lord, 
and  said,  Doth  Job  fear  God  for 
nought  1 

10  '"Hast  not  thou  made  an  hedge 
about  him,  and  about  his  house, 
and  about  all  that  he  hath  on  every 
sidel  "thou  hast  blessed  the  work 
of  his  hands,  and  his  ® substance  is 
increased  in  the  land. 

11  ® But  put  forth  thine  hand 
now,  and  touch  all  that  he  hath, 
^and  he  will  curse  thee  to  thy 
face. 

12  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa-tan, 
Behold,  all  that  he  hath  is  in  thy 
^ power ; only  upon  himself  put  not 
forth  thine  hand.  So  Sa-tan  went 
forth  from  the  presence  of  the 
Lord. 

13  H And  there  was  a day  *when 
his  sons  and  his  daughters  were 
eating  and  drinking  wine  in  their 
eldest  brother’s  house : 

14  And  there  came  a messenger 
unto  Job,  and  said.  The  oxen  were 
plowing,  and  the  asses  feeding  be- 
side them : 

15  And  the  Sa-be-ans  fell  upon 
them,  and  took  them  away;  yea, 
they  have  slain  the  servants  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword ; and  I only 
am  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

16  While  he  was  yet  speaking, 
there  came  also  another,  and  said, 
^The  fire  of  God  is  fallen  from 
heaven,  and  hath  burned  up  the 
sheep,  and  the  servants,  and  con- 
sumed them;  and  I only  am  es- 
caped alone  to  tell  thee. 

17  While  he  was  yet  speaking, 
there  came  also  another,  and  said. 
The  -Ghal-de-ans  made  out  three 
bands,  and  ®fell  upon  the  camels, 
and  have  carried  them  away,  yea, 
and  slain  the  servants  with  the

18  While  he  was  yet  speaking, 
there  came  also  another,  and  said, 
"Thy  sons  and  thy  daughters  were 
eating  and  drinking  wine  in  their 
eldest  brother’s  house : 

19  And,  behold,  there  came  a 
great  wind  ^from  the  wilderness, 
and  smote  the  four  corners  of  the 
house,  and  it  fell  upon  the  young 
men,  and  they  are  dead ; and  I only 
am  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

20  Then  Job  arose,  -^and  rent  his 
® mantle,  and  shaved  his  head,  and 
^fell  down  upon  the  ground,  and 
worshipped, 

21  And  said,  ^ Naked  came  I out 
of  my  mother’s  womb,  and  naked 
shall  I return  thither:  the  Lord 
"gave,  and  the  Lord  hath  * taken 
av/ay ; * blessed  be  the  name  of  the 
Lord. 

22  “In  all  this  Job  sinned  not,  nor 
’^charged  God  foolishly. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Satan  appearing  again  before  God  obtaineth  further 

leave  to  tempt  Job.  7 He  smiteth  him  with  sore  boils. 

9 Job  reproveth  his  wife.  11  His  three' friends  condole 

with  him  in  silence. 

AGAIN  ^ there  was  a day  when 
the  sons  of  God  came  to  pre- 
sent themselves  before  the  Lord, 
and  Sadan  came  also  among  them 
to  present  himself  before  the  Lord. 

2 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa-tan. 
From  whence  comest  thou?  And 
* Sa-tan  answered  the  Lord,  and 
said.  From  going  to  and  fro  in  the 
earth,  and  from  walking  up  and 
down  in  it. 

3 And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa-tan, 
Hast  thou  considered  my  servant 
Job,  that  there  is  none  like  hirn  in 
the  earth,  “a  perfect  and  an  upright 
man,  one  that  feareth  God,  and  es- 
cheweth  evil*?  and  still  he  ^hold- 
eth  fast  his  integrity,  although  thou 
movedst  me  against  him,  ^to^  de- 
stroy him  without  cause. 

4 And  Sa-tan  answered  the  Lord, 
and  said.  Skin  for  skin,  yea,  all  that 
a man  hath  will  he  give  for  his  life. 

5 ^But  put  forth  thine  hand  now, 
and  touch  his  “bone  and  his  flesh, 
and  he  will  curse  thee  to  thy  face. 

6 *And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa-tan, 
Behold,  he  is  in  thine  hand ; ^but 
save  his  life. 

7 ^ So  went  Sa-tan  forth  from  the 
presence  of  the  Lord,  and  smote 
Job  with  sore  boils  Hrom  the  sole 
of  his  foot  unto  his  crown. 

8 And  he  took  him  a potsherd  to 
scrape  himself  withal;  "^and  he  sat 
down  among  the  ashes. 

9 U Then  said  his  wife  unto  him. 


Job  curseth  the 


JOB,  3,  4. 


day  of  his  birth. 


“Dost  thou  still  * retain  thine  in- 
tegrity*? curse  God,  and  die. 

10  But  he  said  unto  her.  Thou 
speakest  as  one  of  the  foolish  wom- 
en speaketh.  What*?  ‘^shall  we  re- 
ceive good  at  the  hand  of  God,  and 
shall  we  not  receive  evil?  ®In  all 
this  did  not  Job  -^sin  with  his  lips. 

1 1 ^ Now  when  Job’s  three  '‘friends 
heard  of  all  this  evil  that  was  come 
upon  him,  they  came  every  one 
from  his  own  place ; El-i-phaz  the 
*Te-man-ite,  and  Bil-dad  the  *Shu- 
hite,  and  Zo-phar  the  Na-a-rna-thite : 
for  they  had  made  an  appointment 
together  to  come  ’‘‘to  mourn  with 
him  and  to  comfort  him. 

1 2 And  when  they  lifted  up  their 
eyes  afar  off,  and  knew  him  not, 
they  lifted  up  their  voice,  and 
wept ; and  they  rent  every  one  his 
mantle,  and  "sprinkled  dust  upon 
their  heads  toward  heaven. 

13  So  they  sat  down  with  him 
upon  the  ground  ^ seven  days  and 
seven  nights,  and  none  spake  a 
word  unto  him : for  they  saw  that 
his  grief  was  very  great.

AFTER  this  opened  Job  his 
mouth,  and  cursed  his ‘day. 

2 And  Job  ^ spake,  and  said, 

3 "'Let  the  day  perish  wherein  I 
was  born,  and  the  night  in  which 
it  was  said.  There  is  a man  child 
conceived. 

4 Let  that  day  be  darkness ; let 
not  God  regard  it  from  above,  nei- 
ther let  the  light  shine  upon  it. 

5 Let  darkness  and  ^the  shadow 
of  death  ® stain  it ; let  a cloud  dwell 
upon  it ; ''let  the  blackness  of  the 
day  terrify  it. 

6 As  for  that  night,  let  darkness 
seize  upon  it ; ^let  it  not  be  joined 
unto  the  days  of  the  year,  let  it 
not  come  into  the  number  of  the 
months. 

7 Lo,  let  that  night  be  solitary,  let 
no  joyful  voice  come  therein. 

8 Let  them  curse  it  that  curse  the 
day,  ^who  are  ready  to  raise  up 
Hheir  mourning. 

9 Let  the  stars  of  the  twilight 
thereof  be  dark ; let  it  look  for 
light,  but  have  none  ; neither  let  it 
see  ^the  dawning  of  the  day  : 

10  Because  it  shut  not  up  the 
doors  of  my  mother’s  womb,  nor 
hid  sorrow  from  mine  eyes.

8 Even  as  I have  seen,  Hhey  that 
plow  iniquity,  and  sow  wickedness, 
reap  the  same. 

9 By  the  blast  of  God  they  perish, 
and  ^by  the  breath  of  his  nostrils 
are  they  consumed. 

10  The  roaring  of  the  lion,  and

11  ‘^The  old  lion  perisheth  for  lack

12  Now  a thing  was  ® secretly

1 3 In  thoughts  from  the  visions  of 
the  night,  when  deep  sleep  falleth 
on  men, 

14  Fear  ^came  upon  me,  and 
trembling,  which  made  ^all  my 

bones  to  shake. 

15  Then  a spirit  passed  before  my 
face  ; the  hair  of  my  flesh  stood  up  : 

16  It  stood  still,  but  I could  not 
discern  the  form  thereof : an  image 
was  before  mine  eyes,  ‘Sphere  was  si- 
lence, and  I heard  a voice,  saying, 

17  Shall  mortal  man  be  more  just 
than  God]  shall  a man  be  more 
pure  than  his  maker] 

18  Behold,  he  'put  no  trust  in  his

Job’s  reply  to  Eliphaz.  JOB,  6,  7. 


Job  desireth  death. 


so  it  is ; hear  it,  and  know  thou  it 
^for  thy  good. 

CHAPTER  6. 

1 Job  shewc-th  that  his  complaints  are  not  causeless.  8 He 
wishcth  for  death,  wliereiu  he  is  assured  of  comfort.  14 
He  reproveth  his  friends  of  unkindness.  ' 

But  Job  answered  and  said, 

2  Oh  that  my  grief  were 
throughly  weighed,  and  my  calam- 
ity ■■^laid  in  the  balances  together  ! 

3  For  now  it  would  be  heavier 
*than  the  sand  of  the  sea:  therefore 
®my  words  are  swallowed  up, 

4  ‘"For  the  arrows  of  the  Almighty 
are  within  me,  the  poison  whereof 
drinketh  up  my  spirit : ‘^the  terrors 
of  God  do  set  themselves  in  array 
against  me. 

5  Doth  the  wild  ass  bray  ®when 
he  hath  grass  ^ or  loweth  the  ox 
over  his  fodder”? 

6  Can  that  which  is  unsavoury  be 
eaten  without  salt  ? or  is  there  any 
taste  in  the  white  of  an  egg  ? 

7  The  things  that  my  soul  refused 
to  touch  are  as  my  sorrowful  meat. 
8 Oh  that  I might  have  my  re- 
quest; and  that  God  would  grant 
me  ^the  thing  that  I long  for ! 

9  Even  ^ that  it  would  please  God 
to  destroy  me;  that  he  would  let 
loose  his  hand,  and  cut  me  off! 

10  Then  should  I yet  have  com- 
fort; yea,  I would  harden  myself 
in  sorrow:  let  him  not  spare;  for 
* I have  not  concealed  the  words  of 
^the  Holy  One. 

1 1  What  is  my  strength,  that  I 
should  h(me?  and  what  is  mine 
end,  that  I should  prolong  my  life  ? 

12  Is  my  strength  the  strength  of 
stones  ”?  or  is  my  flesh  ^of  brass  ”? 

13  Is  not  my  help  in  me”?  and  is 
wisdom  driven  quite  from  mel 
14  ”To^  him  that  is  afflicted  pity 
should  he  shewed  from  his  friend ; 
but  he  forsaketh  the  fear  of  the 
Almighty. 

15  ^My  brethren  have  dealt  de- 
ceitfully as  a brook,  and  «as  the 
stream  of  brooks  they  pass  away; 

16  Which  are  blackish  by  reason

turned  aside;  they  go  to  nothing, 
and  perish.

them.

/S  there  not  '"an^  appointed  time

ling? 

2  As  a servant  ^earnestly  desireth 
the  shadow,  and  as  an  hireling  look- 
eth  for  the  reward  of  his  work : 

3  So  am  I made  to  possess  ^months 
of  vanity,  and  wearisome  nights  are 
appointed  to  me. 

4  ""When  I lie  down,  I say.  When 
shall  I arise,  and  the  night  be  gone? 
and  I am  full  of  tossings  to  and  fro 
unto  the  dawning  of  the  day. 

5  My  flesh  is  "clothed  with  worms 
and  clods  of  dust ; my  skin  is  bro- 
ken, and  become  loathsome. 

6  ""My  days  are  swifter  than  a 
weaver’s  shuttle,  and  are  spent 
without  hope. 

7  O remember  that  *my  life  is 
wind : mine  eye  ® shall  no  more 
’see  good. 

8  *The  eye  of  him  that  hath  seen

visions: 

15  So  that  my  soul  chooseth  stran- 
gling, and  death  rather  ^than  my

20  I have  sinned;  what  shall  I 
do  unto  thee,  *0  thou  preserver  of

iniquity,  and  searchest  after  my 
sin?

wicked ; and  there  is  none  that  can 
deliver  out  of  thine  hand. 

8 ® Thine  hands  ^have  made  me

about ; yet  thou  dost  destroy  me. 
9 Remember,  I beseech  thee,  that

again  ? 

10  “Hast  thou  not  poured  me  out

CHAPTER  15. 

1 Eliphaz  reproveth  Job  of  impiety.  17  He  proveth  the 
unquietness  of  wicked  men. 

Then  answered  El-i-phaz  the  Te^ 
man-ite,  and  said, 

2 Should  a wise  man  utter  ^vain 
knowledge,  and  fill  his  belly  with 
the  east  windl

with he  can  do  no  good  1 
4 Yea,  ^thou  castest  off  fear,  and 
restrainest  Sprayer  before  God. 

5 For  thy  mouth  ®uttereth  thine 
iniquity,  and  thou  chooses t the 
tongue  of  the  crafty. 

6 '‘Thine  own  mouth  condemneth 
thee,  and  not  I : yea,  thine  own  lips 
testify  against  thee.

9 'What  knowest  thou,  that  we

thou,  which  is  not  in  us? 

10  ”With  us  are  both  the  gra;^

11  Are  the  consolations  ot  God

15  'Behold,  he  putteth  no  trust  in 
his  saints  ; yea,  the  heavens  are  not 
clean  in  his  sight.  . 

16  *How  much  more  abominable

JOB,  16,  17. 


Job  asserteth  his  innocence. 


22  He  believeth  not  that  he  shall 
return  out  of  darkness,  and  he  is 
waited  for  of  the  sword. 

23  He  “wandereth  abroad  for  bread, 
saying.  Where  is  it?  he  knoweth 
that  *the  day  of  darkness  is  ready 
at  his  hand. 

24  Trouble  and  anguish  shall  make 
him  afraid ; they  shall  prevail  a- 

fainst  him,  as  a king  ready  to  the 
attle. 

25  For  he  stretcheth  out  his  hand 
against  God,  and  strengtheneth 
himself  against  the  Almighty. 

26  He  runneth  upon  him,  even  on 
his  neck,  upon  the  thic^~  bosses  of 
his  bucklers : 

27  '‘Because  he  covereth  his  face 
with  his  fatness,  and  maketh  collops 
of  fat  on  his  flanks. 

28  And  he  dwelleth  in  desolate 
cities,  and  in  houses  which  no  man 
inhabiteth,  which  are  ready  to  be- 
come heaps. 

29  He  shall  not  be  rich,  neither 
shall  his  substance  continue,  nei- 
ther shall  he  prolong  the  perfection 
thereof  upon  the  earth. 

30  He  shall  not  depart  out  of 
darkness ; the  flame  shall  dry  up 
his  branches,  and  'by  the  breath 
of  his  mouth  shall  he  go  awaj^. 

31  Let  not  him  that  is  deceived 
trust  in  vanity : for  vanity  shall 
be  his  recompence. 

32  It  shall  be  ^accomplished  "be- 
fore his  time,  and  his  branch  shall 
not  be  green. 

33  He  shall  shake  off  his  unripe 
grape  as  the  vine,  and  shall  cast  off 
his  flower  as  the  olive.  ^ 

34  For  the  congregation  of  hypo- 
crites shall  he  desolate,  and  fire 
shall  consume  the  tabernacles  of 
bribery.

2 Therefore  do  my  thoughts  cause 
me  to  answer,  and  for  this  H make 
haste. 

3 I have  heard  the  check  of  my 
reproach,  and  the  spirit  of  my  um 
derstanding  causeth  me  to  answer. 
4 Knowest  thou  not  this  of  old, 
since  man  was  placed  upon  earth, 
5 *'That  the  triumphing  of  the 
wicked  is  ^short,  and  the  joy  of  the 
hypocrite  but  for  a moment  % 

6  ‘’Though  his  excellency  mount 
up  to  the  heavens,  and  his  head 
reach  unto  the  ^clouds ; 

7  Yet  he  shall  perish  for  ever  like 
his  own  dung:  they  which  have 
seen  him  shall  say.  Where  is  he'? 

8  He  shall  fly  away  ‘^as  a dream, 
and  shall  not  be  found:  yea,  he 
shall  be  chased  away  as  a vision  of 
the  night. 

9  The  eye  also  which  saw  him 
shall  see  him  no  more ; neither  shall 
his  place  any  more  behold  him. 

10  “His  children  shall  seek  to 
please  the  poor,  and  his  hands  shall 
restore  their  goods. 

1 1  His  bones  are  full  of  ^ the  sin 
of  his  youth,  ^ which  shall  lie  down 
with  him  in  the  dust. 

12  Though  wickedness  be  sweet 
in  his  mouth,  though  he  hide  it 
under  his  tongue; 

1 3  Though  he  spare  it,  and  forsake 
it  not ; but  keep  it  still  ® within  his 
mouth : 

14  Yet  his  meat  in  his  bowels  is 
turned,  it  is  the  gall  of  asps  within 
him. 

1 5  He  hath  swallowed  down  riches, 
and  he  shall  vomit  them  up  again  : 
God  shall  cast  them  out  of  his  belly. 

1 6  He  shall  suck  the  poison  of  asps : 
the  viper’s  tongue  shall  slay  him. 

17  He  shall  not  see  Hhe  rivers, 
^the  floods,  the  brooks  of  honey 
and  butter. 

18  That  which  he  laboured  for 
shall  he  restore,  and  shall  not  swal- 
low it  down : ^according  to  his  sub- 
stance shall  the  restitution  be,  and 
he  shall  not  rejoice  therein. 

19  Because  he  hath  “oppressed  and 
hath  forsaken  the  poor;  because  he 
hath  violently  taken  away  an  house 
which  he  builded  not ; 

20  ™ Surely  he  shall  not  Heel  quiet- 
ness in  his  belly,  he  shall  not  save 
of  that  which  he  desired. 

21  There  shall  none  of  his  meat 
be  left ; therefore  shall  no  man  look 
for  his  goods.

JOB,  21. 


Their  future  judgment. 


22  In  the  fulness  of  his  sufficiency 
he  shall  be  in  straits:  every  hand 
of  the  1 wicked  shall  come  upon 

23  When  he  is  about  to  fill  his 
belly,  God  shall  cast  the  fury  of  his 
wrath  upon  him,  and  shall  rain  it 
upon  him  while  he  is  eating. 

24  ‘^He  shall  flee  from  the  iron 
weapon,  and  the  bow  of  steel  shall 
strike  him  through. 

25  It  is  drawn,  and  cometh  out  of 
the  body ; yea,  the  glittering  sword 
cometh  out  of  his  gall : terrors  are 
upon  him. 

26  All  darkness  shall  he  hid  in  his 
secret  places:  '^afire  not  blown  shall 
consume  him ; it  shall  go  ill  with 
him  that  is  left  in  his  tabernacle. 

27  The  heaven  shall  reveal  his  in- 
iquity ; and  the  earth  shall  rise  up 
against  him. 

28  The  increase  of  his  house  shall 
depart,  and  his  goods  shall  flow 
away  in  the  day  of  his  wrath. 

29  ^This  is  the  portion  of  a wicked 
man  from  God,  and  the  heritage 
® appointed  unto  him  by  God. 

CHAPTER  21. 

1 Job  sheweth  he  hath  reaton  to  be  grieved.  7 Sometimes 
the  wicked  prosper.  16  Sometimes  their  destruction  is 
manifest.  22  The  happy  and  unhappy  are  alike  in  death. 
27  The  judgment  of  the  wicked  is  in  another  world. 

But  Job  answered  and  said, 

2 Hear  diligently  my  speech, 
and  let  this  be  your  consolations. 

3 Suffer  me  that  I may  speak ; and 
after  that  I have  spoken,  ”mock  on.

6  For  thou  hast  •''taken  a pledge

by  the  pureness  of  thine  hands. 

CHAPTER  23. 

1 Job  longeth  to  appear  before  God,  6 in  confidence  of  his 

mercy.  8 God  observeth  our  ways.  11  Job’s  innocency. 

13  God's  decree  is  immutable. 

Then  Job  answered  and  said, 

2 Even  to  day  is  my  complaint 
bitter : ^ my  stroke  is  heavier  than 
my  groaning. 

3  Oh  that  I knew  where  I might 
find  him  ! that  I might  come  even 
to  his  seat ! 

4  I would  order  my  cause  before 
him,  and  fill  my  mouth  with  argu- 
ments. 

5  I would  know  the  words  which 
he  would  answer  me,  and  under- 
stand what  he  would  say  unto  me. 
6 Will  he  plead  against  me  with 
his  great  power  ? No ; but  he  would 
put  strength  in  me. 

7 There  the  righteous  might  dis- 
pute with  him ; so  should  I be  de- 
livered for  ever  from  my  judge. 

8  Behold,  I go  forward,  but  he  is 
not  there ; and  backward,  but  I can- 
not perceive  him : 

9  On  the  left  hand,  where  he  doth 
work,  but  I cannot  behold  him : he 
hidetb  himself  on  the  right  hand, 
that  I cannot  see  him: 

1 0  But  he  ® knoweth  ® the  way  that 
I take:  when  ^he  hath  tried  me,  I 
shall  come  forth  as  gold. 

11  'My  foot  hath  held  his  steps, 
his  way  have  I kept,  and  not  de- 
clined. 

12  Neither  have  I gone  back  from 
the  commandment  of  his  lips ; “ I '

nave  esteemed  the  words  of  his  mouth 
more  than  ^ my  necessary  food. 

13  But  he  is  in  one  mind,  and 
®who  can  turn  him'?  and  what  ‘^his 
soul  desireth,  even  that  he  doeth. 

14  For  he  performeth  the  thing 
that  is  ® appointed  for  me:  and 
many  such  things  are  with  him. 

15  Therefore  am  I troubled  at  his 
presence : when  I consider,  I am 
afraid  of  him. 

16  For  God  f maketh  my  heart  soft, 
and  the  Almighty  troubleth  me : 

17  Because  I was  not  cut  off  be- 
fore the  darkness,  neither  hath  he 
covered  the  darkness  from  my  face. 

CHAPTER  24. 

1 Wickedness  goefh  often  unjiunish^d.  17  There  is  a 
secret  judgment  for  the  wicked. 

WHY,  seeing  ^ times  are  not  hid- 
den from  the  Almighty,  do 
they  that  know  him  not  see  his 
days  ? 

2  Some  remove  the  ^landmarks; 
they  violently  take  away  flocks,  and 
^ feed  thereof. 

3  They  drive  away  the  ass  of  the 
fatherless,  they  Hake  the  widow’s 
ox  for  a pledge. 

4  They  turn  the  needy  out  of  the 
way:  ”*^the  poor  of  the  earth  hide 
themselves  together. 

5  Behold,  as  wild  asses  in  the 
desert,  go  they  forth  to  their  work  ; 
rising  betimes  for  a prey : the  wil- 
derness yieldeth  food  for  them  and 
for  their  children. 

6  They  reap  every  one  his  ®corn 
in  the  field  : and  ^ they  gather  the 
vintage  of  the  wicked. 

7  They  "cause  the  naked  to  lodge 
without  clothing,  that  they  have  no 
covering  in  the  cold. 

8  They  are  wet  with  the  showers 
of  the  mountains,  and  ^embrace  the 
rock  for  want  of  a shelter. 

9  They  pluck  the  fatherless  from 
the  breast,  and  take  a pledge  of  the 
poor. 

10  They  cause  him  to  go  naked 
without  clothing,  and  they  take 
away  the  sheaf  from  the  hungry  ; 

11  Which  make  oil  within  their 
walls,  and  tread  their  winepresses, 
and  suffer  thirst. 

12  Men  groan  from  out  of  the  city, 
and  the  soul  of  the  wounded  crieth 
out:  yet  God  layeth  not  folly  to 
them. 

13  They  are  of  those  that  rebel 
against  the  light ; they  know  not 
the  ways  thereof,  nor  abide  in  the 
paths  thereof.

themselves  in  the  daytime : -^they 
know  not  the  light. 

17  For  the  morning  is  to  them

terrors  of  the  shadow  of  death.

the  worm  shall  feed  sweetly  on 
him;  He  shall  be  no  more  re- 
membered ; and  wickedness  shall 
be  broken  as  a tree. 

21  He  evil  entreateth  the  barren 
that  beareth  not:  and  doeth  not 
good  to  the  widow. 

22  He  draweth  also  the  mighty 
with  his  power : he  riseth  up,  ® and 
no  man  is  sure  of  life. 

23  Though  it  be  given  him  to  he 
in  safety,  whereon  he  resteth ; yet 
” his  eyes  are  upon  their  ways. 

24  They  are  exalted  for  a little 
while,  but  ®are  gone  and  brought 
low;  they  are  taken  out  of  the 
way  as  all  other,  and  cut  off  as  the 
tops  of  the  ears  of  corn. 

25  And  if  it  be  not  so  now,  who

speech  nothing  worth  1

8 ^He  bindeth  up  the  waters  in

9 He  lioldeth  back  the  face  of  his

CHAPTER  27. 

1 Job  protesteth  his  sincerity.  8 The  hypocrite  is  without 
hope.  11  The  blessings  which  the  wicked  have  are  turned 
into  curses. 

Moreover  Job  “continued  his 
parable,  and  said, 

2 As  God  liveth,  ^who  hath  taken 
away  my  judgment ; and  the  Al- 
mighty, tvho  hath  ''vexed  my  soul ; 
3 All  the  while  my  breath  is  in 
me,  and  '“^the  spirit  of  God  is  in  my 
nostrils ; 

4  My  lips  shall  not  speak  wicked- 
ness, nor  my  tongue  utter  deceit. 

5  God  forbid  that  I should  justify 
you  : till  I die  will  not  remove 
mine  integrity  from  me. 

6  My  righteousness  I ^hold  fast, 
and  will  not  let  it  go : ^'my  heart 
shall  not  reproach  me  ^so  long  as  I 
live. 

7  Let  mine  enemy  be  as  the  wicked, 
and  he  that  riseth  up  against  me  as 
the  unrighteous. 

8  *For  what  is  the  hope  of  the 
hypocrite,  though  he  hath  gained, 
when  God  taketh  away  his  soul? 

9  'Will  God  hear  his  cry  when

CHAPTER  29. 

Job  bemoaneth  himself  of  his  former  prosperity  and  honour. 

Moreover  Job  ^continued  his 
parable,  and  said, 

2  Oh  that  I were  “as  in  months 
past,  as  in  the  days  when  God  pre- 
served me ; 

3  *When  his  ^candle  shined  upon 
my  head,  and  when  by  his  light  I 
walked  through  darkness; 

4  As  I was  in  the  days  of  my 
youth,  when  ‘'the  secret  of  God  was 
upon  my  tabernacle ; 

5  When  the  Almighty  was  yet 
with  me,  when  my  children  were 
about  me ; 

6  When  -^I  washed  my  steps  with 
butter,  and  «'the  rock  poured  ^me 
out  rivers  of  oil; 

7  When  I went  out  to  the  gate 
through  the  city,  when  I prepared 
my  seat  in  the  street ! 

8  The  young  men  saw  me,  and  hid 
themselves:  and  the  aged  arose, 
and  stood  up. 

9  The  princes  refrained  talking, 
and  *laid  their  hand  on  their  mouth. 

10  "^The  nobles  held  their  peace, 
and  their  Hongue  cleaved  to  the 
roof  of  their  mouth. 

11  When  the  ear  heard  me,  then 
it  blessed  me ; and  when  the  eye 
saw  me,  it  gave  witness  to  me : 

12  Because  "'I  delivered  the  poor 
that  cried,  and  the  fatherless,  and 
him  that  had  none  to  help  him. 

13  The  blessing  of  him  that  was 
ready  to  perish  came  upon  me : 
and  I caused  the  widow’s  heart  to 
sing  for  joy. 

14  ‘’I  put  on  righteousness,  and  it 
clothed  me : my  judgment  was  as 
a robe  and  a diadem. 

15  I was  ^eyes  to  the  blind,  and 
feet  was  I to  the  lame. 

16  I was  a father  to  the  poor: 
and  ’’the  cause  which  I knew  not 
I searched  out. 

17  And  I brake  *the^  jaws  of  the 
wicked,  and  plucked  the  spoil  out 
of  his  teeth. 

18  Then  I said,  “I  shall  die  in  my 
nest,  and  I shall  multiply  my  days 
as  the  sand. 

19  ^My  root  was  ^spread  out  ^by 
the  waters,  and  the  dew  lay  all 
night  upon  my  branch. 

20  My  glory  was  Afresh  in  me, 
and  ''my  bow  was  ‘^renewed  in  my 
hand. 

21  Unto  me  men  gave  ear,  and 
waited,  and  kept  silence  at  my 
; counsel. 

22  After  my  words  they  spake  not 
again ; and  my  speech  dropped 
upon  them.

23  And  they  waited  for  me  as  for  B.c.  1520. 
the  rain  ; and  they  opened  their 
mouth  wide  as  for  “the  latter  rain.  «zech.  10. 1. 

24  ^ I laughed  on  them,  they  be- 
lieved it  not ; and  the  light  of  my 
countenance  they  cast  not  down. 

25  I chose  out  their  way,  and  sat 
chief,  and  dwelt  as  a king  in  the 
army,  as  one  that  comforteth  the 
mourners. 


CHAPTER  30. 

' 1 Job's  'honour  is  turned  into  extreme  contempt: 

15  h'ls  prosperity  into  calamity. 

But  now  they  that  are  * younger 
than  I have  me  in  derision, 
whose  fathers  I would  have  dis- 
dained to  have  set  with  the  dogs 
of  my  flock. 

2  Yea,  whereto  might  the  strength 
of  their  hands  projit  me,  in  whom 
old  age  was  perished  1 
3 For  want  and  famine  they  were 
® solitary ; fleeing  into  the  wilder- 
ness ’in  former  time  desolate  and 
waste. 

4  Who  cut  up  mallows  by  the 
bushes,  and  juniper  roots  for  their 
meat. 

5  They  were  driven  forth  from 
among  men.,  (they  cried  after  them 
as  after  a thief ;) 

6  To  dwell  in  the  cliffs  of  the 
valleys,  in  ® caves  of  the  earth,  and 
in  the  rocks. 

7  Among  the  bushes  they  brayed ; 
under  the  nettles  they  were  gath- 
ered together. 

They  were  children  of  fools,  yea, 
children  of  ^ base  men : they  were 
viler  than  the  earth. 

9  *And  now  am  I their  song,  yea, 
I am  their  byword. 

10  They  abhor  me,  they  flee  far 
from  me,  ^and  spare  not  *to  spit  in 
my  face. 

11  Because  he  ^hath  loosed  my 
cord,  and  afflicted  me,  they  have 
also  let  loose  the  bridle  before  me. 

12  Upon  my  right  hand  rise  the 
youth-  they  push  away  my  feet, 
and  ”they  raise  up  against  me  the 
ways  of  their  destruction. 

13  They  mar  my  path,  they  set 
forward  my  calamity,  they  have 
no  helper. 

14  They  came  upon  me  as  a wide 
breaking  in  of  waters : in  the  deso- 
lation they  rolled  themselves  upon 
me. 

15  Terrors  are  turned  upon  me: 
they  pursue  ^my  soul  as  the  wind  : 
and  my  welfare  passeth  away  as  a 
cloud. 

16  ^ And  now  my  soul  is  poured 
out  upon  me ; the  days  of  affliction 
have  taken  hold  upon  me.

18  By  the  great  force  of  my  disease 
is  my  garment  changed  : it  bindeth 
me  about  as  the  collar  of  my  coat. 

1 9 He  hath  cast  me  into  the  mire, 
and  I am  become  like  dust  and 
ashes. 

20  I cry  unto  thee,  and  thou  dost 
not  hear  me : I stand  up,  and  thou 
regardest  me  not. 

21  Thou  art  ’become  cruel  to  me: 
with  ^thy  strong  hand  thou  oppos- 
est  thyself  against  me. 

22  Thou  liftest  me  up  to  the  wind : 
thou  causest  me  to  ride  upon  it,  and 
dissolvest  my  ^substance. 

23  For  I know  that  thou  wilt  bring 
me  to  death,  and  to  the  house  *ap- 
pointed  for  all  living. 

24  Howbeit  he  will  not  stretch  out 
his  hand  to  the  ® grave,  though  they 
cry  in  his  destruction.

was  in  trouble  1 was  not  my  soul 
grieved  for  the  poor? 

26  ‘^When  I looked  for  good,  then 
evil  came  unto  me:  and  when  I 
waited  for  light,  there  came  dark- 
ness. 

27  My  bowels  boiled,  and  rested 
not : the  days  of  affliction  pre- 
vented me. 

28  ® I went  mourning  without  the 
sun  : I stood  up,  and  I cried  in  the 
congregation.

a companion  to  ’owls. 

30  ^ My  skin  is  black  upon  me,  and

mourning,  and  my  organ  into  the 
voice  of  them  that  weep. 

CHAPTER  31. 

Job  maketh  a solemn  protestation  of  his  integrity  in 
several  duties. 

I MADE  a covenant  with  mine 
*“eyes  ; why  then  should  I think 
upon  a maid  ? 

2 For  what  “portion  of  God  is 
there  from  above?  and  what  in- 
heritance of  the  Almighty  from  on 
high? 

3  Is  not  destruction  to  the  wicked? 
and  a strange  punishment  to  the 
workers  of  iniquity? 

4  ^Doth  not  he  see  my  ways,  and 
count  all  my  steps? 

5  If  I have  walked  with  vanity, 
or  if  my  foot  hath  hasted  to  de- 
ceit ; 

6  ®Let  me  be  weighed  in  an  even 
balance,  that  God  may  know  mine 
integrity. 

7  If  my  step  hath  turned  out  of 
the  way,  and  ’'mine  heart  walked

integrity  in  several  duties. 


after  mine  eyes,  and  if  any  blot 
hath  cleaved  to  mine  hands ; 

8 Then  *let  me  sow,  and  let  an- 
other eat ; yea,  let  my  offspring  be 
rooted  out. 

9 If  mine  heart  have  been  deceived 
by  a woman,  or  if  I have  laid  wait 
at  my  neighbour’s  door ; 

10  Then  let  my  wife  grind  unto 
**  another,  and  let  others  bow  down 
upon  her. 

1 1 For  this  is  an  heinous  crime ; 
yea,  -^it  is  an  iniquity  to  be  punished 
by  the  judges. 

12  For  it  is  a fire  that  consumeth 
to  destruction,  and  would  root  out 
all  mine  increase. 

13  If  I did  despise  the  cause  of  my 
manservant  or  of  my  maidservant, 
when  they  contended  with  me ; 

14  What  then  shall  I do  when 
*God  riseth  up  % and  when  he  visit- 
eth,  what  shall  I answer  him  % 

15  '^Did  not  he  that  made  me  in 
the  womb  make  him*?  and  ^did  not 
one  fashion  us  in  the  womb  % 

16  If  I have  withheld  the  poor 
from  their  desire,  or  have  caused 
the  eyes  of  the  widow  to  fail ; 

17  Or  have  eaten  my  morsel  my- 
self alone,  and  the  fatherless  hath 
not  eaten  thereof ; 

18  (For  from  my  youth  he  was 
brought  up  with  me,  as  tvith  a 
father,  and  I have  guided  ^her 
from  my  mother’s  womb ;) 

19  If  I have  seen  any  perish  for 
want  of  clothing,  or  any  poor  with- 
out covering ; 

20  If  his  loins  have  not  "blessed 
me,  and  if  he  were  not  warmed 
with  the  fleece  of  my  sheep ; 

21  If  I have  lifted  up  my  hand 
^’against  the  fatherless,  when  I saw 
my  help  in  the  gate : 

22  Then  let  mine  arm  fall  from 
my  shoulder  blade,  and  mine  arm 
be  broken  from  ^ the  bone. 

23  For  ^destruction /rom  God  was 
a terror  to  me,  and  by  reason  of  his 
highness  I could  not  endure. 

24  * If  I have  made  gold  my  hope, 
or  have  said  to  the  fine  gold.  Thou 
art  my  confidence ; 

25  Gf  I rejoiced  because  my  wealth 

was  great,  and  because  mine  hand 
had  ^gotten  much  ; . 

26  ^If  I beheld  Hhe  sun  when  it 
shined,  or  the  moon  walking 
brightness ; 

27  And  my  heart  hath  been  se- 
cretly enticed,  or  ^my  mouth  hath 
kissed  my  hand : 

28  This  also  were  ^an  iniquity  to 
be  punished  by  the  judge : for  I 
should  have  denied  the  God  that 
is  above.

1 Elihu  is  angry  with  Job  and  his  three  friends.  6 Because

O these  three  men  ceased  ^to 
answer  Job,  because  he  was 
righteous  in  his  own  eyes. 

2 Then  was  kindled  the  wrath  of 

E-li-hu  the  son  of  Bar-a-chel  "the 
Buz-ite,  of  the  kindred  of  Rani: 
against  Job  was  his  wrath  kindled, 
because  he  justified  ^himself  rather 
than  (Tod.  . . . , 

3 Also  against  his  three  friends 
was  his  wrath  kindled,  because 
they  had  found  no  answer,  and  yet 
had  condemned  Job.  ^ 

4 Now  E-h-hu  had ’waited  till  Job 

had  spoken,  because  they  were  ^elder 
than  he.  _ , _ 

5 When  E-li-hu  saw  that  there  was 

no  answer  in  the  mouth  of  these

not  shew  you  mine  opinion. 

7 I said.  Days  should  speak,  and 
multitude  of  years  should  teach 
wisdom. 

8 But  there  is  a spirit  in  man  : and 
®the  inspiration  of  the  Almighty 
giveth  them  understanding. 

9 ** Great  men  are  not  always  wise: 
neither  do  the  aged  understand 
judgment. 

10  Therefore  I said.  Hearken  to 
me ; I also  will  shew  mine  opinion. 

1 1 Behold,  I waited  for  your  words ; 
I gave  ear  to  youi  ® reasons,  whilst 
ye  searched  out  ®what  to  say. 

12  Yea,  I attended  unto  you,  and, 
behold,  there  was  none  of  you  that 
convinced  J ob,  or  that  answered  his

13  ^^Lest  ye  should  say.  We  have

him  down,  not  man. 

14  Now  he  hath  not  "^directed  his

answer  him  with  your  speeches. 

15  They  were  amazed,  they  an- 
swered no  more : ^ they  left  olf 
speaking. 

16  When  I had  waited,  (for  they 
spake  not,  but  stood  still,  and  an- 
swered no  more;) 

17  / said,  I will  answer  also  my 
part,  I also  will  shew  mine  opinion. 

18  For  I am  full  of  ^matter,  ^the 
spirit  within  me  constraineth  me. 

19  Behold,  my  belly  is  as  wine 
which  ® hath  no  vent ; it  is  ready 
to  burst  like  new  bottles. 

20  I will  speak,  '^that  I may  be

answer. 

21  Let  me  not,  I pray  you,  ^accept 
any  man’s  person,  neither  let  me

God  from  giving  man  an  account  of  his  ways,  by  his 
greatness.  14  God  calleth  man  to  repentance  by  visions, 
19  by  afflictions,  23  and  by  his  ministry,  31  He  inciteth 
Job  to  attention. 


WHEBEFOBE,  Job,  I pray 
thee,  hear  my  speeches,  and 
hearken  to  all  my  words. 

2  Behold,  now  I have  opened  my 
mouth,  my  tongue  hath  spoken  ^in 
my  mouth. 

3  My  words  shall  he  of  the  upright- 
ness of  my  heart : and  my  lips  shall 
atter  knowledge  clearly. 

4  ®The  spirit  of  God  hath  made 
me,  and  the  breath  of  the  Almighty 
nath  given  me  life.

thy  words  in  order  before  me, 
stand  up. 

6 “Behold,  I am  ^according  to  thy 
wish  in  God’s  stead  : I also  am 
^formed  out  of  the  clay. 

7 * Behold,  my  terror  shall  not 
make  thee  afraid,  neither  shall  my 
hand  be  heavy  upon  thee. 

8 Surely  thou  hast  spoken  '‘in  mine 
hearing,  and  I have  heard  the  voice 
of  thy  words,  saying, 

9 H am  clean  without  transgres- 
sion, I ani  innocent ; neither  is  there 
iniquity  in  me. 

10  Behold,  he  findeth  occasions 
against  me,  -^he  counteth  me  for  his 
enemy, 

11  He  putteth  my  feet  in  the 
stocks,  he  marketh  all  my  paths. 

1 2 Behold,  in  this  thou  art  not 
just : I will  answer  thee,  that  (Jod 
is  greater  than  man. 

13  Why  dost  thou '^strive  against 
him?  for  ®he  giveth  not  account  of 
any  of  his  matters. 

14  *For  God  speaketh  once,  yea 
twice,  yet  man  perceiveth  it  not. 

15  *In  a dream,  in  a vision  of  the 
night,  when  deep  sleep  falleth  upon 
men,  in  slumberings  upon  the  bed  ; 

16  *Then  ^he  openeth  the  ears  of 
men,  and  sealeth  their  instruction, 

17  That  he  may  withdraw  man 
from  his  ‘“^purpose,  and  hide  pride 
from  man. 

18  He  keepeth  back  his  soul  from 
the  pit,  and  his  life  ®from  perishing 
by  the  sword. 

1 9 He  is  chastened  also  with  pain 
upon  his  bed,  and  the  multitude  of 
his  bones  with  strong  pain : 

20  "^So  that  his  life  abnorreth  bread, 
and  his  soul  ® dainty  meat. 

21  His  flesh  is  consumed  away, 
that  it  cannot  be  seen  ; and  his 
bones  that  were  not  seen  stick  out. 

22  Yea,  his  soul  draweth  near 
unto  the  grave,  and  his  life  to  the 
destroyers. 

23  If  there  be  a messenger  with 
him,  an  interpreter,  one  among  a 
thousand,  to  shew  unto  man  his 
uprightness: 

24  Then  he  is  gracious  unto  him, 
and  saith.  Deliver  him  from  going 
down  to  the  pit : I have  found  ^a 
ransom. 

25  His  flesh  shall  be  fresher  Hhan 
a child’s : he  shall  return  to  the 
days  of  his  youth : 

26  He  shall  pray  unto  God,  and 
he  will  be  favourable  unto  him: 
and  he  shall  see  his  face  with  joy: 
fw  he  will  render  unto  man  his 
righteousness. 

27  ®He  looketh  upon  men,  and

verted  that  which  was  right,  and  it 
“profited  me  not ; 

28  ^He  will  deliver  his  soul  from 

going  into  the  pit,  and  his  life  shall 
see  the  light.  . 

29  Lo,  all  these  things  worketh 
God  ® oftentimes  with  man, 

30  To  bring  back  his  soul  from 
the  pit,  to  be  enlightened  with  the 
light  of  the  living. 

31  Mark  well,  O Job,  hearken  un- 
to me : hold  thy  peace,  and  I will 

' 32  If  thou  hast  any  thing  t9  say, 
answer  me : speak,  for  I desire  to 
justify  thee.  , , . 

33  If  not,  '"hearken  unto  me:  hold 
thy  peace,  and  I shall  teach  thee 
wisdom. 

CHAPTER  34. 

1 Elihu  accuseth  Job  for  charging  God  with  injustice.  10 
God  cannot  be  unjust,  31  Man  must  humble  himself 
unto  God.  34  Elihu  reproveth  Job. 

Furthermore  E-ii-ha  an 

swered  and  said, 

2  Hear  my  words,  0 ye  wise  men , 
and  give  ear  unto  me,  ye  that  have 
knowledge. 

3  ""For  the  ear  trieth  words,  as  the 
■'mouth  tasteth  meat. 

4  Let  us  choose  to  us  judgment : 
let  us  know  among  ourselves  what 
is  good. 

5  For  Job  hath  said,  I am  right- 
eous : and  ”God  hath  taken  away 
my  judgment.  . . , , o 

6  "Should  I he  against  my  right  f 
^my  wound  is  incurable  without 
transgression. 

7  What  man  is  like  Job,  '^who 
drinketh  up  scorning  like  waters 
8 Which  goeth  in  company  with 
the  workers  of  iniquity,  and  walk- 
eth  with  wicked  men. 

9  For  *he  hath  said.  It  profiteth  a 
man  nothing  that  he  should  delight 
himself  with  God. 

10  Therefore  hearken  unto  me,  ye 
®men  of  understanding:  ‘far  be  it 
from  God,  that  he  should  do  wick- 
edness ; and  from  the  Alrnighty , 
that  he  should  commit  iniquity. 

11  2/ For  the  work  of  a man  shall 
he  render  unto  him,  and  cause  every 
man  to  find  according  to  his  ways. 

12  Yea,  surely  God  will  not  do 
wickedly,  neither  will  the  Almighty 
pervert  judgment.  , 

13  Who  hath  given  him  a charge 
over  the  earth  % or  who  hath  dis- 
posed ®the  whole  world'? 

14  If  he  set  his  heart  ''upon  man, 
i/he  "gather  unto  himself  his  spirit 
and  his  breath ; 

15  All  flesh  shall  perish  together, 
and  man  shall  turn  again  unto  dust.

ing,  hear  this : hearken  to  the  voice 
of  my  words.  , . , 

17  "Shall  even  he  that  hateth  right 
2 govern'?  and  wilt  thou  condemn 
him  that  is  most  just  ? 

18  ^Is  it  fit  to  say  to  a king.  Thou 
art  wicked  1 and  to  princes.  Ye  a/re. 
ungodly'? 

19  How  much  less  to  him  that  "ac- 

cepteth  not  the  persons  of  princes, 
nor  regardeth  the  rich  more  than 
the  poor '?  for -^they  all  are  the  work 
of  his  hands.  , „ 

20  In  a moment  shall  they  die, 
and  the  people  shall  be  troubled at 
midnight,  and  pass  away : and  the 
mighty  shall  be  taken  away  with- 
out hand. 

21  "For  his  eyes  are  upon  the  ways 
of  man,  and  he  seeth  all  his  goings. 

22  ^There  is  no  darkness,  nor  shad- 
ow of  death,  where  the  workers  of 
iniquity  may  hide  themselves. 

23  For  he  will  not  lay  upon  man 
more  than  right ; that  he  should 
® enter  into  judgment  with  God. 

24  ' He  shall  break  in  pieces  mighty 

men®without  number,  and  set  others 
in  their  stead.  , , . , . 

25  Therefore  he  knoweth  their 

works,  and  he  overturneth  t^m 
in  the  night,  so  that  they  are  ® de- 
stroyed. , .11 

26  He  striketh  them  as  wicked 
men  ^in  the  open  sight  of  others ; 

27  Because  they  turned  back  Hrom 
him,  and  ^would  not  consider  any 
of  his  ways: 

28  So  that  they  ^cause  the  cry  ol 
the  poor  to  come  unto  him,  and  he 
heareth  the  cry  of  the  afflicted. 

29  When  he  giveth  quietness,  who 

then  can  make  trouble'?  and  when 
he  hideth  his  face,  who  then  can 
behold  him'?  whether  it  he  done 
against  a nation,  or  against  a man 
only:  , , . 

30  That  the  hypocrite  reign  not, 
lest  “the  people  be  ensnared.  , 

31  Surely  it  is  meet  to  be  said 
unto  God,  *I  have  borne  chastise- 
ment, I will  not  offend  any  more: 

32  That  which  I see  not  teach 
thou  me : if  I have  done  iniquity, 
I will  do  no  more. 

33  ^Should  it  be  according,  to  thy 
mindl  he  will  recompense  it,  whe- 
ther thou  refuse,  or  whether  thou 
choose  ; and  not  I : therefore  speak 
what  thou  knowest. 

34  Let  men  ®of  understanding  tell 
me,  and  let  a wise  man  hearken 

35  “Job  hath  spoken  without  know- 
ledge, and  his  words  were  without 

wisdom.  . , T T i, 

36  ®My  desire  is  that  Job  may  be

answers  for  v/icked  men. 

37  For  he  addeth  rebellion  unto  his 
sin,  he  clappeth  his  hands  among  us. 
and  multiplieth  his  words  against 
God.

CHAPTER  35. 


1 Comparison  is  not  to  be  made  with  God.  9 Many  ory  in 
their  afflictions,  but  are  not  heard. 

E-LRHU  spake  moreover,  and 
said, 

2  Thinkest  thou  this  to  be  right, 
that  thou  saidst,  My  righteousness 
is  more  than  God’s '? 

3  For  ‘'thou  saidst.  What  advant- 
age will  it  be  unto  thee'?  and.  What 
profit  shall  I have,  if  I he  cleansed 
from  my  sin'? 

4^1  will  answer  thee,  and  ^ thy  com- 
panions with  thee. 

5  ^Look  unto  the  heavens,  and  see ; 
and  behold  the  clouds  which  are 
higher  than  thou. 

6  If  thou  sinnest,  what  doest  thou 
'against  him'?  or  if  thy  transgres- 
sions be  multiplied,  what  doest  thou 
unto  him'? 

7  'If  thou  be  righteous,  what  givest 
thou  him'?  or  what  receiveth  he  of 
thine  hand '? 

8  Thy  wickedness  may  hurt  a man 
as  thou  art  * and  thy  righteousness 
may  vrofit  the  son  of  man. 

9  By  reason  of  the  multitude  of 
oppressions  they  make  the  oppressed 
to  cry : they  cry  out  by  reason  of 
the  arm  of  the  mighty. 

10  But  none  saith,  "Where  is  God 
my  maker,  ^who  giveth  songs  in 
the  night; 

II  Who  ^teacheth  us  more  than 
the  beasts  of  the  earth,  and  maketh 
us  wiser  than  the  fowls  of  heaven  *? 
12  ^ There  they  cry,  but  none  giv- 
eth answer,  because  of  the  pride  of 
evil  men. 

13  “Surely  God  will  not  hear  vanity, 
neither  will  the  Almighty  regard  it. 
14  "=Although^  thou  sayest  thou 
shalt  not  see  him,  yet  judgment  is 
before  him;  therefore  ^ trust  thou 
in  him. 

15  But  now,  because  it  is  not  so,  ^he 
hath  '’visited  in  his  anger  ; yet  “he 
knoweth  it  not  in  great  extremity : 

16  ‘’Therefore  doth  Job  open  his 
mouth  in  vain ; he  multiplieth 
words  without  knowledge.

to  my  Maker. 

4 For  truly  my  words  shall  not  be 
false:  he  that  is  perfect  in  know- 
ledge is  with  thee. 

5 Behold,  God  is  mighty,  and  de- 
spiseth  not  any:  ^he  is  mighty  in 
strength  and  ^wisdom. 

6 He  preserveth  not  the  life  of 
the  wicked:  but  giveth  right  to 
the  ^poor. 

7 ''He  withdraweth  not  his  eyes 
from  the  righteous : but ‘’with  kings 
are  they  on  the  throne ; yea,  he 
doth  establish  them  for  ever,  and 
they  are  exalted. 

8 And  "if  they  be  bound  in  fetters, 
and  be  holden  in  cords  of  afflic- 
tion ; 

9 Then  he  sheweth  them  their 
work,  and  their  transgressions  that 
they  have  exceeded. 

10  *He  openeth  also  their  ear  to 
discipline,  and  commandeth  that 
they  return  from  iniquity. 

11  If  they  obey  and  serve  him, 
they  shall  * spend  their  days  in 
prosperity,  and  their  years  in  pleas- 
ures. 

1 2 But  if  they  obey  not,  ® they 
shall  perish  by  the  sword,  and  they 
shall  die  without  knowledge. 

13  But  the  hypocrites  in  heart 
“heap  up  wrath : they  cry  not  when 
he  bindeth  them. 

14  ®They  die  in  youth,  and  their 
life  is  among  the  ’unclean. 

15  He  delivereth  the  ®poor  in  his 
affliction,  and  openeth  their  ears  in 
oppression. 

16  Even  so  would  he  have  removed 
thee  out  of  the  strait  into  a broad 
place,  where  there  is  no  straitness ; 
and  *that^  which  should  be  set  on 
thy  table  should  be  full  of  'fatness. 

17  But  thou  hast  fulfilled  the 
judgment  of  the  wicked : ^judgment 
and  justice  take  hold  on  thee. 

18  Because  there  is  wrajh.,  beware 
lest  he  take  thee  away  with  his 
stroke : then  ^a  great  ransom  can- 
not ^deliver  thee.

than  affliction.

25  Every  man  may  see  it ; man  may 
behold  it  afar  off. 

26  Behold,  God  is  great,  and  we 
^know  him  not,  ‘'neither  can  the 
number  of  his  years  be  searched 
out. 

27  For  he-''maketh  small  the  drops 
of  water : they  pour  down  rain  ac- 
cording to  the  vapour  thereof : 

28  '‘Which  the  clouds  do  drop  and 
distil  upon  man  abundantly. 

29  Also  can  any  understand  the 
spreadings  of  the  clouds,  or  the 
noise  of  his  tabernacle'? 

30  Behold,  he  ‘spreadeth  his  light 
upon  it,  and  covereth  ^the  bottom 
of  the  sea. 

31  For  by  them  judgeth  he  the 

§eople;  he  giveth  meat  in  abun- 
ance. 

32  With  clouds  he  covereth  the 
light ; and  commandeth  it  not  to 
shine  by  the  cloud  that  cometh 
betwixt. 

33  ^The  noise  thereof  sheweth 
concerning  it,  the  cattle  also  con- 
cerning ^the  vapour.

1 Qod  it  to  be  feared  because  of  his  great  works.  15  Bit 
wisdom,  is  unsearchable  in  them. 

AT  this  also  my  heart  trembleth, 
and  is  moved  out  of  his  place. 

2 ®Hear  attentively  the  noise  of  his 
voice,  and  the  sound  that  goeth  out 
of  his  mouth. 

3 He  directeth  it  under  the  whole 
heaven,  and  his  ® lightning  unto  the 
’ends  of  the -earth. 

4 After  it  ^a  voice  roareth:  he 
thundereth  with  the  voice  of  his 
excellency;  and  he  will  not  stay 
them  when  his  voice  is  heard. 

5 God  thundereth  marvellously 
with  his  voice  ; ^great  things  doeth 
he,  which  we  cannot  comprehend. 

6 For  he  saith  to  the  snow,  Be  thou 
on  the  earth ; ® likewise  to  the  small 
rain,  and  to  the  great  rain  of  his 
strength. 

7 He  sealeth  up  the  hand  of  every 
man;  that  all  men  may  know  his 
work. 

8 Then  the  beasts  go  into  dens, 
and  remain  in  their  places. 

9 ^Out  of  the  south  cometh  the

stand  still,  and  ^consider  the  won- 
drous works  of  God. 

15  Dost  thou  know  when  God  dis- 
posed them,  and  caused  the  light

ings  of  the  clouds,  the  wondrous 
works  of  him  which  is  perfect  in 
knowledge '? 

17  How  thy  garments  are  warm, 
when  he  quieteth  the  earth  by  the 
south  wind  'I 

1 8 Hast  thou  with  him  spread  out

19  Teach  us  what  we  shall  say 
unto  him ; for  we  cannot  order  our 
speech  by  reason  of  darkness. 

20  Shall  it  be  told  him  that  I 
speak'?  if  a man  speak,  surely  he 
shall  be  swallowed  up. 

2 1 And  now  men  see  not  the  bright 
light  which  is  in  the  clouds  : but  the 
wind  passeth,  and  cleanseth  them. 

22  ^Fair  weather  cometh  out  of

majesty. 

23  Touching  the  Almighty,  ’"we 
cannot  find  him  out : "Ae  is  excel- 
lent in  power,  and  in  judgment, 
and  in  plenty  of  justice:  he  will 
not  afflict.

earth,  and  warmeth  them  in  dust, 

15  And  forgetteth  that  the  foot 
may  crush  them,  or  that  the  wild 
beast  may  break  them. 

16  She  is  ^hardened  against  her 
young  ones,  as  though  they  were 
not  her’s : her  labour  is  in  vain 
without  fear ; 

1 7 Because  God  hath  deprived  her 
of  wisdom,  neither  hath  he  * im- 
parted to  her  understanding. 

18  What  time  she  lifteth  up  her- 
self on  high,  she  scorneth  the  horse 
and  his  rider. 

1 9 Hast  thou  given  the  horse

20  Canst  thou  make  him  afraid

rejoiceth  in  his  strength  : “he  goeth 
on  to  meet  ^the  armed  men.

affrighted  ; neither  turneth  he  back 
from  the  sword. 

23  The  quiver  rattleth  against 
him,  the  glittering  spear  and  the 
shield. 

24  He  swalloweth  the  ground  with 
fierceness  and  rage  : neither  believ- 
eth  he  that  it  is  the  sound  of  the 
trunmet. 

25  He  saith  among  the  trumpets, 
Ha,  ha ; and  he  smelleth  the  battle 
afar  off,  the  thunder  of  the  captains, 
and  the  shouting.

and  the  strong  place. 

29  From  thence  she  seeketh  the 
prey,  uTid  her  eyes  behold  afar  off.

CHAPTEB  40. 

1 Job  humbleth  hirmelf  to  God.  6 God  stirreth  hint  up  to 
shew  his  righteousness,  power,  cmd  wisdom.  15  Of  the 
behemoth. 

Moreover  the  lord  answered 
Job,  and  said, 

2  Shall  he  that  ^contendeth  with 
the  Almighty  instruct  him  1 he  that 
reproveth  God,  let  him  answer  it. 

3  H Then  Job  answered  the  Lord, 
and  said, 

4  “Behold,  I am  vile  ; what  shall 
I answer  thee'?  will  lay  mine 
hand  upon  my  mouth. 

5  Once  have  I spoken ; but  I will 
not  answer : yea,  twice ; but  I will 
proceed  no  further. 

6  ^ “Then  answered  the  Lord  unto 
Job  out  of  the  whirlwind,  and  said, 
7 -^Gird  up  thy  loins  now  like  a 
man : ^ I will  demand  of  thee,  and 
declare  thou  unto  me. 

8  *Wilt  thou  also  disannul  my 
judgment'?  wilt  thou  condemn  me, 
that  thou  mayest  be  righteous'? 

9  Hast  thou  an  arm  like  God'?  or 
canst  thou  thunder  with  ^a  voice 
like  him  1 

10  "‘Deck  thyself  now  with  majesty 
and  excellency ; and  array  thyself 
with  glory  and  beauty. 

11  Cast  abroad  the  rage  of  thy 
wrath : and  behold  every  one  that 
is  proud,  and  abase  him. 

1 2  Look  on  every  one  that  is 
” proud,  and  bring  him  low;  and 
tread  down  the  wicked  in  their  place. 

1 3  Hide  them  in  the  dust  together ; 
and  bind  their  faces  in  secret. 

14  Then  will  I also  confess  unto 
thee  that  thine  own  right  hand  can 
save  thee. 

15  ^ Behold  now  ®be-h6-mbth, 
which  I made  with  thee ; he  eateth 
grass  as  an  ox. 

16  Lo  now^  his  strength  is  in  his 
loins,  and  his  force  is  in  the  navel 
of  his  belly. 

17  ®He  moveth  his  tail  like  a ce- 
dar: the  sinews  of  his  stones  are 
wrapped  together. 

18  His  bones  are  as  strong  pieces 
of  brass ; his  bones  are  like  bars  of 
iron. 

19  He  is  the  chief  of  the  ways  of 
God : he  that  made  him  can  make 
his  sword  to  approach  unto  him.  ^ 

20  Surely  the  mountains  ^ bring 
him  forth  food,  where  all  the  beasts 
of  the  field  play. 

21  He  lieth  under  the  shady  trees, 
in  the  covert  of  the  reed,  and  fens. 
22  The  shady  trees  cover  him  with 
their  shadow;  the  willows  of  the

24  His  heart  is  as  firm  as  a stone ; 
yea,  as  hard  as  a piece  of  the  nether

25  When  he  raiseth  up  himself,  the

he  spreadeth  sharp  pointed  things

31  He  maketh  the  deep  to  boil  like

of  ointment. 

32  He  maketh  a path  to  shine 
after  him;  one  would  think  the 
deep  to  be  hoary. 

33  Upon  earth  there  is  not  his

he  is  a king  over  all  the  children

CHAPTER  42. 

1 Job  mhmitteth  himself  unto  God.  7 God,  preferring  Job's 

cause,  accepteth  him.  10  He  magnifieth  cmd  blesseth  Job. 

16  Job's  age  and  death. 

Then  Job  answered  the  Lord, 
and  said, 

2  I know  that  thou  ®canst  do  every 
thing,  and  that  ’ no  thought  can  be 
withholden  from  thee. 

3  •'’Who  is  he  that  hideth  counsel 
without  knowledge  *?  therefore  have 
I uttered  that  I understood  not ; 
^things  too  wonderful  for  me,  which 
I knew  not. 

4  Hear,  1 beseech  thee,  and  I will 
speak : * I will  demand  of  thee,  and 
declare  thou  unto  me. 

5  I have  heard  of  thee  by  the 
hearing  of  the  ear : but  now  mine 
eye  seeth  thee. 

6  Wherefore  I * abhor  myself,  and 
repent  in  dust  and  ashes. 

7  II  And  it  was  so,  that  after  the 
Lord  had  spoken  these  words  unto 
Job,  the  Lord  said  to  El-i-phaz  the 
Te-man-ite,  My  wrath  is  kindled 
against  thee,  and  against  thy  two 
friends : for  ye  have  not  spoken  of 
me  the  thing  that  is  right,  as  my 
servant  Job  hath. 

8  Therefore  take  unto  you  now 
* seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams,  and 
*go  to  my  servant  Job,  and  offer  uj) 
for  yourselves  a burnt  offering ; and 
my  servant  Job  shall  ”"pray  for  you ;

for  ^ him  will  I accept : lest  I deal 
with  you  after  your  folly,  in  that 
ye  have  not  spoken  of  me  the  thing 
which  is  right,  like  my  servant  Job. 

9 So  El-i-phaz  the  Te-man-ite  and 
Bil-dad  the  Shu-hite  and  Zo-phar 
the  Na-a-ma-thite  went,  and  did 
according  as  the  Lord  commanded 
them : the  Lord  also  accepted  ‘-^Job. 

10  ‘‘And  the  Lord  turned  the  cap- 
tivity of  J ob,  when  he  prayed  for  his 
friends : also  the  Lord  ^ gave  J ob 
‘twice  as  much  as  he  had  before. 

11  Then  came  there  unto  him all 
his  brethren,  and  all  his  sisters, 
and  all  they  that  had  been  of  his 
acquaintance  before,  and  did  eat 
bread  with  him  in  his  house:  and 
they  bemoaned  him,  and  comforted 
him  over  all  the  evil  that  the  Lord 
had  brought  upon  him  : every  man 
also  gave  him  a piece  of  money,  and 
every  one  an  earring  of  gold.

12  So  the  Lord  blessed  “the  latter 
end  of  Job  more  than  his  begin- 
ning : for  he  had  ‘’fourteen  thousand 
sheep,  and  six  thousand  camels,  and 
a thousand  yoke  of  oxen,  and  a thou- 
sand she  asses. 

13  ‘He  had  also  seven  sons  and 
three  daughters. 

14  And  he  called  the  name  of  the 
first,  JAmi-ma;  and  the  name  of 
the  second,  Ke-zi-a ; and  the  name 
of  the  third,  K6r-6n-hap-pueh. 

15  And  in  all  the  land  were  no 
women  found  so  fair  as  the  daugh- 
ters of  Job  : and  their  father  gave 
them  inheritance  among  their  bre- 
thren. 

16  After  this  ^ lived  Job  an  hun- 
dred and  forty  years,  and  saw  his 
sons,  and  his  sons’  sons,  even  four 
generations. 

17  So  Job  died,  being  old  and  *full 
of  days.

1 The  happiness  of  the  godly.  4 The  unhappiness  of 
the  wnvgodly. 

Blessed  ^is  the  man  that  walk- 
eth  not  in  the  counsel  of  the 
^ ungodly,  nor  standeth  in  the  way 
of  sinners,  ‘‘nor  sitteth  in  the  seat 
of  the  scornful. 

2  But  ‘his  delight  is  in  the  law  of 
the  Lord  : ^ and  in  his  law  doth  he 
meditate  day  and  night. 

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a tree 
‘planted  by  the  rivers  of  water,  that 
bringeth  forth  his  fruit  in  his  season  • 
his  leaf  also  shall  not  ® wither  ; and 
whatsoever  he  doeth  shall  ‘prosper. 
4 The  ungodly  are  not  so : but 
are  "‘like  the  chaff  which  the  wind 
driveth  away. 

5 Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not 
stand  in  the  judgment,  nor  sinners

unto  my  cry,  give  ear  unto  my 
prayer,  that  goeth  ^not  out  of  feigned 
lips. 

2  Let  my  sentence  come  forth  from

Hhou  hast  tried  me,  and  shalt  find 
nothing:  I am  purposed  that  my 
mouth  shall  not  transgress. 

4  Concerning  the  works  of  men, 
by  the  word  of  thy  lips  I have 
kept  me  from  the  paths  of  the  de- 
stroyer. 

5  *=Hold  up  my  goings  in  thy 
paths,  that  my  footsteps  ’slip  not. 
6 have  called  upon  thee,  for 
thou  wilt  hear  me,  O God : incline 
thine  ear  unto  me,  and  hear  my 
speech. 

7  Shew  thy  marvellous  loving- 
kindness, O thou  ®that  savest  by 
thy  right  hand  them  which  put 
their  trust  m thee  from  those  that 
rise  up  against  them.

PSALM  18. 

David  praiseth  God  for  his  manifold  and  marvelloujs 
blessings. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A Psalm,  of  D^vld,  *the 
servant  of  the  Lord,  who  spake  unto  the  Lord 
the  words  of  tthis  song  in  the  day  that  the 
Lord  delivered  him  from  the  hand  of  all  his 
enemies,  and  from  the  hand  of  S^ul : And  he 
said, 

I  « WILL  love  thee,  O Loed,  my 
strength. 

2  The  Loed  is  my  rock,  and  my 
fortress,  and  my  deliverer ; my 
God,  ‘‘my  strength,  -^in  whom  I will 
trust ; my  buckler,  and  the  horn  of 
my  salvation,  and  my  high  tower. 

3  I will  call  upon  the  Loed,  ^who 
is  worthy  to  be  praised : so  shall 
I be  saved  from  mine  enemies. 

4  '"The  sorrows  of  death  compassed 
me,  and  the  floods  of  ^ungodly  men 
made  me  afraid. 

5  The  ® sorrows  of  hell  compassed 
me  about : the  snares  of  death  pre- 
vented me. 

6  In  my  distress  I called  i^on  the 
Loed,  and  cried  unto  my  God : he 
heard  my  voice  out  of  his  temple, 
and  my  cry  came  before  him,  even 
into  his  ears. 

7  ”*Then  the  earth  shook  and  trem- 
bled ; the  foundations  also  of  the 
hills  moved  and  were  shaken,  be- 
cause he  was  wroth. 

8  There  went  up  a smoke  ®out  of 
his  nostrils,  and  fire  out  of  his 
mouth  devoured : coals  were  kin- 
dled by  it. 

9  ”He  bowed  the  heavens  also, 
and  came  down : and  darkness  was 
under  his  feet. 

10  "And  he  rode  upon  a ch6r-ub.

and  did  fly : yea,  “he  did  fly  upon 
the  wings  of  the  wind. 

11  He  made  darkness  his  secret 
place ; his  pavilion  round  about 
him  were  dark  waters  and  thick 
clouds  of  the  skies. 

12  -^At  the  brightness  that  was 
before  him  his  thick  clouds  passed, 
hail  stones  and  coals  of  fire. 

13  The  Lord  also  thundered  in 
the  heavens,  and  the  Highest  gave 

* his  voice ; hail  stones  and  coals  of 
fire. 

• 14  ""Yea,  he  sent  out  his  arrows, 
and  scattered  them;  and  he  shot 
out  lightnings,  and  discomfited 
them. 

15  ”Then  the  channels  of  waters 
were  seen,  and  the  foundations  of 
the  world  were  discovered  at  thy 
rebuke,  O Lord,  at  the  blast  of  the 
breath  of  thy  nostrils. 

16  ®He  sent  from  above,  he  took 
me,  he  drew  me  out  of  ^ many 
waters. 

17  He  delivered  me  from  my 
strong  enemy,  and  from  them 
which  hated  me:  for  they  were 
too  strong  for  me. 

18  They  prevented  me  in  the  day 
of  my  calamity : but  the  Lord  was 
my  stay. 

19  «He  brought  me  forth  also  into 
a large  place ; he  delivered  me,  be- 
cause he  delighted  in  me. 

20  ’’The  Lord  rewarded  me  ac- 
cording to  my  righteousness;  ac- 
cording to  the  cleanness  of  my 
hands  hath  he  recompensed  me. 

21  For  I have  kept  the  ways  of 
the  Lord,  and  have  not  wickedly 
departed  from  my  God. 

22  For  all  his  judgments  were  be- 
fore me,  and  I did  not  put  away 
his  statutes  from  me. 

23  1 was  also  upright  ® before  him, 
and  I kept  myself  from  mine  iniq- 
uity. 

24  Therefore  hath  the  Lord  re- 
compensed me  according  to  my 
righteousness,  according  to  the 
cleanness  of  my  hands  ® in  his  eye- 
sight. 

25  ^With  the  merciful  thou  wilt 
shew  thyself  merciful ; with  an  up-

upright ; 

26  With  the  pure  thou  wilt  shew 
thyself  pure ; and  “with  the  froward 
thou  wilt  ® shew  thyself  froward.

34  He  teacheth  my  hands  to  war,

35  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the

and  ^thy  gentleness  hath  made  me 
great. 

36  Thou  hast  enlarged  my^  steps

slip. 

37  I have  pursued  mine  enemies,

turn  again  till  they  were  consumed. 

38  I have  wounded  them  that  they 
were  not  able  to  rise : they  are  fallen

39  For  thou  hast  girded  me  with 
strength  unto  the  battle : thou  hast

the  ends  of  it : and  there  is  nothing 
hid  from  the  heat  thereof. 

7  The  ®law  of  the  Lord  is  perfect, 

^ converting  the  soul : the  testimony 
of  the  Lord  is  sure,  making  wise 
the  simple. 

8  The  statutes  of  the  Lord  are 
right,  rejoicing  the  heart : the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  is  pure,  en- 
lightening the  eyes. 

9  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  clean, 
enduring  for  ever:  the  judgments

eous altogether. 

10  More  to  be  desired  are  they 
than  gold,  yea,  than  much  fine 
gold : sweeter  also  than  honey  and

ant warned  : and  in  keeping  of 
them  there  is  great  reward. 

12  Who  can  understand  his  errors'? 
cleanse  thou  me  from  secret  faults. 

13  Keep  back  thy  servant  also  from 
presumptuous  sins;  let  them  not 
nave  dominion  over  me : then  shall 
I be  upright,  and  I shall  be  inno- 
cent from  ®the  great  transgression.

thou  so  far  °from  helping  me,  and 
from  the  words  of  my  roaring*? 

2  O my  God,  I cry  in  the  daytime, 
but  thou  hearest  not;  and  in  the 
night  season,  and  ®am  not  silent. 
3 But  thou  art  holy,  0 thou  that 
inhabitest  the  praises  of  Is-ra-el. 

4  Our  fathers  trusted  in  thee : 
they  trusted,  and  thou  didst  de- 
liver them. 

5  They  cried  unto  thee,  and  were 
delivered : they  trusted  in  thee,  and 
were  not  confounded. 

6  But  I am  a worm,  and  no  man ; 
a reproach  of  men,  and  despised  of 
the  people. 

7  ^All  they  that  see  me  laugh  me 
to  scorn:  they  shoot  out  the  lip, 
they  shake  the  head,  saying, 

8  ®He  trusted  on  the  Lord  that  he 
would  deliver  him:  let  him  deliver 
him,  ^seeing  he  delighted  in  him. 

9  But  thou  art  he  that  took  me  out 
of  the  womb:  thou  Midst  make  me 
hope  ivhen  I was  upon  my  mother’s 
breasts. 

10  I was  cast  upon  thee  from  the 
womb:  ^thou  art  my  God  from  my 
mother’s  belly. 

1 1  Be  not  far  from  me ; for  trouble 
is  near  : for  there  is  ^none  to  help. 

12  ^Many  bulls  have  compassed 
me:  strong  bulls  of  Ba-shan  have 
beset  me  round. 

13 /They  ^ gaped  upon  me  with 
their  mouths,  as  a ravening  and  a 
roaring  lion. 

14  I am  poured  out  like  water, 
“and  all  my  b9nes  are  ^ out  of  joint: 
my  heart  is  like  wax ; it  is  melted 
in  the  midst  of  my  bowels. 

15  ^'My  strength  is  dried  up  like  a 
potsherd;  and  “my  tongue  cleave th 
to  my  jaws ; and  thou  hast  brought 
me  into  the  dust  of  death. 

16  For  dogs  have  compassed  me: 
the  assembly  of  the  wicked  have  in- 
closed me : ‘'they  pierced  my  hands 
and  my  feet. 

17  I may  tell  all  my  bones:  ^'they 
look  and  stare  upon  me. 

18  '^They  part  my  garments  a- 


mong them,  and  cast  lots  upon  my 
vesture. 

19  But  be  not  thou  far  from  me, 
O Lord  : O my  strength,  haste  thee 
to  help  me. 

20  Deliver  rny  soul  from  the  sword ; 
“my  ‘^  darling  ^from  the  power  of  the 
dog. 

2 1 * Save  me  from  the  lion’s  mouth : 
‘'for  thou  hast  heard  me  from  the 
horns  of  the  unicorns. 

22  ‘*1  will  declare  thy  name  unto 
^my  brethren : in  the  midst  of  the 
congregation  will  I praise  thee. 

23  S' Ye  that  fear  the  Lord,  praise 
him;  all  ye  the  seed  of  Ja-cOb, 
glorify  him;  and  fear  him,  all  ye 
the  seed  of  Is-ra-el. 

24  For  he  hath  not  despised  nor 
abhorred  the  affliction  of  the  af- 
flicted ; neither  hath  he  hid  his 
face  from  him ; but  when  he  cried 
unto  him,  he  heard. 

25  *My  praise  shall  he  of  thee  in 
the  great  congregation:  will  pay 
my  vows  before  them  that  fear 
him. 

26  The  meek  shall  eat  and  be 
satisfied : they  shall  praise  the 
Lord  that  seek  him:  your  heart 
shall  live  for  ever. 

27  All  the  ends  of  the  world  shall 
remember  and  turn  unto  the  Lord  : 
and  all  the  kindreds  of  the  nations 
shall  worship  before  thee. 

28  "‘For  the  kingdom  is  the  Lord’s  : 
and  he  is  the  governor  among  the 
nations. 

29  “All  they  that  he  fat  upon 
earth  shall  eat  and  worship:  ‘’all 
they  that  go  down  to  the  dust  shall 
bow  before  him : and  none  can  keep 
alive  his  own  soul. 

30  A seed  shall  serve  him ; «it  shall 
be.accounted  to  the  Lord  for  a gen- 
eration. 

31  “They  shall  come,  and  shall  de- 
clare his  righteousness  unto  a people 
that  shall  be  born,  that  he  hath  done 
this.

A Psalm,  of  Da-vid. 

The  Lord  is  *my  light  and  ^my 
salvation  ; whom  shall  I fearl 
’"the  Lord  is  the  strength  of  my 
life;  of  whom  shall  I be  afraid  1 
2 When  the  wicked,  even  mine 
enemies  and  my  foes,  ^came  upon 
me  to  eat  up  my  flesh,  they  stum- 
bled and  fell. 

3  Though  an  host  should  encamp 
against  me,  my  heart  shall  not  fear : 
though  war  should  rise  against  me, 
in  this  will  I be  confident. 

4  ^One  thing  have  I desired  of  the 
Lord,  that  will  I seek  after ; that 
I may  dwell  in  the  house  9f  the 
Lord  all  the  days  of  my  life,  to 
behold  ®the\  beauty  of  the  Lord, 
and  to  enquire  in  his  temple. 

5  For  Gn  the  time  of  trouble  he 
shall  hide  me  in  his  pavilion ; in 
the  secret  of  his  tabernacle  shall  he 
hide  me ; he  shall  set  me  up  upon 
a rock. 

6  And  now  shall  mine  head  be 
lifted  up  above  mine  enemies  round 
about  me : therefore  will  I offer  in 
his  tabernacle  sacrifices/ of  joy  ; I 
will  sing,  yea,  I will  sing  praises 
unto  the  Lord. 

7  Hear,  O Lord,  when  I cry  with 
my  voice : have  mercy  also  upon 
me,  and  answer  me. 

8  ^When  thou  saidst,  Seek  ye  my

1 David  prayeth  earnestly  against  his  enemies.  6 He

A Psalm  of  Da-vid.

^lest,  ^/  thou  be  silent  to  me,  I be-

I lift  up  my  hands  "toward®  thy 
holy  oracle. 

3  Draw  me  not  away  with  the 
wicked,  and  with  the  workers  of 
iniquity,  "which  speak  peace  to 
their  neighbours,  but  mischief  is 
in  their  hearts. 

4  ^Give  them  according  to  their 
deeds,  and  according  to  the  wicked- 
ness of  their  endeavours : give  them 
after  the  work  of  their  hands  ; ren- 
der to  them  their  desert. 

5  Because  ’‘they  regard  not  the 
works  of  the  Lord,  nor  the  opera- 
tion of  his  hands,  he  shall  destroy 
them,  and  not  build  them  up. 

6  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  because 
he  hath  heard  the  voice  of  my 
supplications. 

7  The  Lord  is  my  strength  and 
my  shield ; my  heart  trusted  in 
him,  and  I am  helped : therefore 
my  heart  greatly  rejoiceth ; and 
with  my  song  will  I praise  him.

2  O Lord  my  God,  I cried  unto 
thee,  and  thou  hast  healed  me. 

3  O Lord,  ’’thou  hast  brought  up 
my  soul  from  the  grave  : thou  hast

down  to  the  pit.

a moment ; “in  his  favour  is  life : 
weeping  may  endure  ^for  a night, 
but  ^joy  cometh  in  the  morning. 

6  And  in  my  prosperity  I said,  I 
shall  never  be  moved. 

7  Lord,  by  thy  favour  thou  hast 
^made  my  mountain  to  stand  strong 
Hhou  didst  hide  thy  face,  and  I was 
troubled. 

8 I cried  to  thee,  O Lord;  and 
unto  the  Lord  I made  supplica

To  the  chief  Musician,  A Psalm  of  Da-vid. 

N ‘^thee,  O Lord,  do  I put  my 
_ trust;  let  me  never  be  ashamed: 
deliver  me  in  thy  righteousness. 

2 -^Bow  down  thine  ear  to  me ; 
deliver  me  speedily : be  thou  ®my 
strong  rock,  for  an  house  of  defence 
to  save  me. 

3 S' For  thou  art  my  rock  and  my 
fortress ; therefore  'Tor  thy  name’s 
sake  lead  me,  and  guide  me. 

4 Pull  me  out  of  the  net  that  they 
have  laid  privily  for  me : for  thou 
art  my  strength. 

5 'Into  thine  hand  I commit  my 
spirit : thou  hast  redeemed  me,  O 
Lord  God  of  truth. 

6 I have  hated  them  ’“that  regard 
lying  vanities  : but  I trust  in  the 
Lord. 

7 I will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  thy 
mercy : for  thou  hast  considered 
my  trouble ; thou  hast  “known  my 
soul  in  adversities ; 

8 And  hast  not  «shut  me  up  into 
the  hand  of  the  enemy : thou  hast 
set  my  feet  in  a large  room. 

9 Have  mercy  upon  me,  O Lord, 
for  I am  in  trouble : *mine  eye  is 
consumed  with  grief,  yea,  my  soul 
and  my  belly. 

10  For  my  life  is  spent  with  grief, 
and  my  years  with  sighing:  my 
strength  faileth  because  of  mine 
iniquity,  and  my  bones  are  con- 
sumed. 

11  *I  was  a reproach  among  all 
mine  enemies,  but  especially  a- 
mong  my  neighbours,  and  a fear 
to  mine  acquaintance : They  that 
did  see  me  without  fled  from  me. 

12  “I  am  forgotten  as  a dead  man 
out  of  mind : I am  like  ^a  broken 
vessel. 

13  "For  I have  heard  the  slander 
of  many : ‘'fear  was  on  every  side : 
while  they  "took  counsel  together 
against  me,  they  devised  to  take 
away  my  life. 

14  But  I trusted  in  thee,  O Lord  ; 
I said.  Thou  art  my  God.

let  them  be  turned  back  and  brought

1 The  grievous  estate  of  the  wicked.  5 The  excellency

To  the  chief  Musician,  A Psalm  of  Da-vid  the 
servant  of  the  Lord. 

The  transgression  of  the  wicked 
saith  within  my  heart,  that 
Hhere  is  no  fear  of  God  before  his 
eyes. 

2  For  he  flattereth  himself  in  his 
own  eyes,  ® until  his  iniquity  be 
found  to  be  hateful. 

3  The  words  of  his  mouth  are  in- 
iquity and  deceit : ®he  hath  left  off 
to  be  wise,  and  to  do  good. 

4  -^He  deviseth  '^rnischief  upon  his 
bed ; he  setteth  himself  ^in  a way 
that  is  not  good ; he  abhorreth  not 
evil. 

5  Thy  mercy,  0 Lord,  is  in  the 
heavens  ; and  thy  faithfulness 
reacheth  unto  the  clouds. 

6  Thy  righteousness  is  like  ®the 
great  mountains ; * thy  judgments 
are  a great  deep : O Lord,  thou 
preservest  man  and  beast. 

7  How  ^excellent  is  thy  loving- 
kindness, O God ! therefore  the 
children  of  men  ‘put  their  trust 
under  the  shadow  of  thy  wings. 

8  "They  shall  be  ‘‘abundantly  satis- 
fied with  the  fatness  of  thy  house ; 
and  thou  shalt  make  them  drink  of 
“the  river  of  thy  pleasures. 

9  /For  with  thee  is  the  fountain 
of  life : ® in  thy  light  shall  we  see 
light. 

10  O ® continue  thy  lovingkindness 
unto  them  that  know  thee;  and 
thy  righteousness  to  the  upright 
in  heart. 

1 1  Let  not  the  foot  of  pride  come 
against  me,  and  let  not  the  hand  of 
the  wicked  remove  me. 

12  There  are  the  workers  of  in-

^a  vain  shew:  surely  they  are  dis-

1 The  benefit  of  confidence  in  God.  6 Obedience  is  the

his  prayer. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A Psalm  of  DaAvId. 

I  'WAITED*  patiently  for  the 
Lord:  and  he  inclined  unto 
me,  and  heard  my  cry. 

2  He  brought  me  up  also  out  of 
^an  horrible  pit,  out  of  “the  miry 
clay,  and  *set  my  foot  upon  a rock, 
and  established  my  goings. 

3  2' And  he  hath  put  a new  song 
in  my  mouth,  even  praise  unto  our 
God : many  shall  see  it,  and  fear, 
and  shall  trust  in  the  Lord. 

4  * Blessed  is  that  man  that  mak- 
eth  the  Lord  his  trust,  and  re- 
specteth  not  the  proud,  nor  such 
as  turn  aside  to  lies. 

5  "Many,  O Lord  my  God,  are  thy 
wonderful  works  which  thou  hast 
done,  ‘'and  thy  thoughts  which  are 
to  us-ward : they  cannot  be  reck- 
oned up  in  order  unto  thee : if  I 
would  declare  and  speak  of  them, 
they  are  more  than  can  be  num- 
bered. 

6  Sacrifice  and  offering  thou  didst 
not  desire ; mine  ears  hast  thou 
® wened : burnt  offering  and  sin 
offering  hast  thou  not  required. 

7  Then  said  I,  Lo,  I come : in  the

of  me,

The  chnrch!s  confidence. 

aOD  is  our  refuge  and  strength, 
“a  very  present  help  in  trouble. 

2 Therefore  will  not  we  fear, 
though  the  earth  be  removed,  and 
though  the  mountains  be  carried 
into  ^the  midst  of  the  sea; 

3 “ Though  the  waters  thereof  roar 
and  be  troubled,  though  the  moun- 
tains shake  with  the  swelling  there- 
of. Se-lah. 

4 There  is  ^a  river,  the  streapos 
whereof  shall  make  glad  ^the  city 
of  God,  the  holy  'place  of  the  taber- 
nacles of  the  most  High. 

5 God  is  qn  the  midst  of  her ; she 
shall  not  be  moved : God  shall  help 
her,  ^and  that  right  early. 

6 *The  heathen  raged,  the  king- 
doms were  moved  : he  uttered  his 
voice,  "‘the  earth  melted. 

7 The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with  us ; 
the  God  of  Ja^6b  is  ^our  refuge. 
Sedah. 

8 ®Come,  behold  the  works  of  the 
Lord,  what  desolations  he  hath 
made  in  the  earth.  ■ 

9 *He  maketh  wars  to  cease  unto 
the  end  of  the  earth ; “he  breaketh 
the  bow,  and  cuttetH  the  spear  in 
sunder ; "'he  burneth  the  chariot  in 
the  fire. 

10  Be  still,  and  know  that  I am 
God : "I  will  be  exalted  among  the 
heathen,  I will  be  exalted  in  the 
earth. 

1 1 The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with  us ;

O^CLAP  your  hands,  all  ye  peo- 
ple ; shout  unto  God  with  the 
voice  of  triumph. 

2 For  the  Lord  most  high  is  ^ter^

PSALM  48. 

The  ornamente  and  the  privileget  of  the  church. 

A Song  and  Psalm  i for  the  sons  of  Ko^rih. 

Great  is  the  Lord,  and  greatly 
to  be  praised  *in  the  city  of 
our  God,  in  the  •''mountain  of  his 
holiness. 

2  '"Beautiful  for  situation,  the  joy 
of  the  whole  earth,  is  mount  Zi-On, 
^on  the  sides  of  the  north, ' the  city 
of  the  great  King. 

3  God  is  known  in  her  palaces  for 
a refuge. 

4  For,  lo,  ”the  kings  were  assem- 
bled, they  passed  by  together. 

5  They  saw  it,  and  so  they  mar- 
velled; they  were  troubled,  and 
hasted  away. 

6  Fear  ^took  hold  upon  them 
there,  and  pain,  as  of  a woman 
in  travail. 

7  Thou/breakest  the  ships  of  Tar- 
shish  *with  an  east  wind. 

8  As  we  have  heard,  so  have  we 
seen  in  the  city  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  in  the  city  of  our  God : God 
will  “establish  it  for  ever.  Sedah. 

9  We  have  thought  of  ''thy  loving- 
kindness, O God,  in  the  midst  of 
thy  temple. 

10  According  to  “thy  name,  O God, 
so  is  thy  praise  unto  the  ends  of 
the  earth : thy  right  hand  is  full 
of  righteousness. 

1 1  Let  mount  Zi-5n  rejoice,  let  the 
daughters  of  Ju-dah  be  glad,  be- 
cause of  thy  judgments. 

1 2  Walk  about  Zi-On,  and  go  round 
about  her : tell  the  towers  thereof. 

13  ®Mark  ye  well  her  bulwarks, 
^consider  her  palaces;  that  ye  may 
tell  it  to  the  generation  following. 

14  For  this  God  is  our  God  for 
ever  and  ever : he  will  be  our  guide 
even  unto  death. 

PSALM  49. 

An  earnett  persuasion  to  build  the  faith  on  God, 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A Psalm  3 for  the  sons 
of  Ko^rah. 

Hear  this,  all  ye  people;  give 
ear,  all  ye  inhabitants  of  the 
world : 

2 Both  low  and  high,  rich  and 
poor,  together. 

3 My  mouth  shall  speak  of  wis- 
dom; and  the  meditation  of  my 
heart  shall  be  of  understanding. 
4^1  will  incline  mine  ear  to  a 
parable:  I will  open  my  dark  say- 
ing upon  the  harp. 

6  Wherefore  should  I fear  in  the 


days  of  evil,  when  the  iniquity  of 
my  heels  shall  compass  me  about? 

6 They  that  '’trust  in  their  wealth, 
and  boast  themselves  in  the  multi- 
tude of  their  riches ; 

7 None  of  them  can  by  any  means 
redeem  his  brother,  nor  ®give  to 
God  a ransom  for  him : 

8 (For/ the  redemption  of  their  soul 
is  precious,  and  it  ceaseth  for  ever :) 

9 That  he  should  still  live  for  ever, 
and  ^not  see  corruption. 

10  For  he  seeth  that  *wise  men 
die,  likewise  the  fool  and  the  brut- 
ish person  perish,  ”"and  leave  their 
wealth  to  others. 

1 1 Their  inward  thought  is,  that 
their  houses  shall  continue  for  ever, 
and  their  dwelling  places  ^to  all 
generations ; they  "call  their  lands 
after  their  own  names. 

12  Nevertheless  man  being  in 
honour  abideth  not : he  is  like 
the  beasts  that  perish. 

13  This  their  way  is  their  ®follj^: 
yet  their  posterity  ® approve  their 
sayings.  Sedah. 

14  Like  sheep  they  are  laid  in 
the  grave ; death  shall  feed  on 
thern;  and  'the  upright  shall  have 
dominion  over  them  in  the  morn- 
ing; *and  their  ^beauty  shall  con- 
sume ® in  the  grave  from  their 
dwelling. 

15  But  God  *will  redeem  my  soul 
®from  the  power  of  ’the  grave;  for 
he  shall  receive  me.  Sedah. 

1 6 Be  not  thou  afraid  when  one 
is  made  rich,  when  the  glory  of  his 
house  is  increased ; 

17  For  when  he  dieth  he  shall 
carry  nothing  away  : his  glory  shall 
not  descend  after  him. 

18  Though  ® while  he  lived  ^he 
blessed  his  soul : and  men  will 
praise  thee,  when  thou  doest  well 
to  thyself. 

19  ^He  shall  go  to  the  generation 
of  his  fathers;  they  shall  never  see 
"light. 

20  Man  that  is  in  honour,  and  un- 
derstandeth  not,  ‘'is  like  the  beasts 
that  perish.

6 Behold,  thou  desirest  truth  in

David^s  prayer  in  distress. 


PSALM  52. 

David,  condemning  the  spitefulness  of  Doeg,  prophesieth 
his  destruction. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  Mas-chil,  A Psalm  of 
Da-vid,  *when  D6-gg  the  Eki6m-ite  came  and 
t told  Saul,  and  said  unto  him,  D^vid  is  come 
to  the  house  of  A-hIm^-16ch. 

WHY  boastest  thou  thyself  in 
mischief,  O ^mighty  man the 
goodness  of  God  endureth  continu- 

2  ‘'Thy  tongue  deviseth  mischiefs ; 
‘*like  a sharp  razor,  working  deceit- 

3  "Fhou  lovest  evil  more  than  good ; 
and  * lying  rather  than  to  speak 
righteousness.  Sedah. 

4  Thou  lovest  all  devouring  words, 
thou  deceitful  tongue. 

5  God  shall  likewise  Mestroy  thee 
for  ever,  he  shall  take  thee  away, 
and  pluck  thee  out  of  thy  dwelling 
place,  and  ^root  thee  out  of  the  land 
of  the  living.  Sedah. 

6  *The  righteous  also  shall  see,  and 
fear,  ^and  shall  laugh  at  him  : 

7  Lo,  this  is  the  man  that  made 
not  God  his  strength;  but  ” trusted 
in  the  abundance  of  his  riches. 
and  strengthened  himself  in  his 
® wickedness. 

8  But  I am  ^like  a green  olive  tree 
in  the  house  of  God : I trust  in  the 
mercy  of  God  for  ever  and  ever. 

9  I will  praise  thee  for  ever,  be 
cause  thou  hast  done  it : and  I will 
wait  on  thy  name ; '^for  it  is  good 
before  thy  saints. 

PSALM  53. 

1 David  describeth  the  corruption  of  a natural  man. 

6 He  glorieth  in  the  salvation  of  God. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon  MaAha-iath, 
Mas^hil,  A Psalm  of  Da-vId. 

The  Hool  hath  said  in  his  heart, 
There  is  no  God.  Corrupt  are 
they,  and  have  done  abominable 
iniquity:  ^ there  is  none  that  doeth 
good. 

2  God  looked  down  from  heaven 
upon  the  children  of  men,  to  see 
if  there  were  any  that  did.  under- 
stand, that  did  ^seek  God. 

3  Every  one  of  them  is  gone  back  : 
they  are  altogether  become  filthy ; 
there  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no, 
not  one. 

4  Have  the  workers  of  iniquity 
""no  knowledge'?  who  eat  up  my 
people  as  they  eat  bread : they  have 
not  called  upon  God. 

5  ^ There  "^were  they  in  great  fear, 
where  no  fear  was : for  Gpd  hath 
‘^scattered  the  bones  of  him  that 
encampeth  against  thee : thou  hast 
put  them  to  shame,  because  God 
hath  despised  them.

and  judge  me  by  thy  strength. 

2  Hear  my  prayer,  O God;  give 
ear  to  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

3  For  -^strangers  are  risen  up  a-

4  Behold,  God  is  mine  helper : ^the 
Lord  is  with  them  that  uphold  my 
soul.  . . 

5  He  shall  reward  evil  unto  ^mine 
enemies : cut  them  off  dn  thy  truth. 
6 I wiir  freely  sacrifice  unto  thee : 
I will  praise  thy  name,  O Lord;

alYE  ear  to  my  prayer,  O God; 

and  hide  not  thyself  from  my 
supplication. 

2  Attend  unto  me,  and  hear  me : 
I ’‘mourn  in  my  complaint,  and 
make  a noise ; 

3  Because  of  the  voice  of  the  enemy, 
because  of  the  oppression  of  the 
wicked : " for  they  cast  iniquity  up- 
on me,  and  in  wrath  they  hate  me. 

4  “My  heart  is  sore  pained  within 
me : and  the  terrors  of  death  are 
fallen  upon  me. 

5  Fearfulness  and  trembling  are 
come  upon  me,  and  horror  hath

6  And  I said.  Oh  that  I had  wings

thereof : deceit  and  guile  depart  not 
from  her  streets. 

12  “For  it  was  not  an  enemy  that 
reproached  me:  then  I could  have 
borne  it:  neither  was  it  he  that 
hated  me  that  did  ® magnify  him- 
self against  me ; then  I would  have 
hid  myself  from  him  : 

13  But  it  was  thou,  ^a  man  mine 
equal,  ®my  guide,  and  mine  ac- 
quaintance. 

14  ^We  took  sweet  counsel  toge- 
ther, and  -^walked  unto  the  house 
of  God  in  company. 

15  Let  death  seize  upon  them,  and 
let  them  '"go  down  quick  into  ^hell : 
for  wickedness  is  in  their  dwellings, 
and  among  them. 

16  As  for  me,  I will  call  upon  God; 
and  the  Lord  shall  save  me. 

17  ^Evening,  and  morning,  and  at 
noon,  will  I pray,  and  cry  aloud: 
and  he  shall  hear  my  voice. 

18  He  hath  delivered  my  soul  in 
peace  from  the  battle  that  was 
against  me : for  there  were  many 
with  me.

"even  he  that  abideth  of  old.  Sedah. 
^Because  they  have  no  changes, 
therefore  they  fear  not  God. 

20  He  hath  -^put  forth  his  hands 
against  such  as  «be  at  peace  with 
him  : ‘^he  hath  broken  his  covenant. 

21  '^The  words  of  his  mouth  were 
smoother  than  butter,  but  war  was 
in  his  heart : his  words  were  softer 
than  oil,  yet  were  they  drawn

Lord,  and  he  shall  sustain  thee: 
^he  shall  never  suffer  the  right-

ness, O congregation  T do  ye 
judge  uprightly,  O ye  sons  of 
men  %

3  ‘^The  wicked  are  estranged  from 
the  womb : they  go  astray  fas  soon

voice  of  charmers,  ® charming  never 
so  wisely. 

6  * Break  their  teeth,  O God,  in 
their  mouth : break  out  the  great 
teeth  of  the  young  lions,  O Lord. 
7 \ Let  them  melt  away  as  waters 
which  run  continually : when  he 
bendeth  his  how  to  shoot  his  arrows, 
let  them  be  as  cut  in  pieces.

every  one  of  them  pass  away : '^like

To  the  chief  Musician,  A Psalm  of  Da-vid. 

HEAK  my  voice,  O Godj  in  my 
prayer : preserve  my  life  from 
fear  of  the  enemy. 

2  Hide  me  from  the  secret  counsel 
of  the  wicked ; from  the  insurrec- 
tion of  the  workers  of  iniquity : 

3  Who  whet  their  tongue  like  a 
sword,  '^and  bend  their  bows  to  shoot 
their  arrows,  even  bitter  words : 

4  That  they  may  shoot  in  secret 
at  the  perfect:  suddenly  do  they 
shoot  at  him,  and  fear  not. 

5  They  encourage  themselves  in 
an  evil  matter  : they  commune  ® of 
laying  snares  privily;  ”they  say. 
Who  shall  see  them'? 

6  They  search  out  iniquities ; ®they 
accomplish  ^a  diligent  search  : both 
the  inward  thought  of  every  one  of 
them,  and  the  heart,  is  deep. 

7  But  God  shall  shoot  at  them 
with  an  arrow;  suddenly  ^ shall 
they  be  wounded. 

8  So  they  shall  make  their  own 
tongue  to  fall  upon  themselves : -^all 
that  see  them  shall  flee  away. 

9  And  all  men  shall  fear,  and  shall 
’’declare  the  work  of  God  ; for  they 
shall  wisely  consider  of  his  doing.^ 
10  The  righteous  shall  be  glad  in

To  the  chief  Musician  *upon  Sh5-sha,n-nlm, 

A Psalm  of  DaWId. 

SAVE  me,  O God ; for  -^the  waters 
are  come  in  unto  my  soul. 

2  I sink  in  ^deep  mire,  where 
there  is  no  standing : I am  come 
into  ® deep  waters,  where  the  floods 
overflow  me. 

3  I am  weary  of  my  crying : my 
throat  is  dried:  ’mine  eyes  fail 
while  I wait  for  my  God.  ^ 

4  They  that  ''hate  me  without  a 
cause  are  more  than  the  hairs  of 
mine  head : they  that  would  destroy 
me,  being  mine  enemies  wrongfully, 
are  mighty : then  I restored  that 
which  I took  not  away. 

5  O God,  thou  knowest  my  fool- 
ishness ; and  my  ^ sins  are  not  hid 
from  thee. 

6  Let  not  them  that  wait  on  thee, 
O Lord  God  of  hosts,  be  ashamed 
for  my  sake  : let  not  those  that  seek 
thee  be  confounded  for  my  sake,  O 
God  of  ls-ra-6l. 

7  Because  for  thy  sake  I have  borne 
reproach ; shame  hath  covered  my 
face. 

8  ‘'I  am  become  a stranger  unto 
my  brethren,  and  an  alien  unto  my 
mother’s  children. 

9  « For  the  zeal  of  thine  house  hath 
eaten  me  up;  and  the  reproaches 
of  them  that  reproached  thee  are 
fallen  upon  me. 

10  ’'When  I wept,  and  chastened 
my  soul  with  fasting,  that  was  to 
my  reproach. 

Ill  made  sackcloth  also  my  gar- 
ment ; * and  I became  a proverb  to 
them.  , - 

12  They  that  sit  in  the  gate  speak 
against  me ; and  “ I was  me  song  of 
the  ^drunkards. 

13  But  as  for  me,  my  prayer  is 
unto  thee,  O Lord,  ^ in  an  accept- 
able time : O God,  in  the  multitude 
of  thy  mercy  hear  me,  in  the  truth 
of  thy  salvation. 

14  Deliver  me  out  of  the  mim, 
and  let  me  not  sink:  let  me  be 
delivered  from  them  that  hate  me, 
and  out  of  the  deep  waters. 

15  Let  not  the  waterflood  overflow 
me,  neither  let  the  deep  swallow 
me  up,  and  let  not  the  pit  shut 
her  mouth  upon  me.

he  had  lifted  up  axes  upon  the  thick

6  But  now  they  break  down  the

5  *The  stouthearted  are  spoiled, 
Hhey  have  slept  their  sleep:  and

found  their  hands.  t-,  i

both  the  chariot  and  horse  are  cast 
into  a dead  sleep. 

7  Thou,  even  thou,  art  to  be  feared: 
and  who  may  stand  in  thy  sight 
when  once  thou  art  angry”?

in  God,  and  not  forget  the  works  of 
God,  hut  keep  his  commandments  : 

8 And  '’might  not  be  as  their 
fathers,  ‘'a  stubborn  and  rebellious 
generation ; a generation  '^that  set 
not  their  heart  aright,  and  whose 
spirit  was  not  stedfast  with  God. 

9 The  children  of  E-phra-im,  being 
armed,  and  ^carrying  bows,  turned 
hack  in  the  day  of  battle. 

10  ®They  kept  not  the  covenant  of 
God,  and  refused  to  walk  in  his  law ; 

1 1 And  ■'^forgat  his  works,  and  his 
wonders  that  he  had  shewed  them. 

1 2 Marvellous  things  did  he  in  the 
sight  of  their  fathers,  in  the  land  of 
E-gypt,  ^in  the  field  of  Zb-an. 

13  'He  divided  the  sea,  and  caused 
them  to  pass  through ; and  '^he  made 
the  waters  to  stand  as  an  heap. 

14  "‘In  the  daytime  also  he  led 
them  with  a cloud,  and  all  the 
night  with  a light  of  fire. 

15  ‘’He  clave  the  rocks  in  the  wil- 
derness, and  gave  them  drink  as  out 
of  the  great  depths. 

16  He  brought  streams  also  out 
of  the  rock,  and  caused  waters  to 
run  down  like  rivers. 

17  And  they  sinned  yet  more  a- 
gainst  him  by  ^provoking  the  most 
High  in  the  wilderness. 

18  And  “they  tempted  God  in  their 
heart  by  asking  meat  for  their  lust. 

19  Yea,  they  spake  against  God; 
they  said.  Can  God  ® furnish  a table 
in  the  wilderness  1 

20  * Behold,  he  smote  the  rock, 
that  the  waters  gushed  out,  and  the 
streams  overflowed;  can  he  give 
bread  alsol  can  he  provide  .flesh 
for  his  people  1 

21  Therefore  the  Lord  heard  this^ 
and  was  wroth : so  a fire  was  kin- 
dled against  Ja-ebb,  and  anger  also 
came  up  against  I§Ya-el ; 

22  Because  they  ^believed  not  in 
God,  and  trusted  not  in  his  salva- 
tion: 

23  Though  he  had  commanded  the 
clouds  from  above,  ‘’and  opened  the 
doors  of  heaven, 

24  -^And  had  rained  down  man-na 
upon  them  to  eat,  and  had  given 
them  of  the  corn  of  heaven. 

25  ''Man  did  eat  angels’  food:  he 
sent  them  meat  to  the  full. 

26  '‘He  caused  an  east  wind 
blow  in  the  heaven;  and  by  his 
power  he  brought  in  the  south 
wind. 

27  He  rained  flesh  also  upon  them 
as  dust,  and  ^feathered  fowls  like 
as  the  sand  of  the  sea : 

28  And  he  let  it  fall  in  the  midst 
of  their  camp,  round  about  their 
habitations.

incredulous  and  disobedient. 


29  “So  they  did  eat,  and  were  well 
filled : for  he  gave  them  their  own 
desire ; 

30  They  were  not  estranged  from 
their  lust.  But  while  their  meat 
was  yet  in  their  mouths, 

31  The  wrath  of  God  came  upon 
them,  and  slew  the  fattest  of  them, 
and  ^ smote  down  the  ^chosen  men 
of  Is-ra-el. 

32  For  all  this  they  sinned  still, 
and  believed  not  for  his  wondrous 
works. 

33  ^ Therefore  their  days  did  he 
consume  in  vanity,  and  their  years 
in  trouble. 

34  *When  he  slew  them,  then  they 
sought  him : and  they  returned  and 
enquired  early  after  God. 

35  And  they  remembered  that 
*God  was  their  rock,  and  the  high 
God  their  redeemer. 

36  Nevertheless  they  did  "'flatter 
him  with  their  mouth,  and  they 
lied  unto  him  with  their  tongues. 

37  For  their  heart  was  not  right 
with  him,  neither  were  they  sted- 
fast  in  his  covenant. 

38  ""But  he,  being  full  of  compas- 
sion, forgave  their  iniquity,  and 
destroyed  them  not  : yea,  many  a 
time  “turned  he  his  anger  away, 
and  did  not  stir  up  all  his  wrath. 

39  For  * he  remembered  ^ that  they 
were  but  flesh  - *a  wind  that  pass- 
eth  away,  and  cometh  not  again. 

40  How  oft  did  they  “provoke® 
him  in  the  wilderness,  and  grieve 
him  in  the  desert ! 

41  Yea,  Hhey  turned  back  and 
tempted  God,  and  limited  the  Holy 
One  of  IsYa-el. 

42  Thev  remembered  not  his  hand, 
nor  the  day  when  he  delivered  them 
’from  the  enemy. 

43  How  he  had  ^wrought  his  signs 
in  E-gypt,  and  his  wonders  in  the 
field  of  Zo-an: 

44  ^And  had  turned  their  rivers 
into  blood ; and  their  floods,  that 
they  could  not  drink. 

45  * He  sent  divers  sorts  of  flies  a- 
mong  them,  which  devoured  them  ; 
and  ^ frogs,  which  destroyed  them. 

46  “He  gave  also  their  increase 
unto  the  caterpiller,  and  their  la- 
bour unto  the  locust. 

47  “He  destroyed  their  vines  with 
bail,  and  their  sycomore  trees  with 
^frost. 

48  ^ He®  gave  up  their  cattle  also 
to  the  hail,  and  their  flocks  to  ^hot 
thunderbolts. 

49  He  cast  upon  them  the  fierce- 
ness of  his  anger,  wrath,  and  indig- 
nation, and  trouble,  by  sending  evil

54  And  he  brought  them  to  the 
border  of  his  ^sanctuary,  even  to 
this  mountain,  which  his  right  hand 
had  purchased.

anger  with  their  *high  places,  and

0GOD,  the  heathen  are  come  into 
thine  inheritance;  thy  holy 
temple  have  they  defiled  ; Hhey 
have  laid  Je-ru-sa-lem  on  heaps. 

2  *The  dead  bodies  of  thy  servants 
have  they  given  to  be  meat  unto  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven,  the  flesh  of  thy 
saints  unto  the  beasts  of  the  earth. 

3  Their  blood  have  they  shed  like 
water  round  about  J 6-ru-sa-l6m ; 
and  there  was  none  to  bury  them. 

4  We  are  become  a reproach  to  our 
neighbours,  a scorn  and  derision  to 
them  that  are  round  about  us. 

5  ®How  long,  Lord'?  wilt  thou  be 
angry  for  ever  % shall  thy  jealousy 
burn  like  fire  % 

6  «Pour  out  thy  wrath  upon  the 
heathen  that  have  ’’not  known  thee, 
and  upon  the  kingdoms  that  have 
*not  called  upon  thy  name. 

7  For  they  have  devoured  J a-c5b, 
and  laid  waste  his  dwelling  place. 

8  O remember  not  against  us  ® for- 
mer iniquities  : let  thy  tender  mer- 
cies speedily  prevent  us : for  we  are 
brought  very  low. 

9  “Help  us,  O God  of  our  salva- 
tion, for  the  glory  of  thy  name: 
and  deliver  us,  and  purge  away  our 
sins,  ^for  thy  name’s  sake. 

10  * Wherefore  should  the  heathen 
say.  Where  is  their  God'?  let  him  be 
known  among  the  heathen  in  our 
sight  by  the  revenging  of  the  blood 
oi^thy  servants  which  is  shed.

come  before  thee  ; according  to  the 
greatness  of  ®thy  power  ‘^preserve 
thou  those  that  are  appointed  to

bours sevenfold  into  their  bosom

An  exhortation  to  praise  God. 


Prayer  against  IsraeVs  enemies. 


2 Take  a psalm,  and  bring  hither 
the  timbrel,  the  pleasant  harp  with 
the  psaltery. 

3 Blow  uiD  the  trumpet  in  the 
new  moon,  in  the  time  appointed, 
on  our  solemn  feast  day.  ^ 

4 For  this  was  a statute  for  Is-ra-6l, 
and  a law  of  the  God  of  Ja-eOb. 

5 This  he  ordained  in  Jo-s6ph  for 
a testimony,  when  he  went  out 
^through  the  land  of  E-gypt:  ^ where 
I heard  a language  that  I under- 
stood not. 

6 I removed  his  shoulder  from  the 
burden:  his  hands  ^were  delivered 
from  the  pots. 

7 '^Thou  calledst  in  trouble,  and 
I delivered  thee ; G answered  thee 
in  the  secret  place  of  thunder:  I 
* proved  thee  at  the  waters  of  ®Mer- 
i-bah.  Sedah. 

8 ”Hear,  O my  people,  and  I will 
testify  unto  thee : O ls-ra-6l,  if  thou 
wilt  hearken  unto  me ; 

^ 9 There  shall  no  ^ strange  god  be 
in  thee ; neither  shalt  thou  worship 
any  strange  god. 

10  ’‘I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which 
brought  thee  out  of  the  land  of 
E-gypt:  * open  thy  mouth  wide,  and 
I will  fill  it. 

11  But  my  people  would  not 
hearken  to  my  voice;  and  Is-ra-el 
would  “none  of  me. 

12  ^So  I gave  them  up  ’unto  their 
own  hearts’  lust : and  they  walked 
in  their  own  counsels. 

13  ^Oh  that  my  people  had  heark- 
ened unto  me,  and  Is-ra-el  had 
walked  in  my  ways ! 

14  1 should  soon  have  subdued 
their  enemies,  and  turned  my  hand 
against  their  adversaries. 

15  “The  haters  of  the  Lord  should 
have  submitted  themselves  unto 
him : but  their  time  should  have 
endured  for  ever. 

16  He  should  ‘^have  fed  them  also 
^with  the  finest  of  the  wheat : and 
with  honey  •'^out  of  the  rock  should 
I have  satisfied  thee.

Keep  ^not  thou  silence,  O God: 

hold  not  thy  peace,  and  be  not 
still  O God. 

2  For,  lo,  thine  enemies  make  a 
tumult : and  they  that  “"hate  thee 
have  lifted  up  the  head. 

3  They  have  taken  crafty  counsel 
against  thy  people,  and  consulted 
‘’against  tny  hidden  ones. 

4  They  have  said.  Come,  and  J^let 
us  cut  them  off  from  being  a nation ; 
that  the  name  of  IsYa-6l  may  be  no 
more  in  remembrance. 

5  For  they  have  consulted  together 
with  one  ® consent:  they  are  con- 
federate against  thee: 

6  *The  tabernacles  of  E-d6m,  and 
the  Ish-ma-el-ites ; of  Mo-ab,  and 
the  Ha-gar-enes' ; 

7  Gebffl,  and  Am-mOn,  and  Am- 
a-l6k;  the  Phi-hs-tines  with  the 
inhabitants  of  Tyre; 

8  As-siir  also  is  joined  with  them : 
®they  have  holpen  the  children  of 
Lot.  Sedah. 

9  Do  unto  them  as  wnto  the  Midd- 
an-Ites ; as  to  ®Sis_-6-ra,  as  to  Jabin, 
at  the  brook  of  Ki-sOn : 

10  Which  perished  at  En-d6r: 
*they  became  as  dung  for  the  earth. 

11  Make  their  nobles  like  ‘’O-rOb, 
and  like  Ze-eb : yea,  all  their  princes 
as  ^Ze-bah,  and  as  Zal-mun-na: 

12  Who  said.  Let  us  take  to  our- 
selves the  houses  of  God  in  posses- 
sion. 

13  my  God,  make  them  like  a 
wheel;  ^as  the  stubble  before  the 
wind. 

14  As  the  fire  burneth  a wood,  and 
as  the  flame  ‘setteth  the  mountains 
on  fire ; 

15  So  persecute  them  ^with  thy 
tempest,  and  make  them  afraid  with 
thy  storm. 

16  Fill  their  faces  with  shame; 
that  they  may  seek  thy  name,  O 
Lord. 

17  Let  them  be  confounded  and 
troubled  for  ever  • yea,  let  them  be 
put  to  shame,  and  perish :

formed  the  earth  and  the  world,

sight  are  but  as  yesterday  ^when  it

morning  ^they  are  like  grass  which 
®groweth  up. 

6  “In  the  morning  it  flourisheth,

wicked,  how  long  shall  the  wicked 
triumph  1 

4  How  long  shall  they  “utter  and 
speak  hard  things?  and  all  the 
workers  of  iniquity  boast  them- 
selves ? 

5  They  break  in  pieces  thy  people, 
O Lord,  and  afflict  thine  heritage. 

6  They  slay  the  widow  and  the 
stranger,  and  murder  the  father-

7  ®Yet  they  say.  The  Lord  shall 
not  see,  neither  shall  the  God  of 
Ja-c5b  regard  it. 

8  * Understand,  ye  brutish  among

ye  be  wise  ? 

9  *He  that  planted  the  ear,  shall 
he  not  hear!  he  that  formed  the

chastenest,  O Lord,  and  teachest 
him  out  of  thy  law ;

west,  so  far  hath  he  “removed  our 

transgressions  from  us. 

13  *'Like  as  a father  pitieth  his 
children,  so  the  Loed  pitieth  them

To  the  chief  Musician,  A Psalm  of  DaVId. 

Hold  * not  thy  peace,  O God  of 
my  praise ; 

2 For  the  mouth  of  the  wicked 
and  the  ^ mouth  of  the  deceitful 
^are  opened  against  me : they  have 
spoken  against  me  with  a lying 
tongue. 

3  They  compassed  me  about  also 
with  words  of  hatred;  and  fought 
against  me  ^without  a cause. 

4  For  my  love  they  are  my  ad- 
versaries : but  I give  myself  unto 
prayer. 

5  And  Hhey  have  rewarded  me 
evil  for  good,  and  hatred  for  my 
love. 

6  Set  thou  a wicked  man  over 
him : and  let  *Sa-tan®  stand  at  his 
right  hand. 

7  When  he  shall  be  judged,  let 
him  '^be  condemned:  and  ^^let  his 
prayer  become  sin. 

8  Let  his  days  be  few ; and  * let 
another  take  his  ® office. 

9  *Let  his  children  be  fatherless, 
and  his  wife  a widow. 

10  Let  his  children  be  continually 
vagabonds,  and  beg : let  them  seek 
their  bread  also  out  of  their  deso-

11  ‘^Let  the  extortioner  catch  all 
that  he  hath  ; and  let  the  strangers 
spoil  his  labour. 

12  Let  there  be  none  to  extend

not  to  shew  mercy,  but  persecuted

An  exhortation  to  praise  God  for  his  •mercy  and  truth. 

O'* PRAISE  the  Lord,  all  ye 
nations : praise  him,  all  ye 
peoffle. 

2  For  his  merciful  kindness  is 
great  toward  us : and  -^the  truth 
of  the  Lord  endureth  for  ever. 
Praise  ye  the  Lord. 

PSALM  118. 

1 An  exhortation  to  praise  God  for  his  mercy.  5 The 
psalmist  by  his  experience  she'weth  how  good  it  is  to 
trust  in  God.  19  Under  the  type  of  the  psalmist  the 
comAng  of  Christ  in  his  kingdom  is  expressed. 

O^'GIVE  thanks  unto  the  Lord  ; 

for  he  is  good : because  his 
mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

2 *Let  Is-ra-6l  now  say,  that  his 
mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

3  Let  the  house  of  Aar-5n  now 
say,  that  his  mercy  endureth  for

4  Let  them  now  that  fear  the  Lord 
say,  that  his  mercy  endureth  for 
ever.  , . t 

5  "I  called  upon  the  Lord  ^in  dis- 
tress : the  Lord  answered  me,  and 
^set  me  in  a large  place. 

6  The  Lord  is  ^on  my  side;  I 
will  not  fear:  what  can  man  do 
unto  me^ 

7  "The  Lord  taketh  my  part  with 
them  that  help  me:  therefore  shall 
I see  my  desire  upon  them  that

we  sat  down,  yea,  we  wept, 
when  we  remembered  Zi-On. 

2  We  hanged  our  harps  upon  the 
willows  in  the  midst  thereof. 

3  For  there  they  that  carried  us 
away  captive  required  of  us  ^ a song ; 
and  they  that  ^ wasted'^  us  required 
of  us  mirth,  saying,  Sing  us  one  of 
the  songs  of  Zi-on. 

4  How  shall  we  sing  the  Lokp’s 
song  in  a ^strange  land^

PSALM  144. 

1 David  hlessefh  God  for  his  mercy  both  to  him  and  to 
man.  9 He  promiseth  to  praise  God. 

A Psalm  of  Da-vId. 

Blessed  he  the  Loed  ^my 

strength,  ® which  teacheth  my 
hands  “^to  war,  av,d  my  fingers  to 
fight : 

2 ® My  goodness,  and  my  fortress ; 
my  high  tower,  and  my  deliverer ; 
my  shield,  and  he  in  whom  I trust ; 
who  subdueth  my  people  under 
me. 

3 *Loed,  what  is  man,  that  thou 
takest  knowledge  of  him ! or  the 
son  of  man,  that  thou  makest  ac- 
count of  him ! 

4 "“Man  is  like  to  vanity:  “his 
days  are  as  a shadow  that  passeth 
away. 

5  "Bow  thy  heavens,  O Loed,  and 
come  down:  ^ touch  the  mountains, 
and  they  shall  smoke. 

6  Cast  forth  lightning,  and  scatter 
them : shoot  out  thine  arrows,  and 
destroy  them. 

7  Send  thine  ’hand  from  above; 
rid  me,  and  deliver  me  out  of  great 
waters,  from  the  hand  of  strange 
children ; 

8  Whose  mouth  *speaketh  vanity, 
and  their  right  hand  is  a right  hand 
of  falsehood. 

9  I will  ‘sing  a new  song  unto  thee, 
O God : upon  a psaltery  and  an  in- 
strument of  ten  strings  will  I sing 
praises  unto  thee. 

10  It  is  he  that  giveth  ® salvation 
unto  kings : who  delivereth  Da- 
vid his  servant  from  the  hurtful 
sword. 

11  Rid  me,  and  deliver  me  from 
the  hand  of  strange  children,  whose 
mouth  speaketh  vanity,  and  their 
right  hand  is  a right  hand  of  false- 
hood : 

1 2  That  our  sons  may  he  ‘’as  plants 
grown  up  in  their  youth ; that  our 
daughters  may  he  as  corner  stones, 
^polished  after  the  similitude  of  a 
palace : 

13  That  our  garners  may  he  full, 
affording  ^all  manner  of  store:  that 
our  sheep  may  bring  forth  thou- 
sands and  ten  thousands  in  our 
streets : 

14  That  our  oxen  may  he  '^strong 
to  labour ; that  there  he  no  break- 
ing in,  nor  going  out ; that  there  he 
no  complaining  in  our  streets.

Exhortations  to  praise  God 


PSALM  145. 

1 David  praiseth  Qod  for  his  fame,  8 for  his  goodness,  11 
for  his  kingdom,  14  for  his  providence,  17  for  his  saving 
mercy. 

DaAvid’s  Psalm  of  praise. 

I  WILL  extol  thee,  my  God,  O 
king ; and  I will  bless  thy  name 
for  ever  and  ever. 

2  Every  day  will  I bless  thee ; and 
I will  praise  thy  name  for  ever  and 
ever. 

3  Great  is  the  Lord,  and  greatly 
to  be  praised ; ^and  -^his  greatness 
is  unsearchable. 

4  '"One  generation  shall  praise  thy 
works  to  another,  and  shall  declare 
thy  mighty  acts. 

5  I will  speak  of  the  glorious 
honour  of  thy  majesty,  and  of  thy 
wondrous  ^ works. 

6  And  men  shall  speak  of  the 
might  of  thy  terrible  acts : and  I 
will  ^declare  thy  greatness. 

7  They  shall  abundantly  utter  the 
memory  of  thy  great  goodness,  and 
shall  sing  of  thy  righteousness. 

8  «The  Lord  is  gracious,  and  full 
of  compassion ; slow  to  anger,  and 
® of  great  mercy. 

9  '‘The  Lord  is  good  to  all:  and 
his  tender  mercies  are  over  all  his 
works. 

10  All  thy  works  shall  praise  thee, 
O Lord  ; and  thy  saints  shall  bless 
thee. 

11  They  shall  speak  of  the  glory 
of  thy  kingdom,  and  talk  of  thy 
power ; 

1 2  To  make  known  to  the  sons  of 
men  his  mighty  acts,  and  the  glori- 
ous majesty  of  his  kingdom. 

1 3  *Thy  kingdom  is  "^an  everlasting 
kingdom,  and  thy  dominion  endur- 
eth  throughout  all  generations. 

14  The  Lord  upholdeth  all  that 
fall,  and  “raiseth  up  all  those  that 
he  bowed  down. 

15  “The  eyes  of  all  ®wait  upon 
thee;  and  thou  givest  them  their 
meat  in  due  season. 

16  Thou  openest  thine  hand,  “and 
satisfiest  the  desire  of  every  living 
thing. 

1 7  The  Lord  is  righteous  in  all  his 
ways,  and  ^holy  in  all  his  works. 

18  *The  Lord  is  nigh  unto  all 
them  that  call  upon  him,  to  all 
that  call  upon  him  *in  truth. 

1 9  He  will  fulfil  the  desire  of  them 
that  fear  him:  he  also  will  hear 
their  cry,  and  will  save  them. 

20  The  Lord  preserveth  all  them 
that  love  him : but  all  the  wicked 
will  he  destroy. 

21  My  mouth  shall  speak  the  praise 
of  the  Lord  : and  let  all  flesh  bless 
his  holy  name  for  ever  and  ever.

The  “proverbs  of  S5l-5-m5n  the

3 To  receive  the  instruction  ot 
wisdom,  justice,  and  judgment,  and 
^equity;  ^ i 

4 To  give  subtilty  to  the  simple, 
to  the  young  man  knowledge  and 
^discretion.  ^ i -n 

5 A wise  man  will  hear,  and  will 
increase  learning;  and  a man  of 
understanding  shall  attain  unto 
wise  counsels : 

6 To  understand  a proverb,  and 
® the  interpretation ; the  words  of 
the  wise,  and  their  ^dark  sayings. 

7 ^ '‘The  fear  of  the  Lord  i%  Hhe 
beginning  of  knowledge : hut^  fools 
despise  wisdom  and  instruction. 

8 My  son,  hear  the  instruction  of 
thy  father,  and  forsake  not  the  law 
of  thy  mother : 

9 For  they  diall  he  ®an  ornament 
of  grace  unto  thy  head,  and  chains 
about  thy  neck. 

10  H My  son,  if  sinners  entice 
thee,  ” consent  thou  not. 

11  If  they  say.  Come  with  us,  let 
us  lay  wait  for  blood,  let  us  lurk 
privily  for  the  innocent  without 
cause : 

12  Let  us  swallow  them  up  alive 
as  the  grave ; and  whole,  ^as  those 
that  go  down  into  the  pit ; 

13  We  shall  find  all  precious  sub- 
stance, we  shall  fill  our  houses  with 
spoil : 

14  Cast  in  thy  lot  among  us;  let 
us  all  have  one  purse: 

15  My  son,  walk  not  thou  in  the 
way  with  them ; refrain  thy  foot 
from  their  path : , 

16  For  their  feet  run  to  evil,  and 
make  haste  to  shed  blood. 

1 7 Surely  in  vain  the  net  is  spread 
’in  the  sight  of  any  bird.  . 

18  And  they  lay  wait  for  their 
own  blood  they  lurk  privily  for 
their  own  lives.

that  is  greedy  of  gain ; which  taketh 
away  the  life  of  the  owners  thereof.

with  his  fingers ; 

14  Frowardness  is  in  his  heart, 
•^he  deviseth  mischief  continually; 
he  ^soweth  discord. 

15  Therefore  shall  his  calamity 
come  suddenly;  suddenly  shall  he 
^be  broken  '‘without  remedy. 

16  51  These  six  things  doth  the

20  51  *My  son,  keep  thy  father’s 
commandment,  and  forsake  not  the 
law  of  thy  mother : 

21  “Bind  them  continually  upon 
thine  heart,  and  tie  them  about  thy 
neck. 

22  *When  thou  goest,  it  shall  lead 
thee ; when  thou  sleepest,  4t  shall 
keep  thee ; and  when  thou  awakest, 
it  shall  talk  with  thee. 

23  “For  the  commandment  is  a 
®lamp ; and  the  law  is  light ; and 
reproofs  of  instruction  are  the  way 
of  life : 

24  ‘’To  keep  thee  from  the  evil 
woman,  from  the  flattery  ®of  the 
tongue  of  a strange  woman. 

25  ‘^Lust  not  after  her  beauty  in 
thine  heart ; neither  let  her  take 
thee  with  her  eyelids.

CHAPTER  10. 

From  this  chapter  to  the  five  and  twentieth  are  sundry  ob- 
servations of  moral  virtues,  and  their  contrary  vices. 

The  proverbs  of  S(5l-5-m5n. 

wise  son  maketh  a glad  father : 
but  a foolish  son  is  the  heaviness 
of  his  mother. 

2 Treasures  of  wickedness  profit 
nothing:  *but  righteousness  deliv- 
ereth  from  death. 

3 ^'The  Lord  will  not  suffer  the 
soul  of  the  righteous  to  famish  : 
but  he  caste th  away  ‘-^the  substance 
of  the  wicked. 

4/ He  becometh  poor  that  dealeth 
with  a slack  hand  : but  the  hand  of 
the  diligent  maketh  rich. 

5  He  that  gathereth  in  summer  is 
a wise  son  : but  he  that  sleepeth 
in  harvest  is  ^a  son  that  causeth 
shame. 

6  Blessings  are  upon  the  head  of 
the  just : but  violence  covereth  the 
mouth  of  the  wicked. 

7  ”The  memory  of  the  just  is 
blessed : but  the  name  of  the 
wicked  shall  rot. 

8  The  wise  in  heart  will  receive 
commandments : «but  ‘‘a  prating 
fool  ^shall  fall. 

9  ’■He  that  walketh  uprightly 
walketh  surely : but  he  that  per- 
verteth  his  ways  shall  be  known. 

10  He  that  winketh  with  the  eye 
causeth  sorrow : but  a prating  fool 
«shall  fall. 

11  ^The  mouth  of  a righteous  man 
is  a well  of  life : but  violence  cover- 
eth the  mouth  of  the  wicked. 

1 2  Hatred  stirreth  up  strifes : but 
*love  covereth  all  sins. 

13  In  the  lips  of  him  that  hath 
understanding  wisdom  is  found : 
but  a rod  is  for  the  back  of  him 
that  is  void  of  ^understanding. 

14  Wise  men  lay  up  knowledge: 
but  ^^the  mouth  of  the  foolish  is 
near  destruction. 

15  “The  rich  man’s  wealth  is  his 
strong  city : the  destruction  of  the 
poor  IS  their  poverty. 

16  The  labour  of  the  righteous 
tendeth  to  life:  the  fruit  of  the 
wicked  to  sin. 

17  He  is  in  the  way  of  life  that 
keepeth  instruction : but  he  that 
refuseth  reproof  ^erreth. 

18  He  that  hideth  hatred  with 
lying  lips,  and  ‘^he  that  uttereth  a 
slander,  is  a fool. 

19  ®In  the  multitude  of  words 
there  wanteth  not  sin : but  ^he 
that  refraineth  his  lips  is  wise.

choice  silver:  the  heart  of  the 
wicked  is  little  worth. 

21  The  lips  of  the  righteous  feed 
many:  but  fools  die  for  want  ^of 
wisdom. 

22  “The  blessing  of  the  Lord,  it 
maketh  rich,  and  he  addeth  no 
sorrow  with  it. 

23  ^It  is  as  sport  to  a fool  to  do 
mischief : but  a man  of  understand- 
ing hath  wisdom. 

24  The  fear  of  the  wicked,  it  shall 
come  upon  him : but  -^the  desire  of 
the  righteous  shall  be  granted. 

25  As  the  whirlwind  passeth,  ’’so 
is  the  wicked  no  more:  but  *the 
righteous  is  an  everlasting  founda- 
tion. 

26  As  vinegar  to  the  teeth,  and  as 
smoke  to  the  eyes,  so  is  the  slug- 
gard to  them  that  send  him. 

27  The  fear  of  the  Lord  ^prolong- 
eth  days : but  the  years  of  the 
wicked  shall  be  shortened. 

28  The  hope  of  the  righteous  shall 
he  gladness : but  the  ™ expectation 
of  the  wicked  shall  perish. 

29  The  way  of  the  Lord  is  strength 
to  the  upright : “but  destruction 
shall  he  to  the  workers  of  iniquity. 

30  -pThe  righteous  shall  never  be 
removed : but  the  wicked  shall  not 
inhabit  the  earth. 

31  *The  mouth  of  the  just  bring- 
eth  forth  wisdom : but  the  froward 
tongue  shall  be  cut  out. 

32  The  lips  of  the  righteous  know 
what  is  acceptable:  but  the  mouth  of 
the  wicked  speaketh  '^frowardness. 

CHAPTER  11. 

A “FALSE®  balance  is  abomina- 
tion to  the  Lord:  but  ®a  just 
weight  is  his  delight. 

2 When  pride  cometh,  then  corn- 
eth  shame:  but  with  the  lowly  is 
wisdom. 

3 The  integrity  of  the  upright  shall 
guide  them : out  the  perverseness 
of  transgressors  shall  destroy  them. 
4 ^Riches  profit  not  in  the  day 
of  wrath : but  * righteousness  de- 
livereth  from  death. 

5  The  righteousness  of  the  perfect 
shall  ^direct  his  way : but  the  wicked 
shall  fall  by  his  own  wickedness. 

6  The  righteousness  of  the  upright 
shall  deliver  them : but  “transgres- 
sors shall  be  taken  in  their  own 
naughtiness. 

7  When  a wicked  man  dieth,  his 
expectation  shall  perish ; and  the 
hope  of  unjust  men  perisheth. 

8  •'^The  righteous  is  delivered  out 
of  trouble,  and  the  wicked  cometh 
in  his  stead.

destroyeth  his  neighbour : but 
through  knowledge  shall  the  just 
be  delivered. 

10  *When  it  goeth  well  with  the 
righteous,  the  city  rejoiceth : and 
when  the  wicked  perish,  there  is 
shouting. 

11  ®By  the  blessing  of  the  upright 
the  city  is  exalted  : but  it  is  over- 
thrown by  the  mouth  of  the  wicked. 

12  He  that  is  ^void  of  wisdom  de- 
spiseth  his  neighbour  : but  a man  of 
understanding  holdeth  his  peace. 

13  talebearer  revealeth  se- 
crets : but  he  that  is  of  a faithful 
spirit  concealeth  the  matter. 

14  ^ Where  no  counsel  is,  the  peo- 
ple fall : but  in  the  multitude  of 
counsellors  there  is  safety. 

1 5 He  that  is  surety  for  a stranger 
^ shall  smart  for  it  : and  he  that 
hateth  ^suretiship  is  sure. 

16  gracious  woman  retaineth 
honour : and  strong  men  retain 
riches. 

17  "The  merciful  man  doeth  good 
to  his  own  soul : but  he  that  is  cruel 
troubleth  his  own  flesh. 

18  The  wicked  worketh  a deceitful 
work ; but  ^ to  him  that  soweth  right- 
eousness shall  he  a sure  reward. 

1 9 As  righteousness  tendeth  to  life : 
so  he  that  pursueth  evil  pursueth  it 
to  his  own  death. 

20  They  that  are  of  a froward  heart 
are  abomination  to  the  Lord:  but 
such  as  are  upright  in  their  way  are 
his  delight. 

21  Though  hand  join  in  hand,  the 
wicked  shall  not  be  unpunished : 
but  the  seed  of  the  righteous  shall 
be  delivered. 

22  As  a jewel  of  gold  in  a swine’s 
snout,  so  is  a fair  woman  which  ®is 
without  discretion. 

23  The  desire  of  the  righteous  is 
only  good : hut  the  expectation  of 
the  wicked  H’s  wrath. 

24  There  is  that  scattereth,  and 
yet  increaseth ; and  there  is  that 
withholdeth  more  than  is  meet,  but 
it  tendeth  to  poverty. 

25  ‘'The^  liberal  soul  shall  be  made 
fat : ‘'and  he  that  watereth  shall  be 
watered  also  himself. 

26  •'^He  that  withholdeth  corn,  the 
people  shall  curse  him  : but  '‘bless- 
ing shall  he  upon  the  head  of  him 
that  selleth  it. 

27  He  that  diligently  seeketh  good 
procure th  favour : *but  he  that  seek- 
eth mischief,  it  shall  come  unto 
him. 

28  ’"He  that  trusteth  in  his  riches 
shall  fall : but  "the  righteous  shall 
nourish  as  a branch.

hateth  reproof  is  brutish. 

2  ^A  good  man  obtaineth  favour

devices  will  he  condemn. 

3  A man  shall  not  be  established 
by  wickedness : but  the  'root  of  the 
righteous  shall  not  be  moved. 

4  *A  virtuous  woman  is  a crown  to 
her  husband  : but  she  that  maketh 
ashamed  is  'as  rottenness  in  his

5  The  thoughts  of  the  righteous 
are  right : hut  the  counsels  of  the 
wicked  are  deceit. 

6  " The  words  of  the  wicked  are

righteous  shall  stand. 

8  A man  shall  be  commended  ac-

that  is  ®of  a perverse  heart  shall 
be  despised. 

9  ^He  that  is  despised,  and  hath  a 
servant,  is  better  than  he  that  hon- 
oureth  himself,  and  lacketh  bread.

CHAPTER  22. 

A ^ GOOD  name  is  rather  to  be 
chosen  than  great  riches,  and 
^loving  favour  rather  than  silver 

^2  T^e  rich  and  poor  meet  together : 
the  Lord  is  the  maker  of  them  all. 

3  A prudent  man  foreseeth  the  evil, 
and  hideth  himself : but  the  simple 
pass  on,  and  are  punished. 

4  “By  humility  and  the  fear  of  the 
Lord  are  riches,  and  honour,  and 
life.  . 

5  Thorns  and  snares  are  in  the  way 
of  the  froward  : he  that  doth  keep 
his  soul  shall  be  far  from  them. 

6  ^Train®  up  a child  rin  the  way 
he  should  go:  and  when  he  is  old, 
he  will  not  depart  from  it. 

7  The  rich  ruleth  over  the  poor, 
and  the  borrower  is  servant  ’to  the 

lender.  , . . in 

8  He  that  soweth  iniquity  shall 
reap  vanity : ® and  the  rod  of  his 
anger  shall  fail. 

9  ’^He’  that  hath  a bountiful  eye 
shall  be  blessed;  for  he  giveth  of 
his  bread  to  the  poor. 

10  "Cast  out  the  scorner,  and  con- 
tention shall  go  out ; yea,  strife  and 
reproach  shall  cease. 

11  ^'He  that  loveth  pureness  of 
heart,  ^for  the^  grace  of  his  lips  the 
king  shall  be  his  friend. 

12  The  eyes  of  the  Lord  preserve 
knowledge,  and  he  overthroweth 
“the  words  of  the  transgressor. 

13  *The  slothful  man  saith.  There 
is  a lion  without,  I shall  be  slain  in 
the  streets.

14  “The  mouth  of  strange  women 
IS  a deep  pit:  ‘^he  that  is  abhorred 
of  the  Lord  shall  fall  therein. 

15  Foolishness  is  bound  in  the 
heart  of  a child;  hut  Hhe  rod  ot 
correction  shall  drive  it  far  from

16  He  that  oppresseth  the  poor  to

giveth  to  the  rich,  shall  surely  come 
to  want.

22  Rob  not  the  poor,  because  he  is 
poor:  neither  oppress  the  afflicted 
in  the  gate  : 

23  ’"For  the  Lord  will  plead  their 
cause,  and  spoil  the  soul  of  those 
that  foiled  them. 

24  Make  no  friendship  with  an 
angry  man ; and  with  a furious  man 
thou  shalt  not  go : 

25  Lest  thou  learn  his  ways,  and 
get  a snare  to  thy  soul. 

26  ®Be  not  thou  one  of  them  that 
strike  hands,  or  of  them  that  are

27  If  thou  hast  nothing  to  pay, 
why  should  he  take  away  thy  bed 
from  under  thee'? 

28  * Remove  not  the  ancient®  land

29  Seest  thou  a man  diligent  in 
his  business '?  he  shall  stand  before 
kings ; he  shall  not  stand  before 
®mean  men. 

CHAPTER  23. 

WHEN  thou  sittest  to  eat  with  a 
ruler,  consider  diligently  what 
is  before  thee : 

2  And  put  a knife  to  thy  throat,  if 
thou  he  a man  given  to  appetite.

1 Observations  about  fools,  13  about  sluggards,  17  and 

about  contentious  busybodies. 

AS  snow  in  summer,  ”and  as  rain 
in  harvest,  so  honour  is  not 
seemly  for  a fool. 

2 As  the  bir  d by  wandering,  as 
the  swallow  by  flying,  so  '’the  curse 
causeless  shall  not  come. 

3 *^A  whip  for  the  horse,  a bridle 
for  the  ass,  and  a rod  for  the  fool’s 
back. 

4 Answer  not  a fool  according  to 
his  folly,  lest  thou  also  be  like  unto 
him. 

5 ’’Answer  a fool  according  to  his 
folly,  lest  he  be  wise  in  ‘^his  own 
conceit. 

6 He  that  sendeth  a message  by 
the  hand  of  a fool  cutteth  off  the 
feet,  and  drinketh  ^damage. 

7 The  legs  of  the  lame  ^are  not 
equal : so  is  a parable  in  the  mouth 
of  fools. 

8 ^ As  he  that  bindeth  a stone  in  a 
sling,  so  is  he  that  giveth  honour 
to  a fool. 

9 As  a thorn  goeth  up  into  the 
hand  of  a drunkard,  so  is  a parable 
in  the  mouth  of  fools. 

10  '‘The  great  God  that  formed  all 
things  both  rewardeth  the  fool,  and 
rewardeth  transgressors. 

1 1 As  a dog  returneth  to  his  vomit, 
so  a fool  ® returneth  to  his  folly. 

12  Seest  thou  a man  wise  in  his 
own  conceit  ? there  is  more  hope  of 
a fool  than  of  him. 

13  The  slothful  man  saith,  There

15  The  slothful  hideth  his  hand 
in  his  bosom;  ^it  grieveth  him  to 
bring  it  again  to  his  mouth. 

16  The  sluggard  is  wiser  in  his 
own  conceit  than  seven  men  that 
can  render  a reason. 

17  He  that  passeth  hy,  and  ^mea- 
dleth  with  strife  belonging  not  to 
him,  is  like  one  that  taketh  a dog 
by  the  ears. 

18  As  a mad  vian  who  casteth 
® firebrands,  arrows,  and  death, 

19  So  is  the  man  that  deceiveth 
his  neighbour,  and  saith,  Am  not  I 
in  sport  % 

20  ’Where  no  wood  is,  there  the 
fire  goeth  out : so  where  there  is  no 
^tal^earer,  the  strife  ^ceaseth. 

21  As  coals  are  to  burning  coals, 
and  wood  to  fire ; so  is  a contentious 
man  to  kindle  strife. 

22  The  words  of  a talebearer  are 
as  wounds,  and  they  go  down  into 
the  ^innermost  parts  of  the  belly. 

23  Burning  lips  and  a wicked 
heart  are  like  a potsherd  covered 
with  silver  dross. 

24  He  that  hateth  ^dissembleth 
with  his  lips,  and  layeth  up  deceit 
within  him ; 

25  When  he  ^speaketh  fair,  believe 
him  not : for  there  are  seven  abom- 
inations in  his  heart. 

26  Whose  “^hatred  is  covered  by 
deceit,  his  wickedness  shall  be 
shewed  before  the  whole  congre- 
gation. 

27  Whoso  diggeth  a pit  shall  fall 
therein : and  he  that  rolleth  a stone, 
it  will  return  upon  him. 

28  A lying  tongue  hateth  those  that 
are  afflicted  by  it ; and  a flattering 
mouth  worketh  ruin.

a loud  voice,  rising  early  in  the

General  observations  of  impiety  and  religious  integrity. 

ST  E wicked  flee  when  no  man 
ursueth  : but  the  righteous  are 
as  a lion. 

2  For  the  transgression  of  a land 
many  are  the  princes  thereof : but 
-^by  a man  of  understanding  and 
knowledge  the  state  thereof  shall  be 
prolonged. 

3  -^A  poor  man  that  oppresseth  the 
poor  IS  like  a sweeping  rain  ® which 
leaveth  no  food. 

4  S' They  that  forsake  the  law 
praise  tne  wicked:  but  such  as 
keep  the  law  contend  with  them. 

5  Evil  men  understand  not  judg- 
ment : but  *they  that  seek  the  Lord 
understand  all  things. 

6  Better  is  the  poor  that  walketh 
in  his  uprightness,  than  he  that  is 
perverse  in  his  ways,  though  he  be 
rich. 

7  * Whoso  keepeth  the  law  is  a wise 
son:  but  he  that  ’is  a companion 
of  riotous  men  shameth  his  father. 

8  ""He  that  by  usury  and  ® unjust 
gain  increaseth  his  substance,  he 
shall  gather  it  for  him  that  will 
pity  the  poor. 

9  “He  that  turneth  away  his  ear 
from  hearing  the  law,  ^even  his 
prayer  shall  be  abomination. 

10  ’’Whoso  cause th  the  righteous 
to  go  astray  in  an  evil  way,  he  shall 
fall  himself  into  his  own  pit : *but 
the  upright  shall  have  good  things 
in  possession. 

11  The  rich  man  is  wise  ^in  his 
own  conceit;  but  the  poor  that 
hath  understanding  searcheth  him 
out. 

12  “When  righteous  men  do  re- 
joice, there  is  great  glory : but 
when  the  wicked  rise,  a man  is 
‘"'hidden. 

1 3  ^ He  that  covereth  his  sins  shall 
not  prosper  : but  whoso  confesseth 
and  forsaketh  them  shall  have 
mercy.

18  Whoso  walketh  uprightly  shall

stirreth  up  strife : ^but  he  that  put-

I Agwr’s  confession  of  his  faith.  7 The  two  points  of  his  ^ ^3  22. 
prayer.  10  The  meanest  are  not  to  be  wronged.  11  Four  g brook 

wicked  generations.  15  Four  things  insatiable.  17  Pa-  ' 
rents  are  not  to  be  despised.  18  Four  things  hard  to

82  Wrath  is  to  be  prevented. 


The  words  of  A-gur  the  son  of 
Ja-keh,  even  the  prophecy  : the 
man  spake  unto  Ith4-6l,  even  unto 
Ith4-6l  and  U^al, 

2  ‘'Surely  I am  more  brutish  than 
any  man,  and  have  not  the  under- 
standing of  a man. 

3  I neither  learned  wisdom,  noi 
^have  the  knowledge  of  the  holy. 

4  •’'Who  hath  ascended  up  into

gathered  the  wind  in  his  fists  *?  who 
ath  bound  the  waters  in  a gar- 
ment ’I  who  hath  established  all  the 
ends  of  the  earth*?  what  is  his  name, 
and  what  is  his  son’s  name,  if  thou 
canst  tell  *? 

5  * Every  word  of  God  is  ®pure: 
"‘he  is  a shield  unto  them  that  put 
their  trust  in  him. 

6  ”Add  thou  not  unto  his  words, 
lest  he  reprove  thee,  and  thou  be 
found  a liar. 

7  Two  things  have  I required  of 
thee ; ®deny  me  them  not  before  I 
die : 

8  Remove  far  from  me  vanity  and 
lies  : gi’^e  me  neither  poverty  nor 
riches;  ®feed  me  with  food  ''con- 
venient for  me : 

9  "Lest  I be  full,  and  ®deny  thee, 
and  say.  Who  is  the  Lord  ^ or  lest 
I be  poor,  and  steal,  and  take  the 
name  of  my  God  in  vain. 

10  ^Accuse  not  a servant  unto  his 
master,  lest  he  curse  thee,  and  thou 
be  found  guilty. 

1 1  There  is  a generation  that  curs- 
eth  their  father,  and  doth  not  bless 
their  mother. 

12  There  is  a generation  ^that 
are  pure  in  their  own  eyes,  and 
yet  is  not  washed  from  their  filthi- 
ness.  . ^ , 

13  There  is  a generation,  O how 
“lofty  are  their  eyes ! and  theii 
eyelids  are  lifted  up. 

14  ^ There  is  a generation,  whose 
teeth  are  as  swords,  and  their  jaw 
teeth  as  knives,  ‘'to  devour  the 
poor  from  off  the  earth,  and  the 
needy  from  among  men. 

15  The  horseleach  hath  two  daugh- 
ters, crying.  Give,  give.  There  are 
three  things  that  are  never  satis- 
fied, yea,  four  things  say  not,  ^It  is 
enough : , , , 

16^  The  grave ; and  the  barren 
womb ; the  earth  that  is  not  filled 
with  water  ; and  the  fire  that  saith 
not.  It  is  enough.  , 

17  '‘The  eye  that  mocketh  at  his 
father,  and  despiseth  to  obey  his 
mother,  the  ravens  of  ®the  valley 
shall  pick  it  out,  and  the  young 
eagles  shall  eat  it.  . 

18  There  be  three  things  which 


606 


'/'tie  'praise  and  properties 

are  too  wonderful  for  me,  yea,  four 
which  I know  not : 

19  The  way  of  an  eagle  in  the  air; 
the  way  of  a serpent  upon  a rock ; 
the  way  of  a ship  in  the  ^ midst  of 
the  sea;  and  the  way  of  a man  with 
a maid. 

20  Such  is  the  way  of  an  adulter- 
ous woman  ; she  eateth,  and  wipeth 
her  rnouth,  and  saith,  I have  done 
no  wickedness. 

21  For  three  things  the  earth  is 
disquieted,  and  for  four  i/jhich  it 
cannot  bear: 

22  -^For  a servant  when  he  reign- 
eth ; and  a fool  when  he  is  filled 
with  meat; 

23  For  an  odious  'woman  when  she 
is  married ; and  an  handmaid  that 
is  heir  to  her  mistress. 

24  There  be  four  things  'which  are 
little  upon  the  earth,  but  they  are 
^exceeding  wise: 

25  *^The  ants  are  a peoi)le  not 
strong,  yet  they  prepare  their  meat 
in  the  summer ; 

26  * The  conies  are  hut  a feeble 
folk,  yet  make  they  their  houses 
in  the  rocks ; 

27  The  locusts  have  no  king,  yet  go 
they  forth  all  of  them  '^by  bands  ; 

28  The  spider  taketh  hold  with  her 
hands,  and  is  in  kings’  palaces. 

29  There  be  three  things  which  go 
well,  yea,  four  are  comely  in  going : 

30  A lion  'which  is  strongest  among 
beasts,  and  turneth  not  away  for 
any; 

31  A greyhound;  an  he  goat 
also  ; and  a king,  against  whom 
■there  is  no  rising  up. 

32  If  thou  hast  done  foolishly  in 
lifting  up  thyself,  or  if  thou  hast 
thou^t  evil,  '^la'y  thine  hand  upon 
thy  mouth. 

33  Surely  the  churning  of  milk 
bringeth  forth  butter,  and  the 
wringing  of  the  nose  bringeth 
forth  blood : so  the  forcing  of 
wrath  bringeth  forth  strife.

6 “Give  strong  drink  unto  him  that

1 1 The  heart  of  her  husband  doth 
safely  trust  in  her,  so  that  he  shall 
have  no  need  of  spoil. 

12  She  will  do  him  good  and  not 
evil  all  the  days  of  her  life. 

13  She  seeketh  wool,  and  flax, 
and  worketh  willingly  with  her 
hands. 

1 4 She  is  like  the  merchants’  ships ; 
she  bringeth  her  food  from  afar. 

15  *She  riseth  also  while  it  is 
yet  night,  and  'giveth  meat  to  her 
household.,  and  a portion  to  her 
maidens. 

16  She  considereth  a field,  and 
® buyeth  it : with  the  fruit  of  her 
hands  she  planteth  a vineyard. 

17  She  girdeth  her  loins  with 
strength,  and  strengtheneth  her 
arms. 

18  ®She  perceiveth  that  her  mer, 
chandise  is  good  : her  candle  goeth 
not  out  by  night. 

19  She  layeth  her  hands  to  the 
spindle,  and  her  hands  hold  the 
distaff. 

20  “She^  stretcheth  out  her  hand 
to  the  poor ; yea,  she  reacheth  forth 
her  hands  to  the  needy. 

21  She  is  not  afraid  of  the  snow 
for  her  household : for  all  her  house- 
hold are  clothed  with  scarlet. 

22  She  maketh  herself  coverings 
of  tapestry ; her  clothing  is  silk  and 
purple. 

23  "Her  husband  is  known  in  the 
gates,  when  he  sitteth  among  the 
elders  of  the  land. 

24  She  maketh  fine  linen,  and  sell- 
eth  it ; and  delivereth  girdles  unto 
the  merchant. 

25  Strength  and  honour  are  her 
clothing ; and  she  shall  rejoice  in 
time  to  come. 

26  She  openeth  her  mouth  with 
wisdom;  and  in  her  tongue  is  the 
law  of  kindness. 

27  She  looketh  well  to  the  ways  of 
her  household,  and  eateth  not  the 
bread  of  idleness.

CHAPTER  1. 

1 AU  human  courses  are  vain:  4 because  the  creatures  are 
restless  in  their  courses,  9 they  bring  forth  nothing  new, 
and  all  old  things  are  forgotten.  12  The  preacher  hath 
found  it  so  in  the  study  of  wisdom. 

The  words  *of  the  Preacher,  the 
son  of  Da-vid,  king  in  JAru- 
sa-l6m. 

2 ‘^Vanity  of  vanities,  saith  the 
Preacher,  vanity  of  vanities  ; ‘'all  is 
vanity. 

3 ■''What  profit  hath  a man  of  all 
his  labour  which  he  taketh  under 
the  sun? 

4 One  generation  passeth  away, 
and  another  generation  cometh : 
'^but  the  earth  abideth  for  ever. 

5 ^The  sun  also  ariseth,  and  the 
sun  goeth  down,  and  ^hasteth  to 
his  ^ace  where  he  arose. 

6 ^The  wind  goeth  toward  the 
south,  and  turneth  about  unto  the 
north ; it  whirleth  about  continu- 
ally, and  the  wind  returneth  again 
according  to  his  circuits. 

7 ” All  the  rivers  run  into  the  sea ; 
yet  the  sea  is  not  full  ; unto  the 
place  from  whence  the  rivers  come, 
thither  they  ® return  again. 

8 All  things  are  full  of  labour; 
man  cannot  utter  ^^;  /the  eye  is 
not  satisfied  with  seeing,  nor  the 
ear  filled  with  hearing. 

9 ’’The  thing  that  hath  been,  it 
is  thxit  which  shall  be;  and  that 
which  is  done  is  that  which  shall 
be  done : and  there  is  no  new  thing 
under  the  sun. 

10  Is  there  any  thing  whereof  it 
may  be  said.  See,  this  is  new?^  it 
hath  been  already  of  old  time,  which 
was  before  us. 

11  There  is  no  remembrance  of 
former  things ; neither  shall  there 
be  any  remembrance  of  things  that 
are  to  come  with  those  that  shall 
come  after.

better  than  joy  in  our  labour. 

I ‘’SAID  in  mine  heart,  Go  to  now, 
I will  prove  thee  with  mirth, 
therefore  enjoy  pleasure:  and,  be-

myself  unto  wine,^  yet  acquainting

was  that  good  for  the  sons  of  men, 
which  they  should  do  under  the

4 1 made  me  great  works ; I builded 
me  houses ; I planted  me  vineyards : 
5 I made  me  gardens  and  orchards, 
and  I planted  trees  in  them  of  all 
kind  of  fruits : 

6 I made  me  pools  of  water,  to

bringeth  forth  trees :

because  should  leave  it  unto  the 
man  that  shall  be  after  me. 

19  And  who  knoweth  whether  he

my  heart  to  despair  of  all  the  la- 
bour which  I took  under  the  sun. 

21  For  there  is  a man  whose  labour 
is  in  wisdom,  and  in  knowledge, 
and  in  equity ; yet  to  a man  that 
hath  not  laboured  therein  shall  he 

leave  it  for  his  portion.  This  also 
is  vanity  and  a great  evil. 

22  *For  what  hath  man  of  all  his 
labour,  and  of  the  vexation  of  his 
heart,  wherein  he  hath  laboured 
under  the  sun? 

23  For  all  his  days  are  **  sorrows, 
and  his  travail  grief ; yea,  his  heart 
taketh  not  rest  in  the  night.  This 
is  also  vanity.  _ 

24  H ^ There  is  nothing  better  for 
a man,  than  that  he  should  eat  and 
drink,  and  that  he  ^should  make  his 
soul  enjoy  good  in  his  labour.  This 
also  I saw,  that  it  was  from  the 
hand  of  God. 

25  For  who  can  eat,  or  who  else 
can  hasten  hereunto,  more  than  I? 

26  For  God  giveth  to  a man  that 
is  good  ®in  his  sight  wisdom,  and 
knowledge,  and  joy:  but  to  the 
sinner  he  giveth  travail,  to  gather 
and  to  heap  up,  that  *he  may  give 
to  him  that  is  good  before  God.  This 
also  is  vanity  and  vexation  of  spirit. 

CHAPTER  3. 

1 By  the  necessary  change  of  times,  vanity  is  added  to 

human  travail.  11  There  is  an  excellency  in  God's 

works.  16  But  as  for  man,  God  shall  judge  his  works 

there,  and  here  he  shall  be  like  a beast. 

TO  every  thing  there  is  a season, 
and  a *time  to  every  purpose 
under  the  heaven: 

2  A time  Ho  be  born,  and  ”a  time 
to  die ; a time  to  plant,  and  a time 
to  pluck  up  that  which  is  planted  ; 

3  A time  to  kill,  and  a time  to 
heal ; a time  to  break  down,  and  a 
time  to  build  up  ; 

4  A time  to  weep,  and  a time  to 
laugh ; a time  to  mourn,  and  a time 
to  dance ; 

5  A time  to  cast  away  stones,  and 
a time  to  gather  stones  together ; a 
time  to  embrace,  and  "a  time  Ho 
refrain  from  embracing; 

6  A time  to  ^get,  and  a time  to 
lose;  a time  to  keep,  and  a time 
L-o  cast  away ; 

7  A time  to  rend,  and  a time  to 
sew;  ^'a  time  to  keep  silence,  and 
a time  to  speak ; 

8  A time  to  love,  and  a time  to 
’’hate ; a time  of  war,  and  a time 
of  peace. 

9  *What  profit  hath  he  that  work- 
eth  in  that  wherein  he  labqureth  ? 

10  H have  seen  the  travail,  which 
God  hath  given  to  the  sons  of  men 
to  be  exercised  in  it. 

11  He  hath  made  every  thing 


609

beautiful  in  his  time  : also  he  hath 
set  the  world  in  their  heart,  so  that 
“no  man  can  find  out  the  work  that 
God  maketh  from  the  beginning  to 
the  end.  . 

12  ‘'I  know  that  there  ts  no  g9od 
in  them,  but  for  a rrmn  to  rejoice, 
and  to  do  good  in  his  life. 

13  And  also  ‘^that  every  nqan 
should  eat  and  drink,  and  enjoy 
the  good  of  all  his  labonr,  it  is  the 
gift  of  God. 

14  I know  that,  whatsoever  God 
doeth,  it  shall  be  for  ever  : /nothing 
can  be  put  to  it,  nor  any  thing  taken 
from  it : and  God  doeth  it,  that 
men  should  fear  before  him. 

15  '^That  which  hath  been  is  now ; 
and  that  which  is  to  be  hath  al- 
ready been;  and  God  requireth 
^that  which  is  past. 

16  U And  moreover  'I  saw  under 
the  sun  the  place  of  judgment,  that 
wickedness  was  there ; and  the 
place  of  righteousness,  that  iniquity 
was  there. 

17  1 said  in  mine  heart,  ’^God  shall 
judge  the  righteous  and  the  wicked : 
for  there  is  ’"a  time  there  for  every 
purpose  and  for  every  work. 

18  1 said  in  mine  heart  concerning 
the  estate  of  the  sons  of  men,  ^that 
God  might  manifest  them,  and  that 
they  might  see  that  they  themselves 
are  beasts. 

19  “For  that  which  befalleth  the 
sons  of  men  befalleth  beasts ; even 
one  thing  befalleth  them  : as  the 
one  dieth,  so  dieth  the  other ; yea, 
they  have  all  one  breath ; so  that 
a man  hath  no  preeminence  above 
a beast : for  all  u vanity. 

20  All  go  unto  one  place ; ^all  are 
of  the  d^ust,  and  all  turn  to  dust 
again. 

21  «Who  knoweth  the  spirit  ®of 
man  that  ’goeth  upward,  and  the 
spirit  of  the  beast  that  goeth  down- 
ward to  the  earth '? 

22  Wherefore  I perceive  that 
there  is  nothing  better,  than  that 
a man  should  rejoice  in  his  own 
works ; for  * that  is  his  portion 
*for  who  shall  bring  him  to  see 
what  shall  be  after  himi

1 Vanity  is  increased  unto  men  hy  oppression,  4 envy,

SO  I returned,  and  considered  all 
the  "^oppressions  that  are  done 
under  the  sun : and  behold  the 
tears  of  such  as  were  oppressed,  and 
they  had  no  comforter  ; and  on  the 
®side  of  their  oppressors  there  was 
power  ; but  they  had  no  comforter.

3 *Yea,  better  is  he  than  both  they, 
which  hath  not  yet  been,  who  hath 
not  seen  the  evil  work  that  is  done 
under  the  sun. 

4 H Again,  I considered  all  travail, 
and  ^ every  right  work,  that ^ for  this 
a man  is  envied  of  his  neighbour. 
Tins  is  also  vanity  and  vexation  of 
spirit. 

5 ^The  fool  foldeth  his  hands  to- 
gether, and  eateth  his  own  flesh. 

6 ^Better  is  an  handful  with  quiet- 
ness, than  both  the  hands  full  with 
travail  and  vexation  of  spirit. 

7 ^ Then  I returned,  and  I saw 
vanity  under  the  sun. 

8 There  is  one  alone,  and  there  is 
not  a second ; yea,  he  hath  neither 
child  nor  brother:  yet  is  there  no 
end  of  all  his  labour ; neither  is  his 
*eye  satisfied  with  riches:  ^neither 
saith  he.  For  whom  do  I labour,  and 
bereave  my  soul  of  good*?  This  is 
also  vanity,  yea  it  is  a sore  travail. 

9 H Two  are  better  than  one ; be- 
cause they  have  a good  reward  for 
their  labour. 

10  For  if  they  fall,  the  one  will 
lift  up  his  fellow : but  woe  to  him 
that  is  alone  when  he  falleth ; for 
he  hath  not  another  to  help  him 
up. 

1 1 Again,  if  two  lie  together,  then 
they  have  heat : but  how  can  one 
be  warm  alone  ? 

1 2 And  if  one  prevail  against  him, 
two  shall  withstand  him  ; and  a 
threefold  cord  is  not  quickly  broken. 

1 13  ^ Better  is  a poor  and  a wise 
'hild  than  an  old  and  foolish  king, 
1 'who  will  no  more  be  admonished. 

14  For  out  of  prison  he  cometh  to 
reign ; whereas  also  he  that  is  born 
in  his  kingdom  becometh  poor. 

15  I considered  all  the  living 
which  walk  under  the  sun,  with 
the  second  child  that  shall  stand 
up  in  his  stead. 

16  There  is  no  end  of  all  the  peo- 
ple, even  of  all  that  have  been  be- 
fore them : they  also  that  come  after 
shall  not  rejoice  in  him.  Surely  this 
also  is  vanity  and  vexation  of  spirit. 

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Vanities  in  divine  service,  8 in  murmuring  against

gift  of  God. 

Keep  "thy  foot  when  thou  goest

therefore  let  thy  words  “be  few.

of  words. 

4 ®When  thou  vowest  a vow  unto 
God,  defer  not  to  pay  it ; for  he 
hath  no  pleasure  in  fools : -^pay 
that  which  thou  hast  vowed. 

5 ^Better  is  it  that  thou  shouldest 
not  vow,  than  that  thou  shouldest 
vow  and  not  pay. 

6 Suffer  not  thy  mouth  to  cause 
thy  flesh  to  sin ; * neither  say  thou 
before  the  angel,  that  it  was  an 
error;  wherefore  should  God  be 
angry  at  thy  voice,  and  destroy  the 
work  of  thine  hands  % 

7 For  in  the  multitude  of  dreams 
and  many  words  there  are  also 
divers  vanities : but  *fear  thou  God. 

8 H If  thou  ^seest  the  oppression 
of  the  poor,  and  violent  jDerverting 
of  judgment  and  justice  in  a prov- 
ince, marvel  not  ^at  the  matter: 
for  “Ae  that  is  higher  than  the 
highest  regardeth ; and  there  be 
higher  than  they. 

9 H Moreover  the  profit  of  the 
earth  is  for  all : the  king  himself 
is  served  by  the  field. 

10  He  that  loveth  silver  shall  not 
be  satisfied  with  silver ; nor  he  that 
loveth  abundance  with  increase : 
this  is  also  vanity. 

^ 1 1 When  goods  increase,  they  are 
increased  that  eat  them : and  what 
good  is  there  to  the  owners  thereof, 
saving  the  beholding  of  them  with 
their  eyes'? 

12  The  sleep  of  a labouring  man 
is  sweet,  whether  he  eat  little  or 
much:  but  the  abundance  of  the 
rich  will  not  suffer  him  to  sleep. 

13  *■  There  is  a sore  evil  which  I 
have  seen  under  the  sun,  namely, 
riches  kept  for  the  owners  thereof 
to  their  hurt. 

14  But  those  riches  perish  by  evil 
travail : and  he  begetteth  a son, 
and  there  is  nothing  in  his  hand. 

15  ‘As  he  came  forth  of  his  mother’s 
womb,  naked  shall  he  return  to  go 
as  he  came,  and  shall  take  nothing 
of  his  labour,  which  he  may  carry 
away  in  his  hand. 

16  And  this  also  is  a sore  evil, 
that  in  all  points  as  he  came,  so 
shall  he  go : and  ""what  profit  hath 
he  y that  hath  laboured  for  the 
wind  % 

17  All  his  days  also  *he  eateth  in 
darkness,  and  he  hath  much  sorrow 
and  wrath  with  his  sickness.

1 The  vanity  of  riches  without  use.  3 Of  children,  6 and 
old  age  -without  riches.  9 The  vanity  of  sight  and  wan- 
dering desires.  11  The  conclusion  of  vanities. 

There  ‘is  an  evil  which  I have 
seen  under  the  sun,  and  it  is 
common  among  men: 

2  A man  to  whom  God  hath  given 
riches,  wealth,  and  honour,  "“so  that 
he  wanteth  nothing  for  his  soul  of 
all  that  he  desireth,  “yet  God  giveth 
him  not  power  to  eat  thereof,  but 
a stranger  eateth  it : this  is  vanity, 
and  it  is  an  evil  disease. 

3  51  If  a man  beget  an  hundred 
children,  and  live  many  years,  so 
that  the  days  of  his  years  be  many, 
and  his  soul  be  not  filled  with  good, 
and  ^also  that  he  have  no  burial; 
I say,  that  ^an  untimely  birth  is 
better  than  he. 

4  For  he  cometh  in  with  vanity,  and 
departeth  in  darkness,  and  his  name 
shall  be  covered  with  darkness. 

5  Moreover  he  hath  not  seen  the 
sun,  nor  known  any  thing:  this 
hath  more  rest  than  the  other. 

6  51  Yea,  though  he  live  a thousand 
years  twice  told,  yet  hath  he  seen  no 
good  : do  not  all  go  to  one  place '? 

7  *A11  the  labour  of  man  is  for  his 
mouth,  and  yet  the  ^appetite  is  not 
filled. 

8  For  what  hath  the  wise  more 
than  the  fool '?  what  hath  the  poor, 
that  knoweth  to  walk  before  the 
living  % 

9  51  Better  is  the  sight  of  the  eyes 
®than  the  wandering  of  the  desire : 
this  is  also  vanity  and  vexation  of 
spirit. 

10  That  which  hath  been  is  named 
already,  and  it  is  known  that  it  is 
man ; “neither  may  he  contend  with 
him  that  is  mightier  than  he.

that  increase  vanity,  what  is  man 
the  better'?

4 The  heart  of  the  wise  is  in  the 
house  of  mourning ; but  the  heart 
of  fools  is  in  the  house  of  mirth. 

5 is  better  to  hear  the  rebuke 
of  the  wise,  than  for  a man  to  hear 
the  song  of  fools. 

6 *For  as  the  '‘crackling  of  thorns 
under  a pot,  so  is  the  laughter  of 
the  fool : this  also  is  vanity. 

7 H Surely  oppression  maketh  a 

wise  man  mad ; ^and  a gift  destroy- 
eth  the  heart.  . 

8 Better  the  end  of  a thing  than 

the  beginning  thereof : and  ” the 
patient  in  spirit  is  better  than  the 
proud  in  spirit.  . . 

9 ^ Be  not  hasty  in  thy  spirit  to 
be  angry : for  anger  resteth  in  the 
bosom  of  fools. 

10  Say  not  thou,  What  is  the  cause 
that  the  former  days  were  better 
than  these  1 for  thou  dost  not  en- 
quire ® wisely  concerning  this.  ^ 

11  U Wisdom  is  ®good  with  an  in- 
heritance : and  by  it  there  is  profit 
••to  them  that  see  the  sun. 

12  For  wisdom  is  a ^defence,  and 
money  is  a defence : but  the  excel- 
lency of  knowledge  is,  that  wisdom 
giveth  life  to  them  that  have  it. 

13  Consider  the  work  of  God : for 
“who  can  make  that  straight,  which 
he  hath  made  crooked  % 

14  ^In  the  day  of  prosperity  be 

joyful,  but  in  the  day  of  adversity 
consider : God  also  hath  ^ set  the 
one  over  against  the  other,  to  the 
end  that  man  should  find  nothing 
after  him.  . 

15  All  things  have  I seen  in  the 

days  of  my  vanity:  “there  is  a just 

man  that  perisheth  in  his  righF 
eousness,  and  there  is  a wicked 
man  that  prolongeth  his  life  in 
his  wickedness. 

16  ‘‘Be  not  righteous  over  much; 
^neither  make  thyself  over  wise: 
why  shouldest  thou  destroy  thy- 

self'?  ^ •

1 Kings  are  greatly  to  be  respected.  6 The  divine  providence 
is  to  be  observed.  12  It  is  better  with  the  godly  in  adversity,  ■ 
than  with  the  wicked  in  prosperity.  16  The  work  of  God 
is  unsearchable.  '

tion of  a thingl  ^a  man’s  wisdom  j

Of  divine  providence. 

5 Whoso  keepeth  the  command- 
ment ^ shall  feel  no  evil  thing : and 
a wise  man’s  heart  discerneth  both 
time  and  judgment. 

6 H Because  to  every  purpose  there 
is  time  and  judgment,  therefore  the 
misery  of  man  is  great  upon  him. 

7 ^For  he  knoweth  not  that  which 
shall  be : for  who  can  tell  him  ^when 
it  shall  be  1 

8 ^There  is  no  man  that  hath  pow;er 
®over  the  spirit  to  retain  the  spirit; 
neither  hath  he  power  in  the  day 
of  death:  and  there  is  no  '^discharge 
in  that  war;  neither  shall  wicked- 
ness dehver  those  that  are  given 
to  it. 

9 All  this  have  I seen,  and  applied 
my  heart  unto  every  work  tnat  is 
done  under  the  sun  : there  is  a time 
wherein  one  man  ruleth  over  an- 
other to  his  own  hurt. 

10  And  so  I saw  the  wicked  buried, 
who  had  come  and  gone  from  the 
place  of  the  holy,  and  they  were 
forgotten  in  the  city  where  they 
had  so  done : this  is  also  vanity. 

11  ^Because  sentence  against  an 
evil  work  is  not  executed  speedily, 
therefore  the  heart  of  the  sons  of 
men  is  fully  set  in  them  to  do  evil. 

12  ^ ^Though  a sinner  do  evil  an 
hundred  times,  and  his  days  be  pro- 
longed, yet  surely  I know  that  *it 
shall  be  well  with  them  that  fear 
God,  which  fear  before  him : 

13  But  it  shall  not  be  well  with 
the  wicked,  neither  shall  he  pro- 
long his  days,  which  are  as  a 
shadow ; because  he  feareth  not 
before  God. 

14  There  is  a vanity  which  is  done 
upon  the  earth ; that  there  be  just 

unto  whom  it  ”happeneth  ac- 
cording to  the  work  of  the  wicked ; 
again,  there  be  wicked  men,  to 
whom  it  happeneth  according  to 
the  work  of  the  righteous : I said 
that  this  also  is  vanity. 

15  "Then  I commended  mirth,  be- 
cause a man  hath  no  better  thing 
under  the  sun,  than  to  eat.  and  to 
drink,  and  to  be  merry : tor  that 
shall  abide  with  him  of  his  labour 
the  days  of  his  life,  which  God 
giveth  him  under  the  sun. 

16  51  When  I applied  mine  heart 
to  know  wisdom,  and  to  see  the 
business  that  is  done  upon  the 
earth : (for  also  there  is  that  nei- 
ther day  nor  night  seeth  sleep  with 
his  eyes :) 

17  Then  I beheld  all  the  work  of 
God,  that  ^a  man  cannot  find  out 
the  work  that  is  done  under  the 
sun : because  though  a man  labour 
to  seek  it  out,  yet  he  shall  not  find 


it ; yea  farther ; though  a wise  man 
think  to  know  it,  “yet  shall  he  not 
be  able  to  find  it. 

CHAPTER  9. 

1 Like  things  happen  to  good  and  bad.  4 There  is  a neces- 
sity of  death  unto  men.  7 Comfort  is  all  their  portion  in 
this  life.  U God's  providence  ruleth  over  all.  13  Wisdom 
is  better  than  strength. 

For  all  this  considered  in  my 
heart  even  to  declare  all  this, 
‘^that  the  righteous,  and  the  wise, 
and  their  works,  are  in  the  hand  of 
God : no  man  knoweth  either  love 
or  hatred  by  all  that  is  before  them. 
2 -^All  things  come  alike  to  all : 
there  is  one  event  to  the  righteous, 
and  to  the  wicked ; to  the  good  and 
to  the  clean,  and  to  the  unclean; 
to  him  that  sacrificeth,  and  to  him 
that  sacrificeth  not : as  is  the  good, 
so  is  the  sinner ; and  he  that  swear- 
eth,  as  he  that  feareth  an  oath. 

3  This  is  an  evil  among  all  things 
that  are  done  under  the  sun,  that 
there  is  one  event  unto  all:  yea, 
also  the  heart  of  the  sons  of  men 
is  full  of  evil,  and  madness  is  in 
their  heart  while  they  live,  and 
after  that  thejj  go  to  the  dead. 

4  U For  to  him  that  is  joined  to  all 
the  living  there  is  hope : for  a liv- 
ing dog  is  better  than  a dead  lion. 

5  For  the  living  know  that  they 
shall  die : but /"the  dead  know  not 
any  thing,  neither  have  they  any 
more  a reward;  for  Hhe  memory 
of  them  is  forgotten. 

6  Also  their  love,  and  their  hatred, 
and  their  envy,  is  now  perished ; 
neither  have  they  any  inore  a por- 
tion for  ever  in  any  thing  that  is 
done  under  the  sun. 

7  51  Go  thy  way,  ”"eat  thy  bread 
with  joy,  and  drink  thy  wine  with 
a merry  heart;  for  God  now  ac- 
cepteth  thy  works. 

8  Let  thy  garments  be  always 
white;  and  let  thy  head  lack  no 
ointment. 

9  ®Live  joyfully  with  the  wife 
whom  thou  lovest  all  the  days  of 
the  life  of  thy  vanity,  which  he 
hath  given  thee  under  the  sun,  all 
the  days  of  thjr  vanity : ^for  that 
is  thy  portion  in  this  life,  and  in 
thy  labour  which  thou  takest  un- 
der the  sun. 

10  Whatsoever  thy  hand  findeth 
to  do,  do  it  with  thy  might ; for 
there  is  no  work,  nor  device,  nor 
knowledge,  nor  wisdom,  in  the 
grave,  whither  thou  goest. 

11  51  I returned,  ^and  saw  under 
the  sun,  that  the  race  is  not  to  the 
swift,  nor  the  battle  to  the  strong, 
neither  yet  bread  to  the  wise,  nor 
yet  riches  to  men  of  understand-

1 Observations  of  wisdom  andfollg:  16  of  riot,  18  sloth- 
fulness, 19  and  money.  20  Men’s  thoughts  of  kings  ought 
to  be  reverent. 

Dead  ® flies  cause  the  ointment 
of  the  apothecary  to  send  forth 
a stinking  savour : so  doth  a little 
folly  him  that  is  in  reputation  for 
wisdom  and  honour. 

2  A wise  man’s  heart  is  at  his 
right  hand;  but  a fool’s  heart  at 
his  left. 

3  Yea  also,  when  he  that  is  a fool 
walketh  by  the  way,  ®his  wisdom 
faileth  him,^3jn.&  he  saith  to  every 
one  that  he  is  a fool. 

4  If  the  spirit  of  the  ruler  rise  up 
against  thee,  ^leave  not  thy  place ; 
for  “ yielding  pacifieth  great  of- 
fences. 

5  There  is  an  evil  which  I have 
seen  under  the  sun,  as  an  error 
which  proceedeth  ^from  the  ruler : 
6 * Folly  is  set  ^in  great  dignity, 
and  the  rich  sit  in  low  place.

CHAPTER  11. 

1 Directions  for  charity.  7 Death  in  life,  9 and  the  day  of 
judgment  in  the  days  of  youth,  are  to  be  thought  on. 

CAST  thy  bread  ^'upon^  the  wa- 
ters: *for  thou  shalt  find  it 
after  many  days. 

2  “Give  a portion  *to  seven,  and 
also  to  eight;  *for  thou  knowest  not 
what  evil  shall  be  upon  the  earth. 

3  If  the  clouds  be  full  of  rain,  they 
empty  themselves  upon  the  earth : 
and  if  the  tree  fall  toward  the 
south,  or  toward  the  north,  in  the 
place  where  the  tree  falleth,  there 
it  shall  be.  , • , i 

4  He  that  observeth  the  wind  shau 
not  sow;  and  he  that  regardeth  the 
clouds  shall  not  reap. 

5  As  ®thou  knowest  not  what  is 
the  way  of  the  spirit,  ^nor  how  the 
bones  do  grow  in  the  womb  of  her 
that  is  with  child:  even  so  thou 
knowest  not  the  works  of  God  who 
maketh  all.

and  in  the  evening  withhold  not 
thine  hand:  for  thou  knowest  not 
whether  ^ shall  prosper,  either  this 
or  that,  or  whetner  they  both  shall 
he  alike  good. 

7 H Truly  the  light  is  sweet,  and 
a pleasant  thing  it  is  for  the  eyes 
*’to  behold  the  sun: 

8 But  if  a man  live  many  years, 
and  rejoice  in  them  all;  yet  let 
him  remember  the  days  or  dark- 
ness ; for  they  shah  be  many.  All 
that  cometh  is  vanity. 

9 H Rejoice,  O young  man,  in 
thy  youth  ; and  let  thy  heart  cheer 
thee  in  the  days  of  thy  youth,  ® and 
walk  in  the  ways  of  thine  heart, 
and  in  the  sight  of  thine  eyes  : 
but  know  thou,  that  for  all  these 
things  *God  will  bring  thee  int;o 
judgment. 

10  Therefore  remove  ^ sorrow  from 
thy  heart,  and  ^ put  away  evil  from 
thy  flesh : ™ for  childhood  and 
youth  are  vanity.

preacher  all  is  vanity. 

9 And  ^moreover,  because  the 
preacher  was  wise,  he  still  taught 
the  people  knowledge  ; yea,  he  gave 
good  heed,  and  sought  out,  and  ”set 
in  order  many  proverbs. 

10  The  preacher  sought  to  find  out 
^acceptable  words : and  that  which 
was  written  was  upright,  even  words 
of  truth. 

11  The  words  of  the  wise  are  as 
goads,  and  as  nails  fastened  by  the 
masters  of  assemblies,  which  are 
given  from  one  shepherd.

be  admonished  : of  making  many 
books  there  is  no  end  ; and  ® much 
® study  is  a weariness  of  the  flesh. 

13  H ®Let  us  hear  the  conclusion 
of  the  whole  matter:  ’’Fear  God, 
and  keep  his  commandments  : for 
this  is  the  whole  duty  of  man. 

14  For  ^God  shall  bring  every 
work  into  judgment,  with  everi, 
secret  thing,  whether  it  he  good, 
or  whether  it  be  evil.

it  is  the  voice  of  my  beloved  "that 
knocketh,  saying,  Open  to  me,  my 
sister,  my  love,  my  dove,  my  un-

8 sweet  smelling  myrrh,  upon  the 
handles  of  the  lock.

beloved  had  withdrawn  himself,  and 
was  gone : my  soul  failed  when  he 
spake:  "I  sought  him,  but  I could 
not  find  him ; I called  him,  but  he 
gave  me  no  answer.

14  His  hands  are  as  gold  rings  set 
with  the  beryl : his  belly  is  as  bright 
ivory  overlaid  with  sapphires. 

15  His  legs  are  as  pillars  of  mar- 
ble, set  upon  sockets  of  fine  gold : 
his  countenance  is  as  Leb-a-n5n, 
excellent  as  the  cedars.

CHAPTER  3. 

1 The  great  confusion  which  cometh  by  sin.  9 The  impur 
dency  of  the  people.  12  The  oppression  and  covetousness 
of  the  rulers.  16  The  judgments  which  shall  be  for  the 
pride  of  the  women. 

For,  behold,  the  Lord,  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  -^doth  take  away  from 
JAru-sa-l6m  and  from  Ju-dah  ^the 
stay  and  the  staff,  the  whole  stay  of 
bread,  and  the  whole  stay  of  water, 

2 The  mighty  man,  and  the  man 
of  war,  the  judge,  and  the  prophet, 
and  the  prudent,  and  the  ancient, 

3 The  captain  of  fifty,  and  Hhe 
honourable  man,  and  the  f^un- 
sellor,  and  the  cunning  artificer, 
and  the  ^eloquent  orator. 

4 And  I will  give  ^ children  to  be 
their  princes,  and  babes  shall  rule 
over  them.  , „ i 

5 And  the  people  shall  be  op- 
pressed, every  one  by  another,  and 
every  one  by  his  neighbour ; the 
child  shall  behave  himself  proudly 
against  the  ancient,  and  the  base 
against  the  honourable.  , , , „ 

6 When  a man  shall  take  hold  or 
his  brother  of  the  house  of  his 
father,  saying,  Thou  hast  clothing, 
be  thou  our  ruler,  and  let  this  ruin 
be  under  thy  hand : 

7 In  that  day  shall  he  mwear,  say- 
ing, I will  not  be  an  ® healer ; for 
in  my  house  is  neither  bread  nor 
clothing:  make  me  not  a ruler  of 

the  people. . 

8 For  ^'JAru-sa-lem  is  ruined,  and 
Ju-dah  is  fallen:  because  their 
tongue  and  their  doings  are  against 
the  Lord,  to  provoke  the  eyes  of  his 
glory. 

9 ^ The  shew  of  their  countenance 
doth  witness  against  them ; and  they 
declare  their  sin  as  Sbd-bm,  they  hide 
it  not.  Woe  unto  their  soul ! for  they 
have  rewarded  evil  unto  themselves. 

10  Say  ye  to  the  righteous,  that 
it  shall  be  well  with  him:  for  they 
shall  eat  the  fruit  of  their  doings. 

11  Woe  unto  the  wicked  ! shall 
be  ill  with  him:  for  the  reward  of  his 
hands  shall  be  ^ given  him. 

12  U As  for  my  people,  children 
are  their  oppressors,  and  women 
rule  over  them.  O my  people,  Hhey 
which  lead  thee  cause  thee  to  err, 
and  ^destroy  the  way  of  thy  paths. 

1 3 The  Lord  standeth  up  “to  plead, 
and  standeth  to  judge  the  people.

ment  with  the  ancients  of  his  peo- 
ple, and  the  princes  thereof:  for 
ye  have  ^ eaten  up  the  vineyard; 
the  spoil  of  the  poor  is  in  your 
houses. 

15  What  mean  ye  that  ye  ^beat 
my  people  to  pieces,  and  grind  the 
faces  of  the  poorl  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  hosts. 

16  U Moreover  the  Lord  saith. 
Because  the  daughters  of  Zi-6n  are 
haughty,  and  walk  with  stretched 
forth  necks  and  ^wanton  eyes,  walk- 
ing and  ^mincing  as  they  go,  and 
making  a tinkling  with  their  feet : 

17  Therefore  the  Lord  will  smite 
with  ®a  scab  the  crown  of  the  head 
of  the  daughters  of  Zi-5n,  and  the 
Lord  will  discover’’^  their  secret 
parts. 

18  In  that  day  the  Lord  will  take 

away  the  bravery  of  their  tinkling 
ornaments  their  feet,  and  their 

®cauls,  and  their  ®round  tires  like  the 
moon, 

19  The  ^chains,  and  the  bracelets, 
and  the  ^mufflers, 

20  The  bonnets,  and  the  ornaments 
of  the  legs,  and  the  headbands,  and 
the  ^tablets,  and  the  earrings, 

21  The  rings,  and  nose  jewels, 

22  The  changeable  suits  of  apparel, 
and  the  mantles,  and  the  wimples, 
and  the  crisping  pins, 

23  The  glasses,  and  the  fine  linen, 
and  the  hoods,  and  the  vails. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
instead  of  sweet  smell  there  shall 
be  stink  ; and  instead  of  a girdle  a 
rent;  and  instead  of  well  set  hair 
baldness ; and  instead  of  a stom- 
acher a girding  of  sackcloth ; and 
burning  instead  of  beauty. 

25  Thy  men  shall  fall  by  the  sword, 
and  thy  ® mighty  in  the  war. 

26  And  her  gates  shall  lament  and 
mourn ; and  she  being  ® desolate 
shall  sit  upon  the  ground. 

CHAPTER  4. 

In  the  extremity  of  evils,  Christ’s  kingdom  shall  be  a 
sanctuary. 

AND  in  that  day  seven  women 
AjL  shall  take  hold  of  one  man, 
saying.  We  will  eat  our  own  bread, 
and  wear  our  own  apparel : only 
^ let  us  be  called  by  thy  name.  to 
take  away  our  reproach. 

2 In  that  day  snail  *the  branch  of 
the  Lord  be  ^beautiful  and  glorious, 
and  the  fruit  of  the  earth  shall  be 
excellent  and  comely  ®for  them  that 
are  escai)ed  of  Is-ra-M. 

3 And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
he  that  is  left  in  Zi-5n,  and  he  that 
remaineth  in  JAru-sa-l6m,  shall  be 
called  holy,  even  every  one  that  is

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Under  the  parable  of  a vineyard  God  exeuseth  his  severe 

judgment.  8 His  Judgments  upon  covetousness,  13  upon 

impiety,  20  and  upon  injustice. 

lyrOW  will  I sing  to  my  well- 
ly  beloved  a song  of  my  beloved 
touching  -^his  vineyard.  My  well- 
beloved  hath  a vineyard  in  ^a  very 
fruitful  hill : 

2 And  he  '‘fenced  it,  and  gathered 
out  the  stones  thereof,  and  planted 
it  with  the  choicest  vine,  and  built 
a tower  in  the  midst  of  it,  and  also 
®made  a winepress  therein:  ^and  he 
looked  that  it  should  bring  forth 
grapes,  and  it  brought  forth  wild 
grapes. 

3 And  now,  O inhabitants  of  Je- 
ru-sa-lem,  and  men  of  Ju-dah, 

judge,  I pray  you,  betwixt  me 
and  my  vineyard. 

4 What  could  have  been  done 
more  to  my  vineyard,  that  I have 
not  done  in  iti  wherefore,  when 
I looked  that  it  should  bring 
forth  grapes,  brought  it  forth  wild 
grapes'? 

5 And  now  go  to ; I will  tell  you 
what  I will  do  to  my  vineyard : *T 
will  take  away  the  hedge  thereof, 
and  it  shall  be  eaten  up ; and  break 
down  the  wall  thereof,  and  it  shall 
be  ^trodden  down: 

6 And  I will  lay  it  waste : it  shall 
not  be  pruned,  nor  digged;  but  there 
shall  come  up  briers  and  thorns : I 
will  also  command  the  clouds  that 
they  rain  no  rain  upon  it. 

7 For  the  vineyard  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts  is  the  house  of  Is-ra-6l,  and 
the  men  of  Ju-dah  ^his  pleasant 

Elant : and  he  looked  for  judgment, 
ut  behold  ® oppression;  for  right- 
eousness, but  behold  a cry. 

8  H Woe  unto  them  that  join  * house 
to  bouse,  that  lay  field  to  field,  till 
there  be  no  place,  that  '^they  may

with  speed  swiftly :

nor  sleep ; neither  shall  the  gircue 
of  their  loins  be  loosed,  nor  the

lions : yea,  they  shall  roar,  and  lay 
hold  of  the  prey,  and  shall  carry  it 
away  safe,  and  none  shall  dehver  it. 

30  And  in  that  day  they  shall  roar 

against  them  like  the  roaring  of  the

CHAPTER  6. 

1 Isaiah,  in  a vision  of  the  Lord  in  his  glory,  5 bein^ 
terrified,  is  confirmed  for  his  message.  9 He  sheweth 
the  obstinacy  of  the  people  unto  their  desolation.  13  A 
remna/nt  ihall  he  ^ 

IN  the  year  that  king  U z-zi-ah  died 
I *saw  also  the  Lord  sitting  upon 
a throne,  high  and  lifted  up,  and 
^his  train  filled  the  temple. 

2 Above  it  stood  the  ser-a-phim? : 
each  one  had  six  wings ; with  twain 
he  covered  his  face,  and  'with  twain 
he  covered  his  feet,  and  with  twain 
he  did  fly.

at  the  voice  of  him  that  cried,  and 
the  house  was  filled  with  smoke. 

5 ^ "Then  said  I,  Woe  is  me ! for 
I am  ''undone ; because  I am  a man 
of  unclean  lips,  and  I dwell  in  the 
midst  of  a people  of  unclean  lips : 
for  mine  eyes  nave  seen  the  King,

hand,  which  he  had  taken  with  the 

tongs  from  off  “the  altar : 

7 And  he  *laid^  upon  my  mouth, 
and  said,  Lo,  this  hath  touched  thy 
lips ; and  thine  iniquity  is  taken 
away,  and  thy  sin  purged. 

8 Also  I heard  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  saying.  Whom  shall  I send, 
and  who  will  go  for  us  1 Then  said 
I,  ^Here  am  I;  send  me. 

9 U And  he  said,  Go,  and  tell  this 

Seople,  Hear  ye  indeed,  but  un- 
erstand  not ; and  see  ye  ’ indeed, 
but  perceive  not. 

10  Make  the  heart  of  this  people 
fat,  and  make  their  ears  heavy,  and 
shut  their  eyes ; lest  they  see  with 
their  eyes,  and  hear  with  their  ears, 
and  understand  with  their  heart, 
and  convert,  and  be  healed. 

11  Then  said  I,  Lord,  how  long? 
And  he  answered.  Until  the  cities 
be  wasted  without  inhabitant,  and 
the  houses  without  man,  and  the 
land  be  ^utterly  desolate,

®and  it  shall  return,  and  shall  be 
eaten : as  a teil  tree,  and  as  an  oak, 
whose  ^substance  is  in  them,  when 
they  cast  their  leaves:  so  the  holy 
seed  shall  he  the  substance  thereof. 

CHAPTER  7. 

1 Xhaz,  being  troubled,  is  comforted  by  Isaiah.  10  Ahaz, 
having  liberty  to  choose  a sign,  and  refusing  it,  hath  for 
a sign,  Christ  promised.  17  His  judgment  is  prophesied 
to  come  by  Assyria. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days 
XX  of  A-haz  the  son  of  Jo-tham, 
the  son  of  TTz-zi-ah,  king  of  Ju-dah, 
that  Re-zin  the  king  of  Syr-i-a,  and 
Pe-kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li-ah,  king 
of  Is-ra-el,  went  up  toward  Je-ru- 
sa-l6m  to  war  against  it,  but  could 
not  prevail  against  it. 

2_And  it  was  told  the  house  of 
DaMd,  saying,  Syrh-a  ®is  confed- 
erate with  E-phra-im.  And  his 
heart  was  moved,  and  the  heart  of 
his  people,  as  the  trees  of  the  wood 
are  moved  with  the  wind. 

3 Then  said  the  Loed  unto  I-sahah, 
Go  forth  now  to  meet  A-haz,'  tliou, 
and  She-ar-jash-ub  thy  son,  at  the 
end  of  the  conduit  of  the  upper  pool 
in  the  ® highway  of  the  fuller’s  field ; 
4 And  say  unto  him.  Take  heed, 
and  be  quiet ; fear  not,  ^ neither  be 
fainthearted  for  the  two  tails  of 
these  smoking  firebrands,  for  the 
fierce  anger  of  Re-zin  with  Syr4-a, 
and  of  the  son  of  Rem-a-ll-ah. 

5  Because  S^-i-a,  E-phra-im,  and 
the  son  of  R6m-a-li-ah,  have  taken 
evil  counsel  against  thee,  saying.

or  in  the  height  above. 

12  But  A-haz  said,  I will  not  ask,

house  of  Da-vid ; Is  it  a small  thing 
for  you  to  weary  men,  but  will  ye 
weary  my  God  also  %

to  refuse  the  evil,  and  choose  the 
good,  the  land  that  thou  abhorrest 
shall  be  forsaken  of  *both  her

17  U ^'The  Loed  shall  bring  upon 
thee,  and  upon  thy  people,  and

have  not  come,  from  the  day  that 
EChra-im  departed  from  Ju-dah; 
even  the  king  of  As-syr-i-a. 

18  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  the  Loed  shall  hiss 
for  the  fly  that  is  in  the  uttermost 
part  of  the  rivers  of  ECypt,  and 
for  the  bee  that  is  in  the  land  ol

1 In  Maher-shalal-hash-baz,  he  prophegieth  that  Syria  and 
Israel  shall  be  subdued  by  Assyria.  5 Judah  also  for 
their  infidelity.  9 God's  judgments  shall  be  unresistible. 
11  Comfort  shall  be  to  them  that  fear  God.  19  Great

to me.  Take  thee  a great  roll, 
and  write  in  it  with  a man’s  pen 
concerning  ^ Ma-her-shal-al-hash-

2 And  I took  unto  me  faithful

priest,  and  Zech-a-rl-ah  the  son  of 
J e-ber-e-chi-ah. 

3 And  I ^went  unto  the  prophet-

knowledge  to  cry.  My  father,  and

7 Now  therefore,  behold,  the  Lord 
bringeth  up  upon  them  the  waters 
of  the  river,  strong  and  many,  even 
Hhe  king  of  As-syr-i-a,  and  all  his 
glory : and  he  shall  come  up  over

ISAIAH,  14. 


The  restoration  of  Israel. 


4 The  noise  of  a multitude  in  the 
mountains,  ^like  as  of  a great  peo 
pie ; a tumultuous  noise  of  the  king 
doms  of  nations  gathered  together 
the  Lord  of  hosts  mustereth  the 
host  of  the  battle. 

5 They  come  from  a far  country, 
from  the  end  of  heaven,  even  the 
Lord,  and  ^e  weapons  of  his  indig 
nation,  to  destroy  the  whole  land. 

6 H Howl  ye ; ‘^for  the  day  of  the 
Lord  is  at  hand  ; ®it  shall  come  as 
a destruction  from  the  Almighty. 

7_  Therefore  shall  all  hands  ^be 
faint,  and  every  man’s  heart  shall 
melt  : 

8 And  they  shall  be  afraid : pangs 
and  sorrows  shall  take  hold  of  them ; 
they  shall  be  in  pain  as  a woman 
that  travaileth:  they  shall  ®be  a- 
mazed  ^one  at  another ; their  faces 
shall  he  as  ^flames. 

9 Behold,  ^the  day  of  the  Lord 
cometh,  cruel  both  with  wrath  and 
fierce  anger,  to  lay  the  land  deso- 
late : and  he  shall  destroy  * the 
sinners  thereof  out  of  it. 

10  For  the  stars  of  heaven  and  the 
constellations  thereof  shall  not  give 
their  light : the  sun  shall  be  dark- 
ened in  his  going  forth,  and  the 
moon  shall  not  cause  her  light  to 
shine. 

11  And  I will  punish  the  world 
iov  their  evil,  and  the  wicked  for 
their  iniquity ; and  I will  cause  the 
arrogancy  of  the  proud  to  cease,  and 
will  lay  low  the  haughtiness  of  the 
terrible.  ^ 

12  I will  make  a man  more  pre- 
cious than  fine  gold;  even  a man 
than  the  golden  wedge  of  O-phir. 

13  ^Therefore  I will  shake  the 
heavens,  and  the  earth  shall  remove 
out  of  her  place,  in  the  wrath  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  and  in  ’’the  day  of 
his  fierce  anger. 

14  And  it  shall  be  as  the  chased 
roe,  and  as  a sheep  that  no  man 
taketh  up  : Hhey  shall  every  man 
turn  to  his  own  people,  and  flee 
every  one  into  his  own  land. 

15  Every  one  that  is  found  shall 
thrust  through ; and  every  one 

that  is  joined  unto  them  shall  fall 
by  the  sword. 

16  Their  children  also  shall  be 
*' dashed  to  pieces  before  their  eyes; 
their  houses  shall  be  spoiled,  and 
their  wives  ravished. 

17  ^Behold,  I will  stir  up  the 
Medes  against  them,  which  shall 
not  regard  silver  ; and  as  for  gold, 
they  shall  not  delight  in  it. 

18  Their  bows  also  shall  dash  the 
young  men  to  pieces ; and  they 
‘mail  have  no  pity  on  the  fruit  of

1 God's  merciful  restoration  of  Israel.  4 Their  triumphant 

insultation  over  Babel.  24  God's  purpose  against  Assyria. 

29  Palestina  is  threatened. 

For  the  Lord  ^will  have  mercy 
on  Ja-e^)b,  and  "'will  yet  choose 
Is-ra-gl,  and  set  them  in  their  own 
land : " and  the  strangers  shall  be 
joined  with  them,  and  they  shall 
cleave  to  the  house  of  Ja-eDb. 

2 And  the  people  shall  take  them, 
“and  bring  them  to  their  place  : and 
the  house  of  Is-rAel  shall  possess 
them  in  the  land  of  the  Lord  for 
servants  and  handmaids  : and  they 
shall  take  them  captives,  ^ whose 
captives  thej^  were ; ^and  they  shall 
rule  over  their  oppressors. 

3 And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the 
day  that  the  Lord  shall  give  thee 
rest  from  thy  sorrow,  and  from  thy 
fear,  and  from  the  hard  bondage 
wherein  thou  wast  made  to  serve, 
4 51  That  thou  *shalt  take  up  this 
® proverb  against  the  king  of  Bab-y-

sor ceased ! the  “golden®  city  ceased ! 
5 The  Lord  hath  broken  "'the  staff 
of  the  wicked,  and  the  sceptre  of 
the  rulers. 

6 He  who  smote  the  people  in 
wrath  with  '^a  continual  stroke,  he 
that  ruled  the  nations  in  anger,  is 
persecuted,  and  none  hindereth.

hath  raised  up  from  their  thrones 
all  the  kings  of  the  nations. 

10  All  they  shall  speak  and  say 
unto  thee.  Art  thou  also  become

11  Thy  pomp  is  brought  down  to 
the  grave,  and  the  noise  of  thy 
viols:  the  worm  is  spread  under 
thee,  and  the  worms  cover  thee. 

12  *How  art  thou  fallen  from 

heaven,  ^ O Lu-91-fer,  son  of  the 
morning ! how  art  thou  cut  down 
to  the  ground,  which  didst  weaken 
the  nations ! , , . 

13  For  thou  hast  said  in  thine 
heart,  ^I  will  ascend  into  heaven, 

will  exalt  my  throne  above  the 
stars  of  God : I will  sit  also  upon 
the  mount  of  the  congregation,  ^in

of  the  clouds;  G will  be  like  the

15  Yet  thou  *shalt  be  brought 
down  to  hell,  to  the  sides  of  the  pit. 

16  They  that  see  thee  shall  nar- 
rowly look  upon  thee,  and  consider 
thee,  saying,  Is  this  the  man  that 
made  the  earth  to  tremble,  that  did 
shake  kingdoms ; 

17  That  made  the  world  as  a wil- 
derness, and  destroyed  the  cities 
thereof ; that  ’^opened  not  the  house 
of  his  prisoners  % 

18  All  the  kings  of  the  nations, 
even  all  of  them,  lie  in  glory,  every 
one  in  his  own  house. 

19  But  thou  art  cast  out  of  thy 
grave  like  an  abominable  branch, 
and  as  the  raiment  of  those  that  are 
slain,  thrust  through  with  a sword, 
that  go  down  to  the  stones  of  the 
pit ; as  a carcase  trodden  under  feet. 

20  Thou  shalt  not  be  joined  with 
them  in  burial,  because  thou  hast 
destroyed  thy  land,  and  slain  thy 
people : ^the  seed  of  evildoers  shall 
never  be  renowned. 

21  Prepare  slaughter  for  his  chil 
dren  ’’for  the  iniquity  of  their  fa- 
thers ; that  they  do  not  rise,  nor 
possess  the  land,  nor  fill  the  face  of 
the  world  with  cities. 

22  For  I will  rise  up  against  them, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  cut  off 
from  Bab-y-l5n  * the  name,  and 

remnant,  *and  son,  and  nephew, 
saith  the  Lord.

laid  waste,  brought  to  silence ; 
2 He  is  gone  up  to  Ba-jith,  and  to

over  M6d-6-ba : «on  all  their  heads 
shall  he  baldness,  and  every  beard 

cut  off.  , . . 1

1 Moah  is  exhorted  to  yield  obedience  to  Christ's  kingdom.

C|END'‘  ye  the  lamb  to  the  ruler 
lO  of  the  land  *from  ®Se-la  to  the 
wilderness,  unto  the  mount  of  the 
daughter  of  Zidn. 

2 For  it  shall  be,  that,  as  a wan- 
dering bird  ^cast  out  of  the  nest, 
so  the  daughters  of  Mo-ab  shall  be 
at  the  fords  of  ^Ardbn. 

3 ®Take  counsel,  execute  judg- 
ment ; make  thy  shadow  as  the 
night  in  the  midst  of  the  noonday ; 
hide  the  outcasts ; bewray  not  him 
that  wandereth. 

4 Let  mine  outcasts  dwell  with 
thee,  Mo-ab:  be  thou  a covert  to 
them  from  the  face  of  the  spoiler : 
for  the  ^extortioner  is  at  an  end, 
the  spoiler  cease th,  ^the  oppressors 
are  consumed  out  of  the  land. 

5 And  in  mercy  ‘'shall  the  throne 
be  ^established  : and  he  shall  sit 
ujwn  it  in  truth  in  the  tabernacle  of 
Da-vid,  ® judging,  and  seeking  judg- 
ment, and  hasting  righteousness. 

6 11  We  have  heard  of  the  ''pride 
of  Mo^ab ; he  is  very  proud : even 
of  his  haughtiness,  and  his  pride, 
and  his  wrath : * but  his  lies  shall 
not  be  so. 

7 Therefore  shall  Mo-ab  “howl  for 
Mo-ab,  every  one  shall  howl : for 
the  foundations  of  ^Kir-har-e-seth 
shall  ye  ^ mourn ; surely  they  are

mer fruits  and  for  thy  harvest  is 
fallen. 

10  And  ‘^gladness  is  taken  away, 
and  joy  out  of  the  plentiful  field; 
and  in  the  vineyards  there  shall  be 
no  singing,  neither  shall  there  be 
shouting : the  treaders  shall  tread 
out  no  wine  in  their  presses ; I 
have  made  their  vintage  shouting 
to  cease. 

11  Wherefore  ®my  bowels  shall 
sound  like  an  harp  for  Mo-ab,  and 
mine  inward  parts  for  Kir-ha-resh. 

12  1I_And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  it  is  seen  that  Mo-ab  is  weary 
on  ^the  high  place,  that  he  shall 
come  to  his  sanctuary  to  pray  ; but 
he  shall  not  prevail. 

13  This  is  the  word  that  the  Loed 
hath  spoken  concerning  Mo-ab  since 
that  time. 

14  But  now  the  Loed  hath  spoken, 
saying,  Within  three  years,  *as  the 
years  of  an  hireling,  and  the  glory 
of  Mo-ab  shall  be  contemned,  with 
all  that  great  multitude;  and  the 
remnant  shall  be  very  small  and 
® feeble.

verse spirit  in  the  midst  thereof :

15  Neither  shall  there  be  any  work 
for  E-gypt,  which  *the  head  or  tail, 
branch  or  rush,  may  do. 

16  In  that  day  shall  E-gypt  *be 
like  unto  women:  and  it  shall  be 
afraid  and  fear  because  of  the  shak-

maketh  mention  thereof  shall  be 
afraid  in  himself,  because  of  the 
counsel  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  which 
he  hath  determined  against  it. 

18  In  that  day  shall  five  cities 
in  the  land  of  E-gypt  ® speak  Hhe 
language  of  Da-naan,  and  swear  to 
the  Lord  of  hosts ; one  shall  be

for  a witness  unto  the  Lord  of  hosts 
in  the  land  of  E-gypt:  for  they 
chall  cry  unto  the  Lord  because  of 
the  oppressors,  and  he  shall  send 
them  a saviour,  and  a great  one,  and 
he  shall  deliver  them. 

21  And  the  Lord  shall  be  known 
to  E-gypt,  and  the  E-gyp-tians  shall 
know  the  Lord  in  that  day,  and

CHAPTER  22. 

1 The  prophet  lamenteth  the  invasion  of  Jewry  by  the 
Persians.  8 He  reproveth  their  human  wisdom  and 
worldly  joy.  15  He  prophesieth  Shebna's  deprivation, 

20  amd  Eliakim,  prefiguring  the  kingdom  of  Christ, 
his  substitution. 

The  burden  of  the  valley  of 
vision.  What  aileth  thee  now, 
that  thou  art  whoUy  gone  up  to 
the  housetops  % 

2 Thou  that  art  full  of  stirs,  a 
tumultuous  city,  -^a  joyous  city: 
thy  slain  men  are  not  slain  with 
the  sword,  nor  dead  in  battle. 

3 All  thy  rulers  are  fled  together, 
they  are  bound  ^by  the  archers:  all 
that  are  found  in  thee  are  bound 
together,  which  have  fled  from  far. 

4 Therefore  said  I,  Look  away  from 
me;  '‘P  will  weep  bitterly,  labour 
not  to  comfort  me,  because  of  the 
spoiling  of  the  daughter  of  my 
people. 

5 *For  it  is  a day  of  trouble,  and  of 
treading  down,  and  of  perplexity 
^by  the  Lord  God  of  hosts  in  the 
valley  of  vision,  breaking  down  the 
walls,  and  of  crying  to  the  moun- 
tains. 

6 "And  E-lam  bare  the  quiver  with 
chariots  of  men  and  horsemen,  and 
Kir  ’uncovered  the  shield. 

7 And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
^thy  choicest  valleys  shall  be  full  of 
chariots,  and  the  horsemen  shall  set 
themselves  in  array  ’at  the  gate. 

8 ^ And  he  discovered  the  cover- 
ing of  Ju-dah,  and  thou  didst  look 
in  that  day  to  the  armour  '’of  the 
house  of  the  forest. 

9 *Ye  have  seen  also  the  breaches 
of  the  city  of  DaWid,  that  they  are 
many:  and  ye  gathered  together 
the  waters  of  the  lower  pool. 

10  And  ye  have^  numbered  the 
houses  of  JAru-sa-lSm,  and  the 
houses  have  ye  broken  down  to 
fortify  the  wall. 

1 1 “Ye  made  also  a ditch  between 
the  two  walls  for  the  water  of  the 
old  pool : but  ye  have  not  looked 
unto  the  maker  thereof,  neither  had 
respect  unto  him  that  fashioned  it 

jSd  in  that  day  did  the  Lord 
God  of  h9st8  ^'call  to  weeping,  and 
to  mourning,  and  *to  baldness,  and 
to  girding  with  sackcloth : 

13  And  behold  joy  and  gladness, 
slaying  oxen,  and  killing  sheep,  eat- 
ing flesh,  and  drinking  wine:  4et 
us  eat  and  drink;  for  to  morrow 
we  shall  die.  , , .

ears  by  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Surely

this  iniquity  “shall  not  be  purged 
from  you  till  ye  die,  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  hosts. 

15  H Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
hosts,  Go,  get  thee  unto  this  treas- 
urer, even  unto  ‘'Sheb-na,  which  is 
over  the  house,  and  say, 

16  What  hast  thou  here"?  and 
whom  hast  thou  here,,  that  thou 
hast  hewed  thee  out  a sepulchre 
here,  ^as  he  ‘^that  heweth  him  out 
a sepulchre  on  high,  and  that  grav- 
eth  an  habitation  tor  himself  in  a 
rock  1 

17  Behold,  ^ the  Lord  will  carry 
thee  away  with  ^a  mighty  captivity, 
^ and  will  surely  cover  thee. 

18  He  will  surely  violently  turn 
and  toss  thee  like  a ball  into  a ^ large 
country : there  shalt  thou  die,  and 
there  the  chariots  of  thy  glory  shall 
be  the  shame  of  thy  lord’s  house. 

I 1 9 And  I will  drive  thee  from  thy 
station,  and  from  thy  state  shall  he 
pull  thee  down. 

20  U And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
; that  day,  that  I will  call  my  serv- 
1 ant  *E-h-a-kim  the  son  of  Hil-ki-ah : 

21  And  I will  clothe  him  with  thy 
I robe,  and  strengthen  him  with  thy 
I girdle,  and  I will  commit  thy  gov- 
! ernment  into  his  hand : and  he 
I shall  be  a father  to  the  inhabitants 
: of  Je-ru-sa-lgm,  and  to  the  house 
; of  J u-dah. 

22  And  the  key  of  the  house  of 
Da-vid  will  I lay  upon  his  shoulder ; 
so  he  shall  *open,  and  none  shall 
shut ; and  he  shall  shut,  and  none 

, shall  open. 

23  And  I will  fasten  him  as  ^a 
nail  in  a sure  place ; and  he  shall 
be  for  a glorious  throne  to  his 
father’s  house. 

24  And  they  shall  hang  upon  him 
all  the  glory  of  his  father’s  house, 
the  offspring  and  the  issue,  all 
vessels  of  small  quantity,  from  the 
vessels  of  cups,  even  to  all  the 
^vessels  of  flagons. 

25  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of 
' hosts,  shall  the  nail  that  is  fastened 

in  the  sure  place  be  removed,  and 
be  cut  down,  and  fall ; and  the  bur- 
den that  teas  upon  it  shall  be  cut 
off:  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it.

4 Be  thou  ashamed,  O Zi-d6n : for 
the  sea  hath  spoken,  even  the 
strength  of  the  sea,  saying,  I tra- 
vail not,  nor  bring  forth  children, 
neither  do  I nourish  up  young  men, 
nor  bring  up  virgins. 

5 ®As  at  the  report  concerning 
E-gypt,  so  shall  they  be  sorely 
pained  at  the  report  of  Tyre. 

6 Pass  ye  over  to  Tar-shlsh;  howl, 
ye  inhabitants  of  the  isle. 

7 Is  this  your  joyous  city,  whose 
antiquity  is  of  ancient  days'?  her 
own  feet  shall  carry  her  ®afar  off  to

against  Tyre,  ^the  crowning  city, 
whose  merchants  are  princes,  whose 
traffickers  are  the  honourable  of

9 The  Lord  of  hosts  hath  purposed 
it,  ®to  stain  the  pride  of  all  glory, 
and  to  bring  into  contempt  all  the 
honourable  of  the  earth. 

10  Pass  through  thy  land  as  a 
river,  O daughter  of  Tar-shlsh : there 
is  no  more  "^strength. 

1 1 He  stretched  out  his  hand  over 
the  sea,  he  shook  the  kingdoms: 
the  Lord  hath  given  a command- 
ment ^against  ^the  merchant  city, 
to  destroy  the  ^strong  holds  thereof. 

12  And  he  said,  *Thou  shalt  no 
more  rejoice,  O thou  oppressed  vir- 
gin, daughter  of  Zl-d6n : arise,  ”pass 
over  to  -Ghit-tim ; there  also  shalt 
thou  have  no  rest.

de-ans ; this  people  was  not,  till  the 
As-syr-i-an  founded  it  for  " them 
that  dwell  in  the  wilderness : they 
set  up  the  towers  thereof,  they 
raised  up  the  palaces  thereof ; and 
he  brought  it  to  ruin. 

14  ^Howl,  ye  ships  of  Tar-shish: 
for  your  strength  is  laid  waste. 

15  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  Tyre  shall  be  for- 
gotten seventy  years,  according  to 
the  days  of  one  king : after  the  end 
of  seventy  years  ® shall  Tyre  sing

shall  advance  his  kingdom. 

Behold,  the  Lord  maketh  the 
earth  empty,  and  maketh  it 
waste,  and  Hurneth  it  upside  down, 
and  scattereth  abroad  the  inhabit- 
ants thereof.  . , , ,

taker  of  usury,  so  with  the  giver 
of  usury  to  him. 

3  The  land  shall  be  utterly  emp 
tied,  and  utterly  spoiled:  for  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  this  word. 

4  The  earth  mourneth  and  fadeth 
away,  the  world  languisheth  and 
fadeth  away,  ’the  haughty  people 
of  the  earth  do  languish. 

5  ^The  earth  also  is  defiled  under 
the  inhabitants  thereof ; because 
they  have  transgressed  the  laws, 
changed  the  ordinance,  broken  the 
everlasting  covenant. 

6  Therefore  hath  "^the  curse  de 
Voured  the  earth,  and  they  that 
dwell  therein  are  desolate : there- 
fore the  inhabitants  of  the  earth 
are  burned,  and  few  men  left. 

7  ‘’The  new  wine  mourneth,  the

hearted  do  sigh. 

8  The  mirth  ^of  tabrets  ceaseth, 
the  noise  of  them  that  rejoice  end- 
eth,  the  joy  of  the  harp  ceaseth.  ^ 

9  They  shall  not  drink  wine  with 
a song ; strong  drink  shall  be  bitter 
to  them  that  drink  it.  ^ , 

10  The  city  of  confusion  is  broken 
down : every  house  is  shut  up,  that 
no  man  may  come  in.

mirth  of  the  land  is  gone.  .

mountain  the  face  of  the  covering 
^cast  over  all  people,  and/ the  vail 
that  is  spread  over  all  nations. 

8 He  will  * swallow  w death  in  vic- 
tory; and  the  Lord  God  will  ^wipe 
away  tears  from  off  all  faces;  and 
the  rebuke  of  his  people  shall  he 
take  away  from  off  all  the  earth : 
for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

9 H And  it  shall  be  said  in  that 
day,  Lo,  this  is  our  God ; ^we  have 
waited  for  him,  and  he  will  save 
us : this  is  the  Lord  ; we  have 
waited  for  him,  ^ we  will  be  glad 
and  rejoice  in  his  salvation. 

10  For  in  this  mountain  shall  the 
hand  of  the  Lord  rest,  and  Mo-ab 
shall  be  ® trodden  down  under  him, 
even  as  straw  is  ® trodden  down  for 
the  dunghill. 

11  And  he  shall  spread  forth  his 
hands  in  the  midst  of  them,  as  he 
that  swimmeth  spreadeth  forth 
hands  to  swim : and  he  shall  bring 
down  their  pride  together  with  the 
spoils  of  their  hands. 

12  And  the  * fortress  of  the  high 
fort  of  thy  walls  shall  he  bring 
down,  lay  low,  and  bring  to  the 
ground,  even  to  the  dust.

12  and  for  his  favour  to  his  people.  20  An  exhortation  to

IN  * that  day  shall  this  song  be  sung

a strong  city ; ^ salvation  will  God

drunkenness.  5 The  residue  shall  be  advanced  in  the 
kingdom  of  Christ.  7 Be  rebuketh  their  error.  9 Their 
untowardness  to  learn,  14  and  their  security.  16  Christ

be  tried.  23  They  are  incited  to  the  consideration  of  God's

^ overcome  with  wine  ! 

2 Behold,  the  Lord  hath  a mighty 
and  strong  one,  ^ which  as  a tempest 
of  hail  and  a destroying  storm,  as 
a flood  of  mighty  waters  overflow- 
ing, shall  cast  down  to  the  earth 
with  the  hand. 

3 * The  crown  of  pride,  the  drunk- 
ards of  E-phra-im,  shall  be  trodden 
® under  feet : 

4  And  “the  glorious  beauty,  which 
is  on  the  head  of  the  fat  valley, 
shall  be  a fading  flower,  and  as  the 
hasty  fruit  before  the  summer; 
which  when  he  that  loqketh  upon

for  a diadem  of  beauty,  unto  the 
residue  of  his  people, 

6  And  for  a spirit  of  judgment  to 
him  that  sitteth  in  judgment,  and 
for  strength  to  them  that  turn  the

made  a covenant  with  death,  and 
with  hell  are  we  at  agreement ; when 
the  overflowing  scourge  shall  pass 
through,  it  shall  not  come  unto  us  : 
“^for  we  have  made  lies  our  refuge, 
and  under  falsehood  have  we  hid 
ourselves : 

1 6 U Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  Behold,  I lay  in  Zi-5n  for  a 
foundation  ®a  stone,  a tried  stone, 
a precious  corner  stone,  a sure  foun- 
dation : he  that  believeth  shall  not 
make  haste. 

17  Judginent  also  will  I lay  to  the 
line,  and  righteousness  to  the  plum- 
met : and  the  hail  shall  sweep  away 
* the  refuge  of  lies,  and  the  waters 
shall  overflow  the  hiding  place. 

18  U And  your  covenant  with 
death  shall  be  disannulled,  and 
your  agreement  with  hell  shall 
not  stand ; when  the  overflowing 
scourge  shall  pass  through,  then  ye 
shall  be  ^ trodden  down  by  it. 

19  From  the  time  that  it  goeth 
forth  it  shall  take  you : for  morn- 
ing by  morning  shall  it  pass  over, 
by  day  and  by  night : and  it  shall 
be  a vexation  only  ^to  understand 
the  report. 

20  For  the  bed  is  shorter  than 
that  a man  can  stretch  himself  on

that  he  can  wrap  himself  in  it.

in  mount  "Pgr-a-zim,  he  shall  be 
wroth  as  in  the  valley  of  ^Gib-6-5n,

1 God’s  heavy  judgment  upon  Jerusalem.  7 The  unsati-

WOE  -^to^  A-ri-el,  to  A-ri-el,  ^the 
city  ^ where  DaWid  dwelt ! 
add  ye  year  to  year ; let  them  ^ kill 
sacrifices. 

2  Yet  I will  distress  AYi-el,  and 
there  shall  be  heaviness  and  sorrow : 
and  it  shall  be  unto  me  as  AYi-61. 

3  And  I will  camp  against  thee 
round  about,  and  will  lay  siege 
against  thee  with  a mount,  and  I 
will  raise  forts  against  thee. 

4  And  thou  shalt  be  brought  down, 
and  shalt  speak  out  of  the  ground, 
and  thy  speech  shall  be  low  out  of 
the  dust,  and  thy  voice  shall  be,  as 
of  one  that  hath  a familiar  spirit, 
* out  of  the  ground,  and  thy  speech 
shall  ^ whisper  out  of  the  dust. 

5  Moreover  the  multitude  of  thy 
^ strangers  shall  be  like  small  dust, 
and  the  multitude  of  the  terrible 
ones  shall  he^d%  chaff  that  passe th 
away:  yea,  it  shall  be  ""at  an  in- 
stant suddenly. 

6  ’‘Thou  shalt  be  visited  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts  with  thunder,  and 
with  earthquake,  and  great  noise,

hungry  man  dreameth,  and,  behold, 
he  eateth;  but  he  awaketh.  and 
his  soul  is  empty:  or  as  when  a 
thirsty  man  dreameth,  and,  behold, 
he  drinketh  ; but  he  awaketh,  and, 
behold,  he  is  faint,  and  his  soul 
hath  appetite : so  shall  the  multi- 
tude of  all  the  nations  be,  that 
fight  against  mount  Zi-5n. 

9 51  Stay  yourselves,  and  won-

are  drunken,  ^but  not  with  wine ; 
they  stagger,  but  not  with  strong 
drink. 

10  For  ""the  Lord  hath  poured  out 
upon  you  the  spirit  of  deep  sleep, 
and  hath  "closed  your  eyes:  the 
prophets  and  your  ® rulers,  ^the

1 1 And  the  vision  of  all  is  become 
unto  you  as  the  words  of  a ^book 
^■that  is  sealed,  which  men  deliver 
to  one  that  is  learned,  saying.  Bead 
this,  I pray  thee : *and  he  saith,  I 
cannot;  for  it  is  sealed: 

12  And  the  book  is  delivered  to 
him  that  is  not  learned,  saying, 
Bead  this,  I pray  thee : and  he 
saith,  I am  not  learned. 

13  51  Wherefore  the  Lord  said, 
Forasmuch  as  this  people  draw 

near  me  with  their  mouth,  and  with 
their  lips  do  honour  me,  but  have 
removed  their  heart  far  from  me, 
and  their  fear  toward  me  is  taught 
by  *the  precept  of  men : 

14  * Therefore,  behold,  ®I  will  pro- 
ceed to  do  a marvellous  work  among 
this  people,  even  a marvellous  work 
and  a wonder : "for  the  wisdom  of 
their  wise  men  shall  perish,  and  the 
understanding  of  their  prudent  men 
shall  be  hid. 

15  "Woe  unto  them  that  seek  deep 
to  hide  their  counsel  from  the  Lord, 
and  their  works  are  in  the  dark, 
and  ^’they  say.  Who  seeth  usl  and 
who  knowetn  usl 

16  Surely  your  turning  of  things 
upside  down  shall  be  esteemed  as

8 H Now  go,  “write  it  before  them 
in  a table,  and  note  it  in  a book, 
that  it  may  be  for  ^the  time  to  come 
for  ever  and  ever : 

9 That  'this  is  a rebellious  people, 
lying  children,  children  that  will 
not  hear  the  law  of  the  Loed  : 

1 0 Which  say  to  the  seers,  See  not ; 
and  to  the  prophets.  Prophesy  not 
unto  us  right  things,  ® speak  unto  us 
smooth  things,  prophesy  deceits  : 

11  Get  you  out  of  the  way,  turn 
aside  out  of  the  path,  cause  the 
Holy  One  of  I§-ra-6l  to  cease  from 
before  us. 

1 2 Wherefore  thus  saith  the  Holy 
One  of  Is-ra-el,  Because  ye  despise 
this  word,  and  trust  in  ^ oppression 
and  perverseness,  and  stay  thereon  : 

13  Therefore  this  iniquity  shall  be 
to  you  ^as  a breach  ready  to  fall, 
swelling  out  in  a high  wall,  whose 
breaking  *cometh  suddenly  at  an 
instant. 

14  And  *he  shall  break  it  as  the 
iDreaking  of  ® the  potters’  vessel  that 
is  broken  in  pieces;  he  shall  not 
spare : so  that  there  shall  not  be 
found  in  the  bursting  of  it  a sherd 
to  take  fire  from  the  hearth,  or  to 
take  water  withal  out  of  the  pit. 

15  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  the 
Holy  One  of  Is-ra-6l ; ""  In  returning 
and  rest  shall  ye  be  saved  ; in  quiet- 
ness and  in  confidence  shall  be  your 
strength : ’^and  ye  would  not. 

16  But  ye  said.  No;  for  we  will 
flee  upon  horses;  therefore  shall 
ye  flee : and.  We  will  ride  upon  the 
swift ; therefore  shall  they  that  pur- 
sue you  be  swift. 

17  ^One  thousand  shall  flee  at  the 
rebuke  of  one ; at  the  rebuke  of  five 
shall  ye  flee:  till  ye  be  left  as  ^a 
beacon  upon  the  top  of  a mountain, 
and  as  an  ensign  on  an  hill. 

18  U And  therefore  will  the  Lord 
wait,  that  he  may  be  gracious  unto 
you,  and  therefore  will  he  be  ex- 
alted, that  he  may  have  mercy  upon 
you : for  the  Lord  is  a God  of  judg- 
ment: ’"blessed  are  all  they  that 
wait  for  him. 

^19  For  the  people  * shall  dwell  in 
Zi-5n  at  Je-ru-sa-l6m : thou  shalt 
weep  no  more:  he  will  be  very 
gracious  unto  thee  at  the  voice  of 
thy  cry ; when  he  shall  hear  it,  he 
will  answer  thee. 

20  And  though  the  Lord  give  you 
Hhe  bread  of  adversity,  and  the 
water  of  ® affliction,  yet  shall  not 
“thy  teachers  be  removed  into  a 
corner  any  more,  but  thine  eyes 
shall  see  thy  teachers : 

2 1 And  thine  ears  shall  hear  a word 
behind  thee,  saying,  This  is  the  way,

Folly  of  trusting  in  Fgypt. 


ISAIAH,  31,  32. 


Of  Christas  hingcKy^i. 


yea,  for  the  king  it  is  prepared  ; he 
natn  made  it  deep  and  large : the 
pile  thereof  is  fire  and  much  wood  ; 
the  breath  of  the  Loup,  like  a stream 
of  brimstone,  doth  kindle  it. 

CHAPTER  31. 

1 The  prophet  sheweth  the  cursed  folly  in  trusting  to  Egypt, 
and  forsaking  of  God.  6 He  exhortefh  to  conversion.  8 
He  sheweth  the  fall  of  Assyria. 

WOE  to  them  ‘’that  go  down  to 
E-gypt  for  help  ; and  ‘^stay  on 
horses,  and  trust  in  chariots,  because 
they  are  many ; and  in  horsemen, 
because  they  are  very  strong ; but 
they  look  not  unto  the  Holy  One  of 
Is-ra-6l,  ® neither  seek  the  Lord  ! 

2  Yet  he  also  is  wise,  and  will 
bring  evil,  and  •''will  not  ^call  back 
his  words : but  will  arise  against  the 
house  of  the  evildoers,  and  against 
the  help  of  them  that  work  iniquity. 

3  Now  the  E-gyp^tians  are  men, 
and  not  God ; and  their  horses  flesh, 
and  not  spirit.  When  the  Lord 
shall  stretch  out  his  hand,  both  he 
that  helpeth  shall  fall,  and  he  that 
is  holpen  shall  fall  down,  and  they 
all  shall  fail  together. 

4  For  thus  hath  the  Lord  spoken 
unto  me,  ^Like  as  the  lion  and  the 
young  lion  roaring  on  his  prey,  when 
a multitude  of  shepherds  is  called 
forth  against  him,  he  will  not  be 
afraid  of  their  voice,  nor  abase  him- 
self for  the  ® noise  of  them:  so  shall 
the  Lord  of  hosts  come  down  to 
fight  for  mount  Zi-5n,  and  for  the 
hill  thereof. 

5  * As  birds  flying,  so  will  the  Lord 
of  hosts  defend  J e-ru-s4-lem ; de- 
fending also  he  will  deliver  it ; and 
passing  over  he  will  preserve  it. 

6  II  Turn  ye  unto  him  from  whom 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el  have  deeply 
revolted. 

7  For  in  that  day  every  man  shall 
*cast  away  his  idols  of  silver,  and 
^his  idols  of  gold,  which  your  own 
hands  have  made  unto  you /or  a sin. 
8 ^ Then  shall  the  As-syr-i-an  '’fall 
with  the  sword,  not  of  a mighty 
man ; and  the  sword,  not  of  a mean 
man,  shall  devour  him : but  he 
shall  flee  ^from  the  sword,  and  his 
young  men  shall  be  ^^discomfited.

i Thus  saith  the  great  king,  the  king 

of  ^ As-syr4-a,  What  confidence  is 
this  wherein  thou  trustestl 

5 I say,  sayest  thou,  (but  they  are 
but  ^vain  words)  have  counsel 

J and  strength  for  war : now  on  whom 

■ dost  thou  trust,  that  thou  rebellest 
against  me  1 

6 Lo,  thou  trustest  in  the  ‘'staff  of 
this  broken  reed,  on  E-gypt ; where- 
on if  a man  lean,  it  will  go  into  his 
hand,  and  pierce  it : so  is  Pha-raoh 

f king  of  E-gypt  to  all  that  trust  in 
him. 

^ 7 But  if  thou  say  to  me.  We  trust 
I in  the  Lord  our  God : is  it  not  he, 

( whose  high  places  and  whose  altars 
H6z-6-ki-ah  hath  taken  away,  and 
said  to  Ju-dah  and  to  JAru-sa-lem, 
Ye  shall  worship  before  this  altar  ^ 

8 Now  therefore  give  ® pledges,  I 
pray  thee,  to  my  master  the  king  of 

j*  As-syr-i-a,  and  I will  give  thee  two 
, thousand  horses,  if  thou  be  able  on 
thy  part  to  set  riders  upon  them. 

9 How  then  wilt  thou  turn  away 
: the  face  of  one  captain  of  the  least 

of  my  master’s  servants,  and  put 
thy  trust  on  E-gypt  for  chariots  and 
for  horsemen  'I 

10  And  am  I now  come  up  with- 
out the  Lord  against  this  land  to 
destroy  iti  the  Lord  said  unto

destroy  it. 

I 11^  Then  said  E-li-a-kim  and

I not  to  us  in  the  Jews’  language,  in

words  of  the  great  king,  the  king 
of  As-syr4-a. 

14  Thus  saith  the  king.  Let  not 
Hez-6-ki-ah  deceive  you : for  he 
shall  not  be  able  to  deliver  you. 

15  Neither  let  Hez-6-ki-ah  make 
you  trust  in  the  Lord,  saying.  The 
Lord  will  surely  deliver  us:  this 
city  shall  not  be  delivered  into  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  As-syr-i-a. 

16  Hearken  not  to  Hez-e-ki-ah: 
for  thus  saith  the  king  of  As-syr4-a, 
'^^Make  an  agreement  with  me  by  a 
present,  and  come  out  to  me:  ^and 
eat  ye  every  one  of  his  vine,  and 
every  one  of  his  fig  tree,  and  drink 
ye  every  one  the  waters  of  his  own 
cistern; 

17  Until  I come  and  take  you 
away  to  a land  like  your  own  land, 
a land  of  corn  and  wine,  a land  of 
bread  and  vineyards. 

18  Beware  lest  Hez-e-ki-ah  per- 
suade you,  saying.  The  Lord  will 
deliver  us.  Hath  any  of  the  gods 
of  the  nations  delivered  his  land 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of  As- 
syr-i-a  % 

1 9 Where  are  the  gods  of  Ha-math 
and  Ar-phad'?  where  are  the  gods 
of  Seph-ar-va-im'?  and  have  they  de- 
livered Sa-ma-ri-a  out  of  my  hand'? 

20  Who  are  they  among  all  the 
gods  of  these  lands,  that  have  de- 
livered their  land  out  of  my  hand, 
that  the  Lord  should  deliver  JAru- 
sa-lem  out  of  my  hand  “? 

21  But  they  held  their  peace,  and 
answered  him  not  a word : for  the 
king’s  commandment  was,  saying. 
Answer  him  not. 

22  51  Then  came  E-li-a-kim,  the 
son  of  Hil-ki-ah,  that  was  over  the 
household,  and  Sheb-na  the  scribe, 
and  Jo-ah,  the  son  of  A-saph,  the 
recorder,  to  Hez-e-ki-ah  with  their 
clothes  rent,  and  told  him  the  words 
of  Rab-sha-keh. 

CHAPTER  37. 

1 Hezekiah  mourning  sendcth  to  Isaiah  to  pray  for  them.

AND  “^it  came  to  pass,  when  king 
H6z-6-ki-ah  heard  it,  that  he 
rent  his  clothes,  and  covered  him- 
self with  sackcloth,  and  went  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

2 And  he  sent  E-li-S-kim,  who  ivas

3 And  they  said  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  Hez-e-ki-ah,  This  day  is  a day 
of  trouble,  and  of  rebuke,  and  of 
^ blasphemy : for  the  children  are 
come  to  the  birth,  and  there  is  not 
strength  to  bring  forth. 

4 It  may  be  the  Lokd  thy  God 
will  hear  the  words  of  Rab-sha-keh, 
whom  the  king  of  As-syr-i-a  his 
master  hath  sent  to  reproach  the 
living  God,  and  will  reprove  the 
words  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  heard : wherefore  lift  up  thy 
prayer  for  the  remnant  that  is  '^left. 

5 So  the  servants  of  king  H6z-e- 
ki-ah  came  to  I-sa-iah. 

6 H And  I-sa-iah  said  unto  them. 
Thus  shall  ye  say  unto  your  master. 
Thus'saith  the  Lord,  Be  not  afraid 
of  the  words  that  thou  hast  heard, 
wherewith  the  servants  of  the  king 
of  As-s^4-a  have  blasphemed  me. 

7 Behold,  I will  ®send  a blast  upon 
him,  and  he  shall  hear  a rumour, 

• and  return  to  his  own  land ; and  I 
will  cause  him  to  fall  by  the  sword 
in  his  own  land. 

8 ^ So  Rab-sha-keh  returned,  and 
found  the  king  of  As-syr4-a  warring 
against  Lib-nah : for  he  had  hearo 
that  he  was  departed  from  La- 
•ehish. 

9 And  he  heard  say  concerning 
Tir-ha-kah  king  of  E-thi-o-pi-a,  He 
is  come  forth  to  make  war  with 
thee.  And  when  he  heard  h® 
sent  messengers  to  H^z-e-ki-ah, 

lO^^us  shall  ye  speak  to  H6z-6 
ki-ah  king  of  Ju-dah,  saying,  Let 
not  thy  God,  in  whom  thou  trustest, 
deceive  thee,  saying,  Je-ru-sa-lem 
shall  not  be  given  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  As-syr4-a.  , , , 

11  Behold,  thou  hast  heard  what 
the  kings  of  As-syr4-a  have  done 
to  all  lands  by  destroying  them  ut- 
terly ; and  shalt  thou  be  delivered  1 

12  Have  the  gods  of  the  nations 
delivered  them  which  my  fathers 
have  destroyed,  as  Go-zan,  and  Ha- 
ran^  and  Re-zeph,  and  the  children 
of  E-den  which  were  in  TS-las-sarl 

13  Where  is  the  king  of  ^Ha-math, 
and  the  king  of  Ar-phad,  and  the 
king  of  the  city  of  Seph-ar-va-im, 
He-na,  and  I-vah'? 

14  H And  H6z-e-ki-ah  received  the 
letter  from  the  hand  of  the  messen- 
gers, and  read  it:  and  H6z-e-ki-ah 
went  up  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  spread  it  before  the  Lord. 

15  And  H6z-e-ki-ah  prayed  unto

alone,  of  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth : thou  hast  made  heaven  and

17  “Incline  thine  ear,  O Lord,  and 
hear ; open  thine  eyes,  O Lord,  and 
see : and  hear  all  the  words  of  Sen- 
naeh-6-rib,  which  hath  sent  to  re- 
proach the  living  God. 

18  Of  a truth.  Lord,  the  kings  of 
As-syr-i-a  have  laid  waste  all  the 

nations,  and  their  countries, 

19  And  have  ^cast  their  gods  into 
the  fire  : for  they  were  no  gods,  but 
the  work  of  men’s  hands,  wood  and 
stone : therefore  they  have  de- 
stroyed them. 

20  Now  therefore,  O Lord  our 

God,  save  us  from  his  hand,  that 
all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  may 
know  that  thou  art  the  Lord,  even 
thou  only.  _ „ _ , 

21  ^ Then  I-sa-iah  the  son  of  A-m6z 
sent  unto  Hez-e-ki-ah,  saying.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  I§-ra-6l, 
Whereas  thou  hast  prayed  to  me 
against  Sen-nS,eh-6-rfb  king  of  As- 
syr4-a : 

22  This  is  the  word  which  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  concerning  him ; 
The  virgin,  the  daughter  of  Zi^5n. 
hath  despised  thee,  and  laughed 
thee  t9  scorn;  the  daughter  of 
Je-ru-sAl6m  hath  shaken  her  head 

tll.00 

23  Whom  hast  thou  reproached 
and  blasphemed'?  and  against  whom 
hast  thou  exalted  thy  voice,  and 
lifted  up  thine  eyes  on  high*? 
against  the  Holy  One  of  ls-ra-6l. 

24  ®By  thy  servants  hast  thou  re- 
proached the  Lord,  and  hast  said. 
By  the  multitude  of  my  chariots 
am  I come  up  to  the  height  of  the 
mountains,  to  the  sides  of  L6b-a- 
n5n ; and  I will  cut  down  ^ the  tall 
cedars  thereof,  and  the  choice  fir 
trees  thereof : and  I will  enter  into 
the  height  of  his  border,  and  ®the 
forest  of  his  -Gar-mgl. 

25  I have  digged,  and  drunk  water ; 
and  with  the  sole  of  my  feet  have  I 
dried  up  all  the  rivers  of  the  ^be- 
sieged places. 

26  ^Hast  thou  not  heard  long  ago, 
how  I have  done  it ; and  of  ancient 
times,  that  I have  formed  it  1 now 
have  1 brought  it  to  pass,  that  thou 
shouldest  be  to  lay  waste  defenced 
cities  into  ruinous  heaps.  . 

27  Therefore  their  inhabitants 
were  ^of  small  power,  they  were 
dismayed  and  confound^ : they 
were  as  the  grass  of  the  field,  and 
as  the  green  herb,  as  the  grass  on 
the  housetops,  and  as  corn  blasted 
before  it  be  grown  up. 

28  But  I know  thy  ® abode,  and 


destruction  of  Sennacherib.

Hezehmh's  thanksgiving. 


thy  going  out,  and  thy  coming  in, 
and  thy  rage  against  me. 

29  Because  thy  rage  against  me, 
and  thy  tumult,  is  come  up  into 
mine  ears,  therefore  *\vill  I put  my 
hook  in  thy  nose,  and  my  bridle  in 
thy  lips,  and  I will  turn  thee  back 
by  the  way  by  which  thou  earnest. 

30  And  this  shall  he  a sign  unto 
thee.  Ye  shall  eat  this  year  such  as 
groweth  of  itself ; and  the  second 
year  that  which  springeth  of  the 
same : and  in  the  third  year  sow  ye. 
and  reap,  and  plant  vineyards,  and 
eat  the  fruit  thereof. 

31  And  ‘“^the  remnant  that  is  es- 
caped of  the  house  of  Ju-dah  shall 
again  take  root  downward,  and  bear 
fruit  upward : 

32  For  out  of  Je-ru-sa-lem  shall  go 
forth  a remnant,  and  ^ they  that  es- 
cape out  of  mount  Zi-5n : the  ®zeal 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall  do  this. 

33  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
concerning  the  king  of  As-syr-i-a, 
He  shall  not  come  into  this  city,  nor 
shoot  an  arrow  there,  nor  come  be- 
fore it  with  ® shields,  nor  cast  a bank 
against  it. 

34  By  the  wav  that  he  came,  by 
the  same  shall  he  return,  and  shall 
not  come  into  this  city,  saith  the 
Lord. 

35  For  I will  ■''defend  this  city  to 
save  it  for  mine  own  sake,  and  for 
my  servant  Da-vid’s  sake. 

36  Then  the  ^ angel  of  the  Lord 
went  forth,  and  smote  in  the  camp 
of  the  As-syr-i-ans  a hundred  and 
fourscore  and  five  thousand:  and 
when  they  arose  early  in  the  morn- 
ing, behold,  they  were  all  dead 
corpses. 

37  II  So  Sgn-nach-6-rib  king  of 
As-syr-i-a  departed,  and  went  and 
returned,  and  dwelt  at  Nin-6-v6h. 

38  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was 
worshipping  in  the  house  of  Nis- 
r6ch  his  god,  that  A-dram-me-l6ch 
and  Sha-re-z6r  his  sons  smote  him 
with  the  sword ; and  they  escaped 
into  the  land  of  Ar-me-ni-a : and 
E-sar-had-d5n  his  son  reigned  in 
his  stead.

walked  before  thee  in  truth  and 
with  a perfect  heart,  and  have  done 
that  which  is  good  in  thy  sight. 
And  Hez-e-ki-ah  wept  ^sore. 

4 H Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  to  I-sa-iah,  saying, 

5 Go,  and  say  to  H6z-e-ki-ah,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Da-vid 
thy  father,  I have  heard  thy  prayer, 
I have  seen  thy  tears : behold,  I will 
add  unto  thy  days  fifteen  years. 

6 And  I will  deliver  thee  and  this 
city  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
As-syr-i-a : and  ®I  will  defend  this 
city. 

7 And  this  shall  be  ^ a sign  unto 
thee  from  the  Lord,  that  the  Lord 
will  do  this  thing  that  he  hath 
spoken ; 

8 Behold,  I will  bring  again  the 
shadow  of  the  degrees,  which  is 
gone  down  in  the  ^sun  dial  of  A-haz, 
ten  degrees  backward.  So  the  sun 
returned  ten  degrees,  by  which  de- 
grees it  was  gone  down. 

9 II  The_  writing  of  Hez-6-ki-ah 
king  of  Ju-dah,  when  he  had  been 
sick,  and  was  recovered  of  his  sick- 
ness : 

10  I said  in  the  cutting  off  of  my 
days,  I shall  go  to  the  gates  of  the 
grave : I am  deprived  of  the  resi- 
due of  my  years. 

Ill  said,  I shall  not  see  the  Lord, 
even  the  Lord,  '"in  the  land  of  the 
living  : I shall  behold  man  no  more 
with  the  inhabitants  of  the  world. 

12  *Mine  age  is  departed,  and  is 
removed  from  me  as  a shepherd’s 
tent : I have  cut  off  like  a weaver 
my  life:  he  will  cut  me  off  ® with 
pining  sickness : from  day  even  to 
night  wilt  thou  make  an  end  of  me. 

13  1 reckoned  till  morning,  that, 
as  a lion,  so  will  he  break  all  my 
bones : from  day  even  to  night  wilt 
thou  rnake  an  end  of  me. 

14  Like  a crane  or  a swallow,  so 
did  I chatter:  *=I  did  rnourn  as  a 
dove : mine  eyes  fail  with  looking 
upward  : O Lord,  I am  oppressed  ; 
® undertake  for  me. 

1 5 What  shall  I say  1 he  hath  both 
spoken  unto  me,  and  himself  hath 
done  it:  I shall  go  softly  all  my 
years  "“in  the  bitterness  of  my  soul. 

16  O Lord,  by  these  things  men 
live,  and  in  all  these  things  is  the 
life  of  my  spirit:  so  wilt  thou  re- 
cover me,  and  make  me  to  live. 

17  Behold,  Hor  peace  I had  great 
bitterness : but  Hhou  hast  in  love 
to  my  soul  delivered  it  from  the 
pit  of  corruption : for  thou  hast 
cast  all  my  sins  behind  thy  back.

CHAPTER  3^. 

1 Merodach-baladan,  sending  to  visit  Vezekiah,  Tiath  notice 

of  his  treasures.  3 Isaiah,  understanding  thereof,  fore- 

telleth  the  Babylonian  captivity. 

AT  ^that  time  Me-ro-daeh-bal-a- 
J\.  dan,  the  son  of  Bal-a-dan,  king 
of  Bab-y-l5n,  sent  letters  and  a 

E resent  to  Hez-e-ki-ah : for  he  had 
eard  that  he  had  been  sick,  and 
was  recovered. 

2  ^‘And  H6z-e-ki-ah  was  glad  of 
them,  and  shewed  them  the  house 
of  his  ® precious  things,  the  silver, 
and  the  gold,  and  the  spices,  and 
the  precious  ointment,  and  all  the 
house  of  his  armour,  and  all  that 
was  found  in  his  treasures : there 
was  nothing  in  his  house,  nor  in 
all  his  dominion,  that  H6z-e-ki-ah 
shewed  them  not. 

3  ^ Then  came  I-sa-jah  the  prophet 
unto  king  Hez-e-ki-ah,  and  said 
unto  him.  What  said  these  men 'I 
and  from  whence  came  they  unto 
thee  I And  Hez-e-ki-ah  said.  They 
are  come  from  a far  country  unto 
me,  even  from  Bab-y-l5n. 

4  Then  said  he.  What  have  they 
seen  in  thine  house?  And  Hez- 
6-ki-ah  answered.  All  that  is  in 
mine  house  have  they  seen : there 
is  nothing  among  my  treasures  that 
I have  not  shewed  them. 

5  Then  said  I-sa-iah  to  HSz-e-kT 
ah.  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts : 

6  Behold,  the  days  come,  ^that  all 
that  is  in  thine  house,  and  that 
which  thy  fathers  have  laid  up  in 
store  until  this  day,  shall  be  car- 
ried to  Bab-y-l5n  : nothing  shall  be 
left,  saith  the  Lord. 

7  And  of  thy  sons  that  shall  issue 
from  thee,  which  thou  shalt  beget, 
shall  they  take  away:  and  ‘‘they 
shall  be  eunuchs  in  the  palace  of 
the  king  of  Bab-;^-l0n.

CHAPTER  40. 

1 Promulgation  of  the  gospel.  3 Preaching  of  John  the 
Baptist.  9 Preaching  of  the  apostles.  12  l%e  prophet  by 
the  omnipotency  of  God,  18  and  his  incomparableness, 
26  comforteth  the  people. 

COMFORT  ye,  comfort  ye  my 
people,  saith  your  God. 

Speak  ye  ‘comfortably  to  Je-ru- 
sa-lem,  and  cry  unto  her,  that  her 
^warfare  is  accomplished,  that  her 
iniquity  is  pardoned  : ®for  she  hath 
received  of  the  Lord’s  hand  double 
for  all  her  sins. 

3  H ^The  voice  of  him  that  crieth 
in  the  wilderness,  ^Prepare  ye  the 
way  of  the  Lord,  *make  straight  in 
the  desert  a highway  for  our  God. 

4  Every  valley  shall  be  exalted, 
and  every  mountain  and  hill  shall 
be  made  low : *and^  the  crooked 
shall  be  made  ^straight,  and  the 
rough  places  ^ plain: 

5  And  the  glory  of  the  Lord  shall 
be  revealed,  and  all  flesh  shall  see 
it  together : for  the  mouth  of  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

6  The  voice  said.  Cry.  And  he 
said.  What  shall  I cry?  ”A11  flesh 
grass,  and  all  the  goodliness 
thereof  is  as  the  flower  of  the 
field : 

7  The  grass  withereth,  the  flower 
fadeth : because  the^  spirit  of  the 
Lord  bloweth  upon  it:  surely  the 


people  is  grass. 

8 The  grass  withereth,  the  flower 
fadeth : but  " the  word  of  our  God 
shall  stand  for  ever. 

9 H ®0  Zl-5n,  that  bringest  good 
tidings,  get  thee  up  into  the  high 
mountain;  JAru-sAlSm,  that 
bringest  good  tidings,  lift  up  thy 
voice  with  strength ; lift  it  up,  be 
not  afraid ; say  unto  the  cities  of 
Ju-dah,  Behold  your  God ! 

10  Behold,  the  Lord  God  will 
come  ‘with  strong  hand,  and  his 
arm  shall  rule  for  him : behold, 
his  reward  is  with  him,  and  ^his 
work  before  him. 

11  He  shall  ^'feed  his  flock  like  a 
shepherd : he  shall  gather  the  lambs 
with  his  arm,  and  carry  them  in  his 
bosom,  and  shall  gently  lead  those 
^that  are  with  young. 

12  IT  ’’Who  hath  measured  the  wa- 
ters in  the  hollow  of  his  hand,  and 
meted  out  heaven  with  the  ^an, 
and  comprehended  the  dust  of  the 
earth  in  "a  measure,  and  weighed 
the  mountains  in  scales,  and  the 
hills  in  a balance?

of  the  Lord,  or  being  ^his  counsellor

14  With  whom  took  he  coun- 
sel, and  who  ^instructed  him,  and

^understanding  1 

15  Behold,  the  nations  are  as  a

as  the  small  dust  of  the  balance :

as  a tent  to  dwell  in  : 

23  That  bringeth  the  princes  to 
nothing  • he  maketh  the  judges  of 
the  earth  as  vanity. 

24  Yea,  they  shall  not  be  planted  ; 
yea,  they  shall  not  be  sown : yea, 
their  stock  shall  not  take  root  in 
the  earth : and  he  shall  also  blow 
upon  them,  and  they  shall  wither, 
and  the  whirlwind  shall  take  them 
away  as  stubble. 

25  "To  whom  then  will  ye  liken 
me,  or  shall  I be  equal?  saith  the 
Holy  One. 

26  Lift  up  your  eyes  on  high,  and 
behold  who  hath  created  these 
things,  that  bringeth  out  their  host

searching  of  his  understanding.

increaseth  strength. 

30  Even  the  youths  shall  faint

CHAPTER  41. 

1 God  exposUdateth  with  his  people,  about  his  mercies  to 
the  church,  10  about  his  promises,  21  and  about  the 
vanity  of  idols. 

KEEP^  silence  before  me,  O 
islands  ; and  let  the  people  re- 
new their  strength : let  them  come 
near ; then  let  them  speak : let  us 
come  near  together  to  judgment. 

2  Who  raised  up  *^the  righteous 
man  *from  the  east,  called  him  to 
his  foot,  ^gave  the  nations  before 
him,  and  made  him  rule  over  kings? 
he  gave  them  as  the  dust  to  his 
sword,  and  as  driven  stubble  to 
his  bow. 

3  He  pursued  them,  and  passed 
’ safely ; even  by  the  way  that  he 
had  not  gone  with  his  feet. 

4  “Who  hath  wrought  and  done 
it,  calling  the  generations  from  the 
beginning?  I the  Lord,  the  ^ first, 
and  with  the  last;  I am  he. 

5  The  isles  saw  it,  and  feared ; the 
ends  of  the  earth  were  afraid,  drew 
near,  and  came. 

6  They  helped  every  one  his  neigh- 
bour ; and  every  one  said  to  his  bro- 
ther, ®Be  of  good  courage. 

7  So  the  carpenter  encouraged  the 
^ goldsmith,  and  he  that  smootheth 
with  the  hammer  ^him  that  smote 
the  anvil,  ^saying.  It  is  ready  for  the 
sodering:  and  he  fastened  it  with 
nails,  that  it  should  not  be  moved.

^II  Behold,  all  they  that  were 
incensed  against  thee  shall  be 
* ashamed  and  confounded : they 
shall  be  as  nothing;  and  ^they 
that  strive  with  thee  shall  perish.

that  contended  with  thee:  ^they 
that  war  against  thee  shall  be  as

hold  thy  right  hand,  saying  unto 
thee,  Fear  not;  I will  help  thee.

15  Behold,  -^I  will  make  thee  a new 
sharp  threshing  instrument  having 

teeth : thou  shalt  thresh  the  moun- 
tains, and  beat  them  small,  and  shalt 
make  the  hills  as  chaff. 

16  Thou  shalt  ^fan  them,  and  the

and  * shalt  glory  in  the  Holy  One 
of  Is-ra-el. 

17  When  the  poor  and  needy  seek 
water,  and  there  is  none,  and  their 
tongue  faileth  for  thirst,  I the  Lord 
will  hear  them,  / the  God  of  Is-ra-el 
will  not  forsake  them. 

18  I will  open  ^rivers  in  high 
places,  and  fountains  in  the  midst 
of  the  valleys : I will  make  the 

wilderness  a pool  of  water,  and 
the  dry  land  springs  of  water.

28  ®For  I beheld,  and  there  was  no 
man ; even  among  them,  and  there 
was  no  counsellor,  that,  when  I 
asked  of  them,  could  '^answer  a 
word. 

29  Behold,  they  are  all  vanity; 
their  works  are  nothing : their  mol- 
ten images  are  wind  and  confusion. 

CHAPTER  42. 

1 The  office  of  Christ,  graced  with  meekness  and  constancy. 

10  An  exhortation  to  praise  God  for  his  gospel.  17  Be 

reproveth  the  people  of  incredulity. 

Behold  *my  servant,  whom  I 
uphold ; mine  elect,  in  whom 
my  soul  *delighteth*  H have  put 
my  spirit  upon  him  : he  shall  bring 
forth  judgment  to  the  Gen-tiles. 

2  He  shall  not  cry,  nor  lift  up,  nor 
cause  his  voice  to  be  heard  in  the 
street. 

3  A bruised  reed  shall  he  not  break, 
and  the  ® smoking  flax  shall  he  not 
^quench:  he  shall  bring  forth  judg- 
ment unto  truth. 

4  He  shall  not  fail  nor  be  discour- 
aged, till  he  have  set  judgment  in 
the  earth : “and  the  isles  shall  wait 
for  his  law. 

5 U Thus  saith  God  the  Lord, 
«he  that  created  the  heavens,  and 
stretched  them  out;  he  that  spread 
forth  the  earth,  and  that  which 
cometh  out  of  it;  *he  that  giveth 
breath  unto  the  people  upon  it,  and 
spirit  to  them  that  walk  therein : 

6 “I  the  Lord  have  called  thee  in 
righteousness,  and  will  hold  thine 
hand,  and  will  keep  thee,  "=and  give 
thee  for  a covenant  of  the  people, 
for  ^a  light  of  the  Gen- tiles ; 

7 "To  open  the  blind  eyes,  to  “bring 
out  the  prisoners  from  the  prison, 
and  them  that  sit  in  darkness  out 
of  the  prison  house. 

8 I urn  the  Lord  : that  is  my  name : 
and  my  “glory  will  I not  give  to  an- 
other, neither  my  praise  to  graven 
images.

Exhortation  to  praise  God. 


ISAIAH,  48. 


God  comforteih  his  people. 


9 Behold,  the  former  things  are 
come  to  pass,  and  new  things  do  I 
declare  : before  they  spring  forth 
I tell  you  of  them. 

10  “Sing  unto  the  Lord  a new  song, 
OMd  his  praise  from  the  end  of  the 
earth,  *ye  that  go  down  to  the  sea, 
and  ^all  that  is  therein;  the  isles, 
and  the  inhabitants  thereof. 

11  Let  the  wilderness  and  the 
cities  thereof  lift  up  their  voice,  the 
villages  Ke-dar  doth  inhabit: 
let  the  inhabitants  of  the  rock  sing, 
let  them  shout  from  the  top  of  the 
mountains. 

1 2 Let  them  give  glory  unto  the 
Lord,  and  declare  his  praise  in  the 
islands. 

13  The  Lord  shall  go  forth  as  a 
mighty  man,  he  shall  stir  up  jeal- 
ousy like  a man  of  war : he  shall 
cry,  •''yea,  roar;  he  shall  ‘“^prevail 
against  his  enemies. 

14  I have  long  time  holden  my 
peace ; I have  been  still,  and  re- 
frained myself : now  will  I cry  like 
a travailing  woman  ; I will  destroy 
and  ^devour  at  once. 

15  I will  make  waste  mountains 
and  hills,  and  dry  up  all  their 
herbs;  and  I will  make  the  rivers 
islands,  and  I will  dry  up  the  pools. 

16  And  I will  bring  the  blind  by  a 
way  that  they  knew  not ; I will  lead 
them  in  paths  that  they  have  not 
known : I will  make  darkness  light 
before  them,  and  crooked  things 
^straight.  These  things  will  I do 
unto  them,  and  not  forsake  them. 

17  H They  shall  be  ""  turned  back, 
they  shall  be  greatly  ashamed,  that 
trust  in  graven  images,  that  say  to 
the  molten  images.  Ye  are  our 
gods. 

18  Hear,  ye  deaf ; and  look,  ye 
blind,  that  ye  may  see. 

19  ^Who  is  blind,  but  my  servants 
or  deaf,  as  my  messenger  that  I 
sent?  who  is  blind  as  he  that  is 
perfect,  and  blind  as  the  Lord’s 
servant? 

20  Seeing  many  things,  ^but  thou 
observest  not;  opening  the  ears, 
but  he  heareth  not. 

21  The  Lord  is  well  pleased  for 
his  righteousness’  sake ; he  will 
magnify  the  law,  and  make 
honourable. 

22  But  this  is  a people  robbed 
and  spoiled ; they  are  all  of  them 
snared  in  holes,  and  they  are  hid 
in  prison  houses : they  are  for  a 
prey,  and  none  delivereth ; for  ® a 
spoil,  and  none  saith.  Restore. 

23  Who  among  you  will  give  ear 
to  this  ? v)ho  will  hearken  and  near 
“for  the  time  to  come?

CHAPTER  43. 

1 The  Lord  comforteth  the  people  with  his  promises.  8 He 
appealeth  to  them  for  witness  of  his  omnipotency.  14  He 
foretelleth  them  the  destruction  of  Babylon,  18  and  the 
wonderful  deliverance  of  his  people.  22  He  reproveth  the 
people  as  inexcMsable. 

But  now  thus  saith  the  Lord 
that  created  thee,  O Ja-e5b, 
®and  he  that  formed  thee,  O Is-ra-6l, 
Fear  not : ^for  I have  redeemed  thee, 
have  called  thee  by  thy  name; 
thou  art  mine. 

2  "When  thou  passest  through  the 
waters,  *I  will  he  with  thee ; and 
through  the  rivers,  they  shall  not 
overflow  thee  : when  thou  ^walkest 
through  the  fire,  thou  shalt  not  be 
burned ; neither  shall  the  flame 
kindle  upon  thee. 

3  For  I am  the  Lord  thy  God,  the 
Holy  One_of  IsYa-el,  thy  Saviour: 

gave  E-gypt  /or  thy  ransom, 
E-thi-o-pi-a  and  Se-ba  for  thee. 

4  Since  thou  wast  precious  in  my 
sight,  thou  hast  been  honourable, 
and  I have  loved  thee : therefore 
will  I give  men  for  thee,  and  people 
for  thy  ®life. 

5  ‘’Fear  not : for  I am  with  thee : 
I will  bring  thy  seed  from  the  east, 
and  gather  thee  from  the  west ; 

6  I will  say  to  the  north.  Give  up ; 
and  to  the  south.  Keep  not  back : 
bring  my  sons  from  far,  and  my 
daughters  from  the  ends  of  the 
earth ; 

7  Even  every  one  that  is  ^ called 
by  my  name : for  ""I  have  created 
him  for  my  glory,  G have  formed 
him ; yea,  I have  made  him. 

8  IT  “Bring  forth  the  blind  people 
that  have  eyes,  and  the  deaf  that 
have  ears. 

9  Let  all  the  nations  be  gathered 
together,  and  let  the  people  be  as- 
sembled : "=who  among  them  can 
declare  this,  and  shew  us  former 
things?  let  them  bring  forth  their 
witnesses,  that  they  may  be  justi- 
fied : or  let  them  hear,  and  say.  It 
is  truth. 

10  ^Ye  are  my  witnesses,  saith  the 
Lord,  *and  my  servant  whom  I have 
chosen  : that  ye  may  know  and  be- 
lieve me,  and  understand  that  I am

1 1 I,  even  I,  ^am  the  Lord  ; and 
beside  me  there  is  no  saviour.  ‘

and  I have  shewed,  when  there  was 
no  **  strange  god  among  you : * there- 
fore ye  are  my  witnesses,  saith  the 
Lord,  that  I am  God. 

13  ^Yea,  before  the  day  was  I am 
he ; and  there  is  none  that  can  de- 
liver out  of  my  hand : I will  work, 
and  who  shall  ^let*^  it  % 

14  IT  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  your 
redeemer,  the  Holy  One  of  Is-ra-el ; 
For  your  sake  I have  sent  to  Bab- 
y-lOn,  and  have  brought  down  all 
their  ® nobles,  and  the  -Ghal-de-ans, 
whose  cry  is  in  the  ships. 

15  1 am  the  Lord,  your  Holy  One, 
the  creator  of  ls-ra-6l,  your  King. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  which 
’"maketh  a way  in  the  sea,  and  a 
“path  in  the  mighty  waters ; 

17  Which  ^bringeth  forth  the  cha- 
riot and  horse,  the  army  and  the 
power ; they  shall  lie  down  to- 
gether, they  shall  not  rise : they 
are  extinct,  they  are  quenched  as 
tow. 

18  U « Remember  ye  not  the  former 
things,  neither  consider  the  things 
of  old. 

19  Behold,  I will  do  a ’'new  thing; 
now  it  shall  spring  forth  ; shall  ye 
not  know  it?  G will  even  make  a 
way  in  the  wilderness,  and  rivers 
in  the  desert. 

20  The  beast  of  the  field  shall 
honour  me,  the  dragons  and  the 
®’owls : because  *I  give  waters  in 
the  wilderness,  and  rivers  in  the 
desert,  to  give  drink  to  my  people, 
my  chosen. 

21  * This  people  have  I formed  for 
myself ; they  shall  shew  forth  my 
praise. 

22  U But  thou  hast  not  called  upon 
me,  O Ja-cOb ; but  thou  “hast  been 
weary  of  me,  O I§-ra-el. 

23  ‘^Thou  hast  not  brought  me 
the  ® small  cattle  of  thy  burnt  offer- 
ings ; neither  hast  thou  honoured 
me  with  thy  sacrifices.  ^ I have  not 
caused  thee  to  serve  with  an  offer- 
ing, nor  wearied  thee  with  incense. 

24  Thou  hast  bought  me  no  sweet 
cane  with  money,  neither  hast  thou 
^filled  me  with  the  fat  of  thy  sac- 
rifices : but  thou  hast  made  me 
to  serve  with  thy  sins,  thou  hast 
^wearied  me  with  thine  iniquities. 

25  I,  even  I,  am  he  that  '^blotteth 
out  thy  transgressions  Hor  mine 
own  sake,  ”and  will  not  remember 
thy  sins.

and  thy  ^teachers  have  transgressea 
against  me. 

28  Therefore  “I  have  profaned  the 
^princes  of  the  sanctuary, -^and  have 
given  Ja-c5b  to  the  curse,  and  Is- 
ra-el  to  reproaches. 

CHAPTER  44. 

1 God  comforteth  the  church  with  his  promises.  7 Vanity 
of  idols,  9 and  folly  of  idol  makers.  21  He  exhorteth  to 
praise  God  for  his  redemption. 

Yet  now  hear,  *0  Ja^db  my 
servant ; and  I§-ra-el,  whom  1, 
have  chosen : 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  that  made 
thee,  *and  forrned  thee  from  the 
womK  which  will  help  thee ; Fear 
not,  O Ja-cOb,  my  servant ; and 
thou,  ^Jes-u-run,  whom  I have 
chosen. 

3  For  I will  ’’pour  water  upon  him 
that  is  thirsty,  and  floods  upon  the 
dry  ground : I will  pour  my  spirit 
upon  thy  seed,  and  my  blessing  up- 
on thine  offspring : 

4  And  they  shall  spring  up  as 
among  the  grass,  as  willows  by  the 
water  courses. 

5 One  shall  say,  I am  the  Lord’s  ; 
and  another  shall  call  himself  by 
the  name  of  Ja^Ob  ; and  another 
shall  subscribe  with  his  hand  unto 
the  Lord,  and  surname  himself  by 
the  name  of  Is-rAel. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  the  King 
of  Is-ra-6l,  *and  his  redeemer  the 
Lord  of  hosts  ; “I  am  the  first,  and 
I am  the  last ; and  beside  me  there 
is  no  God. 

7  And  ^who,  as  I,  shall  call,  and 
shall  declare  ik  and  set  it  in  order 
for  me,  since  I appointed  the  an- 
cient people?  and  the  things  that 
are  coming,  and  shall  come,  let 
them  shew  unto  them. 

8  Fear  ye  not,  neither  be  afraid: 
*have  not  I told  thee  from  that 
time,  and  have  declared  it  ? “ye  are 
even  my  witnesses.  Is  there  a God 
beside  me?  yea,  ^ there  is  no  ®God; 
I know  not  any. 

9  51  -^They  that  make  a graven 
image  are  all  of  them  vanity ; and 
their  ^delectable  things  shall  not 
profit ; and  they  are  their  own  wit- 
nesses ; ^’they  see  not,  nor  know ; 
that  they  may  be  ashamed. 

10  Who  hath  formed  a god,  or 
molten  a graven  image  ^that  is 
profitable  for  nothing? 

1 1  Behold,  all  his  fellows  shall  be 
’"ashamed : and  the  workmen,  they 
are  of  men : let  them  all  be  gathered 
together,  let  them  stand  up;  y&t

1 2 ^The  smith  ^ with  the  tongs  both 
worketh  in  the  coals,  and  fashioneth 
it  with  hammers,  and  worketh  it 
with  the  strength  of  his  arms  : yea, 
he  is  hungry,  and  his  strength  fail- 
eth : he  drinketh  no  water,  and  is 
faint. 

13  The  carpenter  stretcheth  out 
his  rule ; he  marketh  it  out  with  a 
hne ; he  fitteth  it  with  planes,  and 
he  marketh  it  out  with  the  com- 
pass, and  maketh  it  after  the  figure 
of  a man,  according  to  the  beauty 
of  a man ; that  it  may  remain  in 
the  house.  ’ 

14  He  heweth  him  down  cedars, 
and  taketh  the  cypress  and  the  oak, 
which  he  ^strengtheneth  for  himself 
among  the  trees  of  the  forest : he 
planteth  an  ash,  and  the  rain  doth 
nourish  it. 

15  Then  shall  it  be  for  a man  to 
burn  : for  he  will  take  thereof,  and 
warm  himself ; yea,  he  kindleth  it, 
and  baketh  bread ; yea^,  he  maketh  a 
god,  and  worshippeth  %t;  he  maketh 
it  a graven  image,  and  falleth  down 
thereto. 

16  He  burneth  part  thereof  in  the 
fire;  with  part  thereof  he  eateth 
flesh ; he  roasteth  roast,  and  is 
satisfied  : yea,  he  warmeth  himself, 
and  saith,  Aha,  I am  warm,  I have 
seen  the  fire: 

17  And  the  residue  thereof  he 
maketh  a god,  even  his  graven  im- 
age : he  falleth  down  unto  it,  and 
worshippeth  it,  and  prayeth  unto 
it,  and  saith.  Deliver  me ; for  thou 
art  my  god. 

18  "They  have  not  known  nor  un- 
derstood : for  «he  hath  ^shut  their 
eyes,  that  they  cannot  see  ; and 
their  hearts,  that  they  cannot  un- 
derstand. 

19  And  none  ®considereth®  in  his 
heart,  neither  is  there  knowledge 
nor  understanding  to  say,  I have 
burned  part  of  it  in  the  fire ; yea,

CHAPTER  45. 

1 God  calleth  Cyrus  for  his  church’s  sake.  6 By  his  om- 
nipotency he  challengeth  obedience.  20  He  convinceth 
the  idols  of  vanity  by  his  saving  power. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord  to  his  an- 
ointed, to  CyYus,  whose  bright 
hand  I ®have  holden,  ^to  subdue  na- 
tions before  him ; and  I will  loose 
the  loins  of  kings,  to  open  before 
him  the  two  leaved  gates ; and  the 
gates  shall  not  be  shut ; 

2 I will  go  before  thee,  ^and  make 
the  crooked  places  straight : “I  will 
break  in  pieces  the  gates  of  brass, 
and  cut  in  sunder  the  bars  of  iron  : 
3 And  I will  give  thee  the  treas- 
ures of  darkness,  and  hidden  riches 
of  secret  places,  *that  thou  mayest 
know  that  I,  the  Lord,  which  ^call 
thee  hj  thy  name,  am  the  God  of 
IsYa-eL 

4 For  ® Ja-c(3b  my  servant’s  sake, 
and  ls-ra-6l  mine  elect,  I have  even 
called  thee  by  thy  name : I have 
surnamed  thee,  though  thou  hast 
*not  known  me. 

5 U I ^am  the  Lord,  and  ^ there  is 
none  else,  there  is  no  God  beside 
me:  •''I  girded  thee,  though  thou 
hast  not  known  me:

God  challengeth  obedience.  ISAIAH,  46.  God^ s saving  poweT, 


6 “That  they  may  know  from  thel 
rising  of  the  sun,  and  from  the  west, 
that  there  is  none  beside  me.  I am 
the  Lord,  and  there  is  none  else. 

7 I form  the  light,  and  create  dark- 
ness : I make  peace,  and  “^create  evil : 
I the  Lord  do  all  these  things. 

8 -^Drop  down,  ye  heavens,  from 
above,  and  let  the  skies  pour  down 
righteousness:  let  the  earth  open, 
and  let  them  bring  forth  salva- 
tion, and  let  righteousness  spring 
up  together ; I the  Lord  have 
created  it. 

9 Woe  unto  him  that  striveth  with 
^his  Maker  ! Let  the  potsherd  strive 
with  the  potsherds  of  the  earth. 

* Shall  the  clay  say  to  him  that 
fashioneth  it.  What  makest  thou^ 
or  thy  work,  He  hath  no  hands'? 

10  Woe  unto  him  that  saith  unto 
his  father.  What  begettest  thou*? 
or  to  the  woman.  What  hast  thou 
brought  forth  1 

1 1 Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  Holy 
One  of  Is-ra-el,  and  his  Maker,  Ask 
me  of  things  to  come  concerning 
"my  sons,  and  concerning  ^the  work 
of  my  hands  command  ye  me. 

12  « I have  made  the  earth,  and 

* created  man  upon  it : I,  even  my 
hands,  have  stretched  out  the  heav- 
ens, and  “all  their  host  have  I com- 
manded. 

13  ^I  have  raised  him  up  in  right- 
eousness, and  I will  ® direct  all  his 
ways  : he  shall  “build  my  city,  and 
he  shall  let  go  my  captives,  "not  for 
price  nor  reward,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  "The  la- 
bour of  E-gypt,  and  merchandise  of 
E-thi-o-pi-a  and  of  the  Sa-be-ans, 
men  of  stature,  shall  come  over  unto 
thee,  and  they  shall  be  thine : they 
shall  come  after  thee ; ^in  chains 
they  shall  come  over,  and  they  shall 
fall  down  unto  thee,  they  shall 
make  supplication  unto  thee,  say- 
ing, * Surely  God  is  in  thee ; and 
^ there  is  none  else,  there  is  no  God. 

15  Verily  thou  art  a God  ""that 
hidest  thyself,  O God  of  ls-ra-6l, 
the  Saviour. 

16  They  shall  be  ashamed,  and 
also  confounded,  all  of  them : they 
shall  go  to  confusion  together  that 
are  "makers  of  idols. 

17  ^But  Is-ra-el  shall  be  saved  in 
the  Lord  with  an  everlasting  salva- 
tion : ye  shah  not  be  ashamed  nor 
confounded  world  without  end. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord/ that 
created  the  heavens;  God  himself 
that  formed  the  earth  and  made  it : 
he  hath  established  it,  he  created 
it  not  in  vain,  he  formed  it  to  be

* neither  didst  remember  the  latter 
end  of  it. 

8 Therefore  hear  now  this,  thou

thy  knowledge,  it  hath  ^perverted 
thee ; *and  thou  hast  said  in  thine 
heart,  I am,  and  none  else  beside 
me. 

11  H Therefore  shall  evil  come 
upon  thee ; thou  shalt  not  know 
^from  whence  it  riseth : and  mis- 
chief shall  fall  upon  thee ; thou 
shalt  not  be  able  to  ^put  it  off : and 
‘'desolation  shall  come  upon  thee 
suddenly,  which  thou  shalt  not 
know.

ments, and  with  the  multitude  of 
thy  sorceries,  wherein  thou  hast 
laboured  from  thy  youth ; if  so  be

1 Qod,  to  convince  the  people  of  their  foreknown  obstinacy, 
revealed  his  prophecies.  9 He  saveth  them  for  his  own 
sake.  12  He  exhorteth  them  to  obedience,  because  of  his 
poiver  and  providence.  16  He  lamenteth  their  backward- 
ness. 20  He  powerfully  delivereth  his  out  of  Babylon. 

Hear  ye  this,  O house  of  Ja-c5b,

and  make  mention  of  the  God  of 
Is-ra-6l,  °'but  not  in  truth,  nor  in 
righteousness. 

2 For  they  call  themselves  ®of  the 
holy  city,  and  ‘^stay  themselves  up- 
on the  God  9f  Is-ra-el ; The  Lord 
of  hosts  is  his  name. 

3 •''I  have  declared  the  former 
things  from  the  beginning ; and 
they  went  forth  out  of  my  mouth, 
and  I shewed  them ; I did  them 
suddenly,  *and  they  came  to  pass. 

4 Because  I knew  that  thou  art 
^obstinate,  and  ^thy  neck  is  an  iron 
sinew,  and  thy  brow  brass  ; 

5 ”I  have  even  from  the  beginning 
declared  it  to  thee ; before  it  came 
to  pass  I shewed  thee : lest  thou 
shouldest  say.  Mine  idol  hath  done 
them,  and  my  graven  image,  and 
my  molten  image,  hath  commanded 
them. 

6 Thou  hast  heard,  see  all  this; 
and  will  not  ye  declare  it  2 I have 
shewed  thee  new  things  from  this 
time,  even  hidden  things,  and  thou 
didst  not  know  them. 

7 They  are  created  now,  and  not 
from  the  beginning;  even  before 
the  day  when  thou  heardest  them 
not;  lest  thou  shouldest  say.  Be- 
hold, I knew  them. 

8 Yea,  thou  heardest  not ; yea, 
thou  knewest  not;  yea,  from  that 
time  that  thine  ear  was  not  opened : 
for  I knew  that  thou  wouldest  deal 
very  treacherously,  and  wast  called 
“a  transgressor  from  the  womb. 

9 U '*'For  my  name’s  sake  ^will  I 
defer  mine  anger,  and  for  my  praise 
will  I refrain  for  thee,  that  I cut 
thee  not  off. 

10  Behold,  *I  have  refined  thee, 
but  not  ^ with  silver ; I have  chosen 
thee  in  the  furnace  of  affliction. 

11  *For  mine  own  sake,  even  for 
mine  own  sake,  will  I do  it:  for 
‘^how  should  my  rmme  be  polluted '? 
and  ^I  will  not  give  my  glory  unto 
another.

I am  the  fflrst,  I also  am  the  last.

foundation  of  the  earth,  and  ^my

6 And  he  said,  Ht  is  a light  thing 
that  thou  shouldest  be  my  servant 
to  raise  up  the  tribes  of  J a--e5b,  and 
to  restore  the  ‘^preserved  of  Is-ra-el : 
I will  also  give  thee  for  a flight  to 
the  Ggn-tiles,  that  thou  mayest  be 
my  salvation  unto  the  end  of  the

One,  ‘^to^  him  whom  man  despiseth,

seek  the  Loed  : look  unto  the  rock 
whence  ye  are  hewn,  and  to  the  hole 
of  the  pit  whence  ye.  are  digged. 

2 ‘'Look  unto  A-bra-ham  your  fa- 
ther, and  unto  Sa-rah  that  bare  you : 
‘^for  I called  him  alone,  and  ® blessed 
him,  and  increased  him. 

3^  For  the  Loed  shall  comfort 
Zi-6n : he  will  comfort  all  her  waste 

§ laces ; and  he  will  make  her  wil- 
erness  like  E-dgn,  and  her  desert 
*like  the  garden  or  the  Loed-  joy 
and  gladness  shall  be  found  there- 
in, thanksgiving,  and  the  voice  of 
melody. 

4  ^ Hearken  unto  ma  my  people; 
and  give  ear  unto  me,  O my  nation : 
®for  a law  shall  proceed  from  me, 
and  I will  make  my  judgment  to 
rest  ^for  a light  of  the  people. 

5  *My  righteousness  is  near;  my 
salvation  is  gone  forth,  “and  mine 
arms  shall  judge  the  people ; the 
isles  shall  wait  upon  me,  and  *on 
mine  arm  shall  they  trust. 

6  “Lift  up  your  eyes  to  the  heav- 
ens, and  look  upon  the  earth 
beneath : for  ^ the  heavens  shall 
vanish  away  like  sruoke,  ^and  the 
earth  shall  wax  old  like  a garment, 
and  they  that  dwell  therein  shall 
die  in  like  manner : but  my  salva- 
tion shall  be  for  ever,  and  my  right- 
eousness shall  not  be  abolished. 

7  H Hearken  unto  me,  ye  that 
know  righteousness,  the  people  Tn 
whose  heart  is  my  law ; *fear  ye  not 
the  reproach  of  men,  neither  be  ye 
afraid  of  their  revilings. 

8  For  ""the  moth  shall  eat  them  up 
like  a garment,  and  the  worm  shall 
eat  them  like  wool:  but  my  right- 
eousness shall  be  for  ever,  and  my 
salvation  from  generation  to  gen- 
eration. 

9  U ^ Awake,  awake,  « put  on 
strength,  O arm  of  the  Loed  ; a- 
wake,  ^as  in  the  ancient  days,  in 
the  generations  of  old.  ^Art  thou 
not  it  that  hath  cut  “Ra-hab,  and 
wounded  the  dragon'? 

10  Art  thou  not  it  which  hath 
* dried  the  sea,  the  waters  of  the 
great  deep;  that  hath  made  the 
depths  of  the  sea  a way  for  the 
ransomed  to  pass  over'? 

11  Therefore  “the  redeemed  of  the 
Loed  shall  return,  and  come  with 
singing  unto  Zi-6n ; and  everlasting 
joy  shall  he  upon  their  head : they 
shall  obtain  gladness  and  joy ; wnd 
sorrow  and  mourning  shall  flee  away. 

12  1,  even  I,  am  he  ‘^that  comfort- 
eth  you:  who  art  thou,  that  thou 
shouldest  be  afraid  ®of  a man  that 
shall  die,  and  of  the  son  of  man 
which  shall  be  made  ^ as  grass ; 


of  Jerusalem. 

13  And  forgettest  the  Lokd  thy 
maker,  Hhat  hath  stretched  forth 
the  heavens,  and  laid  the  founda- 
tions of  the  earth  ; and  hast  feared 
continually  every  day  because  of 
the  fury  of  the  oppressor,  as  it  he 
^were  ready  to  destroy^  -^and  where 
is  the  fury  of  the  oppressor  % 

14  The  captive  exile  hasteneth 
that  he  may  be  loosed,  ^and  that 
he  should  not  die  in  the  pit,  nor 
that  his  bread  should  fail. 

15  But  I am  the  Lord  thy  God, 
that  'divided  the  sea,  whose  waves 
roared:  The  Loud  of  hosts  is  his 
name. 

16  And  have  put  my  words  in 
thy  mouth,  and  have  covered 
thee  in  the  shadow  of  mine  hand, 

^ that  I may  plant  the  heavens,  and 
lay  the  foundations  of  the  earth, 
and  say  unto  Zi-6n,  Thou  art  my 
people. 

17  H « Awake,  awake,  stand  up,  U 

Je-ru-sa-l6m,  which  ’‘hast  drunk  at 
the  hand  of  the  Lord  the  cup  of  his 
fury  ; * thou  hast  drunken  the  dregs 
of  the  cup  of  trembling,  and  wrung 
them  out.  . i i 

18  There  is  none  to  guide  her 
among  all  the  sons  whom  she  hath 
brought  forth ; neither  is  there 
any  that  taketh  her  by  the  hand 
of  all  the  sons  that  she  hath 
brought  up. 

19  ® These  two  things  ^are  come 
unto  thee ; who  shall  be  sorry  for 
theel  desolation,  and  ^destruction, 
and  the  famine,  and  the  sword  : ^ by 
whom  shall  I comfort  thee  % 

20  “Thy  sons  have  fainted,  they  lie 

at  the  head  of  all  the  streets,  as  a 
wild  bull  in  a net : they  are  full  of 
the  fury  of  the  Lord,  the  rebuke  of 
thy  God.  . 

21  ^ Therefore  hear  now  this,  thou 
afflicted,  and  drunken,  '’but  not  with 
wine  : 

22  Thus  saith  thy  Lord  the  Lord, 
and  thy  God  Hhat  pleadeth  the 
cause  of  his  people.  Behold,  I have 
taken  out  of  thine  hand  the  cup  of 
trembling,  even  the  dregs  of  the 
cup  of  my  fury  ; thou  shalt  no  more 
drink  it  again : 

23  But  '^1  will  put  it  into  the  hand 
of  them  that  afflict  thee;  '‘which 
have  said  to  thy  soul.  Bow  down, 
that  we  may  go  over : and  thou 
hast  laid  thy  body  as  the  ground, 
and  as  the  street,  to  them  that 
went  over.

CHAPTER  53. 

1 The  prophet,  complaining  of  incredulity,  excuseth  the 
scandal  of  the  cross,  4 by  the  benefit  of  his  passion,  10 
and  the  good  success  thereof. 

WHO  *hath  believed  our  re- 
port'?  and  to  whom  is  the 
arm  or  the  Lord  revealed? 

2  For  he  shall  grow  up  before  him 
as  a tender  plant,  and  as  a root  out 
of  a dry  ground : he  hath  no  form 
nor  comeliness  j and  when  we  shall 
see  him,  there  is  no  beauty  that  we 
should  desire  him. 

3  ”"He  is  despised  and  rejected  of 
meii;  a man  of  sorrows,  and  ” ac- 
quainted with  grief : and  ^ ^ we  hid 
as  it  were  our  faces  from  him ; he 
was  despised,  and  "we  esteemed 
him  not. 

4  H Surely  ^he  hath  borne  our 
griefs,  and  carried  our  sorrows  : yet 
we  did  esteem  him  stricken,  smit- 
ten of  God,  and  afflicted. 

5  But  he  was  ^ wounded  ® for  our 
transgressions,  he  was  bruised  for 
our  iniquities  : the  chastisement  of 
our  peace  was  upon  him ; and  with 
his  * stripes®  we  are  healed. 

6  All  we  like  sheep  have  gone 
astray ; we  have  turned  every  one 
to  his  own  way ; and  the  Lord  "^hath 
laid  on  him  the  iniquity  of  us  all. 

7  He  was  oppressed,  and  he  was 
afflicted,  yet /he  opened  not  his 
mouth : * he  is  brought  as  a lamb 
to  the  slaughter,  and  as  a sheep 
before  her  shearers  is  dumb,  so  he 
openeth  not  his  mouth. 

8  ® He  was  taken  from  prison  and 
from  judgment : and  who  shall  de- 
clare his  generation?  for  ^he  was 
cut  off  out  of  the  land  of  the  living  : 
for  the  transgression  of  my  people 
® was  he  stricken. 

9  **  And  he  made  his  grave  with  the 
wicked,  and  with  the  rich  in  his 
^ death;  because  he  had  done  no 
violence,  neither  was  any  "deceit 
in  his  mouth. 

10  U Yet  it  pleased  the  Lord  to 
bruise  him;  he  hath  put  him  to 
grief:  ^when  thou  shalt  make  his 
soul  ^an  offering  for  sin,  he  shall  see 
his  seed,  he  shall  prolong  his  days, 
and  the  ^pleasure  of  the  Lord  shall 
prosper  in  his  hand.

CHAPTER  54. 

1 The  prophet  prophesieth  the  amplitude  of  their 
church,  4 their  safety,  &c.  * 

SING,  O barren,  thou  that  didst 
not  bear  ; break  forth  into  sing- 
ing, and  cry  aloud,  thou  that  didst 
not  travail  with  child : for  more  are 
the  children  of  the  desolate  than 
the  children  of  the  married  wife, 
saith  the  Lord. 

2  Enlarge  the  place  of  thy  tent, 
and  let  them  stretch  forth  the  cur- 
tains of  thine  habitations:  spare  not, 
lengthen  thy  cords,  and  strengthen 
thy  stakes ; 

3  For  thou  shalt  break  forth  on 
the  right  hand  and  on  the  left ; «and 
thy  seed  shall  inherit  the  OSn-tlles, 
and  make  the  desolate  cities  to  be 
inhabited. 

4  Fear  not;  for  thou  shalt  not 
be  ashamed : neither  be  thou  con- 
founded; for  thou  shalt  not  be  put 
to  shame : for  thou  shalt  forget  the 
shame  of  thy  youth,  and  shalt  not 
remember  the  reproach  of  thy 
widowhood  any  more. 

5  * For  thy  Maker  is  thine  husband ; 
the  “ Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name  ; and 
thy  Redeemer  the  Holy  One  of  Is- 
ra-el ; 2' The  God  of  the  whole  earth 
shall  he  be  called. 

6  For  the  Lord  hath  called  thee  as 
a woman  forsaken  and  grieved  in 
spirit,  and  a wife  of  youth,  when 
thou  wast  refused,  saith  thy  God. 
7 “ For  a small  moment  have  I for- 
saken thee  ; but  with  great  mercies 
will  I gather  thee. 

8  In  a little  wrath  I hid  my  face 
from  thee  for  a moment ; " but  with 
everlasting  kindness  will  I have 
mercy  on  thee,  saith  the  Lord  thy 
Redeemer. 

9  For  this  is  as  the  waters  of 
■^No-ah  unto  me:  for  as  I have 
sworn  that  the  waters  of  No-ah 
should  no  more  go  over  the  earth ; 
so  have  I sworn  that  I would  not  be 
wroth  with  thee,  nor  rebuke  thee.

lino  thou  afflicted,  tossed  with 
tempest,  and  not  comforted,  be- 
hold, I will  lay  thy  stones  with  ^air 
colours,  and  lay  thy  foundations 
with  sapphires.  . 

12  And  I will  make  thy  windows 
of  agates,  and  thy  gates  of  car- 
buncles, and  all  thy  borders  of 
pleasant  stones. 

13  And  all  thy  children  shall  be 

taught  of  the  Lord  ; and  ^ great 

shall  be  the  peace  of  thy  children. 

14  In  righteousness  shalt  thou  be 
established  : thou  shalt  be  far  from 
oppression ; for  thou  shalt  not  fear : 
and  from  terror ; for  it  shall  not 
come  near  thee. 

15  Behold,  they  shall  surely  gather 
together,  but  not  by  me : whosoever 
shall  gather  together  against  thee 
shall  fall  for  thy  sake. 

16  Behold,  I have  created  the 
smith  that  bloweth  the  coals  in  the 
fire,  and  that  bringeth  forth  an  in- 
strument for  his  work  ; and  I have 
created  the  waster  to  destroy. 

17  ^ No  weapon  that  is  formed  a- 
gainst  thee  shall  prosper ; and  every 
tongue  that  shall  rise  against  thee 
in  judgment  thou  shalt  condemn. 
This  is  the  heritage  of  the  servants 
of  the  Lord,  "and  their  righteous- 
ness is  of  me,  saith  the  Lord.

CHAPTER  56. 

1 The  prophet  exhovteth  to  sanctification.  3 He  promiseth 

it  shall  be  general  without  respect  of  persons.  9 He  in- 

veigheth  against  blind  watchmen. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Keep  ye 
^judgment,  and  do  justice : “for 
my  salvation  is  near  to  come,  and 
my  righteousness  to  be  revealed. 

2 Blessed  is  the  man  that  doeth 
this,  and  the  son  of  man  that  layeth 
hold  on  it ; “^that  keepeth  the  sab- 
bath from  polluting  it,  and  keepeth 
his  hand  from  doing  any  evil 
3 IT  Neither  let  ^the  son  of  the 
stranger,  that  hath  joined  himself  to 
the  Lord,  speak,  saying.  The  Lord 
hath  utterly  separated  me  from  his 
people  : neither  let  the  eunuch  say. 
Behold,  I am  a dry  tree. 

4 For  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto  the 
eunuchs  that  keep  my  sabbaths,  and 
choose  the  things  that  please  me, 
and  take  hold  of  my  covenant;  ^ 

5 Even  unto  them  will  I give  in

sous  and  of  daughters : I will  give

6 Also  the  sons  of  the  stranger, 
that  join  themselves  to  the  Lord, 
to  serve  him,  and  to  love  the  name 
\)i  the  Lord,  to  be  his  servants, 
-every  one  that  keepeth  the  sabbath 
trorn  polluting  it,  and  taketh  hold

7 Even  them  will  I ‘'bring  to  my

ful in  my  house  of  prayer : their 
burnt  offerings  and  their  sacrifices 
^hall  he  accepted  upon  mine  altar ; 
for  ■''mine  house  shall  be  called  an 
house  of  prayer  '‘for  all  people. 

8 The  Lord  God  * which  gathereth 
the  outcasts  of  Is-ra-6l  saith.  *Yet 
will  I gather  others  to  him,  '^beside 
those  that  are  gathered  unto  him. 

9 ^ 'All  ye  beasts  of  the  field,

their  own  way,  every  one  for  his

7 “Upon  a lofty  and  high  moun-  ‘

thither  wentest  thou  up  to  offer 
sacrifice. 

8 Behind  the  doors  also  and  the

thyself  to  another  than  me,  and  art 
gone  up ; thou  hast  enlarged  thy

9 And  ^thou®  wentest  to  the  king

thou  fearest  me  not? 

12  I will  declare  thy  righteous-

not  profit  thee. 

13  U When  thou  criest,  let  thy

2 Heb.  lie, 
or,  deceive. 


I The  prophet,  being  sent  to  reprove  hypocHsy,  3 express- 
eth  a counterfeit  fast  and  a true.  8 He  declareth  what 
promises  are  due  unto  godliness,  &c. 

CRY  ^ aloud,  spare  not,  lift  up  thy 
voice  like  a trumpet,  and  shew 
my  people  their  transgression,  and 
the  house  of  Ja^5b  their  sins. 

2  Yet  they  seek  me  daily,  and  de- 
light to  know  my  ways,  as  a nation 
that  did  righteousness,  and  forsook 
not  the  ordinance  of  their  God: 
they  ask  of  me  the  ordinances  of 
justice  ; they  take  delight  in  ap- 
proaching to  God. 

3  H Wherefore  have  we  fasted,  say 
they,  and  thou  seest  notl  wherefore 
have  we  afflicted  our  soul,  and  thou 
takest  no  knowledge*?  Behold,  in 
the  day  of  your  fast  ye  find  pleas- 
ure, and  exact  all  your  labours. 

4  Behold,  ye  fast  for  strife  and  de- 
bate, and  to  smite  with  the  fist  of 
wickedness : ® ye  shall  not  fast  as 
ye  do  this  day,  to  make  your  voice 
to  be  heard  on  high. 

5  Is  it  such  a fast  that  I have 
chosen  *?  "^  a day  for  a man  to  afflict 
his  soul*?  is  it  to  bow  down  his 
head  as  a bulrush,  and  ^to  spread 
sackcloth  and  ashes  under  him? 
wilt  thou  call  this  a fast,  and  an 
acc^table  day  to  the  LordI 
6 Is  not  this  the  fast  that  I have 
chosen  % to  loose  the  bands  of  wick- 
edness, Ho  undo  ^the  heavy  bur- 
dens, and  ” to  let  the  ^ oppressed  go 
free,  and  that  ye  break  every  yoke^ 
7 Is  it  not  °to  deal  thy  bread  to 
the  hungry,  and  that  thou  bring 
the  poor  that  are  ^cast  out  to  thy 
house*?  ^when  thou  seest  the  naked, 
that  thou  cover  him  ; and  that  thou 
hide  not  thyself  from  ^ thine  own 
flesh*? 

8  U *Then  shall  thy  light  break 
forth  as  the  morning,  and  thine 
health  shall  spring  forth  speedily : 
and  thy  righteousness  shall  go  be- 
fore thee ; * the  glory  of  the  Lord 
®shall  be  thy  rereward. 

9  Then  shalt  thou  call,  and  the 
Lord  shall  answer  ; thou  shalt  cry, 
and  he  shall  say.  Here  I am.  If 
thou  take  away  from  the  midst  of 
thee  the  yoke,  the  putting  forth  of 
the  finger,  and  "'speaking  vanity ;

CHAPTER  59. 

1 The  damnable  nature  of  sin.  3 The  sins  of  the  Jews. 

9 Calamity  is  for  sin.  16  Salvation  is  only  of  God. 

20  The  covenant  of  the  Redeemer. 

Behold,  the  lord’s  hand  is  not 
shortened,  that  it  cannot  save; 
neither  his  ear  heavy,  that  it  can- 
not hear : 

2  But  your  iniquities  have  sepa- 
rated between  you  and  your  God, 
and  your  sins  ®have  hid  his  face 
from  you,  that  he  will  not  hear. 

3  For  ™your  hands  are  defiled  with 
blood,  and  your  fingers  with  iniq- 
uity; your  lips  have  spoken  lies, 
your  tongue  nath  muttered  per- 
verseness. 

4  None  calleth  for  justice,  nor 
any  pleadeth  for  truth  : they  trust 
in  vanity,  and  speak  lies;  ®they 
conceive  mischief,  and  bring  forth 
iniquity. 

5  They  hatch  f cockatrice’  eggs,  and 
weave  the  spider’s  web:  he  that 
eateth  of  their  eggs  dieth,  and  ^that 
which  is  crushed  breaketh  out  into 
a viper. 

6  “Their  webs  shall  not  become 
garments,  neither  shall  they  cover 
themselves  with  their  works  : their 
works  are  works  of  iniquity,  and 
the  act  of  violence  is  in  their 
hands. 

7  ^ Their  feet  run  to  evil,  and  they 
make  haste  to  shed  innocent  blood  : 
their  thoughts  are  thoughts  of  in 


663 


The  conversion 


iquity;  wasting  and 
are  in  their  paths. 

8 The  way  of  peace  they  know 
not;  and  there  is  no  ^judgment  in 
their  goings : ^they  have  made  them 
crooked  paths:  whosoever  goeth 
therein  shall  not  know  peace. 

9 ^ Therefore  is  judgment  far  from 
us,  neither  doth  justice  overtake 
us : we  wait  for  light,  but  behold 
obscurity;  for  brightness,  hut  we 
walk  in  darkness. 

10  ‘^We  grope  for  the  wah  like  the 
blind,  and  we  grope  as  if  we  had 
no  eyes : we  stumble  at  noon  day 
as  in  the  night ; we  are  in  desolate 
places  as  dead  men. 

11  We  roar  all  like  bears,  and 
S' mourn  sore  like  doves:  we  look 
for  judgment,  but  there  is  none; 
for  salvation,  but  it  is  far  off 
from  us. 

1 2 For  our  transgressions  are  mul- 
tiplied before  thee,  and  our  sins 
testify  against  us : for  our  trans- 
gressions are  with  us ; and  as  for 
our  iniquities,  we  know  them; 

13  In  transgressing  and  lying  a 
gainst  the  Lord,  and  departing 
away  from  our  God,  speaking  op- 
pression and  revolt,  conceiving  and 
uttering  ^frorn  the  heart  words  of 
falsehood. 

14  And  judgment  is  turned  away 
backward,  and  justice  standeth  afar 
off : for  truth  is  fallen  in  the  street 
and  equity  cannot  enter. 

15  Yea,  truth  faileth ; and  he  that 
departeth  from  evil  ®maketh  hirn- 
self  a prey:  and  the  Lord  saw  it, 
and  it  displeased  him  that  there 
was  no  judgment. 

16  ^ ^ And  he  saw  that  there  was 
no  man,  and  ’'wondered  that  there 
was  no  intercessor : * therefore  his 
arm  brought  salvation  unto  him: 
and  his  righteousness,  it  sustainec 
him. 

17  “ For  he  put  on  righteousness  as 
a breastplate,  and  an  helmet  of  sal- 
vation upon  his  head;  and  he  put 
on  the  garments  of  vengeance  for 
clothing,  and  was  clad  with  zeal  as 

clok© 

18  According  to  their  ® deeds,  ac 
cordingly  he  will  repay,  fury  to  his 
adversaries,  recompence  to  his  ene- 
mies ; to  the  islands  he  will  repay 
recompence. 

19  So  shall  they  fear  the  name  of 
the  Lord  from  the  west,  and  his 
glory  from  the  rising  of  the  sun. 
When  the  enemy  shall  come  in  -^like 
a flood,  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  shall 
®lift  up  a standard  against  him. 

20  ^ And  Hhe  Redeemer  shall 
come  to  Zi-On,  and  unto  them  that

1 The  glory  of  the  church  in  the  abundant  access  of  the  Gen- 
tiles, 15  and  the  great  blessings  after  a short  affliction. 

ARISE,  ^ shine  for  thy  light  is 
come,  and  -^the  glory  of  the 
Lord  is  risen  upon  thee. 

2 For,  behold,  the  darkness  shall 
cover  the  earth,  and  gross  darkness 
the  people : but  the  Lord  shall  arise 
upon  thee,  and  his  glory  shall  be 
seen  upon  thee. 

3 And  the  ^ (>6n-tiles  shall  come  to 
thy  light,  and  kings  to  the  bright- 
ness of  thy  rising. 

4 ’Lift  up  thine  eyes  round  about, 
and  see : all  they  gather  themselves 
together,  * they  come  to  thee : thy 
sons  shall  come  from  far,  and  thy 
daughters  shall  be  nursed  at  thy 
side. 

5 Then  thou  shalt  see,  and  now 
together,  and  thine  heart  shall  fear, 
and  be  enlarged  ; because  ’“the  ^a- 
bundance  of  the  sea  shall  be  con- 
verted unto  thee,  the  ® forces  of  the 
Gen-tlles  shall  come  unto  thee. 

6 The  multitude  of  camels  shall 

cover  thee,  the_  dromedaries  of 
Mid4-an  and  ”E-phah;  all  they 
from  °She-ba  shaU  come : they  shall 
bring  ® gold  and  incense ; and  they 
shall  shew  forth  the  praises  of  the 
Lord.  , , „ , 

7 All  the  flocks  of  * Ke-dar  shall  be

unto  thee : they  shall  come  up 
with  acceptance  on  mine  altai^  and 
*I  will  glorify  the  house  of  my 
glory. 

8 Who  are  these  that  fly  as  a 
cloud,  and  as  the  doves  to  their 
windows  1 

9 * Surely  the  isles  shall  wait  for 
me,  and  the  ships  of  Tar-shish  first, 
“to  bring  thy  sons  from  far,  their 
silver  and  their  gold  with  them, 
‘^unto  the  name  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  to  the  Holy  One  of  Is-

thee. 

11  Therefore  thy  gates  “shall  be 
open  continually  ; they  shall  not  be 
shut  day  nor  night ; that  men  may 
bring  unto  thee  the  ^forces  of  the 
OSn-tiles,  and  that  their  kings  may 
he  brought. 

12  ®For  the  nation  and  kingdom 
that  will  not  serve  thee  shall  perish ; 
yea,  those  nations  shall  be  utterly 
wasted. 

13  *The  glory  of  L6b-a-n5n  shall 
come  unto  thee,  the  fir  tree,  the 
pine  tree,  and  the  box  together,  to 
beautify  the  place  of  my  sanctu- 
ary ; and  I will  make  ^the  place  of 
my  feet  glorious. 

14  The  sons  also  of  them  that 
afflicted  thee  shall  come  bending 
unto  thee;  and  all  they  that  de- 
spised thee  shall  "bow  themselves 
down  at  the  soles  of  thy  feet ; and 
they  shall  call  thee.  The  city  of  the 
Loed,  ’‘The  Zi-5n  of  the  Holy  One 
of  Is-ra-6l. 

15  Whereas  thou  hast  been  for- 
saken and  hated,  so  that  no  man 
went  through  thee,  I will  make  thee 
an  eternal  excellency,  a joy  of  many 
generations. 

16  Thou  shalt  also  suck  the  milk 
of  the  (j6n-tlle§,  ^and  shalt  suck  the 
breast  of  kings  : and  thou  shalt 
know  that  I the  Lord  am  thy 
Saviour  and  thy  Eedeemer,  the 
mighty  One  of  Ja-cob. 

17  For  brass  I will  bring  gold,  and 
for  iron  I will  bring  silver,  and  for 
wood  brass,  and  for  stones  iron : I 
will  also  make  thy  officers  peace, 
and  thine  exactors  righteousness. 

^ 18  Violence  shall  no  more  be  heard 
in  thy  land,  wasting  nor  destruction 
within  thy  borders  ; but  thou  shalt 
call  “thy  walls  Salvation,  and  thy 
gates  Praise. 

19  The  ®sun  shall  be  no  more  thy 
light  by  day ; neither  for  brightness 
shall  the  moon  give  light  unto  thee : 
but  the  Lord  shall  be  unto  thee  an 
everlasting  light,  and  ®thy  God  thy 
glory. 

20  -^Thjr  sun  shall  no  more  go 
down ; neither  shall  thy  moon  with- 
draw itself : for  the  Lord  shall  be 
thine  everlasting  light,  and  the  days 
of  thy  mourning  shall  be  ended. 

21  *Thy  people  also  shall  be  all 
righteous : *they  shall  inherit  the 
land  for  ever,  ""the  branch  of  my 

' planting,  "the  work  of  my  hands, 
that  I may  be  glorified. 

22  ^A  little  one  shall  become  a 
thousand,  and  a small  one  a strong 
nation : I the  Lord  will  hasten  it  in 
his  time.

holy  people.  The  redeemed  of  the 
Lord  : and  thou  shalt  be  called, 
Sought  out,  A city  not  forsaken. 

CHAPTER  63. 

1 Christ  sheweth  who  he  is,  2 what  his  victory  over  his  ene- 
mies, 7 and  what  his  mercy  toward  his  church.  10  In  his 
just  wrath  he  remembereth  his  free  mercy.  15  Israel's 
prayer,  17  and  complaint. 

HO  is  this  that  cometh  from 
, , E-ddm,  with  dyed  garments 
from  B5z-rahl  this  that  is  ^glorious 
in  his  apparel,  travelling  in  the 
greatness  of  his  strength*?  I that 
speak  in  righteousness,  mighty  to 
save. 

2 Wherefore  ^art  thou  red  in  thine 
apparel,  and  thy  garments  like  him 
that  treadeth  in  the  winefat  ? 

3 I have  -^trodden  the  winepress 
alone ; and  of  the  people  there  was 
none  with  me : for  I will  tread  them 
in  mine  anger,  and  trample  them  in 
my  fury:  and  their  blood  shall  be 
sprinkled  upon  my  garments,  and  I 
will  stain  all  my  raiment. 

4 For  the  *day  of  vengeance  is  in 
mine  heart,  and  the  year  of  my  re- 
deemed is  come. 

5 ^And  I looked,  and  there  was 
none  to  help  ; and  I wondered  that 
there  was  none  to  uphold:  there- 
fore mine  own  ”arm  brought  salva- 
tion unto  me;  and  my  fury,  it 
upheld  me. 

6 And  I will  tread  down  the 
people  in  mine  anger,  and  s^make 
them  drunk  in  my  fury,  and  I 
will  bring  down  their  strength  to 
the  earth. 

7 H I will  mention  the  loving- 
kindnesses  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
praises  of  the  Lord,  according  to 
all  that  the  Lord  hath  bestowed 
on  us,  and  the  great  goodness  to- 
ward the  house  of  Is-ra-el,  which 
he  hath  bestowed  on  them  accord- 
ing to  his  mercies,  and  according 
to  the  multitude  of  his  loving- 

Iri  Tirl  n AQQPQ 

8 For  he  said,  Surely  they  are  my 
Iieople,  children  that  will  not  lie: 
so  he  was  their  Saviour. 

9 *In  all  their  affliction  he  was 

afflicted,  "=and  the  angel  of  his  pres- 
ence saved  them : ^'in  his  love  and 
in  his  pity  he  redeemed  them  ; and 
“he  bare  them,  and  carried  them  all 
the  days  of  old.  , „ , . 

10  H But  they  “rebelled,  and 
vexed  his  holy  Spirit:  “therefore 

he  was  turned  to  be  their  enemy, 
and  he  fought  against  them. 

1 1 Then  he  remembered  the  days 
of  old,  Mo-sgSj  and  his  people, 
saying,  Where  is  he  that  '^brought 
them  up  out  of  the  sea  with  the 
^shepherd  of  his  flock?  ‘where  is 


A prayer  for  the

he  that  put  his  holy  Spirit  within 

himl 

12  That  led  them  by  the  right 
hand  of  Mo-s6s  ^with  his  glorious 
arm,  **  dividing  the  water  before 
them,  to  make  himself  an  ever- 
lasting name'? 

13  ®That  led  them  thr9ugh  the 
deep,  as  an  horse  in  the  wilderness, 
that  they  should  not  stumble  ? 

14  As  a beast  goeth  down  into  the 
valley,  the  Spirit  of  the  Loed  caused 
him  to  rest : so  didst  thou  lead  thy 
people,  •'^to  make  thyself  a glorious 
name. 

15  H *Look  down  from  heaven,  and 
behold  "‘from  the  habitation  of  thy 
holiness  and  of  thy  glory:  where 
is  thy  zeal  and  thy  strength,  ^the 
sounding  "of  thy  bowels  and  of  thy 
mercies  toward  me'?  are  they  re- 
strained '? 

16  » Doubtless  thou  our  father, 
though  A-brAham  *be  ignorant  of 
us,  and  ls-ra-6l  acknowledge  us  not : 
thou,  O Lord,  art  our  father,  ^ our 
redeemer;  thy  name  is  from  ever- 
lasting. 

17  H O Lord,  why  hast  thou  *made 
us  to  err  from  thy  ways,  and  ^hard- 
ened our  heart  from  thy  fear'?  ^Re- 
turn for  thy  servants’ sake,  the  tribes 
of  thine  inheritance. 

18  “The  people  of  thy  holiness 
have  possessed  it  but  a little  while : 
our  adversaries  have  trodden  down 
thy  sanctuary. 

19  We  are  thine:  thou  never  bar- 
est rule  over  them ; ® they  were  not 
called  by  thy  name.

that  sought  me  not : I said.  Behold

was  not  called  by  my  name. 

2 "I  have  spread  out  rny  hands  all

which  walketh  in  a way  that  was 
not  good,  after  their  own  thoughts;

cense  upon  the  mountains,  “and 

blasphemed  me  upon  the  hills : 
therefore  will  I measure  their  for- 
mer work  into  their  bosom. 

8 H Thus  saith  the  Lord,  As  the 
new  wine  is  found  in  the  cluster, 
and  one  saith.  Destroy  it  not ; for 
®a  blessing  is  in  it : so  will  I do  for 
my  servants’  sakes,  that  I may  not 
destroy  them  all. 

9 And  I will  bring  forth  a seed  out 
of  Ja-e5b,  and  out  of  Ju-dah  an  in- 
heritor of  my  mountains : and  mine 
®elect  shall  inherit  it,  and  my  serv- 
ants shall  dwell  there. 

10  And  Shar-5n  shall  be  a fold  of 
flocks,  and  ®'the  valley  of  A-ehor  a 
place  for  the  herds  to  lie  down  in, 
for  my  people  that  have  sought 
me. 

11^  But  ye  are  they  that  forsake 
the  Lord,  that  forget  *my  holy 
mountain,  that  prepare  *a  table  for 
that  ‘^trooi),  and  that  furnish  the 
drink  offering  unto  that  ^number. 

12  Therefore  will  I number  you 
to  the  sword,  and  ye  shall  all  bow 
down  to  the  slaughter:  ” because 
when  I called,  ye  did  not  answer ; 
when  I spake,  ye  did  not  hear- 
but  did  evil  before  mine  eyes,  and 
did  choose  that  wherein  I delighted 
not. 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  Behold,  my  servants  shall  eat, 
but  ye  shall  be  hungry:  behold, 
my  servants  shall  drink,  but  ye 
shall  be  thirsty:  behold,  my  serv- 
ants shall  rejoice,  but  ye  shall  be 
ashamed : 

14  Behold,  my  servants  shall  sing 
for  joy  of  heart,  but  ye  shall  cry  for 

'sorrow  of  heart,  and  ’’shall  howl  for 
^vexation  of  spirit. 

15  And  ye  shall  leave  your  name 
*for  a curse  unto  my  chosen : for 
the  Lord  God  shall  slay  thee,  and

®ye  that  tremble  at  his  word  ; Your 
brethren  that  hated  you,  that  cast 
you  out  for  my  name’s  sake,  said, 
®Let  the  Lord  be  glorified  : but  ‘^he 
shall  appear  to  your  joy,  and  they 
shall  be  ashamed.

I forth ; before  her  pain  came,  she  was

I who  hath  seen  such  things  % Shall 
I the  earth  be  made  to  bring  forth 
' in  one  day '?  or  shall  a nation  be 
j born  at  once  1 for  as  soon  as  Zi-5n 
I travailed,  she  brought  forth  her 
I children. 

1 9 Shall  I bring  to  the  birth,  and 

I not  cause  to  bring  forth  1 saith  the

love  her:  rejoice  for  ioy  with  her, 
all  ye  that  mourn  for  her : 

1 1 That  ye  may  suck,  and  be  satis- 
fied with  the  breasts  of  her  conso- 
lations ; that  ye  may  milk  out.  and 
be  delighted  with  the  '‘abundance 
of  her  glory. 

12  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold, H will  extend  peace  to  her 
like  a river,  and  the  glory  of  the 
G6n-tile§  like  a flowing  stream : 
then  shall  ye  "‘suck,  ye  shall  be

gather  all  nations  and  tongues ; and 
they  shall  come,  and  see  my  glory.

that  have  transgressed  against  me :

B6n-ja-min : 

2 To  whom  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  in  the  days  of  Jo-si-ah  the  son 
of  A-m5n  king  of  Ju-dah,  *in  the 
thirteenth  year  of  his  reign.

JEREMIAH,  2. 


calling  of  Jeremiah. 


3 It  came  also  in  the  days  of  Je- 
hoi-a-kim  the  son  of  Jo-si-ah  king 
of  Ju-dah,  *unto  the  end  of  the 
eleventh  year  of  Zed-6-ki-ah  the 
son  of  Jo-si-ah  king  of  Ju-dah,/ un- 
to the  carrying  away  of  Je-ru-sa-l6m 
captive  ®in  the  fifth  month. 

4 Then  the  word  of  the  Loed  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

5 Before  I ^formed  thee  in  the  belly 
^ I knew  thee ; and  before  thou 
earnest  forth  out  of  the  womb  I 
* sanctified  thee,  and  I ^ordained 
thee  a prophet  unto  the  nations. 

6 Then  said  I,  *Ah,  Lord  God  ! 
behold,  I cannot  speak : for  I am 
a child. 

7 H But  the  Loed  said  unto  me, 
Say  not,  I am  a child : for  thou 
shalt  go  to  all  that  I shall  send 
thee,  and  ^whatsoever  I command 
thee  thou  shalt  speak. 

8 Be  not  afraid  of  their  faces : 
for  ”I  am  with  thee  to  deliver  thee, 
saith  the  Loed. 

9 Then  the  Loed  put  forth  his 
hand,  and  " touched  my  mouth. 
And  the  Loed  said  unto  me.  Be- 
hold, I have  ®put  my  words  in  thy 
mouth. 

10  *See,  I have  this  day  set  thee 
over  the  nations  and  over  the  king- 
doms, to  *root  out,  and  to  pull  down, 
and  to  destroy,  and  to  throw  down, 
to  build,  and  to  plant. 

11  U Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Loed  came  unto  me,  saying,  J6r-e- 
mi-ah,  what  seest  thou  1 And  I said, 
I see  a rod  of  an  almond  tree. 

12  Then  said  the  Loed  unto  me. 
Thou  hast  well  seen : for  I will 
hasten  my  word  to  perform  it. 

13  And  the  word  of  the  Loed 
came  unto  me  the  second  time, 
saying  What  seest  thoul  And  I 
said,  I see  * a seething  pot  • and 
the  face  thereof  is  toward  the 
north. 

14  Then  the  Loed  said  unto  me. 
Out  of  the  ^ north  an  evil  ® shall 
break  forth  upon  all  the  inhabit- 
ants of  the  land. 

15  For,  lo,  I will  ‘^call  all  the  fami- 
lies of  the  kingdoms  of  the  north, 
saith  the  Loed  ; and  they  shall 
come,  and  they  shall  -^set  every 
one  his  throne  at  the  entering  of 
the  gattss  of  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  a- 
gainst  all  the  walls  thereof  round 
about,  and  against  all  the  cities  of 
Ju-dah. 

16_And  I will  utter  my  judgments 
against  them  touching  all  their 
wickedness,  ‘who  have  forsaken 
me,  and  have  burned  incense  unto 
other  gods,  and  worshipped  the 
works  of  their  own  hands.

Moreover  the  word  of  the 

Loed  came  to  me,  saying^ 

2  Go  and  cry  in  the  ears  of  Je-ru- 
sa-lem,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Loed  ; 
I remember  ^thee,  the  kindness  of 
thy  youth,  the  love  of  thine  es- 
pousals, ^when  thou  wen  test  after 
me  in  the  wilderness,  in  a land  that 
was  not  sown. 

3  ‘‘Is-ra-el  was  holiness  unto  the 
Loed,  and  the  firstfruits  of  his  in- 
crease: all  that  devour  him  shall 
offend ; evil  shall  come  upon  them, 
saith  the  Loed. 

4  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Loed, 
O house  of  Ja-c6b,  and  all  the  fami- 
lies of  the  house  of  Is-ra-el : 

5 51  Thus  saith  the  Loed,  “What 
iniquity  have  your  fathers  found 
in  me,  that  they  are  gone  far  from 
me,  *and  have  walked  after  vanity, 
and  are  become  vain  % 

6 Neither  said  they.  Where  is  the 
Loed  that  ^brought  us  up  out  of  the 
land  of  E-gypt,  that  led  us  through 
“the  wilderness,  through  a land  of 
deserts  and  of  pits,  through  a land 
of  drought,  and  of  the  shadow  of 
death,  through  a land  that  no  man 

gassed  through,  and  where  no  man 
welt  % 

7 And  I brought  you  into  ®a®  plenti- 
ful country,  to  eat  the  fruit  thereof 
and  the  goodness  thereof ; but  when 
ye  entered,  ye  ® defiled  my  land,  and 
made  mine  heritage  an  abomination. 
8 The  priests  said  not.  Where  is 
the  LoedI  and  they  that  handle  the 
^law  knew  me  not : the  pastors  also 
transgressed  against  me,  ^and  the 
prophets  prophesied  by  Ba-al,  and 
walked  after  things  that  do  not 
profit. 

9 51  Wherefore  *I  will  yet  plead  with 
you,  saith  the  Loed,  and  with  your 
children’s  children  will  I plead.

my  people  have  changed  their  glory 
for  that  which  doth  not  profit. 

12  Be  astonished,  O ye  heavens,  at 
this,  and  be  horribly  afraid,  be  ye 
very  desolate,  saith  the  Lord. 

13  For  my  people  have  committed

’’in  the  way  of  E-gypt,  to  drink  the 
waters  of  *Si-h6rl  or  what  hast 
thou  to  do  in  the  way  of  As-syr4-a, 
to  drink  the  waters  of  the  river '? 

19  Thine  own  ^wickedness  shall 
correct  thee,  and  thy  backslidings 
shall  reprove  thee : know  therefore 
and  see  that  it  is  an  evil  thing  and 
hitter,  that  thou  hast  forsaken  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  that  my  fear  not

20  H For  of  old  time  I have  broken 
thy  yoke,  and  burst  thy  bands  ; and 
thou  saidst,  I will  not  ^ transgress  ; 
when  ^upon  every  high  hill  and 
under  every  green  tree  thou  wan- 
derest,  “playing  the  harlot. 

21  Yet  I had  planted  thee  a noble 
vine,  wholly  a right  seed : how  then 
art  thou  turned  into  ‘'the  degenerate 
plant  of  a strange  vine  unto  me '? 

22  For  though  thou  wash  thee 
with  nitre,  and  take  thee  much

but  thou  saidst,  ^ There  is  no  hope : 
no ; for  I have  loved  strangers,  and 
after  them  will  I go. 

26  As  the  thief  is  ashamed  when, 
he  is  found,  so  is  the  house  of  Is-ra- 
6l  ashamed  ; they,  their  kings,  their 
princes,  and  their  priests,  and  their 
prophets, 

27  Saying  to  a stock.  Thou  art  my 
father;  and  to  a stone.  Thou  hast 
^brought  me  forth : for  they  have 
turned  their  back  unto  me,  and  not 
their  face ; but  in  the  time  of  their 
■^trouble  they  wiU  say.  Arise,  and 
save  us. 

28  But  where  are  thy  gods  that 
thou  hast  made  thee?  let  them 
arise,  if  they  ^can  save  thee  in  the 
time  of  thy  ® trouble : for  ^ciccord- 
ing  to  the  number  of  thy  cities  are 
thy  Gods,  O J u-dah. 

29  Wherefore  will  ye  plead  with 
me?  ye  all  have  transgressed  against 
me,  saith  the  Lord. 

30  In  vain  have  I ‘'smitten  your 
children ; they  received  no  correc- 
tion : your  own  sword  hath  « de- 
voured your  prophets,  like  a de- 
stroying lion. 

31  51  O generation,  see  ve  the  word 
of  the  Lord.  Have  I been  a wil- 
derness unto  Is-ra-6l?  a land  of 
darkness?  wherefore  say  my  peo- 
ple, ^We  are  lords ; “we  will  come 
no  more  unto  thee? 

32  Can  a maid  forget  her  orna- 
ments, or  a bride  her  attire?  yet 
my  people  ‘'have  forgotten  me  days 
without  number. 

33  Why  trimmest  thou  thv  way  to 
seek  love  ? therefore  hast  thou  also 
taught  the  wicked  ones  thy  ways. 

34  Also  in  thy  skirts  is  found  Hhe 
blood  of  the  souls  of  the  poor  inno- 
cents : I have  not  found  it  oy  ^secret 
search,  but  upon  all  these. 

35  Yet  thou  sayest.  Because  I am 
innocent,  surely  his  anger  shall  turn 
from  me.  Behold,  I will  plead  with 
thee,  because  thou  sayest,  I have 
not  sinned. 

36  «Why  gaddest  thou  about  so 
much  to  change  thy  way?  thou 
also  shalt  be  ashamed  of  E-gypt, 
'‘as  thou  wast  ashamed  of  As-syr-i-a. 

37  Yea,  thou  shalt  go  forth  from  him, 
and  thine  hands  upon  thine  head  : 
for  the  Lord  hath  rejected  thy  con- 
fidences, and  thou  shalt  not  prosper 
in  them.

hast  ‘Splayed  the  harlot  with  many

saith  the  Lord. 

2  Lift  up  thine  eyes  unto  '"the  high 
places,  and  see  where  thou  hast  not 
been  lien  with.  * In  the  ways  hast 
thou  sat  for  them,  as  the  A-ra-bi-an 
in  the  wilderness ; ""and  thou  hast 

§olluted  the  land  with  thy  whore- 
oms  and  with  thy  wickedness. 

3  Therefore  the  "showers  have  been 
withholden,  and  there  hath  been 
no  latter  rain ; and  thou  hadst  a 
‘’whore’s  forehead,  thou  refusedst  to 
be  ashamed. 

4  Wilt  thou  not  from  this  time 
cry  unto  me.  My  father,  thou  art 
^the  guide  of  ®my  youth? 

5  "'Will  he  reserve  anger  for 
ever?  will  he  keep  it  to  the  end? 
Behold,  thou  hast  spoken  and  done 
evil  things  as  thou  couldest. 

6  51  The  Lord  said  also  unto  me  in 
the  days  of  Jo-si-ah  the  king.  Hast 
thou  seen  that  which  backsliding 
Is-ra-el  hath  done?  she  is  gone  up 
upon  every  high  mountain  and 
under  every  green  tree,  and  there 
hath  played  the  harlot. 

7  "And  I said  after  she  had  done 
all  these  things,  Turn  thou  unto  me. 
But  she  returned  not.  And  her 
treacherous  sister  Ju-dah  saw  it. 
8 And  I saw,  when  /for  all  the 
causes  whereby  backsliding  Is-ra-6l 
committed  adultery  I had  /“put  her 
away,  and  given  her  a bill  of  di- 
vorce; yet  her  treacherous  sister 
Ju-dah  feared  not,  but  went  and 
played  the  harlot  also. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  through 
the  ^lightness  of  her  whoredom, 
that  she  defiled  the  land,  and  com- 
mitted adultery  with  ‘'stones  and 
with  stocks. 

10  And  yet  for  all  this  her  treach- 
erous sister  Ju-dah  hath  not  turned 
unto  me  •''with  her  whole  heart,  but 
^feignedly,  saith  the  Lord. 

1 1  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
*The  backsliding  Is-ra-el  hath  justi- 
fied herself  more  than  treacherous 
Juhiah. 

12  II  Go  and  proclaim  these  words 
toward  the  north,  and  say.  Return, 
thou  backsliding  Is-ra-el,  saith  the 
Lord;  and  I will  not  cause  mine 
anger  to  fall  upon  you:  for  I am 
""merciful,  saith  the  Lord,  and  I 
will  not  keep  anger  for  ever. 

13  ""Only  acknowledge  thine  iniq- 
uity, that  thou  hast  transgressed 
against  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  hast 
^scattered  thy  ways  to  the  strangers

of  a city,  and  two  of  a family,  and

19  The  miseries  of  J udah. 

IF  thou  wilt  return,  O Is-ra-el, 
saith  the  Lord,  -^return  unto 
me:  and  if  thou  wilt  put  away 
thine  abominations  out  of  my

2 '‘And  thou  shalt  swear.  The  Lord 
liveth,  dn  truth,  in  judgment,  and 
in  righteousness;  *and  the  nations 
shall  bless  themselves  in  him,  and 
in  him  shall  they  ^glory. 

3  ^ For  thus  saith  the  Lord  to  the 
men  of  Ju-dah  and  JAru-sa-lem, 
” Break  up  your  fallow  ground,  and 
Psow  not  among  thorns. 

4  ^ Circumcise  yourselves  to  the 
Lord,  and  take  away  the  foreskins 
of  your  heart,  ye  men  of  Ju-dah  and 
inhabitants  of  Jo-ru-sAlem : lest  my 
fury  come  forth  like  fire,  and  burn 
that  none  can  quench  it,  because  of 
; the  evil  of  your  doings. 

5  Declare  ye  in  J u-dah,  and  publish 
; in  Je-ru-sa-lem ; and  say,  Blow  ye 
I the  trumpet  in  the  land : cry,  gather 
together,  and  say,  ^Assemole  your- 
selves, and  let  us  go  into  the  de- 
fenced  cities. 

6  Set  up  the  standard  toward 
Zi-On : ^retire,  stay  not : for  I will 
bring  evil  from  the  north,  and  a 
great  ^ destruction. 

7 /The  lion  is  come  up  from  his

forth  from  his  place  “to  make  thy 
land  desolate ; avd  thy  cities  shall 
be  laid  waste,  without  an  inhabit- 
ant. 

8  For  this  “gird  you  with  sack- 
cloth, lament  and  howl : for  the 
fierce  anger  of  the  Lord  is  not 
turned  back  from  us. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  at  that 
day,  saith  the  Lord,  that  the  heart 
of  the  king  shall  perish,  and  the 
heart  of  the  princes ; and  the  priests

CHAPTER  5. 

1 The  judgments  of  God  upon  the  Jeivs,  for  perverse'ness, 

7 for  adultery,  10  for  impiety,  19  for  contempt  of  God, 

25  and  for  their  great  corruption. 

"P  UN  ye  to  and  fro  through  the 
XV)  streets  of  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  see 
now,  and  know,  and  seek  in  the 
broad  places  thereof,  Hf  ye  can 
find  a man,  “"if  there  be  any  that 
executeth  judgment,  that  seeketh 
the  truth;  ^and  I will  pardon  it. 

2 And^  “though  they  say,  *The 
Loed  liveth ; surely  they  ® swear 
falsely. 

3 O Lord,  are  not  thine  eyes 
upon  the  truth'?  thou  hast  ® stricken 
them  but  they  have  not  grieved ; 
thou  hast  consumed  them,  but  -^they 
have  refused  to  receive  correction: 
they  have  made  their  faces  harder 
than  a rock;  they  have  refused  to 
return. 

4 Therefore  I said.  Surely  these 
are  poor ; they  are  foolish : for  '"they 
know  not  the  way  of  the  Lord,  nor 
the  judgment  of  their  God. 

5 I will  get  me  unto  the  great  men, 
and  will  speak  unto  them ; for  *they 
have  known  the  way  of  the  Lord, 
and  the  judgment  of  their  God : 
but  these  have  altogether  broken 
the  yoke,  and  burst  the  bonds. 

6 Wherefore  "a  lion  out  of  the 
forest  shall  slay  them,  ^and  a wolf 
of  the  ^evenings  shall  spoil  them,  ’’a 
leopard  shall  watch  over  their  cities : 
every  one  that  goeth  out  thence 
shall  be  torn  in  pieces : because 
their  transgressions  are  many,  and 
their  backslidings  ^are  increased. 

7 H How  shall  I pardon  thee  for 
thisi  thy  children  have  forsaken

no  gods  : ‘^when  I had  fed  them  to 
the  full,  they  then  committed  adul- 
tery, and  assembled  themselves  by 
troops  in  the  harlots’  houses. 

8 ®They  were  as  fed  horses  in  the 
morning : every  one  -^neighed  after 
his  neighbour’s  wife. 

9/ Shall  I not  visit  for  these  things? 
saith  the  Lord  : ^and  shall  not  pay 
soul  be  avenged  on  such  a nation 
as  this 

10  H *Go  ye  up  upon  her  walls, 
and  destroy ; ^ but  make  not  a full 
end  : take  away  her  battlements ; 
for  they  are  not  the  Lord’s. 

11  For  ’^the  house  of  Is-ra-el  and 
the  house  of  Ju-dah  have  dealt  very 
treacherously  against  me,  saith  the 
Lord. 

12  "They  have  belied  the  Lord, 
and  said,  ^ It  is  not  he ; neither 
shall  evil  come  upon  us ; neither 
shall  we  see  sword  nor  famine: 

13  And  the  prophets  shall  become 
wind,  and  the  word  is  not  in  them : 
thus  shall  it  be  done  unto  them. 

14  Wherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  hosts.  Because  ye  speak  this 
word,  * behold,  I will  make  my  words 
in  thy  mouth  fire,  and  this  people 
wood,  and  it  shall  devour  them. 

15  Lo,  I will  bring  a “nation  upon 
you  ^from  far,  O house  of  Is-ra-el, 
saith  the  Lord  : it  a mighty  nation, 
it  is  an  ancient  nation,  a nation 
whose  language  thou  knowest  not, 
neither  understandest  what  they 
say. 

1 6 Their  quiver  is  as  an  open  sep- 
ulchre, they  are  all  mighty  men._ 

17  And  they  shall  eat  up  thine 
^harvest,  and  thy  bread,  which  thy 
sons  and  thy  daughters  should  eat : 
they  shall  eat  up  thy  flocks  and  thine 
herds : they  shall  eat  up  thy  vines 
and  thy  fig  trees : they  shall  im- 
poverish thy  fenced  cities,  wherein 
thou  trustedst,  with  the  sword. 

18  Nevertheless  in  those  days,  saith 
the  Lord,  I *will  not  make  a full 
end  with  you. 

19  ^ And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  ye  shall  say,  * Wherefore  dqeth 
the  Lord  our  God  all  these  things 
unto  US'?  then  shalt  thou  answer 
them.  Like  as  ye  have  “forsaken  me, 
and  served  strange  gods  in  your 
land,  so  ® shall  ye  serve  strangers  in 
a land  that  is  not  your’s. 

20  Declare  this  in  the  house  of  Ja- 
-e5b,  and  publish  it  in  Ju-dah,  saying, 

21  Hear  now  this,  O * foolish  peo- 
ple, and  without  ^understanding; 
which  have  eyes,  and  see  not ; 
which  have  ears,  and  hear  not :

thereof  toss  themselves,  yet  can 
they  not  prevail ; though  they  roar, 
yet  can  they  not  pass  over  it  1 

23  But  this  people  hath  a revolt- 
ing and  a reoellious  heart ; they 
are  revolted  and  gone. 

24  Neither  say  they  in  their  heart, 
Let  us  now  fear  the  Lokd  our  God, 
'^that  giveth  rain,  both  the  "former 
and  the  latter,  in  his  season  : ^he 
reserveth  unto  us  the  appointed 
weeks  of  the  harvest. 

25  ^ Your  iniquities  have  turned 
away  these  things,  and  your  sins 
have  withholden  good  things  from 

^26  For  among  my  people  are  found 
wicked  men : ^they  *lay  wait,  as  he 
that  setteth  snares ; they  set  a trap, 
they  catch  men. 

27  As  a ^cage  is  full  of  birds,  so 
are  their  houses  full  of  deceit : 
therefore  they  are  become  great, 
and  waxen  rich. 

28  They  are  waxen  ^fat,  they  shine : 
yea,  they  overpass  the  deeds  of  the 
wicked  : they  judge  not  ”the  cause, 
the  cause  of  the  fatherless,  ^yet 
they  prosper ; and  the  right  of  the 
needy  do  they  not  judge. 

29  8 Shall  I not  visit  for  these 
things!  saith  the  Lord:  shall  not 
my  soul  be  avenged  on  such  a na- 
tion as  this  1

it  so : and  what  will  ye  do  in  the

ing are  stretched  out. 

5 Arise,  and  let  us  go  by  night, 
and  let  us  destroy  her  palaces. 

6 For  thus  hath  the  Lord  of 
hosts  said.  Hew  :ye  down  trees,  and 
^cast  a mount  against  JAru-sa-lem : 
this  is  the  city  t9  be^  visited ; she 
is  wholly  oppression  in  the  midst 
of  her. 

7 ■'^As  a fountain  casteth  out  her 
waters,  so  she  casteth  out  her 
wickedness : '‘violence  and  spoil  is 
heard  in  her;  before  me  continu- 
ally is  grief  and  wounds. 

8 Be  thou  instructed,  O Je-ru- 
sa-lem,  lest  "my  soul  ^depart  from 
thee;  lest  I make  thee  desolate,  a 
land  not  inhabited. 

9 ^ Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 
They  shall  throughly  glean  the 
remnant  of  Is-ra-el  as  a vine : turn 
back  thine  hand  as  a grapegatherer 
into  the  baskets. 

10  To  whom  shall  I speak,  and 
give  warning,  that  they  may  hear  ? 
behold,  their  ”"ear  is  uncircumcised, 
and  they  cannot  hearken:  behold, 
"the  word  of  the  Lord  is  unto  them 
a reproach ; they  have  no  delight 

1 Therefore  I am  full  of  the  fury 
of  the  Lord;  "*I  am  weary  with 
holding  in:  I will  pour  it  out  *upon 
the  children  abroad,  and  upon  the 
assembly  of  young  men  together: 
for  even  the  husband  with  the  wife 
shall  be  taken,  the  aged  with  hifu 
that  is  full  of  days. 

1 2 And  “ their  h9uses  shall  be  turned 
unto  others,  with  their  fields  and 
wives  together : for  I will  stretch 
out  my  hand  upon  the  inhabitants 
of  the  land,  saith  the  Lord. 

13  For  from  the  least  of  them  even 
unto_  the  greatest  of  them  every 
one  is  given  to  covetousness  ; and 
from  the  prophet  even  unto  the 
priest  every  one  dealeth  falsely. 

14  They  have  ^healed  also  the 
diurt  of  the  daughter  of  my  people 
slightly,  “saying.  Peace,  peace ; when 
there  is  no  peace. 

15  Were  they  "ashamed  when  they 
had  committed  abomination?  nay, 
they  were  not  at  all  ashamed,  nei- 
ther could  they  blush:  therefore 
they  shall  fall  among  them  that  fall : 
at  the  time  that  I visit  them  they 
shall  be  cast  down,  saith  the  Lord. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Stand  ye 
in  the  ways,  and  see,  and  ask  for 
the  "old  paths,  where  is  the  good 
way,  and  walk  therein,  and  ye  shall

17  Also  I set  * watchmen  over  you, 
saying.  Hearken  to  the  sound  of  the 
trumpet.  But  they  said.  We  will

18  U Therefore  hear,  ye  nations,

‘^the  fruit  of  their  thoughts,  be-

rejected  it.

sweet  cane  from  a far  country  1 
-*your  burnt  ofterings  are  not  ac- 
ceptable, nor  your  sacrifices  sweet

21  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I will  lay  stumblingblocks 
before  this  people,  and  the  fathers 
and  the  sons  together  shall  fall 
upon  them;  the  neighbour  and  his 
friend  shall  perish. 

22  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold, 
a people  cometh  from  the  "“north

be  raised  from  the  sides  of  the 
earth. 

23  They  shall  lay  hold  on  bow  and

mercy;  their  voice  ^roareth  like  the 
sea ; and  they  ride  upon  horses,  set

walk  by  the  way  • for  the  sword  of 
the  enemy  and  fear  is  on  every 
side.

*gird  thee  with  sackcloth,  ®and  wal- 
low thyself  in  ashes  : ®make  thee 
rnourning,  as  for  an  only  son,  most 
bitter  lamentation : for  the  spoiler 
shall  suddenly  come  upon  us.

^ a fortress  among  my  people,  that 
thou  mayest  know  and  try  their 
way.

CHAPTER  7. 

1 Jeremiah  is  sent  to  call  for  true  repentance,  to  prevent 
the  Jews'  captivity.  8 He  rejecteth  their  vain  confidence, 
12  hy  the  example  of  Shiloh.  17  He  threateneth  them  for 
their  idolatry.  29  He  exhorteth  to  mourn  for  their  abomi- 
nations in  Tophet. 

The  word  that  came  to  Jer-6-mi- 
ah  from  the  Lord,  saying 
2 Stand  in  the  gate  of  the  Lord’s 
house,  and  proclaim  there  this  word, 
and  say.  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
all  ye  of  Ju-dah,  that  enter  in  at 
these  gates  to  worship  the  Lord. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the 
God  of  Is-ra-6l,  ®Amend  your  ways 
and  your  doings,  and  I will  cause 
you  to  dwell  in  this  place. 

4  * Trust  ye  not  in  lying  words, 
saying.  The  temple  of  the  Lord, 
The  temple  of  the  Lord,  The  tempi©

Q If  jQ  oppress  not  the  stranger,

7  “Then  will  I cause  you  to  dwell 
in  this  place,  in  "the  land  that  I gave 
to  your  fathers,  for  ever  and  ever.

mit adultery,  and  swear  falsely,  and 
burn  incense  unto  Ba-al,  and  *walk 
after  other  gods  whom  ye  know  not ; 

10  ^And  come  and  stand  before  me 
in  this  house,  ^ which  ^ is  called  by 
my  name,  and  say.  We  are  delivered 
to  do  all  these  abominations  % 

11  Is  ^'this  house,  which  is  called 
by  my  name,  become  a ^den  of  rob- 
bers in  your  e;^es  Behold,  even  I 
have  seen  it,  saith  the  Lord. 

12  But  go  ye  now  unto  “my  place 
which  was  in  ShiToh,  where  I set 
my  name  at  the  first,  and  see  -^what 
I did  to  it  for  the  wickedness  of  my 
people  ls-ra-6l. 

13  And  now,  because  ye  have  done 
all  these  works,  saith  the  Lord,  and 
I spake  unto  you,  '"rising  up  early 
and  speaking,  but  ye  heard  not ; and 
I "called  you,  but  ye  answered  not ; 

14  Therefore  will  I do  unto  this

18  ^The  children  gather  wood,  and 
the  fathers  kindle  the  fire,  and  the 
women  knead  their  dough,  to  make

to  ®pour  out  drink  offerings  unto 
other  gods,  that  they  may  provoke 
me  to  anger. 

19  ^Do  they  provoke  me  to  anger  % 
saith  the  Lord  : do  they  not  provoke 
themselves  to  the  confusion  of  their 
own  faces  % 

20  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Behold,  mine  anger  and  my 
fury  shall  be  poured  out  upon  this 
place,  upon  man,  and  upon  beast, 
and  upon  the  trees  of  the  field,  and 
upon  the  fruit  of  the  ground ; and 
it  shah  burn,  and  shall  not  be 
quenched. 

21  ^ Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is-ra-el ; ^Put  your  burnt 
offerings  unto  your  sacrifices,  and 
eat  flesh. 

22  ”For  I spake  not  unto  your  fa- 
thers, nor  commanded  them  in  the 
day  that  I brought  them  out  of  the 
land  of  E-gypt,  f concerning  burnt 
offerings  or  sacrifices : 

23  But  this  thing  commanded  1 
them,  saying,  ^Obey  my  voice,  and 

will  be  your  God,  and  ye  shall  be 
my  people : and  walk  ye  in  all  the 
ways  that  I have  commanded  you, 
that  it  may  be  well  unto  you. 

24  ’'But  they  hearkened  not,  nor 
inclined  their  ear,  but  '' walked  in 
the  counsels  and  in  the  '‘imagina^ 
tion  of  their  evil  heart,  and  *went° 
backward,  and  not  forward. 

25  Since  the  day  that  your  fathers 
came  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt 
unto  this  day  I have  even  “sent  unto 
you  all  my  servants  the  prophets, 
daily  rising  up  early  and  sending 
them : 

26  *Yet  they  hearkened  not  unto 
me,  nor  inclined  their  ear,  but 
^hardened  their  neck ; they  did 
worse  than  their  fathers. 

27  Therefore  *’thou  shalt  speak  all 
these  words  unto  them ; but  they 
will  not  hearken  to  thee  : thou  shalt 
also  call  unto  them ; but  they  will 
not  answer  thee. 

28  But  thou  shalt  say  unto  them. 
This  is  a nation  that  obeyeth  not

up  a lamentation  on  high  places; 
for  the  Lord  hath  rejected  and  for- 
saken the  generation  of  his  wrath. 

30  For  the  children  of  Ju-dah  have 
done  evil  in  my  sight,  saith  the 
Lord  : ‘'they  have  set  their  abomi- 
nations in  the  house  which  is  called 
by  my  name,  to  pollute  it. 

31  And  they  have  built  the  ‘^high 
places  of  To-phet,  which  is  in  the 
valley  of  the  son  of  Hin-n5m,  to 
•''burn  their  sons  and  their  daughters 
in  the  fire ; which  I commanded 
them  not,  neither  ^came  it  into  my 
heart. 

32  ^ Therefore,  behold,  ^‘the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  it  shall 
no  more  be  called  To^het,  nor  the 
valley  of  the  son  of  Hin-nSm,  but 
the  valley  of  slaughter : ffor  they 
shall  bury  in  To-pn6t,  till  there  be 
no  place. 

33  And  the  ^carcases  of  this  people 
shall  be  meat  for  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven,  and  for  the  beasts  of  the 
earth  ; and  none  shall  fray  them 
away. 

34  Then  will  I cause  to  ’“cease  from 
the  cities  of  Ju-dah,  and  from  the 
streets  of  Je-ru-sa-lem,  the  voice  of 
mirth,  and  the  voice  of  gladnes^ 
the  voice  of  the  bridegroom,  and 
the  voice  of  the  bride : for  ‘’the  land 
shall  be  desolate. 

CHAPTER  8. 

1 The  calarrttty  of  the  Jews.  4 He  upbraideth  their  foolish 
and  shameless  impenitency.  13  Their  grievous  judgmentt 
18  and  desperate  estate. 

AT  that  time,  saith  the  Lord,  they 
shall  bring  out  the  bones  of  the 
kings  of  Ju-d^,  and  the  bones  or 
his  princes,  and  the  bones  of  the 
priests,  and  the  bones  of  the  pro- 
phets, and  the  bones  of  the  inhab- 
itants of  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  out  of  their 
graves : 

2 And  they  shall  spread  them  b^ 
fore  the  sun,  and  the  moon,  and  all 
the  host  of  heaven,  whom  they 
have  loved,  and  whom  they  have 
served,  and  after  whom  they  have 
walked,  and  whom  they  have  sought, 
and  "whom  they  have  worshipped : 
they  shall  not  be  gathered,  “nor  be 
buried ; they  shall  be  for  "dung  upon 
the  face  of  the  earth. 

3 And  **  death  shall  be  chosen  rather 

than  life  by  all  the  residue  of  them 
that  remain  of  this  evil  familyj  which 
remain  in  all  the  places  whither  I 
have  driven  them,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts.  ^ 

4 ^ Moreover  thou  shalt  say  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Shall 
they  fall,  and  not  arise"?  shall  he 
turn  away,  and  not  return"?

sAlem  “slidden  back  by  a perpetual

®they  refuse  to  return. 

6 hearkened  and  heard,  but  they 
spake  not  aright : no  man  repented 
him  of  his  wickedness,  saying.  What 
have  I done'?  every  one  turned  to 
his  course,  as  the  horse  rusheth  into 
the  battle. 

7 Yea,  -^the  stork  in  the  heaven 
knoweth  her  appointed  times  ; and 
^the  turtle  and  the  crane  and  the 
swallow  observe  the  time  of  their 
coming ; but  *my  people  know  not 
the  judgment  of  the  Lord. 

8 How  do  ye  say,  We  are  wise, 
*and  the  law  of  the  Lord  is  with 
US'?  Lo,  certainly  ^in  vain  made 
he  it;  the  pen  of  the  scribes  is  in 
vain. 

9 ^The  ®wise  men  are  ashamed, 
they  are  dismayed  and  taken  : lo, 
they  have  rejected  the  word  of  the 
Lord  ; and  ^ what  wisdom  is  in 
them'? 

10  Therefore  ®will  I give  their 
wives  unto  others,_  and  their  fields 
to  them  that  shall  inherit  them : for 
every  one  from  the  least  even  unto 
the  greatest  is  given  to  ^covetous- 
ness, from  the  prophet  even  unto 
the  priest  every  one  dealeth  falsely. 

1 1 For  they  have  ® healed  the 
hurt  of  the  daughter  of  my  people 
slightly,  saying,“Peace,  peace ; when 
there  is  no  peace. 

12  Were  they  * ashamed  when  they 
had  committed  abomination?  na^r, 
they  were  not  at  all  ashamed,  nei- 
ther could  they  blush  : therefore 
shall  they  fall  among  thein  that 
fall : in  the  time  of  their  visitation 
they  shall  be  cast  down,  saith  the 
Lord. 

13  IT  ^ I will  surely  consume  them, 
saith  the  Lord  there  shall  be  no 
grapes  “on  the  vine,  nor  figs  on  the 
* fig  tree,  and  the  leaf  shall  fade ; 
and  the  things  that  I have  given 
them  shall  pass  awas^  from  them. 

14  Why  do  we  sit  still?  assemble 
yourselves,  and  let  us  enter  into 
the  defenced  cities,  and  let  us  be 
silent  there : for  the  Lord  our 
God  hath  put  us  to  silence,  and 
given  us  ^ water  of  ^gall  to  drink, 
because  we  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord. 

15  We  ^looked  for  peace,  but  no 

good  came ; and  for  a time  of 
ealth,  and  behold  tr9uble ! 

1 6  The  snorting  of  his  horses  was 
heard  from  *Dan:  the  whole  land 
trembled  at  the  sound  of  the  neigh-

CHAPTER  9.  - 

1 Jeremiah  lamenteth  the  Jews  for  their  manifold  sins,  9 

and  for  their  judgment.  12  Disobedience  is  the  cause  of 

their  bitter  calamity.  17  He  exhorteth  to  mourn  for  their 

destruction,  23  and  to  trust  not  in  themselves,  but  in  God. 

25  He  threateneth  both  Jews  and  Gentiles. 

OH  ‘that®  my  head  were  waters, 
and  mine  eyes  a fountain  of 
tears,  that  I might  weep  day  and 
night  for  the  slain  of  the  daughter 
of  my  people ! 

2  Oh  that  I had  in  the  wilderness 
a lodging  place  of  wayfaring  men ; 
that  I mi^t  leave  my  people,  and 
go  from  them  ! for  ^ they  be  all 
adulterers,  an  assembly  of  treach- 
erous men. 

3  And  Hhey  bend  their  tongues 
like  their  bow  for  lies : but  they 
are  not  valiant  for  the  truth  upon 
the  earth;  for  they  proceed  from 
evil  to  evil,  and  they  ‘’know  not 
me,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  ‘’Take  ye  heed  every  one  of  his 
Neighbour,  and  trust  ye  not  in  any 
brother  : for  every  brother  will  ut- 
terly supplant,  and  every  neigh- 
bour will  •‘walk  with  slanders. 

5  And  they  will  ® deceive  every 
one  his  neighbour,  and  will  not 
speak  the  truth  : they  have  taught 
their  tongue  to  speak  lies,^  and 
weary  themselves  to  commit  in- 
iquity. 

6  Thine  habitation  is  in  the  midst 
of  deceit;  through  deceit  they  re- 
fuse to  know  me,  saith  the  Lord.

they  have  forsaken  my  law  which 
I set  before  them,  and  have  not 
obeyed  my  voice,  neither  walked 
therein ; 

14  But  have  walked  after  the 
^imagination  of  their  own  heart, 
and  after  Ba-al-im,  « which  their 
fathers  taught  them: 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is-ra-el ; Behold, 
I will  ’■feed  them,  even  this  people, 
*with  wormwood,  and  give  them 
water  of  gall  to  drink. 

16  1 will  “scatter  them  also  among 
the  heathen,  whom  neither  they 
nor  their  fathers  have  known : "'and 
I will  send  a sword  after  them,  till 
I have  consumed  them.

Consider  ye,  and  call  for  *the  mourn- 
ing women,  that  they  may  come ; 
and  send  for  cunning  women,  that 
they  may  come:

take  up  a wailing  for  us,  that  *our 
eyes  may  run  down  with  tears,  and

we  are  greatly  confounded,  because 
we  have  forsaken  the  land,  because

21  For  death  is  come  up  into  our 
windows,  an/d  is  entered  into  our 
palaces,  to  cut  off  the  children  from 
without,  and  the  young  men  from 
the  streets. 

22  Speak,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Even  the  carcases  of  men  shall  fall 
as  dung  upon  the  open  field,  and 
as  the  handful  after  the  harvest- 
man,  and  none  shall  gather  them. 

23  IT  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  ■''Let  not 
the  wise  man  glory  in  his  wisdom, 
neither  let  the  mighty  man  glory 
in  his  might,  let  not  the  rich  man 
glory  in  his  riches  : 

24  But  '"let  him  that  glorieth  glory 
in  this,  that  he  understandeth  and 
knoweth  me,  that  I am  the  Lord 
which  exercise  lovingkindness,  judg- 
ment, and  righteousness,  in  the 
earth:  ^for  in  these  things  I de- 
light, saith  the  Lord. 

25  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 

the  Lord,  that  “ I will  punish  all 
them  which  are  circumcised  with 
the  uncircumcised ; _ 

26  E-gypt,  and  Ju-dah,  and  E-d5m, 
and  the  children  of  Am-m5n,  and 
Mo-ab,  and  all  that  are  ®in  the

uncircumcised,  and  all  the  house  of 
Is-ra-el  are  ‘'uncircumcised  in  the 
heart.

2 Thus  saith  the  Lord,  * Learn  not 

the  way  of  the  heathen,  and  be  not- 
dismayed  at  the  signs  of  heaven; 
for  the  heathen  are  dismayed  at 
them.  ^ , 

3 For  the  ^customs  of  the  people 
are  vain : for  ^one  cutteth  a tree  out 
of  the  forest,  the  work  of  the  hands 
of  the  workman,  with  the  ax. 

4 They  deck  it  with  silver  and  with 
gold ; they  “fasten  it  with  nails  and 
with  hammers,  that  it  move  not. 

5 They  are  upright  as  the  palm 
tree,  ‘'but  speak  not:  they  must 
needs  be  borne,  because  they  can- 
not go.  Be  not  afraid  of  them ; for 
*they  cannot  do  evil,  neither  also  is 
7^  in  them  to  do  good. 

6 Forasmuch  as  there  is  none  •'^like 
unto  thee,  O Lord  ; thou  art  great, 
and  thy  name  is  great  in  might.

it  appertain:  forasmuch  as  “among 
all  the  wise  men  of  the  nations,  and 
in  all  their  kingdoms,  there  is  none 
like  unto  thee. 

8 But  they  are  ^altogether  * brut- 
ish and  foolish  : the  stock  is  a doc- 
trine of  vanities. 

9 Silver  spread  into  plates  is 
brought  from  Tar-shish,  and  ®gold 
from  U-phaz,  the  work  of  the  work- 
man, and  of  the  hands  of  the 
founder:  blue  and  purple  is  their 
clothing : they  are  all  ^ the  work  of 
cunning  men. 

10  But  the  Lokd  is  the  ^true  God, 
he  is  *the  living  God,  and  an  ^ever- 
lasting^ king : at  his  wrath  the  earth 
shall  tremble,  and  the  nations  shall 
not  be  able  to  abide  his  indignation. 

11  ®Thus  shall  ye  say  unto  them, 
“The  gods  that  have  not  made  the 
heavens  and  the  earth,  even  ^they 
shall  perish  from  the  earth,  and 
from  under  these  heavens. 

12  He  «hath  made  the  earth  by 
his  power,  he  hath  established  the 
world  by  his  wisdom,  and  hath 
stretched  out  the  heavens  by  his 
discretion. 

13  *When  he  uttereth  his  voice, 
there  is  a ® multitude  of  waters  in 
the  heavens,  and  *he  causeth  the 
vapours  to  ascend  from  the  ends 
of  the  earth  ; he  maketh  lightnings 
■^with  rain,  and  bringeth  forth  the 
wind  out  of  his  treasures. 

14  Every  man  ®is  ^brutish  in  his 
knowledge  : ^ every  founder  is  con- 
founded by  the  graven  image : “ for 
his  molten  image  is  falsehood,  and 
there  is  no  breath  in  them. 

15  They  are  vanity,  a'nd  the  work 
of  errors  : in  the  time  of  their  visi- 
tation they  shall  perish. 

16  ‘^The  portion  of  Ja^6b  is  not 
like  them : for  he  the  former  of 
all  things;  and  -^Is-ra-gl  is  the  rod 
of  his  inheritance:  ^The  Loed  of 
hosts  is  his  name. 

17^  Gather  up  thy  wares  out  of  the 
land,  O ^ inhabitant  of  the  fortress. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Loed,  Be- 
hold, I will  sling  out  the  inhabit- 
ants of  the  land  at  this  once,  and 
will  distress  them,  *that  they  may 
find  it  so. 

19  U *Woe  is  me  for  my  hurt ! my 
wound  is  grievous:  but  I said,  ""Truly 
this  is  a grief,  and  "I  must  bear  it. 

20  My  tabernacle  is  spoiled,  and  all 
my  cords  are  broken  : my  children 
are  gone  forth  of  me,  and  they  are 
not : there  is  none  to  stretch  forth 
my  tent  any  more,  and  to  set  up

22  Behold,  the  noise  of  the  bruit 
is  come,  and  a great  commotion  out 
of  the  “north  country,  to  make  the 
cities  of  Ju-dah  desolate,  and  a "'den

23  H O Loed,  I know  that  the/way 
of  man  is  not  in  himself : it  is  not 
in  man  that  walketh  to  direct  his 
steps. 

24  O Loed,  ^cwrect  me,  but  with 
judgment ; not  in  thine  anger,  lest 
thou  ^ bring  me  to  nothing. 

25  ^Pour  out  thy  fury  upon  the 
heathen  ""that  know  thee  not,  and 
upon  the  families  that  call  not  on

consumed  him,  and  have  made  his

CHAPTER  11. 

1 Jeremiah  proclaimeth  God's  covenant,  8 rebuketh  the  Jews’ 

disobeying  thereof,  11  prophesieth  evils  to  come  upon  them, 

18  and  upon  the  men  of  Anathoth. 

The  word  that  came  to  J6r-6-mi- 
ah  from  the  Loed,  saying, 

2  Hear  ye  the  words  of  this  cov- 
enant, and  speak  unto  the  men  of 
Ju-dah,  and  to  the  inhabitants  of 
JAru-sa-l6m ; 

3  And  say  thou  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Loed  God  of  Is-ra-6i ; 
“Cursed  be  the  man  that  obeyeth 
not  the  words  of  this  covenant, 

4  Which  I commanded  your  fa- 
thers in  the  day  that  I brought 
them  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
E-gypt,  * from  the  iron  furnace,  say- 
ing, “Obey  my  voice,  and  do  them, 
according  to  all  which  I command 
you  : so  shall  ye  be  my  people,  and 
1 will  be  your  God : 

5  That  I may  perform  the  “oath 
which  I have  sworn  unto  your  fa- 
thers, to  give  them  a land  flowing 
with  milk  and  honey,  as  it  is  this 
day.  Then  answered  I,  and  said, 
®So  be  it,  O Loed. 

6  Then  the  Loed  said  unto  me. 
Proclaim  all  these  words  in  the 
cities  of  Ju-dah,  and  in  the  streets 
of  JAru-sa-lem,  saying.  Hear  ye  the 
words  of  this  covenant,  *and  do 
them. 

7  For  I earnestly  protested  unto 
vour  fathers  in  the  day  that  I 
brought  them  up  out  of  the  land  of 
E-gypt,  even  unto*  this  day,  “rising 
early  and  protesting,  saying.  Obey 
my  voice. 

8  ^Yet  they  obeyed  not,  nor  in- 
clined their  ear,  but  ^ walked  every 
one  in  the  ^ imagination  of  their  evil 
heart : therefore  I will  bring  upon 
them  all  the  words  of  this  covenant,

which  I commanded  them 
but  they  did  them  not. 

9 And  the  Lokd  said  unto  me,  A 
conspiracy  is  found  among  the  men 
of  Ju-dah,  and  among  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

10  They  are  turned  back  to  the 
iniquities  of  their  forefathers,  which 
refused  to  hear  my  words  ; and  they 
went  after  other  gods  to  serve  them  : 
the  house  of  Is-ra-el  and  the  house 
of  Ju-dah  have  broken  my  covenant 
which  I made  with  their  fathers. 

1 1 H Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I will  bring  evil  upon  them, 
which  they  shall  not  be  able  to 
escape ; and  -^though  they  shall  cry 
unto  me,  I will  not  hearken  unto 

^ll^Then  shall  the  cities  of  Ju-dah 
and  inhabitants  of  J e-ru-sa-l6m  go, 
and  ^cry  unto  the  gods  unto  whom 
they  offer  incense ; but  they  shall 
not  save  them  at  all  in  the  tune  of 
their  Hrouble.  , r. 

13  For  according  to  the  immber  of 
thy  ^cities  were  thy  gods,  O J R-dah ; 
and  according  to  the  number  of  the 
streets  of  J Aru-sa-lem  have  ye  set  up 
altars  to  ® shameful  thing, 
altars  to  burn  incense  unto  Ba-aL 

14  Therefore  *pray  not  thou  tor 
this  people,  neither  lift  up  a cry  or 
prayer  for  them ; for  I will  not  hear 
them  in  the  time  that  they  cry  unto 
me  for  their  Hrouble.

do  in  mine  house,  seeing  she  hath

16  The  Lord  called  thy  name,  * A 
green  olive  tree,  fair,  and  pi  goodly 
fruit : with  the  noise  of  a great 
tumult  he  hath  kindled  fire  upon  it, 
and  the  branches  of  it  are  broken. 

17  For  the  Lord  of  hosts,  “that 
planted  thee,  hath  pronounced  ev^il 
against  thee,  for  the  evil  of  the 
house  of  IsHa-6l  and  of  the  house 
of  Ju-dah,  which  they  have  done  a-

18  H And  the  Lord  hath  given  me 
knowledge  of  it,  and  I know  it : then 
thou  shewedst  me  their  doings.

my  portion  under  foot,  they  have 
made  my  ^pleasant  portion  a deso- 
late wilderness. 

11  They  have  made  it  desolate, 
and  being  desolate  ®it  mourneth 
unto  me ; the  whole  land  is  made 
desolate,  because  •''no  man  layeth 
it  to  heart. 

1 2 The  spoilers  are  come  upon  all 
high  places  through  the  wilderness: 
for  the  sword  of  the  Loed  shall  de- 
vour from  the  one  end  of  the  land 
even  to  the  other  end  of  the  land : 
no  flesh  shall  have  peace. 

13  '‘They  have  sown  wheat,  but 
shall  reap  thorns:  they  have  put 
themselves  to  pain,  but  shall  not 
profit : and  ^they  shall  be  ashamed 
of  your  revenues  because  of  the 
fierce  anger  of  the  Lord. 

14  ^ Thus  saith  the  Lord  against 
ah  mine  evil  neighbours,  that  * touch 
the  inheritance  which  I have  caused 

people  Is-ra-el  to  inherit;  Be- 
hold, I will  'pluck  them  out  of  their 
land,  and  pluck  out  the  house  of 
Ju-dah  from  among  them. 

15  ’‘And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  after 
that  I have  plucked  them  out  I 
will  return,  and  have  compassion 
on  them,  ^and  will  bring  them 
again,  every  man  to  his  heritage, 
and  every  man  to  his  land. 

16  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if 
they  will  diligently  learn  the  ways 
of  my  people,  ^to  swear  by  my 
name.  The  Lord  liveth;  as  they 
taught  my  people  to  swear  by  Ba- 
al; then  shall  they  be  ’"built  in  the 
midst  of  my  people. 

17  But  if  they  will  not  ‘’obey,  I 
will  utterly  pluck  up  amd  destroy 
that  nation,  saith  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  13. 

1 In  the  type  of  a linen  girdle,  hidden  at  Euphrates,  God 
prefigureth  the  destruction  of  his  people.  12  Under  the 
paralile  of  the  bottles  filled  tvith  wine  he  foretelleth  their 
^nkenness  in  misery.  15  He  exhorteth  to  prevent  their 
future  judgments.  22  He  sheweth  their  abominations  are 
the  cause  thereof. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord  unto  me, 
Go  and  get  thee  a linen  girdle, 
and  put  it  upon  thy  loins,  and  put 
it  not  in  water. 

2  So  I got  a girdle  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  put  it 
on  my  loins. 

3  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
second  time,  saying,

got,  which  18  upon  thy  loins,  and  I

arise,  go  to  Eu-phra^tes,  and  hide  it’ 
there  in  a hole  of  the  rock. 

5 So  I went,  and  hid  it  by  Eu- 
phra-tes,  as  the  Lord  commanded 
me. 

6 And  it  came  to  pass  after  many 
days,  that  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
Arise,  go  to  Eu-phra-tes,  and  take 
the  girdle  from  thence,  which  I 
coi^anded  thee  to  hide  there. 

7 Thp  I went  to  Eu-phra-tes,  and 
digged,  and  took  the  girdle ’from 
the  place  where  I had  hid  it : and, 
behold,  the  girdle  was  marred,  it 
was  profitable  for  nothing. 

8 Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

9 Thus  saith  the  Lord,  After  this 

I mar  the  pride  of 
Ju-dah,  and  the  great  pride  of  JA 
ru-sa-lem. 

10  This  evil  people,  which  refuse 
to  hear  my  words,  which  ’walk  in 
the  ^imagination  of  their  heart,  and 
walk  after  other  gods,  to  serve 
them,  and  to  worship  them,  shall 
even  be  as  this  girdle,  which  is 
good  for  nothing. 

11  For  as  the  girdle  cleaveth  to  the 
loins  of  a man,  so  have  I caused  to 
cleave  unto  me  the  whole  house  of 
Is-ra-el  and  the  whole  house  of  Ju- 
dah, saith  the  Lord;  that  ’“they 
night  be  unto  me  for  a people,  and 
for  a name,  and  for  a praise,  and  for 

a glory : but  they  would  not  hear. 

12  U Therefore  thou  shalt  speak 
unto  them  this  word ; Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Is-ra-el,  Every  bottle 
shall  be  filled  with  wine : and  they 
shall  say  unto  thee.  Do  we  not  cer- 
tainly  know  that  every  bottle  shall 
be  filled  with  wine  1 

1 3 Then  shalt  thou  say  unto  them. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I will 
fill  all  the  inhabitants  of  this  land, 
even  the  kings  that  sit  upon  Da- 
vid s throne,  and  the  priests,  and 
the  prophets,  and  all  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Je-ru-sa-lem,  'with  drunk- 
enness. 

14  And  “I  will  dash  them  ®one 
against  another,  even  the  fathers 
and  the  sons  together,  saith  the 
Lord  : I will  not  pity,  nor  spare, 
nor  have  mercy,  ’but  destroy  them. 

15  U Hear  ye,  and  give  ear ; be  not 
proud  : for  the  Lord  hath  spoken. 

16  "’Give  glory  to  the  Lord  your 
God,  before  he  cause  ^'darkness, 
and  before  your  feet  stumble  upon 
the  dark  mountains,  and,  while  ye 
Took  for  light,  he  turn  it  into  “the 
shadow  of  death,  and  make  it  gross 
darkness.

soul  shall  weep  in  secret  places  foV

have  brought  upon  them  ® against 
the  mother  of  the  young  men  a

him  to  fall  upon  it  suddenly,  and 
terrors  upon  the  city. 

9 "She  that  hath  borne  seven  lan-

It  was  yet  day : she  hath  been

thou  hast  borne  me  a man  of  strife 
and  a man  of  contention  to  the

on  usury,  nor  men  have  lent  to  me 
on  usury;  yet  every  one  of  them 
doth  curse  me. 

11  The  Loed  said,  Verily  it  shall 
be  well  with  thy  remnant;  verily  H 
will  cause  ^the  enemy  to  entreat 
thee  well  in  the  time  of  evil  and  in 
the  time  of  affliction.

even  in  all  thy  borders. 

14  And  I will  make  thee  to  pass 
with  thine  enemies  ‘'into  a land 
which  thou  knowest  not : for  a •''fire

17  sat  not  in  the  assembly  ot

alone  because  of  thy  hand : tor  thou 
hast  filled  me  with  indignation. 

18  Why  is  my  ‘’pain  perpetual,  and

CHAPTER  16. 

1 The  prophet,  under  the  types  of  abstaining  from  mar- 
riage, from  houses  of  mourning  and  feasting,  foresheweth 
the  utter  ruin  of  the  Jews.  14  Their  return  from  captiv- 
ity. 16  God  will  doubly  recompense  their  idolatry. 

The  word  of  the  Lord  came  also 
unto  me,  saying, 

2  Thou  shalt  not  take  thee  a wite, 
neither  shalt  thou  have  sons  or 
daughters  in  this  place. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  con- 
cerning the  sons  and  concerning 
the  daughters  that  are  born  in  this 
place,  and  concerning  their  mothers 
that  bare  them,  and  concerning 
their  fathers  that  begat  them  in 
this  land; 

4  They  shall  die  of  * grievous 
deaths;  they  shall  not  be  ‘lament- 
ed ; neither  shall  they  be  buried ; 
hut  they  shall  be  “as  dung  upon  the 
face  of  the  earth:  and  they  shall 
be  consumed  by  the  sword,  and  by 
famine;  and  their  * carcases  shali 
be  meat  for  the  fowls  of  heaven, 
and  for  the  beasts  of  the  earth. 

5  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  * Enter 
not  into  the  house  of  ® mourning, 
neither  go  to  lament  nor  bemoan 
them : for  I have  taken  away  my 

Eeace  from  this  people,  saith  the 
lORD,  even  lovingkindness  and  mer- 
C10S. 

6  Both  the  great  and  the  small 
shall  die  in  this  land:  they  shall 
not  be  buried,  ‘’neither  shall  men 
lament  for  them,  nor  ‘^cut  them- 
selves, nor  make  themselves  bald 
for  them,;

after  other  gods,  and  have  served 
them/ and  have  worshipped  them, 
and  have  forsaken  me,  and  have

your  fathers;  for,  behold,/ ye  walk 
every  one  after  the  ‘^imagination  ot 
his  evil  heart,  that  they  may  not 
hearken  unto  me: 

1 3 Therefore  will  I cast  you  out  ot 
this  land  nnto  a land  that  ye  know 
not,  neither  ye  nor  your  fathers ; 
and  there  shall  ye  serve  other  gods 
day  and  night;  where  I will  not 
shew  you  favour.  , , 

14  i]  Therefore,  behold,  the  ’'days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  it  shall 
no  more  be  said.  The  Lord  hveth, 
that  brought  up  the  children  of  Is- 
ra-el  out  of  the  land  of  E-gypt ; 

15  But,  The  Lord  liveth,  that 
brought  up  the  children  of  Is-ra-el 
from  the  land  of  the  north,  and 
from  all  the  lands  whither  he  had 
driven  them ; and  will  bring  them 
again  into  their  land  that  I gave 
unto  their  fathers.

shall  hunt  them  from  every  moun- 
tain, and  from  every  hill,  and  out 
of  the  holes  of  the  rocks.

their  ways : they  are  not  hid  from

2  Arise,  and  go  down  to  the  pot 
ter’s  house,  and  there  I will  cause 
thee  to  hear  my  words. 

3  Then  I went  down  to  the  pot 
ter’s  house,  and,  behold,  he  wrought 
a work  on  the  ^wheels. 

4  And  the  vessel  ^that  he  made  oi 
clay  was  marred  in  the  hand  ot  the 
potter ; so  he  ^made  it  again  another 
vessel,  as  seemed  good  to  the  potter 
to  make  it.  „ , t 

5  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
to  me,  saying,  ^ ^ -r  , 

6  O house  of  Is-ra-6l,  * cannot  I do 
with  you  as  this  potter  1 saith  the 
Lord.  Behold,  ^as  the  clay  is  in  the 
potter’s  hand,  so  are  ye  in  mine 
hand,  O house  of  Is-ra-6l. 

7  At  what  instant  I shall  speak

11  ^ Now  therefore  go  to,  speak

Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Behold,,  1

tender  the  type  of  breaking  a potter's  vessel  is  foreshewed 
the  desolation  of  the  Jews  for  their  sins. 


Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Go  and  get 
a potter’s  earthen  bottle,  and 
take  of  the  ancients  of  the  people, 
and  of  the  ancients  of  the  priests  ; 

2  And  go  forth  unto  Hhe  valley  of 
the  son  of  Hin-n6m,  which  is  by 
the  entry  of  Hhe  east  gate,  and  pro- 
claim there  the  words  that  I shall 
tell  thee, 

3  ^^d  say,  Hear  ye  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  O kings  of  Ju-dah,  and 
inhabitants  of  JAru-sa-l6m;  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  ls-ra-6l ; Behold,  I will  bring 
evil  upon  this  place,  the  which 
whosoever  heareth,  his  ears  shall 
* tingle. 

4  Because  they  ”»have  forsaken  me, 
and  have  estranged  this  place,  and 
have  burned  incense  in  it  unto  other 
gods,  whom  neither  they  nor  their 
fathers  have  known,  nor  the  kings 
of  Ju-dah,  and  have  filled  this  place 
'%ith  Hhe  blood  of  innocents  ; 

5  ^They  have  built  also  the  high 
places  of  Ba-al,  to  burn  their  sons 
^ifh  fire  for  burnt  offerings  unto 
Ba-al,  ^ which  I commanded  not,  nor 
spake  it,  neither  came  it  into  my 
mind : 

6  Therefore,  behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  this  place  shall 
no  more  be  called  To-phet,  nor  ^The 
valley  of  the  son  of  Hin-nbm,  but 
The  valley  of  slaughter. 

7  And  I will  make  void  the  coun- 
sel of  Ju-dah  and  Je-ru-sa-lem  in 
this  place ; Hnd  I will  cause  them 
to  tall  by  the  sword  before  their 
enemies,  and  by  the  hands  of  them 
that  seek  their  lives : and  their 
“carcases  will  I give  to  be  meat 
tor  the  fowls  of  the  heaven,  and 
tor  the  beasts  of  the  earth. 

8  And  I will  make  this  city  *deso- 
late,  and  an  hissing  ; every  one  that 
P^ssHh  thereby  shall  be  astonished 
and  hiss  because  of  all  the  plagues 
thereof. 

9  And  I will  cause  them  to  eat  the 
^fiesh  ot  their  sons  and  the  flesh  of 
their  daughters,  and  they  shall  eat

said  to  all  the  people, 

15  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is-ra-el ; Behold,  I will 
bring  upon  this  city  and  upon  all

CHAPTER  20. 


1 Pashur,  smiting  Jeremiah,  receiveth  a new  name,  and 
a fearful  damn.  7 Jeremiah  complaineth  of  contempt, 
10  of  treachery,  14  and  of  his  birth. 


1\TOW  Pash-tir  the  son  of  ”Im-mer 
Ll  the  priest,  who  was  also  chief 
governor  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
heard  that  J6r-6-mi-ah  prophesied 
these  things. 

2 Then  Pash-iir  smote  Jer-6-mi-ah 
the  prophet,  and  put  him  in  the 
stocks  that  were  in  the  high  gate 
of  Ben-ja-min,  which  was  by  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

3 And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  mor- 
row, that  Pash-iir  brought  forth  Jer- 
e-mi-ah  out  of  the  stocks.  Then 
said  J 6r-e-mi-ah  unto  him.  The  Lord 
hath  not  called  thy  name  Pash-iir, 
but  ^Ma%6r-mis-sa-bib. 

4 For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold, 
I will  make  thee  a terror  to  thyself, 
and  to  all  thy  friends : and  they  shall 
fall  by  the  sword  of  their  enemies, 
and  thine  eyes  shall  behold  it : and 
I will  give  all  J u-dah  into  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  Bab-y-lOn,  and  he  shall 
carry  them  captive  into  Bab-y-l5n, 
and  shall  slay  them  with  the  sword.

6 And  thou,  Pash-iir,  and  all  that 
dwell  in  thine  house  shall  go  into 
captivity:  and  thou  shalt  come  to 
Bab-y-l5n,  and  there  thou  shalt  die, 
and  shalt  be  buried  there,  thou,  and 
all  thy  friends,  to  whom  thou  hast 
‘^propnesied  lies. 

7 11  O Loed,  thou  hast  deceived 
me,  and  I was  Meceived  : ®thou  art 
stronger  than  I,  and  hast  prevailed : 

'"I  am  in  derision  daily,  every  one 
mocketh  me. 

8 For  since  I spake,  I cried  out, 
cried  violence  and  spoil ; because 
the  word  of  the  Loed  was  made  a 
reproach  unto  me,  and  a derision, 
daily. 

9 Then  I said,  I will  not  make 
mention  of  him,  nor  speak  any  more 
in  his  name.  But  his  word  was  in 
mine  heart  as  a * burning  fire  shut  up 
in  my  bones,  and  I was  weary  with 
forbearing,  and  could  not  stay. 

10  II  ”For  I heard  the  defaming  of 
many,  fear  on  every  side.  Report, 
say  they,^  and  we  will  report  it.  "All*'^ 
my  familiars  watched  for  my  halt- 
ing, saying,  Peradventure  he  will 
be  enticed,  and  we  shall  prevail 
against  him,  and  we  shall  take  our 
revenge  on  him. 

11  But  «the  Loed  is  with  me  as  a 
mighty  terrible  one : therefore  my 
persecutors  shall  stumble,  and  they 
shall  not  * prevail : they  shall  be 
greatly  ashamed;  for  they  shall 
not  prosper  : their  * everlasting  con- 
fusion shall  never  be  forgotten. 

1 2 But,  O Loed  of  hosts,  that  ’Triest 
the  righteous,  and  seest  the  reins 
and  the  heart,  ^let  me  see  thy  ven- 

feance  on  them : tor  unto  thee  have 
opened  my  cause. 

13  Sing  unto  the  Loed,  praise  ye 
the  Loed:  for  ^he  hath  delivered 
the  soul  of  the  poor  from  the  hand 
of  evildoers. 

14  51  “Cursed  he  the  day  wherein  I 
was  born : let  not  the  day  wherein 
my  mother  bare  me  be  blessed. 

15  Cursed  be  the  man  who  brought 
tidings  to  my  father,  saying,  A man 
child  is  born  unto  thee;  making 
him  very  glad. 

16  And  let  that  man  be  as  the 
cities  which  the  Loed  « overthrew, 
and  repented  not : and  let  him-^hear 
the  cry  in  the  morning,  and  the

1 ZedeTdah  sendeth  to  Jeremiah  to  enquire  of  Nebuchadrez-

8 He  counselleth  the  people  to  fall  to  the  Chaldeans,  11 
and  upbraideth  the  king's  house. 

The  word  which  came  unto  J6r- 
6-mI-ah  from  the  Loed,  when 
king  Z6d-e-ki-ah  sent  unto  him 
•^Pash-ur  the  son  of  M6l-chi-ah, 
and  s’Zgph-a-ni-ah  the  son  of  Ma-a- 
se-iah  the  priest,  saying, 

2 * Enquire,  I pray  thee,  of  the 
Loed  for  us*  for  Neb-u-chad-rez- 
zar  king  of  Bab-y-l5n  maketh  war 
against  us ; if  so  be  that  the  Loed 
will  deal  with  us  according  to  all 
his  wondrous  works,  that  he  may 
go  up  from  us. 

3 U Then  said  J6r-e-mi-ah  unto 
them.  Thus  shall  ye  say  to  Zed-e- 
ki-ah : ^ i ^ 

4 Thus  saith  the  Loed  God  of 
Is-ra-el;  Behold,  I will  turn  back 
the  weapons  of  war  that  are  in 
your  hands,  wherewith  ye  fight 
against  the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n,  and 
against  the  -Chal-de-ans,  which  be- 
siege you  without  the  walls,  and 
will  assemble  them  into  the  midst 
of  this  city. 

5 And  I myself  will  fight  against 
you  with  an  ^outstretched  hand  and 
with  a strong  arm,  even  in  anger, 
and  in  fury,  and  in  great  wrath. 

6 And  I will  smite  the  inhabitants 
of  this  city,  both  man  and  beast : 
they  shall  die  of  a great  pestilence, 
7 And  afterward,  saith  the  Loed, 
*1  will  deliver  Z6d-6-ki-ah  king  of 
Ju-dah,  and  his  servants,  and  the 
people,  and  such  as  are  left  in  this 
city  from  the  pestilence,  from  the 
sword,  and  from  the  famine,  into 
the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-r6z-zar  king 
of  Bab-y-l5n,  and  into  the  hand  of 
their  enemies,  and  into  the  hand  of 
those  that  seek  their  life : and  he 
shall  smite  them  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword ; ^he  shall  not  spare  them, 
neither  have  pity,  nor  have  mercy. 
8 51  And  unto  this  people  thou 
shalt  say.  Thus  saith  the  Loed; 
Behold,  H set  before  you  the  way 
of  life,  and  the  way  of  death.

saith  the  Lord;  ®it  shall  be  given

CHAPTER  22. 

1 An  exhortation  to  repentance.  10  The  judgment  of 
Shallum,  13  of  Jehoiakim,  20  and  of  Coniah. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; Go  down 
to  the  house  of  the  king  of  Ju- 
dah. and  speak  there  this  word, 

2 And  say,  "'Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  O king  of  J u-dah,  that  sittest 
upon  the  throne  of  Da-vid,  thou, 
and  thy  servants,  and  thy  people 
that  enter  in  by  these  gates : 

3 Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; “Execute 
ye  judgment  and  righteousness,  and 
deliver  the  spoiled  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  oppressor : and  *do  no  wrong, 
do  no  violence  to  the  stranger,  the 
fatherless,  nor  the  widow,  neither 
shed  innocent  blood  in  this  place. 
4 For  if  ye  do  this  thing  indeed, 
‘^then  shall  there  enter  in  by  the 
gates  of  this  house  kings  sitting 
’upon  the  throne  of  Da-vid,  riding 
in  chariots  and  on  horses,  he,  and 
his  servants,  and  his  people. 

5  But  if  ye  will  not  hear  these 
words,  swear  by  myself,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  this  house  shall  be- 
come a desolation. 

6  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto 
the  king’s  house  of  Ju-dah;  Thou 
art  Gil-e-ad  unto  me,  and  the  head 
of  Leb-a-n5n : yet  surely  I will  make 
thee  a wilderness,  and  cities  which 
are  not  inhabited. 

7  And  I will  prepare  destroyers 
against  thee,  every  one  with  his 
weapons : and  they  shall  cut  down

8^  And  many  nations  shall  pass  by 
this  city,  and  they  shall  say  every 
man  to  his  neighbour,  -^Wherefore 
hath  the  Lord  done  thus  unto  this 
great  city 

9 Then  they  shall  answer,  ^Because 
they  have  forsaken  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord  their  God,  and  worshipped 
other  gods,  and  served  them. 

10  U Weep  ye  not  for  ^the  dead, 
neither  bemoan  him  : hut  weep  sore 
for  him  that  goeth  away : for  he 
shall  return  no  more,  nor  see  his 
native  country. 

11  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  touch- 
ing ’’Shal-liim  the  son  of  Jo-si-ah 
king  of  Ju-dah,  which  reigned  in- 
stead of  J o-si-ah  his  father,  ^ which 
went  forth  out  of  this  place ; He 
shall  not  return  thither  any  more  : 

12  But  he  shall  die  in  the  place 
whither  they  have  led  him  captive, 
and  shall  see  this  land  no  more. 

13  11/ Woe  unto  him  that  build- 
eth  his  house  by  unrighteousness, 
and  his  chambers  by  wrong;  Hhat 
useth  his  neighbour’s  service  with- 
out wages,  and  giveth  him  not  for 
his  work ; 

14  That  saith,  I will  build  me  a 
wide  house  and  ^ large  chambers, 
and  cutteth  him  out® windows;  and 
it  is  cieled  with  cedar,  and  painted 
with  vermilion. 

1 5 Shalt  thou  reign,  because  thou 
closest  thyself  in  cedar?  ^^did  not 
thy  father  eat  and  drink,  and  do 
judgment  and  justice,  and  then  ^it 
was  well  with  him  ? 

16  He  judged  the  cause  of  the 
poor  and  needy ; then  it  was  well 
with  him:  was  not  this  to  know 
me?  saith  the  Lord. 

17  ®But  thine  eyes  and  thine  heart 
are  not  but  for  thy  covetousness, 
and  for  to  shed  innocent  blood,  and 
for  oppression,  and  for  ® violence,  to 
do  it. 

18  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
concerning  J e-hoi-a-kim  the  son 
of  Jo-si-ah  king  of  Ju-dah;  ®They 
shall  not  lament  for  him,  saying, 
AA.h  my  brother  ! or,  Ah  ^ sister  ! 
they  shall  not  lament  for  him,  say- 
ing, Ah  lord  ! or.  Ah  his  glory  ! 

19 /He  shall  be  buried  with  the 
burial  of  an  ass,  drawn  and  cast 
forth  beyond  the  gates  of  Je-ru- 
sa-lem. 

20  H Go  up  to  L6b-a-nbn,  and  cry;

into  the  hand  of  them  whose  face 
thou  fearest,  even  into  the  hand  of 
Neb-u-ehad-rez-zar  king  of  Bab-y

not  born ; and  there  shall  ye  die,

^desire  to  return,  thither  shall  they 
not  return.

and  they  shall  fear  no  more,  nor

5 U Behold,  ‘’the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  I will  raise  unto  Da- 
vid a righteous  Branch,  and  a King 
shall  reign  and  prosper,  ‘*and  shall 
execute  judgment  and  justice  in  the

by he  shall  be  called,  ‘“^THE  LORD 
OUR  RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

7 Therefore,  behold,  'the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  they 
shall  no  more  say.  The  Lord  liveth, 
which  brought  up  the  children  of 
IsY4-el  out  of  the  land  of  E-gj 

8 But,  The  Lord  liveth,  v/1 
brought  up  and  which  led  the  seed 
of  the  house  of  IsYa-el  out  of  the 
north  country,  “‘^and  from  all  coun- 
tries whither  I had  driven  them; 
and  they  shall  dwell  in  their  own 
land. 

9 U Mine  heart  within  me  is  broken 

because  of  the  prophets ; all  my 
bones  shake ; I am  like  a drunken 
man,  and  like  a man  whom  wine 
hath  overcome,  because  of  the  Lord, 
and  because  of  the  words  of  his 
holiness.  „ , , 

10  For  ^the  land  is  full  of  adul- 
terers; for  « because  of  ^swearing 
the  land  mourneth ; ^ the  pleasant 
places  of  the  wilderness  are  dried 
up,  and  their  ® course  is  evil,  and 
their  force  is  not  right. 

11  For  'both  prophet  and  priest

I found  their  wickedness,  saith  the 
Lord. 

12  ^Wherefore  their  way  shall  be

phets of  Je-ru-sa-lem  is  ^ profane- 
ness gone  forth  into  all  the  land. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
Hearken  not  unto  the  words  of  the 
prophets  that  prophesy  unto  you : 
they  make  you  vain ; “they  speak  a 
vision  of  their  own  heart,  and  not 
out  of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 

17  They  say  still  unto  them  that 
despise  me,  The  Lord  hath  said, 
^Ye  shall  have  peace ; and  they  say 
unto  every  one  that  walketh  after 
the  ^imagination  of  his  own  heart, 
‘^No  evil  shall  come  upon  you. 

18  For  ®who  hath  stood  in  the 
'‘c9unsel  of  the  Lord,  and  hath  per- 
ceived and  heard  his  word*?  who 
hath  marked  his  word,  and  heard 
it  ? 

19  Behold,  a ^whirlwind  of  the 
Lord  is  gone  forth  in  fury,  even 
a grievous  whirlwind : it  shall  fall 
grievously  upon  the  head  of  the 
mcked. 

20  The  *anger  of  the  Lord  shall  not 
return,  until  he  have  executed,  and 
till  he  have  performed  the  thoughts 
of  his  heart : ^ in  the  latter  days  ye 
shall  consider  it  perfectly. 

21  H have  not  sent  these  prophets, 
yet  they  ran  : I have  not  spoken  to 
them,  yet  they  prophesied. 

22  But  if  they  had  stood  in  my 
counsel,  and  had  caused  my  people 
to  hear  my  words,  then  they  should 
have  ” turned  them  from  their  evil 
way,  and  from  the  evil  of  their 
doings. 

23  Ami  a God  at  hand,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  not  a God  afar  offl 

24  Can  any  "hide  himself  in  secret 
places  tha-t  I shall  not  see  himl  saith 
the  Lord.  ^Do  not  I fill  heaven  and 
earth  1 saith  the  Lord. 

25  I have  heard  what  the  proph- 
ets said,  that  prophesy  lies  in  my 
name,  saying,  I have  dreamed,  I 
have  dreamed. 

26  How  long  shall  this  be  in  the 
heart  of  the  prophets  that  prophesy 
lies  1 yea,  they  are  prophets  of  the 
deceit  of  their  own  heart ; 

27  Which  think  to  cause  my  peo- 
ple to  forget  my  name  by  their 
dreams  which  they  tell  every  man 
to  his  neighbour,  ^as  their  fathers 
have  forgotten  my  name  for  Ba-al. 

28  The  prophet  ®that  hath  a dream, 
let  him  tell  a dream ; and  he  that 
hath  my  word,  let  mm  speak  my 
word  faithfully.  What  is  the  chan 
to  the  wheat '?  saith  the  Lord.

the  prophets,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
steal  my  words  every  one  from  his 
neighbour. 

31  Behold,  I am  against  the  pro- 
phets, saith  the  Lord,  ‘-^that  use  their 
tongues,  and  say.  He  saith. 

32  Behold,  I am  against  them  that 

Erophesy  false  dreams,  saith  the 
lORD,  and  do  tell  them,  and  cause 
my  people  to  err  by  their  lies,  and 
by  Hheir  lightness ; yet  I sent  them 
not,  nor  commanded  them  : there- 
fore they  shall  not  profit  this  people 
at  all,  saith  the  Lord. 

33  U And  when  this  people,  or  the 
prophet,  or  a priest,  shall  ask  thee, 
saying.  What  is  •''the  burden  of  the 
LordI  thou  shalt  then  say  unto 
them.  What  burden?  will  even 
forsake  you,  saith  the  Lord. 

34  And  as  for  the  prophet,  and  the 
priest,  and  the  people,  tnat  shall  say. 
The  burden  of  the  Lord,  I will  even 
® punish  that  man  and  his  house. 

35  Thus  shall  ye  say  every  one  to 
his  neighbour,  and  every  one  to  his 
brother,  What  hath  the  Lord  an- 
swered? and.  What  hath  the  Lord 
spoken  ? 

36  And  the  burden  of  the  Lord 
shall  ye  mention  no  more : for  every 
man’s  word  shall  be  his  burden ; for 
ye  have  perverted  the  words  of  the 
living  God,  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  our 
God. 

37  Thus  shalt  thou  say  to  the  pro- 
phet, Wbat  hath  the  Lord  answered 
thee?  and.  What  hath  the  Lord 
spoken  ? 

38  But  since  ye  say.  The  burden 
of  the  Lord  ; therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  ; Because  ye  say  this  word. 
The  burden  of  the  Lord,  and  I have 
sent  unto  you,  saying.  Ye  shall  not 
say.  The  burden  of  the  Lord  ; 

39  Therefore,  behold,  I,  even  I, 
®will  utterly  forget  you,  and  ’'I  will 
forsake  you,  and  the  city  that  I 
gave  you  and  your  fathers,  and  cast 
you  out  of  my  presence : . 

40  And  I will  bring  *an  everlasting 
reproach  upon  you,  and  a perpetual 
shame,  which  shall  not  be  forgotten. 

CHAPTER  24. 

1 Under  the  type  of  good  and  bad  figs,  4 he  foresheweth 
the  restoration  of  them  that  were  in  captivity,  8 and 
the  desolation  of  Zedekiah  and  the  rest. 

The  “Lord  shewed  me,  and,  be- 
hold, two  baskets  of  figs  were 
set  before  the  temple  of  the  Lord, 
after  that  Ngb-u-ehad-rez-zar  *king 
of  Bab-y-l5n  had  carried  away  cap- 
tive ^'Jg-e-o-nl-ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi-a- 
kim  king  of  Ju-dah,  and  the  princes 
of  Ju'dan,  with  the  carpenters  and 
smiths,  from  JAru-sa-lem,  and  ha^d 
brought  them  to  Bab-y-l6n. 


Restoration  'promised. 


JEREMIAH,  25. 


Seventy  years'  captivity. 


2 One  basket  had  very  good  figs, 
even  like  the  figS  that  are  first 
ripe : and  the  other  basket  had  very 
naughty  figs,  which  could  not  be 
eaten,  Hhey  were  so  bad. 

3 Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me. 
What  seest  thou,  J 6r-6-mi-ah  1 And 
I said.  Figs;  the  good  figs,  very 
good ; and  the  evil,  very  evil,  that 
cannot  be  eaten,  they  are  so  evil. 

4 II  Again  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

5 Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Is-ra-6l;  Like  these  good  figs, 
so  will  I acknowledge  ^ them  that 
are  carried  away  captive  of  J u-dah, 
whom  I have  sent  out  of  this  place 
into  the  land  of  the  -Ghal-de-ans  for 
their  good. 

6 For  I will  set  mine  eyes  upon 
them  for  good,  and  will  bring 
them  again  to  this  land : and  will 
build  them,  and  not  pull  them  down; 
and  I will  plant  them,  and  not 
pluck  them  up. 

7 And  I will  give  them  ^ an  heart 
to  know  me,  that  I am  the  Lord  : 
and  they  shall  be  '‘my  people,  and 
I will  be  their  God  : for  they  shall 
return  unto  me  *with  their  whole 
heart. 

8 H And  as  the  evil  *figs,  which 
cannot  be  eaten,  they  are  so  evil ; 
surely  thus  saith  the  Lord,  So  will 
I give  Zed-6-ki-ah  the  king  of  Ju- 
dah, and  his  princes,  and  the  .resi- 
due of  JAru-sa-lem,  that  remain  in 
this  land,  and  ”them  that  dwell  in 
the  land  of  E-gypt : 

9 And  I will  deliver  them  ®to  ®be 
removed  into  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  earth  for  their  hurt,  be  a 
reproach  and  a proverb,  a taunt 
^and  a curse,  in  all  places  whither 
I shall  drive  them, 

10  And  I will  send  the  sword,  the 
famine,  and  the  pestilence,  among 
them,  till  they  be  consumed  from  off 
the  land  that  I gave  unto  them  and 
to  their  fathers.

Jo-sl-ah  the  son  of  A-m5n  king  of 
Ju-dah,  even  unto  this  day,  that  is 
the  three  and  twentieth  year,  the 
word  of  the  Lord  hath  come  unto 
me,  and  I have  spoken  unto  you, 
rising  early  and  speaking  ; “but  ye 
have  not  hearkened. 

4 And  the  Lord  hath  sent  unto 
jrou  all  his  servants  the  prophets, 
'rising  early  and  sending  them; 
but  ye  have  not  hearkened,  nor 
inclined  your  ear  to  hear. 

5 They  said,  ®Turn  ye  again  now 
every  one  from  his  evil  way,  and 
from  the  evil  of  your  doings,  and 
dwell  in  the  land  that  the  Lord 
hath  given  unto  you  and  to  your 
fathers  for  ever  and  ever : 

6 And  go  not  after  other  gods  to 
serve  them,  and  to  worship  them, 
and  provoke  me  not  to  anger  with 
the  works  of  your  hands ; and  I will 
do  you  no  hurt. 

7 Yet  ye  have  not  hearkened  unto 
me,  saith  the  Lord  ; that  ye  might 
^provoke  me  to  anger  with  the 
works  of  your  hands  to  your  own 
hurt. 

8 H Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts  ; Because  ye  have  not  heard 
my  words, 

9 Behold,  I will  send  and  take  'all 
the  families  of  the  north,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  Neb-u-ehM-rSz-zar  the 
king  of  Bab-y-l5n,  ”‘my  servant,  and 
will  bring  them  against  this  land, 
and  against  the  inhabitants  there- 
of, and  against  all  these  nations 
round  about,  and  will  utterly  de- 
stroy them,  and  ^make  them  an 
astonishment,  and  an  hissing,  and 
perpetual  desolations. 

10  Moreover  ^ I will  take  from  them 
the  * voice  of  mirth,  and  the  voice 
of  gladness,  the  voice  of  the  bride- 
groom, and  the  voice  of  the  bride, 
Hhe  sound  of  the  millstones,  and 
the  light  of  the  candle. 

1 1 And  this  whole  land  shall  be  a 
desolation,  and  an  astonishment; 
and  these  nations  shall  serve  the 
king  of  Bab-y-l5n  seventy  years. 

12  ^ And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
“when  * seventy  years  are  accom- 
plished, that  I will  ^punish  the 
king  of  Bab-y-l6n,  and  tliat  nation, 
saith  the  Lord,  for  their  iniquity, 
and  the  land  of  the  -Ghal-de-ans, 
^'and  will  make  it  perpetual  deso- 
lations. 

1 3 And  I will  bring  upon  that  land 
all  my  words  which  I have  pro- 
nounced against  it,  even  all  that  is 
written  in  this  book,  which  j6r-6- 
ml-ah  hath  prophesied  against  ah 
the  nations. 

14  “For  many  nations  ^and  great 


The  overthrow  of

kings  shall  “serve  themselves  of 
them  also  : *and'  I-  will  recompense 
them  according  to  their  deeds,  and 
according  to  the  works  of  their  own 
hands. 

15  H For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Is-ra-el  unto  me ; Take  the  ‘^wine 
cup  of  this  fury  at  my  hand,  and 
cause  all  the  nations,  to  whom  I 
send  thee,  to  drink  it. 

16  And  ^they  shall  drink,  and  be 
moved,  and  be  mad,  because  of 
the  sword  that  I will  send  among 
them. 

17  Then  took  I the  cup  at  the 
Lord’s  hand,  and  made  all  the  na- 
tions to  drink,  unto  whom  the  Lord 
had  sent  me : 

18  :7’o  wit,  JAru-sa-l6m,  and  the 
cities  of  Ju-dah,  and  the  kings 
thereof,  and  the  princes  thereof, 
to  make  them  ”"a  desolation,  an 
astonishment^  an  hissing,  and  ^a 
curse;  as  it  ts  this  day; 

19  Pha-raoh  king  of  E-gypt,  and 
his  servants,  and  his  princes,  and 
all  his  people ; 


20  And  all  the  mingled  people, 
' id  of 


and  all  the  kings  of  ^the  Ian 
tTz,  and  all  the  kings  of  the  land 
of  the  Phi-lis-tines,  and  Ash-ke-l5n, 
and  Az-zah,  and  Ek-r5n,  and  *the 
remnant  of  Ash-dcd, 

21  “E-d(3m,  and  Mo-ab,  and  the 
children  of  Am-mCn, 

22  And  all  the  kings  of  *Ty-rus, 
and  all  the  kings  of  Zi-dCn,  and 
the  kings  of  the  ^ isles  which  are 
beyond  the  ^sea, 

23  ^De-dan,  and  Te-ma,  and  Biiz, 
and  all  ^that  are  in  the  utmost 


corners, 

24  And  all  the  kings  of  A-ra-bi-a, 
and  all  the  kings  of  the  “mingled 
people  that  dwell  in  the  desert, 

25  And  all  the  kings  of  Zim-ri,  and 
all  the  kings  of  Edam,  and  all  the 
kings  of  the  Medes, 

26  And  all  the  kings  of  the  north, 
far  and  near,  one  with  another,  and 
all  the  kingdoms  of  the  world,  which 
are  upon  the  face  of  the  earth ; and 
the  king  of  She-shaeh  shall  drink 
after  them. 

27  Therefore  thou  shalt  say  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is-ra-el ; "'Drink  ye,  and 
"^be  drunken,  and  spue,  and  fall,  and 
rise  no  more,  because  of  the  sword 
which  I will  send  among  you. 

28  And  it  shall  be,  if^  they  refuse 
to  take  the  cup  at  thine  hand  to 
drink,  then  shalt  thou  say  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 
Ye  shall  certainly  drink.

unpunished  1 Ye  shall  not  be  un- 
punished : for  I.  will  call  for  a 
sword  upon  all  the  inhabitants  of 
the  earth,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

30  Therefore  prophesy  thou  a- 
gainst  them  all  these  words,  and 
say  unto  them.  The  Lord  shall  *rqar 
from  on  high,  and  utter  his  voice 
from  ^his  holy  habitation ; he  shall 
mightily  roar  upon  ^his  habitation  ; 
he  shall  give  ^a  shout,  as  they  that 
tread  the  grapes,  against  all  the  in- 
habitants of  the  earth. 

31  A noise  shall  come  even  to  the 
ends  of  the  earth ; for  the  Lord 
hath  *a  controversy  with  the  na- 
tions, * he  will  plead  with  all  flesh  • 
he  will  give  them  that  are  wicked 
to  the  sword,  saith  the  Lord. 

32  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 
Behold,  evil  shall  go  forth  from 
nation  to  nation,  and  "a  great  whirl- 
wind shall  be  raised  up  from  the 
coasts  of  the  earth. 

33  ^And  the  slain  of  the  Lord 
shall  be  at  that  day  from  one  end 
of  the  earth  even  unto  the  other 
end  of  the  earth : they  shall  not 
be  lamented,  ^neither  gathered,  nor 
buried ; they  shall  be  dung  upon 
the  ground. 

34  ^ *Howl,  ye  shepherds,  and 
cry ; and  wallow  yourselves  in  the 
ashes,  ye  principal  of  the  flock  : for 
Hhe  days  of  your  slaughter  and  of 
your  dispersions  are  accomplished ; 
and  ye  shall  fall  like  ^a  pleasant 
vessel. 

35  And  ‘^the  shepherds  shall  have 
no  way  to  flee,  nor  the  principal  of 
the  flock  to  escape. 

36  A voice  of  the  cry  of  the  shep- 
herds, and  an  howling  of  the  prin- 
cipal of  the  flock,  shall  he  heard:  for 
the  Lord  hath  spoiled  their  pasture. 

37  And  the  peaceable  habitations 
are  cut  down  because  of  the  fierce 
anger  of  the  Lord. 

38  He  hath  forsaken  ^his  covert, 
as  the  lion : for  their  land  is  ® deso- 
late because  of  the  fierceness  of  the 
oppressor,  and  because  of  his  fierce 
anger. 

CHAPTER  26. 


1 Jeremiah  exhorteth  to  repentance.  8 He  is  apprehended, 
10  and  arraigned.  12  His  apology.  16  He  is  quit  in  Judg- 
ment, by  the  example  of  Micah,  20  and  of  Vrijah. 


IN  the  beginning  of  the  reign  of 
JAhoi^^a-kim  the  son  of  Jo-si-ah 
king  of  Ju-dah  came  this  word  from 
the  Lord,  saying, 

2 Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; Stand  in 
®the  court  of  the  Lord’s  house,  and 
speak  unto  all  the  cities  of  J u-dah, 
which  come  to  worship  in  the  Lord’s 
house,  *all  the  words  that  I com-

mand  thee  to  speak  unto  them; 
“diminish  not  a word: 

; 3 Hf  so  be  they  will  hearken,  and 

i turn  every  man  from  his  evil  way, 

; that  I may  ^repent  me  of  the  evil, 

1 which  I purpose  to  do  unto  them 
j because  of  the  evil  of  their  doings. 

* 4 And  thou  shalt  say  unto  them, 

^ Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; If  ye  will  not 
i hearken  to  me,  to  walk  in  my  law, 
j which  I have  set  before  you, 

! 5 To  hearken  to  the  words  of  my 

i servants  the  prophets,  -^whom  I 
^ sent  unto  you,  both  rising  up  early, 

; and  sending  them,  but  ye  have  not 
hearkened ; 

I 6 Then  will  I make  this  house  like 
; '^Shldoh,  and  will  make  this  city  *a 
I curse  to  all  the  nations  of  the  earth. 

! 7 So  the  priests  and  the  prophets 

and  all  the  people  heard  Jer-e-mi-ah 
speaking  these  words  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

8 ^ Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jer-6-mi-ah  had  made  an  end  of 
speaking  all  that  the  Lord  had 
commanded  him  to  speak  unto  all 
the  people,  that  the  priests  and  the 
prophets  and  all  the  people  took 
i him,  saying.  Thou  shalt  surely  die.

the  inhabitants  thereof : for  of  a 
truth  the  Lord  hath  sent  me  unto 
you  to  speak  all  these  words  in 
your  ears. 

16  51  Then  said  the  princes  and 
all  the  people  unto  the  priests  and 
to  the  prophets ; This  man  is  not 
worthy  to  die:  for  he  hath  spoken 
to  us  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  our 
God. 

17  ®Then  rose  up  certain  of  the

the  assembly  of  the  people,  saying, 

18  ^Ml-eah  the  Mo-ras-thite  pro- 
phesied in  the  days  of  Hez-e-ki-ah 
king  of  Ju-dah,  and  spake  to  all  the 
people  of  Ju-dah,  saying.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts ; *Zi-6n  shah  be 
plowed  like  a field,  and  JAru-sa- 
lem  shall  become  heaps,  and  the 
mountain  of  the  house  as  the  high 
places  of  a forest. 

19  Did  Hez-g-ki-ah  king  of  Ju-dah 
and  all  Ju-dah  put  him  at  all  to 
death  Mid  he  not  fear  the  Lord, 
and  besought  ^ the  Lord,  and  the 
Lord  repented  him  of  the  evil 
which  he  nad  pronounced  against 
them'?  ’"Thus  might  we  procure 
great  evil  against  our  souls. 

20  And  there  was  also  a man  that 
prophesied  in  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
U-ri-jah  the  son  of  She-ma-iah_  of 
Kir-jath-je-a-rim,  who  prqphesied 
against  this  city  and  against  this 
land  according  to  all  the  words  of 
Jer-e-mi-ah : 

21  And  when  Je-hoi-a-kim  the 
king,  with  all  his  mighty  men,  and 
all  the  princes,  heard  his  words, 
the  king  sought  to_  put  him  to 
death : but  when  U-ri-jah  heard  it, 
he  was  afraid,  and  fled,  and  went 
into  B-g^t; 

22  And  Je-hoi-a-kim  the  king  sent 
men  into  E-gypt,  namely,  El-nadhan 
the  son  of  AefidDor,  and  certain  men 
with  him  into  E-gypt. 

23  And  they  fetched  forth  U-ri-jah 

out  of  E-gypt,  and  brought  him  unto 
Je-hoi-a-kim  the  king;  who  slew 
him  with  the  sword,  and  cast  his 
dead  body  into  the  graves  of  the 
^common  people.  • , 

24  Nevertheless  ^the  hand  of  A-hi- 
kam  the  son  of  Sha-phan  was  with 
Jer-g-mi-ah,  that  they  should  not 
give  him  into  the  hand  of  the  peo- 
ple to  put  him  to  death.

bonds  and  yokes. 


The  type  of 

“king  of  Ju-dah  came  this  word  unto 
Jer-e-inl-ah  from  the  Lord,  saying, 

2 Thus  ^saith  the  Lord  to  me: 
Make  thee  bonds  and  yokes,  *and 
put  them  upon  thy  neck, 

3 And  send  them  to  the  king  of 
E-dom,  and  to  the  king  of  Mo-ab, 
and  to  the  king  of  the  Am-m5n-ites, 
and  to  the  king  of  Ty-rus,  and  to 
the  king  of  Zi-dfon,  by  the  hand  of 
the  messengers  which  come  to  J 6- 
ru-sa-lem  unto  Zed-e-ki-ah  king  of 
Ju-dah ; 

4 And  command  them  ^to  say  unto 
their  masters.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  IshA-el ; Thus 
shall  ye  say  unto  your  masters  ; 

have  made  the  earth,  the  man 
and  the  beast  that  are  upon  the 
ground,  by  my  great  power  and  by 
my  outstretched  arm,  and  ■'"have 
given  it  unto  whom  it  seemed  meet 
unto  me. 

6 ^ And  now  have  I given  alii  these 
lands  into  the  hand  of  Neb-u-ehad- 
nez-zar  the  king  of  Bab-y-lOn,  '"my 
servant ; and  *the  beasts  of  the  field 
have  I given  him  also  to  serve  him. 

7 '^And  all  nations  shall  serve  him, 
and  his  son,  and  his  son’s  son,  * un- 
til the  very  time  of  his  land  come : 
""and  then  many  nations  and  great 
kings  shall  serve  themselves  of  him. 

8 And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
the  nation  and  kingdom  which  will 
not  serve  the  same  N6b-u-ehad-ngz- 
zar  the  king  of  Bab-y-l6n,  and  that 
will  not  put  their  neck  under  the 
yoke  of  the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n,  that 
nation  will  I punish,  saith  the  Lord, 
with  the  sword,  and  with  the  fanv 
ine,  and  with  the  pestilence,  until 
I have  consumed  them  by  his  hand. 

9 Therefore  hearken  not  ye  to  your 
prophets,  nor  to  your  diviners,  nor 
to  your  ^dreamers,  nor  to  your 
enchanters,  nor  to  your  sorcerers, 
which  speak  unto  you,  saying.  Ye 
shall  not  serve  the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n : 

10  ^For  they  prophesy  a lie  unto 
you,  to  remove  you  far  from  your 
land ; and  that  I should  drive  you 
out,  and  ye  should  perish. 

1 1 But  the  nations  that  bring  their 
neck  under  the  yoke  of  the  king  of 
Bab-y-l5n,  and  serve  him,  those  will 
I let  remain  still  in  their  own  land, 
saith  the  Lord  ; and  they  shall  till 
it,  and  dwell  therein. 

12  U I spake  also  to  '^Zed-g-ki-ah 
king  of  Ju-dah  according  to  all 
these  words,  saying.  Bring  y9ur 
necks  under  the  yoke  of  the  king 
of  Bab-y-lOn,  and  serve  him  and

the  Lord  hath  spoken  against  the

of  Bab-y-lOn  % 

14  Therefore  hearken  not  unto  the 
words  of  the  prophets  that  speak 
unto  you,  saying.  Ye  shall  not  serve 
the  king  of  Bab-y-lOn : for  they 
prophesy  ®a  lie  unto  you. 

15  For  I have  not  sent  them,  saith 
the  Lord,  yet  they  prophesy  ‘^a  lie  in 
my  name ; that  I might  drive  you  out, 
and  that  ye  might  perish,  ye,  and  the 
prophets  that  prophesy  unto  you. 

1 6 Also  I spake  to  the  priests  and 
to  all  this  people,  saying.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord;  Hearken  not  to  the 
words  of  your  prophets  that  pro- 
phesy unto  you,  saying.  Behold, 
®the  vessels  of  the  Lord’s  house 
shall  now  shortly  be  brought  again 
from  Bab-y-lOn : for  they  prophesy 
a lie  unto  you. 

17  Hearken  not  unto  them ; serve 
the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n,  and  live : 
wherefore  should  this  city  be  laid 
waste  1 

18  But  if  they  be  prophets,  and  if 
the  word  of  the  Lord  be  with  them, 
let  them  now  make  intercession  to 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  that  the  vessels 
which  are  left  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  in  the  house  of  the  king 
of  Ju-dah,  and  at  Jg-ru-sa-lem,  go 
not  to  Bab-y-l6n. 

19  ^ For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts  "concerning  the  pillars,  and 
concerning  the  sea,  and  concerning 
the  bases,  and  concerning  the  resi- 
due of  the  vessels  that  remain  in 
this  city. 

20  Which  Neb-u-ehad-nez-zar  king 
of  Bab-y-lbn  took  not,  when  he  car- 
ried away  "captive  Jee-o-ni-ah  the 
son  of  Je-hoi-a-kim  king  of  Ju-dah 
from  JAru-sa-lem  to  Bab-y-lgn,  and 
all  the  nobles  of  Ju-dah  and  Je-ru- 
sa-lem ; 

21  Yea,  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  IsYa-el,  concern- 
ing the  vessels  that  remain  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the 
house  of  the  king  of  Ju-dah  and 
of  JAru-sa-lem; 

22  They  shall  be  '^carried  to  Bab- 
y-l6n,  and  there  shall  they  be  until 
the  day  that  I "visit  them,  saith  the 
Lord  ; then  *will  I bring  them  up, 
and  restore  them  to  this  place. 

CHAPTER  28. 

1 Hananiah  prophesieth  falsely  the  return  of  the  vessels.  5 

Jeremiah,  wishing  it  to  be  true,  sheweth  that  the  event  will 

declare  who  are  true  prophets.  10  Ha/naniah  breaketh 

Jeremiah's  yoke.  12  Jeremiah  telleth  of  an  iron  yoke,  15 

a/nd  foretelleth  Bananiah’s  death. 

AND  * it  came  to  iiass  the  same

reign  of  Zed-6-ki-ah  king  of  Ju-dah, 
in  the  fourth  year,  and_  in  the  fifth 
month,  that  Han-a-ni-ah  the  son 
of  A-zur  the  prophet,  which  was 
of  Gib'e-5n,  spake  unto  me  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  in  the  presence 
of  the  priests  and  of  all  the  people, 

^l^hus  speaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
tlie  God  of  Is-ra-6l,  saying,  I have 
broken  ^the  yoke  of  the  king  of 
Bab-y-l5n. 

3 « Within  Hwo  full  years  will  1 
bring  again  into  this  place  all  the 
vessels  of  the  Lord’s  house,  that 
N6b-u-ehad-n6z-zar  king  of  Bab-y- 
l5n  took  away  from  this  place,  and 
carried  them  to  Bab-y-l5n : 

4 And  I will  bring  again  to  this 

place  Joe-o-ni-ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi- 
a-kim  king  of  Ju-dah.  with  all  the 
‘‘^captives  of  Ju-dah,  that  went  into 
Ba&y-l6n,  saith  the  Lord  : for  I 
will  break  the  yoke  of  the  king  of 
Bab-y-l5n.  , , 

5 51  Then  the  prophet  J6r-e-mDah 
said  unto  the  prophet  Han-a-ni-ah 
in  the  presence  of  the  priests,  and 
in  the  presence  of  all  the  people  that 
stood  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

6 Even  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi-ah 
said,  ^ A-m6n':  the  Lord  do  so ; the 
Lord  perform  thy  words  which 
thou  hast  prophesied,  to  bring  a- 
gain  the  vessels  of  the  Lord’s 
house,  and  all  that  is  carried  a- 
way  captive,  from  Bab-y-l6n  into 
this  place. 

7 Nevertheless  hear  thou  now  this 
word  that  I speak  in  thine  ears,  and 
in  the  ears  of  all  the  people ; 

8 The  prophets  that  have  been  be- 
fore me  and  before  thee  of  old  pro- 
phesied both  against  many  coun- 
tries, and  against  great  kingdoms, 
of  war,  and  of  evil,  and  of  pesti- 
lence. 

9 "The  prophet  which  prophesi- 
eth  of  peace,  when  the  word  of  the 
prophet  shall  come  to  pass,  then 
shall  the  prophet  be  known,  that 
the  Lord  hath  truly  sent  him. 

10  U Then  Han-a-ni-ah  the  prophet 
took  the  ^voke  from  off  the  prophet 
j6r-6-mI-ah’s  neck,  and  brake  it. 

11  And  Han-a-ni-ah  spake  in  the 

Ejsence  of  all  the  people,  saying, 
us  saith  the  Lord  ; Even  so  will 
I break  the  yoke  of  N6b-u-chad-

the  neck  of  all  nations  within  the

saying, 

1 3 Go  and  tell  Han-a-m-ah,  saying, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; Thou  hast 
broken  the  yokes  of  wood ; but 
thou  shalt  make  for  them  yokes  of 
iron. 

14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is-ra-el ; “I  have 
put  a yoke  of  iron  upon  the  neck 
of  all  these  nations,  that  they  may 
serve  N6b-u-ehad-n6z-zar  king  of 
Bab-H(^n;  and  they  shall  serve 
him:  and  "*1  have  given  him  the 
beasts  of  the  field  also. 

15  51  Then  said  the  prophet  J6r-e- 
mi-ah  unto  Han-a-ni-^  the  prophet. 
Hear  now,  Han-a-ni-ah ; The  Lord 
hath  not  sent  thee ; but  *thou  mak- 
est  this  people  to  trust  in  a lie. 

1 6 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
Behold,  I will  cast  thee  from  off  the 
face  of  the  earth : this  year  thou 
shalt  die,  because  thou  hast  taught 
•^rebellion^  against  the  Lord. 

1 7 So  Han-a-ni-ah  the  prophet  died 
the  same  year  in  the  seventn  month. 

CHAPTER  29. 

1 Jeremiah  sendeth  a letter  to  the  captives  in  Babylon,  to 
be  quiet  there,  8 and  not  to  believe  the  dreams  of  their 
prophets,  10  and  that  they  shall  return  with  grace  after 
seventy  years.  15  He  foretelleth  the  destruction  of  the 
rest  for  their  disobedience.  20  He  sheweth  the  fearful 
end  of  Ahab  and  Zedekiah,  two  lying  prophets.  30  She- 
maiah's  doom  foretold.

phet sent  from  Je-ru-sAlem  unto 
the  residue  of  the  elders  which 
were  carried  away  captives,  and  to

I have  caused  to  be  carried  away 
from  JAru-sa-l6m  unto  Bab-y-l5n;

the  fruit  of  them ; 

6 Take  ye  wives,  and  beget  sons 
and  daughters ; and  take  wives  for

to  husbands,  that  they  may  bear

sons  and  daughters ; that  ye  may 
be  increased  there,  and  not  dimin- 
ished. 

7 And  seek  the  peace  of  the  city 
whither  I have  caused  you  to  be 
carried  away  captives,  *and  pray 
unto  the  Lord  for  it : for  in  the 
peace  thereof  shall  ye  have  peace. 

8 U For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is-ra-el ; !l^t  not 
your  prophets  and  your  diviners, 
that  be  in  the  midst  of  you,  ‘'de- 
ceive you,  neither  hearken  to 
your  dreams  which  ye  cause  to  be 
dreamed. 

9 For  they  prophesy  ^ falsely  unto 
you  in  ray  name : I have  not  sent 
thenn  saith  the  Lord. 

10  IT  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
That  after  ^seventy  years  be  ac- 
complished at  Bab-y-l(3n  I will  visit 
you,  and  perform  ray  good  word 
toward  you,  in  causing  you  to  re- 
turn to  this  place. 

11  For  I know  the  thoughts  that  I 
think  toward  you,  saith  the  Lord, 
thoughts  of  peace,  and  not  of  evil, 
to  give  you  an  ^expected  end. 

12  Then  shall  ye  *call  upon  me, 
and  ye  shall  go  and.  pray  unto  me, 
and  I will  hearken  unto  you. 

1 3 And  *ye  shall  seek  me,  and  find 
me,  when  ye  shall  search  for  me 
^with  all  your  heart. 

14  And  ”"1  will  be  found  of  you, 
saith  the  Lord  : and  I will  turn 
away  your  captivity,  and  will 
gather  you  from  all  the  nations, 
and  from  all  the  places  whither  1 
have  driven  you,  saith  the  Lord  ; 
and  I will  bring  you  again  into  the 
place  whence  I caused  you  to  be 
carried  away  captive. 

15  ^ Because  ye  have  said.  The 
Lord  hath  raised  us  up  prophets 
in  Bab-y-l6n; 

1 6 Know  that  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  the  king  that  sitteth  upon  the 
throne  of  DaMd,  and  of  all  the  peo- 
ple that  dwelleth  in  this  city,  and 
of  your  brethren  that  are  not  gone 
forth  with  you  into  captivity ; 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
Behold,  I will  send  upon  them  the 
® sword,  the  famine,  and  the  pesti- 
lence, and  will  make  them  like  *vile 
figs,  that  cannot  be  eaten,  they  are 
so  evil. 

18  And  I will  persecute  them  with 
the  sword,  with  the  famine,  and 
with  the  pestilence,  and  *will  de- 
liver them  to  be  removed  to  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  earth,  ^to  be  ^a 
curse,  and  an  astonishment,  and 
an  hissing,  and  a reproach,  among 
all  the  nations  whither  I have 
driven  them:

which  “I  sent  unto  them  by  my  ‘ 
servants  the  prophets,  rising  up 
early  and  sending  them;  but  ye 
would  not  hear,  saith  the  Lord. 

20  IT  Hear  ye  therefore  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  all  ye  of  the  captivity, 
whom  I have  sent  from  JAru-sa- 
lem  to  Bab-y-l5n: 

21  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is-ra-el,  of  Adiab  the  son 
of  K6-la-iah,  and  of  Zed-e-ki-ah  the 
son  of  Ma-a-se-iah,  which  prophesy 
a lie  unto  you  in  my  name;  Be- 
hold, I will  deliver  them  into  the 
hand  of  Neb-u-chad-r6z-zar  king  of 
Bab-y-lon ; and  he  shall  slay  them 
before  your  eyes ; 

22  ■''And  of  them  shall  be  taken  up 
a curse  by  all  the  captivity  of  Ju- 
dah which  are  in  Bab-y-l6n,  saying. 
The  Lord  make  thee  like  Zed-6~ 
ki-ah  and  like  A-hab,  ^whom  the 
king  of  Bab-y-l5n  roasted  in  the  fire: 

23  Because  '"they  have  committed 
villany  in  Is-ra-el,  and  have  com- 
mitted adultery  with  their  neigh- 
bours’ wives,  and  have  spoken  lying 
words  in  my  name,  which  I have 
not  commanded  them ; even  I know, 
and  am  a witness,  saith  the  Lord. 

24  IT  Thus  shalt  thou  also  speak 
to  ShAma-iah  the  ^NAhel-a-mite, 
saying, 

25  Thusspeaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is-ra-el,  saying.  Because 
thou  hast  sent  letters  in  thy  name 
Ainto  all  the  people  that  are  at  JA 
ru-sa-lem,  "and  to  Zeph-a-ni-ah  the 
son  of  Ma-a-se-iah  the  priest,  and 
to  all  the  priests,  saying, 

26  The  Lord  hath  made  thee  priest 
in  the  stead  of  JAhoi-a-da  the  priest, 
that  ye  should  be  ^officers  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  for  every  man 
that  is  ®mad,  and  maketh  himself  a 

grophet,  that  thou  shouldest  ""put 
im  in  prison,  and  in  the  stocks. 

27  ISTow  therefore  why  hast  thou 
not  reproved  Jer-e-mi-ah  of  An-a- 
th5th,  which  maketh  himself  a 
prophet  to  youl 

28  For  therefore  he  sent  untp  us 
in  Bab-y-l5n,  saying.  This  captivity 
is  long  : “build  ye  houses,  and  dwell 
in  them ; and  plant  gardens,  and  eat 
the  fruit  of  them. 

29  And  Zeph-Ani-ah  the  priest  read 
this  letter  in  the  ears  of  J 6r-6-mi-ah 
the  prophet. 

30  il  Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  Jer-6-mi-ah,  saying, 

31  Send  to  all  them  of  the  cap- 
tivity, saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
concerning  ShAma-iah  the  NAhel-

cause  them  to  return  to  the  land 
that  I gave  to  their  fathers,  and 
they  shall  possess  it. 

4 11  And  these  are  the  words  that 
the  Lord  spake  concerning  Is-ra-el 
and  concerning  J u-dah. 

5 For  thus  saith  the  Lord;  We 
have  heard  a voice  of  trembhng, 

2 of  fear,  and  not  of  peace. 

6 Ask  ye  now,  and  see  whether 
man  doth  travail  with  child  1 where-

hands  on  his  loins,  ^as  a woman  in 
travail,  and  all  faces  are  turned  into

7 ^Alas  ! for  that  day  is  great,  ^so 
that  none  is  like  it : it  is  even  the 
time  of  Ja-cbb’s  trouble;  but  he 
shall  be  saved  out  of  it. 

8 For  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that 
day,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  that  I 
will  break  his  yoke  from  off  thy 
neck,  and  will  burst  thy  bonds, 
and  strangers  shall  no  more  serve 
themselves  of  him : 

9 But  they  shall  serve  the  Lord 
their  God,  and^Da-vid  their  king, 
whom  I will  ‘raise  up  unto  them. 

10  II  Therefore  “fear  thou  not,  O 
my  servant  Ja--e5b,  saith  the  Lord

Lord,  to  save  thee : -^though  I make

have  scattered  thee,  ^yet  will  I not

This  is  Zi-5n,  whom  no  man  seeketh

they  shall  not  be  small.

I will  punish  all  that  oppress  them. 

21  And  their  nobles  shall  be  ot

-^will  I be  the  God  of  all  the

be  my  people. 

2 Thus  saith  the  Lord,  The  people 
which  were  left  of  the  sword  found 
grace  in  the  wilderness;  even  Is-

rest. 

3 The  Lord  hath  appeared  ^of  old 
unto  me,  saying.  Yea,  have  loved 
thee  with  *an  everlasting  love:  there-

them  as  common  things.

watchmen  upon  the  mount  E-phra- 
im  shall  cry,  * Arise  ye,  and  let  us  go 
up  to  Zi-On  unto  the  Lord  our  God. 

7 For  thus  saith  the  Lord  ; *Sing 
with  gladness  for  Ja-c5b,  and  shout 
among  the  chief  of  the  nations : pub-

from  the  coasts  of  the  earth,  and 
with  them  the  blind  and  the  lame, 
the  woman  with  child  and  her  that 
travaileth  with  child  together:  a 
great  company  shall  return  thither. 

9 “They  shall  come  with  weeping, 
and  with  ^supplications  will  I lead 
them : I will  cause  them  to  walk  ‘'by 
the  rivers  of  waters  in  a straight 
way,  wherein  they  shall  not  stum-

1 2 Therefore  they  shall  come  and 
sing  in  *the  height  of  Zi-5n,  and 
shall  flow  together  to  ‘'the  goodness 
of  the  Lord,  for  wheat,  and  for 
wine,  and  for  oil,  and  for  the  young 
of  the  flock  and  of  the  herd : and 
their  soul  shall  be  as  a **  watered 
garden ; ®and  they  shall  not  sorrow 
any  more  at  all. 

13  Then  shall  the  virgin  rejoice 
in  the  dance,  both  young  men  and 
old  together:  for  I will  turn  their 
mourning  into  joy,  and  will  comfort 
them,  and  make  them  rejoice  from 
their  sorrow. 

14  And  I will  satiate  the  soul  of 
the  priests  with  fatness,  and  my 
people  shall  be  satisfied  with  my 
goodness,  saith  the  Lord. 

1 5 H Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; ‘A  voice 
was  heard  in  ^Ra-mah,  lamentation, 
and  bitter  weeping;  Ra-hel  weep- 
ing for  her  children  refused  to  Be 
comforted  for  her  children,  because 
‘’they  were  not. 

1 6 Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; Refrain 
thy  voice  from  weeping,  and  thine 
eyes  from  tears : for  thy  work  shall 
Be  rewarded,  saith  the  Lord  ; and 
"they  shall  come  again  from  the 
land  of  the  enemy. 

1 7 And  there  is  hope  in  thine  end, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  thy  children 
shall  come  again  to  their  own 
Border. 

ism  have  surely  heard  E-phra-im 
bemoaning  himself  thus ; Thou  hast 
chastised  me,  and  I w^as  chastised, 
as  a bullock  unaccustomed  to  the 
yoke : “turn  thou  me,  and  I shall  be 
turned ; for  thou  art  the  Lord  my 
God. 

19  Surely  “after  that  I was  turned, 
I repented ; and  after  that  I was 
instructed,  I smote  upon  my  thigh  : 
I was  ashamed,  yea,  even  con- 
founded, because  I did  bear  the 
reproach  of  my  youth. 

20  Is  E-phra-im  my  dear  sonl  is  he 
a pleasant  child'?  for  since  I spake 
against  him,  I do  earnestly  remem- 
ber him  still:  ^therefore  my  bowels 
®are  troubled  for  him ; *^1  will  surely 
have  mercy  upon  him,  saith  the 
Lord. 

21  Set  thee  up  waymarks,  make 
thee  high  heaps : •''set  thine  heart 
toward  the  highway,  even  the  way 
which  thou  wentest:  turn  again,  0 
virgin  of  l§-ra-6l,  turn  again  to  these 
thy  cities. 

22  51  How  long  wilt  thou  ^go  about, 
O thou  ‘backsliding  daughter  % for 
the  Lord  hath  created  a new  thing 
in  the  earth,  A woman  shall  com- 
pass a man. 

23  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 


God’s  care  for  his  cfiurch. 


JEREMIAH,  32. 


Jeremiah  imprisoned. 


the  God  of  Is-ra-6l ; As  yet  they  shall 

use  this  speech  in  the  land  of  Ju- 
dah and  in  the  cities  thereof,  when 
I shall  bring  again  their  captivity; 
‘^The  Lord  bless  thee,  O habitation 
of  justice,  and  ® mountain  of  holi- 
ness. 

24  And  there  shall  dwell  in  J u-dah 
itself,  and  •'^in  all  the  cities  thereof 
together,  husbandmen,  and  they 
that  go  forth  with  flocks. 

25  For  I have  satiated  the  weary 
soul,  and  I have  replenished  every 
sorrowful  soul. 

26  Upon  this  I awaked,  and  be- 
held ; and  my  sleep  was  sweet  unto 
me. 

27  U Behold,  the  days  c^^me,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  H will  sow  the  house 
of  Is-ra-el  and  the  house  of  Ju-dah 
with  the  seed  of  man,  and  with  the 
seed  of  beast. 

28  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
like  as  I have  ^watched  over  them, 
""to  pluck  up,  and  to  break  down, 
and  to  throw  down,  and  to  destroy, 
and  to  afflict ; so  will  I watch  over 
them,  "to  build,  and  to  plant,  saith 
the  Lord. 

29  ^In  those  days  they  shall  say  no 
more.  The  fathers  have  eaten  a sour 
grape,  and  the  children’s  teeth  are 
set  on  edge. 

30  ""But  every  one  shall  die  for  his 
own  iniquity  : every  man  that  eat- 
eth  the  sour  grape,  his  teeth  shall 
be  set  on  edge. 

31  U Behold,  the  *days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  I will  make  a new 
covenant  with  the  house  of  Is-ra-6l, 
and  with  the  house  of  Ju-dah  : 

32  Not  according  to  the  covenant 
that  I made  with  their  fathers  in 
the  day  that  “I  took  them  by  the 
hand  to  bring  them  out  of  the  land 
of  E-gypt ; which  my  covenant  they 
brake,  ^although  I was  an  husband 
unto  them,  saith  the  Lord  : 

33  ^But  this  shall  be  the  covenant 
that  I will  make  with  the  house  of 
I§-ra-6l ; After  those  days,  saith  the 
Lord,  “I  will  put  m;^  law  in  their 
inward  parts,  and  write  it  in  their 
hearts  ; *and  will  be  their  God,  and 
they  shall  be  my  people. 

34  And  they  shall  teach  no  more 
every  man  his  neighbour,  and  every 
man  his  brother,  saying.  Know  the 
Lord  : for  ‘^they  shall  all  know  me, 
from  the  least  of  them  unto  the 
greatest  of  them,  saith  the  Lord: 
for  will  forgive  their  iniquity,  and 
I will  remember  their  sin  no  more. 

35  II  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  '‘which 
giveth  the  sun  for  a light  by  day, 
and  the  ordinances  of  the  moon 
and  of  the  stars  for  a light  by  night.

CHAPTER  32. 

1 Jeremiah,  being  imprisoned  by  Zedekiah  for  his  proph- 
ecy, 6 buyeth  HanameeVs  field.  13  Baruch  must  pre- 
serve the  evidences.  26  God  confirmeth  the  captivity, 
36  but  promiseth  a gracious  return. 

The  word  that  came  to  Jgr-6-mi- 
ah  from  the  Lord  *in  the  tenth 
year  of  Zed-e-ki-ah  king  of  Ju-dah, 
which  was  the  eighteenth  year  or 
N eb-u-c  had  -rgz-zar. 

2  For  then  the  king  of  Bab-y-lCn's 
army  besieged  Je-ru-sa-lgm : and 
Jer-g-mTah  the  prophet  was  shut 
up  *in  the  court  of  the  prison,  which 
was  in  the  king  of  Ju-dah’s  house. 

3  For  Zgd-6-kiiah  king  of  Ju^dah 
had  shut  him  up,  saying.  Wherefore 
dost  thou  prophesy,  and  say,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  ^Behold,  I will  give 
this  city  into  the  hand  of  the  king 
of  Bab-y-ffln,  and  he  shall  take  it ; 

4  And  Z6d-6-ki-ah  king  of  Ju-dah 
‘’shall  not  escape  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  -Ghal-de-ans,  but  shall  surely  be 
delivered  into  the  hand  of  the  king 
of  Bab-y-lOn,  and  shall  speak  with 
him  mouth  to  mouth,  and  his  eyes 
shall  behold  his  eyes  ; 

5  And  he  shall  lead  Z6d-6-ki-ah  to 
Bab-y-l6n,  and  there  shall  he  be 
■''until  I visit  him,  saith  the  Lord  *. 
^though  ye  fight  with  the  -Chal- 
de-ans,  ye  shall  not  prosper. 

6  ^ And  J 6r-6-mi-ah  said,  The  word 
of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

7  Behold,  Ha-nam-e-6l  the  son  of 


Jeremiah  in  prayer 


expostulateth  with  God. 


Shal-lum  thine  uncle  shall  come 
unto  thee,  saying,  Buy  thee  my 
field  that  is  in  An-a-th6th : for  the 
® right  of  redemption  is  thine  to 
buy  it. 

8 So  Ha-nam-6-6l  mine  uncle’s  son 
came  to  me  in  the  court  of  the 
prison  according  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  and  said  unto  me.  Buy  my 
field,  I pray  thee,  that  is  in  An-a- 
th(3th,  which  is  in  the  country  of 
Ben-ja-min  : for  the  right  of  inherit- 
ance is  thine,  and  the  redemption 
is  thine ; buy  it  for  thyself.  Then 
I knew  that  this  was  the  word  of 
the  Lord. 

9 And  I bought  the  field  of  Ha- 
nam-Ael  my  uncle’s  son,  that  was 
in  An-a-thOth,  and  -^weighed  him 
the  money,  even  ^seventeen  shek-els 
of  silver. 

10  And  I ^subscribed  the  evidence, 
and  sealed  it,  and  took  witnesses, 
and  weighed  him  the  money  in  the 
balances. 

11  So  I took  the  evidence  of  the 
purchase,  both  that  which  was  sealed 
according  to  the  law  and  custom, 
and  that  which  was  open : 

12  And  I gave  the  evidence  of  the 
purchase  unto  *Ba-ruch  the  son  of 
Ne-ri-ah,  the  son  of  Ma-a-se-iah, 
in  the  sight  of  Ha-nam-e-el  mine 
uncle’s  son,  and  in  the  presence  of 
the  ""witnesses  that  subscribed  the 
book  of  the  purchase,  before  all  the 
Jews  that  sat  in  the  court  of  the 
prison. 

13  U And  I charged  Ba-rueh  be- 
fore them,  saying, 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts 
the  God  of  Is-rAel ; Take  these  evi 
dences,  this  evidence  of  the  pur- 
chase, both  which  is  sealed,  and  this 
evidence  which  is  open ; and  put 
them  in  an  earthen  vessel,  that  they 
may  continue  many  days. 

15  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is-ra-el ; Houses 
and  fields  and  vineyards  "’shall  be 
possessed  again  in  this  land.^ 

16  ^ Now  when  I had  delivered 
the  evidence  of  the  purchase  unto 
Ba-rueh  the  son  of  Ne-ri-ah,  I prayed 
unto  the  Lord,  saying, 

17  Ah  Lord  God  ! behold,  "‘thou 
hast  made  the  heaven  and  the  earth 
by  thy  great  power  and  stretched 
out  arm,  and  there  is  nothing  Hoo 
hard  for  thee : 

18  Thou  shewest  dovingkindness 
unto  thousands,  and  recompensest 
the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  into  the 
bosom  of  tneir  children  after  them; 
the  Great,  ""  the  Mighty  God,  Hhe 
Lord  of  hosts,  is  his  name, 

19  Great  in  counsel,  and  mighty

upon  all  the  ways  of  the  sons  of 
men;  *to  give  every  one  according 
to  his  ways,  and  according  to  the 
fruit  of  his  doings ; 

20  Which  hast  set  signs  and  won- 
ders in  the  land  of  E-g:ypt,  even 
unto  this  day,  and  in  Is?ra-6l,  and 
among  other  men ; and  hast  made 
thee  name,  as  at  this  day; 

21  And  ®hast  brought  forth  thy 
people  Is-ra-el  out  of  the  land  of 
E-gypt  with  signs,  and  with  won- 
ders, and  with  a strong  hand,  and 
with  a stretched  out  arm,  and  with 
great  terror ; 

22  And  hast  given  them  this  land, 
which  thou  didst  swear  to  their 
fathers  to  give  them,  ^a  land  flow- 
ing with  milk  and  honey ; 

23  And  they  came  in,  and  possessed 
it ; but  ^they  obeyed  not  thy  voice, 
neither  walked  in  thy  law;  they 
have  done  nothing  of  all  that  thou 
commandedst  them  to  do ; therefore 
thou  hast  caused  all  this  evil  to 
come  upon  them; 

24  Behold  the  ‘‘mounts,  they  are 
come  unto  the  city  to  take  it ; and 
the  city  Ts  given  into  the  hand  of 
the  -Ghal-de-ans,  that  fight  against 
it,  because  of  ‘the  sword,  and  of  the 
famine,  and  of  the  pestilence  ; and 
what  thou  hast  spoken  is  corue  to 
pass  ; and,  behold,  thou  seest  it. 

25  And  thou  hast  said  unto  me, 
O Lord  God,  Buy  thee  the  field  for 
money,  and  take  witnesses  ; ® for 
""the  city  is  given  into  the  hand  of 
the  -Ghal-de-ans, 

26  H Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi-ah,  saying, 

27  Behold,  I am  the  Lord,  the 
“God  of  all  flesh;  ^is  there  any 
thing  too  hard  for  mel 

28  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
Behold,  will  give  this  city  into 
the  hand  of  the  -Ghal-de-ans,  and 
into  the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-rez- 
zar  king  of  Bab-y-l5n,  and  he  shall 
take  it ; 

29  And  the  -Ghal-de-ans,  that  fight 
against  this  city,  shall  come  and  *set 
fire  on  this  city,  and  burn  it  with 
the  houses,  ‘upon  whose  roofs  they 
have  offered  incense  unto  Ba-al,  and 
poured  out  drink  offerings  unto

30  For  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  and

done  evil  before  me  from  their 
youth;  for  the  children  of  Is-ra-el

priests,  and  their  prophets,  and  the 
men  of  Ju-dah,  and  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

33  And  they  have  turned  unto  me 
the  ®back,^  and  not  the  face:  though 
I taught  them,  -^rising  up  early  and 
teaching  them,  yet  they  have  not 
hearkened  to  receive  instruction. 

34  But  they  ^set  their  abomina- 
tions in  the  house,  which  is  called 
by  my  name,  to  defile  it. 

35  And  they  built  the  high  places 
of  Ba-al,  which  are  in  the  valley  of 
the  son  of  Hin-n5m,  to  * cause  their 
sons  and  their  daughters  to  pass 
through  the  fire  unto  ^Modeeh; 
” which  I commanded  them  not, 
neither  came  it  into  my  mind,  that 
they  should  do  this  abomination, 
to  cause  Ju-dah  to  sin. 

36  U And  now  therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is-ra-el,  con- 
cerning this  city,  whereof  ye  say, 
^It  shall  be  delivered  into  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  Bab-y-l6n  by  the 
sword,  and  by  the  famine,  and  by 
the  pestilence; 

37  Behold,  I will  ^gather  them 
out  of  all  countries,  whither  I have 
driven  them  in  mine  anger,  and  in 
my  fury,  and  in  great  wrath ; and 
I will  bring  them  again  unto  this 
place,  and  I will  cause  them  ^to 
dwell  safely : 

38  And  they  shall  be  “my  people, 
and  I will  be  their  God  : 

39  And  I will  ^givQ  them  one  heart, 
and  one  way,  that  they  may  fear 
me  ^for  ever,  for  the  good  of  them, 
and  of  their  children  after  them  : 

40  And  "I  will  make  an  everlast- 
ing covenant  with  them,  that  I will 
not  turn  away  ®from  them,  to  do 
them  good  ; but  will  put  my  fear 
in  their  hearts,  that  they  shall  not 
depart  from  me. 

41  Yea,  will  rejoice  over  them 
to  do  them  good,  and  will  plant 
them  in  this  land  ^assuredly  with 
my  whole  heart  and  with  my  whole 
soul. 

42  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  ; *Like 
as  I have  brought  all  this  great  evil 
upon  this  people,  so  will  I bring 
upon  them  all  the  good  that  I have 
promised  them. 

43  And  ^fields  shall  be  bought  in 
this  land,  "“whereof  ye  say.  It  is

desolate  without  man  or  beast;  it 
is  given  into  the  hand  of  the  -Ghal- 
de-ans. 

44  Men  shall  buy;  fields  for  money, 
and  subscribe  evidences,  and  sea] 
them,  and  take  witnesses  in  ^the 
land  of  Ben-ja-min,  and  in  the 
places  about  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  in 
the  cities  of  Ju-dah,  ana  in  the 
cities  of  the  mountains,  and  in  the 
cities  of  the  valley,  and  in  the  cities 
of  the  south  : for  will  cause  their 
captivity  to  return,  saith  the  Lord. 

CHAPTEB  33. 

1 God  promiseth  a gracious  return,  9 a joyful  state,  12  a 

settled  government,  15  Christ  the  Branch,  17  a continu- 
ance of  kingdom,  20  and  a blessed  seed. 

OREOVEB  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi-ah 
the  second  time,  while  he  was  yet 
'"shut  up  in  the  court  of  the  prison, 
saying, 

2 Thus  saith  the  Lord  the  maker 
thereof,  the  Lord  that  formed  it, 
to  establish  it;  "“the^  Lord  is  his 
name ; 

3 ‘’Call  unto  me,  and  I will  answer 
thee,  and  shew  thee  great  and 
^mighty  things,  which  thou  know- 
est  not. 

4 For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  IsYa-el,  concerning  the 
bouses  of  this  city,  and  concerning 
the  houses  of  the  kings  of  Ju-dah, 
which  are  thrown  down  by  ®the 
mounts,  and  by  the  sword ; 

5 *They  come  to  fight  with  the 
■Ghal-de-ans,  but  it  is  to  fill  them 
with  the  dead  bodies  of  men,  whom 
I have  slain  in  mine  anger  and  in 
my  fury,  and  for  all  whose  wick- 
edness I have  hid  my  face  from 
this  city. 

6 Behold,  will  bring  it  health 
and  cure,  and  I will  cure  them,  and 
will  reveal  unto  them  the  abun- 
dance of  peace  and  truth. 

7 And  M will  cause  the  captivity 
of  Ju-dah  and  the  captivity  of  Is- 
ra-el  to  return,  and  will  build  them, 
*as  at  the  first. 

8 And  I will  ‘'cleanse  them  from 
all  their  iniquity,  whereby  they 
have  sinned  against  me  ; and  I will 
® pardon  all  their  iniquities,  where- 
by they  have  sinned,  and  whereby 
they  have  transgressed  against  me. 

9 y '^And  it  shall  be  to  me  a name 
of  joy,  a praise  and  an  honour  be- 
fore all  the  nations  of  the  earth, 
which  shall  hear  all  the  good  that 
I do  unto  them : and  they  shall 
*fear  and  tremble  for  all  the  good- 
ness and  for  all  the  prosperity  that 
I procure  unto  it. 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Again 
there  shall  be  heard  in  this  place, 


A gracious  return  JEREMIAH,  34.  from  captivity  promisea. 


“which  ye  say  shall  he  desolate 

without  man  and  without  beast, 
even  in  the  cities  of  Ju-dah,  and  in 
the  streets  of  Jo-ru-sa-lem,  that  are 
desolate,  without  man,  and  without 
inhabitant,  and  without  beast, 

1 1 The  voice  of  joy,  and  the  voice 
of  gladness,  the  voice  of  the  bride- 
groom, and  the  voice  of  the  bride, 
the  voice  of  them  that  shall  say, 
‘^Praise  the  Lord  of  hosts : for  the 
Lord  is  good ; for  his  mercy  en- 
dureth  for  ever : and  of  them  that 
shall  bring  ■'’the  sacrifice  of  praise 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord.  For 
will  cause  to  return  the  captivity 
of  the  land,  as  at  the  first,  saith 
the  Lord. 

12  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 
*Again  in  this  place,  which  is  deso- 
late without  man  and  without  beast, 
and  in  all  the  cities  thereof,  shall  be 
an  habitation  of  shepherds  causing 
their  flocks  to  lie  down. 

^ 13  ’”In  the  cities  of  the  mountains, 
in  the  cities  of  the  vale,  and  in  the 
cities  of  the  south,  and  in  the  land 
of  Bend'a-mm,  and  in  the  places 
about  J e-ru-sa-lem,  and  in  the  cities 
of  Ju-dah,  shall  the  flocks  ‘'pass 
again  under  the  hands  of  him  that 
telleth  them,  saith  the  Lord. 

14  -^Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that/ 1 will  perform  that 
good  thing  which  I have  promised 
unto  the  house  of  Is-ra-el  and  to 
the  house  of  Ju-dah. 

15  H In  those  days,  and  at  that 
time,  will  I cause  the  * Branch  of 
righteousness  to  grow  up  unto  Da- 
vid ; and  he  shall  execute  judgment 
and  righteousness  in  the  land. 

16  “In  those  days  shall  Ju-dah  be 
saved,  and  Jo-ru-sa-lem  shall  dwell 
safely : and  this  is  the  name  where- 
with she  shall  be  called,  ^The  Lord 
our  righteousness. 

17  ^ For  thus  saith  the  Lord; 
®Da-vid  shall  never  ^want  a man 
to  sit  upon  the  throne  of  the  house 
of  Is-ra-el ; 

18  Neither  shall  the  priests  the 
Le-vltes  want  a man  before  me  to 
^ offer  burnt  offerings,  and  to  kindle 
meat  offerings,  and  to  do  sacrifice 
continually. 

19  H And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  J er-e-mi-ah,  saying, 

20  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; ‘'If  ye 
can  break  my  covenant  of  the  day, 
and  my  covenant  of  the  night,  and 
that  there  should  not  be  day  and 
night  in  their  season ; 

21  Then  may  also  ®my  covenant 
be  broken  with  Da-vid  my  servant, 
that  he  should  not  have  a son 
CO  reign  upon  his  throne ; and  I

22  As  Hhe  host  of  heaven  cannot 
be  numbered,  neither  the  sand  of 
the  sea  measured  : so  will  I multi- 
ply the  seed  of  Da-vid  my  servant, 
and  the  Le-vites  that  minister  unto 
me. 

23  Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  Jer-e-mi-ah,  saying, 

24  Considerest  thou  not  what  this 
people  have  spoken,  saying,  «The 
two  families  wnich  the  Lord  hath 
chosen,  he  hath  even  cast  them  off? 
thus  they  have  despised  my  people, 
that  they  should  be  no  more  a na- 
tion before  them. 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  If  '"my 
covenant  be  not  with  day  and  night, 
and^  if  I have  not  appointed  the 
ordinances  of  heaven  and  earth ; 

26  'Then  will  I cast  away  the  seed 
of  Ja'-eob,  and  Da-vid  my  servant, 
so  that  I will  not  take  any  of  his 
seed  to  he  rulers  over  the  seed  of 
A-bra-ham,  I-saae,  and  Ja-eOb  : for 
“I  will  cause  their  captivity  to  re- 
turn, and  have  mercy  on  them.

CHAPTER  34. 

1 Jeremiah  prophesieth  the  captivity  of  Zedckiah  and  the 
city.  8 The  princes  and  the  people  having  dismissed 
their  bondservants,  contrary  to  the  covenant  of  God,  re- 
assume  them.  17  God  giveth  them  and  Zedekiah  into  the 
hands  of  their  enemies. 

The  word  which  came  unto  Jer^ 
e-mi-ah  from  the  Lord,  ’'when 
Neb-u-ehad-nez-zar  king  of  Bab-y- 
Iqn,  and  all  his  army,  and  *all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  earth  ^of  his  do- 
minion, and  all  the  people,  fought 
against  J O-ru-sa-lem,  and  against  all 
the  cities  thereof,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Is-ra-el ; Go  and  speak  to  Zed-e- 
ki-ah  king  of  Ju-dah,  and  tell  him, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; Behold, 
will  give  this  city  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n,  and  ^'he  shall 
burn  it  with  fire  : 

3  And  “thou  shalt  not  escape  out  of 
his  hand,  but  shalt  surely  be  taken, 
and  delivered  into  his  hand ; and 
thine^  eyes  shall  behold  the  eyes  of 
the  king  of  Bab-y-l6n,  and  ^he  shall 
speak  with  thee  mouth  to  mouth, 
and  thou  shalt  go  to  Bab-y-l6n. 

4  Yet  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
O Zed-e-ki-ah  king  of  Ju-dah  ; Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  thee.  Thou  shalt 
not  die  by  the  sword : 

5  But  thou  shalt  die  in  peace : and 
with  ‘'the  burnings  of  thy  fathers, 
the  former  kings  which  were  before 
thee,  •'"so  shall  they  burn  odours  for 
thee;  and  ^^they  will  lament  thee, 
saying,  Ah  lord ! for  I have  pro- 
nounced the  word,  saith  the  Lord. 


Captivity  of  Zedekiah  JEREMIAH,  35. and  the  people  foretold. 


6 Then  Jer-e-mi-ah  the  prophet 
spake  all  these  words  unto  Zed-6- 
ki-ah  king  of  Ju-dah  in  JAru-sa-lem, 

7 When  the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n’s 
army  fought  against  Je-ru-sa-lem, 
and  against  all  the  cities  of  J u-dah 
that  were  left,  against  La-ehish,  and 
against  A-ze-kah  : for  ® these  ^ de- 
fenced  cities  remained  of  the  cities 
of  Ju-dah. 

8 H This  is  the  word  that  came 
unto  Jer-e-mi-ah  from  the  Lord, 
after  that  the  king  Zed-e-ki-ah  had 
made  a covenant  with  all  the  people 
which  were  at  Je-ru-sa-lem,  to  pro- 
claim -^liberty  unto  them ; 

9 ^That  every  man  should  let  his 
manservant,  and  every  mai^  his 
maidservant,  being  an  He-brew  or 
an  He-brew-ess,  go  free  ; ^that  none 
should  serve  bimself  of  them,  to 
wit,  of  a Jew  his  brother. 

10  Now  when  all  the  princes,  and 
all  the  people,  which  had  entered 
int  J the  covenant,  heard  that  every 
one  should  let  his  manservant,  and 
every  one  his  maidservant,  go  free, 
that  none  should  serve  themselves 
of  them  any  more,  then  they  obeyed, 
and  let  them  go. 

11  But  ^afterward  they  turned, 
and  caused  the  servants  and  the 
handmaids,  whom  they  had  let  go 
free,  to  return,  and  brought  them 
into  subjection  for  servants  and  for 
handmaids. 

12  11  Therefore  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  Jer-e-mi-ah  from  the 
Lord,  saying, 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Is-ra-el ; I made  a covenant  with 
vour  fathers  in  the  day  that  I 
brought  them  forth  out  of  the  land 
of  E-gypL  out  of  the  house  of  bond- 
men,  saying, 

14  At  the  end  of  ^ seven  years  let 
ye  go_every  man  his  brother  an 
He-brew,  which  ‘"^hath  been  sold 
unto  thee ; and  when  he  hath 
served  thee  six  years,  thou  shalt 
let  him  go  free  from  thee : but 
your  fathers  hearkened  not  unto 
me,  neither  inclined  their  ear. 

15  And  ye  were  ^now  turned,  and 
had  done  right  in  my  sight,  in 
proclaiming  liberty  every  man  to 
nis  neighbour ; and  ye  had  *made 
a covenant  before  me  *in  the  house 
^wbich  is  called  by  my  name  : 

16  But  ye  turned  and  ^polluted  my 
name,  and  caused  every  man  his 
servant,  and  every  man  his  hand- 
maid, whom  he  had  set  at  liberty 
at  their  pleasure,  to  return,  and 
brought  them  into  subjection,  to 
be  unto  you  for  servants  and  for 
handmaids.

Ye  have  not  hearkened  unto  me, 
in  proclaiming  liberty,  every  one 
to  his  brother,  and  every  man  to 
his  neighbour  : “behold,  I proclaim

Ho  be  removed  into  aU  the  king-

have  transgressed  my  covenant, 
which  have  not  performed  the 
words  of  the  covenant  which  they 
had  made  before  me,  when  Hhey 
cut  the  calf  in  twain,  and  passed

princes  of  Je-ru-sa-lem,  the  eunuchs, 
and  the  priests,  and  all  the  people

hand  of  their  enemies,  and  into 
the  hand  of  them  that  seek  their

1 By  the  obedience  of  the  Rechabitcs,  12  Jeremiah  condemn- 

eth  the  disobedience  of  the  Jews.  18  <iod  blcsseth  the  Re- 

chabites  for  their  obedience. 

1IHE  word  which  came  unto  JSr- 
. e-mi-ah  from  the  Lord  in  the 
days  of  Jo-hoi-Akim  the  son  of  Jo- 
si-ab  king  of  Ju-dah,  saying, 

2  Go  unto  the  house  of  the  ®Re- 
ehab-ites,  and  speak  unto  them,  and 
bring  them  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  into  one  of  "’the  chambers, 
and  give  them  wine  to  drink. 

3  Then  I took  Ja-az-a-ni-ah  the 
son  of  Jer-e-ml-ah,  the  son  of  Hab- 
a-zi-ni-ah,  and  his  brethren,  and  all 
his  sons,  and  the  whole  bouse  of 
the  ReHhab-ites ; 

4  And  I brought  them  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  into  the  cham- 
ber of  the  sons  of  Ha-nan,  the  son 
of  Ig-da-li-ah,  a man  of  God,  which

Obedience  of  the  Rechnhites.  JEREMIAH,  36.  Baruch  readeth  a 


Ma-a-se-iah  the  son  of  Shal-ltim, 

®the  keeper  of  the  Moor: 

5 And  I set  before  the  sons  of  the 
house  of  the  ReMhab-ites  pots  full 
of  wine,  and  cups,  and  I said  unto 
them,  Drink  ye  wine. 

6 But  they  said.  We  will  drink  no 
wine : for  *JOn-a-dab  the  son  of 
ReMhab  our  father  commanded  us, 
saying.  Ye  shall  drink  no  wine,  nei- 
ther nor  your  sons  for  ever : 

7 Neither  shall  ye  build  house,  nor 
sow  seed,  nor  plant  vineyard,  nor 
have  any:  but  all  your  days  ye 
shall  dwell  in  tents ; ‘*that  ye  may 
live  many  days  in  the  land  where 
ye  be  strangers. 

8 Thus  have  we  obeyed  the  voice 
of  J On-a-dab  the  son  of  ReMhab  our 
father  in  all  that  he  hath  charged 
us,  to  drink  no  wine  all  our  days, 
we,  our  wives,  our  sons,  nor  our 
daughters ; 

9 Nor  to  build  houses  for  us  to 
dwell  in : neither  have  we  vine- 
yarcL  nor  field,  nor  seed : 

10  But  we  have  dwelt  in  tents,  and 
have  obeyed,  and  done  according  to 
all  that  J6n-a-dab  our  father  com- 
manded us. 

1 1 But  it  came  to  pass,  when  Neb- 
u-chM-rez-zar  king  of  Bab-y-l5n 
came  up  into  the  land,  that  we 
said.  Come,  and  let  us  go  to  Je-ru- 
sa-lem  for  fear  of  the  army  of  the 
•Chal-de-ans,  and  for  fear  of  the 
army  of  the  Syr4-ans : so  we  dwell 
at  J e-ru-sa-lem. 

12  ^ Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi-ah,  saying, 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  IsYa-el ; Go  and  tell  the 
men  of  Ju-dah  and  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru-sa-lem,  Will  ye  not  *re- 
ceive  instruction  to  hearken  to  my 
words '?  saith  the  Lord. 

14  The  words  of  J6n-a-dab  the  son 
of  ReMhab,  that  he  commanded  his 
sons  not  to  drink  wine,  are  per- 
formed ; for  unto  this  day  tney 
drink  none,  but  obey  their  father’s 
commandment:  ’'notwithstanding I 
have  spoken  unto  you,  ^rising  early 
and  speaking ; but  ye  hearkened 
not  unto  me. 

15  ’'I  have  sent  also  unto  you  all 
my  servants  the  prophets,  rising 
up  early  and  sending  them,  saying, 
‘Return  ye  now  every  man  from  his 
evil  way,  and  amend  your  doings, 
and  go  not  after  other  gods  to  serve 
them,  and  ye  shah  dwell  in  the 
land  which  I have  given  to  you  and 
to  your  fathers  : but  ye  have  not 
inclined  your  ear,  nor  hearkened 
unto  me.

commandment  of  J6n-a-dab  your

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fourth 
year  of  J e-hoi-a-kim  the  son  of 
Jo-si-ah  king  of  JuMah,  that  this 
word  came  unto  J6r-6-mi-ah  from 
the  Lord,  saying, 

2 Take  thee  a -^roll  of  a book,  and 
^ write  therein  all  the  words  that  I 
have  spoken  unto  thee  against  Is- 
ra-el,  and  against  JuMah,  and  a- 
gainst  '‘all  the  nations,  from  the  day 
I spake  unto  thee,  from  the  days 
of  *Jo-si-ah,  even  unto  this  day. 

3 Gt  may  be  that  the  house  of 
J uMah  will  hear  all  the  evil  which 
I purpose  to  do  unto  them  ; that 
they  may  "'return  every  man  from 
his  evil  way;  that  I may  forgive 
their  iniquity  and  their  sin. 

4 Then  Jer-e-mi-ah ‘called  BaYuch 
the  son  of  NAri-ah : and  «BaYuch 
wrote  from  the  mouth  of  Jer-6- 
mi-ah  all  the  words  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  had  spoken  unto  him, 
upon  a roll  of  a book. 

5^  And  J6r-e-mi-ah  commanded 
BaYuch,  saying,  I am  shut  up;  J 
cannot  go  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord  : 

6 Therefore  go  thou,  and  read  in 
the  roll,  which  thou  hast  written 
from  my  mouth,  the  words  of  the 
Lord  in  the  ears  of  the  people  in 
the  Lord’s  house  upon  * the  fasting 
day : and  also  thou  shalt  read  them

roll  of  prophecies. 


JEREMIAH,  36. 


The  roll  is  huTTied. 


in  the  ears  of  all  Ju-dah  that  come 
out  of  their  cities, 

7 “It  may  be  Hhey  will  present  « 
their  supplication  before  the  Lord,  '■ 
and  will  return  every  one  from  his 
evil  way:  for  great  is  the  anger 
and  the  fury  that  the^  Lord  hath 
pronounced  against  this  people. 

8 And  Ba-ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri-ah 
did  according  to  all  that  J6r-6-mi-ah 
the  prophet  commanded  him,  read- 
ing in  the  book  the  words  of  the 
Lord  in  the  Lord’s  house. 

9 And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fifth 
year  of  Je-hoi-a-kim  the  son  of  Jo- 
sl-ah  king  of  Ju-dah,  in  the  ninth 
month,  that  they  proclaimed  a fast 
before  the  Lord  to  all  the  people  in 
Je  ru-sa-lem,  and  to  all  the  people 
that  came  from  the  cities  of  J u-dah 


B.C.  606.

supplication

unto  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

10  Then  read  Ba-rueh  in  the  book 
the  words  of  J6r-e-mi-ah  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  in  the  chamber 
of  Gem-a-ri-ah  the  son  of  Sha-phan 
the  scribe,  in  the  higher  court,  at 
the  ^ entry  ^ of  the  new  gate  of  the 
Lord’s  house,  in  the  ears  of  all  the 
people, 

11  IT  When  Mi-eha-iah  the  son  of 
Gem-a-ri-ah,  the  son  of  Sha-phan, 
had  heard  out  of  the  book  all  the 
words  of  the  Lord, 

12  Then  he  went  down  into  the 
king’s  house,  into  the  scribe’s  cham- 
ber : and,  lo,  all  the  princes  sat 
there,,  even  E-lish-a-ma  the  scribe, 
and  I)6-la-iah  the  son  of  She-ma- 
iah,  and  El-na-than  the  son  of  Aeh- 
bdr,  and  Gem-a-ri-ah  the  son  of 
Sha-phan,  and  Zed-e-ki-ah  the  son 
of  Han-a-ni-ah,  and  all  the  princes. 

1 3 Then  Mi-cha-iah  declared  unto 
them  all  the  words  that  he  had 
heard,  when  Ba-rueh  read  the  book 
in  the  ears  of  the  people. 

14  Therefore  all  the  princes  sent 
Je-hu-di  the  son  of  N6th-a-ni-ah, 
the  son  of  Shel-e-mi-ah,  the  son  of 
■Gu-shi,  unto  Ba-riich,  saying.  Take 
in  thine  hand  the  roll  wherein  thou 
hast  read  in  the  ears  of  the  people, 
and  come.  So  Ba-ruch  the  son  of 
Ne-ri-ah  took  the  roll  in  his  hand, 
and  came  unto  them. 

15  And  they  said  unto  him.  Sit 
down  now,  and  read  it  in  our  ears. 
So  Ba-ruch  read  it  in  their  ears. 

16  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  heard  all  the  words,  they 
were  afraid  both  one  and  other, 
and  said  unto  Ba-riich,  We  will 
surely  tell  the  king  of  all  these 
words. 

1 7 And  they  asked  Ba-rtich,  saying. 
Tell  us  now.  How  didst  thou  write 
all  these  words  at  his  mouth  %

king. 


18  Then  Ba-rtich  answered  them, 
He  pronounced  all  these  words  unto 
me  with  his  mouth,  and  I wrote 
them  with  ink  in  the  book. 

19  Then  said  the  princes  unto 
Ba-riich,  Go,  hide  thee,  thou  and 
Jer-e-mi-ah ; and  let  no  man  know 
where  ye  be. 

20  IT  And  they  went  in  to  the  king 
into  the  court,  but  they  laid  up  the 
roll  in  the  chamber  of  E-lish-a-ma 
the  scribe,  and  told  all  the  words 
in  the  ears  of  the  king. 

21  So  the  king  sent  J6-hu;di  to 
fetch  the  roll : and  he  took  it  out 
of  E-lish-a-ma  the  scribe’s  cham- 
ber. And  JAhu-di  read  it  in  the 
ears  of  the  king,  and  in  the  ears  of 
all  the  princes  which  stood  beside 
the  king. 

22  Now  the  king  sat  in  ^the  win- 
terhouse  in  the  ninth  month ; and 
there  was  a fire^  on  the  hearth 
burning  before  him. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
Je-hu-di  had  read  three  or  four 
leaves,  he  cut  it  with  the  penknife, 
and  cast  it  into  the  fire  that  was 
on  the  hearth,  until  all  the  roll  was 
consumed  in  the  fire  that  was  on 
the  hearth. 

24  Yet  they  were  not  afraid,  nor 
‘^rent  their  garments,  neither  the 
king,  nor  any  of  his  servants  that 
heard  all  these  words. 

25  Nevertheless  El-na-than  and 
pg-la-iah  and  Gem-a-ri-ah  had  made 
intercession  to  the  king  that  he 
would  not  burn  the  roll;  but  he 
would  not  hear  them. 

26  But  the  king  commanded  JA 
rah-m6-el  the  son  ^of  Ham-me-lech, 
and  Se-ra-iah  the  son  of  Az-ri-el, 
and  Sh6l-e-mi-ah  the  son  of  Ab-de- 
6l,  to  take  Ba-ruch  the  scribe  and 
Jer-e-mi-ah  the  prophet : but  the 
Lord  hid  them. 

27  ^ Then  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  J6r-6-mi-ah,  after  that  the 
king  had  burned  the  roll,  and  the 
words  which  Ba-riich  wrote  at  the 
mouth  of  J6r-6-mi-ah,  saying, 

28  Take  thee  again  another  roll, 
and  write  in  it  all  the  former  words 
that  were  in  the  first  roll,  which 
Je-hoi-a-kim  the  king  of  Ju-dah 
hath  burned. 

29  And  thou  shalt  say  to  Je-hoi- 
a-kim  king  of  Ju-dah,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  ; Thou  hast  burned  this 
roll,  saying.  Why  hast  thou  written 
therein,  saying.  The  king  of  Bab- 
y-len  shall  certainly  come  and  de- 
stroy this  land,  and  shall  cause  to 
cease  from  thence  man  and  beast  % 

30  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  Je-hoi-a-kim  king  of  Ju-dah; 


707 


Zedekiah  sendeth  to  Jeremiah.  JEREMIAH, 


“He  shall  have  none  to  sit  upon 
the  throne  of  Da-vid : and  his  dead 
body  shall  be  *cast  out  in  the  day 
to  the  heat,  and  in  the  night  to  the 
frost. 

31  And  I will  ^punish  him  and  his 
seed  and  his  servants  for  their  in- 
iquity ; and  I will  bring  upon  them, 
and  upon  the  inhabitants  of  J e-ru- 
sa-lem,  and  upon  the  men  of  Ju-dah, 
all  the  evil  that  I have  pronounced 
against  them ; but  they  hearkened 
not. 

32  H Then  took  Jer-6-mi^ah  another 
roll,  and  gave  it  to  Ba-rueh  the 
scribe,  the  son  of  He-ri-ah;  who 
wrote  therein  from  the  mouth  of 
Jer-6-mi-ah  all  the  words  of  the 
book  which  Je-hoi-a-kim  king  of 
Ju-dah  had  burned  in  the  fire  : and 
there  were  added  besides  unto  them 
many  ® like  words. 

CHAPTER  37. 

1 The  Egyptians  having  raised  the  siege  of  the  Chaldeans, 

king  Zedekiah  sendeth  to  Jeremiah  to  pray  for  the  people. 

6 Jeremiah  prophesieth  the  Chaldeans'  certain  return 

and  victory.  11  Be  is  taken  for  a fugitive,  beaten,  and 

put  in  prison.  16  Be  assureth  Zedekiah  of  the  captivity. 

18  Intreating  for  his  liberty,  he  obtaineth  some  favour. 

AND  king  *Zed-6-kI-ah  the  son 
ijL  of  Jo-si-ah  reigned  instead  of 
■CO-m-ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi-a-kim, 
whom  Neb-u-ehad-rez-zar  king  of 
Bab-y-lbn  made  king  in  the  land 
of  Ju-dah. 

2 ^But  neither  he,  nor  his  serv- 
ants, nor  the  people  of  the  land, 
did  hearken  unto  the  words  of  the 
Lord,  which  he  spake  ®by  the  pro- 
phet Jer-e-mi-ah, 

3 And  Z6d-e-kl-ah  the  king  sent 
Je-hu^al  the  son  of  Shgl-6-mT-ah 
and  * Zeph-a-nl-ah  the  son  of  Ma-a- 
se-iah  the  priest  to  the  prophet  Jer- 
6-mI-ah,  saying.  Pray  now  unto  the 
Lord  our  God  for  us. 

4 Now  Jer-e-mi-ah  came  in  and 
went  out  among  the  people : for 
they  had  not  put  him  into  prison. 

5 Then  ^Pha-raoh’s  army  was  come 
forth  out  of  E-gypt:  ^_and  when  the 
■Ghal-de-ans  that  besieged  Je-ru-sa- 
lem  heard  tidings  of  them,  they 
departed  from  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

6 H Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  the  prophet  Jer-6-mi-ah, 
saying, 

7 Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Is^ra-el ; Thus  shall  ye  say  to 
the  king  of  Ju-dah,  that  sent  you 
unto  me  to  enquire  of  me  ; Behold, 
Pha-raoh’s  army,  which  is  come 
forth  to  help  you,  shall  return  to 
E-gypt  into  their  own  land. 

8 And  the  -Ghal-de-ans  shall  come 
again,  and  fight  against  this  city, 
and  take  it,  and  burn  it  with  fire. 

9 Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; Deceive 


37.  Jeremiah  is  imprisoned 

not  ^ yourselves,  saying.  The  -Ghal- 
de-ans  shall  surely  depart  from  us  : 
for  they  shall  not  depart. 

10  ® For  though  ye  had  smitten  the 
whole  army  of  the  Ghal-de-ans  that 
fight  against  you,  and  there  remain- 
ed but  ^wounded  men  among  them, 
yet  should  they  rise  up  every  man  in 
his  tent,  and  burn  this  city  with  fire. 

HU  ‘^And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  the  army  of  the  Ghal-de-ans 
was  ^broken  up  from  JAru-sAlem 
for  fear  of  Pha-raoh’s  army, 

12  Then  Jer-e-mi-ah  went  forth 
out  of  Je-ru-sa-lem  to  go  into  the 
land  of  Ben-ja-min,  ®to  separate 
himself  thence  in  the  midst  of  the 
people. 

13  And  when  he  was  in  the  gate 
of  Ben-ja-min,  a captain  of  the  ward 
was  there,  whose  name  was  I-ri-jah, 
the  son  of  Shel-6-mi-ah,  the  son  of 
Han-a-ni-ah  ; and  he  took  Jer-g-mi- 
ah  the  prophet,  saying.  Thou  fullest 
away  to  the  Ghal-de-ans._ 

14  Then  said  Jer-e-mi-ah,  It  is 

false  ; I fall  not  away  to  the  Ghal- 

de-ans.  But  he  hearkened  not  to 
him:  so  I-ri-jah  took  J6r-6-mi-ali, 
and  brought  him  to  the  princes. 

15  Wherefore  the  princes  were 
wroth  with  Jer-6-mi-ah,  and  smote 
him,  -^and  put  him  in  prison  in  the 
house  of  J 5n-a-than  the  scribe  ; for 
they  had  made  that  the  prison. 

16  When  Jer-6-mi-ah  was  en- 
tered int9  *the  dungeon,  and  into 
the  ® cabins,  and  Jer-e-mi-ah  had 
remained  there  many  days ; 

17  Then  Zed-e-ki-ah  the  king  sent, 
and  took  him  out:  and  the  king 
asked  him  secretly  in  his  house, 
and  said,  Is  there  any  word  from 
the  Lord'?  And  Jer-e-mi-ah  said. 
There  is : for,  said  he,  thou  shalt 
be  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Bab-y-]6n. 

18  Moreover  J6r-e-mi-ah  said  unto 
king  Zed-e^ki-ah,  What  have  I of- 
fended against  thee,  or  against  thy 
servants,  or  against  this  people,  that 
ye  have  put  me  in  prison  1 

19  Where  are  now  your  prophets 
which  prophesied  unto  you,  saying. 
The  king  of  Bab-y-l6n  shall  not  come 
against  you,  nor  against  this  land! 

20  Therefore  hear  now,  I pray  thee, 
O my  lord  the  king:  det  my  supplica- 
tion, I pray  thee,  be  accepted  before 
thee ; tliat  thou  cause  me  not  to  re- 
turn to  the  house  of  Jbn-a-than  the 
scribe,  lest  I die  there. 

21  Then  Zed-e-ki-ah  the  king  com- 
manded that  they  should  commit 
J6r-e-mi-ah  ‘’into  the  court  of  the 

rison,  and  that  they  should  give

CHAPTER  38. 

1 Jeremiah  is  put  into  the  dungeon  of  Malchiah.  7 Ebed- 
melech  getteth  him  some  enlargement.  14  Ee  coumelleth 
the  king  by  yielding  to  save  his  life.  24  By  the  king’s  in- 
structions he  concealeth  the  conference  from  the  princes. 

Then  Sheph-a-tl-ah  the  son  of 
Mat-tan,  and  G6d-a-h-ah  the  son 
of  Pash-ur,  and  ^Ju^al  the  son  of 
Shel-6-mi-ah,  and  ‘'Pash-ur  the  son 
of  Mal-ehi-ah,  ‘^heard  the  words  that 
j£r-S-mi-ah  had  spoken  unto  aU  the 
people,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  ® He  that 
remaineth  in  this  city  shall  die  by 
the  sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by 
the  pestilence : but  he  that  goeth 
forth  to  the  Chal-de-ans  shall  live ; 
for  he  shall  have  his  life  for  a prey, 
and  shall  live. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  ^This  city 
shall  surely  be  given  into  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n’s  army, 
which  shall  take  it. 

4  Therefore  the  princes  said  unto 
the  king.  We  beseech  thee,  Tet  this 
man  be  put  to  death : for  thus  he 
weakeneth  the  hands  of  the  men 
of  war  that  remain  in  this  city, 
and  the  hands  of  all  the  people,  in 
speaking  such  words  unto  them : 
for  this  man  seeketh  not  the  ^wel- 
fare of  this  people,  but  the  hurt. 

5  Then  Zed-e-ki-ah  the  king  said, 
Behold,  he  is  in  your  hand : for  the 
king  is  not  he  that  can  do  any  thing 
against  you. 

6  ^Then  took  they  Jer-e-mi-ah,  and 
cast  him  into  the  dungeon  of  Mal- 
ehi-ah  the  son  ^of  Ham-me-lech, 
that  was  in  the  court  of  the  prison : 
and  they  let  down  Jer-e-mi-ah  with 
cords.  And  in  the  dungeon  there 
was  no  water,  but  mire : so  J er-e- 
mi-ah  sunk  in  the  mire. 

7  II  "Now  when  E-bed-medeeh  the 
E-thi-o-pi-an,_  one  of  the  eunuchs 
which  was  in  the  king’s  house, 
heard  that  they  had  put  Jer-6-mi-ah 
in  the  dungeon ; the  king  then  sit- 
ting in  the  gate  of  Ben-ja-min ; 

8  E-bed-medgch  went  forth  out  of 
the  king’s  house,  and  spake  to  the 
king  saving, 

9  My  lord  the  king,  these  men 
have  done  evil  in  all  that  they 
have  done  to  J6r-6-mi-ah  the  pro- 
phet, whom  they  have  cast  into 
the  dungeon  ; and  °he  is  like  to  die 
for  hunger  in  the  place  where  he 
is : for  there  is  no  more  bread  in 
the  city. 

10  Then  the  king  commanded  E- 
b6d-med6ch  the  E-thi-o-pi-an,  say-

ing.  Take  from  hence  thirty  men 
^with  thee,  and  take  up  Jer-e-mi-ah 
the  prophet  out  of  the  dungeon, 
before  he  die. 

1 1 So  E-bed-medech  took  the  men 
with  him,  and  went  into  the  house 
of  the  king  under  the  treasury,  and 
took  thence  old  cast  clouts  and  old 
rotten  rags,  and  let  them  down  by 
cords  into  the  dungeon  to  Jer-e- 
mi-ah. 

12  And  E-b6d-medeeh  the  E-thi- 
o-pi-an  said  unto  Jer-e-mi-ah,  Put 
now  these  old  cast  clouts  and  rotten 
rags  under  thine  armholes  under 
the  cords.  And  Jer-e-mi-ah  did  so. 

13  -^So  they  drew  up  Jer-e-mi-ah 
with  cords,  and  took  him  up  out  of 
the  dungeon : and  Jer-e-mi-ah  re- 
mained ^in  the  court  of  the  prison. 

14  H Then  Zed-e-ki-ah  the  king 
sent,  and  took  Jgr-e-mi-ah  the  pro- 
phet unto  him  into  the  ^ third  entry 
that  is  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  : 
and  the  king  said  unto  Jer-e-mi-ah, 
I will  ask  thee  a thing ; hide  nothing 
from  me. 

15  Then  Jer-e-mi-ah  said  unto  Zed- 
e-ki-ah,  If  I declare  it  unto  thee,  wilt 
thou  not  surely  put  me  to  death'? 
and  if  I give  thee  counsel,  wilt  thou 
not  hearken  unto  me '? 

16  So  Zed-e-ki-ah  the  king  sware 
secretly  unto  Jer-e-mi-ah,  saying. 
As  the  Lord  liyeth,  *that  made  us 
this  soul,  I will  not  put  thee  to 
death,  neither  will  I give  thee  into 
the  hand  of  these  men  that  seek 
thy  life. 

1 7 Then  said  J er-6-mi-ah  unto  Zed- 
e-ki-ah,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  hosts,  the  God  of  ls-r4-el ; If 
thou  wilt  assuredly  ”"go  forth  ’"unto 
the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n’s  princes,  then 
thy  soul  shall  live,  and  this  city  shall 
not  be  burned  with  fire ; and  thou 
shalt  live,  and  thine  house ; 

18  But  if  thou  wilt  not  go  forth 
to  the  king  of  Bab-y-lon’s  princes, 
then  shall  this  city  be  given  into 
the  hand  of  the  -Ghal-de-ans,  and 
they  shall  burn  it  with  fire,  and 
^thou  shalt  not  escape  out  of  their 
hand. 

19  And  Zed-6-ki-ah  the  king  said 
unto  J 6r-6-mi-ah,  I am  afraid  of  the 
Je'ws  that  are  fallen  to  the  -Ghal- 
de-ans,  lest  they  deliver  me  into 
their  hand,  and  they  ®mock  me. 

20  But  Jer-6-mi-ah  said.  They  shall 
not  deliver  thee.  Obey,  I beseech 
thee,  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  which 
1 speak  unto  thee : so  it  shall  be  well 
unto  thee,  and  thy  soul  shall  live. 

21  But  if  thou  refuse  to  go  forth, 
this  is  the  word  that  the  Lord  hath 
shewed  me : 


T 09 


Jerusalem,  is  taken. 


JEREMIAH,  39. 


22  And,  behold,  all  the  women  that 
are  left  in  the  king  of  Ju-dah’s  house 
shall  he  brought  forth  to  the  king 
of  Bab-y-l5n’s  princes,  and  those 
women  shall  say,  ^Thy  friends  have 
set  thee  on,  and  have  prevailed 
against  thee : thy  feet  are  sunk  in 
the  mire,  and  they  are  turned  away 
back. 

23  So  they  shall  bring  out  all  thy 
wives  and  *thy  children  to  the  -Ghal- 
de-ans:  and  “thou  shalt  not  escape 
out  of  their  hand,  but  shalt  be  taken 
by  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Bab-y- 
lon:  and  ^thou  shalt  cause  this  city 
to  be  burned  with  fire. 

24  IT  Then  said  Zed-6-ki-ah  unto 
Jer-e-mi-ah,  Let  no  man  know  of 
these  words,  and  thou  shalt  not  die. 

25  But  if  the  princes  hear  that  I 
have  talked  with  thee,  and  they 
come  unto  thee,  and  say  unto  thee. 
Declare  unto  us  now  what  thou 
hast  said  unto  the  king,  hide  it  not 
from  us,  and  we  will  not  put  thee 
to  death ; also  what  the  king  said 
unto  thee: 

26  Then  thou  shalt  say  unto  them, 
presented  my  supplication  before 

the  king,  that  he  would  not  cause 
me  to  return  *to  J6n-a-than’s  house, 
to  die  there. 

27  Then  came  all  the  princes  unto 
Jer-e-ml-ah,  and  asked  him:  and 
he  told  them  according  to  all  these 
words  that  the  king  had  com- 
manded. So  '^they  left  off  speak- 
ing with  him ; for  the  matter  was 
not  perceived. 

28  So  *Jer-6-mi-ah  abode  in  the 
court  of  the  prison  until  the  day 
that  JAru-sa-lem  was  taken : and 
he  was  there  when  J e-ru-sa-lem  was 
taken. 

CHAPTER  39.

city  destroyed,  9 the  people  taken  captive.  11  Nebuchad-

promise  to  Ebed-melech. 

IN  the  * ninth  year  of  Zed-e-kl-ah 
king  of  Ju-dah,  in  the  tenth 
month,  came  Neb-u-chad-rez-zar 
king  of  Bab-y-l5n  and  all  his  army 
against  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  they  be- 
sieged it. 

2  And  in  the  eleventh  year  of 
Z6d-e-ki-ah,  in  the  fourth  month, 
the  ninth  day  of  the  month,  the 
city  was  broken  up. 

3  ^And  all  the  princes  of  the  king 
of  Bab-y-l5n  came  in,  and  sat  in 
the  middle  gate,  even  Ner%al-sha-

Zed-e-ki-ah  the  king  of  Juklah  saw 

them,  and  all  the  men  of  war,  then 
they  fled,  and  went  forth  out  of  the 
city  by  night,  by  the  way  of  the 
king’s  garden,  by  the  gate  betwixt 
the  two  walls : and  he  went  out  the 
way  of  the  plain. 

5 But  the  Chal-de-ans’  army  pur- 
sued after  them,  and  "overtook  Zed- 
e-ki-ah  in  the  plains  of  Jer-i-cho: 
and  when  they  had  taken  him,  they 
brought  him  up  to  Neb-u-ehad-nez- 
zar  king  of  Bab-y-l6n  to  ‘^Ribdah 
in  the  land  of  Ha-math,  where  he 
^gave  judgment  upon  him. 

6 Then  the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n  slew 
the  sons  of  Zed-6-ki-ah  in  Rib^lah 
before  his  eyes : also  the  king  ot 
Bab-y-l5n  slew  all  the  nobles  oi 
Ju-dah. 

7 Moreover  “he  put  out  Zed-e-ki- 
ah’s  eyes,  and  bound  him  ^with 
chains,  to  carry  him  to  Bab-y-l5n. 

8 IT  ■''And  the  Chal-de-ans  burned 
the  king’s  house,  and  the  houses 
of  the  people,  with  fire,  and  brake 
down  the  walls  of  JAru-sa-lem. 

9/ Then  Neb-u-zar-a-dan  the  cap- 
tain of  the  guard  carried  away  cap- 
tive into  Bab-y-l5n  the  remnant  of 
the  people  that  remained  in  the  city, 
and  those  that  fell  away,  that  fell 
to  him,  with  the  rest  of  the  people 
that  remained._ 

10  But  Neb-u-zar-a-dan  the  cap- 
tain of  the  guard  left  of  the  poor  of 
the  people,  which  had  nothing,  in 
the  land  of  Ju-dah,  and  gave  them 
vineyards  and  fields  ®at  the  same 
time. 

11  IT  NowNeb-u-chad-r6z-zar  king 
of  Bab-y-l5n  gave  charge  concern- 
ing Jer-e-mi-ah  ®to  Neb-u-zar^a-dan 
the  captain  of  the  guard,  sayingj 

1 2 Take  him,  and  4ook  well  to  him, 
and  do  him  no  harm ; but  do  unto 
him  even  as  he  shall  say  unto  thee. 

13  So  Neb-u-zar-a-dan  the  captain 
of  the  guard  sent,  and  N6b-u-shas' 
ban,  Rab'-sa-ris,  and  Ner-gal-sha- 
re-zer,  Rab'-mag,  and  all  the  king 
of  Bab-y-l5n’s  princes ; 

14  Even  they  sent,  ""and  took  Jer-6' 
mi-ah  out  of  the  court  of  the  prison, 
and  committed  him  "unto  G6d-a- 
li-ah  the  son  of  ®A-hi-kam  the  son 
of  Sha-phan,  that  he  should  carry 
him  home : so  he  dwelt  among  the 
people. 

15  ^ Now  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  Jer-e-mi-ah,  while  he  was 
shut  up  in  the  court  of  the  prison, 
saying, 

1 6 Go  and  speak  to E-bed-meT6ch 
the  E-thi-o-pi-an,  saying.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is-ra- 
el ; Behold,  *I  will  bring  my  words

upon  this  city  for  evil,  and  not  for

17  But  I will  deliver  thee  in  that 
day,  saith  the  Lord  ; and  thou  shalt 
not  be  given  into  the  hand  of  the 
men  of  whom  thou  art  afraid. 

18  For  I will  surely  deliver  thee, 
and  thou  shalt  not  fall  by  the  sword, 
but  Hhy  life  shall  be  for  a prey 
unto  thee  : because  thou  hast  put 
thy  trust  in  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  40. 

1 Jeremiah,  being  set  free,  goeth  to  Qedaliah.  7 The  dis- 
persed Jews  repair  u/nto  him.  13  Johanan  revealing 
Ishmael's  conspiracy  is  not  believed. 

The  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi- 
ah  from  the  Lord,  ® after  that 
N6b-u-zar-a-dan  the  captain  of  the 
guard  had  let  him  go  from  Ra-mah, 
when  he  had  taken  him  being  bound 
in  ^chains  among  all  that  were 
carried  away  captive  of  Je-ru-sa-lem 
and  Ju-dah,  which  were  carried 
away  captive  unto  Bab-y-l5n. 

2  And  the  captain  of  the  guard  took 
Jer-e-mi-ah,  and-^said  unto  him.  The 
Lord  thy  God  hath  pronounced  this 
evil  upon  this  place. 

3  Now  the  Lord  hath  brought  it 
and  done  according  as  he  hath  said : 

S' because  ye  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord,  and  have  not  obeyed  his 
voice,  therefore  this  thing  is  come 
upon  you. 

4  And  now,  behold,  I loose  thee 
this  day  from  the  chains  ^ which 
'^were  upon  thine  hand.  '"If  it  seem 
good  unto  thee  to  come  with  me 
into  Bab-y-l5n,  come ; and  H will 
look  well  unto  thee : but  if  it  seem 
ill  unto  thee  to  come  with  me  into 
Bab-y-lOn,  forbear:  behold,  * all  the 
land  is  before  thee : whither  it 
seemeth  good  and  convenient  for 
thee  to  go,  thither  go. 

5  Now  while  he  was  not  yet  gone 
back,  he  said.  Go  back  also  to  G6d- 
a-li-ah  the  son  of  A-hi-kam  the  son 
of  Sha'phan,  *whom  the  king  of 
Bab-y-lOn  hath  made  governor  oyer 
the  cities  of  Ju-dah,  and  dwell  with 
him  among  the  people : or  go  where- 
soever it  seemeth  convenient  unto 
thee  to  go.  So  the  captain  of  the 
guard  gave  him  victuals  and  a re- 
ward, and  let  him  go. 

6  "‘Then  went  J6r-6-mi-ah  unto 
G6d-a-li-ah  the  son  of  A-hi-kam  to 
" Miz-pah ; and  dwelt  with  him 
among  the  people  that  were  left 
in  the  land. 

7  ^ “Now  when  all  the  captains  of 
the  forces  which  were  in  the  fields, 
even  they  and  their  men,  heard  that 
the  king  of  Bab-y-lOn  had  made

land,  of  them  that  were  not  carried 
away  captive  to  Bab-y-l5n  ; 

8 Then  they  came  to  Ged-a-li-ah 
to  Miz-pah,  *even  Ish-ma-el  the  son 
of  Neth-a-ni-ah,  and  J6-ha-nan  and 
J5n-a-than  the  sons  of  Ka-re-ah,  and 
Se-ra-iah  the  son  of  Tan-hu-m6th, 
and  the  sons  of  E-phai  the  Ne-t5ph- 
a-thite,  and  Jez-a-ni-ah  the  son  of  a 
Ma-aeh-a-thite,  they  and  their  men. 

9 And  Ged-a-li-ah  the  son  of  A-hi- 
kam  the  son  of  Sha-phan  sware  un- 
to them  and  to  their  men,  saying. 
Fear  not  ^to  serve  the  -Ghal-de-ans : 
dwell  in  the  land,  and  serve  the 
king  of  Bah-y-l5n,  and  it  shall  be 
well  with  you. 

10  As  for  me,  behold,  I will  dwell 

at  Miz-pah,  to  serve  the  -Ghal-de-ans, 
which  will  come  unto  us : but  ye, 
gather  ye  wine,  and  summer  fruits, 
and  oil,  and  put  them  in  your  ves- 
sels, and  dwell  in  your  cities  that 
ye  have  taken.  _ 

11  Likewise  when  all  the  Jews 
that  were  in  Mo-ab,  and  among 
the  Am-m5n-ites,  and  in  E-dOm, 
and  that  were  in  all  the  countries, 
heard  that  the  king  of  _Bab-y-l5n 
had  left  a remnant  of  Ju-dah,  and 
that  he  had  set  over  them  Ged-a- 
li-ah  the  son  of  A-hi-kam  the  son 
of  Sha-phan;  _ 

12  Even  all  the  Jews  returned  out 
of  all  places  whither  they  were 
driven,  and  came  to  the  land  of 
J u-dah,  to  Ged-a-lFah,  unto  Miz-pah, 
and  gathered  wine  and  summer 
fruits  very  much. 

13  H Moreover  J6-ha-nan  the  son 
of  Ka-re-ah,  and  all  the  captains  of 
the  forces  iYiSit  were  in  the  fields, 
came  to  Ged-a-li-ah  to  Miz-pah. 

14  And  said  unto  him.  Dost  thou 
certainly  know  that  *Ba-a-lis  the 
king  of  the  Am-mOn-ites  hath  sent 
Ish-ma-gl  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni-ah 
/^to  slay  theel  But  G6d-a-li-ah  the 
son  of  A-hi-kam  believed  them  not. 

15  Then  J6-ha-nan  the  son  of  Ka- 
re-ah  spake  to  Ged-a-li-ah  in  Miz- 
pah  secretly,  saving.  Let  me  go,  I 
pray  thee,  and  I will  slay  Ish-ma-gl 
the  son  of  N6th-a-ni-ah,  and  no  man 
shall  know  it : wherefore ^hould  he 
slay  thee,  that  all  the  Jews  which 
are  gathered  unto  thee  should  be 
scattered,  and  the  remnant  in  Ju- 
dah perish  1 

16  But  Ged-a-h-ah  the  son  of  A-hi- 
kam  said  unto  J6-ha-nan  the  son 
of  Ka-re-ah,  Thou  shalt  not  do  this 
thing : for  thou  speakest  falsely  of 
Ish-ma-6l.

JEREMIAH,  41,  42.  hilleth  Gedaliah, 


CHAPTER  41. 

1 Ishmael,  treacherously  killing  Gedaliah  aivd  others,  pur- 

poseth  with  the  residue  to  flee  unto  the  Ammonites.  11 

Johanan  recovereth  the  captives. 

lyr OW  it  came  to  pass  in  the  seventh 
i.1  month,  Ish-md-el  the  son 
of  Nefch-a-ni-ah  the  son  of  E-lish-a- 
ma,  of  the  seed  royal,  and  the  princes 
of  the  king,  even  ten  men  with  him, 
came  unto  Ged-a-li-ah  the  son  of 
A-hi-kam  toMiz-pah ; and  there  they 
did  eat  bread  together  in  Miz-pah. 

2 Then  arose  Ish-ma-el  the  son  of 
Neth-a-ni-ah,  and  the  ten  men  that 
were  with  him,  and  smote  Ged-a- 
li-ah  the  son  of  A-hi-kam  the  son  of 
Sha-phan  with  the  sword,  and  slew 
him,  whom  the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n 
had  made  governor  over  the  land. 

3 Ish-ma-el  also  slew  all  the  Jews 
that  were  with  him,  even  with 
Ged-a-h-ah,  at  Miz-pah,  and  the 
€lhal-de-ans  that  were  found  there, 
and  the  men  of  war. 

4 And  it  came  to  pass  the  second 
day  after  he  had  slain  Ged-a-li-ah, 
and  no  man  knew  it, 

5 That  there  came  certain  from 
She-chem,  from  Shidoh,  and  from 
Sa-ma-ri-a,  even  fourscore  men, -^hav- 
ing their  beards  shaven,  and  their 
clothes  rent,  and  having  cut  them- 
selves, with  offerings  and  incense 
in  their  hand,  to  bring  them  to  ^the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

6 And  Ish-ma-6l  the  son  of  Neth-a- 
ni-ah  went  forth  from  Miz-pah  to 
meet  them,  \weeping  all  along  as  he 
went:  and  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
met  them,  he  said  unto  them.  Come 
to  Ged-adi-ah  the  son  of  A-hi-kam. 

^ 7 And  it  was  so,  when  they  came 
into  the  midst  of  the  city,  that  Ish- 
ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni-ah  slew 
them,  and  cast  them  into  the  midst 
of  the  pit,  he,  and  the  men  that 
were  with  him. 

8 But  ten  men  were  found  among 
them  that  said  unto  Ish-ma-6l,  Slay 
us  not:  for  we  have  treasures  in 
the  field,  of  wheat,  and  of  barley, 
and  of  oil,  and  or  honey.  So  he 
forbare,  and  slew  them  not  among 
their  brethren. 

9 Now  the  pit  wherein  Ish-ma-el 
had  cast  all  the  dead  bodies  of  the 
men,  whom  he  had  slain  ^^because 
of  Ged-a-li-ah,  was  it  * which  A-sa 
the  king  had  made  for  fear  of  Ba- 
a-sha  king  of  Is-ra-el : and  Ish-ma-el 
the  son  of  N6th-a-ni-ab  filled  it  with 
them  that  were  slain. 

10  Then  Ish-ma-el  carried  away 
captive  all  the  residue  of  the  people 
thsitwerein  Miz-pah,  ‘^even  the  king’s 
daughters,  and  all  the  people  that 
remained  in  Miz-pah,  ”whom  Neb-

u-zar-a-dan  the  captain  of  the  guard 
had  cominitted  to  G6d-a-li-ah  the 
son  of  A-hi-kam : and  Ish-ma-6l  the 
son  of  N6th-a-m-ah  carried  them 
away  captive,  and  departed  to  go 
over  to  *the  Am-mCn-ites. 

HU  But  when  J 6-ha-nan  the  son 
of  Ka-re-ah,  and  all  ‘’the  captains 
of  the  forces  that  were  with  him, 
heard  of  all  the  evil  that  Isb-ma-el 
the  son  of  Neth-a-ni-ah  had  done, 

12  Then  they  took  all  the  men, 
and  went  to  fight  with  Ish-ma-el 
the  son  of  Neth-a-ni-ah,  and  found 
hirn  by  Hhe  great  waters  that  are 
in  Gib-e-6n. 

1 3 Now  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
all  the  people  which  were  with  Ish- 
ma-el  saw  J6-ha-nan  the  son  of  Ka- 
re-ah,  and  all  the  captains  of  the 
forces  that  were  with  him,  then 
they  were  glad. 

14  So  all  the  people  that  Ish-ma-el 
had  carried  away  captive  from  Miz- 
pah  cast  about  and  returned,  and 
went  unto  J6-ha-nan  the  son  of 
Ka-re-ah. 

15  But  Ish-ma-el  the  son  of  Ngth- 
ami-ah  escaped  from  J 6-ha-nan  with 
eight  men,  and  went  to  the  Am- 
m5n-ites. 

16  Then  took  J6-ha-nan  the  son 
of  Ka-re-ah,  and  all  the  captains  of 
the  forces  that  were  with  him,  all 
the  remnant  of  the  people  whom 
he  had  recovered  from  Ish-ma-el 
the  son  of  Neth-a-ni-ah,  from  Miz- 
pah,  after  that  he  had  slain  Ged- 
a-h-ah  the  son  of  A-hi-kam,  even 
mighty  men  of  war,  and  the  wo- 
men, and  the  children,  and  the 
eunuchs,  whom  he  had  brought 
again  from  Gib-e-5n: 

^ 17  And  they  departed,  and  dwelt 
in  the  ^ habitation  of  ^-Ghim-ham, 
which  is  by  Beth'-le-hem,  to  go  to 
enter  into  E-gypt, 

18  Because  of  the  -Ghal-de-an? : for 
they  were  afraid  of  them,  because 
Ish-ma-el  the  son  of  N6th-a-ni-ab 
had  slain  Ged-a-li-ah  the  son  of 
A-hi-kam,  *whom  the  king  of  Bab- 
y-l6n  made  governor  in  the  land.

1 Johanan  desireth  Jeremiah  to  enquire  of  God,  promis- 
ing obedience  to  his  will.  7 Jeremiah  assureth  him  oj 
safety  in  Judea,  13  and  destruction  in  Egypt.  19  He 
reproveth  their  hypocrisy. 

Then  all  the  captains  of  the 
forces,  ^and  J6-ha-nan  the  son 
of  Ka-re-ah,  and  J Sz-a-ni-ah  the  son 
of  Ho-shadah,  and  all  the  people 
from  the  least  even  unto  the  great- 
est, came  near,

and  “pray  for  us  unto  the  Lord  thy 

God,  even  for  all  this  renmant ; (for 
we  are  left  but  few  of  many,  as 
thine  eyes  do  behold  us :) 

3 That  the  Lord  thy  God  may  shew 
us  -^the  way  wherein  we  may  walk, 
and  the  thing  that  we  may  do. 

4 Then  J6r-e-mi-ah  the  prophet 
said  unto  them,  I have  heard 
behold,  I will  pray  unto  the  Lord 
your  God  according  to  your  words ; 
and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
^whatsoever  thing  the  Lord  shall 
answer  you,  I will  declare  it  unto 
you;  I will  *keep  nothing  back 
from  you. 

5 Then  they  said  to  Jer-e-mi-ah, 
^The  Lord  be  a true  and  faithful 
witness  between  us,  if  we  do  not 
even  according  to  all  things  for  the 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  send 
thee  to  us. 

6 Whether  it  be^  good,  or  whether 
it  be  evil,  we  will  obey  the  voice 
of  the  Lord  our  God,  to  whom  we 
send  thee ; that  it  may  be  well 
with  us,  when  we  obey  the  voice 
of  the  Lord  our  God. 

7 II  And  it  came  to  pass  after  ten 
days,  that  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  Jer-e-mTah_. 

8 Then  called  he  J6-ha-nan  the  son 
of  Ka-re-ah,  and  all  the  captains 
of  the  forces  which  were  with  him, 
and  all  the  people  from  the  least 
even  to  the  greatest, 

9 And  said  unto  them,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is-ra-el,  unto 
whom  ye  sent  me  to  present  your 
supplications  before  him ; 

10  If  ye  will  still  abide  in  this 
land,  then  ^will  I build  you,  and 
not  pull  you  down,  and  I will  plant 
you,  and  not  pluck  you  up  : for  I 
* repent  me  of  the  evil  that  I have 
done  unto  you. 

1 1 Be  not  afraid  of  the  king  of 
Bab-y-l5n,  of  whom  ye  are  afraid ; 
be  not  afraid  of  him,  saith  the  Lord: 
“for  1 am  with  you  to  save  you,  and 
to  deliver  you  from  his  hand. 

12  And  will  shew  mercies  unto 
you,  that  he  may  have  mercy  upon 
you,  and  cause  you  to  return  to  your 
own  land. 

13  ^ But  if  ^ye  say,  We  will  not 
dwell  in  this  land,  neither  obey  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  your  God, 

14  Saying,  No  ; but  we  will  go 
into  the  land  of  E-gypt,  where  we 
shall  see  no  war,  nor  hear  the  sound 
of  the  trumpet,  nor  have  hunger  of 
bread  ; and  there  will  we  dwell : 

15  And  now  therefore  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  ye  remnant  of 
Ju-dah  ; Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  ls-ra-6l ; If  ye

“"poured  forth  upon  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru-sa-lem ; so  shall  my  fury 
be  poured  forth  upon  you,  when 
ye  shall  enter  into  E-gypt : and  “ye 
shall  be  an  execration,  and  an 
astonishment,  and  a curse,  and 
a reproach ; and  ye  shall  see  this 
place  no  more.

ing you,  O ye  remnant  of  J u-dah ; 
^^(4o  ye  not  into  E-gypt : know  cer- 
tainly that  I have  ^admonished  you 
this  day.

hearts,  when  ye  sent  me  unto  the 
Lord  your  God,  saying,  ^Pray  for 
us  unto  the  Lord  our  God ; and 
according  unto  all  that  the  Lord 
our  God  shall  say,  so  declare  unto 
us,  and  we  will  do  it. 

21  And  now  I have  this  day  de- 
clared it  to  you  ; but  ye  have  not 
obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your 
God,  nor  any  thing  for  the  which 
he  hath  sent  me  unto  you. 

22  Now  therefore  know  certainly 
that  *ye  shall  die  by  the  sword,  by 
the  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence, 
in  the  place  whither  ye  desire  ®to 
go  and  to  sojourn.

setteth  thee  on  against  us,  for  to 
deliver  us  into  the  hand  of  the  -Ghal- 


CHAPTER  44. 

1 Jeremiah  expresseth  the  desolation  of  Judah.  11  He 
proj>hesieth  their  destruction,  who  commit  idolatry  in 
Egypt.  15  The  obstinacy  of  the  Jews.  20  Jeremiah 
threateneth  them  for  the  same. 


de-ans,  that  they  might  put  us  to 
death,  and  carry  us  away  captives 
into  Bab-y-lOn. 

4 So  J6-ha-nan  the  son  of  Ka-re-ah, 
and  all  the  captains  of  the  forces, 
and  all  the  people,  obeyed  not  the 
voice  of  the  Lord,  to  dwell  in  the 
land  of  Ju-dah. 

5 But  J6-ha-nan  the  son  of  Ka-re- 
ah,  and  all  the  captains  of  the  forces, 
took  ‘^all  the  remnant  of  Ju-dah, 
that  were  returned  from  all  nations, 
whither  they  had  been  driven,  to 
dwell  in  the  land  of  Ju-dah; 

^ Even  men,  and  women,  and 
children,  -^and  the  king’s  daughters, 
^and  every  person  that  Neb-u-zar- 
a-dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  had 
left  with  Ged-a-h-ah  tfo  son  of 
A-hi-kam  the  son  of  Sha-phan,  and 
Jer-e-mi-ah  the  prophet,  and  Ba- 
ruch the  son  of  Ne-ri-ah. 

_7  So  they  came  into  the  land  of 
E-gypt:  for  they  obeyed  not  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  : thus  came  they 
even  to  ^Tah-pan-hes. 

8 M Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi-ah  in  Tah-pan- 
hes,  saying, 

9 Take  great  stones  in  thine 
hand,  and  hide  them  in  the  clay 
in  the  brickkiln,  which  at  the 
entry  of  Pha-raoh’s  house  in  Tah- 
pan-hes,  in  the  sight  of  the  men  of 
Ju-dah ; 

10  And  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is- 
ra-el Behold,  I will  send  and  take 
Neb-u-chad-rez-zar  the  king  of  Bab- 
y-l5n,  “my  servant,  and  will  set  his 
throne  upon  these  stones  that  I have 
hid ,;  and  he  shall  spread  his  royal 
pavilion  over  them. 

1 1 ^ And  when  he  cometh,  he  shall 
smite  the  land  of  E-gypt,  and  de- 
liver ^such  as  are  for  death  to 
death  ; and  such  as  are  for  cap- 
tivity to  captivity ; and  such  as 
are  for  the  sword  to  the  Lword. 

12  And  I will  kindle  a fire  in  the 
houses  of  *the  gods  of  E-gypt ; and 
he  shall  burn  them,  and  carry  them 
away  captives : and  he  shall  array 
himself  with  the  land  of  E-gypt,  as 
a shepherd  putteth  on  his  garment ; 
and  he  shall  go  forth  from  thence 
in  peace. 

lo  He  shall  break  also  the  ^images 
of  ^Beth-she-m6sh,  that  is  in  the 
land  of  E-gypt ; and  the  houses  of 
the  gods  of  the  E-gyp-tian§  shall  he 
burn  with  fire.

“Prov.  28.  14. 


The  word  that  came  to  Jer-e- 
mi-ah  concerning  all  the  Jews 
which  dwell  in  the  land  of  E-gypt, 
which  dwell  at  “Mig-dCl,  and  at 
*Tah-pan-hes,  and  at  “NOph,  and  in 
the  country  of  Path-r5s,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is-ra-6l ; Ye  have  seen  all 
the  evil  that  I have  brought  upon 
J e-ru-sa-lem,  and  upon  all  the  cities 
of  Ju-dah;  and,  behold,  this  day 
they  are  “a  desolation,  and  no  man 
dwelleth  therein, 

3  Because  of  their  wickedness 
which  they  have  committed  to 
provoke  me  to  anger,  in  that  they 
went  '"to  burn  incense,  and  to 
‘serve  other  gods,  whom  they 
knew  not,  neither  they,  ye,  nor 
your  fathers. 

4  Howbeit  sent  unto  you  all  my 
servants  the  prophets,  rising  early 
and  sending  them,  saying,  Oh,  do 
not  this  abominable  thing  that  I 
hate. 

5  But  they  hearkened  not,  nor  in- 
clined their  ear  to  turn  from  their 
wickedness,  to  burn  no  incense  un- 
to other  gods. 

6  Wherefore  ”‘my  fury  and  mine 
anger  was  poured  forth,  and  was 
kindled  in  tne  cities  of  J u-dah  and 
in  the  streets  of  Je-ru-sa-lem ; and 
they  are  wasted  and  desolate,  as  at 
this  day. 

7  Therefore  now  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
IsYa-el ; Wherefore  commit  ye  this 
great  evil  “against  your  souls,  to 
cut  ofif  from  you  man  and  woman, 
child  and  suckling,  ^out  of  Ju-dah, 
to  leave  you  none  to  remain  ; 

8  In  that  ye  ^provoke  me  unto 
wrath  with  the  works  of  your 
hands,  burning  incense  unto  other 
gods  in  the  land  of  E-gypt,  whither 
ye  be  gone  to  dwell,  that  ye  might 
cut  yourselves  off,  and  that  ye 
might  be  *a  curse  and  a reproach 
among  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  1 
9 Have  ye  forgotten  the  ‘‘^wicked- 
ness of  your  fathers,  and  the 
wickedness  of  the  kings  of  Ju-dah, 
and  the  wickedness  or  their  wives, 
and  your  own  wickedness,  and  the 
wickedness  of  your  wives,  which 
they  have  committed  in  the  land

in  my  statutes,  that  I set  before 
you  and  before  your  fathers. 

1 1 U Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is-ra-el ; Behold, 

‘‘I  will  set  my  face  against  you  tor 
evil,  and  to  cut  off  all  J u-dah. 

12  And  I will  take  the  remnant  ot 
Ju-dah,  that  have  set  their  faces  to 
go  into  the  land  of  E-gypt  to  sojourn 
there,  and  Hhey  shall  all  be  con-  6 ch.^.i5- 
sumed,  and  fall  in  the  land  of 
E%ypt;  they  shall  even  be  con- 
sumed by  the  sword  and  by  the 
famine:  they  shall  die,  from  the 
least  even  unto  the  greatest,  by 
the  sword  and  by  the  famine : and 
Hhey  shall  be  an  execration,  avd 
an  astonishment,  and  a curse,  and 
a reproach. 

13  ^For  I will  punish  them  that 
dwell  in  the  land  of  E-gypt,  as  I 
have  punished  J e-ru-sa-l6m,  by  the 
sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by  the 
pestilence : 

14  So  that  none  of  the  remnant 

of  Ju-dahi  which  are  gone  into  the 
land  of  E-gypt  to  sojourn  there, 
shall  escape  or  remain,  that  they 
should  return  into  the  land  of 
Ju-dah,  to  the  which  they  %ave 
a desire  to  return  to  dwell  there: 
for  '‘none  shall  return  but  such  as 
shall  escapa  , . , , 

15  U Then  all  the  men  which  knew 
that  their  wives  had  burned  incense 
unto  other  gods,  and  all  the  women 
that  stood  by,  a great  multitude, 
even  all  the  people  that  dwelt  in 
the  land  of  E-gypt,  in  Path-r5s,  an- 
swered Jer-e-mi-ah,  saying, 

16  As  for  the  word  that  thou 
hast  spoken  unto  us  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  ' we  will  not  hearken 
unto  thee. 

17  But  we  will  certainly  do  what- 
soever thing  goeth  forth  out  of  our 
own  mouth,  to  burn  incense  unto 
the  " queen ^ of  heaven,  and  to  pour 
out  drink  offerings  unto  her,  as  we 
have  done,  we,  and  our  fathers,  our 
kings,  and  our  princes,  in  the  cities 
of  Ju-dah,  and  in  the  streets  of  J A 
ru-sa-l6m : for  then  had  we  plenty  of 
^victuals,  and  were  well,  and  saw 
no  evil. 

18  But  since  we  left  off  to  burn  in- 
cense to  the  queen  of  heaven,  and 
to  pour  out  drink  offerings  unto  her, 
we  have  wanted  all  things,  and  have 
been  consumed  by  the  sword  and 
by  the  famine. 

19  ^And  when  we  burned  incense 
to  the  queen  of  heaven,  and  poured 
out  drink  offerings  unto  her,  did  we 
make  her  cakes  to  worship  her,  and 
pour  out  drink  offerings  unto  her, 
without  our  ^men'?

all  the  people,  to  the  men,  and  to 
the  women,  and  to  all  the  peoplO’ 
which  had  given  him  that  answer, 
saying,  . . 

21  The  incense  that  ye  burned 
in  the  cities  of  Ju-dah,  and  m 
the  streets  of  Je-ru^a-lem,  ye,  and 
your  fathers,  your  kings,  and  your 
princes,  and  the  people  of  the  land, 
did  not  the  Lord  remember  them, 
and  came  it  not  into  his  mind  1 

22  So  that  the  Lord  could  no 
longer  bear,  because  of  the  evil  of 
your  doings,  and  because  of  the 
abominations  which  ye  have  com- 
mitted; therefore  is  your  land 
desolation,  and  an  astonishment, 
and  a curse,  without  an  inhabit- 
ant, •''as  at  this  day. 

23  Because  ye  have  burned  in- 
cense, and  because  ye  have  sinned 
against  the  Lord,  and  have  not 
obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  nor 
walked  in  his  law,  nor  in  his 
statutes,  nor  in  his  testimonies; 
^therefore  this  evd  is  happened 
unto  you,  as  at  this  day. 

24  Moreover  Jer-e-mi-ah  said  unto 
all  the  people,  and  to  all  the  wo^ 
men,  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
all  Ju-dah  Hhat  are  in  the  land  of 
B-gypt : 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is-ra-el,  saying;  ^Ye  and 
your  wives  have  both  spoken  with 
your  mouths,  and  fulfilled  with 
your  hand,  saying.  We  will  surely 
perform  our  vows  that  we  have 
vowed,  to  burn  incense  to  the 
queen  of  heaven,  and  to  pour  out 
drink  offerings^  unto  her : ye  will 
surely  accomplish  your  vows,  and 
surely  perform  your  vows. 

26  Therefore  hear  ye  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  all  Ju-dah  that  dwell  in 
the  land  of  E-gypt;  Behold,  H have 
sworn  by  my  great  name,  saith  the 
Lord,  that  ^my  name  shall  no  more 
be  named  in  the  mouth  of  any  man 
of  Ju-dah  in  all  the  land  of  E-gypt, 
saying.  The  Lord  God  liveth. 

27  ^Behold,  I will  watch  over  them 
for  evil,  and  not  for  good  : and  all 
the  men  of  Ju-dah  that  are  in  the 
land  of  E-gypt  ^ shall  be  consumed 
by  the  sword  and  by  the  famine, 
until  there  be  an  end  of  them. 

28  Yet  *a  small  number  that  es- 
cape the  sword  shall  return  out 
of  the  land  of  E-gypt  into  the  land 
of  Ju-dah,  and  all  the  remnant  of

of  E-gypt  to  sojourn  there,  shall

you,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I will 
punish  you  in  this  place,  that  ye 
may  know  that  my  words  shall 
* surely  stand  against  you  for  evil : 
30  Thus  saith  the_  Lord  ; Behold, 
will  give  Pha-raoh-h6ph-ra  king 
of  E-gypt  into  the  hand  of  his  ene- 
mies, and  into  the  hand  of  them 
that  seek  his  life ; as  I gave  ^Z&d-

of  Bab-y-lOn,  his  enemy,  and  that

3  Thou  didst  say.  Woe  is  me  now  ! 
for  the  Lord  hath  added  grief  to 
my  sorrow ; I fainted  in  my  sigh 
ing,  and  I find  no  rest. 

4  H Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  him. 
The  Lord  saith  thus ; Behold,  Hhat 
which  I have  built  will  I break 
down,  and  that  which  I have  plant- 
ed I will  pluck  up,  even  this  whole 
land. 

5  And  seekest  thou  great  things 
for  thyself  1 ^ seek  them  not : for 
behold,  5 1 will  bring  evil  upon  all 
flesh,  saith  the  Lord  : but  tny  life

hut  destruction  cometh ; it  cometh 
«out  of  the  north.  . 

21  Also  her  hired  men  are  in  the 
midst  of  her  like  Hatted  bullocks ; 
for  they  also  are  turned  back, 
are  fled  away  together : they  did

calamity  was  come  upon  them,  ana 
the  time  of  their  visitation. 

22  ^The  voice  thereof  shall  go  like

the  multitude  of  ^No,  and  Pha- 
raoh, and  E^gypt,  "with  their  gods 
and  their  kings ; even  Pha-raoh,  and

into  the  hand  of  his  servants : and 
y afterward  it  shall  be  inhabited,  as

Lord  hath  spoken. 

9 “Give  wings  unto  Mo-ab,  that  it 
may  flee  and  get  away : for  the  cities 
thereof  shall  be  desolate,  without 
any  to  dwell  therein. 

10  * Cursed  be  he  that  doeth  the

his  lees,  and  hath  not  been  emptied 
from  vessel  to  vessel,  neither  hath 
he  gone  into  captivity:  therefore

the  land  of  Mo-ab,  far  or  near. 

25  *The  horn  of  Mo-ab  is  cut  off, 
and  his  ‘=arm  is  broken,  saith  the 
Lord. 

26  H ‘^Make  ye  him  drunken : for 
he  magnified  himself  against  the 
Lord  : Mo-ab  also  shall  wallow  in 
his  vomit,  and  he  also  shall  be  in 
derision. 

27  For was  not  I s-ra-el  a derision 
unto  theel  ^was  he  found  among 
thieves'?  for  since  thou  spakest  of 
him,  thou  ^skippedst  for  joy. 

28  O 5^e  that  dwell  in  Mo-ab,  leave 
the  cities,  and  *dwell  in  the  rock, 
and  be  like  *the  dove  that  maketn 
her  nest  in  the  sides  of  the  hole’s 
mouth. 

29  We  have  heard  the  ^pride  of 
Mo-ab,  (he  is  exceeding  proud)  his 
loftiness,  and  his  arrogancy,  and 
his  pride,  and  the  haughtiness  of 
his  heart. 

30  I know  his  wrath,  saith  the 
Lord  ; but  it  shall  not  be  so ; "his^ 
lies  shall  not  so  effect  it. 

31  Therefore  «will  I howl  for  Mo- 
ab,  and  I will  cry  out  for  all  Mo-ab ; 
mine  heart  shall  mourn  for  the  men 
of  Kir-he-res. 

32  *0  vine  of  Sib-mah,  I will  weep 
for  thee  with  the  weeping  of  Ja-zer  ; 
thy  plants  are  gone  over  the  sea, 
they  reach  even  to  the  sea  of  Ja-zer : 
the  spoiler  is  fallen  upon  thy  sum- 
mer fruits  and  upon  thy  vintage. 

33  And  “joy  and  gladness  is  taken 
from  the  plentiful  field,  and  from 
the  land  of  Mo-ab ; and  I have 
caused  wine  to  fail  from  the  wine^ 
presses : none  shall  tread  with 
shouting;  their  shouting  shall  be 
no  shouting. 

34  “From  the  cry  of  Hesh-bbn 
even  unto  E-le-adeh,  and  even  unto 
Ja-haz,  have  they  uttered  their  voice, 
*from  Zo-ar  even  unto  Hbr-o-na^m, 
as  an  heifer  of  three  years  old : for 
the  waters  also  of  Nim-rim  shall  be 
^desolate. 

_ 35  Moreover  I will  cause  to  cease 
in  Mo-ab,  saith  the  Lord,  ®him  that 
offereth  in  the  high  places,  and  him 
that  burneth  incense  to  his  gods. 

36  Therefore  '"mine  heart  shall 
sound  for  Mo-ab  like  pipes,  and 
mine  heart  shall  sound  like  pipes 
for  the  men  of  Kir-he-res  : because 
*the  riches  that  he  hath  gotten  are 
perished. 

37  For  *every  head  shall  be  bald, 
and  every  beard  ^clipped  : upon  all 
the  hands  shall  be  cuttings,  and 
^upon  the  loins  sackcloth.

of  Mo-ab,  and  in  the  streets  there- 
of: for  1 have  broken  Mo-ab  like 
“a  vessel  wherein  is  no  pleasure, 
saith  the  Lord.  . 

39  They  shall  howl,  saying, 

is  it  broken  down  ! how  hath  Mo-ab 
turned  the  =^back  with  shame ! so 
shall  Mo-ab  be  a derision  and  a dis- 
maying to  all  them  about  him. 

40  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  ; Be- 
hold, ^he  shall  fly  as  an  eagle,  and 
shall  -^spread  his  wings  over  Mo-ab. 

41  ^Ke-ri-Oth  is  taken,  and  the 

strong  holds  are  surprised,  and^the 
mighty  men’s  hearts  in  Mo-ab  at 
that  day  shall  be  as  the  heart  of  a 
woman  in  her  pangs.  , , 

42  And  Mo-ab  shall  be  destroyed 

*from  being  a people,  because  he 
hath  magnified  himself  against  the 
Lord.  , . ^ 

43  ”Fear,  and  the  pit,  and  the 
snare,  shall  be  upon  thee,  O inhab- 
itant of  Mo-ab,  saith  the  Lord. 

44  He  that  fleeth  from  the  fear 
shall  fall  into  the  pit ; and  he  that 
getteth  up  out  of  the  pit  shall  be 
taken  in  the  snare : for  H will  bring 
upon  it,  even  upon  Mo-ab,  the  year 
of  their  visitation,  saith  the  Lord. 

45  They  that  fled  stood  under  the 

shadow  of  Hesh-b5n  because  of  the 
force : but  *a  fire  shall  come  forth 
out  of  H6sh-b5n,  and  a flame  from 
the  midst  of  Si-h5n,  and  “shall  de- 
vour the  corner  of  Mo-ab,  and  the 
crown  of  the  head  of  the  tumul- 
tuous ones.  ^ . 

46  ^Woe  be  unto  thee,  O Mo-ab ! 
the  people  of  ■Ghe-m5sh  perisheth : 
for  thy  sons  are  taken  /captives, 
and  thy  daughters  captives. 

47  H Yet  will  I bring  again  the 
captivity  of  Mo-ab  “in  the  latter 
days,  saith  the  Lord.  Thus  far  is 
the  judgment  of  Mo-ab.

5 Behold,  I will  bring  a fear  upon 
thee,  saith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts, 
from  all  those  that  be  about  thee ; 
and  ye  shall  be  driven  out  every 
man  right  forth ; and  none  shall 
gather  up  him  that  wandereth.  • 

6 And  '"afterward  I will  bring 
again  the  captivity  of  the  children 
of  Am-mOn,  saith  the  Lord. 

7 IT  * Concerning  E-dOm,  thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts ; Us  wisdom  no 
more  in  Te-man'?  “"is  counsel  per- 
ished from  the  prudent'?  is  their 
wisdom  vanisheci'? 

8 "Flee  ye,  ®turn  back,  dwell  deep, 

0 inhabitants  of  ^De-dan ; for  I will 
bring  the  calamity  of  E-sau  upon 
him,  the  time  that  I will  visit  him. 

9 If  '■grapegatherers  come  to  thee, 
would  they  not  leave  some  gleaning 
grapes'?  if  thieves  by  night,  they 
will  destroy  Hill  they  have  enough. 

10  ®But  I have  made  E-sau  bare,  I 
have  uncovered  his  secret  places,  and 
he  shall  not  be  able  to  hide  himself : 
his  seed  is  spoiled,  and  his  brethren, 
and  his  neighbours,  apd  *he  is  not. 

11  Leave  thy  fatherless  children, 

1 will  preserve  them  alive ; and  let 
thy  widows  trust  in  me. 

1 2 For  thus  saith  the  Lord  ; Be- 
hold, Hhey  whose  judgment  was 
not  to  drink  of  the  cup  have  assur- 
edly drunken  ; and  art  thou  he  that 
shall  altogether  go  unpunished'? 
thou  shalt  not  go  unpunished,  but 
thou  shalt  surely  drink  of  it. 

13  For  *I  have  sworn  by  myself, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  "BOzHah  shall 
become  a desolation,  a reproach,  a 
waste,  and  a curse ; and  all  the  cities 
thereof  shall  be  perpetual  wastes. 

14  I have  heard  a "rumour  from 
the  Lord,  and  an  ambassador  is  sent 
unto  the  heathen,  saying, ^ Gather 
ye  together,  and  come  against  her, 
and  rise  up  to  the  battle. 

15  For,  lo,  I will  make  thee  small 

among  the  heathen,  and  despised 
among  men.  , , , . i 

16  Thy  terribleness  hath  deceived 
thee,  and  the  pride  of  thine  heart, 
O thou  that  dwellest  in  the  clefts  of 
the  rock,  that  boldest  the  height  of 
the  hill:  '"though  thou  shouldest 
make  thy  *nest  as  high  as  the 
eagle,  *I  will  bring  thee  down  from 
thence,  saith  the  Lord.

tion: “every  one  that  goeth  by  it 
shall  be  astonished,  and  shall  hiss 
at  all  the  plagues  thereof. 

1 8 ‘'As  in  the  overthrow  of  S5d-5m 
and  Go-mCr-rah  and  the  neighbour 
cities  thereof,  saith  the  Lord,  no 
man  shall  abide  there,  neither  shall 
a son  of  man  dwell  in  it. 

19  * Behold,  he  shall  come  up  like 
a lion  from  -^the  swelling  of  Jdr-dan 
against  the  habitation  of  the  strong: 
but  I will  suddenly  make  him  run 
away  from  her : and  who  is  a chosen 
man,  that  I may  appoint  over  her  ? 
for  '^who  is  like  mel  and  who  will 
^appoint  me  the  time"?  and  *who  is 
that  shepherd  that  will  stand  be- 
fore meT 

20  Therefore  hear  the  counsel 
of  the  Lord,  that  he  hath  taken 
against  E-d5m ; and  his  purposes, 
that  he  hath  purposed  against  the 
inhabitants  of  Te-man  : Surely  the 
least  of  the  flock  shall  draw  them 
out:  surely  he  shall  make  their 
habitations  desolate  with  them. 

21  ^The  earth  is  moved  at  the  noise 
of  their  fall,  at  the  cry  the  noise 
thereof  was  heard  in  the  ®Red  sea. 

22  Behold,  ^he  shall  come  up  and 
fly  as  the  eagle,  and  spread  his 
v/ings  over  BOz-rah : and  at  that 
day  shall  the  heart  of  the  mighty 
men  of  E-d5m  be  as  the  heart  of  a 
woman  in  her  pangs. 

23  ^ ^Concerning  Da-mas-€us.  Ha- 
math is  confounded,  and  Ar-pad : 
for  they  have  heard  evil  tidings : 
they  are  ® fainthearted  ; * there  is

24  Da-mas-ciis  is  waxed  feeble, 
and  turneth  herself  to  flee,  and 
fear  hath  seized  on  her:  anguish 
and  sorrows  have  taken  her,  as  a 
woman  in  travail. 

25  How  is  Hhe  city  of  praise  not

26  “Therefore  her  young  men  shall 
fall  in  her  streets,  and  all  the  men

saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.

gainst  '’Edam  in  the  beginning  of

Behold,  I will  break  ^the  bow  of

I will  bring  evil  upon  them,  even  my

with  their  faces  thitherward,  say- 
ing, Come,  and  let  us  join  ourselves 
to  the  Lord  in  perpetual  cove-

to  go  astray,  they  have  turned  them 
away  071 " the  mountains  : they  have 
gone  from  mountain  to  hill,  they 
have  forgotten  their  ^ restingplace. 

7 All  that  found  them  have  ^de- 
voured them:  and  Hheir  adversa- 
ries said,  *We  offend  not,  because 
they  have  sinned  against  the  Lord,

themselves  in  array  against  her;

them,  saith  the  Lord  and  do  "ac- 
cording to  all  that  I have  com- 
manded thee.  . . 

22  "A  sound  of  battle  is  in  the 
land,  and  of  great  destruction. 

23  How  is  ^'the  hammer  of  the 
whole  earth  cut  asunder  and  bro- 
ken ! how  is  Bab-y-lbn  become  a 
desolation  among  the  nations ! 

24  I have  laid  a snare  for  thee,  and 
thou  art  also  taken,  O Bab-y-lbn, 
'and  thou  wast  not  aware : thou  art 
found,  and  also  caught,  because  thou 
hast  striven  against  the  Lord. 

25  The  Lord  hath  opened  his  ar- 
moury, and  hath  brought  forth  ''the 
weapons  of  his  indignation : for  this 
is  the  work  of  the  Lord  God  of  hosts 
in  the  land  of  the  -Ghal-de-ans. 

26  Come  against  her  “from  the  ut- 
most border,  open  her  storehouses  : 
‘•'cast  her  up  as  heaps,  and  destroy 
her  utterly : let  nothing  of  her  be 
left. 

27  Slay  all  her  bullocks;  let 
them  go  down  to  the  slaughter: 
woe  unto  them  ! for  their  day  is 
come,  the  time  of  ’’their  visitation. 


Judgment  of  Babylon^ 


JEREMIAH,  51. 


28  The  voice  of  them  that  flee  and 

escape  out  of  the  land  of  Bab-y-l5n, 
" to  declare  in  Zi-on  the  vengeance 
of  the  Lord  our  God,  the  vengeance 
of  his  temple. 

29  Call  together  the  archers  against 
Bab-y-lOn:  ‘'all  ye  that  bend  the 
bow,  camp  against  it  round  about ; 
let  none  thereof  escape  : recom- 
pense her  according  to  her  work ; 
according  to  all  that  she  hath  done, 
do  unto  her:  '"for  she  hath  been 
proud  against  the  Lord,  against 
the  Holy  One  of  Is-ra-el. 

30  ‘Therefore  shall  her  young  men 
fall  in  the  streets,  and  all  her  men 
of  war  shall  be  cut  off  in  that  day, 
saith  the  Lord. 

31  Behold,  I am  against  thee,  0 
thou  ^most  proud,  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  hosts  : for  ^thy  day  is  come, 
the  time  that  I will  visit  thee. 

32  And  ‘^the  most  proud  shall 
stumble  and  fall,  ancT  none  shall 
raise  him  up:  and  will  kindle  a 
fire  in  his  cities,  and  it  shall  devour 
all  round  about  him. 

33  U Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
The  children  of  Is-ra-el  and  the 
children  of  Ju-dah  were  oppressed 
together:  and  all  that  took  them 
captives  held  them  fast;  they  re- 
fused to  let  them  go. 

34  ^ Their  Redeerner  is  strong ; 

^ the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name  : he 
shall  throughly  plead  their  cause, 
that  he  may  give  rest  to  the  land, 
and  disquiet  the  inhabitants  of 
Bab-y-l5n. 

35  IT  A sword  is  upon  the  -Ghal- 
de-ans,  saith  the  Lord,  and  upon 
the  inhabitants  of  Bab-y-lon,  and 
*upon  her  princes,  and  upon  •‘‘her 
wise  men. 

36  A sword  is  "upon  the  liars; 
and  they  shall  dote:  a sword  is 
upon  her  mighty  men ; and  they 
shall  be  dismayed. 

37  A sword  is  upon  their  horses, 
and  upon  their  chariots,  and  upon 
all  ^ the  mingled  people  that  are  in 
the  midst  of  her;  and  “they  shall 
become  as  women  : a sword  is  upon 
her  treasures ; and  they  shall  be 
robbed. 

38  ^ A drought  is  upon  her  waters ; 
and  they  shall  be  dried  up : for  it 

the  land  of  ^ graven  images,  and 
they  are  mad  upon  their  idols. 

39  ^Therefore  the  wild  beasts  of 
the  desert  with  the  wild  beasts  of 
rhe  islands  shall  dwell  there,  and 
the  owls  shall  dwell  therein : ‘and 
it  shall  be  no  more  inhabited  for 
ever;  neither  shall  it  be  dwelt  in 
from  generation  to  generation. 

40  ^As  God  overthrew  S5d-5m  and ' 


and  redemption  of  Israel.

Go-m5r-rah  and  the  neighbour  cities 

thereof,  saith  the  Lord  ; so  shall  no 
man  abide  there,  neither  shall  any 
son  of  man  dwell  therein. 

41  * Behold,  a people  shall  come 
from  the  north,  and  a great  nation, 
and  many  kings  shall  be  raised  up 
from  the  coasts  of  the  earth. 

42  ®They  shall  hold  the  bow  and 
the  lance:  -^they  are  cruel,  and 
will  not  shew  mercy:  ^ their  voice 
shall  roar  like  the  sea,  and  they 
shall  ^ ride  upon  horses,  every  one 
put  in  array,  like  a man  to  the 
battle,  against  thee,  O daughter  of 
Bab-y-lOn. 

43  The  king  of  Bab-^to  hath 
heard  the  report  of  them,  and  his 
hands  waxed  feeble  : ^anguish  took 
hold  of  him,  and  pangs  as  of  a 
woman  in  travail. 

44  ‘"Behold,  he  shall  come  up  like 
a lion  from  the  swelling  of  Jdr-dan 
unto  the  habitation  of  the  strong : 
but  I will  make  them  suddenly  run 
away  from  her : and  who  is  a chosen 
man,  that^  I may  appoint  over  her  ? 
for  who  is  like  me'?  and  who  will 
^appoint  me  the  time'?  and  "who  is 
that  shepherd  that  will  stand  be- 
fore me*? 

45  Therefore  hear  ye  ^the  counsel 
of  the  Lord,  that  he  hath  taken  a- 
gainst  Bab-y-l5n ; and  his  purposes, 
that  he  hath  purposed  against  the 
land  of  the  -Ghal-de-ans : Surely  the 
least  of  the  flock  shall  draw  them 
put:  surely  he  shall  make  their 
habitation  desolate  with  them. 

4 6 * At  the  noise  of  the  taking  of 
Bab-y-l6n  the  earth  is  moved,  and 
the  cry  is  heard  among  the  nations. 

CHAPTER  51. 

1 The  severe  judgment  of  God  against  Babylon.  69  Jere- 
miah  delivereth  the  book  of  this  prophecy  to  Seraiah,  to 
be  cast  into  Euphrates. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Behold,  I 
will  raise  up  against  Bab-y-l5n. 
and  against  them  that  dwell  in  the 
® midst  of  thena  that  rise  up  against 
me,  ‘a  destroying  wind ; 

2  And  will  send  unto  Bab-y-l6n 
* fanners,  that  shall  fan  her,  and 
shall  empty  her  land:  ‘'for  in  the 
day  of  trouble  they  shall  be  against 
her  round  about. 

3  Against  him  that  bendeth  "let  the 
archer  bend  his  bow,  and  against 
him  that  lifteth  himself  up  in  his 
brigandine:  and  spare  ye  not  her 
’oung  men ; '^destroy  ye  utterly  all 
ler  host. 

4  Thus  the  slain  shall  fall  in  the 
land  of  the  -Ghal-de-ans,  *and  they 
that  are  thrust  through  in  her 
streets.  .. 

5 For  Is-ra-6l  hath  not  been  for-

the  Lord  of  hosts;  though  their 
land  was  filled  with  sin  against  the 
Holy  One  of  Is-ra-el.  . - 

6 ^Flee  out  of  the  midst  of  Rab-y- 
l5n,  and  deliver  every  man  his  soul : 
be  not  cut  off  in  her  iniquity ; for 
^ this  is  the  time  of  the  Lord  s ven- 
geance ; ®he  will  render  unto  her  a 

recompence.  , , , i 

7 -^Bab-y-lbn  hath  been  a golden 
cup  in  the  Lord’s  hand,  that  made 
all  the  earth  drunken:  '‘the  nations 
have  drunken  of  her  wine ; there- 
fore the  nations  \are  mad. 

8 Bab-y-ldn  is  suddenly  Hallen  and 

destroyed:  'howl  for  her; /"take 
balm  for  her  pain,  if  so  be  she  may 
be  healed.  , , ^ ^ 

9 We  would  have  healed  Bab-y- 
Ibn,  but  she  is  not  healed : forsake 
her,  and  ”let  us  go  every  one  into 
his  own  country : ^ for  her  D^d^ 
ment  reacheth  unto  heaven,  and 
is  lifted  up  even  to  the  skies. 

10  The  Lord  hath  brought  forth 
our  righteousness : come,  and  let 
us  ’•declare  in  Zi-bn  the  work  of 
the  Lord  our  God. 

11  *Make  ^ bright  the  arrows;  g^ 
ther  the  shields : ‘ the  Lord  hath 
raised  up  the  spirit  of  the  kings  of 
the  Medes : ^for  his  device  is  against 
Bab-y-lbh,  to  destroy  it ; because  it 
is  ^the  vengeance  of  the  Lord,  the 
vengeance  of  his  temple. 

12  "Set  up  the  standard  upon  the 
walls  of  Bab-y-lbn,  make  the  watch 
strong,  set  up  the  watchmen,  pre- 
pare the  ^ ambushes : for  the  Lord 
hath  both  devised  and  done  that 
which  he  spake  against  the  inhab- 
itants of  Bab-y-lbn. 

13  "O  thou  that  dwellest  upon 
many  waters,  abundant  in  treas- 
ures, thine  end  is  come,  and  the 
measure  of  thy  covetousness. 

14  ®The  Lord  9f  hosts  hath  sworn 
®by  himself,  saying.  Surely  I will  fill 
thee  with  men,  ^as  with  caterpillers ; 
and  they  shall  ®lift  *up  a shout  a- 
gainst  thee. 

15  'He  hath  made  the  earth  by 
his  power,  he  hath  established  the 
world  by  his  wisdom,  and  ”‘hath 
stretched  out  the  heaven  by  his 
understanding. 

16  "When  he  uttereth  his  voice, 
there  is  a ''multitude  of  waters  in 
the  heavens;  and  ^he  causeth  the 
vapours  to  ascend  from  the  ends 
of  the  earth  : he  maketh  lightnings 
with  rain,  and  bringeth  forth  the 
wind  out  of  his  treasures.

mained in  their  holds : their  might 
hath  failed;  “they  became  as  wo-

31  ®One  post  shall  run  to  meet  an-

end, 

32  And  that  ^the  passages  are 
stopped,  and  the  reeds  they  have

Will  dry  up  her  sea,  and  make  her 
springs  dry. 

37  ^And  Bab-y-lbn  shall  become

“^an  astonishment,  and  an  hissing, 
without  an  inhabitant. 

38  They  shall  roar  together  like

Bab-y-lbn  shall  fall. 

45  «My  people,  gp  ye  out  of  the 
midst  ot  her,  and  deliver  ye  every 
inan  his  soul  from  the  fierce  angep 
ot  the  Loed. 

46  And  Hest  your  heart  faint,  and

snail  both  come  one  year,  and  after 
that  in  another  year  shall  come  a 
rumour,  and  violence  in  the  land, 
ruler  against  ruler. 

47  Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  that  will  ‘Mo  judgment 
upon  the  graven  images  of  Bab-y- 
Ibn : and  her  whole  land  shall  be 
confounded,  and  all  her  slain  shall 
tall  in  the  midst  of  her. 

48  Then  the  heaven  and  the 
earth,  and  all  that  is  therein,  shall 
sing  for  Bab-y-lOn:  “for  the  spoil- 
ers shall  come  unto  her  from  the 
north,  saith  the  Loed. 

49  ^As  Bab-y-l5n  hath  caused  the 
slam  of  Ish4-el  to  fall,  so  at  Bab-y- 
Ibn  shall  fall  the  slain  of  all  ®the 
earth. 

50-p  Ye  that  have  escaped  the  sword, 
go  away,  stand  not  still : remember 
the  Loed  afar  off,  and  let  Jc-ru-sa-

51  ’'We  are  confounded,  because 
ve  have  heard  reproach : shame 
hath  covered  qur  faces:  for  stran- 
gers are  come  into  the  sanctuaries 
of  the  Loed’s  house. 

52  Wherefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Loed,  "'that  I will 
do  judgment  upon  her  graven  im- 
ages : and  through  all  her  land  the 
wounded  shall  groan. 

53  ^Though  Bab-y-l5n  should 
rnount  up  to  heaven,  and  though 
she  should  fortify  the  height  of 
her  strength,  yet  from  me  shall

Loed. 

54  p A sound  of  a cry  cometh  from 
Bab-y-lbn,  and  great  destruction 
from  the  land  of  the  -Ghal-de-ans : 

55  Because  the  Loed  hath  spoiled 
BabV-l6n,  and  destroyed  out  of  her 
the  great  voice;  when  her  waves 
do  roar  like  great  waters,  a noise  of

her,  even  upon  BabV-lOn,  and  lier 
inighty  men  are  taken,  every  one  of 
their  bows  is  broken  : ® for  the  Loed 
God  of  recompences  shall  surely  re-

should  ^relieve  my  soul  is  far  from

concerning  Ja-e5b,  that  his  adver-

"they  deceived  me : my  priests  and

20  Behold,  O Lord  ; for  1 am  in

for  I have  grievously  rebelled : 
’’abroad  the  sword  bereaveth,  at 
home  there  is  as  death. 

21  They  have  heard  that  I sigh : 
there  is  none  to  comfort  me : all

22  ^Let  all  their  wickedness  come

in  his  wrath  the  strong  holds  of 
the  daughter  of  J u-dah  ; he  hath 
* brought  them  down  to  the  ground  : 
*he  hath  polluted  the  kingdom  and 
the  princes  thereof. 

3 He  hath  cut  off  in  his  fierce 
anger  all  the  horn  of  Is-ra-el : he 
hath  drawn  back  his  right  hand 
from  before  the  enemy,  ‘^and  he 
burned  against  Ja-«5b  like  a flam- 
ing fire,  which  devoureth  round 
about. 

4 -^He  hath  bent  his  bow  like  an 
enemy : he  stood  with  his  right 
hand  as  an  adversary,  and  slew 
^alP  that  were  pleasant  to  the  eye 
in  the  tabernacle  of  the  daughter 
of  Zi-on:  he  poured  out  his  fury 
like  fire. 

5 *The  Lord  was  as  an  enemy : he 
hath  swallowed  up  Is-ra-el,  *he  hath 
swallowed  up  all  her  palaces  : he 
hath  destroyed  his  strong  holds, 
and  hath  increased  in  the  daugh- 
ter of  Ju-dah  mourning  and  lam 
entation. 

6 And  he  hath  violently  ^ taken 
away  his  ® tabernacle,  «as  if  it  were 
of  a garden  : he  hath  destroyed  his 
places  of  the  assembly : Hhe  Loed 
hath  caused  the  solemn  feasts  and 
sabbaths  to  be  forgotten  in  Zi-5n, 
and  hath  despised  in  the  indigna- 
tion of  his  anger  the  king  and  the 
priest. 

7 The  Lord  hath  cast  off  his  altar, 
he  hath  abhorred  his  sanctuary,  he 
hath  ®given  up  into  the  hand  of  the 
enemy  the  walls  of  her  palaces; 
nhey  have  made  a noise  in  the 
house  of  the  Loed,  as  in  the  day 
of  a solemn  feast. 

8 The  Loed  hath  purposed  to 
destroy  the  wall  of  the  daughter 
of  Zi-On : “ he  hath  stretched  out 
a line,  he  hath  not  withdrawn  his 
hand  from  ^destroying:  therefore 
he  made  the  rampart  and^  the 
wall  to  lament ; they  languished 
together. 

9 Her  gates  are  sunk  into  the 
ground ; he  hath  destroyed  and 
“broken  her  bars:  ‘^her  king  and 
her  princes  are  among  the  Oen- 
tiles  : ^ the  law  is  no  more ; her 
'^prophets  also  find  no  vision  from 
the  Loed.

Zi-5n  *sit  upon  the  ground,  and 
keep  silence : they  have  *cast  up 
dust  upon  their  heads;  they  have

the  sucklings  ‘“^swoon  in  the  streets 
of  the  city.

Where  is  corn  and  wine  % when  they 
swooned  as  the  wounded  in  the 
streets  of  the  city,  when  their  souJ 
was  poured  out  into  their  mothers’ 
bosom, 

1 3 What  thing  shall  I take  to  wit- 
ness for  thee?  ®what  thing  shall  I 
liken  to  thee,  O daughter  of  Je-ru' 
sa-lem  % what  shall  I equal  to  thee, 
that  I may  comfort  thee,  O virgin 
daughter  of  ZTSn?  for  thy  breach 
is  great  like  the  sea : who  can  heal 
thee? 

14  Thy  ^prophets  have  seen  vain 
and  foolish  things  for  thee : and 
they  have  not  * discovered  thine  in- 
iquity, to  turn  away  thy  captiv- 
ity ; but  have  seen  for  thee  false 
burdens  and  causes  of  banishment.

wag  their  head  at  the  daughter 
of  Jc-ru-sa-lem,  saying.  Is  this  the 
city  that  men  call  ''The  perfectior 
of  beauty.  The  joy  of  the  whole 
earth  ?

commanded  in  the  days  of  old: 
he  hath  thrown  down,  and  hath 
not  pitied : and  he  hath  caused 
thine  enemy  to  ^rejoice  over  thee, 
he  hath  set  up  the  horn  of  thine 
adversaries. 

18  Their  heart  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  O wall  of  the  daughter  of 
Zi-on,  "let  tears  run  down  like  a 
river  day  and  night : give  thyself 
no  rest ; let  not  the  apple  of  thine 
eye  cease. 

1 9 Arise,  fcry  out  in  the  night : 
in  the  beginning  of  the  watches 
*pour  out  thine  heart  like  water 
before  the  face  of  the  Lord : lift 
u]^  thy  hands  toward  him  for  the 
life  of  thy  young  children,  that 
faint  for  hunger  "“in  the  top  of 
every  street. 

20  ?I  Behold,  O Loed,  and  con- 
sider to  whom  thou  hast  done  this. 
"Shall  the  women  eat  their  fruit, 
ami  children  ®of  a span  long?  ®shall 
the  priest  and  the  prophet  be  slain 

' in  the  sanctuary  of  the  Lord  ?

the  ground  in  the  streets : my  vir- 
gins and  my  young  men  are  tallen 
by  the  sword ; thou  hast  them 
in  the  day  of  thine  anger ; Hhou 
hast  killed,  avd  not  pitied. 

22  Thou  hast  called  as  in  a sol- 
emn day  ‘^my  terrors  round  about, 
so  that  in  the  day  of  the  Lords

that  I cannot  get  out : he  hath 
made  my  chain  heavy.

shutteth  out  my  prayer. 

9  He  hath  inclosed  my  ways  with

made  me  desolate. 

12  He  hath  bent  his  bow,  and  ^set

cleaveth  to  the  roof  of  his  mouth

bread,  and  no  man  breaketh  it  unto 
them. 

5 They  that  did  feed  delicately  are 
desolate  in  the  streets : they  that 
were  brought  up  in  scarlet  ‘embrace 
dunghills. 

6 For  the  ^punishment  of  the  iniq- 
uity of  the  daughter  of  my  people 
IS  greater  than  the  punishment  of 
the  sin  of  Sod-6m,  that  was  'over- 
thrown as  in  a moment,  and  no

7 Her  Naz-a-rites  were  purer  than

14  They  have  wandered  as  blind 
men  in  the  streets,  "they  have  pol- 
luted themselves  with  blood,  “so’ 
that  men  could  not  touch  their  gar-

15  They  cried  unto  them.  Depart 
ye ; Ht  is  ^unclean  ; depart,  depart, 
touch  not : when  they  fled  away

heathen.  They  shall  no  more  sojourn 
there.

-Ghal-de-ans  by  the  river  €he-bar ; 
and  “the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
there  upon  him.  , , , , , ^ 

4 H And  I looked,  and,  behold,  ^a 
whirlwind  came  ‘^out  of  the  north, 
a great  cloud,  and  a fire  ^infolding 
itself,  and  a brightness  was  about 
it,  and  out  of  the  midst  thereof  as 
the  colour  of  amber,  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  fire. 


Vision  of  four  cheruhims, 


EZEKIEL,  2. 


5 “Also  out  of  the  midst  thereof 
came  the  likeness  of  four  living 
creatures.  And  Hhis  was  their  ap- 
pearance ; they  had  ‘*the  likeness 
or  a man. 

6 And  every  one  had  four  faces, 
and  every  one  had  four  wings. 

7 And  their  feet  were^  ^straight 
feet ; and  the  sole  of  their  feet  was 
like  the  sole  of  a calf’s  foot : and 
they  sparkled  s' like  the  colour  of 
burnished  brass. 

8 ^And  they  had  the  hands  of  a 
man  under  their  wings  on  their 
four  sides  ; and  they  four  had  their 
faces  and  their  Avings. 

9 * Their  wings  were  joined  one  to 
another;  *they  turned  not  when 
they  went;  they  went  every  one 
straight  forward. 

10  As  for  ’"the  likeness  of  their 
faces,  they  four  "had  the  face  of  a 
man,  "and  the  face  of  a lion,  on  the 
nght  side : ^and  they  four  had  the 
face  of  an  ox  on  the  left  side;  «they 
four  also  had  the  face  of  an  eagle. 

1 1^  Thus  were  their  faces : and 
their  wings  were  ^stretched  up- 
ward ; two  wings  of  every  one 
were  joined  one  to  another,  and 
“two  covered  their  bodies. 

12  And  "'they  went  every  one 
straight  forward:  2/ whither  the 
spirit  was  to  go,  they  went;  and 
Hhey  turned  not  when  they  went. 

13  As  for  the  likeness  of  the  liv- 
ing creatures,  their  appearance  was 
like  burning  coals  of  hre,  '^and  like 
the  appearance  of  lamps : it  went 
up  and  down  among  the  living 
creatures ; and  the  fire  was  bright, 
and  out  of  the  fire  went  forth 
lightning. 

14  And  the  living  creatures  ran 
and  returned  /as  the  appearance 
or  a flash  or  lightning. 

15  U Now  as  I beheld  the  living 
creatures,  behold  -^one  wheel  upon 
the  earth  by  the  living  creatures, 
with  his  four  faces. 

16  ^The  appearance  of  the  wheels 
and  their  work  was  ^like  unto  the 
colour  of  a beryl:  and  they  four 
nad  one  likeness  : and  their  ap- 
pearance and  their  work  was  as 
It  were  a wheel  in  the  middle  of  a 
wheel. 

17  When  they  went,  they  went 
upon  their  four  sides:  ^and  they 

1 A 

18  As  for  their  rings,  they  were 
so  high  that  they  were  dreadful; 
and  their  ® rings  were  "full  of  eyes 
round  about  them  four. 

19  And  "when  the  living  creatures 
went,  the  wheels  went  by  them : 
and  when  the  living  creatures  were 


and  of  the  four  wheels.

21 /When  those  went,  these  went: 
and  when  those  stood,  these  stood; 
and  when  those  were  lifted  up  from 
the  earth,  the  wheels  were  lifted  up 
thcBi : for  the  spirit 
or  the  living  creature  was  in  the 
wheels. 

22  *And  the  likeness  of  the  firma 
ment  upon  the  heads  of  the  living 
creature  was  as  the  colour  of  the 
tprible  crystal,  stretched  forth  over 
their  heads  above. 

23  And  under  the  firmament  were 
their  wings  straight,  the  one  toward 
the  other : every  one  had  two,  which 
covered  on  this  side,  and  every  one 
had  two,  which  covered  on  that 
side,  their  bodies. 

24  ’’And  when  they  went,  I heard 
the  noise  of  their  wings,  dike  the 
noise  of  great  waters,  as  dhe  voice 
of  the  Alinighty,  the  voice  of  speech, 
as  the  noise  of  an  host : when  they 
stood,  they  let  down  their  wings. 

25  And  there  was  a voice  from  the 
firmament  that  wasoYec  their  heads, 
when  they  stood,  and  had  let  down 
their  wings. 

26  U ‘*And  above  the  firmament 
that  was  over  their  heads  was  the 
likeness  of  a throne,  ‘'as  the  appear- 
ance of  a sapphire  stone : and  upon 
the  likeness  of  the  throne  was  the 
likeness  as  the  appearance  of  a man 
above  upon  it. 

27  ‘^And  I saw  as  the  colour  of 
amber,  as  the  appearance  of  fire 
round  about  within  it,  from  the 
appearance  of  his  loins  even  up- 
ward, and  from  the  appearance  of 
his  loins  even  downward,  I saw 
as  it  were  the  appearance  of  fire, 
and  it  had  brightness  round  about. 

28  * As  the  appearance  of  the  bow 
that  is  in  the  cloud  in  the  day  of 
rain,  so  was  the  appearance  of  the 
brightness  round  about.  *This  was 
the  appearance  of  the  likeness  of 
the  glory  of  the  Lokd.  And  when 
I saAv  it,  fell  upon  my  face,  and 
I heard  a voice  of  one  that  spake.

Ezekiel  s comrici^sion.  EZEKIEL,  3. 

«rhen  he  spake  unto  me,  and  set  me 
upon  my  feet,  that  I heard  him  that 
spake  unto  me.  c.  £ 

3 And  he  said  unto  me,  bon  ot 
man,  I send  thee  to  the  children  ot 
Is-ra-el,  to  a rebellious  ^nation  that 
hath  rebelled  against  me:  Hhey 
and  their  fathers  have  transgressed 
against  me,  even  unto  this  very  day. 

4 *For  they  are  '^impudent  chil- 
dren and  stiffhearted.  I do  send 
thee  unto  them ; and  thou  shalt  say 
unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  brOD. 

5 ^And  they,  whether  they  will 
hear,  or  whether  they  will  forbear 
(for  they  are  a rebellious  house.) 
yet  shall  know  that  there  hath 
been  a prophet  among  them. 

6 ^ And  thou,  son  of  man,  ^be  not 
afraid  of  them,  neither  be  afraid 
of  their  words,  though  'briers**  and 
thorns  be  with  thee,  and  thou  dost 
dwell  among  scorpions:  ’^^be  not 
afraid  of  their  words,  nor  be  dis- 
mayed at  their  looks,  ” though  they 
be  a rebellious  house. 

7 "And  thou  shalt  speak  my  words 
unto  them,  whether  they  will 
hear,  or  whether  they  vv^ill  forbear : 
for  tney  are  ’'most  rebellious. 

8 But  thou,  son  of  man,  hear  what 

I  say  unto  thee ; Be  not  thou  re- 
bellious like  that  rebellious  house_; 
open  thy  mouth,  and  *eat  that 
give  thee.  ^ ^ ^ 

9 H And  when  I looked,  behold, 

*an  hand  was  sent  unto  me  ; and, 
lo,  “a  roll  of  a book  was  therein ; 

10  And  he  spread  it  before  me; 
and  it  was  written  within  and  with- 
out : and  there  tvas  written  therein 
lamentations,  and  mourning,,  and 
woe.

sheweth  him  the  rule  of  prophecy.  22  God  shutteth  and 
openeth  the  prophet's  mouth. 

Moreover  he  said  unto  me, 

Son  of  man,  eat  that  thou 
findest ; ‘"eat  this  roll,  and  go  speak 
unto  the  house  of  Is-ra-el. 

2  So  I opened  my  mouth,  and  he 
caused  me  to  eat  that  roll. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me,  Son  of 
man,  cause  thy  belly  to  eat,  and 
fill  thy  bowels  with  this  roll  that 
I give  thee.  Then  did  I ‘'eat  it ; 
and  it  was  in  my  mouth  ®as  honey 
for  sweetness. 

4  H And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  go,  get  thee  unto  the  house  of 
Is-ra-6l,  and  speak  with  my  words

6 Not  to  many  people  ^of  a strange

whose  words  thou  canst  not  under-

them,  they  would  have  hearkened 
unto  thee.  .n  - 

7 But  the  house  of  Is-ra-el  will  npt 

hearken  unto  thee;  for  they  will 
not  hearken  unto  me : ‘'for  all  the 
house  of  Is-ra-el  are  Hmpudent  and 
hardhearted.  , , . 

8 Behold,  I have  made  thy  face 
strong  against  their  faces,  and  thy 
forehead  strong  against  their  tore-

9 i'As  an  adamant  harder  than  flint 

have  I made  thy  forehead:  "fear 
them  not,  neither  be  dismayed  at 
their  looks,  though  they  be  a rebel- 
lious house.  . , , o 

10  Moreover  he  said  unto  me,  bon 
of  man,  all  my  words  that  I ^all 
speak  unto  thee  receive  in  thine 
heart,  and  hear  with  thine  ears. 

1 1 And  go,  get  thee  to  them  oi  the 
captivity,  unto  the  children  ot  thy 
people,  and  speak  unto  them,  and 
tell  them,  «Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  whether  they  will  hear,  or 
whether  they  will  forbear. 

12  Then  ""the  spirit  took  me  up, 
and  I heard  behind  me  a voice  ot 
a great  rushing,  saying.  Blessed  be 
the  glory  of  the  Lord  from  his  place. 

13  / heard  also  the  noise  of  the 
wings  of  the  living  creatures  that 
Houched  one  another,  and  the  noise 
of  the  wheels  over  against  them, 
and  a noise  of  a great  rushing. 

14  So  Hhe  spirit  lifted  me  up,  and 
took  me  away,  and  I went  ®in  bit- 
terness, in  the  ^ heat  of  my  spirit ; 
but  '‘the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
strong  upon  me. 

15  H Then  I came  to  them  of  the 
captivity  at  Tel-a-bib,  that  dwelt 
by  the  river  of  -Ghe-bar,  and  " I sat 
where  they  sat,  and  remained  there 
astonished  among  them  seven  days. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end 
of  seven  days,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

17  '’Son  of  man,  I have  made  thee 
"a  watchman  unto  the  house  of  Is- 
ra-6l : therefore  hear  the  word  at 
my  mouth,  and  give  them  warning 

from  me.  ^ i j 

18  When  I say  unto  the  wicked.

quire at  thine  hand.  . , i

ness,  nor  from  his  wicked  way,  he 
shall  die  in  his  iniquity;  *but  thou 
hast  delivered  thy  soul. 

20  Again,  When  a ‘'righteous  man 
doth  turn  from  his  ^righteousness, 
and  commit  iniquity,  and  I lay  a 
stumblingblock  before  him,  he  shall 
die : because  thou  hast  not  given 
him  warning,  he  shall  die  in  his 
sin,  and  his  righteousness  which 
he  hath  done  shall  not  be  remem- 
bered ; but  his  blood  will  I require 
at  thine  hand. 

21  Nevertheless  if  thou  warn  the 
righteous  man,  that  the  righteous 
sin  not,  and  he  doth  not  sin,  he 
shall  surely  live,'  because  he  is 
warned ; also  thou  hast  delivered 
thy  soul. 

22  H ^And  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  there  upon  me;  and  he  said 
unto  me,  Arise,  go  forth  -^into  the 
plain,  and  I will  there  talk  with 
thee. 

23  Then  I arose,  and  went  forth 
into  the  plain:  and,  behold,  '‘the 
glory  of  the  Lord  stood  there,  as 
the  glory  which  I *saw  by  the  river 
of  -Ghe-bar : *and  I fell  on  my  face. 

24  Then  'the  spirit  entered  into 
me,  and  set  me  upon  rny  feet,  and 
^ake  with  me,  and  said  unto  me. 
Go,  shut  thyself  within  thine  house. 

25  But  thou,  O son  of  man,  behold, 
"‘they  shall  put  bands  upon  thee, 
and  shall  bind  thee  with  them,  and 
thou  shalt  not  go  out  among  them : 

26  And  "I  will  make  thy  tongue 
cleave  to  the  roof  of  thy  mouth, 
that  thou  shalt  be  dumb,  and  shalt 
not  be  to  them  ® a reprover ; “ for 
they  are  a rebellious  house. 

27  ^^But  when  I speak  with  thee, 

I  will  open  thy  mouth,  and  thou 
shalt  say  unto  them,  ®Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  ; He  that  heareth,  let 
him  hear;  and  he  that  forbeareth, 
let  him  forbear : " for  they  are  a 
rebellious  house.

of  Is-ra-el  upon  it : according  to  the 
number  of  the  days  that  thou  shalt

upon  thee,  and  thou  shalt  not  turn 
thee  ^from  one  side  to  another,  till 
thou  hast  ended  the  days  of  thy 
siege. 

9 U Take  thou  also  unto  thee 
wheat,  and  barley,  and  beans,  and

and  put  them  in  one  vessel,  and

dred and  ninety  days  shalt  thou  eat

CHAPTER  5. 

1 U'nder  the  type  of  hair,  5 is  shewed  the  judgment  of 
Jerusalem,  12  hy  famine,  sword,  amd  dispersUm. 

AND  thou,  son  of  man,  take  thee 
a sharp  knife,  take  thee  a bar- 
ber’s razor,  ^and  cause  it  to  pass  up- 
on thine  head  and  upon  thy  beard : 
then  take  thee  balances  to  weigh, 
and  divide  the  hair. 

2 ""Thou  shalt  burn  with  hre  a 
third  part  in  the  midst  of  the  city, 
when  '^the  days  of  the  siege  are  tul- 
filled:  and  thou  shalt  take  a third 
part,  and  smite  about  it  with  a 
knife : and  a third  part  thou  &;halt 
scatter  in  the  wind ; and  I will  draw 
out  a sword  after  them. 

3 *Thou  shalt  also  take  thereof  a 

few  in  number,  and  bind  them  in 
thy  ^skirts.  ^ ^ 

4 Then  take  of  them  again,  and 

*cast  them  into  the  midst  of  the 
fire,  and  burn  them  in  the  fire; /or 
thereof  shall  a fire  come  forth  into 
all  the  house  of  Is-ra-el.  . 

5 Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; This 
is  Je-ru-sa-lem:  I have  set  it  in  the 
midst  of  the  nations  and  countries 
that  are  round  about  her.  ^ 

6 And  she  hath  changed  my  judg- 
ments into  wickedness  more  than 
the  nations,  and  my  statutes  more 
than  the  countries  that  are  round 
about  her:  for  they  have  refused 
my  judgments  and  my  statutes, 
they  have  not  walked  in  them. 

7 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Because  ye  multiplied  more 
than  the  nations  that  are  round 
about  you,  and  have  not  walked 
in  my  statutes,  neither  have  kept 
my  judgments,  ‘^neither  have  done 
according  to  the  judgments  of  the 
nations  that  are  round  about  you; 

8 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Behold,  I,  even  I,  am  against 
thee,  and  will  execute  iudgments 
in  the  midst  of  thee  in  the  sight  of 
the  nations. 

9 ^'And  I will  do  in  thee  that  which 
I have  not  done,  and  whereunto  I 
will  not  do  any  more  the  like,  be- 
cause of  all  thine  abominations 

10  Therefore  the  fathers  '"shall  eat 
the  sons  in  the  midst  of  thee,  and 
the  sons  shall  eat  their  fathers ; and 
I will  execute  judgments  in  thee, 
and  the  whole  remnant  of  thee  will 
I 'scatter  into  all  the  winds.

hy  famine,  sworOi 

11  Wherefore,  as  I live,  saith  th" 

Lord  God  ; Surely,  because  thou 
hast  defiled  my  sanctuary  with  all 
thy  "'detestable  things,  and  with  all 
thine  abominations,  therefore  will 
I also  diminish  thee ; ® neither  shall 
mine  eye  spare,  neither  will  1 have 
any  pity.  „ , , „ 

12  ^ ^A  third  part  of  thee  shall 
die  with  the  pestilence,  and  with 
famine  shall  they  be  consumed  in 
the  midst  of  thee  : and  a third  part 
shall  fall  by  the  sword  round  about 
thee;  and  H will  scatter  a third 
part  into  all  the  winds,  and  will 
draw  out  a sword  after  them. 

13  Thus  shall  mine  anger  'be  ac- 
complished, and  I will  ” cause  my 
fury  to  rest  upon  them,  ^and  1 will 
be  comforted : ^and  they  shall  know 
that  I the  Lord  have  spoken  2^  in 
my  zeal,  when  I have  accomplished 
my  fury  in  them. 

14  Moreover  will  make  thee 
waste,  and  a reproach  among  the 
nations  that  are  round  about  thee, 
in  the  sight  of  all  that  pass  by. 

15  So  it  shall  be  a /reproach  and 
a taunt,  an  instruction  and  an  as- 
tonishment unto  the  nations 

are  round  about  thee,  when  I shall 
execute  judgments  in  thee  in  anger 
and  in  fury  and  in  ^furious  rebukes. 

I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

16  When  I shall  "send  upon  them 
the  evil  arrows  of  famine,  which 
shall  be  for  their  destruction,  and 
which  I will  send  to  destroy  you : and 
I will  increase  the  famine  upon  you, 
and  will  break  your  * staff  of  bread : 

1 7 So  will  I send  upon  you  famine 
and  ''evil  beasts,  and  they  shall 
bereave  thee ; and  pestilence  and 
blood  shall  pass  through  thee  ; and 
I will  bring  the  sword  upon  thee. 
I the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

CHAPTER  6, 

1 The  judgment  of  Israel  for  their  idolatry.  8 A remnant 
shall  be  blessed. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

2 Son  of  man,  ®set  thy  face  toward 

the  •''mountains  of  Is-ra-el,  and  pro- 
phesy against  them,  , ^ ^ 

3 And  say.  Ye  mountains  of  Is-ra- 
el.  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  Gop ; 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  to  the 
mountains,  and  to  the  hills,  to  the 
rivers,  and  to  the  valleys ; Behold, 
I,  even  I,  will  bring  a sword  upon 
you,  and  H will  destroy  your  high 
plS/COS 

4 And  your  altars  shall  be  des- 
olate, and  your  Hmages  shall  be 
broken : and  will  cast  down  your 
slain  men  before  your  idols. 


EZEKIEL,  7. 


fiml  desolation  of  fsraei 


lif: 

I 


5 And  I will  Uay  the  dead  carcases 
of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  before 
their  idols ; and  I will  scatter  your 
bones  round  about  your  altars. 

6 In  all  your  dwellingplaces  the 
cities  shall  be  laid  waste,  and  the 
high  places  shall  be  desolate ; that 
your  altars  may  be  laid  waste  and 
made  desolate,  and  your  idols  may 
be  broken  and  cease,  and  your  im- 
ages may  be  cut  down,  and  your 
works  may  be  abolished. 

7 And  the  slain  shall  fall  in  the 
midst  of  you,  and  ‘'ye  shall  know 
that  I am  the  Lord. 

8 IT  Yet  will  I leave  a remnant, 
that  ye  may  have  some  that  shall 
escape  the  sword  among  the  na- 
tions, when  ye  shall  be  scattered 
through  the  countries. 

9 And  they  that  escape  of  you  shall 
remember  me  among  the  nations 
whither  they  shall  be  carried  cap- 
tives, because  -^I  am  broken  with 
their  whorish  heart,  which  hath 
departed  from  me,  and  '‘with  their 
eyes,  which  go  a whoring  after 
their  idols:  and  *they  shall  lothe 
themselves  for  the  evils  which  they 
have  committed  in  all  their  abom- 
inations. 

10  And  they  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  and  that  I have  not 
said  in  vain  that  I would  do  this 
evil  unto  them. 

1 1 IT  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Smite  "with  thine  hand,  and  stamp 
with  thy  foot,  and  say,  Alas  for  all 
the  evil  abominations  of  the  house 
of  Is-ra-el ! ®for  they  shall  fall  by 
the  sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by 
the  pestilence. 

12  He  that  is  far  off  shall  die  of 
the  pestilence  ; and  he  that  is  near 
shall  fall  by  the  sword;  and  he  that 
remaineth  and  is  besieged  shall  die 
by  the  famine  : *thus  will  I accom- 
plish my  fury  upon  them. 

13  Then  “shall  ye  know  that  I am 
the  Lord,  when  their  ^ slain  men 
shall  be  among  their  idols  round 
about  their  altars,  ^upon  every  high 
hill,  *in  all  the  tops  of  the  moun- 
tains, and  “under  every  green  tree, 
and  under  every  thick  oak,  the 
place  where  they  did  offer  sweet 
savour  to  all  their  idols. 

14  So  will  I ''stretch  out  my  hand 
upon  them,  and  make  the  land  des- 
olate, yea,  ^more  desolate  than  the 
wilderness  toward  ‘'Dibdath,  in  all 
their  habitations : and  they  shall 
know  that  I am  the  Lord.

MOEEOVER  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying. 
2 Also,  thou  son  of  man,  thus  saitn 
the  Lord  God  unto  the  land  of  Is- 
ra-el  ; “An  end,  the  end  is  come 
upon  the  four  corners  of  the  land. 
3 Now  is  the  end  come  upon 
thee,  and  I will  send  mine  anger 
upon  thee,  and  will  judge  thee 
according  to  thy  ways,  and  will 
‘■'recompense  upon  thee  all  thine 
abominations. 

4 And  ''mine  eye  shall  not  spare 
thee,  neither  will  I have  pity:  but 
I will  recompense  thy  ways  upon 
thee,  and  thine  abominations  shall 
be  in  the  midst  of  thee:  ^and  ye 
shall  know  that  I am  the  Lord. 

5 Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  An 
evil,  an  only  evil,  behold,  is  come. 
6 An  end  is  come,  the  end  is  come : 
it  ^watcheth  for  thee ; behold,  it  is 
come. 

7  ^The  morning  is  come  unto  thee, 
O thou  that  dwellest  in  the  land : 
Ehe  time  is  come,  the  day  of  trou- 
ble is  near,  and  not  the  '^sounding 
again  of  the  mountains. 

8  Now  will  I shortly  'pour  out 
my  fury  upon  thee,  and  accomplish 
mine  anger  upon  thee : "‘and  I will 
judge  thee  according  to  thy  ways, 
and  will  recompense  thee  for  all 
thine  abominations. 

9  And  "inine  eye  shall  not  spare, 
neither  will  I have  pity  : I will 
recompense  ®thee  according  to  thy 
ways  and  thine  abominations  that 
are  in  the  midst  of  thee ; ^and  ye 
shall  know  that  I am  the  Lord 
that  smiteth. 

10  Behold  the  day,  behold,  it  is 
come  : "the  morning  is  gone  forth  ; 
the  rod  hath  blossomed,  pride  hath 
budded. 

1 1  * Violence  is  risen  up  into  a rod 
of  wickedness : none  of  them  shall 
remain,  nor  of  their  ® multitude, 
nor  of  any  of  J their’s : neither 
sJmll  there  he  wailing  for  them. 

12  The  time  is  come,  the  day 
draweth  near : let  not  the  buyer 
rejoice,  nor  the  seller  mourn  : for 
wrath  is  upon  all  the  multitude 
thereof. 

13  For  the  seller  shall  not  return 
to  that  which  is  sold,  ® although 
they  were  yet  alive : for  the  vision 
is  touching  the  whole  multitude 
thereof,  which  shall  not  return ; 
neither  shall  any  strengthen  him- 
self 'in  ‘■'the  iniquity  of  his  life. 

14  They  have  blown  the  trum- 
pet, even  to  make  all  ready ; but 
none  gqeth  to  the  battle : for  my 
wrath  is  upon  all  the  multitude 
thereof. 


The  various  idolatry 


EZEKIEL,  8.  'practised  in  Jerusalem, 


15  “The  sword  is  without,  and  the 
pestilence  and  the  famine  within : 
ne  that  is  in  the  field  shall  die 
with  the  sword  ; and  he  that  is  in 
the  city,  famine  and  pestilence  shall 
devour  him. 

16^  But  they  that  escape  of  them 
shall  escape,  and  shall  he  on  the 
mountains  like  doves  of  the  valleys, 
all  of  them  mourning,  every  one  for 
his  iniquity.  ^ ^ i 

1 7 All  ^ hands  shall  be  feeble,  and 
all  knees  shall  ^ be  weak  as  water. 

18  They  shall  also-^gird  themselves 
with  sackcloth,  and  horror  shall 
cover  them  ; and  shame  shall  he 
upon  all  faces,  and  baldness  upon 
afi  their  heads. 

19  They  shall  cast  their  silver  in 
the  streets,  and  their  gold  shall  be 

removed : their  * silver  and  their 
gold  shall  not  be  able  to  deliver 
them  in  the  day  of  the  wrath  of 
the  Lokd  : they  shall  not  satisfy 
their  souls,  neither  fill  their  bowels : 
^because  it  is  the  stumblingblock 
of  their  iniquity. 

20  U As  for  the  beauty  of  his 
ornament,  he  set  it  in  majesty: 
but  they  made  the  images  of  their 
abominations  and  of  their  detest- 
able things  therein : therefore  have 
I ^set  it  far  from  them. 

21  And  I will  give  it  into  the  hands 
of  the  strangers  for  a prey,  and  to 
the  wicked  of  the  earth  for  a spoil ; 
and  they  shall  pollute  it. 

22  My  face  will  I turn  also  from 
them,  and  they  shall  pollute  my 
secret  place:  for  the  ® robbers  shall 
enter  into  it,  and  defile  it. 

23  H Make  a chain : for  the  land 
is  full  of  bloody  crimes,  and  the 
city  is  full  of  violence. 

24  Wherefore  I will  bring  the 
worst  of  the  heathen,  and  they 
shall  possess  their  houses : I will 
also  make  the  pomp  of  the  strong 
to  cease  ; and  ® their  holy  places 
shall  be  defiled. 

25  ’Destruction  cometh;  and  they 
shall  seek  peace,  and  there  shall  he 
none. 

26  Mischief  shall  come  upon  mis- 
chief, and  rumour  shall  be  upon 
rumour*  ®then  shall  they  seek  a 
vision  01  the  prophet ; but  the  law 
shall  perish  from  the  priest,  and 
counsel  from  the  ancients. 

27  The  king  shall  mourn,  and  the 
prince  shall  be  clothed  with  desola- 
tion, and  the  hands  of  the  people  of 
the  land  shall  be  troubled : 1 will 
do  unto  them  after  their  way,  and 
® according  to  their  deserts  will  I 
judge  them:  and  they  shall  know 
that  I am  the  Lord.

CHAPTER  8. 

1 Ezekiel,  in  a vision  of  God  at  Jerusaleyn,  5 is  shewed  th{ 
image  of  jealousy,  7 the  chambers  of  imagery,  13  tftc 
mourners  for  Tammuz,  15  the  worshippers  towards  the 
sun.  18  God's  wrath  for  their  idolatry. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  sixth 
year,  in  the  sixth  month,  in  the 
fifth  day  of  the  month,  as  I sat  in 
mine  house,  and  Hhe  elders  of  Ju' 
dah  sat  before  me,  that  “"the  hand 
of  the  Lord  God  fell  there  upon 
me. 

2 ®Then  I beheld,  and  lo  a likeness 
as  the  appearance  of  fire  : from  the 
appearance  of  his  loins  even  down- 
ward, fire  ; and  from  his  loins  even 
upward,  as  the  appearance  of  bright- 
ness, ^as  the  colour  of  amber. 

3 And  he  '*put  forth  the  form  of 
an  hand,  and  took  me  bj^  a lock  of 
mine  head;  and  *the  spirit  lifted 
me  up  between  the  earth  and  , the 
heaven,  and  ^brought  me  in  the 
visions  of  God  to  J 6-ru-sa-lem,  to 
the  door  of  the  inner  gate  that  look- 
eth  toward  the  north ; ""where  was 
the  seat  of  the  image  of  jealousy, 
which  "provoketh  to  jealousy. 

4 And,  behold,  the  glory  of  the 
God  of  Isba-el  was  there,  accord- 
ing to  the  vision  that  I "saw  in 
the  plain. 

5 ^ Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son  or 
man,  lift  up  thine  eyes  now  the 
way  toward  the  north.  So  I lifted 
up  mine  eves  the  way  toward  the 
north,  and  behold  northward  at 
the  gate  of  the  altar  this  image  of 
jealousy  in  the  entry. 

6 He  said  furthermore  unto  me. 
Son  of  man,  seest  thou  what  they 
dol  even  the  great  abominations 
that  the  house  of  Isba-el  commit- 
teth  here,  that  I should  go  far  off 
from  my  sanctuary  % but  turn  thee 
yet  again,  ctTid  thou  shalt  see  greater 
abominations. 

7 H And  he  brought  me  to  the  door 
of  the  court ; and  when  I looked, 
behold  a hole  in  the  wall. 

8 Then  said  he  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  dig  now  in  the  wall : and 
when  I had  digged  in  the  wall, 
behold  a door. 

9 And  he  said  unto  me.  Go  in, 
and  behold  the  wicked  abomina- 
tions that  thej^  do  here. 

10  So  I went  in  and  saw ; and  be- 
hold every  form  of  creeping  things, 
and  abominable  beasts^  and  all  the 
idols  of  the  house  of  Is-ra-el,  pour- 
trayed  upon  the  wall  round  about. 

11  And  there  stood  before  them 
seventy  men  of  the  ancients  of  the 
house  of  Is-ra-6l,  and  in  the  midst 
of  them  stood  Ja-az-a-ni-ah  the  son 
of  Sha-phan,  with  every  man  his 


Destruction  of  idolaters.  EZEKIEL,  9,  10.  Vision  of  the  coals  of  fire  ^ 


censer  in  his  hand ; and  a thick 
cloud  of  incense  went  up. 

12  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son  of 
man,  hast  thou  seen  what  the  an- 
cients of  the  house  of  Is-ra-6l  do  in 
the  dark,  every  man  in  the  cham- 
bers of  his  imagery?  for  they  say, 
"The  Lord  seeth  us  not ; the  Lord 
hath  forsaken  the  earth. 

13  ^ He  said  also  unto  me.  Turn 
thee  yet  again,  and  thou  shalt  see 
greater  abominations  that  they  do. 

14  Then  he  brought  me  to  the  door 
of  the  gate  of  the  Lord’s  house 
which  was  toward  the  north ; and, 
behold,  there  sat  women  weeping 
for  Tam-muz. 

15  H Then  said  he  unto  me.  Hast 
thou  seen  this,  O son  of  man  ? turn 
thee  yet  again,  and  thou  shalt  see

16  And  he  brought  me  into  the 
inner  court  of  the  Lord’s  house, 
and,  behold,  at  the  door  of  the 
temple  of  the  Lord,  * between  the 

gorch  and  the  altar,  ^were  about 
ve  and  twenty  men,  ^with  their 
backs  toward  the  temple  of  the 
Lord,  and  their  faces  toward  the 
east ; and  they  worshipped  ”the  sun 
toward  the  east. 

17  ^ Then  he  said  unto  me.  Hast 
thou  seen  ^/m,  O son  of  man?  ^Is  it 
a light  thing  to  the  house  of  Ju-dah 
that  they  commit  the  abominations 
which  they  commit  here  ? for  they 
have  ^filled  the  land  with  violence, 
and  have  returned  to  provoke  me 
to  anger : and,  lo,  they  put  the 
branch  to  their  nose. 

18  ^Therefore  will  I also  deal  in 
fury : mine  ^eye  shall  not  spare,  nei- 
ther will  I have  pity : and  though 
they  *cry  in  mine  ears  with  a loud 
voice,  yet  will  I not  hear  them.

4 And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
Go  through  the  midst  of  the  city, 
through  the  midst  of  JAru-sa-lem, 
and  ^set  “a  mark  u^ion  the  foreheads 
of  the  men  "that  sigh  and  that  cry 
for  all  the  abominations  that  be 
done  in  the  midst  thereof. 

5 II  And  to  the  others  he  said  in 
^mine  hearing.  Go  ye  after  him 
through  the  city,  and  smite:  ‘^let 
not  your  eye  spare,  neither  have 
ye  pity : 

6 "Slay  ^utterly  old  and  young, 
both  maids,  and  little  children,  and 
women : but  -^coine  not  near  any 
man  upon  whom  is  the  mark  ; and 
^ begin  at  my  sanctuary.  ^Then 
they  began  at  the  ancient  men 
which  were  before  the  house. 

7 And  he  said  unto  them.  Defile 
the  house,  and  fill  the  courts  with 
the  slain : go  ye  forth.  And  they 
went  forth,  and  slew  in  the  city. 

8 U And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
they  were  slaying  them,  and  I was 
left,  that  I ""fell  upon  my  face,  and 
cried,  and  said,  "Ah  Lord  God  ! wilt 
thou  destroy  all  the  residue  of  Is- 
ra-6l  in  thy  jiouring  out  of  thy  fury 
upon  JAru-sa-lem? 

9 Then  said  he  unto  me.  The  in- 
iquity of  the  house  of  Is-ra-el  and 
Ju-dah  is  exceeding  great,  and  ^the 
land  is  ^full  of  blood,  and  the  city 
full  of  ® perverseness  : for  they  say, 
’’The  Lord  hadh  forsaken  the  earth, 
and  "the  Lord  seeth  not. 

10  And  as  for  me  also,  mine  ^‘eye 
shall  not  spare,  neither  will  I have 
pity,  hut  will  recompense  their 
way  upon  their  head. 

11  And,  behold,  the  man  clothed 
with  linen,  which  had  the  inkhorn 
by  his  side,  ’reported  the  matter, 
saying,  I have  done  as  thou  hast 
commanded  me. 


He  cried  also  in  mine  ears  with 
a loud  voice,  saying.  Cause 
them  that  have  charge  over  the  city 
to  draw  near,  even  every  man  with 
his  destroying  weapon  in  his  hand. 
2 And,  behold,  six  men  came  from 
the  way  of  the  higher  gate,  ® which 
lieth  toward  the  north,  and  every 
man  ^a  slaughter  weapon  in  his 
hand;  *and  one  man  among  them 
was  clothed  with  linen,  with  a 
writer’s  inkhorn  ’by  his  side:  and 
they  went  in,  and  stood  beside  the 
brasen  altar. 

3 And  "the  glory  of  the  God  of

Then  I looked,  and,  behold,  in 
the  “firmament  that  was  above 
the  head  of  the  cher-ii-bims  there 
appeared  over  them  as  it  were  a 
sapphire  stone,  as  the  appearance 
of  the  likeness  of  a throne.

house;  and  Hhe  house  was  filled 
with  the  cloud,  and  the  court  was 
full  of  the  brigntness  of  the  Lord  s 
glory. 

5 And  the  •''sound  of  the  cher-u- 
bims’  wings  was  heard  even  to  the 
outer  court,  as  ^the  voice  of  the 
Almighty  God  when  he  speaketh. 

6 And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
he  had  commanded  the  man  clothed 
with  linen,  saying.  Take  fire  from 
between  the  wheels,  from  between 
the  cher-fi-bims ; then  he  went  in, 
and  stood  beside  the  wheels, 

7 And  one  cher-ub  ^stretched  forth 
his  hand  from  between  the  cher- 
a-bims  unto  the  fire  that  was  be-

thereof  and  put  it  into  the  hands 
of  him  that  was  clothed  with  linen : 
who  took  it,  and  went  out.

the  city. 

Moreover  ’■the  spirit  lifted 

me  up,  and  brought  me  unto 
® the  east  gate  of  the  Lord’s  house, 
which  looketh  eastward:  and  be- 
hold *at  the  door  of  the  gate  five 
and  twenty  men;  among  whom  I 
saw  Ja-az-a-ni-ah  the  son  of  A-ztir, 
and  P6l-a-ti-ah  the  son  of  Be-na-jah, 
princes  of  the  people. 

2  Then  said  ne  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  these  are  the  men  that  devise 
mischief,  and  give  wicked  counsel 
in  this  city: 

3  Which  say,  ^ It  is  not  ^ near ; let 
us  build  houses:  Hhis  city  is  the 
caldron,  and  we  he  the  flesh. 

4  H Therefore  prophesy  against 
them,  prophesy,  O son  of  man. 

5  And  * the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  fell 
upon  me,  and  said  unto  me.  Speak  ; 
Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Thus  have 
ye  said,  O house  of  Is-ra-el : for  I 
know  the  things  that  come  into 
your  mind,  every  qne^  of  them. 

6  ‘^Ye  have  multiplied  your  slain 
in  this  city,  and  ye  have  filled  the 
streets  thereof  with  the  slain. 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  •''Your  slain  whom  ye  have 
laid  in  the  midst  of  it,  they  are  the

8 Ye  have  feared  the  sword ; and 
I will  bring  a sword  upon  you,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

9 And  I will  bring  you  out  of  the 
midst  thereof,  and  deliver  you  into 
the  hands  of  strangers,  and  ®will 
execute  judgments  among  you. 

10  Ye  shall  fall  by  the  sword ; I 
will  judge  you  in  Hhe  border  of 
ls-ra-6l ; ^and  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord. 

11  *This  city  shall  not  be  your  cal- 
dron, neither  shall  ye  be  the  flesh 
in  the  midst  thereof ; but  I will 
judge  you  in  the  border  of  Is-ra-el : 

12  And  ""ye  shall  know  that  I am 
the  Lord  : ^for  ye  have  not  walked 
in  my  statutes,  neither  executed 
my  judgments,  but  ”have  done  after 
the  manners  of  the  heathen  that 
are  round  about  you. 

13  H And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
I prophesied,  that  ® P6l-a-ti-ah  the 
son  of  Bc-na^ah  died.  Then  ^fell 
I down  upon  my  face,  and  cried 
with  a loud  voice,  and  said.  Ah 
Lord  God  ! wilt  thou  make  a full 
end  of  the  remnant  of  Is-ra-el*? 

14  Again  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

15  Son  of  man,  thy  brethren, 
even  thy  brethren,  the  men  of  thy 
kindred,  and  all  the  house  of  Is- 
ra-6l  wholly,  are  they  unto  whom 
the  inhabitants  of  J e-ru-sd-lem  have 
said.  Get  you  far  from  the  Lord  : 
unto  us  is  this  land  given  in  pos- 
session. 

16  Therefore  say.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Although  I have  cast 
them  far  off  among  the  heathen, 
and  although  I have  scattered  them 
among  the  countries,  *yet  will  I be 
to  them  as  a little  sanctuary  in  the 
countries  where  they  shall  come. 

17  Therefore  say.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ; “I  will  even  gather  you 
from  the  people,  and  assemble  you 
out  of  the  countries  where  ye  have 
been  scattered,  and  I will  give  you 
the  land  of  Is-ra-6l. 

18  And  they  shall  come  thither, 
and  ^they  shall  take  away  all  the 
detestable  things  thereof  and  all 
the  abominations  thereof  from 
thence. 

1 9 And^I  will  give  them  one  heart, 
and  I will  put  *a  new  spirit  with- 
in you ; and  I will  take  the  stony 
heart  out  of  their  flesh,  and  will 
give  them  an  heart  of  flesh 

20  ^That  they  may  walk  in  my 
statutes,  and  keep  mine  ordinances, 
and  do  them  : ‘^and  they  shall  be  my

detestable  things  and  their  abom- 

inations, will  recompense  their 
way  upon  their  own  heads,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

22  II  Then  did  the  cher-U-bims  *’lift 
up  their  wings,  and  the  wheels  be- 
side them ; and  the  glory  of  the  God 
of  Is-ra-6l  was  over  them  above. 

23  And  -^the  glory  of  the  Lord  went 
up  from  the  midst  of  the  city,  and 
stood  ^upon  the  mountain  * which 
is  on  the  east  side  of  the  city. 

24 II  Afterwards  * the  spirit  took  me 
up,  and  brought  me  in  a vision  by 
the  Spirit  of  God  into  -Ghal-de-a,  to 
them  of  the  captivity.  So  the  vision 
that  I had  seen  went  up  from  me. 

25  Then  I spake  unto  them  of  the 
captivity  all  the  things  that  the 
Lord  had  shewed  me. 


CHAPTEB  12. 

1 The  type  of  Ezekiel's  removing,  8 sheweth  the  captivity 
of  Zedekiah.  17  Ezekiel's  trembling  sheweth  the  Jews’ 
desolation.  21  Their  presumptuous  proverb.  26  Speedi- 
ness of  the  vision. 

The  word  of  the  Lord  also  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man.  thou  dwellest  in  the 
midst  of  ®a  rebellious  house,  which 
’‘have  eyes  to  see,  and  see  not;  they 
have  ears  to  hear,  and  hear  not: 
*for  they  are  a rebellious  house. 

3  Therefore,  thou  son  of  man,  pre- 
pare tbee  ^ stuff  for  removing,  and 
remove  by  day  in  their  sight ; and 
thou  shalt  remove  from  thy  place 
to  another  place  in  their  sight : it 
may  be  they  will  consider,  though 
they  he  a rebellious  house. 

4  Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth  thy 
stuff  by  day  in  their  sight,  as  stuff 
for  removing : and  thou  shalt  go 
forth  at  even  in  their  sight,  ®as  they 
that  go  forth  into  captivity. 

5  ^Dig  thou  through  the  wall  in 
their  sight,  and  carry  out  thereby. 
6 In  their  sight  shalt  thou  bear 
it  upon  thy  shoulders,  and  carry  it 
forth  in  the  twilight:  thou  shalt 
cover  thy  face,  that  thou  see  not 
the  ground : *for  I have  set  thee  for 
a sign  unto  the  house  of  Is-ra-el. 

7  And  I did  so  as  I was  com- 
manded : I brought  forth  my  stuff 
by  day,  as  stuff  for  captivity,  and 
in  the  even  I ® digged  through  the 
wall  with  mine  hand  ; I brought  it 
forth  in  the  twilight,  arid  I bare  it 
upon  my  shoulder  in  their  sight. 

8  U And  in  the  morning  came  the 
word  of  the  Lord  unto  me,  saving, 

9  Son  of  man,  hath  not  the  house 
of  Is-ra-6l,  "the  rebellious  house, 
said  unto  thee,  *What  doest  thou*? 

10  Say  thou  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  ; This  / burden 
concemeth  the  prince  in  Je-ru-s&- 


The  Jews'  desolation. 

16m,  and  all  the  house  of  I§-ra-6l 
that  are  among  them. 

11  Say,  *'1  am  your  sign  : like  as  1 
have  done,  so  shall  it  be  done  unto 
them : ‘^they^  shall  remove  and  go 
into  captivity.  , 

12  And  ^the  prince  that  is  among 
them  shall  bear  upon  his  shoulder 
in  the  twilight,  and  shall  go  forth  : 
they  shall  dig  through  the  wall  to 
carry  out  thereby : he  shall  cover 
his  face,  that  he  see  not  the  ground 
with  his  eyes. 

13  My  ^net  also  will  I spread  upon 
him,  and  he  shall  be  tahen  in  mjr 
snare  : and  will  bring  him  to  Bab- 
y-l6n  to  the  land  of  the  hJhal-de-ans ; 
yet  shall  he  not  see  it,  though  he 
shall  die  there. 

1 4 And  ’"I  will  scatter  toward  every 
wind  all  that  are  about  him  to  help 
him,  and  all  his  bands  ; and  ” I will 
draw  out  the  sword  after  them. 

15  "And  they  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  when  I shall  scatter 
them  among  the  nations,  and  dis- 
perse them  in  the  countries. 

16  ^But  I will  leave  ‘^a  few  men 
of  them  from  the  sword,  from  the 
famine,  and  from  the  pestilence; 
that  they  may  declare  all  their  a- 
bominations  among  the  heathen 
whither  they  come ; and  they  shall 
know  that  1 am  the  Lord. 

17  U Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  *eat  thy  bread 
with  quaking,  and  drink  thy  water 
with  trembling  and  with  careful- 
ness ; 

19  And  say  unto  the  people  of  the 
land.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
the  inhabitants  of  J e-ru-sa-lem,  and 
of  the  land  of  IsAa-el ; They  shall 
eat  their  bread  with  carefulness, 
and  drink  their  water  with  aston- 
ishment, that  her  land  may  ^be 
desolate  from  ®all  that  is  therein, 
* because  of  the  violence  of  all  them 
that  dwell  therein. 

20  And  the  cities  that  are  inhabited 
shall  he  laid  waste,  and  the  land 
shall  be  desolate ; and  ye  shall  know 
that  I am  the  Lord. 

21  U And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

22  Son  of  man,  what  is  that  pro- 
verb that  ye  have  in  the  land  of 
I§Aa-6l,  saying,  “The  days  are  pro- 
longed, and  every  vision  faileth  1 

23  Tell  them  therefore.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  ; I will  make  this 
proverb  to  cease,  and  they  shall 
no  more  use  it  as  a proverb  in 
lsAa-6l ; but  say  unto  them,  ® The 
days  are  at  hand,  and  the  effect  of 
every  vision.

24  For  “there  shall  be  no  more 
any  ^ vain  vision  nor  flattering  div- 
ination within  the  house  of  I§Aa-el. 

25  For  1 am  the  Lord:  I will 
speak,  and  Hhe  word  that  I shall 
speak  shall  come  to  pass ; it  shall 
be  no  more  prolonged : for  in  your 
days,  O rebellious  house,  will  I say 
the  word,  and  will  perform  it,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

26  H Again  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  me,  saying, 

27  ^Son  of  man,  behold,  they  o/  the 
house  of  IsAa-el  say.  The  vision  that 
he  seeth  is  Tor  many  days  to  come, 
and  he  prophesieth  of  the  times 
that  are  far  off. 

28  'Therefore  say  unto  them. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  • There 
shall  none  of  my  words  be  pro- 
longed any  more,  but  the  word 
which  I have  spoken  shall  be  done, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  13. 

1 Reproof  of  lying  prophets,  10  and  their  untempered 
morter.  17  Of  prophetesses  and  their  pillows. 

ND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 


A 


2 Son  of  man,  prophesy  against 
the  prophets  of  I§Aa-el  that  pro- 
phesy, and  say  thou  unto  ^them^ 
that  prophesy  out  of  their  own 
''hearts.  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the 
Lord  ; 

3 Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; Woe 
unto  the  foolish  prophets,  that  ^fol- 
low their  own  spirit,  ^and  have  seen 
nothing! 

4 O IsAa-el,  thy  prophets  are  Tike 
the  foxes  in  the  deserts. 

5 Ye  “have  not  gone  up  into  the 
®gaps,  neither  ^made  up  the  hedge 
for  the  house  of  IsAa-el  to  stand  in 
the  battle  in  the  day  of  the  Lord. 

6 *They  have  seen  vanity  and  lying 
divination,  saying.  The  Lord  saith : 
and  the  Lord  hath  not  sent  them  : 
and  they  have  made  others  to  hope 
that  they  would  confirm  the  word. 

7 Have  ye  not  seen  a vain  vision, 
and  have  ye  not  spoken  a lying  div- 
ination, whereas  ye  say.  The  Lord 
saith  it ; albeit  I have  not  spoken '? 

8 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God: 
Because  ye  have  spoken  vanity,  and 
seen  lies,  therefore,  behold,  I am 
against  you,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

9 And  mine  hand  shall  be  upon 
the  prophets  that  see  vanity,  and 
that  divine  lies : they  shall  not  be 
in  the  ^assembly  of  my  people, 
''neither  shall  they  be  written  in 
the  writing  of  the  house  of  tsAa-6l, 
‘'neither  shall  they  enter  into  the 
land  of  IsAa-6l;  "and  ye  shall  know 
I that  1 am  the  Lord  God. 


FaUe  prophets  reproved. 


EZEKIEL,  14. 


Idolaters  are  reproved. 


10  H Because,  even  because  they 
have  seduced  my  people,  saying, 
“Peace ; and  there  was  no  peace ; and 
one  built  up  ^a  wall,  and,  lo,  others 
‘'daubed  it  with  untempered  morter  : 

11  Say  unto  them  which  daub  it 
with  untempered  morter^  that  it 
shall  fall : ‘'there  shall  be  an  over- 
flowing shower ; and  ye,  O great 
hailstones,  shall  fall ; and  a stormy 
wind  shall  rend  it. 

12  Lo,  when  the  wall  is  fallen, 
shall  it  not  be  said  unto  you.  Where 
is  the  daubing  wherewith  ye  have 
daubed  it  ? 

1 3 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; I will  even  rend  it  with  a 
stormy  wind  in  my  fury ; and  there 
shall  be  an  overflowing  shower  in 
mine  anger,  and  great  hailstones  in 
my  fury  to  consume  it. 

14  So  will  I break  down  the  wall 
that  ye  have  daubed  with  untem- 
pered morter,  and  bring  it  down  to 
the  ground,  so  that  the  foundation 
thereof  shall  be  discovered,  and  it 
shall  fall,  and  ye  shall  be  consumed 
in  the  midst  thereof  : 'and  ye  shall 
know  that  I am  the  Lord. 

15  Thus  will  I accomplish  my 

wrath  upon  the  wall,  and  upon  them 
that  have  daubed  it  with  untem- 
pered morter,  and  will  say  unto  you. 
The  wall  is  no  more,  neither  they 
that  daubed  it ; ^ _ 

IQ  To  wit,  the  prophets  of  Is-ra-el 
which  prophesy  concerning  Je-ru- 
sa-lem,  and  which  ’^see  visions  of 
peace  for  her,  and  there  is  no  peace, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

17  U Likewise,  thou  son  of  man, 
set  thy  face  against  the  daughters 

of  thy  people,  ‘’which  prophesy  out 
of  their  own  heart;  and  prophesy 
thou  against  them, 

18  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Woe  to  the  women  that  sew 
pillows  to  all  '^armholes,  and  make 
kerchiefs  upon  the  head  of  every 
stature  to  hunt  souls ! Will  ye 
^hunt  the  souls  of  my  people,  and 
will  ye  save  the  souls  alive  that 
come  unto  youl 

19  And  will  ye  pollute  me  among 
my  people  ^for  handfuls  of  barley 
and  for  pieces  of  bread,  to  slay  the 
souls  that  should  not  die,  and  to 
save  the  souls  alive  that  should  not 
live,  by  your  lying  to  my  people 
that  hear  your  lies  1 

20  Wherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Behold,  I am  against  your 
pillows,  wherewith  ye  there  hunt 
the  souls  ®to  make  them  fly,  and  I 
will  tear  them  from  your  arms,  and 
will  let  the  souls  go,  even  the  souls 
that  ye  hunt  to  make  them  fly.

CHAPTER  14. 

1 6od  a'nswereth  idolaters  according  to  their  own  heart. 
6 They  are  exhorted  to  repent,  by  means  of  seduced  pro- 
phets. 12  God's  irrevocable  sentence  of  famine,  15  of 
noisome  beasts,  17  of  the  sword,  19  and  of  pestilence. 
22  A remnant  shall  be  reserved. 

Then  '^came  certain  of  the  elders 
of  Is-r4-el  unto  me,  and  sat  be- 
fore me. 

2 And  the  word  Of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

3 Son  of  man,  these  men  have  set 
up  their  idols  in  their  heart,  and 
put  Hhe  stumblingblock  of  their 
iniquity  before  their  face:  'should 
I be  enquired  of  at  all  by  them  1 
4 Therefore  speak  unto  them,  and 
say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Every  man  of  the  house  of 
IsYa-6l  that  setteth  up  his  idols  in 
his  heart,  and  putteth  the  stum- 
blingblock of  his  iniquity  before 
his  face,  and  cometh  to  the  prophet ; 
I the  Lord  will  answer  Him  that 
cometh  according  to  the  multitude 
of  his  idols ; 

5 That  I may  take  the  house  of 
IsYa-el  in  their  own  heart,  because 
they  are  all  estranged  from  me 
through  their  idols. 

6 ^ Therefore  say  unto  the  house  of 
Is-ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Repent,  and  turn  ^yourselves  from 
your  idols ; and  turn  away  your 
faces  from  all  your  abominations. 
7 For  every  one  of  the  house  of 
Is-ra-el,  or  of  the  stranger  that  so- 
journeth  in  IsYa-el,  which  separat- 
eth  himself  from  me,  and  setteth 
up  his  idols  in  his  heart,  and  put- 
teth  the  stumblingblock  of  his  in- 
iquity before  his  face,  and  cometh 
to  a prophet  to  enquire  of  him  con- 
cerning me;  I the  Lord  will  answer 
him  by  myself : 

8 And  ’*1  will  set  my  face  against 
that  man,  and  will  make  him  a *sign 
and  a proverb,  and  I will  cut  him 
off  from  the  midst  of  my  people; 
'and  ye  shall  know  that  I am  the 
Lord. 

9 And  if  the  prophet  be  deceived 


The  judgments  of  God. 


when  he  hath  spoken  a thing,  I the 
Lord  *have  deceived  that  prophet, 
and  I will  stretch  out  my  hand  up- 
on him,  and  will  destroy  him  from 
the  midst  of  my  people  ls-ra-6l.  , 
shi 


10  And  they  shall  bear  the  punish- 
ment of  their  iniquity  : the  punish- 
ment of  the  prophet  shall  be  even 
as  the  punishment  of  him  that 
seeketh  unto  him; 

11  That  the  house  of  Is-ra-6l  ,may 
‘^go  no  more  astray  from  me,  neither 
be  polluted  any  more  with  all  their 
transgressions ; ® but  that  they  may 
be  my  people,  and  I may  be  their 
God,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

12  H The  word  of  the  Lord  came 
again  to  me,  saying, 

13  Son  of  man,  when  the  land 
sinneth  against  me  by  trespassing 
grievously,  then  will  I stretch  out 
mine  hand,  upon  it,  and  will  break 
the  staff  of  the  bread  thereof,  and 
will  send  famine  upon  it,  and  will 
cut  off  man  and  beast  from  it : 

14  Though  these  three  men, 
No-ah,  Danhel,  and  Job,  were  in  it, 
they  should  deliver  but  their  own 
souls  * by  their  righteousness,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

15  H If  I cause  ^noisome  beasts 
to  pass  through  the  land,  and  they 
- spoil  it,  so  that  it  be  desolate,  that 
Qo  man  may  pass  through  because 
of  the  beasts : 

16  Though  these  three  men  were 
‘ in  it,  as  I live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
they  shall  deliver  neither  sons  nor 
daughters ; they  only  shall  be  de- 
livered, but  the  land  shall  be  deso- 
late. 

17  H Or  7/”  I bring  a sword  upon 
that  land,  and  say.  Sword,  go 
through  the  land  ; so  that  I ® cut  off 
man  and  beast  from  it : 

18  * Though  these  three  men  were 
in  it,  as  I live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
they  shall  deliver  neither  sons  nor 
daughters,  but  they  only  shall  be 
delivered  themselves. 

19  H Or  I send  ‘a  pestilence  into 
that  land,  and  “pour  out  my  fury 
upon  it  in  blood,  to  cut  off  from  it

CHAPTER  15. 

The  rejection  of  Jerusalem  foreshewn. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

2 Son  of  man.  What  is  the  vine 
tree  more  than  any  tree,  or  than  a 
branch  which  is  among  the  trees  of 
the  forest  % 

3 Shall  wood  be  taken  thereof  to 
do  any  work'^  or  will  men  take  a pin 
of  it  to  hang  any  vessel  thereon  ^ 

4 Behold,  Tt  is  cast  into  the  fire  for 
fuel;  the  fire  devoureth  both  the 
ends  of  it,  and  the  midst  of  it  is 
burned.  ^ Is  it  meet  for  any  work  % 

5 Behold,  when  it  was  whole,  it 
was  ^ meet  for  no  work  : how  much 
less  shall  it  be  meet  yet  for  any 
work,  when  the  fire  hath  devoured 
it,  and  it  is  burned  1 

6 H Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; As  the  vine  tree  among  the 
trees  of  the  forest,  which  I have 
given  to  the  fire  for  fuel,  so  will  I 
give  the  inhabitants  of  Jo-ru-sa-lem. 

7 And  " I will  set  my  face  against 
them  ; ^ they  shall  go  out  from  one 
fire,  and  another  fire  shall  devour 
them ; and  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  when  I set  my  face 
against  them. 

8 And  I will  make  the  land  deso- 
late, because  they  have  ® committed 
a trespass,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  16. 

1 Under  the  similitude  of  a wretched  infant  is  shewed  the 
natural  state  of  Jerusalem.  6 God's  extraordinary  love 
towards  her.  44  Her  sin,  exceeding  that  of  Sodom  and 
Samaria,  calleth  for  judgments.  60  Mercy  is  promised 
her  in  the  end. 

AGAIN  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying,  . 

2 Son  of  man,  ^ cause  J Aru-sa-l6m 
to  know  her  abominations, 

3 And  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  unto  Je-ru-sa-lgm  ; Thy  ’ birth 
“and  thy  nativity  is  of  the  land  of 
Ca-naan ; * thy  father  ivas  an  Am- 
6r-Ite,  and  thy  mother  an  Hit-tite. 

I 4 And  as  for  thy  nativity,  in  the 
•day  thou  wast  born  thy  navel  was

not  cut,  neither  wast  thou  washed 
in  water  ^ to  supple  thee ; thou  wast 
not  salted  at  all,  nor  swaddled  at  all. 

5 None  eye  pitied  thee,  to  do  any 
of  these  unto  thee,  to  have  compas- 
sion upon  thee ; but  thou  wast  cast 
out  in  the  open  field,  to  the  lothing 
of  thy  person,  in  the  day  that  thou 
wast  born. 

6 U And  when  I passed  by  thee, 
and  saw  thee  ^ polluted  in  thine  own 
blood,  I said  unto  thee  when  thou 
wast  in  thy  blood.  Live  ; yea,  1 said 
unto  thee  when  thou  wast  in  thy 
blood,  Live. 

7 have  ^caused  thee  to  multiply 
as  the  bud  of  the  field,  and  thou 
hast  increased  and  waxen  great,  and 
thou  art  come  to  ® excellent  orna- 
ments : thy  breasts  are  fashioned, 
and  thine  hair  is  grown,  whereas 
thou  wast  naked  and  bare. 

8 Now  when  I passed  by  thee,  and 
looked  upon  thee,  behold,  thy  time 
was  the  time  of  love ; and  I spread 
my  skirt  over  thee,  and  covered  thy 
nakedness  : yea,  I sware  unto  thee, 
and  entered  into  a covenant  with 
thee,  saith  the  Lord  God,  and  ^thou 
becamest  mine. 

9 Then  washed  I thee  with  water  ; 
yea,  I throughly  washed  away  thy 
^ blood  from  thee,  and  I anointed 
thee  with  oil. 

10  1 clothed  thee  also  with  broid- 
ered  work,  and  shod  thee  with 
badgers’  skin,  and  I girded  thee 
about  with  fine  linen,  and  I covered 
thee  with  silk. 

11  I decked  thee  also  with  orna- 
ments, and  I '’  put  bracelets  upon 
thy  hands,  *and  a chain  on  thy 
neck. 

12  And  I put  a jewel  on  thy  ^fore- 
head, and  earrings  in  thine  ears,  and 
a beautiful  crown  upon  thine  head. 

13  Thus  wast  thou  decked  with 
gold  and  silver;  and  thy  raiment 
was  of  fine  linen,  and  silk,  and 
broidered  work ; thou  didst  eat 
fine  flour,  and  honey,  and  oil : and 
thou  wast  exceeding” beautiful,  and 
thou  didst  prosper  into  a kingdom. 

14  And  ®thy  renown  went  forth 
among  the  heathen  for  thy  beauty  : 
for  it  was  perfect  through  my 
comeliness,  which  I had  put  upon 
thee,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  ^ «But  thou  didst  trust  in  thine 
own  beauty,  * and  playedst  the  har- 
lot because  of  thy  renown,  and 
pouredst  out  thy  fornications  on 
every  one  that  passed  by ; his  it 
was. 

16  *And  of  thy  garments  thou 
didst  take,  and  deckedst  thy  high 
places  with  divers  colours,  and

playedst  the  harlot  thereupon : the 
like  things  shall  not  come,  neither 
shall  it  be  so. 

17  Thou  hast  also  taken  thy  fair 
jewels  of  my  gold  and  of  my  silver, 
which  I had  given  thee,  and  madest 
to  thyself  images  ^of  men,  and  didst 
commit  whoredom  with  them, 

18  And  tookest  thy  broidered  gar- 
ments, and  coveredst  them : and 
thou  hast  set  mine  oil  and  mine 
incense  before  them. 

19  “My  meat  also  which  I gave 
thee,  fine  flour,  and  oil,  and  honey, 
wherewith  I fed  thee,  thou  hast 
even  set  it  before  them  for  ®a  sweet 
savour : and  thus  it  was,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

20  ® Moreover  thou  hast  taken  thy 
sons  and  thy  daughters,  whom  thou 
hast  borne  unto  me,  and  these  hast 
thou  sacrificed  unto  them  ''to  be  de- 
voured. Is  this  of  thy  whoredoms 
a small  matter, 

21  That  thou  hast  slain  my  chil- 
dren, and  delivered  them  to  cause 
them  to  pass  through  the  fire  for 
them  1 

22  And  in  all  thine  abominations 
and  thy  whoredoms  thou  hast  not 
remembered  the  days  of  thy  •''youth, 
when  thou  wast  naked  and  bare, 
and  wast  polluted  in  thy  blood. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  after  all 
thy  wickedness,  (woe,  woe  unto 
thee  ! saith  the  Lord  God  ;) 

24  That  thou  hast  also  built  unto 
thee  an  ® eminent  place,  and  ^hast 
made  thee  an  high  place  in  every 
street. 

25  Thou  hast  built  thy  high  place 
*at  every  head  of  the  way,  ancThast 
made  thy  beauty  to  be  abhorred, 
and  hast  opened  thy  feet  to  every 
one  that  passed  by,  and  multiplied 
thy  whoredoms. 

26  Thou  hast  also  committed  for- 
nication with  ' the  E-gyp-tians  thy 
neighbours,  great  of  flesh  ; and  hast 
increased  thy  whoredoms,  to  pro- 
voke me  to  anger. 

27  Behold,  therefore  I have  stretch- 
ed out  my  hand  over  thee,  and  have 
diminished  thine  ordinary  food,  and 
delivered  thee  unto  the  will  of  them 
that  hate  thee,  ^the  ^daughters  of 
the  Phi-lis-tines,  which  are  ashamed 
of  thy  lewd  way. 

28  ^Thou  hast  played  the  whore 
also  with  the  As-syr-i-ans,  because 
thou  wast  unsatiable  yea, thou  hast 
played  the  harlot  with  them,  and 
yet  couldest  not  be  satisfied.^ 

29  Thou  hast  moreover  multiplied 
thy  fornication  in  the  land  of  •Ca- 
naan “unto  -ChM-de-a ; and  yet  thou 
wast  not  satisfied  herewith. 


God  threateneth  Jerusalem 


EZEKIEL,  16. 


with  grievous  judgments. 


- 30  How  weak  is  thine  heart,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  seeing  thou  doest  ail 
these  things,  work  ot  an  im- 
perious whorish  wornan  ; 

31  Hn  that  *_thou  buildest  thine 
eminent  place  in  the  head  of  every 
way,  and  makest  thine  high  place 
in  every  street ; and  hast  not  been 
as  an  harlot,  in  that  thou  scornest 

^32^  'But  as  a wife  that  committeth 
adultery,  which  taketh  strangers 
instead  of  her  husband! 

33  They  give  gifts  to  all  chores: 

but  Hhou  givest  thy  gifts  to  all  thy 
lovers,  and  ‘^hirest  them,  that  they 
may  come  unto  thee  on  every  side 
for  thy  whoredom.  . . 

34  And  the  contrary  is  in  thee 
from  other  women  in  thy  whore- 
doms, whereas  none  followeth  thee 
to  commit  whoredoms  ; and  in  that 
thou  givest  a reward,  and  no  reward 
is  given  unto  thee,  therefore  thou 
art  contrary. 

35  H Wherefore,  O harlot,  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lord  : 

36  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; Be- 

cause thy  filthiness  was  poured 
out,  and  thy  nakedness  discovered 
through  thy  whoredoms  with  thy 
lovers,  and  with  all  the  idols  oi  thy 
abominations,  and  by  ''the  blood  ot 
thy  children,  which  thou  didst  give 
unto  them ; , 

37  Behold,  therefore  H will  gather 

all  thy  lovers,  with  whom  thou  hast 
taken  pleasure,  and  all  them  that 
thou  hast  loved,  with  all  them  that 
thou  hast  hated  ; I will  even  gather 
them  round  about  against  thee,  and 
will  discover  thy  nakedness  ur^o 
them,  that  they  may  see  all  thy 
nakedness.  . , . , 

38  And  I will  judge  thee,  as 

"women  that  break  wedlock  and 
‘’shed  blood  are  judged;  and  i 
will  give  thee  blood  in  fury  and 
jealousy.  , . . . , 

39  And  I will  also  give  thee  into 
their  hand,  and  they  shall  throw 
down  thine  eminent  place,  and  shall 
break  down  thy  high  places  ; ’‘they 
shall  strip  thee  also  of  thy  clothes, 
and  shall  take  Hhy  fair  jewels,  and 
leave  thee  naked  and  bare. 

40  'They  shall  also  bring  up  a com- 
pany against  thee,  “and  they  shall 
stone  thee  with  stones,  and  thrust 
thee  through  with  their  swords.  _ 

41  And  they,  shall  *burn  thine 
houses  with  fire,  and  ^ execute  judg- 
ments upon  thee  in  the  sight  or 
many  women  ; and  I will  cause  thee 
to  * cease  from  playing  the  harlot,

then  will  / bring  again  the  cap-

will  even  deal  with  thee  as  thou 
hast  done,  which  hast  Mespised 
*the  oath  in  breaking  the  covenant. 

60  U Nevertheless  I will  ^remem- 
ber my  covenant  with  thee  in  the 
days  of  thy  youth,  and  I will 
establish  unto  thee  ”*an  everlast- 
ing covenant. 

6 1 Then  " thou  shalt  remember  thy 
ways,  and  be  ashamed,  when  thou 
shalt  receive  thy  sisters,  thine  elder 
and  thy  younger:  and  I will  give 
them  unto  thee  for  ^daughters,  «but 
not  by  thy  covenant. 

62  *And  I will  establish  my  cov- 
enant with  thee ; and  thou  shalt 
know  that  I am  the  Lord  : 

63  That  thou  mayest  “remember, 
and  be  confounded,  ''and  never  open 
thy  mouth  any  more  because  of 
thy  shame,  when  I am  pacified  to- 
ward thee  for  all  that  thou  hast

4 He  cropped  off  the  top  of  his 
young  twigs,  and  carried  it  into  a 
land  of  traffick ; he  set  it  in  a city 
of  merchants. 

5 He  took  also  of  the  seed  of  the 
land,  and  ^planted  it  in  “a  fruitful 
neld  ; he  placed  it  by  great  waters, 
and  set  it  "as  a willow  tree. 

6 And  it  grew,  and  became  a 
spreading  vine  **  of  low  stature, 
whose  branches  turned  toward 
hiin,  and  the  roots  thereof  were 
under  him : so  it  became  a vine, 
and  brought  forth  branches,  and 
shot  forth  sprigs. 

7 There  was  also^  another  great 
eagle  with  great  wings  and  many 
iG^thers : and,  behold,  " this  vine 
did  bend  her  roots  toward  him, 
and  shot  forth  her  branches  to- 
ward him,  that  he  might  water  it 
by  the  furrows  of  her  plantation. 

8 It  was  planted  in  a good  ®soil  by 
great  waters,  that  it  might  bring 
forth  branches,  and  that  it  might 
bear  fruit,  that  it  might  be  a goodly 
vine. 

9 Say  thou.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Shall  it  prosper  ? '"shall  he 
not  pull  up  the  roots  thereof,  and 
cut  off  the  fruit  thereof,  that  it 
wither?  it  shall  wither  in  all  the 
leaves  of  her  spring,  even  without 
great  power  or  many  people  to 
pluck  it  up  by  the  roots  thereof. 

10  Yea,  behold,  being  planted, 
shall  it  prosper?  “shall  it  not  ut- 
terly wither,  when  the  east  wind 
toucheth  it?  it  shall  wither  in  the 
furrows  where  it  grew. 

HU  Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

12  Say  now  to  ''the  rebellious 
house.  Know  ye  not  what  these 
things  mean 'I  tell  them,  Behold, 
Hhe  king  of  Bab-y-Hn  is  come  to 
Je-ru-sa-lem.  and  hath  taken  the 
king  thereof,  and  the  princes  there- 
of, and  led  them  with  him  to  Bab- 
y-l5n ; 

13  ^'And  hath  taken  of  the  king’s 
seed,  and  made  a covenant  with 
him,  *and  hath  ® taken  an  oath  of 
him  : he  hath  also  taken  the  mighty 
of  the  land  : 

14  That  the  kingdom  might  be 
“base,  that  it  might  not  lift  itself 
up,  ^ but  that  _ by  keeping  of  his 
covenant  it  might  stand. 

15  But  *he  rebelled  against  him 
in  sending  his  ambassadors  into 
E-gypt,  "that  they  might  give  him 
horses  and  much  people.  "Shall 
he  prosper?  shall  he  escape  that 
doeth  such  things  ? or  shall  he 
break  the  covenant,  and  be  de- 
livered ?

the  soul  of  the  father,  so  also  the

0 house  of  IsYa-el,  are  not  my  ways

CHAPTER  19. 

1 A lamentation  for  the  princes  of  Israel,  under  the  par- 
able of  lions’  whelps  taken  in  a pit,  10  and,  for  Jeru- 
salem, under  the  parable  of  a wasted  vine. 

]\/rOREOVER  -take  thou  up  a 
iYL  lamentation  for  the  princes 
of  I§-ra-el, 

2 And  say,  What  is  thy  mother? 
A lioness : she  lay  down  among 
lions,  she  nourished  her  whelps 
among  young  lions. 

\ brought  up  one  of  her 

whelps  : ^it  became  a young  lion, 
and  it  learned  to  catch  the  prey  ; 
it  devoured  men. 

4 The  nations  also  heard  of  him ; 
he  was  taken  in  their  pit,  and  they 
brought  him  with  chains  unto  the 
land  of  ’'E-gypt. 

5 Now  when  she  saw  that  she  had 
waited,  and  her  hope  was  lost,  then 
she  took  ^another  of  her  whelps, 
and  made  him  a young  lion. 

6 “And  he  went  up  and  down 
among  the  lions,  *he  became  a 
young  lion,  and  learned  to  catch 
the  prey,  and  devoured  men. 

7 And  he  knew  Hheir  desolate 
palaces,  and  he  laid  waste  their 
cities ; and  the  land  was  desolate, 
and  the  fulness  thereof,  by  the 
noise  of  his  roaring. 

8 “Then  the  nations  set  against 
him  on  every  side  from  the  prov- 
inces, and  spread  their  net  over 
him ; "he  was  taken  in  their  pit. 

9 ^ And  they  put  him  in  ward  ‘‘  in 
chains,  and  brought  him  to  the 
king  of  Bab-y-lbn : they  brought 
him  into  holds,  that  his  voice 
should  no  more  be  heard  upon 
^the  mountains  of  Is-ra-6l. 

10  IT  Thy  mother  IS  ^like  a vine 
in  thy  blood,  planted  by  the  wa- 
ters: she  was  fruitful  and  full  of 
branches  by  reason  of  many  waters. 

1 1 And  she  had  strong  rods  for  the 
sceptres  of  them  that  bare  rule,  and

in  her  height  with  the  multitude  ot 

her  branches.  , , , • e .

CHAPTER  20. 

1 God  refuseth  to  be  consulted  by  the  elders  of  Israel.  5 He 
sheweth  the  story  of  their  rebellions  in  Egypt,  10  in  tM 
wilderness,  27  and  in  the  land.  33  He  prormseth  to 
gather  them  by  the  gospel.  45  Under  the  name  of  a forest 
he  sheweth  the  destruction  of  Jerusalem. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  sev- 
]\.  enth  year,  in  the  fifth  month, 
the  tenth  day  of  the  month,^  that 
"^certain  of  the  elders  of  Is-ra-m 
came  to  enquire  of  the  Lord,  and 

sat  before  me.  i ^ . t 

2 Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  » ex.  le.  27. 

unto  me,  saying, 

3 Son  of  man,  speak  unto  the 
elders  of  Is^ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  Cod; 

Are  ye  come  to  enquire  of  me  ( As 
I live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  will 
not  be  enquired  of  by  you. 

4 Wilt  thou  ^judge^  them,  son  ot 

man,  wilt  thou  judge  them?  * cause 
them  to  know  the  abominations  ot 
their  fathers:  ^ 

5 H And  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  ; In  the  dav  when/i 
chose  Is-ra-el,  and  Hifted  up  mine 
hand  unto  the  seed  of  the  house  ot 
Ja-cbb,  and  made  myself  known 
unto  them  in  the  land  of  E-gypt, 
when  I lifted  up  mine  hand  unto 
them,  saying,  “I  am  the  Lord  your 

6 In  the  day  that  I lifted  up  mine 
hand  unto  them,  Ho  bring. them 
forth  of  the  land  of  E-gypt  into  a 
land  that  I had  espied  for  them, 
flowing  with  milk  and  honey, 

^ which  is  the  glory  of  all  lands : 

7 Then  said  I unto  them,  *Cast  ye 
away  every  man  -^the  abominations 
of  his  eyes,  and  defile  not  your- 
selves with  'The  idols  of  E-gypt : I 
am  the  Lord  your  God.  . 

8 But  they  rebelled  against  me, 
and  would  not  hearken  unto  me: 
they  did  not  every  man  cast  away 
the  abominations  of  their  eyes

neither  did  they  forsake  the  idols 
of  E%ypt:  then  I said,  I will  "pour 
out  my  fury  upon  them,  to  accom- 
plish my  anger  against  them  in  tne 
midst  of  the  land  of  E-gypt.

Cabbaths,  to  be  a sign  between  me 
and  them,  that  they  might  know 
that  I am  the  Lord  that  sanctity 

13  But  the  house  of  Is-ra-el  "re-

judgments,  which  if  a man  do,  he

with  milk  and  honey,  which  is  the 
glory  of  all  lands ; , . i

21  Notwithstanding  "=the  children

rebelled  against  me:  they  walked 
not  in  my  statutes,  neither  kept 
my  judgments  to  do  them,  “which 
if  a man  do,  he  shall  even  live  in 
them  ; they  polluted  my  sabbaths : 
then  I said,  would  pour  out  my 
fury  upon  them,  to  accomplish  my 
anger  against  them  in  the  wilder- 
ness. 

22  Nevertheless  I withdrew  mine 
hand,  and  ^wrought  for  my  name’s 
sake,  that  it  should  not  be  polluted 
in  the  sight  of  the  heathen,  in  whose 
sight  I brought  them  forth. 

23  I lifted  up  mine  hand  unto 
them  also  in  the  wilderness,  that 

would  scatter  them  among  the 
heathen,  and  disperse  them  through 
the  countries ; 

24  ^Because  they  had  not  executed 
my  judgments,  but  had  despised 
my  statutes,  and  had  polluted  my 
sabbaths,  and  Hheir  eyes  were  after 
their  fathers’  idols. 

25  Wherefore  gave  them  also 
statutes  that  were  not  good,  and 
judgments  whereby  they  should 
not  live; 

26  And  I polluted  them  in  their 
own  gifts,  in  that  they  caused  to 

^through  the  fire  all  that  open- 
eth  the  womb,  that  I might  make 
them  desolate,  to  the  end  that 
they  ^ might  know  that  I am  the 
Lord. 

27  U Therefore,  son  of  man,  speak 
unto  the  house  of  Is-rd-el,  and  say 
unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Yet  in  this  your  fathers  have 
“blasphemed  me,  in  that  they  have 

committed  a trespass  against  me. 

, 28  For  when  I had  brought  them 
into  the  land,  for  the  which  I lifted 
up  mine  hand  to  give  it  to  them, 
then  "they  saw  every  high  hill,  and 
all  the  thick  trees,  and  they  offered 
there  their  sacrifices,  and  there  they 
presented  the  provocation  of  their 
offering:  there  also  they  made  their 
sweet  savour,  and  poured  out  there 
their  drink  offerings.

toward  the  holy  places,  and  proph- 
esy against  the  land  of  Is-ra-el,  _ 

3 And  say  to  the  land  of  Is-ra-6l, 

Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; Behold,  I arti 
against  thee,  and  will  draw  forth 
my  sword  out  of  his  sheath,  and 
will  cut  off  from  thee  ^ the  righteous 
and  the  wicked. 

4 Seeing  then  that  I will  cut  on 
from  thee  the  righteous  and  the 
wicked,  therefore  shall  my  sword 
go  forth  out  of  his  sheath  against  all 
flesh  Hrom  the  south  to  the  north  : 

5 That  all  flesh  may  know  that  I 
the  Lord  have  drawn  forth  my 
sword  out  of  his  sheath : it  ’‘shall 
not  return  any  more. 

6 * Sigh  therefore,  thou  son  of 
man,  with  the  breaking  of  thy 
loins ; and  with  bitterness  sigh  be- 
fore their  eyes. 

7 And  it  shall  be,  when  they  say 
unto  thee.  Wherefore  sighest  thou  *? 
that  thou  shalt  answer.  For  the 
tidings ; because  it  cometh : and 
every  neart  shall  melt,  and  “all

^ shall  be  weak  as  water ; behold, 
it  cometh,  and  shall  be  brought 
to  pass,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

8 II  Again  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

9 Son  of  man,  prophesy,  and  say. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Say,  ‘'A 
sword,  a sword  is  sharpened,  and 
also  furbished : 

10  It  is  sharpened  to  make  a sore 
slaughter ; it  is  furbished  that  it 
may  glitter : should  we  then  make 
mirth'?  ^it  contemneth  the  rod  oi 
my  son,  as  every  tree.  , 

11  And  he  hath  given  it  to  be 
furbished,  that  it  may  be  handled  : 
this  sword  is  sharpened,  and  it  is 
furbished,  to  give  it  into  the  hand 
of  the  slayer. 

12  Cry  and  howl,  son  of  man  : tor 
it  shall  be  upon  my  people,  it  shall 
be  upon  all  the  princes  of  Is-ra-el : 
^terrors  by  reason  of  the  sword 
shall  be  upon  my  people  : * smite 
therefore  upon  thy  thigh. 

13  ‘'Because  it  is  *a  trial,  and  what 
if  the  stvord  contemn  even  the  rod j 
it  shall  be  no  more,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

14  Thou  therefore,  son  ot  man, 
prophesy,  and  ^ smite  thine  ® hands 
together,  and  let  the  sword  be 
doubled  the  third  time,  the  sword 
of  the  slain : it  is  the  sword  pt  the 
great  men  that  are  slain,  which  en- 
tereth  into  their  ’“privy  chambers. 

15  I have  set  the  ® point  of  the 
sword  against  all  their  gates,  that 
their  heart  may  faint,  and  then 
ruins  be  multiplied  : ah  1 is  made 
bright,  it  is  ’wrapped  up  for  the 
slaughter. 

16  Go  thee  one  way  or  other, 
either  on  the  right  hand,  ®or  pn  the 
left,  whithersoever  thy  face  is  set. 

17  I will  also  smite  mine  hands 
together,  and  I will  cause  my  fury 
to  rest : I the  Lord  have  said  it. 

18  ^ The  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me  again,  saying, 

19  Also,  thou  son  of  man,  appoint 
thee  two  ways,  that  the  sword  ot 
the  king  of  Bab-y-l6n  may  come: 
both  twain  shall  come  forth  out  ot 
one  land : and  choose  thou  a place, 
choose  it  at  the  head  of  the  way  to 

^20  A^woint  a way,  that  the  sword 
may  come  to  Hlab-bath  of  the  Am- 
mbn-Ites,  and  to  Ju-dah  in  Je-ru- 
sa-lem  the  defence^. 

21  For  the  king  of  Bab-y-lon  stood 
at  the  9 parting  of  the  way,  at  the 
head  of  the  two  ways,  to  use  divina- 
tion : he  made  /m  ' arrows  bn^ht. 
he  consulted  with  ‘■^images,  he  looked

slaughter,  to  Mift  up  the  voice  with 
shouting,  to  appoint  battering  rams 
against  the  gates,  to  cast  a mount, 
and  to  build  a fort. 

23  And  it  shall  be  unto  them  as

them  that  have  sworn  oaths:  but

iniquity,  that  they  may  be  taken. 

24  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Because  ye  have  made  your

Gop  'concerning  the  Am-mOn-ites,

say  thou.  The  sword,  the  sword  is 
drawn : for  the  slaughter  it  is  fur-

29  Whiles  they  see  vanity  unto 
thee,  whiles  they  divine  a lie  unto 
thee,  to  bring  thee  upon  the  necks  of 
them  that  are  slain,  of  the  wicked, 
f whose  day  is  come,  when  their

against  thee  in  the  fire  of  my  wrath 
and  deliver  thee  into  the  hand  of

EZERIEL,  22.  gmg  in  Jerusalem. 

2 How,  thou  son  of  man,  wilt  thou 
'judge,  wilt  thou  judge  “the  ^bloody 
city  ? yea,  thou  shalt  ® shew  her  all 
her  abominations. 

3 Then  say  thou.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  The  city  sheddeth  blood 
in  the  midst  of  it,  that  her  time 
may  come,  and  maketh  idols  against 
herself  to  defile  herself. 

4 Thou  art  become  guilty  in  thy 
blood  that  thou  hast  ® shed ; and 
hast  defiled  thyself  in  thine  idols 
which  thou  hast  made;  and  thou 
hast  caused  thy  days  to  draw  near, 
and  art  come  even  unto  thy  years : 
‘'therefore  have  I made  thee  a re- 
proach unto  the  heathen,  and  a 
mocking  to  all  countries. 

5 Those  that  be  near,  and  those  that 
tar  from  thee,  shall  mock  thee, 

which  art  ’infamous  and  much 
vexed. 

6 Behold,  ®the  princes  of  Is-rA-el, 
every  one  were  in  thee  to'  their 
“power  to  shed  blood. 

7 In  thee  have  they  ^ set  light  by 
father  and  mother : in  the  midst  of 
thee  have  they  '‘dealt  by  ® oppres- 
sion with  the  stranger:  in  thee 
have  they  vexed  the  fatherless  and 
the  widow. 

8 Thou  hast  despised  mine  holy 
things,  and  hast  ^profaned  my  sab- 
baths. 

9 In  thee  are  ’"men^  that  carry 
tales  to  shed  blood : and  in  thee 
they  eat  upon  the  mountains : in 
the  midst  of  thee  they  commit 
lewdness. 

10  In  thee  have  they  ” discovered 
their  fathers’  nakedness:  in  thee 
have  they  humbled  her  that  was 
"set  apart  for  pollution. 

1 1 And  ^ one  nath  committed  a- 
bomination  nvith  his  neighbour’s 
wife;  and  ^another  ’'hath  Hewdly 
defiled  his  daughter  in  law;  and 
another  in  thee  hatn  humbled  his 
**  sister,  his  father’s  daughter. 

12  In  thee  *have  they  taken  gifts 
to  shed  blood ; ^ thou  hast  taken 
usury  and  increase,  and  thou  hast 
"reedily  gained  of  thy  neighbours 
jy  extortion,  and  ‘‘hast  forgotten 
me,  saith  the  Lord  God.

* smitten  mine  hand  at  thy  dis-

and  at  thy  blood  which  hath  been 
in  the  midst  of  thee.

16  And  thou  ‘“^shalt  take  thine  in- 
heritance in  thyself  in  the  sight  of 
the  heathen,  and  thou  shalt  know 
that  I am  the  Loed. 

17  And  the  word  of  the  Loed 

came  unto  me,  saying,  ^ 

18  Son  of  man,  ^the  house  of  Is-

they  are  brass,  and  tin,  and  iron, 
and  lead,  in  the  midst  of  the  fur- 
nace; they  are  even  the  ^ dross  of 
silver. 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Because  ye  are  all  become 
dross,  behold,  therefore  I will  gather 
you  into  the  midst  of  Js-ru-sa-lem. 

20  ^ As  they  gather  silver,  and 
brass,  and  iron,  and  lead,  and  tin, 
into  the  midst  of  the  furnace,  to 
blow  the  fire  upon  it,  to  melt  it ; 
so  will  I gather  you  in  mine  anger 
and  in  my  fury,  and  I will  leave 
you  there,  and  melt  you. 

21  Yea,  I will  gather  you,  and 

blow  upon  you  in  the  fire  of  my 

wrath,  and  ye  shall  be  melted  in 
the  midst  thereof. 

22  As  silver  is  melted  in  the  midst 
of  the  furnace,  so  shall  ye  be  melted 
in  the  midst  thereof ; and  ye  shall 
know  that  I the  Loed  have  ° poured 
out  my  fury  upon  you. 

23  51  And  the  word  of  the  Loed 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

24  Son  of  man,  sajr  unto  her.  Thou 
art  the  land  that  is  not  cleansed, 
nor  rained  upon  in  the  day  of  indig- 
nation. 

25  There  is  a conspiracy  of  her 
prophets  in  the  midst  thereof,  like 
a roaring  lion  ravening  the  prey ; 
they  * have  devoured  souls  ; ^ they 
have  taken  the  treasure  and  pre- 
cious things ; thev  have  made  her 
many  widows  in  the  midst  thereof. 

26  “ Her  priests  have  ^violated  my 
law,  and  have  * profaned  mine  holy 
things : they  have  put  no  ^ differ- 
ence between  the  holy  and  profane, 
neither  have  they  shewed  differ- 
ence between  the  unclean  and  the 
clean,  and  have  hid  their  eyes  from

CHAPTER  23. 

1 The  whoredoms  of  Aholah  and  Aholibah.  22  Aholibah 
is  to  be  plagued  by  her  lovers.  36  The  prophet  reprov- 
eth  the  adulteries  of  them  both. 

The  word  of  the  Loed  came 
again  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  there  were  *two 
women,  the  daughters  of  one  mo- 
ther : 

3  And  Hhey  committed  whore- 
doms in  E-gypt;  they  committed 
whoredoms  in  their  youth  : there 
were  their  breasts  pressed,  and 
there  they  bruised  the  teats  of 
their  virginity. 

4  And  the  names  of  them  were 
A-ho-lah  the  elder,  and  A-hOl-i-bah 
her  sister ; and  ^ they  were  mine, 
and  they  bare  sons  and  daughters. 
Thus  were  their  names  ; Sa-mahd-a 
is  ®A-hodah,  and  Je-ru-sAlem  '^A- 
h5l-i-bah. 

5  And  A-hodah  played  the  harlot 
when  she  was  mine  ; and  she  doted 
on  her  lovers,  on  ^ the  As-syrd-ans 
her  neighbours, 

6  Which  were  clothed  with  blue, 
captains  and  rulers,  all  of  them  de- 
sirable young  men,  horsemen  riding 
upon  horses. 

7  Thus  she  ® committed  her  whore- 
doms with  them,  with  all  them 
that  were  ^the  chosen  men  of  As- 
syrd-a,  and  with  all  on  whom  she 
doted : with  all  their  idols  she  de- 
filed herself. 

8  Neither  left  she  her  whoredoms 
brought  from  E-gypt : for  in  her 
youth  they  lay  with  her,  and  they 
bruised  the  breasts  of  her  virgin- 
ity, and  poured  their  whoredom 
upon  her. 

9  Wherefore  I have  delivered  her 
into  the  hand  of  her  lovers,  into 
the  hand  of  the  “As-syrd-ans,  upon 
whom  she  doted. 

10  These  ® discovered  her  naked- 
ness : they  took  her  sons  and  her 
daughters,  and  slew  her  with  the 
sword ; and  she  became  ^ famous 
among  women ; for  they  had  exe- 
cuted judgment  upon  her.

Aholah  and  Aholihah, 


11  And  “when  her  sister  A-hOl-i- 
bah  saw  ^A^s,  /she^  was  more  cor- 
rupt in  her  inordinate  love  than 
she,  and  in  her  whoredoms  ^more 
than  her  sister  in  her  whoredoms. 

12  She  doted  upon  the  “As-syr4- 
ans  her  neighbours,  ‘^captains  and 
rulers  clothed  most  gorgeously, 
horsemen  riding  upon  horses,  all 
of  them  desirable  young  men. 

1 3 Then  I saw  that  she  was  defiled, 
that  they  took  both  one  way, 

14  And  that  she  increased  her 
whoredoms  : for  when  she  saw  men 
pourtrayed  upon  the  wall,  the  im- 
ages of  the  -Ghal-de-ans  pourtrayed 
with  vermilion, 

15  Girded  with  girdles  upon  their 
loins,  exceeding  in  dyed  attire  up- 
on their  heads,  all  of  them  princes 
to  look  to,  after  the  manner  of  the 
Bab-y-lo-ni-ans  of  -Ghal-de-a,  the 
land  of  their  nativity: 

16  '"And  ^as  soon  as  she  saw  them 
with  her  eyes,  she  doted  upon  them, 
and  sent  messengers  unto  them  into 
Ghal-de-a. 

1 7 And  the  ® Bab-y-lo-ni-ans  came 
to  her  into  the  bed  of  love,  and 
they  defiled  her  with  their  whore- 
dom, and  she  was  polluted  with 
them,  and’^her  mind  was  ^alienated 
from  them. 

18  So  she  discovered  her  whore- 
doms, and  discovered  her  naked- 
ness : then /‘my  mind  was  alienated 
from  her,  like  as  my  mind  was  alien- 
ated from  her  sister. 

19  Yet  she  multiplied  her  whore- 
doms, in  calling  to  remembrance 
the  days  of  her  youth,  ^wherein 
she  had  j)layed  the  harlot  in  the 
land  of  E-gypt. 

20  For  she  doted  upon  their  para- 
mours, ^ whose  flesh  is  as  the  flesh 
of  asses,  and  whose  issue  is  like  the 
issue  of  horses. 

21  Thus  thou  calledst  to  remem- 
brance the  lewdness  of  thy  youth, 
in  bruising  thy  teats  by  the  E-gyp- 
tians  for  the  paps  of  thy  youth. 

22  il  Therefore,  O A-h6l-i-bah,  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  ; ‘Behold,  I will 
raise  up  thy  lovers  against  thee, 
from  whom  thy  mind  is  alienated, 
and  I will  bring  them  against  thee 
on  every  side ; 

23  The  Bab-y-lo-ni-ans,  and  all  the 
Ghal-de-ans,  *^Pe-kDd,  and  Sho-a,  and 
Ko-a,  and  all  the  As-syr-i-ans  with 
them  : “all  of  them  desirable  young 
men,  captains  and  rulers,  great  lords 
and  renowned,  all  of  them  riding 
upon  horses. 

24  And  they  shall  come  against 
thee  with  chariots,  wagons,  and 
wheels,  and  with  an  assembly  of

ment before  them,  and  they  shall 
judge  thee  according  to  their  judg- 
ments. 

25  And  I will  set  my  jealousy 
against  thee,  and  they  shall  deal 
furiously  with  thee : they  shall  take 
away  thy  nose  and  thine  ears ; and 
thy  remnant  shall  fall  by  the  sword : 
they  shall  take  thy  sons  and  thy 
daughters  ; and  thy  residue  shall 
be  devoured  by  the  fire. 

26  ®They  shall  also  strip  thee  out

27  Thus  -^will  I make  thy  lewd- 
ness to  cease  from  thee,  and  ®'thy 
whoredom  brought  from  the  land 
of  E-gypt : so  that  thou  shalt  not 
lift  up  thine  eyes  unto  them,  nor 
remember  E-gypt  any  more. 

28  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Behold,  I will  deliver  thee  into  the 
hand  of  them  ‘whom  thou  hatest, 
into  the  hand  o/  them  *from  whom 
thy  mind  is  alienated : 

29  And  they  shall  deal  with  thee 
hatefully,  and  shall  take  away  all 
thy  labour,  and  ‘shall  leave  thee 
naked  and  bare : and  the  naked> 
ness  of  thy  whoredoms  shall  be 
discovered,  both  thy  lewdness  and 
thy  whoredoms. 

30  I will  do  these  things  unto  thee, 
because  thou  hast  "gone  a whoring 
after  the  heathen,  and  because  thou 
art  polluted  with  their  idols. 

31  Thou  hast  walked  in  the  way 
of  thy  sister ; therefore  will  I give 
her  ^cup  into  thine  hand. 

32  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Thou 
shalt  drink  of  thy  sister’s  cup  deep 
and  large:  Hhou  shalt  be  laughed

tion, with  the  cup  of  thy  sister

34  Thou  shalt  “even  drink  it  and 
suck  it  out,  and  thou  shalt  break 
the  sherds  thereof,  and  pluck  off 
thine  own  breasts : for  I have  spoken 
it,  saith  the  Lord  God._

God  ; Because  thou  2' hast  forgotten

therefore  bear  thou  also  thy  lewd- 
ness  and  thy  whoredoms.

41  And  sates t upon  a ^stately  *bed, 
and  a table  prepared  before  it, 
^whereupon  thou  hast  set  mine 
incense  and  mine  oil. 

^ 42  And  a voice  of  a multitude  be- 
ing at  ease  was  with  her ; and  with 
the  men  ^of  the  common  sort  were 
brought  ^Sa-be-ans  from  the  wilder- 
ness, which  put  bracelets  upon  their 
hands,  and  beautiful  crowns  upon 
their  heads.  ^ 

43  Then  said  I unto  her  that  was 
old  in  adulteries.  Will  they  now 
commit  ® whoredoms  with  her,  and 
she  with  them  ? 

44  Yet  they  went  in  unto  her, 
as  they  go  in  unto  a woman  that 
playeth  the  harlot:  so  went  they 
in  unto  A-hodah  and  unto  A-hbl-i- 
bah,  the  lewd  women. 

45  ^ And  the  righteous  men,  they 
shall  * judge  them  after  the  manner 
of  adulteresses,  and  after  the  man- 
ner of  women  that  shed  blood  ; be- 
cause they  are  adulteresses,  and 
* blood  is  in  their  hands.

“I  will  bring  up  a company  upon 
them,  and  will  give  them  '^to  be 
removed  and  spoiled. 

47  ^And  the  company  shall  stone 
them  with  stones,  and  ® dispatch 
them  with  their  swords;  Hhey  shall 
slay  their  sons  and  their  daughters,

fire. 

48  Thus  “will  I cause  lewdness 
to  cease  out  of  the  land,  ^that  all 
women  may  be  taught  not  to  do 
after  your  lewdness.

CHAPTER  24. 

1 By  the  parable  of  a boiling  pot,  6 is  shewed  the  destruc- 
tion of  Jerusalem.  15  By  the  sign  of  Ezekiel  not  mourn- 

itig  the  death  of  his  vrife,  19  the  calamity  of  the  Jews  is 

shewed  to  be  beyond  all  sorrow. 

AGAIN  in  the  ninth  year,  in  the 
tenth  month,  in  the  tenth  day 
of  the  month,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

2 Son  of  man,  write  thee  the  name 
of  the  day,  even  of  this  same  day : 
the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n  set  himself 
against  J O-ru-sa-lem  ‘^this  same  day. 

3 -^And  utter  a parable  unto  the 
rebellious  house,  and  say  unto  them. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; s' Set  on 
a pot,  set  it  on,  and  also  pour  water 
into  it : 

4 Gather  the  pieces  thereof  into  it, 
even  every  good  piece,  the  thigh, 
and  the  shoulder ; fill  it  with  the 
choice  bones. 

5 Take  the  choice  of  the  flock, 
and  ^burn  also  the  bones  under  it, 
and  make  it  boil  well,  and  let  them 
seethe  the  bones  of  it  therein. 

6 ^ Wherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Woe  to  ”the  bloody  city,  to 
the  pot  whose  scum  is  therein,  and 
whose  scum  is  not  gone  out  of  it ! 
bring  it  out  piece  by  piece ; let  no 
®lot  fall  upon  it. 

7 For  her  blood  is  in  the  midst  of 
her;  she  set  it  upon  the  top  of  a 
rock ; ^she  poured  it  not  upon  the 
ground,  to  cover  it  with  dust ; 

8 That  it  might  cause  furv  to 
come  up  to  take  vengeance ; ^1  have 
set  her  blood  upon  the  top  of  a rock, 
that  it  should  not  be  covered. 

9 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; ’'Woe  to  the  bloody  city ! I 
will  even  make  the  pile  for  fire 
great. 

10  Heap  on  wood,  kindle  the  fire, 
consume  the  flesh,  and  spice  it  well, 
and  let  the  bones  be  burned. 

11  Then  set  it  empty  upon  the 
coals  thereof,  that  the  brass  of  it 
may  be  hot,  and  may  [burn,  and 
that  *the  filthiness  or  it  may  be 
molten  in  it,  that  the  scum  of  it 
may  be  consumed. 

1 2 She  hath  wearied  herself  with 
lies,  and  her  great  scum  went  not 
forth  out  of  her : her  scum  shall  be 
in  the  fire. 

13  In  thy  filthiness  is  lewdness: 
because  I have  purged  thee,  and 
thou  wast  not  purged,  thou  shalt 
not  be  purged  from  thy  filthiness 
any  more,  ‘’till  I have  caused  my 
fury  to  rest  upon  thee. 

1 4 I the  Lord  have  spoken  it : it 
shall  come  to  pass,  and  I will  do 
it ; I will  not  go  back,  neither  will 


755 


Calamity  of  the  Jews. 


EZEKIEL,  25. 


Of  God’s  vengeance. 


I  spare,  neither  will  I repent ; ac- 
cording to  thy  ways,  and  according 
to  thy  doings,  shall  they  judge  thee, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  U Also  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

16  Son  of  man,  behold,  I take 
away  from  thee  the  desire  of  thine 
eyes  with  a stroke:  yet  neither 
shalt  thou  mourn  nor  weep,  nei- 
ther shall  thy  tears  ^run  down. 

17  ^Forbear  to  cry,  ‘'make  no 
mourning  for  the  dead,  ®bind  the 
tire  of  thine  head  upon  thee,  and 
^put  on  thy  shoes  upon  thy  feet, 
and  ^ cover  not  thy  ^lips,  and  eat 
not  the  bread  of  men. 

18  So  I spake  unto  the  people  in 
the  morning : and  at  even  my  wife 
died ; and  I did  in  the  morning  as 
I was  commanded. 

19  H And  the  people  said  unto  me, 
'‘Wilt  thou  not  tell  us  what  these 
things  are  to  us,  that  thou  doest 

20  Then  I answered  them.  The 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me 

21  Speak  unto  the  house  of  Is-ra-el, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; Behold, 

will  profane  my  sanctuary,  the 
excellency  of  your  strength,  "the 
desire  of  your  eyes,  and  ’'that  which 
your  soul  pitieth ; ^ and  your  sons 
and  your  daughters  whom  ye  have 
left  shall  fall  by  the  sv/ord. 

22  And  ye  shall  do  as  I have  done  : 
«ye  shall  not  cover  your  lips,  nor 
eat  the  bread  of  men. 

23  And  your  tires  shall  he  upon 
your  heads,  and  your  shoes  upon 
your  feet : *ye  shall  not  mourn  nor 
weep;  but  “ye  shall  pine  away  for 
your  iniquities,  and  mourn  one  to- 
ward another. 

24  Thus  ^E;ze-ki-el  is  unto  you  a 
sign  : according  to  all  that  he  hath 
done  shall  ye  do : “and  when  this 
cometh,  *ye  shall  know  that  I am 
the  Lord  God. 

25  Also,  thou  son  of  man,  shall 

it  not  be  in  the  day  when  I take 
from  them  "their  strength,  the  joy 
of  their  glory,  the  desire  of  their 
eyes,  and  Hhat  whereupon  they  set 
their  minds,  their  sons  and  their 
daughters,  . 

26  That  ‘^he  that  escapeth  in 
that  day  shall  come  unto  thee,  to 
cause  thee  to  hear  it  with  thine 
ears  1 

27  •'’In  that  day  shall  thy  mouth 
be  opened  to  him  which  is  es- 
caped, and  thou  shalt  speak,  and 
be  no  more  dumb : and  thou  shalt 
be  a sign  unto  them ; and  they 
shall  know  that  I am  the  Lord.

The  word  of  the  Lord  came 
again  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  “set  thy  face  '’against 
the  Am-mOn-ites,  and  prophesy  a- 
gainst  them; 

3  And  say  unto  the  Am-m5n-ites, 
Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  God  ; 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; ‘'Because 
thou  saidst,  i^a,  against  my  sanc- 
tuary, when  it  was  profaned ; and 
against  the  land  of  Is-ra-el,  when 
it  was  desolate ; and  against  the 
house  of  Ju-dah,  when  they  went 
into  captivity;  ^ ^ ^ 

4  Behold,  therefore  I will  deliver 
thee  to  the  “men  of  the  east  for  a 
possession,  and  they  shall  set  them 
palaces  in  thee,  and  make  their 
dwellings  in  thee:  they  shall  eat 
thy  fruit,  and  they  shall  drink  thy 

milk.  1 ,1  1 .. 

5  And  I will  make  ‘Rab-bah  ''a 
stable  for  camels,  and  the  Am-mon- 
ites  a couchingplace  for  flocks : 'and 
ye  shall  know  that  I am  the  Lord. 

6  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  Gop ; 
Because  thou  “hast  clapped  thine 
®hands,  and  stamped  with  the  ®feet, 
and  ^rejoiced  in  ® heart  with  all  thy 
despite  against  the  land  of  Is-ra-el ; 
7 Behold,  therefore  I will  ’’stretch 
out  mine  nand  upon  thee,  and  will 
deliver  thee  for  ®a  spoil  to  the  hea- 
then ; and  I will  cut  thee  off  from 
the  people,  and  I will  cause  thee 
to  perish  out  of  the  countries : I 
will  destroy  thee ; and  thou  shalt 
know  that  I am  the  Lord. 

8  ^ Thus  saith  the  Lord  Gop; 
Because  that  *Mo-ab  and  ^Se-ir  do 
say.  Behold,  the  house  of  Ju-dah 
is  like  unto  all  the  heathen ; 

9  Therefore,  behold,  I will  open 
the  'side  of  Mo-ab  from  the  cities, 
from  his  cities  which  are  on  his 
frontiers,  the  glory  of  the  country, 
Beth-jeshh-m5th,  Ba-al-me-5n,  and 
Kir-i-a-tha4m,  .9.^1 

10  Unto  the  men  of  the  east  ^with 
the  Am-mpn-ites,  and  will  give  tnem 
in  possession,  that  the  Am-m5n-ites 
may  not  be  remembered  among  the 
nations.  . . 

11  And  I will  execute  judgments 
upon  Mo-ab ; and  they  shall  know 
that  I am  the  Lord.  ^ ^ 

1 2  H Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; "Be- 
cause that  E-d5m  hath  dealt  against 
the  house  of  Ju-dah  “by  takmg  ven- 
geance, and  hath  greatly  ofiended, 
and  revenged  himself  upon  thpm  ; 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; I will  also  stretch  out  mine

14  And  will  lay  my  vengeance 
upon  E-d5m  by  the  hand  of  my

in  E-d5m  according  to  mine  anger 
and  according  to  my  fury;  and 
they  shall  know  my  vengeance, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  ^ Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; ‘'Be- 
cause ‘^the  Phi-lis-tines  have  dealt 
by  revenge,  and  have  taken  ven- 

§eance  with  a despiteful  heart,  to 
estroy  it  ^for  the  old  hatred ; 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Behold,  ® I will  stretch  out 
mine  hand  upon  the  Phi-lis-tines, 
and  I will  cut  off  the-^'-Ghfir-g-thims, 
^and  destroy  the  remnant  of  the

17  And  I will  ^execute  great  ®ven-

1 Tyrus  is  threatened.  15  Mourning  and  astonish- 
ment of  the  sea  at  her  fall, 

AND  it  came  t9  pass  in  the  elev- 
enth  year,  in  the  first  day  of 
the  month,  tJmt  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2 Son  of  man,  because  that  Ty-rus 
hath  said  against  Je-ru-s4-lem,  ”Aha, 
she  is  broken  that  was  the  gates  of 
the  people : she  is  turned  unto  me : 
I shall  be  replenished,  now  she  is 
laid  waste : 

3 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Behold,  I am  against  thee, 
O Ty-rus,  and  will  cause  many 
nations  to  come  up  against  thee, 
as  the  sea  causetn  his  waves  to 
come  up. 

4 And  they  shall  destroy  the  walls 
of  Ty-rus,  and  break  down  her 
towers : I will  also  scrape  her  dust 
from  her,  and  “make  her  like  the 
top  of  a rock. 

5 It  shall  be  a vlace  for  the  spread- 
ing of  nets  ^in  the  midst  of  the  sea: 
for  I have  spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord 
God  : and  it  shall  become  a spoil  to 
the  nations. 

6 And  her  daughters  which  are  in 
the  field  shall  be  slain  by  the  sword  ; 
“and  they  shall  know  that  I am  the 
Lord. 

7 II  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Behold,  I will  bring  upon  Ty-rus 
N6b-u-Bhad-r6z-zar  king  of  Bab-y- 
l6n,  ‘'a  king  of  kings,  from  the  north,

8 He  shall  slay  with  the  sword  thy 
daughters  in  the  field : and  he  shall 
“make  a fort  against  thee,  and  ‘^cast 
a mount  against  thee,  and  lift  up 
the  buckler  against  thee. 

9 And  he  shall  set  engines  of  war 
against  thy  walls,  and  with  his  axes 
he  shall  break  down  thy  towers. 

10  By  reason  of  the  abundance  of 
his  horses  their  dust  shall  cover 
thee  : thy  walls  shall  shake  at  the 
noise  of  the  horsemen,  and  of  the 
wheels,  and  of  the  chariots,  when 
he  shall  enter  into  thy  gates,  ^as 
men  enter  into  a city  wherein  is 
made  a breach. 

11  With  the  hoofs  of  his  horses 
shall  he  tread  down  all  thy  streets : 
he  shall  slay  thy  people  by  the 
sword,  and  thy  strong  garrisons 
shall  go  down  to  the  ground. 

1 2 And  they  shall  make  a spoil  of 
thy  riches,  and  make  a prey  of  thy 
merchandise  : and  they  shall  break 
down  thy  walls,  and  destroy  '^thy 
pleasant  houses : and  they  shall  lay 
thy  stones  and  thy  timber  and  thy 
dust  in  the  midst  of  the  water. 

13  ‘ And  I will  cause  the  noise  of 
*thy  songs  to  cease  ; and  the  sound 
of  thy  harps  shall  be  no  more  heard. 

14  And  H will  make  thee  like  the 
top  of  a rock : thou  shalt  be  a place 
to  spread  nets  upon ; thou  shalt  be 
built  no  more : for  I the  Lord  have 
spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  ^ Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  to 
Ty-rus;  Shall  not  the  isles  ‘’shake 
at  the  sound  of  thy  fall,  when  the 
wounded  cry,  when  the  slaughter 
is  made  in  the  midst  of  theel 

16  Then  all  the  ^princes  of  the  sea 
shalDcome  down  from  their  thrones, 
and  lay  away  their  robes,  and  put 
off  their  broidered  garments  : they 
shall  clothe  themselves  with  ® trem- 
bling; ’'they  shall  sit  upon  the 
ground,  and  * shall  tremble  at  every 
moment,  and  * be  astonished  at 
thee. 

17  And  they  shall  take  up  a ‘'lam- 
entation for  thee,  and  say  to  thee. 
How  art  thou  destroyed,  that  wast 
inhabited  “^of  seafaring  men,  the 
renowned  city,  which  wast  'strong 
in  the  sea,  she  and  her  inhabitants, 
which  cause  their  terror  to  be  on  all 
that  haunt  it ! 

18  Now  shall  *’the  isles  tremble  in 
the  day  of  thy  fall ; yea,  the  isles 
that  are  in  the  sea  shall  be  troubled 
at  thy  departure. 

19  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
When  I shall  make  thee  a desolate 
city,  like  the  cities  that  are  not  in-

20  When  I shall  bring  thee  down 
^with  them  that  descend  into  the 
pit,  with  the  people  of  old  time,  and 
shall  set  thee  in  the  low  parts  ot  the

1 The  riches  of  Tyrus.  26  Her  unrecomraUe  fall. 

The  word  of  the  Lord  came  again 
unto  me,  saying, 

2  Now,  thou  son  of  man,  *take  up 
a lamentation  for  Ty^riis  ; 

3  And  say  unto  Ty-rus,  *0  thou 
that  art  situate  at  the  entry  of  the 
sea,  which  art  ^ a merchant  of  the 
people  for  many  isles.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  ; O Ty-rus,  thou  hast 
said,  am  ®of  perfect  beauty. 

4  Thy  borders  are  in  the  midst 
of  the  seas,  thy  builders  have  per- 
fected thy  beauty. 

5  They  have  ®made  all  thy  shi-p 
boards  of  fir  trees  of  ^Se-nir : they 
have  taken  cedars  from  Leb-a-nCn 
to  make  masts  for  thee. 

6  Of  the  oaks  of  Ba-shan  have  they 
made  thine  oars  ; ^‘Hhe  company  of 
the  Ash-ilr-ites  have  made  thy 
benches  of  ivory,  brought  out  of 
Hhe  isles  of  -Chit-tim. 

7  Fine  linen  with  broidered  work 
from  E-gypt  was  that  which  thou 
spreadest  forth  to  be  thy  sail ; ®blue 
and  purple  from  the  isles  of  E-li- 
shah  was  that  which  covered  thee. 
8 The  inhabitants  of  Zi-d6n  and 
ArWad  were  thy  mariners : thy  wise 
men,  O Ty-rus,  that  were  in  thee, 
were  thy  pilots. 

9  The  ancients  of  *Ge-bal  and  the 
wise  men  thereof  were  in  thee  thy 
® calkers : all  the  ships  of  the  sea 
with  their  mariners  were  in  thee  to 
occupy  thy  merchandise. 

10  They  of  Per-si-a  and  of  Liid  and 
of  “Phut  were  in  thine  army,  thy 
men  of  war : they  hanged  the  shield 
and  helmet  in  thee ; they  set  forth 
thy  comeliness.  .. 

1 1  The  men  of  ArWad  with  thine 
army  were  upon  thy  walls  round 
about,  and  the  Gam-ma-dims  were 
in  thy  towers : they  hanged  their

rupted by  sin.  24  Restoration  of  Israel. 

The  word  of  the  Lord  came  again 
unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  say  unto  the  prince 
of  Ty-rus,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  > 
Because  thine  heart  is  lifted  im,  and 
thou  hast  said,  I am  a God,  I sit  in 
the  seat  of  God,  in  the  ^ midst  of  the 
^as;  “yet  thou  art  a man,  and  not 
God,  though  thou  set  thine  heart  as 
the  heart  of  God : 

3  Behold,  ®thou  art  wiser  than 
i)an-i6l;  there  is  no  secret  that 
they  can  hide  from  thee ; 

4  With  thy  wisdom  and  with  thine 
understanding  thou  hast  gotten 
thee  richeSj  and  hast  gotten  gold 
and  silver  into  thy  treasures:

thy  traffick  hast  thou  increased  thy 
riches,  and  thine  heart  is  lifted  up 
because  of  thy  riches : 

6 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Because  thou  hast  set  thine 
heart  as  the  heart  of  God  ; 

7 Behold,  therefore  I will  bring 
strangers  upon  thee,  ®the  terrible 
of  the  nations : and  they  shall  draw 
their  swords  against  the  beauty  of 
thy  wisdom,  and  they  shall  defile 
thy  brightness. 

8 They  shall  bring  thee  down  to 
the  pit,  and  thou  shalt  die  the 
deaths  of  them  that  are  slain  in 
the  naidst  of  the  seas. 

9 Wilt  thou  yet  -^say  before  him 
that  slayeth  thee,  I am  Godl  but 
thou  shalt  be  a man,  and  no  God,  in 
the  hand  of  him  that  ^slayeth  thee. 

10  Thou  shalt  die  the  deaths  of 
''the  uncircumcised  by  the  band  of 
strangers : for  I have  spoken  it,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

11  H Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

12  Son  of  man,  *take  up  a lamen- 
tation upon  the  king  of  Ty-rus,  and 
say  unto  him,  Thus  saith  tbe  Lord 
God  ; “Thou  sealest  up  the  sum,  full 
of  wisdom,  and  perfect  in  beauty. 

13  Thou  hast  been  in  "E-den  the 
garden  of  God ; every  precious  stone 
was  thy  covering,  the  "sardius,  to- 
paz, and  the  diamond,  the  ® beryl, 
the  onyx,  and  the  jasper,  the  sap- 
phire, the  ’emerald,  and  the  car- 
buncle, and  gold : the  workmanship 
of  Hhy  tabrets  and  of  thy  pipes 
was  prepared  in  thee  in  the  day 
that  thou  wast  created. 

14  Thou  art  the  anointed  ’^cher-ub 
that  covereth ; and  I have  set  thee 
so;  thou  wast  upon  ^'the  holy  moun- 
tain of  God ; thou  hast  walked  up 
and  down  in  the  midst  of  the  stones 
of  fire. 

1 5 Thou  wast  perfect  in  thy  ways 
from  the  day  that  thou  wast  created, 
till  iniquity  was  found  in  thee. 

16  By  the  multitude  of  thy  mer- 
chandise they  have  filled  the  midst 
of  thee  with  violence,  and  thou  hast 
sinned : therefore  I will  cast  thee 
as  profane  out  of  the  mountain  of 
God : and  I will  destroy  thee,  * O 
covering  chgr-iib,  from  the  midst  of 
the  stones  of  fire. 

17  '’Thine  heart  was  lifted  up  be- 
cause of  thy  beauty,  thou  hast  cor- 
rupted thy  wisdom  by  reason  of 
thy  brightness : I will  cast  thee  to 
the  ground,  I will  lay  thee  before 
kings,  that  they  may  behold  thee. 

18  Thou  hast  defiled  thy  sanc- 
tuaries by  the  multitude  of  thine 
iniquities,  by  the  iniquity  of  thy

forth  a fire  from  the  midst  ot  thee,  1 o ggg  28. 2. 
it  shall  devour  thee,  and  I will

in  the  sight  of  all  them  that  behold

19  All  they  that  know  thee  among 
the  people  shall  be  astonished  at 
thee:  Hhou  shalt  be  ^a  terror,  and 
never  shalt  thou  be  any  more. 

20  H Again  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

21  Son  of  man,  ‘^set  thy  face  ^a- 
gainst  Zi-d5n,  and  prophesy  against 

^22  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Behold,  I am  against  thee, 

0 Zi-don ; and  I will  be  glorified 
in  the  midst  of  thee : and  * they 
shall  know  that  I am  the  Lord, 
when  I shall  have  executed  ]udg- 
raents  in  her,  and  shall  be  ^sanc- 
tified in  her. 

23  ”For  I will  send  into  her  pesti- 
lence, and  blood  into  her  streets ; 
and  the  wounded  shall  be  judged  in 
the  midst  of  her  by  the  sword  upon 
her  on  every  side ; and  they  shall 
know  that  I am  the  Lord. 

24  ^ And  there  shall  be  no  more 
^’a  pricking  brier  unto  the  house 
of  Is-ra-el,  nor  any  grieving  thorn 
of  all  that  are  round  about  them, 
bhat  despised  them ; and  they  shall 
know  that  I am  the  Lord  GIod. 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; When 

1 shall  have  ^ gathered  the  house 

of  Is-ra-6l  from  the  people  among 
whom  they  are  scattered,  and  shall 
be  * sanctified  in  them  in  the  sight 
of  the  heathen,  then  shall  they  dwell 
in  their  land  that  I have  given  to 
my  servant  Ja-c5b.  „ « ^ i 

26  And  they  shall  ^dwell  ®safely 
therein,  and  shall  ^ build  houses, 
and  "plant  vineyards;  yea,  they 
shall  dwell  with  confidence,  when 
I have  executed  judgments  upon 
all  those  that  Mespise  them  round 
about  them ; and  they  shall  know 
that  I am  the  Lord  their  God.

4 But  H will  put  hooks  in  thy  jaws, 
and  I will  cause  the  fish  of  thy  rivers 
to  stick  unto  thy  scales,  and  I will 
bring  thee  up  out  of  the  midst  of 
thy  rivers,  and  all  the  fish  of  thy 
rivers  shall  stick  unto  thy  scales. 

5 And  I will  leave  thee  thrown  into 
the  wilderness,  thee  and  all  the  fish 
of  thy  rivers  : thou  shalt  fall  upon 
the  ^open  fields  ; -^thou  shalt  not  be

have  given  thee  for  meat  to  the

6 And  all  the  inhabitants  of  E-gypt 
shall  know  that  I am  the  Lmid,

7 ""When  they  took  hold  of  thee

8 II  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord

9 And  the  land  of  E-gypt  shall  be

10  Behold,  therefore  I am  against

I will  make  the  land  of  E-gypt

shall  no  more  rule  over  the  nations. 

16  And  it  shall  be  no  more  “the

which  bringeth  their  iniquity  to  re- 
membrance, when  they  shall  look 
after  them:  but  they  shall  know 
that  I am  the  Lord  God. 

17  U And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
seven  and  twentieth  year,  in  the 
first  month,  in  the  first  day  of  the 
month,  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  ‘^Neb-u-ehad-r6z- 
zar  king  of  Bab-y-l5n  caused  his 
army  to  serve  a great  service  against 
Ty-rus  : every  head  was  made  bald, 
and  every  shoulder  was  peeled  : yet 
had  he  no  wages,  nor  his  army,  for 
Ty-riis,  for  the  service  that  he  had 
served  against  it : 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
Gop ; Behold,  I will  give  the  land 
of  E-gypt  unto  Neb-u-ehad-rez-zar 
king  of  Bab-y-l5n ; and  he  shall 
take  her  multitude,  and  ^take  her 
spoil,  and  take  her  prey ; and  it 
shall  be  the  wages  for  his  army. 

20  I have  given  him  the  land  of 
E-gypt  "^for  his  labour  wherewith 
he  * served  against  it,  because  they 
wrought  for  me,  saith  the  Lora 
God. 

21  H In  that  day  ^will  I cause  the 
horn  of  the  house  of  Is-ra-6l  to  bud 
forth,  and  I will  give  thee  ’^the 
opening  of  the  mouth  in  the  midst 
of  them ; and  they  shall  know  that 
I am  the  Lord.

2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  and  say, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; * Howl 
ye.  Woe  worth  the  day ! 

3  For  "'the  day  is  near,  even  the 
day  of  the  Lord  is  near,  a cloudy 
day  • it  shall  be  the  time  of  the 
heathen. 

4  And  the  sword  shall  come  upon 
E-gypt,  and  great  ^pain  shall  be  in 
E-tm-o-pi-a,  when  the  slain  shall

8 And  they  shall  know  that  I am

9 In  that  day  ‘'shall  messengers

12  And  ^I  will  make  the  rivers

is  therein,  by  the  hand  of  strangers : 
I the  Lord  have  spoken  it.

"^Sin,  the  strength  of  E-gypt ; and 
*I  will  cut  off  the  multitude  of  No. 

16  And  I will  “set  fire  in  E-gypt : 
Sin  shall  have  great  pain,  and  No

shall  have  distresses  daily. 

17  The  young  men  of  ®A-ven  and

to  be  healed,  to  put  a roller  to  bind 
it,  to  make  it  strong  to  hold  the

22  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Behold,  I am  against  Pha- 
raoh king  of  E-gypt,  and  will  break 
his  arms,  the  strong,  and  that  which 
was  broken  ; and  I will  cause  the 
sword  to  fall  out  of  his  hand. 

23  *And  I will  scatter  the  E-gyp- 
tians  among  the  nations,  and  will 
disperse  them  through  the  coun- 
tries. 

24  And  I will  strengthen  the  arms 
of  the  king  of  Bab-y-l5n,  and  put 
my  sword  in  his  hand : but  I will 
break  Pha-raoh’s  arms,  and  he  shall 
groan  before  him  with  the  groanings 
of  a deadly  wounded  Tiian. 

25  But  I will  strengthen  the  arms 
of  the  king_  of  Bab-y-l5n,  and  the 
arms  of  Pha-raoh  shall  fall  down ; 
and  ^'they  shall  know  that  I am  the 
Lord,  when  I shall  put  my  sword 
into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Bab- 
:y-l6n,  and  he  shall  stretch  it  out 
upon  the  land  of  E%ypt. 

26  *And  I will  scatter  the  E-gyp-

perse them  among  the  countries; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I am  the

the  field  bring  forth  their  young, 
and  under  his  shadow  dwelt  all 
great  nations. 

7 Thus  was  he  fair  in  his  greatness, 
in  the  length  of  his  branches : for 
his  root  was  by  great  waters. 

8 The  cedars  in  the  "garden  of  God 
could  not  hide  him : the  fir  trees 
were  not  like  his  boughs,  and  the 
chesnut  trees  were  not  like  his 
branches ; nor  any  tree  in  the  gar- 
den of  God  was  like  unto  him  in 
his  beauty. 

9 I have  made  him  fair  by  the 
multitude  of  his  branches : so  that 
all  the  trees  of  E-den,  that  were  in 
the  garden  of  God,  envied  him. 

10  ^ Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Because  thou  hast  lifted  up 
thyself  in  height,  and  he  hath  shot 
up  his  top  among  the  thick  boughs, 
and  •'^his  heart  is  lifted  up  in  his 
height ; 

111  have  therefore  delivered  him 
into  the  hand  of  the  mighty  one  of 
the  heathen ; ^ he  shall  surely  deal 
with  him:  I have  driven  him  out 
for  his  wickedness. 

12  And  strangers,  the  terrible  of 
the  nations,  have  cut  him  off,  and 
have  left  him:  ’^upon  the  moun- 
tains and  in  all  the  valleys  his 
branches  are  fallen,  and  his  boughs 
are  broken  by  all  the  rivers  of  the 
land ; and  all  the  people  of  the 
earth  are  gone  down  from  his 
shadow,  and  have  left  him. 

13  *Upon  his  ruin  shall  all  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven  remain,  and 
all  the  beasts  of  the  field  shall  be 
upon  his  branches : 

14  To  the  end  that  none  of  all  the 
trees  by  the  waters  exalt  themselves 
for  their  height,  neither  shoot  up 
their  top  among  the  thick  boughs, 
neither  their  trees  ^ stand  up  in 
their  height,  all  that  drink  water : 
for  "they  are  all  delivered  unto 
death,  ^to  the  nether  parts  of  the 
earth,  in  the  midst  of  the  children 
of  men,  with  them  that  go  down  to 
the  pit. 

1 5 Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; In 
the  day  when  he  went  down  to 
the  grave  I caused  a mourning:  I 
covered  the  de^  for  him,  and  I 
restrained  the  floods  thereof,  and 
the  great  waters  were  stayed  : and 
I caused  Leb-a-n5n  ’to  mourn  for 
him,  and  all  the  trees  of  the  field 
fainted  for  him. 

16  1 made  the  nations  to  * shake  at 
the  sound  of  his  fall,  when  I ^cast 
him  down  to  hell  with  them  that 
descend  into  the  pit : and  *all  the 
trees  of  E-dgn,  the  choice  and  best 
of  Leb-a-nOn.  all  that  drink  water.

A lamentation  for  the  fearful  fall  of  Egypt. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  twelfth 
year,  in  the  twelfth  month,  in 
the  first  day  of  the  month,  that  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me, 
saying, 

2 Son  of  man,  * take  up  a lamenta- 
tion for  Pha-raoh  king  of  E-gypt, 
and  say  unto  him,  ""Thou  art  like 
a young  lion  of  the  nations,  "and 
thou  art  as  a ^ whale  in  the  seas : 
and  thou  earnest  forth  with  thy 
rivers,  and  troubledst  the  waters 
with  thy  feet,  and  ^fouledst  their 
rivers. 

3 Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; I will 
therefore  ""spread  out  my  net  over 
thee  with  a company  of  many  peo- 
ple; and  they  shall  bring  thee  up 
in  my  net. 

4 Then  "will  I leave  thee  upon 
the  land,  I will  cast  thee  forth 
upon  the  open  field,  and  * will 
cause  all  the  fowls  of  the  heaven 
to  remain  upon  thee,  and  I will 
fill  the  beasts  of  the  whole  earth 
with  thee. 

5 And  I will  lay  thy  flesh  *upon 
the  mountains,  and  fill  the  valleys 
with  thy  height. 

6 I will  also  water  with  thy  blood 
^ the  land  wherein  thou  swimmest, 
even  to  the  mountains ; and  the 
rivers  shall  be  full  of  thee. 

7 And  when  I shall  ® put  thee  out, 
®I  will  cover  the  heaven,  and  make 
the  stars  thereof  dark  ; I will  cover 
the  sun  with  a cloud,  and  the  moon 
shall  not  give  her  li^ht. 

8 All  the  ® bright  lights  of  heaven 
will  I make  '^dark  over  thee,  and 
set  darkness  upon  thy  land,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

9 I will  also  ® vex  the  hearts  of 
many  people,  when  I shall  bring 
thy  destruction  among  the  nations, 
into  the  countries  which  thou  hast 
not  known.

that  taketh  warning  shall  deliver 
his  soul. 

6 But  if  the  watchman  see  the 
sword  come,  and  blow  not  the 
trumpet,  and  the  people  be  not 
warned;  if  the  sword  come,  and 
take  any  person  from  among  them, 

he  is  taken  away  in  his  iniquity ; 
but  his  blood  will  I require  at  the 
watchman’s  hand. 

7 H ” So  thou,  O son  of  man,  I have 
set  thee  a watchman  unto  the  house 
of  Is-ra-el ; therefore  thou  shalt  hear 
the  word  at  my  mouth,  and  warn 
them  from  me. 

8 When  I say  unto  the  wicked,  O 
wicked  man,  thou  shalt  surely  die ; 
if  thou  dost  not  speak  to  v/arn  the 
wicked  from  his  way,  that  wicked 
man  shall  die  in  his  iniquity;  but 
his  blood  will  I require  at  thine 
hand. 

9 Nevertheless,  if  thou  warn  the 
wicked  of  his  way  to  turn  from  it ; 
if  he  do  not  turn  from  his  way,  he 
shall  die  in  his  iniquity ; but  thou 
hast  delivered  thy  soul. 

10  Therefore,  O thou  son  of  inan, 
speak  unto  the  house  of  IsYa-el; 
Thus  ye  speak,  saying.  If  our  trans- 
gressions and  our  sins  be  upon  us, 
and  we  *pine  away  in  them,  ^how 
should  we  then  live*? 

11  Say  unto  them.  As  I live,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  “ I have  no  pleasure 
in  the  death  of  the  wicked  ; but 
that  the  wicked  turn  from  his  way 
and  live : turn  ye,  turn  ye  from 
your  evil  ways  ; for  * why  will  ye 
die,  O house  of  Is-ra-gU 

12  Therefore,  thou  son  of  man, 
say  unto  the  children  of  thy  people, 


7G4 


Equity  of  God's  dealings. EZEKIEL,  34.  A reproof  of  the  shepherds. 


The  “ righteousness  of  the  righteous 
shall  not  deliver  him  in  the  day  of 
his  transgression : as  for  the  wick- 
edness of  the  wicked,  * he  shall  not 
fall  thereby  in  the  day  that  he 
turneth  from  his  wickedness;  nei- 
ther shall  the  righteous  be  able  to 
live  for  his  righteousness  in  the 
day  that  he  sinneth. 

13  When  I shall  say  to  the  right- 
eous, that  he  shall  surely  live ; ^ if 
he  trust  to  his  own  righteousness, 
and  commit  iniquity,  all  his  right- 
eousnesses shall  not  be  remem- 
bered ; but  for  his  iniquity  that 
he  hath  committed,  he  shall  die 
for  it. 

14  Again,  *when  I say  unto  the 
wicked.  Thou  shalt  surely  die;  if 
he  turn  from  his  sin,  and  do  ^ that 
which  is  lawful  and  right ; 

15  If  the  wicked  restore  the 
pledge,  "give  again  that  he  had 
robbed,  walk  in  ® the  statutes  of  life, 
without  committing  iniquity ; he 
shall  surely  live,  he  shall  not  die. 

16  ’’None  of  his  sins  that  he  hath 
committed  shall  be  mentioned  unto 
him : he  hath  done  that  which  is 
lawful  and  right ; he  shall  surely 
live. 

17  H * Yet  the  children  of  thy  peo- 
ple say.  The  way  of  the  Lord  is  not 
equal : but  as  for  them,  their  way 
is  not  equal. 

18  “When  the  righteous  turneth 
from  his  righteousness,  and  com- 
mitteth  iniquity,  he  shall  even  die 
thereby. 

19  But  if  the  wicked  turn  from 
his  wickedness,  and  do  that  which 
is  lawful  and  right,  he  shall  live 
thereby. 

20  U Yet  ye  say,  “The  way  of  the 
Lord  is  not  equal,  O ye  house  of 
Is-ra-6l,  I will  judge  you  every  one 
after  his  ways. 

21  H And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
twelfth  year  ®of  our  captivity,  in

of  the  month,  "^that  one  that  had

25  Wherefore  say  unto  them,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  ; Ye  eat  with 
the  blood,  and  ‘^lift  up  your  eyes 
toward  your  idols,  and  ®shed  blood  : 
and  shall  ye  possess  the  land  % 

26  Ye  stand  upon  your  sword,  ye 
work  abomination,  and  ye  -^defile 
every  one  his  neighbour’s  wife : 
and  shall  ye  possess  the  land? 

27  Say  thou  thus  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  ; As  I live, 
surely  they  that  are  in  the  wastes 
shall  fall  by  the  sword,  and  him 
that  is  in  the  open  field  ’^will  I 
give  to  the  beasts  ^ to  be  devoured, 
and  they  that  be  in  the  forts  and 
*in  the  caves  shall  die'  of  the  pes- 
tilence. 

28  'For  I will  lay  the  land  ^most 
desolate,  and  the  “pomp  of  her 
strength  shall  cease ; and  ^the  moun- 
tains of  Ish4-el  shall  be  desolate, 
that  none  shall  pass  through. 

29  Then  shall  they  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  when  I have  laid  the 
land  most  desolate  because  of  all 
their  abominations  which  they  have 
committed. 

30  ^ Also,  thou  son  of  man,  the 
children  of  thy  people  still  are  talk- 
ing ^against  thee  by  the  walls  and  in 
the  doors  of  the  houses,  and  ' speak 
one  to  another,  every  one  to  his 
brother,  saying.  Come,  I pray  you, 
and  hear  what  is  the  word  that 
cometh  forth  from  the  Lord. 

31  And  *they  come  unto  thee  ®as 
the  people  cometh,  and  ®they  ^sit 
before  thee  as  my  people,  and  they 
hear  thy  words,  but  they  will  not  do 
them : ^ for  with  their  mouth  ’ they 
shew  much  love,  but  Hheir  heart 
goeth  after  their  covetousness. 

32  And,  lo,  thou  art  unto  them  as 
® a very  lovely  song  of  one  that  hath 
a pleasant  voice,  and  can  play  well 
on  an  instrument : for  they  hear 
thy  words,  but  they  do  them  not. 

33  ® And  when  this  cometh  to  pass, 
(lo,  it  will  come,)  then  shall  they 
know  that  a prophet  hath  been

1 A reproof  of  the  shepherds.  7 Qod's  judgment  against 

them.  11  His  providence.  20  Kingdom  of  Christ. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

2 Son  of  man,  prophesy  against 
the  shepherds  of  IsYa-6l,  prophesy, 
and  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  unto  the  shepherds ; Woe 
be  to  the  shepherds  of  IsYa-6l  that 
do  feed  themselves  ! should  not  the 
shepherds  feed  the  flocks  ? 


7C5 


God^s  care  for  his  flock. 


EZEKIEL,  34. 


3 “ Ye  eat  the  fat,  and  ye  clothe  you 
with  the  wool,  *ye  kill  them  that 
are  fed : but  ye  feed  not  the  flock. 

4 ‘'The  diseased  have  ye  not  streng- 
thened, neither  have  ye  healed  that 
which  was  sick,  neither  have  ye 
bound  up  that  which  was  broken, 
neither  have  ve  brought  again  that 
which  was  driven  away,  neither 
have  ye  ^sought  that  which  w^® 
lost;  but  with  ''force  and  with 
cruelty  have  ye  ruled  them. 

5 *And  they  were  'scattered,  ^be- 
cause there  is  no  shepherd : ”*and 
they  became  meat  to  all  the  beasts 
of  the  field,  when  they  were  scat- 
tered. 

6 My  sheep  wandered  through  all 
the  mountains,  and  upon  every  high 
hill : yea,  my  flock  was  scattered 
upon  all  the  face  of  the  earth,  and 
none  did  search  or  seek  after  them. 

7 H Therefore,  ye  shepherds,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord  ; 

8 As  I live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
surely  because  my  flock  became  a 
prey,  and  my  flock  became  meat 
to  every  beast  of  the  field,  because 
there  was  no  shepherd,  neither  did 
my  shepherds  search  tor  my  flock, 
but  the  shepherds  fed  themselves, 
and  fed  not  my  flock ; 

9 Therefore,  O ye  shepherds,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord  ; 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Be- 
hold, I am  against  the  shepherds ; 
and  will  require  my  flock  at  their 
hand,  and  cause  them  to  cease  from 
feeding  the  flock ; neither  shall  the 
shepherds  feed  themselves  any 
more;  for  I will  deliver  my  flock 
from  their  mouth,  that  they  may 
not  be  meat  for  them. 

11  II  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Behold,  I,  even  I,  will  both  search 
my  sheep,  and  seek  them  out. 

12  ^As  a shepherd  seeketh  out  his 
flock  in  the  day  that  he  is  among 
his  sheep  that  are  scattered ; so 
will  I seek  out  my  sheep,  and  will 
deliver  them  out  of  all  places  where 
they  have  been  scattered  in  '‘the 
cloudy  and  dark  day. 

13  And  will  bring  them  out 
from  the  people,  and  gather  them 
from  the  countries,  and  will  bring 
them  to  their  own  land,  and  feed 
them  upon  the  mountains  of  Is- 
ra-6l  by  the  rivers,  and  in  all  the 
inhabited  places  of  the  country. 

14  will  feed  them  in  a good  pas- 
ture, and  upon  the  high  mountains 
of  Is-ra-6l  shall  their  fold  be  ; •'there 
shall  they  lie  in  a good  fold,  and  in 
a fat  pasture  shall  they  feed  upon 
the  mountains  of  Is-ra-6l.

18  Seemeth  it  a small  thing  unto 
you  to  have  eaten  up  the  good  pas- 
ture, but  ye  must  tread  down  with 
your  feet  the  residue  of  your  pas- 
tures? and  to  have  drunk  of  the 
deep  waters,  but  ye  must  foul  the 
residue  with  your  feet  ? 

19  And  as  for  my  flock,  they  eat 
that  which  ye  have  trodden  with 
your  feet ; and  they^  drink  that 
which  ye  have  fouled  with  your  feet. 

20  ^ Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  unto  them ; Behold,  I,  even  I, 
will  judge  between  the  fat  cattle 
and  between  the  lean  cattle. 

21  Because  ye  have  thrust  with 
side  and  with  shoulder,  and  pushed 
all  the  diseased  with  your  horns, 
till  ye  have  scattered  them  abroad ; 

22  Therefore  will  I save  my  flock, 
and  they  shall  no  more  be  a prey ; 
and  I will  judge  between  cattle  and 
cattle.

Peven  my  servant  Da-vid;  he  shall

CHAPTER  35. 

The  judgment  of  mount  Seir. 

Moreover  the  word  of  the 

Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man^  set  thy  face  a- 
gainst  * mount  Sedr,  and  * prophesy 
against  it, 

3  And  say  unto  it.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ; Behold,  O mount  Se-ir,  I 
am  against  thee,  and  will  stretch 
out  mine  hand  against  thee,  and  I 
will  make  thee  ®most  desolate. 

4  I will  lay  thy  cities  waste,  and 
thou  shalt  be  desolate,  and  thou 
shalt  know  that  I am  the  Lord. 

5  ^Because  thou  hast  had  a ® per- 
petual hatred,  and  hast  '^shed  the 
blood  of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el  by 
the  ^ force  of  the  sword  in  the  time 
of  their  calamity,  ^in  the  time  that 
their  iniquity  had  an  end  : 

6  Therefore,  as  I live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  I will  prepare  thee  unto 
blood,  and  blood  shall  pursue  thee  : 
“sith  thou  hast  not  hated  blood, 
even  blood  shall  pursue  thee. 

7  Thus  will  I make  mount  Se4r 
^rnost  desolate,  and  cut  off  from  it 
*him  that  passeth  out  and  him  that 
returneth. 

8  And  I will  fill  his  mountains

I will  make  myself  known  among 
them,  when  I have  judged  thee. 

12  ^And  thou  shalt  know  that  1 
am  the  Lord,  and  that  I have  heard

CHAPTER  36. 

1 The  land  of  Israel  is  comforted.  8 The  blessings  of  God 
promised  unto  it.  16  Israel  was  rejected  for  their  sin. 
25  The  blessings  of  Christ's  kingdom. 

ALSO,  thou  son  of  man,  prophesy 
unto  the  ” mountains  of  Is-ra-el, 
and  say.  Ye  mountains  of  Is-ra-el, 
hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  : 

2 Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; Be- 
cause "the  enemy  hath  said  against 
you.  Aha,  ^even  the  ancient  high 
places  ’’are  our’s  in  possession : 

3 Therefore  prophesy  and  say. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; ® Because 
they  have  made  you  desolate,  and 
swallowed  you  up  on  every  side, 
that  ye  might  be  a possession  unto 
the  residue  of  the  heathen,  ^and  ^ ye 
are  taken  up  in  the  lips  of  talkers, 
and  are  an  infamy  of  the  people : 

4 Therefore,  ye  mountains  of  Is- 
ra-6l,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord 
God  ; Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  to 
the  mountains,  and  to  the  hills,  to 
the  ^rivers,  and  to  the  valleys,  to 
the  desolate  wastes,  and  to  the  cities 
that  are  forsaken,  which  ^became  a 
prey  and  * derision  to  the  residue  of 
the  heathen  that  are  round  about ; 

5 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; “ Surely  in  the  fire  of  my 
jealousy  have  I spoken  against  the 
residue  of  the  heathen,  and  against 
all  Id-u-me-a, ‘^which  have  appointed 
my  land  into  their  possession  with 
the  joy  of  all  their  heart,  with  de- 
spiteful minds,  to  cast  it  out  for 
a prey. 

6 Prophesy  therefore  concerning 
the  land  of  IsYa-6l,  and  say  unto 
the  mountains,  and  to  the  hills,  to 
the  rivers,  and  to  the  valleys.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  ; Behold,  I have 
spoken  in  my  jealousy  and  in  my

fury,  because  ye  have  “borne  the 
shame  of  the  heathen : 

7 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; I have  ‘'lifted  up  mine  hand, 
Surely  the  heathen  that  art  about 
yom  they  shall  bear  their  shame. 

8 II  But  ye,  O mountains  of  Is-ra-el, 
ye  shall  shoot  forth  your  branches, 
and  yield  your  fruit  to  my  people 
of  Is-ra-el ; for  they  are  at  hand  to 
eome. 

9 For,  behold,  I am  for  you,  and  I 
will  turn  unto  you,  and  ye  shall  be 
tilled  and  sown : 

10  And  I will  multiply  men  upon 
you,  all  the  house  of  Is-ra-el,  even 
all  of  it : and  the  cities  shall  be 
inhabited,  and  -^the  wastes  shall  be 
build  ed : 

11  And  will  multiply  upon  you 
man  and  beast ; and  they  shall  in- 
crease and  bring  fruit : and  I will 
settle  you  after  your  old  estates, 
and  will  do  better  unto  you  than 
at  your  beginnings : *and  ye  shall 
know  that  I am  the  Lord. 

12  Yea,  I will  cause  men  to  walk 
upon  you,  even  my  people  Is-ra-el* 
"‘^and  they  shall  possess  thee,  and 
thou  shalt  be  their  inheritance,  and 
thou  shalt  no  more  henceforth  ‘’be- 
reave them  of  men. 

1 3 Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; Be- 
cause they  say  unto  you,  ®Thou 
land  devourest  up  men,  and  hast 
bereaved  thy  nations ; 

14  Therefore  thou  shalt  devour 
men  no  more,  neither  ^bereave  thy 
nations  any  more,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

15  ® Neither  will  I cause  men  to 
hear  in  thee  the  shame  of  the  hea- 
then any  more,  neither  shalt  thou 
bear  the  reproach  of  the  people  any 
more,  neither  shalt  thou  cause  thy 
nations  to  fall  any  more,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

16  H Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

17  Son  of  man,  when  the  house 
of  Is-ra-el  dwelt  in  their  own  land, 
*they  defiled  it  by  their  own  way 
and  by  their  doings  : their  way  was 
before  me  as  ‘'the  uncleanness  of  a 
removed  woman. 

18  Wherefore  I poured  my  fury 
upon  them  ®for  the  blood  that  they 
had  shed  upon  the  land,  and  for 
their  idols  wherewith  they  had  pol- 
luted it : 

19  And  I scattered  them  among 
the  heathen,  and  they  were  dis- 
persed through  the  countries : ^ac- 
cording to  their  way  and  according 
to  their  doings  I judged  them. 

20  And  when  they  entered  unto 
the  heathen,  whither  they  went.

they  said  to  them.  These  are  the

2 1 H But  I had  pity  ‘^for  mine  holy

had  profaned  among  the  heathen, 
whither  they  went. 

22  Therefore  say  unto  the  house

God  ; I do  not  this  for  your  sakes,

profaned  among  tne  heathen,  whi-

the  heathen,  which  ye  have  pro- 
faned in  the  midst  of  them  ; and 
the  heathen  shall  know  that  I am 
the  Lord,  saith  the  Lord  God,  when 

1 shall  be  '‘sanctified  in  you  before 
Hheir  eyes. 

24  For  ‘T  will  take  you  from  among 
the  heathen,  and  gather  you  out 
of  all  countries,  and  will  bring  you 
into  your  own  land. 

25  il  'Then  will  I sprinkle  clean

from  all  your  idols,  will  I cleanse 
you. 

26  A ^new  heart  also  will  I give 
you,  and  a new  spirit  will  I put 
within  you : and  1 will  take  away 
the  stony  heart  out  of  your  flesh,

you  from  all  your  iniquities  I will 
also  cause  you  to  dwell  in  the  cities,

34  And  the  desolate  land  shall  be

CHAPTER  37. 

1 By  the  resurrection  of  dry  bones,  11  the  dead  hope  of 
Israel  is  revived.  20  Of  Christ's  kingdom. 

The  ""hand  of  the  Loed  was  upon 
me,  and  carried  me  out  ”in  the 
spirit  of  the  Loed,  and  set  me  down 
in  the  midst  of  the  valley  which 
was  full  of  bones, 

2  And  caused  me  to  pass  by  them 
round  about : and,  behold,  there  were 
very  many  in  the  open  ^valley ; and, 
lo,  they  were  very  dry. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  can  these  bones  livel  And 
I answered,  O Lord  God,  ^^thou 
knowest. 

4  Again  he  said  unto  me.  Pro- 
phesy upon  these  bones,  and  say 
unto  them,  O ye  dry  bones,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Loed. 

5  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  unto 
these  bones  ; Behold,  I will  * cause 
breath  to  enter  into  you,  and  ye 
shall  live : 

6  And  I will  lay  sinews  upon  you, 
and  will  bring  up  flesh  upon  you, 
and  coyer  you  with  skin,  and  put 
breath  in  you,  and  ye  shall  live; 
^and  ye  shall  know  that  I am  the 
Loed. 

7  So  I prophesied  as  I was  com- 
manded : and  as  I prophesied,  there 
was  a noise,  and  behold  a shaking, 
and  the  bones  came  together,  bone 
to  his  bone. 

8  And  when  I beheld,  lo,  the  sin- 
ews and  the  flesh  came  up  upon 
them,  and  the  skin  covered  them

above : but  ilwre  was  no  breath  in 
them. 

9 Then  said  he  unto  me,  Prophesy 
unto  the  ^wind,  prophesy,  son  of 
man,  and  say  to  the  wind.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  ; ^’Come  from 
the  four  winds,  O breath,  and 
breathe  upon  these  slain,  that  they 
may  live. 

10  So  I prophesied  as  he  com- 
manded me,  ‘*and  the  breath  came 
into  them,  and  they  lived,  and  stood 
up  upon  their  feet,  an  exceeding 
great  army. 

1 1 H Then  he  said^  unto  me.  Son 
of  man,  these  bones  are  the  whole 
house  of  Is-ra-gl : behold,  they  say, 
{Our  bones  are  dried,  and  our  hope 
is  lost : we  are  cut  on  for  our  parts. 

12  Therefore  prophesy  and  say 
unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; Behold,  *0  my  people,  I will 
open  your  graves,  and  cause  you  to 
come  up  out  of  your  graves,  and 
* bring  you  into  the  land  of  Is- 
ra-el. 

13  And  ye  shall  know  that  I am 
the  Loed,  when  I have  opened  your 
graves,  O my  people,  and  brought 
you  up  out  of  your  graves,  ^ 

14  And  ^ shall  put  my  spirit  in  you, 
and  ye  shall  live,  and  I shall  place 
you  in  your  own  land : then  shall 
ye  know  that  I the  Loed  have 
spoken  it,  and  performed  it,  saith 
the  Loed. 

15  H The  word  of  the  Loed  came 
again  unto  me,  saying, 

16  Moreover,  thou  son  of  man, 
"take  thee  one  stick,  and  write 
upon  it.  For  Ju-dah,  and  for  ^the 
children  of  Is-ra-el  his  companions : 
then  take  another  stick,  and  write 
upon  it,  For  Jo-sgph,  the  stick  of 
E-phra-im,  and  for  all  the  house 
of  Is-ra-el  his  companions : 

1 7 And  ’■join  them  one  to  another 
into  one  stick ; and  they  shall  be- 
come one  in  thine  hand. 

1 8 51  And  when  the  children  of  thy 
people  shall  speak  unto  thee,  say- 
ing, *Wilt  thou  not  shew  us  what 
thou  meanest  by  these  1 

19  “Say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  • Behold,  I will  take  "^the 
stick  of  Jo-seph,  which  is  in  the 
hand  of  E-phra-im,  and  the  tribes 
of  Is-ra-6l  His  fellows,  and  will  put 
them  with  him,  even  with  the  stick 
of  Ju-dah,  and  make  them  one

20  51  And  the  sticks  whereon  thou 
writest  shall  be  in  thine  Hand  ^be- 
fore their  eyes.

brought  back  from  the  sword,  ^and

a storm,  thou  shalt  be  like  a cloud 
to  cover  the  land,  thou,  and  all  thy

thou  he  of  whom  I have  spoken 
in  old  time  ^by  my  servants  the

same  time  when  G5g  shall  come 
against  the  land  of  Is-ra-el,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  that  my  fury  shall 
come  up  in  my  face. 

19  For  •''in  my  jealousy  ^and  in

face  of  the  earth,  shall  shake  at  my 
presence,  "and  the  mountains  shall 
be  thrown  down,  and  the  ® steep 
places  shall  fall,  and  every  wall 
shall  fall  to  the  ground. 

21  And  I will  ^call  for  «’a  sword  a- 
gainst  him  throughout  all  my  moun-

with  “ pestilence  and  with  blood ; 
and  will  rain  upon  him,  and  up- 
on his  bands,  and  upon  the  many 
peojjle  that  are  with  him,  an  over- 
flowing rain,  and  great  hailstones, 
fire,  and  brimstone. 

23  Thus  will  I magnify  myself, 
and  * sanctify  myself;  “and  I will

on  every  side  to  my  ^sacrifice  that 
I do  sacrifice  for  you,  even  a great

18  ^Ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the 
mighty,  and  drink  the  blood  of  the 
princes  of  the  earth,  of  rams,  of 
lambs,  and  of  ^ goats,  of  bullocks, 
all  of  them  *fatlings  of  Ba-shan. 

19  And  ye  shall  eat  fat  till  ye 
be  full,  and  drink  blood  till  ye  be 
drunken,  of  my  sacrifice  which  I 
have  sacrificed  for  you. 

20  ”Thus  ye  shall  be  filled  at  my 
table  with  horses  and  chariots,  "with 
mighty  men,  and  with  all  men  of 
war,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

21  ^And  I will  set  my  glory  among 

the  heathen,  and  all  the  heathen 
shall  see  my  judgment  that  I have 
executed,  and^my  hand  that  I have 
laid  upon  them.  ^ 

22  “So  the  house  of  Is-ra-6l  shall 
know  that  I am  the  Lord  their  God 
from  that  day  and  forward. 

23  H ^And  the  heathen  shall  know 
that  the  house  of  Is-ra-el  went  into 
captivity  for  their  iniquity : because 
they  trespassed  against  me,  there- 
fore “ hid  I my  face  from  them,  and 
^gave  them  into  the  hand  of  their 
enemies : so  fell  they  all  by  the 
sword. 

24  ‘^According  to  their  uncleanness 
and  according  to  their  transgres- 
sions have  I done  unto  them,  and 
hid  my  face  from  them. 

25  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; "Now  will  I bring  again  the 
captivity  of  Ja--e6b,  and  have  mercy 
upon  the  •''whole  house  of  ls-ra-6l,

our  captivity,  in  the  beginning 
of  the  year,  in  the  tenth  day  of  the 
month,  in  the  fourteenth  year  after 
that  '‘the  city  was  smitten,  in  the 
selfsame  day  *the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  upon  me,  and  brought  me 
thither. 

2 'In  the  visions  of  God  brought 
he  me  into  the  land  of  Is-ra-6l,  “‘and 
set  me  upon  a very  high  mountain, 
®by  which  was  as  the  frame  of  a 
city  on  the  south. 

3 And  he  brought  me  thither, 
and,  hehold,  there  was  a man,  whose 
appearance  was  ^like  the  appear- 
ance of  brass,  ‘’with  a line  of  flax 
in  his  hand,  'and  a measuring  reed; 
and  he  stood  in  the  gate. 

4 And  the  man  said  unto  me,  *Son 
of  man,  hehold  with  thine  eyes, 
and  hear  with  thine  ears,  and  set 
thine  heart  upon  all  that  I shall 
shew  thee;  for  to  the  intent  that 
I might  shew  them  unto  thee  art 
thou  brought  hither : * declare  all 
that  thou  seest  to  the  house  of

side of  the  house  round  about,  and 
the  man’s  hand  a measuring

bit  and  an  hand  breadth : so  he 
measured  the  breadth  of  the  build- 
ing, one  reed ; and  the  height,  one 

6 if  Then  came  he  unto  the  gate 
® which  looketh  toward  the  east, 
and  went  up  the  stairs  thereof, 
and  measured  the  threshold  of  the 
gate,  which  was  one  reed  broad; 
and  the  other  threshold  of  the  gate, 
which  was  one  reed  broad. 

7 And  every  little  chamber  was 
one  reed  long,  and  one  reed  broad  ; 
and  between  the  little  chambers 
were  five  cubits  ; and  the  threshold 
of  the  gate  by  the  porch  of  the  gate 
within  was  one  reed. 

8 He  measured  also  the  porch  of 
the  gate  within,  one  reed. 

9 Then  measured  he  the  porch  of 
the  gate,  eight  cubits ; and  the  posts

thereof,  two  cubits ; and  the  porch 
of  the  gate  was  inward. 

10  And  the  little  chambers  of  the 
gate  eastward  wei  d three  on  this 
side,  and  three  on  that  side ; they 
three  were  of  one  measure  : and  the 
posts  had  one  measure  on  this  side 
and  on  that  side. 

1 1 And  he  measured  the  breadth 
of  the  entry  of  the  gate,  ten  cubits; 
and  XhQ  length  of  the  gate,  thirteen 
cubits. 

12  The  ^ space  also  before  the  little 
chambers  was  one  cubit  on  this 
side,  and  the  space  was  one  cubit 
on  that  side : and  the  little  cham- 
bers were  six  cubits  on  this  side, 
and  six  cubits  on  that  side. 

1 3 He  measured  then  the  gate  from 
the  roof  of  one  little  chamber  to  the 
roof  of  another:  the  breadth  was 
five  and  twenty  cubits,  door  against 
door. 

14  He  rnade  also  posts  of  three- 
score cubits,  even  unto  the  post  of 
the  court  round  about  the  gate. 

15  And  from  the  face  of  the  gate 
of  the  entrance  unto  the  face  of  the 
porch  of  the  inner  gate  were  fifty 
cubits. 

16  And  there  were  “narrow^  win- 
dows to  the  little  chambers,  and  to 
their  posts  within  the  gate  round 
about,  and  likewise  to  the  ^ arches  : 
and  windows  were  round  about 
^ inward : and  upon  each  post  were 
palm  trees. 

17  Then  brought  he  me  into  ^the 
outward  court,  and,  lo,  there  were 
**  chambers,  and  a pavement  made 
for  the  court  round  about : ® thirty 
chambers  were  upon  the  pavement. 

18  And  the  pavement  by  the  side 
of  the  gates  over  against  the  length 
of  the  gates  was  the  lower  pave- 
ment. 

1 9 Then  he  measured  the  breadth 
from  the  forefront  of  the  lower  gate 
unto  the  forefront  of  the  inner  court 
^without,  an  hundred  cubits  east- 
ward and  northward. 

20  ^ And  the  gate  of  the  outward 
court  ’^that  looked  toward  the  north, 
he  measured  the  length  thereof,  and 
the  breadth  thereof. 

21  And  the  little  chambers  there- 
of were  three  on  this  side  and  three 
on  that  side  ; and  the  posts  thereof 
and  the  ® arches  thereof  were  after 
the  measure  of  the  first  gate : the 
length  thereof  was  fifty  cubits,  and 
the  breadth  five  and  twenty  cubits. 

22  And  their  windows,  and  their 
arches,  and  their  palm  trees,  were 
after  the  measure  of  the  gate  that 
looketh  toward  the  east ; and  they 
Went  up  unto  it  by  seven  steps ;

them. 

23  And  the  gate  of  the  inner  court 
was  over  against  the  gate  toward 
the  north,  and  toward  the  east ; and 
he  measured  from  gate  to  gate  an 
hundred  cubits. 

24  U After  that  he  brought  me  to- 
ward the  south,  and  behold  a gate 
toward  the  south  : and  he  measured 
the  posts  thereof  and  the  arches 
thereof  according  to  these  measures. 

25  And  there  were  windows  in  it 
and  in  the  arches  thereof  round 
about,  like  those  windows : the 
length  was  fifty  cubits,  and  the 
breadth  five  and  twenty  cubits. 

26  And  there  were  seven  steps  to 
go  up  to  it,  and  the  arches  thereof 
were  before  them : and  it  had  palm 
trees,  one  on  this  side,  and  another 
on  that  side,  upon  the  posts  thereof. 

27  And  there  was  a gate  in  the 
inner  court  toward  the  south : and 
he  measured  from  gate  to  gate  to- 
ward the  south  an  hundred  cubits. 

28  And  he  brought  me  to  the  in- 
ner court  by  the  south  gate  : and  he 
measured  the  south  gate  according 
to  these  measures ; 

29  And  the  little  chambers  there- 
of, and  the  posts  thereof,  and  the 
arches  thereof,  according  to  these 
measures : and  there  were  windows 
in  it  and  in  the  arches  thereof  round

five  and  twenty  cubits  broad. 

30  And  the  arches  round  about 
were  '"five  and  twenty  cubits  long, 
and  five  cubits  ® broad. 

31  And  the  arches  thereof  were 
toward  the  utter  court;  and  palm 
trees  were  upon  the  posts  thereof: 
and  the  going  up  to  it  had  eight 
steps.

he  measured  the  gate  according  to 
these  measures. 

33  And  the  little  chambers  there- 
of, and  the  posts  thereof,  and  the 
arches  thereof,  were  according  to 
these  measures : and  there  were

side:  and  the  going  up  to  it  had 
eight  steps. 

35  U And  he  brought  me  to  the 
north  gate,  and  measured  it  accord- 
ing to  these  measures ; 

‘ 36  The  little  chambers  thereof,  the

posts  thereof,  and  the  arches  there- 
of, and  the  windows  to  it  round 
about : the  length  was  fifty  cubits, 
and  the  breadth  five  and  twenty 
cubits. 

37  And  the  posts  thereof  were  to- 
ward the  utter  court;  and  palm  trees 
were  upon  the  posts  thereof,  on  this 
side,  and  on  that  side : and  the  go- 
ing up  to  it  had  eight  steps. 

38  And  the  chambers  and  the  en- 
tries thereof  tvere  by  the  posts  of 
the  gates,  where  they  washed  the 
burnt  offering. 

39  U And  in  the  porch  of  the  gate 
were  two  tables  on  this  side,  and 
two  tables  on  that  side,  to  slay  there- 
on the  burnt  offering  and  ‘'the  sin 
offering  and  ‘^the  trespass  offering. 

40  And  at  the  side  without,  ^as  one 
goeth  up  to  the  entry  of  the  north 
gate,  were  two  tables ; and  on  the 
other  side,  which  was  at  the  porch 
of  the  gate,  were  two  tables.  ^ 

41  Four  tables  were  on  this  side, 
and  four  tables  on  that  side,  by  the 
side  of  the  gate ; eight  tables,  where- 
upon they  slew  their  sacrifices. 

42  And  the  four  tables  were  of 
hewn  stone  for  the  burnt  offering, 
of  a cubit  and  an  half  long,  and  a 
cubit  and  an  half  broad,  and  one 
Cubit  high:  whereupon  also  they 
laid  the  instruments  wherewith 
they  slew  the  burnt  offering  and 
the  sacrifice. 

43  And  within  were  ^ hooks,  an 
hand  broad,  fastened  round  about : 
and  upon  the  tables  was  the  flesh 
of  the  offering. 

44  ^ And  without  the  inner  gate 
were  the  chambers  of/ the  singers 
in  the  inner  court,  which  was  at  the 
side  of  the  north  gate ; and  their 
prospect  was  toward  the  south : one 
at  the  side  of  the  east  gate  having 
the  prospect  toward  the  north. 

45  And  he  said  unto  me.  This 
chamber,  whose  prospect/*s  toward 
the  south,  is  for  the  priests,  Hhe 
keepers  of  the  ® charge  of  the  house. 

46  And  the  chamber  whose  pros- 
pect is  toward  the  north  is  for  the 
priests,  *the  keepers  of  the  charge 
of  the  altar : these  are  the  sons  of 
*Za-d6k  among  the  sons  of  Le-vi, 
which  come  near  to  the  Lord  to 
minister  unto  him. 

47  So  he  measured  the  court,  an 
hundred  cubits  long,  and  an  hun- 
dred cubits  broad,  foursquare ; and 
the  altar  that  was  before  the  house. 

48  IT  And  he  brought  me  to  the 
porch  of  the  house,  and  measured 
each  post  of  the  porch,  five  cubits 
on  this  side,  and  five  cubits  on  that 
side : and  the  breadth  of  the  gate

49  “The  length  of  the  porch  was 
twenty  cubits,  and  the  breadth 
eleven  cubits ; and  he  brought  me 
by  the  steps  whereby  they  went  up 
to  it : and  there  were  * pillars  by  the 
posts,  one  on  this  side,  and  another 
on  that  side. 

CHAPTER  41. 

Measures,  parts,  and  ornaments  of  the  temple, 

AFTERWARD  he  brought  me  to 
the  temple,  and  measured  the 
posts,  six  cubits  broad  on  the  one 
side,  and  six  cubits  broad  on  the 
other  side,  which  was  the  breadth 
of  the  tabernacle. 

2 And  the  breadth  of  the  ^door 
was  ten  cubits ; and  the  sides  of 
the  door  were  five  cubits  on  the 
one  side,  and  five  cubits  on  the 
other  side : and  he  measured  the 
length  thereof,  forty  cubits : and 
the  breadth,  twenty  cubits. 

3 Then  went  he  inward,  and  meas- 
ured the  post  of  the  door,  two 
cubits ; and  the  door,  six  cubits ; 
and  the  breadth  of  the  door,  seven 
cubits. 

4 So  ®he  measured  the  length 
thereof,  twenty  cubits ; and  the 
breadth,  twenty  cubits,  before  the 
temple  : and  he  said  unto  me.  This 
is  the  most  holy  place. 

5 After  he  measured  the  wall  of  the 
house,  six  cubits ; and  the  breadth 
of  every  side  chamber,  four  cubits, 
round  about  the  house  on  every  side. 

6 -^And  the  side  chambers  were 
three,  ^one  over  another,  and  ® thirty 
in  order ; and  they  entered  into  the 
wall  which  was  of  the  house  for  the 
side  chambers  round  about,  that 
they  might  ^have  hold,  but  they  had 
not  hold  in  the  wall  of  the  house. 

7 And  ^there'^  was  an  enlarging, 
and  a winding  about  still  upward 
to  the  side  chambers : for  the  wind- 
ing about  of  the  house  went  still 
upward  round  about  the  house : 
therefore  the  breadth  of  the  house 
was  still  upward,  and  so  increased 
from  the  lowest  chamber  to  the 
highest  by  the  midst. 

8 I saw  also  the  height  of  the  house 
round  about : the  foundations  of  the 
side  chambers  were  "‘a  full  reed  of 
six  great  cubits. 

9 The  thickness  of  the  wall,  which 
was  for  the  side  chamber  without, 
was  five  cubits : and  that  which  was 
left  was  the  place  of  the  side  cham- 
bers that  were  within. 

10  And  between  the  chambers  was 
the  wideness  of  twenty  cubits  round 
about  the  house  on  every  side.

Chambers  f(yr  the  priests. 


1 1 And  the  doors  of  the  side  cham-  B.c.  674. 
hers  were  toward  the  plaice  that  was 

left,  one  door  toward  the  north,  and 
another  door  toward  the  south : and 
the  breadth  of  the  place  that  was 
left  was  five  cubits  round  about. 

12  Now  the  building  that  was 
before  the  separate  place  at  the  end 
toward  the  west  was  seventy  cubits 
broad;  and  the  wall  of  the  building  «ver.  le. 
was  five  cubits  thick  round  about,  le. 
and  the  length  thereof  ninety  cubits. 

13  So  he  measured  the  house,  an 
hundred  cubits  long;  and  the  sepa- 
rate place,  and  the  building,  with 
the  walls  thereof,  an  hundred  cubits 


long ; 

14  Also  the  breadth  of  the  face  of 
the  house,  and  of  the  separate  place 
toward  the  east,  an  hundred  cubits. 

15  And  he  measured  the  length  of 
the  building  over  against  the  sepa- 
rate place  which  was  behind  it,  and 
the  ^galleries  thereof  on  the  one  side 
and  on  the  other  side,  an  hundred 
cubits,  with  the  inner  temple,  and 
the  porches  of  the  court ; 

16  The  door  posts,  and  ‘'the  narrow 
windows,  and  the  galleries  round 
about  on  their  three  stories,  over 
against  the  door,  ^cieled  with  wood 
round  about,  ^and  from  the  ground 
up  to  the  windows,  and  the  windows 
were  covered ; 

17  To  that  above  the  door,  even 
unto  the  inner  house,  and  without, 
and  by  all  the  wall  round  about 
within  and  without,  by  ^measure. 

18  And  it  was  made  ®with  cher'fi- 
bims  and  palm  trees,  so  that  a palm 
tree  was  between  a cher-iib  and  a 
chgr-tib ; and  every  ch6r-ub  had  two 
faces ; 

19  -^So  that  the  face  of  a man  was 
toward  the  palm  tree  on  the  one 
side,  and  the  face  of  a young  lion 
toward  the  palm  tree  on  the  other 
side : it  was  made  through  all  the 
house  round  about. 

20  From  the  ground  unto  above 
the  door  were  ch6r-a-bims  and  palm 
trees  made,  and  on  the  wall  of  the 
temple. 

21  The  posts  of  the  temple  were 
squared,  and  the  face  of  the  sanc- 
tuary ; the  appearance  of  the  one  as 
the  abearance  of  the  other. 

22  S' The  altar  of  wood  was  three 
cubits  high,  and  the  length  thereof 
two  cubits ; and  the  corners  there- 
of, and  the  length  thereof,  and  the 
walls  thereof,  were  of  wood : and 
he  said  unto  me.  This  is  ^the  table 
that  is  * before  the  Lord. 

23  ^'And  the  temple  and  the  sanc- 
tuary had  two  doors. 

24  And  the  doors  had  two  leaves

25  And  there  were  made  on  them, 
on  the  doors  of  the  temple,  cher'a- 
bims  and  palm  trees,  like  as  were 
made  upon  the  walls  ; and  there 
were  thick  planks  upon  the  face  of 
the  porch  without. 

26  And  there  were  ""narrow  win- 
dows and  palm  trees  on  the  one 
side  and  on  the  other  side,  on  the 
sides  of  the  porch,  and  upon  the 
side  chambers  of  the  house,  and 
thick  planks. 

CHAPTER  42. 

1 Chambers  for  the  priests.  19  The  outward  cowrt. 

Then  he  brought  me  forth  into 
the  utter  court,  the  way  toward 
the  north  : and  he  brought  me  into 
* the  chamber  that  was  over  against 
the  separate  place,  and  which  was 
before  the  building  toward  the 
north. 

2 Before  the  length  of  an  hundred 
cubits  was  the  north  door,  and  the 
breadth  was  fifty  cubits. 

3 Over  against  the  twenty  cubits 
which  were  for  the  inner  court,  and 
over  against  the  pavement  which 
was  for  the  utter  cqurt,  was  ^ gal- 
lery against  gallery  in  three  stories. 
4 And  before  the  chambers  was  a 
walk  of  ten  cubits  breadth  inward, 
a way  of  one  cubit ; and  their  doors 
toward  the  north. 

5  Now  the  upper  chambers  were 
shorter : for  the  galleries  ® were 
higher  than  these^  ® than  the  lower, 
and  than  the  middlemost  of  the 
building. 

6  For  they  were  in  three  stories, 
but  had  not  pillars  as  the  pillars 
of  the  courts  : therefore  the  build- 
ing was  straitened  more  than  the 
lowest  and  the  middlemost  from 
the  ground. 

7  And  the  wall  that  was  without 
lover  against  the  chambers,  toward 
the  utter  court  on  the  forepart  of 
the  chambers,  the  length  thereof 
was  fifty  cubits. 

8  For  the  length  of  the  chambers 
that  were^  in  the  utter  court  was 
fifty  cubits : and,  lo,  before  the 
temple  were  an  hundred  cubits. 

9  And  ®from  under  these  cham- 
bers was  ®the  entry  on  the  east 
side,  ^ as  one  goeth  into  them  from 
the  utter  court. 

10  The  chambers  were  in  the 
thickness  of  the  wall  of  the  court 
toward  the  east,  over  against  the 
separate  place,  and  over  against 
the  building. 

1 1  And  * the  way  before  them  was 


Chambers  for  the  priests.

like  the  appearance  of  the  chambers 
which  were  toward  the  north,  as 
long  as  they,  andi  as  broad  as  they  : 
and  all  their  goings  out  were  both 
according  to  their  fashions,  and  ac- 
cording to  their  doors. 

12  And  according  to  the  doors  of 
the  chambers  that  were  toward  the 
south  was  a door  in  the  head  of  the 
way,  even  the  way  directly  before 
the  wall  toward  the  east,  as  one 
entereth  into  them. 

13  U Then  said  he  unto  me,  The 
north  chambers  and  the  south 
chambers,  which  are  before  the 
separate  place,  they  he  holy  cham- 
bers, where  the  priests  that  ap- 
proach unto  the  Lord  shall  eat 
the  most  holy  things  : there  shall 
they  lay  the  most  holy  things,  and 
*the  meat  offering,  and  the  sin  of- 
fering, and  the  trespass  offering; 
for  the  place  is  holy. 

14  ” When  the  priests  enter  therein, 
then  shall  they  not  go  out  of  the 
holy  place  into  the  utter  court,  but 
there  they  shall  lay  their  garments 
wherein  they  minister ; for  they  are 
holy;  and  shall  put  on  other  gar- 
ments, and  shall  approach  to  those 
things  which  are  for  the  people. 

15  Now  when  he  had  made  an 
end  of  measuring  the  inner  house, 
he  brought  me  forth  toward  the 
gate  whose  prospect  is  toward  the 
east,  and  measured  it  round  about. 

16  He  measured  the  east  ^side 
with  the  measuring  reed,  five  hun- 
dred reeds,  with  the  measuring  reed 
round  about. 

17  He  measured  the  north  side, 
five  hundred  reeds,  with  the  meas- 
uring reed  round  about. 

18  He  measured  the  south  side, 
five  hundred  reeds,  with  the  meas- 
uring reed. 

19  ^ He  turned  about  to  the  west 
side,  and  measured  five  hundred 
reeds  with  the  measuring  reed. 

20  He  measured  it  by  the  four 
sides:  "‘it  had  a wall  round  about, 
*five  hundred  reeds  long,  and  five 
hundred  broad,  to  make  a separa- 
tion between  the  sanctuary  and  the 
profane  place.

AFTERWARD  he  brought  me  to 
the  gate,  even  the  gate  *that 
looketh  toward  the  east : 

2  “And,  behold,  the  glory  of  the 
God  of  Is-ra-6l  came  from  the  way 
of  the  east : and  ® his  voice  was  like 
a noise  of  many  waters:  "^and  the

3 And  it  was  “according  to  the 
appearance  of  the  vision  which  I 
saw,  even  according  to  the  vision 
that  I saw  ^ when  I came  ^to  destroy 
the  city : and  the  visions  were  like 
the  vision  that  I saw  ®by  the  river 
■Ghe-bar  ; and  I fell  upon  my  face. 

4 And  the  glory  of  the  Lord  came 
into  the  house  by  the  way  of  the 
gate  whose  prospect  is  toward  the 
east. 

5 ®So  the  sxiirit  took  me  up,  and 
brought  me  into  the  inner  court; 
and,  behold,  -^the  glory  of  the  Lord 
filled  the  house. 

6 And  I heard  him  speaking  unto 
me  out  of  the  house ; and  ^the  man 
stood  by  me. 

7 H And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  Hhe  place  of  my  throne,  and 
Hhe  place  of  the  soles  of  my  feet, 

where  I will  dwell  in  the  midst  of 
the  children  of  Is-ra-6l  for  ever,  and 
my  holy  name,  shall  the  house  of 
Is-ra-el  "no  more  neither  they, 

nor  their  kings,  by  their  whoredom, 
nor  by  ^ the  carcases  of  their  kings 
in  their  high  places. 

8 ^ In  their  setting  of  their  thresh- 
old by  my  thresholds,  and  their 

Eost  by  my  posts,  ‘^and  the  wall 
etween  me  and  them,  they  have 
even  defiled  my  holy  name  by  their 
abominations  that  they  have  com- 
mitted : wherefore  I have  consumed 
them  in  mine  anger. 

9  Now  let  them  put  away  their 
whoredom,  and  the  carcases  of 
their  kings,  far  from  me,  *and  I will 
dwell  in  the  midst  of  them  for  ever. 

10  H Thou  son  of  man,  *shew  the 
house  to  the  house  of  Is-ra-6l,  that 
they  may  be  ashamed  of  their  in- 
iquities : and  let  them  measure  the 
^ pattern. 

1 1  And  if  they  be  ashamed  of  all 
that  they  have  done,  shew  them 
the  form  of  the  house,  and  the 
fashion  thereof,  and  the  goings  out 
thereof,  and  the  comings  in  thereof, 
and  all  the  forms  thereof,  and  all 
the  ordinances  thereof,  and  all  the 
forms  thereof,  and  all  the  laws 
thereof : and  write  it  in  their  sight, 
that  they  may  keep  the  whole  form 
thereof,  and  all  the  ordinances 
thereof,  and  do  them. 

12  This  is  the  law  of  the  house; 
Upon  the  top  of  the  mountain  the 
whole  limit  thereof  round  about 
shall  he  most  holy.  Behold,  this  is 
the  law  of  the  house. 

13  U And  these  are  the  measures 
of  the  altar  after  the  cubits : * The 
cubit  a cubit  and  an  hand  breadth ; 
even  the  ® bottom  shall  he  a cubit, 
and  the  breadth  a cubit,  and  the

border  thereof  by  the  ^edge  thereof 
round  about  shall  be  a span : and 
this  shall  be  the  higher  place  of  the 
altar. 

14  And  from  the  bottom  upon  the 
ground  even  to  the  lower  settle 
shall  be  two  cubits,  and  the  breadth 
one  cubit ; and  from  the  lesser  settle 
even  to  the  greater  settle  shall  be  four 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  one  cubit. 

15  So  '‘the  altar  shall  be  four 
cubits;  and  from  ®the  altar  and 
upward  shall  be  four  horns. 

16  And  the  altar  shall  be  twelve 
cubits  long,  twelve  broad,  square  in 
the  four  squares  thereof. 

17  And  the  settle  shall  he  fourteen 
cubits  long  and  fourteen  broad  in 
the  four  squares  thereof;  and  the 
border  about  it  shall  be  half  a 
cubit ; and  the  bottom  thereof  shall 
be  a cubit  about;  and  ‘^his  stairs 
shall  look  toward  the  east. 

18  ^ And  he  said  unto  me,  Son 
of  man,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
These  ^ are  the  ordinances  of  the 
altar  in  the  day  when  they  shall 
make  it,  to  offer  burnt  offerings 
thereon,  and  to  ^sprinkle  blood 
thereon. 

19  And  thou  shalt  give  to  Hhe 
priests  the  Le-vItes  that  be  of  the 
seed  of  Za-d5k,  which  approach 
unto  me,  to  minister  unto  me,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  ^ a young  bullock  for 
a sin  offering. 

20  And  thou  shalt  take  of  the 
blood  thereof,  and  put  it  on  the 
four  horns  of  it,  and  on  the  four 
corners  of  the  settle,  and  upon  the 
border  round  about : thus  shalt  thou 
cleanse  and  purge  it. 

21  Thou  shalt  take  the  bullock 
also  of  the  sin  offering,  and  he 
‘’shall  burn  it  in  the  appointed 
place  of  the  house,  ^without  the 
sanctuary. 

22  And  on  the  second  day  thou 
shalt  offer  a kid  of  the  goats  with- 
out blemish  for  a sin  offering ; and 
they  shall  cleanse  the  altar,  as  they 
did  cleanse  it  with  the  bullock. 

23  When  thou  hast  made  an  end 
of  cleansing  it,  thou  shalt  offer  a 
young  bullock  without  blemish, 
and  a ram  out  of  the  flock  without 
blemish. 

24  And  thou  shalt  offer  them  be- 
fore the  Lord,  *and  the  priests  shall 
cast  salt  upon  them,  and  they  shall 
offer  them  up  for  a burnt  offering 
unto  the  Lord. 

25  * Seven  days  shalt  thou  prepare 
every  day  a goat  for  a sin  offering : 
they  shall  also  prepare  a young  bul- 
lock, and  a ram  out  of  the  flock, 
without  blemish.

Then  he  brought  me  back  the 
way  of  the  gate  of  the  outward 
sanctuary  ‘'which  looketh  toward 
the  east;  and  it  was  shut. 

2  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me ; 
This  gate  shall  be  shut,  it  shall  not 
be  opened,  and  no  man  shall  enter 
in  by  it;  ^because  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is-ra-6l,  hath  entered  in  by 
it,  therefore  it  shall  be  shut. 

3  It  is  for  the  prince ; the  prince, 
he  shall  sit  in  it  to  •'^eat  bread  be- 
fore the  Lord  ; ^'he  shall  enter  by 
the  way  of  the  porch  of  that  gate, 
and  shall  go  out  by  the  way  of  the 
same. 

4  II  Then  brought  he  me  the  way 
of  the  north  gate  before  the  house : 
and  I looked,  and,  * behold,  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  house 
of  the  Lord  : ""and  I fell  upon  my 
face. 

5 And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
”Son  of  man,  ®mark  well,  and  be- 
hold with  thine  eyes,  and  hear  with 
thine  ears  all  that  I say  unto  thee 
concerning  all  the  ordinances  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  all  the  laws 
thereof ; and  mark  well  the  enter- 
ing in  of  the  house,  with  every  going 
forth  of  the  sanctuary. 

6  And  thou  shalt  say  to  the  ^rebel- 
lious, even  to  the  house  of  Is-ra-^, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; ’ O ye 
house  of  l§-ra-el,  ’'let  it  suffice  you 
of  all  your  abominations, 

7  Hn  that  ye  have  brought  into 
my  sanctuary  * strangers,’  “uncir- 
cumcised in  heart,  and  uncircum- 
cised in  flesh,  to  be  in  mv  sanctuary, 
to  pollute  it,  even  my  house,  when 
ye  offer  "“my  bread,  ^the  fat  and  the 
blood,  and  they  have  broken  my 
covenant  because  of  all  your  abom- 
inations. 

8  And  ye  have  not  “kept  the  charge 
of  mine  holy  things : but  ye  have 
set  keepers  of  my  ® charge  in  my 
sanctuary  for  yourselves. 

9  ^ Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; No 
stranger,  uncircumcised  in  heart, 
nor  uncircumcised  in  flesh,  shall 
enter  into  my  sanctuary,  of  any 


777

stranger  that  is  among  the  children 
of  l§-ra-6l. 

10  * And  the  Le-vites  that  are  g9ne 
away  far  from  me.  when  Is-ra-el 
went  astray,  which  went  astray 
away  from  me  after  their  idols ; 
they  shall  even  bear  their  iniquity. 

11  Yet  they  shall  be  ministers  in 
my  sanctuary,  '^having  charge  at 
the  gates  of  the  house,  and  minis- 
tering to  the  house  : -^they  shall 
slay  the  burnt  offering  and  the 
sacrifice  for  the  people,  and  ^they 
shall  stand  before  them  to  minister 
unto  them. 

12  Because  thejr  ministered  unto 
them  before  their  idols,  and  * caused^ 
the  house  of  IsYa-el  to  fall  into  in- 
iquity ; therefore  have  I * lifted  up 
mine  hand  against  them,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  and  they  shall  bear  their 
iniquity. 

13  ""And  they  shall  not  come  near 
unto  me,  to  do  the  office  of  a priest 
unto  me,  nor  to  come  near  to  any 
of  my  holy  things,  in  the  most  holy 
place:  but  they  shall  ^bear  their 
shame,  and  their  abominations 
which  they  have  committed. 

14  But  I will  make  them  « keepers 
of  the  charge  of  the  house,  for  all 
the  service  thereof,  and  for  all  that 

. shall  be  done  therein. 

15  ^ *But  the  priests  the  Le-vites, 
^the  sons  of  Za-d5k,  that  kept  the 
charge  of  my  sanctuary  when  the 
children  of  IsYa-el  went  astray  from 
me,  they  shall  come  near  to  me  to 
minister  unto  me,  and  they  shall 
stand  before  me  to  offer  unto  me 
the  fat  and  the  blood,  saith  the  Lord 
God  : 

16  They  shall  enter  into  my  sanc- 
tuary, and  they  shall  come  near  to 
*my  table,  to  minister  unto  me,  and 
they  shall  keep  my  charge. 

17  U And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  when  they  enter  in  at  the  gates 
of  the  inner  court,  ‘^they  shall  be 
clothed  with  linen  garments ; and 
no  wool  shall  come  upon  them, 
whiles  they  minister  in  the  gates 
of  the  inner  court,  and  within. 

18  S' They  shall  have  linen  bonnets 
upon  their  heads,  and  shall  have 
linen  breeches  upon  their  loins ; 
they  shall  not  gird  themselves  ®'^with 
any  thing  that  causeth  sweat. 

1 9 And  when  they  go  forth  into 
the  utter  court,  even  into  the  utter 
court  to  the  people,  ^'they  shall  put 
off  their  garments  wherein  they 
min*istered,  and  lay  them  in  the 
holy  chambers,  and  they  shall  put 
on  other  garments ; and  they  shall 
”not  sanctify  the  people  with  their 
garments. 


for  the  priests. 

20  “Neither  shall  they  shave  their 
heads,  nor  suffer  their  locks  to  grow 
long ; they  shall  only  poll  their 
heads. 

21  ‘'Neither  shall  any  priest  drink 
wine,  when  they  enter  into  the  in- 
ner court. 

22  Neither  shall  they  take  for  their 
wives  a ‘'widow,  nor  her  that  is/ put 
away  : but  they  shall  take  maidens 
of  the  seed  of  the  house  of  Is-ra-el, 
or  a widow  ^that  had  a priest 
before. 

23  And  Hhey  shall  teach  my  peo- 
ple the  difference  between  the  holy 
and  profane,  and  cause  them  to 
discern  between  the  unclean  and 
the  clean. 

24  And  4n  controversy  they  shall 
stand  in  judgment ; and  they  shall 
judge  it  according  to  my  judgments : 
and  they  shall  keep  my  laws  and 
my  statutes  in  all  mine  assemblies ; 
“and  they  shall  hallow  my  sabbaths. 

25  And  they  shall  come  at  no 
"dead  person  to  defile  themselves : 
but  for  father,  or  for  mother,  or  for 
son,  or  for  daughter,  for  brother,  or 
for  sister  that  hath  had  no  husband, 
they  may  defile  themselves. 

26  And  after  he  is  cleansed, 
they  shall  reckon  unto  him  seven 
days. 

27  And  in  the  day  that  he  goeth 
into  the  sanctuary,  “unto  the  inner 
court,  to  minister  in  the  sanctuary, 
*he  shall  offer  his  sin  oflfering,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

28  And  it  shall  be  unto  them  for 
an  inheritance : I ^am  their  inher- 
itance : and  ye  shall  give  them  no 
possession  in  IsYa-6l : I am  their 
possession. 

29  “They  shall  eat  the  meat  offer-

16  All  the  people  of  the  land 
^ shall  give  this  oblation  ®for  the

of  the  month,  thou  shalt  take  a 
young  bullock  without  blemish, 
and  * cleanse  the  sanctuary: 

19  *And  the  priest  shall  take  of 
the  blood  of  the  sin  offering,  and 
put  it  upon  the  posts  of  the  house, 
and  upon  the  four  corners  of  the 
settle  of  the  altar,  and  upon  the 
posts  of  the  gate  of  the  inner  court. 

20  And  so  thou  shalt  do  the  sev- 
enth day  of  the  month  ’for  every- 
one that  erreth,  and  for  him  that  is 
simple:  so  shall  ye  reconcile  the 
house. 

21  ”In  the  first  month,  in  the  four- 
teenth day  of  the  month,  ye  shall 
have  the  passover,  a feast  of  seven 
days;  unleavened,  bread  shall  be 
eaten. 

22  And  upon  that  day  shall  the 
prince  prepare  for  himself  and  for 
all  the  people  of  the  land  ®a  bullock 
for  a sin  offering. 

23  And  * seven  days  of  the  feast 
he  shall  prepare  a burnt  offering

goats  daily  for  a sin  offering.

Ordinances  for  the  prince  in  his  worship. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  The 
gate  of  the  inner  court  that 
looketh  toward  the  east  shall  be 
shut  the  six  working  days;  but  on 
the  sabbath  it  shall  be  opened,  and 
in  the  day  of  the  new  moon  it  shall 
be  opened. 

2  ‘^And  the  prince  shall  enter  by 
the  way  of  the  porch  of  that  gate 
without,  and  shall  stand  by  the  post 
of  the  gate,  and  the  priests  shall  pre- 
pare his  burnt  offering  and  his  peace 
offerings,  and  he  shall  worship  at 
the  threshold  of  the  gate:  then  he 
shall  go  forth ; but  the  gate  shall 
not  be  shut  until  the  evening. 

3  Likewise  the  people  of  the  land 
shall  worship  at  the  door  of  this 

gate  before  the  Lord  in  the  sab- 
aths  and  in  the  new  moons. 

4  And  the  burnt  offering  that  -^the 
prince  shall  offer  unto  the  Lord  in 
the  sabbath  day  shall  be  six  lambs 
without  blemish,  and  a ram  with- 
out blemish. 

5  ^And  the  meat  offering  shall  he 
an  e^phah  for  a ram,  and  the  meat 
offering  for  the  lambs  ^as  he  shall 
be  able  to  give,  and  an  hin  of  oil  to 
an  e-phah. 

6  And  in  the  day  of  the  new  moon 
it  shall  he  a young  bullock  without 
blemish,  and  six  lambs,  and  a ram : 
they  shall  be  without  blemish. 

7  And  he  shall  prepare  a meat  of- 
fering, an  e-phah  for  a bullock,  and 
an  e-phah  for  a ram,  and  for  the 
lambs  according  as  his  hand  shall 
attain  unto,  and  an  hin  of  oil  to  an 
e-phah.

10  And  the  prince  in  the  midst  of 
them,  when  they  go  in,  shall  go  in ; 
and  when  they  go  forth,  shall  go 
forth. 

11  And  in  the  feasts  and  in  the 
solemnities  *^the  meat  offering  shall 
be  an  e-phah  to  a bullock,  and  an 
e-phah  to  a ram,  and  to  the  lambs 
as  he  is  able  to  give,  and  an  hin  of 
oil  to  an  e-phah. 

12  Now  when  the  prince  shall 
prepare  a voluntary  burnt  offering 
or  peace  offerings  voluntarily  unto 
the  Lord,  "^one  shall  then  open  him 
the  gate  that  looketh  toward  the 
east,  and  he  shall  prepare  his  burnt 
offering  and  his  peace  offerings,  as 
he  did  on  the  sabbath  day : then  he 
shall  go  forth;  and  after  his  going 
forth  one  shall  shut  the  gate. 

13  ^Thou  shalt  daily  prepare  a 
burnt  offering  unto  the  Lord  of 
a lamb  ^of  the  first  year  without 
blemish : thou  shalt  prepare  it 
^ every  morning. 

14  And  thou  shalt  prepare  a meat 
offering  for  it  every  morning,  the 
sixth  part  of  an  e-phah,  and  the 
third  part  of  an  hin  of  oil,  to  tem- 
per with  the  fine  flour ; a meat 
offering  continually  by  a perpetual 
ordinance  unto  the  Lord. 

15  Thus  shall  they  prepare  the 
lamb,  and  the  meat  offering,  and 
the  oil,  every  morning  for  a con- 
tinual burnt  offering. 

16  51  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  If 
the  prince  give  -a  gift  unto  any  of 
his  sons,  the  inheritance  thereof 
shall  be  his  sons’;  it  shall  be  their 
possession  by  inheritance. 

17  But  if  he  give  a gift  of  his 
inheritance  to  one  of  his  servants, 
then  it  shall  be  his  to  '^the  year  or 
liberty;  after  it  shall  return  to  the 

grince : but  his  inheritance  shall  be 
is  sons’  for  them. 

18  Moreover  *the  prince  shall  not 
take  of  the  people’s  inheritance  by 
oppression,  to  thrust  them  out  of 
their  possession;  but  he  shall  give 
his  sons  inheritance  out  of  his  own 
possession : that  my  people  be  not 
scattered  every  man  from  his  pos- 
session. 

1 9  51  After  he  brought  me  through 
the  entryj  which  was  at  the  side  of 
the  gate,  into  the  holy  chambers  of 
the  priests,  which  looked  toward 
the  north:  and,  behold,  there  was 
a place  on  the  two  sides  west- 
ward. 

20  Then  said  he  unto  me.  This  is 
the  place  where  the  priests  shall 
"‘boil  the  trespass  offering  and  the 
sin  offering,  where  they  shall  "bake 
the  meat  offering;  that  they  bear

"to  sanctify  the  people.  , 

21  Then  he  brought  me  forth  into 
the  utter  court,  and  caused  me  to 
pass  by  the  four  corners  of  the 
court:  and,  behold,  ^in  every  cor- 
ner oi  the  court  there  was  a court. 

22  In  the  four  corners  of  the  court 
there  were  courts  ^joined  of  forty 
cubits  long  and  thirty  broad : these 
four  ® corners  were  of  one  measure. 

23  And  there  was  a row  of  build- 
ing round  about  in  them,  round 
about  them  four,  and  it  was  made 
with  boiling  places  under  the  rows 
round  about. 

24  Then  said  he  unto  me.  These 
are  the  places  of  them  that  boil, 
where  the  ministers  of  the  house 
shall  ® boil  the  sacrifice  of  the 
people.

AFTERWARD  he  brought  me 
again  unto  the  door  of  the 
house;  and,  behold,  ® waters  issued 
out  from  under  the  threshold  of 
the  house  eastward : for  the  fore- 
front of  the  house  stood  toward  the 
east,  and  the  waters  came  down 
from  under  from  the  right  side  of 
the  house,  at  the  south  side  of  the 
altar. 

2 Then  brought  he  me  out  of  the 
way  of  the  gate  northward,  and  led 
me  about  the  way  without  unto  the 
utter  gate  by  the  way  that  looketh 
eastward;  and,  behold,  there  ran 
out  waters  on  the  right  side. 

3 And  when  Hhe  man  that  had 
the  line  in  his  hand  went  forth 
eastward,  he  measured  a thousand 
cubits,  and  he  brought  me  through 
the  waters ; the  ^waters  were  to  the 
ancles. 

4 Again  he  measured  a thousand, 
and  brought  me  through  the  wa- 
ters ; the  waters  were  to  the  knees. 
Again  he  measured  a thousand,  and 
brought  me  through;  the  waters 
were  to  the  loins. 

5 Afterward  he  measured  a thou- 
sand ; and  it  was  a river  that  I could 
not  pass  over : for  the  waters  were 
risen,  ^waters  to  swim  in,  a river 
that  could  not  be  passed  over. 

6 U And  he  said  unto  me,  Son  of 
man,  hast  thou  seen  this'l  Then 
he  brought  me^  and  caused  me  to 
return  to  the  brink  of  the  river. 

7 Now  when  I had  returned,  be-

IN  the  third  year  of  the  reign  of 
Je-hoi-a-kim  king  of  Ju-dah 
*came  N6b-u-ehad-n6z-zar  king  of 
Bab-j^-l6n  unto  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  and 
besieged  it. 

2  And  the  Lord  gave  J e-hoi-S-kim

‘'part  of  the  vessels  of  the  house 
of  God : which  he  carried  ® into 
the  land  of  Shl-nar  to  the  house 
of  his  god ; -^and  he  brought  the 
vessels  into  the  treasure  house  of 
his  god. 

3  H And  the  king  spake  unto  Ash- 
p6-naz  the  master  of  his  eunuchs, 
that  he  should  bring  * certain  of 
the  children  of  I§-ra-6l,  and  of  the 
king’s  seed,  and  of  the  princes ;

science,  and  such  as  had  ability 
in  them  to  stand  in  the  king’s 
palace,  and  ‘*whom  they  might 
teach  the  learning  and  the  tongue 
of  the  -Ghal-de-ans. 

5 And  the  king  appointed  them  a 
daily  provision  of  the  king’s  meat, 
and  or  Hhe  wine  which  he  drank : 
so  nourishing  them  three  years, 
that  at  the  end  thereof  they  might 
**  stand  before  the  king. 

6 Now  among  these  were  of  the 
children  of  Ju-dah,  Dan-ieb  Han-a- 
ni-ah,  Mish-a-el,  and  Az-a-ri-ah  : 

7 ®'Unto  whom  the  prince  of  the 
eunuchs  gave  names : *for  he  gave 
unto  Dan-iel  the  name  of  B6l-tS-

Sha-draeh ; and  to  Mish-a-6l,  of 
Me-shach ; and  to  Az-a-n-ah,  of 
A-bed'-n6-go. 

8 ^ But  Dan-iel  purposed  in  his 
heart  that  he  would  not  defile  him- 
self *with  the  portion  of  the  king’s 
meat,  nor  with  the  wine  which  he 


Nebuchadnezzar 


DANIEL,  2. 


forgetteth  his  dream. 


drank : therefore  he  requested  of 
the  prince  of  the  eunuchs  that  he 
might  not  defile  himself. 

9 Now  “God  had  brought  Dan^iSl 
into  favour  and  tender  love  with 
the  prince  of  the  eunuchs. 

10  And  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs 
said  unto  Dan-iel,  I fear  my  lord  the 
king,  who  hath  appointed  your  meat 
and  your  drink  : for  why  should  he 
see  your  faces  ^ worse  liking  than  the 
children  which  are  of  your  ^sort? 
then  shall  ye  make  me  endanger 
my  head  to  the  king. 

11  Then  said  Dan-iel  to  ®M6l-zar, 
whom  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs 
had  set  over  Dan-iel,  Han-a-ni-ah, 
Mish-a-6l,  and  Az-a-ri-ah, 

12  Prove  thy  servants,  I beseech 
thee,  ten  days;  and  let  them  give 
us  ‘‘pulse  ®to  eat,  and  water  to 
drink. 

13  Then  let  our  countenances  be 
looked  upon  before  thee,  and  the 
countenance  of  the  children  that 
eat  of  the  portion  of  the  king’s 
meat : and  as  thou  seest,  deal  with 
thy  servants. 

14  So  he  consented  to  them  in  this 
matter,  and  proved  them  ten  days. 

15  And  at  the  end  of  ten  days 
their  countenances  appeared  fairer 
and  fatter  in  flesh  than  all  the  chil- 
dren which  did  eat  the  portion  of 
the  king’s  meat. 

16  Thus  Mel-zar  took  away  the 
portion  of  their  meat,  and  the  wine 
that  they  should  drink ; and  gave 
them  pulse. 

17  51  As  for  these  four  children, 
*God  gave  them  ‘knowledge  and 
skill  in  all  learning  and  wisdom : 
and  ^Dan-iel  had  * understanding 
in  all  visions  and  dreams. 

18  Now  at  the  end  of  the  days 
that  the  king  had  said  he  should 
bring  them  in,  then  the  prince  of 
the  eunuchs  brought  them  in  be- 
fore N6b-u-chad-nez-zar. 

1 9 And  the  king  communed  with 
them  ; and  among  them  all  was 
found  none  like  Dan-iel,  Han-a-ni- 
ah,  Mish-a-6l,  and  Az-a-ri-ah : there- 
fore "“stood  they  before  the  king. 

20  "And  in  all  matters  of  ^wisdom 
and  understanding,  that  the  king 
enquired  of  them,  he  found  them 
ten  times  better  than  all  the  magi- 
cians and  astrologers  that  were  in 
all  his  realm. 

21  ^And  Dan-igl  continued  even 
unto  the  first  year  of  king  Cy-riis.

AND  in  the  second  year  of  the  reign 
of  Neb-u-ehad-nez-zar  Nlb- 
u-ehad-ngz-zar  dreamed  dreams, 
* wherewith  his  spirit  was  troubled, 
and  ®his  sleep  brake  from  him. 

2 ‘^Then  the  king  commanded  to 
call  the  magicians,  and  the  astrol- 
ogers, and  the  sorcerers,  and  the 
•Chal-de-ans,  for  to  shew  the  king 
his  dreams.  So  they  came  and 
stood  before  the  king. 

3 And  the  king  said  unto  them, 
I have  dreamed  a dream,  and  my 
spirit  was  troubled  to  know  the 
dream. 

4 Then  spake  the  -Chal-de-ans  to 
the  king  in  Syr4-ack,  ®0  king,  live 
for  ever  : tell  thy  servants  the 
dream,  and  we  will  shew  the  in- 
terpretation. 

5 The  king  answered  and  said  to 
the  Chal-de-ans,  The  thing  is  gone 
from  me  : if  ye  will  not  make 
known  unto  me  the  dream,  with 
the  interpretation  thereof,  ye  shall 
be  -^cut®  in  pieces,  and  your  houses 
shall  be  made  a dunghill. 

6 ^But  if  ye  shew  the  dream,  and 
the  interpretation  thereof,  ye  shall 
receive  of  me  gifts  and  '^rewards 
and  great  honour : therefore  shew 
me  the  dream,  and  the  interpreta- 
tion thereof. 

7 They  answered  again  and  said. 
Let  the  king  tell  his  servants  the 
dream,  and  we  will  shew  the  inter- 
pretation of  it. 

8 The  king  answered  and  said,  I 
know  of  certainty  that  ye  would 
®gain  the  time,  because  ye  see  the 
thing  is  gone  from  me. 

9 But  if  ye  will  not  make  known 
unto  me  the  dream,  ^ there  is  hut 
one  decree  for  you : for  ye  have 
prepared  lying  and  corrupt  words 
to  speak  before  me,  till  the  time 
be  changed : therefore  tell  me  the 
dream,  and  I shall  know  that  ye  can 
shew  me  the  interpretation  thereof. 

10  51  The  Chal-de-an§  answered 
before  the  king,  and  said.  There  is 
not  a man  upon  the  earth  that  can 
shew  the  king’s  matter : therefore 
there  is  no  king,  lord,  nor  ruler,  that 
asked  such  things  at  any  magician, 
or  astrologer,  or  Chal-de-an. 

1 1 And  it  is  a rare  thing  that  the 
king  requireth,  and  there  is  none 
other  that  can  shew  it  before  the 
king,  "except  the  gods,  whose  dwell- 
ing is  not  with  flesh. 

12  For  this  cause  the  king  was 
angry  and  very  furious,  and  com- 
manded to  destroy  all  the  wise  men 
of  Bab-y-l5n. 

13  And  the  decree  went  forth  that 
the  wise  men  should  be  slain ; and

the  king’s  dream. 


they  sought  Dan-iSl  and  his  fellows 
to  be  slain. 

14  U Then  Dan-iel  ^answered  with 

counsel  and  wisdom  to  A-ri-5eh  the 
^^captain  of  the  king’s  guard,  which 
was  gone  forth  to  slay  the  wise  men 
of  Bab-y-l5n : _ _ 

15  He  answered  and  said  to  A-ri- 
5eh  the  king’s  captain.  Why  is  the 
decree  so  hasty  from  the  kingl 
Then  A-ri-5eh  made  the  thing 
known  to  Dan-igl. 

16  Then  Dan-iel  went  in,  and  de- 
sired of  the  king  that  he  would  give 
him  time,  and  that  he  would  shew 
the  king  the  interpretation. 

17  Then  Dan-i6l  went  to  his  house, 
and  made  the  thing  known  to  Han- 
a-ni-ah,  Mish-a-6l,  and  Az-a-ri-ah, 
his  companions : 

18  ‘'That  they  would  desire  mercies 
®of  the  God  of  heaven  concerning 
this  secret ; ^ that  Dan-iel  and  his 
fellows  should  not  perish  with  the 
rest  of  the  wise  men  of  Bab-y-l5n. 

19  IT  Then  was  the  secret  revealed 
unto  Dan-iel  Hn  a night  vision. 
Then  Dan-iel  blessed  the  God  of 
heaven. 

20  Dan-i6l  answered  and  said, 
^Blessed  be  the  name  of  God  for 
ever  and  ever:  ^for  wisdom  and 
might  are  his : 

21  And  he  changeth  ^the  times 
and  the  seasons : * he  removeth 
kings,  and  setteth  up  kings:  *he 
giveth  wisdom  unto  the  wise,  and 
knowledge  to  them  that  know 
understanding : 

22  "‘He  revealeth  the  deep  and 
secret  things : " he  knoweth  what 
is  in  the  darkness,  and  ^Hhe  light 
dwelleth  with  him. 

23  I thank  thee,  and  praise  thee, 
O thou  God  of  my  fathers,  who  hast 
given  me  wisdom  and  might,  and 
hast  made  known  unto  me  now 
what  we  desired  of  thee:  for  thou 
hast  now  made  known  unto  us  the 
king’s  matter. 

24  Therefore  Dan-i6l  went  in 
unto  A-ri-5eh,  whom  the  king  had 
ordained  to  destroy  the  wise  men 
of  Bab-y-l6n  : he  went  and  said  thus 
unto  him*  Destroy  not  the  wise 
men  of  Bab-y-l6n  : b ring  me  in  be- 
fore the  king,  and  I will  shew  unto 
the  king  the  interpretation. 

25  Then  A-ri-5eh  brought  in  Dan- 
iel before  the  king  in  haste,  and 
said  thus  unto  him,  have  found 
a man  of  the  '^captives  of  Ju-dah, 
that  will  ^ make  known  unto  the 
king  the  interpretation. 

26  The  king  answered  and  said  to

known  unto  me  the  dream  which  I 
have  seen,  and  the  interpretation 
thereof  % 

27  Dan-i6l  answered  in  the  pres- 
ence of  the  king,  and  said.  The  se- 
cret which  the  king  hath  demanded 
cannot  the  wise  meii,  the  astrolo- 
gers, the  magicians,  the  soothsayers, 
shew  unto  the  king  ; 

28  ®But  there  is  a God  in  heaven 
that  revealeth  secrets,  and  ^ maketh 
known  to  the  king  Neb-u-ehad-nez- 
zar  *'what  shall  be  in  the  latter  days. 
Thy  dream,  and  the  visions  of  thy 
head  upon  thy  bed,  are  these  ; 

29  As  for  thee,  O king,  thy  thoughts 
° came  into  thy  mind  upon  thy  bed, 
what  should  come  to  pass  hereafter : 
and  he  that  revealeth  secrets  maketh 
known  to  thee  what  shall  come  to 
pass. 

30  ‘*But  as  for  ma  this  secret  is 
not  revealed  to  me  tor  any  wisdom 
that  I have  more  than  any  living, 
®but  for  sakes  that  shall  make 
known  the  interpretation  to  the 
king,  and  that  thou  mightest  know 
the  thoughts  of  thy  heart. 

31  IT  Thou,  O king,  ^sawest,  and 
behold  a great  image.  This  great 
image,  whose  brightness  was  excel- 
lent, stood  before  thee;  and  the 
form  thereof  was  terrible. 

32  ‘This  image’s  head  was  of  fine 
gold,  his  breast  and  his  arms  of 
silver,  his  belly  and  his  Hhighs  of 
brass, 

33  His  legs  of  iron,  his  feet  part 
of  iron  and  part  of  clay. 

34  Thou  sawest  till  that  a stone 
was  cut  out  ‘'without'-^  hands,  which 
smote  the  image  upon  his  feet  that 
were  of  iron  and  clay,  and  brake 
them  to  pieces. 

35  Then  was  the  iron,  the  clay, 
the  brass,  the  silver,  and  the  gold, 
broken  to  pieces  together,  and  be- 
came « like  the  chaff  of  the  summer 
threshingfloors ; and  the  wind  car- 
ried  them  away,  that  " no  place  was 
found  for  them  : and  the  stone  that 
smote  the  image  "became  a great 
mountain,  *and  filled  the  whole 
earth. 

36  IT  This  is  the  dream;  and  we 
will  tell  the  interpretation  thereof 
before  the  king. 

37  “Thou,  O king,  art  a king  of 
kings : ^ for  the  God  of  heaven  hath 
given  thee  a kingdom,  power,  and 
strength,  and  glory. 

38  ^And  wheresoever  the  children 
of  men  dwell,  the  beasts  of  the  field 
and  the  fowls  of  the  heaven  hath 
he  given  into  thine  hand,  and  hath 
made  thee  ruler  over  them  all. 
*Thou  art  this  head  of  gold.

DANIEL,  3. 


The  golden  image. 


39  And  after  thee  shall  arise  “an- 
other kingdom  ® inferior  to  thee, 
and  another  third  kingdom  of  brass, 
which  shall  bear  rule  over  all  the 
earth. 

40  And  ^ the  fourth  kingdom  shall 
be  strong  as  iron : forasmuch  as 
iron  breaketh  in  pieces  and  sub- 
dueth  all  things:  and  as  iron  that 
breaketh  all  these,  shall  it  break  in 
pieces  and  bruise. 

41  And  whereas  thou  sawest  ®the 
feet  and  toes,  part  of  potters’  clay, 
and  part  of  iron,  the  kingdom  shall 
be  divided  ; but  there  shall  be  in 
it  of  the  strength  of  the  iron,  foras- 
much as  thou  sawest  the  iron  mixed 
with  miry  clay. 

42  And  as  the  toes  of  the  feet  were 
part  of  iron,  and  part  of  clay,  so  the 
kingdom  shall  be  partly  strong,  and 
partly  ^ broken. 

43  And  whereas  thou  sawest  iron 
mixed  with  miry  clay,  they  shall 
mingle  themselves  with  the  seed 
of  men : but  they  shall  not  cleave 
^one  to  another,  even  as  iron  is  not 
mixed  with  clay. 

44  And  in  ^the  days  of  these  kings 
f shall  the  God  of  heaven  set  up  a 
kingdom,  ^ which  shall  never  be  de- 
stroyed : and  the  ® kingdom  shall  not 
be  left  to  other  people,  * hut  it  shall 
break  in  pieces  and  consume  all 
these  kingdoms,  and  it  shall  stand 
for  ever. 

45  ^Forasmuch  as  thou  sawest  that 
the  stone  was  cut  out  of  the  moun- 
tain ^ without  hands,  and  that  it 
brake  in  pieces  the  iron,  the  brass, 
the  clay,  the  silver,  and.  the  gold  ; 
the  great  God  hath  made  known  to 
the  king  what  shall  come  to  pass 
^hereafter:  and  the  dream  is  cer- 
tain, and  the  interpretation  thereof 
sure. 

46  H ’"Then  the  king  N6b-u-chad- 
n6z-zar  fell  upon  his  face,  and  wor- 
shipped Dan-iel,  and  commanded 
that  they  should  offer  an  oblation 
"and  sweet  odours  unto  him. 

47  The  king  answered  unto  Dan- 
iel, and  said.  Of  a truth  it  is,  that 
your  God  is  a God  of  gods,  and  a 
Lord  of  kings,  ^and  a revealer  of 
secrets,  seeing  thou  couldest  reveal 
this  secret. 

48  Then  the  king  made  Dan-iel  a 
great  man,  ’’and  gave  him  many 
great  gifts,  and  made  him  ruler 
over  the  whole  province  of  Bab-y- 
l6n,  and  * chief  of  the  governors 
over  all  the  wise  men  of  Bab-y-l6n. 

49  Then  Dan-iel  requested  of  the 
king,  *and  he  set  Sha-drach,  Me- 
shach,  and  A-b6d'-ne-go,  over  the 
affairs  of  the  province  of  Bab-^-lOn  :

1^EB-U-€HAD-NEZ^ZAR  the 
l\  king  made  an  image  of  gold, 
whose  height  was  threescore  cubits, 
and  the  breadth  thereof  six  cubits : 
he  set  it  up  in  the  plain  of  Du-ra,  in 
the  province  of  Bab-y-l6n. 

2 Then  Neb-u-chad-nez-zar  the 
king  sent  to  gather  together  the 
princes,  the  governors,  and  the 
captains,  the  judges,  the  treasurers, 
the  counsellors,  the  sheriffs,  and  all 
the  rulers  of  the  provinces,  to  come 
to  the  dedication  of  the  image  which 
Neb-u-chad-nez-zar  the  king  had 
set  up. 

3 Then  the  princes,  the  governors, 
and  captains,  the  judges,  the  treas-^ 
urers,  the  counsellors,  the  sheriffs, 
and  all  the  rulers  of  the  provinces, 
were  gathered  together  unto  the 
dedication  of  the  image  that  NSb-u- 
chM-nez-zar  the  king  had  set  up ; 
and  they  stood  before  the  image 
that  N6b-u-chad-nez-zar  had  set  up. 

4 Then  an  herald  cried  ^ aloud.  To 
you  ®it  is  commanded,  *0  people, 
nations,  and  languages, 

5 l^hat  at  what  time  ye  hear  the 
sound  of  the  cornet,  flute,  harp, 
sackbut,  psaltery,  dulcimer,  and 
all  kinds  of  musick,  ye  fall  down 
and  worship  the  golden  image  that 
Neb-u-chad-n6z-zar  the  king  hath 
set  up : 

6 And  whoso  falleth  not  down  and 
worshippeth  shall  the  same  hour 
^be  cast  into  the  midst  of  a burning 
fiery  furnace. 

7 Therefore  at  that  time,  when  all 
the  people  heard  the  sound  of  the 
cornet,  flute,  harp,  sackbut,  psal- 
tery, and  all  kinds  of  musick,  all  the 
people,  the  nations,  and  the  lan- 
guages, fell  down  and  worshipped 
t^he  golden  image  that  N6b-u-chad- 
ngz-zar  the  king  had  set  up. 

8 H Wherefore  at  that  time  certain 
•Ghal-de-ans  "came  near,  and  accused 
the  Jews. 

9 They  spake  and  said  to  the  king 
Neb-u-chad-n6z-zar,  ® O king,  live 
for  ever. 

10  Thou,  O king,  hast  made  a de- 
cree, that  every  man  that  shall  hear 
the  sound  of  the  cornet,  flute,  harp, 
sackbut,  psaltery,  and  dulcimer,  and 
all  kinds  of  musick,  shall  fall  down 
and  worship  the  golden  image  : 

11  And  whoso  falleth  not  down 
and  worshippeth,  that  he  should 
be  cast  into  tne  midst  of  a burning

12  “There  are  certain  Jew§  whom 
thou  hast  set  over  the  affairs  of  the 
province  of  Bab-y-l5n,  Sha-draeh, 
Me-shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go  ; these 
men,  O king,  ^have  not  regarded 
thee : they  serve  not  thy  gods,  nor 
worship  the  golden  image  which 
thou  hast  set  up. 

13  H Then  Neb-u-chad-nez-zar  in 
his  rage  and  fury  commanded  to 
bring  Bha-draeh,  Me-shach,  and  A- 
bed'-ne-go.  Then  they  brought 
these  men  before  the  king. 

14  N6b-u-chad-nez-zar  spake  and

ing  fiery  furnace  ; ® and  who  is  that 
God  that  shall  deliver  you  out  of 
my  hands'? 

16  Sha-drach,  Me-shach,  and  A- 
bed-ng-go,  answered  and  said  to 
the  king,  O Neb-u-chM-nez-zar,  ^ we 
are  not  careful  to  answer  thee  in 
this  matter. 

17  If  it  be  so,  our  God  whom  we 
serve  is  able  to  deliver  us  from  the 
burning  fiery  furnace,  and  he  will 
deliver  t^-s  out  of  thine  hand,  O king. 

18  But  if  not,  be  it  known  unto 
thee,  O king,  that  we  will  not  serve 
thy  gods,  nor  worship  the  golden 
image  which  thou  hast  set  up. 

19  U Then  was  Neb-u-chM-nez-zar 
“^full  of  fury,  and  the  form  of  his 
visage  was  changed  against  Sha- 
drach,  Me-shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go : 
therefore  he  spake,  and  commanded 
that  they  should  heat  the  furnace 
one  seven  times  more  than  it  was 
wont  to  be  heated. 

20  And  he  commanded  the  ^ most 
mighty  men  that  were  in  his  army 
to  bind  Sha-drach,  Me-shach,  and 
A-bgd'-ng-go,  and  to  cast  them  into 
the  burning  fiery  furnace. 

21  Then  these  men  were  bound  in 
their  ^ coats,  their  hosen,  and  their 
^hats,  and  their  other  garments,  and 
were  cast  into  the  midst  of  the  burn- 
ing fiery  furnace. 

22  Therefore  because  the  king’s 
® commandment  was  urgent,  and 
the  furnace  exceeding  hot,  the 
Aflame  of  the  fire  slew  those  men 
that  took  up  Sha-drach,  Me-shach, 
and  A-bgd'-ng-go.

23  And_  these  three  men,  Sha- 
drach,  Me-shach,  and  A-bed'-nS-go, 
fell  down  bound  into  the  midst  oi 
the  burning  fiery  furnace. 

24  Then  Neb-u-chad-nez-zar  the 
king  was  astonied,  and  rose  up  in 
haste,  and  spake,  and  said  unto  his 

counsellors.  Did  not  we  cast  three 
men  bound  into  the  midst  of  the 
firel  .They  answered  and  said  unto 
the  king.  True,  O king. 

25  He  answered  and  said,  Lo,  I 
see  four  men  loose,  * walking  in  the 
midst  of  the  fire,  and  ^they  have 
no  hurt ; and  the  form  of  the  fourth 
is  like  ‘^the  Son  of  God. 

26  IT  Then  Neb-u-chad-nez-zar 
came  near  to  the  ® mouth  of  the 
burning  fiery  furnace,  and  spake, 
and  said,  Sha-drach,  Me-shach,  and 
A-bed'-ne-g^  ye  servants  of  the 
most  high  God,  come  forth,  and 
come  hither.  Then  Sha-drach,  Me- 
shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  came  forth 
of  the  midst  of  the  fire. 

27  And  the  princes,  governors,  and 
captains,  and  the  king’s  counsellors, 
being  gathered  together,  saw  these 
men,  -^upon  whose  bodies  the^  fire 
had  no  power,  nor  was  an  hair  of 
their  head  singed,  neither  were  their 
coats  changed,  nor  the  smell  of  fire 
had  passed  on  them. 

28  Thenmh  -u-chad-nez-zar  spake, 
and  said.  Blessed  he  the  God  of 
Sha-drach,  Me-shach,  and  A-bed'- 
ne-go,  who  hath  sent  his  angel, 
and  delivered  his  servants  that 
^ trusted  in  him,  and  have  changed 
the  king’s  word,  and  yielded  their 
bodies,  that  they  might  not  serve 
nor  worship  any  god,  except  their 
own  God. 

29  * Therefore  ®I  make  a decree. 
That  every  people,  nation,  and 
language,  which  speak  ® any  thing 
amiss  against  the  God  of  Sha-drach, 
Me-shadi,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  shall 
be  *cut^  in  pieces,  and  their  houses 
shall  be  made  a dunghill : * because 
there  is  no  other  God  that  can  de- 
liver after  this  sort. 

30  Then  the  king  ^ promoted  Sha- 
drach,  Me-shach,  and  A-bed'-n6-go, 
in  the  province  of  Bab-y-l5n.

Nebuchadnezzar’s  dream. 


DANIEL,  4. 


Daniel  inierpreteth 


high  God  hath  wrought  toward 
me.’ 

3 “ How  great  are  his  signs ! and 
how  mighty  are  his  wonders ! his 
kingdom  is  ^an  everlasting  king- 
dom, and  his  dominion  %s  from 
generation  to  generation. 

4^1  Neb-u-ehad-n6z-zar  was  at 
rest  in  mine  house,  and  flourishing 
in  my  palace : 

5 I saw  a dream  which  made  me 
afraid,  ^ and  the  thoughts  upon  my 
bed  and  the  visions  of  my  head 

troubled  me. 

6 Therefore  made  I a decree  to 
bring  in  all  the  wise  men  of  Bab- 
y-l5n  before  me,  that  they  might 
make  known  unto  me  the  interpre- 
tation of  the  dream. 

7 ^Then  came  in  the  naagicians, 
the  astrologers,  the  -Ghal-de-ans,  and 
the  soothsayers : and  I told  the 
dream  before  them;  but  they  did 
not  make  known  unto  me  the  in- 
terpretation thereof. 

8 H But  at  the  last  Dan-iel  came 
in  before  me,  whose  name  was 
Bel-te-shaz-zar,  according  to  the 
name  of  my  god,  ”and  in  whom  is 
the  spirit  of  tne  holy  gods : and  be- 
fore him  I told  the  dream,  saying, 

9 O Bel-t6-shaz-zar,  "master  of  the 
magicians,  because  1 know  that  the 
spirit  of  the  holy  gods  is  in  thee, 
and  no  secret  troubleth  thee,  tell 
me  the  visions  of  my  dream  that  I 
have  seen,  and  the  interpretation 
thereof. 

10  Thus  were  the  visions  of  mine 
head  in  my  bed ; ^ I saw,  and  be- 
hold ’’a  tree  in  the  midst  of  the 
earth,  and  the  height  thereof  was 
great. 

1 1 The  tree  grew,  and  was  strong, 
and  the  height  thereof  reached  unto 
heaven,  and  the  sight  thereof  to  the 
end  of  all  the  earth  : 

12  The  leaves  thereof  were  fair, 
and  the  fruit  thereof  much,  and  in 
it  was  meat  for  all : * the  beasts  of 
the  field  had  shadow  under  it,  and 
the  fowls  of  the  heaven  dwelt  in 
the  boughs  thereof,  and  all  flesh 
was  fed  of  it. 

13  I saw  in  the  visions  of  my 
head  upon  my  bed,  and,  behold, 
^a  watcher  and  *an  holy  one  came 
down  from  heaven ; 

14  He  cried  ^aloud,  and  said  thus, 
®Hew  down  the  tree,  and  cut  off 
his  branches,  shake  off  his  leaves, 
and  scatter  his  fruit : "let  the  beasts 
get  away  from  under  it,  and  the 
fowls  from  his  branches : 

15  Nevertheless  leave  the  stump 
of  his  roots  in  the  earth,  even  with 
a band  of  iron  and  brass,  in  the

be  wet  with  the  dew  of  heaven,  and 
let  his  portion  be  with  the  beasts  in 
the  grass  9f  the  earth : 

16  Let  his  heart  be  changed  from 
man’s,  and  let  a beast’s  heart  be 
given  unto  him  • and  let  seven 
"times  pass  over  him. 

1 7 This  matter  is  by  the  decree  of 
the  watchers,  and  the  demand  by 
the  word  of  the  holy  ones : to  the 
intent  "that  the  Hving  may  know 
•^that  the  most  High  ruleth  in  the 
kingdom  of  men,  and  giveth  it  to 
whornsoever  he  will,  and  setteth  up 
over  it  the  basest  of  men. 

18  This  dream  1 king  Neb-u-ehad- 
ngz-zar  have  seen.  Now  thou,  O 
B6l-te-shaz-zar,  declare  the  inter- 
pretation thereof,  * forasmuch  as  all 
the  wise  men  of  my  kingdom  are 
not  able  to  make  known  unto  me 
the  interpretation : but  thou  art 
able;  *for  the  spirit  of  the  holy 
gods  is  in  thee. 

19  51  Then  Dan-iel,  Gvhose  name 
tvas  Bel-te-shaz-zar,  was  astonied 
for  one  hour,  and  his  thoughts 
troubled  him.  The  king  spake,  and 
said,  Bel-te-shaz-zar,  let  not  the 
dream,  or  the  interpretation  there- 
of, trouble  thee.  Bel-te-shaz-zar 
answered  and  said.  My  lord,  ^the 
dream  be  to  them  that  hate  thee, 
and  the  interpretation  thereof  to 
thine  enemies. 

20  5 The  tree  that  thou  sawest, 
which  grew,  and  was  strong,  whose 
height  reached  unto  the  heaven,  and 
the  sight  thereof  to  all  the  earth ; 

2 1 Whose  leaves  were  fair,  _ and 
the  fruit  thereof  much,  and  in  it 
was  meat  for  all ; under  which  the 
beasts  of  the  field  dwelt,  and  upon 
whose  branches  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven  had  their  habitation: 

22  *It  is  thou,  O king,  that  art 
grown  and  become  strong:  for  thy 
greatness  is  grown,  and  reacheth 
unto  heaven,  “ and  thy  dominion  to 
the  end  of  the  earth. 

23  *And  whereas  the  king  saw  a 
watcher  and  an  holy  one  coming 
down  from  heaven,  and  saying. 
Hew  the  tree  down,  and  destroy  it ; 
yet  leave  the  stump  of  the  roots 
thereof  in  the  earth,  even  with  a 
band  of  iron  and  brass,  in  the  ten- 
der grass  of  the  field  ; and  let  it  be 
wet  with  the  dew  of  heaven,  ^and 
let  his  portion  be  with  the  beasts 
of  the  field,  till  seven  times  pass 
over  him ; 

24  This  is  the  interpretation,  O 
king,  and  this  is  the  decree  of  the 
most  High,  which  is  come  upon  my 
lord  the  king : 


788 


the  king's  dream. 


DANIEL,  5. 


Belshazzar's  impious  feast. 


25  That  they  shall  “drive  thee 
from  men,  and  thy  dwelling  shall 
be  with  the  beasts  of  the  field,  and 
they  shall  make  thee  Ho  eat  grass 
as  oxen,  and  they  shall  wet  thee 
with  the  dew  of  heaven,  and  seven 
times  shall  pass  over  thee,  ®till  thou 
know  that  the  most  High  ruleth  in 
the  kingdom  of  men,  and  •''giveth  it 
to  whomsoever  he  will. 

26  And  whereas  they  commanded 
to  leave  the  stump  of  the  tree  roots ; 
thy  kingdom  shall  be  sure  unto 
thee,  after  that  thou  shalt  have 
known  that  the  * heavens  do  rule. 

27  Wherefore,  O king,  let  my 
counsel  be  acceptable  unto  thee, 
and  Hreak  off  thy  sins  by  right- 
eousness, and  thine  iniquities  by 
shewing  mercy  to  the  poor ; if 
it  may  be  lengthening  of  thy 
tranci^uillity. 

28  II  All  this  came  upon  the  king 
N 6b-u-chad-n6z-zar. 

29  At  the  end  of  twelve  months 
he  walked  ^in  the  palace  of  the 
kingdom  of  Bab~y-l5n. 

30  The  king  spake,  and  said.  Is 
not  this  great  Bab-y-l6n,  that  I have 
built  for  the  house  of  the  kingdom 
by  the  might  of  my  ^ower,  and  for 
the  honour  of  my  majesty  % 

31  ’‘While  the  word  was  in  the 
king’s  mouth,  there  fell  /a  voice 
from  heaven,  saying,  O king  N6b- 
u-chad-n6z-zar,  to  thee  it  is  spoken ; 
The  kingdom  is  departed  from  thee. 

32  And  Hhey  shall  drive  thee 
from  men,  and  thy  dwelling  shall 
he  with  the  beasts  of  the  field  : they 
shall  make  thee  to  eat  grass  as  oxen, 
and  seven  times  shall  pass  over  thee, 
until  thou  know  that  the  most  High 
ruleth  in  the  kingdom  of  men,  and 
giveth  it  to  whomsoever  he  will. 

33  The  same  hour  was  the  thing 
fulfilled  upon  N6b-u-chad-n6z-zar  : 
and  he  was  driven  from  men,  and 
did  eat  grass  as  oxen,  and  his  body 
was  wet  with  the  dew  of  heaven, 
till  his  hairs  were  grown  like 
eagles’  feathers,  and  his  nails  like 
birds’  claws. 

34  And  ^at  the  end  of  the  days  I 
N6b-u-chad-ngz-zar  lifted  up  mine 
eyes  unto  heaven,  and  mine  under- 
standing returned  unto  me,  and  I 
blessed  the  most  High,  and  I praised 
and  honoured  him  ®that  liveth  for 
ever,  whose  dominion  is  ‘^an  ever- 
lasting dominion,  and  his  kingdom 
is  from  generation  to  generation  : 

35  And  ®all  the  inhabitants  of  the 
earth  are  reputed  as  nothing : and 
^he  doeth  according  to  his  will  in 
the  army  of  heaven,  and  among  the 
inliabitants  of  the  earth:  and  ’‘none 


can  stay  his  hand,  or  say  unto  him, 
’’What  does t thou  1 

36  At  the  same  time  my  reason 
returned  unto  me;  ‘’and  for  the 
glory  of  my  kingdom,  mine  honour 
and  brightness  returned  unto  me ; 
and  my  counsellors  and  my  lords 
sought  unto  me ; and  I was  estab- 
lished in  my  kingdom,  and  excel- 
lent majesty  was  ^ added  unto  me. 

37  Now  I N6b-u-chad-nez-zar 
praise  and  extol  and  honour  the 
King  of  heaven,  ’‘all  whose  works 
are  truth,  and  his  ways  judgment : 
*and  those  that  walk  in  pride  he 
is  able  to  abase. 

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Belshazzar's  impious  feast.  5 A handtvriting  troubleth 
the  king.  10  At  the  commendation  of  the  queen  Daniel 
is  brought.  17  He,  reproving  the  king  of  pride,  25  read- 
eth  and  interpreteth  the  writing.  30  The  monarchy  is 
translated  to  the  Medes. 

BEL-SHAZ-ZAR  the  king  “made 
a great  feast  to  a thousand  of 
his  lords,  and  drank  wine  before 
the  thousand. 

2  Bel-shaz-zar,  whiles  he  tasted 
the  wine,  commanded  to  bring  the 
golden  and  silver  vessels  which 
his  ^father  N6b-u-chad-nez-zar  had 
taken  out  of  the  temple  which  was 
in  JAru-sa-lem ; that  the  king,  and 
his  princes,  his  wives,  and  his  con- 
cubines, might  drink  therein. 

3  Then  they  brought  the  golden 
vessels  that  were  taken  out  of  the 
temple  of  the  house  of  God  which 
was  at  Je-ru-sa-lem ; and  the  king, 
and  his  princes,  his  wives,  and  his 
concubines,  drank  in  them. 

4  They  drank  wine,  “and  praised 
the  gods  of  gold,  and  of  silver,  of 
brass,  of  iron,  of  wood,  and  of 
stone. 

5  H '‘^In  the  same  hour  came  forth 
fingers  of  a man’s  hand,  and  wrote 
over  against  the  candlestick  upon 
the  plaister  of  the  wall  of  the  king’s 
palace : and  the  king  saw  the  part 
of  the  hand  that  wrote. 

6  Then  the  king’s  ^countenance 
®was  changed,  and  his  thoughts 
troubled  him,  so  that  the  joints 
of  his  loins  were  loosed,  and  his 
^ knees  smote  one  against  another. 

7  “The  king  cried  ‘’aloud  to  bring 
in  ’’the  astrologers,  the  Chal-de-ans, 
and  the  soothsayers.  And  the  king 
spake,  and  said  to  the  wise  men 
of  Bab-y-l5n,  Whosoever  shall  read 
this  writing,  and  shew  me  the  in- 
terpretation thereof,  shall  be  clothed 
with  Hcarlet,  and  have  a chain  of 
gold  about  his  neck,  •’'and  shall  be 
the  third  ruler  in  the  kingdom. 

8  Then  came  in  all  the  king’s  wise 
men:  ’but  they  could  not  read  the

DANIEL,  5. 


The  handwriting,  and 

writing,  nor  make  known  to  the 
king  the  interpretation  thereof. 

9 Then  was  king  Bel-shaz-zar 
greatly  “troubled,  and  his  ^counte- 
nance was  changed  in  him,  and  his 
lords  were  astonied. 

10  *fl  Noiv  the  queen  by  reason  of 
the  words  of  the  king  and  his  lords 
came  into  the  banquet  house : and 
the  queen  spake  and  said,  ‘'O  king, 
live  for  ever : let  not  thy  thoughts 
trouble  thee,  nor  let  thy  counte- 
nance be  changed : 

11  * There  is  a man  in  thy  king- 
dom, in  whom  is  the  spirit  of  the 
holy  gods ; and  in  the  days  of  thy 
^father  light _ and  understanding 
and  wisdom,  like  the  wisdom  of  the 
gods,  was  found  in  him  ; whom  the 
king  Neb-u-ehad-nez-zar  thy  ® fa- 
ther, the  king,  I say,  thy  father, 
made  ^master  of  the  magicians, 
astrologers,  -Ghal-de-ans,  and  sooth- 
sayers ; 

12  * Forasmuch  as  an  excellent 
spirit,  and  knowledge,  and  under- 
standing, '^interpreting  of  dreams, 
and  shewing  of  hard  sentences,  and 
^dissolving  of  ^doubts,  were  found 
in  the  same  Dan-iel,  ’“whom  the 
king  named  B6l-te-shaz-zar : now 
let  D^ndel  be  called,  and  he  will 
shew  the  interpretation. 

1 3 Then  was  Dandel  brought  in 
before  the  king.  And  the  king 
spake  and  said  unto  Dan-iel,  Art 
thou  that  Dan-iel,  which  art  of  the 
children  of  the  captivity  of  Ju-dah, 
whom  the  king  my  ^ father  brought 
out  of  Jew-ry '? 

14  I have  even  heard  of  thee,  that 
^the  spirit  of  the  gods  is  in  thee,  and 
that  light  and  understanding  and 
excellent  wisdom  is  found  in  thee. 

15  And  now  «the  wise  men,  the 
astrologers,  have  been  brought  in 
before  me,  that  they  should  read 
this  writing,  and  make  known  unto 
me  the  interpretation  thereof  : but 
they  could  not  shew  the  interpreta- 
tion of  the  thing : 

16  And  I have  heard  of  thee,  that 
thou  canst  ^make  interpretations, 
and  dissolve  doubts  : *now  if  thou 
canst  read  the  writing,  and  make 
known  to  me  the  interpretation 
thereof,  thou  shalt  be  clothed  with 
scarlet,  and  have  a chain  of  gold 
about  thy  neck,  and  shalt  be  the 
third  ruler  in  the  kingdom. 

17  51  Then  Danqgl  answered  and 
pid  before  the  king,  Let  thy  gifts 
be  to  thyself,  and  give  thy  ^rewards 
to  another ; yet  I will  read  the 
writing  unto  the  king,  and  make 
known  to  him  the  interpretation.

BanieVs  interpretation  of  it. 

God  gave  N6b-u-ehad-n6z-zar  thy 
father  a kingdom,  and  majesty,  and 
glory,  and  honour : 

19  And  for  the  majesty  that  he 
gave  him,  *all  people,  nations,  and 
languages,  trembled  and  feared  be* 
fore  him  : whom  he  would  he  slew ; 
and  whom  he  would  he  kept  alive ; 
and  whom  he  would  he  set  up ; and 
whom  he  would  he  put  down. 

20  ‘'But  when  his  heart  was  lifted 
up,  and  his  mind  hardened  ^in 
pride,  he  was  ^deposed  from  his 
kingly  throne,  and  they  took  his 
glory  from  him : 

21  And  he  was  -^driven  from  the 
sons  of  men ; and  ^his  heart  was 
made  like  the  beasts,  and  his  dwell- 
ing was  with  the  wild  asses : they 
fed  him  with  grass  like  oxen,  and 
his  body  was  wet  with  the  dew  of 
heaven ; '‘till  he  knew  that  the  most 
high  God  ruled  in  the  kingdom  of 
men,  and  that  he  appointeth  over  it 
whomsoever  he  will. 

22  And  thou  his  son,  O Bel-shaz- 
zar,  *hast  not  humbled  thine  heart, 
though  thou  knewest  all  this ; 

23  'But  hast  lifted  up  thyself 
against  the  Lord  of  heaven ; and 
they  have  brought  the  vessels  of  his 
house  before  thee,  and  thou,  and  thy 
lords,  thy  wives,  and  thy  concu- 
bines, have  drunk  wine  in  them : 
and  thou  hast  praised  the  gods  of 
silver,  and  gold,  of  brass,  iron,  wood, 
and  stone,  “which  see  not,  nor  hear, 
nor  know:  and  the  God  in  whose 
hand  thy  breath  is,  “and  whose  are 
all  thy  ways,  hast  thou  not  glorified : 

24  Then  was  the  part  of  the  hand 
sent  from  him;  and  this  writing 
was  written. 

25  51  And  this  is  the  writing  that 
was  written,  ME^NE,  ME^NE,  TE^ 
KEL,  U-PHAB^SIN. 

26  This  is  the  interpretation  of 
the  thing : ME^NE  ; God  hath 
numbered  thy  kingdom,  and  fin- 
ished it. 

27  TE-KEL ; ’’Thou  art  weighed 
in  the  balances,  and  art  found 
wanting. 

28  PE-RES ; Thy  kingdom  is  di- 
vided, and  given  to  the  'Medes  and 
“Per-si-ans. 

""29  Then  commanded  Bel-shaz-zar, 
and  they  clothed  Dan-jel  with  scar- 
let, and  put  a chain  of  gold  about 
his  neck,  and  made  a proclamation 
concerning  him,  “that  he  should  be 
the  third  ruler  in  the  kingdom. 

30  51  ^ In  that  night  was  B6l-shaz- 
zar  the  king  of  the -Ghal-de-ans  slain. 

31  *And  Da-ri-us  the^  Me^i-an 
took  the  kingdom,  ^ being  ® about 
threescore  and  two  years  old. 


Daniel  is  cast 


DANIEL,  6. 


into  the  lions^  den. 


CHAPTER  6. 


1 Daniel  is  made  chief  of  the  presidents.  4 They  obtain  an 
idolatrous  decree.  10  Daniel  is  cast  into  the  lions'  den. 
18  He  is  saved,  25  and  God  is  magnified. 


“ ver.  8. 


IT  pleased  Da-ri-ils  to  set  ^over 
the  kingdom  an  hundred  and 
twenty  princes,  which  should  be 
over  the  whole  kingdom ; 

2  And  over  these  three  presidents; 
of  whom  Dan-iel  was  first : that  the 
princes  might  give  accounts  unto 
them,  and  the  king  should  have  no 
damage. 

3  Then  this  Dan-iel  was  preferred 
above  the  presidents  and  princes, 
•'^because  an  excellent  spirit  was  in 
him ; and  the  king  thought  to  set 
him  over  the  whole  realm. 

4  H ®^Then  the  presidents  and 
princes  sought  to  find  occasion  a- 

gainst  Dan-iel  concerning  the  king- 
om ; but  they  could  find  none 
occasion  nor  fault  ; forasmuch  as 
he  was  faithful,  neither  was  there 
any  error  or  fault  found  in  him. 

5  Then  said  these  men.  We  shall 
not  find  any  occasion  against  this 
Dan-iel,  except  we  find  it  against 
him  concerning  the  law  of  his  God. 

6  Then  these  presidents  and  princes 
^assembled  together  to  the  king,  and 
said  thus  unto  him,  *King  Da-ri-tis, 
live  for  ever. 

7  All  the  presidents  of  the  king- 
dom, the  governors,  and  the  princes, 
the  counsellors,  and  the  captains, 
have  consulted  together  to  establish 
a royal  statute,  and  to  make  a firm 
^decree,  that  whosoever  shall  ask  a 
petition  of  any  God  or  man  for 
thirty  days,  save  of  thee,  O king,  he 
shall  be  cast  into  the  den  of  lions. 

8  Now,  O king,  establish  the  de- 
cree, and  sign  the  writing,  that  it 
be  not  changed,  according  to  the 
”law  of  the  Medes  and  Per-si-ans, 
which  ^altereth  not. 

9  Wherefore  king  Da-ri-us  signed 
the  writing  and  the  decree. 

ion  Now  when  Danhel  knew  that 
the  writing  was  signed,  he  went 
into  his  house ; and  his  windows 
being  open  in  his  chamber  « toward 
Je-ru-sa-lem,  he  kneeled  upon  his 
knees  ^three  times  a day,  and  prayed, 
and  gave  thanks  before  his  God,  as 
he  did  aforetime. 

1 1  Then  these  men  assembled,  and 
found  Dan-i6l  praying  and  making 
supplication  before  his  God. 

12  “Then  they  came  near,  and 
spake  before  the  king  concerning 
the  king’s  decree;  Hast  thou  not 
signed  a decree,  that  every  man 
that  shall  ask  a petition  of  any  God 
or  man  within  thirty  days,  save  of 
thee,  O king,  shall  be  cast  into  the

den  of  lions  1 The  king  answered 
and  said.  The  thing  is  true,  “ac- 
cording to  the  law  of  the  Medes  and 
Per-si-ans,  which  altereth  not.  ’ 

13  Then  answered  they  and  said 
before  the  king.  That  Dan-iel,  ‘'which 
is  of  the  children  of  the  captivity 
of  Ju-dah,  '^regardeth  not  thee,  O 
king,  nor  the  decree  that  thou  hast 
signed,  but  maketh  his  petition 
three  times  a day. 

14  Then  the  king,  when  he  heard 
these  words,  ‘’was  sore  displeased 
with  himself,  and  set  his  heart  on 
Dan-iel  to  deliver  him : and  he 
laboured  till  the  going  down  of  the 
sun  to  deliver  him. 

15  Then  these  men  assembled  un- 
to the  king,  and  said  unto  the  king. 
Know,  O king,  that  ^the  law  of  the 
Medes  and  Per-si-ans  is,  That  no 
decree  nor  statute  which  the  king 
establisheth  may  be  changed. 

1 6 Then  the  king  commanded,  and 
they  brought  Dan-iel,  and  cast  him 
into  the  den  of  lions.  Now  the  king 
spake  and  said  unto  Danhel,  Thy 
God  whom  thou  servest  continually, 
he  will  deliver  thee. 

17  *And  a stone  was  brought,  and 
laid  upon  the  mouth  of  the  den ; 
^and  the  king  sealed  it  with  his 
own  signet,  and  with  the  signet  of 
his  lords ; that  the  purpose  might 
not  be  changed  concerning  Danhel. 

18  ^ Then  the  king  went  to  his 
palace,  and  passed  the  night  fast- 
ing : neither  were  ^ instruments  of 
musick  brought  before  him : and 
his  sleep  went  from  him. 

1 9 Then  the  king  arose  very  early 
in  the  morning,  and  went  in  haste 
unto  the  den  of  lions. 

20  And  when  he  came  to  the  den, 
he  cried  with  a lamentable  voice 
unto  Dandel : and  the  king  spake 
and  said  to  Dandel,  O Danhel,  serv- 
ant of  the  living  God,  "is  thy  God, 
whom  thou  servest  continually,  able 
to  deliver  thee  from  the  lions  % 

21  Then  said  Danhel  unto  the 
king,  p O king,  live  for  ever. 

22  ^My  God  hath  sent  his  angel, 
and  hath  *shut  the  lions’  mouths, 
that  they  have  not  hurt  me  : foras- 
much as  before  him  innocency  was 
found  in  me  ; and  also  before  thee, 
O king,  have  I done  no  hurt. 

23  Then  was  the  king  exceeding 
glad  for  him,  and  commanded  that 
they  should  take  Dand^l  up  out  of 
the  den.  So  Danhel  was  taken  up 
out  of  the  den,  and  no  manner  of 
hurt  w^s  found  upon  him,  ’‘’because 
he  believed  in  his  God. 

24  H And  the  king  commanded, 
^and  they  brought  those  men  which 


791

had  accused  Dan-i6l,  and  they  cast 
them  into  the  den  of  lions,  them, 
® their  children,  and  their  wives ; 
and  the  lions  had  the  mastery  of 
them,  and  brake  all  their  bones  in 

Eieces  or  ever  they  came  at  the 
ottom  of  the  den. 

25  U ‘^Then  king  Da-ri-iis  wrote 
unto  all  people,  nations,  and  lan- 
guages, that  dwell  in  all  the  earth ; 
Peace  be  multiplied  unto  you. 

26  ^ I make  a decree.  That  in  every 
dominion  of  my  kingdom  men 
* tremble  and  fear  before  the  God 
of  Dan-iel : ""for  he  is  the  living 
God,  and  stedfast  for  ever,  and  his 
kingdom  that  which  shall  not  be 
"destroyed,  and  his  dominion  shall 
be  even  unto  the  end. 

27  He  delivereth  and  rescueth, 
’’and  he  worketh  signs  and  won- 
ders in  heaven  and  in  earth,  who 
hath  delivered  Dan-i6l  from  the 
^ power  of  the  lions. 

28  So  this  Dan-igl  prospered  in 
the  reign  of  Da-ri-us,  ‘'and  in  the 
reign  of  *^Cy-rus  the  Per-si-an. 

CHAPTER  7. 

Daniel's  vision  of  four  beasts,  &c. 

IN  the  first  year  of  B6l-shaz-zar 
king  of  Bab-y-l6n  2' Dan-iel  ^ had 
a dream  and  * visions  of  his  head 
upon  his  bed : then  he  wrote  the 
dream,  and  told  the  sum  of  the 
^ matters. 

2  Dandel  spake  and  said,  I saw  in 
my  vision  by  night,  and,  behold, 
the  four  winds  of  the  heaven  strove 
upon  the  great  sea. 

3  And  four  great  beasts  " came  up 
from  the  sea,  diverse  one  from  an- 
other. 

4  The  first  was  -^like  a lion,  and 
had  eagle’s  wings  : I beheld  till  the 
wings  thereof  were  plucked,  ®and 
it  was  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  and 
made  stand  upon  the  feet  as  a man, 
and  a man’s  heart  was  given  to  it. 

5  '"And  behold  another  beast,  a 
second,  like  to  a bear,  and  '^it  raised 
up  itself  on  one  side,  and  it  had 
three  ribs  in  the  mouth  of  it  be- 
tween the  teeth  of  it : and  they  said 
thus  unto  it.  Arise,  devour  much 
flesh. 

6  After  this  I beheld,  and  lo  an- 
other, like  a leopard,  which  had 
upon  the  back  of  it  four  wings  of  a 
fowl ; the  beast  had  also  *four  neads; 
and  dominion  was  given  to  it. 

7  After  this  I saw  in  the  night 
visions,  and  behold  *a  fourth  beast, 
dreadful  and  terrible,  and  strong 
exceedingly ; and  it  had  great  iron 
teeth : it  devoured  and  brake  in 
pieces,  and  stamped  the  residue

8  I considered  the  horns,  and,  be- 
hold, "there  came  up  among  them 
another  little  horn,  before  whom 
there  were  three  of  the  first  horns 

g lucked  up  by  the  roots : and,  be- 
old,  in  tnis  horn  were  eyes  like 
the  eyes  "of  man,  -^and  a mouth 
speaking  great  things. 

9  H '"I  beheld  till  the  thrones  were 
cast  down,  and  *the  Ancient  of  days 
did  sit,  ^ whose  garment  was  white 
as  snow,  and  the  hair  of  his  head 
like  the  pure  wool : his  throne  was 
like  the  fiery  flame,  '^and  his  wheels 
as  burning  fire. 

10^  A fiery  stream  issued  and  came 
forth  from  before  him : ® thousand 
thousands  ministered  unto  him,  and 
ten  thousand  times  ten  thousand 
stood  before  him : * the  judgment 
was  set,  and  the  books  were  opened. 

11  I beheld  them  because  of  the 
voice  of  the  great  words  which  the 
horn  spake  : H beheld  even  till  the 
beast  was  slain,  and  his  body  de- 
stroyed, and  given  to  the  burning 
flame. 

12  As  concerning  the  rest  of  the 
beasts,  they  had  their  dominion 
taken  away : yet  ^ their  lives  were 
prolonged  for  a season  and  time. 

13  I saw  in  the  night  visions, 
and,  behold,  "'one  like  the  Son  of 
man  came  with  the  clouds  pf  hea- 
ven, and  came  to  *’the  Ancient  of 
days,  and  they  brought  him  near 
before  him. 

14  ‘^And  there  was  given  him 
dominion,  and  glory,  and  a king- 
dom, that  all  "people,  nations,  and 
languages,  should  serve  him:  his 
dominion  is  ^an  everlasting  do- 
minion, which  shall  not  pass  away, 
and  his  kingdom  that  which  shall 
not  be  destroyed. 

15  H I Dan-iel  was  grieved  in  my 
spirit  in  the  midst  of  my  ®body, 
and  the  visions  of  my  head  trou- 
bled me. 

16  1 came  near  unto  one  of  them 
that  stood  by,  and  asked  him  the 
truth  of  all  this.  So  he  told  me, 
and  made  me  know  the  interpreta- 
tion of  the  things. 

17  These  great  beasts,  which  are 
four,  are  four  kings,  which  shall 
arise  out  of  the  earth. 

18  But  '^the  saints  of  the  ®most 
High  shall  take  the  kingdom,  and 
possess  the  kingdom  for  ever,  even 
for  ever  and  ever. 

1 9  Then  I would  know  the  truth 
of  the  fourth  beast,  which  was  di- 
verse ®from  all  the  others,  exceed-

ing  dreadful,  whose  teeth  were  of 
iron,  and  his  nails  of  brass ; which 
devoured,  brake  in  pieces,  and 
stamped  the  residue  with  his  feet ; 

20  And  of  the  ten  horns  that 


B.C.  553. 


were  in  his  head,  and  of  the  other 
which  came  up,  and  before  whom 
three  fell ; even  of  that  horn  that 
had  eyes,  and  a mouth  that  spake 
very  great  things,  whose  look  was 
more  stout  than  nis  fellows. 

21  I beheld,  “and  the  same  horn 
made  war  with  the  saints,  and  pre- 
vailed against  them  ; 

22  Until  the  Ancient  of  days  came, 
^and  judgment  was  given  to  the 
saints  of  the  most  High ; and  the 
time  came  that  the  saints  possessed 
the  kingdom. 

23  Thus  he  said.  The  fourth  beast 
shall  be  ‘'the  fourth  kingdom  upon 
earth,  which  shall  be  diverse  from 
all  kingdoms,  and  shall  devour  the 
whole  earth,  and  shall  tread  it  down, 
and  break  it  in  pieces. 

24  ‘^And  the  ten  horns  out  of  this 
kingdom  are  ten  kings  that  shall 
arise : and  another  shall  rise  after 
them ; and  he  shall  be  diverse  from 
the  first,  and  he  shall  subdue  three 
kings. 

25  ‘'And  he  shall  speak  great  words 
against  the  most  High,  and  shall 
''wear  out  the  saints  of  the  most 
High,  and  think  to  change  times 
and  laws:  and  ^ they  shall  be  given 
into  his  hand  '‘until  a tirue  and 
times  and  the  dividing  of  time. 

26  *But  the  judgment  shall  sit, 
and  they  shall  take  away  his  do- 
minion, to  consume  and  to  destroy 
it  unto  the  end. 

27  And  the  * kingdom  and  do- 
minion, and  the  greatness  of  the 
kingdom  under  the  whole  heaven, 
shall  be  given  to  the  people  of  the 
saints  of  the  most  High,  whose 
kingdom  an  everlasting  kingdom, 
^and  all  ° dominions  shall  serve  and 
obey  him. 

28  Hitherto  is  the  end  of  the 
matter.  As  for  me  Dan-i6l,  «'my 
cogitations  much  troubled  me,  and 
my  countenance  changed  in  me : 
but  I “kept  the  matter  in  my  heart.

IN  the  third  year  of  the  reign

appeared  unto  me,  even  unto  me 
Dan-i6l,  after  that  which  appeared 
unto  me  ^at  the  first.

which  is  in  the  province  of  Edam  ; 
and  I saw  in  a vision,  and  1 was  by 
the  river  of  Udai. 

3 Then  I lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and 
saw,  and,  behold,  there  stood  be- 
fore the  river  a ram  which  had 
horns : and  the  two  horns  were  high ; 
but  one  was  higher  than  Hhe  other, 
and  the  higher  came  up  last. 

4 I saw  the  ram  pushing  westward, 
and  northward,  and  southward  ; so 
that  no  beasts  might  stand  before 
him,  neither  was  there  any  that 
could  deliver  out  of  his  hand ; but 
he  did  according  to  his  will,  and 
became  great. 

5 And  as  I was  considering,  behold, 
an  he  goat  came  from  the  west  on 
the  face  of  the  whole  earth,  and 
^touched  not  the  ground:  and  the 
goat  had  ^a  notable  horn  between 
his  eyes. 

6 And  he  came  to  the  ^ ram  that 
had  two  horns,  which  I'  had  seen 
standing  before  the  river,  and  ran 
unto  him  in  the  fury  of  his  power. 

7 And  I saw  him  come  close  unto 
the  ram,  and  he  was  moved  with 
choler  against  him,  and  smote  the 
ram,  andf  brake  his  two  horns  : and 
there  was  no  power  in  the  ram  to 
stand  before  him,  but  he  cast  him 
down  to  the  ground,  and  stamped 
upon  him : and  there  was  none  that 
could  deliver  the  ram  out  of  his 
hand. 

8 Therefore  the  he  goat  waxed 
very  great : and  when  he  was  strong, 
the  great  horn  was  broken ; and  for 
it  came  up  four  notable  ones  toward 
the  four  winds  of  heaven. 

9 And  out  of  one  of  them  came 
forth  a little  horn,  which  waxed 
exceeding  great,  toward  the  south, 
and  toward  the  east,  and  toward 
the  * pleasant  land. 

10  And  it  waxed  great,  even  “^to 
“the  host  of  heaven;  and  °it  cast 
down  some  of  the  host  and  of  the 
stars  to  the  ground,  and  stamped 
upon  them. 

11  Yea,  ’"he  magnified  himself 

•^to  *the  prince  of  the  host,  and  ’by 
him  ^the  daily  sacrifice  was  taken 
away,  and  the  place  of  his  sanctu- 
ary was  cast  down. 

12  And  ®an  host  was  given  him 
against  the  daily  sacrificebY  reason 
01  transgression,  and  it  cast  down 
* the  truth  to  the  ground ; and  it 
practised,  and  prospered. 

13  ^ Then  I heard  ^one  saint 
speaking,  and  another  saint  said 
unto  ‘'Hhat  certain  saint  which 
spake.  How  long  sJmll  he  the  vision 
concerning  the  daily  sacrifice^  and 
the  transgression  ^ of  desolation,  to

DANIEL,  9. 


DanieVs  confession 


give  both  the  sanctuary  and  the 
host  to  be  trodden  under  footl 

14  And  he  said  unto  me,  Unto 
two  thousand  and  three  hundred 
^ days ; then  shall  the  sanctuary  be 
^ cleansed. 

15  H And  it  came  to  pass,  when  I, 
even  I Dan-iel,  had  seen  the  vision, 
and  * sought  for  the  meaning,  then, 
behold,  there  stood  before  me  as 
the  appearance  of  a man. 

16  And  I heard  a man’s  voice 
between  the  hanks_  of  Udai,  which 
called,  and  said,  Ga-bri-el,  make  this 
man  to  understand  the  vision. 

17  So  he  came  near  where  I stood: 
and  when  he  came,  I was  afraid,  and 
®fell  upon  my  face : but  he  said  unto 
me.  Understand.  O son  of  man:  for 
at  the  time  of  the  end  shall  be  the 
vision. 

18  ^ Now  as  he  was  speaking  with 
me,  I was  in  a deep  sleep  on  my 
face  toward  the  ground : ^ but  he 
touched  me,  and  ^set  me  upright. 

1 9 And  he  said.  Behold,  I will  make 
thee  know  what  shall  be  in  the  last 
end  of  the  indignation:  for  at  the 
time  appointed  the  end  shall  he. 

20  The  ram  which  thou  sawest 
having  two  horns  are  the  kings  of 
Me-di-a  and  Per-si-a. 

21  And  the  rough  goat  is  the  king 
of  Gre-ci-a : and  the  great  horn  that 
is  between  his  eyes  is  the  first  king. 

22  Now  that  being  broken,  where- 
as four  stood  up  for  it,  four  king- 
doms shall  stand  up  out  of  the 
nation,  but  not  in  his  power. 

23  And  in  the  latter  time  of  their 
kingdom,  when  the  transgressors 
®are  come  to  the  full,  a king  of  fierce 
countenance,  and  understanding 
darrk  sentences,  shall  stand  up. 

24  And  his  power  shall  be  mighty, 
*but  not  by  his  own  power : and 
he  shall  destroy  wonderfully,  and 
shall  prosper,  and  practise,  and 
shall  destroy  the  mighty  and  the 

holy  people. 

25  And  through  his  policy  also  he 
shall  cause  craft  to  prosper  in  his 
hand ; and  he  shall  magnify  himself 
in  his  heart,  and  by  ® peace  shall 
destroy  many ; he  shall  also  stand 
upagainstthePrinceof  nrinces;  but 
he  shall  be  ” broken  without  hand. 

26  And  the  vision  of  the  evening 
and  the  morning  which  was  told 
is  true:  ^wherefore  shut  thou  up 
the  vision ; for  it  shall  he  for  many 
days. 

27  « And  I Dan-iel  fainted,  and  was 
sick  certain  days ; afterward  I rose 
up,  and  did  the  king’s  business ; and 
1 was  astonished  at  the  vision,  but 
none  understood  it.

CHAPTER  9. 

1 Daniel  maheth  confession  of  sins,  16  and  prayeth  for 
Jerusalem,.  20  Of  the  seventy  weeks. 

IN  the  first  year  * of  Da-ri-iis  the 
son  of  A-has-Q;-e-rus,  of  the  seed 
of  the  Medes,  ^ which  was  made  king 
over  the  realm  of  the  -Ghal-de-ans ; 
2 In  the  first  year  of  his  reign  I 
Dan-iel  understood  by  books  the 
number  of  the  years,  whereof  the 
word  of  the  Loed  came  to  ®Jer-e- 
mi-ah  the  prophet,  that  he  would 
accomplish  seventy  years  in  the 
desolations  of  Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

3  H ‘^And  I set  my  face  unto  the 
Lord  God,  to  seek  by  prayer  and 
supplications,  with  fasting,  and 
sackcloth,  and  ashes: 

4  And  I prayed  unto  the  Loed 
my  God,  and  made  my  confession, 
and  said,  O -^Lord,  the  great  and 
dreadful  God,  keeping  the  cove- 
nant and  mercy  to  them  that  love 
him,  and  to  them  that  keep  his 
commandments ; 

5  *We  have  sinned,  and  have  com- 
mitted iniquity,  and  have  done 
wickedly,  and  have  rebelled,  even 
by  departing  from  thy  precepts  and 
from  thy  judgments : 

6  Neither  have  we  hearkened  un- 
to thy  servants  the  prophets,  which 
spake  in  thy  name  to  our  kings,  our 
princes,  and  our  fathers,  and  to  all 
the  people  of  the  land. 

7  O Lord,  * righteousness  ^belongeth 
unto  thee,  but  unto  us  confusion  of 
faces,  as  at  this  day ; to  the  men 
of  Ju-dah,  and  to  the  inhabitants  of 
Je-ru-sa-l6m,  and  unto  all  Is-ra-el, 
that  are  near,  and  that  are  far  off, 
through  all  the  countries  whither 
thou  hast  driven  them,  because  of 
their  trespass  that  they  have  tres- 
passed against  thee. 

8  O Lord,  to  us  belongeth  confusion 
of  face,  to  our  kings,  to  our  princes, 
and  to  our  fathers,  because  we  have 
sinned  against  thee. 

9  ”*To  the  Lord  our  God  belong 
mercies  and  forgivenesses,  though 
we  have  rebelled  against  him; 

10  Neither  have  we  obeyed  the 
voice  of  the  Loed  our  God,  to  walk 
in  his  laws,  which  he  set  before  us 
by  his  servants  the  prophets. 

11  Yea,  ‘’all  IsYa-€l  have  trans- 
gressed thy  law,  even  by  depart- 
ing, that  they  might  not  obey 
thy  voice;  therefore  the  curse  is 
poured  upon  us,  and  the  oath  that 
is  written  in  the  law  of  Mo-s6s  the 
servant  of  God,  because  we  have 
sinned  against  him. 

12  And  he  hath  ’‘confirmed  his 
words,  which  he  spake  against  us, 
and  against  our  judges  that  judged

us,  by  bringing  upon  us  a great 
evil:  "^for  under  the  whole  heaven 
hath  not  been  done  as  hath  been 
done  upon  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

13  As  it  is  written  in  the  law  of 
Mo-ses,  all  this  evil  is  come  upon 
us : ‘’yet  ^made  we  not  our  prayer 
before  the  Lokd  our  God,  that  we 
might  turn  from  our  iniquities,  and 
understand  thy  truth. 

14  Therefore  hath  the  Lord 
^ watched  upon  the  evil,  and 
brought  it  upon  us : for  Hhe  Lord 
our  God  is  righteous  in  all  his 
works  which  he  doeth : for  we 
obeyed  not  his  voice. 

1 5 And  now,  O Lord  our  God,  * that 
hast  brought  thy  people  forth  out 
of  the  land  of  E-gypt  with  a mighty 
hand,  and  hast  ^gotten  thee  re- 
nown, as  at  this  day ; we  have 
sinned,  we  have  done  wickedly. 

16  IT  O Lord,  "according  to  all  thy 
righteousness,  I beseech  thee,  let 
thine  anger  and  thy  fury  be  turned 
away  from  thy  city  Je-ru-sa-lem, 
*thy  holy  mountain  : because  for 
our  sins,  ^and  for  the  iniquities  of 
our  fathers,  “JAru-sa-lem  and  thy 
people  ^are  become  a reproach  to 
all  that  are  about  us. 

17  Now  therefore,  O our  God,  hear 
the  prayer  of  thy  servant,  and  his 
supplications,  “and  cause  thy  face 
to  shine  upon  thy  sanctuary  *that 
is  desolate,  ‘’for  the  Lord’s  sake. 

18  my  God,  incline  thine  ear, 
and  hear ; open  thine  eyes,  -^and  be- 
hold our  desolations,  and  the  city 

which  is  called  by  thy  name  : for 
we  do  not  ^present  our  supplica- 
tions before  thee  for  our  righteous- 
nesses, but  for  thy  great  mercies. 

19  0 Lord,  hear ; O Lord,  forgive ; 
O Lord,  hearken  and  do ; defer  not, 
for  thine  own  sake,  O my  God  : for 
thy  city  and  thy  people  are  called 
by  tlw  name. 

20  If  And  whiles  I was  speaking, 
and  praying,  and  confessing  my  sin 
and  the  sin  of  my  people  Is-ra-6l, 
and  presenting  my  supplication  be- 
fore the  Lord  my  God  for  the  holy 
mountain  of  my  God  ; 

21  Yea,  whiles  I was  shaking 
in  prayer,  even  the  man  ^Ga-bri-6l, 
whom  I had  seen  in  the  vision  at 
the  beginning,  being  caused  to  fly 
’swiftly,  touched  me  about  the  time 
of  the  evening  oblation. 

22  And  he  informed  me,  and  talked 
with  me,  and  said,  O Dan-i6l,  I am 
now  come  forth  *^to  give  thee  skill 
and  understanding. 

23  At  the  beginning  of  thy  sup- 
plications the  ^commandment  came 
forth,  and  I am  come  to  shew  thee  ;

upon  thy  people  and  upon  thy  holy 
city,  ‘^to  finish  the  transgression,

covenant  with  many  for  one  week : 
and  in  the  midst  of  the  week  he 
shall  cause  the  sacrifice  and  the 
oblation  to  cease,  and  for  the  over- 
spreading of  abominations  he  shall 
make  it  desolate,  ‘^even  until  the 
consummation,  and  that  determined 
shall  be  poured  upon  the  Mesolate. 

CHAPTER  10. 

Daniel  having  humbled  himself  seeth  a vision. 

IN  the  third  year  of  Cy-riis  king 
of  Per-p-a  a thing  was  revealed 
unto  Dan-i6l,  whose  name  was  called 
Bel-te-shaz-zar  ; and  the  thing  was 
true,  but  the  time  appointed  was 
^long : and  he  understood  the  thing, 
and  had  understanding  of  the  vision. 
2 In  those  days  I Dandel  was 
mourning  three  ^full  weeks. 

3  I ate  no  ^pleasant  bread,  neither 
came  flesh  nor  wine  in  my  mouth, 
neither  did  I anoint  myself  at  all,  till 
three  whole  weeks  were  fulfilled. 

4  And  in  the  four  and  twentieth 
day  of  the  first  month,  as  I was  by 
the  side  of  the  great  river,  which  is 
Hid^d6-k6l : 

5  Then  I lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and 
looked,  and  behold  ^a  certain  man 
clothed  in  linen,  whose  loins  were 
* girded  with  fine  gold  of  U-phaz : 
6 His  body  also  was  like  the  beryl, 
and  his  face  as  the  appearance  of 
lightning,  and  his  eyes  as  lamps  of 
fire,  and  nis  arms  and  his  feet  like 
in  colour  to  polished  brass,  *and 


DanieVs  glorious  vision. 


DANIEL.  11. 


The  overthrow  of  Persia. 


the  voice  of  his  words  like  the  voice 
of  a multitude. 

7 And  I Dan-iel  alone  saw  the 
vision : for  the  men  that  were  with 
me  saw  not  the  vision ; but  a great 
quaking  fell  upon  them,  so  that  they 
fled  to  hide  themselves. 

8 Therefore  I was  left  alone,  and 
saw  this  great  vision,  and  there 
remained  no  strength  in  me  : for 
my  ^comeliness  was  turned  in  me 
into  corruption,  and  I retained  no 
strength. 

9 Yet  heard  I the  voice  of  his 
words  : and  when  I heard  the  voice 
of  his  words,  then  was  I in  a deep 
sleep  on  my  face,  and  my  face  to- 
ward the  ground. 

ion  ®And,  behold,  an  hand  touched 
me,  which  ^set  me  upon  my  knees 
and  upon  the  palms  of  my  hands. 

11  And  he  said  unto  me,  O Dan- 
iel, •^a'*  man  greatly  beloved,  under- 
stand the  words  that  I speak  unto 
thee,  and  ® stand  upright : for  unto 
thee  am  I now  sent.  And  when  he 
had  spoken  this  word  unto  me,  I 
stood  trembling. 

12  Then  said  he  unto  me,  '^Fear 
not,  Dan-iel : for  from  the  first  day 
that  thou  didst  set  thine  heart  to 
understand,  and  to  chasten  thyself 
before  thy  God,  *thy  words  were 
heard,  and  I am  come  for  thy  words. 

13  ’^But  the  prince  of  the  kingdom 
of  Per-si-a  withstood  me  one  and 
twenty  days:  but,  lo,'’Mi-cha-el,®one 
of  the  chief  princes,  came  to  help 
me ; and  I remained  there  with  the 
kings  of  Per-si-a. 

14  Now  I am  come  to  make  thee 
understand  what  shall  befall  thy 
people  ^in  the  latter  days  : ®for  yet 
the  vision  is  for  many  days. 

15  And  when  he  had  spoken  such 
words  unto  me,  I set  my  face  toward 
the  ground,  and  I became  dumb. 

16  And,  behold,  ^one  like  the  simil 
itude  of  the  sons  of  men  * touched 
my  lips : then  I opened  my  mouth, 
and  spake,  and  said  unto  him  that 
stood  oefore  me,  O my  lord,  by  the 
vision  “my  sorrows  are  turned  upon 
me,  and  I have  retained  no  strength. 

17  For  how  can  Hhe  servant  of 
this  my  lord  talk  with  this  my 
lordl  for  as  for  me,  straightway 
there  remained  no  strength  in  me, 
neither  is  there  breath  left  in  me. 

18  Then  there  came  again  and 
touched  me  one  like  the  appearance 
of  a man,  and  he  strengthened  me, 

19  *And  said,  O man  greatly  be- 
loved, ^fear  not : peace  be  unto 
thee,  be  strong,  yea,  be  strong. 
And  when  he  had  spoken  unto 
me,  I was  strengthened,  and  said.

CHAPTER  11. 

1 The  overthrow  of  Persia.  5 Leagues  and  conflicts  of  the 
kings.  30  The  tyranny  of  the  Romans. 

ALSO  I ‘’in  the  first  year  of  ‘*Da- 
ri-us  the  Mede,  even  I,  stood 
to  confirm  and  to  strengthen  him. 

2 And  now  will  I shew  thee  the 
truth.  Behold,  there  shall  stand 
up  yet  three  kings  in  Per-si-a  ; and 
tne  fourth  shall  be  far  richer  than 
they  all  : and  by  his  strength 
through  his  riches  he  shall  stir  up 
all  against  the  realm  of  Gre-ci-a. 

3 And  ^a  mighty  king  shall  stand 
up,  that  shall  rule  with  great  domin- 
ion, and  Mo  according  to  his  will. 

4 And  when  he  shall  stand  up, 
*his  kingdom  shall  be  broken,  and 
shall  be  divided  toward  the  four 
winds  of  heaven;  and  not  to  his 
posterity,  “nor  according  to  his 
dominion  which  he  ruled : for  his 
kingdom  shall  be  plucked  up,  even 
for  others  beside  those. 

5 H And  the  king  of  the  south  shall 
be  strong,  and  one  of  his  princes; 
and  he  shall  be  strong  above  him, 
and  have  dominion ; his  dominion 
shall  he  a great  dominion. 

6 And  in  the  end  of  years  they 
’shall  join  themselves  together  ; for 
the  king’s  daughter  of  the  south 
shall  come  to  the  king  of  the  north 
to  make  ® an  agreement : but  she 
shall  not  retain  the  power  of  the 
arm ; neither  shall  he  stand,  nor 
his  arm  : but  she  shall  be  given  up, 
and  they  that  brought  her,  and  ^he 
that  begat  her,  and  he  that  strength- 
ened her  in  these  times. 

7 But  out  of  a branch  of  her  roots 
shall  one  stand  up  ^in  his  estate, 
which  shall  come  with  an  army, 
and  shall  enter  into  the  fortress  of 
the  king  of  the  north,  and  shall  deal 
against  them,  and  shall  prevail : 

8 And  shall  also  carry  captives 
into  E-gypt  their  gods,  with  their 
princes,  and  with  ^ their  precious 
vessels  of  silver  and  of  gold ; and 
he  shall  continue  more  years  than 
the  king  of  the  north. 

9 So  the  king  of  the  south  shaU

come  into  kingdom,  and  shall 
return  into  his  own  land. 

10  But  his  sons  shall  be  stirred 
up,  and  shall  assemble  a multitude 
or  great  forces : and  one  shall  cer- 
tainly come,  *and  overflow,  and  pass 
through : ^then  shall  he  return,  and 
be  stirred  up,  ^even  to  his  fortress. 

1 1 And  the  king  of  the  south  shall 
be  moved  with  choler,  and  shall 
come  forth  and  fight  with  him,  even 
with  the  king  of  the  north  : and  he 
shall  set  form  a great  multitude; 
but  the  multitude  shall  be  given 
into  his  hand. 

12  And  when  he  hath  taken  away 
the  multitude,  his  heart  shall  be 
lifted  up ; ana  he  shall  cast  down 
many  ten  thousands : but  he  shall 
not  be  strengthened  by  it. 

13  For  the  king  of  the  north  shall 
return,  and  shall  set  forth  a multi- 
tude greater  than  the  former,  and 
shall  certainly  come  ’after  certain 
years  with  a great  army  and  with 
much  riches.

people  shall  exalt  themselves  to 
est^lish  the  vision  ; but  they  shall 
fall. 

15  So  the  king  of  the  north  shall 
come,  and  cast  up  a mount,  and 
take  ^the  most  fenced  cities : and 
the  arms  of  the  south  shall  not 
withstand,  neither  ^his  chosen  peo- 
ple, neither  shall  there  be  any 
strength  to  withstand. 

16  But  he  that  cometh  against 
him  -^shall  do  according  to  his  own 
will,  and  ^none  shall  stand  before 
him  : and  he  shall  stand  in  ^the 
^glorious  land,  which  by  his  hand 
shall  be  consumed. 

17  He  shall  also  ^set  his  face  to 
enter  with  the  strength  of  his  whole 
kingdom,  and  ^upright  ones  with 
him ; thus  shall  he  do : and  he  shall 
give  hirifi  the  daughter  of  women, 
^corrupting  her : but  she  shall  not 
stand  on  his  side,  ^neither  be  for 
him. 

18  After  this  shall  he  turn  his 
face  unto  the  isles,  and  shall  take 
many : but  a prince  ’for  his  own 
behalf  shall  cause  ® the  rejDroach 
offered  by  him  to  cease:  without

he  shall  stumble  and  fall,  ""and  not

21  And  ^in  his  estate  “shall  stand 
up  a vile  person,  to  whom  they  shall 
not  give  the  honour  of  the  kingdom  ; 
but  he  shall  come  in  peaceably,  and 
obtain  the  kingdom  by  flatteries. 

22  And  with  the  arms  of  a flood 
shall  they  be  overflown  from  before 
him,  and  shall  be  broken;  ‘^yea,  also 
the  prince  of  the  covenant. 

23  And  after  the  league  made  with 
him  ®he  shall  work  deceitfully : for 
he  shall  come  up,  and  shall  become 
strong  with  a small  people. 

24  He  shall  enter  ® peaceably  even 
upon  the  fattest  places  of  the  prov- 
ince ; and  he  shall  do  that  which 
his  fathers  have  not  done,  nor  his 
fathers’  fathers ; he  shall  scatter 
among  them  the  prey,  and  spoil, 
and  riches  : yea,  and  he  shall  ® fore- 
cast his  devices  against  the  strong 
holds,  even  for  a time. 

25  And  he  shall  stir  up  his  power 
and  his  courage  against  the  king  of 
the  south  with  a great  army ; and 
the  king  of  the  south  shall  be 
stirred  up  to  battle  with  a very 
great  and  mighty  army ; but  he 
shall  not  stend : for  they  shall 
forecast  devices  against  him. 

26  Yea,  they  that  feed  of  the  por- 
tion of  his  meat  shall  destroy  him, 
and  his  army  shall  overflow:  ana 
many  shall  fall  down  slain. 

27  And  both  these  kings’  ^hearts 
shall  be  to  do  mischief,  and  they 
shall  speak  lies  at  one  table  ; but  it 
shall  not  prosper : for  yet  the  end 
shall  be  at  the  time  appointed. 

28  Then  shall  he  return  into  his 
land  with  great  riches;  and  his 
heart  shall  be  against  the  holy 
covenant ; and  he  shall  do  exploits, 
and  return  to  his  own  land. 

29  At  the  time  appointed  he  shall 
return,  and  come  toward  the  south ; 
but  it  shall  not  be  as  the  former,  or 
as  the  latter. 

30  H "For  the  ships  of  -Ghit-tlm 
shall  come  against  him : therefore 
he  shall  be  grieved,  and  return,  and 
have  indignation  against  the  holy 
covenant : so  shall  he  do ; he  shall 
even  return,  and  have  intelligence 
with  them  that  forsake  the  holy 
covenant. 

31  And  arms  shall  stand  on  his 
part,  *and  they  shall  pollute  the 
sanctuary  of  strength,  and  shall 
take  away  the  daily  sacriflee,  and 
they  shall  place  the  abomination 
that  ^maketh  desolate. 

32  And  such  as  do  wickedly  against 
the  covenant  shall  he  ^corrupt  by 
flatteries;  but  the  people  that  do

know  their  God  shall  be  strong, 
and  do  exploits. 

33  And  they  that  understand  a- 
mong  the  people  shall  instruct 
many : yet  they  shall  fall  by  the 
sword,  and  by  hame,  by  captivity, 
and  by  spoil,  many  days. 

34  Now  when  they  shall  fall,  they 
shall  be  holpen  with  a little  help : 
but  many  shall  cleave  to  them  with 
flatteries. 

35  And  some  of  them  of  under- 
standing shall  fall.  Ho  try  Hhem, 
and  to  purge,  and  to  make  them 
white,  even  to  the  time  of  the  end : 
because  it  is  yet  for  a time  ap- 
pointed. 

36  And  the  king  shall  do  accord- 
ing to  his  will ; and  he  shall  **  exalt 
himself,  and  magnify  himself  above 
every  god,  and  shall  speak  marvel- 
lous things  against  the  God  of  gods, 
and  shall  prosper  till  the  indigna- 
tion be  accomplished : for  that  that 
is  determined  shall  be  done. 

37  Neither  shall  he  regard  the 
God  of  his  fathers,  nor  the  desire 
of  women,  ^nor  regard  any  god : for 
he  shall  magnify  himself  above  all. 

38  ®But  ®in  his  estate  shall  he 
honour  the  God  of  ’^forces:  and 
a god  whom  his  fathers  knew  not 
shall  he  honour  with  gold,  and 
silver,  and  with  precious  stones, 
and  ® pleasant  things. 

39  Thus  shall  he  do  in  the  ^most 
strong  holds  with  a strange  god, 
whom  he  shall  acknowledge  and 
increase  with  glory : and  he  shall 
cause  them  to  rule  over  many,  and 
shall  divide  the  land  for  ^gain. 

40  And  at  the  time  of  the  end 
shall  the  king  of  the  south  push  at 
him:  and  the  king  of  the  north 
shall  come  against  him  like  a

1 Michael  shall  deliver  Israel  from  their  troubles. 

5 Daniel  is  informed  of  the  times. 

AND  at  that  time  shall  Mi-cha-6l 
J\.  stand  up,  the  great  prince 
which  standeth  for  the  children  of 
thy  people : ^ and  there  shall  be  a 
time  of  trouble,  such  as  never  was 
since  there  was  a nation  even^  to 
that  same  time : and  at  that  time 
thy  people  shall  be  delivered,  every 
one  that  shall  be  found  ® written  in 
the  book. 

2 And  many  of  them  that  sleep  in 
the  dust  of  the  earth  shall  awake, 
•^some  to  everlasting  life,  and  some 
to  shame  and  everlasting  contempt. 

3 And  they  that  be  ^wise  shall 
'"shine  as  the  brightness  of  the  fir- 
mament; and  they  that  turn  many 
to  righteousness  as  the  stars  for 
ever  and  ever. 

4 But  thou,  O Daniel,  ’shut  up 
the  words,  and  seal  the  book,  even 
to  the  time  of  the  end : many  shall 
run  to  and  fro,  and  knowledge  shall 
be  increased. 

5 H Then  I Dan-fSl  looked,  and, 
behold,  there  stood  other  two,  the 
one  on  this  side  of  the  ^bank  of  the 
river,  and  the  other  on  that  side  of 
the  bank  *of  the  river. 

6 And  one  said  to  the  man  clothed 
in  linen,  which  was  ‘‘upon  the  wa- 
ters of  the  river,  'How  long  shall  it 
be  to  the  end  of  these  wonders'? 

7 And  I heard  the  man  clothed  in 
linen,  which  was  upon  the  waters 
of  the  river,  when  he  ""held  up  his 
right  hand  and  his  left  hand  unto 
heaven,  and  sware  by  him  "that 
liveth  for  ever  "that  it  shall  be  for 
a time,  times,  and  ^an  half;  fand 
when  he  shall  have  accomplished 
to  scatter  the  power  of  the  holy 
pe9ple,  all  these  things  shall  be 
finished. 

8 And  I heard,  but  I understood 
not:  then  said  I,  O my  Lord,  what 
shall  be  the  end  of  these  things  ? 

9 And  he  said.  Go  thy  way,  Dan- 
iel : for  the  words  are  closed  up  and 
sealed  till  the  time  of  the  end. 

10  <^Many  shall  be  purified,  and 
made  white,  and  tried ; * but  the 
wicked  shall  do  wickedly : and  none 
of  the  wicked  shall  understand ; but

CHAPTER  1. 

1 ffosea  sheweth  God’s  judgment  for  spiritual  whoredom. 
10  The  restoration  of  Judah  and  Israel. 

The  word  of  the  Lord  that  came 
unto  Ho-se-a,  the  son  of  Be-e-ri, 
in  the  days  of  tTz-zi-ah,  Jo-tham, 
A-haz,  and  Hez-e-ki-ah,  kings  of 
Ju-dah,  and  in  the  days  of  Jer-5- 
bo-am  the  son  of  Jo-ash,  king  of 
Is-ra-el. 

2  The  beginning  of  the  word  of 
the  Lord  by  Ho-se-a.  And  the  Lord 
said  to  Ho-se-a,  Go,  take  unto  thee 
a wife  of  whoredoms  and  children 
of  whoredoms : for  the  land  hath 
committed  great  whoredom,  de- 
parting from  the  Lord. 

3  So  he  went  and  took  Go^mer  the 
daughter  of  Dibda-im;  which  con- 
ceived, and  bare  him  a son. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Call  his  name  J ez-re-6l ; for  yet  a 
little  tvhile,  ®and  I will  ® avenge  the 
blood  of  Jez-rAel  upon  the  house 
of  Je-hu,  and  will  cause  to  cease  the 
kingdom  of  the  house  of  Is-r4-el. 

5  '"And  it  shall  come  to  pass  at  that 
day,  that  I will  break  the  bow  of 
Is-ra-el  in  the  valley  of  J6z^re-el. 

6  H And  she  conceived  again,  and 
bare  a daughter.  And  God  said 
unto  him.  Call  her  name  ^Lo-ru- 
ha-mah : ^for  will  no  more  have 
mercy  upon  the  house  of  Is-ra-el ; 
®but  I will  utterly  take  them  away. 
7 ”But  I will  have  mercy  upon  the 
house  of  Ju-dah,  and  will  save  them 
by  the  Lord  their  God,  and  ^will 
not  save  them  by  bow,  nor  by  sword, 
nor  by  battle,  by  horses,  nor  by 
horsemen. 

8  H Now  when  she  had  weaned 
Lo-ru-ha-mah,  she  conceived,  and 
bare  a son. 

9  Then  said  God,  Call  his  name 
®Lo-am-mi:  for  ye  are  not  my  peo- 
ple, and  I will  not  be  your  God. 

10  H Yet  *the  number  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-gl  shall  be  as  the  sand 
of  the  sea,  which  cannot  be  meas- 
ured nor  numbered ; “ and  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  tfmt  ^in  the  place 
where  it  was  said  unto  them.  Ye 
are  not  my  people,  there  it  shall 


be  said  unto  them.  Ye  are  “the  sons 
of  the  living  God. 

11  ^Then  shall  the  children  of 
Ju-dah  and  the  children  of  lsYa-6l 
be  gathered  together,  and  appoint 
themselves  one  head,  and  they  shall 
come  up  out  of  the  land : for  great 
shall  be  the  day  of  Jez-rO-el. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 The  idolatry  of  the  people.  6 God’s  judgments  against 
them.  14  His  promises  of  reconciliation. 

SAY  ye  unto  your  brethren,  ^Am- 
mi;  and  to  your  sisters,  ^Ra- 
ha-mah. 

2  Plead  with  your  mother,  plead : 
for  she  is  not  my  wife,  neither  am 
I her  husband : let  her  therefore 
ut  away  her  ® whoredoms  out  of 
er  sight,  and  her  adulteries  from 
between  her  breasts; 

3  Lest  strip  her  naked,  and  set 
her  as  in  the  day  that  she  was-^born, 
and  make  her  as  a wilderness,  and 
set  her  like  a dry  land,  and  slay  her 
with  ^thirst. 

4  And  I will  not  have  mercy  upon 
her  children;  for  they  be  the  *cnil- 
dren  of  whoredoms. 

5  *For  their  mother  hath  played 
the  harlot : she  that  conceived  them 
hath  done  shamefully : for  she  said, 
I will  go  after  my  lovers,  ’"that  give 
me  my  bread  and  my  water,  my 
wool  and  my  flax,  mine  oil  and  my 
’drink. 

6  51  Therefore,  behold,  "I  will  hedge 
up  thy  way  with  thorns,  and  ®make 
a wall,  that  she  shall  not  find  her 
paths. 

7  And  she  shall  follow  after  her 
lovers,  but  she  shall  not  overtake 
them ; and  she  shall  seek  them, 
but  shall  not  find  them:  then  shall 
she  say,  ’I  will  go  and  return  to 
my  ’■  first  husband ; for  then  was 
it  better  with  me  than  now. 

8  For  she  did  not  ‘know  that  I 
gave  her  corn,  and  ^wine,  and  oil, 
and  multiplied  her  silver  and  gold, 
^which  they  prepared  for  Ba-al. 

9  Therefore  will  I return,  and  take 
away  my  corn  in  the  time  thereof, 
and  my  wine  in  the  season  thereof,

CHAPTER  3. 

1 By  the  expiation  of  an  adulteress,  4 is  shewed  the 
desolation  of  Israel  before  their  restoration. 

Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me, 
‘'Go  yet,  love  a woman  beloved 
of  /friend,  yet  an  adulteress, 
according  to  the  love  of  the  Lord 
toward  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l,  who 
look  to  other  gods,  and  love  flagons 
^ of  wine. 

2  So  I bought  her  to  me  for  fifteen 
pieces  of  silver,  and  for  an  ho-mer 
of  barley,  and  an  ®nalf  ho-mer  of 
barley : 

3  And  I said  unto  her.  Thou  shalt 
•''abide  for  me  many  days ; thou 
shalt  not  play  the  harlot,  and  thou 
shalt  not  be  for  another  man:  so 
will  I also  be  for  thee. 

4  For  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l  shall 
abide  many  days  / without  a king, 
and  without  a prince,  and  without 
a sacrifice,  and  without  ®an  image, 
and  without  an  *Aph-0d,  and  with- 
out ter-a-phim : 

5  Afterward  shall  the  children  of 
Ish4-el  return,  and/^seek  the  Lord 
tbeir  God,  and  “Da-vid  their  king ; 
and  shall  fear  the  Lord  and  his 
goodness  in  the  "latter  days. 

CHAPTER  4. 

1 God's  judgments  against  the  people,  6 and  the  priests. 

15  Judah  is  exhorted  to  take  warning. 

Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye 
children  of  Is-ra-6l:  for  the 
Lord  hath  a « controversy  with  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land,  because 
there  is  no  truth,  nor  mercy,  nor 
® knowledge  of  God  in  the  land. 

2  By  swearing,  and  lying,  and 
killing,  and  stealing,  and  commit- 
ting adultery,  they  Break  out,  and 
^ blood  toucheth  blood. 

3  Therefore  ""shall  the  land  mourn, 
and  every  one  that  dwelleth  there- 
in shall  languish,  with  the  beasts 
of  tbe  field,  and  with  the  fowls  of 
heaven ; yea,  the  fishes  of  the  sea 
also  shall  be  taken  away. 

4  Yet  let  no  man  strive,  nor  re- 
prove another : for  thy  people  are 
as  they  “ that  strive  with  the  priest. 
5 Therefore  shalt  thou  fall  in  the 
day,  and  the  prophet  also  shall  fall 
with  thee  in  the  night,  and  I will 
^destroy  thy  mother. 

6  iT  "My  people  are  ^destroyed  for

gotten the  law  of  thy  God,  I will 
also  forget  thy  children. 

7 As  they  were  increased,  so  they 
sinned  against  me:  ^therefore  will 
I change  their  glory  into  shame. 

8 They  eat  up  the  sin  of  my  peo- 
ple, and  they  ‘^set  their  heart  on 
their  iniquity. 

9 And  there  shall  be,  like  people, 
like  priest : and  I will  ^punish  them 
for  their  ways,  and  ® reward  them 
their  doings. 

10  For  ‘^they  shall  eat,  and  not 
have  enough : they  shall  commit 
whoredom,  and  shall  not  increase : 
because  they  have  left  off  to  take 
heed  to  the  Lord. 

11  Whoredom  and  wine  and  new 
wine  ®take  away  the  heart. 

12  ^ My  people  ask  counsel  at 
their  •''stocks,  and  their  staff  de- 
clareth  unto  them : for  ^ the  spirit 
of  whoredoms  hath  caused  them  to 
err,  and  they  have  gone  a whoring 
from  under  their  God. 

13  *They  sacrifice  upon  the  tops 
of  the  mountains,  and  purn  incense 
upon  the  hills,  under  oaks  and 
poplars  and  elms,  because  the 
shadow  thereof  is  good : ^ there- 
fore your  daughters  shall  commit 
whoredom,  and  your  spouses  shall 
commit  adultery.

Exhortation  to  repentance. 

CHAPTER  6~  ^ 

1 An  exhortation  to  repentance.  4 A complaint  of  their 
xmtowardness  and  iniquity. 

COME,  and  let  us  return  unto  the 
Lord  : for  ® he  hath  torn,  and 
^he  will  heal  us;  he  hath  smitten, 
and  he  will  bind  us  up. 

2  ‘'After  two  days  will  he  revive 
us : in  the  third  day  he  will  raise  us 
up,  and  we  shall  live  in  his  sight. 

3  ‘^Then  shall  we  know,  we  fol- 
low on  to  know  the  Lord  : his  going 
forth  is  prepared  ® as  the  morning ; 
and  -^he  shall  come  unto  us  ^as  the 
rain,  as  the  latter  and  former  rain 
unto  the  earth.  , ^ n 

4  U O E-phra-im,  what  shall  I do 
unto  thee  1 O Ju-dah,  what  shall  I 
do  unto  thee  1 for  your  ^ goodness  is 
as  a morning  cloud,  and  as  the  early 
dew  it  goeth  away. 

5  Therefore  have  I hewed  mem  by 
the  prophets;  I have  slain  theru 
by  Hhe  words  of  my  mouth : ®and 
thy  judgments  are  as  the  light  that 
goeth  forth. 

6  For  I desired  '’mercy,  and  ^not 
sacrifice;  and  the  « knowledge  of 
God  more  than  burnt  offerings. 

7  But  they  ’ like  men  have  trans- 
gressed the  covenant : there  have 
they  dealt  treacherously  against  me. 
8 Gil-6-ad  is  a city  of  them  that 
work  iniquity,  and  is  ® polluted 
with  blood. 

9  And  as  troops  of  robbers  wait 
for  a man,  so  the  company  of  priests 
murder  in  the  way  ®by  consent : for 
they  commit  ^ lewdness. 

10  I have  seen  an  horrible  thing 
in  the  house  of  Is-ra-el : there  the 
whoredom  of  E-phra-im,  Is-rd-el  is 
defiled. 

11  Also,  O Ju-dah,  he  hath  set  an 
harvest  for  thee,  when  I returned 
the  captivity  of  my  people. 

CHAPTER  7. 

1 A reproof  of  manifold  sins.  11  God’s  wrath  against 
them  for  their  hypocrisy. 

WHEN  I would  have  healed 
Is-ra-el,  then  the  iniquity  of 
E-phra-im  was  discover^,  and  the 
^wickedness  of  Sa-ma-ri-a:  for ^they 
commit  falsehood ; and  the  thief 
cometh  in,  and  the  troop  of  robbers 
® spoileth  without. 

2  And  they  ® consider  not  in  their 
hearts  that  I ‘'remember  all  their 
wickedness  : now  their  own  doings 
have  beset  them  about ; they  are 
before  my  face.

their  wickedness,  and  the  princes 
®with  their  lies.

with  scorners. 

6 For  they  have  ^made  ready  their 
heart  like  an  oven,  whiles  they  lie 
in  wait : their  baker  sleepeth  all

eth  as  a flaming  fire.

none  among  them  that  calleth  un-

fieth  to  his  face  : and  ’’they  do  not 
return  to  the  Lord  their  God,  nor 
seek  him  for  all  this. 

11  ^ ’’E-phra-im  also  is  like  a silly 
dove  without  heart : * they  call  to 
E-gypt,  they  go  to  As-syr^i-a. 

12  When  they  shall  go,  I will 
spread  my  net  upon  them ; I will

*as  their  congregation  hath  heard.

fled  from  me : ^ destruction  unto 
them ! because  they  have  trans- 
gressed against  me : though  “I  have 
redeemed  them,  yet  tney  have 
spoken  lies  against  me. 

14  "=  And  they  have  not  cried  unto 
me  with  their  heart,  when  they 
howled  upon  their  beds : they  as- 
semble themselves  for  corn  and 
wine,  and  they  rebel  against  me. 

15  Though  I ^have  bound  and 
strengthened  their  arms,  yet  do 
they  imagine  mischief  against  me. 

16  They  return,  but  not  to  the 
most  High  : ^ they  are  like  a deceit-

4 “They  have  set  up  kings,  but  not 
by  me : they  have  made  princes, 
and  I knew  it  not:  of  their  silver 
and  their  gold  have  they  made  them 
idols,  that  they  may  be  cut  ojff. 

5 U Thy  calf,  O §a-ma-ri-a,  hath

against  them : * how  long  will  it  be 
ere  they  attain  to  innocency  ? 

6 For  from  I§-ra-^l  was  it  also  : the 
workman  made  it ; therefore  it  is 
not  God  : but  the  calf  of  Sa-ma-ri-a 
shall  be  broken  in  pieces. 

7 For  ‘^they  have  sown  the  wind, 
and  they  shall  reap  the  whirlwind  : 
it  hath  no  ^ stalk:  the  bud  shall 
yield  no  meal : if  so  be  it  yield,  the

8 ^ Is-ra-6l  is  swallowed  up : now

5 What  will  ye  do  in  the  solemn

6 For,  lo,  they  are  gone  because 
of  destruction : E-gypt  shall  gather 
them  up,  Memphis  shall  bury 
them:  ^^the  pleasant for  their 
silver,  nettles  shall  possess  them: 
thorns  shall  be  in  their  tabernacles. 

7 The  days  of  visitation  are  come, 
the  days  of  recompence  are  come ; 
Is-rAgl  shall  know  it : the  prophet 
is  a fool,  the  ® spiritual  man  is  mad, 
for  the  multitude  of  thine  iniquity, 
and  the  great  hatred. 

8 The  watchman  of  E-phra-im  was 
with  my  God : but  the  prophet  is 
a snare  of  a fowler  in  all  his  ways, 
and  hatred  ®in  the  house  of  his 
God. 

9 ^They  have  deeply  corrupted 
themselves,  as  in  the  days  of  *Gib- 
e-ah : therefore  he  will  remember 
their  iniquity,  he  will  visit  their 
sins. 

10  I found  Is-ra-el  like  grapes  in 
the  wilderness ; I saw  your  fathers 
as  the  firstripe  in  the  fig  tree  at 
her  first_  time : but  they  went  to 
’"Ba-al-pe-6r,  and  separated  them- 
selves/unto  that  shame  ; ^and  their 
abominations  were  according  as  they 
loved. 

11  ffs  for  Edhra-im,  their  glory 
shall  fly  away  like  a bird,  from  the 
birth,  and  from  the  womb,  and  from 
the  conception. 

12  Though  they  bring  up  theii 
children,  yet  will  I bereave  them, 
that  there  shall  not  be  a man  left: 
yea,  “ woe  also  to  them  when  I de- 
part from  them ! 

13  Edhra-im,  ^^as  I saw  Ty-rus, 
is  planted  in  a pleasant  place  : but 
Edhra-im  shall  bring  forth  his 
children  to  the  murderer. 

1 4 Givfcj  them,  O Lord  : what  wilt 
thou  give  % give  them  ^a  ^miscarry-

CHAPTER  10. 

Itraxl  i$  reprwed  and  threatened  for  their  impiety 
and  idolatry. 

I'^^-RA-EL  is  ^an  empty  vine,  he 
’bringeth  forth  frnit  unto  him- 
self: according  to  the  multitude 
of  his  fruit  he  hath  increased  the 
altars ; according  to  the  goodness 
of  his  land  they  nave  made  goodly 
^images.  , 

2 Their  heart  is  * divided;  now 
shall  they  be  found  faulty:  he 
shall  ® break  down  their  altars,  he 
shall  spoil  their  images. 

3 For  now  they  shall  say,  We  have 
no  king,  because  we  feared  not  the 
Lord  ; what  then  should  a king  do 
to  us 

4 They  have  spoken  words,  swear- 
ing falsely  in  making  a covenant : 
thus  judgment  springeth  up  ‘’as 
hemlock  in  the  furrows  of  the 
fi0ld 

5 The  inhabitants  of  Sa-ma'ri-a 
shall  fear  because  of  the  calves  of 
Beth-a-ven : for  the  people  thereof 
shall  mourn  over  it,  and  Hhe  priests 
thereof  that  rejoiced  on  it,  for  the 
glory  thereof,  because  it  is  departed 
from  it.  .. 

6 It  shall  be  also  carried  unto  As- 
syr-i-a  for  a present  to  king  J a-rSb : 
E-phra-im  shall  receive  shame,  and 
Is-ra-6l  shall  be  ashamed  of  his  own 
counsel. 

7 As  for  Sa-ma-ri-a,  her  king  is  cut 
off  as  the  foam  upon  ® the  water. 

8 The  high  places  also  of  A-v6n, 
^’the  sin  of  Is-ra-el,  shall  be  de- 
stroyed : the  thorn  and  the  thistle 
shall  come  up  on  their  altars ; ^ and 
they  shall  say  to  the  mountains, 
Cover  us;  and  to  the  hiUs,  Fall 
on  us. 

9 O Is-ra-el,  thou  hast  sinned  from 
the  days  of  Gib-e-ah : there  they 
stood : the  battle  in  Gib-e-ah  against 
the  children  of  iniquity  did  not 
overtake  them. 

\0  It  is  in  my  desire  that  I should 
chastise  them;  and  ®the  people 
shall  be  gathered  against  them, 
^when  they  shall  bind  themselves 
in  their  two  furrows. 

11  And  E-phra-im  is  as  ’'an  heifer 
that  is  taugnt,  and  loveth  to  tread 
out  the  corn;  but  I passed  over 
upon  ^her  fair  neck:  1 will  make 
E-phra-im  to  ride;  Ju-dah  shall 
plow,  and  Ja^5b  shall  break  his

CHAPTER  11. 

The  ingratitude  of  Israel  v/nto  Oodfor  his  benefits. 

WHEN  Is-ra-6l  was  a child,  then 
I loved  him,  and  ‘’called  my 
‘*son  out  of  E-g^t. 

2 As  they  called  them,  so  they 
went  from  them:  they  sacrificed 
unto  Ba-al-im,  and  burned  incense 
to  graven  images. 

3-^1  taught  E-phra-im  also  to  go, 
taking  them  by  their  arms;  but 
they  knew  not  that  ^ I healed 
them. 

4 I drew  them  with  cords  of  a 
man,  with  bands  of  love:  and 
was  to  them  as  they  that  "^take  off 
the  yoke  on  their  jaws,  and  H laid 
meat  unto  them. 

5 ^ He  shall  not  return  into  the 
land  of  E-gypt,  but  the  As-sjn^-i-an 
shall  be  his  king,  because  they  re- 
fused to  return. 

6 And  the  sword  shall  abide  on 
his  cities,  and  shall  consume  his 
branches,  and  devour  them,  because 
of  their  own  counsels. 

7 And  my  people  are  bent  to 
backsliding  from  me:  though 
they  called  them  to  the  most  High, 
^none  at  all  would  exalt  him. 

8 ”How  shall  I give  thee  up,  E- 
phra-iml  how  shall  I deliver  thee, 
Is-ra-gll  how  shall  I make  thee  as 
"Ad-mah'?  how  shall  I set  thee  as 
Ze-bo-im'?  ^mine  heart  is  turned 
within  me,  my  repentings  are  kin- 
dled together. 

9 I will  not  execute  the  fierceness 
of  mine  anger,  I will  not  return  to 
destroy  E-phra-im : ffor  I am  God, 
and  not  man  ; the  Holy  One  in  the 
midst  of  thee : and  I will  not  enter 
into  the  city.  „ , ^ 

10,  They  shall  walk  after  the  Lord  : 
^he  shall  roar  like  a lion : when  he 
shall  roar,  then  the  children  shall 
tremble  from  the  west.  . 

11  They  shall  tremble  as  a bird 
out  of  E-gjqit,  “and  as  a dove  out  of

the  land  of  As-s:^r-i-a : “and  I will 
place  them  in  tneir  houses,  saith 
the  Lord. 

12  E-phra-im  compasseth  me  abput 
with  lies,  and  the  nouse  of  l§-ra-6l 
with  deceit : but  Ju-dah  yet  ruleth 
with  God,  and  is  faithful  ^with  the 
saints. 

CHAPTER  12. 

^ A reproof  of  Ephraim,  Jvxiah,  and  Jacob. 

Tj^-PHRA-IM  feedeth  on  wind,  and 
Xj  followeth  after  the  east  wind : 
he  daily  increaseth  lies  and  desola- 
tipn  ; *and  they  do  make  a covenant 
with  the  As-syr4-ans,  and  ‘’oil  is 
carried  into  E-gypt. 

2 ‘^The  Lord  bath  also  a contro- 
versy with  Ju-dah,  and  will  ^pun- 
ish Ja^c5b  according  to  his  ways; 
according  to  his  doings  will  he  re- 
coD^ense  him. 

3 He  took  his  brother  ^by  the 
heel  in  the  womb,  and  by  his 
strength  he  ^had®  power  with  God : 

4 Yea,  he  had  power  over  the 
angel,  and  prevailed : he  wept,  and 
made  supplication  unto  him : he 
found  him  in  ^Beth'-el,  and  there 
he  ^ake  with  us ; 

5 Even  the  Lord  God  of  hosts; 
the  Lord  is  his  ” memorial. 

6 ^Therefore  turn  thou  to  thy 
God:  keep  mercy  and  judgment, 
and  ’'wait  on  thy  God  continually. 

7 H He  is  a merchant,  f the  bal- 
ances of  deceit  are  in  his  hand : 
he  loveth  to  ® oppress. 

8 And  E-phra-im  said,  “Yet  I am 
become  ricb,  I have  found  me  out 
substance : ^in  all  my  labours  they 
shall  find  none  iniquity  in  me  ^that 
were  sin. 

9 And  I that  am  the  Lord  thy 
God  from  the  land  of  E-gypt  ^will 
yet  make  thee  to  dwell  in  taber- 
nacles, as  in  the  days  of  the  solemn 
feast. 

10  ‘*1  have  also  spoken  by  the 
prophets,  and  I have  multiplied 
visions,  and  used  similitudes,  ®by 
the  ministry  pf.the  prophets. 

11  /s  there  iniquity  in  Gil-e-adl 
surely  they  are  vanity : they  sacri- 
fice bullocks  in  Gil-gal ; yea,  their 
altars  are  as  heaps  in  the  furrows 
of  the  fields. 

12  And  Ja-e5b  ‘’fled  into  the  coun- 
try of  Syr4-a,  and  Is-ra-Sl  served  for 
a wife,  and  for  a wife  he  kept  sheep. 

13  ‘^And  by  a prophet  the  Lord 
brought  I§-ra-6l  out  of  E^j^pt,  and 
by  a prophet  was  he  preserved. 

1 4 E-phra-im  provoked  him  to 
anger  ® most  bitterly : therefore 
shall  he  leave  his  ^ blood  upon 
him,  -^and  his  reproach  shall  his

CHAPTER  13. 

1 Ephraim's  glory  vanisheth.  5 God’s  anger  far  their 
unkindness.  9 A promise  of  God’s  mercy. 

WHEN  E-phra-im  spake  trem- 
bling, he  exalted  himself  in 
Is-ra-el ; but  when  he  offended  in 
Ba-al,  he  died. 

2 And  now  ^they  sin  more  and 
more,  and  have  made  them  molten 
images  of  their  silver,  and  idols 
according  to  their  own  understand- 
ing, all  of  it  the  work  of  the  crafts- 
men: they  say  of  them,  Let  ^the 
men  that  sacrifice  kiss  the  calves. 
3 Therefore  they  shall  be  as  the 
morning  cloud,  and  as  the  early 
dew  that  passeth  away,  ^as  the 
chaff  that  is  driven  with  the  whirl- 
wind out  of  the  floor,  and  as  the 
smoke  out  of  the  chimney. 

4 Yet  •’'I  am  the  Lord  thy  God 
from  the  land  of  E-gypt,  and  thou 
shalt  know  no  god  but  me : for 
Hhere  is  no  saviour  beside  me. 

5 U did  know  thee  in  the  wilder- 
ness, 4n  the  land  of  ® great  drought. 
6 According  to  their  pasture,  so 
were  they  filled;  they  were  filled, 
and  their  heart  was  exalted ; there- 
fore have  they  forgotten  me. 

7 Therefore  ‘’I  will  be  unto  them 
as  a lion : as  ^a  leopard  by  the  way 
will  I observe  them : 

8 I will  meet  them  ®as  a bear  that 
is  bereaved  of  her  whelps,  and  will 
rend  the  caul  of  their  heart,  and 
there  will  I devour  them  like  a lion  ,* 
^the  wild  beast  shall  tear  them. 

9  H O Is-ra-6l,  thou  hast  destroyed 
thyself ; but  in  me  "^is  thine  help. 

10  will  be  thy  king:  * where  is 
any  other  that  may  save  thee  in 
all  thy  cities  and  thy  judges  of 
whom  Hhou  saidst.  Give  me  a king 
and  princes  % 

111  gave  thee  a king  in  mine 
anger,  and  took  him  away  in  my 
wrath. 

12  *The  iniquity  of  E-phra-im  is 
bound  up ; his  sin  is  hid. 

13  The  sorrows  of  a travailing 
woman  shall  come  upon  him:  he 
is  an  unwise  son;  for  he  should 
not  stey  ®long  in  the  place  of  the 
breaking  forth  of  children. 

14  1 will  ransom  them  from  '^the 
power  of  the  grave ; 1 will  redeem 
them  from  death : O death,  1 will 
be  thy  plagues ; O grave,  1 will  be 
thy  destruction : ^repentance  shall 
be  hid  from  mine  eyes. 

15  ^ Though  he  be  fruitful  among 
his  brethren,  an  east  wind  shall 
come,  the  wind  of  the  Lord  shall 
come  up  from  the  wilderness,  and 
his  spring  shall  become  dry,  and 
his  fountain  shall  be  dried  up ; he 


shall  spoil  the  treasure  of  all  ^pleas- 
ant vessels. 

16  ‘^Sa-ma-ri-a  shall  become  deso- 
late ; for  she  hath  rebelled  against 
her  God:  they  shall  fall  by  the 
sword : their  infants  shall  be  dashed 
in  pieces,  and  their  women  with 
child  shall  be  ripped  up.

2  Take  with  you  words,  and  turn

dod' s judgment  upon  Syria,  the  Philistines,  &c. 

The  words  of  A-m5s,  who  was 
among  the  herdmen  of  *'Te-ko-a, 
which  he  saw  concerning  l§-ra-6l  in 
the  days  of  TTz-zi-ah  king  of  Ju-dah, 
and  in  the  days  of  ®J6r-5-bo-am  the 
son  of  Jo-ash  king  of  Is-ra-gl,  two 
years  before  the  **  earthquake. 

2  And  he  said.  The  Lord  will  ®roar 
from  Zi-On,  and  utter  his  voice  from 
Je-ru-sa-l6m ; and  the  habitations 
of  the  shepherds  shall  mourn,  and 
the  top  of  ^Car-mel  shall  wither. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; For  three 
transgressions  of  '^Da-mas-ctis,  ^and 
for  four,  I will  not  ^ turn  away  the 
punishment  thereof;  because  they 
nave  threshed  Gil-e-ad  with  thresh- 
ing instruments  of  iron : 

4  *But  I will  send  a fire  into  the 
house  of  Haz-a-el,  which  shall  de- 
vour the  palaces  of  Ben-ha-dad. 

5  I will  break  also  the  ""bar  of  Da- 
mas-cus,  and  cut  off  the  inhabitant 
from  ®the  plain  of  A-v6n,  and  him 
that  holdeth  the  sceptre  from  ’the 
house  of  E-den : and  the  people  of 
Syr-i-a  shall  go  into  captivity  unto 
Kir,  saith  the  Lord. 

6  II  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; For 
three  transgressions  of  ^Ga-za,  and 
for  four,  I will  not  turn  away  the 
punishment  thereof;  because  they 
® carried  away  captive  the  Avhole 
captivity,  to  deliver  them  up  to 
E-d^5m : 

7  "■  But  I will  send  a fire  on  the 
wall  of  Ga-za,  which  shall  devour 
the  palaces  thereof :

4 II  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; For

8 And  they  lay  themselves  down

of  ''the  condemned  in  the  house  of

9 H Yet  destroyed  I the  ’‘Am-dr-ite

the  height  of  the  cedars,  and  he  was

CHAPTER  3. 

The  necessity  of  God’s  judgment  against  Israel. 

Hear  this  word  that  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  against  you,  O chil- 
dren of  IsYa-el,  against  the  whole 
family  which  I brought  up  from  the 
land  of  E-gypt,  saying, 

2  ‘'You  only  have  I known  of  all 
the  families  of  the  earth:  •''therefore 
I will  ^punish  you  for  all  your  in- 
iquities. 

3  Can  two  walk  together,  except 
they  be  agreed"? 

4  Will  a lion  roar  in  the  forest, 
when  he  hath  no  prey  ? will  a 
young  lion  ®cry  out  of  his  den,  if 
he  have  taken  nothing"? 

5  Can  a bird  fall  in  a snare  upon 
the  earth,  where  no  gin  is  for  him  % 
shall  one  take  up  a snare  from  the 
earth,  and  have  taken  nothing  at 
all"? 

6  Shall  a trumpet  be  blown  in  the 
city,  and  the  people  ^not  be  afraid"? 
"‘shall  there  be  evil  in  a city,  ®and 
the  Lord  hath  not  done  it  ? 

7  Surely  the  Lord  God  will  do 
nothing,  but  «he  revealeth  his  secret 
unto  his  servants  the  prophets. 

8  The  lion  hath  roared,  who  will 
not  fear?  the  Lord  God  hath  spoken, 

* who  can  but  prophesy  ? 

9  ^ Publish  in  the  palaces  at  Ash- 
d5d,  and  in  the  palaces  in  the  land 
of  E-gypt,  and  say.  Assemble  your- 
selves upon  the  mountains  of  Sa- 
maYi-a,  and  behold  the  great  tu- 
mults in  the  midst  thereof,  and  the 
® oppressed  in  the  midst  thereof. 

10  For  they  '‘know  not  to  do  right, 
saith  the  Lord,  who  store  up  vio- 
lence and  ^robbery  in  their  palaces. 

11  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ; An  adversary  there  shall  be 
even  round  about  the  land ; and 
he  shall  bring  down  thy  strength 
from  thee,  and  thy  palaces  shall  be 
spoiled.  ^ , 

12  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  As  the 
shepherd  ^ taketh  out  of  the  mouth 
of  the  lion  two  legs,  or  a piece  of 
an  ear ; so  shall  the  children  of 
Is-ra-6l  be  taken  out  that  dwell  in 
S’a-maYi-a  in  the  corner  of  a bed, 
and  ^in  DS,-mas-cus  in  a couch. 

13  Hear  ye,  and  testify  in  the 
house  of  Ja-e5b,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
the  God  of  hosts,  ^ -r  i n 

14  That  in  the  day  that  I shall 
® visit  the  transgressions  of  I§-ra-61 
upon  him  I will  also  visit  the  altars 


Israel  is  reproved  for  AMOS,  4,  5.  oppression,  idolatry,  etc. 


of  B6th'-6l : and  the  horns  of  the 
altar  shall  be  cut  off,  and  fall  to  the 
ground. 

15  And  I will  smite  “the  winter 
house  with  *the  summer  house ; and 
the  houses  of  ivory  shall  perish,  and 
the  great  houses  shall  have  an  end, 
saith  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  4. 

1 He  reproveth  Israel  for  oppression,  4 for  idolatry, 

6 and  for  their  incorrigibleness. 

Hear  this  word,  ye  ‘^kine  of  Ba- 
shan,  that  are  iw  the  mountain 
of  Sa-ma-ri-a,  which  oppress  the 
poor,  which  crush  the  needy,  which 
say  to  their  masters,  Bring,  and  let 
us  drink. 

2  ^The  Lord  God  hath  sworn  by 
his  holiness,  that,  lo,  the  days  shall 
come  upon  you,  that  he  will  take 
you  away  ^with  hooks,  and  your 
posterity  with  fishhooks. 

3  And  ' ye  shall  go  out  at  the 
breaches,  every  cow  at  that  which  is 
before  her ; and  ^ye  shall  cast  them 
into  the  palace,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  51  ” Come  to  Beth'-el,  and  trans- 
gress ; at  "Gil-gal  multiply  trans- 
gression ; and  bring  your  sacrifices 
every  morning,  and  your  tithes 
after  ^ three  years: 

5  f And  ^ofier  a sacrifice  of  thanks- 
giving with  leaven,  and  proclaim 
and  publish  ®the  free  offerings  : for 
Hhis  liketh  you,  O ye  children  of 
Is-ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

6  U And  I also  have  given  you 
cleanness  of  teeth  in  all  your  cities, 
and  want  of  bread  in  all  your  places : 
*yet  have  ye  not  returned  unto  me, 
saith  the  Lord. 

And  also  I have  withholden  the 
rain  from  you,  when  there  were  yet 
three  months  to  the  harvest : and  I 
caused  it  to  rain  upon  one  city,  and 
caused  it  not  to  rain  upon  another 
city:  one  piece  was  rained  upon, 
and  the  piece  whereupon  it  rained 
not  withered. 

8 So  two  or  three  cities  wandered 
unto  one  city,  to  drink  water ; but 
they  were  not  satisfied:  yet  have 
ye  not  returned  unto  me,  saith  the 
Lord. 

^ 9 *'1  have  smitten  you  with  blast- 
ing and  mildew:  ®when  your  gar- 
dens and  your  vineyards  and  your 
fig  trees  and  your  olive  trees  in- 
creased, ^the  palmerworm  devoured 
them : yet  have  ye  not  returned 
unto  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

10  I have  sent  among  you  the 
pestilence  ^ after®  the  manner  of 
E-gypt : your  young  men  have  I 
slain  with  the  sword,  ®and  have 
taken  away  your  horses ; and  I have  I

CHAPTER  5. 

1 A lamentation.  4 An  exhortation  to  repentance. 

Hear  ye  this  word  which  I ^take 
up  against  you,  even  a lamenta- 
tion, 0 house  of  Is-ra-el. 

2  The  virgin  of  Is^ra-el  is  fallen; 
she  shall  no  more  rise ; she  is  for- 
saken upon  her  land  ; there  is  none 
to  raise  her  up. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
The  city  that  went  out  by  a thou- 
sand shall  leave  an  hundred,  and 
that  which  went  forth  by  an  hun- 
dred shall  leave  ten,  to  the  house  of 
Is-ra-el. 

4  H For  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto 
the  house  of  Is-ra-el,  Seek  ye  me, 
*and  ye  shall  live  : 

5  But  seek  not  “B6th'-6l,  nor  enter 
into  Gil-gal,  and  pass  not  to  "'Be-er- 
she-ba : for  Gil-gal  shall  surely  go 
into  captivity,  and  ^'Bgth-gl  shall 
come  to  nought. 

6  Seek  the  Lord,  and  ye  shall 
live  •,  lest  he  break  out  like  fire  in 
the  house  of  Jo%6ph,  and  devour 
it,  and  there  be  none  to  quench  it 
in  B6th'-el. 

7  Ye  who  *turn  judgment  to  worm- 
wood, and  leave  off  righteousness 
in  the  earth, 

8  Seek  him  that  maketh  the  “seven 
stars  and  0-rI-Onj  and  turneth  the 
shadow  of  death  into  the  morning, 
‘^and  maketh  the  day  dark  with 
night : that  ‘^calleth  for  the  waters 
of  the  sea,  and  poureth  them  out 
upon  the  face  of  the  earth : -^The 
Lord  is  his  name : 

9  That  strengtheneth  the  “^spoiled 
against  the  strong,  so  that  the  spoiled 
shall  come  against  the  fortress. 

10  '"They  hate  him  that  rebuketh 
in  the  gate,  and  they  * abhor  him 
that  speaketh  uprightly. 


Exhortation  to  repentance. 


AMOS,  6. 


The  wantonness  of  Israel. 


11  Forasmuch  therefore  as  your 
treading  is  upon  the  poor,  and  ye 
take  from  him  burdens  of  wheat: 
®ye  have  built  houses  of  hewn 
stone,  but  ye  shall  not  dwell  in 
them ; ye  have  planted  ^ pleasant 
vineyards,  but  ye  shall  not  drink 
wine  of  them. 

12  For  I know  your  manifold 
transgressions  and  your  mighty 
sins:  thejr  afflict  the  just,  they 
take  ^a  bribe,  and  they  ®turn  aside 
the  poor  in  the  gate  from  their 
right. 

13  Therefore  the  prudent  shall 
keep  silence  in  that  time ; for  it  is 
an  evil  time. 

14  Seek  good,  and  not  evil,  that 
ye  may  live : and  so  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  hosts,  shall  be  with  you,  ’^as 
ye  have  spoken. 

15  ”Hate  the  evil,  and  love  the 
good,  and  establish  judgment  in 
the  gate : *it  may  be  that  the  Lord 
God  of  hosts  will  be  gracious  unto 
the  remnant  of  J o-s^h. 

16  Therefore  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  hosts,  the  Lord,  saith  thus ; Wail- 
ing shall  he  in  all  streets  ; and  they 
shall  say  in  all  the  highways,  Alas  ! 
alas ! and  they  shall  call  the  hus- 
bandman to  mourning,  and  “such 
as  are  skilful  of  lamentation  to 
wailing. 

17  And  in  all  vineyards  shall  he 
wailing:  for  will  pass  through 
thee,  saith  the  Lord. 

18  “Woe  unto  you  that  desire  the 
day  of  the  Lord  ! to  what  end  is  it 
for  youl  ^the  day  of  the  Lord  is 
darkness,  and  not  light. 

19  ‘^As  if  a man  did  flee  from  a 
lion,  and  a bear  met  him ; or  went 
into  the  house,  and  leaned  his  hand 
on  the  wall,  and  a serpent  bit  him. 

20  Shall  not  the  day  of  the  Lord 
he  darkness,  and  not  light  1 even 
very  dark,  and  no  brightness  in  it? 

21  H •''I  hate,  I despise  your  feast 
days,  and  will  not  ^smell  in  your 
solemn  assemblies. 

22  ^Though  ye  offer  me  burnt 
offerings  and  your  meat  offerings, 
I will  not  accept  them:  neither  will 
I regard  the  ^ peace  offerings  of  your 
fat  beasts. 

23  Take  thou  away  from  me  the 
noise  of  thy  songs;  for  I will  not 
hear  the  melody  of  thy  viols. 

24  ^But  let  jud^ent  ®run  down 
as  waters,  and  righteousness  as  a 
mighty  stream. 

25  "Have  ye  offered  unto  me  sacri- 
fices and  offerings  in  the  wilderness 
forty  years,  O house  of  Is-ra-6l  ? 

26  But  ye  have  borne  Hhe  taber-

CHAPTER  6. 

1 The  wantonness  of  Israel,  7 shall  be  plagued  with 
desolation,  12  and  their  incom-igibleness. 

WOE  **  to  them  that  are  at  ease 
in  Zi-6n,  and  trust  in  the 
mountain  of  Sa-ma-ri-a,  which  are 
named  chiefs  of  the  nations,  to 
whom  the  house  of  Is-ra-6l  came ! 

2  ^Pass  ye  unto  ^-Cal-ngh,  and  see ; 
and  from  thence  go  ye  to  * Ha-math 
the  great:  then  go  down  to  *Gath 
of  the  Phi-lis-tines : ^he  they  better 
than  these  kingdoms?  or  their  bor- 
der greater  than  your  border  ? 

3  Ye  that  "put  far  away  the  ^’eyil 
day,  ®and  cause  ^the  “seat  of  vio- 
lence to  come  near; 

4  That  lie  upon  beds  of  ivory, 
and  “stretch  themselves  upon  their 
couches,  and  eat  the  lambs  out  of 
the  flock,  and  the  calves  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  stall ; 

5  ^Thato  chant  to  the  sound  of 
the  viol,  and  invent  to  them- 
selves  instruments  of  musick,  *lik6 
Da-vid ; ^ 

6  That  drink  “wine  in  bowls,  and 
anoint  themselves  with  the  chief 
ointments:  tout  they  are  not  grieved 
for  the  ^affliction  of  Jo-§6ph. 

7  U Therefore  now  shall  they  go 
captive  with  the  first  that  go  cap- 
tive, and  the  banquet  of  them  that 
stretched  themselves  shall  be  re- 
moved. 

8  ‘*The  Lord  God  hath  sworn  by 
himself,  saith  the  Lord  the  God  of 
hosts,  1 abhor  "the  excellency  of 
Jato5b,  and  hate  his  palaces:  there- 
fore will  I deliver  up  the  city  with 
all  Hhat  is  therein. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if 
there  remain  ten  men  in  one  house, 
that  they  shall  die. 

10  And  a man’s  uncle  shall  take 
him  up,  and  he  that  burneth  him, 
to  bring  out  the  bones  out  of  the 
house,  and  shall  say  unto  him  that 
is  by  the  sides  of  the  house,  Is  there 
yet  any  with  thee?  and  he  shall  say. 
No.  Then  shall  he  say,  *Hold  thy 
tongue:  *for  ^we  may  not  make 
mention  of  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

11  For,  behold,  “‘the  Lord  com- 
mandeth,  “and  he  will  smite  the 
great  house  with  “breaches,  and 
toe  little  house  with  clefts.

oxen?  for  «ye  have  turned  judg-

13  Ye  which  rejoice  in  a thing 
of  nought,  which  say.  Have  we 
not  taken  to  us  horns  by  our  own 
strength  1 

14  But,  behold,  “I  will  raise  up 
against  you  a nation,  O house  of 
I§-ra-el,  saith  the  Loed  the  God  of 
hosts ; and  they  shall  afflict  you 
from  the  entering  in  of  He-math 
unto  the  ^ river  of  the  wilderness. 

CHAPTEB  7. 

1 Th^  judgments  of  tlie  grasshoppers,  4 and,  of  the  dre, 
are  diverted  by  the  prayer  of  Amos.  7 By  the  wall  cf 
a plumbline  is  signified  the  rejection  of  Israel.  10  Ama- 
ziah  complaineth  of  Amos.  14  Amos  sheweth  his  calling, 
16  and  Amaziah’ s judgment. 

Thus  hath  the  Lord  God  shewed 
unto  me ; and,  behold,  he  formed 
^grasshoppers  in  the  beginning  of 
the  shooting  up  of  the  latter  growth ; 
and,  lo,  it  was  the  latter  growth 
after  the  king’s  mowings. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
they  had  made  an  end.  of  eating 
the  grass  of  the  land,  then  I said,  O 
Lord  God,  forgive,  I beseech  thee : 
*byj  whom  shall  Ja^Cb  arise"?  for 
he  is  small. 

3  *The  Lord  repented  for  this:  It 
shall  not  be,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  H Thus  hath  the  Lord  God  shewed 
unto  me:  and,  behold,  the  Lord  God 
called  to  contend  by  fire,  and  it  de- 
voured the  great  deep,  and  did  eat 
up  a part. 

5  Then  said  I,  O Lord  God,  cease, 
1 beseech  thee : ""by  whom  shall  Ja- 
•e5b  arise  1 for  he  is  small. 

6  The  Lord  repented  for  this : This 
also  shall  not  be,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

7  H Thus  he  shewed  me : and,  be- 
hold, the  Lord  stood  upon  a wall 
nuule  by  a plumbline,  witn  a plumb- 
line  in  his  hand. 

_8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
A-m5s.  what  seest  thou"?  And  I 
said,  A plumbline.  Then  said  the 
Lord,  Behold,  *1  will  set  a plumb- 
line  in  the  midst  of  my  people  1§- 
ra-6l : H will  not  again  pass  by  them 
any  more : 

9  “And  the  high  places  of  I-§aac 
shall  be  desolate,  and  the  sanctu- 
aries of  I^-ra-6l  shall  be  laid  waste ; 
and  H will  rise  against  the  house 
of  J6r-(5-bo-am  with  the  sword. 

10  ^ Then  Am-a-zl^ah  “the  priest 
of  B6th'-6l  sent  to  JSr-6-bo-am  king 
of  l§-ra-6l,  saying,  A-m5s  hath  con- 
spired against  thee  in  the  midst  of 
the  house  of  Is-rAgl : the  land  is  not 
able  to  bear  all  his  words. 

11  For  thus  A-mOs  saith,  J6r-5- 
bo-am  shall  die  by  the  sword,  and

said  to  Am-a-zi-ah,  I was  no  pro- 
phet, neither  was  I ®a  prophet’s 
son ; -^but  I tvas  an  herdman,  and 
a gatherer  of  ^sycomore  fruit : 

15  And  the  Lord  took  me  ®as  I 
followed  the  flock,  and  the  Lord 
said  unto  me.  Go,  prophesy  unto 
my  people  Is-ra-el. 

16^  Now  therefore  hear  thou  the 
word  of  the  Lord:  Thou  sayest. 
Prophesy  not  against  I§-ra-6l,  and 
^drop  not  thy  word  against  the 
house  of  I-saac. 

1 7 ^Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
*Thy  wife  shall  be  an  harlot  in  the 
city,  and  thy  sons  and  thy  daugh- 
ters shall  fall  by  the  sword,  and 
thy  land  shall  be  divided  by  line : 
and  thou  shalt  die  in  a pollutea 
land:  and  I§-ra-el  shall  surely  go 
into  captivity  forth  of  his  land. 

CHAPTER  8. 

1 Israel's  end.  11  A famine  of  the  word. 

Thus  hath  the  Lord  God  shewed 
unto  me : and  behold  a basket 
of  summer  fruit.  _ 

2 And  he  said,  A-m5s,  what  seest 
thou"?  And  I said,  A basket  of  sum- 
mer fruit.  Then  said  the  Lord  un- 
to me,  “The  end  is  come  upon  my 
people  of  Is-ra-el ; "I  will  not  again 
pass  by  them  any  more. 

3 And  ^the  songs  of  the  temple 
® shall  be  bowlings  in  that  day,  saith 
the  Lord  God  : there  shall  be  many 
dead  bodies  in  every  place ; ^ they 
shall  cast  them  forth  ®with  silence. 
4 U Hear  this,  O ye  that  ’’swallow 
up  the  needy,  even  to  make  the 
poor  of  the  land  to  fail, 

5 Saying,  When  will  the  ^new  moon 
be  gone,  that  we  may  sell  corn"? 
and  *the  sabbath,  that  we  may  ‘“^set 
forth  wheat,  ^making  the  e-phah 
small,  and  the  shek-6l  great,  and 
^falsifying  the  balances  by  deceit"? 
6 That  we  may  buv  the  poor  for 
* silver,  and  the  needy  for  a pair  of 
shoes  • yea.  and  sell  the  refuse  of 
the  wheat"? 

7 The  Lord  hath  sworn  by  ‘^the 
excellency  of  Ja-c5b,  Surely  H will 
never  forget  any  of  their  works.

dwelleth  therein'?  and  it  shall  rise 
up  wholly  as  a flood ; and  it  shall 
be  cast  out  and  drowned,  “as  by  the 
flood  of  E%ypt. 

9 And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that 
day,  saith  the  Lord  God,  ®that  I will 
cause  the  sun  to  go  down  at  noon, 
and  I will  darken  the  earth  in  the 
clear  day : 

10  And  I will  turn  your  feasts  into 
mourning,  and  all  your  songs  into 
lamentation ; -^and  I will  bring  up 
sackcloth  upon  all  loins,  and  bald- 
ness upon  every  head ; ^ and  I will 
make  it  as  the  mourning  of  an  only 
son,  and  the  end  thereof  as  a bitter 
day. 

1 1 IT  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  that  I will  send  a 
famine  in  the  land,  not  a famine  of 
bread,  nor  a thirst  for  water,  but 
*of  hearing  the  words  of  the  Lord  : 

1 2 And  they  shall  wander  from  sea 
to  sea,  and  from  the  north  even  to 
the  east,  they  shall  run  to  and  fro 
to  seek  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and 
shall  not  find  it. 

1 3 In  that  day  shall  the  fair  virgins 
and  young  men  faint  for  thirst. 

14  They  that  "'swear  by  ”the  sin  of 
Sa-ma-ri-a,  and  say.  Thy  god,  O Dan, 
liveth ; and.  The® manner  “of  Be-er- 
she-ba  liveth ; even  they  shall  fall, 
and  never  rise  up  again. 

CHAPTEB  9. 

1 The  certainty  of  the  desolation.  11  The  restoring  of 
the  tabernacle  of  David. 

I  SAW  the  Lord  standing  upon 
the  altar : and  he  said.  Smite 
the  ® lintel  of  the  door,  that  the 
posts  may  shake : and  " cut  ® them 
in  the  head,  all  of  them  ; and  I will 
slay  the  last  of  them  with  the 
sword  : “he  that  fleeth  of  them  shall 
not  flee  away,  and  he  that  escapeth 
of  them  shall  not  be  delivered. 

2  ^Though  they  dig  into  hell,  thence 
shall  mine  hand  take  them ; though 
thejr  climb  up  to  heaven,  thence  will 
I bring  them  down  : 

3  And  though  th^  hide  them- 
selves in  the  top  of  -Gar-mel,  I will 
search  and  take  them  out  thence ; 
and  though  they  be  hid  from  my 
sight  in  the  bottom  of  the  sea, 
thence  will  I command  the  serpent, 
and  he  shall  bite  them : 

4  And  though  they  go  into  cap- 
tivity before  their  enemies,  “thence 
will  I command  the  sword,  and  it 
shall  slay  them : and  “ I will  set 
mine  eyes  upon  them  for  evil,  and 
not  for  good. 


5 And  the  Lord  God  of  hosts  is  he 
that  toucheth  the  land,  and  it  shall 
*melt,  and  all  that  dwell  therein 
shall  mourn : and  it  shall  rise  up 
wholly  like  a flood;  and  shall  be 
drowned,  as  by  the  flood  of  E- 
gypt.^ 

6 It  is  he  that  buildeth  his** stories 
in  the  heaven,  and  hath  founded  his 
^ troop  in  the  earth  ; he  that  “calleth 
for  the  waters  of  the  sea,  and  pour- 
eth  them  out  upon  the  race  of  the 
earth : The  Lord  is  his  name. 

7 Are  ye  not  as  children  of  the 
E-thi-o-pi-ans  unto  me,  O children 
of  Is-ra-el  % saith  the  Lord.  Have 
not  1 brought  up  Is-ra-el  out  of  the 
land  of  E-gypt'?  and  the  ^'Phi-lis- 
tines  from  ‘-Gaph-tdr,  and  the 
i-ans  from  Kir  f 

8 Behold,  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  God 
are  upon  the  sinful  kingdom,  and 
I ^will  destroy  it  from  off  the  face 
of  the  earth ; saving  that  I will  not 
utterly  destroy  the  house  of  J a^5b, 
saith  the  Lord. 

9 For,  lo,  I will  command,  and  I 
will  ^sift  the  house  of  Is-ra-el  among 
all  nations,  like  as  corn  is  sifted  in 
a sieve,  yet  shall  not  the  least  ®grain 
fall  upon  the  earth. 

10  All  the  sinners  of  my^  people 
shall  die  by  the  sword,  ^whicn  say. 
The  evil  shall  not  overtake  nor  pre- 
vent us. 

1 1 ^ ® In  that  day  will  I raise  up 
the  tabernacle  of  Da-vid  that  is 
fallen,  and  close  up  the  breaches 
thereof;  and  I will  raise  up  his 
ruins,  and  I will  build  it  as  in  the 
days  of  old : 

12  * That  they  may  possess  the  rem- 
nant of  * E-d5m,  and  of  all  the  hea- 
then, ^ which  are  called  by  my  name, 
saith  the  Lord  that  doeth  this. 

1 3 Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the 
Lord,  that  the  plowman  shall  over- 
take the  reaper,  and  the  treader 
of  grapes  him  that  ^soweth  seed ; 
*and  the  mountains  shall  drop 
® sweet  wine,  and  all  the  hills  shall 
melt. 

14  “And  I will  bring  again  the  cap- 
tivity of  my  people  of  I§-ra-el,  and 
Hhey  shall  build  the  waste  cities, 
and  inhabit  them;  and  they  shall 
plant  vineyards,  and  drink  the  wine 
thereof ; they  shall  also  make  gar- 
dens, and  eat  the  fruit  of  them. 

15  And  I will  plant  them  upon 
their  land,  and  ‘^they  shall  no  mpre 
be  pulled  up  out  of  their  land  which 
I have  given  them,  saith  the  Lord 
thy  God.

2 Behold,  I have  made  thee  small 
among  the  heathen : thou  art  greatly 
despised. 

3 II  The  pride  of  thine  heart  hath 
deceived  thee,  thou  that  dwellest 
in  the  clefts  ‘^of  the  rock,  whose 
habitation  is  high ; ^ that  saith  in 
his  heart.  Who  shall  bring  me 
down  to  the  ground"? 

4 -^Though  thou  exalt  thyself  the 
eagle,  and  though  thou  ^set  thy 
nest  among  the  stars,  thence  will  I 
bring  thee  down,  saith  the  Loed. 

5 If  * thieves  came  to  thee,  if  rob- 
bers by  night,  (how  art  thou  cut 
off!)  would  they  not  have  stolen 
till  they  had  enough "?  if  the  grape- 
gatherers  came  to  thee,  ""would  they 
not  leave  ^ some  grapes  % 

6 How  are  the  things  of  E-sau 
searched  out  I how  are  his  hidden 
things  sought  up ! 

7 All  the  men  of  thy  confederacy 
have  brought  thee  even  to  the  bor- 
der : ® the  ® men  that  were  at  peace 
with  thee  have  deceived  thee,  and 
prevailed  against  thee;  ^they  that 
eat  thy  bread  have  laid  a wound 
under  thee : there  is  none  under- 
standing Gn  him. 

8 Shall  I not  in  that  day,  saith 
the  Loed,  even  destroy  the  wise 
men  out  of  E-ddm,  and  understand- 
ing out  of  the  m9unt  of  E-sau  % 

9 And  thy  "mighty  men,  O *Te- 
man,  shall  be  dismayed,  to  the  end 
that  every  one  of  the  mount  of 
E-sau  may  be  cut  off  by  slaughter. 

10  ^ For  thy  “violence  against  thy 
brother  Ja-eOb  shame  shall  cover 
thee,  and  * thou  shalt  be  cut  off  for 
ever. 

11  In  the  day  that  thou  stoodest 
on  the  other  side,  in  the  day  that 
the  strangers  ^carried  away  captive 
hLs  forces,  and  foreigners  entered 
his  gates,  and  ^cast  lots  upon 
Je-ru-sa-l6m,  even  thou  wast  as  one 
of  them. 

12  But  ^thou  shouldest  not  have 
looked  on  the  day  of  thy  brother  in 
the  day  that  he  became  a stranger ;

JO^NAH 


CHAPTER  1. 

Jonah,  fleeing  to  Tarshish,  is  cast  into  the  sea. 

OW  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
1\  unto  ^ Jo-nah  the  son  of  A-mit- 
tai,  saying, 

2 Arise,  go  to  Nin-e-veh,  that 
* great  city,  and  crj  against  it ; for 
‘'their  wickedness  is  come  up  be- 
fore me. 

3 But  Jo-nah  rose  up  to  flee  unto 
Tar-shish  from  the  presence  of  the 
Lord,  and  went  down  to  ‘^JOp-pa ; 
and  he  found  a ship  going  to  Tar- 
shish : so  he  paid  the  fare  thereof, 
and  went  down  into  it,  to  go  with 
them  unto  Tar-shish -^from  the  pres- 
ence of  the  Lord. 

4 U But  '‘the  Lord  ^sent  out  a great 
wind  into  the  sea,  and  there  was  a 
mighty  tempest  in  the  sea,  so  that 
the  ship  was  like  to  be  broken. 

5 Then  the  mariners  were  afraid, 
and  cried  every  man  unto  his  god, 
and  cast  forth  the  wares  that  tvere 
in  the  ship  into  the  sea,  to  lighten 
it  of  them.  But  Jo-nah  was  gone 
down  'into  the  sides  of  the  ship; 
and  he  lay,  and  was  fast  asleep. 

6 So  the  shipmaster  came  to  him, 
and  said  unto  him.  What  meanest 
thou,  O sleeper'?  arise,  call  upon 
thy  God,  ”‘if  so  be  that  God  will 
think  upon  us,  that  we  perish  not. 

7 And  they  said  every  one  to  his 
fellow.  Come,  and  let  us  ^ cast  lots, 
that  we  may  know  for  whose  cause 
this  evil  is  upon  us.  So  they  cast 
lots,  and  the  lot  fell  upon  Jo-nah. 

8 Then  said  they  unto  him,  ^Tell 
us,  we  pray  thee,  for  whose  cause 
this  evil  is  upon  us  ; What  is  thine 
occupation  ^ and  whence  comest 
thou  ? what  is  thy  country  1 and  of 
what  people  art  thou '? 

9_  An^he  said  unto  them,  I am  an 
H e-brew ; and  I fear  ^ the  Lord,  the 
God  of  heaven,  ‘‘which  hath  made 
the  sea  and  the  dry  land. 

10  Then  were  the  men  ^exceed- 
ingly afraid,  and  said  unto  him. 
Why  hast  thou  done  this'?  For 
the  men  knew  that  he  fled  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lord,  because 
he  had  told  them. 

11  H Then  said  they  unto  him, 
What  shall  we  do  unto  thee,  that 
the  sea  ®may  be  calm  unto  us "?  for 
the  sea  wrought,  and  was  tem- 
pestuous. 

12  And  he  said  unto  them,  ^Take 
me  up,  and  cast  me  forth  into  the

sea ; so  shall  the  sea  be  calm  unto 
you : for  I know  that  for  my  sake 
this  great  tempest  is  upon  you. 

13  Nevertheless  the  men  ^rowed 
hard  to  bring  it  to  the  land ; “but 
they  could  not : for  the  sea  wrought, 
and  was  tempestuous  against  them. 

14  Wherefore  they  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said.  We  beseech  thee, 
O Lord,  we  beseech  thee,  let  us 
not  perish  for  this  man’s  life,  and 
®lay  not  irpon  us  innocent  blood: 
for  thou,  O Lord,  hast  done  as  it 
pleased  thee. 

15  So  they  took  up  Jo-nah,  and 
cast  him  forth  into  the  sea: /and 
the  sea  ® ceased  from  her  raging. 

16  Then  the  men  ‘feared  the 
Lord  exceedingly,  and  ® offered  a 
sacrifice  unto  the  Lord,  and  made 
vows. 

17  U Now  the  Lord  had  prepared 
a great  fish  to  swallow  up  J o-nah. 
And  * Jo-nah  was  in  the  belly  of  the 
fish  three  days  and  three  nights. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Prayer  of  Jonah.  10  He  is  delivered  from  the  fish. 

Then  Jo-nah  prayed  unto  the 
Lord  his  God  out  of  the  fish’s 
belly, 

2  And  said,  I “cried  ®by  reason 
of  mine  affliction  unto  the  Lord, 
“and  he  heard  me ; out  of  the  belly 
of  ®hell  cried  I,  and  thou  heardest 
my  voice. 

3  «For  thou  hadst  cast  me  into  the 
deep,  in  the  ^ midst  of  the  seas ; and 
the  floods  compassed  me  about : all 
thy  billows  and  thy  waves  passed 
over  me. 

4  Then  I said,  I am  cast  out  of  thy 
sight;  yet  I will  look  again  Howard 
thy  holy  temple. 

5  The  'waters  compassed  me  a- 
bout,  even  to  the  soul : the  depth 
closed  me  round  about,  the  weeds 
were  wrapped  about  my  head. 

6  I went  down  to  the  ^bottoms  of 
the  mountains ; the  earth  with  her 
bars  was  about  me  for  ever:  yet 
hast  thou  brought  up  my  life  "'from 
® corruption,  O Lord  my  God. 

7  When  my  soul  fainted  within 
me  I remembered  the  Lord  : and 
my  prayer  came  in  unto  thee,  into 
thine  holy  temple. 

8  They  that  observe  ^'lying  vani- 
ties forsake  their  own  mercy. 

9  But  I will  “sacrifice  unto  thee 
with  the  voice  of  thanksgiving ; I 


Jonah  preacheth 


MICAH,  1. 


to  the  Ninevites, 


will  pay  that  that  I have  vowed. 
“Salvation  is  of  the  Lord. 

10  H And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
the  fish,  and  it  vomited  out  J o-nah 
upon  the  dry  land. 

CHAPTER  3. 

1 Jonah,  sent  again,  preacheth  to  the  Ninevites.  5 Upon 
their  repentance,  JO  God  repenteth. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  Jo-nah  the  second  time, 
saying, 

2 Arise,  go  unto  Nin-6-veh,  that 
great  city,  and  preach  unto  it  the 
preaching  that  1 bid  thee. 

3 So  Jo-nah  arose,  and  went  unto 
Nin-e-veh,  according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord.  Now  Nin-6-veh  was  an 
^exceeding  great  city  of  three  days’ 
journey. 

4 And  Jo-nah  began  to  enter  into 
the  city  a day’s  journey,  and  he 
cried,  and  said.  Yet  forty  days,  and 
Nin-6-veh  shall  be  overthrown. 

5 ^ So  the  people  of  Nin-g-veh 
believed  God,  and  proclaimed  a 

fast,  and  put  on  sackcloth,  from  the 
greatest  of  them  even  to  the  least 
of  them. 

6 For  v/ord  came  unto  the  king  of 
Nin-e-v6h,  and  he  arose  from  his 
throne,  and  he  laid  his  robe  from 
him,  and  covered  him  with  sack- 
cloth, ^and  sat  in  ashes. 

7 /^And  he  caused  it  to  be  pro- 
claimed and  ® published  through 
Nin-e-v6h  by  the  decree  of  the  king 
and  his  ® nobles,  saying.  Let  neither 
man  nor  beast,  herd  nor  flock,  taste 
any  thing : let  them  not  feed,  nor 
drink  water ; 

8 But  let  man  and  beast  be  covered 
with  sackcloth,  and  cry  mightily 
unto  God : yea,  *let  them  turn  every 
one  from  his  evil  way,  and  from 
Hhe  violence  that  is  in  their  hands. 

9 "‘Who  can  tell  if  God  will  turn 
and  repent,  and  turn  away  from 
his  fierce  anger,  that  we  perish 
notl 

10  51  "And  God  saw  their  works, 
that  they  turned  from  their  evil 
way ; and  God  repented  of  the  evil, 
that  he  had  said  that  he  would  do 
unto  them ; and  he  did  it  not.

CHAPTER  4. 

1 Jonah,  repining  at  God's  mercy,  4 is  reproved  by  the 
type  of  a gourd. 

But  it  displeased  Jo-nah  exceed- 
ingly, and  he  was  very  angry. 

2 And  he  prayed  unto  the  Lord, 
and  said,  I pray  thee,  O Lord,  tva's 
not  this  my  saying,  when  I was  yet 
in  my  country  1 Therefore  I * fled 
before  unto  Tar-shish : for  I knew 
that  thou  art  a ‘'gracious  God,  and 
merciful,  slow  to  anger,  and  of  great 
kindness,  and  repentest  thee  of  the 
evil. 

3 Therefore  now,  O Lord,  take,  I 
beseech  thee,  my  life  from  me  ; for 
® it  is  better  for  me  to  die  than  to  live. 
4 11  Then  said  the  Lord,  ^Doest 
thou  well  to  be  angry  1 
5 So  Jo-nah  went  out  of  the  city, 
and  sat  on  the  east  side  of  the  city, 
and  there  made  him  a booth,  and  sat 
under  it  in  the  shadow,  till  he  might 
see  what  would  become  of  the  city. 
6 And  the  Lord  God  prepared  a 
gourd,  and  made  t9  come  up 
over  Jo-nah,  that  it  might  be  a 
shadow  over  his  head,  to  deliver 
him  from  his  grief.  So  Jo-nah  ®was 
exceeding  glad  of  the  gourd. 

7 But  God  prepared  a worm  when 
the  morning  rose  the  next  day,  and 
it  smote  the  gourd  that  it  withered. 
8 And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
sun  did  arise,  that  God  prepared  a 
’vehement  east  wind ; and  the  sun 
beat  upon  the  head  of  Jo-nah,  that 
he  fainted,  and  wished  in  himself 
to  die,  and  said,'  ^It  is  better  for  me 
to  die  than  to  live. 

9 And  God  said  to  Jo-nah,  ^Doest 
thou  well  to  be  angry  for  the  gourd  1 
And  he  said,  ^ I do  well  to  be  angry, 
even  unto  death. 

10  Then  said  the  Lord,  Thou  hast 
had  pity  on  the  gourd,  for  the 
which  thou  hast  not  laboured,  nei- 
ther madest  it  grow  ; which  ^ came  up 
in  a night,  and  perished  in  a night : 

11  And  should  09!  I spare  Nin- 
6-v6h,  that  great  city,  wherein  are 
more  than  sixscore  thousand  per- 
sons that  cannot  discern  between 
their  right  hand  and  their  left 
hand ; and  also  much  cattle  ?

poured  down  ^a  steep  place. 

5 For  the  transgression  of  Ja-eOb 
is  all  this,  and  for  the  sins  of  the 
house  of  Is-ra-el.  What  is  the 
transgression  of  Ja-eSb'?  is  it  not 
Sa-ma-ri-a?_and  what  are  the  high 
places  of  Ju-dah'?  are  they  not  Je- 
ru-sa-lem  % 

6 Therefore  I will  make  Sa-ma- 
ri-a  ‘^as  an  heap  of  the  field,  and  as 
plantings  of  a vineyard  : and  I will 
pour  down  the  stones  thereof  into 
the  valley,  and  I will  ® discover  the 
foundations  thereof. 

7 And  all  the  graven  images  there- 
of shall  be  beaten  to  pieces,  and  all 
the  ^ hires  thereof  shall  be  burned 
with  the  fire,  and  all  the  idols 
thereof  will  I lay  desolate : for  she 
gathered  it  of  the  hire  of  an  harlot, 
and  they  shall  return  to  the  hire  of 
an  harlot. 

8 Therefore  * I will  wail  and  howl, 
I will  go  stripped  and  naked : * 1 
will  make  a wailing  like  the  drag- 
ons, and  mourning  as  the  "^owls. 

9 For  ® her  wound  is_  incurable; 
for  *it  is  come  unto  Ju-dah ; he  is 
come  untp  the  gate  of  my  people, 
even  to  JAru-sa-lem. 

10  U ^Declare  ye  it  not  at  Gath, 
weep  ye  not  at  all : in  the  house  of 
^ Aph-rah  roll  thyself  in  the  dust. 

1 1 Pass  ye  away,  ^thou  ^inhabitant 
of  Sa-phir,  having  thy  shame  naked : 
the  inhabitant  of  ®Za-a-nan  came 
not  forth  in  the  mourning  of  ®Beth- 
e-z6l;  he  shall  receive  of  you  his 
standing. 

12  For  the  inhabitant  of  Ma-r6th 
^waited  carefully  for  good : but  evil 
came  down  from  the  Lord  unto  the 
gate  of  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

13  0 thou  inhabitant  of  La-ehish, 
bind  the  chariot  to  the  swift  beast: 
she  is  the  beginning  of  the  sin  to 
the  daughter  of  Zi-5n:  for  the 
transgressions  of  Is-rd-el  were  found 
in  thee. 

14  Therefore  shalt  thou  give  pres- 
ents ^to  MPr-esh-eth-gath  : the 
houses  of  ^A«h-zib  shall  be  a lie  to 
the  kings  of  Is-ra-6l. 

15  Yet  will  I bring  an  heir  unto 
thee,  O inhabitant  of  "Ma-re-shah: 
®he  shall  come  unto  A-diil-lam  the 
glory  of  Ish  a-6l.

WOE  to  them  ‘’that  devise  in- 
iquity, and  work  evil  upon 
their  beds ! when  the  morning  is 
light,  they  practise  it,  because  it  is 
in  the  power  of  their  hand. 

2  And  they  covet  fields,  and  take 
them  by  violence ; and  houses,  and 
take  them  away  : so  they  ^oppress  a 
man  and  his  house,  even  a man  and 
his  heritage. 

3  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
Behold,  against  this  family  do  I 
devise  an  evil,  from  which  ye  shall 
not  remove  your  necks ; neither 
shall  ye  go  haughtily:  for  this  time 
is  evil. 

4  51  In  that  day  shall  one  take  up 
a parable  against  you,  and -^lament 
^with  a doleful  lamentation,  and 
say,  We  be  utterly  spoiled : he  hath 
changed  the  portion  of  my  people : 
how  hath  he  removed  it  from  me  I 
^turning  away  he  hath  divided  our 
fields. 

5  Therefore  thou  shalt  have  none 
that  shall  cast  a cord  by  lot  in  the 
congregation  of  the  Lord. 

6  Prophesy  ye  not,  say  they  to 
them  that  prophesy : they  shall  not 
prophesy  to  them,  that  they  shall 
not  take  shame. 

7  11  O thou  that  art  named'  the 
house  of  Ja-e6b,  is  the  spirit  of  the 
Lord  ^ straitened  1 are  these  his 
doings^  do  not  my  words  do  good 
to  him  that  walketh  ^uprightly  1 
8 Even  ®of  late  my  people  is  risen 
up  as  an  enemy:  ye  pull  off  the 
robe  '^with  the  garment  from  them 
that  pass  by  securely  as  men  averse 
from  war. 

9 The  ® women  of  my  people  have 
ye  cast  out  from  their  pleasant 
houses ; from  their  children  have 
ye  taken  away  my  glory  for  ever. 
10  Arise  ye,  and  depart;  for  this 
is  not  your  ”*rest : because  it  is  pol- 
luted, it  shall  destroy  you,  even 
with  a sore  destruction. 

1 1 If  a man  ‘^walking  in  the  spirit 
and  falsehood  do  lie,  saying,  I will 
prophesy  unto  thee  of  wine  and  of 
strong  drink ; he  shall  even  be  the 
prophet  of  this  people. 

12  U ”I  will  surely  assemble,  O Ja-

the  remnant  of  Is-rd-el ; I will  put 
them  together  ^as  the  sheep  of  Bdz-

13  The  breaKer  is  come  up  before 
them : they  have  broken  up,  and 
have  passed  through  the  gate,  and 
are  gone  out  by  it : and  * their  king 
shall  pass  before  them,  ‘'and  the 
Lord  on  the  head  of  them. 

CHAPTER  3. 

\ Cruelty  of  the  princes.  5 Of  the  false  prophets. 

AND  I said.  Hear,  I pray  you,  O 
XX.  heads  of  J a-cOb,  and  ye  princes 
©f  the  house  of  Is-rd-el ; ^ Is  it  not 
for  you  to  know  judgment  % 

2 Who  hate  the  good,  and  love  the 
evil ; who  pluck  off  their  skin  from 
off  them,  and  their  flesh  from  off 
their  bones ; 

3 Who  also  •''eat  the  flesh  of  my 
people,  and  flay  their  skin  from  off 
them : and  they  break  their  bones, 
and  chop  them  in  pieces,  as  for  the 
pot,  and  ^as  flesh  within  the  caldron. 

4 Then  ''shall  they  cry  unto  the 
L9RD,  but  he  will  not  hear  them : he 
will  even  hide  his  face  from  them 
at  that  time,  as  they  have  behaved 
themselves  ill  in  their  doings. 

5 U Thus  saith  the  Lord  'concern- 
ing the  prophets  that  make  my 
people  err,  that  ”bite  with  their 
teeth,  and  cry.  Peace;  and  ®he  that 
putteth  not  into  their  mouths,  they 
even  prepare  war  against  him. 

6 ^Therefore  night  shall  he  unto 
you,  ‘^that  ye  shall  not  have  a 
vision;  and  it  shall  be  dark  unto 
you,  ^that  ye  shall  not  divine ; *and 
the  sun  shall  go  down  over  the 
prophets,  and  the  day  shall  be  dark 
over  them. 

7 Then  shall  the  seers  be  ashamed, 
and  the  di  nners  confounded : yea, 
they  shall  all  cover  their  '^lips ; *for 
there  is  no  answer  of  God. 

8 51  But  truly  I am  full  of  power 
by  the  spirit  of  the  Lord,  and  of 
judgment,  and  of  might,  “to  declare 
unto  Ja-c5b  his  transgression,  and 
to  Is-ra-6l  his  sin. 

9 Hear  this,  I pray  you,  ye  heads 
of  the  house  of  J a-e^3b,  and  princes 
of  the  house  of  l§-ra-el,  that  abhor 
judgment,  and  pervert  all  equity. 

10  ''They  build  up  Zi-6n  with 
'blood,®  and  Je-ru-sa-l6m  with  in- 
iquity. 

11  *The  heads  thereof  judge  for 
reward,  and  ^the  priests  thereof 
teach  for  hire,  and  the  prophets 
thereof  divine  for  money : ^yet  will 
they  lean  upon  the  Lord,  ’and  say, 
/s  not  the  Lord  among  us"?  none 
evil  can  come  upon  us. 

12  Therefore  shall  Zi-6n  for  your

The  glory,  peace,  and  victory  of  the  church. 

But  ‘'in  the  last  days  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  the  moun- 
tain of  the  house  of  the  Lord  shall 
be  established  in  the  top  of  the 
mountains,  and  it  shall  be  exalted 
above  the  hills;  and  people  shall 
flow  unto  it. 

2  And  many  nations  shall  come, 
and  say.  Come,  and  let  us  go  up  to 
the  mountain  of  the  Lord,  and  to 
the  h9use  of  the  God  of  Ja-eOb;  and 
he  will  teach  us  of  his  ways,  and 
we  will  walk  in  his  paths : for  the 
law  shall  go  forth  of  Zl-On,  and 
the  word  of  the  Lord  from  Je-ru- 
sa-lem. 

3  H And  he  shall  judge  among 
many  people,  and  rebuke  strong 
nations  afar  off;  and  they  shall 
beat  their  swords  into  'plowshares, 
and  their  spears  into  ' pruning- 
hooks:  nation  shall  not  lift  up  a 
sword  against  nation,  "neither  shall 
they  learn  war  any  more. 

4  "“But  they  shall  sit  every  man 
under  his  vine  and  under  his  fig 
tree  ; and  none  shall  make  them 
afraid : for  the  mouth  of  the  Lord 
of  hosts  hath  spoken  it. 

5  For  ^all  people  will  walk  every 
one  in  the  name  of  his  god,  and 
""we  will  walk  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord  our  God  for  ever  and  ever. 

6  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord,  'will 
I assemble  her  that  halteth,  “and  I 
will  gather  her  that  is  driven  out, 
and  her  that  I have  afflicted  ; 

7  And  I will  make  her  that  halted 
^a  remnant,  and  her  that  was  cast 
far  off  a strong  nation : and  the 
Lord  *shall  reign  over  them  in 
mount  Zi-5n  from  henceforth,  even 
for  ever. 

8  51  And  thou,  O tower  of  ®the 
flock,  the  strong  hold  of  the  daugh- 
ter of  Zi-5n,  unto  thee  shall  it  come, 
even  the  first  dominion  ; the  king- 
dqm  shall  come  to  the  daughter  of 
JAru-sa-lem. 

9  Now  why  dost  thou  cry  out  a- 
loud?  ’^is  there  no  king  in  theel  is 
thy  counsellor  perished  1 for  pangs 
have  taken  thee  as  a woman  in 
travail. 

10  Be  in  pain,  and  labour  to  bring 
forth,  O daughter  of  Zi-5n,  like  a 
woman  in  travail : for  now  shalt 
thou  go  forth  out  of  the  city,  and 
thou  shalt  dwell  in  the  field,  and 
thou  shalt  go  even  to  Bab-y-l5n; 
there  shalt  thou  be  delivered ; there

ther them  ®as  the  sheaves  into  the

3 Therefore  will  he  give  them  up,

5 And  this  man  ® shall  be  the 
peace,  when  the  As-syr4-an  shall 
come  into  our  land : and  when  he 
shall  tread  in  our  palaces,  then  shall 
we  raise  against  him  seven  shep-

CHAPTER  6. 

1 God's  controversy  for  unkindness,  6 for  ignorance, 

10  for  injustice,  16  and  for  idolatry. 

Hear  ye  now  what  the  Lord 
saith ; Arise,  contend  thou 
® before  the-  mountains,  and  let 
the  hills  hear  thy  voice. 

2 ^Hear  ye,  O mountains,  *the 
Lord’s  controversy,  and  ye  strong 
foundations  of  the  earth : for  * the 
Lord  hath  a controversy  with  his 
people,  and  he  wiU  plead  with  Is- 
ra-6l. 

3 O my  people,  ‘'what  have  I done 
unto^  theel  and  wherein  have  I 
wearied  theel  testify  against  me. 
4 •''For  I brought  thee  up  out  of 
the  land  of  E-gypt,  and  redeemed 
thee  out  of  the  house  of  servants: 
and  I sent  before  thee  Mo-ses,  A^- 
5n,  and  Mir4-am. 

5  O my  people,  remember  now 
what  ''Badak  king  of  Mo-ab  con- 
sulted, and  what  Badaam  the  son 
of  Be-6r  answered  him  from  ^ Shit^ 
tim  unto  Gil-gal ; that  ye  may  know 
'the  righteousness  of  the  Lord. 

6  ^ Wherewith  shall  I come  before 
the  Lord,  and  bow  myself  before 
the  high  God shall  I C9me  bef9re 
him  with  burnt  offerings,  with 
calves  ’of  a year  old? 

7  “Will  the  Lord  be  pleased  with 
thousands  of  rams,  or  with  ten 
thousands  of  rivers  of  oil?  ^’shall

gression,  the  fruit  of  my  ^ body /or 
the  sin  of  my  soul? 

8 He  hath  “shewed  thee,  O man, 
what  is  good ; and  what  doth  the 
Lord  require  of  thee,  but  *to  do 
justly,  and  to  love  mercy,  and  to 
*^walk  humbly  with  thy  Godi 

9 The  Lord’s  voice  crieth  unto  the 
city,  and  ^the  man  of  wisdom  shall 
see  thy  name : hear  ye  the  rod,  and 
who  hath  appointed  it. 

10  IT  ^Are  there  yet  the  treasures 
of  wickedness  in  the  house  of  the 
wicked,  and  the  ® scant  measure 
that  is  abominable? 

11  ® Shall  I count  them  pure  with 
^ the  wicked  balances,  and  with  the 
bag  of  deceitful  weights  % 

12  For  the  rich  men  thereof  are 
full  of  violence,  and  the  inhabitants 
thereof  have  spoken  lies,  and  their 
tongue  is  deceitful  in  their  mouth. 

13  Therefore  also  will  1 *make  thee 
sick  in  smiting  thee,  in  making  thee 
desolate  because  of  thy  sins. 

14  Thou  shalt  eat,  but  not  be 
satisfied ; and  thy  casting  down 
shall  he  in  the  midst  of  thee;  and 
thou  shalt  take  hold,  but  shalt 
not  deliver;  and  that  which  thou 
deliverest  will  I give  up  to  the 
sword. 

15  Thou  shalt  sow,  but  thou  shalt 
not  reap;  thou  shalt  tread  the 
olives,  but  thou  shalt  not  anoint 
thee  with  oil ; and  sweet  wine,  but 
shalt  not  drink  wine. 

16  ^ For  ^the  statutes  of  Om-ri 
are  kept,  and  all  the  works  of  the 
house  of  A-hab,  and  ye  walk  in 
their  counsels  ; that  I should  make 
thee  a ^desolation,  and  the  inhabit- 
ants thereof  an  hissing : therefore 
ye  shall  bear  the  reproach  of  my 
people.

the  general  corruption,  5 putteth  her  confidence  in  God.

WOE  is  me ! for  I am  as  ®when 
they  have  gathered  the  sum- 
mer fruits,  as  “the  grapegleanings

man  his  brother  with  a net. 

3  ^ That  they  may  do  evil  with 
both  hands  earnestly,  the  prince 
asketh,  and  the  judge  asketh  for

2  ^God  is  ''jealous,  and  the  Loed 
revengeth;  the  Lord  revengeth, 
and  “^is  furious  ; the  Lord  will  take 
vengeance  on  his  adversaries,  and 
he  reserveth  wrath  for  his  enemies. 

3  The  Lord  is  ®slow  to  anger,  and 
‘^great  in  power,  and  will  not  at  all 
acquit  the  wicked:  ® the  Lord  hath 
his  way  in  the  whirlwind  and  in 
the  storm,  and  the  clouds  are  the 
dust  of  his  feet. 

4  •''He  rebuketh  the  sea,  and  mak-

rivers;  ^Ra-shan  languisheth,  and 
Car-m6l,  and  the  flower  of  L6b-a-

5  The  mountains  quake  at  him,

eth  them  that  trust  in  him. 

8  But  with  an  overrunning  flood

strength,  and  it  was  infinite;  Put 
and  Lu-bim  were  ’thy  helpers. 

10  Yet  was  she  carried  away,  she 
went  into  captivity:  ®her  young 
children  also  were  dashed  in  pieces 
■^at  the  top  of  all  the  streets : and 
they  ^cast  lots  for  her  honourable 
men,  and  all  her  great  men  were 
bound  in  chains. 

1 1 Thou  also  shalt  be  ^ drunken  : 
thou  shalt  be  hid,  thou  also  shalt 
seek  strength  because  of  the  enemy. 

12  All  thy  strong  holds  shall  be 
like  *fig  trees  with  the  firstripe  figs: 
if  they  be  shaken,  they  shall  even 
fall  into  the  mouth  of  the  eater. 

13  Behold,  *thy  people  in  the  midst 
of  thee  are  women:  the  gates  of 
thy  land  shall  be  set  wide  open 
unto  thine  enemies:  the  fire  shall 
devour  thy  ^bars. 

14  Draw  thee  waters  for  the  siege, 
"^fortify  thy  strong  holds : go  into 
clay,  and  tread  the  morter,  make 
strong  the  brickkiln. 

15  There  shall  the  fire  devour 
thee ; the  sword  shall  cut  tbee  off, 
it  shall  eat  thee  up  like  "*the  canker- 
worm  : make  thyself  many  as  the 
cankerworm,  make  thyself  many  as 
the  locusts. 

1 6 Thou  hast  multiplied  thy  mer- 
chants above  the  stars  of  heaven : 
the  cankerworm  ^ spoileth,  and  fleeth 
away. 

1 7 °Thy  crowned  are  as  the  locusts, 
and  thy  captains  as  the  great  grass- 
hoppers, which  camp  in  the  hedges 
in  the  cold  day,  but  when  the  sun 
ariseth  they  flee  away,  and  their 
place  is  not  known  where  they 
are. 

18  ^Thy  shepherds  slumber,  O 
’'king  of  As-syr4-a:  thy  ^ nobles 
shall  dwell  in  the  dust : thy  people 
is  “scattered  upon  the  mountains, 
and  no  man  gathereth  themi. 

19  There  is  no  ^healing  of  thy 
bruise;  ^thy  wound  is  grievous: 
^all  that  hear  the  bruit  of  tbee 
shall  clap  the  hands  over  thee : for 
upon  whom  hath  not  tby  wicked- 
ness passed  continually? 


CHAPTER  1. 

1 Unto  Babakkuk,  complaining  of  the  iniquity  of  the  land, 

5 is  shewed  the  fearful  vengeance  by  the  Chaldeans.  12 

He  complaineth  to  God. 

niHE  burden  which  Ha-bak-kuk 
X the  prophet  did  see. 

2 O Lord,  how  long  shall  I cry, 
“and  thou  wilt  not  hear ! even  cry 
out  unto  thee  of  violence,  and  thou 
wilt  not  save ! 

3 Why  dost  thou  shew  me  in- 
iquity, and  cause  vie  to  behold 
grievance  1 for  spoiling  and  vio- 
lence are  before  me:  and  there 
are  that  raise  up  strife  and  con- 
tention. 

4 Therefore  the  law  is  slacked,  and 
judgment  doth  never  go  forth  : for 
the  ‘'wicked  doth  compass  about  the 
righteous  ; therefore  ^ wrong  judg- 
ment proceedeth. 

5 H ‘^Behold  ye  among  the  hea- 
then, and  regard,  and  wonder  mar- 
vellously: for  I will  work  a work 
in  your  days,  which  ye  will  not  be- 
lieve, though  it  be  told  you. 

6 For,  lo,  I raise  up  the  -Chabde- 
an§,  that  bitter  ancf  hasty  nation, 
which  shall  march  through  the 
’breadth  of  the  land,  to  possess  the 
dwellingplaces  that  are  not  their’s. 

7 They  are  terrible  and  dreadful : 
^ their  judgment  and  their  dignity 
shall  proceed  of  themselves. 

8 Their  horses  also  are  swifter 
than  the  leopards,  and  are  more 
^ fierce  than  the  evening  wolves : 
and  their  horsemen  shall  spread 
themselves,  and  their  horsemen 
shall  come  from  far;  they  shall 
fly  as  the  eagle  that  hasteth  to  eat. 

9 They  shall  come  all  for  violence : 

their  faces  shall  sup  up  as  the 

east  wind,  and  they  shall  gather 
the  captivity  as  the  sand. 

10  And  they  shall  scoff  at  the 
kings,  and  the  princes  shall  be  a 
scorn  unto  them : they  shall  deride 
every  strong  hold;  for  they  shall 
heap  dust,  and  take  it. 

11  Then  shall  his  mind  change, 
and  he  shall  pass  over,  and  offend, 
imputing  this  his  power  unto  his 
god. 

1 2 H Art  thou  not  from  everlast- 
ing, O Lord  my  God,  mine  Holy 
One?  we  shall  not  die.  O Lord, 
^thou  hast  ordained  them  for  judg- 
ment ; and,  ^mighty  God,  thou 
hast  ^established  them  for  correc- 
tion.

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Unto  Habakkuk  is  shewed  that  he  must  wait  by  faith. 
5 The  judgment  upon  the  Chaldean  for  unsatiableness, 
9 for  covetousness,  12  for  cruelty,  15  for  drunkenness, 
18  and  fvr  idolatry. 

I  WILL  stand  upon  my  watch. 

and  set  me  upon  the  ® tower,  and 
will  watch  to  see  what  he  will  say 
^unto  me,  and  what  I shall  answer 
’^^when  I am  reproved. 

2  And  the  Lord  answered  me,  and 
said,  * Write  the  vision,  and  make 
it  plain  upon  tables,  that  he  may 
run  that  readeth  it.  ^ 

3  For  the  vision  is  yet  for  an 
appointed  time,  but  at  the  end  it 
shall  speak,  and  not  lie : though 
it  tarry,  wait  for  it ; because  it  will 
surely  come,  it  will  not  tarry. 

4  Behold,  his  soul  which  is  lifted 
up  is  not  upright  in  him : but  the 
-''just  shall  live  by  his  faith. 

5  H ’Yea  also,  because  he  trans- 
gresseth  by  wine,  he  is  a proud 
man,  neither  keejieth  at  home,  who 
enlargeth  his  desire  as  hell,  and  is 
as  death,  and  cannot  be  satis- 
fied, but  gathereth  unto  him  all 
nations,  and  heapeth  unto  him  all 

not  all  these  take  up  a 
parable  against  him,  and  a taunt- 
ing proverb  against  him,  and  say,

7 Shall  they  not  rise  up  suddenly 
that  shall  bite  thee,  and  awake  that 
shall  vex  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  for 
booties  unto  them  % 

8 “Because  thou  hast  spoiled  many 
nations,  all  the  remnant  of  the 
people  shall  spoil  thee ; because  of 
men’s  ^ blood,  and  for  the  violence

9 H Woe  to  him  that  /coveteth  an 
evil  covetousness  to  his  house,  that 
he  may  * set  his  nest  on  high, 
that  he  may  be  delivered  from  the

10  Thou  hast  consulted  shame  to 
thy  house  by  cutting  off  many  peo- 
ple, and  hast  sinned  against  thy 
soul. 

11  For  the  stone  shall  cry  out  of

shall  weary  themselves  ^for  very 
vanity  1

the  cup  of  the  Loed’s  right  hand

2  0 Loed,  i have  heard  ^thy 
speech,  and  was  afraid : O Loed, 
^revive  thy  work  in  the  midst  of 
the  years,  in  the  midst  of  the  years 
make  known ; in  wrath  remember 
mercy. 

3  God  came  from  ®Te-man,  and 
the  Holy  One  from  mount  Pa-ran. 
Se-lah.  His  glory  covered  the  hea- 
vens, and  the  earth  was  full  of  his 
praise. 

4  And  his  brightness  was  as  the 
light  ; he  had  ^ horns  coming  out 
of  his  hand : and  there  was  the 
hiding  of  his  power. 

5  Before  him  went  the  pestilence, 
and  ^burning  coals  went  forth  at 
his  feet. 

6  He  stood,  and  measured  the 
earth : he  beheld,  and  drove  asun- 
der the  nations ; and  the  everlast- 
ing mountains  were  scattered,  the 
perpetual  hills  did  bow:  his  ways 
are  everlasting. 

7  I saw  the  tents  of  ®-Gu-shan  ®in 
affliction : and  the  curtains  of  the 
land  of  Mid4-an  did  tremble. 

8  Was  the  Loed  displeased  against 
the  rivers'?  was  thine  anger  against 
the  rivers '?  was  thy  wrath  against 
the  sea,  that  thou  didst  ride  upon 
thine  horses  and  ®thy  chariots  of 
salvation  % 

9  Thy  bow  was  made  quite  naked, 
according  to  the  oaths  of  the  tribes, 
even  thy  word.  SeTah.  /Thou  didst 
cleave  the  earth  y/ith  rivers. 

10  The  mountains  saw  thee,  and 
they  trembled  : the  overflowing  of 
the  water  passed  by:  the  deep  ut- 
tered his  voice,  and  lifted  up  his 
hands  on  high. 

11  The  sun  moon  stood  still 
in  their  habitation  : ^at  the  light 
of  thine  arrows  they  went,  and 
at  the  shining  of  thy  glittering 
spear. 

1 2  Thou  didst  march  through  the 
land  in  indignation,  thou  didst 
thresh  the  heathen  in  anger. 

1 3  Thou  wen  test  forth  for  the  sal- 
vation of  thy  people,  even  for  sal- 
vation with  thine  anointed  ; thou 
woundedst  the  head  out  of  the  house 
of  the  wicked,  ‘‘by  discovering  the 
foundation  unto  the  neck.  SeTah. 

14  Thou  didst  strike  through  with 
his  staves  the  head  of  his  villages : 
they  ®came  out  as  a whirlwind  to 
scatter  me : their  rejoicing  ivas  as 
to  devour  the  poor  secretly.

of  wasteness  and  desolation,  a day 
of  darkness  and  gloominess,  a day 
of  clouds  and  thick  darkness, 

16  A day  of  *the  trumpet  and  a- 
larm  against  the  fenced  cities,  and 
against  the  high  towers. 

17  And  I will  bring  distress  upon 
men,  that  they  shall  ^ walk  like  blind 
men,  because  they  have  sinned  a- 
gainst  the  Lord  : and  « their  blood 
shall  be  poured  out  as  dust,  and 
their  flesh  *as  the  dung. 

18  ^Neither  their  silver  nor  their 
gold  shall  be  able  to  deliver  them 
in  the  day  of  the  Lord’s  wrath ; but 
the  whole  land  shall  be  "devoured 
by  the  fire  of  his  jealousy  for  he 
shall  make  even  a speedy  riddance 
of  all  them  that  dwell  in  the  land.

exhortation  to  wait  for  the  restoration  of  Israel,  14  cmd 
to  rejoice  for  their  salvation  by  God. 

WOE  to  her  that  is  filthy  and 
polluted,  to  the  oppressing 

city! 

2  She  ^obeyed  not  the  voice; 
she  ^ received  not  correction  ; she 
trusted  not  in  the  Lord  ; she  drew 
not  near  to  her  God. 

3  ^ Her  princes  within  her  are 
roaring  lions ; her  judges  are  even- 
ing wolves ; they  gnaw  not  the 
bones  till  the  morrow. 

4  Her  ® prophets  are  light  and 
treacherous  persons : her  priests 
have  polluted  the  sanctuary,  they 
have  done  '‘violence  to  the  law. 

5  "The  just  Lord  ^is  in  the  midst 
thereof ; he  will  not  do  iniquity  : 
^ every  morning  doth  he  bring  his 
iudgment  to  light,  he  faileth  not; 
but  "“the  unjust  knoweth  no  shame. 
6 I have  cut  off'  the  nations  : their

rise  up  to  the  prey : for  my  deter- 
mination is  to  ^gather  the  nations,

4 Yet  now  ^‘be  strong,  O Ze-rub-

the  Lord  by  Hag%ai  the  prophet, 
saying, 

1 1 Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 
“Ask  now  the  priests  concerning 
the  law,  saying, 

12  If  one  bear  holy  flesh  in  the 
skirt  of  his  garment,  and  with  his 
skirt  do  touch  bread,  or  pottage,  or 
wine,  or  oil,  or  any  meat,  shall  it  be 
holy  ? ^ And  the  priests  answered 
and  said.  No. 

13  Then  said  Hag%ai,  If  one  that 
is  ® unclean  by  a dead  body  touch 
any  of  these,  shall  it  be  unclean? 
And  the  priests  answered  and  said. 
It  shall  be  unclean. 

14  Then  answered  Hag-gai,  and 
said,  ^So  is  this  people,  and  so  is 
this  nation  before  me,  saith  the 
Lord  ; and  so  is  every  work  of  their 
hands;  and  that  which  they  offer 
there  is  unclean. 

15  And  now,  I pray  you,  * consider 
from  this  day  and  upward,  from 
before  a stone  was  laid  upon  a 
stone  in  the  temple  of  the  Lord: 

16  Since  those  days  were,  ‘when 
one  came  to  an  heap  of  twenty 
measures,  there  were  hut  ten : when 
one  came  to  the  pressfat  for  to 
draw  out  fifty  vessels  out  of  the 
press,  there  were  hut  twenty. 

17  *I  smote  you  with  blasting  and 
with  mildew  and  with  hail  Hn  aU 
the  labours  of  your  hands ; “ yet  ye 
turned  not  to  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

18  Consider  now  from  this  day 
and  upward,  from  the  four  and 
twentieth  day  of  the  ninth  month, 
even  from  «tHe  day  that  the  foun- 
dation of  the  Lord’s  temple  was 
laid,  consider  it. 

19  "Is  the  seed  yet  in  the  barn? 
yea,  as  yet  the  vine,  and  the  fig 
tree,  and  the  pomegranate,  and  the 
olive  tree,  hath  not  brought  forth : 
from  this  day  will  I bless  you. 

20  U And  again  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  Hag-gai  in  the  four  and 
twentieth  day  of  the  month,  saying, 

21  Speak  to  Ze-rub-ba-bel,  * gov- 
ernor of  Ju-dah,  saying,  *I  will 
shake  the  heavens  and  the  earth ; 

22  And  “I  will  overthrow  the 
throne  of  kingdoms,  and  I will 
destroy  the  strength  of  the  king- 
doms of  the  heathen;  and  •’I  will 
overthrow  the  chariots,  and  those 
that  ride  in  them  • and  the  horses  and 
their  riders  shall  come  down,  every 
one  by  the  sword  of  his  brother. 

23  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  will  I take  thee,  O Ze-rub- 
ba-b6l,  my  servant,  the  son  of  She- 
al-tl-6l,  saith  the  Lord,  -^and  will 
make  thee  as  a signet : for  I have 
chosen  thee,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.

CHAPTER  1. 

1 Zechariah  eaihorteth  to  repentance.  7 Vision  of  the  horses. 
12  Comfortable  promises  to  Jerusalem.  18  Vision  of  the 
four  horns,  and  the  four  carpenters. 

IN  the  eighth  month,  in  the  sec- 
ond year  of  Da-ri-tis,  came  the 
word  of  the  Lord  ®unto  Ze^h-a- 
ri-ah,  the  son  of  Ber-e-ehi-ah,  the 
son  of  Id-do  the  prophet,  saying, 

2 The  Lord  hath  been  ^sore  dis- 
pleased with  your  fathers. 

3 Therefore  say  thou  unto  them. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; Turn 
•'^ye  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  and  I will  turn  unto  you, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

4 Be  ye  not  as  your  fathers,  ^'unto 
whom  the  former  prophets  have 
cried,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts;  *Turn  ye  now  from  your 
evil  ways,  and  from  your  evil  do- 
ings : but  they  did  not  hear,  nor 
hearken  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord. 
5 Your  fathers,  where  are  they  1 
and  the  prophets,  do  they  live  for 
ever  1 

6 But  ’"my  words  and  my  statutes, 
which  I commanded  my  servants 
the  prophets,  did  they  not  ^take 
hold  of  your  fathers  % and  they  re- 
turned and  said,  ‘’Like  as  the  Lord 
of  hosts  thought  to  do  unto  us, 
according  to  our  ways,  and  accord- 
ing to  our  doings,  so  hath  he  dealt 
with  us. 

7 ^ Upon  the  four  and  twentieth 
day  of  the  eleventh  month,  which 
is  the  month  Se-bat,  in  the  second 
year  of  Da-ri-us,  came  the  word  of 
the  Lord  unto  Z6oh-a-ri-ah,  the  son 
of  Ber-e-ehi-ah,  the  son  of  Id-do 
the  prophet,  saying,  , . , , ^ 

8 I saw  by  night,  and  behold  *a 
man  riding  upon  a red  horse,  and 
he  stood  among  the  myrtle  trees 
that  were  in  the  bottom ; and  be- 
hind him  were  there  *red  horses, 
^speckled,  and  white. 

9 Then  said  I,  O my  lord,  what  are 
these]  And  the  angel  that  talked 
with  me  said  unto  me,  I will  shew 
thee  what  these  be. 

10  And  the  man  that  stood  among 
the  myrtle  trees  answered  and  said, 
* These  are  they  whom  the  Lord 
hath  sent  to  walk  to  and  fro 
through  the  earth. 

1 1 And  they  answered  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  that  stood  among  the 
myrtle  trees,  and  said,  We  have 
walked  to  and  fro  through  the  earth,

and,  behold,  all  the  earth  sitteth 
still,  and  is  at  rest. 

12  H Then  the  an^l  of  the  Lord 
answered  and  said,  ‘*0  Lord  of  hosts, 
how  long  wilt  thou  not  have  mercy 
on  JAru-sa-l6m  and  9n  the  cities 
of  Ju-dah,  against  which  thou  hast 
had  indignation  these  threescore 
and  ten  years'? 

13  And  the  Lord  answered  the 
angel  that  talked  with  me  with 
® good  words  and  comfortable 
words. 

14  So  the  angel  that  communed 
with  me  said  unto  me.  Cry  thou, 
saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  I am  '^jealous  for  Je-ru-sa- 
lem  and  for  Zi-5n  with  a great 
jealousy. 

15  And  I am  very  sore  displeased 
with  the  heathen  that  are  at  ease: 
for  was  but  a little  displeased,  and 
they  helped  forward  the  affliction. 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
H am  returned  to  JAru-sa-lem  with 
mercies : my  2iouse  shall  be  built 
in  it,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and 
" a line  shall  be  stretched  forth  upon 
J6-ru-sa-l6m. 

1 7 Cry  yet,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts;  My  cities  through 
® prosperity  shall  yet  be  spread  a- 
broad;  ^and  the  Lord  shall  yet 
comfort  Zi-6n,  and  ® shall  yet  choose 
JAru-sa-lem. 

18  ^ Then  lifted  I up  mine  eyes, 
and  saw,  and  behold  four  horns. 

19  And  I said  unto  the  angel  that 
talked  with  me.  What  he  these] 
And  he  answered  me,  ’’These  are 
the  horns  which  have  scattered 
Ju-dah,  Is-ra-6l,  and  JAru-sa-l6m. 

20  And  the  Lord  shewed  me  four 
carpenters. 

21  Then  said  I,  What  come  these 
to  do  ] And  he  spake,  saying.  These 
are  the  horns  which  have  scattered 
Ju-dah,  so  that  no  man  did  lift  up 
his  head : but  these  are  come  to 
fray  them,  to  cast  out  the  horns  of 
the  Oen-tiles,  which  "lifted  up 
horn  over  the  land  of  Ju-dah  to 
scatter  it.

I LIFTED  up  mine  eyes  again, 
and  looked,  and  behold  *a  man 
I with  a measuring  line  in  his  hand.

measure  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  to  see  what 
is  the  breadth  thereor,  and  what  is 
the  length  thereof. 

3 And,  behold,  the  angel  that 
talked  with  me  went  forth,  and  an- 
other angel  went  out  to  meet  him, 

4 And  said  unto  him,  Run,  s:peak 
t9  this  young  man,  saying,  ^ Je-ru- 
sa-lem  shall  be  inhabited  as  towns 
without  walls  for  the  multitude  of 
men  and  cattle  therein : 

5 For  I,  saith  the  Lord,  will  be 
unto  her  ‘'a  wall  of  fire  round  about, 
®and  will  be  the  glory  in  the  midst 
of  her. 

6 H Ho,  ho,  co'me  forth,  and  flee 
^'from  the  land  of  the  north,  saith 
the  Lord  : for  I have  * spread  you 
abroad  as  the  four  winds  of  the 
heaven,  saith  the  Lord. 

7 * Deliver  thyself,  O Zi-6n,  that 
dwellest  with  the  daughter  of  Bab- 
y-l5n. 

8 For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 
After  the  glory  hath  he  sent  me 
unto  the  nations  which  spoiled  you : 
for  he  that  Uoucheth  you  toucheth 
the  apple  of  his  eye. 

9 For,  behold,  I will  ’'shake  mine 
hand  upon  them,  and  they  shall  be 
a spoil  to  their  servants : and  ye 
shall  know  that  the  Lord  of  hosts 
hath  sent  me. 

10  ^ "Sing  and  rejoice,  O daughter 
of  Zi-bn:  for,  lo,  I come,  and  I *will 
dwell  in  the  midst  of  thee,  saith  the 
Lord. 

11  *And  many  nations  shall  be 
joined  to  the  Lord  in  that  day,  and 
shall  be  my  people : and  I will  dwell 
in  the  midst  of  thee,  and  ^thou  shalt 
know  that  the  Lord  of  hosts  hath 
sent  me  unto  thee. 

12  And  the  Lord  shall  “inherit  Ju- 
dah his  portion  in  the  holy  land, 
and  shall  choose  J e-ru-sa-lem  again. 

13  *Be  silent,  O all  flesh,  before 
the  Lord  : for  he  is  raised  up  ‘^out 
of  ®his  holy  habitation.

AND  the  angel  that  talked  with 
l\.  me  came  again,  and  waked  me, 
*as  a man  that  is  wakenf'd  out  oi

2 And  said  unto  me.  What  seest

5 Then  the  angel  that  talked  with 
me  answered  and  said  unto  me, 
Knowest  thou  not  what  these  be  1 
And  I said.  No,  my  lord.

shalt  become  a plain:  and  he  shall 
bring  forth  Hhe  headstone  thereof

grace  unto  it. 

8 Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

9 The  hands  of  Ze-rub-ba-b6l  ‘*have 
laid  the  foundation  of  this  house: 
his  hands  ^ shall  also  finish  it : and 
•''thou  shalt  know  that  the  ^Lord

HU  Then  answered  I,  and  said 
unto  him.  What  are  these  two  olive 
trees  upon  the  right  side  of  the 
candlestick  and  upon  the  left  side 
thereof  ? 

12  And  I answered  again,  and  said 
unto  him.  What  he  these  two  olive 
branches  which  ^through  the  two 
golden  pipes  ® empty  ®the  golden  oil 
out  of  themselves? 

13  And  he  answered  me  and  said,

1 Vision  of  the  flying  roll,  5 and  of  a woman  pressed 
in  an  ephah. 

Then  I turned,  and  lifted  up 
mine  eyes,  and  looked,  and  be-

2  And  he  said  unto  me.  What 
seest  thou  ? And  I answered.  I see 
a flying  roll ; the  length  thereof 
is  twenty  cubits,  and  the  breadth 
thereof  ten  cubits.

what  is  this  that  goeth  forth. 

6 And  I said.  What  is  it?  And  he 
said.  This  is  an  e-phah  that  goeth 
forth.  He  said  moreover.  This  is 
their  resemblance  through  all  the 
earth. 

7 And,  behold,  there  was  lifted 
up  a ^ talent  of  lead : and  this  is  a 
woman  that  sitteth  in  the  midst  of 
the  e-phah. 

8 And  he  said.  This  is  wickedness. 
And  he  cast  it  into  the  midst  of  the 
e-phah ; and  he  cast  the  weight  of 
lead  upon  the  mouth  thereof. 

9 Then  lifted  I up  mine  eyes,  and 
looked,  and,  behold,  there  came  out 
two  women,  and  the  wind  was  in 
their  wings;  for  they  had  wings 
like  the  wings  of  a stork : and  they 
lifted  up  the  e-phah  between  the 
earth  and  the  heaven. 

10  Then  said  I to  the  angel  that 
talked  with  me.  Whither  do  these 
bear  the  e-phah? 

1 1 And  he  said  unto  me.  To  *build 
it  an  house  in  'the  land  of  Shi-nar: 
and  it  shall  be  established,  and  set 
there  upon  her  own  base. 

CHAPTER  6. 

1 The  vision  of  the  four  chariots.  9 The  temple  and 
kingdom  of  Christ  the  Branch. 

AND  I turned,  and  lifted  up  mine 
eyes,  and  looked,  and,  behold, 
there  came  four  chariots  out  from 
between  two  mountains ; and  the 
mountains  were  mountains  of  brass. 

2 In  the  first  chariot  were  ^red 
horses;  and  in  the  second  chariot 
« black  horses ; 

3 And  in  the  third  chariot  ’‘white 
horses;  and  in  the  fourth  chariot 
grisled  and  ®bay  horses. 

4 Then  I answered  'and  said  unto 
the  angel  that  talked  with  me. 
What  are  these,  my  lord? 

5 And  the  angel  answered  and 
said  unto  me,  “These  are  the  four 
^spirits  of  the  heavens,  which  go 
forth  from  * standing  before  the 
Lord  of  all  the  earth. 

6 The  black  horses  which  are 
therein  go  forth  into  Hhe  north 
country;  and  the  white  go  forth 
after  them;  and  the  grisled  go 
forth  toward  the  south  country. 

7 And  the  bay  went  forth,  and 
sought  to  go  that  they  might  “walk 
to  and  fro  through  the  earth : and 
be  said.  Get  you  hence,  walk  to  and 
fro  through  the  earth.  So  they 
walked  to  and  fro  through  the 
earth. 

8 Then  cried  he  upon  me,  and 
spake  unto  me,  saying.  Behold,

9 H And  the  word  of  the  Lokd  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

10  Take  of  them  of  the  captivity, 
even  of  Hel-dai,  of  T6-bi-jah,  and 
of  Je-da-iah,  which  are  come  from 
Bab-y-l6n,  and  come  thou  the  same 
day,  and  go  into  the  house  of  Jo-si- 
ah  the  son  of  Zgph-a-ni'ah ; 

1 1 Then  take  silver  and  gold,  and 
make  ‘'crowns,  and  set  them  upon 
the^  head  of  J5sh-u-a  the  son  of 
J6s-6-d6€h,  the  high  priest; 

12  And  speak  unto  him,  saying. 
Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
saying.  Behold  •'’the  man  whose 
name  is  The  BRANCH;  and  he 
shall  ^grow  up  out  of  his  place, 
*and  he  shall  ouild  the  temple  of 
the  Lord: 

13  Even  he  shall  build  the  temple 
or  the  Lord  ; and  he  * shall  bear  the 
glory,  and  shall  sit  and  rule  upon 
his  throne ; and  ”he  shall  be  a priest 
upon  his  throne : and  the  counsel  of 
peace  shall  be  between  them  both. 

Tf  crowns  shall  be  to

come  and  build  in  the  temple  of  the 
Lord,  and  ye  shall  know  that  the 
Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent  me  unto 
you.  And  this  shall  come  to  pass,

their  fasting.  8 Sin  the  cause  of  captivity.

XA  year  of  king  Da-ri-us,  that  the 
Lord  came  unto  Zech-a- 
ri-ah  in  the  fourth  day  of  the  ninth 
month,  even  in  -Chisdeu  ;

was  inhabited  and  in  prosperity, 
and  the  cities  thereof  round  about 
her,  when  men  inhabited  Hhe  south 
and  the  plain  ? 

8 If  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  Z6eh-a-ri-ah,  saying, 

9 Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
saying,  ‘'Execute^  true  judgment, 
and  shew  mercy  and  compassions 
every  man  to  his  brother : 

10  And  ® oppress  not  the  widow, 
nor  the  fatherless,  the  stranger, 
nor  the  poor  ; ''and  let  none  of  you 
imagine  evil  against  his  brother  in 
your  heart. 

11  But  they  refused  to  hearken, 
and  * pulled away  the  shoulder, 
and  ’"stopped  Hheir  ears,  that  they 
should  not  hear. 

12  Yea,  they  made  their  “hearts 
as  an  adamant  stone,  ^lest  they 
should  hear  the  law,  and  the  words 
which  the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent 
in  his  spirit  ® by  the  former  prophets : 

® therefore  came  a great  wrath  from 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

13  Therefore  it  is  come  to  pass, 
that  as  he  cried,  and  they  would 
not  hear;  so  Hhey  cried,  and  I 
would  not  hear,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts : 

14  But  "I  scattered  them  with  a 
whirlwind  among  all  the  nations 
whom  they  knew  not.  Thus  the 
land  was  desolate  after  them,  that 
no  man  passed  through  nor  re-

AGAIN  the  word  of  the  Lord  of 
J\.  hosts  came  to  me,  saying, 

2 Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 

* I was  jealous  for  ZT6n  with  great 
jealousy,  and  I was  jealous  for  her 
with  great  fury. 

3 Thus  saith  the  Lord;  I am  re- 
turned unto  Zi-On,  and  will  dwell 
in  the  midst  of  Je-ru-sa-l6m : and 
Je-ru-sa-l6m  “shall  be  called  a city 
of  truth  • and  * the  mountain  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts  ‘'the  holy  mountain. 

4 Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
There  shall  yet  old  men  and  old 

women  dwell  in  the  streets  of  Je- 
every  man  with  his 
staff  in  his  hand  ^for  very  age. 

5 And  the  streets  of  the  city  shall 
be  full  of  boys  and  girls  playing  in 
the  streets  thereof, 


Th£  people  encouraged. 

~6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 

If  it  be  ^ marvellous  in  the  eyes  of 
the  remnant  of  this  people  in  these 
days,  ‘^should  it  also  be  marvellous 
in  mine  eyes*!  saith  the  Lord  of 

7 Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 

Behold,  '‘I  will  save  my  people  from 
the  east  country,  and  from  ^the 
west  country;  , . , , 

8 And  I will  bring  them,  and 
they  shall  dwell  in  the  midst  of 
Je-ru-sa-lem : * and  they  shall  be 
my  people,  and  I will  be  their  God, 
4n  truth  and  in  righteousness. 

9 H Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 
’"Let  your  hands  be  strong,  ye  that 
hear  in  these  days  these  words  by 
the  mouth  of  "the  prophets,  which 
were  in  ^the  day  that  the  founda- 
tion of  the  house  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts  was  laid,  that  the  temple 
might  be  built. 

10  For  before  these  days  ’there 
was  no  hire  for  man,  nor  any  hire 
for  beast;  neither  was  there  any 
peace  to  him  that  went  out  or 
came  in  because  of  the  affliction: 
for  I set  all  men  every  one  against 
iis  neighbour. 

11  But  now  I will  not  he  unto 
the  residue  of  this  people  as  in  the 
former  days,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

12  ‘For  the  seed  shall  be  ® pros- 
perous ; the  vine  shall  give  her  fruit, 
and  ""the  ground  shall  give  her  in- 
crease, and  * the  heavens  shall  give 
their  dew;  and  I will  cause  the 
remnant  oi  this  people  to  possess 
all  these  things. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
as  ye  were  ®a  curse  among  the  hea- 
then, O house  of  Ju-dah,  and  house 
of  Is-ra-el ; so  will  I save  you,  and 
i'ye  shall  be  a blessing:  fear  not, 
hut  let  your  hands  be  strong. 

14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  *As  I thought  to  punish 
you,  when  your  fathers  provoked 
me  to  wrath,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  ‘and  I repented  not: 

15  So  again  have  I thought  in 
these  days  to  do  well  unto  _J Aru- 
sa-lem  and  to  the  house  of  Ju-dah : 
fear  ye  not. 

16  ^ These  are  the  things  that  ye 
shall  do ; ""Speak  ye  every  man  the 
truth  to  his  neighbour;  ® execute 
the  judgment  of  truth  and  peace  in 
your  gates : 

17  ‘’And  let  none  of  you  imagine 
evil  in  your  hearts  against  his 
neighbour  ; and  love  no  false  oath  : 
for  all  these  are  things  that  I hate, 
saith  the  Lord.

any  more : for  now  have  I seen  with 
mine  eyes. 

9 ^ ‘^Eejoice  greatly,  O daughter 
of  Zi-5n ; shout,  O daughter  of  Je- 
ru-sa-lem : behold, /thy  King  cometh 
unto  thee:  he  is  just,  and  ^having 
salvation;  lowly,  and  riding  upon 
an  ass,  and  upon  a colt  the  foal  of 
an  ass. 

10  And  I *will  cut  off  the  chariot 
from  Efphra-lm,  and  the  horse  from 
Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  the  battle  bow 
shall  be  cut  off : and  he  shall  speak 

Seace  unto  the  heathen:  and  his 
ominion  shall  he  from  sea  even  to 
sea,  and  from  the  river  even  to  the 
ends  of  the  earth. 

11  As  for  thee  also,  ®by  the  blood 
of  thy  covenant  I have  sent  forth 
thy  "^prisoners  out  of  the  pit  v/here- 
in  IS  no  water. 

12  H Turn  you  to  the  strong  hold, 

^ ye  prisoners  of  hope : even  to  day 
do  I declare  that  I will  render 
double  unto  thee ; 

13  When  I have  bent  Ju-dah  for 
me,  filled  the  bow  with  E-phra-im, 
and  raised  up  thy  sons,  O Zi-on,  a- 
gainst  thy  sons,  O Greege,  and  made 
thee  as  the  sword  of  a mighty  man. 

14  And  the  Lord  shall  be  seen  over 
them,  and  * his  arrow  shall  go  forth 
as  the  lightning ; and  the  Lord  God 
shall  blow  the  trumpet,  and  shall 
go  *with  whirlwinds  of  the  south. 

15  The  Lord  of  hosts  shall  defend 
them ; and  they  shall  devour,  and 
subdue  with  sling  stones ; and  they 
shall  drink,  and  make  a noise  as 
through  wine;  and  they  ^ shall  be 
filled  like  bowls,  and  as  the  corners 
of  the  altar. 

16  And  the  Lord  their  God  shall 
save  them  in  that  day  as  the  flock 
of  his  people:  for  ^they  shall  be  as 
the  stones  of  a crown,  ^ lifted  up  as 
an  ensign  upon  his  land. 

17  For-^how  great  is  his  goodness, 
and  how  great  ts  his  beauty  ! s' corn 
shall  make  the  young  men  ® cheer-

they  “comfort  in  vain:  therefore 
they  went  their  way  as  a flock,  they 
^were  troubled,  * because  there  was 
no  shepherd. 

3 Mine  anger  was  kindled  against 
the  shepherds,  "and  I ^punished 
the  goats : .for  the  Lord  of  hosts 
"hath  visited  his  flock  the  house  of 
Ju-dah,  and  ^hath  made  them  as 
his  goodly  horse  in  the  battle. 

4 Out  of  him  came  forth  ^the 
corner,  out  of  him  Hhe  nail,  out 
of  him  the  battle  bow,  out  of  him 
every  oppressor  together. 

5 II  And  they  shall  be  as  mighty 
men,  which  Hread  down  their  ene- 
mies in  the  mire  of  the  streets  in 
the  battle:  and  they  shall  fight, 
because  the  Lord  is  with  them,  and 
Hhe  riders  on  horses  shall  be  con- 
founded. 

6 And  I will  strengthen  the  house 
of  J u-dah,  and  I will  save  the  house 
of  Jo-seph,  and  ” I will  bring  them 
again  to  place  them;  for  I "have 
mercy  upon  them : and  they  shall 
be  as  though  I had  not  cast  them 
off:  for  I am  the  Lord  their  God, 
and  «will  hear  them. 

7 And  they  of  E-phra-im  shall  be 
like  a mighty  man,  and  their  ’'heart 
shall  rejpice  as  through  wine  : yea, 
their  children  shall  see  it,  and  be 
glad ; their  heart  shall  rejoice  in 
the  Lord. 

8 I will  * hiss  for  them,  and  gather 
them ; for  I have  redeemed  them : 
“and  they  shall  increase  as  they 
have  increased. 

9 And  will  sow  them  among  the 
people : and  they  shall  * remember 
me  in  far  countries ; and  they  shall 
live^  with  their  children,  and  turn 
again. 

1 0 “I  will  bring  them  again  also  out 
of  the  land  of  E-gypt,  and  gather 
them  out  of  As-syr-i-a ; and  I will 
bring  them  into  the  land  of  Gil-6-ad 
and  Leb-a-n5n ; and  ^place  shall  not

The  restoration  of  Judah. 


2 Howl,  fir  tree;  for  the  cedar  is 
fallen;  because  the  ^mighty  are 
spoiled : howl,  O ye  oaks  of  Ba- 
shan  ; "for  Hhe  forest  of  the  vint- 
age is  come  down. 

3 H There  is  a voice  of  the  howling 
of  the  shepherds ; for  their  glory  is 
spoiled : a voice  of  the  roaring  of 
young  lions ; for  the  pride  of  J dr- 
dan  is  spoiled. 

4 Thus  saith  the  Lord  my  God; 
Feed  the  flock  of  the  slaughter ; 

5 Whose  possessors  slay  them,  and 
®hold  themselves  not  guilty:  and 
they  that  sell  them  ‘*say.  Blessed  be 
the  Lord  ; for  I am  rich  : and  their 
own  shepherds  pity  them  not.  ^ 

6 For  I will  no  more  pity  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land,  saith  the 
Lord:  but,  lo,  I will  deliver  the 
men  every  one  into  his  neighbour  s 
hand,  and  into  the  hand  of  his 
king:  and  they  shall  smite  the 
land,  and  out  of  their  hand  I will 
not  deliver  them. 

7 And  I will  feed  the  flock  of 
slaughter,  ^even  you,  poor  of  the 
flock.  And  I took  unto  me  two 
staves ; the  one  I called  Beauty, 
and  the  other  I called  ^ Bands ; and 
I fed  the  flock. 

8 Three  shepherds  also  I cut  oii 
*in  one  month ; and  my  soul  Uothed 
them,  and  their  soul  also  abhorred 
me. 

9 Then  said  I,  I will  not  feed  you  : 
»*that  that  dieth,  let  it  die;  and 
that  that  is  to  be  cut  off,  let  it  be  cut 
off;  and  let  the  rest  eat  every  one 
the  flesh  ‘^of  another. 

10  ^ And  I took  my  staff,  even 
Beauty,  and  cut  it  asunder,  that  J 
might  break  my  covenant  which  . 
had  made  with  all  the  people. 

1 1 And  it  was  broken  in  that  day 
and  ^ so  ® the  poor  of  the  flock  that 
waited  upon  me  knew  that  it  was 
the  word  of  the  Lord. 

12  And  I said  unto  them,  ®If  ye 
think  good,  give  me  my  price ; and 
if  not,  forbear.  So  they  * weighed 
for  my  price  thirty  pieces  of  silver. 

13  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
Cast  it  unto  the  ’'potter : a goodly 
price  that  I was  prised  at  of  them. 
And  I took  the  thirty  pieces  of  sil- 
ver, and  cast  them  to  the  potter  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

14  Then  I cut  asunder  mine  other 
staff,  even  ® Bands,  that  I might 
break  the  brotherhood  between  J u' 
dah  and  Is-ra-6l. 

15  ^ And  the  Lord  said  unto  me 
*Take  unto  thee  yet  the  instru 
ments  of  a foolish  shepherd. 

16  For,  lo,  I will  raise  up  a shep- 
herd in  the  land,  which  shall  not'

CHAPTER  14. 

1 The  destroyers  of  Jerusalem  destroyed.  4 The  coming  of 
Christ,  and  the  graces  of  his  kingdom.  12  The  plague  of 
Jerusalem's  enemies.  16  The  remnant,  shall  turn  to  the 
Lord,  20  and  their  spoils  shall  be  holy. 

Behold,  ^the  day  of  the  Lord 
cometh,  and  thy  spoil  shall  be 
divided  in  the  midst  of  thee. 

2 For  will  gather  all  nations 
against  Je-ru-sa-lem  to  battle  ; and 
the  city  shall  be  taken,  and  the 
houses  rifled,  and  the  women  rav- 
ished; and  half  of  the  city  shall 
go  forth  into  captivity,  and  the 
residue  of  the  people  shall  not  be 
cut  off  from  the  city. 

3 Then  shall  the  Lord  go  forth, 
and  fight  against  those  nations,  as 
when  he  fought  in  the  day  of  battle. 
4 U And  his  feet  shall  stand  in 
that  day  'upon  the  mount  of  01-i  ves, 
which  is  before  Je-ru-sa-lem  on  the 
east,  and  the  mount  of  01-i  ves  shall 
cleave  in  the  midst  thereof  toward 
the  east  and  toward  the  west,  ^and 
there  shall  be  a very  great  valley ; 
and  half  of  the  mountain  shall  re- 
move toward  the  north,  and  half  of 
it  toward  the  south. 

5 And  ye  shall  flee  to  the  valley 
of  ^ the  mountains  ; ® for  the  valley 
of  the  mountains  shall  reach  unto 
A-zal : yea,  ye  shall  flee,  like  as  ye 
fled  from  before  the  ^earthquake  in

dah : “and  the  Lord  my  God  shall 
come,  and  ^all  the  saints  with  thee. 
6 And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  ^that  the  light  shall  not 
be  ^ clear,  nor  Mark  : 

7 But  ^it  shall  be  one  day  ^which

9 And  the  Lord  shall  be  ‘^king  over

be  "one  Lord,  and  his  name  one. 

10  All  the  land  shall  be  Hurned

south  of  J e-ru-sd-lem : and  it  shall

their  feet,  and  their  eyes  shall  con- 
sume away  in  their  holes,  and  their 
tongue  shall  consume  away  in  their

the  Lord  shall  be  among  them; 
and  they  shall  lay  hold  every  one

that  my  covenant  might  be  with

feared  me,  and  was  afraid  before

6 -^The  law  of  truth  was  in  his 
mouth,  and  iniquity  was  not  found 
in  his  lips : he  walked  with  me  in 
peace  and  equity,  and  did  ^turn 
many  away  frorn  iniquity. 

7 "For  the  priest’s  lips  should 
keep  knowledge,  and  they  should 
seek  the  law  at  his  mouth : * for 
he  is  the  messenger  of  the  Lord 
of  hosts. 

8 But  ye  are  departed  out  of  the 
way ; ye  have  caused  many  to 
® stumble  at  the  law;  ‘’ye  have  cor- 
rupted the  covenant  of  Le-vl,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

9 Therefore  *have  I also  made  you

the  people,  according  as  ye  have 
not  kept  my  ways,  but  '^^have  been 
partial  in  the  law.

faning the  covenant  of  our  fa- 
thers '?

ously, and  an  abomination  is  com- 
rnitted  in  Is-ra-6l  and  in  Je-ru-

scholar,  out  of  the  tabernacles  of 
Ja-cOb,  ^and  him  that  offereth  an 
offering  unto  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

13  And  this  have  ye  done  again,

tears,  with  weeping,  and  with  cry- 
ing out,  insomuch  that  he  regard-

in:  behold,  ^he  shall  come,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts.

his  coming*?  and  ®who  shall  stand 
when  he  appeareth  *?  for  ’’he  is  like

and  purifier  of  silver : and  he  shall 
purify  the  sons  of  LeWi,  and  purge 
them  as  gold  and  silver,  that  they 
may  offer  unto  the  Lord  an  offer- 
ing in  righteousness. 

4  Then  shall  the  offering  of  Ju- 
dah and  Je-ru-sa-lem  be  pleasant 
unto  the  Lord,  as  in  the  days  of 
old,  and  as  in  ® former  years. 

5  And  I will  come  near  to  you 
to  judgment ; and  I will  be  a swift 
witness  against  the  sorcerers,  and 
against  the  adulterers,  ‘^and  against 
false  swearers,  and  against  those 
that  ^oppress  the  hireling  in  his 
wages,  the  widow,  and  the  father- 
less, and  that  turn  aside  the  stran- 
ger from  his  right,  and  fear  not

not;  therefore  ye  sons  of  Ja-e5b

Wherein  have  we  robbed  thee*? 

®In  tithes  and  offerings. 

9 Ye  are  cursed  with  a curse : for 
ye  have  robbed  me,  even  this  whole 
nation. 

10  *=  Bring  ye  all  the  tithes  into 
^ the  storehouse,  that  there  may  be 
meat  in  mine  house,  and  prove  me 
now  herewith,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  if  I will  not  open  you  the 
•''windows  of  heaven,  and  ^'pour^ 
you  out  a blessing,  that  tJ^re  shall 
not  he  room  enougn  to  receive  it. 

1 1 And  I will  rebuke ''the  devourer 
for  your  sakes,  and  he  shall  not 
^destroy  the  fruits  of  your  ground  ; 
neither  shall  your  vine  cast  her 
fruit  before  the  time  in  the  field, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

1 2 And  all  nations  shall  call  you 
blessed : for  ye  shall  be  % delight- 
some land,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

13  H ’"Your  words  have  been  stout 
against  me,  saith  the  Lord.  Yet 
ye  say.  What  have  we  spoken  so 
much  against  thee^ 

14  "Ye  have  said.  It  is  vain  to 
serve  God : and  what  profit  is  it 
that  we  have  kept  ®his  ordinance, 
and  that  we  have  walked  ’'mourn- 
fully before  the  Lord  of  hosts  *? 

15  And  now  *we  call  the  proud 
happy;  yea,  they  that  work  wick- 
edness *are  set  up;  yea,  they  that 
“tempt  God  are  even  delivered. 

16  11  Then  they  "^that  feared  the 
Lord  ^ spake  often  one  to  another: 
and  the  Lord  hearkened,  and  heard 
it,  and  "a  book  of  remembrance  was 
written  before  him  for  them  that 
feared  the  Lord,  and  that  thought 
upon  his  name. 

17  And  “they  shall  be  mine,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  in  that  day  when 
I make  up  my  ''jewels;^  and  ‘’I  will 
spare  them,  as  a man  spareth  his 
own  son  that  serveth  him. 

18  ®Then  shall  ye  return,  and  dis- 
cern between  the  righteous  and  the 
wicked,  between  him  that  serveth 
God  and  him  that  serveth  him  not.

from  the  carrying  away  into  Bab- 
y-Ion unto  Christ  are  fourteen 
generations. 

18  U Now  the  * birth  of  JAsus 
Christ  was  on  this  wise:  When 
as  his  mother  Ma-ry  was  espoused 
to  Jo-s6ph,  before  they  eame  to- 
gether, she  was  found  with  child 
'^of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

19  Then  Jo-seph  her  husband,  be- 
ing a just  man.,  and  not  willing  ^to 
make  her  a publick  example,  was 
minded  to  put  her  away  privily. 

20  But  while  he  thought  on  these 
things,  behold,  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  appeared  unto  him  in  a dream, 
saying,  Jo-seph,  thou  son  of  Da' 
via,  fear  not  to  take  unto  thee 
Ma-ry  thy  wife : ""for  that  which  is 
^conceived  in  her  is  of  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

21  ^And  she  shall  bring  forth  a 
son,  and  thou  shalt  call  his  name 
‘•^JE-BES:  for  ""he  shall  save  his 
people  from  their  sins. 

22  Now  all  this  was  done,  that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken 
of  the  Lord  by  the  prophet,  saying, 

23  ® Behold,  a virgin  snail  be  with 
child,  and  shall  bring  forth  a son, 
and  ^they  shall  call  his  name  Eiii- 
man-u-el,  which  being  interpreted 
is,  God  with  us. 

24  Then  J o-seph  being  raised  from 
sleep  did  as  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
had  bidden  him,  and  took  unto 
him  his  wife : 

25  And  knew  her  not  till  she  had 
brought  forth  ^'her  firstborn  son: 
and  he  called  his  name  JE-^ES. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 The  wise  men  are  directed  to  Christ  by  a star.  14  Joseph 
fleeth.  16  Herod  slayeth  the  ehildren. 

IVTOW  when  ^'Je-sus  was  born  in 
ly  BethJ6-h6m  of  Ju-dse-a  in  the 
days  of  Her-5d  the  king,  behold, 
there  came  wise  men  ®from  the 
east  to  JAru-sa-l6m, 

2 Saying,  ^ Where  i^he  that  is 
born  King  of  the  Jew^*?  for  we 
have  seen  ®his  star  in  the  east, 
and  are  come  to  worship  him. 

3 When  H6r-5d  the  king  had  heard 
these  things,  he  was  troubled,  and 
all  Je-ru-sa-l6m  with  him. 

4 And  when  he  had  gathered  all 
•^the  chief  priests  and  ^scribes  of 
the  people  together,  *he  demanded 


Visit  of  the  vnse  men. 


St.  MATTHEW,  3. 


John^s  preaching. 


of  them  where  -Christ  should  be 
born. 

5 And  they  said  unto  him,  In  Beth- 
le-hem  of  Ju-dse-a : for  thus  it  is 
■written  by  the  prophet, 

6 ‘^And  thou  Bethde-hem,  in  the 
land  of  Ju-da,  art  not  the  least 
among  the  princes  of  J u-da : for 
out  of  thee  shall  come  a Governor, 
*that  shall  ^rule  mv  people  Is-ra-el. 

7 Then  Her-Od,  when  he  had  priv- 
ily called  the  wise  men,  enquired 
of  them  diligently  what  time  the 
star  appeared. 

8 And  he  sent  them  to  Bethde-hem, 
and  said,  Go  and  search  diligently 
for  the  young  child ; and  when  ye 
have  found  him,  bring  me  word 
again,  that  I may  come  and  worship 
him  also. 

9 When  they  had  heard  the  king, 
they  departed;  and,  lo,  the  star, 
which  they  saw  in  the  east,  went 
before  them,  till  it  came  and  stood 
over  where  the  young  child  was. 

10  when  they  saw  the  star,  they 
rejoiced  with  exceeding  great  joy. 

11  U And  when  they  were  come 
into  the  house_,  they  saw  the  young 
child  with  Ma-ry  his  mother,  and 
fell  down,  and  worshipped  him: 
and  when  they  had  opened  their 
treasures,  •'^they  ^presented  unto 
him  gifts ; gold,  and  frankincense, 
and  myrrh. 

12  And  being  warned  of  God  *in  a 
dream  that  they  should  not  return 
to  Her-Od,  they  departed  into  then- 
own  country  another  way. 

1 3 And  when  they  were  departed, 
behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peareth  to  Jo-§eph  in  a dream,  say- 
ing, Arise,  and  take  the  young  child 
and  his  mother,  and  flee  into  E-gypt, 
and  be  thou  there  until  I bring  thee 
word : for  Her-6d  will  seek  the 
young  child  to  destroy  him. 

14  When  he  arose,  he  took  the 
young  child  and  his  mother  by 
night,  and  departed  into  E-gypt : 

15  And  was  there  until  the  death 
of  Her-Od : that  it  might  be  fulfilled 
which  was  spoken  of  the  Lord  by 
the  prophet,  saying,  ‘Out  of  E-gypt 
have  I called  my  son. 

16  H Then  Her-Od,  when  he  saw 
that  he  was  mocked  of  the  wise 
men,  was  exceeding  wroth,  and 
sent  forth,  and  slew  all  the  chil- 
dren that  were  in  Bethde-hem,  and 
in  all  the  coasts  thereof,  from  two 
years  old  and  under,  according  to 
the  time  which  he  had  diligently 
enquired  of  the  wise  men. 

17  Then  was  fulfilled  that  which 
was  spoken  by  *J6r-6-my  the  pro- 
phet, saying,

and  great  mourning,  Ea-chel  weep- 
ing for  her  children,  and  would  not 
be  comforted,  because  they  are  not. 

1 9 H But  when  Her-5d  was  dead, 
behold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peareth  in  a dream  to  Jo-seph  in 
E-gypt, 

20  Saying,  Arise,  and  take  the 
young  child  and  his  mother,  and 
go  into  the  land  of  Is-ra-el : for  they

21  And  he  arose,  and  took  the 
young  child  and  his  mother,  and 
came  into  the  land  of  Is-rAel. 

22  But  when  he  heard  that  Ar-eh6-

afraid  to  go  thither : notwithstand- 
ing, being  warned  of  God  in  a 
dream,  he  turned  aside  ‘^into  the 
parts  of  Gal-i-lee:

city  called  ^ Naz-a-reth : that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  * which  was

1 John  preacheth : his  office,  life,  and  baptism.  13  He 
baptizefh  Christ  in  Jordan. 

IN  those  days  came  ^John  the 
Bap-tist,  preaching  ^in  the  wil- 
derness of  Ju-dse-a, 

2  And  saying,  Eepent  ye : for  *the 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  at  hand. 

3  For  this  is  he  that  was  spoken 
of  by  the  prophet  E-sa-ias,  saying, 
‘The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wil- 
derness, Prepare  ye  the  way  of  the 
Lord,  make  his  paths  straight. 

4  And  ”the  same  J6hn  "had  his 
raiment  of  camel’s  hair,  and  a lea- 
thern girdle  about  his  loins;  and 
his  meat  was  ^locusts  and  ®wild 
honey. 

5  ^Then  went  out  to  him  Je-ru-

7  H But  when  he  saw  many  of  the 
Phar-i-sees  and  SM^du-gees  come 
to  his  baptism,  he  said  unto  them, 
“O  generation  of  vipers,  who  hath

to  the  root  of  the  trees  : “therefore 
every  tree  which  bringeth  not  forth 
good  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast 
into  the  fire. 

11  indeed  baptize  you  with 
water  unto  repentance : but  he  that 
cometh  after  me  is  mightier  than 
I,  whose  shoes  I am  not  worthy  to 
bear : ®he  shall  baptize  you  with  the

have  need  to  be  baptized  of  thee, 
and  comest  thou  to  me”? 

15  And  Je-sus  answering  said  unto 
him.  Suffer  it  to  he  so  now  : for  thus 
it  becometh  us  to  fulfil  all  righteous- 
ness. Then  he  suffered  him.

1 Christ  fasteth,  and  is  tempted.  17  He  beginneth  to  preach, 
18  calleth  Peter  and  Andrew,  21  James  and  John,  23  and 
healeth  all  the  diseased. 

Then  was  “Je-sus  led  up  of  *the 
spirit  into  the  wilderness  to  be 
tempted  of  the  devil. 

2  And  when  he  had  fasted  forty 
days  and  forty  nights,  he  was  after- 
ward an  hungred. 

3  And  when  the  tempter  came  to 
him,  he  said,  If  thou  be  the  Son  of 
God,  command  that  these  stones  be 
made  bread. 

4  But  he  answered  and  said,  It 
is  written,  ®Man  shall  not  live  by 
bread  alone,  but  by  every  word 
that  proceedeth  out  of  the  mouth 
of  God. 

5  Then  the  devil  taketh  him  up 
“^into  the  holy  city,  and  setteth  him 
on  a pinnacle  of  the  temple, 

6  And  saith  unto  him,  If  thou  be 
the  Son  of  God,  cast  thyself  down  : 
for  it  is  written,  -^He  shall  give  his 
angels  charge  concerning  thee  : and 
in  their  hands  they  shall  bear  thee 
up,  lest  at  any  time  thou  dash  tliy 
foot  against  a stone. 

7  J e-sus  said  unto  him.  It  is  writ-

the  Lord  thy  God.

9 And  saith  unto  mm.  All  these 
things  will  I give  thee,  it  thou  wilt 
fall  down  and  worship  me. 

10  Then  saith  Je-sus  unto  him. 
Get  thee  hence,  Sa-tan : for  it  is 
written,  ‘^Thou  shalt  worship  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  him  only  shalt 
thou  serve. 

11  Then  the  devil  leaveth  him, 
and,  behold,  -^angels  came  and  min- 
istered unto  him. 

12  H '‘Now  when  Je-siis  had  heard 
that  John  was  ^cast  into  prison,  he 
departed  into  Gal-i-lee ; 

13  And  leaving  Naz-a-reth,  he 
came  and  dwelt  in  -Ca-per-na-um, 
which  is  upon  the_  sea  coast,  in  the 
borders  of  Zab-u-l5n  and  Neph- 
tha-lim : 

14  That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  by  E-sa-ias  the  prophet, 
saying, 

15  ’“The  land  of  Zab-u-l5n,  and  the 
land  of  Neph-tha-lim,  by  the  way  of 
the  sea,  beyond  J6r-dan,  Gal-i-lee  of 
the  Gen-tiles ; 

16  “The  people  which  sat  in  dark- 
ness saw  great  light ; and  to  them 
which  sat  in  the  region  and  shadow 
of  death  light  is  sprung  up. 

17  U ’’From  that  time  Je-sus  be- 
gan to  preach,  and  to  say,  ‘'Re- 
pent : for  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  at  hand. 

18  U *And  Je-sus,  walking  by  the 
sea  of  Gal-i-lee,  saw  two  brethren, 
Sl-m5n  ^called  Pe-ter,  and  An-dr^ 
his  brother,  casting  a net  into  the 
sea  : for  they  were  fishers. 

1 9 And  he  saith  unto  ^em.  Follow 
me,  and  H will  make  you  fishers  of 
men. 

20  “And  they  straightway  left  their 
nets,  and  followed  him. 

21  '’And  going  on  from  thence, 
he  saw  other  two  brethren,  James 
the  son  of  Z6b-g-dee,  and  John  his 
brother,  in  a ship  with  Z6b-6-dee 
their  father,  mending  their  nets; 
and  he  called  them. 

22  And  they  immediately  left  the 
ship  and  their  father,  and  followed 
him. 

23  ^ And  Je-siis  went  alDout  all 
Gal-i-lee,  ® teaching  in  their  syna- 
gogues, and  preaching  ^the  gospel 
of  the  kingdom,  ^and  healing  all 
manner  of  sickness  and  all  manner 
of  disease  among  the  people. 

24  And  his  fame  went  throughout 
all  Syr-i-a : and  they  brought  unto 
him  all  sick  people  that  were  taken 
with  divers  diseases  and  torments, 
and  those  which  were  possessed

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Christ  heginneth  his  sermon  in  the  mount:  Z declaring 
who  are  blessed,  13  who  are  the  salt  of  the  earth,  14  the 
light  of  the  world,  the  city  on  an  hill,  15  the  candle: 
17  that  he  came  to  fulfil  the  law.  21  IVhat  it  is  to  kill, 
27  to  commit  adultery,  33  to  swear : 38  exhorteth  to  suffer 
wrong,  44  to  love  even  our  enemies,  48  and  to  labour  after 
perfectness. 

AND  seeing  the  multitudes,  ‘^he 
XX  went  up  into  a mountain : 
and  when  he  was  set,  his  disciples 
came  unto  him : 

2 And  he  opened  his  mouth,  and 
taught  them,  saying, 

3 ^ Blessed  are  the  poor  in  spirit : for 
their’s  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

4 Blessed  are  they  that  mourn: 
for  they  shall  be  comforted. 

5 * Blessed  are  the  meek  : for  they 
shall  inherit  the  earth. 

6 Blessed  are  they  which  do  hun- 
ger and  thirst  after  righteousness  : 
"‘for  they  shall  be  filled. 

7 Blessed  are  the  merciful : "for 
they  shall  obtain  mercy. 

8 "Blessed  are  the  pure  in  heart: 
for  -^they  shall  see  God. 

9 Blessed  are  the  peacemakers : 
for  they  shall  be  called  the  children 
of  God. 

10  "Blessed  are  they  which  are  per- 
secuted for  righteousness’  sake : for 
their’s  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

11  * Blessed  are  ye,  when  men 
shall  revile  you,  and  persecute  you, 
and  shall  say  all  manner  of  ""evil 
against  you  ^falsely,  for  my  sake. 

12  ^'Bejoice,  and  be  exceeding  glad : 
for  great  is  your  reward  in  heaven : 
for  ^so  persecuted  they  the  prophets 
which  were  before  you. 

13  ^ Ye  are  the  salt  of  the  earth : 
"but  if  the  salt  have  lost  his  savour, 
wherewith  shall  it  be  salted'?  it  is 
thenceforth  good  for  nothing,  but 
to  be  cast  out,  and  to  be  trodden 
under  foot  of  men. 

14  "Ye  are  the  light  of  the  world. 
A city  that  is  set  on  an  hill  cannot 
be  hia. 

15  Neither  do  men  "light  a candle, 
and  put  it  under  ®a  bushel,  but  on 
a candlestick ; and  it  giveth  light 
unto  all  that  are  in  the  house. 

16  Let  your  light  so  shine  before 
men,  '‘that  they  may  see  your  good 
works,  and  ‘glorify  your  Father 
which  is  in  heaven.

destroy  the  law,  or  the  prophets :

I am  not  come  to  destroy,  but  to 
fulfil. 

18  For  verily  I say  unto  you,  "Till 
heaven  and  earth  pass,  one  jot  or 
one  tittle  shall  in  no  wise  pass  from 
the  law,  till  all  be  fulfillecL 

19  "Whosoever  therefore  shall 
break  one  of  these  least  command- 
ments, and  shall  teach  men  so,  he 
shall  be  called  the  least  in  the  king- 
dom of  heaven : but  whosoever 
shall  do  and  teach  them,  the  same 
shall  be  called  great  in  the  kingdom 
of  heaven. 

20  For  I say  unto  you,  That  except 
your  righteousness  shall  exceed  ^the 
righteousness  of  the  scribes  and 
Phar4-sees,  ye  shall  in  no  case  en- 
ter into  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

2 1 ^ Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said 
^by  them  of  old  time,  •''Thou  shalt 
not  kill;  and  whosoever  shall  kill 
shall  be  in  danger  of  the  judg- 
ment : 

22  But  I say  unto  you.  That  Who- 
soever is  angry  with  his  brother 
without  a cause  shall  be  in  danger 
of  the  judgment:  and  whosoever 
shall  say  to  his  brother,  'Ea^a,^ 
shall  be  in  danger  of  the  council: 
but  whosoever  shall  say.  Thou  fool, 
shall  be  in  danger  of  hell  fire. 

23  Therefore  if  thou  bring  thy  gift 
to  the  altar,  and  there  rememberest 
that  thy  brother  hath  ought  against 
thee ; 

24  « Leave  there  thy  gift  before 
the  altar,  and  go  thy  way;  first 
be  reconciled  to  thy  brother,  and 
then  come  and  offer  thy  gift. 

25  ^ Agree  with  thine  adversary 
quickly,  “whiles  thou  art  in  the  way 
with  him ; lest  at  any  time  the  ad- 
versary deliver  thee  to  the  judge, 
and  the  judge  deliver  thee  to  the 
officer,  and  thou  be  cast  into  prison. 

26  Verily  I say  unto  thee.  Thou 
shalt  by  no  means  come  out  thence, 
till  thou  hast  paid  the  uttermost 
farthing. 

27  Ye  have  heard  that  it  was 
said  by  them  of  old  time,  ''Thou 
sbalt  not  commit  adultery: 

28  But  I say  unto  you.  That  who- 
soever ‘'looketh  on  a woman  to  lust 
after  her  hath  committed  adultery 
with  her  already  in  his  heart. 

29  -^And  if  thy  right  eye  '‘  offend 
thee,  ^'pluck  it  out,  and,  cast  it  from 
thee : for  it  is  profitable  for  thee 
that  one  of  thy  members  should 
perish,  and  not  that  thy  whole  body 
should  be  cast  into  hell. 

30  And  if  thy  right  hand  offend 
thee,  cut  it  off,  and  cast  it  from 
thee : for  it  is  profitable  for  thee 
that  one  of  thy  members  should

perish,  and  not  tn-t  thy  whole  body 
should,  be  cast  into  hell. 

31  It  hath  been  said,  “Whosoever 
shall  put  away  his  wife,  let  him 
give  her  a writing  of  divorcement : 

32  But  I say  unto  you,  That  *who- 
soever  shall  put  away  his  wife, 
saving  for  the  cause  of  fornication, 
causeth  her  to  commit  adultery: 
and  whosoever  shall  marry  her  that 
is  divorced  committeth  adultery. 

33  H Again,  ye  have  heard  that 
‘^it  hath  been  said  by  them  of  old 
time,  ®Thou  shalt  not  forswear  thy- 
self, but  shalt  perform  unto  the 
Lord  thine  oaths : 

34  But  I say  unto  you,  ^ Swear 
not  at  all ; neither  by  heaven ; for 
it  is  '‘God’s  throne: 

35  hTor  by  the  earth;  for  it  is  his 
footstool:  neither  by  Je-ru-sa-lem; 
for  it  is  Hhe  city  of  the  great  King. 

36  Neither  shalt  thou  swear  by 
thy  head,  because  thou  canst  not 
make  one  hair  white  or  black. 

37  *But  let  your  communication 
be,  Yea,  y^^;  Nay,  nay:  for  what- 
soever is  more  than  these  cometh 
of  evil. 

38  H Ye  have  heard  that  it  hath 
been  said,  "‘An  eye  for  an  eye,  and 
a tooth  for  a tooth : 

39  But  I say  unto  you,  " That  ye 
resist  not  evil:  ^ but  whosoever  shall 
smite  thee  on  thy  right  cheek,  turn 
to  him  the  other  also. 

40  And  if  any  man  will  sue  thee 
at  the  law,  and  take  away  thy  coat, 
let  him  have  thy  cloke  also. 

41  And  whosoever  “shall  compel 
thee  to  go  a mile,  go  with  him 
twain. 

42  Give  to  him  that  asketh  thee, 
and  *from  him  that  would  borrow 
of  thee  turn  not  thou  away.  ^ 

43  51  Ye  have  heard  that  it  hath 
been  said,  “Thou  shalt  love  thy 
neighbour,  and  hate  thine  enemy. 

44  But  I say  unto  you,  ^Love 
your  enemies,  bless  them  that  curse 
you,  do  good  to  them  that  hate  you, 
and  pray  ‘^for  them  which  despite- 
fully  use  you,  and  persecute  you ; 

45  That  ye  may  be  the  children 
of  your  Father  which  is  in  heaven : 
for  ^he  maketh  his  sun  to  rise  on  the 
evd  and  on  the  good,  and  sendeth 
rain  on  the  just  and  on  the  unjust. 

46  * For  if  ye  love  them  which  love 
you,  what  reward  have  ye*?  do  not 
even  the  publicans  the  same 

47  And  if  ye  salute  your  brethren 
only,  what  do  ye  more  than  others  ? 
do  not  even  the  publicans  so  '2 

48  “Be  ye  therefore  perfect,  even 
^as  your  Father  which  is  in  heaven 
is  perfect.

1 Christ  continueth  his  sermon  in  the  mount,  speaking  oj 
alnfis,  5 prayer,  14  forgiving  our  brethren,  16  fasting, 
19  where  our  treasure  is  to  be  laid  up,  24  of  serving  God, 
amd  mammon:  25  exhhrteth  not  to  be  careful  for  worldly 
things. 

Take  heed  that  ye  do  not  your 
^.alms  before  men,  to  be  seen 
of  them : otherwise  ye  have  no  re- 
ward ^of  your  Father  which  is  in 
heaven. 

2  Therefore ‘’when  thou  doest  thine 
alms,  ^do  not  sound  a trumpet  be- 
fore thee,  as  the  hypocrites  do  in 
the  synagogues  and  in  the  streets, 
that  they  may  have  glory  of  men. 
Verily  I say  unto  you.  They  have 
their  reward. 

3  But  when  thou^  doest  alms,*  let 
not  thy  left  hand  know  what  thy 
right  hand  doeth: 

4  That  thine  alms  may  be  in 
secret:  and  thy  Father  which  seeth 
in  secret  himself  ^ shall  reward  thee 
openly. 

5  ^ And  when  thou  prayest,  thou 
shalt  not  be  as  the  hypocrites  are: 
for  they  love  to  pray  standing  in 
the  synagogues  and  in  the  corners 
of  the  streets,  that  they  may  he 
seen  of  men.  Verily  I say  unto 
you.  They  have  their  reward. 

6  But  thou,  when  thou  prayest, 
" enter  into  thy  closet,  and  when 
thou  hast  shut  thy  door,  pray  to 
thy  Father  which  is  in  secret ; and 
thy  Father  which  seeth  in  secret 
shall  reward  thee  openly. 

7  But  when  ye  pray,  ^lise  not  vain 
repetitions,  as  the  heathen  do:  "for 
they  think  that  they  shall  be  heard 
for  their  much  speaking. 

8  not  ye  therefore  like  unto 
them:  for  your  Father  knoweth 
what  things  ye  have  need  of,  be- 
fore ye  ask  him. 

9  After  this  manner  therefore 
pray  ye:  ’'Our  Father  which  art 
in  heaven.  Hallowed  be  thy  name. 

10  Thy  kingdom  come.  “Thy  will 
be  done  in  earth,  ^as  it  is  in  heaven. 

11  Give  us  this  day  our  ‘’daily 
bread. 

12  And  ^forgive  us  our  debts,  as 
we  forgive  our  debtors. 

13  •''And  lead  us  not  into  temjMa- 
tiqn,  but  ^dehver  us  from  evil : ‘Tor 
thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power, 
and  the  glqry,  for  ever.  A-m6n'. 

14  Tor  if  ye  forgive  men  their 
trespasses,  your  heavenly  Father 
will  also  forgive  you  : 

15  But  "‘if  ye  forgive  not  men 
their  trespasses,  neither  will  your 
Father  forgive  your  trespasses. 

16  U Moreover  "when  ye  fast,  be 
not,  as  the  hypocrites,  of  a sad 
countenance : for  they  disfigure 


Christ’s  sermon

their  faces,  that  they  may  appear 
unto  men  to  fast.  Verily  I say 
unto  you,  They  have  their  reward. 

17  But  thou,  when  thou  fastest, 
^anoint  thine  head,  and  wash  thy 
face; 

18  That  thou  appear  not  unto 
men  to  fast,  but  unto  thy  Father 
which  is  in  secret:  and  thy  Father, 
which  seeth  in  secret,  shall  reward 
thee  openly. 

19  U “Lay  not  up  for  yourselves 
treasures  upon  earth,  where  moth 
and  rust  doth  corrupt,  and  where 
thieves  break  through  and  steal : 

20  ‘^But  lay  up  for  yourselves 
treasures  in  heaven,  where  neither 
moth  nor  rust  doth  corrupt,  and 
where  thieves  do  not  break  through 
nor  steal : 

21  For  where  your  treasure  is, 
there  will  your  heart  be  also. 

22  ^ The  light  of  the  body  is  the 
eye : if  therefore  thine  eye  be  single, 
thy  whole  body  shall  be  full  of 
light. 

23  But  if  thine  eye  be  evil,  thy 
whole  body  shall  be  full  of  dark- 
ness. If  therefore  the  light  that  is 
in  thee  be  darkness,  how  great  is 
that  darkness ! 

24  H *No  man  can  serve  two  mas- 
ters : for  either  he  will  hate  the 
one,  and  love  the  other ; or  else  he 
will  hold  to  the  one,  and  despise 
the  other.  *Ye  cannot  serve  Grod 
and  mammon. 

25  Therefore  I say  unto  you,  *Take 
no  thought  for  your  life,  what  ye 
shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink; 
nor  yet  for  your  body,  what  ye  shall 
put  on.  Is  not  the  life  more  than 
meat,  and  the  body  than  raiment'! 

26  “Behold  the  fowls  of  the  air : 
for  they  sow  not,  neither  do  they 
reap,  nor  gather  into  barns;  yet 
your  heavenly  Father  feedeth  them. 
Are  ye  not  much  better  than  they'! 

27  Which  of  you  by  taking  thought 
can  add  one  cubit  unto  his  stature'! 

28  And  why  take  ye  thought  for 
raiment '!  Consider  the  lilies  of  the 
field,  how  they  grow ; they  toil  not, 
neither  do  they  spin : 

29  And  yet  I say  unto  you.  That 
even  S6l-6-m5n  in  all  his  glory  was 
not  arrayed  like  one  of  these. 

30  Wherefore,  if  God  so  clothe  the 
grass  of  the  field,  which  to  day  is, 
and  to  morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven, 
shall  he  not  much  more  clothe  you, 
O ye  of  little  faith  1 

^ 3l  Therefore  take  no  thought  say- 
ing, What  shall  we  eat'!  or.  What 
shall  we  drink'!  or.  Wherewithal 
shall  we  be  clothed!

CHAPTER  7. 

1 Christ  ending  his  sermon  in  the  mount,  reproveth  rash 
judgment,  6 forbiddeth  to  cast  holy  things  to  dogs,  7 ex- 
horteth  to  prayer,  13  to  enter  in  at  the  strait  gate,  15  to 
beware  of  false  prophets,  21  to  be  doers  of  the  word : 24 
like  houses  builded  on  a rock,  26  amd  not  on  the  sand. 

JUDGE  “not,  that  ye  be  not 
judged. 

2  For  with  what  judgment  ye 
judge,  ye  shall  be  judged:  •''and 
with  what  measure  ye  mete,  it 
shall  be  measured  to  you  again. 

3  ^And  why  beholdest  thou  the 
mote  that  is  in  thy  brother’s  eye, 
but  considerest  not  the  beam  that 
is  in  thine  own  eye ! 

4  Or  how  wilt  thou  say  to  thy  bro- 
ther, Let  me  pull  out  the  mote  out 
of  thine  eye ; and,  behold,  a beam  is 
in  thine  own  eye ! 

5  Thou  hypocrite,  first  cast  out 
the  beam  out  of  thine  own  eye; 
and  then  shalt  thou  see  clearly 
to  cast  out  the  mote  out  of  thy 
brother’s  eye. 

6  H "'Give  not  that  which  is  holy 
unto  the  dogs,  neither  cast  ye  your 
pearls  before  swine,  lest  they  tram- 
ple them  under  their  feet,  and  turn 
again  and  rend  you. 

7  ^ ”Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you  • 
seek,  and  ye  shall  find ; knock,  and 
it  shall  be  opened  unto  you  : 

8  For  p every  one  that  asketh  re- 
ceiveth ; and  he  that  seeketh  find- 
eth ; and  to  him  that  knocketh  it 
shall  be  opened. 

9  ?Or  what  man  is  there  of  you, 
whom  if  his  son  ask  bread,  will  he 
give  him  a stone! 

10  Or  if  he  ask  a fish,  will  he  give 
him  a serpent ! 

11  If  ye  then,  being  evil,  know 
how  to  give  good  gifts  unto  your 
children,  how  much^  more  shall 
your  Father  which  is  in  heaven 
give  good  things  to  them  that  ask 
him! 

12  Therefore  all  things  * whatso- 
ever ye  would  that  men  should  do 
to  you,  do  ye  even  so  to  them  : for 
Hhis  is  the  law  and  the  prophets. 

13  U **  Enter  ye  in  at  the  strait 
gate : for  wide  is  the  gate,  and 
broad  is  the  way,  that  leadeth  to

destruction,  and  many  there  be 
which  go  in  thereat : 

14  ^Because  strait  is  the  gate,  and 
narrow  is  the  way,  which  leadeth 
unto  life,  and  few  there  be  that 
find  it. 

15  H * Beware  of  false  prophets, 

® which  come  to  you  in  sheep’s 
clothing,  but  inwardly  they  are 

ravening  wolves. 

16  ®Ye  shall  know  them  by  their 
fruits.  ^Do  men  gather  grapes  of 
thorns,  or  figs  of  thistles'? 

17  Even  so  * every  good  tree  bring- 
eth  forth  good  fruit ; but  a corrupt 
tree  bringeth  forth  evil  fruit. 

18  A good  tree  cannot  bring  forth 
evil  fruit,  neither  can  a corrupt  tree 
bring  forth  good  fruit. 

19  ^ Every  tree  that  bringeth  not 
forth  good  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and 
cast  into  the  fire. 

20  Wherefore  by  their  fruits  ye 
shall  know  them. 

21  U Not  every  one  that  saith  unto 
me,  ""Lord,  Lord,  shall  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  heaven ; but  he  that 
doeth  the  will  of  my  Father  which 
is  in  heaven. 

22  Many  will  say  to  me  in  that 
day,  Lord,  Lord,  have  we  ^npt 
prophesied  in  thy  name '?  and  in 
thy  name  have  cast  out  devils'? 
and  in  thy  name  done  many  won- 
derful works '? 

23  And  ^then  will  I profess  unto 
them,  I never  knew  you : "'depart 
from  me,  ye  that  work  iniquity. 

24  51  Therefore  * whosoever  heareth 
these  sayings  of  mine,  and  doeth 
them,  I will  liken  him  unto  a wise 
man,  which  built  his  house  upon  a 
rock ; 

25  And  the  rain  descended,  and 
the  floods  came,  and  the  winds 
blew^  and  beat  upon  that  house: 
and  it  fell  not ; for  it  was  founded 
upon  a rock. 

26  And  every  one  that  heareth 
these  sayings  of  mine,  and  doeth 
them  not,  shall  be  likened  unto  a 
foolish  man,  which  built  his  house 
upon  the  sand : 

27  And  the  rain  descended,  and 
the  floods  came,  and  the  winds  blew, 
and  beat  upon  that  house ; and  it 
fell : and  great  was  the  fall  of  it. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  J e-sus 
had  ended  these  sayings,  “the  people 
were  astonished  at  his  doctrirle  : 

29  * For  he  taught  them  as  one  hav- 
ing authority,  and  not  as  the  scribes.

Luke  4.  40.  41. 


WHEN  he  was  come  down  from 
the  mountain,  great  multi- 
tudes followed  him. 

2  “And,  behold,  there  came  a leper 
and  worshipped  him,  saying.  Lord, 
if  thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make  me 
clean. 

3  And  Je-siis  put  forth  hand, 
and  touched  him,  saying,  I will ; be 
thou  clean.  And  immediately  his 
leprosy  was  cleansed. 

4  And  Je-§us  saith  unto  him,  ^See 
thou  tell  no  man  ; but  go  thy  way, 
shew  thyself  to  the  priest,  and  offer 
the  gift  that  "Mo-ses  commanded, 
for  a testimony  unto  them. 

5  H *And  when  Je-siis  was  entered 
into  -Ga-per-na-um,  there  came  unto 
him  a centurion,  beseeching  him, 

6  And  saying.  Lord,  my  servant 
lieth  at  home  sick  of  the  palsy, 
grievously  tormented. 

7  And  Je-siis  saith  unto  him,  I will 
come  and  heal  him. 

8  The  centurion  answered  and  said. 
Lord,  "*I  am  not  worthy  that  thou 
shouldest  come  under  my  roof : but 
“speak  the  word  only,  and  my  serv- 
ant shall  be  healed. 

9  For  I am  a man  under  authority, 
having  soldiers  under  me : and  I 
say  to  this  man,  Go,  and  he  goeth ; 
and  to  another.  Come,  and  he  com- 
eth;  and  to  my  servant.  Do  this, 
and  he  doeth  it. 

10  When  Je-§iis  heard  it,  he  mar- 
velled, and  said  to  them  that  fol- 
lowed. Verily  I say  unto  you,  I haye 
not  found  so  great  faith,  no,  not  in 
Is-ra-el. 

i 1 And  I say  unto  you.  That  *many 
shall  come  from  the  east  and  west, 
and  shall  sit  down  with  A-bra-ham, 
and  I-saac,  and  Ja-cOb,  in  the  king- 
dom of  heaven. 

12  But  “the  children  of  the  king- 
dom * shall  be  cast  out  into  outer 
darkness : there  shall  be  weeping 
and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

13  And  Je-siis  said  unto  the  centu- 
rion, Go  thy  way ; and  as  thou  hast 
believed,  so  be  it  done  unto^  thee. 
And  his  servant  was  healed  in  the 
selfsame  hour. 

14 11  ^And  when  Je-siis  was  come  in- 
to Pe-ter’s  house,  he  saw  ^his  wife’s 
mother  laid,  and  sick  of  a fever. 

15  And  he  touched  her  hand,  and 
the  fever  left  her:  and  she  arose, 
and  ministered  unto  them. 

16  II  “When  the  even  was  come, 
they  brought  unto  him  many  that 
were  possessed  with  devils  : and  he 
cast  out  the  spirits  with  his  word, 
and  healed  all  that  were  sick  : 

1 7  That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  by  E-sa-ias  the  prophet,

saying,  “Himself  took  our  infirmi- 

ties, and  bare  our  sicknesses. 

18  ^ Now  when  Je-stis  saw  great 
multitudes  about  him,  he  gave  com- 
mandment to  depart  unto  the  other 
side. 

19  ®And  a certain  scribe  came,  and 
said  unto  him,  Master,  I will  follow 
thee  whithersoever  thou  goest. 

20  And  Je-sus  saith  unto  him.  The 
foxes  have  holes,  and  the  birds  of 
the  air  have  nests ; but  the  Son  of 
man  hath  not  where  to  lay  his  head. 

21  -^And  another  of  his  disciples 
said  unto  him.  Lord,  ^sufifer  me  first 
to  go  and  bury  my  father. 

22  But  Je-sus  said  unto  him.  Fol- 
low me ; and  let  the  dead  bury  their 
dead. 

23  U And  when  he  was  entered  in- 
to a ship,  his  disciples  followed  him. 

24  *Ajid,  behold,  there  arose  a 
great  tempest  in  the  sea,  insomuch 
that  the  ship  was  covered  with  the 
waves  : but  ne  was  asleep. 

25  And  his  disciples  came  to  him, 
and  awoke  him,  saying,  Lord,  save 
us : we  perish. 

26  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Wliy 
are  ye  fearful,  O ye  of  little  faith  1 
Then  %e  arose,  and  rebuked  the 
winds  and  the  sea ; and  there  was 
a great  calm. 

27  But  the  men  marvelled,  saying. 
What  manner  of  man  is  this,  that 
even  the  winds  and  the  sea  obey  him! 

28  U ”^And  when  he  was  come  to 
the  other  side  into  the  country  of 
the  Ger-ge-senes',  there  met  him  two 
possessed  with  devils,  coming  out 
of  the  tombs,  exceeding  fierce,  so 
that  no  man  might  pass  by  that 
way. 

29  An(L  behold,  they  cried  out, 
saying.  What  have  we  to  do  with 
thee,  Je-sus,  thou  Son  of  God^  art 
thou  come  hither  to  torment  us 
before  the  timel 

30  And  there  was  a good  way  off 
from  them  an  herd  of  many  swine 
feeding. 

31  So  the  devils  besought  him,  say- 
ing, If  thou  cast  us  out,  suffer  us  to 
go  away  into  the  herd  of  swine. 

32  And  he  said  unto  them.  Go. 
And  when  they  were  come  out, 
they  went  into  the  herd  of  swine : 
and,  behold,  the  whole  herd  of 
swine  ran  violently  down  a steep 
place  into  the  sea,  and  perished  in 
the  waters. 

33  And  they  that  kept  them  fled, 
and  went  their  ways  into  the  city, 
and  told  every  thing,  and  what  was 
befallen  to  the  possessed  of  the 
devils. 

34  And,  behold,  the  whole  city

2 Christ  cureth  one  sick  of  the  palsy,  9 calleth  Matthew,  10 

eateth  with  publicans  and  sinners,  14  defendeth  his  dis- 
ciples for  rwt  fasting,  20  cureth  the  bloody  issue,  23  raiseth

AND  he  entered  into  a ship,  and 
passed  over,  ‘^and  came  into  his 
own  city. 

2 ®And,  behold,  they  brought  to 
him  a man  sick  of  the  palsy,  lying 
on  a bed : ^and  Je-siis  seeing  their 
faith  said  unto  the  sick  of  the  palsy ; 
Son,  be  of  good  cheer ; thy  sms  be 
forgiven  thee. 

3 And,  behold,  certain  of  the 
scribes  said  within  themselves.  This 
man  blasphemeth. 

4 And  Je-stis  * knowing  their 
thoughts  said.  Wherefore  think  ye 
evil  in  your  hearts  % 

5 For  whether  is  easier,  to  say. 
Thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee ; or  to 
say.  Arise,  and  walk'? 

6 But  that  ye  may  know  that  the 
Son  of  man  hath  power  on  earth  to 
f9rgive  sins,  (then  saith  he  to  the 
sick  of  the  palsy,)  Arise,  take  up 
thy  bed,  and  go  unto  thine  house. 

7 And  he  arose,  and  departed  to 
his  house. 

8 But  when  the  multitudes  saw  it, 
they  marvelled,  and  glorified  God, 
which  had  given  such  power  unto 
men. 

9 U ”And  as  Je-siis  passed  forth 
from  thence,  he  saw  a man,  named 
Mat-thew,  sitting  at  the  receipt  of 
custom : and  he  saith  unto  liim. 
Follow  me.  And  he  arose,  ana 
followed  him. 

10  H "And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Je- 
siis  sat  at  meat  in  the  house,  behold, 
many  publicans  and  sinners  came 
and  sat  down  with  him  and  his 
disciples. 

11  And  when  the  PhaFi-sees  saw 
it,  they  said  unto  his  disciples,  _Why 
eateth  your  Master  with  ^'publicans 
and  ^ sinners  ? 

12  But  when  Je-siis  heard  that,  he 
said  unto  them.  They  that  be  whole 
need  not  a physician,  but  they  that 
are  sick. 

13  But  go  ye  and  learn  what  that 
meaneth,  ""I  will  have  mercy,  and 
not  sacrifice : for  I am  not  come  to 
call  the  righteous,  *but  sinners  to 
repentance. 

14  ^ Then  came  to  him  the  dis- 
ciples of  John,  saying,  ^Why  do  we 
and  the  Phar4-sees  fast  oft,  but  thy 
disciples  fast  not '? 

15  And  Je-siis  said  unto  them.  Can

mourn,  as  long  as  the  bridegroom 

is  with  them]  but  the  days  will 
come,  when  the  bridegroom  shall 
be  taken  from  them,  and  ^then 
shall  they  fast. 

16  No  man  putteth  a piece  of  ^new 
cloth  unto  an  old  garment,  for  that 
which  is  put  in  to  fill  it  up  taketh 
from  the  garment,  and  the  rent  is 
made  worse. 

^ 17  Neither  do  men  put  new  wine 
into  old  bottles : else  the  bottles 
break,  and  the  wine  runneth  out, 
and  the  bottles  perish : but  they  put 
new  wine  into  new  bottles,  and  both 
are  preserved. 

18  H ® While  he  spake  these  things 
unto  them,  behold,  there  came  a 
certein  ruler,  and  worshipped  him, 
saying.  My  daughter  is  even  now 
dead : but  come  and  lay  thy  hand 
upon  her,  and  she  shall  live. 

1 9 And  J e-sus  arose,  and  followed 
him,  and  so  did  his  disciples. 

20  H ^ And,  behold,  a woman,  which 
was  diseased  with  an  issue  of  blood 
twelve  years,  came  behind  him,  and 
touched  the  hem  of  his  garment : 

21  For  she  said  within  herself.  If 
I may  but  touch  his  garment,  I shall 
be  whole. 

22  But  Je-siis  turned  him  about, 
and  when  he  saw  her,  he  said. 
Daughter,  be  of  good  comfort ; ^ thy 
faith  hath  made  thee  whole.  And 
the  woman  was  made  whole  from 
that  hour. 

23  ”And  when  Je-§us  came  into 
the  ruler’s  house,  and  saw  "the 
minstrels  and  the  people  making 
a noise, 

24  He  said  unto  them,  ^Give  place : 
for  the  maid  is  not  dead,  but  sleep- 
Bth.  And  they  laughed  him  to 
scorn. 

25  But  when  the  people  were  put 
forth,  he  went  in,  and  took  her  by 
the  hand,  and  the  maid  arose. 

26  And  ^the  fame  hereof  went 
abroad  into  all  that  land. 

27  H And  when  Je-stis  departed 
thence,  two  blind  men  followed 
him,  crying,  and  saying,  * Thou  son 
of  Da-vid,  have  mercy  on  us. 

28  And  when  he  was  come  into 
the  house,  the  blind  men  came  to 
him : and  Je-§us  saith  unto  them. 
Believe  ye  that  I am  able  to  do 
thisi  They  said  unto  him.  Yea, 
Lord. 

29  Then  touched  he  their  eyes, 
saying.  According  to  your  faith  be 
it  unto  you. 

30  And  their  eyes  were  opened ; 
and  Je-sus  straitly  charged  them, 
saying  *See  that  no  man  know  it.

32  .H  ® As  they  went  out,  behold, 
they  brought  to  him  a dumb  man 
possessed  with  a devil. 

33  And  when  the  devil  was  cast 
out,  the  dumb  spake  : and  the  mul- 
titudes marvelled,  saying.  It  was 
never  so  seen  in  Is-ra-6l. 

34  But  the  Phar-i-sees  said,  "He 
casteth  out  devils  through  the  prince 
of  the  devils. 

35  ‘^And  Je-siis  went  about  all  the 
cities  and  villages,  teaching  in  their 
synagogues,  and  preaching  the  gos- 
pel of  the  kingdom,  andf  healing 
every  sickness  and  every  disease 
among  the  people. 

36  ^ -^But  when  he  saw  the  mul- 
titudes, he  was  moved  with  com- 
passion on  them,  because  they 
■■^fainted,  and  were  scattered  abroad, 
^as  sheep  having  no  shepherd. 

37  Then  saith  he  unto  his  disciples, 
* The  harvest  truly  is  plenteous,  but 
the  labourers  are  few  ; 

38  * Pray  ye  therefore  the  Lord  of 
the  harvest,  that  he  will  send  forth 
labourers  into  his  harvest.

gave  them  power  ^against  unclean 
spirits,  to  cast  them  out,  and  to  heal 
all  manner  of  sickness  and  all  man-

13  ®And  if  the  house  be  worthy, 
let  your  peace  come  upon  it : ^ but 
if  it  be  not  worthy,  let  your  peace 
return  to  you. 

14  ^And  whosoever  shall  not  re-

when  ye  depart  out  of  that  house

be  more  tolerable  for  the  land  of 
S5d-5m  and  G6-m6rh‘ha  in  the  day 
of  judgment,  than  for  that  city. 

16  ""Behold,  I send  you  forth  as

ye  therefore  wise  as  serpents,  and

20  *For  it  is  not  ye  that  speak,

26  Fear  them  not  therefore : ‘"for 

there  is  nothing  covered,  that  shall 
not  be  revealed ; and  hid,  that  shall 
not  be  known. 

27  What  I tell  you  in  darkness,

upon  the  housetops. 

28  ‘'And  fear  not  them  which  kill

Christas  testimony 


St.  MATTHEW,  11,  12. 


concerning  John 


CHAPTER  11. 

2 John  sendeth  his  disciples  to  Christ.  7 Christ's  testimony 
concerning  John.  \%  The  opinion  of  the  people.  2Q  ChHst 
uphraideth  the  wnthankfulness  and  impenitence  of  Cho- 
razin,  Bethsaida,  and  Capernaum:  25  and  praising  his 
Father's  wisdom,  in  remealing  the  gospel  to  the  simple,  28 
he  calleth  to  him  all  such  as  feel  the  burden  of  their  sins. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  Je-sus 
j\.  had  made  an  end  of  command- 
ing his  twelve  disciples,  he  departed 
thence  to  teach  and  to  preach  in 
their  cities. 

2 ‘^Nqw  when  John  had  heard  ^in 
the  prison  the  works  of  -Christ,  he 
sent  two  of  his  disciples, 

3 And  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  -^he 
that  should  come,  or  do  we  look  for 
another  ? 

4 Je-sus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Go  and  shew  John  again  those 
things  which  ye  do  hear  and  see  : 

5 *The  blind  receive  their  sight, 
and  the  lame  walk,  the  lepers  are 
cleansed,  and  the  deaf  hear,  the 
dead  are  raised  up,  and  *the  poor 
have  the  gospel  preached  to  them. 

6 And  blessed  is  he,  whosoever 
shall  not  ^^be  offended  in  me. 

7 U ”And  as  they  departed,  Je-sus 
began  to  say  unto  the  multitudes 
concerning  J Ohn,  What  went  ye  out 
into  the  wilderness  to  see  1 ® A reed 
shaken  with  the  wind  % 

8 But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see  1 
A man  clothed  in  soft  raiment  % be- 
hold, they  that  wear  soft  clothing 
are  in  kings’  houses. 

9 But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see  1 
A prophet?  yea,  1 say  unto  you, 
*and  more  than  a prophet. 

10  For  this  is  he,  of  whom  it  is 
written,  “Behold,  I send  my  mes- 
senger before  thy  face,  which  shall 
prepare  thy  way  before  thee. 

11  Verily  I say  unto  you.  Among 
them  that  are  born  of  women  there 
hath  not  risen  a greater  than  J5hn 
the  Bap-tist:  notwithstanding  he 
that  is  least  in  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  greater  than  he. 

12  *And  from  the  days  of  J5hn 
the  Bap-tist  until  now  the  kingdom 
of  heaven  ^suffereth  violence,  and 
bhe  violent  take  it  by  force. 

13  *’For  all  the  prophets  and  the 
(aw  prophesied  until  John. 

14  And  if  ye  will  receive  it,  this 
is  *E-li-as.  which  was  for  to  come. 

15  ^He  that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let 
him  hear. 

16  H ^But  whereunto  shall  I liken 
this  generation?  It  is  like  unto 
children  sitting  in  the  markets,  and 
calling  unto  their  fellows, 

17  And  saying.  We  have  piped 
unto  you,  and  ye  have  not  danced ; 
we  have  mourned  unto  you,  and  ye 
have  not  lamented.

18  For  John  came  neither  eating 
nor  drinking,  and  they  say,  He 
hath  a devil. 

19  The  Son  of  man  came  eating 
and  drinking,  and  they  say.  Behold 
a man  gluttonous,  and  a wine- 
bibber,  “a  friend  of  publicans  and 
sinners.  /“But  wisdom  is  justified 
of  her  children. 

20  U “Then  began  he  to  upbraid  the 
cities  wherein  most  of  his  mighty 
works  were  done,  because  they  re- 
pented not : 

21  Woe  unto  thee^-GhO-ra-zin  ! woe 
unto  thee,  Beth-sa4-da ! for  if  the 
mighty  works,  which  were  done  in 
you,  had  been  done  in  Tyre  and 
Si-dOn,  they  would  have  repented 
long  ago  ^in  sackcloth  and  ashes. 

22  But  I say  unto  you,  '^It  shall  be 
more  tolerable  for  Tyre  and  Si-d5n 
at  the  day  of  judgment,  than  for 
you. 

23  And  thou,  Ga-per-na-iim,  ^ which 
art  exalted  unto  heaven,  shalt  be 
brought  down  to  hell : for  if  the 
mighty  works,  which  have  been 
done  in  tbee,  had  been  done  in 
S5d-5m,  it  would  have  remained 
until  this  day. 

24  But  I say  unto  you,  ^That  it 
shall  be  more  tolerable  for  the  land 
of  S5d-5m  in  the  day  of  judgment, 
than  for  thee. 

25  U ^Atthat  time  Je-§us  answered 
and  said,  I thank  thee,  O Father, 
Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  because 
’‘tbou  hast  hid  these  things  from 
tbe  wise  and  prudent,  *and  hast 
revealed  them  unto  babes. 

26  Even  so.  Father : for  so  it 
seemed  good  in  thy  sight. 

27  *A11  things  are  delivered  unto 
me  of  my  Father : and  no  man 
knoweth  the  Son,  but  the  Father ; 
^neither  knoweth  any  man  the 
Father,  save  the  Son,  and  he  to 
whomsoever  the  Son  will  reveal 
him. 

28  U Come  unto  me,  all  ye  that 
labour  and  are  heavy  laden,  and  I 
will  give  you  rest. 

29  Take  my  yoke  upon  you,  “and 
learn  of  me;  for  I am  meek  and 
“lowly  in  heart : ‘^and  ye  shall  find 
rest  unto  your  souls. 

30  •^For  my  yoke  is  easy,  and  my 
burden  is  light. 

CHAPTER  12. 

1 Christ  reproveth  the  blindness  of  the  Pharisees  concern- 
ing the  sabbath.  22  He  healeth  the  man  possessed  that 
was  blind  and  dumb.  31  Of  blasphemy  against  the  Holy 
Ghost,  36  and  of  idle  words.  38  Be  rebuketh  the  unfaith- 
ful, &c. 

AT  that  time  *Je-§us  went  on  the 
sabbath  day  through  the  corn ; 
and  his  disciples  were  an  hungred. 


Christ  reproveth  St.  MATTHEW,  12. the  Pharisees. 


and  began  to  pluck  the  ears  of  corn, 
and  to  eat. 

2 But  when  the  Phar4-see§  saw  'it, 
they  said  unto  him.  Behold,  thy  dis- 
ciples do  that  which  is  not  lawful 
to  do  upon  the  sabbath  day. 

3 But  ne  said  unto  them.  Have  ye 
not  read  “what  Da-vid  did,  when 
he  was  an  hungred,  and  they  that 
were  with  him ; 

4 How  he  entered  into  the  house 
of  God,  and  did  eat  Hhe  shewbread, 
which  was  not  lawful  for  him  to  eat, 
neither  for  them  which  were  with 
him.  ‘^but  only  for  the  priests  1 

5 Or  have  ye  not  reaa  in  the  ®law, 
how  that  on  the  sabbath  days  the 
priests  in  the  temple  profane  the 
sabbath,  and  are  blameless  1 

6 But  I say  iinto  you,  That  in 
this  place  is  ^one  greater  than  the 
temple. 

7 But  if  ye  had  known  what  this 
meaneth,  H will  have  mercy,  and 
not  sacrifice,  ye  would  not  have 
condemned  the  guiltless. 

8 For  the  Son  of  man  is  Lord  even 
of  the  sabbath  day. 

9 *And  when  he  was  departed 
thence,  he  went  into  their  syna- 
gogue : 

ion  And,  behold,  there  was  a man 
which  had  his  hand  withered.  And 
they  asked  him,  saying,  Hs  it  lawful 
to  heal  on  the  sabbath  days  1 that 
they  might  accuse  him. 

11  And  he  said  unto  them,  What 
man  shall  there  be  among  you,  that 
shall  have  one  sheep,  and  "if  it 
fall  into  a pit  on  the  sabbath  day, 
will  he  not  lay  hold  on  it,  and  lift 
it  out  1 

1 2 How  much  then  is  a man  better 
than  a sheep  1 Wherefore  it  is  law- 
ful to  do  well  on  the  sabbath  days. 

13  Then  saith  he  to  the  man. 
Stretch  forth  thine  hand.  And  he 
stretched  it  forth ; and  it  was  re- 
stored whole,  like  as  the  other. 

14  ^ Then  ’’the  Phar4-sees  went 
out,  and  ^held  a council  against  him, 
how  they  might  destroy  him. 

15  But  when  Je-sus  knew  it,  “he 
withdrew  himself  from  thence : 
*and  great  multitudes  followed 
him,  and  he  healed  them  all ; 

16  And  ^charged  them  that  they 
should  not  make  him  known  : 

1 7 That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  by  E-sa-ias  the  prophet, 
saying, 

18  “Behold  my  servant,  whom  I 
have  chosen ; my  beloved,  ®in  whom 
my  soul  is  well  pleased : I will  put 
my  si)irit  upon  him,  and  he  shall 
shew  judgment  to  the  Ggn-tiles. 

19  He  ^all  not  strive,  nor  cry;

Every  kingdom  divided^  against 
itself  is  brought  to  desolation  ; and 
every  city  or  house  divided  against

to them.  An  evil  and  ® adulterous 
generation  seeketh  after  a sign ; and 
there  shall  no  sign  be  given  to  it, 
but  the  sign  of  the  prophet  Jo-nas  : 

40  ^For  as  Jo-nas  was  three  days 
and  three  nights  in  the  whale’s

CHAPTER  13. 

3 The  parable  of  the  sower  and  the  seed  : 18  the  expositifm . 
24  The  parable  of  the  tares,  31  of  the  mustard  seed,  33  of 
the  leaven,  44  of  the  hidden  treasure,  45  of  the  pearl, 
47  of  the  dravmet.  53  Christ  is  contemned  of  his  own 
countrymen. 

The  same  day  went  Je-§iis  out  of 
the  house,  ‘’and  sat  by  the  sea 
side. 

2  ‘*And  great  multitudes  were 
gathered  together  unto  him,  so 
mat  •'^he  went  into  a ship,  and  sat ; 
and  the  whole  multitude  stood  on 
the  shore. 

3  And  he  spake  many  things  unto 
them  in  parables,  saying,  ^ Behold, 
a sower  went  forth  to  sow  ; 

4  And  when  he  sowed,  some  seeds 
fell  by  the  way  side,  and  the  fowls 
came  and  devoured  them  up  : 

5  Some  fell  upon  stony  places, 
where  they  had  not  much  earth: 
and  forthwith  they  sprung  up,  be- 
cause they  had  no  deepness  of 
earth : 

6  And  when  the  sun  was  up,  they 
were  scorched ; and  because  they 
had  no  root,  they  withered  away. 
7 And  some  fell  among  thorns: 
and  the  thorns  sprung  up,  and 
choked  them : 

8  But  other  fell  into  good  ground, 
and  brought  forth  fruit,  some  “an 
hundredfold,  some  sixtsdold,  some 
thirty  fold. 

9  «Who  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him 
hear. 

10  And  the  disciples  came,  and 
said  unto  him.  Why  speakest  thou 
unto  them  in  parables '? 

11  He  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Because  "it  is  given  unto  you 
to  know  the  mysteries  of  the  king- 
dom of  heaven,  but  to  them  it  is 
not  given. 

12  *For  whosoever  hath,  to  him 
shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have 
more  abundance  : but  whosoever 
hath  not,  from  him  shall  be  taken 
away  even  that  he  hath. 

13  Therefore  speak  I to  them  in 
parables ; because  they  seeing  see 
not : and  hearing  they  hear  not, 
neither  do  they  understand. 

14  And  in  them  is  fulfilled  the 
prophecy  of  E-sa-ias,  which  saith, 
^By  hearing  ye  shall  hear,  and 
shall  not  understand ; and  seeing 
ye  shall  see,  and  shall  not  perceive : 
15  For  this  people’s  heart  is  waxed 
gross,  and  their  ears  ^are  dull  of 
hearing,  and  their  eyes  they  have 
closed ; lest  at  any  time  they  should 


13 


Parable  of  the  sower, 

see  with  their  eyes  and  hear  with 
their  ears,  and  should  understand 
with  their  heart,  and  should  be 
converted,  and  I should  heal  them. 

16  But  “blessed  are  your  eyes,  for 
they  see:  and  your  ears,  for  they 
hear. 

17  For  verily  I say  unto  you, 
‘^That  many  prophets  and  right- 
eous men  have  desired  to  see  those 
things  which  ye  see,  and  have  not 
seen  them ; and  to  hear  those  things 
which  ye  hear,  and  have  not  heard 
them. 

18  U ®Hear  ye  therefore  the  par- 
able of  the  sower. 

19  When  anjr  one  heareth  the 
word  -^of  the  kingdom,  and  under- 
standeth  it  not,  then  cometh  the 
wicked  one,  and  catcheth  away 
that  which  was  sown  in  his  heart. 
This  is  he  which  received  seed  by 
the  way  side. 

20  But  he  that  received  the  seed 
into  stony  places,  the  same  is  he 
that  heareth  the  word,  and  anon 
* with  joy  receiveth  it ; 

21  Yet  hath  he  not  root  in  him- 
self, but  dureth  for  a while : for 
when  tribulation  or  persecution 
ariseth  because  of  the  word,  by 
and  by  ”"he  is  offended. 

22  ”He  also  that  received  seed 
"among  the  thorns  is  he  that  hear- 
eth the  word ; and  the  care  of  this 
world,  and  the  deceitfulness  of 
riches,  choke  the  word,  and  he  be- 
cometh  unfruitful. 

23  But  he  that  received  seed  into 
the  good  ground  is  he  that  heareth 
the  word,  and  understandeth  it ; 
which  also  heareth  fruit,  and  bring- 
eth  forth,  some  an  hundredfold, 
some  sixty,  some  thirty. 

24  U Another  parable  put  he  forth 
unto  them,  saying.  The  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  likened  unto  a man  which 
sowed  good  seed  in  his  field  : 

25  But  while  men  slept,  his  enemy 
came  and  sowed  tares  among  the 
wheat,  and  went  his  way. 

26  But  when  the  blade  was  sprung 
up,  and  brought  forth  fruit,  then 
appeared  the  tares  also. 

27  So  the  servants  of  the  house- 
holder came  and  said  unto  him, 
Sir,  didst  not  thou  sow  good  seed 
in  thy  field*?  from  whence  then 
hath  it  tares'? 

28  He  said  unto  them,  An  enemy 
hath  done  this.  The  servants  said 
unto  him.  Wilt  thou  then  that  we 
go  and  gather  them  up  ? 

29  But  he  said.  Nay;  lest  while 
ye  gather  up  the  tares,  ye  root  up 
also  the  wheat  with  them. 

30  Let  both  grow  together  until 


Parable  of  the  leaven, 

the  harvest  : and  in  the  time  of 
harvest  I will  say  to  the  reapers. 
Gather  ye  together  first  the  tares, 
and  bind  them  in  bundles  to  burn 
them : but  * gather  the  wheat  into 
my  barn. 

31  H Another  i)arable  put  he  forth 
unto  them,  saying,  "The  kingdom 
of  heaven  is  like  to  a grain  of  mus- 
tard seed,  which  a man  took,  and 
sowed  in  his  field : 

32  Which  indeed  is  the  least  of 
all  seeds : but  when  it  is  grown,  it 
is  the  greatest  among  herbs,  and 
becometh  a tree,  so  that  the^  birds 
of  the  air  come  and  lodge  in  the 
branches  thereof. 

33  H ^Another  parable  spake  he 
unto  them ; The  kingdom  of  heav- 
en is  like  unto  leaven,  which  a 
woman  took,  and  hid  in  three 
^measures  of  meal,  till  the  whole 
was  leavened. 

34  ^All  these  things  spake  Je-sus 
unto  the  multitude  in  parables; 
and  without  a parable  spake  he 
not  unto  them: 

35  That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  by  the  prophet,  saying, 

will  open  my  mouth  in  parables; 
H will  utter  things  which  have  been 
kept  secret  from  the  foundation  of 
the  world. 

36  Then  Je-sfis  sent  the  multitude 
away,  and  went  into  the  house : and 
his  disciples  came  unto  him,  saying, 
Declare  unto  us  the  parable  of  the 
tares  of  the  field. 

37  He  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  He  that  soweth  the  good 
seed  is  the  Son  of  man ; 

38  ^The  field  is  the  world;  the 
good  seed  are  the  children  of  the 
kingdom ; but  the  tares  are  ®the 
children  of  the  wicked  one; 

39  The  enemy  that  sowed  them  is 
the  devil ; ’"the  harvest  is  the  end 
of  the  world ; and  the  reapers  are 
the  angels. 

40  As  therefore  the  tares  are  ga- 
thered and  burned  in  the  fire;  so 
shall  it  be  in  the  end  of  this  world. 

41  The  Son  of  man  shall  send  forth 
his  angels,  *and  they  shall  gather  out 
of  his  kingdom  all  Hhings  that  of- 
fend, and  them  which  do  iniquity; 

42  "And  shall  cast  them  into  a 
furnace  of  fire:  “there  shall  be 
wailing  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

43  *Then  shall  the  righteous  shine 
forth  as  the  sun  in  the  kingdom 
of  their  Father.  ^^Who  hath  ears  to 
hear,  let  him  hear. 

44  IT  Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  like  unto  treasure  hid  in  a field ; 
the  which  when  a man  hath  found, 
he  hideth,  and  for  joy  thereof  goeth

45  H Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  like  unto  a merchant  man,  seek- 
ing goodly  pearls : 

46  Who,  when  he  had  found  ‘^one 
pearl  of  great  price,  went  and  sold 
all  that  he  had,  and  bought  it. 

47  ^ Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  like  unto  a net,  that  was  cast  into 
the  sea,  and  ^gathered  of  every  kind: 

48  which,  when  it  was  full,  they 
drew  to  shore,  and  sat  down,  and 
gathered  the  good  into  vessels,  but 
cast  the  bad  away. 

49  So  shall  it  be  at  the  end  of  the 
world  : the  angels  shall  come  forth, 
and  f sever  the  wicked  from  among 
the  just, 

50  *^And  shall  cast  them  into  the 
furnace  of  fire : there  shall  be  wail- 
ing and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

51  Je-sus  saith  unto  them,  Have 
ye  understood  all  these  things '? 
They  say  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord. 

52  Then  said  he  unto  them,  There- 
fore every  scribe  which  is  instructed 
unto  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like 
unto  a man  that  is  an  householder, 
which  bringeth  forth  out  of  his 
treasure  ^things  new  and  old. 

53  H And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  Je-sus  had  finished  these  par- 
ables, he  departed  thence. 

54  ^And  when  he  was  come  into 
his  own  country,  he  taught  them  in 
their  synagogue,  insomuch  that  they 
were  astonished,  and  said.  Whence 
hath  this  man  this  wisdom,  and 
these  mighf^y  works  1

nm/n  all  these  things  % 

57  And  the^  ’‘were  offended  in 
him.  But  Je-sus  said  unto  them, 
^A  prophet  is  not  without  honour, 
save  in  his  own  country,  and  in  his 
own  house. 

58  And  ‘he  did  not  many  mighty

J 5hn,  and  bound  him,  and  put  him 
in  prison  for  HS-ro-di-as’  sake,  his 
brother  Phil-ip’s  wife. 

4 For  John  said  unto  him.  °It  is 
not  lawful  for  thee  to  have  her. 

5 And  when  he  would  have  put 
him  to  death,  he  feared  the  inulti- 
tude,  ® because  they  counted  him  as 
a prophet. 

6 But  when  HSr-bd’s  birthday  was 
kept,  the  daughter  of  He-ro-di-as 
danced  ^before  them,  and  pleased 
Her-5d. 

7 Whereupon  he  promised  with 
an  oath  to  give  her  whatsoever  she 
would  ask. 

8 And  she,  being  before  instructed 
of  her  mother,  said,  Give  me  here 
J5hn  Bap-tist’s  head  in  a charger. 

9 And  the  king  was  sorry : never- 
theless for  the  oath’s  sake,  and  them 
which  sat  with  him  at  meat,  he 
commanded  it  to  be  given  her. 

10  And  he  sent,  and  beheaded 
John  in  the  prison. 

1 1 And  his  head  was  brought  in  a 
charger,  and  given  to  the  damsel : 
and  she  brought  it  to  her  mother. 

1 2 And  his  disciples  came,  and  took 
up  the  body,  and  Buried  it,  and  went 
and  told  Je-sus. 

13  H ^When  Je-siis  heard  of  it, 
he  departed  thence  by  ship  into  a 
desert  place  apart : and  when  the 
people  had  heard  thereof,  they  fol- 
lowed him  on  foot  out  of  the  cities. 

14  And  Je-sus  went  forth,  and  saw 
a great  multitude,  and  "‘was  moved 
with  compassion  toward  them,  and 
he  healed  their  sick. 

15  11  "And  when  it  was  evening, 
his  disciples  came  to  him,  saying, 
This  is  a desert  place,  and  the  time 
is  now  past;  send  the_  multitude 
away,  that  they  may  go  into  the  vil- 
lages, and  buy  themselves  victuals. 

1 6 But  J e-sus  said  unto  them,  They 
need  not  depart;  give  ye  them  to  eat. 

17  And  they  say  unto  him.  We 
have  here  but  five  loaves,  and  two 
fishes. 

18  He  said,  Bring  them  hither  to 
me. 

1 9 And  he  commanded  the  multi- 
tude to  sit  down  on  the  grass,  and 
took  the  five  loaves,  and  the  two 
fishes,  and  looking  up  to  heaven, 
“he  blessed,  and  brake,  and  gave 
the  loaves  to  his  disciples,  and  the 
disciples  to  the  multitude. 

20  And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were 
filled  : and  they  took  up  of  the  frag- 
ments that  remained  twelve  baskets 
full. 

21  And  they  that  had  eaten  were 
about  five  thousand  men,  beside 
women  and  children.

22  U And  straightway  Je-siis  con- 
strained his  discii)les  to  get  into  a 
ship,  and  to  go  before  him  unto  the 
other  side,  wdiile  he  sent  the  multi- 
tudes away. 

23  “And  when  he  had  sent  the  mul- 
titudes away,  he  went  up  into  a 
mountain  apart  to  pray : ^and  when 
the  evening  was  come,  he  was  there 
alone. 

24  But  the  ship  was  now  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea,  tossed  with  waves : 
for  the  wind  was  contrary. 

25  And  in  the  fourth  watch  of  the 
night  Je-sus  went  unto  them,  walk- 
ing on  the  sea. 

26  And  when  the  disciples  saw 
him  ^ walking  on  the  sea,  they  were 
troubled,  saying.  It  is  a spirit ; and 
they  cried  out  for  fear. 

27  But  straightway  Je-siis  spake 
unto  them,  saying.  Be  of  good 
cheer ; it  is  I ; be  not  afraid. 

28  And  Pe-ter  answered  him  and 
said.  Lord,  if  it  be  thou,  bid  me 
come  unto  thee  on  the  water. 

29  And  he  said.  Come.  And  when 
Pe-ter  was  come  down  out  of  the 
ship,  he  walked  on  the  water,  to  go 
to  Je-sus. 

30  But  when  he  saw  the  wind  ^bois- 
terous, he  was  afraid;  and  begin- 
ning to  sink,  he  cried,  saying.  Lord, 
save  me. 

3 1 And  immediately  J e-stis  stretch- 
ed forth  his  hand,  and  caught  him, 
and  said  unto  him,  O thou  of  little 
faith,  wherefore  didst  thou  doubt  % 

32  And  when  they  were  come  into 
the  ship,  the  wind  ceased. 

33  Then  they  that  were  in  the 
ship  came  and  worshipped  him, 
saying.  Of  a truth  ”thou  art  the 
Son  of  God. 

34  U And  when  they  were  gone 
over,  they  came  into  the  land  of 
G6n-nes-a-ret. 

35  And  when  the  men  of  that  place 
had  knowledge  of  him,  they  sent  out 
into  all  that  country  round  about, 
and  brought  unto  him  all  that  were 
diseased ; 

36  And  besought  him  that  they 
might  only  touch  the  hem  of  his 
garment : and  *as  many  as  touched 
were  made  perfectly  whole.

3 But  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Why  do  ye  also  transgress 
the  commandment  of  God  by  your 
tradition 

4 For  God  commanded,  saying, 

® Honour  thy  father  and  mother: 
and,  ‘^He  that  curseth  father  or 
mother,  let  him  die  the  death. 

5 But  ye  say.  Whosoever  shall  say 
to  his  father  or  his  mother,  ^ It  is 
a gift,  by  whatsoever  thou  mightest 
be  profited  by  me; 

6 And  honour  not  his  father  or 
his  mother,  he  shall  he  free.  Thus 
have  ye  made  the  commandment  of 
God  of  none  effect  by  your  tradition. 

7 Ye  ^hypocrites,  well  did  E-sa-jas 

nigh  unto 
me  with  their  mouth,  and  honour- 
eth  me  with  their  lips;  but  their 
heart  is  far  from  me. 

9 But  in  vain  they  do  worship  me, 
Heaching  for  doctrines  the  com- 
mandments of  men. 

10  *17  *And  he  called  the  multitude, 
and  said  unto  them.  Hear,  and  un- 
derstand : 

11  ^Not  that  which  goeth  into  the 
mouth  defileth  a man  ; but  that 
which  cometh  out  of  the  mouth, 
this  defileth  a man. 

12  Then  came  his  disciples,  and 
said  unto  him,  Knowest  thou  that 
the  Phar-i-sees  were  offended,  after 
they  heard  this  saying  1 

1 3 But  he  answered  and  said, 
"‘Every  plant,  which  my  heavenly 
Father  hath  not  planted,  shall  be 
rooted  up. 

14  Let  them  alone : “they  be  blind 
leaders  of  the  blind.  And  if  the 
blind  lead  the  blind,  both  shall  fall 
into  the  ditch. 

15  « Then  answered  Pe-ter  and  said 
unto  him.  Declare  unto  us  this  par- 
able. 

16  And  Je-§us  said,  "Are  ye  also 
yet  without  understanding  7 

1 7 Do  not  ye  yet  understand,  that 
^whatsoevei’entereth  in  at  the  mouth 
goeth  into  the  belly,  and  is  cast  out 
into  the  draught  % 

1 8 But  “those  things  which  proceed 
out  of  the  mouth  come  forth  from 
the  heart;  and  they  defile  the 


prophesy  of  you,  saying, 
8 '‘This  people  draweth 


3 Christ  reproveth  the  scribes  and  Pharisees:  11  teacheth 
how  that  which  goeth  into  the  mouth  doth  not  defile  a

Canaan,  30  and  other  great  multitudes:  .32  feedethfour

Then  ^came  to  Je-stis  scribes  and 
Phar-i-sees,  which  were  of  Je-

20  These  are  the  things  which 
defile  a man:  but  to  eat  with  un-

A daughter  healed.  

and  departed  into  the  coasts  of 
Tyre  and  Si-d5n. 

22  And,  behold,  a woman  ot  -ba- 
naan  came  out  of  the  same  coasts, 
and  cried  unto  him,  saying.  Have 
mercy  on  me,  O Lord,^  thou  son  ot 
Da-vid ; my  daughter  is  grievously 
vexed  with  a devil. 

23  But  he  answered  her  not  a 
word.  And  his  disciples  came  and 
besought  him,  saying.  Send  her 
away ; for  she  crieth  after  us. 

24  But  he  answered  and  said,  I 
am  not  sent  but  unto  the  lost  sheep 
of  the  house  of  Is-ra-el. 

25  Then  came  she  and  worshipped 
him,  saying.  Lord,  help  mo.  ^ 

26  But  he  answered  and  said.  It 
is  not  meet  to  take  the  children’s 
bread,  and  to  cast  it  to  ‘^dogs. 

27  And  she  said.  Truth,  Lord : yet 
the  dogs  eat  of  the  crumbs  which 
fall  from  their  masters’  table. 

28  Then  Je-siis  answered  and  said 
unto  her,  O woman,  great  is  thy 
faith : be  it  unto  thee  even  as  thou 
wilt.  And  her  daughter  was  made 
whole  from  that  very  hour. 

29  ^And  Je-siis  departed  from 
thence,  and  came  nigh  ^unto  the 
sea  of  Gffi-lee ; and  went  up  into 
a mountain,  and  sat  down  there. 

30  ''And  great  multitudes  came  un- 
to him,  having  with  them  those  that 
were  lame,  blind,  dumb,  maimed, 
and  many  others,  and  cast  them 
down  at  J e%us’  feet ; and  he  healed 
them : 

31  Insomuch  that  the  multitude 

wondered,  when  they  saw  the  dumb 
to  speak,  the  maimed  to  be  whole, 
the  lame  to  walk,  and  the  blind  to 
see : and  they  glorified  the  God  of 
Is-ra-6l.  ^ . 

32  H 'Then  Je-siis  called  his  dis- 
ciples uMto  him,  and  said,  I have 
compassion  on  the  multitude,  be- 
cause they  continue  with  me  now 
three  days,  and  have  nothing  to 
eat : and  I will  not  send  them 
away  fasting,  lest  they  faint  in 
the  way. 

33  ”And  his  disciples  say  unto  him. 
Whence  should  we  have  so  much 
bread  in  the  wilderness,  as  to  fill  so 
great  a multitude  1 

34  And  Je-§iis  saith  unto  them. 
How  many  loaves  have  yel  And 
they  said,  Seven,  and  a few  little 
fishes. 

35  And  he  commanded  the  multi- 
tude to  sit  down  on  the  ground. 

36  And  ^he  took  the  seven  loaves 
and  the  fishes,  and  ®gave  thanks,

CHAPTER  16. 

1 The  Pharisees  require  a sign.  6 Jesus  warnefh  his  dis- 
ciples of  the  leaven  of  the  Pharisees  and  Sadducees.  13 
The  people's  opinion  of  Christ,  16  and  Peter’s  confession  of 
him.  21  Jesus  foresheweth  his  death,  23  reproveth  Peter, 

24  and  admonisheth  those  that  will  follow  him. 

The  “Phar-i-sees  also  with  the 
Sad-du-9ees  came,  and  tempt- 
ing desired  him  that  he  would 
shew  them  a sign  from  heaven. 

2  He  answered  and  said  unto  them. 
When  it  is  evening,  ye  say.  It  will 
be  fair  weather  : for  the  sky  is  red. 

3  And  in  the  morning.  It  will  he 
foul  weather  to  day  : for  the  sky  is 
red  and  lowring.  O ye  hypocrites, 
ye  can  discern  the  face  of  the  sky ; 
but  can  ye  not  discern  the  signs  of 
the  times '? 

4  ^A  wicked  and  adulterous  gen- 
eration seeketh  after  a sign ; and 
there  shall  no  sign  be  given  unto  it, 
but  the  sign  of  the  prophet  Jo-nas. 
And  he  left  them,  and  departed. 

5  And  'when  his  disciples  were 
come  to  the  other  side,  they  had 
forgotten  to  take  bread. 

6  ^ Then  Je-siis  said  unto  them, 
*Take  heed  and  beware  of  the 
leaven  of  the  Phar-i-see§  and  of 
the  Sad-du-9ees. 

7  And  they  reasoned  among  them- 
selves, saying.  It  is  because  we  have 
taken  no  bread. 

8  Which  when  Je-sus  perceived, 
he  said  unto  them,  O ye  of  little 
faith,  why  reason  ye  among  your- 
selves, because  ye  have  brought  no 
bread  1 i i • 

9  "'Do  ye  not  yet  understand,  nei- 
ther remember  the  five  loaves  of 
the  five  thousand,  and  how  many 
baskets  ye  took  upl 
10  ‘’Neither  the  seven  loaves  of  the 
four  thousand,  and  how  many  bas- 
kets ye  took  up  % 

11  How  is  it  that  ye  do  not  un- 
derstand that  I spake  it  not  to  you 
concerning  bread,  that  ye  should 
beware  of  the  leaven  of  the  Phar-i- 
see§  and  of  the  Sad-du-9ees  ^ 

12  Then  understood  they  how  that 
he  bade  them  not  beware  of  the  lea- 
ven of  bread,  but  of  the  doctrine  of 
the  PhS,r4-see§  and  of  the  Sad-du- 
9ees. 

13  H When  Je-§us  came  into  the 


Of  Christas  followers.  St.  MATTHEW,  17.  The  transfigwration. 


coasts  of  Cses-a-re-a  Phi-lip-pi,  he 
asked  his  disciples,  saying,  “Whom 
do  men  say  that  I the  Son  of  man 
am? 

14  And  they  said,  ^Some  say  that 
thou  art  John  the  Bap-tist : some, 
E-li-as ; and  others,  Jer-O-mi-as,  or 
one  of  the  prophets. 

15  He  saith  unto  them,  But  whom 
say  ye  that  I am  1 

16  And  Si-mOn  Pe-ter  answered 
and  said,  ‘^Thou  art  the  -Ghrist,  the 
Son  of  the  living  God. 

17  And  Je-sus  answered  and  said 
unto  him.  Blessed  art  thou,  Si-mOn 
Bar-jo-na : ®for  flesh  and  blood  hath 
not  revealed  it  unto  thee,  but  my 
Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

18  And  I say  also  unto  thee.  That 
^'thou  art  Pe-ter,  and  ^upon  this 
rock  1 will  build  my  church ; and 
Hhe  gates  of  hell  shall  not  prevail 
against  it. 

19  *And  I will  give  unto  thee 
the  keys  of  the  kingdom  of  heaven : 
and  whatsoever  thou  shalt  bind 
on  earth  shall  be  bound  in  heaven  : 
and  whatsoever  thou  shalt  loose  on 
earth  shall  be  loosed  in  heaven. 

20  ^Then  charged  he  his  disciples 
that  they  should  tell  no  man  that 
he  was  J e-siis  the  -Ghrist. 

21  11  From  that  time  forth  began 
J e-siis  Ho  shew  unto  his  disciples, 
how  that  he  must  go  unto  Je-ru-sa- 
lem,  and  suffer  many  things  of  the 
elders  and  chief  priests  and  scribes, 
and  be  killed,  and  be  raised  again 
the  third  day. 

22  Then  PeHer  took  him,  and  be- 
gan to  rebuke  him,  saying,  ^Be  it 
far  from  thee.  Lord : tnis  shall  not 
be  unto  thee. 

23  But  he  turned,  and  said  unto 
PeHer,  Get  thee  behind  me,  “SaHan : 
^thou  art  an  offence  unto  me : for 
thou  savourest  not  the  things  that 
be  of  God,  but  those  that  be  of 
men. 

24  U “Then  said  Je-siis  unto  his 
disciples.  If  any  man  will  come 
after  me,  let  him  deny  himself,  and 
take  up  his  cross,  and  follow  me. 

25  For  ‘^whosoever  will  save  his 
life  shall  lose  it:  and  whosoever 
will  lose  his  life  for  my  sake  shall 
find  it.

CHAPTER  17. 

I Transfiguration  of  Christ.  14  He  healeth  the  lunatick, 

22  foretelleth  his  passion,  24  payeth  tribute. 

AND  ‘'after  six  days  Je-sus  taketh 
PeHer,  James,  and  John  his 
brother,  and  bringeth  them  up  in- 
to an  high  mountain  apart, 

2 And  was  transfigured  before 
them  : and  his  face  did  shine  as  the 
sun,  and  his  raiment  was  white  as 
the  light. 

3 And,  behold,  there  appeared  un- 
to them  Mo-ses  and  E-Ii-as  talking 
with  him. 

4 Then  answered  PeHer,  and  said 
unto  J e-siis,  Lord,  it  is  good  for  us 
to  be  here : if  thou  wilt,  let  us  make 
here  three  tabernacles  ; one  for 
thee,^  and  one  for  Mo'ses,  and  one 
for  E-h-as. 

5 /While  he  yet  spake,  behold,  a 
bright  cloud  overshadowed  them; 
and  behold  a voice  out  of  the  cloud, 
which  said,  This  is  my  belovea 
Son,  "in  whom  I am  well  pleased ; 
‘’hear  ye  him. 

6 «And  when  the  disciples  heard 
it,  they  fell  on  their  face,  and  were 
sore  afraid. 

7 And  Je-siis  came  and  ’'touched 
theru,  and  said.  Arise,  and  be  not 
afraid. 

8 And  when  they  had  lifted  up 
their  eyes,  they  saw  no  man,  save 
Je^iis  only. 

9 And  as  they  came  down  from 
the  mountain,  ^Je-siis  charged  them, 
saying.  Tell  the  vision  to  no  man, 
until  the  Son  of  man  be  risen  again 
from  the  dead. 

10  And  his  disciples  asked  him, 
saying,  '^Why  then  say  the  scribes 
that  E-h-as  must  first  come? 

I I And  J e-sus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  E-h-as  truly  shall  first 
come,  and  Restore  all  things. 

12  *But  I say  unto  you.  That 
E-h-as  is  come  already,  and  they 
knew  him  not,  but  ‘'have  done 
unto  him  whatsoever  they  listed. 
Likewise  ® shall  also  the  Son  of 
man  suffer  of  them. 

1 3 -^Then  the  disciples  understood 
that  he  spake  unto  them  of  Jdhn 
the  BapHist. 

14  U ^And  when  they  were  come 
to  the  multitude,  there  came  to  him 
a certain  man,  kneeling  down  to 
him,  and  saying, 

1 5 Lord,  have  mercy  on  my  son : 
for  he  is  lunatick,  and  sore  vexed : 
for  ofttimes  he  falleth  into  the  fire, 
and  oft  into  the  water.

disciples,  and  they  could  not  cure 

17  Then  Je-sus  answered  and  said, 

0 faithless  arid  perverse  generation, 
how  long  shall  1 be  with  you  1 how 
long  shall  I suffer  you  1 bring  him 
hither  to  me. 

18  And  Je-sus  rebuked  the  devil ; 
and  he  departed  out  of  him:  and 
the  child  was  cured  from  that  very 

hour.  1.  . T T , 

19  Then  came  the  disciples  to  Je- 
sus apart,  and  said,  Why  could  not 
we  cast  him  out  % 

20  And  Je-sus  said  unto  them.  Be- 
cause of  your  unbelief : for  verily 

1 say  unto  you,  If  ye  have  faith  as 
a grain  of  mustard  seed,  ye  shall 
say  unto  this  mountain,  Eemove 
hence  to  yonder  place  ; and  it  shall 
remove ; and  nothing  shall  be  im- 
possible unto  you. 

21  Howbeit  this  kind  goeth  not 
out  but  by  prayer  and  fasting. 

22  ^ _*And  while  they  abode  in 
Gal-i-lee,  Je-stis  said  unto  them, 
The  Son  of  man  shall  be  betrayed 
into  the  hands  of  men : 

23  And  they  shall  kill  him,  and 
the  third  day  he  shall  be  raised 
again.  And  they  were  exceeding 
sorry. 

24  U And  ^when  they  were  come 
to  -Ga-per-na-um,  they  that  received 
^tribute  money  came  to  Pe-ter,  and 
said.  Doth  not  your  master  pay 
tribute  1 

25  He  saith.  Yes.  And  when  he 
was  come  into  the  house,  Je-stis 
prevented  him,  saying.  What  think- 
est  thou,  Si-mbnl  of  whom  do  the 
kings  of  the  earth  take  custom  or 
tribute  1 of  their  own  children,  or 
of  strangers  1 

26  Pe-ter  saith  unto  him.  Of  stran 
gers.  Je-stis  saith  unto  him,  Then 
are  the  children  free. 

27  Notwithstanding,  lest  we  should 
offend  them,  go  thou  to  the  sea,  and 
cast  an  hook,  and  take  up  the  fish 
that  first  cometh  up ; and  when  thou 
hast  opened  his  mouth,  thou  shalt 
find  ^ a piece  of  money : that  take 
and  give  unto  them  for  me  anci 
thee.

3 And  said.  Verily  I say  unto 
you,  “Except  ye  be  converted,  and 
become  as  little  children,  ye  shall 
not  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
heaven. 

4 * Whosoever  theref  ore  shall  hum- 
ble himself  as  this  little  child,  the 
same  is  greatest  in  the  kingdom  of 
heaven. 

5 And  ‘'whoso  shall  receive  one 
such  little  child  in  my  name  re- 
ceiveth  me. 

6 “^But  whoso  shall  offend  one  of 
these  little  ones  which  believe  in 
me,  it  were  better  for  him  that  a 
millstone  were  hanged  about  his 
neck,  and  that  he  were  drowned  in 
the  d^th  of  the  sea. 

7 U Woe  unto  the  world  because  of 
offences  ! for  -^it  must  needs  be  that 
offences  come ; but  ^ woe  to  that 
man  by  whom  the  offence  cometh  ! 

8 ^wherefore  if  thy  hand  or  thy 
foot  offend  thee,  cut  them^  off,  and 
cast  them  from  thee  : it  is  better 
for  thee  to  enter  into  life  halt  or 
maimed,  rather  than  having  two 
hands  or  two  feet  to  be  cast  into 
everlasting  fire. 

9 And  if  thine  eye  offend  thee, 
pluck  it  out,  and  cast  it  from  thee : 
it  is  better  for  thee  to  enter  into 
life  with  one  eye,  rather  than  having 
two  eyes  to  be  cast  into  hell  fire. 

10  Take  heed  that  ye  despise  not 
one  of  these  little  ones ; for  I say 
unto  you.  That  in  heaven  Hheir 
angels  do  always  ""behold  the  face 
of  my  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

11  ”For  the  Son  of  man  is  come 
to  save  that  which  was  lost. 

12  ‘’How  think  ye^  if  a man  have 
an  hundred  sheep,  and  one  of  them 
be  gone  astray,  doth  he  not  leave 
the  ninety  and  nine,  and  goeth  into 
the  mountains,  and  seeketh  that 
which  is  gone  astray 'J 

13  And  if  so  be  that  he  find  it, 
verily  I say  unto  you,  he  rejoiceth 
more  of  that  sheep,  than  of  the 
ninety  and  nine  which  went  not 
astray. 

14  Even  so  it  is  not  the  will  of 
your  Father  which  is  in  heaven, 
that  one  of  these  little  ones  should 
perish. 

15  ^ Moreover  ^’if  thy  brother  shall 
trespass  against  thee,  go  and  tell 
him  his  fault  between  thee  and  him 
alone : if  he  shall  hear  thee,  ® thou 
hast  gained  thy  brother. 

16  But  if  he  will  not  hear  thee, 
then  take  with  thee  one  or  two 
more,  that  in  *the  mouth  of  two  or 
i three  witnesses  every  word  may  be 
I established. 

I 17  And  if  he  shall  neglect  to  hear

them,  tell  it  unto  the  church : but 
if  he  neglect  to  hear  the  church, 
let  him  be  unto  thee  as  an  “heathen 
man  and  a publican. 

18  Verily  I say  unto  you,  * What- 
soever ye  shall  bind  on  earth  shall 
be  bound  in  heaven : and  whatso- 
ever ye  shall  loose  on  earth  shall 
be  loosed  in  heaven. 

19  Again  I say  unto  you.  That  if 
two  of  you  shall  agree  on  earth  as 
touching  any  thing  that  they  shall 
ask,  ®it  shall  be  done  for  them  of 
my  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

20  For  where  two  or  three  are 
gathered  together  in  my  name, 
there  am  I in  the  midst  of  them. 

21  U Then  came  Pe-ter  to  him,  and 
said.  Lord,  how  oft  shall  my  brother 
sin  against  me,  and  I forgive  him '? 
^till  seven  times? 

22  Je-sus  saith  unto  him,  I say 
not  unto  thee.  Until  seven  times: 
*but,  Until  seventy  times  seven. 

23  U Therefore  is  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  likened  unto  a certain  king, 
which  would  take  account  of  his 
servants. 

24  And  when  he  had  begun  to 
reckon,  one  was  brought  unto  him, 
which  owed  him  ten  thousand  Hal- 
ents. 

25  But  forasmuch  as  he  had  not  to 
pay,  his  lord  commanded  him  ’“to 
be  sold,  and  his  wife,  and  children, 
and  all  that  he  had,  and  payment 
to  be  made. 

26  The  servant  therefore  fell  down, 
and  ^worshipped  him,  saying.  Lord, 
have  patience  with  me,  and  I will 
pay  thee  all. 

27  Then  the  lord  of  that  servant 
was  moved  with  compassion,  and 
loosed  him,  and  forgave  him  the 
debt. 

28  But  the  same  servant  went 
out,  and  found  one  of  his  fellow- 
servants,  which  owed  him  an  hun- 
dred Spence  : and  he  laid  hands  on 
hirn,  and  took  him  by  the  throat, 
saying.  Pay  me  that  thou  owest. 

29  And  his  fellowservant  fell  down 
at  his  feet,  and  besought  him, 
saying.  Have  patience  with  me, 
and  I will  pay  thee  all. 

30  And  he  would  not:  but  went 
and  cast  him  into  prison,  till  he 
should  pay  the  debt. 

31  So  when  his  fellowservants  saw 
what  was  done,  they  were  very 
sorry,  and  came  and  told  unto  their 
lord  all  that  was  done. 

32  Then  his  lord,  after  that  he 
had  called  him,  said  unto  him,  O 
thou  wicked  servant,  I forgave  thee  - 
all  that  debt,  because  thou  desir- 
edst  me:

children:  16  instructeth  how  to  attain  eternal  life,  20 
and  how  to  be  perfect,  &c. 

A]S]’D_  it  came  to  pass,  Hhat  when 
J\.  Je-sus  had  finished  these  say- 
ings, he  departed  from  Gal4-lee,  and 
came  into  the  coasts  of  Ju-dse-a  be- 
yond Jor-dan ; 

2 '"And  great  multitudes  followed 
him  ; and  he  healed  them  there. 

3 H The  Phar-i-sees  also  came  unto 
him,  ternpting  him.  and  saying  unto 
him.  Is  it  lawful  for  a man  to  put 
away  his  wife  for  every  cause  1 

4 And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Have  ye  not  read,  * that  he 
which  made  them  at  the  beginning 
made  them  male  and  female, 

5 And  said,  H^or  this  cause  shall  a 
man  leave  father  and  mother,  and 
shall  cleave  to  his  wife : and  they 
twain  shall  be  one  flesh  ? 

6 Wherefore  they  are  no  more 
twain,  but  one  flesh.  What  there- 
fore God  hath  joined  together,  let 
not  man  put  asunder. 

7_They  say  unto  him,  '’Why  did 
Mo-ses  then  command  to  give  a 
writing  of  divorcement,  and  to  put 
her  away  ? 

8 He  saith  unto  them,  Mo-ses  be- 
cause of  the  hardness  of  your  hearts 
suffered  you  to  put  away  your 
wives  : but  from  tlie  beginning  it 
was  not  so. 

9 ^And  I say  unto  you.  Whosoever 
shall  put  away  his  wife,  except  it 
be  for  fornication,  and  shall  marry 
another,  cornmitteth  adultery  : and 
whoso  marrieth  her  which  is  put 
away  doth  commit  adultery. 

10  U His  disciples  say  unto  him, 
^If  the  case  of  the  man  be  so  with 
his  wife,  it  is  not  good  to  marry. 

11  But  he  said  unto  them,  ’’All 
men  cannot  receive  this^  saying, 
save  they  to  whom  it  is  given. 

12  For  there  are  some  eunuchs, 
which  were  so  born  from  their  mo-

unto  him  little  children,  that  he 
should  put  his  hands  on  them,  and 
pray:  and  the  disciples  rebuked 

14  But  Je^tis  said.  Suffer  little 
children,  and  forbid  them  not,  to 
come  unto  me : for  ‘^of  such  is  the

good  but  one,  that  is,  God : but  if 
thou  ^dlt  enter  into  life,  keep  the 
commandments. 

18  He  saith  unto  him.  Which  1 
Je-sus  said,  '‘Thou  shalt  do  no  mur- 
der, Thou  shalt  not  commit  adul- 
tery, Thou  shalt  not  steal.  Thou 
shalt  not  bear  false  witness, 

19  ‘Honour  thy  father  and  thy 
mother : and,  *Thou  shalt  love  thy 
neighbour  as  thyself. 

20  The  young  man  saith  unto 
him.  All  these  things  have  I kept 
from  my  youth  up : what  lack  I 
yet  % 

21  Je-stis  said  unto  him.  If  thou 
wilt  be' perfect,  *go  and  sell  that 
thou  hast,  and  give  to  the  poor,  and 
thou  shalt  have  treasure  in  heaven : 
and  come  and  follow  me. 

22  But  when  the  young  man  heard 
that  saying,  he  went  away  sorrow- 
ful : for  he  had  great  possessions. 

23  H Then  said  Je-stis  unto  his  dis- 
ciples, Verily  I say  unto  you.  That 
"‘a  rich  man  shall  hardly  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

24  And  again  I say  unto  you.  It 
is  easier  for  a camel  to  go  through 
the  eye  of  a needle,  than  for  a rich 
man  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

25  When  his  disciples  heard  it, 
they  were  exceedingly  amazed,  say- 
ing, Who  then  can  be  saved  1 

26  But  Je-stis  beheld  them,  and 
ibaid  unto  them,  With  men  this  is 
impossible;  but ‘‘with  God  all  things 
are  possible. 

27  U "Then  answered  Pe-ter  and 
said  unto  him.  Behold,  ^we  have 
forsaken  all,  and  followed  thee; 
what  shall  we  have  therefore'? 

28  And  Je-stis  said  unto  them. 
Verily  I say  unto  you.  That  ye 
which  have  followed  me,  in  the 
regeneration  when  the  Son  of  man 
shall  sit  in  the  throne  of  his  glory,

CHAPTEB  20. 

1 Chrdst  she'weth  that  God  is  debtor  unto  no  man  : 17  fore- 
telleth  his  passion:  20  teacheth  his  disciples  to  be  lowly; 
30  and  giveth  two  blind  men  their  sight. 

EOR  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
like  unto  a man  that  is  an 
householder,  which  went  out  early 
in  the  morning  to  hire  labourers 
into  his  vineyard. 

2  And  when  he  had  agreed  with 
the  labourers  for  a ^ penny  a day, 
he  sent  them  into  his  vineyard. 

3  And  he  went  out  about  the  third 
hour,  and  saw  others  standing  idle 
in  the  marketplace, 

4  And  said  unto  them ; Go  ye  also 
into  the  vineyard,  and  whatsoever 
is  right  I will  give  you.  And  they 
went  their  way. 

5  Again  he  went  out  about  the 
sixth  and  ninth  hour,  and  did  like- 
wise. 

6  And  about  the  eleventh  hour  he 
went  out,  and  found  others  stand- 
ing idle,  and  saith  unto  them.  Why 
stand  ye  here  all  the  day  idle '? 

7  They  say  unto  him.  Because  no 
man  hath  hired  us.  He  saith  unto 
them.  Go  ye  also  into  the  vineyard ; 
and  whatsoever  is  right,  that  shall 
ye  receive. 

8  So  when  even  was  come,  the  lord 
of  the  vineyard  saith  unto  his  stew- 
ard, Call  the  labourers,  and  give 
them  their  hire,  beginning  from  the 
last  unto  the  first. 

9  And  when  they  came  that  were 
hired  about  the  eleventh  hour,  they 
received  every  man  a penny. 

10  But  when  the  first  came,  they 
supposed  that  they  should  have 
received  more;  and  they  likewise 
received  every  man  a penny. 

1 1  And  when  they  had  received  it, 
they  murmured  against  the  good- 
man  of  the  house, 

12  Saying,  These  last  ^have 
wrought  but  one  hour,  and  thou 
hast  made  them  equal  unto  us, 
which  have  borne  the  burden  and 
heat  of  the  day. 

1 3  But  he  answered  one  of  them, 
and  said.  Friend,  I do  thee  no  wrong: 
didst  not  thou  agree  with  me  for  a 
penny*?  . 

14  Take  that  thine  is,  and  go,>^

way : I will  give  unto  this  last,  even 
as  unto  thee. 

15  *Is  it  not  lawful  for  me  to  do 
what  1 will  with  mine  own^  ‘'Is 
thine  eye  evil,  because  I am  good '? 

16  ‘^So  the  last  shall  be  first,  and 
the  first  last : ®for  many  be  called, 
but  few  chosen. 

17  ^ -^And  Je-siis  going  up  to  JA 
ru-sa-lem  took  the  twelve  disciples 
apart  in  the  way,  and  said  unto 
them, 

18  ^Behold,  we  go  up  to  Je-ru-sd- 
l6m;  and  the  Son  of  man  shall  be 
betrayed  unto  the  chief  priests  and 
unto  the  scribes,  and  they  shall 
condemn  him  to  death, 

19  '‘And  shall  deliver  him  to  the 
Gen-tiles  to  mock,  and  to  scourge, 
and  to  crucify  him : and  the  third 
day  he  shall  rise  again. 

20  U ‘Then  came  to  him  the  mo- 
ther of  *Zeb-6-dee’s  children  with 
her  sons,  worshipi)ing  him,  and  de- 
siring a certain  thing  of  him. 

21  And  he  said  unto  her.  What 
wilt  thou'?  She  saith  unto  him, 
Grant  that  these  my  two  sons  ^may 
sit,  the  one  on  thy  right  hand,  and 
the  other  on  the  left,  in  thy  kingdom. 

22  But  Je-sus  answered  and  said. 
Ye  know  not  what  ye  ask.  Are  ye 
able  to  drink  of  "the  cup  that  I shall 
drink  of,  and  to  be  baptized  with 
^the  baptism  that  I am  baptized 
with  ? They  say  unto  him.  We  are 
able. 

23  And  he  saith  unto  them,  «Ye 
shall  drink  indeed  of  my  cup,  and 
be  baptized  with  the  baptism  that 
I am  baptized  with : but  to  sit  on 
my  right  hand,  and  on  my  left,  is 
not  mine  to  *give,  but  it  shall  he 
given  to  them  for  whom  it  is  pre- 
pared of  my  Father. 

24  “And  when  the  ten  heard  it, 
they  were  moved  with  indignation 
against  the  two  brethren. 

25  But  Je-siis  called  them  unto 
him,  and  said.  Ye  know  that  the 

§rinces  of  the  Gen-tiles  exercise 
ominion  over  them,  and  they  that 
are  great  exercise  authority  upon 
them. 

26  But  4t  shall  not  be  so  among 
you : but  “whosoever  will  be  great 
among  you,  let  him  be  your  min- 
ister ; 

27  ‘^And  whosoever  will  be  chief 
among  you,  let  him  be  your  servant : 
28  ®Even  as  the  -^Son  of  man  came 
not  to  be  ministered  unto,  '‘but  to 
minister,  and  Ho  give  his  life  a 
ransom  *for  many. 

29  '^And  as  they  departed  from 
Jgr-i-eho,  a great  multitude  fol- 
lowed him.

30  H And,  behold,  “two  blind  men 
sitting  by  the  way  side,  when  they 
heard  that  Je-stis  passed  by,  cried 
out,  saying.  Have  mercy  on  us,  O 
Lord,  thou  son  of  DaWid. 

31  And  the  multitude  rebuked 
them,  because  they  should  hold 
their  peace:  but  they  cried  the 
more,  saying,  Have  mercy  on  us, 
O Lord,  thou  son  of  DaHid. 

32  And  Je-siis  stood  still,  and 
called  them,  and  said.  What  will  ye 
that  I shall  do  unto  you '? 

33  They  say  unto  him.  Lord,  that 
our  eyes  may  be  opened. 

34  So  Je^iis  had  compassion  on 
them,  and  touched  their  eyes : and 
immediately  their  eyes  received 
sight,  and  they  followed  him. 


CHAPTER  21. 

1 Christ  rideth  into  Jerusalem.  12  He  driveth  the  buyer., 
and  sellers  out  of  the  temple.  17  He  curseth  the  fig  tree. 


AND  'when  they  drew  nigh  unto 
JAru-sa-lem,  and  were  come  to 
Beth-pha-ge,  unto  ’“the  mount  of 
01-ive§,  then  sent  Je-sus  two  dis- 
ciples, 

2 Saying  unto  them.  Go  into  the 
village  over  against  you,  and 
straightway  ye  shall  find  an  ass 
tied,  and  a colt  with  her:  loose 
them,  and  bring  them  unto  me. 

3 And  if  any  man  say  ought  unto 
you,  ye  shall  say.  The  Lord  hath 
need  of  them ; and  straightway  he 
will  send  them. 

4 All  this  was  done,  that  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by 
the  prophet,  saying, 

5 ’‘Tell  ye  the  daughter  of  Si-6n, 
Behold,  thy  King  cometh  unto  thee, 
meek,  and  sitting  upon  an  ass,  and 
a colt  the  foal  of  an  ass. 

6 'And  the  disciples  went,  and 
did  as  Je-siis  commanded  them, 

7 And  brought  the  ass,  and  the 
colt,  and  '‘'put  on  them  their  clothes, 
and  they  set  him  thereon. 

8 And  a very  great  multitude 
spread  their  garments  in  the  way ; 

others  cut  down  branches  from 
the  trees,  and  strawed  them  in  the 


way. 

9 And  the  multitudes  that  went 
before,  and  that  followed,  cried, 
saying,  ''Ho-san-na  to  the  son  of 
DaHid  : ‘'Blessed  is  he  that  cometh 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord ; H6-san- 
na  in  the  highest. 

10  ^And  when  he  was  come  into 
Je-ru-sa-l6m,  all  the  city  was  moved, 
saying.  Who  is  this  *? 

11  And  the  multitude  said,  This 
is  Je-sus  ’“the  prophet  of  Naz-a-reth 
of  Gal-i-lee. 

12  ^ “And  Je-siis  went  into  the

The  paraole  oj  tne 

temple  of  God,  and  cast  out  all 
them  that  sold  and  bought  in  the 
temple,  and  overthrew  the  tables  of 
the  * moneychangers,  and  the  seats 
of  them  that  sold  doves, 

13  And  said  unto  them.  It  is  writ- 
ten, "My  house  shall  be  called  the 
house  of  prayer ; ‘^but  ye  have  made 
it  a den  of  thieves. 

14  And  the  blind  and  the  lame 
came  to  him  in  the  temple ; and  he 
healed  them. 

15  And  when  the  chief  priests  and 
scribes  saw  the  wonderful  things 
that  he  did,  and  the  children  crying 
in  the  temple,  and_  saying,  H6-san- 
na  to  the  son  of  Da-vid ; they  were 
sore  displeased, 

16  And  said  unto  him,  Hearest 
thou  what  these  sayl  And  Je-stis 
saith  unto  them.  Yea;  have  ye 
never  read,  -^Out  of  the  mouth  of 
babes  and  sucklings  thou  hast  per- 
fected praise  1 

11  H And  he  left  them,  and  went 
out  of  the  city  into  '‘Beth-a-ny ; and 
he  lodged  there. 

18  * Now  in  the  morning  as  he  re- 
turned into  the  city,  he  hungered. 

19  ^And  when  he  saw  ^a  fig  tree 
in  the  way,  he  came  to  it,  and  found 
nothing  thereon,  but  leaves  only, 
and  said  unto  it,  Let  no  fruit  grow 
on  thee  henceforward  for  ever.  And 
presently  the  fig  tree  withered  a- 
way. 

20  ” And  when  the  disciples  saw  it, 
they  marvelled,  saying.  How  soon 
is  the  fig  tree  withered  away  ! 

21  Je-sus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Verily  I say  unto  you,  «If  ye 
have  faith,  and  ’‘doubt  not,  ye  shall 
not  only  do  this  which ^ is  done  to 
the  fig  tree,  *but  also  if  ye  shall 
say  unto  this  mountain.  Be  thou 
removed,  and  be  thou  cast  into  the 
sea ; it  snail  be  done. 

22  And  ’"all  things,  whatsoever  ye 
shall  ask  in  prayer,  believing,  ye 
shall  receive. 

23  H *And  when  he  was  come  into 
the  temple,  the  chief  priests  and  the 
elders  of  the  people  came  unto  him  as 
he  was  teaching,  and  “said.  By  what 
authority  doest  thou  these  things  % 
and  who  gave  thee  this  authority  1 

24  And  Je-§us  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  I also  will  ask  you  one 
thing,  which  if  ye  tell  me,  I in  like 
wise  will  tell  you  by  what  authority 
I do  these  things. 

25  The  baptism  of  John,  whence 
was  itl  from  heaven,  or  of  men'? 
And  they  reasoned  with  themselves, 
saying.  If  we  shall  say,  From  heav- 
en ; he  will  say  unto  us.  Why  did 
ye  not  then  believe  him '?

26  But  if  we  shall  say,  Of  men: 

we  fear  the  people;  “for  all  hold 
John  as  a prophet. 

27  And  they  answered  Je-siis,  and 
said.  We  cannot  tell.  And  he  said 
unto  them.  Neither  tell  1 you  by 
what  authority  I do  these  things. 

28  U But  what  think  ye  1 A cer- 
tain man  had  two  sons ; and  he 
came  to  the  first,  and  said.  Son,  go 
work  to  day  in  my  vineyard. 

29  He  answered  and  said,  I will 
not : but  afterward  he  repented, 
and  went. 

30  And  he  came  to  the  second,  and 
said  likewise.  And  he  answered  and 
said,  I go,  sir : and  went  not. 

31  Whether  of  them  twain  did  the 
will  of  his  father?  They  say  unto 
him.  The  first.  Je-sus  saith  unto 
them,  "Verily  I say  unto  you.  That 
the  publicans  and  the  harlots  go  in- 
to the  kingdom  of  God  before  you. 

32  For  S' John  came  unto  you  in 
the  way  of  righteousness,  and  ye 
believed  him  not:  ’but  the  publi- 
cans and  the  harlots  believedf  him : 
and  ye,  when  ye  had  seen  it,^  re- 
pented not  afterward,  that  ye  might 
believe  him. 

33  H Hear  another  parable : There 
was  a certain  householder,  ’•'"which 
planted  a vineyard,  and  hedged  it 
round  about,  and  digged  a wine- 
press in  it,  and  built  a tower,  and 
let  it  out  to  husbandmen,  and 
"went  into  a far  country : 

34  And  when  the  time  of  the  fruit 
drew  near,  he  sent  his  servants  to 
the  husbandmen,  ^that  they  might 
receive  the  fruits  of  it. 

35  "And  the  husbandmen  took  his 
servants,  and  beat  one,  and  killed 
another,  and  stoned  another. 

36  Again,  he  sent  other  servants 
more  than  the  first : and  they  did 
unto  them  likewise. 

37  But  last  of  all  he  sent  unto 
them  his  son,  saying.  They  will 
reverence  my  son. 

38  But  when  the  husbandmen  saw 
the  son,  they  said  among  them- 
selves, ^This  is  the  heir  ; *come,  let 
us  kill  him,  and  let  us  seize  on  his 
inheritance. 

39  * And  they  caught  him,  and  cast 
him  out  of  the  vineyard,  and  slew 
him. 

40  When  the  lord  therefore  of  the 
vineyard  cometh,  what  will  he  do 
unto  those  husbandmen? 

41  "They  say  unto  him,  "^He  will 
miserably  destroy  those  wicked 
men,  "and  will  let  out  his  vineyard 
unto  other  husbandmen,  which  shall 
render  him  the  fruits  in  theii 
seasons.

The  ^parable  of 


St.  MATTHEW,  22. 


the  rriarriage  feast. 


42  Je-stis  saith  unto  them,  “Did 

ye  never  read  in  the  scriptures. 
The  stone  which  the  builders  re- 
jected, the  same  is  become  the 
head  of  the  corner:  this  is  the 
Lord’s  doing,  and  it  is  marvellous 
in  our  eyes'? 

43  Therefore  say  I unto  you,  ®The 
kingdom  of  God  shall  be  taken 
from  you,  and  given  to  a nation 
bringing  forth  the  fruits  thereof. 

44  And  whosoever  ‘’shall  fall  on 
this  stone  shall  be  broken : but  on 
whomsoever  it  shall  fall,  ^it  will 
grind  him  to  powder. 

45  And  when  the  chief  priests  and 
Phar-i-see§  had  heard  his  parables, 
they  perceived  that  he  spake  of 
them. 

46  But  when  they  sought  to  lay 
hands  on  him,  they  feared  the 
multitude,  because  Hhey  took  him 
for  a prophet. 


CHAPTER  22. 

1 The  parable  of  the  marriage  of  the  Icing’s  son.  11  The 

wedding  garment.  15  Tribute  to  be  paid  to  Caesar.  23 

Christ  confuteth  the  Saddueees.  41  The  Pharisees  are 

silenced. 

AND  Je-sus  answered  ^and  spake 
jLa.  unto  them  again  by  parables, 
and  said, 

2 The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like 
unto  a certain  king,  which  made 
a marriage  for  his  son, 

3 And  sent  forth  his  servants  to 
call  them  that  were  bidden  to  the 
wedding : and  they  would  not  come. 

4 Again,  he  sent  forth  other  serv- 
ants, saying.  Tell  them  which  are 
bidden.  Behold,  I have  prepared  my 
dinner  : ”"my  oxen  ana  my  fatlings 
are  killed,  and  all  things  are  ready : 
come  unto  the  marriage. 

5 But  they  made  light  of  it,  and 
went  their  ways,  one  to  his  farm, 
another  to  his  merchandise : 

6 And  the  remnant  took  his  serv- 
ants, and  entreated  them  spitefully, 
and  slew  them. 

7 But  when  the  king  heard  thereof, 
he  was  wroth:  and  he  sent  forth 
5 his  armies,  and  destroyed  those 
murderers,  and  burned  up  their 
city. 

8 Then  saith  he  to  his  servants. 
The  wedding  is  ready,  but  they 
which  were  bidden  were  not 
’’worthy. 

9 Go  ye  therefore  into  the  high- 
ways, and  as  many  as  ye  shall  find, 
bid  to  the  marriage. 

10  So  those  servants  went  out  in- 
to the  highways,  and  * gathered  to- 
gether all  as  many  as  they  found, 
both  bad  and  good : and  the  wed- 
ding was  furnished  with  guests.

to  see  the  guests,  he  saw  there  a 
man  * which  had  not  on  a wedding 
garment : 

1 2 And  he  saith  unto  him.  Friend, 
how  earnest  thou  in  hither  not  hav- 
ing a wedding  garment?  And  he 
was  speechless. 

13  Then  said  the  king  to  the  serv- 
ants, Bind  him  hand  and  foot,  and 
take  him  away,  and  cast  himi  ‘^intci 
puter  darkness ; there  shall  be  weep- 
ing and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

14  ^For  many  are  called,  but  few 
are  chosen. 

15  H '‘Then  went  the  Phar-i-sees, 
and  took  counsel  how  they  might 
entangle  him  in  his  talk. 

16  And  they  sent  out  unto  him 
their  disciples  with  the  H6-ro-di- 
ans,  saying.  Master,  we  know  that 
thou  art  true,  and  teachest  the  way 
of  God  in  truth,  neither  carest  thou 
for  any  man:  for  thou  regardest 
not  the  person  of  men. 

17  Tell  us  therefore,  What  think- 
est  thou  ? Is  it  lawful  to  give  tribute 
unto  Cse-sar,  or  not  ? 

18  But  Je-sus  perceived  their  wick- 
edness, and  said,  Why  tempt  ye  me, 
ye  hypocrites  ? 

19  Shew  me  the  tribute  money. 
And  they  brought  unto  him  a 
^ penny. 

20  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Whose 
is  this  image  and  ‘‘^superscription  ? 

21  They  say  unto  nim,  Cse-sar’s. 
Then  saith  he  unto  them,  'Render 
therefore  unto  Cse-sar  the  things 
which  are  Cse-saf ’s ; and  unto  God 
the  things  "that  are  God’s. 

22  When  they  had  heard  these 
words,  they  marvelled,  and  left 
him,  and  went  their  way. 

23  H ”The  same  day  came  to  him 
the  Sad-du-9eos,  ‘’which  say  that 
there  is  no  resurrection,  and  asked 
him, 

24  Saying,  Master,  ^Mo-ses  said.  If 
a man  die,  having  no  children,  hi? 
brother  shall  marry  his  wife,  and 
raise  up  seed  unto  his  brother. 

25  Now  there  were  with  us  seven 
brethren : and  the  first,  when  he 
had  married  a wifa  deceased,  and, 
having  no  issue,  left  his  wife  unto 
his  brother : 

26  Likewise  the  second  also,  and 
the  third,  unto  the  ^seventh. 

27  And  last  of  all  the  woman  died 
also. 

28  Therefore  in  the  resurrection 
whose  wife  shall  she  be  of  the 
seven?  for  they  all  had  her. 

29  Je-sus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Ye  do  err,  'not  knowing  the 
scrip tm^es,  nor  the  power  of  God. 

30  For  in  the  resurrection  they 


24 


The  Sadducees  and 


St.  MATTHEW,  23. 


the  Pharisees  silenced. 


neither  marry,  nor  are  given  in 
marriage,  but  “are  as  the  angels 
of  God  in  heaven. 

31  But  as  touching  the  resurrec- 

tion of  the  dead,  have  ye  not  read 
that  which  was  spoken  unto  you 
by  God,  saying,  _ 

32  am  the  God  of  A-bra-ham. 
and  the  God  of  I-saae,  and  the  God 
of  Ja-cOb'?  God  is  not  the  God  of 
the  dead,  but  of  the  living. 

33  And  when  the  multitude  heard 

this,  -^they  were  astonished  at  his 
doctrine.  , , , 

34  U '"But  when  the  Phar-i-sees 
had  heard  that  he  had  put  the 
SM-du-9ees  to  silence,  they  were 
gathered  together. 

35  Then  one  of  them,  which  was 
*a  lawyer,  asked  him  a question, 
tempting  him,  and  saying, 

36  Master,  which  ^s  the  great 
commandment  in  the  lawl 

37  Je-sus  said  unto  him,  ”Thou 
shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with 
all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy 
soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind. 

38  This  is  the  first  and  great  com- 
mandment. 

39  And  the  second  is  like  unto  it, 
p Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as 
thyself. 

40  « On  these  two  commandments 
hang  all  the  law  and  the  prophets. 

41  H * While  the  Phar-i-sees  were 
gathered  together,  Je-sus  asked 
them, 

42  Saying,  What  think  ye  of 
Ohrlsti  whose  son  is  hel  They 
say  unto  him.  The  son  of  Da-vid. 

43  He  saith  unto  them.  How  then 
doth  Da-vid  in  spirit  call  him  Lord, 
saying. 

44  * The  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand,  till  1 
make  thine  enemies  thy  footstool  1 

45  If  Da-vid  then  call  him  Lord, 
how  is  he  his  son '? 

46  ^And  no  man  was  able  to  an- 
swer him  a word,  * neither  durst 
any  man  from  that  day  forth  ask 
him  any  more  questions.

denounceth  hypocrisy  and  blindness,  34  and  foretelleth

Then  spake  Je-sus  to  the  multi- 
tude, and  to  his  disciples, 

2  Saying,  ®The  scribes  and  the 
Phar-i-sees  sit  in  Mo-s6s’  seat : 

3  All  therefore  whatsoever  they 
bid  you  observe,  that  observe  and 
do  ; but  do  not  ye  after  their  works : 
for  ‘^they  say,  and  do  not.

thered thy  children  together,  even 
as  a hen  gathereth  her  chickens  ^un- 
der her  wings,  and  ye  would  not ! 

38  Behold,  your  house  is  left  unto 
you  desolate. 

39  For  I say  unto  you,  Ye  shall 
not  see  me  henceforth,  till  ye  shall 
say,  ® Blessed  is  he  that  cometh  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  24. 

1 Christ  foretelleth  the  destruction  of  the  temple:  3 vihat 

and  how  great  calamities  shall  be  before  it : 29  the  signs 

of  his  coming  to  judgment,  42  We  ought  to  watch  like 

good  servants. 

AND  ^'Je-^us  went  out,  and  de- 
XX  parted  from  the  temple : and 
his  disciples  came  to  him  for  to  shew 
him  the  Duildings  of  the  temple. 

2 And  Je-sus  said  unto  them,  See 
ye  not  all  these  things'?  verily  I 
say  unto  you,  * There  shall  not  be 
left  here  one  stone  upon  another, 
that  shall  not  be  thrown  down. 

3 IT  And  as  he  sat  upon  the  mount 
of  01-ives,  *the  disciples  came  un- 
to him  privately,  saj^ing,  ^Tell  us, 
when  shall  these  things  be"?  and 
what  shall  he  the  sign  of  thy  com- 
ing, and  of  the  end  of  the  world '? 

4 And  Je-sus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  "Take  heed  that  no  man 
deceive  you. 

5 For  "many  shall  come  in  my 
name,  sajdng,  I am  -Christ;  and 
shall  deceive  many. 

6 And  ye  shall  hear  of  wars  and 
rumours  of  wars : see  that  ye  be  not 
troubled : for  all  these  things  must 
come  to  pass,  but  the  end  is  not  yet. 

7 For  ® nation  shall  rise  against 
nation,  and  kingdom  against  king- 
dom : and  there  shall  be  famines, 
and  pestilences,  and  earthquakes, 
in  divers  places. 

8 All  these  are  the  beginning  of 
sorrows. 

9 "Then  shall  they  deliver  you  up 
to  be  afflicted,  and  shall  kill  you : 
and  ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  nations 
for  my  name’s  sake. 

10  And  then  shall  many  ^be  of- 
fended, and  shall  betray  one  an- 
other, and  shall  hate  one  another. 

1 1 And  *many  false  prophets  shall 
rise,  and  "shall  deceive  many. 

12  And  because  iniquity  shall  a- 
bound,  the  love  of  many  shall  wax 
cold. 

1 3 -^But  he  that  shall  endure  unto 
the  end,  the  same  shall  be  saved. 

14  And  this  gospel  of  the  kingdom 
^ shall  be  preached  in  all  the  world 
for  a witness  unto  all  nations ; and 
then  shall  the  end  come. 

15  *When  ye  therefore  shall  see 
the  abomination  of  desolation,  spo-

readeth,  let  him  understand  :) 

16  Then  let  them  which  be  in  Ju- 
dse-a  flee  into  the  mountains  : 

17  Let  him  which  is  on  the  house- 
top not  come  down  to  take  any 
thing  out  of  his  house : 

18  Neither  let  him  which  is  in 
the  field  return  back  to  take  his 
clothes. 

19  And  ^'woe  unto  them  that  are 
with  child,  and  to  them  that  give 
suck  in  those  days  ! 

20  But  pray  ye  that  your  flight 
be  not  in  the  winter,  neither  on 
the  sabbath  day: 

21  For  *then  shall  be  great  tribu- 
lation, such  as  was  not  since  the 
beginning  of  the  world  to  this  time, 
no,  nor  ever  shall  be. 

22  And  except  those  days  should 
be  shortened,  there  should  no  flesh 
be  saved : ' but  for  the  elect’s  sake 
those  days  shall  be  shortened. 

23  ”^Then  if  any  man  shall  say 
unto  you,  Lo,  here  is  -Christ,  or 
there;  believe  it  not. 

24  For  "there  shall  arise  false 
Christs,  and  false  prophets,  and 
shall  shew  great  signs  and  won- 
ders; insomuch  that,  ^if  were 
possible,  they  shall  deceive  the 
very  elect. 

25  Behold,  I have  told  you  before. 

26  Wherefore  if  they  shall  say  un- 
to you.  Behold,  he  is  in  the  desert ; 
go  not  forth:  behold,  he  is  in  the 
secret  chambers;  beheve  it  not. 

27  "'For  as  the  lightning  cometh 
out  of  the  east,  and  shineth  even 
unto  the  west;  so  shall  also  the 
coming  of  the  Son  of  man  be. 

28  **For  wheresoever  the  carcase 
is,  there  will  the  eagles  be  gathered 
together. 

29  H Immediately  after  the  tribu- 
lation of  those  days  * shall  the  sun  be 
darkened,  and  the  moon  shall  not 
mve  her  light,  and  the  stars  shall 
fall  from  heaven,  and  the  powers  of 
the  heavens  shall  be  shaken  : 

30  "And  then  shall  appear  the  sign 
of  the  Son  of  man  in  heaven : and 
then  shall  all  the  tribes  of  the  earth 
mourn,  ‘^and  they  shall  see  the  Son 
of  man  coming  in  the  clouds  of 
heaven  with  power  and  great  glory. 

31  "And  he  shall  send  his  angels 
^with  a great  sound  of  a trumpet, 
and  they  shall  gather  together  his 
elect  from  the  four  winds,  from  one 
end  of  heaven  to  the  other.

The  parable  of  St.  MATTHEW,  25.  the  ten  virgins. 


CHAPTER  25. 

1 The  parable  of  the  ten  virgins,  14  and  of  the  talents. 

31  Also  the  description  of  the  last  judgment. 

Then  shall  the  kingdom  of  heav- 
en be  likened  unto  ten  virgins, 
which  took  their  lainps,  and  went 
forth  to  meet  *the  bridegroom. 

2  ®And  five  of  them  were  wise, 
and  five  were  foolish. 

3  They  that  ivere  foolish  took  their 
lamps,  and  took  no  oil  with  them : 

4  But  the  wise  took  oil  in  their 
vessels  with  their  lamps. 

5  While  the  bridegroom  tarried, 
®they  all  slurnbered  and  slept. 

6  And  at  midnight  -^there  was  a 
cry  made.  Behold,  the  bridegroom 
cometh;  go  ye  out  to  meet  him. 

7  Then  all  those  virgins  arose,  and 
trimmed  their  lamps. 

8  And  the  foolish  said  unto  the 
wise.  Give  us  of  your  oil ; for  our 
lamps  are  ^gone  out. 

9  But  the  wise  answered,  saying. 
Not  so  : lest  there  be  not  enough  for 
us  and  you : but  go  ye  rather  to 
them  that  sell,  and  buy  for  your- 
selves. 

10  And  while  they  went  to  buy, 
the  bridegroom  came ; and  they  that 
were  ready  went  in  with  him  to  the 
marriage : and  '"the  door  was  shut. 

1 1  Afterward  came  also  the  other 
virgins,  saying,  *Lord,  Lord,  open 
to  us. 

^ 12  But  he  answered  and  said,  Ver- 
ily I say  unto  you,  know  you 
not. 

13  ^ Watch  therefore,  for  ye  know 
neither  the  day  nor  the  hour  where- 
in the  Son  of  man  cometh. 

14  H ”For  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  "as  a man  travelling  into  a far 
country,  who^  called  his  own  serv- 
ants, and  delivered  unto  them  his 
goods. 

15  And  unto  one  he  gave  five 
^talents,  to  another  two,  and  to  an- 
other one ; ^to  every  man  according 
to  his  several  ability  ; and  straight- 
way took  his  journey. 

1 6  Then  he  that  had  received  the 
five  talents  went  and  traded  with 
the  same,  and  made  them  other  five 
talents. 

17  And  likewise  he  that  had  re- 
ceived two,  he  also  gained  other  two. 

18  But  he  that  had  received  one 
went  and  digged  in  the  earth,  and 
hid  his  lord’s  money. 

19  After  a long  time  the  lord  of 
those  servants  cometh,  and  reckon- 
eth  with  them. 

20  And  so  he  that  had  received 
five  talents  came  and  brought  other 
five  talents,  saying,  Lord,  thou  de- 
liveredst  unto  me  five  talents : be-

hold,  I have  gained  beside  them 
five  talents  more. 

21  His  lord  said  unto  him.  Well 
done,  thou  good  and  faithful  serv- 
ant : thou  hast  been  faithful  over  a 
few  things,  “I  will  make  thee  ruler 
over  many  things  : enter  thou  into 
‘^the  joy  of  thy  lord. 

22  He  also  that  had  received  two 
talents  came  and  said,  Lord,  thou 
deliveredst  unto  me  two  talents  : 
behold,  I have  gained  two  other 
talents  beside  them. 

23  His  lord  said  unto  him.  Well 
done,  good  and  faithful  servant; 
thou  hast  been  faithful  over  a few 
things,  I will  make  thee  ruler  over 
many  things : enter  thou  into  the 
joy  of  thy  lord. 

24  Then  he  which  had  received 
the  one  talent  came  and  said,  Lord, 
I knew  thee  that  thou  art  an  hard 
man,  reaping  where  thou  hast  not 
sown,  and  gathering  where  thou 
hast  not  strawed : 

25  And  I was  afraid,  and  went  and 
hid  thy  talent  in  the  earth : lo,  there 
thou  hast  that  is  thine. 

26  His  lord  answered  and  said  un- 
to him.  Thou  wicked  and  slothful 
servant,  thou  knewest  that  I reap 
where  I sowed  not,  and  gather 
where  I have  not  strawed : 

27  Thou  oughtest  therefore  to  have 
put  my  money  to  the  exchangers, 
and  then  at  my  coming  I should 
have  received  mine  own  with  usury. 

28  Take  therefore  the  talent  from 
him,  and  give  it  unto  him  which 
hath  ten  talents. 

29  ""For  unto  every  one  that  hath 
shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have 
abundance : but  from  him  that  hath 
not  shall  be  taken  away  even  that 
which  he  hath. 

30  And  cast  ye  the  unprofitable 
servant^  in  to  outer  darkness  : there 
shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of 
teeth. 

31  H ’’When  the  Son  of  man  shall 


come  in  his 
angels  with 


dory,  and  all  the  holy 
lim,  then  shall  he  sit 


upon  the  throne  of  his  glory: 

32  And  * before  him  shall  be  ga- 
thered all  nations:  and  *he  shall 
separate  them  one  from  another, 
as  a shepherd  divideth  his  sheep 
from  the  goats : 

33  And  he  shall  set  the  sheep  on 
his  right  hand,  but  the  goats  on  the 
left. 

34  Then  shall  the  King  say  unto 
them  on  his  right  hand.  Come,  ye 
blessed  of  my  Father,  “inherit  the 
kingdom  prepared  for  you  from 
the  foundation  of  the  world : 

35  ^For  I was  an  hungred,  and 


The  rulers  conspi/re  

ye  gave  me  meat:  I was  thirsty, 
and  ye  gave  me  drink : was  a 

stranger,  and  ye  took  me  in : 

36  ‘^Naked,  and  ye  clothed  me : I 
was  sick,  and  ye  visited  me : was 
in  prison,  and  ye  came  unto  me. 

37  Then  shall  the  righteous  answer 
him,  saying.  Lord,  when  saw  we 
thee  an  hungred,  and  fed  thee^  or 
thirsty,  and  gave  thee  drink  1 

38  When  saw  we  thee  a stranger, 
and  took  thee  in'?  or  naked,  and 
clothed  theel 

39  Or  when  saw  we  thee  sick,  or 
in  prison,  and  came  unto  thee'? 

40  And  the  King  shall  answer  and 
say  unto  them.  Verily  I say  unto 
you,  ^Inasmuch  as  ye  have  done  it 
unto  one  of  the  least  of  these  my 
brethren,  ye  have  done  it  unto  me. 

41  Then  shall  he  say  also  unto 
them  on  the  left  hand,  * Depart 
from  me,  ye  cursed,  dnto  everlast- 
ing fire,  prepared  for  ’^the  devil 
and  his  angels : 

42  For  I was  an  hungred,  and  ye 
gave  me  no  meat : I was  thirsty, 
and  ye  gave  me  no  drink : 

43  I was  a stranger,  and  ye  took 
me  not  in : naked,  and  ye  clothed 
me  not : sick,  and  in  prison,  and  ye 
visited  me  not. 

44  Then  shall  they  also  answer 
him,  saying.  Lord,  when  saw  we 
thee  an  hungred,  or  athirst,  or  a 
stranger,  or  naked,  or  sick,  or  in 
prison,  and  did  not  minister  unto 
theel 

45  Then  shall  he  answer  them, 
saying.  Verily  I say  unto  you,  ’‘In- 
asmuch as  ye  did  it  not  to  one  of  the 
least  of  these,  ye  did  it  not  to  me. 

46  And  ^ these  shall  go  away  into 
everlasting  punishment : but  the 
righteous  into  life  eternal. 

CHAPTER  26. 

1 The  rulers  conspire  against  Christ.  14  Judas  selleth 
him.  17  Christ  eateth  the  passover : 26  instituteth  his 
holy  supper : 36  prayeth  in  the  garden  : 57  is  carried  to 
Caiaphas,  69  and  denied  of  Peter. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Je^iis 
L had  finished  all  these  sayings, 
he  said  unto  his  disciples, 

_ 2 "Ye  know  that  after  two  days 
is  the  feast  of  the  passover,  and 
the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed  to  be 
crucified. 

3 ^Then  assembled  together  the 
chief  priests,  and  the  scribes,  and 
the  elders  oi  the  people,  unto  the 
palace  of  the  high  priest,  who  was 
called  Ca-ia-phas, 

4 And  consulted  that  they  might 
take  J e-sus  by  subtilty,  and  kill  him. 
5 But  they  said.  Not  on  the  feast 
day,  lest  there  be  an  uproar  among 
the  people.

6 IT  “Now  when  J e-sus  was  in 
®Beth-a-ny,  in  the  house  of  Si-m5n 
the  leper, 

7 There  came  unto  him  a woman 
having  an  alabaster  box  of  very 
precious  ointment,  and  poured  it 
on  his  head,  as  he  sat  at  meat. 

8 -^But  when  his  disciples  saw  it, 
they  had  indignation,  saying,  To 
what  purpose  is  this  waste'? 

9 For  this  ointment  might  have 
been  sold  for  much,  and  given  to 
the  poor. 

10  When  Je-siis  understood  it,  he 
said  unto  them.  Why  trouble  ve 
the  woman'?  for  she  hath  wrought 
a good  work  upon  me. 

11  ^For  ye  have  the  poor  always 
with  you;  but  *me  ye  have  not 
alwaj^. 

12  For  in  that  she  hath  poured 
this  ointment  on  my  body,  ^e  did 
it  for  my  burial. 

13  Verily  I say  unto  you.  Where- 
soever this  gospel  shall  be  preached 
in  the  whole  world,  there  shall  also 
this,  that  this  woman  hath  done,  be 
told  for  a memorial  of  her. 

14  ^ "Then  one  of  the  twelve, 
called  "Ju-das  Is-car4-5t,  went  unto 
the  chief  priests, 

15  And  said  unto  them,  ^What  will 
ye  give  me,  and  I will  deliver  him 
unto  you'?  And  they  covenanted 
with  him  for  thirty  pieces  of  silver. 

16  And  from  that  time  he  sought 
opportunity  to  betray  him. 

1 7 IT  ® Now  the  first  day  of  the  feast 
of  unleavened  bread  the  disciples 
came  to  Je-sus,  saying  unto  him, 
Where  wilt  thou  that  we  prepare 
for  thee  to  eat  the  passover'? 

18  And  he  said.  Go  into  the  city  to 
such  a man,  and  say  unto  him,  The 
Master  saitn.  My  time  is  at  hand  ; I 
will  keep  the  passover  at  thy  house 
with  my  disciples. 

1 9 And  the  disciples  did  as  J e-sus 
had  appointed  them ; and  they  made 
ready  the  passover. 

20  *Now  when  the  even  was  come, 
he  sat  down  with  the  twelve. 

21  And  as  they  did  eat,  he  said, 
Verily  I say  unto  you,  that  one  of 
you  shall  betray  me. 

22  And  they  were  exceeding  sor- 
rowful, and  began  every  9ne  of 
them  to  say  unto  him.  Lord,  is  it  I '? 

23  And  he  answered  and  said,  *'He 
that  dippeth  his  hand  with  me  in 
the  dish,  the  same  shall  betray  me. 

24  The  Son  of  man  goeth  *as  it  is 
written  of  him : but  “ woe  unto  that 
man  by  whom  the  Son  of  man  is 
betrayed  ! it  had  been  good  for  that 
man  if  he  had  not  been  born. 

25  Then  Ju-das,  which  betrayed

him,  answered  and  said,  Master,  is 
it  I He  said  unto  him,  Thou  hast 
said. 

26  H “And  as  they  were  eating, 
*’Je-sus  took  bread,  and  ^blessed  it, 
and  brake  it,  and  gave  it  to  the 
disciples,  and  said,  Take,  eat ; ‘'this 
is  my  body. 

27  And  he  took  the  cup,  and  gave 
thanks,  and  gave  it  to  them,  saying, 

Drink  ye  all  of  it ; 

28  For  ®this  is  my  blood  •''of  the 
new  testament,  which  is  shed  ^for 
many  for  the  remission  of  sins. 

29  But  *^1  say  unto  you,  I will  not 
drink  henceforth  of  this  fruit  of  the 
vine,  * until  that  day  when  I drink 
it  new  with  you  in  my  Father’s 
kingdom. 

30  *And  when  they  had  sung  an 
^hymn,  they  went  out  into  the 
mount  of  01-ives.  _ 

31  Then  saith  Je-stis  unto  them, 
’“All  ye  shall  “be  offended  because 
of  me  this  night : for  it  is  written, 
‘’I  will  smite  the  shepherd,  and  the 
sheep  of  the  flock  shall  be  scattered 
abroad. 

32  But  after  I am  risen  again, 
will  go  before  you  into  Gal-i-lee. 

33  Pe-ter  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Though  all  men  shall  be  of- 
fenaed  because  of  thee,  yet  will  I 
never  be  offended. 

34  Je-siis  said  unto  him,  *■  Verilv  I 
say  unto  thee.  That  this  night,  be- 
fore the  cock  crow,  thou  shalt  deny 
me  thrice. 

35  Pe-ter  said  unto  him,  Though  I 
should  die  with  thee,  yet  will  I not 
deny  thee.  Likewise  also  said  all 
the  disciples. 

36  II  “Then  cometh  Je^sus  with 
them  unto  a place  called  Geth^sem- 
a-ne,  and  saith  unto  the  disciples. 
Sit  ye  here,  while  I go  and  pray 
yonder. 

37  And  he  took  with  him  Pe-ter 
and  ^the  two  sons  of  Zeb-e-dee,  and 
began  to  be  sorrowful  and  very 
heavy. 

38  Then  saith  he  unto  them,  “My 
soul  is  exceeding  sorrowful,  even 
unto  death : tarry  ye  here,  and 
watch  with  me. 

39  And  he  went  a little  farther, 
and  fell  on  his  face,  and  ‘'prayed, 
saying,  ^ O my  Father,  if  it  be  pos- 
sible, ® let  this  cup  pass  from  me : 
nevertheless  -^not  as  I will,  but  as 
thou  wilt. 

40  And  he  cometh  unto  the  disci- 
ples, and  findeth  them  asleep,  and 
saith  unto  Pe-ter,  What,  could  ye 
not  watch  with  me  one  hourl 

41  ^ Watch  and  pray,  that  ye  en- 
ter not  into  temptation : the  spirit

indeed  is  willing,  but  the  flesh  is 
weak. 

42  He  went  away  again  the  second 
time,  and  prayed,  saying,  O my 
Father,  if  this  cup  may  not  pass 
away  from  me,  except  I drink  it, 
thy  will  be  done. 

43  And  he  came  and  found  them 
asleep  again:  for  their  eyes, were 
heavy. 

44  And  he  left  them,  and  went 
away  again,  and  prayed  the  third 
time,  saying  the  same  words. 

45  Then  cometh  he  to  his  disci- 
ples, and  saith  unto  them.  Sleep  on 
now,  and  take  your  rest : behold, 
the  hour  is  at  hand,  and  the  Son  or 
man  is  betrayed  into  the  hands  of 
sinners. 

46  Rise,  let  us  be  going ; behold, 
he  is  at  hand  that  doth  betray  me. 

47  U And  ^ while  he  yet  spake,  lo, 
Ju-das,  one  of  the  twelve,  came, 
and  with  him  a great  multitude 
with  swords  and  staves,  from  the 
chief  priests  and  elders  of  the 
people. 

48  Now  he  that  betrayed  him  gave 
them  a sign,  saying,  Whomsoever 
I shall  kiss,  that  same  is  he : hold 
him  fast. 

49  And  forthwith  he  came  to  Je- 
stis,  and  said.  Hail,  master;  ^and 
kissed  him. 

50  And  Je-siis  said  unto  him, 
* Friend,  wherefore  art  thou  comei 
Then  came  they,  and  laid  hands  on 
Je-stis,  and  took  him. 

51  And,  behold,  *one  of  them 
which  were  with  Je^tis  stretched 
out  his  hand,  and  drew  his  sword, 
and  struck  a servant  of  the  high 
priest’s,  and  smote_  off  his  ear. 

52  Then  said  Je^tis  unto  him. 
Put  up  again  thy  sword  into  his 
place : for  all  they  that  take  the 
sword  shall  perish  with  the  sword. 

53  Thinkest  thou  that  I cannot 
now  pray  to  my  Father,  and  he 
shall  presently  give  me  *more  than 
twelve  legions  of  angels  1 

54  But  how  then  shall  the  scrip- 
tures be  fulfilled,  ®that  thus  it  must 
bel 

55  In  that  same  hour  said  Je-siis 
to  the  multitudes,  Are  ye  come  out 
as  against  a thief  with  swords  and 
staves  for  to  take  mel  I sat  daily 
with  you  teaching  in  the  temple, 
and  ye  laid  no  hold  on  me. 

56  But  all  this  was  done,  that  the 
^scriptures  of  the  prophets  might 
be  fulfilled.  Then  ^ all  the  disciples 
forsook  him,  and  fled. 

57  ^ *And  they  that  had  laid  hold 
on  Je-siis  led  him  away  to  -Ga^a- 
phas  the  high  priest,  where  the

scribes  and  the  elders  were  as- 
sembled. 

58  But  Pe-ter  followed  him  afar 
off  unto  the  high  priest’s  palace, 
and  went  in,  and  sat  with  the  serv- 
ants, to  see  the  end. 

59  Now  the  chief  priests,  and 
elders,  and  all  the  council,  sought 
false  witness  against  Je-sus,  to  put 
him  to  death ; 

60  But  found  none : yea,  though 
'’many  false  witnesses  came,  yet 
found  they  none.  At  the  last  came 
^ two  false  witnesses, 

61  And  said.  This  fellow  said, 
am  able  to  destroy  the  temple  of 
God,  and  to  build  it  in  three  days. 

62  And  the  high  priest  arose,  and 
said  unto  him,  Answerest  thou 
nothing^  what  is  it  which  these 
witness  against  thee*? 

6  3 But  * J e-sus  held  his  peace.  And 
the  high  priest  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  adjure  thee  by  the  liv- 
ing God,  that  thou  tell  us  whether 
thou  be  the  -Ghrlst,  the  Son  of  God. 

64  Je-sus  sailh  unto  him.  Thou  hast 
said : nevertheless  I say  unto  you, 
' Hereafter  shall  ye  see  the  Son  of 
man  sitting  on  the  right  hand  of 
power,  and  coming  in  the  clouds 
of  heaven. 

65  "Then  the  high  priest  rent  his 
clothes,  saying,  He  hath  spoken 
blasphemy ; what  further  need  have 
we  of  witnesses!  behold,  now  ye 
have  heard  his  blasphemy. 

66  What  think  ye ! They  answered 
and  said,  ^ He  is  guilty  of  death. 

67  ®Then  did  they  spit  in  his  face, 
and  buffeted  him ; and  ’’others  smote 
him  with  ■'the  palms  of  their  hands, 

68  Saying,  'Prophesy  unto  us, 
thou  Ghrist,  Who  is  he  that  smote 
thee! 

69  U *Now  Pe-ter  sat  without  in 
the  palace : and  a damsel  came 
unto  him,  saying.  Thou  also  wast 
with  Je-siis  of  Gal-i-lee. 

70  But  he  denied  before  them  all, 
saying,  I know  not  what  thou 
sayest. 

7 1 And  when  he  was  gone  out  into 
the  porch,  another  maid  saw  him, 
and  said  unto  them  that  were  there, 
This  fellow  was  also  with  Je-sus  of 
Naz-a-r6th. 

72  And  again  he  denied  with  an 
oath,  I do  not  know  the  man. 

73  And  after  a while  came  unto 
A7m  _they  that  stood  by,  and  said 
to  Pe-ter,  Surely  thou  also  art  one 
of  them ; for  thy  •’speech  bewrayeth 
thee.

CHAPTER  27. 

1 Christ  is  delivered  to  Pilate.  3 Judas  hangeth  himself. 
19  Pilate,  admonished  of  his  wife,  24  washeth  his  hands: 
26  and  looseth  Barabbas.  29  Christ  is  crowned  with 
thorns,  34  crucified,  39  reviled,  50  dieth.  66  Sis  sepul- 
chre is  sealed,  and  watched. 

WHEN  the  morning  was  come, 
•’all  the  chief  priests  and  elders 
of  the  people  took  counsel  against 
Je-sus  to  put  him  to  death  : 

2  And  when  they  had  bound  him, 
they  led  him  away,  and  •'delivered 
him  to  POn-tiiis  Pi-late  the  gov- 
ernor. 

3  H ^Then  Ju-das,  which  had  be- 
trayed him,  when  he  saw  that  he 
was  condemned,  repented  himself, 
and  brought  again  the  thirty  pieces 
of  silver  to  the  chief  priests  and 
elders, 

4  Saving,  I have  sinned  in  that  I 
have  betrayed  the  innocent  blood. 
And  they  said.  What  is  that  to  us  ? 
see  thou  to  that. 

5  And  he  cast  down  the  pieces  of 
silver  in  the  temple,  ’’and  departed, 
and  went  and  hanged  himself. 

6  And  the  chief  priests  took  the 
silver  pieces,  and  said.  It  is  not 
lawful  for  to  put  them  into  the 
treasury,  because  it  is  the  price  of 
blood. 

7  And  they  took  counsel,  and 
bought  with  them  the  potter’s 
field,  to  bury  strangers  in. 

8  Wherefore  that  fi^eld  was  called, 
*The  field  of  blood,  unto  this  day. 

9  Then  was  fulfilled  that  which 
was  spoken  by  J6r-e-my  the  pro- 
phet, saying,  “And  they  took  the 
thirty  pieces  of  silver,  the  price  of 
him  that  was  valued,  ‘■'whom  they  of 
the  children  of  Is-ra-el  did  value  ; 

10  And  gave  them  for  the  potter’s 
field,  as  the  Lord  appointed  me. 

11  And  Je-sus  stood  before  the 
governor:  ^'and  the  governor  asked 
Him,  s^ing,  Art  thou  the  King  of 
the  Jews!  And  Je-sus  said  unto 
him,  ’’Thou  sayest. 

12  And  when  he  was  accused  of 
the  chief  priests  and  elders,  •’he 
answered  nothing. 

13  Then  said  K-late  unto  him, 
'’Hearest  thou  not  how  many  things 
they  witness  against  thee ! 

14  And  he  answered  him  to  never 
a word;  insomuch  that  the  gover- 
nor marvelled  greatly. 

15  “"Now  at  that  feast  the  governor 
was  wont  to  release  unto  the  people 
a prisoner,  whom  they  would. 


81 


Christ  is  mocked,  

16  And  they  had  then  a notable 
prisoner,  called  Bar-ab-bas. 

17  Therefore  when  they  were  ga- 
thered together,  Pidate  said  unto 
them,  Whom  will  ye  that  I release 
unto  youl  Bar-ab-bas,  or  Je-stis 
which  is  called  ■Christ'? 

18  For  he  knew  that  for  envy  they 
had  delivered  him. 

19  U When  he  was  set  down  on  the 
judgment  seat,  his  wife  sent  unto 
him,  saying,  Have  thou  nothing  to 
do  with  that  just  man : for  I have 
suffered  many  things  this  day  m a 
dream  because  of  him. 

20  ®But  the  chief  priests  and  elders 
persuaded  the  multitude  that  they 
should  ask  Bar-ab-bas,  and  destroy 
Je-stis. 

21  The  governor  answered  ana 
said  unto  them.  Whether  of  the 
twain  will  ye  that  I release  unto 
youl  They  said,  Bar-ab-bas. 

22  Pidate  saith  unto  them.  What 
shall  1 do  then  with  Je-sus  which  is 
called  •Christ'?  They  all  say  unto 
him.  Let  him  be  crucified. 

23  And  the  governor  said.  Why, 

what  evil  hath  he  done '?  But  they 
cried  out  the  more,  saying.  Let  him 
be  crucified.  ^ ^ ^ 

24  H When  Pidate  saw  that  he  could 
prevail  nothing,  but  that  rather  a 
tumult  was  made,  he  Hook  water, 
and  washed  his  hands  before  the 
multitude,  saying,  I am  innocent  of 
the  blood  of  this  just  person : see 
ye  to  it. 

25  Then  answered  all  the  people, 
and  said,  ”His  blood  be  on  us,  and 
on  our  children. 

26  U Then  released  he  Bar-ab-bas 
unto  them:  and  when  ^he  had 
scourged  Je-sus,  he  delivered  him 
to  be  crucified. 

27  ’‘Then  the  soldiers  of  the  gover- 
nor took  Je-stis  into  the  H9mmon 
hall,  and  gathered^  unto  him  the 
whole  band  of  soldiers. 

28  And  they  stripped  him,  and 
*put  on  him  a scarlet  robe. 

29  U * And  when  they  had  platted 
a crown  of  thorns,  they  put  upon 
his  head,  and  a reed  in  his  right 
hand:  and  they  bowed  the  knee 
before  him,  and  mocked^him,  say- 
ing, Hail,  King  of  the  J ews  ! 

30  And  Hhey  spit  upon  him,  and 
took  the  reed,  and  smote  him  on 
the  head. 

31  And  after  that  they  had  mocked 
him  they  took  the  robe  off  from 
him,  and  put  his  own  raiment  on 
him,  ^and  led  him  away  to  crucify 
him. 

32  ‘’And  as  they  came  out,  ‘*they 
found  a man  of  Qy-re-ne,  Si-m6n

by  name:  him  they  compelled  to 
bear  his  cross. 

33  “And  when  they  were  come 
unto  a place  called  G5l-g5-tha,  that 
is  to  say,  a place  of  a skull, 

34  U *They  gave  him  vinegar  to 
drink  mingled  with  gall : and  when 
he  had  tasted  thereof,  he  would  not 
drink. 

35  ‘’And  they  crucified  him,  and 
parted  his  garments,  casting  lots: 
that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  by  the  prophet,  ‘^Theyparted 
my  garments  among  them,  and  upon 
my  vesture  did  they  cast  lots. 

36  And  sitting  down  they  watched 
him  there ; 

37  And  -^set  up  over  his  head  his 
accusation  written,  THIS  IS  JE- 
SUS  THE  KING  OF  THE  JEWS. 
‘38  ^’Then  were  there  two  thieves 
crucified  with  him,  one  on  the  right 
hand,  and  another  on  the  left. 

39  ^ And  '‘they  that  passed  by  re- 
viled him,  wagging  their  heads, 

40  And  saying,  ’Thou  that  destroy- 
est  the  temple,  and  buildest  it  in 
three  days,  save  thyself.  *If  thou 
be  the  Son  of  God,  come  down  from 
the  cross. 

41  Likewise  also  the  chief  priests 
mocking  him,  with  the  scribes  and 
elders,  said, 

42  He  saved  others;  himself  he 
cannot  save.  If  he  be  the  King  of 
IsHa-el,  let  him  now  come  down 
from  the  cross,  and  we  will  believe 

43  "‘He  trusted  in  God ; let  him  de- 
liver him  now,  if  he  will  have  him : 
for  he  said,  I am  the  Son  of  God. 

44  "The  thieves  also,  which  were 
crucified  with  him,  cast  the  same 
in  his  teeth. 

45  « Now  from  the  sixth  hour  there 
was  darkness  over  all  the  land  unto 
the  ninth  hour. 

46  And  about  the  ninth  hour  f Je- 
stis  cned  with  a loud  voice,  saying, 
Edi,  Edi,  la-ma  sa-bach-tha-ni'?  that 
is  to  say,  “My  God,  my  God,  why 
hast  thou  forsaken  me '? 

47  Some  of  them  that  stood  tlmre, 
when  they  heard  that,  said.  This 
man  calleth  for  B-li-as. 

48  And  straightway  one  pf  them 
ran,  and  took  a spunge,  ^and  filled 
with  vinegar,  and  put  it  on  a reed, 
and  gave  him  to  drink. 

49  The  rest  said.  Let  be,  let  us  see 
whether  E-h-as  will  come  to  save 

50  *11  “Je-§us,  when  he  hsid  pried 

again  with  a loud  voice,  yielded  up 
the  ghosL  , ...

temple  was  rent  in  twain  from  the

top  to  the  bottom ; and  the  earth 

did  quake,  and  the  rocks  rent ; 

52  And  the  graves  were  opened; 
and  many  bodies  of  the  saints  which 
slept  arose, 

53  And  came  out  of  the  graves 
after  his  resurrection,  and  went 
into  the  holy  city,  and  appeared 
unto  many. 

54  ‘^Now  when  the  centurion,  and 
they  that  were  with  him,  watching 
Je-sus,  saw  the  earthquake,  and 
those  things  that  were  done,  they 
feared  greatly,  saying.  Truly  this 
was  the  Son  of  God. 

55  And  many  women  were  there 
beholding  afar  off,  -^which  followed 
Je-sus  from  Gal-i-lee,  ministering 
unto  him : 

56  ^Among  which  was  Ma-ry  Mag- 
da-le-ne,  and  Ma-ry  the  mother  of 
James  and  Jo-ses,  and  the  mother 
of  Zeb-e-dee’s  children. 

57  *When  the  even  was  come,  there 
came  a rich  man  of  Ar-i-ma-thae-a, 
named  Jo-seph,  who  also  himself 
was  Je-siis’  disciple: 

58  He  went  to  Pidate,  and  begged 
the  body  of  Je-siis.  Then  Pidate 
commanded  the  body  to  be  de- 
livered. 

59  And  when  Jo-s6ph  had  taken 
the  body,  he  wrapped  it  in  a clean 
linen  cloth, 

60  And  ""laid  it  in  his  own  new 
tomb,  which  he  had  hewn  out  in 
the  rock:  and  he  rolled  a great 
stone  to  the  door  of  the  sepulchre, 
and  departed. 

61  And  there  was  Mady  Mag-da- 
le-ne,  and  the  other  Mady,  sitting 
over  against  the  sepulchre. 

62  U Now  the  next  day,  that  fol- 
lowed the  day  of  the  preparation, 
the  chief  priests  ana  Phar4-sees 
came  together  unto  Pi-late, 

63  Saying,  Sir,  we  remember  that 
that  deceiver  said,  while  he  was  j^et 
alive,  "After  three  days  I will  rise 
again. 

64  Command  therefore  that  the 
sepulchre  be  made  sure  until  the 
third  day,  lest  his  disciples  come 
by  night,  and  steal  him  away,  and 
say  unto  the  people.  He  is  risen 
from  the  dead : so  the  last  error 
chall  be  worse  than  the  first. 

65  Pidate  said  unto  them.  Ye  have 
a watch : go  your  way,  make  it  as 
sure  as  ye  can. 

66  So  they  went,  and  made  the 
sepulchre  sure,  ^sealing  the  stone, 
and  setting  a watch.

I 


N the  “end  of  the  sabbath,  as  it 
began  to  dawn  toward  the  first 
day  of  the  week,  came  MaYy  Mag- 
da-le-ne  *and  the  other  MaYy  to 
see  the  sepulchre. 

2 And,  behold,  there  ^was  a great 
earthquake : for  " the  angel  of  the 
Lord  descended  from  heaven,  and 
came  and  rolled  back  the  stone  from 
the  door,  and  sat  upon  it. 

3 ®His  countenance  was  like  light- 
ning, and  his  raiment  white  as  snow : 

4 And  for  fear  of  him  the  keepers 
did  shake,  and  became  as  dead  men, 

5 And  the  angel  answered  and  said 
unto  the  women,  Fear  not  ye  : for 
I know  that  ye  seek  Je-§us,  which 
was  crucified. 

6 He  is  not  here  : for  he  is  risen, 
'‘^as  he  said.  Come,  see  the  place 
where  the  Lord  lay. 

7 And  go  quickly,  and  tell  his  dis- 
ciples that  he  is  risen  from  the 
dead;  and,  behold,  *he  goeth  before, 
you  into  Gal-i-lee;  there  shall  ye 
see  him:  lo,  I have  told  you. 

8 And  they  departed  quickly  from 
the  sepulchre  with  fear  and  great 
joy ; and  did  run  to  bring  his  dis- 
ciples word. 

9 U And  as  they  went  to  tell  his 
disciples,  behold,  Ge^tis  met  them, 
saying.  All  hail.  And  they  came 
and  held  him  by  the  feet,  and  wor- 
shipped him. 

10  Then  said  Je-§us  unto  them.  Be 
not  afraid : go  tell  ”my  brethren  that 
they  go  into  Gal-i-lee,  and  there 
shall  they  see  me. 

11  H Now  when  they  were  going, 
behold,  some  of  the  watch  came  into 
the  city,  and  shewed  unto  the  chief 
priests  all  the  things  that  were  done. 

1 2 And  when  they  were  assembled 
with  the  elders,  and  had  taken  coun- 
sel, they  gave  large  money  unto  the 
soldiers, 

13  Saying,  Say  ye.  His  disciples 
came  by  night,  and  stole  him  away 
while  we  slept. 

14  And  if  this  come  to  the  gover- 
nor’s ears,  we  will  persuade  him, 
and  secure  you. 

15  So  they  took  the  money,  and 
did  as  they  were  taught : and  this 
saying  is  commonly  reported  among 
the  Jews  until  this  day. 

16  ^ Then  the  eleven  disciples 
went  away  into  Gal-i-lee,  into  a 
mountain  ^ where  Je-sus  had  ap-

worshipped  him : but  some  doubted.

THE  GOSPEL  ACCORDING  TO 

St.  mark. 


CHAPTER  1. 

1 The  office  of  John  the  Baptist.  9 Jesus  is  baptized,  12 
tempted,  14  he  preacheth;  16  calleth  Peter,  Andrew, 
James  amd  John : 23  healeth  many  persons. 

The  beginning  of  the  gospel  of 
Je-stis  €)hrist,  ‘^the  Son  of 
God  ; 

2 As  it  is  written  in  the  prophets, 
•^Behold,  I send  my  messenger  be- 
fore thy  face,  which  shall  prepare 
thy  way  before  thee. 

3 ^The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the 
wilderness.  Prepare  ye  the  way  of 
the  Lord,  make  his  paths  straight. 
4 ^JOhn  did  baptize  in  the  wil- 
derness, and  preach  the  baptism  of 
repentance  ^for  the  remission  of 
sins. 

5 *And  there  went  out  unto  him 
all  the  land  of  Ju-dse-a,  and  they  of 
JAru-sa-lem,  and  were  all  baptized 
of  him  in  the  river  of  J 6r-dan,  con- 
fessing their  sins. 

6 And  John  was  ^clothed  with 
camel’s  hair,  and  with  a girdle  of 
a skin  about  his  loins ; and  he  did 
eat  ‘’locusts  and  wild  honey; 

7 And  preached,  saying,  ^ There 
cometh  one  mightier  than  I after 
me,  the  latchet  of  whose  shoes  I am 
not  worthy  to  stoop  down  and 
unloose. 

8 ’’I  indeed  have  baptized  you  with 
water : but  he  shall  baptize  you 
*with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

9 “And  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  that  Je-sus  came  from  Naz-a- 
rOth  of  Gal-i-lee,  and  was  baptized 
of  John  in  J6r-dan. 

10  ^And  straightway  coming  up  out 
of  the  water,  he  saw  the  heavens 
^opened,  and  the  Spirit  like  a dove 
descending  upon  him : 

11  And  there  came  a voice  from 
heaven,  saying,  “Thou  art  my  be- 
loved Son,  in  whom  I am  well 
pleased. 

12®  And  immediately  the  spirit 
driveth  him  into  the  wilderness. 

13  And  he  was  there  in  the  wil- 
derness forty  days,  tempted  of 
Sa-tan ; and  was  with  the  wild 
beasts  ; ‘*and  the  angels  ministered 
unto  him.

in  prison,  Je-sus  came  into  GSl-b 
lee,  “preaching  the  gospel  of  the 
kingdom  of  God, 

1 5 And  saying,  The  time  is  ful- 
filled, and  ®the  kingdom  of  God  is 
at  hand : repent  ye,  and  believe  the 
gospel. 

16  ® Now  as  he  walked  by  the  sea 
of  Gahi-lee,  he  saw  Si-mOn  and 
An-drew  his  brother  casting  a net 
into  the  seaj  for  they  were  fishers. 

17  And  Je-sus  said  unto  them. 
Come  ye  after  me,  and  I will  make 
you  to  become  fishers  of  men. 

18  And  straightway  *they  forsook 
their  nets,  and  followed  him. 

1 9 *And  when  he  had  gone  a little 
farther  thence,  he  saw  James  the 
son  of  Zeb-e-dee,  and  J6hn  his  bro- 
ther, who  also  were  in  the  ship 
mending  their  nets. 

20  And  straightway  he  called 
them : and  they  left  their  father 
Zeb-e-dee  in  the  ship  with  the  hired 
servants,  and  went  after  him. 

21  “And  they  went  into  -Ga-per- 
na-iim ; and  straightway  on  the 
sabbath  day  he  entered  into  the 
synagogue,  and  taught. 

22  ®And  they  were  astonished  at 
his  doctrine : for  he  taught  them 
as  one  that  had  authority,  and  not 
as  the  scribes. 

23  ®And  there  was  in  their  syna- 
gogue a man  with  an  unclean  spirit ; 
and  he  cried  out, 

24  Saying,  Let alone ; *what  have 
we  to  do  with  thee,  thou  Je-sus  of 
Naz-a-reth^  art  thou  come  to  de- 
stroy US'?  I know  thee  who  thou 
art,  the  Holy  One  of  God. 

25  And  Je-sus  ^rebuked  him,  say- 
ing. Hold  thy  peace,  and  come  out 
of  him. 

26  And  when  the  unclean  spirit 
*had  torn  him,  and  cried  with  a 
loud  voice,  he  came  out  of  him. 

27  And  they  were  all  amazed,  in- 
somuch that  they  questioned  am_ong 
themselves,  saying.  What  thing  is 
this'?  what  new  doctrine  is  this"? 
for  with  authority  commandeth  he 
even  the  unclean  spirits,  and  they 
do  obey  him. 

28  And  immediately  his  feme

spread  abroad  throughout  all  the 
region  round  about  Gal-i-lee. 

29  "And  forthwith,  when  they 
were  come  out  of  the  synagogue, 
they  entered  into_the  house  of 
Si-m6n  and  An-drew,  with  James

and  J5hn. 

30  But  Si-mbn’s  wife’s  mother  lay 
sick  of  a fever,  and  anon  they  tell 
him  of  her. 

31  And  he  came  and  took  her  by 
the  hand,  and  lifted  her  up;  and 
immediately  the  fever  left  her,  and 
she  ministered  unto  them. 

32  ‘'And  at  even,  when  the  sun  did 
set,  they  brought  unto  him  all  that 
were  diseased,  and  them  that  were 
possessed  with  devils. 

33  And  all  the  city  was  gathered 
together  at  the  door. 

34  And  he  healed  many  that  were 
sick  of  divers  diseases,  and  cast  out 
many  devils  ; and  **  suffered  not  the 
devils  Ho  speak,  because  they  knew 
him. 

35  And  Hn  the  morning,  rising  up 
a great  while  before  day,  he  went 
out,  and  departed  into  a solitary 
place,  and  there  prayed. 

36  And  Si-m5n  and  they  that  were 
with  him  followed  after  him. 

37  And  when  they  had  found  him, 
they  said  unto  him.  All  men  seek 
for  thee. 

38  And  he  said  unto  them,  ^Let 
us  go  into  the  next  towns,  that  I 
may  preach  there  also : for  Hhere- 
fore  came  I forth. 

39  *And  he  preached  in  their  syn- 
agogues throughout  all  Gal-i-lee, 
and  cast  out  devils. 

40  ""And  there  came  a leper  to 
him,  beseeching  him,  and  kneeling 
down  to  him,  and  saying  unto  him.  If 
thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean. 

41  And  Je-siis,  moved  with  com- 
passion, put  forth  his  hand,  ^ and 
touched  him,  and  saith  unto  him,  I 
will ; be  thou  clean. 

42  And  as  soon  as  he  had  spoken, 
immediately  the  leprosy  departed 
from  him,  and  he  was  cleansed. 

43  And  he  straitly  charged  him, 
and  forthwith  sent  him  away ; 

44  And  saith  unto  him.  See  thou 
say  nothing  to  any  man : but  go  thy 
way,  shew  thyself  to  the  priest,  and 
offer  for  thy  cleansing  those  things 
^ which  Mo-s6s  commanded,  for  a 
testimony  unto  them. 

45  5 But  he  went  out,  and  began 
to  publish  it  much,  and  to  blaze 
abroad  the  matter,  insomuch  that 
Je-§us  could  no  more  openly  enter 
into  the  city,  but  was  without  in 
desert  places : * and  they  came  to 
him  from  every  quarter.

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Christ  healeth  one  sick  of  the  palsy,  14  calleth  Matth&w, 

15  eateth  with  publicans  and  sinners,  18  excuseth  his  dis- 
ciples for  not  fasting,  &c. 

AND  again  *he  entered  into  £5a- 
J\.  per-na-iim  after  some  days; 
and  it  was  noised  that  he  was  in 
the  house. 

2 And  straightway  many  were 
gathered  together,  insomuch  that 
there  was  no  room  to  receive  them,, 
no,  not  so  much  as  about  the  door : 
and  he  preached  the  word  unto  them. 

3 And  they  come  unto  him,  bring- 
ing one  sick  of  the  palsy,  which  was 
borne  of  four. 

4 And  when  they  could  not  come 
nigh  unto  him  for  the  press,  they 
uncovered  the  roof  where  he  was : 
and  when  they  had  broken  it  up, 
they  let  down  the  bed  wherein  the 
sick  of  the  palsy  lay. 

5 When  Je-sus  saw  their  faith,  he 
said  unto  the  sick  of  the  palsy.  Son, 
thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee. 

6 But  there  were  certain  of  the 
scribes  sitting  there,  and  reasoning 
in  their  hearts, 

7 Why  doth  this  man  thus  speak 
blasphemies  1 •''who  can  forgive  sins 
Wt  God  only  1 

8 And  immediately  ^when  Je-sus 
perceived  in  his  spirit  that  they  so 
reasoned  within  themselves,  he  said 
unto  them.  Why  reason  ye  these 
things  in  your  hearts'? 

9 * Whether  is  it  easier  to  say  to 
the  sick  of  the  palsy.  Thy  sins  be 
forgiven  thee ; or  to  say.  Arise,  and 
take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk  *? 

10  But  that  ye  may  know  that  the 
Son  of  man  hath  power  on  earth  to 
forgive  sins,  (he  saith  to  the  sick  of 
the  palsy,) 

111  say  unto  thee.  Arise,  and  take 
up  thy  bed,  and  go  thy  way  into 
thine  house. 

1 2 And  immediately  he  arose,  took 
up  the  bed,  and  went  forth  before 
them  all ; insomuch  that  they  were 
all  amazed,  and  glorified  God,  say- 
ing, We  never  saw  it  on  this  fashion. 

13  "And  he  went  forth  again  by 
the  sea  side ; and  all  the  multitude 
resorted  unto  him,  and  he  taught 
them. 

14  "And  as  he  passed  by,  he  saw 
Le-vl  the  son  of  Al-phse-iis  sitting 
^at  the  receipt  of  custom,  and  said 
unto  him.  Follow  me.  And  he 
arose  and  followed  him. 

15  "And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as 
Je-sus  sat  at  meat  in  his  house, 
many  publicans  and  sinners  sat  also 
tqgether  with  Je-sus  and  his  dis- 
ciples : for  there  were  many,  and 
they  followed  him. 


Christ  excuseih  his  disciples.

16  And  when  the  scribes  and 

Phar-i-sees  saw  him  eat  with  pub- 
licans and  sinners,  the;^  said  unto 
his  disciples.  How  is  it  that  he 
eateth  and  drinketh  with  publicans 
iind  sinners  , 

17  When  Je-siis  heard  it,  he  saith 
unto  them,  *They  that  are  whole 
have  no  need  of  the  physician,  but 
they  that  are  sick : 1 came  not  to 
call  the  righteous,  but  sinners  to 
repentance. 

18  ®And  the  disciples  of  J5hn  and 
of  the  Phar4-sees  used  to  fast : and 
they  come  and  say  unto  him.  Why 
do  the  disciples  of  J5hn  and  of  the 
Phar4-sees  fast,  but  thy  disciples 
fast  notl 

19  And  Je-siis  said  unto  them.  Can 
the  children  of  the  bridechamber 
fast,  while  the  bridegroom  is  with 
them '?  as  long  as  they  have  the  bride- 
groom with  them,  they  cannot  fast. 

20  But  the  days  will  come,  when 
the  bridegroom  shall  be  taken  away 
from  them,  and  then  shall  they  fast 
in  those  days. 

21  No  man  also  seweth  a piece  of 
®new  cloth  on  an  old  garment : else 
the  new  piece  that  filled  it  up  taketh 
away  from  the  old,  and  the  rent  is 
made  worse. 

22  And  no  man  putteth  new  wine 
into  old  bottles  : else  the  new  wine 
doth  burst  the  bottles,  and  the  wine 
is  spilled,  and  the  bottles  will  be 
marred  : but  new  wine  must  be  put 
into  new  bottles. 

23  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  that  he 
went  through  the  corn  fields  on 
the  sabbath  day ; and  his  disciples 
began,  as  they  went,  '‘to  pluck  the 
ears  of  corn. 

24  And  the  Phar-i-sees  said  unto 
him.  Behold,  why  do  they  on  the 
sabbath  day  that  which  is  not 
lawful  ? 

25  And  he  said  unto  them,  Have  ye 
never  read  "‘what  Da-vid  did,  when 
he  had  need,  and  was  an  hungred, 
he,  and  they  that  were  with  him  % 

26  How  he  went  into  the  house  of 
God  in  the  days  of  A-bi-a-thar  the 
high  priest,  and  did  eat  the  shew- 
bread,  "which  is  not  lawful  to  eat 
but  for  the  priests,  and  gave  also 
to  them  which  were  with  him*? 

27  And  he  said  unto  them.  The 
sabbath  was  made  for  man,  and  not 
man  for  the  sabbath : 

28  Therefore  «^the  Son  of  man  is 
Lord  also  of  the  sabbath.

AND  ®he  entered  again  into  the 

AX  synagogue  ; and  there  was  a 
man  there  which  had  a withered 
hand. 

2 And  they  watched  him,  whether 
he  would  heal  him  on  the  sabbath 
day ; that  they  might  accuse  him. 

3 And  he  saith  unto  the  man 
which  had  the  withered  hand, 

^ Stand  forth. 

4 And  he  saith  unto  them.  Is  it 
lawful  to  do  good  on  the  sabbath 
days,  or  to  do  evil  % to  save  life,  or 
to  kill  % But  they  held  their  peace. 

5 And  when  he  had  looked  round 
about  on  them  with  anger,  being 
grieved  for  the  ^hardness  of  their 
hearts,  he  saith  unto  the  man. 
Stretch  forth  thine  hand.  And  he 
stretched  it  out : and  his  hand  was 
restored  whole  as  the  other. 

6 ‘'And  the  Phar-i-sees  went  forth, 
and  straightway  took  counsel  with 
®the  Hg-ro-di-ans  against  him,  how 
they  might  destroy  him. 

7 But  Je-siis  withdrew  himself 
with  his  disciples  to  the  sea : and 
a great  multitude  from  Gal-i-lee 
followed  him,  {and  from  Ju-dse-a, 

8 And  from  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  and  from 
Id-u-mse-a,  and  from  beyond  J6r- 
dan ; and  they  about  Tyre  and  Si- 
d5n,  a great  multitude,  when  they 
had  heard  what  great  things  he  did, 
came  unto  him. 

9 And  he  spake  to  his  disciples, 
that  a small  ship  should  wait  on 
him  because  of  the  multitude,  lest 
they  should  throng  him. 

10  For  he  had  healed  many;  in- 
somuch that  they /pressed  upon 
him  for  to  touch  him,  as  many  as 
had  plagues. 

1 1 And  unclean  spirits,  when  they 
saw  him,  fell  down  before  him,  and 
cried,  saying,  *Thou  art  the  Son  of 
God. 

12  And  'he  straitly  charged  them, 
that  they  should  not  make  him 
known. 

13  "And  he  goeth  up  into  a moun- 
tain, and  calleth  unto  him  whom  he 
would  : and  they  came  unto  him. 

14  And  he  ordained  twelve,  that 
they  should  be  with  him,  and  that 
he  might  send  them  forth  to  preach,

not  so  much  as  eat  bread.

of  it,  they  went  out  to  lay  hold  on 
him : "for  they  said.  He  is  beside 
himself.  .

down  from  Je-ru-sa-lem  said,  ‘^He 
hath  Bc-el-ze-bub,  and  by  the  prince

against  itself,  that  kingdom  cannot 
stand. 

25  And  if  a house  be  divided 
against  itself,  that  house  cannot 
stand. 

26  And  if  SaHan  rise  up  against 
himself,  and  be  divided,  he  cannot 
stand,  but  hath  an  end. 

27  ^No  man  can  enter  into  a strong 
man’s  house,  and  spoil  his  goods, 
except  he  will  first  bind  the  strong 
man;  and  then  he  will  spoil  his 
house. 

28  * Verily  I say  unto  you.  All  sins 
shall  be  forgiven  unto  the  sons  of 
men,  and  blasphemies  wherewith 
soever  they  shall  blaspheme: 

29  But  he  that  shall  blaspheme 
against  the  Holy  Ghost  hath  never 
forgiveness,  but  is  in  danger  of 
eternal  damnation : ^ 

30  Because  they  said.  He  hath  an 
unclean  spirit. 

3 1 U ""  There  came  then  his  breth- 
ren and.  his  mother,  and,  standing 
without,  sent  unto  him,  calling  him. 

32  And  the  multitude  sat  about 
him,  and  they  said  unto  him.  Be- 
hold, thy  mother  and  thy  brethren 
without  seek  for  thee. 

33  And  he  answered  them,  saying. 
Who  is  my  mother,  or  my  brethren  1 

34  And  he  looked  round  about 
on  them  which  sat  about  him,  and 
said.  Behold  my  mother  and  my 
brethren ! 

35  For  whosoever  shall  do  the  will 
of  God,  the  same  is  my  brother,  and 
my  sister,  and  mother.

gathered  unto  him  a great  multi- 

tude, so  that  he  entered  into  a ship, 
and  sat  in  the  sea;  and  the  whole 
multitude  was  by  the  sea  on  the  land. 

2 And  he  taught  them  many  things 
by  parables,  “and  said  unto  them  in 
his  doctrine, 

3 Hearken;  Behold,  there  went 
out  a sower  to  sow; 

4 And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  sowed, 
some  fell  by  the  way  side,  and  the 
fowls  of  the  air  came  and  devoured 
it  up. 

5 And  some  fell  on  stony  ground, 
where  it  had  not  much  earth ; .and 
immediately  it  sprang  up,  because 
it  had  no  depth  of  earth : 

6 But  when  the  sun  was  up,  it  was 
scorched ; and  because  it  had  no 
root,  it  withered  away. 

7 And  some  fell  among  thorns,  and 
the  thorns  grew  up,  and  choked  it, 
and  it  yielded  no  fruit. 

8 And  other  fell  on  good  ground, 
•^and  did  yield  fruit  that  sprang  up 
and  increased ; and  brought  forth, 
some  thirty,  and  some  sixty,  and 
some  an  hundred. 

9 And  he  said  unto  them.  He  that 
hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

10  ^And  when  he  was  alone,  they 
that  were  about  ^ him  with  the 
twelve  asked  of  him  the  parable. 

11  And  he  said  unto  them.  Unto 
you  it  is  given  to  know  the  mystery 
of  the  kingdom  of  God ; but  unto 
*them  that  are  without,  all  these 
things  are  done  in  parables : 

12  ^That  seeing  they  may  see,  and 
not  perceive ; and  hearing  they  may 
hear,  and  not  understand;  lest  at 
any  time  they  should  be  converted, 
and  their  sins  should  be  forgiven 
them. 

13  And  he  said  unto  them,  Know 
ye  not  this  parable  1 and  how  then 
will  ye  know  all  parables  % 

14  If  ”The  sower  soweth  the  word. 

15  And  these  are  they  by  the  way 
side,  where  the  word  is  sown;  but 
when  they  have  heard,  Sa-tan  com- 
eth immediately,  and  taketh  away 
the  word  that  was  sown  in  their 
hearts. 

16  And  these  are  they  likewise 
which  are  sown  on  stony  ground; 
who,  when  they  have  heard  the 
word,  immediately  receive  it  with 
gladness ; 

17  And  have  no  root  in  them- 
selves, and  so  endure  but  for  a 
time  ; afterward,  when  affliction  or 
persecution  ariseth  for  the  word’s 
sake,  immediately  they  are  offended. 

18  And  these  are  they  which  are 
sown  among  thorns ; such  as  hear 
the  word.

The  kingdom  of  God.

Christ  casteth  out 


19  And  the  cares  of  this  world, 
“and  the  deceitfulness  of  riches,  and 
the  lusts  of  other  things  entering 
in,  choke  the  word,  and  it  becom- 
eth  unfruitful. 

20  And  these  are  they  which  are 
sown  on  good  ground ; such  as  hear 
the  word,  and  receive  it,  and  bring 
forth  fruit,  some  thirtyfold,  some 
sixty,  and  some  an  hundred. 

21  IT  *And  he  said  unto  them.  Is 
a candle  brought  to  be  put  under  a 
^bushel,  or  under  a bedT  and  not  to 
be  set  on  a candlestick '? 

22  ‘'For  there  is  nothing  hid,  which 
shall  not  be  manifested ; neither 
was  any  thing  kept  secret,  but  that 
it  should  come  abroad. 

23  ‘*If  any  man  have  ears  to  hear, 
let  him  hear. 

24  And  he  said  unto  them.  Take 
heed  what  ye  hear : ® with  what 
measure  ye  mete,  it  shall  be  meas- 
ured to  you ; and  unto  you  that 
hear  shall  more  be  given. 

25  -^For  he  that  hath,  to  him  shall 
be  given : and  he  that  hath  not, 
from  him  shall  be  taken  even  that 
which  he  hath. 

26  IT  And  he  said,  ^So  is  the  king- 
dom of  God,  as  if  a man  should  cast 
seed  into  the  ground ; 

27  And  should  sleep,  and  rise 
night  and  day,  and  the  seed  should 
spring  and  grow  up,  he  knoweth 
not  how. 

28  For  the  earth  bringeth  forth 
fruit  of  herself ; first  the  blade,  then 
the  ear,  after  that  the  full  corn  in 
the  ear. 

29  But  when  the  fruit  is  ^brought 
forth,  immediately  *he  putteth  in 
the  sickle,  because  the  harvest  is 
come. 

30 1J  And  he  said,  ^ Whereunto  shall 
we  liken  the  kingdom  of  God?  or 
with  what  comparison  shall  we 
compare  it  ? 

31  It  is  like  a grain  of  mustard 
seed,  which,  when  it  is  sown  in  the 
earth,  is  less  than  all  the  seeds  that 
be  in  the  earth : 

32  But  when  it  is  sown,  it  grow 
eth  up,  and  becometh  greater  than 
all  herbs,  and  shooteth  out  great 
branches ; so  that  the  fowls  of  the 
air  may  lodge  under  the  shadow 
of  it. 

33  *And  with  many  such  parables 
spake  he  the  word  unto  them,  as 
they  were  able  to  hear  it. 

34  But  without  a parable  spake 
he  not  unto  them:  and  when  they 
were  alone,  he  expounded  all  things 
to  his  disciples. 

35  ^And  the  same  day,  when  the 
even  was  come,  he  saith  unto  them.

side. 

36  And  when  they  had  sent  away 
the  multitude,  they  took  him  even 
as  he  was  in  the  ship.  And  there 
were  also  with  him  other  little 
ships. 

37  And  there  arose  a great  storm 
of  wind,  and  the  waves  beat  into 
the  ship,  so  that  it  was  now  full. 

38  And  he  was  in  the  hinder  part 
of  the  ship,  asleep  on  a pillow : and 
they  awake  him,  and  say  unto  him. 
Master,  carest  thou  not  that  we 
perish  ? 

39  And  he  arose,  and  rebuked  the 
wind,  and  said  unto  the  sea.  Peace, 
be  still.  And  the  wind  ceased,  and 
there  was  a great  calm. 

40  And  he  said  unto  them.  Why 
are  ye  so  fearful  % how  is  it  that  ye 
have  no  faith  ? 

41  And  they  feared  exceedingly, 
and  said  one  to  another.  What  man- 
ner of  man  is  this,  that  even  the 
wind  and  the  sea  obey  him? 

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Christ  casteth  out  the  legion  of  devils.  25  Ee  healeth  the 
bloody  issue,  35  and  raisefh  Jairus’  daughter, 

AND  *they  came  over  unto  the 
other  side  of  the  sea,  into  the 
country  of  the  GM-a-renes'. 

2 And  when  he  was  come  out  of 
the  ship,  immediately  there  met 
him  out  of  the  tombs  a man  with 
an  unclean  spirit, 

3 Who  had  his  dwelling  among  the 
tombs ; and  no  man  could  bind  him, 
no,  not  with  chains : 

4 Because  that  he  had  been  often 
bound  with  fetters  and  chains,  and 
the  chains  had  been  plucked  asun- 
der by  him,  and  the  fetters  broken 
in  pieces : neither  could  any  Tnan 
tame  him. 

5 And  always,  night  and  day,  he 
was  in  the  mountains,  and  in  the 
tombs,  crying,  and  cutting  himself 
with  stones. 

6 But  when  he  saw  J e-sus  afar  off, 
he  ran  and  worshipped  him, 

7 And  cried  with  a loud  voice,  and 
said.  What  have  I to  do  with  thee, 
Je-sus,  thou  Son  of  the  most  high 
God?  I adjure  thee  by  God,  that 
thou  torment  me  not. 

8 For  he  said  unto  him.  Come  out 
of  the  man,  thou  unclean  spirit. 

9 And  he  asked  him.  What  is  thy 
name?  And  he  answered,  saying. 
My  name  is  Legion:  for  we  are 
many. 

10  And  he  besought  him  much 
that  he  would  not  send  them  away 
out  of  the  country. 

11  Now  there  was  there  nigh  unto

the  legion  of  devils. 


St.  mark,  5. 


Jairuf  daughter  raised. 


the  mountains  a great  herd  of  swine 

1 2 And  all  the  devils  besought  him, 
saying,  Send  us  into  the  swine,  that 
we  may  enter  into  them. 

1 3 And  forthwith  J e-sus  gave  them 

leave.  And  the  unclean  spirits  went 
out,  and  entered  into  the  swine : and 
the  herd  ran  violently  down  a steep 
place  into  the  sea,  (they  were  about 
two  thousand;)  and  were  choked 
in  the  sea.  „ , , 

14  And  they  that  fed  the  swine 
fled,  and  told  it  in  the  city,  and 
in  the  country.  And  they  went 
out  to  see  what  it  was  that  was 
done. 

15  And  they  come  to  Je-sus,  and 
see  him  that  was  possessed  with  the 
devil,  and  had  the  legion,  sitting, 
and  clothed,  and  in  his  right  mind : 
and  they  were  afraid. 

16  And  they  that  saw  it  told  them 
how  it  befell  to  him  that  was  pos- 
sessed with  the  devil,  and  also  con- 
cerning the  swine. 

1 7 And  they  began  to  pray  him 
to  depart  out  of  their  coasts. 

18  And  when  he  was  come  into 
the  ship,  ®he  that  ^d  been  pos- 
sessed with  the  devil  prayed  him 
that  he  might  be  with  him. 

19  Howbeit  Je-sus  suffered  him 
not,  but  saith  unto  him.  Go  home 
to  thy  friends,  and  tell  them  how 
great  things  the  Lord  hath  done  for 
thee,  and  hath  had  compassion  on 
thee. 

20  And  he  departed,  and  began 
to  publish  in  De-eap-5-lis  how  great 
things  Je-siis  had  done  for  him : and 
all  men  did  marvel. 

21  -^And  when  Je-stis  was  passed 
over  again  by  ship  unto  the  other 
side,  much  people  gathered  unto 
him:  and  he  was  nigh  unto  the 
sea. 

22  And,  behold,  there  cometh  one 
of  the  rulers  of  the  synagogue,  J a- 
i-rus  by  name ; and  when  he  saw 
him,  he  fell  at  his  feet, 

23  And  besought  him  greatly,  say- 
ing, My  little  daughter  lieth  at  the 
point  of  death : I pray  thee,  come 
and  lay  thy  hands  on  her,  that 
she  may  be  healed;  and  she  shall 
live. 

24  And  Je-siXs  went  with  him, 
and  much  people  followed  him,  and 
thronged  him. 

25  And  a certain  woman,  which 
had  an  issue  of  blood  twelve  years

sus,  came  in  the  press  behind,  and 

touched  his  garment. 

28  For  she  said.  If  I may  touch 
but  his  clothes,  I shall  be  whole. 

29  And  straightway  the  fountain 
of  her  blood  was  dried  up  ; and  she 
felt  in  her  body  that  she  was  healed 
of  that  plague. 

30  And  Je^§us,  immediately  know- 
mg  in  himself  that  “virtue  had  gone 
out  of  him,  turned  him  about  in 
the  press,  and  said,  Who  touched 
my  clothes 

31  And  his  disciples  said  unto  hm. 
Thou  seest  the  multitude  thronging 
thee,  and  sayest  thou.  Who  touched 

ae'? 

32  And  he  looked  round  about  to 
see  her  that  had  done  this  thing. 

33  But  the  woman  fearing  and 
trembling,  knowing  what  was  done 
in  her,  came  and  fell  down  be- 
fore him,  and  told  him  all  the 
truth. 

34  And  he  said  unto  her.  Daughter, 

^ thy  faith  hath  made  thee  whole ; 
go  in  peace,  and  be  whole  of  thy 
plague. 

35  While  he  yet  spake,  there  came 
from  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue’s 
house  certain  which  said.  Thy  daugh- 
ter is  dead : why  troublest  thou  the 
Master  any  further  1 

36  As  soon  as  Je-sus  heard  the 
word  that  was  spoken,  he  saith 
unto  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue. 
Be  not  afraid,  only  believe. 

37  And  he  suffered  no  man  to 
follow  him,  save  Pe-ter,  and  James, 
and  J5hn  the  brother  of  James. 

38  And  he  cometh  to  the  house 
of  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  and 
seeth  the  tumult,  and  them  that 
wept  and  wailed  greatly. 

39  And  when  he  was  come  in,  he 
saith  unto  them.  Why  make  ye  this 
ado,  and  weepi  the  damsel  is  not 
dead,  but  ^‘sleepeth. 

40  And  they  laughed  him  to  scorn. 
*But  when  he  had  put  them  all  out, 
he  taketh  the  father  and  the  mother 
of  the  damsel,  and  them  that  were 
with  him,  and  entereth  in  where 
the  damsel  was  lying. 

41  And  he  took  the  damsel  by  the 
hand,  and  said  unto  her,  Tal-i-tha 
■euhni ; which  is,  being  interpreted, 
Damsel,  I say  unto  thee,  arise. 

42  And  straightway  the  damsel 
arose,  and  walked ; for  she  was  of 
the  age  of  twelve  years.  And  they 
were  astonished  with  a great  aston- 
ishment. 

43  And  *he  charged  them  straitly 
that  no  man  should  know  it ; and 
commanded  that  something  should 
be  given  her  to  eat.

And  they  * were  offended  at  him. 

4 But  Je-sus  said  unto  them,  *A 
prophet  is  not  without  honour,  but 
in  his  own  country,  and  among  his 
own  kin,  and  in  his  own  house. 

5 "‘And  he  could  there  do  no 
mighty  work,  save  that  he  laid  his 
hands  upon  a few  sick  folk,  and 
healed  them. 

6 And  "he  marvelled  because  of 
their  unbelief.  ‘'And  he  went  round 
about  the  villages,  teaching.  ^ 

7 H *^And  he  called  unto  him  the 
twelve,  and  began  to  send  them 
forth  by  two  and  two ; and  gave 
them  power  over  unclean  spirits ; 

8 And  commanded  them  that  they 
should  take  nothing  for  their  jour- 
ney, save  a staff  only ; no  scrip,  no 
bread,  no  ^ money  in  their  purse : 

9 But  ^he  shod  with  sandals ; and 
not  put  on  two  coats. 

10  ‘’And  he  said  unto  them.  In 
what  place  soever  ye  enter  into  an 
house,  there  abide  till  ye  depart 
from  that  place. 

11  “And  whosoever  shall  not  re- 
ceive you,  nor  hear  yoru  when  ye 
depart  thence,  * shake  on  the  dust 
under  your  feet  for  a testimony 
against  them.  Verily  I say  unto 
you.  It  shall  be  more  tolerable  for 
S6d-6m  °and  G6-m5r-rha  in  the  day 
of  judgment,  than  for  that  city. 

1 2 And  they  went  out,  and  preach- 
ed that  men  should  repent. 

1 3 And  they  cast  out  many  devils, 
^and  anointed  with  oil  many  that 
were  sick,  and  healed  them. 

14  ^And  king  Hgr-Cd  heard  of 
, him ; (for  his  name  was  spread 

abroad ;)  and  he  said.  That  J6hn

dead,  and  therefore  mighty  works 
do  shew  forth  themselves  in  him.

15  “Others  said.  That  it  is  E-li-as. 
And  others  said.  That  it  is  a proph- 
et, or  as  one  of  the  prophets. 

16  *But  when  Her-od  heard  there- 
of, he  said.  It  is  John,  whom  I be- 
headed : he  is  risen  from  the  dead. 

17  For  HOr-Od  himself  had  sent 
forth  and  laid  hold  upon  John,  and 
bound  him  in  prison  for  HO-ro-di- 
as’  sake,  his  brother  Phil-ip's  wife : 
for  he  had  married  her. 

18  For  John  had  said  unto  HOr-Od, 
®It  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  have 
thy  brother’s  wife. 

19  Therefore  He-ro-di-as  had 
quarrel  against  him,  and  would 
have  killed  him ; but  she  could  not : 

20  For  Her-Od  •''feared  John, 
knowing  that  he  was  a just  rnan 
and  an  holy,  and  ^observed  hirn: 
and  when  he  heard  him,  he  did 
many  things,  and  heard  him  gladly. 

21  ‘And  when  a convenient  day 
was  come,  that  Her-Od  * on  his 
birthday  made  a supper  to  his 
lords,  high  captains,  and  chief 
estates  of  Gal-i-lee; 

22  And  when  the  daughter  of  the 
said  He-ro-di-ascamein,  and  danced, 
and  pleased  Her-Od  and  them  that 
sat  with  him,  the  king  said  unto 
the  damsel.  Ask  of  me  whatsoever 
thou  wilt,  and  I will  give  it  thee. 

23  And  he  s ware  unto  her,  ^What- 
soever thou  shalt  ask  of  me,  I will 
give  it  thee,  unto  the  half  of  my 
kingdom. 

24  And  she  went  forth,  and  said 
unto  her  mother.  What  shall  I ask  ? 
And  she  said.  The  head  of  John  the 
Bap-tist. 

25  And  she  came  in  straightway 
with  haste  unto  the  king,  and 
asked,  saying,  I will  that  thou  give 
me  by  and  by  in  a charger  the  head 
of  John  the  Bap-tist. 

26  ^And  the  king  was  exceeding 
sorry ; yet  for  his  oath’s  sake,  and 
for  their  sakes  which  sat  with  him, 
he  would  not  reject  her. 

27  And  immediately  the  king  sent 

^an  executioner,  and  commanded 
his  head  to  be  brought:  and  he 
went  and  beheaded  him  in  the 
prison,  , , . , , . , 

28  And  brought  his  nead  in  a char- 
ger, and  gave  it  to  the  damsel : and 
the  damsel  gave  it  to  her  mother. 

29  And  when  his  disciples  heard 
of  it,  they  came  and  took  up  his 
corpse,  and  laid  it  in  a tomb. 

30  “And  the  apostles  gathered 
themselves  together  unto  Je-siis, 
and  told  him  all  things,  both  what 
they  had  done,  and  what  they  had 
taught.

ve  yourselves  apart  into  a desert 
place,  and  rest  a while : for  “there 
were  many  coming  and  going,  and 
they  had  no  leisure  so  much  as  to 

^32  '^And  they  departed  into  a 
desert  place  by  ship  privately. 

33  And  the  people  saw  them  de- 
parting, and  many  knew  him,  and 
ran  afoot  thither  out  of  all  cities, 
and  outwent  them,  and  came  to- 
gether unto  him. 

34  ‘^And  Je-sus,  when  he  came 
out,  saw  much  people,  and  was 
moved  with  compassion  toward 
them,  because  they  were  as  sheep 
not  having  a shepherd:  and  "he 
began  to  teach  them  many  things. 

35  ^And  when  the  day  was  now 
far  spent,  his  disciples  came  unto 
him,  and  said.  This  is  a desert  place, 
and  now  the  time  is  far  pa,ssed  : 

36  Send  them  away,  that  they 

may  go  into  the  country  round 
about,  and  into  the  vil]  ages,  and 
buy  themselves  bread : for  they 
have  nothing  to  eat.  . 

37  He  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Give  ye  them  to  eat.  And 
they  say  unto  him,  * Shall  we  go  and 
buy  two  hundred  ^ pennyworth  ot 
bread , and  give  them  to  eat  1 

38  He  saith  unto  them.  How  many 
loaves  have  ye*?  go  and  see.  And 
when  they  knew,  they  say,  *Five, 
and  two  fishes. 

39  And  he  commanded  them  to 
make  all  sit  down  by  companies 
upon  the  green  grass. 

40  And  they  sat  down  in  ranks, 
by  hundreds,  and  by  fifties. 

41  And  when  he  had  taken  the 
five  loaves  and  the  two  fishes,  he 
looked  up  to  heaven,  ”and  blessed, 
and  brake  the  loaves,  and  gave 
them  to  his  disciples  to  set  before 
them ; and  the  two  fishes  divided 
he  among  them  all. 

42  And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were 

filled.  ^ 

43  And  they  took  up  twelve  bas- 
kets full  of  the  fragments,  and  of 
fcho  fisli0S. 

44  And  they  that  did  eat  of  the 
loaves  were  about  five  thousand 
men. 

45  ^'And  straightway  he  con- 
strained his  disciples  to  get  into 
the  ship,  and  to  go  to  the  other  side 
before  ^unto  Beth-sa-i-da,  while  he 
sent  away  the  iieople. 

46  And  when  he  had  sent  them 
away,  he  departed  into  a mountain 
to  pray.

48  And  he  saw  them  toiling  in 
rowing ; for  the  wind  was  contrary 
unto  them:  and  about  the  fourth 
watch  of  the  night  he  cometh  unto 
them,  walking  upon  the  sea,  and 
"would  have  passed  by  them. 

49  But  when  they  saw  him  walk- 
ing upon  the  sea,  they  supposed  it 
had  been  a spirit,  and  cried  out : 

50  For  they  all  saw  him,  and 
were  troubled.  And  immediately 
he  talked  with  them,  and  saith 
unto  them.  Be  of  good  cheer : it 
is  I;  be  not  afraid. 

51  And  he  went  up  unto  them  in- 
to the  ship ; and  the  wind  cea^sed : 
and  they  were  sore  amazed  in 
themselves  beyond  measure,  and 
wondered. 

52  For  ^^they  considered  not  ttw

of  the  ship,  straightway  they  knew 
him,  - 

55  And  ran  through  that  whole 
region  round  about,  and  began  to 
carry  about  in  beds  those  that  were 
sick,  where  they  heard  he  was. 

56  And  whithersoever  he  entered, 
into  villages,  or  cities,  or  country, 
they  laid  the  sick  in  the  streets, 
and  besought  him  that they  might 
touch  if  it  were  but  the  border 
of  his  garment : and  as  many  as 
touched  ^him  were  made  whole. 

CHAPTER  7. 

1 The  Pharisees  find  fault  at  the  disciples  for  eating  with 
unwashen  hands.  U Meat  defilethwt  the  man.  24  Christ 
healeth  the  Syrophenician  woman's  daughter,  31  awl  one 
that  was  deaf,  and  stammered  in  his  speech. 

Then  "came  together  unto  him 
the  Phar-i-sees,  and  certain  qt 
the  scribes,  which  came  from  Je- 
ru-sa-l6m.  . 

2 And  when  they  saw  some  of  his 
disciples  eat  bread  with  ® defiled, 
that  is  to  say,  with  unwashen, 
hands,  they  found  fault. 

3 For  the  Phar-i-sees,  and  all  the 
Jews,  except  they  wash  their  hands 
‘‘oft ’eat  not,  holding  the  tradition 
of  the  elders. 

4 And  when  they  come  from  the 
market,  except  they  wash,  they  eat 
not.  And  many  other  things  there 
be,  which  they  have  received  to 
hold,  as  the  washing  of  cups,  and 
®pots,  brasen  vessels,  and  of  ’tables. 
5 «Then  the  Phar-i-see§  and  scribes 
asked  him.  Why  walk  not  thy  dis- 
ciples according  to  the  tradition  of 
the  elders,  but  eat  bread  with  un- 
washen  hands  1

6 He  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Well  hath  E-sa-ias  ][)rophesied 
of  you  hypocrites,  as  it  is  written, 
*’This  people  honoureth  me  with 
their  lips,  but  their  heart  is  far 
from  me. 

7 Howbeit  in  vain  do  they  wor- 
ship me,  teaching  for  doctrines  the 
commandnients  of  men. 

8 For  laying  aside  the  command- 
ment of  God,  ye  hold  the  tradition 
of  men,  as  the  washing  of  pots  and 
cups : and  many  other  such  like 
things  ye  do. 

9 And  he  said  unto  them,  Full 
well  ye  ^reject  the  commandment 
of  God,  that  ye  may  keep  your 
own  tradition. 

10  For  Mo-ses  said,  ® Honour  thy 
father  and  thy  mother;  and,  ‘^Who- 
so curseth  father  or  mother,  let 
him  die  the  death: 

1 1 But  ye  say.  If  a man  shall  say 
to  his  father  or  mother.  It  is  ®-G6r- 
ban,  that  is  to  say,  a gift,  by  what- 
soever thou  mightest  be  profited  by 
me  ; he  shall  be  free. 

12  And  ye  suffer  him  no  more 
to  do  ought  for  his  father  or  his 
mother ; 

13  Making  the  word  of  God  of 
none  effect  through  your  tradition, 
which  ye  have  delivered : and  many 
such  like  things  do  ye. 

14  H And  when  he  had  called  all 
the  people  unto  him,  he  said  unto 
them.  Hearken  unto  me  every  one 
of  you,  and  understand  : 

15  There  is  nothing  from  without 
a man,  that  entering  into  him  can 
defile  him  : but  the  things  which 
come  out  of  him,  those  are  they 
that  defile  the  man. 

1 6 * If  any  man  have  ears  to  hear, 
let  him  hear. 

1 7 ” And  when  he  was  entered  into 
the  house  from  the  people,  his  dis- 
ciples asked  him  concerning  the 
parable. 

1 8 And  he  saith  unto  them.  Are  ye 
so  without  understanding  also  ? Do 
ye  not  perceive,  that  whatsoever 
thing  from  without  entereth  into 
the  man,  it  cannot  defile  him; 

19  Because  it  entereth  not  into 
his  heart,  but  into  the  belly,  and 
goeth  out  into  the  draught,  purg- 
ing all  meats'?^ 

20  And  he  said.  That  which  com- 
eth  out  of  the  man,  that  defileth 
the  man. 

21  «For  from  within,  out  of  the 
heart  of  men,  proceed  evil  thoughts, 
adulteries,  fornications,  murders, 

22  Thefts,  ^covetousness,  wicked- 
ness, deceit,  lasciviousness,  an  evil 
eye,  blasphemy,  pride,  foolishness :

24  U “And  from  thence  he  arose, 
and  went  into  the  borders  of  Tyre 
and  Si-d5n,  and  entered  into  an 
house,  and  would  have  no  man 
know  it : but  he  could  not  be  hid. 

25  For  a certain  woman,  whose 
young  daughter  had  an  unclean 
spirit,  heard  of  him,  and  came  and 
fell  at  his  feet : 

26  The  woman  was  a Greek,  a Sy- 
ro-phe-ni-cian  by  nation;  and  she 
besought  him  that  he  would  cast 
forth  the  devil  out  of  her  daughter. 

27  But  Je-sus  said  unto  her.  Let 
the  children  first  be  filled  : tor  it 
is  not  meet  to  take  the  children’s 
bread,  and  to  cast  it  unto  the  dogs. 

28  And  she  answered  and  said 
unto  him.  Yes,  Lord  : yet  the  dogs 
under  the  table  eat  of  tne  children’s 
crumbs. 

29  And  he  said  unto  her.  For  thi'5 
saying  go  thy  way ; the  devil  is  gone 
out  of  thy  daughter. 

30  And  when  she  was  come  to  her 
house,  she  found  the  devil  gone  out, 
and  her  daughter  laid  upon  the  bed. 

31  U -^And  again,  departing  from 
the  coasts  of  Tyre  and  Si-d5n,  he 
came  unto  the  sea  of  Gal-i-lee, 
through  the  midst  of  the  coasts 
of  De-cap-5-lis. 

32  And  ^they  bring  unto  him  one 
that  was  deaf,  and  had  an  impedi- 
ment in  his  speech  ; and  they  be- 
seech him  to  put  his  hand  upon 
him. 

33  And  he  took  him  aside  from 
the  multitude,  and  put  his  fingers 
into  his  ears,  and  *he  spit,  and 
touched  his  tongue; 

34  And  Gooking  up  to  heaven, 
’^he  sighed,  and  saith  unto  him, 
Eph-pha-tha,  that  is,  Be  opened. 

35  "And  straightway  his  ears  were 
opened,  and  the  string  of  his  tongue 
was  loosed,  and  he  spake  plain. 

36  And  ^he  charged  them  that  they 
should  tell  no  man : but  the  more 
he  charged  them,  so  much  the  more 
a great  deal  they  published  it ; 

37  And  were  beyond  measure  as- 
tonished, saying.  He  hath  done  all 
things  well : he  maketh  both  the 
deaf  to  hear,  and  the  dumb  to

Pharisees : 22  giveth  a blind  man  his  sight : 27  acknowl- 
edgefh  that  he  is  the  Christ,  who  should  suffer  and  rise 
again:  34  and  exhorteth  to  patience  in  persecution. 

IN  those  days  ’'the  multitude  being 
very  great,  and  having  nothing 
to  eat,^  Je-stis  called  his  disciples 
unto  him,  and  saith  unto  them.

Four  thousand  fed. 

2 I have  compassion  on  the  mul- 

titude, because  they  have  now 
been  with  me  three  days,  and  have 
nothing  to  eat : „ 

3 And  if  I send  them  away  tast- 
ing to  their  own  houses,  they  will 
faint  by  the  way:  for  divers  ot 
them  came  from  far. 

4 And  his  disciples  answered  him. 

From  whence  can  a man  satisty 
these  men  with  bread  here  in  the 
wilderness  % ^ ^ 

5 “^And  he  asked  them.  How  many 
loaves  have  ye”?  And  they  said, 

^6^And  he  commanded  the  people 
to  sit  down  on  the  ground ; and 
he  took  the  seven  loaves,  and  gave 
thanks,  and  brake,  and  gave  to  his 
disciples  to  set  before  mem;  and 
they  did  set  them  before  the 

^7^nd  they  had  a few  small  fishes : 
and  -^he  blessed,  and  commanded  to 
set  them  also  before  them. 

8 So  they  did  eat,  and  were  hlled : 
and  they  took  up  of  the  broken 
meat  that  was  left  seven  baskets. 

9 And  they  that  had  eaten  were 
about  four  thousand : and  he  sent 

them  away.  , , _ ^ x.  a 

10  And  'straightway  he  entered 
into  a ship  with  his  disciples,  and 
came  into  the  parts  of  Dal-ma-nu- 

ll‘  'And  the  Phar^i-sees  came 
forth,  and  began  to  question  with 
him,  seeking  of  him  a sign  from 
heaven,  tempting  him.  . 

12  And  he  sighed  deeply  m his 
spirit,  and  saith,  Why  doth  this 
generation  seek  after  a signl  verily 
I say  unto  you.  There  shall  no  sign 
be  given  unto  this  generation.  ^ 

13  And  he  left  them,  and  entering 
into  the  ship  again  departed  to  the 

other  side.  , . • 7 i j £ 

14  H ^'Now  the  disciples  had  tor- 
gotten  to  take  bread,  neither  had 
they  in  the  ship  with  them  more 
than  one  loaf.

Take  heed,  beware  of  the  leaven  ot 
the  Phar-i-sees,  and  of  the  leaven 
of  H&r-6d. 

16  And  they  reasoned  among 

themselves,  saying.  It  is  because 
we  have  no  bread.  , 

17  And  when  Je^us  knew  it,  he 
saith  unto  them.  Why  reason  ye, 
because  ye  have  no  breads  'per-

22  ^ And  he  cometh  to  Retlu 

sa4-da;  and^  they  bring  a blind

to  touch  him.  ^ n 

23  And  he  took  the  blind  man 
by  the  hand,  and  led  him  out  01 
the  town ; and  when  ®he  had  spit  on 
his  eyes,  and  put  his  hands  upon 
him,  he  asked  him  if  he  saw  ought. 

24  And  he  looked  up,  and  said,  i 
see  men  as  trees,  walking. 

25  After  that  he  put  his  hands 

again  upon  his  eyes,  and  made  him 
look  up : and  he  was  restored,  and 
saw  every  man  clearly.  . 

26  And  he  sent  him  away  to  his 
house,  saying.  Neither  go  into  the 
town,  ^nor  tell  it  to  any  in  the  town. 

27  H ''And  Je-sus  went  out,  and  his 
disciples,  into  the  towns  of  Cjes-a- 
re-a  Phi-lip-pi : and  by  the  way  he 
asked  his  disciples,  saying  unto 
them.  Whom  do  men  say  that  i am  k 

28  And  they  answered^  *J6hn  the 
Bap-tist : but  some  say,  E-li-as  ; and 
others.  One  of  the  prophets. 

29  And  he  saith  unto  them.  But 
whom  say  ye  that  I ami  And 
Pe-ter  answereth  and  saith  unto 
him,  ^Thou  art  the  -Ghrist. 

30  ”And  he  charged  them  that 
they  should  tell  no  man  of  him. 

31  And  °he  began  to  teach  th^, 
that  the  Son  of  man  must  suiter 
many  things,  and  be  rejected  ot 
the  elders,  and  of  the  chief  priests, 
and  scribes,  and  be  killed,  and  after 
three  days  rise  again. 

32  And  he  spake  that  saying  open- 

ly. And  Pe-ter  took  him,  and  be- 
gan to  rebuke  him.  1 i - 

33  But  when  he  had  turned  about 
and  looked  on  his  disciples,  he  re- 
buked Pe-ter,  saying.  Get  thee  be- 
hind me,  Sa'-tan  : for  thou  savourest 
not  the  things  that  be  of  God,  but 

the  things  that  be  of  men. 

34  H And  when  he  had  called  the 

people  unto  him  with  his  disciples 
also,  he  said  unto  them,  * Whosoever 
will  come  after  me,  let  him  deny 
himself,  and  take  up  his  cross,  and 
follow  me.  , . 

35  For  “whosoever  will  save  his

shall  lose  his  life  for  my  sake  ana

CHAPTER  9. 

2 Jesus  is  trans/Ufured.  U Concerning  the  coming  of  Elias, 
14  He  casteth  forth  a dumb  and  deaf  spirit:  ZO  foretelleth 
his  death  and  resurrection : 33  exlMrteth  his  disciples  to 
humility:  38  bidding  them  not  to  prohibit  such  as  be  not 
against  them. 

AND  he  said  unto  them,  ^Verily 
Jl\.  I say  unto  you,  That  there  be 
some  of  them  that  stand  here, 
which  shall  not  taste  of  death,  till 
they  have  seen  '*the  kingdom  of 
God  come  with  power. 

2 U *And  after  six  days  Je-siis  tak- 
eth  with  him  Pe-ter,  and  James,  and 
J5hn^  and  leadeth  them  up  into 
an  high  mountain  apart  by  them- 
selves : and  he  was  transfigured 
before  them. 

3 And  his  raiment  became  shin- 
ing, exceeding  * white  as  snow ; so 
as  no  fuller  on  earth  can  white 
them. 

4 And  there  appeared  unto  them 
E-li-as  with  Mo-ses  : and  they  were 
talking  with  Je-sus. 

5 And  Pe-ter  answered  and  said 
to  Je-sus,  Master,  it  is  good  for  us 
to  be  here : and  let  us  make  three 
tabernacles ; one  for  thee,  and  one 
for  Mo-s6s,  and  one  for  E-li-as. 

6 For  he  wist  not  what  to  say ; 
for  they  were  sore  afraid. 

7 And  there  was  a cloud  that  over- 
shadowed them : and  a voice  came 
out  of  the  cloud,  saying,  This  is 
my  beloved  Son : hear  him. 

8 And  suddenly,  when  they  had 
looked  round  about,  they  saw  no 
man  any  more,  save  Je-sus  only 
with  themselves. 

9 "*And  as  they  came  down  from 
the  mountain,  he  charged  them  that 
they  should  tell  no  man  what  things 
they  had  seen,  till  the  Son  of  man 
were  risen  from  the  dead. 

10  And  they  kept  that  saying  with 
themselves,  questioning  one  with 
another  what  the  rising  from  the 
dead  should  mean. 

11  H And  they  asked  him,  saying. 
Why  say  the  scribes  "that  E-li-as 
must  first  cornel 

12  And  he  answered  and  told 
them,  E-li-as  verily  cometh  first, 
and  restore th  all  things ; and  «how

it  is  written  of  the  Son  of  man,  that

IS  indeed  come,  and  they  have  done 
unto  him  whatsoever  they  listed,  as 
it  is  written  of  him. 

14  U ® And  when  he  came  to  his 
disciples,  he  saw  a great  multitude 
about  them,  and  the  scribes  ques- 
tioning with  them. 

15  And  straightway  all  the  people, 
when  they  beheld  him,  were  greatly 
amazed,  and  running  to  him  saluted 
him. 

16  And  he  asked  the  scribes,  What 
question  ye  ^ with  them  1 

17  And  •''one  of  the  multitude  an- 
swered and  said.  Master,  1 have 
brought  unto  thee  my  son,  which 
hath  a dumb  spirit; 

18  And  wheresoever  he  taketh 
him,  he  ^teareth  him  : and  he 
foameth,  and  gnasheth  with  his 
teeth,  and  pineth  away:  and  I 
spake  to  thy  disciples  that  they 
should  cast  him  out;  and  they 
could  not. 

19  He  answereth  him,  and  saith,  O 
faithless  generation,  how  long  shall 
I be  with  you?  how  long  shall  1 
suffer  you?  bring  him  unto  me. 

20  And  they  brought  him  unto 
him  : and  ^when  he  saw  him, 

'aightway  the  spirit  tare  him: 
and  he  fell  on  the  ground,  and 
wallowed  foaming. 

21  And  he  asked  his  father,  How 
long  is  it  ago  since  this  came  unto 
him  ? And  he  said.  Of  a child. 

^ 22  And  ofttimes  it  hath  cast  him 
into  the  fire,  and  into  the  waters, 
to  destroy  him : but  if  thou  canst 
do  any  thing,  have  compassion  on 
us,  and  help  us. 

23  Je-shs  said  unto  him,  "'If  thou 
canst  believe,  all  things  are  possible 
to  him  that  believeth. 

24  And  straightway  the  father  of 
the  child  cried  out,  and  said  with 
tears,  Lord,  I believe;  help  thou 
mine  unbelief. 

25  When  Je-siis  saw  that  the  people 
came  running  together,  he  rebuked 
the  foul  spirit,  saying  unto  him. 
Thou  dumb  and  deaf  spirit,  I charge 
thee,  come  out  of  him,  and  enter  no 
more  into  him. 

26  And  the  spirit  cried,  and  rent 
him  sore,  and  came  out  or  him : and 
he  was  as  one  dead  ; insomuch  that 
many  said.  He  is  dead. 

27  But  Je^sus  took  him  by  the 
hand,  and  lilted  him  up;  and  he 
arose.

shall  be  last  of  all,  and  servant  ot  all.

him  in  the  midst  of  them : and 
when  he  had  taken  him  in  his  arms, 
he  said  unto  them,  .

because  he  followeth  not  us.

do  a miracle  in  my  name,  that  can

5 And  Je-siis  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  For  the  hardness  ot 
your  heart  he  wrote  you  this 

^e^sTt^  from  the  beginning  of  the 
creation  '^God  made  them  male  and 

female.  , „ , 

7 * For  this  cause  shall  a man  leave 
his  father  and  mother,  and  cleave 

to  his  wife ; . , „ i 

8 And  they  twain  shall  be  one 

flesh:  so  then  they  are  no  more 
twain,  but  one  flesh.  , ^ , 

9 What  therefore  God  hath  ]Oined 
together,  let  not  man  put  asunder. 

10  And  in  the  house  his  dis- 
ciples asked  him  again  of  the  same 

^And  he  saith  unto  them,  * Who- 
soever shall  put  away  his  wife,  and 
marry  another,  committeth  adultery 
against  her. 

12  And  if  a woman  shall  put  away 


Of  eternal 


her  husband,  and  be  married  to  an 

othen  she  committeth  adultery. 

13  U *And  they  brought  youn 
children  to  him,  that  he  shoula 
touch  them : and  hi&  disciples  re- 
buked those  that  brought  them. 

14  But  when  Je-stis  saw  it,  he 
was  much  displeased,  and  said  unto 
them.  Suffer  the  little  children  to 
come  unto  me,  and  forbid  them 

is  the  kingdom 

or  God. 

15  Verily  I say  unto  you,  ^ Whoso- 
ever  shall  not  receive  the  kingdom 
or  God  as  a little  child,  he  shall  not 
enter  therein. 

16  And  he  took  them  up  in  his 
arms,  put  his  hands  upon  them,  and 
blessed  them. 

, 17  ^ ^And  when  he  was  gone  forth 
into  the  way,  there  came  one  run- 
mng,  and  kneeled  to  him,  and  asked 
him.  Good  Master,  what  shall  I do 
that  I may  inherit  eternal  life  ? 

18  And  Je-sus  said  unto  him.  Why 
callest  thou  me  good  ? there  is  none 
good  but  one,  that  is,  God. 

19  Thou  knowest  the  command- 
ments, *Do  not  commit  adultery, 
JJo  not  kill.  Do  not  steal.  Do  not 
bear  false  witness.  Defraud  not 
Honour  thy  father  and  mother. 

20  And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Master,  all  these  have  I ob- 
served from  my  youth. 

2 1 Then  J e%us  beholding  him  loved 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  One  thing 
thou  lackest : go  thy  way,  sell  what- 
soever thou  hast,  and  give  to  the 
poor,  and  thou  shalthave  "“^treasure 
in  heaven : and  come,  take  up  the 
cross,  and  follow  me. 

22  And  he  was  sad  at  that  saying, 
and  went  away  grieved  : for  he  had 
great  possessions. 

23  II  ” And  Je-sus  looked  round 
about,  and  saith  unto  his  disciples. 
How  hardly  shall  they  that  have 
nches  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
God ! 

. 24  And  the  disciples  were  aston- 
ished at  his  words.  But  Je-sus 
answereth  again,  and  saith  unto 
them.  Children,  how  hard  is  it  for 
them  ° that  trust  in  riches  to  enter 
into  the  kingdom  of  God  \ 

25  It  is  easier  for  a camel  to  go 
through  the  eye  of  a needle,  than 
tor  a rich  man  to  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  God. 

26  And  they  were  astonished  out 
ot  measure,  saying  among  them- 

can  be  saved  ^ 
looking  upon  them 
saith.  With  men  it  is  impossible, 
but  not  with  God:  for  *with  God 
3.11  things  are  possible.

28  U “ Then  Pe-ter  began  to  say 
unto  him,  Lo,  we  have  left  all, 
and  have  followed  thee. 

29  And  Je-stis  answered  and  said, 
Verily  I say  unto  you.  There  is  no 
man  that  hath  left  house,  or  breth- 
ren, 9r  sisters,  or  father,  or  mother, 
or  wife,  or  children,  or  lands,  for

persecutions ; and  in  the  world  to 
come  eternal  life. 

31  ^But  many  that  are  first  shall 
be  last ; and  the  last  first. 

32  U ^'And  they  were  in  the  way 
going  up  to  JAru-s4-lem;  and  Je- 
stis  went  before  them:  and  they 
were  amazed ; and  as  they  followed, 
they  were  afraid.  *And  he  took 
again  the  twelve,  and  began  to  tell 
them  what  things  should  happen 
unto  him, 

33  Saying,  Behold,  we  go  up  to 
3 e-m-sa-lem ; and  the  Son  of  man 
shall  be  delivered  unto  the  chief 
priests,  and  unto  the  scribes : and 
they  shall  condemn  him  to  death, 
and  shall  deliver  him  to  the  Gen- 
tiles : 

And  they  shall  mock  him,  and 
shall  scourge  him,  and  shall  spit 
upon  him,  and  shall  kill  him : and 
the  third  day  he  shall  rise  again. 

35  ^ ^And  James  and  Jdhn,  the 
sons  of  Zeb-e-dee,  come  unto  him, 
saying,  Master,  we  would  that  thou 
shouldest  do  for  us  whatsoever  we 
shall  desire. 

36  And  he  said  unto  them.  What 
would  ye  that  I should  do  for  you  ? 

37  They  said  unto  him.  Grant 
unto  us  that  we  may  sit,  one  on 
thy  right  hand,  and  the  other  on 
thy  left  hand,  in  thy  glory. 

38  But  Je-siis  said  unto  them.  Ye 
know  not  what  ye  ask : can  ye 
drink  of  the  cup  that  I drink  ofl 

X T baptized  with  the  baptism 
that  1 am  baptized  with? 

39  And  they  said  unto  him.  We 
can.  And  J e-siis  said  unto  them, 
Ve  shall  indeed  drink  of  the  cup 
that  I drink  of ; and  with  the  bap- 
tism that  I am  baptized  withal  shall 
ye  be  baptized : 

40  But  to  sit  on  nay  right  hand 
and  on  my  left  hand  is  not  mine  to 
^ive:  but  shall  he  given  to  them 
or  whom  it  is  prepared. 

^And  when  the  ten  heard  it. 
thev  began  to  be  much  displeased 
with  James  and  Jhhn. 

42  But  Je-shs  called  them  to  him, 
and  saith  unto  them,  ’’Ye  know  that

out,  and  say,  Je-stis,  thou  son  ot

should  hold  his  peace  ; but  he  cried

manded him  to  be  called.  And  they 
call  the  blind  man,  saying  unto  him. 
Be  of  good  comfort,  rise ; he  calleth 
thee.  , , . 

50  And  he,  casting  away  his  gar- 
ment, rose,  and  came  to  Je-sus.

unto  him,  What  wilt  thou  that  I 
should  do  unto  theel  The  blind 
man  said  unto  him.  Lord,  that  i 
might  receive  my  sight.  .

received  his  sight,  and  followed

found  the  colt  tied  by  the  door 
without  in  a place  where  two  ways 
met ; and  they  loose  him. . , , , 

5 And  certain  of  them  that  stood 
there  said  unto  them.  What  do  ye, 
loosing  the  colt  ? 

6 And  they  said  unto  them  even 
as  Je-siis  had  commanded:  and 
they  let  them  go. 

7 And  they  brought  the  colt  to 
J e-sus,  and  cast  their  garments  on 
him ; and  he  sat  upon  him. 

8 ^And  many  spread  their  garrnents 
in  the  way : and  others  cut  down 
branches  off  the  trees,  and  strawed 
them  in  the  way. 

9 And  they  that  went  before,  and 
they  that  followed,  cried,  saying, 
•^Ho-san-na ; Blessed  is  he  that  com- 
eth  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  :

father  Da-vid,  that  cometh  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord  : s'Ho-san-na  in

11  '‘And  Je-sus  entered  into  Je- 
ru-sa-lem,  and  into  the  temple : and 
when  he  had  looked  round  about 
upon  all  things,  and  now  the  even- 
tide was  come,  he  went  out  unto 
Beth-a-ny  with  the  twelve. 

12  ^ ‘And  on  the  morrow,  when 

they  were  come  from  Beth-a-ny, 
he  was  hungry : ^ ^ c rs 

13  ^'And  seeing  a fig  tree  afar  off 

having  leaves,  he  came,  if  haply  he 
might  find  any  thing  thereon : and 
when  he  came  to  it,  he  found  ncffh- 
ing  but  leaves ; for  the  time  of  figs 
was  not  yet.  i i 

14  And  Je-siis  answered  and  said 

unto  it.  No  man  eat  fruit  of  thee 
hereafter  for  ever.  And  his  dis- 
ciples heard  it.  , 

15  ^ "‘And  they  come  to  Je-ru- 
sa-lem:  and  Je^tis  went  into  the 
temple,  and  began  to  cast  out  them 
that  sold  and  bought  in  the  temple, 
and  overthrew  the  tables  ot  the 
moneychangers,  and  the  seats  ot 
them  that  sold  doves ; 

16  And  would  not  suffer  that  any 
man  should  carry  aTiy  vessel  through 
the  temple. 

17  And  he  taught,  saying  unto 

them.  Is  it  not  written,  "My  house 
shall  be  called  ^of  all  nations  the 
house  of  prayer  1 but  ^ye  have  made 
it  a den  of  thieves.  , , . i? 

18  And  «the_  scribes  and  chiet 
priests  heard  it,  and  sought  how 
they  might  destroy  him : for  they 
feared  him,  because  "all  the  people 
was  astonished  at  his  doctrine. 

19  And  when  even  was  come,  he 
went  out  of  the  city.  , 

20  11  "And  in  the  morning,  as  they

passed  by,  they  saw  the  fig  tree 
dried  up  from  the  roots. 

21  And  Pe-ter  calling  to  remem- 
brance saith  unto  him,  Master, 
behold,  the  fig  tree  which  thou 
cursedst  is  withered  away. 

22  And  J e-sus  answering  saith  unto 
them,  ^ Have  faith  in  God. 

23  For  “verily  I say  unto  you, 
lhat  whosoever  shall  say  unto 
this  mountain.  Be  thou  removed, 
and  be  thou  cast  into  the  sea ; and 
shall  not  doubt  in  his  heart,  but 
shall  believe  that  those  things 
which  he  saith  shall  come  to  pass ; 
he  shall  have  whatsoever  he  saith. 

24  Therefore  I say  unto  you,  * What 
things  soever  ye  desire,  when  ye 
pray,  believe  that  ye  receive  them, 
and  ye  shall  have  them. 

25  And  when  ye  stand  praying, 
Horgive,  if  ye  have  ought  against 
any:  that  your  Father  also  which 
is  in  heaven  may  forgive  you  your 
trespasses. 

26  But  Hf  ye  do  not  forgive, 
neither  will  your  Father  which  is 
in  heaven  forgive  your  trespasses. 

27  ^ And  they  come  again  to 
Je-ru-sa-lem  : ‘'and  as  he  was  walk- 
ing in  the  temple,  there  come  to 
him  the  chief  priests,  and  the 
scribes,  and  the  elders, 

28  And  say  unto  him,  By  what 
authority  doest  thou  these  things  % 
and  who  gave  thee  this  authority 
to  do  these  things'? 

29  And  Je-sus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  I will  also  ask  of  you 
one  ^question,  and  answer  me,  and 
I will  tell  you  by  what  authority  I 
do  these  things. 

30  The  baptism  of  John,  was  it 
from  heaven,  or  of  men*?  answer 
me. 

31  And  they  reasoned  with  them- 
selves, saying.  If  we  shall  say, 

I rom  heaven  ; he  will  say.  Why 
then  did  ye  not  believe  him'? 

32  But  if  we  shall  say.  Of  men ; 
they  feared  the  people : for  *all 
rrien  counted  John,  that  he  was  a 
prophet  indeed. 

33  And  they  answered  and  said 
unto  Je-siis,  We  cannot  tell.  And 
Je-sus  answering  saith  unto  them, 
-N  either  do  I tell  you  by  what 
authority  I do  these  things.

place  for  the  winefat,  and  built  a 
tower,  and  let  it  out  to  husband- 
went  into  a far  country. 
1^1  season  he  sent  to 

the  husbandmen  a servant,  that  he 
might  receive  from  the  husband- 
j ^1^®  fruit  of  the  vineyard, 
o And  they  caught  him,  and  beat 
S'Hd  sent  him  away  empty. 

4 And  again  he  sent  unto  them 
another  servant ; and  at  him  they 
cast  stones,  and  wounded  him  in 
the  head,  and  sent  hwi  away 
shamefully  handled. 

5 And  again  he  sent  another ; and 
him  they  killed,  and  many  others ; 
beating  some,  and  killing  some. 

6 Having  yet  therefore  one  son, 
his  wellbeloved,  he  sent  him  also 
last  unto  them,  saying.  They  will 
reverence  my  son. 

7 But  those  husbandmen  said 
among  themselves,  This  is  the  heir ; 
come,  let  us  kill  him,  and  the  in- 
heritance shall  be  our’s. 

8 And  they  took  him,  and  killed 
him,  and  cast  him  out  of  the  vine- 
yard. 

9 What  shall  therefore  the  lord  of 
the  vineyard  do  ? he  will  come  and 
destroy  the  husbandmen,  and  will 
give  the  vineyard  unto  others. 

10  And  have  ye  not  read  this 
scripture;  -^The  stone  which  the 
builders  rejected  is  become  the 
head  of  the  corner: 

, 1 1 This  was  the  Lord’s  doing,  and 
it  IS  marvellous  in  our  eyes '? 

1 2 ^And  they  sought  to  lay  hold 
on  him,  but  feared  the  people : for 
they  knew  that  he  had  spoken  the 
parable  against  them : and  they  leH 
him,  and  went  their  way. 

13  H ^And  they  send  unto  him 
certain  of  the  Phar-i-sees  and  of 
the  He-ro-di-ans,  to  catch  him  in 
his  words. 

14  And  when  they  were  come,  they 
say  unto  him,  Master,  we  know  that 
thou  art  true,  and  carest  for  no  man : 
for  thou  regardest  not  the  person  of 
men,  but  teachest  the  way  of  God 
in  truth : Is  it  lawful  to  give  trib- 
ute to  Cie-sar,  or  not  ? 

15  Shall  we  give,  or  shall  we  not 
give'?  But  he,  knowing  their  hy- 
pocrisy, said  unto  them.  Why  tempt 
ye  me?  bring  me  a ^penny,  that  I 
may  see  it. 

16  And  they  brought  it.  And  he 
saith  unto  them.  Whose  is  this  im- 
age and  superscription  ? And  they 
said  unto  him,  Cse-sar’s. 

17  And  Je-siis  answering  said  unto 
them.  Render  to  Cse-sar  the  things 
that  are  (^se-sar’s,"  and  to  God  the

things  that  are  God’s.  And  they 
marvelled  at  him. 

18  U “Then  come  unto  him  the 
Sad-du-9ees,  * which  say  there  is  no 
resurrection ; and  they  asked  him, 
saying, 

19  Master,  ‘^Mo-ses  wrote  unto  us. 
If  a man’s  brother  die,  and  leave 
his  wife  behind  him,  and  leave  no 
children,  that  his  brother  should 
take  his  wife,  and  raise  up  seed 
unto  his  brother. 

20  Now  there  were  seven  breth- 
ren : and  the  first  took  a wife,  and 
dying  left  no  seed. 

21  And  the  second  took  her,  and 
died,  neither  left  he  any  seed:  and 
the  third  likewise. 

22  And  the  seven  had  her,  and 
left  no  seed : last  of  all  the  woman 
died  also. 

23  In  the  resurrection  therefore, 
when  they  shall  rise,  whose  wife 
shall  she  be  of  them  % for  the  seven 
had  her  to  wife. 

24  And  Je-sus  answering  said  unto 
them,  Do  ye  not  therefore  err,  be- 
cause ye  know  not  the  scriptures, 
neither  the  power  of  Godi 

25  For  when  they  shall  rise  from 
the  dead,  they  neither  marry,  nor 
are  given  in  marriage;  but  *are  as 
the  angels  which  are  in  heaven. 

26  And  as  touching  the  dead,  that 
they  rise : have  ye  not  read  in  the 
book  of  Mo-s6s,  how  in  the  bush 
God  spake  unto  him,  saying,  am 
the  God  of  A-bra-ham,  and  the  God 
of  I-saac,  and  the  God  of  Ja-eObl 

27  He  is  not  the  God  of  the  dead, 
but  the  God  of  the  living : ye  there- 
fore do  greatly  err. 

28  II 5 And  one  of  the  scribes  came, 
and  having  heard  them  reasoning 
together,  and  perceiving  that  he 
had  answered  them  well,  asked 
him.  Which  is  the  first  command- 
ment of  alii 

29  And  Je-stis  answered  him.  The 
first  of  all  the  commandments  is, 

* Hear,  O Is-ra-^1 ; The  Lord  our 
God  is  one  Lord : 

30  And  thou  shalt  love  the  Lord 
thy  God  with  all  thy  heart,  and 
with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy 
mindj  and  with  all  thy  strength: 
this  IS  the  first  commandment. 

31  And  the  second  is  like,  namely 
bhis,  “Thou  shalt  love  thy  neigh- 
bour as  thyself.  There  is  none 
other  commandment  greater  than 
these. 

32  And  the  scribe  said  unto  him. 
Well,  Master,  thou  hast  said  the 
truth : for  there  is  one  God ; ^and 
there  is  none  other  but  he : 

33  And  to  love  him  with  all  the^

neighbour  as  himself,  ‘’is  more  than 
all  whole  burnt  ofierings  and  sacri-

34  And  when  Je-siis  saw  that  he 
answered  discreetly,  he  said  unto 
him.  Thou  art  not  far  from  the  king- 
dom of  God.  ®And  no  man  after 
that  durst  ask  him  any  question. 

35  H -^And  Je^tis  answered  and 
said,  while  he  taught  in  the  temple. 
How  say  the_  scribes  that  -Ghrist  is 
the  son  of  Da-vid  1 

36  For  Da-vid  himself  said  s' by  the 
Holy  Ghost,  ’‘The  Lord  said  to  my 
Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 
till  I make  thine  enemies  thy  foot- 
stool. 

37  Da-vid  therefore  himself  calleth 
him  Lord ; and  whence  is  he  then 
his  sonl  And  the  common  people 
heard  him  gladly. 

38  U And  he  said  unto  them  in 
his  doctrine,  ‘Beware  of  the  scribes, 
which  love  to  in  long  clothing, 
and  ^love  salutations  in  the  market- 
places, 

39  And  the  chief  seats  in  the  syn- 
agogues, and  the  uppermost  rooms 
at  feasts : 

40 ’“Which  devour  widows’  houses, 
and  for  a pretence  make  long 

Srayers : these  shall  receive  greater 
amnation. 

41  H “And  Je-sus  sat  over  against 
the  treasury,  and  beheld  how  the 
people  cast  ^ money  ^ into  the  treas- 
ury : and  many  that  were  rich  cast 
in  much. 

42  And  there  came  a certain  poor 
widow,  and  she  threw  in  two  *^mites, 
which  make  a farthing. 

43  And  he  called  unto  him  his  dis- 
ciples, and  saith  unto  them.  Verily 
I say  unto  you.  That  ’‘this  poor 
widow  hath  cast  more  in,  than  all 
they  which  have  cast  into  the 
treasury : 

44  For  all  they  did  cast  in  of  their 
abundance;  but  she  of  her  want 
did  cast  in  all  that  she  had,  *even 
all  her  living.

1 Christ  foretelleth  the  destruction  of  the  temple:  9 the 
persecutions  for  the  gospel : 10  the  gospel  must  be  preached 
to  all  nations:  14  that  great  calamities  shall  happen  to

3 And  as  he  sat  upon  the  mount 
of  01-ives  over  against  the  temple, 
Pe-ter  and  James  and  Jchn  and 
An-drew  asked  him  privately,^ 

4 “Tell  us,  when  shall  these  things 
bel  and  what  shall  he  the  sign  when 
all  these  things  shall  be  fulfilled  1 

5 And  Je-siis  answering  them  be- 
gan to  say,  ‘^Take  heed  lest  any 
man  deceive  you: 

6 For  many  shall  come  in  my 
name,  saying,  I am  Christ;  and 
shall  deceive  many. 

7 And  when  ye  shall  hear  of  wars 
and  rumours  of  wars,  be  ye  not 
troubled : for  such  things  must 
needs  be;  but  the  end  shall  not

8 For  nation  shall  rise  against 

nation,  and  kingdom  against  king-

quakes in  divers  places,  and  there 
^all  be  famines  and  troubles : 
'‘these  are  the  beginnings  of  ^sor- 
rows. , ,

for  they  shall  deliver  you  up  to 
councils;  and  in  the  synagogues 
shall  be  beaten : and  ye  shall 
brought  before  rulers  and  kings  for 
my  sake,  for  a testimony  against 

them.  n 1 ^ 

10  And  'the  gospel  must  first  be 
published  among  all  nations. 

1 1 But  when  they  shall  lead  you, 

and  deliver  you  up,  take  no  thought 
beforehand  what  ye  shall  speak, 
neither  do  ye  premeditate:  but 
whatsoever  shall  be  given  you  in 
that  hour,  that  speak  ye : for  it  is 
not  ye  that  speak,  "but  the  Holy 
Ghost.  , , , 

12  Now  ^ the  brother  shall  betray 
the  brother  to  death,  and  the  father 
the  son ; and  children  shall  rise 
up  against  their  parents,  and  shall 
cause  them  to  be  put  to  death. 

13  «And  ye  shall  be  hated  of  all 
men  for  my  name’s  sake : but  he 
that  shall  endure  unto  the  end,  the 
same  shall  be  saved.

abomination  of  desolation,  ‘‘spoken 
of  by  Dan-iel  the  prophet,  stand- 
ing where  it  ought  not,  (let  him 
that  readeth  understand,)  then  *let 
them  that  be  in  Ju-dse-a  flee  to  the 
mountains : ^ 

15  And  let  him  that  is  on  the 
housetop  not  go  down  into  the 
house,  neither  enter  therein,  to 
take  any  thing  out  of  his  house :

CHAPTER  14. 

1 A conspiracy  against  Christ.  3 Precious  ointment  is 
poured  on  his  head.  10  Judas  selleth  his  Master.  12 
Christ  himself  foretelleth  how  he  shall  be  betrayed:  22 
instituteth  his  supper.  53  He  is  falsely  accused,  65  and 
shamefully  abused.  GG  He  is  thrice  denied  of  Peter. 

AFTER  “two  days  was  the  feast 
1\.  of  the  passover,  and  of  un- 
leavened bread : and  the  chief 
pHests  and  the  scribes  sought  how 
they  might  take  him  by  craft,  and 
put  him  to  death. 

2 But  they  said,  Not  on  the  feast 
day,  lest  there  be  an  uproar  of  the 
people. 

3 ^ ®And  being  in  Beth-a-ny  in 
the  house  of  Si-m5n  the  leper,  as 
he  sat  at  meat,  there  came  a woman 
having  an  alabaster  box  of  ointment 
of  ^spikenard  very  precious*  and 
she  brake  the  box,  and  poured  it  on 
his  head. 

4 And  there  were  some  that  had 
indignation  within  themselves,  and 
said,  Why  was  this  waste  of  the 
ointment  made? 

5 For  it  might  have  been  sold  for 
more  than  three  hundred  Spence, 
and  have  been  given  to  the  poor. 
And  they  murmured  against  Rer. 

6 And  Je-sus  said.  Let  her  alone; 
why  trouble  ye  her  ? she  hath 
wrought  a good  work  on  me. 

7 For-'' ye  have  the  poor  with  you 
always,  and  whensoever  ye  will  ye 
may  do  them  good  : but  me  ye  have 
not  always. 

8 She  hath  done  what  she  could : 
she  is  come  aforehand  to  anoint 
my  body  to  the  burying. 

9 Verily  I say  unto  you.  Where- 
soever this  gospel  shall  be  preached 
throughout  the  whole  world,  this 
also  that  she  hath  done  shall  be 
spoken  of  for  a memorial  of  her. 

10  U *And  Ju-dAs  Is-caru-6t,  one 
of  the  twelve,  went  unto  the  chief 
priests,  to  beti’ay  him  unto  them. 

1 1 And  when  they  heard  it,  they 
were  glad,  and  promised  to  give 
him  money.  And  he  sought  how 
he  might  conveniently  betray  him. 

12  U ”And  the  first  day  of  un- 
leavened bread,  when  they  '‘killed 
the  passover,  his  disciples  said  unto 
him.  Where  wilt  thou  that  we  go 
and  prepare  that  thou  mayest  eat

pared : there  make  ready  for  us. 

16  And  his  disciples  went  forth, 
and  came  into  the  city,  and  found 
as  he  had  said  unto  them  : and  they 
made  ready  the  passover. 

17  ''And  in  the  evening  he  cometh 
with  the  twelve. 

18  And  as  they  sat  and  did  eat, 
Je-sus  said.  Verily  I say  unto  you. 
One  of  you  which  eateth  with  me 
shall  betray  me. 

19  And  they  began  to  be  sorrow- 
ful, and  to  say  unto  him  one  by  one, 
/s  it  I ? and  another  said,  /s  it  I ? 

20  And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  It  is  one  of  the  twelve,  that 
dippeth  with  me  in  the  dish. 

21  ^ The  Son  of  man  indeed  goeth, 
as  it  is  written  of  him  : but  woe  to 
that  man  by  whom  the  Son  of  man 
is  betrayed ! good  were  it  for  that 
man  if  he  had  never  been  born. 

22  ^ ® And  as  they  did  eat,  Je-sils 
took  bread,  and  blessed,  and  brake 
it,  and  gave  to  them,  and  said,  Take, 
eat : this  is  my  body. 

23  And  he  took  the  cup,  and  when 
he  had  given  thanks,  ho  gave  it  to 
them  : and  they  all  drank  of  it. 

24  And  he  said  unto  them,  This 
is  my  blood  of  the  new  testament, 
which  is  shed  for  many. 

25  Verily  I say  unto  you,  I will 
drink  no  more  of  the  fruit  of  the 
vine,  until  that  day  that  I drink  it 
new  in  the  kingdom  of  God. 

26  ^ ^And  when  they  had  sung 
an  ^ hymn,  they  went  out  into  the 
mount  of  01-jves. 

27  '^And  Je-sus  saith  unto  them. 
All  ye  shall  be  offended  because  of 
me  this  night : for  it  is  written,  * I 
will  smite  the  shepherd,  and  the 
sheep  shall  be  scattered. 

28  But  * after  that  I am  risen,  I 
will  go  before  you  into  Gal-i-lee. 

29  ""But  Pe-ter  said  unto  him.  Al- 
though all  shall  be  offended,  yet 
will  not  I. 

30  And  J e-sus  saith  unto  him. 
Verily  I say  unto  thee.  That  this 
day,  even  in  this  night,  before  the 
cock  crow  twice,  thou  shalt  deny 
me  thrice. 

31  But  he  spake  the  more  vehe- 
mently, If  I snould  die  with  thee, 


61

St.  mark,  14. 


Christ  falsely  accused. 


I will  not  deny  thee  in  any  wise. 

Likewise  also  said  they  all. 

32  ^And  they  came  to  a place 
which  was  named  Geth-sem-a-ne  *. 
and  he  saith  to  his  disciples,  Sit 
ye  here,  while  I shall  pray. 

33  And  he  taketh  with  him  Pe-ter 

and  James  and  J6hn,  and  began 
to  be  sore  amazed,  and  to  be  very 
heavy;  , , . 

34  And  saith  unto  them,  ‘*My  soul 
is  exceeding  sorrowful  unto  death  : 
tarry  ye  here,  and  watch. 

35  And  he  went  forward  a little, 

and  fell  on  the  ground,  and  prayed 
that,  if  it  were  possible,  the  hour 
might  pass  from  him.  , . ^ , 

36  And  he  said,  -^Ab-ba,  Father, 
all  things  are  possible  unto  thee ; 

take  away  this  cup  from  me : ^never- 
theless not  what  I will,  but  what 
thou  wilt. 

37  And  he  cometh,  and  nndeth 
them  sleeping,  and  saith  unto  Pe- 
ter, Si-m5n,  sleepest  thou '?  couldest 
not  thou  watch  one  hour  1 

38  Watch  ye  and  pray,  lest  ye 
enW  into  temptation.  ^ The  spirit 
truly  is  ready,  but  the  flesh  is  weak. 

39  And  again  he  went  away,  and 
prayed,  and  spake  the  same  words. 

40  And  when  he  returned,  he 
found  them  asleep  again,  (for  their 
eyes  were  heavy,)  neither  wist  they 
what  to  answer  him. 

41  And  he  cometh  the  third  time, 
and  saith  unto  them,  Sleep  on  now, 
and  take  your  rest : it  is  enough, 

” the  hour  is  come ; behold,  the  Sqn 
of  man  is  betrayed  into  the  hands 
of  sinners. 

42  ^Rise  up,  let  us  go ; lo,  he  that 
betray  eth  me  is  at  hand. 

43  ^ ’'And  immediately,  while  he 
yet  spake,  cometh  Ju-das,  one  of 
the  twelve,  and  with  him  a great 
multitude  with  swords  and  staves, 
from  the  chief  priests  and  the 
scribes  and  the  elders. 

44  And  he  that  betrayed  him  had 
given  them  a token,  saying.  Whom- 
soever I shall  kiss,  that  same  is  he ; 
take  him,  and  lead  him  away  safely. 

45  And  as  soon  as  he  was  come,  he 
goeth  straightway  to  him,  and  saith. 
Master,  master ; and  kissed  him. 

46  U And  they  laid  their  hands  on 
him,  and  took  him. 

47  And  one  of  them  that  stood  by 
drew  a sword,  and  smote  a servant  of 
the  high  priest,  and  cut  off  his  ear. 

48  And  Je-sus  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  Are  ye  come  out,  as 
against  a thief,  with  swords  and 
with  staves  to  take  me"? 

49  I was  daily  with  you  in  the 
temple  teaching,  and  ye  took  me

50  ® And  they  all  forsook  him,  and 
fled. 

51  And  there  followed  him  a cer- 
tain young  man,  having  a linen  cloth 
cast  about  his  naked  body ; and  the 
young  men  laid  hold  on  him : 

52  And  he  left  the  linen  cloth,  and 
fled  from  them  naked. 

53  ^ ®And  they  led  Je-sfls  away  to 
the  high  priest : and  with  him  were 
assembled  all  the  chief  priests  and 
the  elders  and  the  scribes. 

54  And  Pe-ter  followed  him  afar 
off,  even  into  the  palace  of  the  high 
priest : and  he  sat  with  the  servants, 
and  warmed  himself  at  the  fire. 

55  ^And  the  chief  priests  and  all 
the  council  sought  for  witness  a- 
gainst  Je-siis  to  put  him  to  death ; 
and  found  none. 

56  For  many  bare  false  witness 
against  him,  but  their  witness 
agreed  not  together. 

57  And  there  arose  certain,  and 
bare  false  witness  against  him, 
saying, 

58  We  heard  him  say,  *1  will  de- 

stroy this  temple  that  is  made  with 
hands,  and  within  three  days  I 
will  build  another  made  without 
hands.  , n , . 

59  But  neither  so  did  their  witness 
agree  together. 

60  ’’"And  the  high  priest  stood  up 

in  the  midst,  and  asked  Je-sus,  say- 
ing, Answerest  thou  nothing '?  what 
is  it  which  these  witness  against 
thee  'i  - 

61  But  '’he  held  his  :peace,  and 
answered  nothing.  ^Again  the  high 
priest  asked  him,  and  said  unto 
him.  Art  thou  the  -Christ,  the  Son 
of  the  Blessed"? 

62  And  Je-siis  said,  I am : ®and  ye 
shall  see  the  Son  of  man  sitting  on 
the  right  hand  of  power,  and  com- 
ing in  the  clouds  of  heaven. 

63  Then  the  high  priest  rent  his 
clothes,  and  saith.  What  need  we 
any  further  witnesses'? 

64  Ye  have  heard  the  blasphemy : 
what  think  ye  ? And  they  all  con- 
demned him  to  be  guilty  of  de^h. 

65  And  some  began  to  spit  on  hm, 
and  to  cover  his  face,  and  to  bunet 
him,  and  to  say  unto  him.  Prophesy : 
and  the  servants  did  strike  him  with 
the  palms  of  their  hands. 

66  H ^And  as  Pe-ter  was  beneath 
in  the  palace,  there  cometh  one  of 
the  maids  of  the  high  priest : 

67  And  when  she  saw  Pe-ter  warm- 
ing himself,  she  looked  upon  him, 
and  said.  And  thou  also  wast  with 
i Je-§us  of  Naz-a-r6th. 


Peter  denieth  Christ, 


St.  make,  15.

68  But  he  denied,  saying,  I 

not,  neither  understand  I 


know 
what  thou 

sayest.  And  he  Avent  out  into  the 
porch  ; and  the  cock  crew. 

69  “And  a maid  saw  him  again,  and 
began  to  say  to  them  that  stood  by. 
This  is  oTie  of  them. 

7  0 And  he  denied  it  again.  *And  a 
little  after,  they  that  stood  by  said 
again  to  Pe-ter,  Surely  thou  art  one 

01  them  : ‘^for  thou  art  a Gal-i-lse-an, 
and  thy  speech  agreeth  thereto. 

71  But  he  began  to  curse  and  to 
swear,  saying,  1 know  not  this  man 
of  whom  ye  speak. 

72  -A-nd  the  second  time  the  cock 
crew.  And  Pe-ter  called  to  mind 
the  word  that  Je-sus  said  unto  him. 
Before  the  cock  crow  twice,  thou 
shalt  deny  me  thrice.  And  ^when 
he  thought  thereon,  he  wept. 

CHAPTER  15. 

1 Jernt  is  brought  bound,  and  accused  before  Pilate.  15 
Pilate  giveth  up  Jesus  to  be  crucified.  17  He  is  crowned 
with  thorns,  27  crucified  between  two  thieves,  43  a'nd  hon- 
ourably bu’i-ied  by  Joseph. 

AND  straightway  in  the  morning 
the  chief  priests  held  a consul- 
tation with  the  elders  and  scribes 
and  the  whole  council,  and  bound 
Je-sus,  and  carried  him  away,  and 
delivered  him  to  Pidate. 

2 And  Pidate  asked  him,  Art  thou 
the  King  of  the  Je'ws'?  And  he 
answering  said  unto  him.  Thou 
sayest  it. 

3 And  the  chief  priests  accused  him 
of  many  things : but  he  answered 
nothing. 

4 ’^And  Pidate  asked  him  again, 
saving,  Answerest  thou  nothing] 
behold  how  many  things  they  wit- 
ness against  thee. 

5 “But  Je-sus  yet  answered  noth- 
ing ; so  that  Pidate  marvelled. 

6 Now  ^at  that  feast  he  released 
unto  them  one  prisoner,  whomso- 
ever they  desired. 

7 And  there  was  one  named  Bar- 
S,b-bas,  ivhich  /ay  bound  with  them 
that  had  made  insurrection  with 
him,  who  had  committed  murder 
in  the  insurrection. 

8 And  the  multitude  crying  aloud 
began  to  desire  him  to  do  as  he  had 
ever  done  unto  them. 

9 But  Pidate  answered  them,  say- 
ing, Will  ye  that  I release  unto  you 
the  King  of  the  Jews'? 

10  For  he  knew  that  the  chief 
priests  had  delivered  him  for 
envy. 

11  But  ^'the  chief  priests  moved 
the  people,  that  he  should  rather 
release  Bar-ab-bas  unto  them. 

12  And  Pidate  answered  and  said 
again  unto  them,  What  will  ye  then

13  And  they  cried  out  again,  Cru- 
cify him. 

14  Then  Pidate  said  unto  them. 
Why,  what  evil  hath  he  done '?  And 
they  cried  out  the  more  exceed- 
ing!;^ Crucify  him. 

15  IT  “And  so  Pidate,  willing  to 
content  the  people,  released  Bar- 
ab-bas  unto  them,  and  delivered 
Je-sus,  when  he  had  scourged  him, 
to  be  crucified. 

1 6 “And  the  soldiers  led  him  away 
into  the  hall,  called  Prse-to-ri-um ; 
and  they  call  together  the  whole 
band. 

17  And  they  clothed  him  with 
purple,  and  platted  a crown  of 
thorns,  and  put  it  about  his  head, 

18  And  begai^to  salute  him,  Hail, 
King  of  the  J ews  ! 

19  And  they  smote  him  on  the 
head  with  a reed,  and  did  spit  upon 
him,  and  bowing  their  knees  wor- 
shipped him. 

20  And  when  they  had  mocked 
him,  they  took  off  the  purple  from 
him,  and  put  his  own  clothes  on  him, 
and  led  him  out  to  crucify  him. 

21  '‘And  they  compel  one  Si-m5n 
a Cy-reAi-an,  who  passed  by,  com- 
ing out  of  the  country,  the  father 
of  Al-6x-an-d6r  and  Rii-fus,  to  bear 
his  cross. 

22  *And  they  bring  him  unto  the 
place  G5l-g6-tha,  wliich  is,  being 
interpreted,  The  place  of  a skull. 

23  'And  they  gave  him  to  drink 
wine  mingled  with  myrrh : but  he 
received  it  not. 

24  And  when  they  had  crucified 
him,  ”they  parted  his  garments, 
casting  lots  upon  them,  \Giat  every 
man  should  take. 

25  And  ^it  was  the  third  hour,  and 
they  crucified  him.

accusation  was  written  over,  THE 
KING  OF  THE  JEWS. 

27  And  *with  him  they  crucify  two 
thieves  ; the  one  on  his  right  hand, 
and  the  other  on  his  left.

which  saith,  'And  he  was  numbered 
with  the  transgressors.

days,

from  the  cross.

himself  he  cannot  save.

descend  now  from  the  cross,  that 
we  may  see  and  believe.  And 
“they  that  were  crucified  with  him 
reviled  him.  . 

33  And  ^when  the  sixth  hour  was 
come,  there  was  darkness  over  the 
whole  land  until  the  ninth  hour. 

34  And  at  the  ninth  hour  Je-siis 

cried  with  a loud  voice,  saying, 
‘*E-lo-i,  E-lo-i,  la-ma  sa-baeh-tha-nu

by,  when  they  heard  it,  said.  Be- 
hold, he  calleth  E-li-as. 

36  And  ^one  ran  and  filled  a spunge 
full  of  vinegar,  and  put  it  on  a reed, 
and  '"gave  him  to  drink,  saying.  Let 
alone;  let  us  see  whether  E-li  "" 
will  come  to  take  him  down. 

37  ‘And  Je-siis  cried  with  a loud 
voice,  and  gave  up  the  ghost. 

38  And  ;the  veil  of  the  temple 
was  rent  in  twain  from  the  top  to 
the  bottom. 

39  H And  ”when  the  centurion, 
which  stood  over  against  him,  saw 
that  he  so  cried  out,  and  gave  up 
the  ghost,  he  said.  Truly  this 
was  the  Son  of  God. 

40  "There  were  also  women  look 
ing  on  ^afar  off : among  whom  was 
Ma-ry  Mag-da-le-nC,  and  Mah-y  the

were  already  dead : and  callin 
unto  him  the  centurion,  he  aske^ 
him  whether  he  had  been  any  while 
dead.

CHAPTER  16. 

1 An  angel  declareth  the  resurrection.  9 Christ  appeareth 
to  Mary  Magdalene:  12  to  two  disciples,  14  then  to  the 
apostles,  15  whcnn  he  sendeth  forth  to  preach  the  gospel: 

19  and  ascendeth  into  heaven. 

AND  "when  the  sabbath  was  past, 
jL1_  Ma-ry  Mag-da-le-ne,  and  Ma-ry 
the  mother  of  James,  and  Sa-lo-me, 
"had  bought  sweet  spices,  that  they 
might  come  and  anoint  him. 

2 -^And  very  early  in  the  morning 

the  first  day  of  the  week,  they  came 
unto  the  sepulchre  at  the  rising  of 
the  sun.  ^ . . 

3 And  they  said  among  themselves. 
Who  shall  roll  us  away  the  stone 
from  the  door  of  the  sepulchre  f 

4 And  when  they  looked,  they  saw 
that  the  stone  was  rolled  away : for 
it  was  very  great. 

5 *^And  entering  into  the  sepulchre, 
they  saw  a young  man  sitting  on  the 
right  side,  clothed  in  a long  white 
garment;  and  they  were  affrighted. 

6 ™And  he  saith  unto  them,  Be  not 

affrighted;  Ye  seek  Je-sus  of  Naz- 
a-reth,  which  was  crucified ; he  is 
risen ; he  is  not  here : behold  the 
place  where  they  laid  hjw*.  ,.  . 

7 But  go  your  way,  tell  his  disci- 
ples and  Pe-ter  that  he  goeth  before 

ou  into  Gal-i-lee ; there  shall  ye  see 
lim,  «as  he  said  unto  you. 

8 And  they  went  out  quickly,  and 
fled  from  the  sepulchre ; for  they 
trembled  and  were  amazed : ’'neither 
said  they  any  thing  to  any  rmn;  tor 
they  were  afraid. 

9 ^ Now  when  Je-sus  was  risen 

early  the  first  (kiy  of  the  week,  'he 
appeared  first  to  Ma-ry  Mag-da- 
le-n6,  *out  of  whom  he  had  cast 
seven  devils.  i 

10  ^And  she  went  and  told  them 
that  had  been  with  him,  as  they 
mourned  and  wept. 

11  “And  they,  when  they  had 
heard  that  he  was  alive,  and  had 
been  seen  of  her,  believed  not. 

12  H After  that  he  appeared  in  an- 
other form  '’unto  two  of  them,  as 
they  walked,  and  went  into  the 

^13  AiS  they  went  and  told  it  unto 
the  residue : neither  believed  they 

"Afterward  he  appeared  unto 
the  eleven  as  they  sat  ^at  meat,  and 
upbraided  them  with  their  unbeliet 
and  hardness  of  heart,  because  they 
believed  not  them,  which  had  seen 
him  after  he  was  risen. 

15  "And  he  said  unto  them.  Go  ye 
into  all  the  world,  -''and  preach  the 
gospel  to  every  creature.

THE  GOSPEL  ACCORDING  TO 


St.  LTJKE. 


CHAPTER  1. 

1 TAe  preface  of  Luke  to  his  whole  gospel.  5 The  conception 
of  John  the  Baptist,  26  and  of  Christ.  39  The  prophecy  of 
Mlisabeth,  and  of  Mary,  concerning  Christ.  57  The  na- 
tivity of  John.  67  The  prophecy  of  Zacharias. 

Forasmuch  as  many  have 
taken  in  hand  to  set  forth  in 
order  a declaration  of  those  things 
which  are  most  surely  believed 
among  us, 

2 ‘^Even  as  they  delivered  them 
unto  us,  which  ®from  the  beginning 
were  eyewitnesses,  and  ministers  of 
the  word ; 

_ 3 ^It  seemed  good  to  me  also,  hav- 
ing had  perfect  understanding  of  all 
things  from  the  very  first,  to  write 
unto  thee  in  order,  *most  excellent 
The-6ph4-lus, 

4 ^That  thou  mightest  know  the 
certainty  of  those  things,  wherein 
thou  hast  been  instructed. 

5 U rpHERE  was  ”in  the  days  of 
, X Her-dd,  the  king  of  Ju- 
dse^a,  a certain  priest  named  Zach- 
a-ri-as,  ^of  the  course  of  A-bi-a : and 
his  wife  was  of  the  daughters  of 
Aar-On,  and  her  name  was  E-lis-a- 
b6th. 

6 And  they  were  both  '^righteous 
before  God,  walking  in  all  the  com- 
mandments and  ordinances  of  the 
Lord  blameless. 

7 And  they  had  no  child,  because 
that  E-hs-a-beth  was  barren,  and 
they  both  were  now  well  stricken 
in  years. 

8 And  it  came  to  i)ass,  that  while 
he  executed  the  priest’s  office  be- 
fore God  “in  the  order  of  his  course, 
9 According  to  the  custom  of  the 
priest’s  office,  his  lot  was  *to  burn 
incense  when  he  went  into  the 
temple  of  the  Lord. 

10  ^And  the  whole  multitude  of 
the  people  were  praying  without  at 
the  time  of  incense. 

11  And  there  appeared  unto  him 
an  angel  of  the  Lord  standing  on

12  And  when  Zach-a-ri-as  saw  him, 
*he  was  troubled,  and  fear  fell  upon 
him. 

13  But  the  angel  said  unto  him. 
Fear  not,  Zach-a-ri-as  : for  thy 
prayer  is  heard ; and  thy  wife  E-lis- 
a-beth  shall  bear  thee  a son,  and 
®thou  shalt  call  his  name  John. 

14  And  thou  shalt  have  joy  and 
gladness  ; and  •''many  shall  rejoice 
at  his  birth. 

15  For  he  shall  be  great  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  and  ^ shall  drink 
neither  wine  nor  strong  drink  ; and 
he  shall  be  filled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost,  ^ even  from  his  mother’s 
womb. 

16  /“And  many  of  the  children  of 
Is-ra-el  shall  he  turn  to  the  Lord 
their  God. 

17  “And  he  shall  go  before  him  in 
the  spirit  and  power  of  E-lI-as,  to 
turn  the  hearts  of  the  fathers  to  the 
children,  and  the  disobedient  Ho  the 
wisdom  of  the  just ; to  make  ready 
a people  prepared  for  the  Lord. 

18  And  Zach-a-ri-as  said  unto  the 
angel,  '’Whereby  shall  I know  thisl 
for  I am  an  old  man,  and  my  wife 
well  stricken  in  years. 

19  And  the  angel  answering  said 
unto  him,  I am  *Ga-bn-6l,  that  stand 
in  the  presence  of  God ; and  am  sent 
to  speak  unto  thee,  and  to  shew 
thee  these  glad  tidings. 

20  And,  behold,  Hhou  shalt  be 
dumb,  and  not  able  to  speak,  until 
the  day  that  these  things  shall  be 
performed,  because  thou  believest 
not  my  words,  which  shall  be  ful- 
filled in  their  season. 

^21  And  the  people  waited  for 
Zach-a-ri-as,  and  marvelled  that  he 
tarried  so  long  in  the  temple. 

22  And  when  he  came  out,  he 
could  not  speak  unto  them  : and 
they  perceived  that  he  had  seen  a

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as 
soon  as  Hhe  days  of  his  ministra- 
tion were  accomplished,  he  departed 
to  his  own  house. 

24  And  after  those  days  his  wiie 
E-lis-a-beth  conceived,  and  hid  her- 
self‘five  months,  saying, 

25  Thus  hath  the  Lord  dealt  with 
me  in  the  days  wherein  he  looked 
on  me,  to  ‘^take  away  my  reproach 
among  men. 

26  And  in  the  sixth  month  the 

angel  Ga-bri-el  was  sent  from  God 
unto  a city  of  Gal-i-lee,  named  Naz 
a-r6th,  . ^ 

27  To  a virgin  * espoused  to  a man 
whose  name  was  Jo-seph,  of  the 
house  of  Da-vid. ; and  the  virgin 
name  was  Ma-ry. 

28  And  the  angel  came  in  unto 

her,  and  said,  •''Hail,  thou  that  art 
^highly  favoured,  ^'the  Lord  is  with 
thee:  blessed  art  thou  among  wo- 
men. , 7 . • 1 

29  And  when  she  saw  Mm,  ’she 
v/as  troubled  at  his  saying,  and  cast 
in  her  mind  what  manner  of  saluta- 
tion this  should  be. 

30  And  the  angel  said  unto  her. 

Fear  not,  Ma-ry : for  thou  hast 
found  favour  with  God. 

31  ”And,  behold,  thou  shalt  con- 
ceive in  thy  womb,  and  bring  forth 
a son,  and  shalt  call  his  name 

JE^^US.  I , nv 

32  He  shall  be  great,  ’'and  shall  be 
called  the  Son  of  the  Highest : and 
Hhe  Lord  God  shall  give  unto  him 
the  throne  of  his  father  Da-vid : 

33  ^And  he  shall  reign  over  ^e 
house  of  Ja-c5b  for  ever;  and  of  his 
kingdom  there  shall  be  no  end. 

34  Then  said  MaHy  unto  the  angel. 

How  shall  this  be,  seeing  I know 
not  a manl 

35  And  the  angel  answered  and 

said  unto  her,  “The  Holy  Ghost  shall 
come  upon  thee,  and  the  power  01 
the  Highest  shall  overshadow  thee : 
therefore  also  that  holy  thing  which 
shall  be  born  of  thee  shall  be  called 
‘*the  Son  of  God.  . 7-77 

36  And,  behold,  thy  cousin  E-li§- 
a-beth,  she  hath  also  conceived  a 
son  in  her  old  age : and  this  is  the 
sixth  month  with  her,  who  was 
called  barren.

impossible.  , ^ _ .

handmaid  of  the  Lord ; be  it  unto 
me  according  to  thy  word.  And

haste,  “into  a city  of  Ju-da ; 

40  And  entered  into  the  house 
of  Zach-a-ri-as,  and  saluted  E-lis- 
a-b6th. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
E-lis-a-beth  heard  the  salutation  of 
Ma-ry,  the  babe  leaped  in  her 
womb : and  E-lis-a-betn  was  filled 
with  the  Holy  Ghost: 

42  And  she  spake  out  with  a loud 
voice,  and  said,  ® Blessed  art  thou

fruit  of  thy  womb. 

43  And  whence  is  this  to  me,  that 

the  mother  of  my  Lord  should  come

44  For,  lo,  as  soon  as  the  voice  ot 
thy  salutation  sounded  in  mine  ears, 
the  babe  leaped  in  my  womb  for 
joy. 

45  And  blessed  is  she  ^that  be- 
lieved : for  there  shall  be  a pe^ 
formance  of  those  things  which 
were  told  her  from  the  Lord.

66  And  all  they  that  heard  them 
^ laid  them  up  in  their  hearts,  say- 
ing, What  manner  of  child  shall 
this  be!  And  -^the  hand  of  the 
Lord  was  with  him. 

67  And  his  father  Zaeh-a-rl-as  ^ was 
filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  pro- 
phesied, saying, 

68  * Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of 
Is-ra-el;  for  *he  hath  visited  and 
redeemed  his  people, 

69  ""And  hath  raised  up  an  horn 
of  salvation  for  us  in  the  house  of 
his  servant  Da-vid ;

his  holy  propnets,  which  have  been 
since  the  world  began : 

71  That  we  should  be  saved  from 
our  enemies,  and  from  the  hand  of 
all  that  hate  us  ; 

72  "To  perform  the  mercy  prom 
ised  to  our  fathers,  and  to  re- 
member his  holy  covenant; 

73  ^The  oath  which  he  sware  to 
our  father  A-bra-ham, 

74  That  he  would  grant  unto  us,

him  without  fear, 

7 5 ^ In  holiness  and  righteousness

7 6 And  thou,  child,  shalt  be  called 
the  prophet  of  the  Highest:  for 
*thou  shalt  go  before  the  face  of

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Augustus  taoKth  all  the  Romam.  empire.  6 The  nativity 
of  Christ.  8 One  angel  relateth  it  to  the  shepherds:  13 
many  sing  praises  to  God  for  it.  21  Christ  is  circwm- 
cised.  28  Simeon  and  Anna  prophesy  of  Christ ; 40  wha 
increaseth  in  wisdom,  46  guestioneth  with  the  doctors,  51 
and  is  obedient  to  his  parents. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days, 
that  there  went  out  a decree 
from  Cse-sar  Au-gus-ttis,  that  all 
the  world  should  be  ^ taxed. 

‘I  ^ And  this  taxing  was  first  made 
when  Cy-re-ni-us  was  governor  of 
Syr4-a.b 

3 And  all  went  t9  be  taxed,  every 
one  into  his  own  city. 

4 And  Jo-seph  also  went  up  from 
Gal-i-lee,  out  of  the  city  of  Naz-a' 
reth,_into  Ju-dse-a,  unto  "the  city 
of  Da-vid,  which  is  called  Bethde- 
hem  ; ("because  he  was  of  the  house 
and  lineage  of  Da-vid  :) 

5 To  be  taxed  with  M.a-rf  ^ his  es- 
poused wife,  being  great  with  child. 

6 And  so  it  was,  that,  while  they 
were  there,  the  days  were  accom- 
plished that  she  should  be  delivered. 

7 And  * she  brought  forth  her 
firstborn  son,  and  wrapped  him 
in  swaddling  clothes,  and  laid  him 
in  a manger ; because  there  was 
no  room  for  them  in  the  inn. 

8 And  there  were  in  the  same 
country  shepherds  abiding  in  the 
field,  keeping  ^ watch  over  their 
flock  by  night. 

9 And,  lo,  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  them,  and  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  shone  round  about  them : 
^ and  they  were  sore  afraid. 

10  And  the  angel  said  unto  them. 
Fear  not : for,  behold,  I bring  you 
good  tidings  of  great  joy,  "’which 
shall  be  to  all  people. 

1 1 * For  unto  you  is  born  this  day 
in  the  city  of  Da-vid  *a  Saviour, 
* which  is  -Christ  the  Lord.^ 

12  And  this  shall  he  a sign  un- 
to you ; Ye  , shall  find  the  babe 
wrapped  in  swaddling  clothes,  ly- 
ing in  a manger. 

13  *And  suddenly  there  was  with 
the  angel  a multitude  of  the  heav- 
enly host  praising  God,  and  saying, 

14  * Glory  to  God  in  the  highest. 


and  on  earth  peace,  "good  will 
toward  men. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the 
angels  were  gone  away  from  them 
into  heaven,  ’the  shepherds  said 
one  to  another.  Let  us  now  go  even 
unto  B6thd6-h6m,  and  see  this  thing 
which  is  come  to  pass,  which  the 
Lord  hath  made  known  unto  us. 

16  And  they  came  with  haste,  and

found  Ma-ry,  and  Jo-seph,  and  the 
babe  lying  in  a manger. 

17  And  when  they  had  seen  it, 
they  made  known  abroad  the  say- 
ing which  was  told  them  concern- 
ing this  child. 

18  And  all  they  that  heard  it  won- 
dered at  those  things  which  were 
told  them  by  the  shepherds. 

19  But  Ma-ry  kept  all  these 
things,  and  pondered  them  in  her 
heart. 

20  And  the  shepherds  returned, 
glorifying  and  praising  God  for  all 
the  things  that  they  had  heard  and 
seen,  as  it  was  told  unto  them. 

21  ‘^And  when  eight  days  were 
accomplished  for  the  circumcising 
of  the  child,  his  name  was  called 
•^JE-SUS,  which  was  so  named  of 
the  angel  before  he  was  conceived 
in  the  womb. 

22  And  when  '"the  days  of  her 
purification  according  to  the  law 
of  Mo-ses  were  accomplished,  they 
brought  him  to  Je-ru-sa-lem,  to  pre- 
sent him  to  the  Lord ; 

23  (As  it  is  written  in  the  law  of 
the  Lord,  * Every  male  that  openeth 
the  womb  shall  be  called  holy  to 
the  Lord;) 

24  And  to  offer  a sacrifice  accord- 
ing to  'that  which  is  said  in  the 
law  of  the  Lord,  A pair  of  turtle- 
doves, or  two  young  pigeons. 

25  And,  behold,  there  was  a man 
in  Je-ru-sa-lem,  whose  name  was 
Sim-e-6n;  and  the  same  man  was 
just  and  devout,  "^waiting  for  the 
consolation  of  Is-ra-el : and  the 
Holy  (dhost  was  upon  him. 

26  And  it  was  revealed  unto  him 
by  the  Holy  Ghost,  that  he  should 
not  "see  death,  before  he  had  seen 
the  Lord’s  -Christ. 

27  And  he  came  ^by  the  Spirit  into 
the  temple  : and  when  the  parents 
brought  in  the  child  Je-sus,  to  do 
for  him  after  the  custom  of  the 
law, 

28  Then  took  he  him  up  in  his 
arms,  and  blessed  God,  and  said, 

29  Lord,  «now  lettest  thou  thy 
servant  depart  in  peace,  according 
to  thy  word : 

30  For  mine  eyes  *have  seen  thy 
salvation, 

31  Which  thou  hast  prepared  be- 
fore the  face  of  all  people ; 

32  *A  light  to  lighten  the  Gen-tiles, 
and  the  glory  of  thy  people  Is-ra-el. 

33  And  Jo-seph  and  his  mother 
marvelled  at  those  things  which 
were  spoken  of  him. 

34  And  Siin-6-(3n  blessed  them,  and 
said  unto  Ma-ry  his  mother.  Behold,

and  for  “a  sign  which  shall  be 
spoken  against; 

35  (Yea,  *a  sword  shall  pierce 
through  thy  own  soul  also,)  that 
the  thoughts  of  many  hearts  may 
be  revealed. 

36  And  there  was  one  An-na,  a 
prophetess,  the  daughter  of  Phan- 
u-el,  of  the  tribe  of  A-ser : she  was 
of  a great  age,  and  had  lived  with 
an  husband  seven  years  from  her 
virginity ; 

37  And  she  was  a widow  of  about 
fourscore  and  four  years,  which 
departed  not  from  the  temple,  but 
served  God  with  fastings  and  pray- 
ers "night  and  day. 

38  And  she  coming  in  that  in- 
stant gave  thanks  likewise  unto 
the  Lord,  and  spake  of  him  to  all 
them  that /looked  for  redemption 
in  ^JAru-sa-l6m. 

39  And  when  they  had  performed 
all  things  according  to  the  law  of 
the  Lord,  they  returned  into  Gal-i- 
lee,  to  their  own  city  Naz-a-r6th. 

4()  *And  the  child  grew,  and  waxed 
strong  in  spirit,  filled  with  wis- 
dom : and  the  grace  of  God  was 
upon  him. 

41  Nov/  his  parents  went  to  Je-ru- 
sa-lem  ""every  year  at  the  feast  of 
the  passover. 

42  And  when  he  was  twelve  years 
old,  they  went  up  to  J6-ru-sa-l6m 
after  the  custom  of  the  feast. 

43  And  when  they  had  fulfilled  the 
days,  as  they  returned,  the  child 
Je-sus  tarried  behind  in  JAru-sa- 
leni;  and  Jo-s6ph  and  his  mother 
knew  not  of  it. 

44  But  they,  supposing  him  to  have 
been  in  the  company,  went  a day’s 
journey;  and  they  sought  him  among 
their  kinsfolk  and  acquaintance. 

45  And  when  they  found  him  not, 
they  turned  back  again  to  Je-ru-sa- 
lem,  seeking  him. 

46  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after 
three  days  they  found  him  in  the 
temple,  sitting  in  the  midst  of  the 
doctors,  both  hearing  them,  and 
asking  them  questions. 

47  And  "all  that  heard  him  were 
astonished  athis  understanding  and 
answers. 

48  And  when  they  saw  him,  they 
were  amazed  : and  his  mother  said 
unto  him.  Son,  why  hast  thou  thus 
dealt  with  usi  behold,  thy  father 
and  I have  sought  thee  sorrowing. 

49  And  he  said  unto  them.  How  is

2 ^An-nas  and  -Gada-phas  being 
the  high  priests,  the  word  of  God 
came  unto  J5hn  the  son  of  Zach-a- 
ri-as  in  the  wilderness. 

3 ‘ And  he  came  into  all  the 
country  about  Jor-dan,  preaching 
the  baptism  of  repentance  * for  the 
remission  of  sins ; 

4 As  it  is  written  in  the  book  of 
the  words  of  E-sadas  the  prophet, 
^ying,  ”"The  voice  of  one  crying 
in  the  wilderness,  Prepare  ye  the 
way  of  the  Lord,  make  his  paths 
straight. 

5 Every  valley  shall  be  filled,  and 
every  mountain  and  hill  shall  be 
brought  low ; and  the  crooked  shall 
be  made  straight,  and  the  rough 
ways  shall  he  made  smooth ; 

6 And  "all  flesh  shall  see  the  sal- 
vation of  God. 

7 Then  said  he  to  the  multitude 
that  came  forth  to  be  baptized  of 
him,  ^ O generation  of  vipers,  who 
hath  warned  you  to  flee  from  the 
wrath  to  come  % 

8 Bring  forth  therefore  fruits  Wor- 
thy of  repentance,  and  begin  not 
to  say  within  yourselves.  We  have 
A-bra-ham  to  our  father  : for  I say 
unto  you,  That  God  is  able  of  these 
stones  to  raise  up  children  unto  A- 
bra-ham. 

9 And  now  also  the  axe  is  laid 
unto  the  root  of  the  trees : *every 
tree  therefore  which  bringeth  not 
forth  good  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and 
cast  into  the  fire. 

10  And  the  people  asked  him,  say- 
ing, ^ What  shall  we  do  then  % 

11  He  answereth  and  saith  unto 
them,  “He  that  hath  two  coats,  let

17  Whose  fan  is  in  his  hand,  and 
he  will  throughly  purge  his  floor, 
and  '‘will  gather  the  wheat  into  his 
garner ; but  the  chaff  he  will  burn 
with  fire  unquenchable. 

18  And  many  other  things  in  his 
exhortation  preached  he  unto  the 
people. 

19  'But  Her-Od  the  tetrarch,  being 
reproved  by  him  for  He-ro-di-as 
his  brother  Phil-ip’s  wife,  and  for 
all  the  evils  which  Her-5d  had  done, 

20  Added  yet  this  above  all,  that 
he  shut  up  John  in  prison. 

21  Now  when  all  the  people  were 
baptized,  “it  came  to  pass,  that  Je- 
sus also  being  baptized,  and  pray- 
ing, the  heaven  was  opened, 

_ 22  And  the  Holy  Ghost  descended 
in  a bodily  shape  like  a dove  upon 
him,  and  a voice  came  from  heaven, 
which  said.  Thou  art  my  beloved 
Son ; in  thee  I am  well  pleased. 

23  And  Je-sus  himself  began  to  be 
^about  thirty  years  of  age,  Being  (as 
was  supposed)  “the  son  of  Jo-seph, 
which  was  the  son  of  Hedi,

Temptation  of  Christ. 

2 Being  forty  days  tempted  of  the 
devil.  And  “in  those  days  he  did 
eat  nothing ; and  when  they  were 
ended,  he  afterward  hungered. 

3 And  the  devil  said  unto  him,  If 
thou  be  the  Son  of  God,  command 
this  stone  that  it  be  made  bread. 

4 And  Jedtis  answered  him,  say- 
ing, **14  is  written.  That  man  shall 
not  live  by  bread  alone,  but  by 
every  word  of  God. 

5 And  the  devil,  taking  him  up 
into  an  high  mountain,  shewed 
unto  him  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
world  in  a moment  of  time. 

6 And  the  devil  said  unto  him. 
All  this  power  will  I give  thee, 
and  the  glory  of  them:  for  ‘'that  is 
delivered  unto  me ; and  to  whom- 
soever I will  I give  it. 

7 If  thou  therefore  wilt  ^worship 
me,  all  shall  be  thine. 

8 And  Jedus  answered  and  said 
unto  him.  Get  thee  behind  me, 
Sadan:  for  ^it  is  written,  Thou 
shalt  worship  the  Lord  thy  God. 
and  him  only  shalt  thou  serve. 

9 '‘And  he  brought  him  to  Je-ru- 
sa-lem,  and  set  him  on  a pinnacle 
of  the  temple,  and  said  unto  him. 
If  thou  be  the  Son  of  God,  cast  thy- 
self down  from  hence : 

10  For  *it  is  written.  He  shall  give 
his  angels  charge  over  thee,  to  keep 
thee : 

11  And  in  their  hands  they  shall 
bear  thee  up,  lest  at  any  time  thou 
dash  thy  foot  against  a stone. 

12  And  Jedus  answering  said  un- 
to him,  Ht  is  said.  Thou  shalt  not 
tempt  the  Lord  thy  God. 

1 3 And  when  the  devil  had  ended 
all  the  temptation,  he  departed  from 
him  “for  a season. 

14  ^ "And  Jedus  returned  ^in  the 
power  of  the  Spirit  into  ’’Gal-i- 
lee : and  there  went  out  a fame  of 
him  through  all  the  region  round 
about. 

15  And  he  taught  in  their  syna- 
gogues. being  glorified  of  all. 

16  H And  he  came  to  *Nazd-reth, 
where  he  had  been  brought  up: 
and,  as  his  custom  was,  ‘he  went 
into  the  synagogue  on  the  sabbath 
day,  and  stood  up  for  to  read. 

17  And  there  was  delivered  unto 
him  the  book  of  the  prophet  E-sa' 
ias.  And  when  he  had  opened  the 
book,  he  found  the  place  where  it 
was  written, 

18  *The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is  upon 
me,  because  he  hath  anointed  me 
to  preach  the  gospel  to  the  poor ; 
he  hath  sent  me  to  heal  the  broken- 
hearted, to  preach  deliverance  to 
the  captives,  and  recovei  ing  of  sight

19  To  preach  the  acceptable  year 

of  the  Lord.  i i 

20  And  he  closed  the  booK,  and 
he  gave  it  again  to  the  minister, 
and  sat  down.  And  the  eyes  of  all 
them  that  were  in  the  synagogue 
were  fastened  on  him. 

21  And  he  began  to  say  unto  them. 

This  day  is  this  scripture  f ulnlled  in 
your  ears.  . 

22  And  all  bare  him  witness,  and 

“wondered  at  the  gracious  words 
which  proceeded  out  of  his  mouth. 
And  they  said,  ‘'Is  not  this  J o-seph’s 
son  1 , _ ... 

23  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  will 
surely  say  unto  me  this  proverb. 
Physician,  heal  thyself:  whateo- 
ever  we  have  heard  done  in  ‘^■ba- 
per-na-um,  do  also  here  in  ®thy 
country. 

24  And  he  said.  Verily  I say  unto 
you.  No  prophet  is  accepted  in  his 
own  country. 

25  But  I tell  you  of  a truth,  ^many 
widows  w’ere  in  Is-ra-el  in  the  days 
of  E-li-as,  when  the  heaven  was 
shut  up  three  years  and  six  months, 
when  great  famine  was  throughout 
all  the  land ; 

26  But  unto  none  of  thern^  was 
E-li-as  sent,  save  unto  Sa-rep-ta,  a 
city  of  Si-d5n,  unto  a woman  that 
was  a widow. 

27  ’"And  many  lepers  were  in  Is- 
ra-6l  in  the  time  of  El-i-se-iis  the 
prophet;  and  none  of  them  was 
cleansed,  saving  Na-a-man  the  Syr- 
I-an. 

28  And  all  they  in  the  synagogue, 
when  they  heard  these  things,  were 
filled  with  wrath, 

29  And  rose  up,  and  thrust  him 
out  of  the  city,  and  led  him  unto 
the  ^brow  of  the  hill  whereon  their 
city  was  built,  that  they  might  cast 
him  down  headlong. 

30  But  he  ‘’passing  through  the 
midst  of  them  went  his  way, 

31  And  ^came  down  to  Ua-per-na- 
um,  a city  of  Gal-i-lee,  and  taught 
tiiem  on  the  sabbath  days. 

32  And  they  were  astonished  at 
his  doctrine:  ’’for  his  word  was 
with  power. 

33  H *And  in  the  synagogue  there 
was  a man,  which  had  a spirit  of  an 
unclean  devil,  and  cried  out  with  a 
loud  voice, 

34  Saying,  ^Let  us  alone*  what 
have  we  to  do  with  thee,  thou  Je- 
sus of  Naz-a-reth'?  art  thou  come  to 
destroy  usi  U know  thee  who  thou 
art ; “the  Holy  One  of  God.

ing,  Hold  thy  peace,  and  come  out 

of  him.  And  when  the  devil  had 
thrown  him  in  the  midst,  he  came 
out  of  him,  and  hurt  him  not. 

36  And  tney  were  all  amazed,  and 
spake  among  themselves,  saying. 
What  a word  is  this ! for  with  au- 
thority and  power  he  commandeth 
the  unclean  spirits,  and  they  come 
out. 

37  And  the  fame  of  him  went  out 
into  every  place  of  the  country 
round  about. 

38  H ‘And  he  arose  out  of  the 
synagogue,  and  entered  into  Si- 
m5n’s  house.  And  Si-m5n’s  wife’s 
mother  was  taken  with  a great 
fever;  and  they  besought  him  for 
her. 

39  And  he  stood  over  her,  and  re- 
buked the  fever ; and  it  left  her : 
and  immediately  she  arose  and 
ministered  unto  them. 

40  H -^Now  when  the  sun  was 
setting,  all  they  that  had  any  sick 
with  divers  diseases  brought  them 
unto  him ; and  he  laid  his  hands 
on  every  one  of  them,  and  healed 
them. 

41  ’And  devils  also  came  out  of 
many,  crying  ouL  and  saying.  Thou 
art  -Ghrist  the  Son  of  God.  And 
*he  rebuking  them  suffered  them 
not  ^ to  speak : for  they  knew  that 
he  was  -Onrist. 

42  ^And  when  it  was  day,  he  de- 
parted and  went  into  a desert  place : 
and  the  people  sought  him,  and  came 
unto  him,  and  stayed  him,  that  he 
should  not  depart  from  them. 

43  And  he  said  unto  them,  I must 
preach  the  kingdom  of  God  to  other 
cities  also : for  therefore  am  I sent. 

44  "And  he  preached  in  the  syna- 
gogues of  Gal-i-lee. 

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Christ  teacheth  the  people.  4 The  miraculous  draught 
of  fishes.  12  Christ  cleameth  the  leper:  16  prayeth  in 
the  wilderness : 18  healeth  one  sick  of  the  palsy : 27 
calleth  Matthew:  29  eateth  with  sinners:  34  foretelleth 
the  afflictions  of  the  apostles. 

AND  ^it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  the 
people  pressed  upon  him  to 
hear  the  word  of  God,  he  stood  by 
the  lake  of  G6n-n6s-a-r6t, 

2 And  saw  two  ships  standing  by 
the  lake:  but  the  fishermen  were 
gone  out  of  them,  and  were  wash- 
ing their  nets. 

3 And  he  entered  into  one  of 
the  ships,  which  was  Si-m5n’s,  and 
prayed  him  that  he  would  thrust 
out  a little  from  the  land.  And  he 
sat  down,  and  taught  the  people  out 
of  the  ship. 

4 Now  when  he  had  left  speaking, 
he  said  unto  Si-mOn,  * Launch  out 


Miraculous  draught  of  fishes. 


St.  LUKE,  5. 


Christ  calleth  Matthew. 


into  the  deep,  and  let  down  your 
nets  for  a draught. 

5 And  Si-mOn  answering  said  un- 
to him,  Master,  we  have  toiled  all 
the  night,  and  have  taken  nothing : 
nevertheless  at  thy  word  I will  let 
down  the  net. 

6 And  when  they  had  this  done, 
they  inclosed  a great  multitude  of 
fishes  : and  their  net  brake. 

7 And  they  beckoned  unto  their 
partners,  which  were  in  the  other 
ship,  that  they  should  come  and 
help  them.  And  they  came,  and 
filled  both  the  ships,  so  that  they 
began  to  sink. 

8 When  Si-m5n  Pe-ter  saw  it,  he 
fell  down  at  Je-stis’  knees,  saying, 
‘’Depart  from  me ; for  I am  a sinful 
man,  O Lord. 

9 For  he  was  astonished,  and  all 
that  were  with  him,  at  the  draught 
of  the  fishes  which  they  had  taken  : 

10  And  so  was  also  James,  and 
John,  the  sons  of  Zeb-e-dee,  which 
were  partners  with  Si-m6n.  And 
Je-stis  said  unto  Si-mOn,  Fear  not; 
‘*from  henceforth  thou  shalt  catch 
men. 

11  And  when  they  had  brought 
their  ships  to  land,  ®they  forsook 
all,  and  followed  him. 

12  IT  -^And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  was  in  a certain  city,  behold  a 
man  full  of  leprosy:  who  seeing 
Je-stis  fell  on  his  face,  and  besought 
him,  saying.  Lord,  if  thou  wilt, 
thou  canst  make  me  clean. 

13  And  he  put;  forth  his  hand, 
and  touched  him,  saying,  I will : 
be  thou  clean.  And  immediately 
the  leprosy  departed  from  him. 

14  '‘And  he  charged  him  to  tell 
no  man ; but  go,  and  shew  thyself 
to  the  priest,  and  offer  for  thy 
cleansing,  'according  as  Mo-ses  com- 
manded, for  a testimony  unto  them. 

15  But  so  much  the  more  went 
there  a faine  abroad  of  him : "‘and 

reat  multitudes  came  together  to 
ear,  and  to  be  healed  by  him  of 
their  infirmities. 

16  IT  “And  he  withdrew  himself 
into  the  wilderness,  and  prayed. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass  on  a cer- 
tain day,  as  he  was  teaching,  that 
there  were  Phar4-sees  and.  doctors 
of  the  law  sitting  by,  which  were 
come  out  of  every  town  of  Gal-i- 
lee,  and  Ju-dse-a,  and  JAru-sa-lem  : 
and  the  power  of  the  Lord  was 
'present  to  heal  them. 

18  IT  ®And,  behold,^  men  brought 
in  a bed  a man  which  was  taken 
with  a palsy : and  they  sought 
means  to  bring  him  in,  and  to  lay 
him  before  him. 


1 9 And  when  they  could  not  find 
by  what  way  they  might  bring  him 
in  because  of  the  multitude,  they 
went  upon  the  housetop,  and  let  him 
down  through  the  tiling  with  his 
couch  into  the  midst  before  Je-sus. 

20  And  when  he  saw  their  faith, 
he  said  unto  him,  Man,  thy  sins  are 
forgiven  thee. 

21  “And  the  scribes  and  the  Phar' 
i-sees  began  to  reason,  saying,  Wlio 
is  this  which  speaketh  blasphemies^ 
'’Who  can  forgive  sins,  but  God 
alone  1 

22  But  when  Je-sus  perceived 
their  thoughts,  he  answering  said 
unto  them.  What  reason  ye  in  your 
hearts  % 

23  Whether  is  easier,  to  say.  Thy 
sins  be  forgiven  thee;  or  to  say. 
Rise  up  and  walkl 

24  But  that  ye  may  know  that  the 
Son  of  man  hath  power  upon  earth 
to  forgive  sins,  (he  said  unto  the 
sick  of  the  palsy,)  I say  unto  thee. 
Arise,  and  take  up  thy  couch,  and 
go  into  thine  house. 

25  And  immediately  he  rose  up 
before  them,  and  took  up  that 
whereon  he  lay,  and  departed  to 
his  own  house,  glorifying  God. 

26  And  they  were  all  amazed,  and 
they  glorified  God,  and  were  filled 
with  fear,  saying.  We  have  seen 
strange  things  to  day. 

27  IT  ^And  after  these  things  he 
went  forth,  and  saw  a publican, 
named  Le-vi,  sitting  at  the  receipt 
of  custom : and  he  said  unto  him. 
Follow  me. 

28  And  he  left  all,  rose  up,  and 
followed  him. 

29  ‘And  Le-vi  made  him  a great 
feast  in  his  own  house : and  '’there 
was  a great  company  of  publicans 
and  of  others  that  sat  down  with 
them. 

30  But  their  scribes  and  Phari- 
sees murmured  against  his  disciples, 
saying.  Why  do  ye  eat  and  drink 
with  publicans  and  sinners? 

31  And  Je-§us  answering  said  unto 
them.  They  that  are  whole  need  not 
a physician  ; but  they  that  are  sick. 

32  “I  came  not  to  call  the  right- 
eous, but  sinners  to  repentance. 

33  IT  And  they^  said  unto  him, 
^ Why  do  the  disciples  of  J 6hn  fast 
often,  and  make  prayers,  and  like- 
wise the  disciples  of  the  Phar-i-sees  ; 
but  thine  eat  and  drink  % 

34  And  he  said  unto  them.  Can 
ye  make  the  children  of  the  bride- 
chamher  fast,  while  the  bridegroom 
is  with  them  1 

35  But  the  days  will  come,  when 
the  bridegroom  shall  be  taken  away

CHAPTER  6. 

1 Christ  reproveth  the  Pharisees  touching  the  observation 
of  the  sabbath : 13  chooseth  twelve  apostles : 17  healeth 
the  diseased.  20  Of  blessings  and  curses:  27  how  we 
must  love  our  enemies:  46  and  join  the  doing  of  good 
works  to  the  hearing  of  the  word. 

And  -^it  came  to  pass  on  the 
second  sabbath  after  the  first, 
that  he  went  through  the  corn 
fields;  and  his  disciples  plucked 
the  ears  of  corn,  and  did  eat,  rub- 
bing them  in  their  hands. 

2  And  certain  of  the  Phar-i-sees 
said  unto  them.  Why  do  ye  that 
* which  is  not  lawful  to  do  on  the 
sabbath  days  % 

3  And  Je-§us  answering  them  said. 
Have  ye  not  read  so  much  as  this, 
*what  Da-vid  did,  when  himself 
was  an  hungred,  and  they  which 
were  with  him; 

4  How  he  went  into  the  house  of 
God,  and  did  take  and  eat  the  shew- 
bread,  and  gave  also  to  them  that 
were  with  him  • ""which  it  is  not  law- 
ful to  eat  but  tor  the  priests  alone  1 
5 And  he  said  unto  them.  That 
the  Son  of  man  is  Lord  also  of  the 
sabbath. 

6  ®And  it  came  to  pass  also  on 
another  sabbath,  that  he  entered 
into  the  synagogue  and  taught : 
and  there  was  a man  whose  right 
hand  was  withered. 

7  And  the  scribes  and  Phar4-sees 
watched  him.  whether  he  would 
heal  on  the  sabbath  day ; that  they 
might  find  an  accusation  against 
him. 

8  But  he  knew  their  thoughts,  and 
said  to  the  man  which  had  the 
withered  hand,  Rise  up,  and  stand 
forth  in  the  midst.  And  he  arose 
and  stood  forth. 

9  Then  said  Je-sus  unto  them,  I 
will  ask  you  one  thing ; Is  it  lawful 
on  the  sabbath  days  to  do  good, 
or  to  do  evil  1 to  save  life,  or  to 
destroy  it^

10  And  looking  round  about  upon 

them  all.  he  said  unto  the  man, 
Stretch  forth  thy  hand.  And  he 
did  so : and  his  hand  was  restored 
whole  as  the  other. 

1 1 And  they  were  filled  with  mad- 
ness ; and  communed  one  with  an- 
other what  they  might  do  to  Je-sus. 

12  ^And  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  that  he  went  out  into  a moun- 
tain to  pray,  and  continued  all  night 
in  prayer  to  God. 

13  H And  when  it  was  day,  he 
called  unto  him  his  disciples:  ®and 
of  them  he  chose  twelve,  whom  also 
he  named  apostles ; 

14  Si-m5n,  ("^whom  he  also  named 
Pe-ter,)  and  An-dre'w  his  brother, 
James  and  J5hn,  Phil-ip  and  Bar- 
thbl-h-m^,_ 

15  Mat-thew  and  Thbm-as,  James 
the  son  of  Al-phse-us,  and  Si-m5n 
called  ZAlo-tes, 

16  And  Ju-das  ^the  brother  oi 
James,  and  Ju-das  ls-ear-i-5t,  which 
also  was  the  traitor. 

17  H And  he  came  down  with 
them,  and  stood  in  the  plain,  and 
the  company  of  his  disciples,  ^and 
a great  multitude  pf  people  out  of 
all  Ju-dse-a  and  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and 
from  the  sea  coast  of  Tyre  and  Si- 
d5n,  which  came  to  hear  him,  and 
to  be  healed  of  their  diseases  ; 

18  And  they  that  were  vexed  with 
unclean  spirits : and  they  were 
healed. 

1 9 And  the  whole  multitude 
* sought  to  touch  him : for  'there 
went  virtue  out  of  him,  and  healed 
them  all. 

20  ^ And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes  on 
his  disciples,  and  said,  "Blessed  he 
ye  poor : for  your’s  is  the  kingdom 
of  God. 

21  "Blessed  are  ye  that  hunger 
now:  for  ye  shall  be  filled,  -p Blessed 
are  ye  that  weep  now : for  ye  shall 
laugh. 

22  ""Blessed  are  ye,  when  men 
shall  hate  you,  and  when  they 
® shall  separate  you  from  their  com- 
pany, and  shall  reproach  you,  and 
cast  out  your  name  as  evil,  for  the 
Son  of  man’s  sake. 

23  'Rejoice  ye  in  that  day,  and 
leap  for  joy:  for,  behold,  your  re- 
ward is  great  in  heaven : for  "in 
the  like  manner  did  their  fathers 
unto  the  prophets. 

24  *But  woe  unto  you /that  are 
rich ! for  *ye  have  received  your 
consolation. 

25  “Woe  unto  you  that  are  full! 
for  ye  shall  hunger.  '’Woe  unto 
you  that  laugh  now!  for  ye  shall 
mourn  and  weep.

foundation  built  an  house  upon  the

did  beat  vehemently,  and  immedi-

CHAPTER  7. 

1 Christ  findeth  a greater  faith  in  the  ccntwrion,  a Gentile, 
than  in  any  of  the  Jews:  10  healcth  his  servant:  11  rais-

OW  when  he  had  ended  all  his 
X 1 sayings  in  the  audience  of  the 
people,  ^he  entered  into  €)a-per- 
na-um.  . , 

2 And  a certain  centurions  serv- 

ant, who  was  dear  unto  him,  was 
sick,  and  ready  to  die.  „ - 

3 And  when  he  heard  of  Je-sus, 
he  sent  unto  him  the  elders  of  the 
Jews,  beseeching  him  that  he  would 
come  and  heal  his  servant.  ^ 

4 And  when  they  came  to  J e-sus, 

they  besought  him  instantly,  say- 
ing, That  he  was  worthy  for  whom 
he  should  do  this  : . 

5 For  he  loveth  our  nation,  and 
he  hath  built  us  a synagogue. 

6 Then  Je-stis  went  with  them. 
And  when  be  was  now  not  tar 
from  the  house,  the  centurion  sent 
friends  to  him,  saying  unto  him. 


64 


Centurion! s servant  healed. 


St.  LUKE,  7. 


Christ's  testimony  of  John. 


Lord,  trouble  not  thyself:  for  I 
am  not  worthy  that  thou  shouldest 
enter  under  my  roof  : 

7 Wherefore  neither  thought  I 
myself  worthy  to  come  unto  thee : 
but  say  in  a word,  and  my  servant 
shall  be  healed. 

8 For  I also  am  a man  set  under 
authority,  having  under  me  soldiers, 
and  I say  unto  ^one.  Go,  and  he 
goeth ; and  to  another,  Come,  and 
he  cometh ; and  to  my  servant.  Do 
this,  and  he  doeth  it. 

9 When  Je-sus  heard  these  things, 
he  marvelled  at  him,  and  turned 
him  about,  and  said  unto  the  peo- 
ple that  followed  him,  I say  unto 
you,  I have  not  found  so  great 
faith,  no,  not  in  Is-ra-6l. 

10  And  they  that  were  sent,  re- 
turning to  the  house,  found  the 
servant  whole  that  had  been  sick. 

1 1 H And  it  came  to  pass  the  day 
after,  that  he  went  into  a city  called 
Naun ; and  many  of  his  disciples 
went  with  him,  and  much  j)eople. 

12  Now  when  he  came  nigh  to 
the  gate  of  the  city,  behold,  there 
was  a dead  man  carried  out,  the 
only  son  of  his  mother,  and  she 
was  a widow : and  much  people  of 
the  city  was  with  her. 

13  And  when  the  Lord  saw  her. 
he  had  compassion  on  her,  and  said 
unto  her.  Weep  not. 

14  And  he  came  and  touched  the 
^bier : and  they  that  bare  him  stood 
still.  And  he  said.  Young  man,  I 
say  unto  thee,  ^ Arise. 

15  And  he  that  was  dead  sat  up, 
and  began  to  speak.  And  he  de- 
livered him  to  his  mother. 

16  ^And  there  came  a fear  on 
all : and  they  glorified  God,  saying, 
*That  a great  prophet  is  risen  up 
among  us ; and,  ™ That  God  hath 
visited  his  people. 

17  And  this  rumour  of  him  went 
forth  throughout  all  Ju-dse-a,  and 
throughout  all  the  region  round 
about. 

18  ”And  the  disciples  of  J5hn 
shewed  him  of  all  these  things. 

19  U And  J5hn  calling  rnito  him 
two  of  his  disciples  sent  them  to  Je- 
§us,  saying.  Art  thou  he  that  should 
come  1 or  look  we  for  another  % 

20  When  the  men  were  come  unto 
him,  they  said,  J5hn  Bap-tist  hath 
sent  us  unto  thee,  saying.  Art  thou 
he  that  should  cornel  or  look  we 
for  another'? 

21  And  in  that  same  hour  he 
cured  many  of  their  infirmities  and 
plagues,  and  of  evil  spirits ; and 
unto  many  that  were  blind  he  gave 
sight.

22  “Then  Je-sus  answering  said 
unto  them,  G;o  your  way,  and  tell 
J5hn  what  things  ye  have  seen  and 
heard ; * how  that  the  blind  see, 
the  lame  walk,  the  lepers  are 
cleansed,  the  deaf  hear,  the  dead 
are  raised,  ®to  the  poor  the  gospel 
is  preached. 

23  And  blessed  is  he,  whosoever 
shall  not  be  ofiended  in  me. 

24  ^ ^And  when  the  messengers 
of  John  were  departed,  he  began 
to  speak  unto  the  people  concern- 
ing John,  What  went  ye  out  into 
the  wilderness  for  to  see'?  A reed 
shaken  with  the  wind'? 

25  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to 
see'?  A man  clothed  in  soft  rai- 
ment '?  Behold,  they  which  are 
gorgeously  apparelled,  and  live 
delicately,  are  in  kings’  courts. 

26  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to 
see'?  A prophet'?  Yea,  I say  unto 
you,  and  rnuch  more  than  a prophet. 

27  This  is  he,  of  whom  it  is  writ- 
ten, ‘’Behold,  I send  my  messenger 
before  thy  face,  which  shall  prepare 
thy  way  before  thee. 

28  For  I say  unto  you.  Among  those 
that  are  born  of  women  there  is  not 
a greater  prophet  than  J5hn  the 
Bap-tist : but  he  that  is  least  in  the 
kingdom  of  God  is  greater  than  he. 

29  And  all  the  people  that  heard 
him,  and  the  publicans,  justified 
God,  -^being  baptized  with  the  bap- 
tism of  John. 

30  But  the  Phar-i-see§  and  lawyers 
^rejected  ’‘the  counsel  of  God  ^a- 
gainst  themselves,  being  not  bap- 
tized of  him. 

31  ^ And  the  Lord  said,  *Where- 
unto  then  shall  I liken  the  men  of 
this  generation'?  and  to  what  are 
they  likel 

32  They  are  like  unto  children 
sitting  in  the  marketplace,  and 
calling  one  to  another,  and  saying. 
We  have  piped  unto  you,  and  ye 
have  not  danced ; we  have  mourned 
to  you,  and  ye  have  not  wept. 

33  For  "John  the  Bap-tist  came 
neither  eating  bread  nor  drinking 
wine ; and  ye  say.  He  hath  a devil. 

34  The  Son  of  man  is  come  eating 
and  drinking ; and  ye  sayj  Behold  a 
gluttonous  man,  and  a winebibber, 
a friend  of  publicans  and  sinners  ! 

35  ^But  wisdom  is  justified  of  all 
her  children. 

36  H !^And  one  of  the  Phar-i-sees 
desired  him  that  he  would  eat  with 
him.  And  he  went  into  the  Phar- 
i-see’s  house,  and  sat  down  to  meat. 

37  And,  behold,  a woman  in  the 
city,  which  was  a sinner,  when  she 
knew  that  Je-su§  sat  at  meat  in  the

I’har4-see’s  house,  brought  an  ala- 

baster box  of  ointment,  , , . , 

38  And  stood  at  his  feet  behind 

him  weeping,  and  began  to  wash 
his  feet  with  tears,  and  did  wipe 
them  with  the  hairs  of  her  heacb 
and  kissed  his  feet,  and  anointed 
them  with  the  ointment.  . 

39  Now  when  the  Phar4-see  which 
had  bidden  him  saw  it,  he  spake 
within  himself,  saying,  “This  man, 
if  he  were  a prophet,  would  have 
known  who  and  what  manner  of 
woman  this  is  that  toucheth  him : 
for  she  is  a sinner. 

40  And  Je-sus  answering  said  unto 

him,  Si-m5n,  I have  somewhat  to 
say  unto  thee.  And  he  saith.  Mas- 
ter, say  on.  , 

41  There  was  a certain  creditor 
which  had  two  debtors : the  one 
owed  five  hundred  Spence,  and  the 
other  fifty. 

42  And  when  they  had  nothing  to 

pay,  he  frankly  forgave  them  both. 
Tell  me  therefore,  which  of  them 
will  love  him  most  % -it 

43  Si-m5n  answered  and  said,  I 
suppose  that  he,  to  whom  he  for- 
gave most.  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Thou  hast  rightly  judged. 

44  And  he  turned  to  the  woman, 
and  said  unto  Si-m6n,  Seest  thou 
this  woman  % I entered  into  thine 
house,  thou  gavest  me  no  water  for 
my  feet : but  she  hath  washed  my 
feet  with  tears,  and  wiped  them 
with  the  hairs  of  her  head. 

45  Thou  gavest  me  n9  kiss : but 
this  woman  since  the  time  I came 
in  hath  not  ceased  to  kiss  my  feet. 

46  ^My  head  with  oil  thou  didst 
not  anoint:  but  this  woman  hath 
anointed  my  feet  with  ointment. 

47  ^Wherefore  I say  unto  thee.  Her 

sins,  which  are  many,  are  forgiven ; 
for  she  loved  much : but  to  whom 
little  is  forgiven,  the  same  loveth 
little.  , 

48  And  he  said  unto  her,  '^Thy  sins 
are  forgiven. 

49  And  they  that  sat  at  meat  with 
him  began  to  say  within  themselves, 
*Who  is  this  that  forgiveth  sins 
alsol 

50  And  he  said  to  the  woman, 
”^Thy  faith  hath  saved  thee ; go  in 
peace.

shewing  the  glad  tidings  of  the 
kingdom  of  God:  and  the  twelve 
were  with  him, 

2 And  “certain  women,  which  had 
been  healed  of  evil  spirits  and  in- 
firmities, Ma-r^  called  Mag-da-le-ne, 
*out  of  whom  went  seven  devils^

H6r-5d’s  steward,  and  Su-san-na, 
and  many  others,  which  ministered 
unto  him  of  their  substance. 

4 H ‘^And  when  much  people  were 
gathered  together,  and  were  come 
to  him  out  of  every  city,  he  spake 
by  a parable : 

5 A sower  went  out  to  sow  his 
seed:  and  as  he  sowed,  some  fell  by 
the  way  side ; and  it  was  trodden 
down,  and  the  fowls  of  the  air  de- 
voured it. 

6 And  some  fell  upon  a rock ; and 
as  soon  as  it  was  sprung  up,  it 
withered  away,  because  it  lacked 
moisture. 

7 And  some  fell  among  thorns; 
and  the  thorns  sprang  up  with  it, 
and  choked  it. 

8 And  other  fell  on  good  ground, 
and  sprang  up,  and  bare  fruit  an 
hundredfold.  And  when  he  had 
said  these  things,  he  cried.  He  that 
hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear.  ^ 

9 ®And  his  disciples  asked  him, 
saying.  What  might  this  parable  be*? 

10  And  he  said.  Unto  you  it  is 

given  to  know  the  mysteries  of  the 
kingdom  of  God : but  to  others  in 
parables ; ^that  seeing  they  might 
not  see,  and  hearing  they  might  not 
understand.  . i . mi 

11  ^Now  the  parable  is  this : Ihe 
seed  is  the  word  of  God. 

12  Those  by  the  way  side  are  they 
that  heai* ; then  cometh  the  devil, 
and  taketh  away  the  word  out  of 
their  hearts,  lest  they  should  be- 
lieve and  be  saved. 

13  They  on  the  rock  are  they, 
which,  when  they  hear,  receive  the 
word  with  joy;  and  these  have  no 
root,  which  for  a while  believe,  and 
in  time  of  temptation  fall  away. 

14  And  that  which  fell  among 

thorns  are  they,  which,  when  they 
have  heard,  go  forth,  and  are  choked 
with  cares  and  riches  and  pleasures 
of  this  life,  and  bring  no  fruit  to 
perfection.  ^ . 

15  But  that  on  the  good  ground 

are  they,  which  in  an  honest  aim 
good  heart,  having  heard  the  word, 
keep  it,  and  bring  forth  fruit  with 
patience.  ,1.1

lighted  a candle,  covereth  it  with

1 7 “For  nothing  is  secret,  that  shall 
not  be  made  manifest ; neither  any 
thing  hid,  that  shall  not  be  known 
and  come  abroad. 

18  Take  heed  therefore  how  ye 
hear : “for  whosoever  hath,  to  him 
shall  be  given ; and  whosoever  hath 
not,  from  him  shall  be  taken  even 
that  which  he  ^seemeth  to  have. 

19  H ‘^Then  came  to  him  his  mo- 
ther and  his  brethren,  and  could 
not  come  at  him  for  the  press. 

20  And  it  was  told  him  by  certain 
which  said,  Thy  mother  and  thy 
brethren  stand  without,  desiring  to 
see  thee. 

21  And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  My  mother  and  my  brethren 
are  these  which  hear  the  word  of 
God,  and  do  it. 

22  ^ ®Now  it  came  to  pass  on  a 
certain  day,  that  he  went  int9  a ship 
with  his  disciples : and  he  said  unto 
them.  Let  us  go  over  unto  the  other 
side  of  the  lake.  And  they  launched 
forth. 

23  But  as  they  sailed  he  fell  asleep : 
and  there  came  down  a storm  of 
wind  on  the  lake ; and  they  were 
filled  with  water,  and  were  in 
jeopardy. 

24  And  they  came  to  him,  and 
awoke  him,  saying.  Master,  master, 
we  perish.  Then  he  arose,  and  re- 
buked the  wind  and  the  raging  of 
the  water : and  they  ceased,  and 
there  was  a calm. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them.  Where 
is  your  faith  1 And  they  being  afraid 
wondered,  saying  one  to  another. 
What  manner  of  man  is  this ! for 
he  commandeth  even  the  winds  and 
Water,  and  they  obey  him. 

26  U *And  they  arrived  at  the 
country  of  the  Gad-a-renes',  which 
is  over  against  Gal-i-lee. 

27  And  when  he  went  forth  to 
land,  there  met  him  out  of  the  city 
a certain  man,  which  had  devils  long 
time,  and  ware  no  clothes,  neither 
abode  in  any  house,  but  in  the 
tombs. 

28  When  he  saw  Je-sus,  he  cried 
out,  and  fell  down  before  him,  and 
with  a loud  voice  said.  What  have 
I to  do  with  thee,  Je-sus,  thou  Son 
of  God  most  high  % I beseech  thee, 
torment  me  not. 

29  (For  he  had  commanded  the 
unclean  spirit  to  come  out  of  the 
man.  For  oftentimes  it  had  caught 
him  : 'and  he  was  kept  bound  with 
chains  and  in  fetters  ; and  he  brake 
the  bands,  and  was  driven  of  the 
devil  into  the  wilderness.)

30  And  Je-sus  asked  him,  saying. 

What  is  thy  name'?  And  he  said. 
Legion : because  many  devils  were 
entered  into  him. 

31  And  they  besought  him  that  he 
would  not  command  them  to  go  out 
*into  the  deep. 

32  And  there  was  there  an  herd  of 
many  swine  feeding  on  the  moun- 
tain : and  they  besought  him  that 
he  would  suffer  them  to  enter  into 
them.  And  he  suffered  them. 

33  Then  went  the  devils  out  of  the 
man,  and  entered  into  the  swine : 
and  the  herd  ran  violently  down  a 
steep  place  into  the  lake,  and  were 
choked. 

34  When  they  that  fed  them  saw 
what  was  done,  they  fled,  and  went 
and  told  it  in  the  city  and  in  the 
country. 

35  Then  they  went  out  to  see  what 
was  done ; and  came  to  Je-sus,  and 
found  the  man,  out  of  whom  the 
devils  were  departed,  sitting  at  the 
feet  of  Je-sus,  clothed,  and  in  his 
right  mind  : and  they  were  afraid. 

36  They  also  which  saw  it  told 
them  by  what  means  he  that  was 
possessed  of  the  devils  was  healed. 

37  H •'^Then  the  whole  multitude 
of  the  country  of  the  Gad-a-renes' 
round  about  ^besought  him  to  de- 
part from  them ; for  they  were 
taken  with  great  fear : and  he  went 
up  into  the  ship,  and  returned  back 
again. 

38  Now  ^the  man  out  of  whom  the 
devils  were  departed  besought  him 
that  he  might  be  with  him : but  Je- 
sus sent  him  away,  saying, 

39  Return  to  thine  own  house, 
and  shew  how  great  things  God 
hath  done  unto  thee.  And  he  went 
his  way,  and  published  throughout 
the  whole  city  how  great  things 
Je-sus  had  done  unto  him. 

40  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
Je-siis  was  returned,  the  people 
glaidly  received  him : for  they  were 
all  waiting  for  him. 

41  U *And,  behold,  there  came  a 
man  named  Ja-I-rus,  and  he  was  a 
ruler  of  the  synagogue : and  he  fell 
down  at  Je-sus’  feet,  and  besought 
him  that  he  would  come  into  his 
house : 

42  For  he  had  one  only  daughter, 
about  twelve  years  of  age,  and  she 
lay  a dying.  But  as  he  went  the 
people  thronged  him. 

43  ^ ^And  a woman  having  an 
issue  of  blood  twelve  years,  which 
had  spent  all  her  living  upon  phy- 
sicians, neither  could  be  healed  of

45  And  Je-sus  said,  Who  touched 
mel  When  all  denied,  Pe-ter  and 
they  that  were  with  him  said,  Mas- 
ter, the  multitude  throng  thee  and 
press  thee,  and  sayest  thou.  Who 
touched  me”? 

46  And  Je-sus  said.  Somebody  hath 
touched  me:  for  I perceive  that 
® virtue  is  gone  out  of  me. 

47  And  when  the  woman  saw 
that  she  was  not  hid,  she  came 
trembling,  and  falling  down  be- 
fore him,  she  declared  unto  him 
before  all  the  people  for  wUat 
cause  she  had  touched  him,  and 
how  she  was  healed  immediately. 

48  And  he  said  unto  her.  Daugh- 
ter, be  of  good  comfort : thy  faith 
hath  made  thee  whole ; go  in 
peace. 

49  ^ While  he  yet  spake,  there 
cometh  one  from  the  ruler  of  the 
synagogue’s  house,  saying  to  him. 
Thy  daughter  is  dead ; trouble  not 
the  Master. 

50  But  when  Je-siis  heard  it,  he 
answered  him,  saying.  Fear  not: 
believe  only,  and  she  shall  be  made 
whole. 

51  And  when  he  came  into  the 
house,  he  suffered  no  man  to  go  in, 
save  re-ter,  and  James,  and  John, 
and  the  father  and  the  mother  of 
the  maiden. 

52  And  all  wept,  and  bewailed  her : 
but  he  said.  Weep  not ; she  is  not 
dead,  "”but  sleepeth. 

53  And  they  laughed  him  to 
scorn,  knowing  that  she  was  dead. 

54  And  he  put  them  all  out,  and 
took  her  by  the  hand,  and  called, 
saying.  Maid,  ” arise. 

55  And  her  spirit  came  a^ain,  and 
she  arose  straightway:  and  he  com- 
manded to  give  her  meat. 

56  And  her  parents  were  aston- 
ished : but  " he  charged  them  that 
they  should  tell  no  man  what  was 
done.

11  And  the  people,  when  they 
knew  it,  followed  him : and  he  re- 
ceived them,  and  spake  unto  them 
of  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  healed 
them  that  had  need  of  healing. 

12  ^And  when  the  day  began  to 
wear  away,  then  came  the  twelve, 
and  said  unto  him.  Send  the  multi- 
tude away,  that  they  may  go  into 
the  towns  and  country  round  about, 
and  lodge,  and  get  victuals : for  we 
are  here  in  a desert  place. 

13  But  he  said  unto  them,  Give 
ye  them  to  eat.  And  they  said, 
We  have  no  more  but  five  loaves 
and  two  fishes;  except  we  should 
go  and  buy  meat  for  all  this  people. 

14  For  they  were  about  five  thou- 
sand men.  And  he  said  to  his  dis- 
ciples, Make  them  sit  down  by  fifties 
in  a company. 

15  And  they  did  so,  and  made 
them  all  sit  down. 

16  Then  he  took  the  five  loaves 
and  the  two  fishes,  and  looking  up 
to  heaven,  he  blessed  them,  and 
brake,  and  gave  to  the  disciples  to 
set  before  the  multitude. 

17  And  they  did  eat,  and  were  all 
filled : and  there  was  taken  up  of 
fragments  that  remained  to  them 
twelve  baskets. 

18  U ’’And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
was  alone  praying,  his  disciples 
were  with  him : and  he  asked  them, 
saying.  Whom  say  the  people  that 
lam?

19  They  answering  said,  “J5hn 
the  Ban-tist ; but  some  say,  E-h-as: 
and  others  say,  that  one  of  the  old 
prophets  is  risen  again. 

20  He  said  unto  them,  But  whom 
say  ye  that  I am  ^ ® Pe-ter  answer- 
ing said.  The  -Christ  of  God. 

2 1 -^And  he  straitly  charged  them, 
and  commanded  them  to  tell  no 
man  that  thing; 

22  Saying,  ^The  Son  of  man  must 
suffer  many  things,  and  be  rejected 
of  the  elders  and  chief  priests  and 
scribes,  and  be  slain,  and  be  raised 
the  third  day. 

23  U *And  he  said  to  them  all.  If 
any  man  will  come  after  me,  let 
him  deny  himself,  and  take  up  his 
cross  daily,  and  follow  me. 

24  For  whosoever  will  save  his  life 
shall  lose  it : but  whosoever  will  lose 
his  life  for  my  sake,  the  same  shall 
save  it. 

25  * For  what  is  a man  advantaged, 
if  he  gain  the  whole  world,  and  lose 
himself,  or  be  cast  awayl 

26  *For  whosoever  shall  be  a- 
shamed  of  me  and  of  my  words, 
of  him  shall  the  Son  of  man  be 
ashamed,  when  he  shall  come  in 
his  own  glory,  and  in  his  Father’s, 
and  of  the  holy  angels. 

27  ""But  I tell  you  of  a truth,  there 
be  some  standing  here,  which  shall 
not  taste  of  death,  till  they  see  the 
kingdom  of  God. 

28  H "And  it  came  to  pass  about 
an  eight  days  after  these  ^ sayings, 
he  took  Pe-ter  and  John  and  James, 
and  went  up  into  a mountain  to 
pray. 

29  And  as  he  prayed,  the  fashion 
of  his  countenance  was  altered, 
and  his  raiment  was  white  and 
glistering. 

30  And,  behold,  there  talked  with 
him  two  men,  which  were  Mo-s0§ 
and  E-h-as : 

31  Who  appeared  in  glory,  and 
spake  of  his  decease  which  he 
should  accomplish  at  JAru-sa-lem. 

32  But  Pe-ter  and  they  that  were 
with  him  "'were  heavy  with  sleep: 
and  when  they  were  awake,  they 
saw  his  glory,  and  the  two  men 
that  stood  with  him. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
departed  from  him,  Pe-ter  said  unto 
Je%iis,  Master,  it  is  good  for  us  to 
be  here : and  let  us  make  three 
tabernacles;  one  for  thee,  and  one 
for  Mo-96§,  and  one  for  E-li-as : not 
knowing  what  he  said. 

34  Wliile  he  thus  spake,  there 
came  a cloud,  and  overshadowed 
them:  and  they  feared  as  they  en- 
tered into  the  cloud.

35  And  there  came  a voice  out 
of  the  cloud,  saying,  *This  is  my 
beloved  Son  : ® hear  him. 

36  And  when  the  voice  was  past, 
Je-sus  was  found  alone.  '^And  they 
kept  it  close,  and  told  no  man  in 
those  days  any  of  those  things 
which  they  had  seen. 

37  U ^And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
on  the  next  day,  when  they  were 
come  down  from  the  hill,  much 
people  met  him. 

38  And,  behold,  a man  of  the  com- 

Eany  cried  out,  saying.  Master,  I 
eseech  thee,  look  upon  my  son: 
for  he  is  mine  only  child. 

39  And,  lo,  a spirit  taketh  him, 
and  he  suddenly  crieth  out ; and  it 
teareth  him  that  he  foameth  again, 
and  bruising  him  hardly  departeth 
from  him. 

40  And  I besought  thy  disciples 
to  cast  him  out;  and  they  could 
not. 

41  And  Je-sus  answering  said,  O 
faithless  and  perverse  generation, 
how  long  shall  I be  with  you,  and 
suffer  yen'?  Bring  thy  son  hither. 
42  And  as  he  was  yet  a coming, 
the  devil  threw  him  down,  and 
tare  him.  A^d  Je-§us  rebuked  the 
unclean  spirit,  and  healed  the  child, 
and  delivered  him  again  to  his 
father. 

43  ^ And  they  were  all  amazed 
at  the  mighty  power  of  God.  But 
while  they  wondered  every  one  at 
all  things  which  Je-sus  did,  he  said 
unto  his  disciples, 

44  "Let  these  sayings  sink  down 
into  your  ears : for  the  Son  of  man 
shall  be  delivered  into  the  hands  of 
men. 

45/ But  they  understood  not  this 
saying,  and  it  was  hid  from  them, 
that  they  perceived  it  not : and  they 
feared  to  ask  him  of  that  saying. 

46  U ^Then  there  arose  a reasoning 
among  them,  which  of  them  should 
be  greatest. 

47  And  Je-siis,  perceiving  the 
thought  of  their  heart,  took  a child, 
and  set  him  by  him, 

48  And  said  unto  them,  * Whoso- 
ever shall  receive  this  child  in  my 
name  receiveth  me : and  whosoever 
shall  receive  me  receiveth  him  that 
sent  me:  *for  he  that  is  least  among 
you  all,  the  same  shall  be  great. 

49  H "And  John  answered  and 
said.  Master,  we  saw  one  casting 
out  devils  in  thy  name;  and  we 
forbad  him,  because  he  followeth 
not  with  us. 

50  And  Je-siis  said  unto  him.  For- 
bid him  not : for  * he  that  is  not 
against  us  is  for  us.

seventy  disciples. 


51  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  time  was  come  that  “he  should 
be  received  up,  he  stedfastly  set  his 
face  to  go  to  JAru-sd-lem, 

52  And  sent  messengers  before  his 
face:  and  they  went,  and  entered 
into  a village  of  the  Sa-mar4-tans, 
to  make  ready  for  him. 

53  And  Hhey  did  not  receive  him, 
because  his  face  was  as  though  he 
would  go  to  J e-ru-sa-lem. 

54  And  when  his  disciples  James 
and  John  saw  this,  they  said,  Lord, 
wilt  thou  that  we  command  fire  to 
come  down  from  heayen.  and  con- 
sume them,  even  as  ^ E-li-as  did  1 

55  But  he  turned,  and  rebuked 
them,  and  said,  Ye  know  not  what 
manner  of  spirit  ye  are  of. 

56  For  Hhe  Son  of  man  is  not 
come  to  destroy  men’s  lives,  but 
to  save  them.  And  they  went  to 
another  village. 

57  IT  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as 
they  went  in  the  way,  a certain  7iian 
said  unto  him.  Lord,  I will  follow 
thee  whithersoever  thou  goest. 

58  And  Je-siis  said  unto  him,  Foxes 
have  holes,  and  birds  of  the  air  have 
nests ; but  the  Son  of  man  hath  not 
where  to  lay  his  head. 

59  ^And  he  said  unto  another.  Fol- 
low liie.  But  he  said.  Lord,  suffer 
me  first  to  go  and  bury  my  father. 

60  Je-sus  said  unto  him.  Let  the 
dead  bury  their  dead  : but  go  thou 
and  preach  the  kingdom  of  God. 

61  And  another  also  said.  Lord, 
will  follow  thee;  but  let  me  first 

go  bid  them  farewell,  which  are  at 
ome  at  my  house. 

62  And  Je-sus  said  unto  him.  No 
man,  having  put  his  hand  to  the 
plough,  and  looking  back,  is  fit  for 
the  kingdom  of  God. 

CHAPTER  10. 

1 Christ  sendeth  out  seventy  disciples;  17  admonisheth 
them  to  be  humble,  and,  wherein  to  rejoice;  25  teacheth 
the  lawyer  how  to  attain  eternal  life;  41  reprehendeth 
Martha,  and  commendeth  Mary. 

AFTER  these  things  the  Lord 
appointed  other  seventy  also, 
and  ^sent  them  two  and  two  before 
his  face  into  every  city  and  place, 
whither  he  himself  would  come. 

2  Therefore  said  he_  unto  them, 
‘*The  harvest  truly  is  great,  but 
the  labourers  are  few:  ®pray  ye 
therefore  the  Lord  of  the  harvest, 
that  he  would  send  forth  labourers 
into  his  harvest. 

3  Go  your  ways : behold,  I send 
you  forth  as  lambs  among  wolves. 

4  * Carry  neither  purse,  nor  scrip, 
nor  shoes : and  *s^ute  no  man  by 
the  way. 

5  *And  into  whatsoever  house  ye 


enter,  first  say.  Peace  be  to  this 
house. 

6 And  if  the  son  of  peace  be  there, 
your  peace  shall  rest  upon  it : if  nob 
it  shall  turn  to  you  again. 

7 *And  in  the  same  house  remain, 
eating  and  drinking  such  things 

as  they  give : for  ‘^the  labourer  is 
worthy  of  his  hire.  Go  not  from 
house  to  house. 

8 And  into  whatsoever  city  ye 
enter,  and  they  receive  you,  eat 
such  things  as  are  set  before  you : 

9 ^And  heal  the  sick  that  are  there- 
in, and  say  unto  them,  ^The  king- 
dom of  God  is  come  nigh  unto  you. 

10  But  into  whatsoever  city  ye 
enter,  and  they  receive  you  not, 
go  your  ways  out  into  the  streets 
of  tne  same,  and  say, 

1 1 *Even  the  very  dust  of  your  city, 
which  cleaveth  on  us,  we  do  wipe 
off  against  you : notwithstanding  be 
ye  sure  of  this,  that  the  kingdom  of 
God  is  come  nigh  unto  you. 

12  But  I say  unto  you,  that  "‘it 
shall  be  more  tolerable  in  that  day 
for  S5d-5m,  than  for  that  city. 

1 3 "Woe  unto  thee,  Ch5-ra-zin ! woe 
unto  thee,  Beth-sa4-da ! ®for  if  the 
mighty  works  had  been  done  in 
Tyre  and  Si-d5n,  which  have  been 
done  in  you,  they  had  a great  while 
ago  repented,  sitting  in  sackcloth 
and  ashes. 

14  But  it  shall  be  more  tolerable 
for  Tyre  and  Si-d5n  at  the  judgment, 
than  for  you. 

1 5 "And  thou,  Ca-per-na-iim,  which 
art  * exalted  to  heaven,  *shalt  be 
thrust  down  to  hell. 

16  "He  that  heareth  you  heareth 
me ; and  *he  that  despiseth  you  de- 
spiseth  me ; ^and  he  that  despiseth 
me  despiseth  him  that  sent  me. 

17  IT  And  *the  seventy  returned 
again  with  joy,  saying.  Lord,  even 
the  devils  are  subject  unto  us 
through  thy  name. 

18  And  he  said  unto  them,  “I  be- 
held Sa-tan  as  lightning  fall  from 
heaven. 

19  Behold,  H give  unto  you  p9wer 
to  tread  on  serpents  and  scorpions, 
and  over  all  the  power  of  the 
enemy : and  nothing  shall  by  any 
means  hurt  you. 

20  Notwithstanding  in  this  rejoice 
not,  that  the  spirits  are  subject  un 
to  you  ; but  rather  rejoice,  because 
^ your  names  are  written  in  heayen. 

21  ^ ^In  that  hour  Je-siis  rejoiced 
in  spirit,  and  said,  I thank  thee,  O 
Father,  Lord  of  heaven  and  earth, 
that  thou  hast  hid  these  things 
from  the  wise  and  prudent,  and 
hast  revealed  them  unto  babes ;

The  good  Samaritan. 

even  so,  Father;  for  so  it  seemed 

good  in  thy  sight. 

22  ®A1U  things  are  delivered  to 
me  of  my  Father : and  * no  man 
knoweth  who  the  Son  is,  but  the 
Father;  and  who  the  Father  is, 
but  the  Son,  and  Ae  to  whom  the 
Son  will  reveal  him. 

23  H And  he  turned  him  unto 
his  disciples,  and  said  privately, 
‘^Blessed  are  the  eyes  which  see 
the  things  that  ye  see : 

24  For  I tell  you,  ®that  many  pro- 
phets and  kings  have  desired  to  see 
those  things  which  ye  see,  and  have 
not  seen  them;  and  to  hear  those 
things  which  ye  hear,  and  have  not 
heard  them. 

25  H And,  behold,  a certain  lawyer 
stood  up,  and  tempted  him,  saying, 
* Master,  what  shall  I do  to  inherit 
eternal  life  1 

26  He  said  unto  him.  What  is 
written  in  the  lawl  how  readest 
thou '? 

27  And  he  answering  said,  *Thou 
shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  G(xl  with 
all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul, 
and  with  all  thy  strength,  and  with 
all  thy  mind ; and  *thy  neighbour 
as  thyself. 

28  And  he  said  unto  him.  Thou 
hast  answered  right : this  do,  and 
"‘thou  shalt  live. 

29  But  he,  willing  to  "justify  him- 
self, said  unto  Je-siis,  And  who  is 
my  neighbour*? 

30  And  Je-sus  answering  said,  A 
certain  man  went  down  from  JA 
ru-sa-lem  to  Jgr-i-cho,  and  fell  a- 
mong  thieves,  which  stripped  him 
of  his  raiment,  and  wounded  him, 
and  departed,  leaving  him  half  dead. 

31  And  by  chance  there  came  down 
a certain  priest  that  way : and  when 
he  saw  him,  ^he  passed  by  on  the 
other  side. 

32  And  likewise  a Le-vite,  when 
he  was  at  the  place,  came  and 
looked  on  him,  and  passed  by  on 
the  other  side. 

33  But  a certain  «S5,-mar-i-tan,  as 
he  journeyed,  came  where  he  was : 
and  when  he  saw  him,  he  had  com- 
passion on  him, 

34  And  went  to  hiin,  and  bound 
up  his  wounds,  pouring  in  oil  and 
wine,  and  set  him  on  his  own  beast, 
and  brought  him  to  an  inn,  and 
took  care  of  him. 

35  And  on  the  morrow  when  he 
departed,  he  took  out  two  Spence, 
and  gave  them  to  the  host,  and 
said  unto  him.  Take  care  of  him ; 
and  whatsoever  thou  spendest 
more,  when  I come  again,  I will 
repay  thee.

36  Which  now  of  these  three, 

thinkest  thou,  was  neighbour  un- 
to him  that  fell  among  the  thieves  1 

37  And  he  said.  He  that  shewed 
mercy  on  him.  Then  said  Je-sus 
unto  him,  Go,  and  do  thou  likewise. 

38  Now  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
went,  that  he  entered  into  a cer- 
tain village : and  a certain  woman 
named  ‘'Mar-tha  received  him  into 
her  house. 

39  And  she  had  a sister  called 
MaAy,  which  also  ^sat  at  Je-sus’ 
feet,  and  heard  his  word. 

40  But  Mar-tha  was  cumbered 
about  much  serving,  and  came  to 
him,  and  said.  Lord,  dost  thou  not 
care  that  my  sister  hath  left  me  to 
serve  alone  *?  bid  her  therefore  that 
she  help  me. 

41  And  Je-sus  answered  and  said 
unto  her,  Mar-tha,  Mar-tha,  thou 
art  careful  and  troubled  about  many 
things  : 

42  But  *one  thing  is  needful : and 
MaAy  hath  chosen  that  good  part, 
which  shall  not  be  taken  away  from 
her. 

CHAPTER  11. 

1 Christ  teacheth  to  pray.  14  He,  casting  out  a dumb  devil, 
rebuketh  the  blasphemous  Pharisees:  28  and  sheweth  who 
are  blessed:  29  preacheth  to  the  people,  37  and  repre- 
hendeth  the  outward  shew  of  holiness  in  the  Pharisees, 
scribes,  and  lawyers. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  he 
XI-  was  praying  in  a certain  place, 
when  he  ceased,  one  of  his  disciples 
said  unto  him.  Lord,  teach  us  to 
pray,  as  J6hn  also  taught  his  dis- 
ciples. 

2 And  he  said  unto  them.  When 
ye  pray,  say,  °Our  Father  which  art 
in  heaven.  Hallowed  be  thy  name. 
Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be 
done,  as  in  heaven,  so  in  earth. 

3 Give  us  ^day  by  day  our  daily 
bread. 

4 And  forgive  us  our  sins ; fpr  we 
also  forgive  every  one  that  is  in- 
debted to  us.  And  lead  us  not  into 
temptation ; but  deliver  us  from 
evil. 

5 And  he  said  unto  them.  Which 
of  you  shall  have  a friend,  and  shall 
go  unto  him  at  midnight,  and  say 
unto  him.  Friend,  lend  me  three 
loaves ; 

6 For  a friend  of  mine  ^in  his 
journey  is  come  to  me,  and  I have 
nothing  to  set  before  him  1 

7 And  he  from  within  shall  an- 
swer and  say.  Trouble  me  not : the 
door  is  now  shut,  and  my  children 
are  with  me  in  bed ; I cannot  rise 
and  give  thee. 

8 I say  unto  you,  ^Though  he  will 
not  rise  and  give  him,  because  he 
is  his  friend,  yet  because  of  his  im-

portunity  he  will  rise  and  give  him 
as  many  as  he  needeth. 

9 “And  I sajr  unto  you,  Ask,  and 
it  shall  be  given  you;  seek,  and 
ve  shall  find;  knock,  and  it  shall 
be  opened  unto  you. 

10  For  every  one  that  asketh  re- 
ceiveth ; and  he  that  seeketh  find- 
eth ; and  to  him  that  knocketh  it 
shall  be  opened. 

11  ‘*If  a son  shall  ask  bread  of  any 
of  you  that  is  a father,  will  he  give 
him  a stone  1 or  if  he  ask  a fish, 
will  he  for  a fish  give  him  a serpent'? 

12  Or  if  he  shall  ask  an  egg,  will 
he  ^ofier  him  a scorpion'? 

13  If  ye  then,  being  evil,  know 
how  to  give  good  gifts  unto  your 
children : how  much  more  shall 
your  heavenly  Father  give  the 
Holy  Spirit  to  them  that  ask  him '? 

14  H '‘And  he  was  casting  out  a 
devil,  and  it  was  dumb.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  the  devil  was 
gone  out,  the  dumb  spake ; and  the 
people  wondered. 

15  But  some  of  them  said,  * He 
casteth  out  devils  through  ^Be-5l- 
z6-bub  the  chief  of  the  devils. 

16  And  others,  tempting  him, 
^sought  of  him  a sign  from  heaven. 

17  "“But  “he,  knowing  their 
thoughts,  said  unto  them.  Every 
kingdom  divided  against  itself  is 
brought  to  desolation ; and  a house 
divided  against  a house  falleth. 

1 8 If  Sa-tan  also  be  divided  against 
himself,  how  shall  his  kingdom 
stand'?  because  ye  say  that  I cast 
out  devils  through  Be-6l-ze-bub. 

19  And  if  I by  Be-6l-z6-bub  cast 

out  devils,  by  whom  do  your  sons 
cast  them  out  *?  therefore  shall  they 
be  your  judges.  ^ ^ ^ , 

20  But  if  I "'  with  the  finger  of  God 
cast  out  devils,  no  doubt  the  king- 
dom of  God  is  come  upon  you. 

21  *When  a strong  man  armec 
keepeth  his  palace,  his  goods  are 
in  peace: 

22  But  *when  a stronger  than  he 
shall  come  upon  him,  and  over 
come  him,  he  taketh  from  him  all 
his  armour  wherein  he  trusted,  and 
divideth  his  spoils. 

23  “He  that  is  not  with  me  is 
against  me : and  he  that  gathereth 
not  with  me  scattereth. 

24  *When  the  unclean  spirit  is 
gone  out  of  a man,  he  walketh 
through  dry  places,  seeking  rest; 
and  finding  none,  he  saith,  I will 
return  unto  my  house  whence  I 
came  out. 

25  And  when  he  cometh,  he  find- 
eth  it  swept  and  garnished. 

26  Then  goeth  he,  and  taketh  to

him  seven  other  spirits  more  wicked 
than  himself ; and  they  enter  in, 
and  dwell  there:  and  '*the  last  state 
of  that  man  is  worse  than  the  first. 

27  ^ And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
spake  these  things,  a certain  Avoman 
of  the  company  lifted  up  her  voice, 
and  said  unto  him,  ‘’Blessed  is  the 
womb  that  bare  thee,  and  the  paps 
which  thou  hast  sucked. 

28  But  he  said.  Yea  * rather,  bless- 
ed are  they  that  hear  the  word  of 
God,  and  keep  it. 

29  ^ -^And  when  the  people  were 
gathered  thick  together,  he  began 
to  say.  This  is  an  evil  generation : 
they  seek  a sign  5 and  there  shall 
no  sign  be  given  it,  but  the  sign  of 
Jo-nas  the  prophet. 

30  For  as  5 Jo-nas  was  a sign  unto 
the  Nm-e-vites,  so  shall  also  the  Son 
of  man  be  to  this  generation. 

31  "The  queen  of  the  south  shall 
rise  up  in  the  judgment  with  the 
men  of  this  generation,  and  con- 
demn them : for  she  came  from 
the  utmost  parts  of  the  earth  to 
hear  the  wisdom  of  S6l-5-m5n ; 
and,  behold,  a greater  than  S61-5- 
m5n  is  here. 

32  The  men  of  Nin-6-vg  shall  rise 
up  in  the  judgment  with  this  gen- 
eration, and  shall  condemn  it:  for 
"they  repented  at  the  preaching  of 
Jo-nas  ; and,  behold,  a greater  than 
Jo-nas  here. 

33  ^No  man,  when  he  hath  lighted 
a candle,  putteth  it  in  a secret  place, 
neither  under  a ^bushel,  but  on  a 
candlestick,  that  they  which  come 
in  may  see  the  light. 

34  »The  light  of  the  body  is  the 
eye  : therefore  when  thine  eye  is 
single,  thy  whole  body  also  is  full 
of  light ; but  when  thine  eye  is 
evil,  thy  body  also  is  full  of  dark- 
ness. 

35  Take  heed  therefore  that  the 
light  which  is  in  thee  be  not  dark- 

HGSS. 

36  If  thy  whole  body  therefore  he 
full  of  light,  having  no  part  dark, 
the  whole  shall  be  full  of  light, 
as  when  ^the  bright  shining  of  a 
candle  doth  give  thee  light. 

37  H And  as  he  spake,  a certain 
Phar4-see  besought  him  to  dine 
with  him : and  he  went  in,  and  sat 
down  to  meat. 

38  And  2' when  the  Phar4-see  saw 
it,  he  marvelled  that  he  had  not 
first  washed  before  dinner. 

39  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Now  do  ye  Phar-i-sees  make  clean 
the  outside  of  the  cup  and  the  plat- 
ter ; but  “your  inward  part  is  full 
of  ravening  and  wickedness.

thus  saying  thou  reproachest  us 
also. 

46  And  he  said.  Woe  unto  you 
also,  ye  lawyers ! ^for  ye  lade  men 
with  burdens  grievous  to  be  borne, 
and  ye  yourselves  touch  not  the 
burdens  with  one  of  your  fingers. 

47  ""Woe  unto  you ! for  ye  build 
the  sepulchres  of  the  prophets,  and 
your  fathers  killed  them. 

48  Truly  ye  bear  witness  that  ye 
allow  the  deeds  of  your  fathers : 
for  they  indeed  killed  them,  and 
ye  build  their  sepulchres. 

49  Therefore  also  said  the  wisdom 
of  God,  will  send  them  prophets 
and  apostles,  and  some  of  them  they 
shall  slay  and  persecute : 

50  That  the  blood  of  all  the  pro- 
phets, which  was  shed  from  the 
foundation  of  the  world,  may  be 
required  of  this  generation ; 

51  «From  the  blood  of  A-bel  unto 
""the  blood  of  Zach-a-ri-as,  which 
perished  between  the  altar  and  the 
temple:  verily  I say  unto  you.  It 
shall  be  required  of  this  generation. 

52  "Woe  unto  you,  lawyers  ! for  ye 
have  taken  away  the  key  of  knowl- 
edge : ye  entered  not  in  yourselves, 
and  them  that  were  entering  in  ye 
^hindered. 

53  And  as  he  said  these  things 
unto  them,  the  scribes  and  the 
Phar4-see§  began  to  urge  him  ve- 
hemently, andf  to  provoke  him  to 
speak  of  many  things :

CHAPTER  12. 

1 Christ  preacheth  to  his  disciples  to  avoid  hypocrisy:  13 
to  beware  of  covetousness.  22  Of  worldly  carefulness. 
49  Of  divisions,  on  account  of  the  gospel. 


IN  “the  mean  time,  when  there 
were  gathered  together  an  in- 
numerable multitude  of  people,  in- 
somuch that  they  trode  one  upon 
another,  he  began  to  say  unto  his 
disciples  first  of  all,  ® Beware  ye  of 
the  leaven  of  the  Phar4-sees,  which 
is  hypocrisy. 

2  ®For  there  is  nothing  covered, 
that  shall  not  be  revealed ; neither 
hid,  that  shall  not  be  known. 

3  Therefore  whatsoever  ye  have 
spoken  in  darkness  shall  be  heard 
in  the  light ; and  that  which  ye 
have  spoken  in  the  ear  in  closets 
shall  be  proclaimed  upon  the  house- 
tops. 

4  "And  I say  unto  you  *my  friends. 
Be  not  afraid  of  them  that  kill  the 
body,  and  after  that  have  no  more 
that  they  can  do. 

5  But  I will  forewarn  you  whom 
ye  shall  fear  : Fear  him,  which  after 
he  hath  killed  hath  power  to  cast 
into  hell ; yea,  I say  unto  you.  Fear 
him. 

6  Are  not  five  sparrows  sold  for 
two  ‘^farthings,  and  not  one  of  them 
is  forgotten  before  God  ? 

7  But  even  the  very  hairs  of  your 
head  are  all  numbered.  Fear  not 
therefore : ye  are  of  more  value 
than  many  sparrows. 

8  ""Also  I say  unto  you.  Whosoever 
shall  confess  me  before  men,  him 
shall  the  Son  of  man  also  confess 
before  the  angels  of  God : 

9  But  he  that  denieth  me  before 
men  shall  be  denied  before  the 
angels  of  God. 

10  And  ^whosoever  shall  speak  a 
word  against  the  Son  of  man,  it 
shall  be  forgiven  him : but  unto 
him  that  blasphemeth  against  the 
Holy  Ghost  it  shall  not  be  for- 
given. 

11  "And  when  they  bring  you 
unto  the  synagogues,  and  unto 
magistrates,  and  powers,  take  ye 
no  thought  how  or  what  thing  ye 
shall  answer,  or  what  ye  shall  say  : 

1 2  For  the  Holy  Ghost  shall  teach 
you  in  the  same  hour  what  ye 
ought  to  say. 

13  H And  one  of  the  company  said 
unto  him,  Master,  speak  to  my 
brother,  that  he  divide  the  inher- 
itance with  me. 

14  And  he  said  unto  him,  “ Man, 
who  made  me  a judge  or  a divider 
over  you  ? 

15  And  he  said  unto  them,  ^Take 
heed,  and  beware  of  covetousness : 
for  a man’s  life  consisteth  not  in 
the  abundance  of  the  things  which 
he  possesseth. 

lo  And  he  spake  a parable  unto 


73 


St.  LUKE,  12. 


Christ  'preacheih 


to  his  discipleSo 


them,  saying.  The  ground  of  a 
certain  rich  man  brought  forth 
plentifully : 

17  And  he  thought  within  him- 
self, saying.  What  shall  I do,  be- 
cause I have  no  room  where  to 
bestow  my  fruits'? 

18  And  he  said.  This  will  I do: 

I will  pull  down  my  barns,  and 
build  greater  ; and  there  will  I be- 
stow all  my  fruits  and  my  goods. 

19  And  I will  say  to  my  soul, 
®Soul,  thou  hast  much  goods  laid 
up  for  many  years;  take  thine 
ease,  eat,  drink,  and  be  merry. 

20  But  God  said  unto  him.  Thou 
fool,  this  night  ®thy^  soul  shall  be 
required  of  thee : -^then  whose  shall 
those  things  be,  which  thou  hast 
provided  % 

21  So  is  he  thar  layeth  up  treas- 
ure for  himself,  ^and  is  not  rich 
toward  God. 

22  H And  he  said  unto  his  dis- 
ciples, Therefore  I say  unto  you, 
*Take  no  thought  for  your  life, 
what  ye  shall  eat ; neither  for  the 
body,  what  ye  shall  put  on. 

23  The  life  is  more  than  meat,  and 
the  body  is  more  than  raiment. 

24  Consider  the  ravens : for  they 
neither  sow  nor  reap;  which  nei- 
ther have  storehouse  nor  barn ; 
and  * God  feedeth  them  : how  much 
more  ai-e  ye  better  than  the  fowls  % 

25  And  which  of  you  with  taking 
thought  can  add  to  his  stature  one 
cubit  ? 

26  If  ye  then  be  not  able  to  do 
that  thing  which  is  least,  why  take 
ye  thought  for  the  rest  ? 

27  Consider  the  lilies  how  they 
grow  : they  toil  not,  they  spin  not ; 
and  yet  I say  unto  you,  that  S51-6- 
mon  in  all  his  glory  was  not  arrayed 
like  one  of  these. 

28  If  then  God  so  clothe  the  grass, 
which  is  to  day  in  the  field,  and  to 
morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven ; how 
much  more  will  he  clothe  you,  O ye 
of  little  faith  % 

29  And  seek  not  ye  what  ye  shall 
eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink,  ^neither 
be  ye  of  doubtful  mind. 

30  For  all  these  things  do  the 
nations  of  the  world  seek  after : 
and  your  Father  knoweth  that  ye 
have  need  of  these  things. 

31  51  ^But  rather  seek  ye  the  king- 
dom of  God ; and  all  these  things 
shall  be  added  unto  you. 

32  Fear  not,  little  flock ; for  ^it  is 
your  Father’s  good  pleasure  to  give 
you  the  kingdom.

alms ; ” provide  yourselves  ba^s

the  heavens  that  faileth  not,  where 
no  thief  approacheth,  neither  moth 
corruptetn. 

34  For  where  your  treasure  is, 
there  will  your  heart  be  also. 

35  “Let  your  loins  be  girded  about, 
and  ^your  lights  burning ; 

36  And  ye  yourselves  like  unto 
men  that  wait  for  their  lord,  when 
he  will  return  from  the  wedding; 
that  when  he  cometh  and  knock- 
eth,  they  may  open  unto  him  im- 
mediately. 

37  ‘^Blessed  are  those  servants, 
whom  the  lord  when  he  cometh 
shall  find  watching : verily  I say 
unto  you,  that  he  shall  ^rd  himself, 
and  make  them  to  sit  down  to 
meat,  and  will  come  forth  and  serve 
them. 

38  And  if  he  shall  come  in  the 
second  watch,  or  come  in  the  third 
watch,  and  find  them  so,  blessed 
are  those  servants. 

39  ^And  this  know,  that  if  the 
goodman  of  the  house  had  known 
what  hour  the  thief  would  come, 
he  would  have  watched,  and  not 
have  suffered  his  house  to  be  bro- 
ken through. 

40  *Be  ye  therefore  ready  also: 
for  the  Son  of  man  cometh  at  an 
hour  when  ye  think  not. 

41  H Then  Pe-ter  said  unto  him. 
Lord,  speakest  thou  this  parable 
unto  us,  or  even  to  all? 

42  And  the  Lord  said,  "^Who  then 
is  that  faithful  and  wise  steward, 
whom  his  lord  shall  make  ruler 
over  his  household,  to  give  them 
their  portion  of  meat  in  due  season  ? 

43  Blessed  is  that  servant,  whom 
his  lord  when  he  cometh  shall  find 
so  doing. 

44  ”Of  a truth  I say  unto  you, 
that  he  will  make  him  ruler  over 
all  that  he  hath. 

45  “But  and  if  that  servant  say 
in  his  heart.  My  lord  delayeth  his 
coming ; and  shall  begin  to  beat 
the  menservants  and  maidens,  and 
to  eat  and  drink,  and  to  be  drunken ; 

46  The  lord  of  that  servant  will 
come  in  a day  when  he  looketh 
not  for  him,  and  at  an  hour  when 
he  is  not  aware,  and  will  ^ cut  him 
in  sunder,  and  will  appoint  him 
his  portion  with  the  unbelievers. 

47  Ajid  «that  servant,  which  knew 
his  lord’s  will,  and  prepared  not 
himself,  neither  did  according  to 
his  will,  shall  be  beaten  with  many 
stripes. 

48  *But  he  that  knew  noL  and  did 
commit  things  worthy  or  stripes, 
shall  be  beaten  wdth  few  stripes. 
For  unto  whomsoever  much  is

given,  of  him  shall  be  much  re- 
quired: and  to  whom  men  have 
committed  much,  of  him  they  will 
ask  the  more. 

49  II  “I  am  come  to  send  fire  on 
the  earth ; and  what  will  I,  if  it  be 
already  kindled  % 

50  But  ® I have  a baptism  to  be 
baptized  with ; and  now  am  I 
^ straitened  till  it  be  accomplished  ! 

51  “^Suppose  ye  that  I am  come  to

Nay ; * but  rather  division  : 

52  -^For  from  henceforth  there 
shall  be  five  in  one  house  divided,

53  The  father  shall  be  divided

the  mother ; the  mother  in  law  a- 
gainst  her  daughter  in  law,  and  the 
daughter  in  law  against  her  mother

54  U And  he  said  also  to  the  peo- 
ple, ^ When  ye  see  a cloud  rise  out 
of  the  west,  straightway  ye  say. 
There  cometh  a shower ; and  so  it  is.

heat ; and  it  cometh  to  pass. 

56  Ye  h^ocrites,  ye  can  discern

but  how  is  it  that  ye  do  not  discern

57  Yea,  and  why  even  of  your- 
selves judge  ye  not  what  is  rights

art  in  the  way,  give  diligence  that 
thou  mayest  be  delivered  from  him ; 
lest  he  hale  thee  to  the  judge,  and 
the  judge  deliver  thee  to  the  officer, 
and  the  officer  cast  thee  into  prison.

CHAPTER  13. 


1 Christ  preacheth  repentance.  6 The  fruitless  fig  tree. 
11  Christ  healeth  the  crooked  woman.  18  Parable  of 
the  grain  of  mustard  seed,  and  of  leaven.  24  He  ex- 
horteth  to  enter  in  at  the  strait  gate,  31  and  reproveth 
Herod  and  Jerusalem, 


There  were  present  at  that  sea- 
son some  that  told  him  of  the 
Gal-i-l*-an§,  whose  blood  Pidate 
had  mingled  with  their  sacrifices. 
2 And  Je-stis  answering  said  unto 
them.  Suppose  ye  that  these  Gal-i- 
Ise-ans  were  sinners  above  all  the 
Gal-i-lae-ans,  because  they  suffered 
such  things  1 

3 I tell  you,  Nay : but,  except  ye 
repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise  perish. 
4 Or  those  eighteen,  upon  whom 
the  tower  in  Si-lo-am  fell,  and  slew 


PMat.  13.  31. 
Mark  4 30. 


them,  think  ye  that  they  were  ^ sin- 
ners above  all  men  that  dwelt  in 
Je-ru-sa-l6m  1 

5 I tell  you.  Nay : but,  except  ye 
repenk  ye  shall  all  likewise  perish. 

6 U He  spake  also  this  paraole;  *A 
certain  man  had  a fig  tree  planted 
in  his  vineyard  ; and  he  came  and 
sought  fruit  thereon,  and  found 
none. 

7 Then  said  he  unto  the  dresser 
of  his  vineyard.  Behold,  these  three 
years  I come  seeking  fruit  on  this 
fig  tree,  and  find  none:  cut  it  down; 
why  cumbereth  it  the  ground  % 

8 And  he  answering  said  unto  him. 
Lord,  let  it  alone  this  year  also,  till 
I shall  dig  about  it,  and  dung  it : 

9 And  if  it  bear  fruit,  well : and  if 
not,  then  after  that  thou  shalt  cut  it 
down. 

10  And  he  was  teaching  in  one  of 
the  synagogues  on  the  sabbath. 

1 1 H And,  behold,  there  was  a wo- 
rnan  which  had  a spirit  of  infirmity 
eighteen  years,  and  was  bowed  to- 
gether, and  could  in  no  wise  lift  up 
herself. 

12  And  when  Je-sus  saw  her,  he 
called  her  to  him.,  and  said  unto 
her.  Woman,  thou  art  loosed  from 
thine  infirmity. 

13  ^And  he  laid  his  hands  on  her  : 
and  immediately  she  was  made 
straight,  and  glorified  God. 

14  And  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue 
answered  with  indignation,  because 
that  J e-sus  had  healed  on  the  sab- 
bath day,  and  said  unto  the  people, 
^ There  are  six  days  in  whi<m  men 
ought  to  work : in  them  therefore 
come  and  be  healed,  and  ""not  on 
the  sabbath  day. 

15  The  Lord  then  answered  him, 
and  said.  Thou  hypocrite,  ”doth  not 
each  one  of  you  on  the  sabbath  loose 
his  ox  or  his  ass  from  the  stall,  and 
lead  him  away  to  watering  1 

16  And  ought  not  this  woman, 
"being  a daughter  of  A-bra-ham, 
whom  Sa-tan  hath  bound,  lo,  these 
eighteen  vears,  be  loosed  from  this 
bond  on  the  sabbath  day  % 

17  And  when  he  had  said  these 
things,  all  his  adversaries  were  a- 
shamed : and  all  the  people  rejoiced 
for  all  the  glorious  things  that  were 
done  by  him. 

18  II  ^Then  said  he.  Unto  what 
is  the  kingdom  of  God  like'?  and 
whereunto  shall  I resemble  if? 

19  It  is  like  a grain  of  mustard 
seed,  which  a man  took,  and  cast 
into  his  garden ; and  it  grew,  and 
waxed  a great  tree  ; and  the  fowls 
of  the  air  lodged  in  the  branches 
of  it.

The  strait  gate.

Christ  teacheth  humility^ 


20  And  again  he  said,  Whereunto 
shall  I liken  the  kingdom  of  God  1 

21  It  is  like  leaven,  which  a wo- 
man took  and  hid  in  three  ^ meas- 
ures of  meal,  till  the  whole  was 
leavened. 

22  * And  he  went  through  the  cities 
and  villages,  teaching,  and  journey- 
ing toward  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

23  Then  said  one  unto  him.  Lord, 
are  there  few  that  be  saved  % And 
he  said  unto  them, 

24  U ‘'Strive  to  enter  in  at  the 
strait  gate : for  ‘^many,  I say  unto 
you,  will  seek  to  enter  in,  and  shall 
not  be  able. 

25  ‘'When  once  the  master  of  the 
house  is  risen  up,  and  {hath  shut 
to  the  door,  and  ye  begin  to  stand 
without,  and  to  knock  at  the  door, 
saying,  ^Lord,  Lord,  open  unto  us  ; 
and  he  shall  answer  and  say  unto 
you,  G know  you  not  whence  ye 
are : 

26  Then  shall  ye  begin  to  say,  We 
have  eaten  and  drunk  in  thy  pres- 
ence, and  thou  hast  taught  in  our 
streets 

27  ^But  he  shall  say,  I tell  you,  I 
know  you  not  whence  ye  are  ; ^de- 
part from  me,  all  ye  workers  of 
iniquity. 

28  ” There  shall  be  weeping  and 
gnashing  of  teeth,  ‘'when  ye  shall 
see  A-bra-ham,  and  I-saac,  and  Ja- 
eOb,  and  all  the  prophets,  in  the 
kingdom  of  God,  and  you  yourselves 
thrust  out. 

29  And  they  shall  come  from  the 
east,  and  from  the  west,  and  from 
the  north,  and  from  the  south,  and 
shall  sit  down  in  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

30  ^And,  behold,  there  are  last 
which  shall  be  first,  and  there  are 
first  which  shall  be  last. 

31  IT  The  same  day  there  came 
certain  of  the  Phar^l-sees,  saying 
unto  him,  Get  thee  out,  and  depart 
hence : for  H6r-5d  will  kill  thee. 

32  And  he  said  unto  them.  Go  ye, 
and  tell  that  fox,  Behold,  I cast  out 
devils,  and  I do  cures  to  day  and  to 
morrow,  and  the  third  day  U shall 
be  perfected. 

33  Nevertheless  I must  walk  to 
day,  and  to  morrow,  and  the  day 
following : for  it  cannot  be  that  a 
prophet  perish  9ut  of  Je-^ru-sadem. 

34  *0  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  Je-ru-sa-l6m, 
which  killest  the  prophets,  and 
stonest  them  that  are  sent  unto 
thee ; how  often  would  I have 
gathered  thy  children  together,  as 
a hen  doth  gather  her  brood  under 
her  wings,  and  ye  would  not !

AND  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  went 
XX  into  the  house  of  one  of  the 
chief  Phard-sees  to  eat  bread  on 
the  sabbath  day,  that  they  watched 
him. 

2 And,  behold,  there  was  a cer- 
tain man  before  him  which  had  the 
dropsy. 

3 And  Je-sus  answering  spake  unto 
the  lawyers  and  Phard-see§,  saying, 
'‘Is  it  lawful  to  heal  on  the  sabbath 
dayl 

4 And  they  held  their  peace.  And 
he  took  him,  and  healed  him,  and 
let  him  go; 

5 And  answered  them,  saying, 
* Which  of  you  shall  have  an  ass 
or  an  ox  fallen  into  a pit,  and  will 
not  straightway  pull  him  out  on 
the  sabbath  dayl 

6 And  they  could  not  answer  him 
again  to  these  things. 

7 IT  And  he  put  forth  a parable 
to  those  which  were  bidden,  when 
he  marked  how  they  chose  out  the 
chief  rooms  ; saying  unto  them, 

8 When  thou  art  bidden  of  any 
man  to  a wedding,  sit  not  down 
in  the  highest  room ; lest  a more 
honourable  man  than  thou  be  bid- 
den of  him ; 

9 And  he  that  bade  thee  and  him 
come  and  say  to  thee.  Give  this 
man  place ; and  thou  begin  with 
shame  to  take  the  lowest  room. 

10  ^But  when  thou  art  bidden,  go 
and  sit  down  in  the  lowest  room; 
that  when  he  that  bade  thee  com- 
eth, he  may  say  unto  thee.  Friend, 
go  up  higher : then  shalt  thou  have 
worship  in  the  presence  of  them 
that  sit  at  meat  with  thee. 

11  ''For  whosoever  exalteth  him- 
self shall  be  abased ; and  he  that 
humbleth  himself  shall  be  exalted. 

12  ^ Then  said  he  also  to  him 
that  bade  him.  When  thou  makest 
a dinner  or  a supper,  call  not  thy 
friends,  nor  thy  brethren,  neither 
thy  kinsmen,  nor  thy  rich  neigh- 
bours ; lest  they  also  bid  thee  again, 
and  a recompence  be  made  thee. 

1 3 But  when  thou  makest  a feast, 
call  “the  poor,  the  maimed,  the 
lame,  the  blind : 

14  And  thou  shalt  be  blessed ; for 
they  cannot  recompense  thee;  for 


Varable  of  the  great  supper. St.  LUKE, 


15. 


Parable  of  the  lost  sheep* 


thou  shalt  be  recompensed  at  the 

resurrection  of  the  just. 

15  H And  when  one  of  them  that 

sat  at  meat  with  him  heard  these 
things,  he  said  unto  him,  “Blessed 
is  he  that  shall  eat  bread  in  the 
kingdom  of  God.  , 

16  ^’Then  said  he  unto  him,  A cer- 
tain man  made  a great  supper,  and 
bade  many : 

17  And  ‘'sent  his  servant  at  sup- 
per time  to  say  to  them  that  were 
bidden.  Come ; for  all  things  are 
now  ready.  „ 

18  And  they  all  with  one  consent 
began  to  make  excuse.  The  first 
said  unto  him,  I have  bought  a 
piece  of  ground,  and  I must  needs 
go  and  see  it : I pray  thee  have  me 
©xciiscd. 

1 9 And  another  said,  I have  bought 
five  yoke  of  oxen,  and  I go  to  prove 
them : I pray  thee  have  me  excused. 

20  And  another-  said,  I have  mar- 

ried a wife,  and  therefore  I cannot 
come.  j 

21  So  that  servant  came,  and 

shewed  his  lord  these  things.  Then 
the  master  of  the  house  being  angry 
said  to  his  servant.  Go  out  quickly 
into  the  streets  and  lanes  of  the 
city,  and  bring  in  hither  the  poor, 
ana  the  maimed,  and  the  halt,  and 
the  blind.  _ ^ 

22  And  the  servant  said.  Lord,  it 
is  done  as  thou  hast  commanded, 
and  yet  there  is  room. 

23  And  the  lord  said  unto  the  serv- 
ant, Go  out  into  the  highways  and 
hedges,  and  compel  them  to  come 
in,  that  my  house  may  ^ filled. 

24  For  I say  unto  you,  ^ That  none

shall  taste  of  my  supper.  . 

25  H And  there  went  great  multi- 
tudes with  him : and  he  turned,  and 
said  unto  them,

the  foundation,  and  is  not  able  to 
finish  it,  all  that  behold  it  begin  to 
mock  him,

CHAPTER  15. 

1 The  paralle  of  the  lost  sheep:  8 of  the  piece  of  silver: 

11  of  the  prodigal  son. 

Then  ®drew  near  unto  him  all 
the  publicans  and  sinners  for 
to  hear  him. 

2  And  the  Phar-i-sees  and  scribes 
murmured,  saying,  This  man  r^ 
ceiveth  sinners,  -^and  eateth  with 
them.  , , . , , 

3  H And  he  spake  this  parable 
unto  them,  saying, 

4  i'What  man  of  you,  having  an 
hundred  sheep,  if  ne  lose  one  of 
them,  doth  not  leave  the  ninety  and 
nine  in  the  wilderness,  and  go  after 
that  which  is  lost,  until  he  find  it  s 
5 And  when  he  hath  found  it^  he 
layeth  It  on  his  shoulders,  rejoicing. 
6 And  when  he  cometh  home,  he 
calleth  together  his  friends  ^d 
neighbours,  saying  unto  them.  Re- 
joice with  me  ; for  I have  found  my 
sheep  ‘which  was  lost. 

7  I say  unto  you,  that  likewise  joy 
shall  be  in  heaven  over  one  sinner 
that  repenteth,  ^ more  than  oyer 
ninety  and  nine  just  persons,  which 
need  no  repentance. 

8  Either  what  woman  having 
ten  ^ pieces  of  silver,  if  she  lose  one 
piece,  doth  not  light  a candle,  and 
sweep  the  house,  and  seek  diligently 
till  she  find  it?  • i 

9  And  when  she  hath  found  she 
calleth  her  friends  and  her  neigl^ 
hours  together,  saying.  Rejoice  with 
me ; for  I have  found  the  piece 
which  I had  lost. 

10  Likewise,  I say  unto  you,  there 
is  joy  in  the  presence  of  the  angels 
of  God  over  one  sinner  that  re- 
penteth. 

11  U And  he  said,  A certain  man 
had  two  sons ; 

12  And  the  younger  of  them  said 
to  his  father.  Father,  giy^e  me  the 
portion  of  goods  that  falleth  to

and  of  the  unjust  steward. 


me.  And  he  divided  unto  them 
living. 

13  And  not  many  days  after  the 
younger  son  gathered  all  together, 
and  took  his  journey  into  a far 
country,  and  there  wasted  his  sub- 
stance with  riotous  living. 

14  And  when  he  had  spent  all, 
there  arose  a mighty  famine  in  that 
land  ; and  he  began  to  be  in  want. 

15  And  he  went  and  joined  him- 
self to  a citizen  of  that  country ; 
and  he  sent  him  into  his  fields  to 
feed  swine. 

16  And  he  would  fain  have  filled 
his  belly  with  the  husks  that  the 
swine  did  eat:  and  no  man  gave 
unto  him. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  himself, 
he  said,  How  many  hired  servants 
of  my  father’s  have  bread  enough 
and  to  spare,  and  I perish  with 
hunger ! 

181  will  arise  and  go  to  my  father, 
and  will  say  unto  him.  Father,  I 
have  sinned  against  heaven,  and 
before  thee, 

1 9 And  am  no  more  worthy  to  be 
called  thy  son : make  me  as  one  of 
thy  hired  servants. 

20  And  he  arose,  and  came  to  his 
father.  But  '"when  he  was  yet  a 
great  way  off,  his  father  saw  him, 
and  had  compassion,  and  ran,  and 
fell  on  his  neck,  and  kissed  him. 

21  And  the  son  said  unto  him. 
Father,  I have  sinned  against  heav- 
en, ‘^and  in  thy  sight,  and  am  no 
more  worthy  to  be  called  thy  son. 

22  But  the  father  said  to  his  serv- 
ants, Bring  forth  the  best  robe,  and 

Eut  it  on  him;  and  put  a ring  on 
is  hand,  and  shoes  on  his  feet : 

23  And  bring  hither  the  fatted 
calf,  and  kill  it ; and  let  us  eat,  and 
be  merry : 

24  ® For  this  my  son  was  dead,  and 
is  alive  again ; he  was  lost,  and  is 
found.  And  they  began  to  be 
merry. 

25  Now  his  elder  son  was  in  the 
field : and  as  he  came  and  drew 
nigh  to  the  house,  he  heard  musick 
and  dancing. 

26  And  he  called  one  of  the  serv- 
ants, and  asked  what  these  things 
meant. 

27  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thy  bro- 
ther is  come ; and  thy  father  hath 
killed  the  fatted  calf,  because  he 
hath  received  him  safe  and  sound. 

28  And  he  was  angry,  and  would 
not  go  in  : therefore  came  his  father 
out,  and  intreated  him. 

29  And  he  answering  said  to  his 
father,  Lo,  these  many  years  do  I 
serve  thee,  neither  transgressed  I

CHAPTEB  16. 

1 TTie  parable  of  the  unjust  steward.  14  Christ  reproveth 

the  hypocrisy  of  the  covetous  Pharisees.  19  The  rich 

glutton,  and  Lazarus  the  beggar. 

AND  he  said  also  unto  his  disci- 
pies.  There  was  a certain  rich 
man,  which  had  a steward ; and 
the  same  was  accused  unto  him 
that  he  had  wasted  his  goods. 

2 And  he  called  him,  and  said 
unto  him.  How  is  it  that  I hear 
this  of  thee*?  give  an  account  of 
thy  stewardship ; for  thou  mayest 
be  no  longer  steward. 

3 Then  the  steward  said  within 
himself.  What  shall  I do?  for  my 
lord  taketh  away  frorn  me  the 
stewardship : I cannot  dig ; to  beg 
I am  ashamed. 

4 I am  resolved  what  to  do,  that, 
when  I am  put  out  of  the  steward- 
ship, they  may  receive  me  into  their 
houses. 

5 So  he  called  every  one  of  his 
lord’s  debtors  unto  him,  and  said 
unto  the  first.  How  much  owest 
thou  unto  my  lordi 

6 And  he  said.  An  hundred  ^meas- 
ures of  oil.  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Take  thy  bill,  and  sit  down  quickly, 
and  write  fifty. 

7 Then  said  he  to  another.  And 
how  much  owest  thoul  And  he 
said,  An  hundred  ^measures  ^ of 
wheat.  And  he  said  unto  him, 
Take  thy  bill,  and  write  fourscore. 

8 And  the  lord  commended  the 
unjust  steward,  because  he  had  done 
wisely : for  the  children  of  this 
world  are  in  their  generation  wiser 
than  -^the  children  of  light. 

9 And  I say  unto  you,  s' Make  to 
yourselves  friends  of  the  ® mam- 
mon of  unrighteousness ; that,  when 
ye  fail,  they  may  receive  you  into 
everlasting  habitations. 

10  ^He  that  is  faithful  in  that 
which  is  least  is  faithful  also  in 
much  : and  he  that  is  unjust  in  the 
least  is  unjust  also  in  much.

faithful  in  the  unrighteous  ‘‘mam-

mon,  who  will  ^ commit  to  your 
trust  the  true  riches 'i  , 

12  And  if  ye  have  not  been  faith- 
ful in  that  which  is  another  man’s, 
who  shall  give  you  that  which  is 
your  own 

13  U “No  servant  can  serve  two 
masters  : for  either  he  will  hate  the 
one,  and  love  the  other ; or  else  he 
will  hold  to  the  one,  and  despise 
the  other.  Ye  cannot  serve  God 
and  mammon. 

14  And  the  Phar-i-sees  also,  ‘’who 
were  covetous,  heard  all  these 
things ; and  they  derided  him. 

15  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  are 
they  which  justify  yourselves  be- 
fore men ; but  ®God  knoweth  your 
hearts : for  -^that  which  is  highly 
esteemed  among  men  is  abomina- 
tion in  the  sight  of  God. 

16  '‘The  law  and  the  prophets  were 
until  J5hn:  since  that  time  the 
kingdom  of  God  is  preached,  and 
every  man  presseth  into  it. 

17  ‘And  it  is  easier  for  heaven  and 
earth  to  pass,  than  one  tittle  of  the 
law  to  fail. 

18  'Whosoever  putteth  away  his 
wife,  and  marrieth  another,  com- 
mitteth  adultery:  and  whosoever 
marrieth  her  that  is  put  away  from 
her  husband  committeth  adultery. 

191]  There  was  a certain  rich  man, 
which  was  clothed  in  purple  and 
fine  linen,  and  fared  sumptuously 
every  day : 

20  And  there  was  a certain  beggar 
named  Laz-a-rtis,  which  was  laid  at 
his  gate,  full  of  sores, 

21  And  desiring  to  be  fed  with  the 
crumbs  which  fell  from  the  rich 
man’s  table ; moreover  the  dogs 
came  and  licked  his  sores. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  the 
beggar  died,  and  was  carried  by 
the  angels  into  A-bra-ham’s  bosom : 
the  rich  man  also  died,  and  was 
buried ; 

23  And  in  hell  he  lift  up  his  eyes, 
being  in  torments,  and  seeth  A-bra- 
ham  afar  off,  and  Laz-a-rus  in  his 
bosom. 

24  And  he  cried  and  said.  Father 
A-bra-ham,  have  mercy  on  me,  and 
send  Laz-a-rus,  that  he  may  dip  the 
tip  of  his  finger  in  water,  and  ^cool 
my  tongue ; for  I ^am  tormented  in 
this  flame._ 

25  But  A-brS-ham  said.  Son,  *re- 
member  that  thou  in  thy  lifetime 
receivedst  thy  good  things,  and 
likewise  Laz-^-riis  evil  things : but 
now  he  is  comforted,  and  thou  art 
tormented. 

26  And  beside  all  this,  between  us 
and  you  there  is  a great  gulf  fixed :

27  Then  he  said,  I pray  thee  there- 
fore, father,  that  thou  wouldest 
send  him  to  my  father’s  house : 

28  For  I have  five  brethren  ; that 
he  may  testify  unto  them,  lest  they

CHAPTER  17.  • 

1 Christ  teacheth  to  avoid  occasions  of  offence.  3 One  to 
forgive  another.  6 The  power  of  faith.  11  He  healeth 
ten  lepers.  22  Of  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  the  coming 
of  the  Son  of  man. 

Then  said  he  unto  the  disciples, 
*It  is  impossible  but  that  of- 
fences will  come : but  woe  unto  him., 
through  whom  they  come  ! 

2  It  were  better  for  him  that  a 
millstone  were  hanged  about  his 
neck,  and  he  cast  into  the  sea,  than 
that  he  should  offend  one  of  these 
little  ones. 

3  ^ Take  heed  to  yourselves : ‘”If 
thy  brother  trespass  against  thee, 
“rebuke  him ; and  if  he  repent,  for- 
give him. 

4  And  if  he  trespass  against  thee 
seven  times  in  a day,  and  seven 
times  in  a day  turn  again  to  thee, 
sayingj  I repent ; thou  shalt  for- 
give him. 

5  And  the  apostles  said  unto  the 
Lord,  Increase  our  faith. 

6  ‘’And  the  Lord  said.  If  ye  had 
faith  as  a grain  of  mustard  seed,  ye 
might  say  unto  this  sycamine  tree. 
Be  thou  plucked  up  by  the  root, 
and  be  thou  planted  in  the  sea; 
and  it  should  obey  you. 

7  But  which  of  you,  having  a serv- 
ant plowing  or  feeding  cattle,  will 
say  unto  him  by  and  by,  when  he 
is  come  from  the  field.  Go  and  sit 
down  to  meat  1 

8  And  will  not  rather  say  unto 
him.  Make  ready  wherewith  I may 
sup,  and  gird  thyself,  ‘‘and  serve 
me,  till  I have  eaten  and  drunken  ; 
and  afterward  thou  shalt  eat  and 
drink  % 

9  Doth  he  thank  that  servant  be- 
cause he  did  the  things  that  were 
commanded  him  1 I trow  not. 

10  So  likewise  ye,  when  ye  shall 
have  done  all  those  things  which

are  commanded  you,  say.  We  are 
“unprofitable  servants:  we  have 
done  that  which  was  our  duty  to 
do. 

11  U And  it  came  to  pass,  ‘'as  he 
went  to  Je-ru-sa-lem,  that  he  passed 
through  the  midst  of  Sa-ma-ri-a  and 
Gal-i-lee. 

1 2 And  as  he  entered  into  a certain 
village,  there  met  him  ten  men  that 
were  lepers,  ^ which  stood  afar  qlf : 

1 3 And  they  lifted  up  their  voices, 
and  said,  Je-sus,  Master,  have  mercy 
on  us. 

14  And  when  he  saw  them,  he  said 
unto  them,  /‘Go  shew  yourselves 
unto  the  priests.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  that,  as  they  went,  they  were 
cleansed. 

15  And  one  of  them,  when  he  saw 
that  he  was  healed,  turned  back, 
and  with  a loud  voice  glorified  God, 

16  And  fell  down  on  his  face  at 
his  feet,  giving  him  thanks:  and 
he  was  a Sa-mar-i-tan. 

17  And  Je-stis  answering  said. 
Were  there  not  ten  cleansed  1 but 
where  are  the  nine'? 

18  There  are  not  found  that  re- 
turned to  give  glory  to  God,  save 
this  stranger. 

19  ”"And  he  said  unto  him.  Arise, 
go  thy  way : thy  faith  hath  made 
thee  whole. 

20  IT  And  when  he  was  demanded 
of  thePhar-i-sees,  when  the  kingdom 
of  God  should  come,  he  answered 
them  and  said.  The  kingdom  of  God 
cometh  not  ^with  observation : 

21  ” Neither  shall  they  say,  Lo 
here!  or,  lo  there  1 for,  behold,  "the 
kingdom  of  God  is  ^within  you. 

22  And  he  said  unto  the  disciples, 
« The  days  will  come,  when  ye  shall 
desire  to  see  one  of  the  days  of  the 
Son  of  man,  and  ye  shall  not  see  it. 

23  ^'And  they  shall  say  to  you.  See 
here;  or,  see  there:  go  not  after 
them,TLOV  follow  them. 

24  *For  as  the  lightning,  that  light- 
eneth  out  of  the  one  part  under 
heaven,  shineth  unto  the  other  part 
under  heaven;  so  shall  also  the  Son 
of  man  be  in  his  day. 

25  “But  first  must  he  suffer  many 
things,  and  be  rejected  of  this  gen- 
eration. 

26  * And  as  it  was  in  the  days  of 
No-g,  so  shall  it  be  also  in  the  days 
of  the  Son  of  man. 

27  They  did  eat,  they  drank,  they 
married  wives,  they  were  given  in 
marriage,  until  the  day  that  No-g 
entered  into  the  ark,  and  the  flood 
came,  and  destroyed  them  all.

them  to  this  end,  that  men 
ought  ^always  to  pray,  and  not  to 
faint ; 

2 Saying,  There  was  '‘in  a city  a 
judge,  which  feared  not  God,  nei- 
ther regarded  man: 

3 And  there  was  a widow  in  that 
city ; and  she  came  unto  him,  say- 
ing, Avenge  me  of  mine  adversary. 

4 And  he  would  not  for  a while : 
but  afterward  he  said  within  him- 
self, Though  I fear  not  God,  nor 
regard  man; 

5 *Yet  because  this  widow  trou- 
bleth  me,  I will  avenge  her,  lest 
by  her  continual  coming  she  weary 

HIG. 

6 And  the  Lord  said,  Hear  what 
the  unjust  judge  saith. 

7 And  y shall  not  God  avenge  his 
own  elect,  which  cry  day  and  night 
unto  him,  though  he  bear  long  with 
them"? 

8 I tell  you  Hhat  he  will  avenge 
them  speedily.  Nevertheless  when 
the  Son  of  man  cometh,  shall  he 
find  faith  on  the  earth*?

selves Hhat  they  were  righteous, 
and  despised  others;  . 

10  Two  men  went  up  into  the 
temple  to  pray ; the  one  a Phar-i- 
see,  and  the  other  a publican. 

1 1 ThePhar-i-see  stood  and  prayed 

thus  with  himself,  ‘^God,  I thank 
thee,  that  I am  not  as  other  men 
are,  extortioners,  unjust,  adulterers, 
or  even  as  this  publican.  . 

12  1 fast  twice  in  the  week,  I give 
tithes  of  all  that  I possess. 

13  And  the  publican,  standing  afar 
off,  would  not  lift  up  so  much  as  his 
eyes  unto  heaven,  but  smote  upon 
his  breast,  saying,  God  be  merciful 
to  me  a sinner. 

14  1 tell  you,  this  mar  went  down 
to  his  house  justified  rather  than 
the  other  : ’ for  every  one  that  ex- 
alteth  himself  shall  be  abased ; and 
he  that  humbleth  himself  shall  be 
exalted. 

15  *And  they  brought  unto  him 
also  infants,  that  he  would  touch 
them : but  when  his  disciples  saw 
it,  they  rebuked  them. 

16  But  Je-stis  called  them  unto 
him,  and  said.  Suffer  little  chil- 
dren to  come  unto  me,  and  forbid 
them  not : for  ”of  such  is  the  king- 
dom of  God. 

17  ^Verily  I say  unto  you.  Whoso- 
ever shall  not  receive  the  kingdom 
of  God  as  a little  child  shall  in  no 
wise  enter  therein. 

18  ’"And  a certain  ruler  asked  him, 
saying.  Good  Master,  what  shall  I 
do  to  inherit  eternal  life! 

19  And  Je-sus  said  unto  him.  Why 
callest  thou  me  good  % none  is  good, 
save  one,  that  is,  God. 

20  Thou  knowest  the  command- 
ments, *Do  not  commit  adultery.  Do 
not  kill.  Do  not  steal.  Do  not  bear 
false  witness,  ^Honour  thy  father 
and  thy  mother. 

21  And  he  said.  All  these  have  I 
kept  from  my  youth  up. 

22  Now  when  Je-§us  heard  these 
things,  he  said  unto  him,  Yet  lack- 
est  thou  one  thing : “sell  all  that 
thou  hast,  and  distribute  unto  the 
poor,  and  thou  shalt  have  treas- 
ure in  heaven : and  come,  follow 

me.  1 , . 

23  And  when  he  heard  this,  he 
was  very  sorrowful : for  he  was 
very  rich. 

24  And  when  Je-sus  saw  that 
he  was  very  sorrowful,  he  said, 

J'How  hardly  shall  they  that  have 
riches  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
God!  .

are  impossible  with  men  are  pos-

30  ^Who  shall  not  receive  mani- 
fold more  in  this  present  time, 
and  in  the  world  to  come  life  ever- 
lasting. 

31  U '"Then  he  took  unto  him  the 
twelve,  and  said  unto  them.  Behold, 
we  go  up  to  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  all 
things  *that  are  written  by  the  pro- 
phets concerning  the  Son  of  man 
shall  be  accomplished. 

32  For  ""he  shall  be  delivered  unto 
the  G6n-tiles,  and  shall  be  mocked, 
and  spitefully  entreated,  and  spit- 
ted on  : 

33  And  they  shall  scourge  him. 
and  put  him  to  death : and  the  third 
day  be  shall  rise  again. 

34  "And  they  understood  none  of 
these  things : and  this  saying  was 
hid  from  tbem,  neither  knew  they 
the  things  which  were  spoken. 

35  II « And  it  came  to  pass,^  that  as 
he  was  come  nigh  unto  J6r-i-cho,  a 
certain  blind  man  sat  by  the  way 
side  begging : 

36  And  hearing  the  multitude  pass 
by,  he  asked  what  it  meant. 

37  And  they  told  him,  that  Je-sus 
of  Naz-a-r6th  passeth  by. 

38  And  he  cried,  saying,  Je-sus, 
thou  son  of  Da-vid,  have  mercy  on 
me. 

39  And  they  which  went  before 
rebuked  him,  that  he  should  hold 
his  peace:  but  he  cried  so  much 
tbe  more.  Thou  son  of  Da-vid,  have 
mercy  on  me. 

40  And  Je-§us  stood,  and  com- 
manded him  to  be  brought  unto 
him : and  when  he  was  come  near, 
he  asked  him, 

41  Saying,  What  wilt  thou  that 
I shall  do  unto  thee  % And  he 
said.  Lord,  that  I may  receive  my 
sight. 

42  And  Je-sus  said  unto  him.  Re- 
ceive tby  sight:  *thy  faith  hath 
saved  thee. 

43  And  immediately  he  received 
his  sight,  and  followed  him,  ^glorb 
fying  God : and  all  the  people, 
when  they  saw  it,  gave  praise  un- 
to God.

CHAPTER  19. 

1 Of  Zacchteus  a publican.  11  The  ten  pieces  of  money. 

28  Christ  rideth  into  Jerusalem:  41  weepeth  over  U: 

45  driveth  the  buyers  and  sellers  oat  of  the  temple; 

47  teaching  daily  in  it.  The  rulers  would  destroy  him, 

hut  fear  the  people. 

AND  Je-sus  entered  and  passed 
through  Jer4-eho. 

2 And,  behold,  there  was  a man 
named  Zae-ehse-us,  which  was  the 
chief  among  the  publicans,  and  he 
was  rich. 

3 And  he  sought  to  see  Je-§us 
who  he  was ; and  could  not  for 
the  press,  because  he  was  little  of 
stature. 

4 And  he  ran  before,  and  climbed 
up  into  a sycomore  tree  to  see  him : 
for  he  was  to  pass  that  way. 

5 And  when  Je-sus  came  to  the 
place,  he  looked  up,  and  saw  him, 
and  said  untohim,  Zac-chse-us,  make 
haste,  and  come  down ; for  to  day  I 
must  abide  at  thy  house. 

6 And  he  made  haste,  and  came 
down,  and  received  him  joyfully. 

7 And  when  they  saw  it,  they  all 
murmured,  saying, /That  he  was 
gone  to  be  guest  with  a man  that 
IS  a sinner. 

8 And  Zac-chse-iis  stood,  and  said 
unto  the  Lord ; Behold,  Lord,  the 
half  of  my  goods  I give  to  the 
poor ; and  if  I have  taken  any  thing 
from  any  man  by  -^false  accusation, 
^ I restore  him  fourfold. 

9 And  Je-sus  said  unto  him.  This 
day  is  salvation  come  to  this  bouse, 
forsomuch  as  *he  also  is  *a  son  of 
A-bra-ham. 

10  ^For  the  Son  of  man  is  come  to 
seek  and  to  save  that  which  was  lost. 
, 1 1 And  as  they  heard  these  things, 
he  added  and  spake  a parable,  be- 
cause he  was  nigh  to  Je-ru-sa-lem, 
and  because  "‘they  thought  that  the 
kingdom  of  God  should  immedi- 
ately appear. 

12  ‘’He  said  therefore,  A certain 
nobleman  went  into  a far  country 
to  receive  for  himself  a kingdom, 
and  to  return. 

1 3 And  he  called  his  ten  servants, 
and  delivered  them  ten  ^pounds,  and 
said  unto  them.  Occupy  till  I come. 

14  «But  his  citizens  hated  him, 
and  sent  a message  after  him,  say- 
ing, We  will  not  have  this  man  to 
reign  over  us. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
he  was  returned,  having  received 
the  kingdom,  then  he  commanded 
these  servants  to  be  called  unto 
him,  to  whom  he  had  given  tbe 
^ money,  that  he  might  know  how 
much  every  man  had  gained  by 
trading. 

16  Then  came  the  first,  saying.

Lord,  thy  pound  hath  gained  ten

17  And  he  said  unto  him.  Well, 
thou  good  servant : because  thou 
hast  been  “ faithful  in  a very  little, 
have  thou  authority  over  ten  cities. 

18  And  the  second  came,  saying. 
Lord,  thy  pound  hath  gained  five 
pounds. 

19  And  he  said  likewise  to  him. 
Be  thou  also  over  five  cities. 

20  And  another  came,  saying. 
Lord,  behold,  here  is  thy  pound, 
which  I have  kept  laid  up  in  a 
napkin : 

21  *For  I feared  thee,  because  thou 
art  an  austere  man ; thou  takest  up 
that  thou  layedst  not  down,  and 
reapest  that  thou  didst  not  sow. 

22  And  he  saith  unto  him.  ‘’Out  of 
thine  own  mouth  will  I judge  thee, 

wicked  servant.  ‘'Thou  knewest 
that  I was  an  austere  man,  taking 
up  that  I laid  not  down,  and  reap- 
ing that  I did  not  sow : 

23  Wherefore  then  gavest  not  thou 
my  money  into  the  bank,  that  at 
my  coming  I might  have  required 
mine  own  with  usury  1 

24  And  he  said  unto  them  that 
stood  by,  Take  from  him  the  pound, 
and  give  it  to  him  that  hath  ten 
pounds. 

25  (And  they  said  unto  him.  Lord, 
he  hath  ten  pounds.) 

26  For  I sajr  unto  you,  '‘That  unto 
every  one  which  hath  shall  be  given ; 
and  from  him  that  hath  not,  even 
that  he  hath  shall  be  taken  away 
from  him. 

27  But  those  mine  enemies,  which 
would  not  that  I should  reign  over 
them,  bring  hither,  and  slay  them 
before  me. 

28  IT  And  when  he  had  thus  spo- 
ken, ”he  went  before,  ascending  up 
to  Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

29  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
was  come  nigh  to  B6th-pba-ge  and 
Beth-a-ny,  at  the  mount  called  the 
mount  of  01-ive§,  he  sent  two  of  his 
disciples, 

30  Saying,  Go  ye  into  the  village 
over  against  you;  in  the  which  at 
your  entering  ye  shall  find  a colt 
tied,  whereon  yet  never  man  sat : 
loose  him,  and  bring  him  hither. 

31  And  if  any  man  ask  you.  Why 
do  ye  loose  him  ? thus  shall  ye  say 
unto  him,  Because  the  Lord  hath 
need  of  him. 

32  And  they  that  were  sent  went 
their  way,  and  found  even  as  he  had 
said  unto  them. 

33  And  as  they  were  loosing  the 
colt,  the  owners  thereof  said  unto 
them.  Why  loose  ye  the  coltl

35  And  they  brought  him  to  Je- 
sus : “and  they  cast  their  garments 
upon  the  colt,  and  they  set  Je-stis 

thereon.  , . i j 

36  ‘^And  as  he  went,  they  spread 
their  clothes  in  the  way.  . 

37  And  when  he  was  come  nigh, 
even  now  at  the  descent  ot  the 
mount  of  01-1  ves,  the  whole  multi- 
tude of  the  disciples  began  to  re- 
joice and  praise  God  with  a loud 
voice  for  all  the  mighty  works  that 
they  had  seen; 

38  Saying,  Blessed  he  the  King 

that  cometh  in  the  name  ot  the 
Lord : ® peace  in  heaven,  and  glory 
in  the  highest.  -r.i  . - 

39  And  some  of  the  Phar-i-sees 
from  among  the  multitude  said 
unto  him.  Master,  rebuke  thy  dis- 

^ And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  I tell  you  that,  if  these  should 
hold  their  peace,  ^the  stones  would 
immediately  cry  out. 

41  ^ And  when  he  was  come  near, 
he  beheld  the  city,  and  *wept  over  it, 

42  Saying,  If  thou  hadst  known, 
even  thou,  at  least  in  this  thy  day, 
the  things  which  belong  unto  thy 
peace ! but  now  they  are  hid  from 
thine  eyes.  ^ 

43  For  the  days  shall  come  upon 
thee,  that  thine  enemies  shall  ^cast 
a trench  about  thee,  and  compass 
thee  round,  and  keep  thee  in  on 
every  side, 

44  And  * shall  lay  thee  even  with 
the  ground,  and  thv  children  within 
thee ; and  "‘they  shall  not  leave  in 
thee  one  stone  upon  another ; "be- 
cause thou  kne west  not  the  time  of 
thy  visitation. 

45  "And  he  went  into  the  temple, 
and  began  to  cast  out  them  tnat 
sold  therein,  and  them  that  bought ; 

46  Saying  unto  them,  ^It  is  writ- 

ten, My  house  is  the  house  of  prayer : 
but  *ye  have  made  it  a den  of 
thieves.  . 

47  And  he  taught  daily  in  the 
temple.  But  ’’the  chief  priests  and 
the  scribes  and  the  chief  of  the 
people  sought  to  destroy  him, 

48  And  could  not  find  what  they 
might  do : for  all  the  people  ^ were 
very  attentive  to  hear  him.

Parable  of  the  vineyard. 

people  in  the  temple,  and  preached 
the  gospel,  the  chief  priests  and  the 
scribes  came  upon  him  with  the 
©1(3.01*8 

2 An^  spake  unto  him,  saying,  Tell 
us,  *by  what  authority  doest  thou 
these  things'?  or  who  is  he  that 
gave  thee  this  authority'? 

3 And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  I will  also  ask  you  one  thing ; 
and  answer  me : 

4 The  baptism  of  J6hn,  was  it  from 
heaven,  or  of  men  % 

5 And  they  reasoned  with  them- 
selves, saying,  If  we  shall  say.  From 
heaven  ; he  will  say.  Why  then  be- 
lieved ye  him  not '? 

But  and  if  we  say,  Of  men ; 
all  the  people  will  stone  us:  •''for 
they  be  persuaded  that  J6hn  was 
a prophet. 

7 And  they  answered,  that  they 
could  not  tell  whence  it  was. 

8 And  Je-siis  said  unto  them,  Nei- 
ther tell  I you  by  what  authority  I 
do  these  things. 

9 Then  began  he  to  speak  to  the 
people  this  parable ; '‘A  certain  man 
planted  a vineyard,  and  let  it  forth 
to  husbandmen,  and  went  into  a far 
country  for  a long  time. 

10  And  at  the  season  he  sent  a 
servant  to  the  husbandmen,  that 
they  should  give  him  of  the  fruit 
of  the  vineyard  : but  the  husband- 
men beat  him,  and  sent  him  away 
empty. 

1 1 And  again  he  sent  another  serv^ 
ant : and  they  beat  him  also,  and 
entreated  him  shamefully,  and  sent 
him  away  empty. 

1 2 And  again  he  sent  a third  : and 

they  wounded  him  also,  and  cast 
him  out.  , „ , 

13  Then  said  the  lord  of  the  vine- 
yard, What  shall  I do'?  I will  send 
my  beloved  son : it  may  be  they  will 
reverence  him  when  they  see  him. 

14  But  when  the  husbandmen  saw 
him,  they  reasoned  among  them- 
selves, saying,  This  is  the  heir : 
come,  let  us  kill  him,  that  the  in- 
heritance may  be  our’s. 

15  So  they  cast  him  out  of  the 
vineyard,  and  killed  him.  What 
therefore  shall  the  lord  of  the  vine- 
yard do  unto  them '? 

1 6 He  shall  come  and  destroy  these 
husbandmen,  and  shall  give  the 
vineyard  to  others.  And  when 
they  heard  it,  they  said,  God  forbid. 

1 7 And  he  beheld  them,  and  said. 
What  is  this  then  that  is  written, 
*The  stone  which  the  builders  r^ 
jected,  the  same  is  become  the  head 
of  the  corner  1 

18  Whosoever  shall  fall  upon  that 


83 


Of  tribute  to  CcBsar.  St.  LUKE,  21.  The  poor  widow' s mite^ 


stone  shall  be  broken;  but  “on 

whomsoever  it  shall  fall,  it  will 
grind  him  to  powder.  = 

1 9 H And  the  chief  priests  and  the 
scribes  the  same  hour  sought  to  lay 
hands  on  him  ; and  they  feai-ed  the 
people : for  thej^  perceived  that  he 
had  spoken  this  parable  against 
them. 

20  ®And  they  watched  and 
sent  forth  spies,  which  should  feign 
themselves  just  men,  that  they 
might  take  hold  of  his  words,  that 
so  they  might  deliver  him  unto 
the  power  and  authority  of  the 
governor. 

21  And  they  asked  him,  saying, 
^Master,  we  know  that  thou  sayest 
and  teachest  rightly,  neither  ac- 
ceptest  thou  the  person  of  any,  but 
teachest  the  way  of  God  ^truly  : 

22  Is  it  lawful  for  us  to  give  trib- 
ute unto  Cse-sar,  or  no  ? 

23  But  be  perceived  their  crafti- 
ness, and  said  unto  them,  Why 
tempt  ye  me? 

24  Shew  me  a ^xjenny.  Whose 
image  and  superscription  hath  it? 
They  answered  and  said,  Caesar’s. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them,  Bender 
therefore  unto  Cae-sar  the  things 
which  be  Caeksar’s,  and  unto  God 
the  things  which  be  God’s. 

26  And  they  could  not  take  hold 
of  his  words  before  the  people  : and 
they  marvelled  at  his  answer,  and 
held  their  peace. 

27  H "Then  came  to  him  certain 
of  the  Sad-du-9eei?,  ^ which  deny 
that  there  is  any  resurrection ; and 
they  asked  him, 

28  Saying,  Master,  ^Mo'se^  wrote 
unt9  us.  If  any  man’s  brother  die, 
haying  a wife,  and  he  die  without 
children,  that  his  brother  should 
take  his  wife,  and  raise  up  seed 
unto  his  brother. 

29  There  were  therefore  seven 
brethren  : and  the  first  took  a wife, 
and  died  without  children. 

30  And  the  second  took  her  to 
wife,  and  he  died  childless. 

31  And  the  third  took  her;  and 
in  like  manner  the  seven  also : and 
they  left  no  children,  and  died. 

32  Last  of  all  the  woman  died  also. 

33  Therefore  in  the  resurrection 
whose  wife  of  them  is  she?  for 
seven  had  her  to  wife. 

34  And  Je-siis  answering  said  unto 
them.  The  children  of  this  world 
marry,  and  are  given  in  marriage : 

35  But  they  which  shall  be  ac- 
counted worthy  to  obtain  that  world, 
and  the  resurrection  from  the  dead, 
neither  marry,  nor  are  given  in 
marriage ;

more:  for  *they  are  equal  unto 
the  angels';  and  are  the  children 
of  God,  ‘'being  the  children  of  the 
resurrection. 

37  Now  that  the  dead  are  raised, 
‘^even  Mo-ses  shewed  at  the  bush, 
when  he  calleth  the  Lord  the  Goa 
of  A-bra-ham,  and  the  God  of  I- 
§aae,  and  the  God  of  Ja-eob. 

38  For  he  is  not  a God  of  the  dead, 
but  of  the  living : for  -^all  live  unto 
him. 

39  U Then  certain  of  the  scribes 
answering  said.  Master,  thou  hast 
well  said. 

40  And  after  that  they  durst  not 
ask  him  any  question  at  all. 

41  And  he  said  unto  them,  ^How 
say  they  that  -Christ  is  Da-vid’s 
son? 

42  And  Da-vid  himself  saith  in 
the  book  of  Psalms,  *The  Lord 
said  unto  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my 
right  hand, 

43  Till  I make  thine  enemies  thy 
footstool. 

44  Da-vid  therefore  calleth  him 
Lorch  how  is  he  then  his  son? 

45  H *Then  in  the  audience  of  all 
the  people  he  said  unto  his  disciples, 

46  ^Beware  of  the  scribes,  which 
desire  to  walk  in  long  robes,  and 
'”^love  greetings  in  the  markets,  and 
the  highest  seats  in  the  synagogues, 
and  the  chief  rooms  at  feasts  ; 

47  ”Which  devour  widows’ houses, 
and  for  a shew  make  long  prayers : 
the  same  shall  receive  greater  dam- 
nation. 

CHAPTER  21. 

1 Christ  commendeth  the  poor  widow : 5 foretelleth  the  de- 
struction of  the  temple,  and  of  Jerusalem : 25  the  signs 
also  which  shall  be  before  the  last  day.  34  Be  exhorteth 
them  to  be  watchful. 

AND  he  looked  up,  ’’and  saw  the 
LTl  rich  men  casting  their  gifts 
into  the  treasury. 

2 And  he  saw  also  a certain  poor 
widow  casting  in  thither  two  ^mites. 

3 And  he  said.  Of  a truth  I say 
unto  you,  Hhat  this  poor  widow 
hath  cast  in  more  than  they  all : 

4 For  all  these  have  of  their  abun- 
dance cast  in  unto  the  offerings  of 
God : but  she  of  her  penury  hath 
cast  in  all  the  living  that  she  had. 

5 51  *And  as  some  spake  of  the 
temple,  how  it  was  adorned  with 
goodly  stones  and  gifts,  he  said, 

6 As  for  these  things  which  ye 
behold,  the  days  will  come,  in  the 
which  “there  shall  not  be  left  one 
stone  upon  another,  that  shall  not 
be  thrown  down. 

7 And  they  asked  him,  saying. 
Master,  but  when  shall  these  things 
be?  and  what  sign  will  there  be 


84 


The  signs  preceding

Christas  second  coming. 


when  these  things  shall  come  to 
pass  1 

8 And  he  said,  *’Take  heed  that  ye 
be  not  deceived : for  many  shall 
come  in  my  name,  saying,  I am 
Christ ; ^and  the  time  draweth  near : 
go  ye  not  therefore  after  them. 

9 But  when  ye  shall  hear  of  wars 
and  commotions,  be  not  terrified: 
for  these  things  must  first  come  to 
pass ; but  the  end  is  not  by  and  by. 

10  ‘^Then  said  he  unto  them,  Na- 
tion shall  rise  against  nation,  and 
kingdom  against  kingdom: 

11  And  great  earthquakes  shall 
be  in  divers  places,  and  famines, 
and  pestilences  ; and  fearful  sights 
and  great  signs  shall  there  be  from 
heaven. 

12  '*But  before  all  these,  they  shall 
lay  their  hands  on  you,  and  per^- 
cute  you,  delivering  you  up  to  the 
synagogues,  and  ‘into  prisons,  * be- 
ing brought  before  kings  and  rulers 
*for  my  name’s  sake. 

13  And  ’"it  shall  turn  to  you  for  a 
testimony. 

14  ’’Settle  it  therefore  in  your 
hearts,  not  to  meditate  before  what 
ye  shall  answer : 

15  For  I will  give  you  a mouth 
and  wisdom,  ^ which  all  your  adver- 
saries shall  not  be  able  to  gainsay 
nor  resist. 

’16  ’’And  ye  shall  be  betrayed  both 
by  parents,  and  brethren,  and  kins- 
folks, and  triends ; and  “some  of  you 
shall  they  cause  to  be  put  to  death. 

17  And  ‘ye  shall  be  hated  of  all 
men  for  my  name’s  sake. 

18  *But  there  shall  not  an  hair  of 
your  head  perish. 

19  In  your  patience  possess  ye 
your  souls. 

20  “And  when  ye  shall  see  Je-ru- 
sa-l6m  compassed  with  armies,  then 
know  that  the  desolation  thereof  is 
nigh. 

21  Then  let  them  which  are  in 
Ju-dae-a  flee  to  the  mountains  ; and 
let  them  which  are  in  the  midst  of 
it  depart  out ; and  let  not  them  that 
are  in  the  countries  enter  thereinto. 

22  For  these  be  the  days  9f  ven- 
geance, that  ^all  things  which  are 
written  may  be  fulfilled. 

23  •''But  woe  unto  them  that  are 
with  child,  and  to  them  that  give 
suck,  in  those  days  ! for  there  shall 
be  great  distress  in  the  land,  and 
wrath  upon  this  people. 

24  And  they  shall  fall  by  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  and  shall  be  led  away 
captive  into  all  nations : and  Jc-ru-

CHAPTER  22. 

1 The  Jews  conspire  against  Christ.  7 The  apostles  pre- 
pare the  passover.  19  Christ  instituteth  his  holy  supper, 
42  His  agony  in  the  garden.  47  His  betrayal.  54  He  is 
thrice  denied  of  Peter,  66  and  confesseth  himself  to  be  the 
Son  of  Ood. 

OW  ^'the  feast  of  unleavened 


bread  drew  nigh,  which  is 
called  the  Passover. 

2 And  ^ the  chief  priests  and 
scribes  sought  how  they  might  kill 
him ; for  they  feared  the  people.

3 H “Then  entered  Sa-tan  into 
Ju-das  surnamed  Is-ear-i-5t,  being 
of  the  number  of  the  twelve. 

4 And  he  went  his  way,  and  com- 
muned with  the  chief  priests  and 
captains,  how  he  might  oetray  him 
unto  them. 

5 And  they  were  glad,  and  ®cove- 
nanted  to  give  him  money. 

6 And  he  promised,  and  sought 
opportunity  to  betray  him  unto 
them  ^in  the  absence  of  the  mul- 
titude. 

7 H ^Then  came  the  day  of  un- 
leavened bread,  when  the  passover 
must  be  killed. 

8 ^d  he  sent  Pe-ter  and  J5hn, 
saying.  Go  and  prepare  us  the  pass- 
over,  tha  t we  may  eat. 

9 And  they  said  unto  him,  Where 
wilt  thou  that  we  prepare  1 

10  And  he  said  unto  them,  Be- 
hold, when  ye  are  entered  into  the 
city,  there  shall  a man  meet  you, 
bearing  a pitcher  of  water ; follow 
him  into  the  house  where  he  en- 
tereth  in. 

1 1 And  ye  shall  say  unto  the  good- 
man  of  the  house,  The  Master  saith 
unto  thee.  Where  is  the  guestcham- 
ber,  where  I shall  eat  the  passover 
with  my  disciples  1 

12  And  he  shall  shew  you  a large 
upper  room  furnished : there  make 
ready. 

13  And  they  went,  and  found  as 
he  had  said  unto  them : and  they 
made  ready  the  passover. 

14  *And  when  the  hour  was  come, 
he  sat  down,  and  the  twelve  apostles 
with  him. 

15  And  he  said  unto  them,  ^With 
desire  I have  desired  to  eat  this 
passover  with  you  before  I suffer : 

16  For  I say  unto  you,  I will 
not  any  more  eat  thereof,  “until 
it  be  fulfilled  in  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

17  And  he  took  the  cup,  and  gave 
thanks,^  and  said.  Take  this,  and 
divide  it  among  yourselves : 

18  For  say  unto  you,  I will  not 
drink  of  the  fruit  of  the  vine,  until 
the  kingdom  of  God  shall  come. 

19  H ^And  he  took  bread,  and  gave 
thanks,  and  brake  it,  and  gave  unto 
them,  saying.  This  is  my  body  which 
is  given  for  you : “this  do  in  re- 
membrance of  me. 

20  Likewise  also  the  cup  after 
supper,  saying,  ‘^This  cup  is  the 
new  testament  in  my  blood,  which 
is  shed  for  you. 

21  ^ ‘^But,  behold,  the  hand  of  him 
that  betrayeth  me  is  with  me  on 
the  table.

woe  unto  that  man  by  whom  he 
is  betrayed ! 

23  ‘'And  they  began  to  enquire 
among  themselves,  which  of  them 
it  was  that  should  do  this  thing. 

24  H ‘^And  there  was  also  a strife 
among  them,  which  of  them  should 
be  accounted  the  greatest. 

25  -^And  he  said  unto  them.  The 
kings  of  the  G6n-tile§  exercise  lord- 
ship  over  them ; and  they  that 
exercise  authority  upon  them  are 
called  benefactors. 

26  ^ But  ye  shall  not  he  so:  but 
he  that  is  greatest  among  you,  let 
him  be  as  the  younger ; and  he  that 
is  chief,  as  he  that  doth  serve. 

27  For  whether  is  greater,  he 
that  sitteth  at  meat,  or  he  that 
servethl  is  not  he  that  sitteth  at 
meat?  but  G am  among  you  as 
he  that  serveth. 

28  Ye  are  they  which  have  con- 
tinued with  me  in  *my  temptations. 

29  And  G appoint  unto  you  a 
kingdom,  as  my  Father  hath  ap- 
pointed unto  me ; 

30  That  "“ye  may  eat  and  drink 
at  my  table  in  my  kingdom,  “and 
sit  on  thrones  judging  the  twelve 
tribes  of  Is-ra-6l. 

31  H And  the  Lord  said,  Si-m6n, 
Si-m5n,  behold,  "Sa-tan  hath  de- 
sired to  have  you,  that  he  may 
^sift  you  as  wheat: 

32  But  have  prayed  for  thee, 
that  thy  faith  fail  not : ""and  when 
thou  art  converted,  strengthen  thy 
brethren. 

33  And  he  said  unto  him.  Lord,  I 
am  ready  to  go  with  thee,  both  into 
prison,  and  to  death. 

34  ''And  he  said,  I tell  thee,  Pe-ter, 
the  cock  shall  not  crow  this  day, 
before  that  thou  shalt  thrice  deny 
that  thou  knowest  me. 

35  "'And  he  said  unto  them.  When 
I sent  you  without  purse,  and  scrip, 
and  shoes,  lacked  ye  any  thing? 
And  they  said.  Nothing. 

36  Then  said  he  unto  them.  But 
now,  he  that  hath  a purse,  let  him 
take  it,  and  likewise  his  scrip  : and 
he  that  hath  no  sword,  let  him  sell 
his  garment,  and  buy  one. 

37  For  I say  unto  you,  that  this 
that  is  written  must  yet  be  accom- 
plished in  me,  *And  he  was  reck- 
oned among  the  transgressors  : for 
the  things  concerning  me  have  an 
end. 

38  And  they  said.  Lord,  behold, 
here  are  two  swords.  And  he  said 
unto  them.  It  is  enough.

he  said  unto  them.  Pray  that  ye 
enter  not  into  temptation. 

41  ®And  he  was  withdrawn  from 
them  about  a stone’s  cast,  and 
kneeled  down,  and  prayed,

prayed  more  earnestly : and  his

47  U And  while  he  yet  spake,  * be- 
hold a multitude,  and  he  that  was 
called  Ju-das,  one  of  the  twelve, 
went  before  them,  and  drew  near 
unto  Je-stis  to  kiss  him. 

48  But  Je-stis  said  unto  him,  Ju- 
das, betrayest  thou  the  Son  of  man

49  When  they  which  were  about 
him  saw  what  would  follow,  they 
said  unto  him.  Lord,  shall  we  smite 
with  the  sword '? 

50  51  And  ^one  of  them  smote  the 
servant  of  the  high  priest,  and  cut 
off  his  right  ear.

Suffer  ye  thus  far.  And  he  touched 
his  ear,  and  healed  him. 

52  ’’Then  Je-§tis  said  unto  the 
chief  priests,  and  captains  of  the 
temple,  and  the  elders,  which  were 
come  to  him.  Be  ye  come  out,  as 
against  a thief,  with  swords  and

that  time. 

8 H And  when  H6r-5d  saw  Je-stis, 
he  was  exceeding  glad : for  ®he  was 
desirous  to  see  him  of  a long  season, 
because  -^he  had  heard  many  things 
of  him ; and  he  hoped  to  have  seen 
some  miracle  done  by  hirn. 

9 Then  he  questioned  with  him  in 
many  words ; but  he  answered  him 
nothing. 

10  And  the  chief  priests  and  scribes 
stood  and  vehemently  accused  him. 

11  '"And  Her-dd  with  his  men  of 
war  set  him  at  nought,  and  mocked 
him,  and  arrayed  him  in  a gorgeous 
robe,  and  sent  him  again  to  Pidate. 

12^  And  the  same  day  * Pidate 
and  Her-5d  were  made  friends  to- 
gether: for  before  they  were  at 
enmity  between  themselves. 

13  H "'And  Pidate,  when  he  had 
called  together  the  chief  priests  and 
the  rulers  and  the  people, 

14  Said  unto  them,  "Ye  have 
brought  this  man  unto  me,  as  one 
that  perverteth  the  peojile : and, 
behold,  «I,  having  examined  him 
before  you,  have  found  no  fault 
in  this  man  touching  those  things 
whereof  ye  accuse  him : 

15  No,  nor  yet  Her-od : for  I sent 
you  to  him ; and,  lo,  nothing  worthy 
of  death  is  done  unto  him. 

16  “I  will  therefore  chastise  him, 
and  release  him. 

17  HPor  of  necessity  he  must  re- 
lease one  unto  them  at  the -feast.) 

18  And  “they  cried  out  all  at  once, 
saying.  Away  with  this  man,  and 
release  unto  us  Bar-ab-bas: 

19  (Who  for  a certain  sedition 
made  in  the  city,  and  for  murder, 
was  cast  into  prison.) 

20  Pidate  therefore,  willing  to  re-

I have  found  no  cause  of  death  in 
him  : I will  therefore  chastise  him, 
and  let  him  go.

loud  voices,  requiring  that  he  might 

be  crucified.  And  the  voices  of  them 
and  of  the  chief  priests  prevailed. 

24  And  *Pi-late  ^gave  sentence 
that  it  should  be  as  they  required. 

25  And  he  released  unto  them  him 
that  for  sedition  and  murder  was 
cast  into  prison,  whom  they  had 
desired ; but  he  delivered  Je-sus  to 
their  will. 

26  "And  as  they  led  him  away, 
they  laid  hold  upon  one  Si-mOn,  a 
Cy-re-ni-an,  coming  out  of  the  coun- 
try, and  on  him  they  laid  the 
cross,  that  he  might  bear  it  after 
Je-sus. 

27  H And  there  followed  him  a 
great  company  of  people,  and  of 
women,  which  also  bewailed  and 
lamented  him. 

28  But  Je-stis  turning  unto  them 
said.  Daughters  of  Je-ru-sa-lem, 
weep  not  for  me,  but  weep  for 
yourselves,  and  for  your  children. 

29  ^For,  behold,  the  days  are 
coming,  in  the  which  they  shall 
say.  Blessed  are  the  barren,  and 
the  wombs  that  never  bare,  and 
the  paps  which  never  gave  suck. 

30  *Then  shall  they  begin  to  say 
to  the  mountains.  Fall  on  us ; and 
to  the  hills.  Cover  us. 

31  H^or  if  they  do  these  things  in 
a green  tree,  what  shall  be  done  in 
the  dry  % 

32  ”And  there  were  also  two  other, 
malefactors,  led  with  him  to  be  put 
to  death. 

33  And  ^'when  they  were  come  to 
the  place,  which  is  called  ^£3al-va-ry, 
there  they  crucified  hini,  and  the 
malefactors,  one  on  the  right  hand, 
and  the  other  on  the  left. 

34  U Then  said  Je-§us,  Father, 
’■forgive  them;  for  Hhey  know  not 
what  they  do.  And  Hhey  parted 
his  raiment,  and  cast  lots. 

35  And  ^the  people  stood  behold- 
ing. And  the  ^rulers  also  with  them 
derided  him,  saying.  He  saved 
others ; let  him  save  himself,  if 
he  be  -Christ,  the  chosen  of  God. 

36  And  the  soldiers  also  mocked 

him,  coming  to  him,  and  ofiering 
him  vinegar,  , , . 

37  And^aying,  If  thou  be  the  king 
of  the  Jews,  save  thyself. 

38  *’And  a superscription  also  was 
written  over  him  in  letters  of  Greek, 
and  Lat-in,  and  He-brew,  THIS  IS 
THE  KING  OF  THE  JEW$. 

39  ^ "And  one  of  the  malefactors 
which  were  hanged  railed  on  him, 
saying.  If  thou  be  -Christ,  save  thy- 
self and  us.

45  And  the  sun  was  darkened,  and 
^ the  veil  of  the  temple  was  rent  in 
the  midst. 

46  H And  when  Je-sus  had  cried 
with  a loud  voice,  he  said,  ^Father, 
into  ‘ thy  hands  I commend  my 
spirit : ^ and  having  said  thus,  he 
gave  up  the  ghost. 

47  ^Now  when  the  centurion  saw 
what  was  done,  he  glorified  God, 
saying.  Certainly  this  was  a right- 
eous man. 

48  And  all  the  people  that  came 
together  to  that  sight,  beholding 
the  things  which  were  done,  smote 
their  breasts,  and  returned. 

49  ^And  all  his  acquaintance,  and 
the  women  that  followed  him  from 
Gal-i-lee,  stood  afar  off,  beholding 
these  things. 

50  ^ '"And,  behold,  there  was  a

he  wa^oi  Ar-i-ma-thse-a,  a city  of

for  the  kingdom  of  God. 

52  This  man  went  unto  Pi-late,  and 
begged  the  body  of  Je-sus. 

53  And  he  took  it  down,  and 
wrapped  it  in  linen,  and  laid  it

CHAPTER  24. 

1 Chritt’s  resurrection  is  declared  by  two  angels.  13  Christ 
himself  appeareth  to  two  disciples  that  went  to  Emmaus  : 
36  afterwards  he  appeareth  to  the  apostles,  reproving 
their  unbelief:  47  giveth  them  a charge:  49  promiseth 
the  Holy  Ghost:  51  arui  so  ascendeth  into  heaven. 


lyrOW  “upon  the  first  day  of  the 
ly  week,  very  early  in  the  morn- 
ing, they  came  unto  the  sepulchre, 
^bringing  the  spices  which  they 
had  prepared,  and  certain  others 
with  them. 

2 And  they  found  the  stone 
rolled  away  from  the  sepulchre. 

3 ‘^And  they  entered  in,  and  found 
not  the  body  of  the  Lord  Je-siis. 

4 And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
were  much  perplexed  thereabout, 
{behold,  two  men  stood  by  them 
in  shining  garments  : 

5 And  as  they  were  afraid,  and 
bowed  down  their  faces  to  the  earth, 
they  said  unto  them.  Why  seek  ye 
^the  living  among  the  dead  % 

6 He  is  not  here,  but  is  risen : 
remember  how  he  spake  unto  you 

when  he  was  yet  in  Gal-i-lee, 

7 Saying,  The  Son  of  man  must  be 
delivered  into  the  hands  of  sinful 
men,  and  be  crucified,  and  the  third 
day  rise  again. 

8 And  ""they  remembered  his 
v/ords, 

9 "And  returned  from  the  sepul- 
chre, and  told  all  these  things  unto 
the  eleven,  and  to  all  the  rest. 

1()  It  was  Ma-ry  Mag-da-le-n6,  and 
" J6-an-na,  and  Ma-ry  the  mother  of 
James,  and  other  women  that  were 
with  them,  which  told  these  things 
unto  the  apostles. 

11  ^And  their  words  seemed  to 
them  as  idle  tales,  and  they  believed 
them  not. 

1 2 ^Then  arose  Pe-ter,  and  ran  unto 
the  sepulchre  ; and  stooping  down, 
he  beheld  the  linen  clothes  laid  by 
themselves,  and  departed,  wonder- 
ing in  himself  at  that  which  was 
come  to  pass. 

13  H "And,  behold,  two  of  them 
went  that  same  day  to  a village 
called  Em-ma-us,  which  was  from  J A 
ru-sa-l6m  about  threescore  furlongs. 

14  And  they  talked  together  of 
all  these  things  which  had  hap- 
pened. 

1 5 And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while 
they  communed  together  and  rea- 
soned, “Je-§us  himself  drew  near, 
and  went  with  them. 

16  But  ‘’their  eyes  were  holden 
that  they  should  not  know  him. 

17  And  he  said  unto  them.  What 
manner  of  communications  are  these 
that  ye  have  one  to  another,  as  ye 
walk,  and  are  sad  1 

18  And  the  one  of  them, /whose 
name  was  Ule-O-pS-s,  answering  said 
unto  him.  Art  thou  only  a stranger 
in  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  and  hast  not  known 
the  things  which  are  come  to  pass 
there  in  these  days  ‘i 


89 


Christ  appeareih  St.  LUKE,  24. 


to  the  apostles. 


19  And  he  said  unto  them,  What 
things?  And  they  said  unto  him. 
Concerning  Je-stis  of  Naz-a-reth, 

* which  was  a prophet  ‘'mighty  in 
deed  and  word  before  God  and  all 
the  people : 

20  And  how  the  chief  priests  and 
our  rulers  delivered  him  to  be  con- 
demned to  death,  and  have  cruci- 
fied him. 

21  But  we  trusted  -^that  it  had 
been  he  which  should  have  re- 
deemed Is-ra-el : and  beside  all 
this,  to  day  is  the  third  day  since 
these  things  were  done. 

22  Yea,  and  * certain  women  also  of 
our  company  made  us  astonished, 
which  were  early  at  the  sepulchre  ; 

23  And  when  they  found  not  his 
body,  they  came,  saying,  that  they 
had  also  seen  a vision  of  angels, 
which  said  that  he  was  alive. 

24  And  certain  of  them  which  were 
with  us  went  to  the  sepulchre,  and 
found  it  even  so  as  the  women  had 
said  : but  him  they  saw  not. 

25  Then  he  said  unto  them,  O fools, 
and  slow  of  heart  to  believe  all  that 
the  prophets  have  spoken : 

26  ” Ought  not  -Christ  to  have  suf- 
fered these  things,  and  to  enter  into 
his  glory  ? 

27  "And  beginning  at  ^Mo-s6s  and 
^all  the  prophets,  he  expounded 
unto  them  in  all  the  scriptures  the 
things  concerning  himself. 

28  And  they  drew  nigh  unto  the 
village,  whither  they  went:  and 

* he  made  as  though  he  would  have 
gone  further. 

29  But  “they  constrained  him, 
saying.  Abide  with  us : for  it  is 
toward  evening,  and  the  day  is  far 
spent.  And  he  went  in  to  tarry 
with  them. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  sat 
at  meat  with  them,  me  took  bread, 
and  blessed  it,  and  brake,  and  gave 
to  them. 

31  And  their  eyes  were  opened, 
and  they  knew  him ; and  he  ^ van- 
ished out  of  their  sight. 

32  And  they  said  one  to  another. 
Did  not  our  heart  burn  within  us, 
while  he  talked  with  us  by  the 
way,  and  while  he  opened  to  us 
the  scriptures? 

33  And  they  rose  up  the  same  hour, 
and  returned  to  Jg-ru-sa-lSm,  and 
found  the  eleven  gathered  together, 
and  them  that  were  with  them, 

34  Saying,  The  Lord  is  risen  in- 
deed, and-^hath  appeared  to  Si-in5n. 

35  And  they  told  what  things 
were  done  in  the  way,  and  how  He

was  known  of  them  in  breaking 

of  bread. 

36  H “And  as  they  thus  spake, 
Je-siis  himself  stood  in  the  midst  of 
them,  and  saith  unto  them.  Peace 
he  unto  you. 

37  But  they  were  terrified  and 
affrighted,  and  supposed  that  they 
had  seen  "a  spirit. 

38  And  he  said  unto  them.  Why 
are  ye  troubled  ? and  why  do 
thoughts  arise  in  your  hearts? 

39  Behold  my  hands  and  my  feet, 
that  it  is  I myself:  s' handle  me, 
and  see  ; for  a spirit  hath  not  flesh 
and  bones,  as  ye  see  me  have. 

40  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  shewed  them  his  hands  and  his 
feet. 

41  And  while  they  yet  believed 
not  *for  joy,  and  wondered,  he 
said  unto  them,  * Have  ye  here  any 
meat  ? 

42  And  they  gave  him  a piece 
of  a broiled  fish,  and  of  an  honey- 
comb. 

43  ^And  he  took  it,  and  did  eat 
before  them. 

44  And  he  said  unto  them,  ’“These 
are  the  words  which  I spake  unto 
you,  while  I was  yet  with  you,  that 
all  things  must  be  fulfilled,  which 
were  written  in  the  law  of  Mo-ses, 
and  in  the  prophets,  and  in  the 
psalms,  concerning  me. 

45  Then  ’’opened  he  their  under- 
standing, that  they  might  under- 
stand the  scriptures, 

46  And  said  unto  them,  *Thus  it 
is  written,  and  thus  it  behoved 
■Christ  to  suffer,  and  to  rise  from 
the  dead  the  third  day : 

47  And  that  repentance  and  * re- 
mission of  sins  should  be  preached 
in  his  name  ^ among  all  nations,  be- 
ginning at  J e-ru-sa-lem. 

48  And  “ye  are  witnesses  of  these 


things. 

49  H ^Ard,  behold,  I send  the 
promise  of  my  Father  upon  you  : 
but  tarry  ye  in  the  city  of  Je-ru- 
sa-l6m,  until  ye  be  endued  with 
power  from  on  high. 

50  H And  he  led  them  out  "as  far 
as  to  B6th-a-n^,  and  he  lifted  up  his 
hands,  and  blessed  them. 

51  ‘*And  it  came  to  pass,  while  he 
blessed  them,  he  was  parted  from 
them,  and  carried  up  into  heaven. 

52  "And  they  worshipped  him, 

and  returned  to  JAru-sa-l6m  with 
great  joy : .

THE  GOSPEL  ACCORDING  TO 

St.  JOHN. 


CHAPTER  1. 

The  divinity,  humanity,  and  office  of  Chfrist. 

IN  the  beginning  *was  the  'V^rd, 
and  the  Word  was  ®with  God, 
‘*and  the  Word  was  God. 

2  ®The  same  was  in  the  begmmng 
with  God. 

3  All  things  were  made  by  him ; 
and  without  him  was  not  any  thing 
made  that  was  made. 

4  Hn  him  was  life;  and  ^the  life 
was  the  light  of  men. 

5  And  Hhe  light  shineth  in  dark- 
ness; and  the  darkness  compre- 
hended it  not. 

6  H ” There  was  a man  sent  from 
God,  whose  name  wa$  John. 

7  ^The  same  came  for  a witness,  to 
bear  witness  of  the  Light,  that  all 
men  through  him  might  believe. 

8  He  was  not  that  Light,  but 
was  sent  to  bear  witness  of  that 
Light. 

9  ^That  was  the  true  Light,  which 
lighteth  every  man  that  cometh  in- 
to the  world. 

10  He  was  in  the  world,  and  ^the 
world  was  made  by  him,  and  the 
world  knew  him  not. 

11  *He  came  unt9  his  own,  and 
his  own  received  him  not. 

12  But  "'as  many  as  received  him, 
to  them  gave  he  ^ power  to  become 
the  sons  of  God,  even  to  them  that 
believe  on  his  name : 

13  Which  were  born,  not  of  blood, 
nor  of  the  will  of  the  flesh,  nor  of 
the  will  of  man,  but  of  God. 

14  ‘^And  the  Word  ®was  made 
■''flesh,  and  dwelt  among  us,  (and 
^'we  beheld  his  glory,  the  glory 
as  of  the  only  begotten  of  the  Fa- 
ther,) *full  of  grace  and  truth. 

15  ^ John  bare  witness  of  him,  and 
cried,  saying.  This  was  he  of  whom 
I spake,  ^He  that  cometh  after  me 
is  preferred  before  me : ”"for  he  was 
berore  me. 

1 6  And  of  his  ” fulness  have  all  we 
received,  and  grace  for  grace. 

17  For  ®the  law  was  given  by 
Mo-sg?,  hut  ^grace  and  truth  came 
by  Je-stis  -Christ. 

18  ^No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any 
time  ; ®the  only  begotten  Son,  which 
is  in  the  bosom  of  the  Father,  he 
hath  declared  him. 

19  51  And  this  is_the  record  of 
John,  when  the  Jew?  sent  priests

and  Le-vltes  from  Je-ru-sa-lSm  to 
ask  him.  Who  art  thoul 

20  And  “he  confessed,  and  denied 
not ; but  confessed,  I am  not  the 
Christ. 

21  And  they  asked  him.  What 
then  1 Art  thou  -^E-li-as  And  he 
saith,  I am  not.  Art  thou  ^that^ 
prophets  And  he  answered.  No. 

22  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Who 
art  thoul  that  we  may  give  an 
answer  to  them  that  sent  us.  What 
sayest  thou  of  thyself  1 

23  ""He  said,  I am  the  voice  of 
one  crying  in  the  wilderness.  Make 
straight  the  way  of  the  Lord,  as 
“said  the  prophet  E-sa-ias. 

24  And  they  which  were  sent  were 
of  the  Phar4-sees. 

25  And  they  asked  him,  and  said 
unto  him.  Why  baptizest  thou  then, 
if  thou  be  not  that  Christ,  nor  E-li-as, 
neither  that  prophet  ? 

26  John  answered  them,  saying, 
’’I  baptize  with  water:  ®but  there 
standeth  one  among  you,  whom  ye 
know  not ; ^ 

27  “He  it  is,  who  coming  after  me 
is  preferred  before  me,  whose  shoe’s 
latchet  I am  not  worthy  to  unloose. 

28  These  things  were  done  ^in 
Beth-ab-a-ra  beyond  J 6r-dan,  where 
J5hn  was  baptizing. 

29  H The  next  day  Jdhn  seeth 
Je-sus  coming  unto  him,  and  saith, 
Behold  “the  Lamb  of  God,  '’which 
^taketh  away  the  sin  of  the  world. 

30  This  is  he  of  whom  I said.  After 
me  cometh  a man  which  is  preferred 
before  me : for  he  was  before  me. 

31  And  I knew  him  not : but  that 
he  should  be  made  manifest  to  1§- 
ra-el,  Hherefore  am  I come  baptiz- 
ing with  water. 

32  ''And  J6hn  bare  record,  saying, 
I saw  the  Spirit  descending  from 
heaven  like  a dove,  and  it  abode 
upon  him. 

33  And  I knew  him  not : but  he 
that  sent  me  to  baptize  with  water, 
the  same  said  unto  me.  Upon  whom 
thou  shalt  see  the  Spirit  descend- 
ing, and  remaining  on  him,  «the 
same  is  he  which  baptizeth  with 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

34  And  I saw,  and  bare  record 
that  this  is  the  Son  of  God. 

35  H Again  the  next  day  after  J5hn 
stood,  and  two  of  his  disciples  ; • 

36  And  looking  upon  Je-§us  as  he

St.  JOHN,  2. 


The  marriage  in  Cana, 


walked,  he  saith,  Behold  the  Lamb 
of  God ! in- 

37  And  the  two  disciples  heard  him 
spea^  and  they  followed  J e-§us. 

38  Then  Je-sus  turned,  and  saw 
them  following,  and  saith  unto 
them,  What  seek  ye'?  They  said 
unto  him,  Kab-bi,  (which  is  to  say, 
being  interpreted,  Master,)  where 
Mw^est  thou? 

39  He  saith  unto  them.  Come  and 

see.  They  came  and  saw  where  he 
dwelt,  and  abode  with  him  that 
day:  for  it  was  ^ about  the  tenth 
hour.  , . , 1 

40  One  of  the  two  which  heard 
John  speak,  and  followed  him,  was 
*An-drew,  Si-m6n  Pe-ter’s  brother. 

41  He  first  findeth  his  own  brother 
Si-mdn,  and  saith  unto  him.  We 
have  found  the  Mes-si-a^  which  is, 
being  interpreted,  ®the  -Christ. 

42  And  he  brought  him  to  Je-§us. 
And  when  Je-§us  beheld  him,  he 
said.  Thou  art  Si-mdn  the  son  of 
Jo-na : ^'thou  shalt  be  called  Ce-phas, 
which  is  by  interpretation,  ^ A 
stone. 

43  U The  day  following  _Je-§us 
would  go  forth  into  Gal-i-lee,  and 
findeth  Phil-ip,  and  saith  unto  him. 
Follow  me. 

44  Now'^Phil-ip  wa^of  Beth-sa-i- 
da,  the  city  of  An-drew  and  Pe-ter. 

45  Phil-ip  findeth  ^Na-than-a-el, 
and  saith  unto  him,  We  have  found 
him,  of  whom  ^Mo-§es  in  the  law, 
and  the  prophets,  did  write,  Je-sus 
”of  Naz-a-reth,  the  son  of  Jo-s6ph. 

46  And  Na-than-a-el  said  unto  him, 
"Can  there  any  good  thing  come  out 
of  Naz-S,-r6th?  Phil-ip  saith  unto 
him.  Come  and  see. 

47  Je-§us  saw  Na-than-a-el  coming 
to  him,  and  saith  of  him.  Behold 
*an  Is-ra-6l-ite  indeed,  in  whom  is 
no  guile ! 

48  Na-than-a-el  saith  unto  him. 
Whence  knowest  thou  me?  Je-sus 
answered  and  said  unto  him.  Be- 
fore that  Phil-ip  called  thee,  when 
thou  wast  under  the  fig  tree,  I saw 
thee. 

49  Na-than-a-el  answered  and  saith 
unto  him,  Bab-bi,  *thou  art  the 
Son  of  God;  thou  art  ^the  King  of 
Is-ra-6l. 

50  Je-sus  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Because  I said  unto  thee,  I saw 
thee  under  the  fig  tree,  belieyest 
thou  ? thou  shalt  see  greater  things 
than  these. 

51  And  he  saith  unto  him,  Verily, 
verily,  I say  unto  you,  Hereafter 
ye  shall  see  heaven  open,  and  the 
angels  of  God  ascending  and  de- 
scending upon  the  Son  of  man.

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Christ  tumeth  water  into  wine,  12  departefh  into  Caper- 

naum,  and  to  Jerusalem,  14  where  he  purgeth  the  temple. 

19  Be  foretelleth  his  death  and  resurrection.  23  Ma/nf 

believe  because  of  his  miracles. 

ND  the  third  d^  there  was  a 
marriage  in  “-Ca-na  of  Gal-i- 
lee;  and  the  mother  of  Je-sus  was 
there : 

2 And  both  Je-siis  was  called,  and 
his  disciples,  to  the  marriage. 

3 And  when  they  wanted  wine, 
the  mother  of  Je-sus  saith  unto 
him.  They  have  no  wine. 

4 Je-§us  saith  unto  her,  Woman, 
®what  have  I to  do  with  thee? 
‘^mine  hour  is  not  yet  come. 

5 His  mother  saitn  unto  the  serv- 
ants, Whatsoever  he  saith  unto  you, 
do  it. 

6 And  there  were  set  there  six 
waterpots  of  st9ne,  -^after  the  nmn- 
ner  of  the  purifying  of  the  Jew§, 
containing  two  or  three  firkins 
apiece. 

7 Je-sus  saith  unto  them.  Fill  the 
waterpots  with  water.  And  they 
filled  them  up  to  the  brim. 

8 And  he  saith  unto  them.  Draw 
out  now,  and  bear  unto  the  gover- 
nor of  the  feast.  And  they  bare  it. 

9 When  the  ruler  of  the  feast  had 
tasted  *the  water  that  was  made 
wine,  and  knew  not  whence  it  was : 
(but  the  servants  which  drew  the 
water  knew ;)  the  governor  of  the 
feast  called  the  bridegroom, 

10  And  saith  unto  him.  Every  man 
at  the  beginning  doth  set  forth  good 
wine ; and  when  men  have  well 
drunk,  then  that  which  is  worse: 
but  thou  hast  kept  the  good  wine 
until  now. 

1 1 This  beginning  of  miracles  did 
Je-sus  in  -Ca-na  of  Gal-i-lee,  ^and 
manifested  forth  his  glory ; and  his 
disciples  believed  on  him. 

12  ^ After  this  he  went  down  to 

■Ca-per-na-iim,  he,  and  his  mother, 
and  ’■fiis  brethren,  and  his  disciples : 
and  they  continued  there  not  many 
days.  _ 

13  ^ "And  the  Jews’  passover  was 
at  hand,  and  Je-sus  went  up  to  Je- 
ru-sa-l6m, 

14  *And  found  in  the  temple 
those  that  sold  oxen  and  sheep  and 
doves,  and  the  changers  of  money 
sitting : 

1 5 And  when  he  had  made  a 
scourge  of  small  cords,  he  drove 
them  all  out  of  the  temple,  and  the 
sheep,  and  the  oxen : and  poured 
out  the  changers’  money,  and  over- 
threw the  tables ; 

16  And  said  unto  them  that  sold 
doves.  Take  these  things  hence;

with  Nicodemus, 


make  not  “my  Father’s  house  an 
house  of  merchandise.  . 

17  And  his  disciples  remembered 
that  it  was  written,  ®The  zeal  of 
thine  house  hath  eaten  me_up. 

18  U Then  answered  the  Jew§  and 

said  unto  him,  ‘^What  sign  shewest 
thou  unto  us,  seeing  that  thou  doest 
these  things  1 i ^ 

19  Je-stis  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  “^Destroy;  this  temple,  and  in 
three  days  I will  raise  it  iw. 

20  Then  said  the  Jews,  F9rty  and 

six  years  was  this  temple  in  build- 
ing, and  wilt  thou  rear  it  up  in 
three  days'?  „ , , , ^ 

21  But  he  spake  ’^of  the  temple  ot 
his  body. 

22  When  therefore  he  was  risen 
from  the  dead,  *his  disciples  re- 
membered that  he  had  said  this 
unto  them ; and  they  believed  the 
scripture,  and  the  word  which  Je- 
sus nad  said. 

23  IT  Now  when  he  was  in  Je-ru- 
sa-l6m  at  the  passover,  in  the  feast 
day,  many  bdieved  in  his  name, 
when  they  saw  the  miracles  which 
he  did. 

24  But  Je-sus  did  not  commit  him- 
self unto  them,  because  he  knew  all 
men, 

25  And  needed  not  that  any  should 
testify  of  man : for  ^he  knew  what 
was  in  man.

There  was  a man  of  the  Phar-

ruler  of  the  J^§ : 

2  *The  same  came  to  Je-sus  by 
night,  and  said  unto  him,  Kab-bi, 
we  know  that  thou  art  a teacher 
come  from  God : for  * no  man  can 
do  these  miracles  that  thou  doest, 
except  *God  be  with  him. 

3  Je-stis  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  thee, 
* Except  a man  be  born  ^ again,  he 
cannot  see  the  kingdom  of  God. 

4  Nic-5-de-mus  saith  unto  him, 
How  can  a man  be  born  when  he 
is  old?  can  he  enter  the  second 
time  into  his  mother’s  womb,  and 
be  born'? 

5  Je-§us  answered.  Verily,  verily, 
I say  unto  thee,  “Except  a man  be 
born  of  water  and  of  the  Spirit,  he 
cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

6  That  which  is  born  of  the  flesh 
is  flesh ; and  that  which  is  born  of 
the  Spirit  is  spirit. 

7  Marvel  not  that  I said  unto  thee, 
Ye  must  be  born  ^again.

8 ^The  wind  bloweth  where  it 
listeth,  and  thou  hearest  the  sound 
thereof,  but  canst  not  tell  whence 
it  cometh,  and  whither  it  goeth: 
so  is  every  one  that  is  born  of  the 
Spirit. 

9 Nie-5-de-miis  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  *How  can  these  things 
be^ 

10  Je-sus  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Art  thou  a master  of  ls-ra-6l, 
and  knowest  not  these  things '? 

11  Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  thee. 
We  speak  that  we  do  know,  and 
testify  that  we  have  seen ; and  ye 
receive  not  our  witness. 

12  If  I have  told  you  earthly 
things,  and  ye  believe  not,  how 
shall  ye  believe,  if  I tell  you  of 
heavenly  things'? 

13  And  *no  man  hath  ascended  up 
to  heaven,  but  he  that  came  down 
from  heaven,  even  the  Son  of  man 
which  is  in  heaven. 

14  H ^And  as  Mo-s6s  lifted  up  the 
serpent  in  the  wilderness,  even  so 
"^must  the  Son  of  man  be  lifted  up : 

15  That  whosoever  believeth  in 
him  should  not  perish,  but  ”have 
eternal  life. 

16  U "For  God  so  loved  the  world, 
that  he  gave  his  only  begotten  Son, 
that  whosoever  believeth  in  him 
should  not  perish,  but  have  ever- 
lasting life. 

17  '^For  God  sent  not  his  Son  into 
the  world  to  condemn  the  world; 
but  that  the  world  through  him 
might  be  saved. 

18  H ’’He  that  believeth  on  him 
is  not  condemned : but  he  that  be- 
lieveth not  is  condemned  already, 
because  he  hath  not  believed  in  the 
name  of  the  only  begotten  Son  of 
God. 

19  And  this  is  the  condemnation, 
“that  light  is  come  into  the  world, 
and  men  loved  darkness  rather  than 
light,  because  their  deeds  were  evil. 

20  For  ^ every  one  that  doeth  evil 
hateth  the  light,  neither  cometh  to 
the  light,  lest  his  deeds  should  be 
^reproved. 

21  But  he  that  doeth  truth  cometh 
to  the  light,  that  his  deeds  may 
be  made  manifest,  that  they  are 
wroimht  in  God. 

22  ft  After  these  things  came  Je- 
sus and  his  disciples  into  the  land 
of  Ju-dse-a ; and  there  he  tarried 
with  them,  *and  baptized. 

23  IT  And  John  also  was  baptizing 
in  ^-nOn  near  to  "Sa-llm,  because 
there  was  much  water  there : ‘*and 
they  came,  and  were  baptized. 

24  For  "John  was  not  yet  cast 
into  prison.

25  ^ Then  there  arose  a question 
between  sc^  of  John’s  disciples 
and  the  Jews  about  purifying. 

26  And  they  came  unto  John,  and 
said  unto  him,  Rab-bi,  he  that  was 
with  thee  beyond  J 6r-dan,  “to  whom 
thou  barest  witness,  behold,  the 
same  baptizeth,  and  all  men  come 
to  him. 

27  John  answered  and  said, 
man  can  h'eceive  nothing,  except 
it  be  given  him  from  heaven. 

28  Ye  yourselves  bear  me  witness, 
that  I said,  am  not  the  -Christ, 
but  ®that  I am  sent  before  him. 

29  -^He  that  hath  the  bride  is  the 
bridegroom:  but/ the  friend  of  the 
bridegroom,  which  stand  eth  and 
heareth  him,  rejoiceth  greatly  be- 
cause of  the  bridegroom’s  voice : 
this  my  joy  therefore  is  fulfilled. 

30  He  must  increase,  but  I must 
decrease. 

31  *He  that  cometh  from  above 
*is  above  all:  ^he  that  is  of  the 
earth  is  earthly,  and  speaketh  of 
the  earth : ”^he  that  cometh  from 
heaven  is  above  all. 

32  And  ’^what  he  hath  seen  and 
heard,  that  he  testifieth ; and  no 
man  receiveth  his  testimony. 

33  He  that  hath  received  his  testi- 

mony ^hath  set  to  his  seal  that  God 
is  true.  s 

34  ’’For  he  whom  God  hath  sent 
speaketh  the  words  of  God : for  God 
giveth  not  the  Spirit  * by  measure 
unto  him. 

35  “The  Father  loveth  the  Son,  and 
hath  given  all  things  into  his  hand. 

36  "“He  that  believeth  on  the  Son 
hath  everlasting  life : and  he  that 
believeth  not  the  Son  shall  not  see 
life ; but  the  wrath  of  God  abideth 
on  him. 

CHAPTER  4. 

1 Christ  talketh  vAth  a woman  of  Samaria.  27  His  dis- 
ciples marvel.  31  He  declareth  his  zeal  fcm  Cod's  glory. 

39  Many  Samaritans  believe  on  him.  43  He  depa/rteth 

into  Galile.e,  and  healeth  the  ruler’s  son. 

WHEN  therefore  the  Lord  knew 
how  the  Phar-i-sees  had  heard 
that  J e-siis  made  and  ® baptized 
more  disciples  than  Jshn, 

2  (Though  J e-sus  himself  baptized 
not,  but  his  disciples,) 

3  He  left  Ju-dse-a,  and  departed 
again  into  Gal-i-lee. 

4  And  he  must  needs  go  through 
Sa-ma-ri-a. 

5  Then  cometh  he  to  a city  of 
Sa-ma-ri-a,  which  is  called  Sy^har, 
near  to  the  parcel  of  ground  ‘^that 
Ja^Ob  gave  to  his  son  Jo-seph. 

6  Now  Ja-eOb’s  well  was  there. 
J e-sus  therefore,  being  wearied  with 
his  journey,  sat  thus  on  the  well : 
and  it  was  about  the  sixth  hour.

7 There  cometh  a woman  of  Sa- 
ma-ri-a  to  draw  water : Je-siis  saith 
unto  her.  Give  me  to  drink. 

8 (For  his  disciples  were  gone  away 
unto  the  city  to  buy  meat.) 

9 Then  saith  the  woman  of  Sa- 
ma-ri-a  unto  him.  How  is  it  that 
thou,  being  a J^,  askest  drink  of 
me,  which  am  a woman  of  Sa- 
ma-ri-a  1 for  ®the  J^s  have  no 
dealings  with  the  Sa-mar-i-tans. 

10  Je-siis  answered  and  said  unto 
her.  If  thou  knewest  the  gift  of 
God,  and  who  it  is  that  saith  to 
thee.  Give  me  to  drink ; thou 
wouldest  have  asked  of  him,  and 
he  would  have  given  thee  * living 
water. 

1 1 The  woman  saith  unto  him.  Sir, 
thou  hast  nothing  to  draw  with, 
and  the  well  is  deep  : from  whence 
then  hast  thou  that  Living  water  % 

12  Art  thou  greater  than  our 
father  Ja-eCb,  which  gave  us  the 
well,  and  drank  thereof  himself, 
and  his  children,  and  his  cattle'? 

13  Je-siis  answered  and  said  unto 
her.  Whosoever  drinketh  of  this 
water  shall  thirst  again : 

14  But  "whosoever  drinketh  of  the 
water  that  I shall  give  him  shall 
never  thirst  ; but  the  water  that  I 
shall  give  him  ^ shall  be  in  him  a 
well  of  water  springing  up  into 
everlasting  life. 

15  *'rhe  woman  saith  unto  him. 
Sir,  give  me  this  water,  that  1 
thirst  not,  neither  come  hither  to 
draw. 

16  Je-siis  saith  unto  her.  Go,  call 
thy  husband,  and  come  hither. 

17  The  woman  answered  and  said, 
I have  no  husband.  Je-siis  said 
unto  her.  Thou  hast  well  said,  I 
have  no  husband: 

18  For  thou  hast  had  five  hus- 
bands ; and  he  whom  thou  now 
hast  is  not  thy  husband:  in  that 
saidst  thou  truly. 

19  The  woman  saith  unto  him. 
Sir,  ^1  perceive  that  thou  art  a 
prophet. 

20  Our  fathers  worshipped  in  “this 
mountain ; and  ye  say,  that  in  *Je- 
ru-sa-l6m  is  the  place  where  men 
ought  to  worship. 

21  Je-siis  saith  unto  her.  Woman, 
believe  me,  the  hour  cometh,  "when 
ye  shall  neither  in  this  mountain, 
nor  yet  at  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  worship  the 
Father. 

22  Ye  worship  "ye  know  not 
what : we  know  what  w^  worship : 
for  •''salvation  is  of  the  Jews. 

23  But  the  hour  cometh,  and  now 
is,  when  the  true  worshippers  shall 
worship  the  Father  in  spirit  '*and 


a woman  of  Samaria. 


br.  JOHN,  5. 


Christ  healeth  a ruleSs  son. 


in  truth:  for  _ the  Father  seeketh 

such  to  worship  him. 

24  "God  is  a Spirit : and  they  that 

vjorship  him  must  worship  him  in 
spirit  and  in  truth.  , . t 

25  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  1 
know  that  M6s-si-as  cometh,  which 
is  called  -Ghrist : when  he  is  come, 
‘^he  will  tell  us  all  things. 

26  Je-sus  saith  unto  her,  ‘’I  that 
speak  unto  thee  am  he. 

27  U And  upon  this  came  his  dis- 
ciples, and  marvelled  that  he  talked 
with  the  woman  : yet  no  man  said, 
What  seekest  thou^  or,  Why  talkest 
thou  with  her  % 

28  The  woman  then  left  her  water- 
pot,  and  went  her  way  into  the 
city,  and  saith  to  the  men^ 

29  Come,  see  a man,  *which  told 
me  all  things  that  ever  I did : is 
not  this  the  ■Christ'? 

30  Then  they  went  out  of  the  city, 
and  came  unto  him. 

/31  H In  the  mean  while  his  disci- 
ples prayed  him,  saying.  Master, 
eat. 

32  But  he  said  unto  them,  I have 
meat  to  eat  that  ye  know  not  of. 

33  Therefore  said  the  disciples  one 
to  another.  Hath  any  man  brought 
him  ought  to  eat '? 

34  Je-sus  saith  unto  them,  ^My 
meat  is  to  do  the  will  of  him  that 
sent  me,  and  to  finish  his  work. 

35  Say  not  ye.  There  are  yet  four 
months,  and  then  cometh  harvest'? 
behold,  I say  unto  you.  Lift  up  your 
eyes,  and  look  on  the  fields;  Hor 
they  are  white  already  to  harvest. 

36  ""And  he  that  reapeth  receiveth 
wages,  and  gathereth  fruit  unto  life 
eternal:  that  both  he  that  soweth 
and  he  that  reapeth  may  rejoice 
together. 

37  And  herein  is  that  saying  true, 
One  soweth,  and  another  reapeth. 

38  I sent  you  to  reap  that  whereon 
ye  bestowed  no  labour : other  men 
laboured,  and  ye  are  entered  into 
their  labours. 

39  ^ And  many  of  the  Sa-mar-i- 
tans  of  that  city  believed  on  him 
"for  the  saying  of  the  woman, 
which  testified,  He  told  me  all 
that  ever  I did. 

40  So  when  the  Sa-mar-i-tan§  were 
come  unto  him,  they  besought  him 
that  he  would  tarry  with  them : 
and  he  abode  there  two  days. 

41  And  many  more  believed  be- 
cause of  his  own  word; 

42  And  said  unto  the  woman.  Now 
we  believe,  not  because  of  thy  say- 
ing: for  ®we  have  heard  hiTn  our- 
selves, and  know  that  this  is  indeed 
the -Christ,  the  Saviour  of  the  world.

43  ^ Now  after  two  days  he 

departed'  thence,  and  went  into 
Gffl-lee. 

44  For  ^Je^us  himself  testified, 
that  a prophet  hath  no  honour  in 
his  own  country.  , y 

45  Then  when  "he  was  come  into 
GM-i-lee,  the.  Gahi-lse-ans  received 
him,  ‘^haviilg  seen  all  the  things 
that  he  did  at  Je-ru-sa-lem  at  the 
feast:  -^for  they  also  went  unto  the 
feast.  ^ 

46Ho  J.e-sus  came  again  into  -Ca-na 
35f  Gal-i-lee,  ^ where  he  made  the 
water  wine.  And  there  was  a 
certain  ^nobleman,  whose  son  was 
sick  at  -Ca-per-na-um. 

47  When  he  heard  that  Je-sus  was 
come  out  of  Ju-dse-a  into  Gal-i-lee, 
he  went  unto  him,  and  besought 
him  that  he  would  come  down,  and 
heal  his  son  : for  he  was  at  the 
point  of  death. 

48  Then  said  Je-sus  unto  him, 
Except  ye  see  signs  and  wonders, 

ye  will  not  believe. 

49  The  nobleman  saith  unto  him. 
Sir,  come  down  ere  my  child  die. 

50  Je-sus  saith  unto  him.  Go  thy 
way ; thy  son  liveth.  And  the  man 
believed  the  word  that  Je-stis  had 
spoken  unto  him,  and  he  went  his 
way. 

51  And  as  he  was  now  going  down, 
his  servants  met  him,  and  told  him^ 

aying.  Thy  son  liveth. 

52  Then  enquired  he  of  them  the 
hour  when  he  began  to  amend. 
And  they  said  unto  him.  Yesterday 
at  the  seventh  hour  the  fever  left 
him. 

53  So  the  father  knew  that  was 
at  the  same  hour,  in  the  which  Je- 
stis  said  unto  him.  Thy  son  liveth : 
and  himself  believed,  and  his  whole 
house.  ... 

54  This  is  again  the  second  miracle 
that  Je-s^iis  did,  when  he  was  come 
out  of  Ju-dse-a  into  Gal-i-lee. 

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Jems  on  the  sabbath  day  healeth  an  impotent  man.  10 
The  Jews  therefore  persecute  him  for  it.  17  He  answereth 
for  himself,  and  reproveth  them,  shevying  by  the  testimony 
of  his  Father,  32  of  John,  36  of  his  works,  39  and  of  the 
scriptures,  who  he  is. 

AFTER  ®th^  there  was  a feast 
of  the  J^§;  and  Je-stis  went 
up  to  JAru-sa-l6m. 

2 Now  there  is  at  JAru-sa-l6m  ^by 
the  sheep  '^market  a pool,  which  is 
called  in  the  He-br^  tongue  Bg- 
thgs-da,  having  five  porches. 

3 In  these  lay  a great  multitude 
of  impotent  folk,  of  blind,  halt, 
withered,  waiting  for  the  moving 
of  the  water. 

4 For  an  angel  went  down  at  a 


4.n  impotent  man  heated. 


St.  JOHN,  5. 


Christ  reproveth  the  Jews^ 


certain  season  into  the  pool,  and 
troubled  the  water : whosoever  then 
first  after  the  troubling  of  the  water 
stepped  in  was  made  whole  of  what- 
soever disease  he  had. 

5 And  a certain  man  was  there, 

which  had  an  infirmity  thirty  and 
eight  years.  , . , 

6 When  Je-§us  saw  him  he,  and 
knew  that  he  had  been  now  a long 
time  in  that  case,  he  saith  unto 
him.  Wilt  thou  be  made  whole'? 

7 The  impotent  man  answered 
him.  Sir,  I nave  no  man,  when  the 
water  is  troubled,  to  put  me  into 
the  pool:  but  while  I am  coming, 
anotner  steppeth  down  before  me. 

8 Je-sus  saith  unto  him,  ®E,ise, 
take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

9 And  immediately  the  man  was 
made  whole,  and  took  up  his  bed, 
and  walked  : and  ^on  the  same  day 
was  the  sabbath. 

10  U The  Je'ws  therefore  said  unto 
him  that  was  cured.  It  is  the  sab- 
bath day : *it  is  not  lawful  for  thee 
to  carry  thy  bed. 

11  He  answered  them.  He  that 
made  me  whole,  the  same  said  unto 
me.  Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

12  Then  asked  they  him.  What 
man  is  that  which  said  unto  thee. 
Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk'? 

13  And  he  that  was  healed  wist 
not  who  it  was  : for  J e-sus  had  con- 
veyed himself  away,  ^a  multitude 
being  in  that  place. 

14  Afterward  Je-sus  findeth  him 
in  the  temple,  and  said  unto  him. 
Behold,  thou  art  made  whole : "sin 
no  more,  lest  a worse  thing  come 
unto  thee. 

15  The  man  departed,  and  tpld 

the  Jews  that  it  was  Je-stis,  which 
had  made  him  whole.  _ 

16  And  therefore  did  the  Jews 

gersecute  J e-su«,  and  sought  to  slay 
im,  because  he  had  done  these 
things  on  the  sabbath  day. 

17  H But  Je-stis  answered  them, 
*My  Father  worketh  hitherto,  and 
I work.  _ 

18  Therefore  the  Jews  “sought  the 
more  to  kill  him,  because  he  not 
only  had  broken  the  sabbath,  but 
said  also  that  God  was  his  Father 
^making  himself  equal  with  God. 

19  Then  answered  Je-sus  and  said 
unto  them,  Verily,  verily,  I say  un 
to  you,  “The  Son  can  do  nothing 
of  himself,  but  what  he  seeth  the 
Father  do:  for  what  things  soever 
he  doeth,  these  also  doeth  the  Son 
likewise. 

20  For  “'the  Father  loveth  the  Son, 
and  sheweth  him  all  things  that 
himself  doeth:  and  he  will  shew

him  greater  works  than  these,  that 
ye  may  marvel. 

21  For  as  the  Father  raiseth  up 
the  dead,  and  quickeneth  them ; 
“even  so  the  Son  quickeneth  whom 
he  will. 

22  For  the  Father  judgeth  no  man, 
but  *hath  committed  all  judgment 
unto  the  Son: 

23  That  all  men  should  honour 
the  Son,  even  as  they  honour  the 
Father.  ‘'He  that  honoureth  not 
the  Son  honoureth  not  the  Father 
which  hath  sent  him. 

24  Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  you, 
^ He  that  heareth  my  word,  and  be- 
lieveth  on  him  that  sent  me,  hath 
everlasting  life,  and  shall  not  come 
into  condemnation;  •''but  is  passed 
from  death  unto  life. 

25  Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  you, 
The  hour  is  coming,  and  now  is, 
when  '"the  dead  shall  hear  the  voice 
of  the  Son  of  God : and  they  that 
hear  shall  live. 

26  For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in 
himself;  so  hath  he  given  to  the 
Son  to  have  life  in  himself; 

27  And  '^hath  given  him  authority 
to  execute  judgment  also,  'because 
he  is  the  Son  of  man. 

28  Marvel  not  at  this:  for  the 
hour  is  coming,  in  the  which  all 
that  are  in  the  graves  shall  hear 
his  voice, 

29  ""And  shall  come  forth;  “they 
that  have  done  good,  unto  the  re- 
surrection of  life;  and  they  that 
have  done  evil,  unto  the  resurrec- 
tion of  damnation. 

30  I can  of  mine  own  self  do 
nothing : as  I hear,  I judge : and 
my  judgment  is  just;  because  ^1 
seek  not  mine  own  will,  but  the  will 
of  the  Father  which  hath  sent  me. 

31  «If  I bear  witness  of  myself, 
my  witness  is  not  true. 

32  IT  "There  is  another  that  beareth 
witness  of  me ; and  I know  that  the 
witness  which  he  witnesseth  of  me 
is  true. 

33  Ye  sent  unto  J 5hn,  'and  he  bare 
witness  unto  the  truth. 

34  But  I receive  not  testimony 
from  man : but  these  things  I say, 
that  ye  might  be  saved. 

35  He  was  a burning  and  ^a  shin- 
ing light : and  ^ye  were  willing  for 
a season  to  rejoice  in  his  light. 

36  IT  But  I have  greater  witness 
than  that  of  John:  for  Hhe  works 
which  the  Father  hath  given  me  to 
finish,  the  same  works  that  I do, 
bear  witness  of  me,  that  the  Father 
hath  sent  me. 

37  And  the  Father  himself,  which 
hath  sent  me,  ®hath  borne  witness  of 


Christ  feedeth  five  thousand.

CHAPTER  6. 

1 Christ  feedeth  five  thousand  men  tvith  five  loaves  a/nd  two 
fishes.  19  He  walketh  on  the  sea  to  his  disciples : 32  de- 
clareth  himself  to  be  the  bread  of  life  to  believers.  66 
Many  disciples  deptart  from  him.  68  Peter  covfesseth 
him.  70  Judas  is  a devil. 

AFTER  these  things  Je-sus  went 
over  the  sea  of  Gal-i-lee,  which 
is  the  sea  of  Ti-be-ri-as. 

2 And  a great  multitude  followed 
hirn,  because  they  saw  his  miracles 
which  he  did  on  them  that  were 
diseased.  _ 

3 And  Je-sus  went  up  into  a moun- 
tain, and  there  he  sat  with  his  dis- 
ciples. 

4_/And  the  passover,  a feast  of  the 
Jew§,  was  nigh. 

5 ^ “When  Je-sus  then  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  and  saw  a great  company  come 
unto  him,  he  saith  unto  Phil-ip, 
Whence  shall  we  buy  bread,  that 
these  may  eat  *?  _ 

6 And  this  he  said  to  prove  him ; for 
he  himself  knew  what  he  would  do. 

7 Phil-ip  answered  him,  ^’Two  Inin 
dred  pennyworth  of  bread  is  not 
sufficient  for  them,  that  every  one 
of  them  may  take  a little.  _ 

8 One  of  his  disciples,  An-dr^, 
Si-m5n  Pe-ter’s  brother,  saith  unto 
him, 

9 There  is  a lad  here,  which  hath 
five  barley  loaves,  and  two  small 
fishes ; » but  what  are  they  among 
so  many '?

10  Apd  Je-siis  said.  Make  the  men 

sit  down.  Now  there  was  much 
grass  in  the  place.  So  the  men  sat 
down,  in  number  about  five  thou- 
sand. 

11  And  Je^tis  topk  the  loaves; 
and  when  he  had  given  thanks,  he 
distributed  to  the  disciples,  and 
the  disciples  to  them  that  were  set 
down ; and  likewise  of  the  fishes  as 
much  as  they  would. 

1 2 When  they  were  filled,  he  said 
unto  his  disciples.  Gather  up  the 
fragments  that  remain,  that  noth- 
ing be  lost. 

13  Therefore  they  gathered  them 
together,  and  filled  twelve  baskets 
with  the  fragments  of  the  five  bar- 
ley loaves,  which  remained  over  and 
above  unto  them  that  had  eaten. 

14  Then  those  men,  when  they  had 
seen  the  miracle  that  J e-susdid,  said. 
This  is  of  a truth  ^that  prophet  that 
should  come  into  the  world. 

15  ^ When  Je-sus  therefore  per- 
ceived that  they  would  come  and 
take  him  by  force,  to  make  him 
a king,  he  departed  again  into  a 
mountain  himself  alone. 

1 6 * And  when  even  was  now  come, 
his  disciples  went  down  unto  the 
sea, 

17  And  entered  into  a shm,  and 
went  over  the  sea  toward  -Ga-per- 
na-um.  And  it  was  now  dark,  and 
Je-sus  was  not  come  to  them. 

18  And  the  sea  arose  by  reason  of 
a great  wind  that  blew. 

1 9 So  when  they  had  rowed  about 
five  and  twenty  or  thirty  furlongs, 
they  see  Je-stis  walking  on  the  sea, 
and  drawing  nigh  unto  the  ship : 
and  they  were  afraid. 

20  But  he  saith  unto  them.  It  is  I ; 
be  not  afraid. 

21  Then  they  willingly  received 
him  into  the  ship : and  immedi- 
ately the  ship  was  at  the  land 
whither  they  went. 

22  H The  day  following,  when  the 
people  which  stood  on  the  other 
side  of  the  sea  saw  that  there  was 
none  other  boat  there,  save  that 
one  whereinto  his  disciples  were 
entered,  and  that  Je-§us  went  not 
with  his  disciples  into  the  boat,  but 
that  his  disciples  were  gone  away^ 
alone : 

23  (Howbeit  there  came  other 
boats  from  Ti-beh*i-as  nigh  unto  the 
place  where  they  did  eat  bread,  after 
that  the  Lord  had  given  thanks  :) 

24  When  the  people  therefore  saw 
that  Je-stis  was  not  there,  neither 
his  disciples,  they  also  took  ship- 
ping, and  came  to  -Ga-per-na-um, 
seeking  for  Je-§tig.

Christ  declareth  himself  St.  J OHN,  6.  to  he  the  bread  of  life. 


25  And  when  they  had  found  him 
on  the  other  side  of  the  sea,  they 
said  unto  him,  E-ab-bi,  when  earnest 
thou  hither  % 

26  Je-siis  answered  them  and  said. 
Verily, 'verily,  I say  unto  you.  Ye 
seek  me,  not  because  ye  saw  the 
miracles,  but  because  ye  did  eat  of 
the  loaves,  and  were  filled. 

27  ^Labour  not  for  the  meat  which 
perisheth,  but  ‘^for  that  meat  which 
endureth  unto  everlasting  life, 
which  the  Son  of  man  shall  give 
unto  you : for  him  hath  God  the 
Father  sealed. 

28  Then  said  they  unto  him.  What 
shall  we  do,  that  we  might  work 
the  works  of  God"? 

29  Je-stis  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  '‘This  is  the  work  of  God, 
that  ye  believe  on  him  whom  he 
ha.th  sent. 

30  They  said  therefore  unto  him, 
*What  sign  shewest  thou  then,  that 
we  may  see,  and  believe  thee  1 what 
dost  thou  work  1 

31  * Our  fathers  did  eat  man-na  in 
the  desert ; as  it  is  written,  ^ He 
gave  them  bread  f roru  heaven  to  eat. 

32  Then  Je-stis  said  unto  them, 
Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  you, 
Mo-ses  gave  you  not  that  bread 
from  heaven ; but  my  Father  giveth 
you  the  true  bread  from  heaven. 

33  For  the  bread  of  God  is  he 
which  cometh  down  from  heaven, 
and  giveth  life  unto  the  world. 

34  « Then  said  they  unto  him, 
fjord,  everinore  give  us  this  bread. 

35  And  Je-stis  said  unto  them,  I 
am  the  bread  of  life ; he  that  com- 
eth to  me  shall  never  hunger ; and 
he  that  believeth  on  me  shall  never 
thirst. 

36  But  I said  unto  you.  That  ye 
also  have  seen  me,  and  believe  not. 

37  All  that  the  Father  giveth  me 
shall  come  to  me  ; and  “him  that 
cometh  to  me  I will  in  no  wise  cast 
out. 

38  For  I came  down  from  heaven, 
*not  to  do  mine  own  will,  ^'but  the 
will  of  him  that  sent  me. 

39  And  this  is  the  Father’s  will 
which  hath  sent  me,  “that  of  all 
which  he  hath  given  me  I should 
lose  nothing,  but  should  raise  it  up 
again  at  the  last  day. 

40  And  this  is  the  will  of  him 
that  sent  me,  ®that  every  one  which 
seeth  the  Son,  and  believeth  on 
him,  may  have  everlasting  life : and 
I will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day. 

41  The  Jews  then  murmured  at 
him,  because  he  said,  I am  the 
bread  which  came  down  from  hea- 
ven.

is  it  then  that  he  saith,  I came

43  Je-sus  therefore  answered  and 
said  unto  them.  Murmur  not  among 
yourselves. 

44  '’No  man  can  come  to  me,  ex- 
cept the  Father  which  hath  sent

up  at  the  last  day, 

45  It  is  written  in  the  prophets. 
And  they  shall  be  all  taught  of 
God.  Every  man  therefore  that 
hath  heard,  and  hath  learned  of 
the  Father,  cometh  unto  me. 

46  ■''Not  that  any  man  hath  seen 
the  Father,  ^’save  he  which  is  of 
God,  he  hath  seen  the  Father. 

47  Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  you, 
He  that  believeth  on  me  hath  ever- 
lasting life. 

48  I am  that  bread  of  life. 

49  Your  fathers  did  eat  man-na  in 
the  wilderness,  and  are  dead. 

50  This  is  the  bread  which  cometh 
down  from  heaven,  that  a man  may 
eat  thereof,  and  notrdie. 

51  I am  the  living  bread  ’“which 
came  down  from  heaven : if  any 
man  eat  of  this  bread,  he  shall  live 
for  ever : and  “the  bread  that  I will 
give  is  my  flesh,  which  I will  give 
for  the  life  o^the  world. 

52  The  Jews  therefore  "strove 
among  themselves,  saying,  ^How 
can  this  man  give  us  his  flesh  to 
eat  ? 

53  Then  Je-siis  said  unto  them. 
Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  you.  Ex- 
cept *ye  eat  the  flesh  of  the  Son 
of  man,  and  drink  his  blood,  ye 
have  no  life  in  you. 

54  * Whoso  eateth  my  flesh,  and 
drinketh  my  blood,  hath  eternal 
life ; and  I will  raise  him  up  at 
the  last  day. 

55  For  my  flesh  is  meat  indeed, 
and  my  blood  is  drink  indeed. 

56  He  that  eateth  my  flesh,  and 
drinketh  my  blood,  ^dwelleth  in 
me,  and  I in  him. 

57  As  the  living  Father  hath  sent 
me,  and  I live  by  the  Father:  so 
he  that  eateth  me,  even  he  shall 
live  by  me. 

58  '’This  is  that  bread  which  came

said,  This  is  an  hard  saying ; who 

can  hear  iti  ^ _ 

61  When  Je-sus  knew  in  himselt 
that  his  disciples  murmured  ^ it. 
he  said  unto  them,  Doth  this  offend 
you  1 

62  *^What  and  if  ye  shall  see  the 
Son  of  man  ascend  up  where  he 
was  before  1 

63  **  It  is  the  spirit  that  quicken- 
eth;  the  flesh  profiteth  nothing: 
the  words  that  1 speak  unto  you, 
they  are  spirit,  and  they  are  life. 

64  But  there  are  some  of  you 
that  believe  not.  For  ^Je-siis  knew 
from  the  beginning  who  they  were 
that  believed  not,  and  who  should 
betray  him. 

65  And  he  said,  Therefore  *=said  I 
unto  you,  that  no  man  can  come 
unto  me,  except  it  were  given  unto 
him  of  my  Father. 

66  U "‘From  that  time  many  of  his 
disciples  went  back,  and  walked  no 
more  with  him. 

67  Then  said  Je-sus  unto  the 
twelve,  Will  ye  also  go  awayl 

68  Then  Si-m5n  Pe-ter  answered 
him,  Lord,  to  whom  shall  we  go'? 
thou  hast  ^the  words  of  eternal 
life. 

69  "’And  we  believe  and  are  sure 
that  thou  art  that  -Christ,  the  Son 
of  the  living  God. 

70  Je-sus  answered  them,  *Have 

not  I chosen  you  twelve,  “and  one 
of  you  is  a devil  1 ^ 

71  He  spake  of  Ju-das  Is-ear-i-6t 
the  son  of  Sl-m5n : for  he  it  was 
that  should  betray  him,  being  one 
of  the  twelve. 

CHAPTER  7. 

1 Jesus  reproveth  the  boldness  of  his  kinsmen ; 10  goeth  to 
the  feast  of  tabernacles:  14  teacheth  in  the  temple.  40 
Divers  opdnions  of  him  among  the  people.  45  The  Phari 
sees  are  angry  that  their  officers  took  him  not. 

AFTER  these  things  Je-sus  walked 
in  GaFi-lee : for  he  would  ^t 
walk  in  Jew-ry,  “because  the  Jews 
sought  to  kill  him. 

2 "Now  the  Jews’  feast  of  taber 
nacles  was  at  hand. 

3 ‘^His  brethren  therefore  said  un- 
to him.  Depart  hence,  and  go  into 
Ju-dse-a,  that  thy  disciples  also  may 
see  the  works  that  thou  doest. 

4 For  there  is  no  man  that  doeth 
any  thing  in  secret,  and  he  himself 
seeketh  to  be  known  openly.  If 
thou  do  these  things,  shew  thyself 
to  the  world. 

5 For  ^neither  did  his  brethren 
believe  in  him. 

6 Then  Je-sus  said  unto  them,  ^My 
time  is  not  yet  come : but  your 
time  is  alway  ready.

8 Go  ye  up  unto  this  feast : I go 
not  up  yet  unto  this  feast ; *’for  my 
time  is  not  yet  full  come. 

9 When  he  had  said  these  words 
unto  them,  he  abode  still  in  Gal-i- 
lee. 

ion  But  when  his  brethren  were 
gone  up,  then  went  he  also  up  unto 
the  feast,  not  openly,  but  as  it  were 
in  secret.  _ 

11  Then  "the  Jews  sought  him  at 
the  feast,  and  said.  Where  is  he'? 

12  And  ^ there  was  much  murmur- 
ing among  the  people  concerning 
him:  for  *some  said.  He  is  a good 
man:  others  said.  Nay;  but  he  de- 
ceiveth  the  people. 

1 3 Howbeit  no  man  sj^ke  openly 
of  him  'for  fear  of  the  Je'ws. 

14  n Now  about  the  midst  of  the 
feast  Je-sus  went  up  into  the  tem- 
ple, and  taught.  _ 

15  “And  the  Jews  marvelled,  say- 
ing, How  knoweth  this  man  ^ letters, 
having  never  learned'? 

16  Je-sus  answered  them,  and  said, 
“My  doctrine  is  not  mine,  but  his 
that  sent  me. 

17  ®If  any  man  will  do  his  will,  he 
shall  know  of  the  doctrine,  whether 
it  be  of  God,  or  whether  I speak  of 
myself. 

18  'He  that  speaketh  of  himself 
seeketh  his  own  glory : but  he  that 
seeketh  his  glory  that  sent  him,  the 
same  is  true,  and  no  unrighteous- 
ness is  in  him. 

19  *Did  not  Mo-s6s  give  you  the 
law,  and  yet  none  of  you  keepeth 
the  law'?  2/ Why  go  ye  about  to 
kill  mel 

20  The  people  answered  and  said, 
*Thou  hast  a devil:  who  goeth 
about  to  kill  thee"? 

21  Je-sus  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  I have  done  one  work,  and 
ye  all  marvel. 

22  “Mo-s6s  therefore  gave  unto  you 
circumcision ; (not  because  it  is  of 
Mo-s6s,  but  of  the  fathers  ;)  and  ye 
on  the  sabbath  day  circumcise  a 
man. 

23  If  a man  on  the  sabbath  day 
receive  circumcision,  ^that  the  law 
of  Mo-sgs  should  not  be  broken ; are 
ye  angry  at  me,  because  "I  have 
made  a man  every  whit  whole  on 
the  sabbath  day'? 

24  Mudge  not  according  to  the 
appearance,  but  judge  righteous 
judgment. 

25  Then  said  some  of  them  of  Je- 
ru-sa-lgm,  Is  not  this  he,  whom  they 
seek  to  kill  *? 

26  But,  lo,  he  speaketh  boldly,  and 


Christ  in  the  t&nvple,  St.  JOHN,  5.  A woman  taken  in  adultei'y. 


they  say  nothing’  unto  him.  ^ Do  the 
rulers  know  indeed  that  this  is  the 
very  -Ohrist  % 

27  *Howbeit  we  know  this  man 
whence  he  is:  but  when  -Christ 
cometh,  no  man  knoweth  whence 
he  is. 

28  Then  cried  Je-sus  in  the  temple 
as  he  taught,  saying,  “^Ye  both  know 
me,  and  ye  know  whence  I am: 
and  ® I am  not  come  of  myself,  but 
he  that  sent  me-^is  true,  ^'whom  ye 
know  not. 

29  But  know  him:  for  I am 
from  him,  and  he  hath  sent  me. 

30  Then  *=they  sought  to  take  him : 
but  ^ no  man  laid  hands  on  him,  be- 
cause his  hour  was  not  yet  come. 

31  And  ^many  of  the  people  be- 
lieved on  him,  and  said.  When 
■Christ  cometh,  will  he  do  more 
miracles  than  these  which  this 
Tnan  hath  donel 

32  ^ The  Phar4-sees  heard  that 
the  people  murmured  such  things 
concerning  him ; and  the  Phari- 
sees and  the  chief  priests  sent  of- 
ficers to  take  him. 

33  Then  said  Je-sus  unto  them, 
^Yet  a little  while  am  I with  you, 
and  then  I go  unto  him  that  sent  me. 

34  Ye  "'shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not 

find  me:  and  where  I am,  thither 
ye  cannot  come.  _ 

35  Then  said  the  Jews  among 
themselves,  Whither  will  he  go, 
that  we  shall  not  find  himl  will  he 
go  unto  Hhe  dispersed  among  the 
^Oen-tiles,  and  teach  the  Gren-tilesi 

36  What  manner  of  saying  is  this 
that  he  said,  Ye  shall  seek  me,  and 
shall  not  find  me : and  where  I am, 
thither  ye  cannot  come  1 

37  Hn  the  last  day,  that  great  day 
of  the  feast,  Je-sus  stood  and  cried, 
saying,  * If  any  man  thirst,  let  him 
come  unto  me,  and  drink. 

38  2' He  that  believeth  on  me,  as  the 
scripture  hath  said,  ^out  of  his  belly 
shall  flow  rivers  of  living  water. 

39  (“But  this  spake  he  of  the  Spirit, 
which  they  that  believe  on  him 
should  receive : for  the  Holy  Ghost 
was  not  yet  given;  because  that 
Je^us  was  not  yet  ^glorified.) 

40  U Many  of  the  people  therefore, 
when  they  heard  this  saying,  said. 
Of  a truth  this  is  ‘^the  Prophet. 

41  Others  said,  ®This  is  the  -Christ. 
But  some  said.  Shall  -Christ  come 
out  of  Gal-i-leel 

42  S' Hath  not  the  scripture  said. 
That  Christ  cometh  of  the  seed  of 
Da-vid,  and  out  of  the  town  of  BSth- 
IS-hSm,  where  Da-vid  wasi 

43  So  Hhere  was  a division  among 
the  people  because  of  him.

1 Christ  delivereth  the  woman  taken  in  adultery.  12  Be 
preacheth  himself  the  light  of  the  world,  and  justifieth  his 
doctrine:  33  answer  eth  the  Jews  that  boasted  of  Abraham. 

JE-SUS  went  unto  the  mount  of 
01-ives. 

2  And  early  in  the  morning  he 
came  again  into  the  temple,  and  all 
the  people  came  unto  him  ; and  he 
sat  down,  and  taught  them. 

3  And  the  scribes  and  Phar-i-sees 
brought  unto  him  a woman  taken 
in  adultery : and  when  they  had  set 
her  in  the  midst, 

4  They  say  unto  him.  Master,  this 
woman  was  taken  in  adultery,  in 
the  very  act^ 

5  “Now  Mo-ses  in  the  law  com- 
manded us,  that  such  should  be 
stoned  : but  what  sayest  thou  1 ^ 

6  This  they  said,  tempting  him, 
that  they  might  have  to  accuse  him. 
But  Je-sus  stooped  down,  and  with 
his  finger  wrote  on  the  ground,  as 
though  he  heard  them  not. 

7  So  when  they  continued  asking 
him,  he  lifted  up  himself,  and  said 
unto  them,  " He  that  is  without  sin 
among  you,  let  him  first  cast  a 
stone  at  her. 

8  And  again  he  stooped  down,  and 
wrote  on  the  ground. 

9  And  they  which  heard  it,  being 
convicted  by  their  own  conscience, 
went  out  one  by  one,  beginning  at 
the  eldest,  even  unto  the  last : and 
J e-stis  was  left  alone,  and  the  woman 
standing  in  the  midst.

self, and  saw  hone  but  the  woman.

12  U Then  spake  Je-siis  again  unto 

them,  saying,  am  the  light  of  the 
world : he  that  followeth  me  shall 
not  walk  in  darkness,  but  shall  have 
the  light  of  life.  . 

13  The  Phar4-sees  therefore  said 
unto  him,  *Thou  bearest  record  of 
thyself ; thy  record  is  not  true.

them.  Though  I bear  record  of  my- 
self, yet  my  record  is  true:  for  I 
know  whence  I came,  and  whither 
I go ; but  ye  cannot  tell  whence  I

17  * It  is  also  written  in  your  law, 
that  the  testimony  of  two  men  is 
true. 

18  I am  one  that  bear  witness  of 
myself,  and  "'the  Father  that  sent 
me  beareth  witness  of  me. 

1 9 Then  said  they  unto  him.  Where 
is  thy  Father^  Je-stis  answered,  ^ Ye 
neither  know  me,  nor  my  Father : 
*if  ye  had  known  me,  ye  should 
have  known  my  Father  also. 

20  These  words  spake  Je-sus  in 
‘^the  treasury,  as  he  taught  in  the 
temple:  and  ®no  man  laid  hands 
on  him ; for  -''his  hour  was  not  yet 
come. 

21  Then  said  Je-sus  again  unto 
them,  I go  my  way,  and  *ye  shall 
seek  me,  and  shall  die  in  your  sins : 
whither  I go,  ye  cannot  come. 

22  Then  said  the  Jews,  Will  he  kill 
himself '?  because  he  saith.  Whither 
I go,  ye  cannot  come. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them,  ^Ye  are 
from  beneath ; I am  from  above : 
p ye  are  of  this  world ; I am  not 
of  this  world. 

24  *‘1  said  therefore  unto  you,  that 
ye  shall  die  in  your  sins  : * for  if  ye 
believe  not  that  I am  he,  ye  shall 
die  in  your  sins. 

25  Then  said  th^  unto  him.  Who 
art  thoul  And  Je-§us  saith  unto 
them.  Even  the  same  that  I said 
unto  you  from  the  beginning. 

26  I have  many  things  to  say  and 
to  judge  of  you : but  ^ he  that  sent 
me  is  true ; and  ® I speak  to  the 
world  thosp  things  which  I have 
heard  of  him.

and  answereth  the  Jews. 

27  They  understood  not  that  he 
spake  to  them  of  the  Father. 

28  Then  said  Je-sus  unto  them. 
When  ye  have  “lifted  up  the  Son  of 
man,  ‘'then  shall  ye  know  that  I am 
he,  and  Hhat  I do  nothing  of  myself ; 
but as  my  Father  hath  taught  me, 

I speak  these  things. 

29  And  *he  that  sent  me  is  with 
me : the  Father  hath  not  left  me 
alone ; *for  I do  always  those  things 
that  please  him. 

30  As  he  spake  these  words,  ^many 

believed  on  him.  _ 

31  Then  said  Je-sus  to  those  Jews 
which  believed  on  him.  If  ye  con- 
tinue in  my  word,  then  are  ye  my 
disciples  indeed ; 

32  And  ye  shall  know  the  tiuth, 
and  ”the  truth  shall  make  you 
free. 

33  H They  answered  him,  ?We  be 
A-bra-ham's  seed,  and  were  never  in 
bondage  to  any  man : how  sayest 
thou.  Ye  shall  be  made  free? 

34  Je-stis  answered  them.  Verily, 
verily,  1 say  unto  you,  ® Whosoever 
committeth  sin  is  the  servant  of  sin. 

35  And  “the  servant  abideth  not 
in  the  house  for  ever : but  the  Son 
abideth  ever. 

36  ^If  the  Son  therefore  shall  make 
you  free,  ye  shall  be  free  indeed. 

371  know  that  ye  are  A-bra-ham’s 
seed;  but  “ye  seek  to  kill  me,  be- 
cause my  word  hath  no  place  in  you. 

38  ‘'I  speak  that  which  I have  seen 
with  my  Father:  and  ye  do  that 
which  ye  have  seen  with  your 
father. 

39  They  answered  and  said  unto 
him,  ^A-bra-ham  is  our  father.  Je- 
§us  saith  unto  them,  *If  ye  were 
A-bra-ham’s  children,  ye  would  do 
the  works  of  A-bra-ham. 

40  *But  now  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  a 
man  that  hath  told  you  the  truth, 

which  I have  heard  of  God : this 
did  not  A-bra-ham. 

41  Ye  do  the  deeds  9f  your  father. 
Then  said  they  to  him.  We  be  not 
born  of  fornication ; we  have  one 
Father,  even  God. 

42  Je-sus  said  unto  them,  ®If  God 
were  your  Father,  ye  would  love 
me  : *for  I proceeded  forth  and  came 
from  God ; “ neither  came  I of  my- 
self, but  he  sent  me. 

43  *Why  do  ye  not  understand  my 
speech '?  even  because  ye  cannot 
hear  my  word. 

44  *'Ye  are  of  your  father  the  devil, 
and  the  lusts  of  your  father  ye  will 
do.  He  was  a murderer  from  the 
beginning,  and  '’abode  not  in  the 
truth,  because  there  is  no  truth  in 
him.  When  he  speaketh  a lie,  he 


101 


Christ  answereth  the  Jews. 


St.  JOHN,  9. 


A man  horn  blind 


speaketh  of  his  own : for  he  is  a 
liar,  and  the  father  of  it. 

45  And  because  I tell  you  the 
truth,  jQ  believe  me  not. 

46  Which  of  you  convinceth  me  of 
sinl  And  if  I say  the  truth,  why 
do  ye  not  believe  me  % 

47  ‘'He  that  is  of  God  heareth  God’s 
words  : ye  therefore  hear  them  not, 
because  ye  are  not  of  God.  _ 

48  Then  answered  the  J^s,  and 
said  unto  him,  Say  we  not  well  that 
thou  art  a Sa-mar4-tan,  and  -^hast  a 
devil 

49  Je-siis  answered,  I have  not  a 
devil ; but  I honour  my  Father,  and 
ye  do  dishonour  me. 

50  And  G seek  not  mine  own 
glory : there  is  one  that  seeketh 
and  judgeth. 

51  Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  you, 
*If  a man  keep  my  saying,  he  shall 
never  see  death.  _ 

52  Then  said  the  unto  him. 
Now  we  know  that  thou  hast  a 
devil.  ^ A-bra-ham  is  dead,  and  the 
prophets;  and  thou  sayest.  If  a 
man  keep  my  saying,  he  shall  never 
taste  of  death. 

53  Art  thou  greater  than  our  father 
A-bra-ham,  which  is  dead  and  the 
prophets  are  dead:  whom  makest 
thou  thyself? 

54  Je-stis  answered,  ”If  I honour 
myself,  my  honour  is  nothing : ®it  is 
my  Father  that  honoureth  me ; of 
whom  ye  say,  that  he  is  your  God  : 

55  Yet  ^ye  have  not  known  him ; 
but  I know  him : and  if  I should 
say,  I know  him  not,  I shall  be  a 
liar  like  unto  you  : but  I know  him, 
and  keep  his  saying. 

56  Your  father  A-bra-ham  ^rejoiced 

to  see  my  day : ’'and  he  saw  it,  and 
was  glad.  ^ ^ 

57  Then  said  the  Jews  unto  him. 
Thou  art  not  yet  fifty  years  old, 
and  hast  thou  seen  A-bra-ham? 

58  Je-stis  said  unto  them,  Verily, 
verily,  I say  unto  you.  Before  A-bra- 
ham  was,  G am. 

59  Then  “took  they  up  stones  to 
cast  at  him:  but  Je-stis  hid  himself, 
and  went  out  of  the  temple,  Agoing 
through  the  midst  of  them,  and 
so  passed  by.

AND  as  Je-sus  passed  b;^,  he  saw 
XI-  a man  which  was  blind  from 
his  birth. 

2 And  his  disciples  asked  him, 
saying.  Master,  “who  did  sin,  this

3 Je-stis  answered.  Neither  hath 
this  man  sinned,  nor  his  parents: 
“but  that  the  works  of  God  should 
be  made  manifest  in  him. 

4*1  must  work  the  works  of  him 
that  sent  me,  while  it  is  day:  the 
night  cometh,  when  no  man  can 
work. 

5 As  long  as  I am  in  the  world,  ‘*1 
am  the  light  of  the  world. 

6 When  he  had  thus  spoken,  *he 
spat  on  the  ground,  and  made  clay 
of  the  spittle,  and  he  Gnointed  the 
eyes  of  the  blind  man  with  the  clay, 

7 And  said  unto  him.  Go,  wash  ^in 
the  pool  of  Si-lo-am,  (which  is  by 
interpretation.  Sent.)  '"He  went 
his  way  therefore,  and  washed, 
and  came  seeing. 

8 H The  neighbours  therefore,  and 
they  which  before  had  seen  him 
that  he  was  blind,  said.  Is  not  this 
he  that  sat  and  begged  ? 

9 Some  said.  This  is  he:  others 
said.  He  is  like  him : but  he  said,  I 
am  he. 

10  Therefore  said  they  unto  him. 
How  were  thine  eyes  opened  ? 

1 1 He  answered  and  said,  ’“A  man 
that  is  called  Je-stis  made  clay,  and 
anointed  mine  eyes,  and  said  unto 
me.  Go  to  the  pool  of  Si-lo-am,  and 
wash  : and  I went  and  washed,  and 
I received  sight. 

1 2 Then  said  they  unto  him.  Where 
is  he  ? He  said,  I know  not. 

13  IT  They  brought  to  the  Phar-i- 
sees  him  that  aforetime  was  blind. 

14  And  it  was  the  sabbath  day 
when  Je-stis  made  the  clay,  and 
opened  his  ej^es. 

1 5 Then  again  the  Phar-i-sees  also 
asked  him  how  he  had  received  his 
sight.  He  said  unto  them.  He  put 
clay  upon  mine  eyes,  and  I washed, 
and  do  see. 

16  Therefore  said  some  of  the 
Phar4-sees,  This  man  is  not  of  God, 
because  he  keepeth  not  the  sab- 
bath day.  Others  said,  *How  can 
a man  that  is  a sinner  do  such 
miracles?  And  '‘'there  was  a divi- 
sion among  them. 

17  They  say  unto  the  blind  man 
again,  What  sayest  thou  of  him, 
that  he  hath  opened  thine  eyes? 
He  said,  ^He  is_a  prophet. 

18  But  the  Jews  did  not  believe 
concerning  him,  that  he  had  been 
blind,  and  received  his  sight,  until 
they  called  the  parents  of  him  that 
had  received  his  sight. 

19  i^d  they  asked  them,  saying. 
Is  this  your  son,  who  ye  say  was 
born  blind  ? how  then  doth  he  now

20  His  parents  answered  them  and

restored  to  sight. 


St.  JOHN.  10. 


Christ  the  good  shepherd. 


said,  Wg  know  that  this  is  our  son, 
and  that  he  was  born  blind  : 

21  But  by  what  means  he  now 

seeth,  we  know  not ; or  who  hath 
opened  his  eyes,,  we  know  not ; he 
is  of  age ; ask  him : he  shall  speak 
for  himself.  , , . 

22  These  words  spake  his  parents, 
because  nhey  feared  the  Jews  : for 
the  Je'ws  had  agreed  already,  that 
if  any  man  did  confess  that  he  was 
€hrist,  he  ^should  be  put  out  of  the 
synagogue. 

23  Therefore  said  his  parents.  He 
is  of  age ; ask  him. 

24  Then  again  called  they  the  man 
that  was  blind,  and  said  unto  him, 
•^Give  God  the  praise:  ^we  know 
that  this  man  is  a sinner. 

25  He  answered  and  said.  Whether 
he  be  a sinner  or  no,  I know  not : 
one  thin^  I know,  that,  whereas  I 
was  blind,  now  I see. 

26  Then  said  they  to  him  again. 
What  did  he  to  theel  how  opened 
he  thine  eyes'? 

27  He  answered  them,  I have  told 
you  already,  and  ye  did  not  hear: 
wherefore  would  ye  hear  it  again  i 
will  ye  also  be  his  disciples  J. 

28  Then  they  reviled  him,  and 
said,  Thou  art  his  disciple ; but  we 
are  Mo-s6s’  disciples. 

29  We  know  that  God  spake  unto 

Mo-ses : as  for  this  fellow,  we  know 
not  from  whence  he  is.  i • i 

30  The  man  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  *Why  herein  is  a mar- 
vellous thing,  that  ye  know  not 
from  whence  he  is,  and  yet  he  hath 
opened  mine  eyes. 

31  Now  we  know  that  ^ God  hear- 
eth  not  sinners  : but  if  any  man 
be  a worshipper  of  God,  and  doeth 
his  will,  him  ne  heareth. 

32  Since  the  world  began  was  it 
not  heard  that  any  man  opened  the 
eyes  of  one  that  was  born  blind. 

33  ”*If  this  man  were  not  of  God, 
he  could  do  nothing. 

34  They  answered  and  said  unto 
him,  "‘Thou  wast  altogether  born  in 
sins,  and  dost  thou  teach  us '?  And 
they  ^cast  him  out. 

35  Je-sus  heard  that  they  had  cast 
him  out;  and  when  he  had  found 
him,  he  said  unto  him.  Dost  thou 
believe  on  ^the  Son  of  Godi 

36  He  answered  and  said,  Who 
is  he.  Lord,  that  I might  believe 
on  him'? 

37  And  Je-siis  said  unto  him.  Thou 
hast  both  seen  him,  and  "“it  is  he 
that  talketh  with  thee. 

38  And  he  said.  Lord,  I believe. 
And  he  worshipped  him.

CHAPTER  10. 

1 ChHst  is  the  door,  and  the  good  shepherd.  19  Divers 
opinions  of  him.  24  Be  proveth  by  his  works  that  he  is 
the  Son  of  God. 

YERILY,  verily,  I say  unto  you. 
He  that  entereth  not  by  the 
door  into  the  sheepfold,  but  climb- 
eth  up  some  other  way,  the  same  is 
a thief  and  a robber.  , . , , , 

2  But  he  that  entereth  in  by  the 
door  is  the  shepherd  of  the  sheep. 

3  To  him  the  porter  openeth ; and 
the  sheep  hear  his  voice : and  he 
calleth  his  own  sheep  by  name,  and 
leadeth  them  out. 

4  And  when  he  putteth  forth  his 
own  sheep,  he  goeth  before  them, 
and  the  sheep  follow  him  : for  they 
know  his  voice. 

5  And  a stranger  will  they  not 
follow,  but  will  flee  from  him: 
for  they  know  not  the  voice  of 
strangers. 

6  This  parable  spake  Je-siis  unto 
them:  but  they  understood  not 
what  things  they  were  which  he 
spake  unto  them. 

7  Then  said  Je-siis  unto  them 
again.  Verily,  verily,  I say  unto 
you,  I am  the  door  of  the  sheep. 

8  All  that  ever  came  before  me 
are  thieves  and  robbers : but  the 
sheep  did  not  hear  them. 

9  G am  the  door : by  me  if  any 
man  enter  in,  he  shall  be  saved, 
and  shall  go  in  and  out,  and  find 
pasture.  , . 

10  The  thief  cometh  not,  but  for 
to  steal,  and  to  kill,  and  to  destroy : 
I am  come  that  they  might  have 
life,  and  that  they  might  have  it 
more  abundantly.  , , , , , 

11  G am  the  good  shepherd:  Hie 
good  shepherd  giveth  his  life  for 
th©  sli00p 

12  But  he  that  is  an  hireling, 
and  not  the  shepherd,  whose  own 
the  sheep  are  not,  seeth  the  wolf 
coming,  and  ^leaveth  the  sheep, 
and  fleeth:  and  the  wolf  catcheth 
therm  and  scattereth  the  sheep. 

13  The  hireling  fleeth,  because  he 
is  an  hireling,  and  careth  not  for 
the  sheep.

16  And  •''other  sheep  I have,  which

22  H And  it  was  at  Je-ru-sa-lem 
the  feast  of  the  dedication,  and  it 
was  winter. 

23  And  Je-siis  walked  in  the  tem- 
ple ‘^in  S5l-5-m6n’s  porch^ 

24  Then  came  the  Jews  round 
about  him,  and  said  unto  him. 
How  long  dost  thou  Wake  us  to 
doubt  "?  If  thou  be  the  -Christ,  tell 
us  plainly. 

25  Je-siis  answered  them,  I told 
you,  and  ye  believed  not : ^the 
works  that  I do  in  my  Father’s 
name,  they  bear  witness  of  me. 

26  But  '"ye  believe  not,  because 
ye  are  not  of  my  sheep,  as  I said 
unto  you. 

27  *My  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and 
I know  them,  and  they  follow 
me : 

28  And  I give  unto  them  eternal 
life ; and  *they  shall  never  perish, 
neither  shall  any  man  pluck  them 
out  of  my  hand. 

29  “"My  Father,  “which  gave  them 
me,  is  greater  than  all ; and  no 
man  is  able  to  pluck  them  out  of 
my  Father’s  hand. 

30  ^ I and  my  F^her  are  one. 

31  Then  ^the  JWs  took  up  stones 
again  to  stone  him. 

32  JeWs  answered  them.  Many 
good  works  have  I shewed  you 
from  my  Father ; for  which  of 
those  work^  do  ye  stone  me  % 

33  The  Je'ws  answered  him,  say- 
ing, For  a good  work  we  stone  thee 
not ; but  for  blasphemy ; and  be-

cause  that  thou,  being  a man, 
Wakest  thyself  God. 

34  Je-stis  answered  them,  ‘*Is  it 
not  written  in  your  law,  I said.  Ye 
are  gods'? 

35  If  he  called  them  gods,  ^unto 
whom  the  word  of  God  came,  and 
the  scripture  cannot  be  broken ; 

36  Say  ye  of  him,  ‘whom  the  Fa- 
ther hath  sanctified,  and  *sent  into 
the  world.  Thou  blasphemest ; *be- 
cause  I said,  I am  “the  Son  of  God '? 

37  ‘'If  I do  not  the  works  of  my 
Father,  believe  me  not. 

38  But  if  I do,  though  ye  believe 
not  me,  -^believe  the  works : that  ye 
may  know;,  and  believe,  ’’that  the 
Father  is  in  me,  and  I in  him. 

39  ‘'Therefore  they  sought  again 
to  take  him  : but  he  escaped  out  of 
their  hand, 

40  And  went  away  again  beyond 
Jdr-dan  into  the  place  ^ where  J6hn 
at  first  baptized ; and  there  he 
abode. 

41  And  many  resorted  unto  him, 
and  said,  John  did  no  miracle  : ^but 
all  things  that  John  spake  of  this 
man  were  true. 

42  “And  many  believed  on  him 
there. 

CHAPTEB  11. 

1 Christ  raiseth  Lazarus.  45  Many  Jews  believe.  47  Ths 

high  priests  and  Pharisees  take  counsel  against  Christ. 

49  Caiaphas  prophesieth.  54  Jesus  hideth  himself.  55 

The  Jews  lay  wait  for  him. 

l^OW  a certain  man  was  sick, 
ly  named  Laz-a-rus,  of  Beth-a-ny, 
the  town  of  “MaYy  and  her  sister 
Mar-tha. 

2 (•''It  was  that  Ma-ry  which  a 
nointed  the  Lord  with  ointment, 
and  wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair, 
whose  brother  Laz-a-rtis  was  sick.) 

3 Therefore  his  sisters  sent  unto 
him,  saying.  Lord,  behold,  he  whom 
thou  lovest  is  sick. 

4 When  Je-sus  heard  that,  he  said. 
This  sickness  is  not  unto  death, 
^but  for  the  glory  of  God,  that  the 
Son  of  God  might  be  glorified 
thereby. 

5 Now  Je-sus  loved  Mar-tha,  and 
her  sister,  and  Laz-a-riis. 

6 When  he  had  heard  therefore 
that  he  was  sick,  "he  abode  two 
days  still  in  the  same  place  where 
he  was. 

7 Then  after  that  saith  he  to  his 
disciples.  Let  us  go  into  Ju-dae-a 
again. 

8 His  disciple^  say  unto  him. 
Master,  '‘the  Jews  of  late  sought 
to  stone  thee ; and  goest  thou 
thither  again"? 

9 Je-sus  answered.  Are  there  not 
twelve  hours  in  the  day"?  "If  any 
man  walk  in  the  day,  he  stumbleth 


104

St.  JOHN,  11.

not,  because  he  seeth  the  light  of 

this  world. 

10  But  "if  a man  walk  in  the  night, 
he  stumbleth,  because  there  is  no 
light  in  him. 

11  These  things  said  he:  and  alter 
that  he  saith  unto  them,  Our  friend 
Laz-a-rus  ^sleepeth ; but  I go,  that 
I may  awake  him  out  of  sleep. 

12  Then  said  his  disciples.  Lord, 
if  he  sleep,  he  shall  do  well.  . 

13  Howbeit  Je-sus  spake  of  his 
death:  but  they  thought  that  he 
had  spoken  of  taking  of  rest  in 
sleep. 

14  then  said  Je-sus  unto  them 
plainly,  Laz-a-rus  is  dead. 

15  And  I am  glad  for  your  sakes 

that  I was  not  there,  to  the  intent 
ye  may  believe;  nevertheless  let 
us  go  unto  him.  . 

16  Then  said  Thbm-as,  which  is 
called  Did-y-mtis,  unto  his  fellow- 
disciples,  Let  us  also  go,  that  we 
may  die  with  him.  _ 

1 7 Then  when  J e-sus  came,  he 
found  that  he  had  lain  in  the  grave 
four  days  already. 

18  Now  Beth-a-ny  was  nigh  unto 
Jg-ru-sa-lem,  ^ about  fifteen  furlongs 
off: 

19  And  many  of  the  Jews  came  to 
Mar-tha  and  Ma-ry,  to  comfort  them 
concerning  their  brother. 

20  Then  Mar-tha,  as  soon  as  she 
heard  that  Je-stis  was  coming,  went 
and  met  him : but  Mah^y  sat  still 
in  the  house. 

21  Then  said  Mar-tha  unto  Je-siis, 
Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here,  my 
brother  had  not  died. 

22  But  I know,  that  even  now, 
^whatsoever  thou  wilt  ask  of  God, 
God  will  give  it  thee. 

23  Je-stis  saith  unto  her.  Thy  bro- 
ther shall  rise  again. 

24  Mar-tha  saith  unto  him,  know 
that  he  shall  rise  again  in  the  resur- 
rection at  the  last  day. 

25  Je-sus  said  unto  her,  l am  Hhe 
resurrection,  and  the  "^life:  ”he 
that  believeth  in  me,  though  he 
were  dead,  yet  shall  he  live : 

26  And  whosoever  liveth  and  be- 
lieveth in  me  shall  never  die.  Be- 
lievest  thou  this 

27  She  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord  : 
believe  that  thou  art  the  -Christ, 

the  Son  of  God,  which  should  come 
into  the  world. 

28  And  when  she  had  so  said^  she 
went  her  way,  and  called  Mab’y  her 
sister  secretly,  saying.  The  Master 
is  come,  and  calleth  for  thee. 

29  As  soon  as  she  heard  that,^  she 
arose  quickly,  and  came  unto  him. 

30  Now  Je-§us  was  not  yet  come

into  the  town,  but  was  in  that  place 

where  Mar-tha  met  him. 

31  *The  Jelvs  then  which  were 
with  her  in  the  house,  and  com- 
forted her,  when  they  saw  Ma-ry, 
that  she  rose  up  hastily  and  went 
out,  followed  her,  saying.  She  goeth 
unto  the  grave  to  weep  there. 

32  Then  when  Ma-ry  was  come 
where  Je-siis  was,  and  saw  him,  she 
fell  down  at  his  feet,  saying  unto 
him,  ‘^Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here, 
my  brother  had  not  died. 

33  When  Je-sus  therefore  saw  her 
weeping,  and  the  Jews  also  weeping 
which  came  with  her,  he  groaned 

u the  spirit,  and  ^was  troubled, 

34  And  said,  Where  have  ye  laid 
him'?  They  said  unto  him.  Lord, 
come  and  see 

35  ® Je-stis  wept. 

36  Then  said  the  Jews,  Behold 

how  he  loved  him  ! . , ^ i 

37  And  some  of  them  said.  Could 
not  this  man,  •'^which  opened  the 
eyes  of  the  blind,  have  caused  that 
even  this  man  should  not  have  diedi 

38  Je-sus  therefore  again  groaning 
in  himself  cometh  to  the  grave.  It 
was  a cave,  and  a stone  lay  upon  it. 

39  Je-stis  said.  Take  ye  away  the 
stone.  Mar-tha,  the  sister  of  him 
that  was  dead,  saith  unto  him, 
Lord,  by  this  time  he  stinketh : for 
he  hath  been  dead  four  days. 

40  Je-stis  saith  unto  her,  Said  I not 
unto  thee,  that,  if  thou  wouldest 
believe,  thou  shouldest  ^see  the 
glory  of  Godi 

41  Then  they  took  away  the  stone 
from  the  'place  where  the  dead  was 
laid.  And  Je-stis  lifted  up  his  eyes, 
and  said,  Father,  I thank  thee  that 
thou  hast  heard  me. 

42  And  I knew  that  thou  hearest 
me  always:  but  ^because  of  the 
people  which  stand  by  I said 
that  they  may  believe  that  thou 
hast  sent  me. 

43  And  when  he  thus  had  spoken, 
he  cried  with  a loud  voice,  Laz-a- 
riis,  come  forth. 

44  And  he  that  was  dead  came 
forth,  bound  hand  and  foot  with 
graveclothes : and  ®his  face  was 
bound  about  with  a napkin.  Je- 
sus saith  unto  them.  Loose  him, 
and  let  him  go. 

45  Then  many  of  the  Jew?  which 
came  to  Mah*y,  ’and  had  seen  the 
things  which  Je-§us  did,  believed 
on  him. 

46  But  some  of  them  went  their 
ways  to  the  Phar-i-sees,  and  told 
them  what  things  Je-siis  had  done. 
. 47  ^ ’’Then  gathered  the  chief 
priests  and  the  Phar-i-see§  a coun- 


105 


Caiaphas  prophesieth. 


St.  JOHN,  12. 


Christ’s  entry  into  Jerusalem. 


cil,  and  said,  “What  do  we  % for  this 
man  doeth  many  miracles. 

48  If  we  let  him  thus  alone,  all 
men  will  believe  on  him:  and  the 
Ro-mans  shall  come  and  take  away 
both  our  place  and  nation. 

49  And  one  of  them,  named  ^-Oa- 
ia-phas,  being  the  high  priest  that 
same  year,  said  unto  them.  Ye 
know  nothing  at  all, 

50  Nor  consider  that  it  is  expedi- 
ent for  us,  that  one  man  should  die 
for  the  people,  and  that  the  whole 
nation  perish  not. 

51  And  this  spake  he  not  of  him- 
self : but  being  high  priest  that 
year,  he  prophesied  that  Je-siis 
should  die  for  that  nation ; 

52  And  -^not  for  that  nation  only, 
^but  that  also  he  should  gather  to- 
gether in  one  the  children  of  God 
that  were  scattered  abroad. 

53  Then  from  that  day  forth  they 
took  counsel  together  for  to  put 
him  to  death. 

54  Je-sus  * therefore  walked  no 
more  openly  among  the  J^s ; but 
went  thence  unto  a country  near  to 
the  wilderness,  into  a city  called 
”E-phra-ini,  and  there  continued 
with  his  disciples. 

55  H "And  the  Jews’  passover  was 
nigh  at  hand  : and  manjr  went  out 
of  the  country  up  to  Je-ru-sa-lem 
before  the  passover,  to  purify  them- 
selves. 

56  5 Then  sought  they  for  Je-siis, 
and  spake  among  themselves,  as 
they  stood  in  the  temple.  What 
think  ye,  that  he  will  not  come  to 
the  feast  % 

57  Now  both  the  chief  priests  and 
the  Phar-i-sees  had  given  a com- 
mandment, that,  if  any  man  knew 
where  he  were,  he  should  shew  it, 
that  they  might  take  him.

Then  Je-sus  six  days  before  the

* where  Laz-a-rus  was  which  had 
been  dead,  whom  he  raised  from 
the  dead. 

2 “There  they  made  him  a supper ; 
and  Mar-tha  served  : but  Laz-a-rus 
was  one  of  them  that  sat  at  the 
table  with  him. 

3 Then  took  ‘^Ma-ry  a pound  of 
ointment  of  spikenard,  very  costly, 
and  anointed  the  feet  of  Je-sus,  and 
wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair  : and 
the  house  was  filled  with  the  odour 
of  the  ointment.

4 Then  saith  one  of  his  disciples, 
J u-das  ls-ear4-5t,  Si-mon’s  son, 
which  should  betray  him, 

5 Why  was  not  this  ointment  sold 
for  three  hundred  pence,  and  given 
to  the  poor? 

6 This  he  said,  not  that  he  cared 

poor ; but  because  he  was 
a thief,  and  ®had  the  bag,  and  bare 
what  was  j)ut  therein. 

7 Then  said  Je-sus,  Let  her  alone : 
against  the  day  of  my  burying  hath 
she  kept  this. 

8 For  ®the  poor  always  ye  have 
with  you;  but  me  ye  have  not 
always. 

9 Much  people  of  the  Jews  there- 
fore knew  that  he  was  there : and 
they  came  not  for  Je-stis’  sake  only, 
but  that  they,  might  see  Laz-a-rus 
also,  *whom  he  had  raised  from 
the  dead. 

10  H *But  the  chief  priests  con- 
sulted that  they  might  put  Laz-a- 
rus  also  to  death; 

11  * Because  tlmt  by  reason  of  him 
many  of  the  Jews  went  away,  and 
believed  on  Je-stis. 

12  H ”"On  the  next  day  much  peo- 
ple that  were  come  to  the  feast, 
when  they  heard  that  Je-stis  was 
coming  to  Je-ru-sd-lem, 

13  Took  branches  of  palm  trees, 
and  went  forth  to  meet  him,  ana 
cried,  ^ H6-san-na : Blessed  is  the 
King  of  Is-ra-el  that  cometh  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord. 

14  ’’And  Je-stis,  when  he  had  found 
a young  ass,  sat  thereon ; as  it  is 
written, 

15  ^Fear  not,  daughter  of  Si-hn: 
behold,  thy  King  cometh,  sitting 
on  an  ass’s  colt. 

16  These  things  * understood  not 
his  disciples  at  the  first : “but  when 
Je-stis  was  glorified,  ^then  remem- 
bered they  that  these  things  were 
written  of  him,  and  that  they  had 
done  these  things  unto  him. 

17  The  people  therefore  that  was 
with  him  when  he  called  Laz-a-rtis 
out  of  his  grave,  and  raised  him 
from  the  dead,  bare  record. 

18  ^For  this  cause  the  people  also 
met  him,  for  that  they  heard  that 
he  had  done  this_  miracle. 

19  The  Pharh-sees  therefore  said 
among  themselves,  * Perceive  ye 
how  ye  prevail  nothing?  behold, 
the  world  is  gone  after  him. 

20  ^ And  there  ®were  certain 
Greeks  among  them  ®that  came  up 
to  worship  at  the  feast : 

21  The  same  came  therefore  to 
Phll-ip,  which  was  of  Beth-sa4-da 
of  GM-i-lee,  and  desired  him,  say- 
ing, Sir,  we  would  see  Je-§us.

St.  JOHN,  13. 


He  is  the  light  of  the  world. 


22  Phil-ip  cometh  and  tell^h  An^ 
drew:  and  again  An-drew  and 
Phil-ip  tell  Je-sus. 

23  11  And  Je-sus  answered  them, 
saying,  ^The  hour  is  come,,  that  the 
Son  of  man  should  be  glorined. 

24  Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  you, 
"Except  a corn  of  wheat  tail,  into 
the  ground -and  die,  it  abideth 
alone:  but  if  it  ^iie,  it  brmgeth 
forth  much  fruit. 

25  "He  that  loveth  his  life  shall 
lose  it ; and  he  that  hateth  his  hie 
in  this  world  shall  keep  it  unto  lire 

eternal.  i , i- 

26  If  any  man  serve  me,  let  mm 
follow  me  ; and  ^ where  I am,  there 
shall  also  my  servant  be : h any 
man  serve  me,  him  will  my  rather 

27  ^Now  is  my  soul  troubled ; and 
what  shall  I say  1 Father,  save  me 
from  this  hour  : *but  for  this  cause 
came  I unto  this  hour. 

28  Father,  glorify  thy  name.  ”Then 
came  there  a voice  from  heaven. 
saying,  I have  both  glorined  it,  and 
will  glorify  it  again.  . , ^ ^ j 

29  The  people  therefore,  that  stood 
by,  and  iieard  it,  said  that  it  thun- 
dered : others  said.  An  angel  spake 

30  Je-sus  answered  and  said, 

voice  came  not  because  of  me,  but 
for  your  sakes.  ^ n xu- 

31  Now  is  the  3udgment  of  this 
world : now  shall  “the  prince  of  this 
world  be  cast  out. 

32  And  I,  ^'if  I be  lifted  up  from 
the  earth,  will  draw  “all.meTi  unto 
me* 

33  *This  he  said,  signifying  what 
death  he  should  die. 

34  The  people  answered  him,  ® W e 
have  heard  out  of  the  law  that 
■Christ  abideth  for  ever  : and  how 
sayest  thou,  The  Son  of  man  must 
be  lifted  up  % who  is  this  Son  of  man  { 

35  Then  Je-stis  said  unto  them, 
Yet  a little  while  ‘^is  the  light  with 
you.  ^Walk  while  ye  have  the  light, 
lest  darkness  come  upon  you  : for 
'*he  that  walketh  in  darkness  know- 
eth  not  whither  he  goeth. 

36  While  ye  have  light,  believe  in 

the  light,  that  ye  may  be  Hhe  chil- 
dren of  light.  These  things  spake 
Je-sus,  and  departed,  and  mid  hide 
himself  from  them.  , , , , 

37  H But  though  he  had  done 
so  many  miracles  before  them,  yet 
they  believed  not  on  him  : 

38  That  the  saying  of  E-sa-ias  the 
prophet  might  be  fulfilled,  which 
he  spake,  "Lord,  who  hath  believed 
our  report '?  and  to  whom  hath  the 
arm  of  the  Lord  been  revealed  1

39  Therefore  they  could  not  be- 
lieve, because  that  E-sa-ias  said 

^40^  “’He  hath  blinded  their  eyes, 
and  hardened  their  heart ; that  they 
should  not  see  with  their  eyes,  nor 
understand  with  their  heart,  and 
be  converted,  and  I should  heal 

them.  , . . 1 -/•- 

41  These  things  said  E-sa-ias, 

when  he  saw  his  glory,  and  spake 
of  him.  . , . - 

42  H Nevertheless  among  the  chiei 
rulers  also  many  believed  on  him ; 
but  -^because  of  the  Pharh-sees  they 
did  not  confess  him,  lest  they  should 
be  put  out  of  the  synagogue  : _ 

43  '^For  they  loved  the  praise  ot 
men  more  than  the  praise  of  God. 

44  H Je-sus  cried  and  said,  *He 
that  believeth  on  me,  beheveth  not 
on  me,  but  on  him  that  sent  me. 

45  And  "‘he  that  seeth  me  seeth 

him  that  sent  me.  ^ ^ 

46  ° I am  come  a light  into  the 
world,  that  whosoever  believeth  on 
me  should  not  abide  in  darkness. 

47  And  if  any  man  hear  my  words, 
and  believe  not,  ^ I judge  him  not : 
for  came  not  to  judge  the  world, 
but  to  save  the  world. 

48  ^He  that  rejecteth  me,  and  re- 
ceiveth  not  my  words,  hath  one  that 
judgeth him:  ^the  word  that  i have 
spoken,  the  same  shall  judge  him 
in  the  last  day. 

49  For  have  not  spoken  ot  my- 
self; but  the  Father  which  sent  me, 
he  gave  me  a commandment,  *what 
I should  say,  and  what  I should 

50  And  I know  that  his  command- 
ment is  life  everlasting : whatsoever 
I speak  therefore,  even  as  the  ra- 
ther said  unto  me,  so  I speax. 

CHAPTER  13. 

I Jesus  washeth  Ms  disciples'  feet:  exhorteth  to  humility: 
34  eommemdeth  them  to  love  one  another. 

NOW  "before  the  feast  of  the  pass- 
over,  when  Je-siis  knew  that 
^his  hour  was  come  that  he  should 
depart  out  of  this  world  unto  the 
Father,  having  loved  his  own  which 
were  in  the  world,  he  loved  them 
unto  the  end.  i j 

2  And  supper  being  ended,  the 
devil  having  now  put  into  the  heart 
of  Ju-das  Is-carh-Ot,  Si-m5ns  son, 

to  betray  him ; , , , , , -n  xi, 

3  Je-siis  knowing  "‘that  the  Father 
had  given  all  things  into  his  h^ds, 
and  " that  he  was  come  from  God, 
and  went  to  God  ; i i • j 

4  ^He  riseth  from  supper,  and  laid 
aside  his  garments;  and  took  a 
towel,  and  girded  himself, 


Christ  exhorteth  to  humility. 


St.  JOHN,  14. 


He  pointeth  out  the  traiteyr 


5 After  that  he  poureth  water  into 

a bason,  and  began  to  wash  the  dis- 
ciples’ feet,  and  to  wipe  them  with 
the  towel  wherewith  he  was  girded. 

6 Then  cometh  he  to  Si-mOn 
Pe-ter  : and  ^Pe-ter  saith  unto  him. 
Lord,  “dost  thou  wash  my  feet  1 

7 Je-§us  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  What  I do  thou  knowest  not 
now;  but  thou  shalt  know  hereafter. 

8 Pe-ter  saith  unto  him.  Thou  shalt 
never  wash  my  feet.  Je-sus  an- 
swered him,  ‘'If  I wash  thee  not, 
thou  hast  no  part  with  me. 

9 Si-mOn  Pe-ter  saith  unto  him. 
Lord,  not  my  feet  only,  but  also  my 
hands  and  my  head. 

10  Je-sus  saith  to  him.  He  that  is 
washed  needeth  not  save  to  wash 
his  feet,  but  is  clean  every  whit : 
and  ‘'ye  are  clean,  but  not  all. 

11  For  he  knew  who  should  be- 
tray him ; therefore  said  he.  Ye  are 
not  all  clean. 

12  So  after  he  had  washed  their 
feet,  and  had  taken  his  garments, 
and  was  set  down  again,  he  said 
unto  them.  Know  ye  what  I have 
done  to  you  h 

13  * Ye  call  me  Master  and  Lord : 
and  ye  say  well ; for  so  I am. 

14  Hf  I then,  your  Lord  and  Mas- 
ter, have  washed  your  feet ; ”‘ye  also 
ought  to  wash  one  another’s  feet. 

15  For  ‘*1  have  given  you  an  ex- 
ample, that  ye  should  do  as  I have 
done  to  you. 

16  ^Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  you. 
The  servant  is  not  greater  than  his 
lord ; neither  he  that  is  sent  greater 
than  he  that  sent  him. 

17  Hf  ye  know  these  things,  happy 
are  ye  if  ye  do  them. 

18^1  speak  not  of  you  all : I 
know  whoru  I have  chosen : but 
that  the  scripture  may  be  fulfilled, 
“He  that  eateth  bread  with  me  hath 
lifted  up  his  heel  against  me. 

19  '‘'Now^  I tell  you  before  it 
come,  that,  when  it  is  come  to  pass, 
ye  may  believe  that  I am  he. 

20  * Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  you, 
He  that  receiveth  whomsoever  I 
send  receiveth  me ; and  he  that 
receiveth  me  receiveth  him  that 
sent  me. 

21  *When  Jefsiis  had  thus  said,  ‘'he 
was  troubled  in  spirit,  and  testified, 
and  said.  Verily,  verily,  I say  unto 
you,  that  ^ one  of  you  shall  betray 
me. 

22  Then  the  disciples  looked  one 
on  another,  doubting  of  whom  he 
spake. 

23  Now  •''there  was  leaning  on 
Je-sus’  bosom  one  of  his  disciples, 
whom  Je-sus  loved.

saith  unto  him,  Lord,  who  is  it  % 

26  Je-sus  answered.  He  it  is,  to 
whom  I shall  give  a ^sop,  when  1 
have  dipped  it.  And  when  he  had 
dipped  the  sop,  he  gave  it  to  Ju-das 
Is-car4-5t,  the  son  of  STmon. 

27  *And  after  the  sop  SaHan  en- 
tered into  him.  Then  said  Je-sus 
unto  him.  That  thou  doest,  do 
quickly. 

28  Now  no  man  at  the  table  knew 
for  what  intent  he  spake  this  unto 
him.

sus had  said  unto  him.  Buy  those 
things  that  we  have  need  of  against 
tho  feast ; or,  that  he  should  give 
something  to  the  poor. 

30  He  then  haying  received  the 
sop  went  immediately  out:  and  it 
was  night. 

31  51  Therefore,  when  he  was  gone 
out,  Je-sus  said,  ^Now  is  the  Son  of 
man  glorified,  and  '‘God  is  glorified 
in  him. 

32  *If  God  be  glorified  in  him, 
God  shall  also  glorify  him  in  him-

Whither  I go,  ye  cannot  come;  so 
now  I say  to  you. 

34  "'A  npw  commandment  I give 
unto  you.  That  ye  love  one  another ; 
as  I have  loved  you,  that  ye  also 
love  one  another. 

35  *By  this  shall  all  men  know 
that  ye  are  my  disciples,  if  ye  have 
love  one  to  another. 

36  II  Si-mOn  Pe-ter  said  unto  him, 
Lord,  whither  goest  thoul  Je-sus 
answered  him.  Whither  I go,  thou 
canst  not  follow  me  now ; but 
^thou  shalt  follow  me  afterwards. 

37  PeHer  said  unto  him,  Lord, 
why  cannot  I follow  thee  now  % 1 
will  “lay  down  my  life  for  thy  sake. 

38  Je-stis  answered  him.  Wilt  thou 
lay  down  thy  life  for  my  sake?

that  I do  shall  he  do  also ; and 
greater  works  than  these  shall  he 
do;  because  I go  unto  my  Father. 

13  ®And  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in 
my  name,  that  will  I do,  that  the 
Father  may  be  glorified  in  the  Son. 

14  If  ye  shall  ask  any  thing  in  my 
name,  I will  do  it. 

15  H ® If  ye  love  me,  keep  my  com- 
mandments. , ^ . 

16  And  I will  pray  the  Father, 
and  ^he  shall  give  you  another 
Comforter,  that  he  may  abide  with 
you  for  ever ; 

17  Even  '‘the  Spirit  of  truth; 

’whom  the  world  cannot  receive, 
because  it  seeth  him  not,  neither 
knoweth  him : but  ye  know  him  •

shall  be  in  you. 

18  "‘I  will  not  leave  you  ^com- 
fortless : will  come  to  you.

seeth  me  no  more;  but  "ye  see 
me:  « because  I live,  ye  shall  live 
also.

20  At  that  day  ye  shall  know  that 

'*1  am  in  my  Father,  and  ye  in  me, 
and  I in  you.  . ^ ^ . 

21  ‘‘He  that  hath  my  command- 

ments, and  keepeth  them,  he  it  is 
that  loveth  me : and  he  thaMoveth 
me  shall  be  loved  of  my  lather, 
and  I will  love  him,  and  wm  mani- 
fest myself  to  him.  - 

22-^Ju-das  saith  unto  him,  not  Is- 
-ear-i-dt.  Lord,  how  is  it  that  thou 
wilt  manifest  thyself  unto  us,  and 
not  unto  the  world  \ , 

23  Je-sus  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  If  a man  love  me,  he  will  keep 
my  words  : and  my  Father  will  Ipve 
him,  ’“and  we  will  come  unto  mm, 
and  make  our  abode  with  him. 

24  He  that  loveth  me  not  keep- 
eth not  my  sayings : and  “the  word 
which  ye  hear  is  not  mine,  but  the 
Father’s  which  sent  me. 

25  These  things  have  I spoken  un- 
to you,  being  yet  present  with  you. 

26  But  “the  Comforter,  which  is 
the  Holy  Ghost,  whom  the  Fa^er 
will  send  in  my  name,  ®he  shall 
teach  you  all  things,  and  bring  ail 
things  to  your  remembrance,  what- 
soever I have  said  unto  you. 

27  * Peace  I leave  with  you,  my 
peace  I give  unto  you : not  as  the 
world  giveth,  give  I unto  you.  Let 
not  your  heart  be  troubled,  neither 
let  it  be  afraid.  , , -r  • i 

28  Ye  have  heard  how  “I  said  un- 
to you,  I go  away,  and  come  again 
unto  you.  If  ye  loved  me  ye  would 
rejoice,  because  I said,  "I  go  unto 
the  Father:  for  “my  Father  is 
greater  than  I. 

29  And  '’now  I have  told  you  be- 
fore it  come  to  pass,  that,  when  it 
is  come  to  pass,  ye  might  believe. 

30  Hereafter  I will  not  talk  much 

with  you:  ‘^for  the  prince  of  this 
world  cometh,  and  hath  nothing 
in  me.  , ^ , 

31  But  that  the  world  may  know 
that  I love  the  Father  ; and  ^as  the 
Father  gave  me  commandment, 
even  so  I do.  Arise,  let  us  go  hence. 

CHAPTEB  15. 

1 The  consolation  and  mutual  love  between  Christ  and  his 
members.  18  A comfort  in  the  hatred  and  persecution 
of  the  world.  26  The  office  of  the  Boly  Ghost,  and  of  the 
apostles.  . 

I AM  the  true  vine,  and  my  Father 
is  the  husbandman. 

2 'Every  branch  in  me  that  beai> 
eth  not  fruit  he  taketh  away : and 
every  branch  that  beareth  iruit,  he 
purgeth  it,  that  it  may  bring  forth 
more  fruit.  , . , ,, 

3 ^Now  ye  are  clean  through  the 
word  which  I have  spoken  unto 
4 ’’Abide  in  me,  and  I in  you.  As 


The  'mutual  love  het'wee'n 


St.  JOHN,  16. 


the  branch  cannot  bear  fruit  of  it- 
self, except  it  abide  in  the  vine; 
no  more  can  ye,  except  ye  abide 
in  me. 

5 I am  the  vine,  ye  are  the 
branches : He  that  abideth  in  me, 
and  I in  him,  the  same  bringeth 
forth  much  fruit:  for  ^without 
me  ye  can  do  nothing. 

,6  If  a man  abide  not  in  me,  -^he 
is  cast  forth  as  a branch,  and  is 
withered ; and  paen  gather  them, 
and  cast  them  into  the  fire,  and 
they  are  burned. 

7 If  ye  abide  in  me,  and  my 
words  abide  in  you,  *ye  shall  ask 
what  ye  will,  and  it  shall  be  done 
unto  you. 

8 * Herein  is  my  Father  glorified, 
that  ye  bear  much  fruit ; *so  shall 
ye  be  my  disciples. 

9 As  the  Father  hath  loved  me,  so 
have  I loved  you  : continue  ye  in 
my  love. 

10  Hf  ye  keep  my  commandments, 
ye  shall  abide  in  my  love ; even  as 
I have  kept  my  Father’s  command- 
ments, and  abide  in  his  love. 

1 1 These  things  have  I spoken  un- 
to you,  that  my  joy  might  remain 
in  you,  and  Hhat  your  joy  might 
be  full. 

12  *This  is  my  commandment. 
That  ye  love  one  another,  as  I 
have  loved  you. 

1 3 “Greater  love  hath  no  man  than 
this,  that  a man  lay  down  his  life 
for  his  friends. 

14  ^Ye  are  my  friends,  if  ye  do 
whatsoever  I command  you. 

15  Henceforth  I call  you  not  serv- 
- ants ; for  the  servant  knoweth  not 

what  his  lord  doeth  : but  I have 
called  you  friends ; Hor  all  things 
that  I have  heard  of  my  Father  I 
have  made  known  unto  you. 

16  ®Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but 
I have  chosen  you,  and  -^ordained 

a that  ye  should  go  and  bring 
fruit,  and  that  your  fruit 
should  remain : that  ^whatsoever 
ye  shall  ask  of  the  Father  in  my 
name,  he  may  give  it  you. 

17  These  things  I command  you, 
that  ye  love  one  another. 

18  Hf  the  world  hate  you,  ye  know 
that  it  hated  me  before  it  hated  you. 

19  Hf  ye  were  of  the  world,  the 
world  would  love  his  own : but 
^because  ye  are  not  of  the  world, 
but  I have  chosen  you  out  of  the 
world,  therefore  the  world  hateth 
you. 

20  Eemember  the  word  that  I said 
unto  you,  “The  servant  is  not  greater 
than  his  lord.  If  they  have  perse- 
cuted me,  they  will  also  persecute 


Christ  and  his  members.

you  ; “if  they  have  kept  my  saying, 
they  will  keep  your’s  also. 

21  But  *all  these  things  will  they 
do  unto  you  for  my  name’s  sake, 
because  they  know  not  him  that 
sent  me. 

22  ®If  I had  not  come  and  spoken 
unto  them,  they  had  not  had  sin : 
®but  now  they  have  no  ^cloke  for 
their  sin. 

23  S' He  that  hateth  me  hateth  my 
± ather  also. 

24  If  I had  not  done  among  them 
the  works  which  none  other  man 

did,  they  had  not  had  sin  : but  now 
have  they  both  seen  and  hated  both 
me  and  my  Father. 

25  But  this  cometh  to  pass,  that 
the  word  might  be  fulfilled  that  is 
written  in  their  law,  ’“They  hated 
me  without  a cause. 

26  “But  when  the  Comforter  is 
come,  whom  I will  send  unto  you 
froni  the  Father,  even  the  Spirit  of 
Huth,  which  proceedeth  from  the 
Father,  ^he  shall  testify  of  me : 

27  And  '^ye  also  shall  bear  wit- 
ness, .because  ’’ye  have  been  with 
me  from  the  beginning. 

CHAPTER  16. 

1 Christ  comforteth  his  disciples  against  tribulation  by  the, 
promise  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  Sec. : 23  assureth  their  prayers 
to  be  acceptable  to  his  Father.  33  Peace  in  Christ,  and 
in  the  world  affliction, 

These  things  have  I spoken 
unto  you,  that  ye  * should  not 
be  offended. 

2  ^They  shall  put  you  out  of  the 
synagogues  : yea,  the  time  cometh, 
“that  whosoever  killeth  you  will 
think  that  he  doeth  God  service. 

3  And  Hhese  things  will  they  do 
unto  you,  because  they  have  not 
known  the  Father,  nor  me. 

4  But  these  things  have  I told 
you,  that  when  the  time  shall  come, 
ye  may  remember  that  I told  you 
of  them..  And  these  things  I said 
not  unto  you  at  the  beginning,  be- 
cause I was  with  you. 

5  But  now  ^I  go  my  way  to  him 
that  sent  me ; and  none  of  you  ask- 
eth  me.  Whither  goest  thou  1 
6 But  because  I have  said  these 
things  unto  you,  sorrow  hath  filled 
your  heart. 

7  Nevertheless  I tell  you  the  truth ; 
It  is  expedient  for  you  that  I go 
away : for  if  I go  not  away,  ^ the 
Comforter  will  not  come  unto  you ; 
but  “if  I depart,  I will  send  him 
unto  you. 

8  And  when  he  is  come,  he  will 
^reprove  the  world  of  sin,  and  of 
righteousness,  and  of  judgment : 

9  ^Of  sin,  because  the.v  believe 
not  on  me; 


Christ  intimateth  his  deaths St.  JOHN,  17. 


resurrection,  and  ascension. 


10  “Of  righteousness,  ** because  I 
go  to  my  Father,  and  ye  see  me  no 

11  ‘^’Of  judgment,  because  nhe 
prince  of  this  world  is  judged. 

12  1 have  yet  many  things  to  say 
unto  you,  ®but  ye  cannot  bear  them 

^13^’Howbeit  when  he,  -^the  Spirit 
of  truth,  is  come,  ^ he  will  guide 
you  into  all  truth  ; for  he  shall  not 
speak  of  himself ; but  whatsoever 
he  shall  hear,  that  shall  he  speak: 
and  he  will  shew  you  things  to 
come.  „ . , 

14  He  shall  glorify  me:  for  he 

shall  receive  of  mine,  and  shall 
shew  it  unto  you.  , , . ^ , 

15  ^All  things  that  the  Father 
hath  are  mine:  therefore  said  I, 
that  he  shall  take  of  mine,  and 
shall  shew  it  unto  you. 

1 6 A little  while,  and  ye  shall  not 
see  me:  and  again,  a little  while, 
and  ye  shall  see  me,  ‘'because  I go 
to  the  Father. 

17  Then  said  some  of  his  disciples 
among  themselves,  What  is  this 
that  he  saith  unto  us,  A little  while, 
and  ye  shall  not  see  me  : and  again, 
a little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  rne  : 
and.  Because  I go  to  the  Father  1 _ 

18  They  said  therefore.  What  is 
this  that  he  saith,  A little  whiled 
we  cannot  tell  what  he  saith. 

19  Now  Je-sus  knew  that  they 
were  desirous  to  ask  him,  and  said 
unto  them.  Do  ye  enquire  among 
yourselves  of  that  I said,  A little 
while,  and  ye  shall  not  see  me : and 
again,  a little  while,  and  ye  shall 
see  mel 

20  Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  you. 
That  ye  shall  weep  and  lament,  but 
the  world  shall  rejoice  : and  ye  shall 
be  sorrowful,  but  your  sorrow  shall 
be  turned  into  joy. 

21  ^A  woman  when  she  is  in 
travail  hath  sorrow,  because  her 
hour  is  come:  but  as  soon  as  she 
is  delivered  of  the  child,  she  ^ re- 
membereth  no  more  the  anguish, 
for  joy  that  a man  is  born  into  the 
world. 

22  And  ye  now  therefore  have 
sorrow : but  I will  see  you  again, 
and  ®'your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and 
your  joy  no  man  taketh  from 
you. 

23  And  in  that  day  ye  shall  ask 
me  nothing.  * Verily,  verily,  I say 
unto  you.  Whatsoever  ye  shall  ask 
the  Father  in  my  name,  he  will 
give  it  you. 

24  Hitherto  have  ye  asked  nothing 
in  my  name : ask,  and  ye  shall  re- 
ceive, ”that  your  joy  may  be  full.

I will  pray  the  Father  for  you  : 

27  ^For  the  Father  himself  loveth 
you,  because  ye  have  loved  me,  and

29  His  disciples  said  unto  mm, 
Lo,  now  speakest  thou  plainly,  and 
speakest  no  ^proverb. 

30  Now  are  we  sure  that  "‘thou 
knowest  all  things,  and  needest  not 
that  any  man  should  ask  thee : by 
this  "we  believe  that  thou  earnest 
forth  from  God.

now  believe  1 

32  ^Behold,  the  hour  cometh,  yea, 

is  now  come,  that  ye  shall  be  scat- 
tered, every  man  to  “^his  own,  and 
shall  leave  me  alone : and  " yet  I 
am  not  alone,  because  the  Father  is 
with  me.  = 

33  These  things  I have  spoken 
unto  you,  that  Hn  me  ye  might 
have  peace.  ^ In  the  world  ye  shall

CHAPTER  17. 

1 Christ  prayeth  to  his  Father  to  glorify  him,  6 to  preserve 
his  apostles,  20  and  all  other  believers. 

These  words  spake  Je-sus,  and 
lifted  up  his  eyes  to  heaven, 
and  said,  Father,  *the  hour  is  come; 
glorify  thy  Son,  that  thy  Son  also 
may  glorify  thee : 

2  ^As  thou  hast  given  him  power 
over  all  flesh,  that  he  should  give 
eternal  life  to  as  many  “as  thou 
hast  given  him.  , < 

3  And  Hhis  is  life  eternal,  that 
they  might  know  thee  the  only 
true  God,  and  Je-sus  -Christ,  ‘^whom 
thou  hast  sent.  . , , 

4  have  glorified  thee  on  the 
earth:  have  finished  the  work 

which  thou  gavest  me  to  do. 

5  And  now,  O Father,  glorify  thou 
me  with  thine  own  self  with  the 
glory  ‘which  I had  with  thee  be- 
fore the  world  was. 

6  G have  manifested  thy  name 
unto  the  men  "‘which  thou  gavest 
me  out  of  the  world:  thine  they 
were,  and  thou  gavest  them  me ; 
and  they  have  kept  thy  word. 

7  Now  they  have  known  that  all 


Christ  prayeth  for  his  apostles.  St.  J OHN,  1 8. Judas  betrmjeth  Christ. 


things  whatsoever  thou  hast  given 
me  are  of  thee. 

8 For  I have  given  unto  them  the 
words  * which  thou  gavest  me  ; and 
they  have  received  them,  ‘'and  have 
known  surely  that  I came  out  from 
thee,  and  they  have  believed  that 
thou  didst  send  me. 

9 I pray  for  them  : pray  not  for 
the  world,  but  for  them  which  thou 
hast  given  me  ; for  they  are  thine. 

10  And  all  mine  are  thine,  and 
Hhine  are  mine ; and  I am  glorified 
in  them. 

1 1 ^ And  now  I am  no  more  in  the 
world,  but  these  are  in  the  world, 
and  I come  to  thee.  Holy  Father, 
'"keep  through  thine  own  name 
those  whom  thou  hast  given  me, 
that  they  may  be  one,  "as  we  are. 

12  While  I was  with  them  in  the 
world,  kept  them  in  thy  name : 
those  that  thou  gavest  me  I have 
kept,  and  ''none  of  them  is  lost, 
*but  the  son  of  perdition;  Hhat 
the  scripture  might  be  fulfilled. 

1 3 And  now  come  I to  thee ; and 
these  things  I speak  in  the  world, 
that  they  might  have  my  joy  ful- 
filled in  themselves. 

14  I have  given  them  thy  word; 
^'and  the  world  hath  hated  them, 
because  they  are  not  of  the  world, 
*even  as  I am  not  of  the  world. 

15  1 pray  not  that  thou  shouldest 
take  thpn  out  of  the  world,  but 
“that  thou  shouldest  keep  them 
from  the  evil. 

16  They  are  not  of  the  world,  even 
as  I am  not  of  the  world. 

17  * Sanctify  them  through  thy 
truth  : thy  word  is  truth. 

1 8 ‘^As  thou  hast  sent  me  into  the 
-world,  even  so  have  I also  sent 
them  into  the  world. 

19  And  Hor  their  sakes  I sanctify 
myself,  that  they  also  might  be 
^sanctified  through  the  truth. 

20  Neither  pray  I for  these  alone, 
but  for  them  also  which  shall  be- 
lieve on  me  through  their  word ; 

^Tlmt  they  all  may  be  one ; as 
'^thou.  Father,  art  in  me,  and  I in 
thee,  that  they  also  may  be  one  in 
us : that  the  world  may  believe  that 
thou  hast  sent  me. 

22  And  the  glory  which  thou  gav- 
est me  I have  given  them;  *that 
they  may  be  one,  even  as  we  are 
one :

The  Jews  ask  the  release  of  Barabbas. 

WHEN  Je-sus  had  spoken  these 
words,  "he  went  forth  with 
his  disciples  over  ^the  brook  Ce- 
drOn,  where  was  a garden,  into  fhe 
which  he  entered,  and  his  disciples. 
2 And  Ju-das  also,  which  betrayed 
him,  knew  the  place:  "for  Je-sus 
ofttimes  resorted  thither  with  his 
disciples. 

3 Ju-das  then,  having  received  a 
band  of  men  and  officers  from  the 
chief  priests  and  Phar-i-sees,  cometh 
thither  with  lanterns  and  torches 
and  weapons. 

4 Je-sus  therefore,  knowing  all 
things  that  should  come  upon  him, 
went  forth,  and  said  unto  them, 
Whom  seek  ye"? 

5^  They  answered  him,  Je-sus  of 
Naz-a-reth.  J e-siis  saith  unto  them, 
I am  he.  And  Ju-das  also,  which 
betrayed  him,  stood  with  them. 

6  As  soon  then  as  he  had  said  unto 
them,  I am  he,  they  went  backward, 
and  fell  to  the  ground. 

7  Then  asked  he  them  again, 
Whom  seek  ye?  And  they  said, 
Je-sus  of  Naz-a-reth. 

8  J e-siis  answered,  I have  told  you 
that  I am  he:  if  therefore  ye  seek 
me,  let  these  go  their  way: 

9  That  the  saying  might  be  ful- 
filled, which  he  spake,  -^Of  them 
which  thou  gavest  me  have  I lost 
none. 

10  *Then  ST-m5n  Pe-ter  having  a 
sword  drew  it,  and  smote  the  high 
priest’s  servant,  and  cut  off  his 
right  ear.  The  servant’s  name  v as 
Mal-chus. 

11  Then  said  Je-siis  unto  Pe-ter, 
Put  up  thy  sword  into  the  sheath : 
""the  cup  which  my  Father  hath 
given  me,  shall  I not  drink  it? 

1 2  Then  the  band  ^d  the  captain 
and  officers  of  the  J^s  took  Je-sus, 
and  bound  him, 

1 3  And  "led  him  away  to  ^An-nas

£3a-ia-phas,  which  was  the  high 
priest  that  same  year.^ 

14  “Now  -Oa-ia-phas  wa^  he,  which 
gave  counsel  to  the  Jews,  that  it 
was  expedient  that  one  man  should 
die  for  the  people. 

15  ^ ^And  Si-m5n  Pe-ter  followed 
Je-sus,  and  so  did  another  disciple : 
that  disciple  was  known  unto_  the 
high  priest,  and  went  in  with  J e-sus 
into  the  palace  of  the  high  priest. 

16  ‘^But  Pe-ter  stood  at  the  door 
without.  Then  went  out  that  other 
disciple,  which  was  known  unto  the 
high  priest,  and  spake  unto  her 
that  kept  the  door,  and  brought  in 
Pe-ter. 

1 7 Then  saith  the  damsel  that  kept 
the  door  unto  Pe-ter,  Art  not  thou 
also  one  of  this  man’s  disciples'? 
He  saith,  I am  not. 

18  And  the  servants  and  officers 
stood  there,  who  had  made  a fire 
of  coals ; for  it  was  cold : and  they 
warmed  themselves : and  Pe-ter 
stood  with  them,  and  warmed  him- 
self. 

19  H The  high  priest  then  asked 
Je-sus  of  his  disciples,  and  of  his 
doctrine. 

20  Je-sus  answered  him,  '‘I  spake 
openly  to  the  world  ; I ever  taught 
in  the  synago^e,  and  in  the  temple, 
whither  the  Jews  always  resort ; and 
in  secret  have  I said  nothing. 

21  Why  askest  thou  me'?  ask  them 
which  heard  me,  what  I have  said 
unto  them : behold,  they  know  what 
I said. 

22  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
pne  of  the  officers  which  stood  by 
* struck  Je-stis  ^with  the  palm  of 
his  hand,  saying,  Answerest  thou 
the  high  priest  so'? 

23  Je-stis  answered  him.  If  I have 
spoken  evil,  bear  witness  of  the 
evil : but  if  well,  why  smitest  thou 
me? 

24  ”*Now  An-nas  had  sent  him 
bound  unto  -Ga-ia-phas  the  high 
priest. 

25  And  Si-mhn  Pe-ter  stood  and 
warmed  himself.  “They  said  there- 
fore unto  him.  Art  not  thou  also 
one  of  his  disciples  ? He  denied  it, 
and  said,  I am  not. 

26  One  of  the  servants  of  the  high 
priest,  being  his  kinsman  whose  ear 
Pe-ter  cut  off,  saith.  Did  not  I see 
thee  in  the  garden  with  him? 

27  Pe-ter  then  denied  again : and 
’“immediately  the  cock  crew. 

28  H ^Then  led  they  Je-siis  from 
■Ga-ia-phS,s  unto  ^the  hall  of  judg-

themselves  went  not  into  the  judg-

29  Pi-late  then  went  out  unto  them, 
and  said.  What  accusation  bring  ye 
against  this  man  ? 

30  They  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  If  he  were  not  a malefactor, 
we  would  not  have  delivered  him 
up  unto  thee. 

31  Then  said  PiTate  unto  them. 
Take  ye  him,  and  judge  hmi  accord- 
ing to  your  law.  The  Jews  there- 
fore said  unto  him.  It  is  not  lawful 
for  us  to  put  any  man  to  death  : 

32  "^That  the  saying  of  Je-sus 
might  be  fulfilled,  which  he  spake, 
signifying  what  death  he  should  die. 

33  “Then  Pidate  entered  into  the 
judgment  hall  again,  and  called  Je- 
sus, and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  the 
King  of  the  Je“ws  ? 

34  Je-siis  answered  him,  Sayest 
thou  this  thing  of  thyself,  or  did 
others  tell  it  thee  of  me? 

35  Pidate  answered.  Am  I a J^? 
Thine  own  nation  and  the  chief 
priests  have  delivered  thee  unto 
me : what  hast  thou  done  ? 

36  -^Je-sus  answered,  ^My  king- 
dpm  is  not  of  this  world : if  my 
kingdom  were  of  this  world,  then 
would  my  servants  fight,  that  I 
should  not  be  delivered  to  the 
J ews  : but  now  is  my  kingdom  not 
from  hence. 

37  Pidate  therefore  said  unto  him, 
Art  thou  a king  then?  Je-stis  an- 
swered, Thou  sayest  that  I am  a 
king.  To  this  end  was  I born,  and 
for  this  cause  came  I into  the  world, 
that  I should  bear  witness  unto  the 
truth.  Every  one  that  *is  of  the 
truth  heareth  my  voice. 

38  Pidate  saith  unto  him.  What  is 
truth  ? And  when  he  had  said  this, 
he  went  out  again  unto  the  J^s, 
and  saith  unto  them,  H find  in  him 
no  fault  at  all. 

39  ”But  ye  have  a custom,  that  I 
should  release  unto  you  one  at  the 
passover : will  ye  therefore  that  I 
release  unto  you  the  King  of  the 
Jews?

ing, Not  this  man,  but  Bar-ab-bas.

the  crown  of  thorns,  and  the  purple 
robe.  And  Pi-ldte  saith  unto  them. 
Behold  the  man ! 

6 ‘^When  the  chief  priests  therefore

crucify  thee,  and  have  power  to 
release  thee'? 

11  Je-siis  answered,  *Thou  could-

me,  except  it  were  given  thee  from 
above : therefore  he  that  deliv- 
ered me  unto  thee  hath  the  greater 

12  And  from  thenceforth  PiT^te 
sought  to  release  him  ; but  the  J ews 
cried  out,  saying,  ”If  thou  let  this 
man  go,  thou  art  not  C^-sar’s  friend: 

whosoever  maketh  himself  a king 
speaketh  against  Cse-sar. 

13  U When  Pidate  therefore  heard 
that  saying,  he  brought  J e-siis  forth,

of  a skull,  which  is  called  in  the 

He-brew  Gdl-gd-tha : 

18  Where  they  crucified  him,  and 
two  other  with  him,  on  either  side 
one,  and  Je-siis  in  the  midst. 

1 9 H * And  Pi-late  wrote  a title,  and 
put  it  on  the  cross.  And  the  writ- 
ing was  jEiStrS  OF  NAZL^-RFTH 
THE  kInG'OF  the  JEW§. 

20  This  title  then  read  many  of 
the  J^s : for  the  place  where  Jb- 
stis  was  crucified  was  nigh  to  ^e 
city:  and  it  was  written  in  He- 
br^,  and  Greek,  and  Lat-in. 

21  Then  said  the  chief  priests  of 
the  Jews  to  Pi-late,  Write  not.  The 
King  of  the  Jews  ; but  that  he  said, 

I am  King  of  the  Jews. 

22  Pi-late  answered.  What  I have 
written  I have  written. 

23  H^Then  the  soldiers,  when  they 
had  crucified  Je-siis,  took  his  gar- 
ments, and  made  four  parts,  to 
every  soldier  a part ; and  also  his 
coat : now  the  coat  was  without 
seam,  %oven  from  the  top  through- 
out. 

24  They  said  therefore  among 
themselves.  Let  us  not  rend  it, 
but  cast  lots  for  it,  whose  it  shall 
be:  that  the  scripture  might  be 
fulfilled,  which  saith,  '‘They  parted 
my  raiment  among  them,  and  for 
my  vesture  they  did  cast  lots.  These 
things  therefore  the  soldiers  did. 

25  ^ ''Now  there  stood  by  the  cross 
of  Je-siis  his  mother,  and  his  moj 
ther’s  sister,  Ma-ry  the  wifie  oi  '-ble- 
O-phas,^  and  Ma-ry  Mag-da-le-ne.  ^ 

26  When  Je-siis  therefore  saw  ms 
mother,  and  the  disciple  standing 
by,  whom  he  loved,  he  saith  unto  his 
mother,  "Woman,  behold  thy  son  ! 

27  Then  saith  he  to  the  disciple. 
Behold  thy  mother  ! And  from 
that  hour  that  disciple  took  her 
«unto  his  own  hoim. 

28  U After  this,  Je-siis  knowing 
that  all  things  were  now  accom- 
plished, nhat  the  scripture  might 
be  fulfilled,  saith,  I thirst.  , » ^ 

29  Now  there  was  set  a vessel  full 
of  vinegar ; and  ‘they  filled  a spunge 
with  vinegar,  and  iiut  it  upon  hys- 
sop, and  put  it  to  his  mouth. 

30  When  Je-sus  therefore  had  re- 
ceived the  viiiegar,  he  said,  “It  is 
finished : and  he  bowed  his  head, 
and  gave  up  the  ghost. 

31  The  Je'ws  therefore,  ^ because  it 
was  the  preparation,  Hhat  thebodies 
should  not  remain  upon  the  cross 
on  the  sabbath  day,  (for  that  sab- 
bath day  was  an  high  day,)  besoimht 
Pl-late  that  their  legs  might  be  bro- 
ken, and  that  they  might  be  taken 
away. 


The  death,  burial,  and  St.  JOHN,  20.  resurrection  of  Christ. 


32  Then  came  the  soldiers,  and  a.d.  33. 
brake  the  legs  of  the  first,  and  of 

the  other  which  was  crucified  with 

him.  “ch.  19. 40. 

33  But  when  they  came  to  Je-§us, 
and  saw  that  he  was  dead  already, 
they  brake  not  his  legs  : 

34  But  one  of  the  soldiers  with 


a spear  pierced  his  side,  and  forth- 
with ®came  there  out  blood  and 
water. 

35  And  he  that  saw  it  bare  record, 
and  his  record  is  true : and  he 
knoweth  that  he  saith  true,  that  ye 
might  believe. 

36  For  these  things  were  done, 
‘^that  the  scripture  should  be  ful- 
filled, A bone  of  him  shall  not  be 
broken. 

37  And  again  another  scripture 
saith,  -^They  shall  look  on  him 
whom  they  pierced. 

38  H '"And  after  this  Jo-seph  of 
Ar-i-ma-thse-a,  being  a disciple  of 
J^siis,  but  secretly  *for  fear  of  the 
Jews,  besought  Pi-late  that  he  might 
take  away  the  body  of  Je-sus  : and 
Pidate  gave  him  leave.  He  came 
therefore,  and  took  the  body  of 
Je-stis. 

39  And  there  came  also  ^Nie-6- 
de-mus,  which  at  the  first  came 
to  Je-sus  by  night,  and  brought  a 
mixture  of  myrrh  and  aloes,  about 
an  hundred  pound  weight. 

40  Then  took  they  the  body  of  Je- 
sus, and  ""  wound  it  in  linen  clothes 
with  ^e  spices,  as  the  manner  of 
the  Jews  is  to  bury. 

41  Now  in  the  place  where  he  was 
crucified  there  was  a garden ; and 
in  the  garden  a new  sepulchre, 
wherein  was  never  man  yet  laid. 

42  ® There  laid  they  _Je-sus  there- 
fore ^because  of  the  Jews’  prepara- 
tion day;  for  the  sepulchre  was 
nigh  at  hand.

disciples.  24  TTie  incredulity,  and  confession  of  Thomas.

2 Then  she  runneth,  and  cometh 
to  Si-m6n  Pe-ter,  and  to  the  *other

saith  unto  them.  They  have  taken

and  we  know  not  where  they  have

3 * Pe-ter  therefore  went  forth,  and

the  other  disciple  did  outrun  Pe-ter, 
and  came  first  to  the  sepulchre. 

5 And  he  stooping  down,  and  look- 
ing in,  saw  "the  linen  clothes  lying ; 
yet  went  he  not  in. 

6 Then  cometh  Si-m6n  Pe-ter  fol- 
lowing him,  and  went  into  the  sepul- 
chre, and  seeth  the  linen  clothes  lie, 

7 And  *the  napkin,  that  was  about 
his  head,  not  lying  with  the  linen 
clothes,  but  wrapped  together  in  a 
place  by  itself. 

8 Then  went  in  also  that  other 
disciple,  which  came  first  to  the 
sepulchre,  and  he  saw,  and  be- 
lieved. 

9 For  as  yet  they  knew  not  the 
® scripture,  that  he  must  rise  again 
from  the  dead. 

10  Then  the  disciples  went  away 
again  unto  their  own  home. 

11  IT  ^^But  Ma-ry  stood  without  at 
the  sepulchre  weeping : and  as  she 
wept,  she  stooped  down,  and  looked 
into  the  sepulchre, 

12  And  seeth  two  angels  in  white 
sitting,  the  one  at  the  head,  and  the 
other  at  the  feet,  where  the  body  of 
J e^iis  had  lain. 

1 3 And  they  say  unto  her.  Woman, 
why  weepest  thoul  She  saith  un- 
to them,  Because  they  have  taken 
away  my  Lord,  and  I know  not 
where  they  have  laid  him. 

14  *And  when  she  had  thus  said, 
she  turned  herself  back,  and  saw 
Je-sus  standing,  and  ”knew  not  that 
it  was_  Je-sus. 

15  Je^us  saith  unto  her.  Woman, 
why  weepest  thoul  whom  seekest 
thou'?  She,  supposing  him  to  be 
the  gardener,  saith  unto  him.  Sir, 
if  thou  have  borne  him  hence,  tell 
me  where  thou  hast  laid  him,  and  I 
will  take  him  away. 

16  Je-sus  saith  unto  her,  Ma-ry. 
She  turned  herself,  and  saith  unto 
bim,  Rab-bo-nl ; which  is  to  say. 
Master. 

17  Je-§us  saith  unto  her.  Touch  me 
not ; for  I am  not  yet  ascended  to 
my  Father : but  go  to  ^my  brethren, 
and  say  unto  them,  *I  ascend  unto 
my  Father,  and  your  Father;  and 
to  ^my  God,  and  your  God. 

18  “Ma-ry  Mag-da-le-ne  came  and 
told  the  disciples  that  she  had  seen 
the  Lord,  and  that  he  had  spoken 
these  things  unto  her. 

19  H ^Then  the  same  day  at  even- 
ing, being  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
when  the  doors  were  shut  where 
the  disciples  _were  assembled  for 
fear  of  the  J^s,  came  Je-§us  and 
stood  in  the  midst,  and  saith  unto 
them.  Peace  be  unto  you. 

20  And  when  he  had  so  said,  he 


115 


Christ  avveareth  St.  JOHN,  21. to  his  disciples. 


shewed  unto  them  his  hands  and 
his  side.  “Then  were  the  disciples 
glad,  when  they  saw  the  Lord.  _ 

21  Then  said  Je-sus  to  them  again, 
Peace  be  unto  you : * as  my  Father 
hath  sent  me,  even  so  send  I you.. 

22  And  when  he  had  said  this,  he 
breathed  on  them,  and  saith  unto 
them,  Receive  ye  the  Holy  Ghost: 

23  ‘’Whose  soever  sins  ye  remit, 

they  are  remitted  unto  them ; aTid 
whose  soever  sins  ye  retain,  they 
are  retained.  ^ . 

24  H But  Th5m-as,  one  of  the 
twelve,  called  Did-y-mus,  was  not 
with  them  when  Je-siis  came. 

25  The  other  disciples  therefore 
said  unto  him.  We  have  seen  the 
Lord.  But  he  said  unto  them. 
Except  I shall  see  in  his  hands  the 
print  of  the  nails,  and  put  my 
finger  into  the  print  of  the  nails, 
and  thrust  my  hand  into  his  side, 
I will  not  believe. 

26  ^ And  after  eight  days  again  his 
disciples  were  within,  and  Tb6m-as 
with  them : then  came  J e-sus,  the 
doors  being  shut,  and  stood  in  the 
midst,  and  said.  Peace  be  unto  you. 

27  Then  saitn  he  to  Th6m-as, 
Reach  hither  thy  finger,  and  be- 
hold my  hands ; and  * reach  hither 
thy  hand,  and  thrust  it  into  my 
side : and  be  not  faithless,  but  be-

wise  shewed  he  himself.

forth,  and  entered  into  a ship  im- 
mediately; and  that  night  they 
caught  nothing. 

4 But  when  the  morning  was  now 
come,  Je-siis  stood  on  the  shore: 
but  the  disciples  ‘’knew  not  that  it 
was  Je-siis. 

5 Then  ‘^Je-sus  saith  unto  them, 

^ Child  ren,  ha ve  ye  any  meat  1 They 
answered  him.  No. 

6 And  he  said  unto  them,  -^Cast 

the  net  on  the  right  side  of  the 
ship,  and  ye  shall  find.  They  cast 
therefore,  and  now  they  were  not 
able  to  draw  it  for  the  multitude 
of  fishes.  . , - 

7 Therefore  ^that  disciple  whom 
Je-siis  loved  saith  unto  Pe-ter,  It 
is  the  Lord.  Now  when  Si-m6n 
Pe-ter  heard  that  it  was  the  Lord, 
he  girt  his  fisher’s  coat  unto  him, 
(for  he  was  naked,)  and  did  cast 
himself  into  the  sea. 

8 And  the  other  disciples  came  in 
a little  ship ; (for  they  were  not  far 
from  land,  but  as  it  were  two  hun- 
dred cubits,)  dragging  the  net  with 
fishes 

9 As  soon  then  as  they  were  come 

to  land,  they  saw  a fire  of  coals 
there,  and  fish  laid  thereon,  and 
bread.  , , x.  • 

10  Je-siis  saith  unto  them.  Bring 

of  the  fish  which  ye  have  now 
caught.  , _ 

11  Sl-mfin  Pe-ter  went  up,  and 
drew  the  net  to  land  full  of  great 
fishes,  an  hundred  and  fifty  and 
three:  and  for  all  there  were  so 
many,  yet  was  not  the  net  broken. 

12  je-§us  saith  unto  them,  ^(Jome 
and  dine.  And  none  of  the  disci- 
ples durst  ask  him.  Who  art  thou  ^ 
knowing  that  it  was  the  Lord. 

13  Je-siis  then  cometh,  and  taketh 

bread,  and  giveth  them,  and  fish 
likewise.  , , . i 

14  This  is  now  ‘’the  third  time 

that  Je-siis  shewed  himself  to  his 
disciples,  after  that  he  was  risen 
from  the  dead.  , , it-/

cause  he  said  unto  him  the  third 
time,  Lovest  thou  me  % And  he 
said  unto  him.  Lord,  “thou  know- 
est  all  things  ; thou  knowest  that  I 
love  thee.  Je-sus  saith  unto  him. 
Feed  my  sheep. 

18  ‘'Verily,  verily,  I say  unto  thee. 
When  thou  wast  young,  thou  gird- 
edst  thyself,  and  walkedst  whither

be  old,  thou  shalt  stretch  forth  thy 
hands,  and  another  shall  gird  thee, 
and  carry  thee  whither  thou  would- 
est not. 

19  This  spake  he,  signifying  ‘^by 
<vhat  death  he  should  glorify  God. 
And  when  he  had  spoken  this,  he 
saith  unto  him.  Follow  me. 

20  Then  Pe-ter,  turning  about, see th 
the  disciple  ^ whom  Je-siis  loved 
following ; which  also  leaned  on  his

THE  ACTS  OF  THE  APOSTLES. 


CHAPTER  1. 

1 Christ,  preparing  his  apostles  to  the  beholding  of  his 
ascension,  gathereth  them  together  into  mount  Olivet,  bid- 
ding them  to  expect  in  Jerusalem  the  sending  down  of  the 
Boly  Ghost.  9 After  his  ascension  they  are  warned  by 
two  angels  to  depart,  and  to  set  their  minds  upon  his 
second  coming.  12  They  return,  and,  giving  themselves  to 
prayer,  choose  Matthias  apostle  in  the  place  of  Judas. 

The  former  treatise  have  I made, 
O * Th6-5ph-i-lus,  of  all  that 
Je-sus  began  both  to  do  and  teach, 
2 Until  the  day  in  which  he  was 
taken  up,  after  that  he  through  the 
Holy  Ghost  ®had  given  command- 
ments unto  the  apostles  whom  he 
had  chosen: 

3  -^To  whom  also  he  shewed  him- 
self alive  after  his  passion  by  many 
infallible  proofs,  being  seen  of  them 
forty  days,  and  speaking  of  the 
things  pertaining  to  the  kingdom 
of  God: 

4  * And,  ^being  assembled  together 
with  them,  commanded  them  that 
they  should  not  depart  from  Jg-ru- 
sa-lSm,  but  wait  for  the  promise 
of  the  Father,  which,  saith  he,  ye 
have  heard  of  me. 

5  ”For  J6hn  truly  baptized  with 
water;  ^but  ye  shall  be  baptized 
with  the  Holy  Ghost  not  many 
days  hence. 

6  When  they  therefore  were  come 
together,  they  asked  of  him,  saying, 
*Lord,  wilt  thou  at  this  time  * restore 
again  the  kingdom  to  Is-ra-gl? 

7  And  he  said  unto  them,  ^It  is 
not  for  you  to  know  the  times  or

8 But  ye  shall  receive;^  power,  after 
that  the  Holy  Ghost  is  come  upon

to me  both  in  Jg-ru-sa-lgm,  and  in 
all  Ju-dse-a,  and  in  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and 
unto  the  uttermost  part  of  the  earth, 

9 ‘'And  when  he  had  spoken  these 
things,  while  they  beheld,  he  waa 
taken  up ; and  a cloud  received 
him  out  of  their  sight. 

10  And  while  they  looked  sted- 
fastly  toward  heaven  as  he  went 
up,  behold,  two  men  stood  by 
them  ^ in  white  apparel ; 

11  Which  also  said,  *Ye  men  of 
Gal-i-lee,  why  stand  ye  gazing  up  in- 
to heaven?  this  same  t^-siis,  which 
is  taken  up  from  you  into  heaven, 
* shall  so  come  in  like  manner  as  ye 
have  seen  him  go  into  heaven. 

12  ^Then  returned  they  unto  Je- 
ru-sa-l6m  from  the  mount  called 
dl-i-vgt,  which  is  from  J g-ru-sa-lem 
a sabbath  day’s  journey. 

1 3 And  when  they  were  come  in, 
they  went  up  ‘’into  an  upper  room,

Descent  of  the  Holy  Ghost 


mother  of  Je-stis,  and  with  his 

brethren.  _ ^ ^ 

15  And  in  those  days  Pe-ter 
stood  up  in  the  midst  of  the  dis- 
ciples, and  said,  (the  number  ot 
names  together  were  about  an 
hundred  and  twenty,)  . 

16  Men  and  brethren,  this  senp- 
ture  must  needs  have  been  fulfilled, 

which  the  Holy  Ghost  by  the 
mouth  of  Da-vid  spake  before  C9n- 
cerning  Ju-das,  ® which  was  guide 
to  them  that  took  Je-sus. 

17  For  -^he  was  numbered  with 
us,  and  had  obtained  part  of  this 
ministry. 

18  ^'Now  this  man  purchased  a 
field  with  '^the  reward  of  iniquity; 
and  falling  headlong,  he  burst  a- 
sunder  in  the  midst,  and  all  his 
bowels  gushed  out. 

1 9 And  it  was  known  unto  all  the 

dwellers  at  JAru-sa-lem  ; insomuch 
as  that  field  is  called  in  their  proper 
tongue,  A-Qel-da-ma,  that  is  to  say. 
The  field  of  blood.  . , i i 

20  For  it  is  written  in  the  book 

of  Psalms,  *Let  his  habitation  be 
desolate,  and  let  no  man  dwell 
therein:  and  ^his  ^bishoprick  let 
another  take.  . 

21  Wherefore  of  these  men  which 

have  companied  with  us  all  the 
time  that  the  Lord  Je-sus  went  in 
and  out  among  us,  , , . 

22  "‘Beginning  from  the  baptism 

of  Jbhn,  unto  that  same  day  that 
"he  was  taken  up  from  us,  must 
one  be  ordained  “ to  be  a witness 
with  us  of  his  resurrection.  ^ 

23  And  they  appointed  two,  Jo- 
seph called  ^‘Bar-sa-bas,  who  was 
surnamed  Jtis-tus,  and  Mat-thi-as. 

24  And  they  prayed,  and  said. 
Thou,  Lord,  ^ which  knowest  the 
hearts  of  all  men^  shew  whether  of 
these  two  thou  hast  chosen, 

25  ^•That  he  may  take  part  of 
this  ministry  and  apostleship, 
from  which  Ju-das  by  transgression 
fell,  that  he  might  go  to  his  own 

place.  , , . 1 i 

26  And  they  gave  forth  their  lots ; 
and  the  lot  fell  upon  Mat-thi-as ; 
and  he  was  numbered  with  the 
eleven  apostles.

where  they  were  sitting. 

3 And  there  appeared  unto  them 
cloven  tongues  like  as  of  fire,  and 
it  sat  upon  each  of  them. 

4 And  Hhey  were  all  filled  with 
the  Holy  Ghost,  and  began® to  speak 
with  other  tongues,  as  the  Spirit 
gave  them  utterance. 

5 And  there  were  dwelling  at  Je-

every  nation  under  heaven. 

6 Now  ^when  this  was  noised 
abroad,  the  multitude  came  to- 
gether, and  were  ‘^confounded,  be- 
cause that  every  man  heard  them 
speak  in  his  own  language. 

7 And  they  were  all  amazed  and 
marvelled,  saying  one  to  another, 
Behold,  are  not  all  these  which 
speak  * Gal-i-lse^ans  1

10  Phryg-i-a,  and  Pam-phyl-i-a,  in

Rome,  Jews  and  proselytes, 

11  -Cretes  and  A-ra-bi-ans,  we  do 
hear  them  speak  in  our  tongues 
the  wonderful  works  of  God. 

1 2 And  they  were  all  amazed,  and 
were  in  doubt,  saying  one  to  an- 
other, What  meaneth  this'? 

13  Others  mocking  said.  These 
men  are  full  of  new  wine.  . 

14  H But  Pe-ter,  standing  up  with 
the  eleven,  lifted  up  his  voice,  and 
said  unto  them.  Ye  men  of  Ju-dse-a, 
and  all  ye  that  dwell  at  Je-ru-sa- 
lem,  be  this  known  unto  you,  and 
hearken  to  my  words:

ye  suppose,  ‘seeing  it  is  but  the 
third  hour  of  the  day. 

16  But  this  is  that  which  was 
spoken  by  the  prophet  Jo-el ; 

17  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the 
last  days,  saith  God,  “I  will  pour  out 
of  my  Spirit  upon  all  flesh:  and 
your  sons  and  ^your  daughters  shal 
prophesy,  and  your  young  men  shal 
see  visions,  and  your  old  men  shall 
dream  dreams : 

18  And  on  my  servants  and  on 
my  handmaidens  I will  pour  out 
in  those  days  of  my  Spirit;  ^and 
they  shall  prophesy : 

19  ^And  I will  shew  wonders  in 
heaven  above,  and  signs  in  the 
earth  beneath ; blood,  and  fire,  and 
vapour  of  smoke; 


Peter's  sermon  on  THE  ACTS,  3.  the  day  of  Pentecost. 


20  “The  sun  shall  be  turned  into 
darkness,  and  the  moon  into  blood, 
before  that  great  and  notable  day 
of  the  Lord  come : 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
® whosoever  shall  call  on  the  name 
of  the  Lord  shall  be  saved. 

22  Ye  men  of  Is-ra-el,  hear  these 
words ; Je-stis  of  Haz-a-reth,  a man 
ai)proved  of  God  among  you  ® by 
miracles  and  wonders  and  signs, 
which  God  did  by  him  in  the  midst 
of  you,  as  ye  jrourselves  also  know: 

23  Him,  being  delivered  by  the 
determinate  counsel  and  foreknowl- 
edge of  God,  *ye  have  taken,  and 
by  wicked  hands  have  crucified  and 
slain : 

24  * Whom  God  hath  raised  up, 
having  loosed  the  pains  of  death : 
because  it  was  not  :^ossible  that  he 
should  be  holden  of  it. 

25  For  DaWid  speaketh  concerning 
him,  H foresaw  tne  Lord  always  be- 
fore my  face,  for  he  is  on  my  right 
hand,  that  I should  not  be  moved : 

26  Therefore  did  my  heart  rejoice, 
and  my  tongue  was  glad ; m^oreover 
also  my  flesh  shall  rest  in  hope : 

27  Because  thou  wilt  not  leave  my 
soul  in  hell,  neither  wilt  thou  suffer 
thine  Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

28  Thou  hast  made  known  to  me 
the  ways  of  life ; thou  shalt  make 
me  full  of  joy  with  thy  countenance. 

29  Men  and  brethren,  Get  me 
freely  speak  unto  you  ^of  the  patri- 
arch Da-yid,  that  he  is  both  dead 
and  buried,  and  his  sepulchre  is 
with  us  unto  this  day. 

30  Therefore  being  a prophet,  *and 
knowing  that  God  had  sworn  with 
an  oath  to  him,  that  of  the  fruit  of 
his  loins,  according  to  the  flesh,  he 
would  raise  up  -Ghrist  to  sit  on  his 
throne ; 

31  He  seeing  this  before  spake  of 
the  resurrection  of  -Christ,  ^that  his 
soul  was  not  left  in  hell,  neither  his 
flesh  did  see  corruption. 

32  This  Je-sus  hath  God  raised  up, 
whereof  we  all  are  witnesses. 

33  Therefore  “being  by  the  right 
hand  of  God  exalted,  and  ‘'having 
received  of  the  Father  the  promise 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,  he  ®hath  shed 
forth  this,  which  ye  now  see  and 
hear. 

34  For  Da-vid  is  not  ascended  into 
the  heavens  : but  he  saith  himself, 
^The  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord,  Sit 
thou  on  my  right  hand, 

35  Until  I make  thy  foes  thy  foot- 
stool. 

36  Therefore  let  all  the  house  of 
Is-ra-6l  know  assuredly,  that  God 
^hath  made  that  same  J e-siis,  whom

37  H Now  when  they  heard  this, 
*they  were  pricked  in  their  heart, 
and  said  unto  Pe-ter  and  to  the 
rest  of  the  apostles.  Men  and  breth-

38  Then  Pe-ter  said  unto  them, 
‘^Eepent,  and  be  baptized  eveiw  one 
of  you  in  the  name  of  Je-sus  -Christ 
for  the  remission  of  sins,  and  ye 
shall  receive  the  gift  of  the  Holy

and  ^to  your  children,  and  '‘^to  all 
that  are  afar  off,  even  as  many  as

40  And  with  many  other  words 
did  he  testify  and  exhort,  saying. 
Save  yourselves  from  this  untoward 
generation. 

41  U Then  they  that  gladly  re- 
ceived his  word  were  baptized : and 
the  same  day  there  were  added  unto 
them  about  three  thousand  souls. 

42  ”*And  they  continued  stedfastly 
in  the  apostles’  doctrine  and  fellow- 
ship, and  in  breaking  of  bread,  and 
in  prayers. 

43  And  fear  came  upon  every 
soul : and  ’^many  wonders  and  signs 
were  done  by  the  apostles. 

44  And  all  that  believed  were  to- 
gether, and  ‘’had  all  things  common ; 

45  And  sold  their  possessions  and 
goods,  and  ^parted  them  to  all  men, 
as  every  man  had  need. 

46  ""And  they,  continuing  daily 
with  one  accord  tin  the  temple, 
and  breaking  bread  ^from  house  to 
house,  did  eat  their  meat  with  glad- 
ness and  tingleness  of  heart, 

47  Praising  God,  and  “having  fa- 
vour with  all  the  people.  And  *the 
Lord  added  to  the  church  daily  such 
as  should  be  saved. 

CHAPTER  3. 

1 A lame  man  healed.  12  Peter  preacheth  to  the  people. 
19  He  exhorteth  them  by  repentance  and  faith  to  seek 
remission  of  their  sins. 

l^OW  Petier  and  J5hn  went  up 
Li  together  *into  the  temple  at 
the  hour  of  prayer,  ^ being  the  ninth 
hour. 

2 And  ‘*a  certain  man  lame  from 
his  mother’s  ^ womb  was  carried, 
whom  they  laid  daily  at  the  gate  of 
the  temple  which  is  called  Beau- 
tiful, -^to  ask  alms  of  them  that 
entered  into  the  temple; 

3 Who  seeing  Pe-ter  and  Jbhn 
about  to  go  into  the  temple  asked 
an  alms. 

4 And  Pe-ter,  fastening  his  eyes 
upon  him  with  John,  said.  Look 
on  us. 

5 And  he  gave  heed  unto  them. 


A lame  man  healed. 


expecting  to  receive  something  of 

^G^rhen  Pe-ter  said,  Silver  and  gold 
have  I none;  but  such  as  I have 
give  I thee  : ‘'In  the  name  oi  Je-stis 
€hrlst  of  Naz-a-r6th  rise  up  and 

7 And  he  took  him  by  the  right 
hand,  and  lifted  him  up  : and  im- 
mediately his  feet  and  ancle  bones 
received  strength. 

8 And  he  -^leaping  up  stood,  and 

walked,  and  entered  with  them  into 
the  temple,  walking,  and  leaping, 
and  praising  God.  . 

9 ^And  all  the^  people  saw  him 
walking  and  praising  God : 

10  And  they  knew  that  it  was  he 

which  ''^sat  for  alms  at  the  Beauti- 
ful gate  of  the  temple:  and  they 
were  filled  with  wonder  and  amaz^ 
ment  at  that  which  had  happened 
unto  him.  . , 

11  And  as  the  lame  man  which 
was  healed  held  P e-ter  and  J dhn, 
all  the  people  ran  together  unto 
them  in  the  porch  Hhat  is  called 
Sdl-d-mon’s,  greatly  wondering. 

12  ^ And  when  Pe-ter  saw  he 

answered  unto  the  people.  Ye  men 
of  IsYa-el,  why  marvel  ye  at  this  ( 
or  why  look  ye  so  earnestly  on  us, 
as  though  by  our  own  power  or 
holiness  we  had  made  this  man  to 
walk'?  _ . - , 

13  ^’The  God  of  A-bra-ham,  and 

of  I-saac,  and  of  Ja-cdb,  the  God  of 
our  lathers,  «hath  glorified  his  Son 
Je-sus;  whom  ye  ^delivered  up,  and 
* denied  him  in  the  presence  of  Pi- 
late, when  he  was  determined  to 
let  tiim  go.  . , , -r-r  1 ^ 

14  But  ye  denied  Hhe  Holy  One 
*and  the  Just,  and  desired  a mur- 
derer to  be  granted  unto  you; 

15  And  killed  the  ^Prince  of  life, 
J'whom  God  hath  raised  from  the 
dead  ; * whereof  we  are  witnesses. 

16  ""And  his  name  through  faith 
in  his  name  hath  made  this  man 
strong,  whom  ye  see  and  know  : 
yea,  the  faith  which  is  by  him  hath 
given  him  this  perfect  soundness 
in  the  presence  of  you  all. 

17  And  now,  brethren,  I wot  that 

^through  ignorance  ye  did  it,  as  did 
also  your  rulers.  , . , i 

18  But  those  things,  which  God 
before  had  shewed  ®by  the  mouth 
of  all  his  prophets,  that  -Christ 
should  suffer,  he  hath  so  fulfilled. 

19  H -^Repent  ye  therefore,  and  be 
converted,  that  your  sins  may  be 
blotted  out,  when  the  times  of  re- 
freshing shall  come  from  the  pres- 
ence of  the  Lord ; 

20  And  he  shall  send  Je-sus  Christ,

21  ‘*Whom  the  heaven  must  re- 
ceive until  the  times  of  f restitu- 
tion of  all  things,  which  God 
hath  spoken  by  the  mouth  of  all 
his  holy  prophets  since  the  world 
began. 

22  For  Mo-ses  truly  said  unto  the 
fathers,  ‘'A  prophet  shall  the  Lord 
your  God  raise  up  unto  you  of  your 
brethren,  like  unto  me;  him  shall 
ye  hear  in  all  things  whatsoever  he 
shall  say  unto  you. 

23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
every  soul,  which  will  not  hear  that 
prophet,  shall  be  destroyed  from 
among  the  people. 

24  Yea,  and  all  the  prophets  from 
Sam-u-el  and  those  that  follow  after, 
as  many  as  have  spoken,  have  like- 
wise foretold  of  these  days. 

25  *Ye  are  the  children  of  the  pro- 
phets, and  of  the  covenant  which 
God  made  with  our  fathers,  saying 
unto  A-bra-ham,  ''And  in  thy  seed 
shall  all  the  kindreds  of  the  earth

raised  up  his  Son  Je-siis,  ”sent  him 
to  bless  you,  °in  turning  away  every 
one  of  you  from  his  iniquities. 

CHAPTER  4. 

1 Peter  and  John  imprisoned.  5 After  Peter  boldly  avouch- 
eth  the  lame  man  to  be  healed  by  the  name  of  Jesus,  13  the 
rulers  command  them  to  preach  no  more  in  that  name. 
23  The  church  fleeth  to  prayer.  31  Mutual  love  of  its 
members. 

AND  as  they  spake  unto  the  peo- 
XX  pie,  the  priests,  and  the  ^captain 
of  the  temple,  and  the  Sad-du-gees, 
came  upon  them,  ^ 

2 “Being  grieved  that  they  taught 
the  people,  and  preached  through 
Je-stis  the  resurrection  from  the 

3 And  they  laid  hands  on  them, 
and  put  them  in  hold  unto  the  next 
day : for  it  was  now  eventide.  . 

4 Howbeit  many  of  them  which 

heard  the  word  believed ; and  the 
number  of  the  men  was  about  five 
thousand.  ,, 

5 II  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  , their  rulers,  and 
elders,  and  scribes, 

6 And  ‘'An-nas  the  high  priest,  and 
•Cada-phas,  and  J6hn,  and  Al-6x- 
an-der,  and  as  many  as  were  of  the 
kindred  of  the  high  priest,,  were 
gathered  together  at  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

7 And  when  they  had  set  them 

in  the  midst,  they  asked,  ^By  what 
power,  or  by  what  name,  have  ye 
done  this'?  . , 

8 '‘Then  Pe-ter,  filled  with  the 
Holy  Ghost,  said  unto  them,  Ye 


Peter  and  John  brought

before  the  council. 


rulers  of  the  people,  and  elders  of 
Is-ra-6l,  . ^ „ 

9 If  we  this  day  be  examined  of 
the  good  deed  done  to  the  impotent 
man,  by  v/hat  means  he  is  made 
whole ; 

10  Be  it  known  unto  you  all,  and 
to  all  the  people  of  Is-ra-el,  ^that  bj^ 
the  name  of  Je-sus  -Christ  of  Naz- 
a-reth,  whom  ye  crucified,  ‘’whom 
God  raised  from  the  dead,  even  by 
him  doth  this  man  stand  here  be- 
fore you  whole. 

11  ®This  is  the  stone  which  was 
set  at  nought  of  you  builders,  which 
is  become  the  head  of  the  corner. 

12  -^Neither  is  there  salvation 
in  any  other : for  there  is  none 
other  name  under  heaven  given 
among  men,  whereby  we  must  be 
saved. 

13  ^ Now  when  they  saAv  the 
boldness  of  Pe-ter  and  J5hn,  *and 
perceived  that  they  were  unlearned 
and  ignorant  men,  they  marvelled ; 
and  they  took  knowledge  of  them, 
that  they  had  been  with  Je-siis. 

14  And  beholding  the  man  which 
was  healed  standing  with  them, 
they  could  say  nothing  against  it. 

15  But  when  they  had  command- 
ed them  to  go  aside  out  of  the 
council,  they  conferred  among 
themselves, 

16  Saying,  ’'What  shall  we  do  to 
these  menl  for  that  indeed  a not- 
able miracle  hath  been  done  by 
them  is  * manifest  to  all  them  that 
dwell  in  Je-ru-sa-l6m ; and  we  can- 
not deny  it. 

17  But  that  it  spread  no  further 
among  the  people,  let  us  straitly 
threaten  them,  that  they  speak 
henceforth  to  no  man  in  this 
name. 

18  ^And  they  called  them,  and 
commanded  them  not  to  speak  at 
all  nor  teach  in  the  name  of 
Je-sus. 

1 9 But  Pe-ter  and  J 5hn  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  Whether  it 
be  right  in  the  sight  of  God  to 
hearken  unto  you  more  than  unto 
God,  judge  ye. 

20  -^For  we  cannot  but  speak  the 
things  which  ^we  have  seen  and 
heard. 

21  So  when  they  had  further 
threatened  them,  they  let  them 
go,  finding  nothing  how  they  might 
punish  them,  '^because  of  the  people : 
for  all  men  glorified  God  for  ^that 
which  was  done. 

22  For  the  man  was  above  forty 
years  old,  on  whom  this  miracle  of 
healing  was  shewed.

ported all  that  the  chief  priests 
and  elders  had  said  unto  them. 

24  And  when  they  heard  that, 
they  lifted  up  their  voice  to  God 
with  one  accord,  and  said.  Lord, 
‘"thou  art  God,  which  hast  made 
heaven,  and  earth,  and  the  sea, 
and  all  that  in  them  is :

agine vain  things  1 

26  The  kings  of  the  earth  stood 
up,  and  the  rulers  were  gathered 
together  against  the  Lord,  and 
against  his  -Christ. 

27  For  ^of  a truth  against  '^thy 
holy  child  Je-sus,  "whom  thou  hast 
anointed,  both  Her-Od,  and  P5n-tius 
K-late,  with  the  Gen-tiles,  and  the 
people  of  Is-ra-el,  were  gathered  to-

28  *For  to  do  whatsoever  thy  hand 
and  thy  counsel  determined  before 
to  be  done.

threatenings : and  grant  unto  thy 
servants,  ""that  with  all  boldness

to  heal ; ‘'and  that  signs  and  wonders 
may  be  done  ^by  the  name  of  ^thy

"the  place  was  shaken  where  they 
were  assembled  together ; and  they 
were  all  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Sin  of  Ananias  and  Sapphira.  17  The  apostles  again 
imprisoned : 19  delivered  by  an  angel,  &c.^ 

But  a certain  man  named  An-a- 
ni-as,  with  Sap-phi-ra  his  wife, 
sold  a possession, 

2 And  kept  back  part  of  the  price, 
his  wife  also  being  privy  to  it,  ®and 
brought  a certain  part,  and  laid  it 
at  the  apostles’  feet.  ^ 

3 ‘^ButPe-ter  said,  An-S-m-as,  why 
hath  -^Sa-tan  filled  thine  heart  ^to 
lie  to  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  to  keep 
back  part  of  the  price  of  the  landl 
4 Whiles  it  remained,  was  it  not 
thine  own"?  and  after  it  was  sold, 
was  it  not  in  thine  own  power'? 
why  hast  thou  conceived  this  thing 
in  thine  heart"?  thou  hast  not  lied 
unto  men,  but  unto  God. 

5  And  An-a-m-as  hearing  these 
words  'fell  down,  and  gave  up  the 
ghost : and  great  fear  came  on  all 
them  that  heard  these  things. 

6  And  the  young  men  arose, 
Gvound  him  up,  and  carried  him 
out,  and  buried  him. 

7  And  it  was  about  the  space  of 
three  hours  after,  when  his  wife,  not 
knowing  what  was  done,  came  in. 

8  And  Pe-ter  answered  unto  her. 
Tell  me  whether  ye  sold  the  land 
for  so  muchl  And  she  said,  Yea, 
for  so  much. 

9  Then  Pe-ter  said  unto  her,  How 
is  it  that  ye  have  agreed  together 
"'to  tempt  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord"? 
behold,  the  feet  ot  them  which  have 
buried  thy  husband  are  at  the  door, 
and  shall  carry  thee  out. 

10  "Then  fell  she  down  straight- 
wiiy  at  his  feet,  and  yielded  up 
tne  ghost:  and  the  young  men 
cnme  in,  and  found  her  dead,  and, 
ca:.-Tying  her  forth,  buried  her  by 
her  fiusDa.ud. 

1 1  ^ And  g reat  fear  came  upon  all 
the  church,  and  upon  as  many  as 
heard  the^3  things.

out  of  the  cities  round  about  unto 

Je-ru-sa-lem,  bringing  “sick  folks, 
and  them  which  were  vexed  with 
unclean  spirits : and  they  were 
healed  every  one. 

17  U *Then  the  high  priest  r9se 
up,  and  all  they  that  were  with 
him,  (which  is  the  sect  of  the  Sad- 
du-9ees,)  and  were  filled  with  in- 
dignation, 

18  "And  laid  their  hands  on  the 
apostles,  and  put  them  in  the  com- 
mon prison. 

19  But  ^'the  angel  of  the  Lord  by 
night  opened  the  prison  doors,  and 
broug^ht  them  forth,  and  said, 

20  Go,  stand  and  speak  in  the 
temple  to  the  people  ''all  the  words 
of  this  life. 

21  And  when  they  heard  that, 
they  entered  into  the  temple  early 
in  the  morning,  and  taught.  *But 
the  high  priest  came,  and  they 
that  were  with  him,  and  called  the 
council  together,  and  all  the  senate 
of  the  children  of  IshA-el,  and  sent 
to  the  prison  to  have  them  brought. 

22  But  when  the  ofiicers  came,  and 
found  them  not  in  the  prison,  they 
returned,  and  told, 

23  Saying,  The  prison  truly  found 
we  shut  with  all  safety,  and  the 
keepers  standing  without  before  the 
doors : but  when  we  had  opened,  we 
found  no  man  within. 

24  Now  when  the  high  priest  and 
”the  captain  of  the  temple  and  the 
chief  priests  heard  these  things, 
they  doubted  of  them  whereunto 
this  would  grow. 

25  Then  came  one  and  told  them, 
saying.  Behold,  the  men  whom  ye 
put  in  prison  are  standing  in  the 
temple,  and  teaching  the  people. 

26  Then  went  the  captain  with 

the  ofiicers,  and  brought  them  with- 
out violence : « for  they  feared  the 
people,  lest  they  should  have  been 
stoned.  , , , , , 

27  And  when  they  had  brought 

them,  they  set  them  before  the 
council : and  the  high  priest  asked 
them,  . - 

28  Saying,  'Did  not  we  straitly 
command  you  that  ye  should  not 
teach  in  this  name^  and,  behold, 
ye  have  filled  Je-ruGa-lem  with 
your  doctrine,  ^and  intend  to  bring 
this  man’s  *blood  upon  us. 

29  U Then  Pe-ter  and  the  other 
apostles  answered  and  said,  “We 
ought  to  obey  God  rather  than  men. 

30  "The  (irod  of  our  fathers  raised 

up  JeGtis,  whom  ye  slew  and 
‘'hanged  on  a tree.  . 

31  "Him  hath  God  exalted  with 
his  right  hand  to  he  •''a  Prince  and 


The  counsel  of  Gamaliel. 


THE  ACTS,  6,  7.  Stephen  accused  of  blasphemy. 


®a  Saviour,  *’for  to  give  repentance 
to  Is-ra-el,  and  forgiveness  of  sins. 

32 'And  ®we  are  his  witnesses  ot 
these  things  ; and  so  is  also  the 
Holy  Ghost,  «whom  God  hath  given 
to  them  that  obey  him.  ^ 

33  U -^When  they  heara  that,  they 
were  cut  to  the  heart,  and  took 
counsel  to  slay  them. 

34  Then  stood  there  up  one  in  the 
council,  a Pharh-see,  named  '"Ga- 
madi-el,  a doctor  of  the  law,  had 
in  reputation  among  all  the  people, 
and  commanded  to  put  the  apostles 
forth  a little  space  ; 

35  And  said  unto  them.  Ye  men 
of  IsYa-el,  take  heed  to  yourselves 
what  ye  intend  to  do  as  touching 
these  men. 

36  For  before  these  days  rose  up 
Theu-das,  boasting  himself  to  be 
somebody;  to  whom  a number  of 
men,  about  four  hundred,  joined 
themselves : who  was  slain ; and 
all,  as  many  as  ^obeyed  him,  were 
scattered,  and  brought  to  nought^ 

37  After  this  man  rose  up  Ju^das 
of  Gal-i-lee  in  the  days  of  the  taxing, 
and  drew  away  much  people  after 
him : he  also  perished ; and  all, 
even  as  many  as  obeyed  him,  were 
dispersed. 

38  And  now  I say  unto  you,  Ke- 
frain  from  these  men,  and  let  them 
alone:  ®for  if  this  counsel  or  this 
work  be  of  men,  it  will  come  to 
nought : 

39  *But  if  it  be  of  God,  ye  cannot 
overthrow  it ; lest  haply  ye  be  found 
even  “to  fight  against  God. 

40  And  to  him  they  agreed : and 
when  they  had  * called  the  apostles, 
*'and  beaten  them,  they  commanded 
that  they  should  not  speak  in  the 
name  of  Je-§us,  and  let  them  go. 

41  ^ And  they  departed  from  the 
presence  of  the  council,  ^rejoicing 
that  they  were  counted  worthy  to 
suffer  shame  for  his  name. 

42  And  daily  “in  the  temple,  and 
in  every  house,  ®they  ceased  not  to 
teach  and  preach  Je^us  -Christ.

should  leave  the  word  of  God,  and 

serve  tables. 

3 Wherefore,  brethren,  '^lookyeout 
among  you  seven  men  of  Honest 
report,  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost  and 
wisdom,  whom  we  may  appoint 
over  this  business. 

4 But  we  ^ will  give  ourselves  con- 
tinually to  prayer,  and  to  the  min- 
istry of  the  word. 

5 ^ And  the  saying  pleased  the 
whole  multitude : and  they  chose 
Ste-phgn,  *a  man  full  of  faith  and 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  ^Phil-ip,  and 
Pr6eh-5-rus,  and  Ni-ca-n6r,  and 
Ti-m5n,  and  Par-me-nas,  and  *Nic- 
5-las  a proselyte  of  An-ti-5ch  : 

6 Whom  they  set  before  the  apos- 
tles : and  ’“when  they  had  prayed, 
“they  laid  their  hands  on  them. 

7 And  “the  word  of  God  increased ; 
and  the  number  of  the  disciples 
multiplied  in  JAru-sa-lem  greatly; 
and  a great  company  ^ of  the  priests 
were  obedient  to  the  faith. 

8 And  Ste-phen,  full  of  faith  and 
power,  did  great  wonders  and  mir- 
acles among  i he  people. 

9 H Then  there  arose  certain  of  the 
synagogue,  which  is  called  the  syna- 
gogue of  the  Lib-er-tines,  and  Cy-re- 
m-ans,  and  Al-gx-an-dri-ans^  and 
of  them  of  Ci-li-ci-a  and  of  A-si-a, 
disputing  with  Steh>hen. 

10  And  ’’they  were  not  able  to  re- 
sist the  wisdom  and  the  spirit  by 
which  he  spake. 

11  *Then  they  suborned  men, 
which  said.  We  have  heard  him 
speak  blasphemous  words  against 
Mo-ses,  and  against  God. 

1 2 And  they  stirred  up  the  people, 
and  the  elders,  and  the  scribes,  and 
came  upon  him,  and  caught  him, 
and  brought  him  to  the  council, 

13  And  set  up  false  witnesses, 
which  said.  This  man  ceaseth  not  to 
speak  blasphemous  words  against 
this  holy  inace,  and  the  law : 

14  *For  we  have  heard  him  say, 

that  this  Je-siis  of  Naz-a-r6th  shall 
‘^destroy  this  place,  and  shall  change 
the  ^customs  which  Mo-s6§  deliv- 
ered us.  , .. 

15  And  all  that  sat  in  the  council, 
looking  sted  lastly  on  him,  saw  his 
face  as  it  had  been  the  face  of  an 
angel.

when  he  was  in  Mes-5-p6-ta-mi-a, 
before  he  dwelt  in  -Char-ran, 

3 And  said  unto  him,  ^Get  thee 
out  of  thy  country,  and  from  thy 
kindred,  and  come  into  the  land 
which  I shall  shew  thee. 

4 Then  ‘'came  he  out  of  the  land 
of  the  -Ghal-dse-ans,  and  dwelt  in 
Char-ran : and  from  thence,  when 
his  father  was  dead,  he  removed 
him  into  this  land,  wherein  ye 
now  dwell. 

5 And  he  gave  him  none  inherit- 
ance in  it,  no,  not  so  much  as  to  set 
his  foot  on : ^ yet  he  promised  that 
he  would  give  it  to  him  for  a pos- 
session, and  to  his  seed  after  him, 
when  as  yet  he  had  no  child. 

6 And  God  spake  on  this  wise, 
^'That  his  seed  should  sojourn  in  a 
strange  land ; and  that  they  should 
bring  them  into  bondage,  and  en- 
treat them  evil  ’'^four  hundred  years. 

7 And  the  nation  to  whom  they 
shall  be  in  bondage  will  I judge,  said 
God  : and  after  that  shall  they  come 
forth,  and  ’‘serve  me  in  this  place. 

8 ‘’And  he  gave  him  the  covenant 
of  circumcision:  ^ and  so  A-brd- 
ham  begat  I-saac,  and  circumcised 
him  the  eighth  day ; ^ and  I-saac 
begat  Ja-cob;  and  ’’Ja-cdb  begat 
the  twelve  patriarchs. 

9 ''And  the  patriarchs,  moved  with 
envy,  sold  Jo-seph  into  E-gypt: 
“but  God  was  with  him, 

10  And  delivered  him  out  of  all 
his  afflictions,  ‘'and  gave  him  favour 
and  wisdom  in  the  sight  of  Pha- 
raoh king  of  E-gypt ; and  he  made 
him  governor  over  E-gypt  and  all 
his  house. 

11  *Now  there  came  a dearth  over 
all  the  land  of  E-gypt  and  Cha-naan, 
and  great  affliction  : and  our  fathers 
found  no  sustenance. 

12  '’But  when  Ja-c5b  heard  that 
there  was  corn  in  E-gypt,  he  sent 
out  our  fathers  first. 

13  ‘'And  at  the  second  time  Jo- 
seph was  made  known  to  his  bre- 
thren; and  Jo-seph’s  kindred  was 
made  known  unto  Pha-raoh. 

14  ®Then  sent  Jo-seph,  and  called 
his  father  Ja-cOb  to  him,  and  •''all 
his  kindred,  threescore  and  fifteen 
souls. 

15  '‘So  Ja-c5b  went  down  into 
E-gypt,  *and  died,  he,  and  our 
fathers, 

16  And  *were  carried  over  into 
Sy-chem,  and  laid  in  'the  sepul- 
chre that  A-bra-ham  bought  for  a 
sum  of  money  of  the  sons  of  Em- 
mdr  the  father  of  Sy-chem.

and  would  have  set  them  at  one 
again,  saying.  Sirs,  ye  are  bre- 
thren; why  do  ye  wrong  one  to 
another  1 

27  But  he  that  did  his  neighbour 
wrong  thrust  him  away,  saying, 
^ Who  made  thee  a ruler  and  a judge 
over  us  % 

28  Wilt  thou  kill  me,  as  thou  did- 
dest  the  E-g.yp-tian  yesterday  % 

29  ‘'Then  fled  Mo-§es  at  this  say- 
ing, and  was  a stranger  in  the 
land  of  Ma-di-an,  where  he  begat 
two  sons. 

30  'And  when  forty  years  were 
expired,  there  appeared  to  him  in 
the  wilderness  of  mount  Si-na  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  in  a flame  of  fire 
in  a bush. 

31  When  Mo^es  sav/  it,  he  won- 
dered at  the  sight : and  as  he  drew 
near  to  behold  it,^  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  carne  unto  him, 

32  Saying,  am  the  God  of  thy 
fathers,  the  God  of  A-bra-ham,  and 
the  God  of  I-saac,  and  the  God  of 
Ja-cOb.  Then  Mo-ses  trembled,  and 
durst  not  behold. 

33  “‘Then  said  the  Lord  to  him. 
Put  off  thy  shoes  from  thy  feet: 
for  the  place  where  thou  standest 
is  holy  ground.

in  E-gypt,  and  I have  heard  their 
groaning,  and  am  come  down  to 
deliver  them.  And  now  come,  I 
will  send  thee  into  E-g;^t. 

35  This  Mo-ses  whom  they  refused, 
saying.  Who  made  thee  a ruler  and 
a judge  1 the  same  did  God  send  to 
be  a ruler  and  a deliverer  ‘'by  the 
hand  of  the  angel  which  appeared 
to  him  in  the  bush. 

36  ®He  brought  them  out,  after 

that  he  had  -^shewed  wonders  and 
signs  in  the  land  of  E-gypt,  *and  in 
the  Red  sea,  '^and  in  the  wilderness 
forty  years.  , . , 

37  H This  is  that  Mo-ses,  which 
said  unto  the  children  of  Is-ra-6l, 
""A  prophet  shall  the  Lord  your  God 
raise  up  unto  you  of  your  breth- 
ren, Hike  unto  me;  "him  shall  ye 
hear. 

38  ^'This  is  he,  that  was  in  the 
church  in  the  wilderness  with  ’'the 
angel  which  spake  to  him  in  the 
mount  Si-na,  and  with  our  fathers  : 
*who  received  the  lively  “oracles  to 
give  unto  us : 

39  To  whom  our  fathers  would  not 
obey,  but  thrust  him  from  them, 
and  in  their  hearts  turned  back 


again  into  E-gypt, 

40  ^ Saying  unto  Aar-5n,  Make  us 

ods  to  go  before  us  : for  as  for  this 

lo-sSs,  which  brought  us  out  of  the 

land  of  E-gypt,  we  wot  not  what  is 
become  of  him. 

41  *And  they  made  a calf  in  those 
days,  and  offered  sacrifice  unto  the 
idol,  and  rejoiced  in  the  works  of 
their  own  hands. 

42  Then  "God  turned,  and  gave 
them  up  to  worship  ‘'the  host  of 
heaven ; as  it  is  written  in  the  book 
of  the  prophets,  '‘O  ye  house  of 
Is-ra-6l,  nave  ye  offered  to  me  slain 
beasts  and  sacrifices  by  the  space  of 
forty  years  in  the  wilderness  1 

43  Yea,  ye  took  up  the  tabernacle 
of  Mo-l5ch,  and  the  star  of  your  god 
R6m-phan,  figures  which  ye  made 
to  worship  them : and  I will  carry 
you  away  beyond  Bab-y-l5n. 

44  Our  fathers  had  the  tabernacle 
of  witness  in  the  wilderness,  as 
he  had  appointed,  ^speaking  unto 
Mo-s6s,  ’‘that  he  should  make  it 
according  to  the  fashion  that  he 
had  seen. 

45  "Which  also  our  fathers  ^that 
came  after  brought  in  with  Je-sus 
into  the  possession  of  the  Ggn-tlles, 
^whom  God  drave  out  before  the 
face  of  our  fathers,  unto  the  days 
of  DaWid ; 

46  *Who  found  favour  before  God, 
and  'desired  to  find  a tabernacle  for 
the  God  of  J a-cbb.

47  “But  S6l-6-m5n  built  him  an 

house. 

48  Howbeit  '’the  most  High  dwell- 
eth  not  in  temples  made  with 
hands ; as  saith  the  prophet, 

49  "Heaven  is  my  throne,  and 
earth  is  my  footstool : what  house 
will  ye  build  me  % saith  the  Lord : 
or  what  is  the  place  of  my  rest? 

50  Hath  not  my  hand  made  all 
these  things? 

51  U Ye  stiffnecked  and  '‘uncir- 
cumcised in  heart  and  ears,  ye  do 
always  resist  the  Holy  Ghost : as 
your  fathers  did,  so  do  ye. 

52  'Which  of  the  prophets  have 
not  your  fathers  persecuted?  and 
they  have  slain  them  which  shewed 
before  of  the  coming  of  “the  Just 
One ; of  whom  ye  have  been  now 
the  betrayers  and  murderers : 

53  ® Who  have  received  the  law  by 
the  disposition  of  angels,  and  have 
not  kept  it. 

54  H *When  they  heard  these 
things,  they  were  cut  to  the  heart, 
and  they  gnashed  on  him  with  their 
teeth. 

55  But  he,  * being  full  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  looked  up  stedfastly  into 
heaven,  and  saw  the  glory  of  God, 
and  Je-sus  standing  on  the  right 
hand  of  God, 

56  And  said.  Behold,  see  the 
heavens  opened,  and  the  “Son  of 
man  standing  on  the  right  hand 
of  God. 

57  Then  they  cried  out  with  a 
loud  voice,  and  stopped  their  ears, 
and  ran  upon  him  with  one  ac- 
cord, 

58  And  "cast  him  out  of  the  city, 
•''and  stoned  hi^n:  and  ^the  wit- 
nesses laid  down  their  clothes  at

was  Saul. 

59  And  they  stoned  Ste-phen,  'call- 
ing upon  God,  and  saying.  Lord 
Je-sus,  '^receive  my  spirit. 

60  And  he  'kneeled  down,  and 
cried  with  a loud  voice,  ’“Lord,  lay 
not  this  sin  to  their  charge.  And 
when  he  had  said  this,  he  fell  asleep. 


CHAPTER  8. 

1 By  occasion  of  the  persecution  in  Jerusalem,  the  church 
being  planted  in  Saynaria,  14  Peter  and  John  come  to 
confirm  and  enlarge  tlm  church.  26  Philip  baptizeth 
the  Ethiopian  eunuch. 

AND  ^’Saul  was  consenting  unto 
his  death.  And  at  that  time 
there  was  a great  persecution  a- 

fainst  the  church  which  was  at 
e-ru-sa-lem ; and  ’’  they  were  all 
scattered  abroad  throughout  the 
regions  of  Ju-dse-a  and  Sa-maYi-a, 
except  the  apostles. 

2 And  devout  men  carried  Ste-phen 


Of  Simon  the  sorcerer.  THE  ACTS,  8. Philip  and  the  eunuch. 


to  his  burial,  and  “made  great  lam- 
entation over  him. 

3 As  for  Saul,  *he  made  havock 
of  the  church,  entering  into  every 
house,  and  haling  men  and  women 
committed  them  to  prison. 

4 Therefore  ®they  that  were  scat- 
tered abroad  went  every  where 
preaching  the  word. 

5 Then  ^Phil-ip  went  down  to  the 
city  of  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and  preached 
■Ghrlst  unto  them. 

6 And  the  people  with  one  accord 
gave  heed  unto  those  things  which 
Phil-ip  spake,  hearing  and  seeing 
the  miracles  which  he  did. 

7 For  * unclean  spirits,  crying  with 
loud  voice,  came  out  of  many  that 
were  possessed  with^  them:  and 
many  taken  with  palsies,  and  that 
were  lame,  were  healed. 

8 And  there  was  great  joy  in  that 
city. 

9 But  there  was  a certain  man, 
called  Si-m5n,  which  beforetime  in 
the  same  city  *used  sorcery,  and 
bewitched  the  people  of  Sa-ma-ri-a, 

giving  out  that  himself  was  some 
great  one : 

10  To  whom  they  all  gave  heed, 
from  the  least  to  the  greatest,  saying. 
This  man  is  the  great  power  of  God. 

11  And  to  him  they  had  regard, 
because  that  of  long  time  he  had 
bewitched  them  with  sorceries. 

1 2 But  when  they  believed  Philip 
preaching  the  things  -p  concerning 
the  kingdom  of  God,  and  the  name 
of  J e-sus  -Christ,  they  were  baptized, 
both  men  and  women. 

13  Then  Sl-mOn  himself  believed 
also : and  when  he  was  baptized,  he 
continued  with  Phil-ip,  and  won- 
dered, beholding  the  ^miracles  and 
signs  which  were  done. 

14  Now  when  the  apostles  which 
were  at  Je-ru-sa-lem  heard  that  Sa- 
ma-ri-a  had  received  the  word  of 
God,  they  sent  unto  them  Pe-ter 
and  Jehn: 

15  Who,  when  they  were  come 
down,  prayed  for  them,  ’’that  they 
might  receive  the  Holy  Ghost: 

16  (For  ^as  yet  he  was  fallen  upon 
none  of  them : only  * they  were 
baptized  in  “the  name  of  the  Lord 
Je-sus.) 

17  Then  "^laid  they  their  hands  on 
them,  and  they  received  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

18  And  when  Si-m6n  saw  that 
through  laying  on  of  the  apostles’ 
hands  the  Holy  Ghost  was  given, 
he  offered  them  money, 

1 9 Saying,  Give  me  also  this  power, 
that  on  whomsoever  I lay  hands,  he 
may  receive  the  Holy  Ghost.

20  But  Pe-ter  said  unto  him.  Thy 

money  perish  with  thee,  because 
‘'thou  hast  thought  that  f the  gift  of 
God  may  be  purchased  with  money. 

21  Thou  hast  neither  part  nor  lot 
in  this  matter : for  thy  heart  is  not 
right  in  the  sight  of  God. 

22  Repent  therefore  of  this  thy 
wickedness,  and  pray  God,  -^if  per- 
haps the  thought  of  thine  heart 
may  be  forgiven  thee. 

23  For  I perceive  that  thou  art  in 
^ the  gall  of  bitterness,  and  in  the 
bond  of  iniquity. 

24  Then  answered  Si-m6n,  and 
said,  ^Pray  ye  to  the  Lord  for  me, 
that  none  of  these  things  which  ye 
have  spoken  come  upon  me. 

25  And  they,  when  they  had  testi- 
fied and  preached  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  returned  to  Jg-ru-sa-lem,  and 
preached  the  gospel  in  many  vil- 
lages of  the  Sa-mar4-tans. 

26  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Phil-ip,  saying.  Arise,  and  go 
toward  the  south  unto  the  way  that 
goeth  down  from  Je-ru-sa-l6m  unto 
Ga-za,  which  is  desert. 

27  And  he  arose  and  went : and, 
behold,  “a  man  of  E-thi-o-pi-a,  an 
eunuch  of  great  authority  under 
■Gan-da-Qe  queen  of  the  E-thi-o-pi- 
ans,  who  had  the  charge  of  all  her 
treasure,  and  ‘’had  come  to  Je-ru- 
sa-lem  for  to  worship, 

28  Was  returning,  and  sitting  in  his 
chariot  read  E-sa-ias  the  prophet. 

29  Then  the  Spirit  said  unto  Phil- 
ip, Go  near,  and  join  thyself  to  this 
chariot. 

30  And  Phil-ip  ran  thither  to  him, 
and  heard  him  read^  the  prophet 
E-sa-ias,  and  said,  Understandest 
thou  what  thou  readestl 

31  And  he  said.  How  can  I,  except 
some  man  should  guide  mel  And 
he  desired  Phil-ip  that  he  would 
come  up  and  sit  with  him. 

32  The  place  of  the  scripture  which 
he  read  was  this,  ^He  was  led  as  a 
sheep  to  the  slaughter ; and  like  a 
lamb  dumb  before  his  shearer,  so 
opened  he  not  his  mouth: 

33  In  his  humiliation  his  judg- 
ment was  taken  away:  and  who 
shall  declare  his  generation  1 for 
his  life  is  taken  from  the  earth. 

34  And  the  eunuch  answered  Phil- 
ip, and  said,  I pray  thee,  of  whom 
speaketh  the  prophet  this  % of  him- 
self, or  of  some  other  manl 

35  Then  Phil-ip  opened  his  mouth, 
2' and  began  at  the  same  scripture, 
and  preached  unto  him  Je-sus. 

36  And  as  they  went  on  their  wslj, 
they  came  unto  a certain  water : 
and  the  eunuch  said,  See,  here  is

37  And  Phil-ip  said,  thou  be- 

lievest  with  all  thine  heart,  thou 
mayest.  And  he  answered  and  said, 
‘=1  believe  that  Je-siis  -Christ  is  the 
Son  of  God.  ■ ,1,1. 

38  And  he  commanded  the  chariot 
to  stand  still : and  they  went  down 
both  into  the  water,  both  Phil-ip 
and  the  eunuch;  and  he  baptized 
him. 

39  And  when  they  were  come  up 
out  of  the  water,  ®the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  caught  away  Phil-ip,  that  the 
eunuch  saw  him  no  more:  and  he 
went  on  his  way  rejoicing. 

40  But  Phil-ip  was  found  at  A- 
zo-ttis : and  passing  through  he 
preached  in  all  the  cities,  till  he 
came  to  Cses-a-re-a.

AND  ^ Saul,  yet  breathing  out 
threatenings  and  slaughter 
against  the  disciples  of  the  Lord, 
went  unto  the  high  priest, 

2 And  desired  of  him  letters  to 
Da-mas-cus  to  the  synagogues,  that 
if  he  found  any  ^of  this  way,  whe- 
ther they  were  men  or  women,  he 
might  bring  them  bound  unto  JA

3 And  ^as  he  journeyed,  he  came 
near  Da-mas-etis : and  suddenly 
there  shined  round  about  him  a 
light  from  heaven : 

4 And  he  fell  to  the  earth,  and 
heard  a voice  saying  unto  him,  Saul, 
Saul,  ’’why  persecutest  thou  mei 

5 And  he  said.  Who  art  thou. 
Lord?  And  the  Lord  said,  I arn 
JAstis  whom  thou  persecutest:  Ht 
is  hard  for  thee  to  kick  against  the 
pricks. 

6 And  he  trembling  and  astonished 
said.  Lord,  *what  wilt  thou  have  me 
to  do'?  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him.  Arise,  and  go  into  the  city, 
and  it  shall  be  told  thee  what  thou 
must  do. 

7 And  ^'the  men  which  journeyed 
with  him  stood  speechless,  hearing 
a voice,  but  seeing  no  man. 

8 And  Saul  arose  from  the  earth  ; 
and  when  his  eyes  were  opened, 
he  saw  no  man : but  they  led  him 
by  the  hand,  and  brought  him  into

a vision,  An-a-ni-as.  And  he  said, 

Behold,  I am  here.  Lord. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Arise,  and  go  into  the  street  which 
is  called  Straight,  and  enquire  in 
the  house  of  Ju-das  for  one  called 
Saul,  ‘^of  Tar-sus : for,  behold,  he 
prayeth, 

1 2 And  hath  seen  in  a vision  a man 
named  Aii-a-ni-as  coming  in,  and 
putting  his  hand  on  him,  that  he 
might  receive  his  sight. 

1 3 Then  An-a-ni-as  answered.  Lord, 
I have  heard  by  many  of  this  man, 
how  much  evil  he  hath  done  to  thy 
saints  at  JAru-sa-lem  : 

14  And  here  he  hath  authority 
from  the  chief  priests  to  bind  all 
•^that  call  on  thy  name. 

15  But  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Go 
thy  way  : for  ^ he  is  a chosen  vessel 
unto  me,  to  bear  my  name  before 
'‘the  Oen-tiles,  and  'kings,  and  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el : 

16  For  will  shew  him  how  great 
things  he  must  suffer  for  my  name’s 
sake. 

17  "‘‘And  An-a-ni-as  went  his  way, 
and  entered  into  the  house ; and 
“putting  his  hands  on  him  said. 
Brother  Saul,  the  Lord,  even  Je-stis, 
that  appeared  unto  thee  in  the  way 
as  thou  earnest,  hath  sent  me,  that 
thou  mightest  receive  thy  sight, 
and  ‘‘be  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

1 8 And  immediately  there  fell  from 
his  eyes  as  it  had  beeri  scales  : and 
he  received  sight  forthwith,  and 
arose,  and  was  baptized.^ 

1 9 And  when  he  had  received  meat, 
he  was  strengthened.  ^ Then  was 
Saul  certain  days  with  the  disciples 
which  were  at  Da-mas-ciis. 

20  And  straightway  he  preached 
■Ghrist  in  the  synagogues,  ®that  he 
is  the  Son  of  God. 

21  But  all  that  heard  him  were 
amazed^  and  said ; “Is  not  this  he 
that  destroyed  them  which  called 
on  this  name  in  JAru-sa-lem,  and 
came  hither  for  that  intent,  that  he 
might  bring  them  bound  unto  the 
chief  priests  % 

22  But  Saul  increased  the  more 
in  strength,  *and  confounded  the 
Jews  which  dwelt^  at  Da-mas-cus, 
proving  that  this  is  very  -Ghrlst. 

23  H And  after  th^  many  days 
were  fulfilled,  “the  Jews  took  coun- 
sel to  kill  him  : 

24  '’But  their  laying  await  was 
known  of  Saul.  And  they  watched 
the  gates  day  and  night  to  kill  him. 

25  Then  the  disciples  took  him 
by  night,  and  “let  him  down  by 
the  wall  in  a basket. 

26  And  ®when  Saul  was  come  to 


Tahitha  restored  to  life.  THE  aOTS,  10.  Cornelius  sendeth  for  Feter. 


Je-ru-sa-lem,  he  assayed  to  join 
himself  to  the  disciples:  but  they 
were  all  afraid  of  him,  and  believed 
not  that  he  was  a disciple. 

27  “But  Bar-na-bas  took  him,  and 
brought  him  to  the  apostles,  and 
declared  unto  them  how  he  had  seen 
the  Lord  in  the  way,  and  that  he 
had  spoken  to  him,  *and  how  he 
had  preached  boldly  at  Da-mas-eus 
in  the  name  of  Je-siis. 

28  And  ‘^he  was  with  them  coming 
in  and  going  out  at  J Aru-sa-lem. 

29  And  he  spake  boldly  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord  Je-§us,  and  dis- 
puted against  the  •''Gre-cians  : ®'but 
they  went  about  to  slay  him. 

30  Which  when  the  brethren 
knew,  they  brought  him  down 
to  C80s-a-re-a,  and  sent  him  forth  to 
TaGsus. 

31  '‘Then  had  the  churches  rest 
throughout  allJu-dse-a  and  Gal4-lee 
and  Sa-ma-ri-a,  and  were  edified; 
and  walking  in  the  fear  of  the 
Lord,  and  in  the  comfort  of  the 
Holy  Ghost,  were  multiplied. 

32  H And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Pe-ter 
passed  "‘throughout  all  quarters,  he 
came  down  also  to  the  saints  which 
dwelt  at  Lyd-da. 

33  And  there  he.  found  a certain 
man  named  ^E-ne-as,  which  had 
kept  his  bed  eight  years,  and  was 
sick  of  the  palsy. 

34  And  Pe-ter  said  unto  him, 
^E-nAas,  "JAsus  -Christ  maketh 
thee  whole : arise,  and  make  thy 
bed.  And  he  arose  immediately. 

35  And  all  that  dwelt  at  Lyd-da 
and  «SAr5n  saw  him,  and  "turned 
to  the  Lord. 

36  IT  Now  there  was  at  J Qp-pa  a cer- 
tain disciple  named  Tab4-tha,  which 
by  interpretation  is  called  ^ Ddr^as : 
this  woman  was  full  *of  good  works 
and  almsdeeds  which  she  did. 

37  And  it  came  to  . pass  in  those 
days,  that  she  was  sick,  and  died : 
whom  when  they  had  washed,  they 
laid  her  in  *an  upper  chamber.. 

38  And  forasmuch  as  Lyd-da  was 
nigh  to  J6p-pa,  and  the  disciples 
had  heard  that  Pe-ter  was  there, 
they  sent  unto  him  two  men,  de- 
siring him  that  he  would  not  ^ delay 
to  come  to  them. 

39  Then  Pe-ter  arose  and  went 
with  them.  When  he  was  come, 
they  brought  him  into  the  upper 
chamber  : and  all  the  widows  stood 
by  him  weeping,  and  shewing  the 
coats  and  garments  which  Dor-cas 
made,  while  she  was  with  them. 

40  But  Pe-ter  ^put  them  all  forth, 
and  Gmeeled  down,  and  prayed; 
and  turning  him  to  the  body  “said,

Tab-i-tha,  arise.  And  she  opened 
her  eyes : and  when  she  saw  Pe-ter, 
she  sat  up. 

41  And  he  gave  her  his  hand,  and 
lifted  her  up,  and  when  he  had 
called  the  saints  and  widows,  pre- 
sented her  alive. 

42  And  it  was  known  throughout 
all  Jhp-pa;  ‘’and  many  believed  in 
the  Lord. 

43  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  he 
tarried  many  days  in  J6p-pa  with 
one  ®Si-m5n  a tanner. 

CHAPTER  10. 

1 Cornelius  sendeth  for  Peter:  11  who  by  a vision  15,  20  ii 
taught  not  to  despise  the  Gentiles.  ^ As  he  preacheth, 

44  the  Eoly  Ghost  descendeth. 

There  was  a certain  man  in 
Cses-a-re-a  called  -Gdr-nedi-us, 
a centurion  of  the  band  called  the 
I-tal-ian  baud, 

2 devout  Trmn,  and  one  that 
feared  God  with  all  his  house, 
which  gave  much  alms  to  the  peo- 
ple, and  prayed  to  God  alway. 

3 'He  saw  in  a vision  evidently 
about  the  ninth  hour  of  the  day  an 
angel  of  God  coming  in  to  him,  and 
saying  unto  him,  -Gdr-ne-li-uSj 
4 And  when  he  looked  on  him,  he 
was  afraid,  and  said.  What  is  it. 
Lord  1 And  he  said  unto  him.  Thy 
prayers  and  thine  alms  are  come 
up  for  a memorial  before  God. 

5  And  now  send,  men  to  J5p-pa, 
and  call  for  one  Si-m5n,  whose  sur- 
name is  PAter : 

6  He  lodgeth  with  one  “Si-mOn  a 
tanner,  whose  house  is  by  the  sea 
side : ^he  shall  tell  thee  what  thou 
oughtest  to  do. 

7  And  when  the  angel  which  spake 
unto  -Gor-nAli-us  was  departed,  he 
called  two  of  his  household  serv- 
ants, and  a devout  soldier  of  them 
that  waited  on  him  continually ; 

8  And  when  he  had  declared  all 
these  things  unto  them,  he  sent 
them  to  J5p-pa. 

9  IT  On  the  morrow,  as  they  went 
on  their  journey,  and  drew  nigh 
unto  the  city,  "Pe-ter  went  up  upon 
the  housetop  to  pray  about  the 
sixth  hour; 

10  And  he  became  very  hungry, 
and  would  have  eaten:  but  while 
they  made  ready,  he  fell  into  a 
trance,  , 

1 1  And  *saw  heaven  ppened,  and  a 
certain  vessel  descending  unto  him, 
as  it  had  been  a great  sheet  knit  at 
the  four  corners,  and  let  down  to 
the  earth: 

12  Wherein  were  all  manner  or 
fourfooted  beasts  of  the  earth,^  and 
wild  beasts,  and  creeping  things, 
■ and  fowls  of  the  air. 


Cornelius  meeteth  Peter, 


THE  ACTS,  10. 


Peter  preacheth  Christ. 


13  And  there  came  a voice  to  him, 
Rise,  Pe-ter  ; kill,  and  eat. 

14  But  Pe-ter  said.  Not  so,  Lord ; 
^for  I have  never  eaten  any  thing 
that  is  common  or  unclean. 

15  And  the  yo\cq  spake  unto  him 
again  the  second  time,  *What  God 
hath  cleansed,  that  call  not  thou 
common. 

16  This  was  done  thrice:  and  the 
vessel  was  received  up  again  into 
heaven. 

17  Now  while  Pe-ter  doubted  in 
himself  what  this  vision  which  he 
had  seen  should  mean,  behold,  the 
men  which  were  sent  from  -Gor-ne- 
li-tis  had  made  enquiry  for  Si-m5n’s 
house,  and  stood  before  the  gate, 

18  And  called,  and  asked  whether 
Si-m5n,  which  was  surnamed  Pe- 
ter, were  lodged  there. 

19^  While  Pe-ter  thought  on  the 
vision,  ■''the  Spirit  said  unto  him. 
Behold,  three  men  seek  thee. 

20  Arise  therefore,  and  get  thee 
down,  and  go  with  them,  doubting 
nothing : for  I have  sent  them. 

21  Then  Pe-ter  went  down  to  the 
men  which  were  sent  unto  him  from 
■Gdr-nedi-tis ; and  said.  Behold,  I am 
he  whom  ye  seek  : what  is  the  cause 
wherefore  ye  are  come  1 

22  And  they  said,  *G6r-nedi-us  the 
centurion,  a just  man,  and  one  that 
feareth  God,  and  ”of  good  re^rt 
among  all  the  nation  of  the  Jews, 
was  warned  from  God  by  an  holy 
angel  to  send  for  thee  into  his 
house,  and  to  hear  words  of  thee. 

23  Then  called  he  them  in,  and 
lodged  them.  And  on  the  morrow 
Pe-ter  went  away  with  them,  and 
certain  brethren  from  J6p-pa  ac- 
companied him. 

24  And  the  morrow  after  they 
entered  into  Cses-a-re-a.  And  -Cor- 
nedi-tis  waited  for  them,  and  had 
called  together  his  kinsmen  and 
near  friends. 

25  And  as  Pe-ter  was  coming  in, 
Sdr-nedi-us  met  him,  and  fell  down 
at  his  feet,  and  worshipped  him. 

26  But  Peder  took  him  up,  say- 
ing, "'Stand  up;  I myself  also  am 
a man. 

27  And  as  he  talked  with  him,  he 
went  in,  and  found  many  that  were 
come  together. 

28  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye 
know  how  *‘that  it  is  an  unl^ful 
thing  for  a man  that  is  a Jew  to 
keep  company,  or  come  unto  one 
of  another  nation  ; but  ® God  hath 
shewed  me  that  I should  not  call 
anv  man  common  or  unclean. 

29  Therefore  came  I unto  you 
without  gainsaying,  as  soon  as  I

was  sent  for : I ask  therefore  for 

what  intent  ye  have  sent  for  me'? 

30  And  -Gor-nedi-us  said.  Four 
days  ago  I was  fasting  until  this 
hour;  and  at  the  ninth  hour  I 
prayed  in  my  house,  and,  behold, 
'a  man  stood  before  me  "^in  bright 
clothing, 

31  And  said,  -Gdr-nedims,  thy 
prayer  is  heard,  ®and  thine  alms 
are  had  in  remembrance  in  the 
sight  of  God. 

32  Send  therefore  to  J6p-pa,  and 
call  hither  Si-m5n,  whose  surname 
is  Pe-ter  ; he  is  lodged  in  the  house 
of  one  Si-mOn  a tanner  by  the  sea 
side : who,  when  he  cometh,  shall 
speak  unto  thee. 

33  Immediately  therefore  I sent  to 
th6e ; and  thou  hast  well  done  that 
thou  art  come.  Now  therefore  are 
we  all  here  present  before  God,  to 
hear  all  things  that  are  commanded 
thee  of  God. 

34  II  Then  Pe-ter  opened  his 
mouth,  and  said,  '"Of  a truth  I 
perceive  that  God  is  no  respecter 
of  persons : 

35  But  'in  every  nation  he  that 
feareth  him,  and  worketh  right- 
eousness, is  accepted  with  him. 

36  The  word  which  God  sent  unto 
the  children  of  IsYa-el,  'preaching 
peace  by  Je-sus  -Ghrist : (”"he  is  Lord 
of  all :) 

37  That  word,  / say,  ye  know, 
which  was  published  throughout 
all  Ju-dse-a,  and  "began  from  Gal-i- 
lee,  after  the  baptism  which  J5hn 
preached ; 

38  How  ^God  anointed  Je-siis  of 
Naz-a-reth  with  the  Holy  Ghost 
and  with  power : who  went  about 
doing  good,  and  healing  all  that 
were  oppressed  of  the  devil ; for 
God  was  with  him. 

39  And  ""we  are  witnesses  of  all 
things  which  he  did  both  in  the 
land  of  the  Jews,  and  in  JAru-sa- 
lem  ; ' whom  they  slew  and  hanged 
on  a tree : 

40  Him  “ God  raised  up  the  third 
day,  and  shewed  him  openly  ; 

41  ^ Not  to  all  the  people,  but  unto 
witnesses  chosen  before  of  God,  even 
to  us,  ^ who  did  eat  and  drink  with 
him  after  he  rose  from  the  dead. 

42  And  "he  commanded  us  to 
preach  unto  the  people,  and  to 
testify  "that  it  is  he  which  was 
ordained  of  God  to  he  the  Judge 
"'of  quick  and  dead. 

43  •''To  him  give  all  the  prophets 
witness,  that  through  his  name

receive  remission  of  sins.

words,  “the  Holy  Ghost  fell  on  all 
them  which  heard  the  word. 

45  And  they  of  the  circumcision 
which  believed  were  astonished,  as 
many  as  came  with  Pe-ter,  ‘'because 
that  on  the  Gen-tiles  also  was  poured 
out  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

46  For  they  heard  them  sp^eak 
with  tongues,  and  magnify  God. 
Then  answered  Pe-ter, 

47  Can  any  man  forbid  water,  that 

these  should  not  be  baptized,  which 
have  received  the  Holy  Ghost  ®as 
well  as  we?  , , , 

48  -^And  he  commanded  them  to 
be  baptized  ^'in  the  name  of  the 
Lord.  Then  prayed  they  him  to 
tarry  certain  days. 

CHAPTER  11. 

1 Peter,  accused  for  going  to  the  Gentiles,  5 maketh  his  de- 
fence. 19  The  gospel  being  spread  into  Phenice,  Cyprus, 
and  Antioch,  Barnabas  is  sent  to  confirm  them.  26  The 
disciples  first  called  Christians.  27  They  relieve  the  bre- 
thren in  Judcea, 

AND  the  aiiostles  and  brethren 
XA-  that  were  in  Ju-dse-a  heard  that 
the  Gen-tiles  had  also  received  the 
word  of  God. 

2 And  when  Pe-ter  was  come  up  to 
Je-ru-sadem,  ‘'they  that  were  of  the 
circumcision  contended  with  him, 

3 Saying,  ^Thou  wentest  in  to  men 
uncircumcised,  * and  didst  eat  with 
them. 

4 But  Pe-ter  rehearsed  the  matter 
from  the  beginning,  and  expounded 
it  ^ by  order  unto  them,  saying, 

5 was  in  the  city  of  Jbp-pa 
praying:  and  in  a trance  I saw  a 
vision,  A certain  vessel  descend,  as 
it  had  been  a great  sheet,  let  down 
from  heaven  by  four  corners ; and 
it  came  even  to  me: 

6 Upon  the  which  when  I had 
fastened  mine  eyes,  I considered, 
and  saw  fourfooted  beasts  of  the 
earth,  and  wild  beasts,  and  creep- 
ing tilings,  and  fowls  of  the  air. 

7 And  I heard  a voice  saying  unto 
me.  Arise,  Pe-ter  ; slay  and  eat. 

8 But  I said,  Not  so.  Lord : for 
nothing  common  or  unclean  hath  at 
any  time  entered  into  my  mouth. 

9 But  the  voice  answered  me 
again  from  heaven.  What  God  hath 
cleansed,  that  call  not  thou  com- 
mon. 

10  And  this  was  done  three  times : 
and  all  were  drawn  up  again  into 
heaven. 

1 1 And,  behold,  immediately  there 
were  three  men  already  come  unto 
the  house  where  I was,  sent  from 
Cses-a-re-a  unto  me. 

12  And the  Spirit  bade  me  go  with 
them,  nothing  doubting.  Moreover 
^ these  six  brethren  accompanied

me,  and  we  entered  into  the  man’s 

house ; 

1 3 *And  he  shewed  us  how  he  had 
seen  an  angel  in  his  house,  which 
stood  and  said  unto  him,  Send  men 
to  Jop-pa,  and  call  for  Si-mOn, whose 
surname  is  Pe-ter ; 

14  Who  shall  tell  thee  words, 
whereby  thou  and  all  thy  house 
shall  be  saved. 

15  And  as  I began  to  speak,  the 
Holy  Ghost  fell  on  them,  ‘^as  on  us 
at  the  beginning. 

16  Then  remembered  I the  word 
of  the  Lord,  how  that  he  said, 
'‘John  indeed  baptized  with  water ; 
but  * ye  shall  be  baptized  with  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

17  * Forasmuch  then  as  God  gave 
them  the  like  gift  as  he  did  unto  us, 
who  believed  on  the  Lord  Je-siis 
■Christ ; ^ what  was  I,  that  I could 
withstand  God? 

18  When  they  heard  these  things, 

they  held  their  peace,  and  glorified 
God,  saying,  "‘Then  hath  God  also 
to  the  Gen- tiles  granted  repentance 
unto  life.  . 

19  U "Now  they  which  were 
scattered  abroad  upon  the  perse- 
cution that  arose  about  Ste-ph6n 
travelled  as  far  as  PhAni-Qe,  and 
Cy-prus,  and  An-ti-6ch,  preaching 
the  word  to  none  but  unto  the 
Jews  only. 

20  And  some  of  them  were  men  of 

Cy-priis  and  ^y-re-ne,  which,  when 
£hey  were  come  to  An-ti-6ch,  spake 
unto  ‘the  Gre-cians,  preaching  the 
Lord  J e-sus.  , „ , ^ 

21  And  “the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
with  them  : and  a great  number  be' 
lieved,  and  * turned  unto  the  Lord. 

22  H Then  tidings  of  these  things 
came  unto  the  ears  of  the  church 
which  was  in  JAru-sa-l6m:  ana 
they  sent  forth  Bar-na-bas,  that 
he  should  go  as  far  as  An-ti-6ch. 

23  Who,  when  he  came,  and  had 
seen  the  grace  of  God,  was  glad, 
and  ^exhorted  them  all,  that  with 
purpose  of  heart  they  would  cleave 
unto  the  Lord. 

24  For  he  was  a good  man,  and 

“full  of  the  Holy  Ghost  and  of 
faith  : * and  much  people  was  added 
unto  the  Lord.  , , 

25  Then  departed  Bar-na-bas  to 
Tar-sus,  for  to  seek  Saul : 

26  And  when  he  had  found  him, 
he  brought  him  unto  An-ti-5eh. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  that  a whole 
year  they  assembled  themselves 
^ with  the  church,  and  taught  much 
people.  And  the  disciples  were 
called  Chris-tians  first  in  An-ti-och. 

27  IT  And  in  these  days  came  -‘pro- 


Herod^s  miserable  death.

phets  from  Je-ru-sa-lem  unto  An- 
ti-O-eh. 

28  And  there  stood  up  one  of  them 
named  “Ag-a-bus,  and  signified  by 
the  Spirit  that  there  should  be  great 
dearth  throughout  all  the  world : 
which  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of 
■Glau-di-us  Cse-sar. 

29  Then  the  disciples,  every  man 
according  to  his  ability,  determined 
to  send  "^relief  unto  the  brethren 
which  dwelt  in  Ju-dne-a : 

30  Which  also  they  did,  and  sent 
it  to  the  elders  by  the  hands  of 
Bar-na-bas  and  Saul. 

CHAPTER  12. 

1 King  Herod  hilleth  James,  and  imprisoneth  Peter:  7 
whom  an  angel  delivereth.  20  Herod  is  stricken  by  an 
angel,  and  dieth  miserably.  24  After  his  death,  the  word 
of  God  prospereth. 

NOW  about  that  time  Her-5d  the 
king  ^stretched  forth  his  hands 
to  vex  certain  of  the  church. 

2  And  he  killed  James  *the  brother 
of  Jehn  with  the  sword. 

3  And  because  he  saw  it  pleased 
the  Jews,  he  proceeded  further  to 
take  Pe-ter  also.  (Then  were  Rhe 
days  of  unleavened  bread.) 

4  And  "‘when  he  had  apprehended 
him,  he  put  him  in  prison,  and 
delivered  him  to  four  quaternions 
of  soldiers  to  keep  him ; intending 
after  Easter  to  bring  him  forth  to 
the  people. 

5  Pe-ter  therefore  was  kept  in 
prison : but  Sprayer  was  made 
without  ceasing  of  the  church  un- 
to God  for  him. 

6  And  when  H6r-6d  would  have 
brought  him  forth,  the  same  night 
Pe-ter  was  sleeping  between  two 
soldiers,  bound  with  two  chains : 
and  the  keepers  before  the  door 
kept  the  prison. 

7  And,  behold,  "the  angel  of  the 
Lord  came  upon  him,  and  a light 
shined  in  the  prison  : and  he  smote 
PeHer  on  the  side,  and  raised 
him  up,  saying.  Arise  up  quickly. 
And  his  chains  fell  off  from  his 
hands.  ‘ 

8  And  the  angel  said  unto  him. 
Gird  thyself,  and  bind  on  thy  san- 
dals. And  so  he  did.  And  he  saith 
unto  him.  Cast  thy  garment  about 
thee,  and  follow  me. 

9  And  he  went  out,  and  followed 
hira;  and  ®wist  not  that  it  was  true 
which  was  done  by  the  angel ; but 
thought  ‘‘he  saw  a vision. 

10  When  they  were  past  the  first 
and  the  second  ward,  they  came 
unto  the  iron  gate  that  leadeth 
unto  the  city ; “which  opened  to 
them  of  his  own  accord : and  thev 
went  out.  and  passed  on  through

one  street ; and  forthwith  the  angel 
departed  from  him. 

1 1 And  when  Pe-ter  was  come  to 
himself,  he  said.  Now  I know  of  a 
surety,  that  *the  Lord  hath  sent  his 
angel,  and  ‘'hath  delivered  me  out 
of  the  hand  of  Her-6d,  and  from 
all  th^expectation  of  the  people  of 
the  Jews. 

12  And  when  he  had  considered 
the_  thing,  ‘’he  came  to  the  house  of 
Ma-ry  the  mother  of  •''John,  whose 
surname  was  Mark ; where  many 
were  gathered  together  Spraying. 

13  And  as  Pe-ter  knocked  at  the 
door  of  the  gate,  a damsel  came  Ho 
hearken,  named  Rho-da. 

14  And  when  she  knew  PeHer’s 
voice,  she  opened  not  the  gate  for 
gladness,  but  ran  in,  and  told  how 
PeHer  stood  before  the  gate. 

15  And  they  said  unto  her.  Thou 
art  mad.  But  she  constantly  af- 
firmed that  it  was  even  so.  Then 
said  they,  *It  is  his  angel. 

1 6 But  PeHer  continued  knock- 
ing: and  when  they  had  opened 
the  door,  and  saw  him,  they  were 
astonished. 

17  But  he,  "beckoning  unto  them 
with  the  hand  to  hold  their  peace, 
declared  unto  them  how  the  Lord 
had  brought  him  out  of  the  prison. 
And  he  said.  Go  shew  these  things 
unto  James,  and  to  the  brethren. 
And  he  departed,  and  went  into 
another  place. 

18  Now  as  soon  as  it  was  day, 
there  was  no  small  stir  among  the 
soldiers,  what  was  become  of  PeHer. 

19  And  when  H6r-5d  had  sought 
for  him,  and  found  him  not,  he 
examined  the  keepers,  and  com- 
manded that  they  should  be  put  to 
death.  And  he  went  down  from 
Ju-dse-a  to  Cses-a-reH,  and  there 
abode. 

20  ^ And  HerHd  ^was  highly  dis- 

g leased  with  them  of  Tyre  and 
i-d5n : but  they  came  with  one 
accord  to  him,  and,  having  made 
BlasHus  ^the  king’s  chamberlain 
their  friend,  desired  peace ; because 
^ their  country  was  nourished  by 
the  king’s  country. 

21  And  upon  a set  day  HerHd, 
arrayed  in  royal  apparel,  sat  upon 
his  throne,  and  made  an  oration 
unto  them. 

22  And  the  people  gave  a shout, 
saying.  It  is  the  voice  of  a god,  and 
not  of  a man. 

23  And  immediately  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  * smote  him,  because  *he 
gave  not  God  the  glory : and  he 
was  eaten  of  worms,  and  gave  up 
the  ghost.

that  Jesus  is  Christ.  42  The  Gentiles  believe:  45  but  the 
Jews  gaiTisay  and  blaspheme. 

lyrOW  there  were  ^in  the  church 
that  was  at  An-ti-5ch  certain 

Erophets  and  teachers  ; as  '^Bar-na- 
as,  and  Sim-6-5n  that  was  called

and  Man-a-6n,  which  had  been 
brought  up  with  Her-5d  the  te- 
trarch,  and  Saul. 

2  As  they  ministered  to  the  Lord, 
and  fasted,  the  Holy  Ghost  said, 

” Separate  me  Bar-na-bas  and  Saul 
for  the  work  ^whereunto  I have 
called  them. 

3  And  ®when  they  had  fasted  and 
prayed,  and  laid  their  hands  on 
them,  they  sent  them  away. 

4  ^ So  they,  being  sent  forth  by 
the  Holy  Ghost,  departed  unto 
Se-leu-ci-a;  and  from  thence  they 
sailed  to  *Cy-prus. 

5  And  when  tney  were  at  Sal-a-mis, 
they  preached  the  word  o^  God  in 
the  synagogues  of  the  Jews:  and 
they  had  also*J6hn  to  their  minister. 
6 And  when  they  had  gone  through 
the  isle  unto  Pa-phCs,  they  found  ^a 
certain  sorcerer,  a false  prophet,  a 
J^,  whose  name  was  Bar-je-siis  : 

7  Which  was  with  the  deputy  of 
the  country,  Ser-gi-iis  Paudus,  a 
prudent  man ; who  called  for  Bar- 
na-bas  and  Saul,  and  desired  to  hear 
the  word  of  God. 

8  But  ‘^El-y-mas  the  sorcerer  (for 
so  is  his  name  by  interpretation) 
withstood  them,  seeking  to  turn 
away  the  deputy  from  the  faith. 

9  Then  Saul,  (who  also  is  called 
Paul,)  '‘filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost, 
set  his  eyes  on  him, 

10  And  said,  O full  of  all  subtilty 
and  all  mischief,  “^thou  child  of  the 
devil,  thou  enemy  of  all  righteous- 
ness, wilt  thou  not  cease  to  i)ervert 
the  right  ways  of  the  Lord  % 

11  And  now,  behold,  ”the  hand  of 
the  Lord  is  upon  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  be  blind,  not  seeing  the  sun 
for  a season.  And  immediately 
there  fell  on  him  a mist  and  a 
darkness  ; and  he  went  about  seek- 
ing some  to  lead  him  by  the  hand. 
12  Then  the  deputy,  when  he  saw 
what  was  done,  believed,  being  as- 
tonished at  the  doctrine  of  the  Lord.

17  The  God  of  this  people  of 
_s-ra-el  "“chose  our  fathers,  and  ex- 
alted the  people  “when  they  dwelt 
as  strangers  in  the  land  of  E-gypt, 
and  with  an  high  arm  brought  ne 
them  out  of  it. 

18  And  "'about  the  time  of  forty 
years  ^suffered  he  their  manners  in 
the  wilderness. 

19  And  when  he  had  destroyed 
seven  nations  in  the  land  of  -Gha- 
naan,  'he  divided  their  land  to  them 
by  lot. 

20  And  after  that  “he  gave  unto 
them  judges  about  the  space  of 
four  hundred  and  fifty  years,  until 
Sam-u-el  the  prophet. 

21  “And  afterward  they  desired 

a king:  and  God  gave  unto  them 
Saul  the  son  of  Cis,  a man  of  the 
tribe  of  Ben-ja-niin,  by  the  space 
of  forty  years.  , , , , 

22  And  '’when  he  had  removed 

him,  “he  raised  up  unto  them  Da-vid 
to  be  their  king ; to  whom  also  he 
gave  testimony,  and  said,  “I  have 
found  Da-vid  the  son  of  J6s-se,  ■'a 
man  after  mine  own  heart,  which 
shall  fulfil  all  my  will.  ^ , 

23  ^Of  this  man  s seed  hath  God 
according  Ho  his  promise_^  raised

24  'When  J5hn  had  first  preached 
before  his  coming  the  baptism  of 
repentance  to  all  the  people  of  Is-

he  said,  “Whom  think  ye  that  I am  %

cometh  one  after  me,  whose  shoes  of

l6m,  and  their  rulers,  * because  they 
knew  him  not,  nor  yet  the  voices  of 
the  prophets  which  are  read  every 
sabbath  day,  they  have  fulfilled  them 
in  condemning  him. 

28  “^And  though  they  found  no 
cause  of  death  in  him,  yet  desired 
they  Pi -late  that  he  should  be 
slain. 

29  -A-nd  when  they  had  fulfilled  all 
that  was  written  of  him,  ^they  took 
him  down  from  the  tree,  and  laid 
him  in  a sepulchre. 

30  *But  God  raised  him  from  the 
dead : 

31  And  ^he  was  seen  many  days 
of  them  which  came  up  with  him 
from  Gal-i-lee  to  Je-ru-sa-lem,  who 
are  his  witnesses  unto  the  people. 

32  And  we  declare  unto  you  glad 
tidings,  how  that  ° the  promise 
which  was  made  unto  the  fathers, 

33  God  hath  fulfilled  ^ the  same 
unto  us  their  children,  in  that  he 
hath  raised  up  Je-stis  again;  as  it 
is  also  written  in  the  second  psalm, 
«Thou  art  my  Son,  this  day  have  I 
begotten  thee. 

34  And  as  concerning  that  he 
raised  him  up  from  the  dead,  now 
no  more  to  return  to  corruption,  he 
said  on  this  wise,  ’’I  will  give  you 
the  sure  ^mercies  of  Da-vid. 

35  Wherefore  he  saith  also  in  an- 
other psalm,  ‘Thou  shalt  not  suffer 
thine  Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

36  For  Da-vid,  after  he  had  served 
his  own  generation  by  the  will  of 
God,  '*'fell  on  sleep,  and  was  laid  unto 
his  fathers,  and  saw  corruption  ; 

37  But  he,  whom  God  raised  again, 
saw  no  corruption. 

38  H Be  it  known  unto  you  there- 
fore, men  and  brethren,  that 
* through  this  man  is  preached  unto 
you  the  forgiveness  of  sins  : 

39  And  “by  him  all  that  believe 
are  justified  from  all  things,  from 
which  ye  could  not  be  justified  by 
the  law  of  Mo-ses. 

40  Beware  therefore,  lest  that  come 
upon  you,  which  is  spoken  of  in 

the  prophets ; 

41  Behold,  ye  despisers,  and  won- 
der, and  perish  : for  I work  a work 
in  your  days,  a work  which  ye  shall 
in  no  wise  believe,  though  a man 
declare  it  unto  you. 

42  And  when  the  Jews  were  gone 
out  of  the  synagogue,  the  G6n-tiles

be  preached  to  them'  ^ the  next

continue  in  ®the  grace  of  God. 

44  II  And  the  next  sabbath  day 
came  almost  the  whole  city  together 
to  hear  the  word  of  God. 

45  But  when  the  Jews  saw  the 
multitudes,  they  were  filled  with 
envy,  and  ® spake  against  those 
things  which  were  spoken  by  Paul, 
contradicting  and  blaspheming. 

46  ThenPauland  Bar-na-bas  waxed 
bold,  and  said,  '‘It  was  necessary  that 
the  word  of  God  should  first  have 
been  spoken  to  you  : but  * seeing  ye 
put  it  from  you,  and  judge  your- 
selves unworthy  of  everlasting  life, 
lo,  "“we  turn  to  the  Oen-tiles. 

47  For  so  hath  the  Lord  com- 
manded us,  saying,  ”1  have  set  thee 
to  be  a light  of  the  Oen-tiles,  that 
thou  shouldest  be  for  salvation  unto 
the  ends  of  the  earth. 

48  And  when  the  Gen-tiles  heard 
this,  they  were  glad,  and  glorified 
the  word  of  the  Lord  : ^and  as  many 
as  were  ordained  to  eternal  life  be- 
lieved. 

49  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  was 
published  throughout  all  the  region. 

50  But  the  J ^s  stirred  up  the  de- 
vout and  honourable  women,  and 
the  chief  men  of  the  city,  and  * raised 
persecution  against  Paul  and  Bar- 
na-bas,  and  expelled  them  out  of 
their  coasts. 

51  “But  they  shook  off  the  dust  of 
their  feet  against  them,  and  came 
unto  I-eo-ni-iim. 

52  And  the  disciples  ^were  filled 
with  joy,  and  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

CHAPTER  14. 

1 Paul  and  Barnabas  are  persecuted  from  Iconium.  8 At 
Lystru  Paul  healeth  a cripple.  19  Paul  is  stoned.  21 
They  return  to  Antioch.  _ 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  I-eo- 
ni-iim,  that  they  went  both  to- 
gether into  the  synagogue  of  the 
Jews,  and  so  spake,  that  _a  great 
multitude  both  of  the  Jews  and 
also  of  the  Greeks  believed. 

2 But  the  unbelieving  J e'ws  stirred 
uj)  the  Gen-tlles,  and  made  their 
minds  evil  affected  against  the  bre- 
thren. 

3 Long  time  therefore  abode  they 
speaking  boldly  in  the  Lord,  ‘'which 
gave  testimony  unto  the  word  of  his 
grace,  and  granted  signs  and  won- 
ders to  be  done  by  their  hands. 

4 But  the  multitude  of  the  city  was 
divided : and  part  held  with  the 
J^§,  and  part  with  the  ‘‘apostles. 

5 And  when  there  was  an  assault 
made  bo^h  of  the  G6n-tiles,  and  also 
of  the  Jews  with  their  rulers,  "to  use 
^Aemdespitefully,  and  to  stone  them. 

6 They  were  ware  of  it,  and  ^fled

unto  Lys-tra  and  Der-b6,  cities  of 
Lyc-a-o-ni-a,  and  unto  tne  region 
that  lieth  round  about : 

7 And  there  they  preached  the 
go^el. 

8 H ‘^And  there  sat  a certain  man  at 
Lys-tra,  impotent  in  his  feet,  being 
a cripple  from  his  mother’s  womb, 
who  never  had  walked  : 

9 The  same  heard  Paul  speak : who 
stedfastly  beholding  him,  and  * per- 
ceiving that  he  had  faith  to  be  healed, 

10  Said  with  a loud  voice,  -^Stand 
upright  on  thy  feet.  And  he  leaped 
and  walked. 

1 1 And  when  the  people  saw  what 
Paul  had  done,  they  lifted  up  their 
voices,  saying  in  the  speech  of  Lye- 
a-o-ni-a,  *The  gods  are  come  down 
to  us  in  the  likeness  of  men. 

12  And  they  called  Bar-na-bas, 
Ju-pi-ter;  and  Paul,  Mer-eu-ri-us, 
because  he  was  the  chief  speaker. 

13  Then  the  priest  of  Ju-pi-ter, 
which  was  before  their  city,  brought 
oxen  and  garlands  unto  the  gates 
”"and  would  have  done  sacrifice  with 
the  people. 

14  Which  when  the  apostles,  Bar- 
na-bas  and  Paul,  heard  o/,  ”they  rent 
their  clothes,  and  ran  in  among  the 
people,  crying  out, 

15  And  saying.  Sirs,  ^’why  do  ye 
these  things  % « We  also  are  men 
like  passions  with  you,  and  preach 
unto  you  that  ye  should  turn  from 

* these  vanities  “unto  the  living  Cod, 

* which  made  heaven,  and  earth,  and 

the  sea,  and  all  things  that  are 
therein:  ro  ^ 

16  ^Who  in  times  past  suffered  all 
nations  to  walk  in  their  own  ways. 

17  “Nevertheless  he  left  not  him- 
self without  witness,  in  that  he  did 
good,  and  ®gave  us  rain  from  heav- 
en, and  fruitful  seasons,  filling  our 
hearts  with  food  and  gladness. 

18  And  with  these  sayings  scarce 
restrained  they  thepeople,  that  they 
had  not  done  sacrifice  unto  them. 

19  IT  ^nd  there  came  thither  cer- 
tain  J^s  from  An-ti-6ch  and  I-eo- 
ni-um,  who  persuaded  the  people, 
^and,  having  stoned  Paul,  drew  him 
out  of  the  city,  supposing  he  had 
been  dead. 

20  Howbeit,  as  the  disciples  stood 
round  about  him,  he  rose  up,  and 
came  into  the  city : and  the  next 
day  he  departed  with  Bar-na-bas 
to  Der-be. 

21  And  when  they  had  preached 

the  gospel  to  that  city,  %nd  ^had 
taught  many,  they  returned  again

CHAPTER  15. 

1 Great  dissension  touching  circumcision.  6 The  apostles 
consult  about  it,  22  and  give  their  decision.  36  Paul  and 
Barnabas  part  asunder. 

AND  "certain  men  which  came 
XX  down  from  Ju-dse-a  taught  the 
brethren,  and  said,  ^Except  ye  be 
circumcised  ® after  the  manner  of 
Mo-ses,  ye  cannot  be  saved.  ^ ^ . 

2 When  therefore  Paul  and  Bar- 
na-bas  had  no  small  dissension  and 
disputation  with  them,  they  deter- 
mined that  ^Paul  and  Bar-na-bas, 
and  certain  other  of  them,  should  go 
up  to  Je-ru-sa-lem  unto  the  apostles 
and  elders  about  this  question. 

3 And  ''being  brought  on  their  way 
by  the  church,  they  passed  through 
PhAni-ge  and  Sa-ma-ri-a,  "declaring 
the  conversion  of  the  Gen-tiles : and 
they  caused  great  joy  unto  all  the 
brethren. 

4 And  when  they  were  come  to 
JAru-sa-lem,  they  were  received  of 
the  church,  and  of  the  apostles  and 
elders,  and  -^they  declared  all  things 
that  God  had  done  with  them.

sect  of  the  Phar4-sees  which  be- 
lieved, saying,  ^That  it  was  needfin 
to  circumcise  them,  and  to  command 
them  to  keep  the  law  of  Mo-ses. 

6 H And  the  apostles  and  elders 
came  together  tor  to  consider  of 
this  matter. 

7 And  when  there  had  been  much 
disputing,  Pe-ter  rose  up,  and  said 
unto  them,  ""  Men  and  brethren,  ye 
know  how  that  a good  while  ago

Gren-tiles  by  my  mouth  should  hear 
the  word  of  the  gospel,  and  believe. 

8 And  God,  “which  knoweth  the 
hearts,  bare  them  witness,  * giving 
them  the  Holy  Ghost,  even  as  he 
did  unto  us  ; 

9 ‘*And  put  no  difference  between 
us  and  them,  *purif ying  their  hearts 
by  faith. 

10  Now  therefore  why  tempt  ye 
God,  -^to  put  a yoke  upon  the  neck 
of  the  disciples,  which  neither  our 
fathers  nor  we  were  able  to  bear  1 

11  But  ^we  believe  that  through 
the  grace  of  the  Lord  J e-siis  -Christ 
we  shall  be  saved,  even  as  they. 

12  U Then  all  the  multitude  kept 
silence,  and  gave  audience  to  Bar- 
na-has  and  Paul,  declaring  what 
miracles  and  wonders  God  had 
^wrought  among  the  Oen-tiles  by 
them. 

13  U And  after  they  had  held  their 
peace,  * J ames  answered,  saying.  Men 
and  brethren,  hearken  unto  me  : 

14  ”‘Sim-e-5n  hath  declared  how 
God  at  the  first  did  visit  the  Gen- 
tiles, to  take  out  of  them  a people 
for  his  name. 

15  And  to  this  agree  the  words  of 
the  prophets  ; as  it  is  written, 

16  ® After  this  I will  return,  and 
will  build  again  the  tabernacle  of 
Da-vid,  which  is  fallen  down ; and 
I will  build  again  the  ruins  thereof,

1 1 That  the  residue  of  men  might 
seek  after  the  Lord,  and  all  the  Gen- 
tiles, upon  whom  my  name  is  called, 
saith  the  Lord,  who  doeth  all  these 
things. 

18  Known  unto  G9d  are  all  his 
works  from  the  beginning  of  the 
world. 

1 9 Wherefore  ^my  sentence  is,  that 
we  trouble  not  them,  which  from 
among  the  G6n- tiles  *are  turned  to 
God : 

20  But  that  we  write  unto  them, 
that  they  abstain  “from  pollutions 
of  idols,  and  ^from  fornication,  and 
from  things  strangled,  ^and  from 
blood. 

21  For  Mo-s6s  of  old  time  hath  in 
every  city  them  that  preach  him, 
“being  read  in  the  synagogues  every 
sabbath  day. 

22  Then  pleased  it  the  apostles 
and  elders,  with  the  whole  cnurch, 
to  send  chosen  men  of  their  own 
company  to  An-ti-Ceh  with  Paul 
and  Bar-na-bas  ; namely,  Ju-das 
Gurnamed  Bar-sa-bas,  and  Sidas,

ing  unto  the  brethren  which  are  of 

the  Gen-tiles  in  An-ti-5eh  and  Syr- 
i-a  and  Ci-li-ci-a : 

24  Forasmuch  as  we  have  heard, 
that  ‘’certain  which  went  out  from 
us  have  troubled  you  with  words, 
subverting  your  souls,  saying.  Ye 
must  be  circumcised,  and  keep  the 
law : to  whom  we  gave  no  such 
commandment : 

25  It  seemed  good  unto  us,  being 
assembled  with  one  accord,  to  send 
chosen  men  unto  you  with  our  be- 
loved Bar-na-bas  and  Paul, 

26  Men  that  have  hazarded  their 
lives  for  the  name  of  our  Lord  Je- 
sus -Christ. 

27  We  have  sent  therefore  Ju-das 
and  Sidas,  who  shall  also  tell  you 
the  same  things  by  ^ mouth. 

28  For  it  seemed  good  to  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  to  us,  to  lay  upon  you 
no  greater  burden  than  these  neces- 
sary things ; 

29  ^That  ye  abstain  from  meats 
offered  to'  idols,  and  “from  blood, 
and  from  things  strangled,  and 
from  fornication : from  which  if 
ye  keep  yourselves,  ye  shall  do 
well.  Fare  ye  well. 

30  So  when  they  were  dismissed, 
they  came  to  An-ti-5eh  : and  when 
they  had  gathered  the  multitude 
together^  they  delivered  the  epistle  : 

31  Which  when  they  had  read, 
they  rejoiced  for  the  ‘^consolation. 

32  And  Ju-das  and  Si-las,  being 
prophets  also  themselves,  ^exliorted 
the  Brethren  with  many  words,  and 
confirmed  them. 

33  And  after  they  had  tarried  there 
a space,  they  were  let  ^ go  in  peace 
from  the  brethren  unto  the  apostles. 

34  Notwithstanding  it  pleased  Si- 
las to  abide  there  still. 

35  ®Paul  also  and  BarBa-bas  con- 
tinued in  AnBi-5eh,  teaching  and 
preaching  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
with  many  others  also. 

36  ^ And  some  days  after  Paul 
said  unto  BaPna-bas,  Let  us  go 
again  and  visit  our  brethren  ^in 
every  city  where  we  have  preached 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  see  how 
they  do. 

37  And  BarBa-bas  determined  to 
take  with  them  ^John,  whose  sur- 
name was  Mark. 

38  But  Paul  thought  not  good  to 
take  him  with  them,  ‘’who  departed 
from  them  from  Pam-phyl-i-a,  and 
went  not  with  them  to  the  work. 

39  And  the  contention  was  so  sharp 
between  them,  that  they  departed 
asunder  one  from  the  other : and 
so  Bar-na-bas  took  Mark,  and  sailed 
unto  Cyprus ;

CHAPTER  16. 


1 Paul  circumciseth  Timothy.  14  He  converteth  Lydia,  16 
and  casteth  out  a spirit  of  divination.  19  Paul  and  Silas 
imprisoned,  36  and  delivered. 

Then  came  he  to  ‘^Der-be  and 
Lys-tra : and,  behold,  a certain 
disciple  was  there,  * named  Ti-mo- 
th6-us,  ^the  son^f  a certain  woman, 
which  was  a Jew-ess,  and  believed ; 
but  his  father  was  a Greek  : 

2 Which  '‘  was  well  reported  of  by 
the  brethren  that  were  at  Lys-tra 
and  I-co-ni-um. 

3 Him  would  Paul  have  to  go  forth 
with  him;  and  Hook  and  circi^- 
cised  him  because  of  the  Jews 
which  were  in  those  quarters : for 
they  knew  all  that  his  father  was  a 
Greek. 

4 And  as  they  went  through  the 
cities,  they  delivered  them  the 
decrees  for  to  keep,  "that  were 
ordained  of  the  apostles  and  elders 
which  were  at  J e-ru-sa-lem. 

5 And  ^so  were  the  churches  estab- 
lished in  the  faith,  and  increased  in 
number  daily. 

6 Now  when  they  had  gone  through- 
out Phryg4-a  and  the  region  of  Ga- 
la-ti-a,  and  were  forbidden  of  the 
Holy  Ghost  to  preach  the  word  in 
A-gi-a, 

7 After  they  were  come  to  My-si-a, 
they  assayed  to  go  into  Bi-thyn4-a : 
but  the  Spirit  suffered  them  not.  ^ 

8 And  they  passing  by  My-si-a 
“came  down  to  Tro-as. 

9 And  a vision  appeared  to  Paul 
in  the  night ; There  stood  a '‘'rnan 
of  Mag-g-do-ni-a,  and  prayed  him, 
sajdng.  Come  over  into  Mag-e-do- 
ni-a,  and  help  us. 

10  And  after  he  had  seen  the  vi- 
sion, immediately  we  endeavoured 
to  go  Hnto  Ma9-e-do-ni-a,  assuredly 
gathering  that  the  Lord  had  called 
us  for  to  preach  the  gospel  unto 
them. 

11  Therefore  loosing  from  Tro-as, 
we  came  with  a straight  course  to 
Sam-e-thra-ci-a,  and  the  next  day 
to  Ne-ap-5-hs ; 

12  And  from  thence  to  “Phi-lip-pl, 
which  is  ^the  chief  city  of  that  part 
of  Ma9-6-do-ni-a,  and  a colony:  and 
we  were  in  that  city  abiding  certain 
days. 

13  And  on  the  ^sabbath  we  went 
out  of  the  city  by  a river  side, 
where  prayer  was  wont  to  be  made ; 
and  we  sat  down,  and  spake  unto 
the  women  which  resorted  thither.

sabbath  day. 


14  U And  a certain  woman  named 
Lyd4-a,  a seller  of  purple,  of  the  city 
of  Thy-a-ti-ra,  which  worshipped 
God,  heard  us:  whose  '’heart  the 
Lord  opened,  that  she  attended  un- 
to the  things  which  were  spoken 
of  Paul. 

15  And  when  she  was  baptized, 
and  her  household,  she  besought 
us,  saying.  If  ye  have  judged  me 
to  be  faithful  to  the  Lord,  come 
into  my  house,  and  abide  there. 
And  ^she  constrained  us. 

16  ^ And  it  came  to  pass,  as  we 
went  to  prayer,  a certain  damsel 
'possessed  with  a spirit  ^of  divi- 
nation met  us,  which  brought  her 
masters  ^much  gain  by  soothsaying : 

17  The  same  followed  Paul  and  us, 
and  cried,  saying.  These  men  are 
the  servants  of  the  most  high  God, 
which  shew  unto  us  the  way  of 
salvation. 

18  And  this  did  she  many  days. 
But  Paul,”* being  grieved,  turned  and 
said  to  the  spirit,  I command  thee 
in  the  name  of  Je-sus  -Christ  to 
come  out  of  her.  "And  he  came 
out  the  same  hour. 

19  U And  «when  her  masters  saw 
that  the  hope  of  their  gains  was 
gone,  ”they  caught  Paul  and  Sidas, 
and  ®drew  them  into  the  ‘''market- 
place unto  the  rulers, 

20  And  brought  them  to  the  mag- 
isHates,  saying.  These  men,  being 
Je'ws,  'do  exceedingly  trouble  our 
city, 

21  And  teach  customs,  which  are 
not  lawful  for  us  to  receive,  neither 
to  observe,  being  Ro-mans. 

22  And  the  multitude  rose  up  to- 
gether against  them : and  the  magis- 
trates rent  off  their  clothes,  ^'and 
commanded  to  beat  them. 

23  And  when  they  had  laid  many 

stripes  upon  them,  they  cast  them 
into  prison,  charging  the  jailor  to 
keep  them  safely  • . , , 

24  Who,  having  received  such  a 

charge,  tnrust  them  into  the  inner 
prison,  and  made  their  feet  fast  in 
the  stocks.  , , 

25  U And  at  midnight  Paul  and 
Si-las  prayed,  and  sang  praises  un- 
to God:  and  the  prisoners  heard 
them. 

26  "And  suddenly  there  was  a great 
earthquake,  so  that  the  foundations 
of  the  prison  were  shaken  : and 
immediately  ‘'all  the  doors  were 
opened,  and  every  one’s  bands  were 
loosed. 

27  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison 
awaking  out  of  his  sleep,  and  seeing 
the  prison  doors  open,  he  drew  out 
his  sword,  and  would  have  killed

himself,  supposing  that  the  pris- 
oners had  Been  fled. 

28  But  Paul  cried  with  a loud 
voice,  saying,  Do  thyself  no  harm : 
for  we  are  all  here. 

29  Then  he  called  for  a light,  and 
sprang  in,  and  came  trembling,  and 
fell  down  before  Paul  and  Sidas, 

30  And  brought  them  out,  and 
said,  'Sirs,  what  must  I do  to  be 
saved  1 

31  And  they  said,  ^Believe  on  the 
Lord  Je-siis  -Christ,  and  thou  shalt 
be  saved,  and  thy  house. 

32  And  they  spake  unto  him  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  and  to  all  that 
were  in  his  house. 

33  And  he  took  them  the  same 
hour  of  the  night,  and  washed  their 
stripes ; and  was  baptized,  he  and 
all  his,  straightway. 

34  And  when  he  had  brought  them 
into  his  house,  ^'he  set  meat  before 
them,  and  rejoiced,  believing  in  God 
with  all  his  house. 

35  And  when  it  was  day,  the  ma- 
gistrates sent  the  serjeants,  saying. 
Let  those  men  go. 

36  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison 
told  this  saying  to  Paul,  The  magis- 
trates have  sent  to  let  you  go  : now 
therefore  depart,  and  go  in  peace. 

37  But  Paul  said  unto  them.  They 
have  beaten  us  openly  uncon- 
demned, * being  Bo-mans,  and  have 
cast  us  into  prison ; and  now  do 
they  thrust  us  out  privily  1 nay 
verily ; but  let  them  come  them- 
selves and  fetch  us  out. 

38  And  the  serjeants  told  these 
words  unto  the  magistrates : and 
they  feared,  when  they  heard  that 
they  were  Ro-mans. 

39  And  they  came  and  besought 
them,  and  brought  them  out,  and 

desired  them  to  depart  out  of  the 
city. 

40  And  they  went  out  of  the 
prison,  ’^and  entered  into  the  house 
of  Lyd-i-a : and  when  they  had  seen 
the  brethren,  they  comforted  them, 
and  departed.

that  this  J e-sus,  ^ whom  I preach 
unto  you,  is  -Christ. 

4 ®And  some  of  them  believed, 
and  consorted  with  Paul  and  *Sidas ; 
and  of  the  devout  Greeks  a great 
multitude,  and  of  the  chief  women 
not  a few. 

5 IT  But  the  J^s  which  believed 
not,  moved  with  envy,  took  unto 
them  certain  lewd  fellows  of  the 
baser  sort,  and  gathered  a company, 
and  set  all  the  ciry  on  an  imroar, 
and  assaulted  the  house  of  ®Ja-sOn, 
and  sought  to  bring  them  out  to 
the  people. 

6 And  when  they  found  them  not, 
they  drew  Ja-sOn  and  certain  bre- 
thren unto  the  rulers  of  the  city, 
crying,  -^These  that  have  turned  the 
world  upside  down  are  come  hither 
also ; 

7 Whom  Ja-s5n  hath  received : and 
these  all  do  contrary  to  the  decrees 
of  Cse-sar,  ^saying  that  there  is  am 
othbr  king,  one  Je-sus. 

8 And  they  troubled  the  people 
and  the  rulers  of  the  city,  when 
they  heard  these  things. 

9 And  when  they  had  taken  secu- 
rity of  J a-son,  and  of  the  other,  they 
let  them  go. 

10  ^ And  Hhe  brethren  immedi- 
ately sent  away  Paul  and  Sidas  by 
ni§:ht  unto  BAre-a : who  coming^ 
th%ther_yQ\f<j  into  the  synagogue  of 
the  Jews. 

11  These  were  more  noble  than 
those  in  Thes-sa-16-m-ca,  in  that 
they  received  the  word  with  all 
readiness  of  mind,  and  ^searched 
the  scriptures  daily,  whether  those 
things  were  so. 

12  Therefore  many  of  them  be- 
lieved ; also  of  honourable  women 
which  were  Greeks,  and  of  men, 
not  a few. 

13  But  when  the  J^\s  of  Th6s- 
sa-16-ni-ca  had  knowledge  that  the 
word  of  God  was  preached  of  Paul 
at  Be-re-a,  they  came  thither  also, 
and  stirred  up  the  people. 

14  "And  then  immediately  the 
brethren  sent  away  Paul  to  go  as 
it  were  to  the  sea : but  Sidas  and 
Ti-modhe-iis  abode  there  still. 

15  And  they  that  conducted  Paul 
brought  him  unto  Ath-ens : and 
^receiving  a commandment  unto 
Sidas  and  Ti-mo-thAus  for  to  come 
to  him  with  all  speed,  they  de- 
parted. 

16  ^ Now  while  Paul  waited  for 
them  at  Ath-gn?,  ’'his  spirit  was 
stirred  in  him,  when  he  saw  the 
city  ^wholly  given  to  idolatry.

the  Ep-i-«u-re-ans,  and  of  the  bto- 
icks,  encountered  him.  And  some 
said.  What  will  this  ‘-^babbler  say  ^ 
other  some,  He  seemeth  to  be  a 
setter  forth  of  strange  godsj^  be- 
cause he  preached  unto  them  J e-sus, 
and  the  resurrection. 

1 9 And  they  took  him,  and  brought 
him  unto  Ar-e-5p-a-gus,  saying. 
May  we  know  what  this  new  doc- 
trine, whereof  thou  speakest,  is 

20  For  thou  bringest  certain 

strange  things  to  our  ears : we 
would  know  therefore  what  these 
things  mean.  - , , 

21  (For  all  the  A-the-ni-ans  and 
strangers  which  were  there  spent 
their  time  in  nothing  else,  but  either 
to  tell,  or  to  hear  some  new  thing.) 

22  U Then  Paul  stood  in  the  midst 
of  ^ Mars’  hill,  and  said.  Ye  men  of 
Ath-ens,  I perceive  that  in  all  things 
ye  are  too  superstitious.  , , , , , 

23  For  as  I passed  by,  and  beheld 

YOur  ® devotions,  I found  an  altar 
with  this  inscription,  TO  THE  UN- 
KNOWN GOD.  Whom  therefore 
ye  ignorantly  worship,  him  declare 
I unto  you.  , , n 

24  "God  that  made  the  world  and 

all  things  therein,  seeing  that  he  is 
■^Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  ^dwell- 
eth  not  in  temples  made  with

25  Neither  is  worshipped  with

any  thing,  seeing  *he  giveth  to  all 
life,  and  breath,  and  all  things ; 

26  And  hath  made  of  one  blood 

all  nations  of  men  for  to  dwell  on

resurrection  of  the  dead,  some 
mocked : and  others  said.  We  will

them.

AFTER  these  things  Paul  de- 
parted  from  Ath-ens,  and  came 
to  -Gbr-inth ; . ^ — 

2 And  found  a certain  Jew 
named  "Aq-ui-la,  born  in  P5n-tus, 
lately  come  from  It-a-ly,  with  his 
wife  Pris-9il-la ; (because  that jGlau- 
di-tis  had  commanded  all  Jews  to 
depart  from  Rome :)  and  came  un- 
to them. 

3 And  because  he  was  of  the  same 
craft,  he  abode  with  them,  ‘*and 
wrought : for  by  their  occupation 
they  were  tentmakers. 

4 ''^And  he  reasoned  in  the  syna- 
gogue every  sabbath,  and  persuaded 
the  Jews  and  the  Greeks. 

5 And  ‘when  Si-las  and  Ti-rnoj 
the-iis  were  come  from  Ma9-e-do- 
ni-a,  Paul  was  “‘pressed  in  the  spirit, 
and  testified  to  the  Jews  that  J e-sus 
^was  -Ghrist. 

6 And  “when  they  opposed  them- 
selves, and  blasphemed,  “he  shook 
his  raiment,  and  said  unto  them, 
3 Your  blood  be  upon  your  own 
heads;  am  clean:  *from  hence- 
forth I will  go  unto  the  Gen-tiles. 

7 ^ And  he  departed  thence,  and 
entered  into  a certain  must’s  house, 
named  Jiis-tus,  one  that  worshipped

were  baptized.  , ^ i

Paul  accused  before  Gallto. 


THE  ACTS,  19. 


The  Holy  Ghost  is  given. 


for  I have  much  people  in  this 
city. 

11  And  he  ^continued  there  a year 
and  six  months,  teaching  the  word 
of  God  among  them. 

12  H And  when  Gal-li-6_was  the 
deputy  of  A-eha-ia,  the  Jews  made 
insurrection  with  one  accord  against 
Paul,  and  brought  him  to  the  judg- 
ment seat, 

13  Saying,  This persuadeth 
men  to  worship  God  contrary  to 
the  law. 

14  And  when  Paul  was  now  about 
to  open  his  mouth,  Gal-li-6  said  unto 
the  J^s,  ®If  it  were  a matter  of 
wrong  or  wicked  lev/dness,  O ye 
J^s,  reason  would  that  I should 
bear  with  you : 

15  But  if  it  be  a question  of  words 
and  names,  and  of  your  law,  look 
ye  to  it ; for  I will  be  no  judge  of 
such  matters. 

16  And  he  drave  them  from  the 
judgment  seat. 

17  Then  all  the  Greeks  took  ®S6s- 
the-nes,  the  chief  ruler  of  the  syn- 
agogue, and  beat  him  before  the 
judgment  seat.  And  Gal-li-6  cared 
for  none  of  those  things. 

18  U And  Paul  after  this  tarried 
there  yet  a good  while,  and  then 
took  his  leave  of  the  brethren,  and 
sailed  thence  into  Syr4-a,  and  with 
him  Pris-gil-la  and  Aq-ui-la ; hav- 
ing ^ shorn  his  head  in  *Cen-ehr6-a: 
for  he  had  a vow. 

1 9 And  he  came  to  Eph-e-sus,  and 
left  them  there:  but  he  himself 
entered  into  the  synagogue,  and 
reasoned  with  the  Jews. 

20  When  they  desired  him  to 
tarry  longer  time  with  them,  he 
consented  not; 

2 1 But  bade  them  farewell,  saying, 
"I  must  by  all  means  keep  this  feast 
that  cometh  in  J6-ru-sa-l6m:  but  I 
will  return  again  unto  you,  ^if  God 
will.  And  he  sailed  from  Eph-e-sus. 

22  And  when  he  had  landed  at 
Cses-a-re-a,  and  gone  up,  and  sa- 
Tuted  the  church,  he  went  down  to 
An-ti-6ch. 

23  And  after  he  had  spent  some 
time  there,  he  departed,  and  went 
over  all  the  country  of  “Ga-la-ti-a 
and  Phryg4-a  in  order,  * strength- 
ening all  the  disciples. 

24  ^ ^And  a certain  Jew  named 
A-p6l-l6s,  born  at  Al-6x-an-dri-a,  an 
eloquent  man,  and  mighty  in  the 
scriptures,  came  to  Eph-6-sus. 

25  This  man  was  instructed  in  the 
way  of  the  Lord ; and  being  “fervent 
in  the  spirit,  he  spake  and  taught 
diligently  the  things  of  the  Lord, 
'knowing  only  the  baptism  of  John.

26  And  he  began  to  speak  boldly 

in  the  syna^gue : whom  when 
Aq-ui-la  and  Pris-gil-la  had  heard, 
they  took  him  unto  them,  and  ex- 
pounded unto  him  the  way  of  God 
more  perfectly. 

27  And  when  he  was  disposed 
to  pass  into  A-eha-ia,  the  brethren 
wrote,  exhorting  the  disciples  to 
receive  him : who,  when  he  was 
come,  “helped  them  much  which 
had  believed  through  grace:

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while 
jLA.  A-p6l-l5s  was  at  -Cbr-inth,  Paul 
having  passed  through  the  upper 
coasts  came  to  Eph-e-siis : and  find- 
ing certain  disciples, 

2 He  said  unto  them.  Have  ye 
received  the  Holy  Ghost  since  ye 
believed'?  And  they  said  unto  him, 
•''We  have  not  so  much  as  heard 
whether  there  be  any  Holy  Ghost. 

3 And  he  said  unto  them.  Unto 
what  then  were  ye  baptized '?  And 
they  said,  ^Unto  John’s  baptism. 

4 Then  said  Paul,  '^John  verily 
baptized  with  the  baptism  of  re- 
pentance, saying  unto  the  people, 
that  they  should  believe  on  him 
which  should  come  after  him,  that 
is,  on  -Ghrist  Je-stis. 

5 When  they  heard  this,  they  were 
baptized  4n  the  name  of  the  Lord 
Je-sus. 

6 And  when  Paul  had  ’“laid  his 
hands  upon  them,  the  Holy  Ghost 
came  on  them ; and  “ they  spake 
with  tongues,  and  prophesied. 

7 And  all  the  men  were  about 
twelve. 

8 ®And  he  went  into  the  syna- 
gogue, and  spake  boldly  for  the 
space  of  three  months,  disputing 
and  persuading  the  things  ’‘con- 
cerning the  kingdom  of  God. 

9 But  *when  divers  were  hard- 
ened, and  believed  not,  but  spake 
evil  * of  that  way  before  the  multi- 
tude, he  departed  from  them,  and 
seiDarated  the  disciples,  disputing 
daily  in  the  school  of  one  Ty-ran- 
nus. 

10  And  *this  continued  by  the 
space  of  two  years ; so  that  all 
they  which  dwelt  in  A-si-a  heard 
the  word  of  the  Lord  Je-stis,  both 
Jews  and  Greeks. 

11  And  ''God  wrought  special  mir- 
acles by  the  hands  of  Paul : 

12  ‘^Bo  that  from  his  body  were

uproar  against  Paul, 


brought  unto  the  sick  handker- 
chiefs or  aprons,  and  the  diseases 
departed  from  them,  and  the  evil 
spirits  went  out  of  them. 

13  U “Then  certain  of  the  vaga- 
bond Jews,  exorcists,  *’took  upon 
them  to  call  over  them  which  had 
evil  spirits  the  name  of  the  Lord 
Je-sus,  saying,  We  adjure  you  by 
Je-sus  whom  raul  preacheth. 

14  And  there  were  seven  sons  of 
one  Sge-va,  a Jew,  and  chief  of  the 
priests,  which  did  so.  _ 

15  And  the  evil  spirit  answered 
and  said,  Je-siis  I know,  and  Paul 
I know;  but  who  are  yel 

1 6 And  the  man  in  whom  the  evil 
spirit  was  leaped  on  them,  and  over- 
came them,  and  prevailed  against 
them,  so  that  they  fled  out  of  that 
house  naked  and  wounded. 

17  And  this  was  known  to  all  the 
Jews  and  Greeks  also  dwelling  at 
Eph-e-stis ; and  ® fear  fell  on  them 
all,  and  the  name  of  the  Lord  Je-siis 
was  magnified. 

18  And  many  that  believed  came, 
and  -^confessed,  and  shewed  their 
deeds. 

19  Many  of  them  also  which  used 
curious  arts  brought  their  books  to- 
gether, and  burned  them  before  all 
men:  and  they  counted  the  price  of 
them,  and  found  it  fifty  thousand 
pieces  of  silver. 

20  * So  mightily  grew  the  word  of 
God  and  prevailed. 

21  ^ * After  these  things  were 
ended,  Paul  * purposed  in  the  spirit, 
when  he  had  passed  through  Mag- 
6-do-ni-a  and  A-cha-ia,  to  go  to 
JAru-sd-lem,  saying.  After  I have 
been  there,  must  also  see  Pome. 

22  So  he  sent  into  Ma9-e-do-ni-a 
two  of  ”them  that  ministered  unto 
him,  Ti-mo-the-us  and  “ E-ras^tus ; 
but  he  himself  stayed  in  A-si-a  for 
a season. 

23  And  ^the  same  time  there  arose 
no  small  stir  about  ®that  way. 

24  For  a certain  man  named  DA 
me-tri-us,  a silversmith,  which  made 
silver  shrines  for  Dl-a-na,  brought 
*‘no  small  gain  unto  the  craftsmen  ; 

25  Whom  he  called  together  with 
the  workmen  of  like  occupation, 
and  said.  Sirs,  ye  know  that  by  this 
craft  we  have  our  wealth. 

26  Moreover  ye  see  and  hear,  that 
not  alone  at  Eph-e-stis,  but  almost 
throughout  all  A-si-a,  this  Paul  hath 
persuaded  and  turned  away  much 
people,  saying  that  ®they  be  no 
gods,  which  are  made  with  hands: 

27  So  that  not  only  this  our  craft 
is  in  danger  to  be  set  at  nought ; but 
also  that  the  temple  of  the  great

into  the  theatre. 

30  And  when  Paul  would  have 
entered  in  unto  the  people,  the 
disciples  suffered  him  not. 

31  And  certain  of  the  chief  of 
A-si-a,  which  were  his  friends,  sent 
unto  him,  desiring  him  that  he. 
would  not  adventure  himself  into 
the  theatre. 

32  Some  therefore  cried  one  thing, 
and  some  another : for  the  assembly 
was  confused;  and  the  more  part 
knew  not  wherefore  they  were  come 
together. 

33  And  they  drew  Al-6:|-an-d6r 
out  of  the  multitude,  the  Jews  put- 
ting him  forward.  And  ^ Al-6x-an- 
dfir  ^beckoned  with  the  hand,  and 
would  have  made  his  defence  unto 
the  people. 

34  But  when  they  knew  that  he 
was  a Jew,  all  with  one  voice  about 
the  space  of  two  hour^  cried  out, 
Great  is  Di-a-na  of  the  E-phe-sians. 

35  And  when  the  townclerk  had 
appeased  the  people,  he  said.  Ye 
men  of  Eph-6-sus,  what  man  is  there 
that  knoweth  not  how  that  the  city 
of  the  E-ph  Asians  is  ^a  worshipper 
of  the  ^reat  goddess  Di-a-na,  and 
of  the  tmage  which  fell  down  from 
Ju-pi-terl 

36  Seeing  then  that  these  things 
cannot  be  spoken  against,  ye  ought 
to  be  quiet,  and  to  do  nothing  rashly. 

37  For  ye  have  brought  hither 
these  men,  which  are  neither  rob- 
bers of  churches,  nor  yet  blasphem- 
ers of  your  goddess. 

38  Wherefore  if  De-me- tri-us,  and 
the  craftsihen  which  are  with  him, 
have  a matter  against  anj  man,  ^ the 
law  is  open,  and  there  are  deputies ; 
let  them  implead  one  another. 

39  But  if  ye  enquire  any  thing  con- 
cerning other  matters,  it  shall  be 
determined  in  a ^lawful  assembly. 

40  For  we  are  in  danger  to  be 
called  in  question  for  this  day’s 
uproar,  there  being  no  cause  where- 
by we  may  give  an  account  of  this 
concourse. 

41  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  dismissed  the  assembly.

CHAPTER 

1 Paul  goeth  to  Macedonia : 7 celebrateth  the  Lord's  supper, 
and  preacheth.  10  Eutychus  is  raised  to  life.  17  Paul's 
charge  to  the  elders  of  Ephesus. 

AND  after  the  uproar  was  ceased, 
Paul  called  unto  him  the  dis- 
ciples, and  embraced  them,  and  “de- 
parted for  to  go  into  Ma9-6-do-ni-a. 

2 And  when  he  had  gone  over 
those  parts,  and  had  given  them 
much  exhortation,  he  came  into 
Grreece 

3 And  there  abode  jthree  months. 
And  ®when  the  Jews  laid  wait 
for  him,  as  he  was  about  to  sail 
into  Syr4-a,  he  purp9sed  to  return 
through  MaQ-e-do-ni-a. 

_4  And  there  accompanied  him  into 
A-si-a  S5p-a-ter  of  JBe-re-a ; and  of 
the  Th6s-sa-lo~m-ans,  ^Ar-is-tar-ehus 
and  Se-cun-dus ; and  ^Ga-itis  of 
Der-be,  and  * Ti-mo-thS-tis ; and  of 
A-si-a,  ^Tych4-eus  and  ^Tr5ph4- 
nius. 

5 These  going  before  tarried  for 
us  at  Tro-as. 

6 And  we  sailed  away  from  Phi- 
lip-pi  after  "the  days  of  unleavened 
bread,  and  came  unto  them  ^to 
Tro-as  in  five  days ; where  we  abode 
seven  days. 

7 And  upon  *the  first  day  of  the 
week,  when  the  disciples  came  toge- 
ther “to  break  bread,  Paul  preached 
unto  them,  ready  to  depart  on  the 
morrow ; and  continued  his  speech 
until  midnight. 

8 And  there  were  many  lights  ^in 
the  upper  chamber,  where  they 
were  gathered  together. 

9 And  there  sat  in  a window  a 
certain  young  man  named  Eu-ty- 
■ehus,  being  fallen  into  a deep  sleep : 
and  as  Paul  was  long  preaching,  he 
sunk  down  with  sleep,  and  fell  down 
from  the  third  loft,  and  was  taken 
up  dead. 

10  And  Paul  went  down,  and  "fell 
on  him,  and  embracing  him  said, 
■''Trouble  not  yourselves  ; for  his  life 
is  in  him. 

11  When  he  therefore  was  come 
up  again,  and  had  broken  bread,  and 
eaten,  and  talked  a long  while,  even 
till  break  of  day,  so  he  departed. 

12  And  they  brought  the  young 
man  alive,  and  were  not  a little 
comforted. 

13  ^ And  we  went  before  to  ship, 
and  sailed  unto  As-s5s,  there  intend- 
ing to  take  in  Paul : for  so  had  he 
appointed,  minding  himself  to  go 
afoot. 

14  And  when  he  met  with  us  at 
As-sOs,  we  took  him  in,  and  came 
to  Mlf>y-le-ne. 

15  And  we  sailed  thence,  and  came

the  next  day  over  against  ^hi-Os ; 

and  the  next  day  we  arrived  at 
Sa-m5s,  and  tarried  at  Tr6-gyl- 
li-tim;  and  the  next  day  we  came 
to  Ml-le-tus.  . 1 . 

16  For  Paul  had  determined  to 
sail  by  Eph-e-sus,  because  he  would 
not  spend  the  time  in  A-si-a : for  *he 
hasted,  if  it  were  possible  for  him, 
"to  be  at  JAru-sa-lem  ‘^the  day  of 
Pen-te-chst. 

17  ^ And  from  Mi-le-tus  he  sent 
to  Eph-e-sus,  and  called  the  elders 
of  the  church. 

18  And  when  they  were  come  to 
him,  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  know, 
■''from  the  first  day  that  I came  into 
A-si-a,  after  what  manner  I have 
been  with  you  at  all  seasons, 

19  Serving  the  Lord  with  all  hu- 
mility of  mind,  and  with  many  tears, 
and  temptations,  which  befeh  me 
”"by  tbe  lying  in  wait  of  the  Jews  : 

20  And  how  “I  kept  back  nothing 

that  was  profitable  unto  you,  but 
have  shewed  you,  and  have  taught 
you  publickly,  and  from  house  to 
house,  _ 

21  » Testifying  both  to  the  Jews, 
and  also  to  the  Greeks,  ’’repentance 
toward  God,  and  faith  toward  our 
Lord  Je-siis  -Christ. 

22  And  now,  behold,  H go  bound 
in  the  spirit  unto  JAru-sa-lem,  not 
knowing  the  things  that  shall  be- 
fall me  there : 

23  Save  that  ^the  Holy  Ghost  wit- 
nesseth  in  every  city,  saying  that 
bonds  and  afflictions  ^ abide  me. 

24  But  ^none  of  these  things  move 
me,  neither  count  I my  life  dear 
unto  myself,  “so  that  I might  finish 
my  course  with  joy,  '‘and  the  minis- 
try, "which  I have  received  of  the 
Lord  Je-stis,  to  testify  the  gospel  of 
the  grace  of  God. 

25  And  now,  behold,  ‘'I  know  that 
ye  all,  among  whom  I have  gone 
preaching  the  kingdom  of  God, 
shall  see  my  face  no  more. 

26  Wherefore  I take  you  to  record 
this  day,  that  I am  ^pure  from  the 
blood  of  all  men. 

27  For  have  not  shunned  to 
declare  unto  you  all  ’the  counsel  of 
God. 

28  ^ *^Take  heed  therefore  unto 
yourselves,  and  to  all  the  flock, 
over  the  which  the  Holy  Ghost 
'hath  made  you  overseers,  to  feed 
tbe  church  of  God,  ’“which  he  hath 
purchased  “with  his  own  blood. 

29  For  I know  this,  that  after  my 
departing  "shall  grievous  wolves 
enter  in  among  you,  not  sparing 
the  flock. 

30  Also  ^of  your  own  selves  shall

men  arise,  speaking  perverse  things, 
to  draw  away  disciples  after  them. 

.31  Therefore  watch,  and  remem- 
ber, that  “by  the  space  of  three 
years  I ceased  not  to  warn  every 
one  night  and  day  with  tears. 

32  And  now,  brethren,  I commend 
you  to  God,  and  ‘^to  the  word  of  his 
grace,  which  is  able  ®to  build  you 
up,  and  to  give  you  -^an  inheritance 
among  all  them  which  are  sanctified. 

33  ^ I have  coveted  no  man’s  silver, 
or  gold,  or  apparel. 

34  Yea,  ye  yourselves  know,  *that 
these  hands  have  ministered  unto 
my  necessities,  and  to  them  that 
were  with  me. 

35  I have  shewed  you  all  things, 
*how  that  so  labouring  ye  ought  to 
support  the  weak,  and  to  remember 
the  words  of  the  Lord  Je-stis,  how 
he  said.  It  is  more  blessed  to  give 
than  to  receive. 

36  U And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  ” kneeled  down,  and  prayed  with 
them  all. 

37  And  they  all  wept  sore,  and  "fell 
on  Paul’s  neck,  and  kissed  him, 

38  Sorrowing  most  of  all  for  the 
words  ''which  he  spake,  that  they 
should  see  his  face  no  more.  And 
they  accompanied  him  unto  the 
ship.

1 Paul  will  not  be  dissuaded  from  going  to  Jerusalem  : 27 

where  he  is  apprehended,  and  in  great  danger,  31  but  is 

permitted  to  speak  to  the  people. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that  after 
XI-  we  were  gotten  from  them, 
and  had  launched,  we  came  with  a 
straight  course  unto  -Go-Cs,  and  the 
day  following  unto  Rhodes,  and 
from  thence  unto  Pat-a-ra: 

2 And  finding  a ship  sailing  over 
unto  Phe-ni-ci-a,  we  went  aboard, 
and  set  forth. 

3 Now  when  we  had  discovered 
Cy-prus,  we  left  it  on  the  left  hand, 
and  sailed  into  Syr4-a,  and  landed 
at  Tyre : for  there  the  ship  was  to 
unlade  her  burden. 

4 And  finding  disciples,  we  tarried 
there  seven  days:  *who  said  to  Paul 
through  the  Spirit,  that  he  should 
not  go  up  to  JAru-sa-lem. 

5 And  when  we  had  accomplished 
those  days,  we  departed  ana  went 
our  way;  and  they  all  brought  us 
on  our  way,  with  wives  and  chil- 
dren, till  we  were  out  of  the  city: 
and  “we  kneeled  down  on  the  shore, 
and  prayed. 

6 And  when  we  had  taken  our 
leave  one  of  another,  we  took  ship  ; 
and  they  returned  *home  again. 

7 And  when  we  had  finished  our 
course  from  Tyre,  we  came  to  Pt5l-

e-ma-is,  and  saluted  the  brethren, 
and  abode  with  them  one  day. 

8 And  the  next  day  we  that  were 
of  Paul’s  company  departed,  and 
came  unto  Cses-a-re-a : and  we  en- 
tered into  the  house  of  Phil-ip  Hhe 
evangelist,  ‘'which  was  one  of  the 
seven ; and  abode  with  him. 

9 And  the  same  man  had  four 
daughters,  virgins,  ^ which  did  pro- 
phesy. 

10  And  as  we  tarried  there  many 
days,  there  came  down  from  Ju- 
dse-a  a certain  prophet,  named 
*Ag-a-bus. 

11  And  when  he  was  come  unto 
us,  he  took  Paul’s  girdle,  and  bound 
his  own  hands  and  feet,  and  said. 
Thus  saith  the  Holy  Ghost,  "‘So 
shall  the  Jews  at  JAru-sa-lem  bind 
the  man  that  owneth  this  girdle, 
and  shall  deliver  him  into  the 
hands  of  the  Oen-tiles. 

1 2 And  when  we  heard  these 
things,  both  we,  and  they  of  that 
place,  besought  him  not  to  go  up 
to  Je-ru-sa-lem. 

13  Then  Paul  answered,  ^’What 
mean  ye  to  weep  and  to  break  mine 
heart  1 for  I am  ready  not  to  be 
bound  only,  but  also  to  die  at  JA 
ru-sa-lem  for  the  name  of  the  Lord 
JAsus. 

14  And  when  he  would  not  be 
persuaded,  we  ceased,  saying,  "The 
will  of  the  Lord  be  done. 

15  And  after  those  days  we  took 
up  our  carriages,  and  went  up  to 
Je-ru-sa-lem. 

16  There  went  with  us  also  cer- 
tain of  the  disciples  of  Cses-a-re-A 
and  brought  with  them 'one  Mna- 
s5n  of  Gy-prus,  an  old  disciple,  with 
whom  we  should  lodge. 

17  *And  when  we  were  come  to 
Je-ru-sa-lem,  the  brethren  received 
us  gladly. 

18  And  the  day  following  Paul 
went  in  with  us  unto  * James ; and 
all  the  elders  were  present. 

19  And  when  he  had  saluted 
them,  “he  declared  particularly 
what  things  God  had  wrought  a- 
mong  the  Gen- tiles  ^by  his  ministry. 

20  And  when  they  heard  it,  they 

glorified  the  Lord,  and  said  unto 
im.  Thou  seest,  brother,  how 
many  thousands  of  J ews  there  are 
which  believe ; and  they  are  all 
* zealous  of  the  law : 

2 1  And  they  are  informed  of  th^e, 
that  thou  teachest  all  the_  Jews 
which  are  among  the  Gen-tiles  to 
forsake  Mo-ses,  saying  that  they 
ought  not  to  circumcise  their  chil- 
dren, neither  to  walk  after  the 
customs.

Pmd  is  apvrehended.  THE  ACTS,  22. He  is  permitted  to  speak. 


22  What  is  it  therefore?  the  mul- 
titude must  needs  come  together : 
for  they  will  hear  that  thou  art  come. 

23  Do  therefore  this  that  we  say 
to  thee : We  have  four  men  which 
have  a vow  on  them ; 

24  Them  take,  and  purify  thyself 
with  them,  and  be  at  charges  with 
them,  that  they  may  ^ shave  their 
heads  : and  all  may  know  that  those 
things,  whereof  they  were  informed 
concerning  thee,  are  nothing ; but 
that  thou  thyself  also  walkest  or- 
derly, and  keepest  the  law. 

25  As  touching  the  Oen-tiles  which 
believe,  ‘^we  have  written  and  con- 
cluded that  they  observe  no  such 
thing,  save  only  that  they  keep 
themselves  from  things  offered  to 
idols,  and  from  blood,  and  from 
strangled,  and  from  fornication. 

26  Then  Paul  took  the  men,  and 
the  next  day  purifying  himself  with 
them  -^entered  into  the  temple,  ^to 
signify  the  accomplishment  of  the 
days  of  purification,  until  that  an 
offering  should  be  offered  for  every 
one  of  them. 

27  And  when  the  s^en  days  were 
almost  ended,  Hhe  Jews  which  were 
of  A-si-a,  when  they  saw  him  in  the 
temple,  stirred  up  all  the  people, 
and  *laid  hands  on  him, 

28  Crying  out.  Men  of  Is-ra-M, 
help  : This  is  the  man,  'that  teach- 
eth  all  men  every  where  against 
the  people,  and  the  law,  and  this 
place  : and  further  brought  Greeks 
also  into  the  temple,  and  hath  pol- 
luted this  holy  place. 

29  (For  they  had  seen  before  with 
him  in  the  city  ”Tr5ph-i-mus  an  E-

Paul  had  brought  into  the  temple.) 

30  And  Pali  the  city  was  moved, 
and  the  people  ran  together:  and 
they  took  Paul,  and  drew  him  out 
of  the  temple : and  forthwith  the 
doors  were  shut. 

31  And  as  they  went  about  to  kill 
him,  tidings  came  unto  the  chief 
captain  of  the  band,  that  all  Je-ru- 
sa-l6m  was  in  an  uproar. 

32  ^Who  immediately  took  soldiers 
and  centurions,  and  ran  down  unto 
them : and  when  they  saw  the  chief 
captain  and  the  soldiers,  they  left 
beating  of  Paul. 

33  Then  the  chief  captain  came 
near,  and  took  him,  and  com- 
manded him  to  be  bound  with  two 
chains ; and  demanded  who  he  was, 
and  what  he  had  done. 

34  And  some  cried  one  thing, 
some  another,  among  the  multi- 
tude : and  when  he  could  not 
know  the  certainty  for  the  tu-

mult,  he  commanded  him  to  be 

carried  into  the  castle. 

35  And  when  he  came  upon  the 
stairs,  so  it  was,  that  he  was  borne 
of  the  soldiers  for  the  violence  of 
the  people. 

36  For  the  multitude  of  the  peo- 
ple followed  after,  crying,  “Away 
with  him. 

37  And  as  Paul  was  to  be  led  into 
the  castle,  he  said  unto  the  chief 
captain.  May  I speak  unto  thee? 
Who  said,  Canst  thou  speak  Greek  ? 

38  ‘'Art  not  thou  that  E-gyp-tian, 
which  before  these  days  madest 
an  uproar,  and  leddest  out  into  the 
wilderness  four  thousand  men  that 
were  murderers  ?

in  Ci-li-ci-a,  a citizen  of  no  mean 
city:  and,  I beseech  thee,  suffer 
me  to  speak  unto  the  people. 

40  And  when  he  had  given  him 
licence,  Paul  stood  on  the  stairs, 
and  '‘beckoned  with  the  hand  unto 
the  people.  And  when  there  was 
made  a great  silerme,  he  spake  unto 
them  in  the  He-bre'w  tongue,  saying,

CHAPTER  22. 

1 Paul  declareth  how  he  was  converted,  17  and  called  to  his 
apostleship.  ‘2S,  At  the  very  mentioning  of  the  Gentiles, 
the  people  exclaim  on  him.  25  Claiming  the  privilege  of 
a Roman,  he  escapeth  scourging. 

Men,  "‘brethren,  and  fathers,  hear 
ye  my  defence  which  I make 
now  unto  you. 

2  (And  when  they  l^ard  that  he 
spake  in  the  He-brew  tongue  to 
them,  they  kept  the  more  silence: 
and  he  saith,)  ^ 

3  "I  am  verily  a man  which  am 
a Jew,  born  in  Tar-sus,  a city  in 
Ci-li-ci-a,  yet  brought  up  in  this 
city  ''at  the  feet  of  ‘‘Ga-ma-li-el,  and 
taught  ^according  to  the  perfect 
manner  of  the  law  of  the  fathers, 
and  'was  zealous  toward  God,  “as 
ye  all  are  this  day. 

4  ''And  I persecuted  this  way  unto 
the  death,  binding  and  delivering 
into  prisons  both  men  and  women. 
5 As  also  the  high  priest  doth  bear 
me  witness,  and  'all  the  .estate  of 
the  elders : “from  whom  also  I re- 
ceived letters  unto  the  brethren,  and 
went  to  Da-mas-eus,  to  bring  them 
which  were  there  bound  unto  Je- 
ru-sa-l6m,  for  to  be  punished. 

6 And  ®it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  I 
made  my  journey,  and  was  come 
nigh  unto  Da-mas-etis  about  noon, 
suddenly;  there  shone  from  heaven 
a great  light  round  about  me. 

7 And  I fell  unto  the  ground,  and 
heard  a voice  saying  unto  me,  Saul, 
Saul,  why  persecutest  thou  me?

Of  PauVs  conversion.  THE  ACTS,  23.  He  pleadeth  his  cause. 


8 And  I answered,  Who  art  thou. 
Lord  % And  he  said  unto  me,  I am 
Je-sus  of  Naz-a-reth,  whom  thou 


A.D.  60. 


persecutest. 

9 And  “they  that  were  with  me  saw 
indeed  the  light,  and  were  afraid ; 
but  they  heard  not  the  voice  of  him 
that  spake  to  me. 

10  And  I said.  What  shall  I do. 
Lord  % And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Aiise,  and  go  into  Da-mas-eus ; and 
there  it  shall  be  told  thee  of  all 
things  which  are  appointed  for  thee 
to  do. 

11  And  when  I could  not  see  for 
the  glory  of  that  light,  being  led  by 
the  hand  of  them  that  were  with 
me,  I came  into  Da-mas-cus. 

12  And  ‘'one  An-a-ni-as,  a devout 
man  according  to  the  law^*^  having 
a good  report  of  all  the  ® Jews  which 
dwelt  there, 

13  Came  unto  me,  and  stood,  and 
said  unto  me,  Brother  Saul,  receive 
thy  sight.  And  the  same  hour  I 
looked  up  upon  him. 

14  And  he  said,  -^The  God  of  our 
fathers  ^hath  chosen  thee,  that  thou 
shouldest  know  his  will,  and  '‘see 
‘that  Just  One,  and  '^shouldest  hear 
the  voice  of  his  mouth. 

15  'For  thou  shalt  be  his  witness 
unto  all  men  of  "‘what  thou  hast 
seen  and  heard. 

16  And  now  why  tarriest  thou'? 
arise,  and  be  baptized,  "and  wash 
away  thy  sins,  "calling  on  the  name 
of  the  Lord. 

1 7 And  ^it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
I was  come  again  to  Je-ru-sd-lem, 
even  while  I prayed  in  the  temple, 
I was  in  a trance ; 

18  And  "saw  him  saying  unto  me, 
•Make  haste,  and  get  thee  quickly 
out  of  Je-ru-sa-lem : for  they  will 
not  receive  thy  testimony  concern- 
ing me. 

19  And  I said.  Lord,  "they  know 
that  I imprisoned  and  *beat  in  every 
synagogue  them  that  believed  on 
thee : 

20  'And  when  the  blood  of  thy 
martyr  Ste-phen  was  shed,  I also 
was  standing  by,  and  “consenting 
unto  his  death,  and  kept  the  rai- 
ment of  them  that  slew  him. 

21  And  he  said  unto  me.  Depart : 
‘'for  I will  send  thee  far  hence  unto 
the  G^n-tiles. 

22  And  they  gave  him  audience 
unto  this  word,  and  then  lifted  up 
their  voices,  and  said,  "Away  with 
such  2,  fellow  from  the  earth  : for  it 
is  not  fit  that  '‘he  should  live. 

23  And  as  they  cried  out,  and  cast 
off  their  clothes,  and  threw  dust  into 
the  air,

24  The  chief  captain  commanded 
him  to  be  brought'  into  the  castle, 
and  bade  that  he  should  be  examined 
by  scourging  ; that  he  might  know 
wherefore  they  cried  so  against  him. 

25  And  as  they  bound  him  with 
thongs,  Paul  said  unto  the  centu- 
rion that  stood  by,  ''Is  it  lawful 
for  you  to  scourge  a man  that  is  a 
Ro-man,  and  uncondemned  % 

26  When  the  centurion  heard  that, 
he  went  and  told  the  chief  captain, 
saying,  Take  heed  what  thou  doest: 
for  this  man  is  a Ro-man. 

27  Then  the  chief  captain  came, 
and  said  unto  him.  Tell  me,  art 
thou  a Ro-man'?  He  said.  Yea. 

28  And  the  chief  captain  answered, 
With  a great  sum  obtained  I this 
freedom.  And  Paul  said.  But  I was 
free  born. 

29  Then  straightway  they  departed 
from  him  which  should  have  'ex- 
amined him  : and  the  chief  captain 
also  was  afraid,  after  he  knew  that 
he  was  a Ro-man,  and  because  he 
had  bound  him. 

30  On  the  morrow,  because  he 
would  have  known  the  certainty 
wherefore  he  was  accused  of  the 
Jews,  he  loosed  him  from  bands, 
and  commanded  the  chief  priests 
and  all  their  council  to  appear,  and 
brought  Paul  down,  and  set  him 
before  them. 

CHAPTER  23. 

1 As  Paul  pleadeth  his  cause,  2 Ananias  commandeth  them 

to  smite  him.  14  The  Jews  lie  in  wait  for  Paul.  27  He 

is  sent  to  Felix  the  governor. 

AND  Paul,  earnestly  beholding 
the  council,  said.  Men  and  bre- 
thren, have  lived  in  all  good  con- 
science before  God  until  this  day. 

2 And  the  high  priest  An-a-ni^as 
commanded  them  that  stood  by  him 
'to  smite  him  on  the  mouth. 

3 Then  said  Paul  unto  him,  God 
shall  smite  thee,  thou  whited  wall : 
for  sittest  thou  to  judge  me  after 
the  law,  and  ^'commandest  me  to  be 
smitten  contrary  to  the  law  % 

4 And  they  that  stood  by  said, 
Revilest  thou  God’s  high  priest'? 

5 Then  said  Paul,  ''I  wist  not,  bre- 
thren, that  he  was  the  high  priest : 
for  it  is  written,  "Thou  shalt  not 
speak  evil  of  the  ruler  of  thy  people. 

6 But  when  Paul  perceived  that 
the  one  part  were  Sad-du-9ees,  and 
the  other  Phar-i-sees,  he  cried  out 
in  the  council.  Men  and  brethren, 

am  a Phar-i-see,  the  son  of  a 
Phar-i-see : ^'of  the  hope  and  resur- 
rection of  the  dead  I am  called  in 
question. 

7 And  when  he  had  so  said,  there 
arose  a dissension  between  the 


Conspiracy  against  Paul.  THE  ACTS,  23. He  is  sent  to  Felix. 


Phar4-sees  and  the  Sad^u-9ees : 
and  the  multitude  was  divided. 

8 ® For  the  Sad-du-9ees  say  that 
there  is  no  resurrection,  neither 
angel,  nor  spirit : but  the  Phari- 
sees confess  both. 

9 And  there  arose  a great  cry : 
and  the  scribes  that  were  of  the 
Phar-i-sees’  part  arose,  and  strove, 
saying.  *We  find  no  evil  in  this 
man:  out  “if  a spirit  or  an  angel 
hath  spoken  to  him,  ‘^let  us  not 
fight  against  God. 

10  And  when  there  arose  a great 
dissension,  the  chief  captain,  fearing 
lest  Paul  should  have  been  pulled 
in  pieces  of  them,  commanded  the 
soldiers  to  go  down,  and  to  take 
him  by  force  from  among  them, 
and  to  bring  him  into  the  castle. 

11  And  Hhe  night  folloAving  the 
Lord  stood  by  him,  and  said.  Be  of 
good  cheer,  Paul : for  as  thou  hast 
testified  of  me  in  JAru-sa-lem,  so 
must  thou  bear  witness  also  at 
Rome. 

1 2 And  when  it  was  day,  -^certain 
of  the  J^s  banded  together,  and 
bound  themselves  ^ under  a curse, 
saying  that  they  would  neither  eat 
nor  drink  till  they  had  killed  Paul. 

1 3 And  they  were  more  than  forty 
which  had  made  this  conspiracy. 

14  And  they  came  to  the  chief 
priests  and  elders,  and  said.  We 
have  bound  ourselves  under  a great 
curse,  that  we  will  eat  nothing  until 
we  have  slain  Paul. 

15  Now  therefore  ye  with  the 
council  signify  to  the  chief  captain 
that  he  bring  him  down  unto  you 
to  morrow,  as  though  ye  would  en- 
quire something  more  perfectly  con- 
cerning him : and  we,  or  ever  he 
come  near,  are  ready  to  kill  him. 

16  And  when  Paul’s  sister’s  son 
heard  of  their  lying  in  wait,  he  went 
and  entered  into  the  castle,  and  told 
Paul. 

17  Then  Paul  called  one  of  the 
centurions  unto  him,  and  said. 
Bring  this  young  man  unto  the 
chief  captain : for  he  hath  a cer- 
tain thing  to  tell  him. 

18  So  he  took  him,  and  brought 
him  to  the  chief  captain,  and  said, 
Paul  the  prisoner  called  me  unto 
him,  and  prayed  me  to  bring  this 
young  man  unto  thee,  who  hath 
something  to  say  unto  thee. 

1 9 Then  the  chief  captain  took  him 
by  the  hand,  and  went  with  him 
aside  privately,  and  asked  hi7ii. 
What  IS  that  thou  hast  to_tell  me  1 

20  And  he  said,  ^The  Jews  have 
agreed  to  desire  thee  that  thou 
wouldest  bring  down  Paul  to  mor-

row  into  the  council,  as  though 

they  would  enquire  somewhat  of 
him  more  perfectly. 

21  But  do  not  thou  yield  unto 
them : for  there  lie  in  wait  for  him 
of  them  more  than  forty  men, 
which  have  bound  themselves  with 
an  oath,  that  they  will  neither  eat 
nor  drink  till  they  have  killed  him : 
and  now  are  they  ready,  looking 
for  a promise  from  thee. 

22  So  the  chief  captain  then  let 
the  young  man  depart,  and  charged 
him.  See  thou  tell  no  man  that  thou 
hast  shewed  these  things  to  me. 

23  And  he  called  unto  him  two

centurions,  saying.  Make  ready  two 
hundred  soldiers  to  go  to  Cses-a-re-a, 
and  horsemen  threescore  and  ten, 
and  spearmen  two  hundred,  at  the 
third  hour  of  the  night ; 

24  And  provide  them  beasts,  that 
they  may  set  Paul  on,  and  bring 
him  safe  unto  Fedix  the  governor. 

25  And  he  wrote  a letter  after  this

27  ^This  man  was  taken  of  the 
Jew§,  and  should  have  been  killed 
of  them : then  came  I with  an  army, 
and  rescued  him,  having  understood 
that  he  was  a Ro-man. 

28  '‘And  when  I would  have  known 
the  cause  wherefore  they  accused 
him,  I brought  him  forth  into  their 
council : 

29  Whom  I perceived  to  be  accused 
‘of  questions  of  their  law,  *but  to 
have  nothing  laid  to  his  charge 
worthy  of  death  or  of  bonds. 

30  And  'when  it  was  told  me  how

and  ‘"gave  commandment  to  his  ac- 
cusers also  to  say  before  thee  what 
they  had  against  him.  Farewell. 

31  Then  the  soldiers,  as  it  was 
commanded  them,  took  Paul,  and 
brought  him  by  night  to  An-tip-

32  On  the  morrow  they  left  the 
horsemen  to  go  with  him,  and  re- 
turned to  the  castle :

2 And  when  he  was  called  forth, 
Ter-tul-lus  began  to  accuse  him, 
saying.  Seeing  that  by  thee  we  en- 
joy great  quietness,  and  that  very 
worthy  deeds  are  done  unto  this 
nation  by  thy  providence, 

3 We  accept  it  always,  and  in  all 
places,  most  noble  Fedix,  with  all 
thankfulness. 

4 Notwithstanding,  that  I be  not 
further  tedious  unto  thee,  I pray 
thee  that  thou  wouldest  hear  us  of 
thy  clemency  a few  words. 

5 ^For  we  have  found  this  man  a 

Sestilent  fellow,  and  a mover  of  se- 
ition  among  all  the  J^s  through- 
out the  world,  and  a ringleader  of 
the  sect  of  the  Naz-a-renes'; 

6  *Who  also  hath  gone  about  to 
profane  the  temple : whom  we  took, 
and  would  ^have  judged  according 
to  our  law. 

7  ”But  the  chief  captain  Lys-i-as 
came  wpon  us,  and  with  great  vio- 
lence took  him  away  out  of  our 
hands, 

8  "Commanding  his  accusers  to 
come  unto  thee:  by  examining  of 
whom  thyself  mayest  take  knowl- 
edge of  all  these  things,  whereof 
we  accuse  him. 

^ 9 And  the  Je"ws  also  assented,  say- 
ing that  these  things  were  so. 

10  Then  Paul,  after  that  the  gov- 
ernor had  beckoned  unto  him  to 
speak,  answered.  Forasmuch  as  I 
know  that  thou  hast  been  of  many 
years  a judge  unto  this  nation,  I 
do  the  more  cheerfully  answer  for 
myself : 

11  Because  that  thou  mayest  un- 
derstand, that  there  are  yet  but 
twelve  clays  since  I went  up  to 
Je-ru-sa-lem  ’"for  to  worship. 

1 2  *And  they  neither  found  me  in 
the  temple  disputing  with  any  man, 
neither  raising  up  the  people,  neither 
in  the  synagogues,  nor  in  the  city : 

13  Neither  can  they  prove  the 
things  whereof  they  now  accuse  me. 

14  But  this  I confess  unto  thee, 
that  after  “the  way  which  they  call 
heresy,  so  worship  I the  "‘'God  of 
my  fathers,  believing  all  things 
which  are  written  in  ^the  law  and 
in  the  prophets : 

15  And  *have  hope  toward  God, 
which  they  themselves  also  allow.

“that  there  shall  be  a resurrection 
of  the  dead,  both  of  the  just  and 
unjust. 

16  And  ^herein  do  I exercise  my- 
self, to  have  always  a conscience 
void  of  offence  toward  God,  and 
toward  men. 

17  Now  after  many  years  “I  came 
to  bring  alms  to  my  nation,  and 
offerings. 

18/ Whereupon  certain  J^s  from 
A-si-a  found  me  purified  in  the 
temple,  neither  with  multitude, 
nor  with  tumult. 

19  ^Who  ought  to  have  been  here 
before  thee,  and  object,  if  they  had 
ought  against  me. 

20  Or  else  let  these  same  here  say, 
if  they  have  found  any  evil  doing 
in  me,  while  I stood  before  the 
council, 

21  Except  it  be  for  this  one  voice, 
that  I cried  standing  among  them, 
* Touching  the  resurrection  of  the 
dead  I am  called  in  question  by 
you  this  day. 

22  And  when  Fedix  heard  these 
things,  having  more  perfect  knowl- 
edge of  that  way,  he  deferred 
them,  and  said.  When  "“Lys4-as  the 
chief  captain  shall  come  down,  I 
will  know  the  uttermost  of  your 
matter. 

23  And  he  commanded  a centurion 
to  keep  Paul,  and  to  let  him  haye 
liberty,  and  ^that  he  should  forbid 
none  of  his  acquaintance  to  minister 
or  come  unto  him. 

24  And  after  certain  days,  when 
Fedix  came  with  his  wife  Dru-sil-la, 
which  was  a J^-ess,  he  sent  for 
Paul,  and  heard  him  concerning 
the  faith  in  -Ghrist. 

25  And  as  he  reasoned  of  right- 
eousness, temperance,  and  judg- 
ment to  come,  Fedix  trembled,  and 
answered.  Go  thy  way  for  this  time ; 
when  I have  a convenient  season,  I 
will  call  for  thee. 

26  He  hoped  also  that  ® money 
should  have  been  given  him  of 
Paul,  that  he  might  loose  him : 
wherefore  he  sent  for  him  the 
oftener,  and  communed  with  him. 

27  But  after  two  years  Por-cius 
Fes-tiis  came  into  Fedix’  room^and 
Fedix,  * willing  to  shew  the  Jews  a 
pleasure,  left  Paul  bound. 

CHAPTER  25. 

1 The  Jews  accuse  Paul  before  Festus.  8 He  answereth  for 

himself,  11  and  appealeth  unto  Ccesar.  14  Festus  openeth 

his  matter  to  king  Agrippa. 

IVT OW  when  Fgs-tiis  was  come 
l\  into  the  province,  after  three 
days  he  ascended  from  C0es-S,-re-a 
to  Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

2 “Then  the  high  priest  and  the

chief  of  the  J^s  informed  him 
against  Paul,  and  besought  him, 

3 And  desired  favour  against  him, 
that  he  would  send  for  him  to  Jo- 
ru-sa-lem,  “laying  wait  in  the  way 
to  kill  him. 

4 But  Fes-tus  answered,  that  Paul 
should  be  kept  at  Caes-a-re-a,  and 
that  he  himself  would  depart  shortly 
thither. 

5 Let  them  therefore,  said  he,  which 
among  you  are  able,  go  down  with 
me,  and  accuse  this  man,  ‘'if  there 
be  any  wickedness  in  him. 

6 And  when  he  had  tarried  among 
them  ^ more  than  ten  days,  he  went 
down  unto  Cses-a-re^ ; and  the  next 
day  sitting"  on  the  judgment  seat 
commanded  Paul  to  be  brought. 

7 And  when  he  was  come,  the 
Jews  which  came  down  from  Jo- 
ru-sa-lem  stood  round  about,  ®and 
laid  many  and  grievous  complaints 
against  Paul,  which  they  could  not 
prove. 

8 While  he  answered  for  himself, 
•^Neither  against  the  law  of  the 
J^s,  neither  against  the  temple, 
nor  yet  against  Cic-sar,  have  I of- 
fended any  thing  at  all. 

9_But  Fes-tus,  '^willing  to  do  the 
J^s  a pleasure,  answered  Paul, 
and  said,  *Wilt  thou  go  up  to  JA 
ru-sa-lem,  and  there  be  judged  of 
these  things  before  mel 

10  Then  said  Paul,  I stand  at  Cse- 
§ar’s  judgment  seat,  where  I ought 
to  be  judged:  to  the  Jews  have  I 
done  no  wrong,  as  thou  very  well 
knowest. 

11  *For  if  I be  an  offender,  or 
have  committed  any  thing  worthy 
of  death,  I refuse  not  to  die : but 
if  there  be  none  of  these  things 
whereof  these  accuse  me,  no  man 
may  deliver  me  unto  them. 
appeal  unto  Cae-sar. 

12  Then  F6s-tus,  when  he  had 
conferred  with  the  council,  an- 
swered, Hast  thou  appealed  unto 
Cse-sar  1 unto  Cse^ar  shalt  thou  go. 

"13  And  after  certain  days  king 
A-grip-pa  and  Ber-m-ge  came  unto 
Cses-a-re-a  to  salute  Fgs-tus. 

1 4 And  when  they  had  been  there 
many  days,  Fes-tus  declared  Paul’s 
cause  unt9  the  king,  saying,  ^ There 
is  a certain  man  left  in  bonds  by

15  ^About  whom,  when  I was  at  ’•ver.  2, 3. 
Je-ru-sa-lem,  the  chief  priests  and 

the  elders  of  the  Jews  informed 
me,  desiring  to  have  judgment  a- 
gainst  him. 

16  *To  whom  I answered.  It  is  not  * ver.  4, 5. 
the  manner  of  the  Ro-man§  to  de- 
liver any  man  to  die,  before  that 


he  which  is  accused  have  the  ac- 

cusers face  to  face,  and  have  licence 
to  answer  for  himself  concerning 
the  crime  laid  against  him. 

1 7 Therefore,  when  they  were 
come  hither,  * without  any  delay  on 
the  morrow  I sat  on  the  judgment 
seat,  and  commanded  the  man  to 
be  brought  forth. 

18  Against  whom  when  the  ac- 
cusers stood  up,  they  brought  none 
accusation  of  such  things  as  I sup- 
posed : 

19  ‘*But  had  certain  questions  a- 
gainst  him  of  their  own  superstition, 
and  of  one  Je-sus,  which  was  dead, 
whom  Paul  affirmed  to  be  alive. 

20  And  because  H doubted  of  such 
manner  of  questions,  I asked  him 
whether  he  would  go  to  Je-ru-sa- 
lem,  and  there  be  judged  of  these 
matters. 

21  But  when  Paul  had  appealed 
to  be  reserved  unto  the  ^hearing 
of  Au-gus-tiis,  I commanded  him 
to  be  kept  till  I might  send  him 
to  Cae-sar.  ^ 

22"  Then  ^A-grip-pa  said  unto  Fes- 
tus, I would  also  hear  the  man 
myself.  To  morrow,  said  he,  thou 
shalt  hear  him. 

23  And  on  the  morrow,  when  A- 
grip-pa  was  come,  and  Ber-ni-^e, 
with  great  pomp,  and  was  entered 
into  the  place  of  hearing,  with  the 
chief  captains,  and  principal  men 
of  the  city,  at  Fes-tus’  command- 
ment Paul  was  brought  forth.  ^ 

24  And  Fes-tus  said.  King  A- 

g rip-pa,  and  all  men  which  are 
ere  present  with  us,  ye  see  this 
man,  about  whom  ^all  the  multi- 
tude of  the  JeTws  have  dealt  with 
me,  both  at  Je-ru-sa-lem,  and  also 
here,  crying  that  he  ought  not  to 
live  any  longer. 

25  But  when  I found  that  ‘’he 
had  committed  nothing  worthy  of 
death,  ^ and  that  he  himself  hath 
appealed  to  Au-gus-tiis,  I have  de- 
termined to  send  him. 

26  Of  whom  I have  no  certain 
thing  to  write  unto  my  lord.  Where- 
fore I have  brought  him  forth  be- 
fore you,  and  specially  before  thee, 
O king  A-grm-pa,  that,  after  exami- 
nation had,  I might  have  somewhat 
to  write. 

27  For  it  seemeth  to  me  unreason- 
able to  send  a prisoner,  and  not  with- 
al to  signify  the  crimes  laid  against 
him.

thyself.  Then  Paul  stretched  forth 
the  hand,  and  answered  for  himself : 

2 I think  myself  happy,  king  A- 
grip-pa,  because  I shall  answer  for 
myself  this  day  before  thee  touch- 
ing all  the  things  whereof  I am 
accused  of  the  Je'ws : 

3 Especially  because  I know  thee 
to  be  expert  in  all  customs  and 
questions  which  are  among  the 
J^s : wherefore  I beseech  thee  to 
hear  me  patiently. 

4 My  manner  of  life  from  my 
youth,  which  was  at  the  first  a- 
mong  mine  own  natio^  at  JAru- 
sa-lem,  know  all  the  Jews; 

5 Which  knew  me  from  the  be- 
ginning, if  they  would  testify,  that 
after  ^ the  most  straitest  sect  of  our 
religion  I lived  a Phar 4-see. 

6 *And  now  I stand  and  am  judged 
for  the  hope  of  * the  promise  made 
of  God  unto  our  fathers  : 

7 Unto  which  promise  *our  twelve 
tribes,  instantly  serving  God  ”day^ 
and  night,  "hope  to  come.  For 
which  hope’s  sake,  kii^  A-grip-pa, 
I am  accused  of  the  Jew§. 

8 Why  should  it  be  thought  a 
thing  incredible  with  you,  that 
God  should  raise  the  dead'? 

9 verily  thought  with  myself, 
that  I ought  to  do  many  _ things 
contrary  to  the  name  of  Je-sus  of 

3 7-3  - VP'I'Vl 

10  “Which  thing  I also  did  in  JA 
ru-sa-lem : and  many  of  the  saints 
did  I shut  up  in  prison,  having  re- 
ceived authority  ^from  the  chief 
priests ; and  when  the^  were  put 
to  death,  I gave  my  voice  against 
them. 

11  *And  I punished  them  oft  in 
every  synagogue,  and  compelled 
them  to  blaspheme;  and  oeing 
exceedingly  mad  against  them,  I 
persecuted  them  even  unto  strange 
cities. 

12  "Whereupon  as  I went  to  Da- 
mas-eus  with  authority  and  com- 
mission from  the  chief  priests, 

13  At  midday,  O king,  I saw  in 
the  way  a light  from  heaven,  above 
the  brightness  of  the  sun,  shining 
round  about  me  and  them  which 
journeyed  with  me. 

14  And  when  we  were  all  fallen 
to  the  earth,  I heard  a voice  speak- 
ing unto  me,  and  saying  in  the 
He-br^  tongue,  Saul,  Saul,  why 
persecutes!  thou  me  % it  is  hard 
for  thee  to  kick  against  the  pricks. 

1 5 And  I said.  Who  art  thou.  Lord'? 
And  he  said,  I am  Je-stis  whom  thou 
persecutest.

feet : for  I have  appeared  unto  thee

of  those  things  in  the  which  I will 
appear  unto  thee ;

24  And  as  he  thus  spake  for  him- 
self, Fes-tus  said  with  a loud  voice, 
Paul,  “thou  art  beside  thyself ; much 
learning  doth  make  thee  mad. 

25  But  he  said,  1 am  not  mad, 
most  noble  Fes-tus;  but  speak  forth 
the  words  of  truth  and  soberness. 

26  For  the  king  knoweth  of  these 
things,  before  whom  also  I speak 
freely : for  I am  persuaded  that 
none  of  these  things  are  hidden 
from  him;  for  this  thing  was  not 
done  in  a corner. 

27  King  A-grip-pa,  believes t thou 
the  prophets'?  I know  that  thou 
believest.  ^ 

28  Then  A-grip-pa  said  unto  Paul, 
Almost  thou  persuades!  me  to  be 
a -Ghris-tian. 

29  And  Paul  said,  would  to  God, 
that  not  only  thou,  but  also  all  that 
hear  me  this  day,  were  both  almost, 
and  altogether  such  as  I am,  except 
these  bonds. 

30  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
the  king  rose  up,  and  the  governor, 
and  Ber-ni-96,  and  they  that  sat 
with  them :

aside,  they  talked  between  them-

nothing  worthy  of  death  or  of

32  Then  said  A-grip-pa  unto  F6s-

CHAPTER  27. 

1 Paul,  shipping  toward  Rome,  10  foretelleth  the  danger 

of  the  voyage.  14  They  are  tossed  to  atid  fro  with 

tempest,  41  and  suffer  shipwreck,  22,  34,  44  yet  all  come 

safe  to  land. 

AND  when  ®it  was  determined 
that  we  should  sail  into  It-a-ly, 
they  delivered  Paul  and  certain 
other  prisoners  unto  oftie  named 
Judi-us,  a centurion  of  Au-gus-tus’ 
band.  ^ ^ 

2 And  entering  into  a ship  of  Ad- 
ra-myt-ti-um,  we  launched,  meaning 
to  sail  by  the  coasts  of  A-si-a ; one 
"^Ar-is-tar-chus,  a Ma9-6-do-ni-an  of 
Thes-sa-lO-ni-ca,  being  with  us. 

3 And  the  next  day  we  touched  at 
Si-dOn.  And  Judi-us  •^courteously 
entreated  Paul,  and  gave  him  lib- 
erty to  go  unto  his  friends  to  re- 
fresh himself. 

4 And  when  we  had  launched  from 
thence,  we  sailed  under  Cy-prus, 
because  the  winds  were  contrary. 

5 And  when  we  had  sailed  over 
the  sea  of  Ci-li-ci-a  and  Pam- 
phyl-i-a,  we  came  to  My-ra,  a city 
of  Ly-ci-a. 

6 And  there  the  centurion  found 
a ship  of  Al-ex-an-dri-a  sailing  into 
It-a-ly  • and  he  put  us  therein. 

7 And  when  we  had  sailed  slowly 
many  days,  and  scarce  were  come 
over  against  Cni-dus,  the  wind  not 
suffering  us,  we  sailed  under  ^-Crete, 
over  against  Sal-mo-ne ; 

8 And,  hardly  passing  it,  came 
unto  a place  which  is  called  The 
fair  havens ; nigh  whereunto  was 
the  city  of  La-se-a. 

9 Now  when  much  time  was  spent, 
and  when  sailing  was  now  danger- 
ous, ^because  the  fast  was  now  al- 
ready past,  Paul  admonished  them, 

10  And  said  unto  them,  Sirs,  I 
perceive  that  this  voyage  will  be 
with  ^hurt  and  much  damage,  not 
only  of  the  lading  and  ship,  but 
also  of  our  lives. 

1 1 Nevertheless  the  centurion  be- 
lieved the  master  and  the  owner  of 
the  ship,  more  than  those  things 
which  were  spoken  by  Paul. 

12  And  because  the  haven  was  not 
commodious  to  winter  in,  the  more 
part  advised  to  depart  thence  also, 
if  by  any  means  they  might  attain 
to  Pheni-^e,  and  there  to  winter;

13  And  wheii  the  south  wind  blew 
supposing  that  they  had  ob- 
their  purpose,  loosing  thence, 

they  sailed  close  by  Crete. 

14  But  not  long  after  there  ^ arose 
against  it  a tempestuous  wind,  called 
Eu-r5cdy-don. 

15  And  when  the  ship  was  caught, 
and  could  not  bear  up  into  the  wind, 
we  let  her  drive. 

16  And  running  under  a certain 
island  which  is  called  Clau-da,  we 
had  much  work  to  come  by  the 
boat : 

17  Which  when  they  had  taken 
up,  they  used  helps,  undergirding 
the  ship  ; and,  fearing  lest  they 
should  fall  into  the  quicksands, 
strake  sail,  and  so  were  driven. 

18  And  we  being  exceedingly  tossed 
with  a tempest,  the  next  day  they 
lightened  the  ship ; 

' 19  And  the  third  day  ®we  cast  out 
with  our  own  hands  the  taclding  of 
the  ship. 

20  And  when  neither  sun  nor  stars 
in  many  days  appeared,  and  no 
small  tempest  lay  on  us,  all  hope 
that  we  should  be  saved  was  then 
taken  away. 

21  But  after  long  abstinence  Paul 
stood  forth  in  the  midst  of  them, 
and  said.  Sirs,  ye  should  have  heark- 
ened unto  me,  and  not  have  loosed 
from  Crete,  and  to  have  gained  this 
harm  and  loss. 

22  And  now  I exhort  you  to  be  of 
good  cheer : for  there  shall  be  no 
loss  of  any  man’s  life  among  you, 
but  of  the  ship. 

23  ^For  there  stood  by  me  this 
night  the  angel  of  God,  whose  I am, 
and  ^whom  I serve, 

24  Saying,  Fear  not,  Paul ; thou 
must  be  brought  before  Cse-sar: 
and,  lo,  God  hath  given  thee  all 
them  that  sail  with  thee. 

25  Wherefore,  sirs,  be  of  good 
cheer : *for  I believe  God,  that  it 
shall  be  even  as  it  was  told  me. 

26  Howbeit  ^we  must  be  cast  upon 
a certain  island. 

27  But  when  the  fourteenth  night 
was  come,  as  we  were  driven  up 
and  down  in  A-dri-a,  about  mid- 
night the  shipmen  deemed  that 
they  drew  near  to  some  country  ; 

28  And  sounded,  and  found  it 
twenty  fathoms : and  when  they 
had  gone  a little  further,  they 
sounded  again,  and  found  it  fifteen 
fathoms. 

29  Then  fearing  lest  we  should 
have  fallen  upon  rocks,  they  cast 


149 


Paul  is  shipwrecked. 


THE  ACTS,  28. 


Paul  arriveih  in  Rome. 


four  anchors  out  of  the  stern,  and 
wished  for  the  day. 

30  And  as  the  shipmen  were  about 
to  hee  out  of  the  ship,  when  they 
had  let  down  the  boat  into  the  sea, 
under  colour  as  though  they  would 
have  cast  anchors  out  of  the  fore- 
ship, 

31  Paul  said  to  the  centurion  and 
to  the  soldiers.  Except  these  abide 
in  the  ship,  ye  cannot  be  saved. 

32  Then  the  soldiers  cut  off  the 
ropes  of  the  boat,  and  let  her  fall  off. 

33  And  while  the  day  was  coming 
on,  Paul  besought  them  all  to  take 
meat,  saying,  This  day  is  the  four- 
teenth day  that  ye  have  tarried  and 
continued  fasting,  having  taken 
nothing. 

34  Wherefore  I pray  you  to  take 
some  meat:  for  this  is  for  your 
health : for  ® there  shall  not  an  hair 
fall  from  the  head  of  any  of  you. 

35  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  took  bread,  and  ‘^gave  thanks  to 
God  in  presence  of  them  all:  and 
when  he  had  broken  it,  he  began 
to  eat. 

36  Then  were  they  all  of  good 
cheer,  and  they  also  took  some  meat. 

37  And  we  were  in  all  in  the  ship 
two  hundred  threescore  and  six- 
teen ^ souls. 

38  And  when  they  had  eaten 
enough,  they  lightened  the  ship, 
and  cast  out  the  wheat  into  the  sea. 

39  And  when  it  was  day,  they 
knew  not  the  land : but  they  dis- 
covered a certain  creek  with  a 
shore,  into  the  which  they  were 
minded,  if  it  were  possible,  to 
thrust  in  the  ship. 

40  And  when  they  had  Haken  up 
the  anchors,  they  committed  them- 
selves unto  the  sea,  and  loosed  the 
rudder  bands,  and  hoised  up  the 
mainsail  to  the  wind,  and  made 
toward  shore. 

41  And  falling  into  a place  where 
two  seas  met,  Hhey  ran  the  ship 
aground ; and  the  forepart  stuck 
fast,  and  remained  unmoveable, 
but  the  hinder  part  was  broken 
with  the  violence  of  the  waves. 

42  And  the  soldiers’  counsel  was 
to  kill  the  prisoners,  lest  any  of 
them  should  swim  out,  and  escape. 

43  But  the  centurion,  willing  to 
save  Paul,  kept  them  from  their 
purpose ; and  commanded  that  they 
which  could  swim  should  cast  them- 
selves first  into  the  sea,  and  get  to 
land:

CHAPTER  28. 

1 Paul  after  his  shipwreck  is  kindly  entertained.  8 Ht 
healeth  many  diseased.  11  The  voyage  resumed.  30  Paui, 
preacheth  in  Pome  two  years. 

AND  when  they  were  escaped, 
then  they  knew  that  "the  isl- 
and was  called  M6l-i-ta. 

2 And  the  ^barbarous  people 
shewed  us  no  little  kindness : tor 
they  kindled  a fire,  and  received  us 
every  one,  because  of  the  present 
rain,  and  because  of  the  cold. 

3 And  when  Paul  had  gathered  a 
bundle  of  sticks,  and  laid  them  on 
the  fire,  there  came  a viper  out  of 
the  heat,  and  fastened  on  his  hand. 

4 And  when  the  barbarians  saw 
the  venomous  beast  hang  on  his 
hand,  they  said  among  themselves. 
No  doubt  this  man  is  a murderer, 
whom,  though  he  hath  escaped  the 
sea,  yet  vengeance  suffereth  not  to 
live. 

5 And  he  shook  off  the  beast  into 
the  fire,  and  ®felt  no  harm. 

6 Howbeit  they  looked  when  he 
should  have  swollen,  or  fallen  down 
dead  suddenly  : but  after  they  had 
looked  a great  wkile»  and  saw  no 
harm  come  to  him,  they  changed 
their  minds,  and  •''said  that  he  was 
a god. 

7 In  the  same  quarters  were  pos- 
sessions of  the  chief  man  of  the 
island,  whose  name  was  PiibTi-us ; 
who  received  us,  and  lodged  us 
three  days  courteously. 

8 And  it  came  to  pass,  that  the 
father  of  Pubdi-us  lay  sick  of  a fe- 
ver and  of  a bloody  flux : to  whom 
Paul  entered  in,  and  ''prayed,  and 
'laid  his  hands  on  him,  and  healed 
him. 

9 So  when  this  was  done,  others 
also,  which  had  diseases  in  the 
island,  came,  and  were  healed: 

10  Who  also  honoured  us  with 
many  * honours ; and  when  we  de- 
parted, they  laded  us  with  such 
things  as  were  necessary. 

1 1 And  after  three  months  we  de- 
parted in  a ship  of  Al-6x-an-dri-a, 
which  had  wintered  in  the  isle, 
whose  sign  was  -Gas-t^r  and  PdlTux. 

12  And  landing  at  Syr-a-cuse,  we 
tarried  there  three  days. 

1 3 And  from  thence  we  fetched  a 
compass,  and  came  to  Rhe-gi-um : 
and  after  one  day  the  south  wind 
blew,  and  we  came  the  next  day  to 
Pa-te-5-lI : 

14  Where  we  found  brethren,  and 
were  desired  to  tarry  with  them 
seven  days : and  so  we  went  to- 
ward Rome. 

15  And  from  thence,  when  the 
brethren  heard  of  us,  they  came  to 


150 


Paul  preacheth  tJie

meet  us  as  far  as  Ap-pi-i  fo-riim, 

and  The  three  taverns  : whom  when 
Paul  saw,  he  thanked  God,  and  took 
courage. 

16  And  when  we  came  to  Pome, 
the  centurion  delivered  the  prison- 
ers to  the  captain  of  the  guard  : but 

Paul  was  suffered  to  dwell  by  him- 
self with  a soldier  that  kept  him. 

1 7 And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after 
three  days  Paul  called  the  chief  of 
the  J^s  together  : and  when  they 
were  come  together,  he  said  unto 
them.  Men  and  brethren,  ® though  I 
have  committed  nothing  against  the 
people,  or  customs  of  our  fathers, 
yet  ^was  I delivered  prisoner  from 
Je-ru-sa-lem  into  the  hands  of  the 
Ro-mans. 

18  Who,  ^when  they  had  examined 
me,  would  have  let  me  go,  because 
there  was  no  cause  of  death  in  me. 

19  But  when  the  J^s  spake  a- 
gainst  it,  *T  was  constrained  to  ap- 
peal unto  Caesar ; not  that  I had 
ought  to  accuse  my  nation  of. 

20  For  this  cause  therefore  have 
I called  for  you,  to  see  you,  and  to 
speak  with  you:  because  that  *for 
the  hope  of  Is-ra-el  I am  bound 
with  ”*this  chain. 

21  And  they  said  unto  him,  We 
neither  received  letters  out  of  Ju- 
dse-a  concerning  thee,  neither  any 
of  the  brethren  that  came  shewed 
or  spake  any  harm  of  thee. 

22  But  we  desire  to  hear  of  thee 
what  thou  thinkest : for  as  concern- 
ing this  sect,  we  know  that  every 
where  "it  is  spoken  against. 

23  And  when  they  had  appointed 
him  a day,  there  came  many  to  him

ing Je-sus,  *both  out  of  the  law  of 
Mo-ses,  and  out  of  the  prophets, 
from  morning  till  evening. 

24  And  "some  believed  the  things 
which  were  spoken,  and  some  be- 
lieved not. 

25  And  when  they  agreed  not 
among  themselves,  they  departed, 
^/ter  that  Paul  had  spoken  one  word, 
Well  spake  the  Holy  Ghost  by  E-sa- 
las  the  prophet  unto  our  fathers,  ’ 

26  Saying,  -^Go  unto  this  people, 
and  say.  Hearing  ye  shall  hear,  and 
shall  not  understand ; and  seeing 
ye  shall  see,  and  not  perceive : 

27  For  the  heart  of  this  people  is 
waxed  gross,  and  their  ears  are  dull 
of  hearing,  and  their  eyes  have  they 
closed ; lest  they  should  see  with 
their  eyes,  and  hear  with  their  ears, 
and  understand  with  their  heart,  and 
should  be  converted,  and  I should 
heal  them. 

28  Be  it  known  therefore  unto 
you,  that  the  salvation  of  God  is 
sent  'unto  the  Gen-tiles,  and  that 
they  will  hear  it. 

29  And  wh^  he  had  said  these 
words,  the  Jews  departed,  and  had 
great  reasoning  among  themselves. 

30  And  Paul  dwelt  two  whole 
years  in  his  own  hired  house,  and 
received  all  that  came  in  unto 
him, 

31  ^Preaching  the  kingdom  of  God, 
and  teaching  those  things  which 
concern  the  Lord  Je-sus  -Christ, 
with  all  confidence,  no  man  for- 
bidding him.

faith  is  spoken  of  throughout  the 
whole  world.  . . ^ 

9 For  ®God  is  my  witness,  ‘’whom  i 
serve  ^with  my  spirit  in  the  gospel 
of  his  Son,  that  ‘’without  ceasing  1 
make  mention  of  you  always  in  my 

prayers ; . -i?  i 

10  Making  request,  if  by  any 
means  now  at  length  I might  have 
a prosperous  journey  ^by  the  will 
of  God  to  come  unto  you. 

11  For  I long  to  see  you,  that  *1 

may  impart  unto  you  some  spirit- 
ual gift,  to  the  end  ye  may  be  es- 
tablished ; , ^ . 

12  That  is,  that  I may  be  com- 
forted together  ^with  you  by  ^the 
mutual  faith  both  of  you  and  me. 

13  Now  I would  not  have  you 
ignorant,  brethren,  that  oftentimes 
I purposed  to  come  unto  you,  (but 
*was  let  hitherto,)  that  I might 
have  some  fruit  ^ among  you  also, 
even  as  among  other  Gen-tiles._ 

14  am  debtor  both  to  the  Greeks, 
and  to  the  Barbarians  ; both  to  the 
wise,  and  to  the  unwise. 

15  So,  as  much  as  in  me  is,  1 am 
ready  to  preach  the  gospel  to  you 
that  are  at  Rome  also. 

1(1  For  ‘’I  am  not  ashamed  of  the 
gospel  of  €hrist : for  ^it  is  the  power 
of  God  unto  salvation  to  every  one 
that  believeth  ; ® to  the  J ew  first, 
and  also  to  the  Greek. 

17  For  ’‘therein  is  the  righteous- 

ness of  God  revealed  from  faith  to 
faith : as  it  is  written,  * The  oust 
shall  live  by  faith.  „ ^ . 

18  ’^For  the  wrath  of  God  is  re- 
vealed from  heaven  against  all 
ungodliness  and  unrighteousness 
of  men,  who  hold  the  truth  in 
unrighteousness; 

19  Because  ^that  which  may  be 
known  of  God  is  manifest  ^in  them ; 
for  "God  hath  shewed  it  unto  them. 

20  For  “the  invisible  things  of  him 
from  the  creation  of  the  world  are 
clearly  seen,  being  understood  by 
the  tnings  that  are  made,  even  his 
eternal  power  and  Godhead ; so 
that  they  are  without  excuse  : 

21  Because  that,  when  they  knew 
God,  they  glorified  him  not  as  God, 
neitner  were  thankful ; but  becarne 
vain  in  their  imaginations,  and  their 
foolish  heart  was  darkened. 

22  ‘’Professing  themselves  to  be 
wise,  they  became  fools, 

23  And  changed  the  glory  of  the 
uncorruptible  "^God  into  an  image 
made  like  to  corruptible  man,  and 
to  birds,  and  fourfooted  beasts,  and

A-men'.  , .1 

26  For  this  cause  God  gave  them 

up  unto  '‘vile  affections:  for  even 
their  women  did  change  the  natu- 
ral use  into  that  which  is  against 
nature:  . ^ . 

27  And  likewise  also  the  men, 
leaving  the  natural  use  of  the 
woman,  burned  in  their  lust  one 
toward  another ; men  with  men 
working  that  which  is  unseenny, 
and  receiving  in  themselves  that 
recompence  of  their  error  which 
was  meet. 

28  And  even  as  they  did  not  like 
to  retain  God  in  their  knowledge, 

God  gave  them  over  to  ®a  reprobate 
mind,  to  do  those  things  which  are 
not  convenient; 

29  Being  filled  with  all  unright- 

eousness, fornication,  wickedness, 
covetousness,  maliciousness ; full 
of  envy,  murder,  debate,  deceit, 
malignity;  whisperers,  ^ ^ ,

God,  that  they  which  commit  such 
things  are  worthy  of  death,  not  only

judgment  of  God,  9 whether  Jews  or  Gentiles.  14  The 
Gentiles  cannot  escape,  17  nor  yet  the  Jews.

judgest  another,  thou  condemnest

23  Thou  that  makes!  thy  boast  of

dishonourest  thou  God  ? 

24  For  the  name  of  (4od  is  blas-

you,  as  it  is  ‘^written. 

25  ^For  circumcision  verily  profit- 
eth,  if  thou  keep  the  law : but  if 
thou  be  a breaker  of  the  law,  thy 
circumcision  is  made  uncircumci- 
sion. 

26  Therefore  ^if  the  uncircumci- 
sion keep  the  righteousness  of  the 
law,  shall  not  his  uncircumcision 
be  counted  for  circumcision? 

27  And  shall  not  uncircumcision 

which  is  by  nature,  if  it  fulfil  the 
law,  * judge  thee,  who  by  the  letter 
and  circumcision  dost  transgress 
the  law?  _ 

28  For  ”"he  is  not  a Jew,  which  is 

one  outwardly  ; neither  is  that  cir- 
cumcision, which  is  outward  in  the 
flesh : _ 

29  But  he  is  a J^,  ” which  is  one 
inwardly;  and  “circumcision  is  that 
of  the  heart,  ^in  the  spirit,  and  not 
in  the  letter;  ’’whose  praise  is  not 
of  men,  but  of  God. 

CHAPTER  3. 

1 The  Jews'  prerogative.  20  Ao  flesh  is  justified  by  tho 

law,  28  but  all  by  faith  only : 31  yet  the  law  is  not 

abolished. 

WHAT  advantage  then  hath  the 
J^?  or  what  profit  is  there 
of  circumcision  ? 

2  Much  every  way;  chiefly,  be- 
cause that  *unto  them  were  com- 
mitted the  oracles  of  God. 

3  For  what  if  Aome  did  not  be- 
lieve? “shall  their  unbelief  make 
the  faith  of  God  without  effect? 

4  *God  forbid:  yea,  let  “God  be 
true,  but  every  man  a liar ; as  it 
is  written,  “That  thou  mightest  be 
justified  in  thy  sayings,  and  might- 
est overcome  when  thou  art  judged. 
5 But  if  our  unrighteousness  com- 
mend the  righteousness  of  God, 
what  shall  we  say?  Is  God  un- 
righteous who  taketh  vengeance? 
(G  speak  as  a man) 

6  (Tod  forbid : for  then  ’“how  shall 
God  judge  the  world? 

7  For  if  the  truth  of  God  hath 
more  abounded  through  my  lie 
unto  his  glory;  why  yet  am  I also 
judged  as  a sinner? 

8  And  not  rather^  (as  we  be  slan- 
derously reported,  and  as  some  af- 
firm that  we  say,)  ^Let  us  do  evil, 
that  good  may  come?  whose  dam- 
nation is  just. 

9  What  then?  are  we  better  than 
they'i  No,  in  no  wise:  for  we  have

Abraham’s  faith  imputed  ROMANS,  4.  to  him  for  righteousness. 


before  ^proved  both  J^s  and  Gen- 
tiles, that  *they  are  all  under  sin; 

10' As  it  is  written,  ‘'There  is  none 
righteous,  no,  not  one : 

1 1 There  is  none  that  understand- 
eth,  there  is  none  that  seeketh  after 
God. 

12  They  are  all  gone  out  of  the 
way,  they  are  together  become  un- 
profitable; there  is  none  that  doeth 
good,  no,  not  one. 

13  Their  throat  is  an  open  sepul- 
chre ; with  their  tongues  they  have 
used  deceit ; -^the  poison  of  asps  is 
under  their  lips  : 

14  Whose  mouth  is  full  of  cursing 
and  bitterness : 

15  * Their  feet  are  swift  to  shed 
blood : 

16  Destruction  and  misery  are  in 
their  ways : 

17  And  the  way  of  peace  have 
they  not  known: 

18  ""There  is  no  fear  of  God  before 
their  eyes. 

1 9 N ow  we  know  that  what  things 
soever  ‘’the  law  saith,  it  saith  to 
them  who  are  under  the  law : that 
^ every  mouth  may  be  stopped,  and 
^all  the  world  may  become  ^guilty 
before  God. 

20  Therefore  "‘by  the  deeds  of  the 
law  there  shall  no  flesh  be  justified 
in  his  sight : for  "^by  the  law  is  the 
knowledge  of  sin. 

21  But  now  “the  righteousness  of 
God  without  the  law  is  manifested, 

being  witnessed  by  the  law  ^and 
the  prophets ; 

22  Even  the  righteousness  of  God 
which  is  *by  faith  of  Je%us  -Christ 
unto  all  and  upon  all  them  that  be- 
lieve : for  ‘"there  is  no  difference  : 

23  For  *all  have  sinned,  and  come 
short  of  the  glor7/  of  God  ; 

24  Being  justified  freely  ‘'by  his 
grace  ^through  the  redemption  that 
is  in  Christ  J e-sus  : 

25  Whom  God  hath  ^set  forth 

he  a propitiation  through  faith  *in 
his  blood,  to  declare  his  righteous- 
ness "for  the  ^remission  of  *sins 
that  are  past,  through  the  forbear- 
ance of  God ; 

26  To  declare,  I say,  at  this  time 
his  righteousness : ^ that  he  might 
be  just,  and  the  justifier  of  him 
which  believeth  in  Je-sus. 

27  ^ Where  is  boasting  then!  It  is 
excluded.  By  what  law^  of  works'? 
Nay : but  by  the  law  of  faith. 

28  Therefore  we  conclude  "that  a 
man  is  justified  by  faith  without 
the  deeds  of  the  law. 

Is  he  the  God  of  the  Jews  only"? 
is  he  not  also  of  the  Gen-tiles'?  Yes, 
of  the  Gen-tiles  also :

CHAPTER  4. 

1 Abraham’s  faith  imputed  to  him  for  righteousness,  li 
By  faith  he  and  his  seed  received  the  promise.  16  Abros 
ham  is  the  father  of  all  thac  believe. 

WHAT  shall  we  say  then  that 
^ A- bra-ham  our  father,  as  per- 
taining to  the  flesh,  hath  found  % 

2  For  if  A-bra-ham  were  ^justified 
by  works,  he  hath  whereof  to  glory ; 
but  not  before  God. 

3  For  what  saith  the  scripture? 
* A-bra-ham  believed  God,  and  it 
was  counted  unto  him  for  right- 
eousness. 

4  Now  * to  him  that  worketh  is  the 
reward  not  reckoned  of  grace,  but 
of  debt. 

5  But  to  him  that  worketh  not, 
but  believeth  on  him  that  justifietH 
"the  ungodly,  his  faith  is  counted 
for  righteousness. 

6  Even  as  DaWid  also  describeth 
the  blessedness  of  the  man,  unto 
whom  God  imputeth  righteousness 
without  works, 

7  Saying,  * Blessed  are  they  whose 
iniquities  are  forgiven,  and  whose 
sins  are  covered. 

8  Blessed  is  the  man  to  whom  the 
Lord  will  not  impute  sin. 

9  Gomet\  this  blessedness  then 
upon  the  circumcision  only,  or  upon 
the  uncircumcision  also?  for  we  say 
that  faith  was  reckoned  to  A-bra- 
ham  for  righteousness. 

10  How  was  it  then  reckoned? 
when  he  was  in  circumcision,  or  in 
uncircumcision  ? Not  in  circum- 
cision, but  in  uncircumcision. 

11  And  ‘^he  received  the  sign  of 
circumcision,  a seal  of  the  right- 
eousness of  the  faith  which  he  had 
yet  being  uncircumcised : that  ^ he 
might  be  the  father  of  all  them 
that  believe,  though  they  be  not  cir- 
cumcised ; that  righteousness  might 
be  imputed  unto  them  also  : 

,12  And  the  father  of  circumcision 
to  them  who  are  not  of  the  circum- 
cision only,  but  who  also  walk  in 
the  steps  of  that  faith  of  our  father 
A-bra-nam,  which  he  had  being  yet 
uncircumcised. 

13  For  the  promise,  that  he  should 
be  the  heir  of  the  world,  was  not 
to  A-bra-ham,  or  to  his  seed,  through 
the  law,  but  through  the  righteous- 
ness of  faith. 

14  For  ‘’if  they  which  are  of  the 
law  he  heirs,  faitn  is  made  void,  and 
the  promise  made  of  none  effect : 


The  advantages  of 


ROMANS,  5. 


justification  by  faith. 


15  Because  “the  law  worketh 
wrath  : for  where  no  law  is,  there 
is  no  transgression. 

16  Therefore  it  is  of  faith,  that  it 
might  be  * by  grace  ; to  the  end  the 
promise  might  be  sure  to  all  the 
seed ; not  to  that  only  which  is  of 
the  law,  but  to  that  also  which  is 
of  the  faith  of  A-bra-ham ; ^who  is 
the  father  of  us  all, 

1 7 (As  it  is  written,  ^ I have  made 
thee  a father  of  many  nations,)  ^be- 
fore him  whom  he  believed,  even 
God,  *who  quickeneth  the  dead,  and 
calleth  those  ” things  which  be  not 
as  though  they  were. 

18  Who  against  hope  believed  in 
hope,  that  he  might  become  the 
father  of  many  nations,  according 
to  that  which  was  spoken,  ^So  shall 
thy  seed  be.

19  And  being  not  weak  in  faith, 
*he  considered  not  his  own  body 
now  dead,  when  he  was  about  an

7 For  scarcely  for  a righteous  man 
will  one  die : yet  peradventure  for 
a good  man  some  would  even  dare 
to  die. 

8 But  **  God  commendeth  his  love 
toward  us,  in  that,  while  we  were 
yet  sinners,  Christ  died  for  us. 

9 Much  more  then,  being  now 
justified  -^by  his  blood,  we  shall  be 
saved  ^from  wrath  through  him. 

10  For  *if,  when  we  were  enemies, 
^wQ  were  reconciled  to  God  by  the 
death  of  his  Son,  much  more,  being 
reconciled,  we  shall  be  saved  ""by 
his  life. 

11  And  not  only  so,  but  we  also 
"joy  in  God  through  our  Lord  Je-sus 
■Christ,  by  whom  we  have  now  re- 
ceived the  ^atonement. 

12  Wherefore,  as  «by  one  man  sin 
entered  into  the  world,  and  ’’death 
by  sin ; and  so  death  passed  upon 
all  men,  ®for  that  all  have  sinned: 

13  (For  until  the  law  sin  was  in 
the  world  : but  'sin  is  not  imputed 
when  there  is  no  law. 

14  Nevertheless  death  reigned 
from  Ad-am  to  Mouses,  even  over 
them  that  had  not  sinned  after  the 
similitude  of  Ad-am’s  transgression, 
^who  is  the  figure  of  him  that  was 
to  come. 

15  But  not  as  the  offence,  so  also 
is  the  free  gift.  For  if  through  the 
offence  of  one  many  be  dead,  much 
more  the  gra.ce  of  God,  and  the  gift 
by  grace,  which  is  by  one  man,  J e-sus 
■Christ,  hath  abounded  ^unto  many. 

16  And  not  as  it  was  by  one  that 
sinned,  so  is  the  gift : for  the  judg- 
ment was  by  one  to  condemnation, 
but  the  free  gift  is  of  many  offences 
unto  justification. 

17  For  if  ‘‘by  one  man’s  offence 
death  reigned  by  one ; much  more 
they  which  receive  abundance  of 
grace  and  of  the  gift  of  righteous- 
ness shall  reign  in  life  by  one,  Je-sus 
■Christ.) 

18  Therefore  as  ®by  the  offence  of 
one  judgment  came  upon  all  men 
to  condemnation ; even  so  ®by  the 
righteousness  of  one  the  free^  gift 
came  ’upon  all  men  unto  justifica- 
tion of  life. 

1 9 For  as  by  one  man’s  disobedi- 
ence many  were  made  sinners,  so 
by  the  obedience  of  one  shall  many 
be  made  righteous. 

20  Moreover  “the  law  entered, 
that  the  offence  might  abound.  But 
where  sin  abounded,  grace  did  much 
“^more  abound : 

21  That  as  sin  hath  reigned  unto 
death,  even  so  might  grace  reign 
through  righteousness  unto  eternal 
life  by  Je-sus  Christ  our  Lord. 


Exhortation  to  holiness.

Death  is  the  wages  of  sin. 


CHAPTER  6. 


1 We  may  not  live  in  sin,  12  nor  let  sin  reign  any 
more.  23  Death  is  the  wages  of  sin. 

WHAT  shall  we  say  then  1 Shall 
we  continue  in  sin,  that  grace 
may  abound  1 

2  God  forbid.  How  shall  we,  that 
are  *dead  to  sin,  live  any  longer 
therein  1 

3  Know  ye  not,  that  ‘'so  many  of  us 
as  ^ were  baptized  into  Je-sus  Christ 
‘'were  baptized  into  his  death  1 
4 Therefore  we  are  •''buried  with 
him  by  baptism  into  death : that 
^like  as  -Christ  was  raised  up  from 
the  dead  by  *the  glory  of  the  Fa- 
ther, *even  so  we  also  should  walk 
in  newness  of  life. 

5  ”For  if  we  have  been  planted  to- 
gether in  the  likeness  of  his  death, 
we  shall  be  also  in  the  likeness  of 
his  resurrection : 

6  Knowing  this,  that  ^our  old  man 
is  crucified  with  him.,  that  ’’the  body 
of  sin  might  be  destroyed,  that  hence- 
forth we  should  not  serve  sin. 

7  For  ®he  that  is  dead  is  ® freed  from 
sin. 

8  Now  *if  we  be  dead  with  -Christ, 
we  believe  that  we  shall  also  live 
with  him : 

9  Knowing  that  “-Christ  being 
raised  from  the  dead  dieth  no 
more ; death  hath  no  more  do- 
minion over  him. 

10  For  in  that  he  died,  ^'he  died 
unto  sin  once : but  in  that  he  liveth, 
*he  liveth  unto  God. 

11  Likewise  reckon  ye  also  your- 
selves to  be  dead  indeed  unto  sin, 
but  '’alive  unto  God  through  Je-stis 
-Christ  our  Lord. 

12  ‘'Let  not  sin  therefore  reign  in 
your  mortal  body,  that  ye  should 
obey  it  in  the  lusts  thereof. 

1 3  Neither  yield  ye  your  ‘'members 
as  ^instruments  of  unrighteousness 
unto  sin : but  •''yield  yourselves  unto 
God,  as  those  that  are  alive  from  the 
dead,  and  your  members  as  instru- 
ments of  righteousness  unto  God. 

14  For  ^sin  shall  not  have  do- 
minion over  you:  for  ye  are  not 
under  the  law,  but  under  grace. 

15  what  then"?  shall  we  sin,  * be- 
cause we  are  not  under  the  law, 
but  under  graced  God  forbid. 

16  Know  ye  not,  that  ”^to  whom  ye 
yield  yourselves  servants  to  obey, 
his  servants  ye  are  to  whom  ye 
obey;  whether  of  sin  unto  death, 
or  of  obedience  unto  righteousness  % 
17  But  God  be  thanked,  that  ye 
were  the  servants  of  sin,  but  ye 
have  obeyed  from  the  heart  ^that 
form  of  doctrine  ® which  was  de- 
livered you.

CHAPTER  7. 

1 No  law  hath  power  over  a man  longer  than  he  liveth. 

4 But  we  are  dead  to  the  law.  7 Yet  is  not  the  law  sin, 

12  but  holy.  Just,  good. 

Know  ye  not,  brethren,  (for  I 
speak  to  them  that  know  the 
law,)  now  that  the  law  hath  do- 
minion over  a man  as  long  as  he 
liveth  1 . 

2 For  '’'the  woman  which  hath  an 
husband  is  bound  by  the  law  to  her 
husband  so  long  as  he  liveth ; but 
if  the  husband  be  dead,  she  is  loosed 
from  the  law  of  her  husband. 

3 So  then  “if,  while  her  husband 
liveth,  she  be  married  to  another 
man,  she  shall  be  called  an  adul- 
teress : but  if  her  husband  be  dead, 
she  is  free  from  that  law;  so  that 
she  is  no  adulteress,  though  she  be 
married  to  another  man. 

4  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  ye  also 
are  become  ® dead  to  the  law  by  the 
body  of  -Christ ; that  ye  should  be 
married  to  another,  even  to  him 
who  is  raised  from  the  dead,  that  we 
should  S' bring  forth  fruit  unto  God. 
5 For  when  we  were  in  the  flesh, 
the  '^motions  of  sins,  which  were  by 
the  law,  'did  work  in  our  members 
'to  bring  forth  fruit  unto  death. 

6 But  now  we  are  delivered  from 
the  law,  ®that  being  dead  wherein 
we  were  held ; that  we  should  serve 
“in  newness  of  spirit,  and  not  in 
the  oldness  of  the  letter. 

7 What  shall  we  say  then  % Is  the 
law  sini  God  forbid.  Nay,  ‘’I  had 
not  known  sin,  but  by  the  law ; for 
I had  not  known  ''lust,  except  the 
law  had  said,  ^Thou  shalt  not  covet. 
8 But  “sin,  taking  occasion  by 
the  commandment,  wrought  in  me

all  manner  of  concupiscence.  For 
* without  the  law  sin  was  dead. 

9 For  I was  alive  without  the  law 
once  : but  when  the  commandment 
came,  sin  revived,  and  I died. 

10  And  the  commandment, which 
was  ordained  to  life,  I found  to  be 
unto  death. 

1 1 For  sin,  taking  9Ccasion  by  the 
commandment,  deceived  me,  and  by 
it  slew  me. 

12  Wherefore  *the  law  is  holy,  and 
the  commandment  holy,  and  just, 
and  good. 

13  Was  then  that  which  is  good 
made  death  unto  mel  God  forbid. 
But  sin,  that  it  might  appear  sin, 
working  death  in  me  by  that  which 
is  good  ; that  sin  by  the  command- 
ment might  become  exceeding  sin- 
ful. 

14  For  we  know  that  the  law  is 
spiritual : but  I am  carnal,  ^sold 
under  sin. 

15  For  that  which  I do  I ® allow 
not : for  ""what  I would,  that  do  I 
not;  but  what  I hate,  that  do  I. 

1 6 If  then  I do  that  which  I would 
not,  I consent  unto  the  law  that  it 
is  good. 

17  Now  then  it  is  no  more  I that 
do  it,  but  sin  that  dwelleth  in  me. 

18  For  I know  that  "^in  me  (that 
is,  in  my  flesh,)  dwelleth  no  good 
thing : for  to  will  is  present  with 
me ; but  hoiv  to  perform  that  which 
is  good  I find  not. 

19  For  the  good  that  I would  I do 
not : but  the  evil  which  I would  not, 
that  I do. 

2()  Now  if  I do  that  I would  not, 
it  is  no  more  I that  do  it,  but  sin 
that  dwelleth  in  me. 

211  find  then  a law,  that,  when  I 
would  do  good,  evil  is  present  with 
me. 

22  For  I * delight  in  the  law  of 
God  after  ‘^the  inward  man  : 

23  But  ®I  see  another  law  in  -^my 
members,  warring  against  the  law 
of  my  mind,  and  bringing  me  into 
captivity  to  the  law  of  sin  which  is 
in  my  members. 

24  0 wretched  man  that  I am  ! who 
shall  deliver  me  from  "^the  body  of 
this  death  1 

25  thank  God  through  Je-sus 
•Ohrlst  our  Lord.  So  then  with  the 
mind  I myself  serve  the  law  of  God ; 
but  with  the  flesh  the  law  of  sin.

are  in  -Christ  Je-sus,  who  “walk  not 
after  the  flesh,  but  after  the  Spirit. 

2 For  ° the  law  of  ‘^the  Spirit  of  life 
in  -Christ  Je-sus  hath  made  me  free 
from  ®the  law  of  sin  and  death. 

3 For  ^'what  the  law  could  not  do, 
in  that  it  was  weak  through  the 
flesh,  '"God  sending  his  own  Son  in 
the  likeness  of  sinful  flesh,  and  Hor 
sin,  condemned  sin  in  the  flesh : 

4 That  the  righteousness  of  the 
law  might  be  fulfilled  in  us,  *who 
walk  not  after  the  flesh,  but  after 
the  Spirit. 

5 For  Hhey  that  are  after  the  flesh 
do  mind  the  things  of  the  flesh  ; but 
they  that  are  after  the  Spirit  ’"the 
things  of  the  Spirit. 

6 For  "to^  be  carnally  minded  is 
death ; but  ^ to  be  spiritually  minded 
is  life  and  peace. 

7 Because  "the^  carnal  mind  is 
enmity  against  God : for  it  is  not 
subject  to  the  law  of  God,  '^neither 
indeed  can  be. 

8 So  then  they  that  are  in  the  flesh 
cannot  please  God. 

9 But  ye  are  not  in  the  flesh,  but 
in  the  Spirit,  if  so  be  that  *the 
Spirit  of  God  dwell  in  you.  _ Now 
if  any  man  have  not  ‘the  Spirit  of 
•Christ,  he  is  none  of  his. 

10  And  if  -Christ  he  in  you,  the 
body  is  dead  because  of  sin ; but 
the  Spirit  is  life  because  of  right- 
eousness. 

11  But  if  the  Spirit  of  *him  that 
raised  up  Je-siis  from  the  dead  dwell 
in  you,  ^he  that  raised  up  -Christ 
from  the  dead  shall  also  quicken 
your  mortal  bodies  ®by  his  Spirit 
that  dwelleth  in  you. 

12  * Therefore,  brethren,  we  are 
debtors,  not  to  the  flesh,  to  live 
after  the  flesh. 

13  For  “if  ye  live  after  the  flesh, 
ye  shall  die : but  if  ye  through  the 
Spirit  do  ^ mortify  the  deeds  of  the 
bod ye  shall  live. 

14  For  ^as  many  as  are  led  by  the 
Spirit  of  God,  they  are  the  sons  of 
God. 

15  For  ^ye  have  not  received  the 
spirit  of  bondage  again  Ho  fear; 
but  ye  have  received  the  * Spirit  of 
adoption,  whereby  we  cry,  ‘ Ab-ba, 
Father. 

16  "The  Spirit  itself  beareth  wit- 
ness with  our  spirit,  that  we  are 
the  children  of  God : 

17  And  if  children^  then  heirs; 
" heirs  of  God,  and  joint-heirs  with 
Christ;  ^if  so  be  that  we  suffer  with 
him,  that  we  may  be  also  glorified 
together. 

18  For  I reckon  that  ^the  suffer- 
ings of  this  present  time  are  not 


Of  being  God^s  children. 


EOMAiSrS,  9. 


The  Christian's  hope. 


worthy  to  be  compared  with  the 
glory  which  shall  be  revealed  in  ns. 

19  For  *the  earnest  expectation  of 
the  creature  waiteth  for  the  ® mani- 
festation of  the  sons  of  God. 

20  For  the  creature  was  made 
subject  to  vanity,  not  willingly, 
but  by  reason  of  him  who  hath 
subjected  the  same  in  hox)e, 

21  Because  the  creature  itself  also 
shall  be  delivered  from  the  bond- 
age of  corruption  into  the  glorious 
liberty  of  the  children  of  God. 

22  For  we  know  that  Hhe  whole 
creation  ^groaneth  and  travaileth 
in  pain  together  until  now. 

23  And  not  only  tJvey,  but  our- 
selves also,  which  have  Hhe  first- 
fruits  of  the  Spirit,  * even  we 
ourselves  groan  within  ourselves, 
^waiting  for  the  adoption,  to  wit, 
the  redemption  of  our  body. 

24  For  we  are  saved  by  hope : but 
” hope  that  is  seen  is  not  hope : for 
what  a man  seeth,  why  doth  he  yet 
hope  for 

25  But  if  we  hope  for  that  we  see 
not,  then  do  we  with  patience  wait 
for  it. 

26  Likewise  the  Spirit  also  help- 
eth  our  infirmities  : for  ^ we  know 
not  what  we  should  pray  for  as  we 
ought:  but  Hhe  Spirit  itself  mak- 
eth  intercession  for  us  with  groan- 
ings  which  cannot  be  uttered. 

27  And  ®he  that  searcheth  the 
hearts  knoweth  what  is  the  mind 
of  the  Spirit,  ^because  he  maketh 
intercession  for  the  saints  accord- 
ing to  the  will  of  God. 

28  And  we  know  that  all  things 
work  together  for  good  to  them 
that  love  God,  to  them  Hvho  are  the 
called  according  to  his  purpose. 

29  For  whom  '‘he  did  foreknow, 
He  also  did  predestinate  Ho  he 
conformed  to  the  image  of  his  Son, 
’"that  he  might  be  the  firstborn 
among  many  brethren. 

30  Moreover  whom  he  did  predes- 
tinate, them  he  also  “ called ; and 
whom  he  called,  them  he  also  ^jus- 
tified : and  whom  he  justified,  them 
he  also  ’’glorified. 

31  What  shall  we  then  say  to  these 
things '?  * If  God  he  for  us,  who  can 
be  against  us 

32  "He  that  spared  not  his  own 
Son,  but  delivered  him  up  for  us 
all,  how  shall  he  not  with  him  also 
freely  give  us  all  things  % 

33  who  shall  lay  any  thing  to  the 
charge  of  God’s  elects  ^It  is  God 
that  justifieth. 

34  j Who  is  he  that  condemneth  ^ 
It  is  -Christ  that  died,  yea  rather, 
that  is  risen  again,  who  is  even  at

CHAPTER  9. 

1 Paul  is  sorry  for  the  Jews.  "7  All  the  seed  of  Abraham 
were  not  the  children  of  the  promise.  18  God  hath  mercy 
upon  whom  he  will.  25  The  calling  of  the  Gentiles  and 
rejecting  of  the  Jews.  32  Why  so  few  Jews  embraced  the 
righteousness  of  faith. 

I  "SAY  the  truth  in  -Christ,  I lie 
not,  my  conscience  also  bearing 
me  witness  in  the  Holy  Ghost, 

2  That  I have  great  heaviness  and 
continual  sorrow  in  my  heart. 

3  For  ’’I  could  wish  that  myself 
were  ^accursed  from  -Christ  fqr  my 
brethren,  my  kinsmen  according  to 
the  flesh : 

4  ^Who  are  IsHa-el-ites ; "to  whom 
pertaineth  the  adoption,  and  "^the 
glory,  and  Hhe  ^covenants,  and  “the 
giving  of  the  law,  and  * the  service 
of  G(^,  and  " the  promises  ; 

5  ^ whose  are  the  fathers,  and  ® of 
whom  as  concerning  the  flesh  -Christ 
came,  ^ who  is  over  all,  God  blessed 
for  ever.  A-men'. 

6  Not  as  though  the  word  of  God 
hath  taken  none  effect.  For  Hhey 
are  not  all  IsHa-el,  which  are  of 
IsHa-el : 

t "Neither,  because  they  are  the 
seed  of  AHra-harn,  are  they  all 
children : but.  In  * I-saac  shall  thy 
seed  be  called. 

8  That  is.  They  which  are  the 
children  of  the  flesh,  these  are  not 
the  children  of  God  : but  * the  chil- 
dren of  the  promise  are  counted  for 
the  seed. 

9  For  this  is  the  word  of  promise, 
^At  this  time  will  I come,  and  SaHah 
shall  have  a son. 

10  And  not  only  this;  but  when 
“Re-bgcHa  also  had  conceived  by 
one,  even  by  our  father  I-saac  ;

or  evil,  that  the  purpose  of  God  ac-

Hording  to  election  might  stand,  not 
of  works,  but  of  him  that  calleth  ;) 

12  It  was  said  unto  her,  ‘'The 
‘elder  shall  serve  the  ‘‘J^younger. 

13  As  it  is  written,  ‘^Ja--e5b  have  I 
loved,  but  E-sau  have  I hated. 

14  What  shall  we  say  then”?  ^Is 
there  unrighteousness  with  God  % 
God  forbid. 

1 5 For  he  saith  to  Mo-s6s,  ^ I will 
have  mercy  on  whom  I will  have 
mercy,  and  I will  have  compassion 
on  whom  I wih  have  compassion. 

16  So  then  it  is  not  of  him  that 
willeth,  nor  of  him  that  runneth, 
but  of  God  that  sheweth  mercy. 

17  For  ”^the  scripture  saith  unto 
Phah-aoh,  ” Even  for  this  same  pur- 
pose have  I raised  thee  up,  that  I 
might  shew  my  power  in  thee,  and 
that  my  name  might  be  declared 
throughout  all  the  earth. 

18  Therefore  hath  he  mercy  on 
whom  he  will  have  mercy,,  and 
whom  he  will  he  hardeneth. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then  unto  me, 
why  doth  he  yet  find  faults  For 
who  hath  resisted  his  willl 

20  Nay  but,  O man,  who  art  thou 
that  ^ repliest  against  God  % ^ ^ Shall 
the  thing  formed  say  to  him  that 
formed  it.  Why  hast  thou  made  me 
thus'? 

21  Hath  not  the  Spotter  power 
over  the  clay,  of  the  same  lump 
to  make  "'one  vessel  unto  honour, 
and  another  unto  dishonour'? 

22  What  if  God,  willing  to  shew 
his  wrath,  and  to  rnake  his  power 
known,  endured  with  much  long- 
suffering  Hhe  vessels  of  wrath 
“ fitted  ® to  destruction  : 

23  And  that  he  might  make  known 
‘'the  riches  of  his  glory  on  the  ves- 
sels of  mercy,  which  he  had  “afore 
prepared  unto  glory, 

24  Even  us,  whom  he  hath  called, 
-^not  of  the  J^s  only,  but  also  of 
the  Gen-tile^'? 

25  As  he  saith  also  in  0-see,  ^ I will 
call  them  my  people,  which  were 
not  my  people ; and  her  heloved, 
which  was  not  beloved. 

^ 26  ‘‘And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
in  the  place  where  it  was  said  unto 
them.  Ye  are  not  my  people;  there 
shall  they  be  called  the  cnildren  of 
the  living  God. 

27  E-§a-iS,s  also  crieth  concerning 
Is-ra-6l,  ‘Though  the  number  of  the 
children  of  I§Ya-el  be  as  the  sand  of 
the  sea,  a remnant  shall  be  saved  : 

28  For  he  will  finish  ®the  work, 
and  cut  it  short  in  righteousness : 

because  a short  work  will  the  Lord 
make  upon  the  earth. 

29  And  as  E-sadar  said  before,

the  Oen-tiles,  which  followed  not 
after  righteousness,  have  attained 
to  righteousness,  ^even  the  right-

31  But  IsYa-el,  ‘which  followed 
after  the  law  of  righteousness, 
*hath  not  attained  to  the  law  of 
righteousness. 

32  Wherefore?  Because  they  sought 
it  not  by  faith,  but  as  it  were  by 
the  works  of  the  law.  For  ‘they 
stumbled  at  that  stumblingstone ; 

33  As  it  is  written,  ‘'Behold,  I 
lay  in  Si-on  a stumblingstone  and 
rock  of  offence : and  ^ whosoever 
believeth  on  him  shall  not  be  ^a- 
shamed. 

CHAPTER  10. 

5 The  difference  betwixt  the  righteousness  of  the  law,  and 
of  faith,  11  and  that  all,  both  Jew  and  Gentile,  that  be- 
lieve, shall  not  be  confounded. 

Brethren,  my  heart’s  desire 
and  prayer  to  God  for  IsYa-el 
is,  that  they  might  be  saved. 

2 For  I bear  them  record  ’'that 
they  have  a zeal  of  God,  but  not 
according  to  knowledge. 

3 For  they  being  ignorant  of 
‘ God’s  righteousness,  and  going 
about  to  establish  their  own  “right- 
eousness, have  not  submitted  them- 
selves unto  the  righteousness  of 
God. 

4 For  ^^hrist  is  the  end  of  the 
law  for  righteousness  to  every  one 
that  believeth. 

5 For  Mo-ses  describe th  the  right- 
eousness which  is  of  the  law,  ‘'That 
the  man  which  doeth  those  things 
shall  live  by  them. 

6 But  the  righteousness  which  is 
of  faith  speaketh  on  this  wise,  ®Say 
not  in  thine  heart.  Who  shall  ascend 
into  heaven?  (that  is,  to  bring  -Christ 
down  from  above : ) 

7 Or,  Who  shall  descend  into  the 
deep?  (that  is,  to  bring  up  -Christ 
again  from  the  dead.) 

8 But  what  saith  it?  ‘The  word  is 
nigh  thee,  even  in  thy  mouth,  and 
in  thy  heart : that  is,  the  word  of 
faith,  which  we  preach ; 

9 That  *if  thou  shalt  confess  with 
thy  mouth  the  Lord  Je-sus,  and 
shalt  believe  in  thine  heart  that' 
God  hath  raised  him  from  the 
dead,  thou  shalt  be  saved. 

10  For  with  the  heart  man  believ- 
eth unto  righteousness ; and  with 
the  mouth  confession  is  made  unto 
salvation. 

1 1 For  the  scripture  saith,  ^ Y^ho- 


A remnant  of  Israel  ROMA  N^S,  11. 


saved  hy  grav^.. 


soever  believeth  on  him  shall  not 
be  ashamed. 

12  For  “there  is  no  difference  be- 
tween the  Je'w  and  the  Greek ; for 
"the  same  Lord  over  all  “^is  rich 
unto  all  that  call  upon  him. 

13  ®For  whosoever  shall  call  up- 
on the  name  of  the  Lord  shall  be 
S3/V0cl 

14  How  then  shall  they  call  on 
him  in  whom  they  have  not  be- 
lieved 1 and  how  shall  they  believe 
in  him  of  whom  they  have  not 
heard  1 and  how  shall  they  hear 
* without  a preacher  1 

15  And  how  shall  they  preach,  ex- 
cept they  be  sent  1 as  it  is  written, 
’”How  beautiful  are  the  feet  of  them 
that  preach  the  gospel  of  peace,  and 
bring  glad  tidings  of  good  things  ! 

16  But  "they  have  not  all  obeyed 
the  gospel.  ForE-sa-ias  saith,^Lord, 
who  hath  believed  -^our  ‘‘report  1 

1 7 So  then  faith  cometh  by  hearing, 
and  hearing  by  the  word  of  God. 

18  But  I say,  Have  they  not 
heard*?  Yes  verily,  ’’their  sound 
went  into  all  the  earth,  *and  their 
words  unto  the  ends  of  the  world. 

19  But  I say.  Did  not  Is-ra-6l 
know*?  First  Mo-ses  saith,  G will 
provoke  you  to  jealousy  by  them 
that  are  no  people,  and  by  a "fool- 
ish nation  I will  anger  you. 

20  But  E-§a-ias  is  very  bold,  and 
saith,  was  found  of  them  that 
sought  me  not ; I was  made  mani- 
fest unto  them  that  asked  not  after

time  also  there  is  a remnant  ac- 
cording  to  the  election  of  grace. 

6 And  *if  by  grace,  then  is  it  no 
more  of  works : otherwise  grace 
is  no  more  grace.  But  if  it  be  of 
works,  then  is  it  no  more  grace: 
otherwise  work  is  no  more  work. 

7 What  then*?  ^I§-ra-el  hath  not 
obtained  that  which  he  seeketh 
for ; but  the  election  hath  obtained 
it,  and  the  rest  were  ^blinded 

8 (According  as  it  is  written,  '"God 
hath  given  them  the  spirit  of  ‘^slum- 
ber, ’eyes  that  they  should  not  see, 
and  ears  that  they  should  not  hear ;) 
unto  this  day. 

9 And  Da-vid  saith,  *Let  their 
table  be  made  a snare,  and  a trap, 
and  a stumblingblock,  and  a re- 
compence  unto  them: 

10  "Let  their  eyes  be  darkened, 
that  they  may  not  see,  and  bow 
down  their  back  alway. 

Ill  say  then.  Have  they  stumbled 
that  they  should  fall  ? (jod  forbid : 
but  rather  ^through  their  fall  salva- 
tion is  come  unto  the  Gen-tiles,  for 
to  provoke  them  to  jealousy. 

12  Now  if  the  fall  of  them  he 

the  riches  of  the  world,  and  the 
® diminishing  of  them  the  riches 
of  the  Gen- tiles ; how  much  more 
their  fulness  1 ^ 

13  For  I speak  to  you  Gen-tiles, 
inasmuch  as  am  the  apostle  of 
the  Gen- tiles,  I magnify  mine  office : 

r4  If  by  any  means  I may  provoke 
to  emulation  them  which  are  my 
flesh,  and  "might  save  some  of  them. 

15  For  if  the  casting  away  of 
them  he  the  reconciling  of  the 
world,  what  shall  the  receiving  of 
them  he,  but  life  from  the  dead*? 

16  For  if/ the  firstfruit  holy, 
the  lump  is  also  holy:  and  if  the 
root  he  holy,  so  are  the  branches. 

17  And  if  ‘'some  of  the  branches 
be  broken  off,  ‘'and  thou,  being  a 
wild  olive  tree,  wert  graffed  in  '’a- 
mong  them,  and  with  them  par- 
takest  of  the  root  and  fatness  of  the 
olive  tree ; 

18^  Boast  not  against  the  branches. 
But  if  thou  boast,  thou  bearest  not 
the  root,  but  the  root  thee. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then.  The 
branches  were  broken  off,  that  I 
might  he  graffed  in. 

20  Well ; because  of  unbelief  they 
were  broken  off,  and  thou  standest 
by  faith.  *Be  not  highminded,  but 
ffear : 

21  For  if  God  spared  not  the 
natural  branches,  take  heed  lest  he 
also  spare  not  thee. 

22  Behold  therefore  the  goodness 
and  severity  of  God : on  them 


160 


Israel  not  wholly  r^ected.

which  fell,  severity;  but  toward 
thee,  goodness,  “ if  thou  continue 
in  his  goodness : otherwise  ^ thou 
also  shalt  be  cut  off. 

23  And  they  also,  ^if  they  abide 
not  still  in  unbelief,  shall  be  graffed 
in : for  God  is  able  to  graff’  them 
in  again. 

24  For  if  thou  wert  cut  out  of  the 
olive  tree  which  is  wild  by  nature, 
and  wert  graffed  contrary  to  nature 
into  a good  olive  tree:  how  much 
more  shall  these,  which  be  the  nat- 
ural branches,  be  graffed  into  their 
own  olive  tree  1 

25  For  I would  not,  brethren,  that 
ye  should  be  ignorant  of  this  mys- 
tery, lest  ye  should  be  ^wise  in  your 
own  conceits;  that  ” blindness^  in 
part  is  happened  to  Is^ra-el,  "un- 
til the  fulness  of  the  Gen-tiles  be 
come  in. 

26  And  so  all  Is-rd-el  shall  be 
saved : as  it  is  written,  ""There  shall 
come  out  of  Si-5n  the  Deliverer, 
and  shall  turn  away  ungodliness 
from  Ja^5b  : 

27  *For  this  mv  covenant  un- 
to them,  when  I snail  take  away 
their  sins. 

28  As  concerning  the  gospel,  they 
are  enemies  for  your  sakes:  but 
as  touching  the  election,  they  are 
* beloved  for  the  fathers’  sakes. 

29  For  the  gifts  and  calling  of 
God  are  "without  repentance. 

30  For  as  ye  ‘^in  times  past  have 
not  f believed  God,  yet  have  now 
obtained  mercy  through  their  un- 
belief : 

31  Even  so  have  these  also  now 
not  '^believed,  that  through  your 
mercy  they  also  may  obtain  mercy. 

32  For  *God  hath  ^concluded  them 
all  in  unbelief,  that  he  might  have 
mercy  upon  all. 

33  0 the  depth  of  the  riches  both 
of  the  wisdom  and  knowledge  of 
God ! " how  unsearchable  are  his 
judgmehts,  and  ^his  ways  past  find- 
ing out ! 

34  ""For  who  hath  known  the  mind 
of  the  Lord  % or  * who  hath  been  his 
counsellor  % 

35  Or  *who  hath  first  given  to  him, 
and  it  shall  be  recompensed  unto 
him  again  % 

36  For  ®qf  him,  and  through  him, 
and  to  him,  are  all  things : " to

CHAPTER  13. 

1 Of  subjection  to  magistrates.  8 Love  is  the  fulfilling  of 
the  law.  11  The  works  of  darkness  are  out  of  season  in 
the  time  of  the  gospel. 

IET  every  soul  ‘*be  suWect  unto 
J the  higher  powers.  For there 
is  no  power  but  of  God : the  powers 
that  be  are  ^ordained  of  God.  ^ 

2 Whosoever  therefore  resisteth 
the  power,  resisteth  the  ordinance 
of  God : and  they  that  resist  shall 
receive  to  themselves  damnation. 

3 For  rulers  are  not  a terror  to 
good  works,  but  to  the  evil.  Wilt 
thou  then  not  be  afraid  of  the 
power”?  do  that  which  is  good, 
and  thou  shalt  have  praise  of  the 


same : 

4 For  he  is  the  minister  of  God  to 
thee  for  good.  But  if  thou  do  that 
which  is  evil,  be  afraid ; for  he  bear- 
eth  not  the  sword  in  vain : for  he  is 
the  minister  of  God,  a revenger  to 
execute  wrath  upon  him  that  doeth 
evil. 

5 'y^ierefore  '^ye  must  needs  be 
subject,  not  only  for  wrath,  "*but 
also  for  conscience  sake. 

6 For  for  this  cause  pay  ye  trib- 
ute also:  for  they  are  Goas  min- 
isters, attending  continually  upon 
this  very  thing. 

7 ^Render  therefore  to  all  their 
dues:  tribute  to  whom  tribute  is 
due  ; custom  to  whom  custom ; fear 
to  whom  fear;  honour  to  whom 
honour. 

8 Owe  no  man  any  thing,  but  to 
love  one  another : for  ^he  that  lov- 
eth  another  hath  fulfilled  the  law. 

9 For  this,  *Thou  shalt  not  com- 
mit adultery.  Thou  shalt  not  kill. 
Thou  shalt  not  steal.  Thou  shalt 
not  bear  false  witness,  Thou  shalt 
not  covet ; and  if  there  be  any  other 
commandment,  it  is  briefly  com- 
prehended in  this  saying,  namely, 
*Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as 
thyself. 

10  Love  worketh  no  ill  to  his 
neighbour:  therefore  love  is  the. 
fulfilling  of  the  law.  ^ 

11  And  that,  knowing  the  time, 
that  now  it  is  high  time  to  awake 
out  of  sleep : for  now  is  our  salva- 
tion nearer  than  when  we  believed. 

. 12  The  night  is  far  spent,  the  day 
13  at  hand  : •’let  us  therefore  cast  off 
the  works  of  darknesSj  and  ‘^let  us 
put  on  the  armour  of  light. 

13  ^Let  us  walk  ® honestly,  as  in 
the  day ; '^not  in  rioting  and  drunk-

CHAPTER  14. 

1 How  to  treat  a weak  brother.  3 Men  may  not  condemn 
one  the  other  for  things  indifferent. 

Him  that  ®is  weak  in  the  faith 
receive  ye,  but  ^not  to  doubt- 
ful disputations. 

2 For  one  belie veth  that  he  ^may 
eat  all  things : another,  who  is  weal^ 
eateth  herbs.  ^ 

3 Let  not  him  that  eateth  despise 
him  that  eateth  not;  and  *let  not 
him  which  eateth  not  judge  him 
that  eateth : for  God  hath  received 
him. 

4 * Who  art  thou  that  judgest  an- 
other man’s  servant”?  to  his  own 
master  he  standeth  or  falleth.  Yea, 
he  shall  be  holden  up : for  God  is 
able  to  make  him  stand. 

5 *One  man  esteemeth  one  day 
above  another : another  esteemeth 
every  day  alike.  Let  every  man  be 
^ fully  persuaded  in  his  own  mind. 

6 He  that  ^regardeth^  the  day.  re- 
gardeth  it  unto  the  Lord ; and  he 
that  regardeth  not  the  day,  to  the 
Lord  he  doth  not  regard  it.  He 
that  eatetln  eateth  to  the  Lord,  for 
‘’he  giveth  God  thanks ; and  he  that 
eateth  not,  to  the  Lord  he  eateth 
not,  and  giveth  God  thanks. 

7 For  *none  of  us  liveth  to  him- 
selL  and  no  man  dieth  to  himself. 
8 For  whether  we  live,  we  live  unto 
the  Lord ; and  whether  we  die,  we 
die  unto  the  Lord : whether  we  live 
therefore,  or  die,  we  are  the  Lord’s. 
9 For  *to  this  end  -Christ  both  died, 
and  rose,  and  revived,  that  he  might 
be  “Lord  both  of  the  dead  and  living. 
10  But  why  dost  thou  judge  thy 
brother”?  or  why  dost  thou  set  at 
nought  thy  brother”?  for  *we  shall 
all  stand  before  the  judgment  seat 
of  Christ.^ 

11  For  it  is  written,  ^As  I live, 
saith  the  Lord,  every  knee  shall 
bow  to  me,  and  every  tongue  shall 
confess  to  God. 

12  So  then  “every  one  of  us  shall 
give  account  of  himself  to  God. 

13  Let  us  not  therefore  judge  one 
another  any  more  : but  judge  this 
rather,  that  *no  man  jput  a stum- 
blingbiock  or  an  occasion  to  fall  in 
his  brother’s  way. 

14  I know,  and  am  persuaded 
by  the  Lord  J e-siis,  /that  there  is 
nothing  ® unclean  of  itself : but  •'’to 
him  that  esteemeth  any  thing  to  be 
’unclean,  to  him  it  is  unclean. 


The  strong  must 


ROMANS,  15. 


hear  with  the  weak. 


15  But  if  thy  brother  be  grieved 
with  thy  meat,  now  walkest  thou 
not  ^charitably.  * Destroy  not  him 
with  thy  meat,  for  whom  -Christ 
died. 

16  ‘^Let  not  then  your  good  be  evil 
spoken  of : 

1 7 -^For  the  kingdom  of  God  is  not 
meat  and  drink  ; but  righteousness, 
and  peace,  and  joy  in  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

18  For  he  that  in  these  things 
serveth  -Christ  Hs  acceptable  to 
God,  and  approved  of  men. 

19  ^Let  us  therefore  follow  after 
the  things  which  make  for  peace, 
and  things  wherewith  ""one  may 
edify  another. 

20  For  meat  destroy  not  the  work 
of  God.  ° All  things  indeed  are 
pure ; ^but  it  is  evil  for  that  man 
who  eateth  with  offence. 

21  is  good  neither  to  eat  ^flesh, 
nor  to  drink  wine,  nor  any  thing 
whereby  thy  brother  stumbleth,  or 
is  offended,  or  is  made  weak. 

22  Hast  thou  faith  1 have  it  to 
thyself  before  God.  * Happy  is  he 
that  condemneth  not  himself  in 
that  thing  which  he  alloweth. 

23  And  he  that  ^doubteth  is 
damned  if  he  eat,  because  he  eat- 
eth not  of  faith : for  ^ whatsoever 
is  not  of  faith  is  sin.

1 The  strong  must  bear  with  the  weak.  15  Paul  excuseth 
his  writing,  30  and  reguesteth  their  prayers. 

WE  “then  that  are  strong  ought 
to  bear  the  infirmities  of  the 
weak,  and  not  to  please  ourselves. 

2  “Let  every  one  of  us  please  his 
neighbour  for  his  good  to  edifica- 
tion. 

3  “For  even  -Christ  pleased  not  him- 
self ; but,  as  it  is  written,  -^The  re- 
proaches of  them  that  reproached 
thee  fell  on  me. 

4  For  ^whatsoever  things  were 
written  aforetime  were  written  for 
our  learning,  that  we  through  pa- 
tience and  comfort  of  the  scriptures 
might  have  hope.

9 And  “that  the  G6n-tiles  might 
glorify  God  for  his  mercy ; as  it  is 
written,  “For  this  cause  I will  con- 
fess to  thee  among  the  Gen-tiles, 
and  sing  unto  thy  name. 

10  And  again  he  saith,  “Rejoice, 
ye  G6n-tiles,  with  his  people. 

11  And  again,  ^Praise  the  Lord, 
all  ye  Ggn-tiles ; and  laud  him,  all 
ye  people. 

1 2 And  again,  E-sa-ias  saith,  '"There 
shall  be  a root  of  Jes-s6,  and  he  that 
shall  rise  to  reign  over  the  GSn-tiles ; 
in  him  shall  the  G6n-tiles  trust. 

13  Now  the  God  of  hope  M you 
with  all  'joy  and  peace  in  believing, 
that  ye  may  abound  in  hope,  through 
the  power  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

14  And  "I  myself  also  am  persuaded 
of  you,  my  brethren,  that  ye  also 
are  full  of  goodness,  ^ filled  with  all 
knowledge,  able  also  to  admonish 
one  another. 

15  Nevertheless,  brethren,  I have 
written  the  more  boldly  unto  you 
in  some  sort,  as  putting  you  in 
mind,  * because  of  the  grace  that  is 
given  to  me  of  God, 

16  That  “I  should  be  the  minister 
of  Je-siis  -Christ  to  the  Ggn-tiles, 
ministering  the  gospel  of  God,  that 
the  ^ offering^  up  of  the  GSn-tiles 
might  be  acceptable,  being  sancti- 
fied by  the  Holy  Ghost. 

17  1 have  therefore  whereof  I may 
glory  through  Je-siis  -Christ  Gn 
those  things  which  pertain  to  God. 

18  For  I will  not  dare  to  speak  of 
any  of  those  things  ''which  -Christ 
hath  not  wrought  by  me,  to  make 
the  Gen-tiles  obedient,  by  word  and 
deed, 

19  ‘'Through  mighty  signs  and 
wonders,  by  the  power  of  the  Spirit 
of  God ; so  that  from  Je-ru-sa-l6m, 
and  round  about  unto  Il-lyr-i-eiim, 
I have  fully  preached  the  gospel  or 
Christ. 

20  Yea,  so  have  I strived  to  preach 
the  gospel,  not  where  -Christ  was 
named,  ^ lest  I should  build  upon 
another  man’s  foundation : 

21  But  as  it  is  written,  'To  whom 
he  was  not  spoken  of,  they  shall 
see : and  they  that  have  not  heard 
shall  understand. 

22  For  which  cause  also  'I  have 
been  ®much  hindered  from  coming 
to  you. 

23  But  now  having  no  more  place 
in  these  parts,  and  “ having  a great 
desire  these  many  years  to  come 
unto  you ; 

24  Whensoever  I take  my  journey

25  But  now  "I  go  unto  Je-ru-sa-

26  For  *it  hath  pleased  them  of 
Mag-g-do-nl-a  and  A-eha'ia  to  make 
a certain  contribution  for  the  poor 
saints  which  are  at  Je-ru-sa-l6m. 

27  It  hath  pleased  them  verily ; 
and  their  debtors  they  are.  For  “if 
the  Ogn-tiles  have  been  made  par-

After  his  salutation  and  thanksgiving,  10  he  exhorteth 
them  to  unity,  12  and  reproveth  their  dissensions. 

PAUL,  “called  to  he  an  apostle  of 
Je-§us  Christ  ‘'through  the  will 
of  God,  and  S5s-the-nes  our  brother, 

^ 2 Unto  the  church  of  God  which 
is  at  C6r-inth,  to  them  that  ®are 
sanctified  in  -Christ  Je-stis,  called 
to  he  saints,  with  all  that  in  every 
place  call  upon  the  name  of  Je-siis 
Christ  ^our  Lord,  '"both  their ’s  and 
our’s : 

3  * Grace  he  unto  you,  and  peace, 
from  God  our  Father,  and  from  the 
Lord  Je-siis  Christ. 

4  H thank  my  God  always  on  your 
behalf,  for  the  grace  of  God  which 
is  given  you  by  Je-sus  Christ ; 

5  That  in  every  thing  ye  are  en- 
riched by  him,  ®in  all  utterance, 
and  in  all  knowledge ; 

6  Even  as  * the  testimony  of  Christ 
was  confirmed  in  you  : 

7  So  that  ye  come  behind  in  no 

fift ; “waiting  for  the  ^coming  of  our 
(Ord  J e-§us  Christ : 

8  y Who  shall  also  confirm  you  un- 
to the  end,  ^that  ye  may  he  blame- 
less in  the  day  of  our  Lord  Je-sus 
Christ. 

9  ^God  is  faithful,  by  whom  ye 
were  called  unto  ‘'the  fellowship  of 
his  Son  Je-§us  Christ  our  Lord. 

10  Now  I beseech  you,  brethren, 
W the  name  of  our  Lord  Jeksiis 
Christ,  ®that  ye  all  speak  the  same 
thing,  and  that  there  be  no  ^divi- 
sions among  you ; but  that  ye  be 
perfectly  joined  together  in  the 
same  mind  and  in  the  same  judg- 
ment. 

11  For  it  hath  been  declared  unto 
me  of  you,  my  brethren,  by  them 
which  are  of  the  house  of  Chlo-e, 
that  there  are  contentions  among 
you. 

12  Now  this  I say,  ^that  every  one

crucified  for  you"?  or  were  ye  bap- 
tized in  the  name  of  Paul  ? 

14  I thank  God  that  I baptized 
none  of  you,  but  *Cris-pus  and 
‘^Ga-itis ; 

15  Lest  any  should  say  that  I had 
baptized  in  mine  own  name. 

16  And  I baptized  also  the  house- 
hold of  -^Steph-a-nas : besides,  I 
know  not  whether  I baptized  any 
other. 

17  For  Christ  sent  me  not  to  bap- 
tize, but  to  preach  the  gospel : *not 
with  wisdona  of  ^ words,  lest  the 
cross  of  Christ  should  be  made  of 
none  effect. 

18  For  the  preaching  of  the  cross 
is  to  ""them  that  perish  “foolish- 
ness ; but  unto  us  ‘’which  are  saved 
it  is  the  ^power  of  God. 

19  For  it  is  written,  ^I  will  destroy 
the  wisdom  of  the  wise,  and  will 
bring  to  nothing  the  understanding 
of  the  prudent. 

20  * Where  is  the  wise"?  where  is 
the  scribe?  where  is  the  disputer 
of  this  world  ? ''hath  not  God  made 
foolish  the  wisdom  of  this  world  % 

21  “For  after  that  in  the  wisdom 
of  God  the  world  by  wisdom  knew 
not  God,  it  pleased  God  by  the 
foolishness  of  preaching  to  save 
them  that  believe. 

22  For  the  require  a sign, 

and  the  Greeks  seek  after  wisdom  : 

23  But  we  preach  Christ  crucified, 
■^unto  the  Jews  a stumblingblock, 
and  unto  the  Greeks  f foolishness  • 

24  Butjinto  them  which  are  called, 
both  Jew§  and  Greeks,  Christ  '"the 
giwer  of  God,  and  "the  wisdom  of 

25  Because  the  foolishness  of  God 
is  wiser  than  men ; and  the  weak- 
ness of  God  is  stronger  than  men. 

26  For  ye  see  your  calling^  breth- 
ren, how  that  *not  many  wise  men 
after  the  flesh,  not  many  mighty, 
not  many  noble,  are  called: 

27  ^ But  ‘’God  hath  chosen  the 
foolish  things  of  the  world  to  con- 
found the  wise;  and  God  hath 


The  manner  of

chosen  the  weak  things  of  the 
world  to  confound  the  things 
which  are  mighty ; 

28  And  base  things  of  the  world, 
and  things  which  are  despised,  hath 
God  chosen,  yea,  and  Hhings  which 
are  not,  to  bring  to  nought  things 
that  are : 

29  •'That  no  flesh  should  glory  in 
his  presence. 

30  But  of  him  are  ye  in  Christ 
Je-sus,  who  of  God  is  made  unto 
us  wisdom,  and  -^righteousness,  and 
‘'sanctification,  and  '^redemptmn : 

31  That,  according  as  it  is  written, 
^He  that  glorieth,  let  him  glory  in 
the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 He  declareth  that  his  preaching,  though  it  bring  not  ex- 
cellency of  speech,  6 so  far  excelleth  the  vnsdom  of  this 
world,  9 and  human  sense,  as  that  the  natural  man  can- 
not understand  it. 


AND  I,  brethren,  when  I came  to 
you,  came  not  with  excellency 
of  speech  or  of  wisdom,  declaring 
unto  you  ”the  testimony  of  God. 

2 For  I determined  not  to  know 
any  thing  among  you,  “save  Je-sus 
Christ,  and  him  crucified. 

3 And  Pi  was  with  you  «in  weak- 
ness, and  in  fear,  and  in  much 
trembling. 

4 And  my  speech  and  my  preach- 
ing ^was  not  with  “^enticing  words  of 
man’s  wisdom,  "'but  in  demonstra- 
tion of  the  Spirit  and  of  power  : 

5 That  your  faith  should  not  ® stand 
in  the  wisdom  of  men,  but  ^in  the 
power  of  God. 

6 Howbeit  we  speak  wisdom  a- 
mong  them  ^that  are  perfect:  yet 
not  “the  wisdom  of  this  world, 
nor  of  the  princes  of  this  world, 
that  come  to  nought: 

7 But  we  speak  the  wisdom  of 
G9d  in  a mystery,  even  the  hidden 
wisdom,  “which  God  ordained  be- 
fore the  world  unto  our  glory : 

8 Which  none  of  the  princes  of 
this  world  knew : for  *had  they 
known  it,  they  would  not  have 
crucified  the  Lord  of  glory. 

9 But  as  it  is  written,  *Eye  hath 
not  seen,  nor  ear  heard,  neither 
have  entered  into  the  heart  of  man. 
the  things  which  God  hath  prepared 
for  them  that  love  him. 

10  But  ’^God  hath  revealed  them 
unto  us  by  his  Spirit : for  the  Spirit 
searcheth  all  things,  yea,  the  deep 
thin^  of  God. 

11  For  what  man  knoweth  the 
things  of  a man,  «save  the  spirit  of 
man  which  is  in  him  1 ’'even  so  the 
things  of  God  knoweth  no  man,  but 
the  Spirit  of  God. 

12  Now  we  have  received,  not  the

3 For  ye  are  yet  carnal : for 
whereas  there  is  among  you  envy-

ye  not  carnal,  and  walk  ’as  men!

to  every  man  1 

6 ‘^I  have  planted,  A-p6ld6s  wa-

7 So  then  ^neither  is  he  that 
planteth  any  thing,  neither  he  that

8 Now  he  that  planteth  and  he 
that  watereth  are  one : *and  every 
man  shall  receive  his  own  reward

1 In  what  account  the  ministers  of  Christ  ought  to  he  had. 
7 fVe  have  nothing  which  we  have  not  received.  9 The 
apostles  spectacles  to  the  world,  angels,  and  men. 

IET  a man  so  account  of  us,  as 
i of  ‘'the  ministers  of  -Christ, 
‘’and  stewards  of  the  mysteries 
of  God. 

2  Moreover  it  is  required  in 
stewards,  that  a man  be  found 
faithful. 

3  But  with  me  it  is  a very  small 
thing  that  I should  be  judged  of 
you,  or  of  man’s  ® judgment : yea,  I 
judge  not  mine  own  self. 

4  For  I know  nothing  by  myself ; 
^yet  am  I not  hereby  justified  : but 
he  that  judgeth  me  is  the  Lord. 

5  "‘Therefore  judge  nothing  before 
the  time,  until  the  Lord  come^  who 
both  will  bring  to  light  the  hidden 
things  of  darkness,  and  will  make 
manifest  the  counsels  of  the  hearts : 
and  ^'then  shall  every  man  have 
praise  of  God.

6 And  these  things,  brethren,  I 

have  in  a figure  transferred  to  my- 
self and  to  A-p5l-l5s  for  your  sakes ; 
*that  ye  might  learn  in  us  not  to 
think  of  men  above  that  which  is 
written,  that  no  one  of  you  ‘*be 
puffed  up  for  one  against  another. 

7 For  who  ■■^maketh  thee  to  differ 
from  another .?  and  ^what  hast  thou 
that  thou  didst  not  received  now 
if  thou  didst  receive  it,  why  dost 
thou  glory,  as  if  thou  hadst  not 
received  itl 

8 Now  ye  are  full,  •''now  ye  are 
rich,  ye  have  reigned  as  kings  with- 
out us  : and  I would  to  God  ye  did 
reign,  that  we  also  might  reign  with 
you. 

9 For  I think  that  God  hath  set 
forth  '^us  the  apostles  last,  '‘as  it 
were  appointed  to  death : for  ‘ we 
are  made  a ^spectacle  unto  the 
world,  and  to  angels,  and  to  men. 

10  'We  are  "‘fools  for  -Christ’s  sake, 
but  ye  are  wise  in  -Christ ; "we  are 
weak,  but  ye  are  strong;  ye  are 
honourable,  but  we  are  despised. 

11  ‘'Even  unto  this  present  hour 
we  both  hunger,  and  thirst,  and  ^are 
naked,  and  "are  buffeted,  and  have 
no  certain  dwellingplace ; ^ 

12  'And  labour,  working  with 
our  own  hands : "being  reviled,  we 
bless;  being  persecuted,  we  suffer 
it : 

13  Being  defamed,  we  intreat:  ''we 
are  made  as  the  filth  of  the  world, 
and  are  the  offscouring  of  all  things 
unto  this  day. 

14  I write  not  these  things  to 
shame  you,  but  “as  my  beloved  sons 
I warn  you. 

15  For  though  ye  have  ten  thou- 
sand instructors  in  -Christ,  yet  have 
ye  not  many  fathers  : for  ''in  -Christ 
Je-sus  I have  begotten  you  through 
the  gospel. 

16  Wherefore  I beseech  you,  ‘'be 
ye  followers  of  me. 

1 7 For  this  cause  have  I sent  un- 
to you  •''Ti-mo-the-iis,  ^ who  is  my 
beloved  son,  and  faithful  in  the 
Lord,  who  snail  bring  you  into  re- 
membrance of  my  ways  which  be 
in  -Christ,  as  I teach  every  where 
in  every  church. 

18  Now  some  are  puffed  up,  as 
thou^  I would  not  come  to  you. 

1 9 * But  I will  come  to  you  shortly, 
'if  the  Lord  will,  and  will  know, 
not  the  speech  of  them  which  are 
puffed  up,  but  the  power. 

20  For  "the  kingdom  of  God  is 
not  in  word,  but  in  power. 

21  What  will  ye*?  ‘'shall  I come 
unto  you  with  a rod,  or  in  love,  and 
in  the  spirit  of  meekness  1

1 The  incestiwus  person  6 is  cause  rather  of  shame  than 
of  rejtyicing,  7 The  old  leaven  is  to  he  pmrged  out.  10 
Heinous  offenders  are  to  he  shunned. 

IT  is  reported  commonly  that  there 
is  fornication  among  you,  and 
such  fornication  as  is  not  so  much 
as  ^ named  among  the  OSn-tiles, 
‘^that  one  should  have  his  ® father  s 
wife. 

2  And  ye  are  puffed  up,  and  have 
not  rather  ^mourned,  that  he  that 
hath  done  this  deed  might  be  taken 
away  from  among  you. 

3  '‘For  I verily,  as  absent  in  body, 
but  present  in  spirit,  have  ^judged 
already,  as  though  I were  present, 
concerning  him  that  hath  so  done 
this  deed, 

4  In  the  name  of  our  Lord  J e-sus 
■Christ,  when  ye  are  gathered  to- 
gether, and  my  spirit,  *with  the 
power  of  our  Lord  Je-siis  -Christ, 

5  * To  deliver  such  an  one  unto 
’”Sa-tan  for  the  destruction  of  the 
flesh,  that  the  spirit  may  be  saved 
in  the  day  of  the  Lord  Je-siis. 

6  ” Your  glorying  is  not  good. 
Know  ye  not  that  "a  little  leaven 
leaveneth  the  whole  lumpl 
7 Purge  out  therefore  the  old  lea- 
ven, that  ye  may  be  a new  lump, 
as  ye  are  unleavened.^  For  even 
^Christ  our  ®passover  ^is  sacrificed 
for  us : 

8  Therefore  det  us  keep/the  feast, 
“not  with  old  leaven,  neither  * with 
the  leaven  of  malice  and  wicked- 
ness ; but  with  the  unleavened 
bread  of  sincerity  and  truth. 

9  I wrote  unto  you  in  an  epistle 
'‘not  to  company  with  fornicators  : 

10  Yet  not  altogether  with  the 
fornicators  of  this  world,  or  with 
the  covetous,  or  extortioners,  or 
with  idolaters;  for  then  must  ye 
needs  go  ®out  of  the  world. 

11  But  now  I have  written  unto 
you  not  to^  keep  company,  '^if  any 
man  that  is  called  a brother  be  a 
fornicator,  or  covetous,  or  an  idol 
ater,  or  a railer,  or  a drunkard,  or 
an  extortioner;  with  such  an  one 
S' no  not  to  eat. 

1 2  For  what  have  I to  do  to  judge 
‘them  also  that  are  without?  do  not 
ye  judge  them  that  are  within  ? 

13  But  them  that  are  without  God 
judgeth.  Therefore  "‘‘put  away  from 
among  yourselves  that  wicked  per-

before  the  unjust,  and  not  before 

the  saints? 

2 Do  ye  not  know  that  “the  saints 
shall  judge  the  world?  and  if  the 
world  shall  be  judged  by  you,  are 
ye  unworthy  to  judge  the  smallest 
matters  ? 

3 Know  ye  not  that  we  shall  ® judge 
angels  ? how  much  more  things  that 
pertain  to  this  life  ? 

4 •''If  then  ye  have  judgments  of 
things  pertaining  to  this  life,  set 
them  to  judge  who  are  least  es- 
teemed in  the  church. 

5 I speak  to  your  shame.  Is  it  so, 
that  there  is  not  a wise  man  among 
you  ? no,  not  one  that  shall  be  able 
to  judge  between  his  brethren  ? 

6 But  brother  goeth  to  law  with 
brother,  and  that  before  the  un- 
believers. 

7 Now  therefore  there  is  utterly  a 
fault  among  you,  because  ye  go  to 
law  one  with  another.  ‘Why  do  ye 
not  rather  take  wrong  ? why  do  ve 
not  rather  suffer  yourselves  to  be 
defrauded  ? 

8 Nay,  ye  do  wrong,  and  defraud, 
^and  that  your  brethren. 

9 Know  ye  not  that  the  unright- 
eous shall  not  inherit  the  kingdom 
of  God  ? Be  not  deceived  : « neither 
fornicators,  nor  idolaters,  nor  adul- 
terers, nor  effeminate,  nor  abusers 
of  themselves  with  mankind, 

10  Nor  thieves,  nor  covetous,  nor 
drunkards,  nor  revilers,  nor  extor- 
tioners, shall  inherit  the  kingdom 
of  God. 

11  And  such  were  ^some  of  you: 
^but  ye  are  washed,  but  ye  are 
sanctified,  but  ye  are  justified  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord  Je-stis,  and 
by  the  Spirit  of  our  God. 

12  ‘’All  things  are  lawful  unto  me, 
but  all  things  are  not  ^ expedient : 
all  things  are  lawful  for  me,  but  I 
will  not  be  brought  under  the  power 
of  any. 

13  ® Meats  for  the  belly,  and  the 
belly  for  meats : but  God  shall  de- 
stroy both  it  and  them.  Now  the 
body  is  not  for  fornication,  but  ^for 
the  Lord ; ‘‘and  the  Lord  for  the 
body. 

14  And  ‘^God  hath  both  raised  up 
the  Lord,  and  will  also  raise  up  us 
‘ by  his  own  power. 

15  Know  ye  not  that  “your  bodies 
are  the  members  of  -Christ  ? shall  I 
then  take  the  members  of  Christ, 
and  make  them  the  members  of  an 
harlot?  God  forbid. 

16  What?  know  ye  not  that  he 
which  is  joined  to  an  harlot  is  one 
body?  for  “two,  saith  he,  shall  be 
one  flesh.

nication  sinneth  ‘^against  his  own

19  What'?  ^know  ye  not  that  your 

body  is  the  temple  of  the_  Holy 
Ghost  which  is  in  you,  which  ye 
have  of  God,  -^and  ye  are  not  your 
ownl  , , , 

20  For  ^ye  are  bought  with  a price : 
therefore  glorify  God  in  your  body, 
and  in  your  spirit,  which  are  God  s.

2 He  treatctk  of  marriage.  10  The  bond  thereof  ought  not 
lightly  to  be  dissolved.  25  Virginity  wherefore  to  be 
embraced.  35  For  what  respects  we  may  either  marry, 
or  abstain  from  marrying. 

]VrOW  concerning  the  things  where- 

of  ye  wrote  unto  me : ^It  is  good 
for  a man  not  to  touch  a woman. 

2 Nevertheless,  to  avoid  fornica- 
tion, let  every  man  have  his  own 
wife,  and  let  every  woman  have  her 
own  husband. 

3 ^Let  the  husband  render  unto 

the  wife  due  benevolence  : and 
likewise  also  the  wife  unto  the 
husband.  , „ , 

4 The  wife  hath  not  power  of  her 
ovm  body,  but  the  husband  : and 
likewise  also  the  husband  hath  not 
power  of  his  own  body,  but  the  wife. 

5 ® Defraud  ye  not  one  the  other, 
except  it  he  with  consent  for  a time, 
that  ye  may  give  yourselves  to  fast- 
ing and  prayer  ; and  come  together 
again,  that  * Sa-tan  tempt  you  not 
for  your  incontinency. 

6 But  I speak  this  by  permission, 
^and  not  of  commandment. 

7 For  yl  would  that  all  men  were 
*even  as  I myself.  .But  “every  man 
hath  his  proper  gift  of  God,  one 
after  this  manner,  and  another  after 

8 I say  therefore  to  the  unmarried 

and  widows,  ®It  is  good  for  them  if 
they  abide  even  as  1.  , . , ^ 

9 But  Hf  they  cannot  contain,  let 
them  marry : for  it  is  better  to 
marry  than  to  burn. 

10  And  unto  the  married  I com- 
mand, yet  not  I,  but  the  Lord,  ^'Let 
not  the  wife  depart  from  her  hus- 
band : 

1 1 But  and  if  she  depart,  let  her 
remain  unmarried,  or  be  reconciled 
to  her  husband : and  let  not  the 
husband  put  away  his  wife. 

12  But  to  the  rest  speak  I,  not 
the  Lord : If  any  brother  hath  a 
wife  that  believeth  not,  and  she 
be  pleased  to  dwell  with  him,  let 
him  not  put  her  away.

21  Art  thou  called  being  a serv- 
ant % care  not  for  it : but  if  thou 
mayest  be  made  free,  use  it  rather. 

22  For  he  that  is  called  in  the 

Lord,  being  a servant,  is  ^the  Lord’s 
^freeman : likewise  also  he  that  is 
called,  being  free,  is  ^-Christ’s  serv- 
ant. . 

23  ‘"Ye  are  bought  with  a price ; be 
not  ye  the  servants  of  men. 

24  Brethren,  let  every  man,  where- 
in he  is  called,  therein  abide  with 

God.  . . . .T 1 

25  Now  concerning  virgins  ®1  have 

no  commandment  of  the  Lord  : yet 
I give  my  judgment,  as  one  ‘*that 
hath  obtained  mercy  of  the  Lord 
^to  be  faithful.  . 

26  I suppose  therefore  that  this  is 
good  for  the  present  ^distress,  / say, 
that  it  is  good  for  a man  so  to  be. 

27  Art  thou  bound  unto  a wife? 
seek  not  to  be  loosed.  Art  thou 
loosed  from  a wife  ? seek  not  a wife. 

28  But  and  if  thou  marry,  thou 
hast  not  sinned ; and  if  a virgin 
marry,  she  hath  not  sinned.  Never- 
theless such  shall  have  trouble  in 
the  flesh : but  I spare  you. 

29  But  '‘this  I say,  brethren,  the 
time  is  short:  it  remaineth,  that 
both  they  that  have  wives  be  as 
though  they  had  none;

must  not  he  abused. 


30  And  they  that  weep,  as  though 
they  wept  not;  and  they  that  re- 
joice, as  though  they  rejoiced  not ; 
and  they  that  buy,  as  though  they 
possessed  not ; 

31  And  they  that  use  this  world, 
as  not  ‘'abusing  it : for  “^the  fashion 
of  this  world  passeth  away. 

32  But  I would  have  you  without 
carefulness.  -^He  that  is  unmarried 
careth  for  the  things  Hhat  belong 
to  the  Lord,  how  he  may  please  the 
Lord : 

33  But  he  that  is  married  careth 
for  the  things  that  are  of  the  world, 
how  he  may  please  his  wife. 

34  There  is  difference  also  between 
a wife  and  a virgin.  The  unmar- 
ried woman  ""careth  for  the  things 
of  the  Lord,  that  she  may  be  holy 
both  in  body  and  in  spirit : but 
she  that  is  married  careth  for  the 
things  of  the  world,  how  she  may 
please  her  husband. 

35  And  this  I speak  for  your  own 
profit ; not  that  I may  cast  a snare 
upon  you,  but  for  that  which  is 
comely,  and  that  ye  may  attend 
upon  the  Lord  without  distraction. 

36  But  if  any  man  think  that  he 
behayeth  himself  uncomely  toward 
his  virgin,  if  she  pass  the  flower  of 
her  age,  and  need  so  require,  let  him 
do  what  he  will,  he  sinneth  not : let 
them  marry. 

37  Nevertheless  he  that  standeth 
stedfast  in  his  heart,  having  no 
necessity,  but  hath  power  over  his 
own  will,  and  hath  so  decreed  in 
his  heart  that  he  will  keep  his  vir- 
gin, doeth  well. 

38  *So  then  he  that  giveth  her  in 
marriage  doeth  well;  but  he  that 
giveth  her  not  in  marriage  doeth 
better. 

39  ^'The  wife  is  bound  by  the  law 
as  long  as  her  husband  liveth  ; but 
if  her  husband  be  dead,  she  is  at 
liberty  to  be  married  to  whom  she 
will ; “only  in  the  Lord. 

40  But  she  is  happier  if  she  so 
abide,  after  my  judgment : and  ‘^I 
think  also  that  I have  the  Spirit  of 
God.

ing  of  those  things  that  are  offered 
in  sacrifice  unto  idols,  we  know 
that  “an  idol  is  nothing  in  the 
world,  *and  that  there  is  none 
other  God  but  one. 

5 For  though  there  be  that  are 
^called  gods,  whether  in  heaven  or 
in  earth,  (as  there  be  gods  many, 
and  lords  many,) 

6 But  ^to  us  there  is  but  one  God, 
the  Father,  '^of  whom  are  all  things, 
and  we  ^in  him;  and  ’one  Lord 
Jefstis  -Christ,  *by  whom  are  all 
things,  and  we  by  him. 

7 Howbeit  there  is  not  in  every 
man  that  knowledge : for  some 
'with  conscience  of  the  idol  unto 
this  hour  eat  it  as  a thing  offered 
unto  an  idol ; and  their  conscience 
being  weak  is  "defiled. 

8 But  ‘"meat  commendeth  us  not 
to  God : for  neither,  if  we  eat,  ^are 
we  the  better;  neither,  if  we  eat 
not,  '^are  we  the  worse. 

9 But  ^take  heed  lest  by  any  means 
this  ® liberty  of  your’s  become 
stumblingblock  to  them  that  are 
weak. 

10  For  if  any  man  see  thee  which 
hast  knowledge  sit  at  meat  in  the 
idol’s  temple,  shall  not  ’‘the  con- 
science of  him  which  is  weak  be 
® emboldened  to  eat  those  things 
which  are  offered  to  idols; 

11  And  ^through  thy  knowledge 
shall  the  weak  brother  perish,  for 
whom  -Christ  died  % 

12  But  'when  ye  sin  so  against  the 
brethren,  and  wound  their  weak 
conscience,  ye  sin  against  -Christ. 

13  Wherefore,  “if  meat  make  my 
brother  to  offend,  I will  eat  no  flesn 
while  the  world  standeth,  lest  I 
make  my  brother  to  offend.

8 Say  I these  things  as  a man  j or 
saith  not  the  law  the  same  also  % 

9 For  it  is  written  in  the  law  ot

mouth  of  the  ox  that  treadeth  out 
the  corn.  Doth  God  take  care  for 

oxen '?  , 1 ^ 

10  Or  saith  he  it  altogether  for  our 
Bakes'?  For  our  sakes,  no  doubt, 
this  is  written  : that  ^he  that  plow-  *2  Tim.  2.  e. 
eth  should  olow  in  hope ; and  that 
he  that  thr  esheth  in  hope  should  be 
partaker  of  his  hope. 

11  Gf  we  have  sown  unto  you 
spiritual  things,  is  it  a great  thing 
if  we  shall  reap  your  carnal  things? 

12  If  others  be  partakers  of  this 
power  over  you,  are  not  we  rather '? 
"Nevertheless  tve  have  not  used 
this  power;  but  suffer  all  things, 

«lest  we  should  hinder  the  gospel 
of  -Christ.  ^ , 

13  "Do  ye  not  know  that  they 
which  minister  about  holy  things 
Hive  of  the  things  of  the  temple'? 
and  they  which  wait  at  the  altar 
are  partakers  with  the  altar'? 

14  Even  so  ^hath  the  Lord  or- 
dained “that  they  which  preach  the 
gospel  should  live  of  the  gospel. 

15  But  ^I  have  used  none  of  these 
things : neither  have  I written  these 
things,  that  it  should  be  so  done 
unto  me  : for  ^it  were  better  for  me 
to  die,  than  that  any  man  should 
make  my  glorying  void. 

16  For  though  I preach  the  gos- 
pel, I have  nothing  to  glory  of  : for 

necessity  is  laid  upon  me ; yea, 
woe  is  unto  me,  if  I preach  not  the 
gospel! 

17  For  if  I do  this  thing  willingly, 
have  a reward : but  if  against  my 

will,  ^a  dispensation  of  the  gospel  is 
committed  unto  me.

ily that,  ‘when  I preach  the  gospel, 

I may  make  the  gospel  of  -Christ

1 The  sacraments  of  the  Jews  are  types  of  our's,  11  and 
their  punishments  examples  for  us. 

Moreover,  brethren,  I would 
not  that  ye  should  be  igno- 
rant, how  that  all  our  fathers  were 
under  * the  cloud,  and  all  passed 
through  Hhe  sea; 

2 And  were  all  baptized  unto  Mo- 
ses in  the  cloud  and  in  the  sea  ; ^ 

■ 3' And  did  all  eat  the  same  ^spirit- 
ual meat ; , . , , 

4 And  did  all  drink  the  same 
"spiritual  drink : for  they  drank  of 
that  spiritual  Rock  that  Hollowed 
them : and  that  Rock  was  Christ. 
5 But  with  many  of  them  God  was 
not  well  pleased : for  they  " were 
overthrown  in  the  wilderness. 

6 Now  these  things  were  =^our  ex- 
amples, to  the  intent  we  should  not 
lust  after  evil  things,  as  '‘they  also 
lusted. 

7 Neither  be  ye  idolaters,  as  were 
some  of  them;  as  it  is  written,  '•^The 
people  sat  down  to  eat  and  drink, 
and  rose  up  to  play.

you  but  such  as  is  ’^common  to  man :

idol  is  any  thing,  or  that  which 
is  offered  in  sacrifice  to  idols  is  any 
thing '? 

20  But  I say,  that  the  things  which 
the  Gen-tiles  “sacrifice,  they  sacri- 
fice to  devils,  and  not  to  God  : and 
I would  not  that  y;e  should  have 
fellowship  with  devils.

Lord,  and  ^ the  cup  of  devils : ye

23  All  things  are  lawful  for  me, 
but  all  things  are  not  expedient: 
all  things  are  lawful  for  me,  but  all 
things  edify  not. 

24  ’Let  no  man  seek  his  own,  but 
every  man  another’s  wealth. 

25  ’‘Whatsoever  is  sold  in  the  sham- 
bles, that  eat,  asking  no  question

CHAPTEB  11. 

1 Of  covering  the  head  in  prayer.  23  Of  the 
Lord's  supper. 

Be  ‘’ye  followers  of  me,  even  as  I 
also  am  of  -Christ. 

2 Now  I praise  you,  brethren,  that 
ye  remember  me  in  all  things,  and 
keep  the  ^ordinances,  as  I delivered 
them  to  you. 

3 But  I would  have  you  know, 
that  ’the  head  of  every  man  is 
Christ ; and  “ the  head  of  the  wo- 
man is  the  man ; and  ^‘the  head  of 
Christ  is  God. 

4 Every  man  jiraying  or  *prophe- 
sying,  having  his  head  covered,  dis- 
honoureth  his  head. 

5 But  ’’every  woman  that  prayeth 
or  prophesieth  with  her  head  un- 
covered dishonoureth  her  head : for 
that  is  even  all  one  as  if  she  were 
‘’shaven. 

6 For  if  the  woman  be  not  cov- 
ered, let  her  also  be  shorn:  but  if 
it  be  •’^a  shame  for  a woman  to  be 
shorn  or  shaven,  let  her  be  covered. 
7 For  a man  indeed  ought  not  to 
cover  his  head,  forasmuch  as  ’he  is 
the  image  and  glory  of  God:  but 
the  woman  is  the  glory  of  the  man. 
8 For  *the  man  is  not  of  the  wo- 
man ; J3ut  the  woman  of  the  man. 
9 ’"Neither  was  the  man  created 
for  the  woman  ; but  the  woman  for 
the  man. 

10  For  this  cause  ought  the  wo- 
man ^to  have  ® power  on  her  head 
'^because  of  the  angels. 

1 1 Nevertheless  neither  is  the  man 
without  the  woman,  neither  tbe  wo- 
man without  the  man,  in  the  Lord. 

12  For  as  the  woman  is  of  tbe 
man,  even  so  is  the  man  also  by 
the  woman  ; *but  all  things  of  God. 

13  Judge  in  yourselves:  is  it 
comely  that  a woman  pray  unto 
God  uncovered*? 

14  Doth  not  even  nature  itself 
teach  you,  that,  if  a man  have  long 
hair,  it  is  a shame  unto  him  *? 

15  But  if  a woman  bave  long  hair.

it  is  a glory  to  her : for  her  hair  is 
given  her  for  a ^covering. 

16  But  “if  any  man  seem  to  be  con- 
tentious, we  have  no  such  custom, 
^neither  the  churches  of  God. 

17  Now  in  this  that  I declare  unto 
you  I praise  you  not,  that  ye  come 
together  not  for  the  better,  but  for 
the  worse. 

18  For  first  of  all,  when  ye  come 
together  in  the  church,  ‘^I  hear  that 
there  be  ^divisions  among  you  ; and 
I partly  believe  it. 

19  For  -^there  must  be  also  here- 
sies among  you,  ^that  they  which 
are  approved  may  be  made  mani- 
fest among  you. 

20  When  ye  come  together  there- 
fore into  one  place,  ^this  is  not  to 
eat  the  Lord’s  supper. 

21  For  in  eating  every  one  taketh 

before  other  his  own  supper : and 
one  is  hungry,  and  ^ another  is 
drunken.  , , ^ 

22  Whatl  have  ye  not  houses  to 

eat  and  to  drink  in'?  or  despise  ye 
®the  church  of  God,  and  ^ shame 
'^them  that  have  not?  What  shall 
I say  to  you  ? shall  I praise  you  in 
this  ? I praise  you  not.  . , „ 

23  For  *1  have  received  ot  the 
Lord  that  which  also  I delivered 
unto  you,  “That  the  Lord  Je-sus 
the  same  night  in  which  he  was  be 
trayed  took  bread : 

24  And  when  he  had  given  thanks, 

he  brake  it.  and  said.  Take,  eat : 
this  is  my  body,  which  is  broken 
for  you : this  do  ^ in  remembrance 
of  me.  , - , 

25  After  the  same  manner  also  he 
took  the  cup,  when  he  had  supped, 
saying.  This  cup  is  the  new  testa- 
ment in  my  blood:  this  do  ye,  as 
oft  as  ye  drink  it,  in  remembrance 

2  6 For  as  often  as  ye  eat  this  bread, 
and  drink  this  cup,  Ve  do  shew  the 
Lord’s  death  s' till  ne  come. 

27  ^Wherefore  whosoever  shall 
eat  this  bread,  and  drink  this 

of  the  Lord,  unworthily,  shall  be 
juilty  of  the  body  and  blood  of  the 

28  But  “"let  a man  examine  himself, 

and  so  let  him  eat  of  that  bread,  and 
drink  of  that  cup.  ,1.1 

29  For  he  that  eateth  and  drink- 
eth  unworthily,  eateth  and  drmketh 
^damnation  to  himself,  not  discern- 
ing the  Lord’s  body. 

30  For  this  cause  many  are  weak 
and  sickly  among  you,  and  many 
"sleep. 

31  For  *if  we  would  judge  our- 
ptelves,  we  should  not  be  judged. 

32  But  when  we  are  judged,  *we

CHAPTER  12. 

1 Spiritual  gifts  4 are  divers,  7 yet  all  to  profit  withal.  8 
To  that  end,  they  are  diversely  bestowed.  27  Of  the  body 
of  Christ  and  its  members. 

'^OW  '"concerning  spiritual  gifts, 
brethren,  I would  not  have  you 
ignorant.  ^ 

2 Ye  know  "that  ye  were  Gen-tiles, 
carried  away  unto  these  ^‘dumli 
idols,  even  as  ye  were  led. 

3 wherefore  I give  you  to  under- 
stand, “"that  no  man  speaking  by 
the  Spirit  of  God  calleth  J e-sus 
® accursed:  and  ^ that  no  mp  can 
say  that  Je-sus  is  the  Lord,  but  by 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

4 Now  3 there  are  diversities  or 
gifts,  but  ’■the  same  Spirit. 

5 *And  there  are  differences  oi 

^ administrations,  but  the  same 
Lord.  . 

6 And  there  are  diversities  ot 
operations,  but  it  is  the  same  God 
* which  worketh  all  in  all. 

7 2/ But  the  manifestation  of  the 

Spirit  is  given  to  every  man  to 
profit  withal.  o • -i. 

8 For  to  one  is  given  by  the  Spirit 
Hhe  word  of  wisdom;  to  another 
“the  word  of  knowledge  by  the 
same  Spirit;  „ . , , 

9 '’To  another  faith  by  the  same 
Spirit;  to  another  ® the  .gifts  of 
healir^  by  the  same  Spirit;. 

10  "'To  another  the  working  ot 

miracles;  to  another  ^prphecy; 
•^to  another  discerning  of  spirits ; to 
another  ^divers  kinds  of  tongues: 
to  another  the  interpretation  ot 
tongues : , , , , , 

1 1 But  all  these  worketh  that  one 
and  the  selfsame  Spirit,  Mividing 
to  every  man  severally  'as  he  will. 

12  For  “as  the  body  is  one,  ami 
hath  many  members,  and  all  the 
members  of  that  one  body,  bein|? 
many,  are  one  body : ° so  also  is 

"Christ.  . . 1 

13  For  ^by  one  Spirit  are  we  ali 
baptized  into  one  body,  ® whether 
we  be  Jews  or  ^Oen-tiles,  whether 
we  he  bond  or  free ; and  ’"hpe  been 
all  made  to  drink  into  one  Spirit. 

14  For  the  body  is  not  one  mem- 
ber, but  many. 

15  If  i:he  foot  shall  say,  Because  1

am  not  the  hand,  I am  not  of  the 
body ; is  it  therefore  not  of  the 
bodyl 

16  And  if  the  ear  shall  say,  Be- 
cause I am  not  the  eye,  I am  not 
of  the  body ; is  it  therefore  not  of 
the  bodyl 

1 7 If  the  whole  body  were  an  eye, 
where  were  the  hearing?  If  the 
whole  were  hearing,  where  were  the 
smelling  ? 

18  But  now  hath  God  set  the 
members  every  one  of  them  in  the 
body,  ‘^as  it  hath  pleased  him. 

1 9 And  if  they  were  all  one  mem- 
ber, where  were  the  body  % 

20  But  now  are  they  many  mem- 
bers, yet  but  one  body. 

21  And  the  eye  cannot  say  unto 
the  hand,  I have  no  need  of  thee : 
nor  again  the  head  to  the  feet,  I 
have  no  need  of  you. 

22  Nay,  much  more  those  mem- 
bers of  the  body,  which  seem  to  be 
more  feeble,  are  necessary : 

23  And  those  members  of  the  body, 
which  we  think  to  be  less  honour- 
able, upon  these  we  ^bestow  more 
abundant  honour ; and  our  un- 
comely parts  have  more  abundant 
comeliness. 

24  For  our  comely  parts  have  no 
need : but  God  hath  tempered  the 
body  together,  having  given  more 
abundant  honour  to  Xhatpart  which 
lacj?:ed : 

^ 25  That  there  should  be  no  ^schism 
in  the  body ; but  that  the  members 
should  have  the  same  care  one  for 
another. 

26  And  whether  one  member  suf- 
fer, all  the  members  suffer  with  it ; 
or  one  member  be  honoured,  all  the 
members  rejoice  with  it. 

27  Now  ” ye  are  the  body  of  Christ, 
and  "members  in  particular. 

28  And  ^God  hath  set  some  in  the 
church,  first  ^apostles,  secondarily 
’■prophets,  thirdly  teachers,  after 
that  ^miracles,  then  *gifts  of  heal- 
ings, “helps,  "'governments,  '^diver- 
sities of  tongues. 

29  Are  all  apostles?  are  all  pro- 
phets? are  all  teachers?  are  all 
® workers  of  miracles? 

30  Have  all  the  gifts  of  healing? 
do  all  speak  with  tongues?  do  all 
interpret  ? 

31  But  * covet  earnestly  the  best 
gifts : and  yet  shew  I unto  you  a 
more  excellent  way.

2 And  though  I have  the  gift  of 
“prophecy,  and  understand  all 
mysteries,  and  all  knowledge ; and 
though  1 have  all  faith,  *so  that  I 
could  remove  mountains,  and  have 
not  charity,  I am  nothing. 

3 And  "though  I bestow  all  my 

foods  to  feed  the  poor,  and  thougn 
give  my  body  to  be  burned,  and 
have  not  charity,  it  profiteth  me 
nothing. 

4  "Charity  suffereth  long,  and  is 
kind ; charity  envieth  not ; char- 
ity ^vaunteth  not  itself,  is  not 
puffed  up, 

5  Doth  not  behave  itself  unseemly, 
■^seeketh  not  her  own,  is  not  easily

'"rejoiceth  ^in  the  truth; 

7  /Beareth  all  things,  belie veth  all 
things,  hopeth  all  things,  endureth 
all  things. 

8  Charity  never  faileth  : but  whe- 
ther' there  be  prophecies,  they  shall 
fail ; whether  there  be  tongues,  they 
shall  cease ; whether  there  be  knowl- 
edge, it  shall  vanish  away. 

9  *For  we  know  in  part,  and  we 
prophesy  in  part. 

10  But  when  that  which  is  perfect 
is  come,  then  that  which  is  in  part 
shall  be  done  away. 

1 1  When  I was  a child,  I spake  as 
a child,  I understood  as  a child,  I 
® thought  as  a child : but  when  I be- 
came a man,  I put  away  childish 
things. 

12  For  ^now  we  see  through  a 
glass,  ® darkly;  but  then  ’“face  to 
face : now  I know  in  part ; but 
then  shall  I know  even  as  also  I 
am  known. 

13  And  now  abideth  faith,  hope, 
charity,  these  three ; but  the  great- 
est of  these  is  charity.

sire spiritual  gifts,  ^but  rather 
that  ye  may  prophesy. 

2  For  he  that  “speaketh  in  an  un- 
known tongue  speaketh  not  unto 
men,  but  unto  God : for  no  man 
^ understandeth  him;  howbeit  in 
the  spirit  he  speaketh  mysteries. 

3  But  he  that  prophesieth  speaketh 
unto  men  to  edification,  and  exhor- 
tation, and  comfort. 

4  He  that  speaketh  in  an  unknown 
tongue  edifieth  himself ; but  he  that 
prophesieth  edifieth  the  church. 


174 


Prophecy  is  preferred 


1.  CORINTHIANS,  14. 


to  the  gift  of  tongues. 


5 I would  that  ye  all  spake  with 

tongues,  but  rather  that  ye  prophe- 
sied : for  greater  is  he  that  prophe- 
sieth  than  he  that  speaketh  with 
tongues,  except  he  interpret,  that 
the  church  may  receive  edifying. 

6 Now,  brethren,  if  I come  unto 
you  speaking  with  tongues,  what 
shall  I profit  you,  except  1 shall 
speak  to  you  either  by  ‘^revelation, 
or  by  knowledge,  or  by  prophesy- 
ing, or  by  doctrine  1 

7 And  even  things  without  me 
giving  sound,  whether  pipe  or  harp, 
except  they  give  a distinction  in 
the  ^ sounds,  how  shall  it  be  known 
what  is  piped  or  harped '? 

8 For  if  the  trumpet  give  an  un- 
certain sound,  who  shall  prepare 
himself  to  the  battle  1 

9 So  likewise  ye,  except  ye  utter 
by  the  tongue  words  feasy  to  be 
understood,  how  shall  it  be  known 
what  is  spoken  % for  ye  shall  speak 
into  the  air. 

10  There  are,  it  may  be,  so  many 
kinds  of  voices  in  the  world,  and 
none  of  them  is  without  significa- 
tion. 

11  Therefore  if  I know  not  the 
meaning  of  the  voice,  I shall  be 
unto  him  that  speaketh  a barba- 
rian, and  he  that  speaketh  shall  be 
a barbarian  unto  me. 

12  Even  so  ye,  forasmuch  as  ye 
are  zealous  ^of  spiritual  gifts 
that  ye  may  excel  to  the  edifying 
of  the  church. 

1 3 Wherefore  let  him  that  speak- 
eth in  an  unknovm  tongue  pray 
that  he  may  interpret. 

14  For  if  I pray  in  an  un- 
knoivn  tongue,  my  spirit  prayeth, 
but  my  understanding  is  untruit- 

1.5  What  is  it  theni  I will  pray 
with  the  spirit,  and  I will  pray  with 
the  understanding  also:  H v/ill  sing 
with  the  spirit,  and  I will  sing  with 
the  understanding  also.  . 

16  Else  when  thou  shalt  bless  with 
the  spirit,  how  shall  he  that  occu- 
pieth  the  room  of  the  unlearned 
say  A-men'  "at  thy  giving  of  thanks, 
seeing  he  understandeth  not  what 
thou  sayest'? 

17  For  thou  verily  givest  thanks 
well,  but  the  other  is  not  edified. 

18  1 thank  my  God,  I speak  with 
tongues  more  than  ye  all : 

19  Yet  in  the  church  I had  rather 
speak  five  words  with  my  under- 
standing. that  by  my  voice  I might 
teach  others  also,  than  ten  thou- 
sand words  in  an  unknovm  tongue. 

20  Brethren,  *be  not  children  in 
understanding : howbeit  in  malice

21  ''In  the  law  it  is  "written.  With 
men  of  other  tongues  and  other  lips 
will  I speak  unto  this  people:  and 
yet  for  all  that  will  they  not  hear 
me,  saith  the  Lord. 

22  Wherefore  tongues  are  tor  a 

sign,  not  to  them  that  believe,  but 
to  them  that  believe  not : but  pro- 
phesying serveth  not  for  them  that 
believe  not,  but  for  them  which 
believe.  , , , i 

23  If  therefore  the  whole  church 
be  come  together  into  one  place, 
and  all  speak  with  tongues,  and 
there  come  in  those  that  are  un- 
learned, or  unbelievers,  "will  they 
not  say  that  ye  are  mad '? 

24  But  if  all  prophesy,  and  there 
come  in  one  that  believeth  not,  or 
one  unlearned,  he  is  convinced  of 
all,  he  is  judged  of  all : 

25  And  thus  are  the  secrets  ot  his 
heart  made  manifest ; and  so  fall- 
ing down  on  his  face  he  will  wor- 
ship God,  and  report  •''that  God  is 
in  you  of  a truth. 

26  How  is  it  then,  brethren  1 when 
e come  together,  every  one  of  you 

.lath  a psalm,  ^^hath  a doctrine,  hath 
a tongue,  hath  a revelation,  hath 
an  interpretation.  '‘Let  all  things 
be  done  unto  edifying. 

27  If  any  man  speak  in  an  un- 
known tongue,  let  it  be  by  two,  or 
at  the  most  by  three,  and  that  by 
course;  and  let  one  interpret. 

28  But  if  there  be  no  interpreter, 

let  him  keep  silence  in  the  church  • 
and  let  him  speak  to  himself,  and 
to  God.  , , ^ 

29  Let  the  prophets  speak  two  or 
three,  and  Tet  the  other  judge. 

30  If  any  thing  be  revealed  to  an- 
other that  sitteth  by,  Get  the  first 
hold  his  peace. 

31  For  ye  may  all  prophesy  one 
by  one,  that  all  may  learn,  and  all 
may  be  comforted. 

32  And  ”the  spirits  of  the  prophets 
are  subject  to  the  prophets. 

33  For  God  is  not  the  author  ot 
® confusion,  but  of  peace,  ^as  in  all 
churches  of  the  saints. 

34  Let  your  women  keep  silence 
in  the  churches : for  it  is  not  per- 
mitted unto  them  to  speak;  but 

they  are  commanded^  to  be  under 
obedience,  as  also  saith  the  '’law. 

35  And  it  they  will  learn  any  thing, 

let  them  ask  their  husbandsat  home:

out  from  you?  or  came  it  unto  you

CHAPTER  15. 

3 By  Christ's  resurrection,  12  he  proveth  the  necessity  of  owr 
resurrection,  against  all  such  as  deny  the  resurrection  of 
the  body.  35  The  manner  thereof. 

Moreover,  brethren,  I declare 
unto  you  the  gospel  ^ which  I 
preached  unto  you,  which  also  ye 
have  received,  and  ^ wherein  ye 
stand ; 

2  "*By  which  also  ye  are  saved, 
if  ye  ^keep  in  memory  ^what  1 

E reached  unto  you,  unless  "ye  have 
elieved  in  vain. 

3  For  ®I  delivered  unto  you  first 
of  all  that  ’'which  I also  received, 
how  that  -Christ  died  for  our  sins 
* according  to  the  scriptures  • 

4  And  that  he  was  buried.,  and 
that  he  rose  again  the  third  day 
“according  to  the  scriptures: 

5  *And  that  he  was  seen  of  Ce- 
phas, then  ^ of  the  twelve : 

6  After  that,  he  was  seen  of  above 
five  hundred  brethren  at  once ; of 
whom  the  greater  part  remain  unto 
this  present,  but  some  are  fallen 
asleep. 

7  After  that,  he  was  seen  of  James ; 
then  "of  all  the  apostles. 

8  And  last  of  all  he  was  seen  of  me 
alsa  as  of  ^one  born  out  of  due  time. 
9 For  I am  ^the  least  of  the  apos- 
tles, that  am  not  meet  to  be  called 
an  apostle,  because  *I  persecuted 
the  church  of  God. 

10  But  *by  the  grace  of  God  I am 
what  I am : and  his  grace  which 
was  bestowed  upon  me  was  not  in 
vain ; but  * I laboured  more  abun- 
dantly than  they  all : yet  not  I, 
but  the  grace  of  God  which  was 
with  me. 

11  Therefore  whether  it  were  I or 
they,  so  we  preach,  and  so  ye  be- 
lieved. 

12  Now  if  Christ  be  preached  that 
he  rose  from  the  dead,  how  say 
some  among  you  that  there  is  no 
resurrection  of  the  dead? 

13  But  if  there  be  no  resurrec- 
tion of  the  dead,  ’'then  is  Christ 
not  risen : 

14  And  if  Christ  be  not  risen,  then 
our  preaching  vain,  and  your 
faith  is  also  vain.

15  Yea,  and  we  are  found  false 
witnesses  of  God ; because  ^ we  have 
testified  of  God  that  he  raised  up 
Christ:  whom  he  raised  not  up,  if 
so  be  that  the  dead  rise  not. 

16  For  if  the  dead  rise  not,  then 
is  not  Christ  raised : 

17  And  if  Christ  be  not  raised, 
your  faith  is  vain ; ye  are  yet  in 
your  sins. 

18  Then  they  also  which  are  fallen 
asleep  in  Christ  are  perished. 

19  -^If  in  this  life  only  we  have 
hope  in  Christ,  we  are  of  all  men 
most  miserable. 

20  But  now  ^ is  Christ  risen  from 
the  dead,  and  become  ^the  first- 
fruits  of  them  that  slept. 

21  For  * since  by  man  came  death, 
’^by  man  came  also  the  resurrection 
of  the  dead.  „ 

22  For  as  in  Ad-am  all  die,  even  so 
in  Christ  shall  all  be  made  alive. 

23  But  ^ every  man  in  his  own 
order : Christ  the  firstfruits ; after- 
ward they  that  are  Christ’s  at  his 
coming. 

24  Then  cometh  the  end,  when  he 
shall  have  delivered  up  *the  king- 
dom to  God,  even  the  Father ; when 
he  shall  have  put  down  all  rule  and 
aU  authority  and  power. 

25  For  he  must  reign,  ^till  he  hath 
put  all  enemies  under  his  feet. 

26  “The  last  enemy  that  shall  be 
destroyed  is  death. 

27  For  he  ^hath  put  all  things  un- 
der his  feet.  But  when  he  saith  all 
things  are  put  under  him,  it  is  mani- 
fest that  he  is  excepted,  which  did 
put  all  things  under  him. 

28  "And  when  all  things  shall  be 
subdued  unto  him,  then  •''shall  the 
Son  also  himself  he  subject  unto 
him  that  put  all  things  under  him, 
that  God  may  be  all  in  all. 

29  Else  what  shall  they  do  which 
are  baptized  for  the  dead,  if  the 
dead  rise  not  at  all  ? why  are  they 
then  baptized  for  the  dead  ? 

30  And  ^why  stand  we  in  jeopardy 
every  hour? 

31  I protest  by  “yqur^  rejoicing 
which  I have  in  Christ  Je-sus  our 
Lord,  "I  die  daily. 

32  If  ^ after  the  manner  of  men  ^I 
have  fought  with  beasts  at  Eph-6- 
sus,  what  advantageth  it  me,  if 
the  dead  rise  not?  ^let  us  eat  and 
drink ; for  to  morrow  we  die. 

33  Be  not  deceived : evil  communi- 
cations corrupt  g9od  manners. 

34  * Awake  to  righteousness,  and 
sin  not;  Hor  some  have  not  the 
knowledge  of  God:  “I  speak  this 
to  your  shame. 

35  But  some  man  will  say,  *How 


376 


The  manner  of 


I.  COKINTHIANS,  16. 


the  remrrecUon 


are  the  dead  raised  up  ? and  with 
what  body  do  they  come? 

36  Thou  fool,  Hhat  which  thou 
sowest  is  not  quickened,  except 
it  die: 

37  And  that  which  thou  sowest, 
thou  sowest  not  that  body  that 
shall  be,  but  bare  grain,  it  may 
chance  of  wheat,  or  of  some  other 
grain : 

38  But  God  giveth  it  a body  as  it 
hath  pleased  him,  and  to  every  seed 
his  own  body. 

39  All  flesh  is  not  the  same  flesh  : 
but  there  is  one  kind  o/ flesh  of  men, 
another  flesh  of  beasts,  another  of 
fishe^  and  another  of  birds. 

40  There  are  also  celestial  bodies, 
and  bodies  terrestrial : but  the  glory 
of  the  celestial  is  one,  and  the  glory 
of  the  terrestrial  is  another. 

41  There  is  one  glory  of  the  sun. 
and  another  glory  of  the  moon,  and 
another  glory  of  the  stars  : for  one 
star  differetn  from  another  star  in 
glory. 

42  *So  also  is  the  resurrection  of 
the  dead.  It  is  sown  in  corruption ; 
it  is  raised  in  incorruption  : 

43  ’"It  is  sown  m dishonour ; it  is 
raised  in  glory : it  is  sown  in  weak- 
ness ; it  is  raised  in  power  : 

44  It  is  sown  a natural  body ; it 
is  raised  a spiritual  body.  There 
is  a natural  body,  and  there  is  a 
spiritual  body. 

45  And  so  it  is  written.  The  first 
man  Ad-am  ^was  made  a living 
soul;  ,®the  last  Ad-am  was  made 
*a  quickening  spirit. 

46  Howbeit  that  was  not  ^ first 
which  is  spiritual,  but  that  which  is 
natural ; and  afterward  that  which 
is  spiritual. 

47  ‘The  first  man  is  of  the  earth, 
* earthy:  the  second  man  is  the 
Lord  ^'from  heaven.  , 

48  As  is  the  earthy,  such  are 
they  also  that  are  earthy : and  as 
is  the  heavenly,  such  are  they  also 
that  are  heavenly. 

49  And  ‘’as  we  have  borne  the 
image  of  the  earthy,  ^ we  shall  also 
bear  the  image  of  the  heavenly. 

50  Now  this  I say,  brethren,  that 
S’  flesh  and  blood  cannot  inherit  the 
kingdom  of  God  ; neither  doth  cor- 
ruption inherit  incorruption. 

51  Behold,  I shew  you  a mys- 
tery ; *We  shall  not  all  sleep,  ‘but 
we  shall  all  be  changed, 

52  In  a moment,  in  the  twinkling 
of  an  eye,  at  the  last  trump : " for 
the  trumpet  shall  sound,  and  the 
dead  shall  be  raised  incorruptible, 
and  we  shall  be  changed.

lyrOW  concerning  ‘the  collection 
JaI  for  the  saints,  as  I have  given 
order  to  the  churches  of  Ga-la-ti-a, 
even  so  do  ye. 

2 ‘ Upon  the  first  day  of  the  week 
let  every  one  of  you  lay  by  him  in 
store,  as  God  hath  prospered  him, 
that  there  be  no  gatherings  when  I 
come. 

3 And  when  I come,  "whomso- 
ever ye  shall  approve  by  your 
letters,  them  will  1 send  to  bring 
your  ^liberality  unto  Jc-rutsa-lem. 

4 " And  if  it  be  meet  that  I go  also, 
they  shall  go  with  me. 

5 Now  I will  come  unto  you,  ^when 
I shall  pass  through  Ma^-e-do-ni-a : 
for  I do  pass  through  Mag-g-do- 
ni-a. 

6 And  it  may  be  that  I will  abide, 
yea,  and  winter  with  you,  that  ye 
may  “bring  me  on  my  journey 
whithersoever  I go. 

7 For  I will  not  see  you  now  by 
the  way ; but  I trust  to  tarry^  a 
while  with  you,  “if  the  Lord  permit. 

8 But  I will  tarry  at  Eph-6-sus 
until  P6n-te-c5st. 

9 For  ®a  great  door  and  effectual 
is  opened  unto  me,  and  ^ there  are 
many  adversaries. 

10  Now  -‘if  Ti-mo-thg-hs  come,  see 
that  he  may  be  with  you  without 
fear  : for  ^ he  worketh  the  work  of 
the  Lord,  as  I also  do. 

11  ‘Let  no  man  therefore  despise 
him : hut  conduct  him  forth  in 
peace,  that  he  may  come  unto 
me : for  I look  for  him  with  the 
brethren. 

12  As  touching  o\it  brother  A-p6l'

unto  you  with  the  brethren : but 
his  will  was  not  at  all  to  come  at

CHAPTER  1. 

3 The  apostle  encourageth  them  against  troubles. 

12  Of  his  sincere  manner  of  preaching. 

PAUL,  “an  apostle  of  Je-sus 
Christ  by  the  will  of  God,  and 
Tim-5-thy  our  brother,  unto  the 
church  of  God  which  is  at  Cor- 
inth, "with  all  the  saints  which 
are  in  all  A-cha-ia : 

2  "Grace  he  to  you  and  peace 
from  God  our  Father,  and  from 
the  Lord  Je-stis  Christ. 

3  •''Blessed  he  God,  even  the  Fa- 
ther of  our  Lord  Je-sus  Christ,  the 
Father  of  mercies,  and  the  God  of 
all  comfort ; 

4  Who  comforteth  us  in  all  our 
tribulation,  that  we  may  be  able 
to  comfort  them  which  are  in  any 
trouble,  by  the  comfort  wherewith 
we  ourselves  are  comforted  of  God. 
5 For  as  ' the  sufferings  of  Christ 
abound  in  us,  so  our  consolation 
also  aboundeth  by  Christ. 

6  And  whether  we  be  afflicted, 
it  is  for  your  consolation  and 
salvation,  which  ^ is  effectual  in 
the  enduring  of  the  same  suf- 
ferings which  we  also  suffer  : or 
whether  we  be  comforted,  it  is  for 
your  consolation  and  salvation. 

7  And  our  hope  of  you  is  stedfast, 
knowing,  that  ^as  ye  are  partakers 
of  the  sufferings,  so  shall  ye  be  also 
of  the  consolation. 

8  For  we  would  not,  brethren,

which  came  to  us  in  A-si-a,  that 
we  were  pressed  out  of  measure, 
above  strength,  insomuch  that  we 
despaired  even  of  life: 

9 But  we  had  the  ^sentence  of 
death  in  ourselves,  that  we  sh^ld 
^ not  trust  in  ourselves,  but  in  God 
which  raiseth  the  dead : 

10  ‘^Who  delivered  us  from  so 
great  a death,  and  doth  deliver; 
in  whom  we  trust  that  he  will 
yet  deliver  us: 

11  Ye  also  ^helping  together  by 
prayer  for  us,  that  '‘for  the  gift 
bestowed  upon  us  by  the  means  of 
many  persons  thanks  may  be  given 
by  many  on  our  behalf. . 

12  For  our  rejoicing  is  this,  the 

testimony  of  our  conscience,  that 
in  simplicity  and  * godly  sincerity, 
*not  with  fleshly  wisdom,  but  by 
the  grace  of  God,  we  have  had  our 
conversation  in  the  world,  and  more 
abundantly  to  you- ward.  . 

1 3 For  we  write  none  other  things 
unto  you,  than  what  ye  read  or  ac- 
knowledge ; and  I trust  ye  shall 
acknowledge  even  to  the  end ; 

14  As  also  ye  have  acknowledged 
us  in  part,  ” that  we  are  your  re- 
joicing, even  as  " ye  also  are  our  s 
in  the  day  of  the  Lord  J e-sus. 

15  And  in  this  confidence  «1 
was  minded  to  come  unto  you 
before,  that  ye  might  have  ’‘a 
second  ^benefit; 

16  And  to  pass  by  you  into  Ma9-

e-do-m-a,  and  “to  come  again  out 
of  Mag-e-do-ni-a  unto  you,  and  of 
you  to  be  brought  on  my  way 
toward  Ju-dse-a. 

17  When  I therefore  was  thus 
minded,  did  I use  lightness  or  the 
things  that  I purpose,  do  I purpose 
® according  to  the  flesh,  that  with 
me  there  should  be  yea  yea,  and 
nay  nay  I 

18  But  as  God  is  true,  our  ^word 
toward  you  was  not  yea  and  nay. 

19  For  “^the  Son  of  God,  Je-sus 
■Christ,  who  was  preached  among 
you  by  us,  even  by  me  and  Sil-va- 
ntis  and  Ti-mo-the-iis,  was  not  yea 
and  nay,  -^but  in  him  was  yea. 

20  ^For  all  the  promises  of  God 
in  him  are  yea,  and  in  him  A-men', 
unto  the  glory  of  God  by  us. 

21  Now  he  which  stablisheth  us 
with  you  in  Christ,  and  *hath  an- 
ointed us,  is  God ; 

22  Who  *hath  also  sealed  us,  and 
^ given  the  earnest  of  the  Spirit  in 
our  hearts. 

23  Moreover”!  call  God  for  a record 
upon  my  soul,  ^that  to  spare  you  I 
came  not  as  yet  unto  C6r4nth. 

24  Not  for  ®that  we  have  dominion 
over  your  faith,  but  are  helpers  of 
your  joy : for  *by  faith  ye  stand.

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Having  shewed  the  reason  why  he  came  not  to  them,  6 he 
requireth  them  to  forgive  the  excommunicated  person. 
14  The  happy  success  of  his  preaching. 

But  I determined  this  with  my- 
self, ^'that  I would  not  come 
again  to  you  in  heaviness. 

2  For  if  I make  you  sorry,  who 
is  he  then  that  maketh  me  glad, 
but  the  same  which  is  made  sorry 
by  me? 

3  And  I wrote  this  same  unto  you, 
lest,  when  I came,  *I  should  nave 
sorrow  from  them  of  whom  I ought 
to  rejoice ; ‘^having  confidence  in 
you  all,  that  my  joy  is  the  joy  of 
you  all. 

4  For  out  of  much  affliction  and 
anguish  of  heart  I wrote  unto  you 
with  many  tears;  ^not  that  ye 
should  be  grieved,  but  that  ye 
might  know  the  love  which  I have 
more  abundantly  unto  you. 

5  But  ^if  any  have  caused  grief, 
he  hath  not  * grieved  me,  but  in 
part : that  I may  not  overcharge 
you  all. 

6  Sufficient  to  such  a man  is  this 
® punishment,  which  was  inflicted 
”of  many. 

7  ®So  that  contrariwise  ye  ought 
rather  to  forgive  him,  and  comfort 
him,  lest  perhaps  such  a one  should 
be  swallowed  up  with  overmuch 
sorrow.

ye  would  confirm  your  love  toward 
him. 

9 For  to  this  end  also  did  I write, 
that  I might  know  the^  proof  of 
you,  whether  ye  be  * obedient  in  all 
things. 

10  To  whom  ye  forgive  any  thing, 

I forgive  also : for  if  I forgave  any 
thing,  to  whom  I forgave  it,  for 
your  sakes  / it  ‘“^in  the  per- 

son of  -Christ ; 

11  Lest  Sa-tan  should  get  an  ad- 
vantage of  us : for  we  are  not 
ignorant  of  his  devices. 

12  Furthermore,  ^when  I came 
to  Tro-as  to  preach  -Christ’s  gospel, 
and  door  was  opened  unto  me  of 
the  Lord, 

13  G had  no  rest  in  my  spirit, 
because  I found  not  Ti-tus  my 
brother:  but  taking  my  leave  of 
them,  I went  from  thence  into  Mag- 
e-do-ni-a. 

14  Now  thanks  he  unto  God,  which 
alwa,ys  causeth  us  to  triumph  in 
■Christ,  and  maketh  manifest  “the 
savour  of  his  knowledge  by  us  in 
every  place. 

15  For  we  are  unto  God  a sweet 
savour  of  -Christ,  ’'in  them  that  are 
saved,  and  *in  them  that  perish  : 

16  “To  the  one  we  are  the  savour 
of  death  unto  death ; and  to  the 
other  the  savour  of  life  unto  life. 
And  *who  is  sufficient  for  these 
things  ? 

17  For  we  are  not  as  many,  which 
"'corrupt^  the  word  of  God : but  as 
“of  sincerity,  but  as  of  God,  in  the 
sight  of  God  speak  we  ^in  -Christ. 

CHAPTER  8. 

1 He  sheweth  the  faith  and  graces  of  the  Corinthians  to  be  a 

sufficient  commendation  of  his  ministry.  6 A comparison 

of  the  law  and  the  gospel. 

DO  “we  begin  again  to  commend 
ourselves  ? or  need  we,  as  some 
others,  “epistles  of  commendation 
to  you,  or  letters  of  commendation 
from  you  ? ^ 

2 Ye  are  our  epistle  written  in  our 
hearts,  known  and  read  of  all  men  : 
3 Forasmuch  as  ye  are  manifestly 
declared  to  be  the  epistle  of  -Christ 
ministered  by  us,  written  not  with 
ink,  but  with  the  Spirit  of  the  living 
God  ; not  *in  tables  of  stone,  but  4n 
fleshy  tables  of  the  heart. 

4  And  such  trust  have  we  through 
■Christ  to  God- ward  ; 

5  ’“Not  that  we  are  sufficient  of 
ourselves  to  think  any  thing  as  of 
ourselves ; but  ^ our  sufficiency  is 
of  God ;

a vail  over  his  face,  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Is-ra-el  could  not  stedfastly 
look  to  "'the  end  of  that  which  is 
abolished:  ,.11 

14  But  ^ their  minds  were  blinded : 
for  until  this  day  remaineth  the 
same  vail  untaken  away  in  the 
reading  of  the  old  testament ; which 
vail  is  done  away  in  -Christ. 

15  But  even  unto  this  day,  when 
Mo-ses  is  read,  the  vail  is  upon  their 

16  Nevertheless  when  it  shall 

turn  to  the  Lord,  Hhe  vail  shall

17  Now* the  Lord  is  that  Spirit: 
and  where  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
is.  there  is  liberty.

holding J'as  in  a glass  * the  glory  of 
the  Lord,  “are  changed  into  the

Therefore  seeing  we  have  this 
ministry,  *as  we  have  received

things  of  ® dishonesty,  not  walking 
in  craftiness,  -^nor  handling  the

the  glorious  gospel  of  -Christ,  *who 
is  the  image  of  God,  should  shine 
unto  them. 

5 For  we  preach  not  ourselves,  but 
Christ  Je-stis  the  Lord;_and  ‘*our- 
selves  your  servants  for  Je-sus’  sake. 

6 For  God,  ® who  commanded  the 
light  to  shine  out  of  darkness,  ^hath 
-^shined  in  our  hearts,  to  give  the 
light  of  the  knowledge  of  the  glory 
of  God  in  the  face  of  Je-stis  Christ. 

7 But  we  have  this  treasure  in 
earthen  vessels,  ^that  the  excellency 
of  the  power  may  be  of  God,  and 
not  of  us. 

8 We  are  troubled  on  every  side, 
yet  not  distressed ; we  are  per- 
plexed, but  ^not  in  despair ; 

9 Persecuted,  but  not  forsaken; 
cast  down,  but  not  destroyed ; 

10  Always  bearing  about  in  the 
body  the  dying  of  the  Lord  J e'§us, 
'that  the  life  also  of  Je-stis  might 
be  made  manifest  in  our  body. 

1 1 For  we  which  live  ”are  alway  de- 
livered unto  death  for  Je-stis’  sake, 
that  the  life  also  of  Je-stis  might  be 
made  manifest  in  our  mortal  flesh. 

12  So  then  death  worketh  in  us, 
but  life  in  you. 

13  We  having  « the  same  spirit 

of  faith,  according  as  it  is  written, 
’’I  believed,  and  therefore  have  I 
spoken ; we  also  believe,  and  there- 
fore speak ; . . , 

14  Knowing  that  *he  which  raised 
up  the  Lord  Je-stis  shall  raise  up  us 
also  by  Je-stis,  and  shall  present  us 
with  you. 

15  For  “all  things  are  for  your 
sakes,  that  the  abundant  grace 
might  through  the  thanksgiving 
of  many  redound  to  the  glory  of 
God. 

1 6 For  which  cause  we  faint  not ; 
but  though  our  outward  man  perish, 
yet  *the  inward  man  is  renewed 
day  by  day. 

17  For  "our  light  affliction,  which 
is  but  for  a moment,  worketh  for 
us  a far  more  exceeding  and  eter- 
nal weight  of  glory; 

18  ‘'While  we  look  not  at  the 
things  which  are  seen,  but  at  the 
things  which  are  not  seen : for  the 
things  which  are  seen  are  temporal ; 
but  the  things  which  are  not  seen 
are  eternal. 

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Paul,  in  his  assured  hope  of  immortal  glory,  9 laboureth 
to  keep  a good  conscience,  18  and  by  his  ministry  to  re- 
concile others  also  in  Christ  to  God. 

For  we  know  that  if  *our  earthly 
house  of  this  tabernacle  were 
dissolved,  we  have  a building  of 
God,  an  house  not  made  with  hands, 
eternal  in  the  heavens.

Of  immortal  glory.  II.  COEINTHIANS,  6.  FanV&  faithful  ministry. 


2 For  in  this  ®we  groan,  earnestly 

desiring  to  be  clothed  upon  with 
our  house  which  is  from  heaven: 

3 If  so  be  that  "being  clothed  we 
shall  not  be  found  naked. 

4 For  we  that  are  in  this  taber- 
nacle do  groan,  being  burdened : not 
for  that  we  would  be  unclothed, 
but  "clothed  upon,  that  mortality 
might  be  swallowed  up  of  life. 

5 Now  ^ he  that  hath  wrought 
us  for  the  selfsarne  thing  is  God, 
who  also  ^hath  given  unto  us  the 
earnest  of  the  Spirit. 

6 Therefore  we  are  always  confi- 
dent, knowing  that,  whilst  we  are 
at  home  in  the  body,  we  are  absent 
from  the  Lord : 

7 (For  ^we  walk  by  faith,  not  by 
sight :) 

8 We  are  confident,  I say^  and 
” willing  rather  to  be  absent  from 
the  body,  and  to  be  present  with 
the  Lord. 

9 Wherefore  we  ^labour,  that, 
whether  present  or  absent,  we  may 
be  accepted  of  him. 

10  f For  we  must  all  ^pear  before 
the  judgment  seat  of  -Ghrist ; ''that 
every  one  may  receive  the  things 
done  in  his  body,  according  to  that 
he  hath  done,  whether  it  be  good 
or  bad. 

11  Knowing  therefore  “the  terror 
of  the  Lord,  we  persuade  men ; but 
"'we  are  made  manifest  unto  God; 
and  I trust  also  are  made  manifest 
in  your  consciences. 

12  For^we  commend  not  ourselves 
again  unto  you,  but  give  you  occa- 
sion “to  glory  on  our  behalf,  that 
ye  may  have  somewhat  to  answer 
them  which  glory  ®in  appearance, 
and  not  in  heart. 

13  For  "whether  we  be  beside  our- 
selves, it  is  to  God : or  whether  we 
be  sober,  it  is  for  your  cause. 

14  For  the  love  of  -Ghrist  con- 
straineth  us ; because  we  thus  judge, 
that  ^if  one  died  for  all,  then  were 
all  dead : 

1 5 And  that  he  died  for  all,  ^ that 
they  which  live  should  not  hence- 
forth live  unto  themselves,  but  unto 
him  which  died  for  them,  and  rose 
again. 

16  * Wherefore  henceforth  know 
we  no  man  after  the  flesh : yea, 
though  we  have  known  Ghrist 
after  the  flesh,  “yet  now  henceforth 
know  we  him  no  more. 

17  Therefore  if  any  man  ^be  in 
Ghrist,  ^he  is  ^a  new  creature  : ^old 
things  are  passed  away ; behold,  all 
things  are  become  new. 

18  And  all  things  are  of  God, 
“who  hath  reconciled  us  to  himself

to  avoid  idolaters,  as  being  themselves  temples  of  Uod. 

WE  then,  as  "“workers  together 
with  him,  beseech  you  also 
"that  ye  receive  not  the  grace  of 
God  in  vain. 

2 (For  he  saith,  ^I  have  heard  thee 
in  a time  accepted,  and  in  the  day 
of  salvation  have  I succoured  thee  ; 
behold,  now  is  the  accepted  time ;

holiness  in  the  fear  of  God. 

2  Receive  us;  we  have  wronged 
no  man,  we  have  corrupted  no  man, 

*we  have  defrauded  no  man.

tribulation. 

5  For,  ’"when  we  were  come  into 
Mac-e-do-ni-a,  our  flesh  had  no 
rest,  but  *we  were  troubled  on 
every  side ; * without  were  fight- 
ings, within  were  fears. 

6  Nevertheless  “God,  that  com- 
forteth  those  that  are  cast  down, 
comforted  us  by  *the  coming  of 
Ti-tus ; 

7  And  not  by  his  coming  only, 
but  by  the  consolation  wherewith 
he  was  comforted  in  you,  when  he 
told  us  your  earnest  desire,  your 
mourning,  your  fervent  inind  to- 
ward me ; so  that  I rejoiced  the 
more.

with  a letter,  I do  not  repent, 
“though  I did  repent:  for  I per- 
ceive that  the  same  epistle  hath 
made  you  sorry,  though  it  were  but

world  worketh  death. 

1 1 For  behold  this  selfsame  thing, 
that  ye  sorrowed  after  a godly  sort, 
what  carefulness  it  wrought  in  you, 
yea,  what  clearing  of  yourselves, 
yea,  what  indignation,  yea,  what 
fear,  yea,  what  vehement  desire, 
yea,  what  zeal,  yea,  what  revenge ! 
In  all  things  ye  have  approved 
yourselves  to  be  clear  in  this  matter.

you,  / did  it  not  for  his  cause  that

cause  that  suflered  wrong,  ^ but  mat

13  Therefore  we  were  comforted 
in  your  comfort : yea,  and  exceed- 
ingly the  more  joyed  we  for  the  joy 
of  Ti-tiis,  because  his  spirit  *was 
refreshed  by  you  all. 

14  For  if  I have  boasted  any  thing 
to  him  of  you,  I am  not  ashamed ; 
but  as  we  spake  all  things  to  you  in 
truth,  even  so  our  boasting,  which 
I made  before  Ti-ttis,  is  found  a

1 He  stirreth  them  up  to  a liberal  contribution  for  the  poor 
saints  at  Jerusalem,  by  the  example  of  the  Macedonian, 

9 and  by  the  example  of  Christ.  16  He  commendeth  to 
them  Titus  and  others. 

OREOVER,  brethren, we  do  you 
to  wit  of  the  grace  of  God  be- 
stowed on  the  churches  of  Ma9-e- 

do-ni-a;  , ^ i a & 

2 How  that  in  a great  trial  pi  af- 
fliction the  abundance  of  their  joy 
and  2/ their  deep  poverty  abounded 
unto  the  riches  of  their  Hiberahty. 

3 For  to  their  power,  I Dear  re- 
cord, yea,  and  beyond  their  power 
they  were  willing  of  thernselves ; 

4 Praying  us  with  much  intreaty 
that  we  would  receive  the  gift,  and 
take  upon  us  Hhe  fellowship  ot  the 
ministering  to  the  saints. 

5 And  this  they  did,  not  . as  we 

hoped,  but  first  gave  their  own 
selves  to  the  Lord,  and  unto  us  by 
the  will  of  God.  i • j m-/ 

6 Insomuch  that  ^we  desired  ii- 
tus,  that  as  he  had  begun,  so  he 
would  also  finish  in  you  the  same 
I ^ grace  also, 


M' 


Of  liberality.  II.  CORINTHIANS,  9.  Of  almsgiving. 


7  Therefore,  as  “ye  abound  in  every 
thing,  in  faith,  and  utterance,  ana 
knowledge,  and  in  all  diligence, 
and  in  your  love  to  us,  see  *that 
ye  abound  in  this  grace  also. 

S'*!  speak  not  by  commandment, 
but  by  occasion  of  the  forwardness 
of  others,  and  to  prove  the  sincerity 
of  your  love. 

9 For  ye  know  the  grace  of  our 
Lord  Je^us  Christ,  -^that,  though 
he  was  rich,  yet  for  your  sakes  he 
became  poor,  that  ye  through  his 
poverty  might  be  rich. 

10  And  herein  ^ I give  my  advice : 
for  Hhis  is  expedient  for  you,  who 
have  begun  before,  not  only  to  do, 
but  also  to  be  * forward  ^ a year  ago. 

11  Now  therefore  perform  the 
doing  of  it;  that  as  there  was  a 
readiness  to  will,  so  there  may 
he  a performance  also  out  of  that 
which  ye  have. 

12  For  "if  there  be  first  a willing 
mind,  it  is  accepted  according  to 
that  a man  hath,  and  not  accord- 
ing to  that  he  hath  not. 

13  For  / mean  not  that  other  men 
be  eased,  and  ye  burdened  : 

14  But  by  an  equality,  that  now 
at  this  time  your  abundance  may  he 
a supply  for  their  want,  that  their 
abundance  also  may  be  a supply 
for  y9ur  want : that  there  may  be 
equality : 

15  As  it  is  written,  ^He  that  had 
gathered  much  had  nothing  over  * 
and  he  that  had  gathered  little  had 
no  lack. 

16  But  thanks  he  to  God,  which 
put  the  same  earnest  care  into  the 
heart  of  Ti-tus  for  you. 

17  For  indeed  he  accepted  *the 
exhortation  ; but  being  more  for- 
ward, of  his  own  accord  he  went 
unto  you. 

18  And  we  have  sent  with  him 
“ the  brother,  whose  praise  is  in  the 
gospel  throughout  all  the  churches  ; 

19  And  not  that  only,  but  who 
was  also  ^chosen  of  tne  churches 
to  travel  with  us  with  this  '^grace, 
which  is  administered  by  us  “to 
the  glory  of  the  same  Lord,  and 
declaration  of  your  ready  mind : 

20  Avoiding  this,  that  no  man 
should  blame  us  in  this  abundance 
which  is  administered  by  us  : 

21  ^Providing  for  honest  things, 
not  only  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
but  also  in  the  sight  of  men. 

22  And  we  have  sent  with  them 
our  brother,  whom  we  have  often- 
tirnes  proved  diligent  in  many 
things,  but  now  much  more  dili- 
gent, upon  the  great  confidence 
which  ’/  have  in  you.

CHAPTER  9. 

1 The  reason  why  he  sent  Titus  and  his  brethren  beforehand. 
6 Be  stirreth  them  up  to  a bountiful  alms,  as  being  but  a 
kind  of  sowing  of  seed. 

For  as  touching  Hhe  ministering 
to  the  saints,  it  is  superfluous 
for  me  to  write  to  you : 

2  For  I know  Hhe  forwardness  of 
your  mind,  "“for  which  I boast  of 
you  to  them  of  Ma9-e-do-ni-a,  that 
“A-cha-ia  was  ready  a year  ago ; 
and  your  zeal  hath  provoked  very 
many. 

3  ^Yet  have  I sent  the  brethren, 
lest  our  boasting  of  you  should  be 
in  vain  in  this  behalf ; that,  as  I 
said,  ye  may  be  ready: 

4  Lest  haply  if  they  of  Ma9-e-do- 
ni-a  come  with  me,  and  find  you  un- 
prepared, we  (that  we  say  not,  ye) 
should  be  ashamed  in  this  same 
confident  boasting. 

5  Therefore  I thought  it  necessary 
to  exhort  the  brethren,  that  they 
would  go  before  unto  you,  and 
make  up  beforehand  your  ^ bounty, 
^ whereof  ye  had  notice  before,  that 
the  same  might  be  ready,  as  a 
\ matter  of  bounty,  and  not  as  of 
covetousness. 

6  "■  But  this  I say.  He  which  soweth 
sparingly  shall  reap  also  sparingly ; 
and  he  which  soweth  bountifully 
shall  reap  also  bountifully. 

7  Every  man  according  as  he  iDur- 
poseth  in  his  heart,  so  let  him  give  ; 

* not  grudgingly,  or  of  necessity : for 
* God  loveth  a cheerful  giver. 

8  ^And  God  is  able  to  make  all 
grace  abound  toward  you  ; that  ye, 
always  having  all  sufficiency  in  all 
things,  may  abound  to  every  good 
work : 

9  (As  it  is  written,  *He  hath  dis- 
persed abroad ; he  hath  given  to 
the  poor : his  righteousness  remain- 
eth  for  ever. 

10  Now  he  that ‘'ministereth  seed 
to  the  sower  both  minister  bread 
for  your  food,  and  multiply  your 
seed  sown,  and  increase  the  fruits 
of  your  ® righteousness  ;)

to  all  bountifulness,  {which  caus-

unto  God;  • . £ 

13  Whiles  by  the  experiment  ot 

this  ministration  they  “glorify  God 
for  your  professed  subjection  unto 
the  gospel  of  €hrist,  and  for  your 
liberal  * distribution  unto  them,  and  ^ Heb.  1.3.  le. 
unto  all  7nen ; ' 

14  And  by  their  prayer  for  you, 
which  long  after  you  for  the  ex- 
ceeding ‘'grace  of  God  in  you. 

15  Thanks  be  unto  God  ‘^for  his 
unspeakable  gift. 

CHAPTER  10. 

1 He  settetJi  out  the  sjnritaal  might  and  authority  with  y jg  20. 

which  he  is  armed  against  all  ailversary^  powers,  12  wMi- 
al  taxing  them  for  reaching  out  themselves  beyond  their 
compass,  and  vaunting  themselves  in  other  men's  labours. 

IVTOW  ^I  Paul  myself  beseech  you 
TM  by  the  meekness  and  gentleness 
of  -Christ,  '‘who  Gn  presence  am 
base  among  you,  but  being  absent 
am  bold  toward  you : . , _ 

2 But  I beseech  you,  *that  1 may 
not  be  bold  when  I am  present  with 
that  confidence,  wherewith  I think 
to  be  bold  against  some,  which 

think  of  us  as  if  we  walked  ac- 
cording to  the  flesh. 

3 For  though  we  walk  in  the  nesn, 
we  do  not  war  after  the  flesh : 

4 CFor  the  weapons  “of  our  war- 

fare are  not  carnal,  but  mighty 
Hhrough  God  «to  the  pulling  down 
of  strong  holds  ;)  . , • 

5 ^Casting  down  ® imagination^ 
and  every  high  thing  that  exalteth 
itself  against  the  knowledge  of  God, 
and  bringing  into  captivity  every 
thought  to  the  obedience  of  Christ ; 

6 ^And  having  in  a readiness  to 
revenge  all  disobedience,  when 
*your  obedience  is  fulfilled. 

7 * Do  ye  look  on  things  after  the 
outward  appearance  % ^ H ^y  man 
trust  to  himself  that  he  is  Christ  s, 
let  him  of  himself  think  this  again, 
that,  as  he  is  Christ’s,  even  so  are 
“ we  Christ’s. 

8 For  though  I should  boast  some- 
what more  -^of  our  authority,  which 
the  Lord  hath  given  us  for  edifica- 
tion, and  not  for  your  destruction, 

^ I should  not  be  ashamed  : 

9 That  I may  not  seem  as  if  I 
would  terrify  you  by  letters. 

10  For  his  letters,  ^say  they,  are 
weighty  and  powerful ; but  ^ rms 
bodily  presence  is  weak,  and  h%s 
” speech  contemptible. 

1 1 Let  such  an  one  think  this,  that, 
such  as  we  are  in  word  by  letters 
when  we  are  absent,  such  will  we  be 
also  in  deed  when  we  are  present. 

1 2 For  we  dare  not  make  ourselves

with  some  that  commend  them- 

selves: but  they  measuring  them- 
selves by  themselves, and  comparing 
themselves  among  themselves,  ^ are 
not  wise. 

13  But  we  will  not  boast  of  things 
without  our  measure,  but  according 
to  the  measure  of  the  ^rule  which 
God  hath  distributed  to  us,  a meas- 
ure to  reach  even  unto  you. 

14  For  we  stretch  not  ourselves 

beyond  our  measure,  as  though  we 
reached  not  unto  you;  “for  we  are 
come  as  far  as  to  you  also  in  preach- 
ing the  gospel  of  -Ghrist : . 

15  Not  boasting  of  things  with- 
out our  measure,  that  7s, /of  other 
men’s  labours  ; but  having  hope, 
when  your  faith  is  increased,  that 
we  shall  be  ^enlarged  by  you  ac- 
cording to  our  rule  abundantly, 

16  To  preach  the  gospel  in  the 
regions  beyond  you,  and  not  to 
boast  in  another  man’s  Hine  of 
things  made  ready  to  our  hand. 

17  ''But  he  that  glorieth,  let  him 
glory  in  the  Lord. 

18  For  'not  he  that  commendeth 
himself  is  approved,  but  "‘whom 
the  Lord  commendeth. 

CHAPTER  11. 

1 Paul  entereth  into  a forced  commendation  of  himself, 
and  of  his  preaching.  23  He  reeounteth  his  sufferings 
for  the  gospel. 

WOULD  to  God  ye  could  bear 
with  me  a little  in  my  folly : 
and  indeed  ^bear  with  me. 

2 For  I am  “jealous  over  you 
with  godly  jealousy:  for  H have 
espoused  you  to  one  husband, 
“that  I may  present  you  ^as  a 
chaste  virgin  to  -Christ. 

3 But  I fear,  lest  by  any  means,  as 
“the  serpent  beguiled  Eve  through 
his  subtilty,  so  your  minds  “should 
be  corrupted  from  the  simplicity 
that  is  in  Uhrlst. 

4 For  if  he  that  cometh  preacheth 
another  Je-siis,  whom  we  have  not 
preached,  or  if  ye  receive  another 
spirit,  which  ye  have  not  received, 
or  ^'another  gospel,  which  ye  have 
not  accepted,  ye  might  well  bear 
^with  him.  , . 

5 For  I suppose  H was  not  a whit 
behind  the  very  chief est  apostles. 

6 But  though  ^ I be  rude  in  speech, 
yet  not  'in  knowledge;  but  we  have 
been  throughly  made  manifest  a- 
mong  you  in  all  things. 

7 Have  I committed  an  onence  in 
abasing  myself  that  ye  might  be 
exalted  because  I have  preached 
to  you  the  gospel  of  God  freeH  t 
8 I robbed  other  churches,  taking 
wages  of  them,  to  do  you  service. 

9 And  when  I was  .present  with

you,  and  wanted,  “I  was  chargeable 
to  no  man:  for  that  which  was 
lacking  to  me  ‘'the  brethren  which 
came  from  Mag-e-do-m-a  supplied  : 
and  in  all  things  I have  kept  my- 
self ‘^from  being  burdensome  unto 
you,  and  so  will  I keep  myself. 

10  ^As  the  truth  of  €hrist  is  in 
me,  '^no^  man  shall  stop  me  of  this 
boasting  in  the  regions  of  A-cha-ia. 

11  Wherefore  1 * because  I love 
you  not'?  God  knoweth. 

12  But  what  I do,  that  I will  do, 
’^that  I may  cut  off  occasion  from 
them  which  desire  occasion;  that 
wherein  they  glory,  they  may  be 
found  even  as  we. 

13  For  such  °are  false  apostles,  ^de- 
ceitful workers,  transforming  them- 
selves into  the  apostles  of  -Christ. 

14  And  no  marvel;  for  Sa-tan 
himself  is  transformed  into  *an 
angel  of  light. 

15  Therefore  it  is  no  great  thing 
if  his  ministers  also  be  transformed 
as  the  ministers  of  righteousness ; 
“whose  end  shall  be  according  to 
their  works. 

16  1 say  again.  Let  no  man  think 
me  a fool ; if  otherwise,  yet  as  a 
fool  ‘“^receive  me,  that  I may  boast 
myself  a little. 

17  That  which  I speak,  *I  speak 
it  not  after  the  Lord,  but  as  it 
were  foolishly,  in  this  confidence 
of  boasting. 

18  Seeing  that  many  glory  after 
the  flesh,  I will  glory  also. 

1 9 For  ye  suffer  fools  gladly, 
“seeing  ye  yourselves  are  vdse. 

20  For  ye  suffer,  Hf  a man  bring 
you  into  bondage,  if  a man  devour 
you,  if  a man  take  of  you,  if  a man 
exalt  himself,  if  a man  smite  you 
on  the  face. 

211  speak  as  concerning  reproach, 
“^as  though  we  bad  been  weak.  How- 
beit  ® whereinsoever  any  is  bold,  (I 
speak  foolishly,)  I an^bold  also. 

22  Are  they  lie-brews'?  ^so  am  I. 
Are  they  I§-ra-el-itesJ  so  am  I.  Are

CHAPTER  12. 

1 For  commending  of  his  apostleship,  though  he  might  glory 

of  his  wonderful  revelations,  9 yet  he  rather  chooseth  to 

glory  of  his  infirmities,  11  blaming  them  for  forcing  him 

to  this  vain  boasting. 

IT  is  not  expedient  for  me  doubt- 
less to  glory.  ^I  will  come  to 
visions  and  revelations  of  the  Lord. 

2  I knew  a man  *in  -Christ  above 
fourteen  years  ago,  (whether  in  the 
body,  I cannot  tell ; or  whether  out 
of  the  body,  I cannot  tell : God 
knoweth ;)  such  an  one  "caught  up 
to  the  third  heaven. 

3  And  I knew  such  a man,  (whe- 
ther in  the  body,  or  out  of  the  body, 
I cannot  tell : God  knoweth  ;) 

4  How  that  he  was  caught  up  into 
•^paradise,  and  heard  unspeakable 
words,  which  it  is  not  ^lawful  for 
a man  to  utter. 

5  Of  such  an  one  will  I glory : '^yet 
of  myself  I will  not  glory,  but  in 
mine  infirmities. 

6  For  though  I would  desire  to 
glory,  I shall  not  be  a fool ; for  1 
will  say  the  truth : but  now  I for- 
bear, lest  any  man  should  think  of 
me  above  that  which  he  seeth  me 
to  he,  or  that  he  heareth  of  me. 

7  And  lest  I should  be  exalted 
above  measure  through  the  abun- 
dance of  the  revelations,  there  was 
given  to  me  a ’’thorn  in  the  flesh, 
"the  messenger  of  Sa-tan  to  buffet 
me,  lest  I should  be  exalted  above 
measure. 

8  “For  this  thing  I besought  the 


18.5 


Paul's  apostleship. 


II.  CORINTHIANS,  13. 


Of  obstinate  sinners. 


Lord  thrice,  that  it  might  depart 
from  me. 

9 And  he  said  unto  me.  My  grace  is 
sufficient  for  thee : for  my  strength 
is  made  perfect  in  weakness.  Most 
gladly  therefore  will  I rather  glory 
in  my  infirmities,  *that  the  power 
of  -Christ  may  rest  upon  me. 

10  Therefore  take  pleasure  in 
infirmities,  in  reproaches,  in  neces- 
sities, in  persecutions,  in  distresses 
for  -Christ’s  sake : -^for  when  I am 
weak,  then  am  I strong. 

11  I am  become  *a  fool  in  glory- 
ing ; ye  have  compelled  me : for  I 
ought  to  have  been  commended  of 
you : for  *in  nothing  am  I behind 
the  very  chiefest  apostles,  though 
’"I  be  nothing. 

12  ” Truly  the  signs  of  an  apostle 
were  wrought  among  you  in  all 
patience,  in  signs,  and  wonders,  and 
mighty  deeds. 

13  ’■For  what  is  it  wherein  ye 
were  inferior  to  other  churches, 
except  it  be  that  M myself  w^® 
not  burdensome  to  youl  forgive 
me  “this  wrong. 

14  * Behold,  the  third  time  I am 
ready  to  come  to  you ; and  I will 
not  be  burdensome  to  you : for  M 
seek  not  your’s,  but  you : “for  the 
children  ought  not  to  lay  up  for 
the  parents,  but  the  parents  for 
the  children. 

15  And  *^1  will  very  gladly  spend 
and  be  spent  ®for  ^you  ; though  the 
more  abundantly  I love  you,  the 
less  I be  loved. 

16  But  be  it  so,  did  not  burden 
you : nevertheless,  being  crafty,  I 
caught  you  with  guile. 

17  Did  I make  a gain  of  you  by 
any  of  them  whom  I sent  unto 

yonl  .17. 

18  H desired  Ti-tus,  and  with  him 
I sent  a * brother.  Did  Ti-tus  make 
a gain  of  you  ! walked  we  not  in 
the  same  spirit*?  vjolked  we  not  in 
the  same  steps'? 

19  ’“Again,  think  ye  that  we 
excuse  ourselves  unto  youl  ”we 
speak  before  God  in  -Christ : "but 
we  do  all  things,  dearly  beloved, 
for  your  edifying. 

20  For  I fear,  lest,  when  I come,  I 
shall  not  find  you  such  as  I would, 
and  that  H shall  be  found  unto  you 
such  as  ye  would  not : lest  there  be 
debates,  envyings,  wraths,  strifes, 
backbitings,  whisperings,  swellings, 
tumults : 

21  And  lest,  when  I come  again, 
my  God  *will  humble  me  among 
you,  and  that  I shall  bewail  many 
S' which  have  sinned  already,  and

CHAPTER  13. 

1 He  threateneth  severity  against  obstinate  sinners:  11 
concludeth  with  general  exhortation  and  prayer. 

This  is  "the  third  time  I am 
coming  to  you.  "In  the  mouth 
of  two  or  three  witnesses  shall 
every  word  be  established. 

2  told  you  before,  and  fore- 
tell you,  as  if  I were  present,  the 
second  time ; and  being  absent 
now  I write  to  them  ’which  here- 
tofore have  sinned,  and  to  all 
other,  that,  if  I come  again,  G 
will  not  spare: 

3  Since  ye  seek  a proof  of  -Christ 
"speaking  in  me,  which  to  you- 
ward is  not  weak,  but  is  mighty 
^in  you. 

4  «For  though  he  was  crucified 
through  weakness,  yet  ffie  liveth 
by  the  power  of  God.  For  we  also 
are  weak  Mn  him,  but  we  shall  live 
with  him  by  the  power  of  God  to- 
ward you. 

5  ^Examine  yourselves,  whether 
ye  be  in  the  faith ; prove  your  own 
selves.  Know  ye  not  your  own 
selves,  *how  that  Je-stis  -Christ  is 
in  you,  except  ye  be  "reprobates'? 

6  But  I trust  that  ye  shall  know 
that  we  are  not  reprobates. 

7  Now  I pray  to  God  that  ye  do 
no  evil ; not  that  we  should  appear 
approved,  but  that  ye  should  do 
that  which  is  honest,  though  we  be 
as  reprobates. 

8  For  we  can  do  nothing  against 
the  truth,  but  for  the  truth. 

9  For  we  are  glad,  ^ when  we  are 
weak,  and  ye  are  strong : and  this 
also  we  wish,  ^even  your  perfection. 

10  * Therefore  I write  these  things 
being  absent,  lest  being  present  I 
should  use  sharpness,  according  to 
the  power  which  the  Lord  hath 

given  me  to  edification,  and  not  to 
estruction. 

1 1  Finally,  brethren,  farewell.  Be 
perfect,  be  of  good  comfort,  ^be  of 
one  mind,  live  in  peace ; and  the 
God  of  love  *^and  peace  shall  be 
with  you. 

12  ’’Greet  one  another  with  an 
holy  kiss. 

13  All  the  saints  salute  you. 

14  *The  grace  of  the  Lord  Je-siis 
•Christ,  and  the  love  of  God,  and 
“the  communion  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
be  with  you  all.  A-m6n'. 

^ The  second  epistle  to  the  Co-rln-thl-ins  was 
written  from  Phl-llp^pi,  a city  of  Ma9-6-doi 
nl-a,  by  Ti-tus  and  Lu^Ss.

TO  THE 


Gl-LATIANS. 

• 


CHAPTER  1. 

6 Ee  vmndereth  that  they  have  so  soon  left  the  truth,  8 and 
accurseth  those  that  preach  any  other  gospel. 

PAUL,  an  apostle,  (not  of  men, 
’neither  by  man,  but  ® by  J e-sus 
■Christ,  and  (jod  the  Father,  ®who 
raised  him  from  the  dead;) 

2  And  all  the  brethren  which 
are  with  me,  '^unto  the  churches 
of  Ga-la-ti-a: 

3  * Grace  be  to  you  and  peace  from 
God  the  Father,  and /rom  our  Lord 
Je-stis  Christ, 

4  ^Who  gave  himself  for  our  sins, 
that  he  might  deliver  us  ""from  this 
present  evil  world,  according  to  the 
will  of  God  and  our  Father : 

5  To  whom  be  glory  for  ever  and 
ever.  A-men'. 

6  I marvel  that  ye  are  so  soon 
removed  ®from  him  that  called  you 
into  the  grace  of  Christ  unto  an- 
other gospel : 

7  *Whicn  is  not  another;  but 
there  be  some  *that  trouble  you, 
and  would  pervert  the  gospel  of 
Christ. 

8  But  though  ^we,  or  an  angel 
from  heaven,  preach  any  other 
gospel  unto  you  than  that  which 
we  have  preached  unto  you,  let 
him  be  accursed. 

9  As  we  said  before,  so  say  I now 
again.  If  any  man  preach  any  other 
gospel  unto  you  *than  that  ye  have 
received,  let  him  be  accursed. 

10  For  ^do  I now  ^persuade  men, 
or  Godi  or  do  I seek  to  please  men  1 
for  if  I yet  pleased  men,  I should 
not  be  the  servant  of  Christ. 

11  ®But  I certify  you,  brethren, 
that  the  gospel  which  was  preached 
of  me  is  not  after  man. 

12  For  fl  neither  received  it  of 
man,  neither  was  I taught  it, 
but  *by  the  revelation  of  Je-sus 
■Christ. 

13  Fot  ye  have  heard  of  my  con- 
versation in  time  past  in  the  Jews’ 
religion,  how  that  * beyond  measure 
I persecuted  the  church  of  God, 
and  wasted  it : 

14  And  profited  in  the  J^s’  re- 
ligion above  many  my  ^equals  in 
mine  own  nation,  ^being  more  ex- 
ceedingly zealous  ®of  the  traditions 
of  my  fathers.

15  But  when  it  pleased  God,  ®who 
separated  me  from  my  mother’s 
womb,  and  called  me  by  his  grace, 

16  *’To  reveal  his  Son  in  me,  that 
**1  might  preach  him  among  the 
heathen;  immediately  I conferred 
not  with  -^flesh  and  blood : 

17  Neither  went  I up  to  JAru-sa- 
lem  to  them  which  were  apostles 
before  me;  but  I went  into  A-ra- 
bi-a,  and  returned  again  unto  Da- 
mas-cus. 

18  Then  after  three  years  ^I  ^went 
up  to  Je-ru-sa-l6m  to  see  Pe-ter,  and 
abode  with  him  fifteen  days. 

19  But  ” other  of  the  apostles  saw 
I none,  save  "James  the  Lord’s 
brother. 

20  Now  the  things  which  I write 
unto  you,  behold,  before  God,  I 
lie  not. 

21  ’'Afterwards  I came  into  the 
regions  of  Syr-i-a  and  Ci-li-ci-a; 

22  And  was  unknown  by  face 
’'unto  the  churches  of  Ju-dse-a 
which  * were  in  -Christ : 

23  But  they  had  heard  only.  That 
he  which  persecuted  us  in  times 
past  now  preacheth  the  faith  which 
once  he  destroyed. 

24  And  they  glorified  God  in  me. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 He  sheweth  when  and  for  what  purpose  he  went  again 
to  Jerusalem.  16  Of  justification  by  faith. 

Then  fourteen  years  after  “I 
went  up  again  to  JAru-sa-lSm 
with  Bar-na-bas,  and  took  Ti-tus 
with  me  also. 

2  And  I went  up  by  revelation, 
^ and  communicated  unto  them  that 
gospel  which  I preach  among  the 
Gen-tiles,  but  ^privately  to  them 
which  were  of  reputation,  lest  by 
any  means  '’I  should  run,  or  had 
run,  in  vain. 

3  But  neither  Ti-tus,  who  was 
with  me,  being  a Greek,  was  com- 
pelled to  be  circumcised : 

4  And  that  because  of  ^ false  bre- 
thren unawares  brought  in,  who 
came  in  privily  to  spy  out  our 
"liberty  ™ich  we  have  in  -Christ

into  bondage :

jection, no,  not  for  an  hour ; that  the

truth  of  the  gospel  might  continue 
with  you. 

6 But  of  these  ‘^who  seemed  to  be 
somewhat,  (whatsoever  they  were, 
it  maketh  no  matter  to  me : -^God 
accepteth  no  man’s  person :)  f9r 
they  who  seemed  to  he  souiewhat  ^in 
conference  added  nothing  to  me : 

7 But  contrariwise,  *when  they 
saw  that  the  gospel  of  the  uncir- 
cumcision * was  committed  unto 
me,  as  the  gospel  of  the  circumci- 
sion was  unto  Pe-ter ; 

^ 8 (For  he  that  wrought  effectually 
in  Pe-ter  to  the  apostleship  of  the 
circumcision, the  same  was  mighty 
in  me  toward  the  Gen- tiles :) 

9 And  when  James,  Ce-phas,  and 
J6hn,  who  seemed  to  be  ^pillars, 
perceived  ®the  grace  that  was  given 
unto  me,  they  gave  to  me  and  Bar- 
na-bas  the  right  hands  of  fellow- 
ship; that  we  should  go  unto  the 
heathen,  and  they  unto  the  circum- 
cision. 

10  Only  they  would  that  we  should 
remember  the  poor  ; Hhe  same 
which  I also  was  forward  to  do. 

11  "'But  when  Pe-ter  was  come  to 
An-ti-5-eh,  I withstood  him  to  the 
face,  because  he  was  to  be  blamed. 

12  For  before  that  certain  came 

from  James,  “he  did  eat  with  the 
Oen-tiles ; but  when  they  were  come, 
he  withdrew  and  separated  himself, 
fearing  them  which  were  of  the  cir- 
cumcision. _ 

13  And  the  other  Jews  dissembled 
likewise  with  him ; insomuch  that 
Bar-na-bas  also  was  carried  away 
with  their  dissimulation. 

14  But  when  I saw  that  they 
walked  not  uprightly  according  to 
the  truth  of  the  gospel,  I said  unto 
Pe-ter  before  them  all,  “^If  thou, 
being  a J^,  livest  after  the  man- 
ner of  Gen-tiles,  and  not  as  do  the 
Jews,  why  compellest  thou_  the 
Gen-tlles  to  live  as  do  the  J^sl 

15  •''We  who  are  Jews  by  nature, 
and  not  ^sinners  of  the  Gen^tiles, 

16 /Knowing  that  a man  is  not 
iustified  by  the  works  of  the  law, 
but*by  the  faith  of  Je-siis  -Christ, 
even  we  have  believed  in  Je-sus 
■Ghrist,  that  we  might  be  iustified 
by  the  faith  of  -Christ,  and  not  by 
the  works  of  the  law : for  ’"by  the 
works  of  the  law  shall  no  flesh  be 
justified. 

1 7 But  if,  while  we  seek  to  be  justi- 
fied by  -Christ,  we  ourselves  also  are 
found  ^sinners,  is  therefore  -Christ 
the  minister  of  sin  % God  forbid. 

18  For  if  I build  again  the  things 
which  I destroyed,  I make  myself 
a transgressor.

19  For  I “through  the  law  *am 
dead  to  the  law,  that  I might  ®live 
unto  God. 

20  I am  ® crucified  with  -Christ; 
nevertheless  I live ; yet  not  1,  but 
Christ  liveth  in  nae : and  the  life 
which  I now  live  in  the  flesh  '‘I  live 
by  the  faith  of  the  Son  of  God,  *who 
loved  me,  and  gave  himself  for  me. 

21  I do  not  frustrate  the  grace 
of  God  : for  ’"if  righteousness  come 
by  the  law,  then  -Christ  is  dead  in 
vain. 

CHAPTER  3. 

Be  asketh  what  moved  them  to  leave  the  faith,  &c. 

0 FOOLISH  Ga-la-tians,  " who 
hath  bewitched  you,  that  ye 
should  not  obey  the  truth,  before 
whose  eyes  Je-sus  -Christ  hath  been 
evidently  set  forth,  crucified  among 
youl 

2  This  only  would  I learn  of  you. 
Received  ye  ’"the  Spirit  by  the  works 
of  the  law,  *or  by  the  hearing  of 
faith  1 

3  Are  ye  so  foolish  1 having  begun 
in  the  Spirit,  are  ye  now  made  per- 
fect by  "the  flesh '? 

4  ^'Have  ye  suffered  ^so  many 
things  in  vain  1 if  it  he  yet  in  vain. 
5 He  therefore  *that  ministereth 
to  you  the  Spirit,  and  worketh 
miracles  among  you,  doeth  he  it 
by  the  works  of  the  law,  or  by  the 
hearing  of  faithj 

6 Even  as  ^A-bra-ham  believed 
God,  and  it  was  ^accounted  to  him 
for  righteousness. 

7 Know  ye  therefore  that  Hhey 
which  are  of  faith,  the  same  are 
the  children  of  A-bra-ham. 

8  And  the  scripture,  foreseeing 
that  (Jod  would  justify  the  heathen 
through  faith,  preached  before  the 
gospel  unto  A-bra-ham,  saying,  ®In 
thee  shall  all  nations  be  blessed. 

9  So  then  they  which  be  of  faith 
are  blessed  with  faithful  A-bra-ham. 

10  For  as  many  as  are  of  the  works 
of  the  law  are  under  the  curse  : for 
it  is  written,  ^Cursed  is  every  one 
that  continueth  not  in  all  things 
which  are  written  in  the  book  of 
the  law  to  do  them. 

1 1  But  that  no  man  is  justified  by 
the  law  in  the  sight  of  God,  it  is 
evident:  for,  ^The  just  shall  live 
by  faith. 

12  And  "the  law  is  not  of  faith: 
but,  ‘’The  man  that  doeth  them 
shall  live  in  them. 

13  ^’Christ  hath  redeemed  us  from 
the  curse  of  the  lawj  being  made 
a curse  for  us : for  it  is  written, 
’’Cursed  is  every  one  that  hangeth 
on  a tree :

Freedom  from  the  law. 


might  come  on  the  tiles  through 
Je-stis  €hrlst ; that  we  might  receive 
‘‘the  promise  of  the  Spirit  through 

15  Brethren,  I speak  after  the 

manner  of  men;  ^Though^  it  be 
but  a man’s  ^covenant,  yet  X be 
confirmed,  no  man  disannulleth,  or 
addeth  thereto.  _ ^ ... 

16  Now  Ho  A-bra-ham  and  ms 
tseed  were  the  promises  made.  He 
saith  not.  And  to  seeds,  as  of  many; 
but  as  of  one,  And  to  thy  seed, 
which  is  "Ghrlst. 

17  And  this  I say,  that  the  cove- 
nant, that  was  confirmed  before  or 
God  in  Ghrist,  the  law  ^which  was 
four  hundred  and  thirty  years 
after,  cannot  disannul,  ’“that  it 
should  make  the  promise  of  none 

effect.  , . , 7 1! 

18  For  if  "the  inheritance  be  oi 

the  law, « it  is  no  more  of  promise : 
but  God  gave  it  to  A-bra-hSm  by 
promise.  7 i o 

1 9 Wherefore  then  serveth  the  law  ? 
*It  was  added  because  of  transgres- 
sions, till  the  seed  should  come  to 
whom  the  promise  was  made ; arm 
it  was  ^ordained  by  angels  in  the 
hand  ^'of  a mediator. 

20  Now  a mediator  is  not  a medi- 
ator of  one,  “but  God  is  one. 

21  /s  the  law  then  against  the 

promises  of  God  1 God  forbid : for 
if  there  had  been  a law  given  which 
could  have  given  life,  verily  right- 
eousness should  have  been  by  the 
law.  . , . 

22  But  the  scripture  hath  con- 

cluded ‘^all  under  sin,  Hh^  the 
promise  by  faith  of  J e-sus  -Christ 
might  be  given  to  them  that  be- 
lieve. „ . , 

23  But  before  faith  came,  we  were 
kept  under  the  law,  shut  up  unto 
the  faith  which  should  afterwards 
' be  rGV0£tl0d* 

24  Wherefore  '^the  law  was  our 

schoolmaster  to  bring  us  unto 
-Christ,  Hhat  we  might  be  justified 
by  faith.  . , . 

25  But  after  that  faith  is  come,  we 
are  no  longer  under  a schoolmaster. 

26  For  ye  Hre  all  the  children  of 
God  by  faith  in  Ghrist  J e-sus. 

27  For  “‘as  many  of  you  as  have 

been  baptized  into  €hrist  have  put 
on  -Christ.  , _ 

28  “There  is  neither  Jew  nor 
Greek,  there  is  neither  bond  nor 
free,  there  is  neither  male  nor  fe- 
male : for  ye  are  all  ^one  in  -Christ 
Je-§us. 

29  And  ^if  ye  he  -Christ  s,  then  are 
ye  A-bra-h&m’s  seed,  and  ’’heirs  ac- 
cording to  the  promise.

CHAPTER  4. 

Christ  hath  freed  us  from  the  law. 

TVTOW  I say,  That  the  hgr,  as 
long  as  he  is  a child,  differeth 
nothing  from  a servant,  though  he 
be  lord  of  all ; ^ 

2 But  is  under  tutors  and  gover- 
nors until  the  time  appointed  of 
the  father. 

3 Even  so  we,  when  we  were  chil- 
dren, ‘*were  in  bondage  under  the 
2 elements  of  the  world: 

4 But  •''when  the  fulness  of  the 
time  was  come,  God  sent  forth  his 
Son,  ^'made  '‘of  a woman,  ’made 
under  the  law, 

5 'To  redeem  them  that  were 
under  the  law,  ’‘that  we  nfight  re- 
ceive the  adoption  of  sons. 

6 And  because  ye  are  sons,  God 
hath  sent  forth  ^the  Spirit  of  his 
Son  into  your  hearts,  crying,  Ab-ba, 
Father. 

7 Wherefore  thou  art  no  more  a 
servant,  but  a son ; ’’and  if  a son, 
then  an  heir  of  God  through  €hrlst. 

8 Howbeit  then,  'when  ye  knew 
not  God,  “ye  did  service  unto  them 
which  by  nature  are  no  gods. 

9 But  now,  ’after  that  ye  have 
known  God,  or  rather  are  known 
of  God,  "how  turn  ye  ^ again  to 
the  weak  and  beggarly  ^elements, 
whereunto  ye  desire  again  to  be 
in  bondage  1 

10  "Ye  observe  days,  and  months, 
and  times,  and  years. 

11  I am  afraid  of  you,  lest  i 

have  bestowed  upon  you  labour  in 
vain.  , - , 

12  Brethren,  I beseech  you,  be  as 

I am ; for  I am  as  ye  are:  •''ye  have 
not  injured  me  at  all.  , . « 

13  Ye  know  how  Hhrough  infir- 
mity of  the  flesh  I preached  the 
gospel  unto  you  at  the  first. 

14  And  my  temptation  which  was 
in  my  flesh  ye  despised  not,  nor  re- 
jected ; but  received  me  as  an  angel 
of  God,  ^even  as  -Christ  Je-sus. 

15  "Where  is  then  the  blessedness 
ye  spake  of*?  for  I bear  you  record, 
that,  if  it  had  been  possible,  ye 
would  have  plucked  out  your  own 
eyes,  and  have  given  them  to  me. 

16  Am  I therefore  become  your 
enemy,  because  I tell  you  the 

truth  1 nr.  7 

17  They  "zealously  affect  you,  but 
not  well ; yea,  they  would  exclude 
®you,  that  ye  might  affect  them. 

18  But  it  is  good  to  be  zealously 

affected  always  in  a good  thing, 
and  not  only  when  I am  present 
with  you.  ^ , _ 

19  *My  little  children,  of  whom  I

travail  in  birth  again  until  £)hrist 
be  formed  in  you, 

20  I desire  to  be  present  with  you 
now,  and  to  change  my  voice;  for 
‘^1  stand  in  doubt  of  y9u. 

21  Tell  me,  ye  that  desire  to  be  un- 
der the  law,  ao  ye  not  hear  the  law'? 

22  For  it  is  written,  that  A-bra- 
ham  had  two  sons,  ‘'the  one  by  a 
bondmaid,  Hhe  other  by  a free- 
woman. 

23  But  he  who  was  of  the  bond- 
woman  ^ was  born  after  the  flesh ; 
^but  he  of  the  freewoman  was  by 
promise. 

24  Which  things  are  an  allegory : 
for  these  are  the  two  ^covenants; 
the  one  from  the  mount  ^Si-nai, 
which  gendereth  to  bondage,  which 
is  A-gar.  _ 

25  For  this  A -gar  is  mount  Si-nai 
in  A-ra-bi-a,  and  ®answereth  t9  Je- 
ru-sa-lem  which  now  is,  and  is  in 
bondage  with  her  children. 

^ 26  But  ‘'Jc-ru-sa-lgm  which  is  above 
is  free,  which  is  the  mother  9f  us  all. 

27  For  it  is  written,  ’‘Rejoice,  thou 
barren  that  bearest  not ; break 
forth  and  cry,  thou  that  travailest 
not ; for  the  desolate  hath  many 
more  children  than  she  which  hath 
an  husband. 

28  Now  we,  brethren,  as  I-saac 
was,  are  “the  children  of  promise. 

29  But  as  then  *he  that  was  born 
after  the  flesh  persecuted  him  that 
was  born  after  the  Spirit,  even  so  it 
is  now. 

30  Nevertheless  what  saith  “the 
scripture  1 * Cast  out  the  bond- 
woman  and  her  son : for  ‘^the  son  of 
the  bondwoman  shall  not  be  heir 
with  the  son  of  the  freewoman. 

31  So  then,  brethren,  we  are  not 
children  of  the  bondwoman,  •''but  of 
the  free.

of  the  cross  ceased. 

12  1 would  they  were  even  cut  off 
’“which  trouble  you. 

13  For,  brethren,  ye  have  been 
called  unto  liberty  ; only  '^use  not 
liberty  for  an  occasion  to  the  flesh, 
but  ^by  love  serve  one  another. 

14  For  ®all  the  law  is  fulfilled  in 
one  word,  even  in  this  ; *Thou  shalt 
love  thy  neighb9ur  as  thyself. 

15  But  if  ye  bite  and  devour  one 
another,  take  heed  that  ye  be  not 
consumed  one  of  another. 

16  This  I say  then,  'Walk  in  the 
Spirit,  and  ®ye  shall  not  fulfil  the 
lust  of  the  flesh. 

17  For  ythe  flesh  lusteth  against 
the  Spirit,  and  the  Spirit  against 
the  flesh : and  these  are  contrary 
the  one  to  the  other:  ^so  that  ye 
cannot  do  the  things  that  ye  would. 

18  But  ‘'if  ye  be  led  of  the  Spirit, 
ye  are  not  under  the  law. 

19  Now  * the  works  of  the  flesh  are 
manifest,  which  are  these ; Adul- 
tery, fornication,  uncleanness,  las- 
civiousness, 

20  Idolatry,  witchcraft,  hatred, 
variance,  emulations,  wrath,  strife, 
seditions,  heresies, 

21  Envyings,  murders,  drunken- 
ness, revellings,  and  such  like : of 
the  which  I tell  you  before,  as  I 
have  also  told  you  in  time  past,  that 
'they  which  do  such  things  shall 
not  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God. 

22  But  'the  fruit  of  the  Si)irit 
is  love,  joy,  peace,  longsuffering, 
’“gentleness,  ’‘goodness,  “faith, 

23  Meekness,  temperance : ^against 
such  there  is  no  law. 

24  And  they  that  are  -Ghrist’s 
’‘have  crucified  the  flesh  with  the 
’affections  and  lusts. 

25  'If  we  live  in  the  Spirit,  let 
us  also  walk  in  the  Spirit. 

26  *Let  us  not  be  desirous  of  vain 
glory,  provoking  one  another,  envy- 
ing one  another.

CHAPTER  6. 

1 Be  moveth  them  to  deal  mildly  with  a brother  that  hath 
slipped:  2 to  bear  one  another's  burden,  &c. 

Brethren,  ‘^if^  a man  be  over- 
taken in  a fault,  ye  which  are 
spiritual,  restore  such  an  one  *in  the 
spirit  of  meekness  ; considering  thy- 
self, -^lest  thou  also  be  tempted. 

2  Bear  ye  one  another’s  burdens, 
and  so  fulfil  *the  law  of  -Christ. 

3  For  *if  a man  think  himself  to 
be  something,  when  * he  is  nothing, 
he  deceiveth  himself. 

4  But  "'let  every  man  prove  his 
own  work,  and  then  shall  he  have 
rejoicing  in  himself  alone,  and  not 
in  another. 

5  For  ‘’every  man  shall  bear  his 
own  burden. 

6  »Let  him  that  is  taught  in  the 
word  communicate  unto  him  that 
teacheth  in  all  good  things. 

7  *Be  not  deceived;  “God  is  not 
mocked : for  ^ whatsoever  a man 
soweth,  that  shall  he  also  reap. 

8  *For  he  that  soweth  to  his  flesh 
shall  of  the  flesh  reap  corruption ; 
but  he  that  soweth  to  tne  Spirit  shall 
of  the  Spirit  reap  life  everlasting. 

9  And^  ‘^let  us  not  be  weary  in 
well  doing : for  in  due  season  we 
shall  reap,  •’'if  we  faint  not.

11  Ye  see  how  large  a letter  I 
have  written  unto  you  with  mine 
own  hand. 

12  As  many  as  desire  to  make  a 
fair  shew  in  the  flesh,  they  con- 
strain you  to  be  circumcised ; ^'only 
lest  they  should  sufier  persecution 
for  the  cross  of  Christ. 

13  For  neither  they  themselves 
who  are  circumcised  keep  the  law ; 
but  desire  to  have  you  circumcised, 
that  they  may  glory  in  your  flesh. 

14  “But  God  forbid  that  I should 
glory,  save  in  the  cross  of  our  Lord 
Je-stis  Christ,  ^by  whom  the  world 
is  ^crucified  unto  me,  and  I unto 
the  world. 

1 5 For  "’in  Christ  J e%us  neither  cir- 
cunicision  ayaileth  any  thing,  nor 
uncircumcision,  but  *a  new  creature.

ing to  this  rule,  peace  he  on  them, 
and  mercy,  ana  upon  “the  I§-ra-6l

1 He  exherteth  to  unity,  25  to  cast  off  lying,  &c. 

T THEREFORE,  the  prisoner  ^of 
± the  Lord,  beseech  you  that  ye 
'’walk  worthy  of  the  vocation  where- 
with ye  are  called, 

2 ’’With  all  lowliness  and  meek- 
ness, with  longsuffering,  forbear- 
ing one  another  in  love; 

3 Endeavouring  to  keep  the  unity 
of  the  Spirit  in  the  bond  of  peace. 

4c  ^ There  is  one  body,  and  '‘one 
Spirit,  even  as  ye  are  called  in  one 
hope  of  your  calling  ; 

5 'One  Lord,  "‘one  faith,  "one  bap- 
tism, 

6 ^(Jne  God  and  Father  of  all,  who 
is  above  all,  and  ^through  all,  and 
in  you  all. 

7 But  'unto  every  one  of  us  is  given 
grace  according  to  the  measure  of 
the  gift  of  -Christ. 

8 Wherefore  he  saith,  “When  he 
ascended  up  on  high,  he  led  ^cap- 
tivity captive,  and  gave  gifts  unto 
men. 

9 “(Now  that  he  ascended,  what  is 
it  but  that  he  also  descended  first 
into  the  lower  parts  of  the  earth  1 

10  He  that  descended  is  the  same 
also  "that  ascended  up  far  above 
all  heavens,  that  he  might  ^fill  all 
things.) 

11  ‘'And  he  gave  some,  apostles;

teachers ; 

1 2 '‘For  the  perfecting  of  the  saints,

Exhortation  to  wnity. 


EPHESIANS,  5. 


General  exhortations. 


14  That  we  henceforth  be  no  more 
“children,  tossed  to  and  fro,  and 
carried  about  with  every  wind  of 
doctrine,  by  the  sleight  of  men, 
and  cunning  craftiness, /whereby 
they  lie  in  wait  to  deceive ; 

15  But  * speaking^  the  truth  in 
love,  may  grow  up  into  him  in  all 
things,  •^’v^ch  is  the  head,  even 
■Ghrist : 

16  From  whom  the  whole  body 
fitly  joined  together  and  compacted 
by  that  which  every  joint  supplieth, 
according  to  the  effectual  working 
in  the  measure  of  every  part,  mak- 
eth  increase  of  the  body  unto  the 
edifying  of  itself  in  love. 

1 7 This  I say  therefore,  and  testify 
in  the  Lord,  that  ^ye  henceforth 
walk  not  as  other  Oen-tiles  walk, 
in  the  vanity  of  their  mind, 

18  "Having  the  understanding 
darkened,  being  alienated  from 
the  life  of  God  through  the  igno- 
rance that  is  in  them,  because  of 
the  ‘^blindness  of  their  heart: 

19  Who  being  past  feeling  «have 
given  themselves  over  unto  lascivi- 
ousness, to  work  all  uncleanness 
with  greediness. 

20  But  ye  have  not  so  learned 
•Christ ; 

21  If  so  be  that  ye  have  heard 
him,  and  have  been  taught  by  him, 
as  the  truth  is  in  Je-sus  : 

22  That  ye  *put  off  concerning 
^the  former  conversation  the  old 
man,  which  is  corrupt  according 
to  the  deceitful  lusts ; 

23  And  * be  renewed  in  the  spirit 
of  your  mind ; 

24  And  that  ye  "put  on  the  new 
man,  which  after  God  is  created  in 
righteousness  and  ^true  holiness. 

25  Wherefore  putting  awajr  lying, 
S' speak  every  man  truth  with  his 
neighbour : for  we  are  members 
one  of  another. 

26  Be  ye  angry,  and  sin  not:  let 
not  the  sun  go  down  upon  your 
wrath : 

27 /"Neither  give  place  to  the 
devil. 

28  Let  him  that  stole  steal  no 
more : but  rather  "let  him  labour, 
working  with  his  hands  the  thing 
which  is  good,  that  he  may  have 
’to  give  to  him  that  needeth. 

29  "'Let  no  corrupt  communica- 
tion proceed  out  of  your  mouth, 
but  *tnat  which  is  good  ®to  the  use 
of  edifying,  “that  it  may  minister 
grace  unto  the  hearers. 

30  And  ^grieve  not  the  holy  Spirit 
of  God,  whereby  ye  are  sealed  unto 
the  day  of  redemption. 

31  "Let  all  bitterness,  and  wrath.

all  uncleanness,  15  to  walk  warily,  18  to  be  filled  with 
the  Spirit.  22  Duties  of  wives  and  husbands. 

Be  ^ye  therefore  followers  of 
God,  as  dear  children; 

2  And  '"walk  in  love,  "as  -Christ 
also  hath  loved  us,  and  hath  given 
himself  for  us  an  offering  and  a 
sacrifice  to  God  *for  a sweetsmelh 
ing  savour. 

3  But  “"fornication,  and  all  un- 
cleanness, or  covetousness,  “let  it 
not  be  once  named  among  you,  as 
becometh  saints; 

4  Neither  filthiness,  nor  foolish 
talking,  nor  jesting,  ^ which  are  not 
convenient : but  rather  giving  of 
thanks. 

5  For  this  ye  know,  that  no  whore- 
monger, nor  unclean  person,  nor 
covetous  man,  “who  is  an  idolater, 
"hath  any  inheritance  in  the  king- 
dom of  Christ  and  of  God. 

6 /Let  no  man  deceive  you  with 
vain  words : for  because  of  these 
things  “cometh  the  wrath  of  God 
upon  the  children  of  ^ disobedience. 
7 Be  not  ye  therefore  partakers 
with  them. 

8 ^For  ye  were  sometimes  dark- 
ness, but  now  “are  ye  light  in  the 
Lord  : walk  as  "children  of  light :

11  And  '"have  no  fellowship  with 
'the  unfruitful  works  of  darkness, 
but  rather  * reprove  them. 

12  'For  it  is  a shame  even  to  speak 
of  those  things  which  are  done  of 
them  in  secret. 

13  But  “all  things  that  are  ®re- 
Iiroved  are  made  manifest  by  the 
light : for  whatsoever  doth  make

14  Wherefore  ®he  saith,  ^ Awake 
thou  that  sleepest,  and  ^ arise  from

24  Therefore  as  the  church  is  sub- 
ject unto  Christ,  so  let  the  wives 
he  to  their  own  husbands  ^ in  every 
thing. 

25  « Husbands,  love  your  wives,

and  ^ gave  himself  for  it ; 

26  That  he  might  sanctify  and 

cleanse  it  ^with  the  washing  of 
water  by  the  word,  _ ' 

27  “That  he  might  present  it  to 
himself  a glorious  church,  "'not  hav- 
ing spot,  or  wrinkle,  or  any  such 
thing ; but  that  it  should  be  holy 
and  without  blemish. 

28  So  ought  men  t9  love  their 
wives  as  their  own  bodies.  He  that 
loveth  his  wife  loveth  himself. 

29  For  no  man  ever  yet  hated 
his  own  flesh ; but  nourisheth  and 
cherisheth  it,  even  as  the  Lord  the 
church : 

30  For  ^we  are  members  of  his 
body,  of  his  flesh,  and  of  his  bones. 

31  ‘^For  this  cause  shall  a man 
leave  his  father  and  mother,  and 
shall  be  joined  unto  his  wife,  and 
they  ^ two  shall  be  one  flesh. 

32  This  is  a great  mystery:  but 
I speak  concerning  Christ  and  the 
church. 

33  Nevertheless  *let  every  one  of 
you  in  particular  so  love  his  wife 
even  as  himself ; and  the  wife  see 
that  she  reverence  her  husband.

think  this  of  you  all,  because  ^ I 
have  you  in  my  heart ; inasmuch 
as  both  in  my  bonds,  and  in  the 
defence  and  confirmation  of  the 
gospel,  ye  all  are  ^partakers  of  my 
grace. 

8  For  '"God  is  my  record,  how 
greatly  I long  after  you  all  in  the 
bowels  of  Je-stis  -Christ. 

9  And  this  I pray,  that  your  love 
may  abound  yet  more  and  more  in 
knowledge  and  in  all  ^judgment; 

10  That  *ye  may  ® approve  things 
that  '^are  excellent;  Hhat  ye  may 
be  sincere  and  without  offence  ”till 
the  day  of  Christ ;

righteousness,  “which  are  by  Je-stis 
-Christ,  ^'unto  the  glory  and  praise 
of  God. 

12  But  I would  ye  should  under- 
stand, brethren,  that  the  things 
which  happened  unto  me  have  fallen 
out  rather  unto  the  furtherance  of 
the  gospel ;

14  And  many  of  the  brethren  in 
the  Lord,  waxing  confident  by  my 
bonds,  are  much  more  bold  to  speak 
the  word  without  fear. 

15  Some  indeed  preacli  -Christ 
even  of  envy  and  ^strife ; and  some 
also  of  good  will : 

IG  The  one  preach  -Christ  of  con- 
tention, not  sincerely,  supposing  to 
add  affliction  to  my  bonds ; 

17  But  the  other  of  love,  knowing 
that  I am  set  for  the  defence  of  the 
gospel. 

18  What  thenl  notwithstanding, 

every  way,  whether  in  pretence,  or 
in  truth,  -Christ  is  preached:  and 
I therein  do  rejoice,  yea,  and  will 
rejoice.  , , . , „ 

19  For  I know  that  this  shall 
turn  to  my  salvation  through  y9ur 
prayer,  and  the  supply  of  the  Spirit 
of  Je-siis  -Christ, 

20  According  to  my  ® earnest  ex- 

pectation and  my  hope,  that  Un 
nothing  I shall  be  ashamed,  but 
that  ^'with  all  boldness,  as  always, 
so  now  also  -Christ  shall  be  magni- 
fied in  my  body,  whether  it  be  by 
life,  or  by  death.  . ^ j 

21  For  to  me  to  hve  is  -Christ,  and 
to  die  is  gain. 

22  But  if  I live  in  the  flesh,  this  is 
the  fruit  of  my  labour : yet  what  I 
shall  choose  I wot  not. 

23  For  ^ I am  in  a strait  betwixt 
two,  having  a desire  to  ^depart, 
and  to  be  with  -Christ ; which  is  far 

24  Nevertheless  to  abide  in  the 
flesh  is  more  needful  for  you. 

25  And  5 having  this  confidence,  i 
know  that  I shall  abide  and  con- 
tinue with  you  all  for  your  further- 
ance and  joy  of  faith  ; ^ 

26  That  ’■your  rejoicing  may  be 
more  abundant  in  J e-sus  -Christ  for 
me  by  my  coming  to  you  again. 

27  Only  det  your  conversation  be

Be  exJiorteth  them  to  unity  and  humility,  by  the 
example  of  Christ. 

IF  there  he  therefore  any  consola- 
tion in  -Christ,  if  any  comfort  of 
love,  *if  any  fellowship  of  the  Spirit, 
if  any  “bowels  and  mercies, 

2  * Fulfil  ye  my  joy,  ^'that  ye  be 
likeminded,  having  the  same  love, 
being  of  one  accord,  of  one  mind. 

3  Let  nothing  be  done  through 
strife  or  vainglory;  but  *in  lowli- 
ness of  mind  let  each  esteem  other 
better  than  themselves. 

4  ‘^Look  not  every  man  on  his 
own  things,  but  every  man  also  on 
the  things  of  others. 

5  ®Let  this  mind  be  in  you,  which 
was  also  in  -Christ  Je-sus  : 

6  Who,  ^ being  in  the  form  of  God, 
thought  it  not  robbery  to  be  equal 
with  God : 

7  ‘But  made  himself  of  no  reputa- 
tion, and  took  upon  him  the  form 
*of  a servant,  and  *was  made  in 
the  ® likeness  of  men  : 

8  And  being  found  in  fashion  as  a 
man,  he  humbled  himself,  and  "‘be- 
came obedient  unto  death,  even  the 
death  of  the  cross. 

9  Wherefore  God  also  "hath  highly 
exalted  him,  and  "given  him  a name 
which  is  above  every  name  : 

10  ^That  at  the  name  of  Je-sus 
every  knee  should  bow,  of  things 
in  heaven,  and  things  in  earth,  and 
things  under  the  earth  ; 

1 1  And  ^ that  every  tongue  should 
confess  that  Je^tis  -Christ  is  Lord, 
to  the  glory  of  God  the  Father. 

12  Wherefore,  my  beloved,  as  ye 
have  always  obeyed,  not  as  in  my 
presence  only,  but  now  much  more 
in  my  absence,  work  out  your  own 
salvation  with  *fear  and  trembling. 
13  For  “it  is  God  which  worketh 
in  you  both  to  will  and  to  do  of  his

15  That  ye  may  be  blameless  and 

^harmless,  “the  sons  of  God,  without 
rebuke,  "in  the  midst  of  ‘*a  crooked 
and  perverse  nation,  among  whom 
" ye  ^ shine  as  lights  in  the  world  ; 

1 6 Holding  forth  the  word  of  life ; 
that  '‘I  may  rejoice  in  the  day  of 
-Christ,  that  ‘I  have  not  run  in 
vain,  neither  laboured  in  vain. 

17  Yea,  and  if  H be  ^offered  upon 
the  sacrifice  "and  service  oi  your 
faith,  "I  joy,  and  rejoice  with  you 
all. 

18  For  the  same  cause  also  do  ye 
joy,  and  rejoice  with  me. 

19  ^But  I trust  in  the  Lord  Je-§us 
to  send  "Ti-mo-the-tis  shortly  unto 
you,  that  I also  may  be  of  good 
comfort,  when  I know  your  state. 

20  For  I have  no  man  ® likeminded, 
who  will  naturally  care  for  your 
state. 

21  For  all  ‘seek  their  own,  not  the 
things  which  are  Je-sus  -Christ’s. 

22  But  ye  know  the  proof  of  him, 
‘that,  as  a son  with  the  father,  he 
hath  served  with  me  in  the  gospel. 

23  Him  therefore  I hope  to  send 
presently,  so  soon  as  I shall  see  how 
it  will  go  with  me. 

24  But  "I  trust  in  the  Lord  that  I 
also  myself  shall  come  shortly. 

25  Yet  I supposed  it  necessary  to 
send  to  you  E-paph-rfi-dl-ttis,  my 
brother,  and  companion  in  labour, 
and  fellowsoldier,  •''but  your  mes- 
senger, and  '‘he  that  ministered  to 
my  wants. 

26  For  he  longed  after  you  all, 
and  was  full  of  heaviness,  because 
that  ye  had  heard  that  he  bad  been 
sick. 

27  For  indeed  he  was  sick  nigh 
unto  death  : but  God  had  mercy  on 
him ; and  not  on  him  only,  but  on 
me  also,  lest  I should  have  sorrow 
upon  sorrow. 

28  I sent  him  therefore  the  more 
carefully,  that,  when  ye  see  him 
again,  ye  may  rejoice,  and  that  I 
may  be  the  less  sorrowful. 

29  Receive  him  therefore  in  the 
Lord  with  all  gladness ; and  ’ hold 
such  in  reputation: 

30  Because  for  the  work  of  -Christ 
he  was  nigh  unto  death,  not  regard- 
ing his  life,  "to  supply  your  lack  of 
service  toward  me.

Finally,  my  brethren,  ‘rejoice 
in  the  Lord.  To  write  the  same 
things  to  you,  to  me  indeed  is  not 
grievous,  but  for  you  it  is  safe.

3 For  we  are  “the  circumcision, 
® which  worship  God  in  the  spirit, 
and  rejoice  in  -Christ  Je-sus,  and 
have  no  confidence  in  the  flesh. 

4 Though  might  also  have  con-

the  law,  but  ‘'that  which  is  through 
the  faith  of -Christ,  the  righteous- 
ness which  is  of  God  by  faith : 

10  That  I may  know  him,  and  the 
power  of  his  resurrection,  and  •''the 
fellowship  of  his  sufferings,  being 
made  conformable  unto  his  death ; 

11  If  by  any  means  I might  ‘attain 
unto  the  resurrection  of  the  dead. 

12  Not  as  though  I had  already 
^attained,  either  were  already  ‘“per- 
fect: but  I follow  after,  if  that  I 
may  apprehend  that  for  which  also 
I am  apprehended  of  -Christ  Je-sus. 

13  Brethren,  I count  not  myself 
to  have  apprehended  : but  this  owq 
thing  I do,  “forgetting  those  things 
which  are  behind,  and  “reaching 
forth  unto  those  things  which  are 
before, 

14  ^ I press  toward  the  mark  for 
the  prize  of  ^the  high  calling  of  God 
in  -Christ  Je-sus.

‘perfect,  “be  thus  minded : and  if  in 
any  thing  ye  be  otherwise  minded, 
God  shall  reveal  even  this  unto  you. 

16  Nevertheless,  whereto  we  have 
already  attained,  ^let  us  walk  ^by 
the  same  rule,  let  us  mind  the  same 
thing.

13  I can  do  all  things  "through

14  Notwithstanding  ye  have  well 
done,  that  ‘^ye  did  communicate 
with  my  affliction.

also,  that  in  the  beginning  of  the 
gospel,  when  I departed  from  Mag- 
6-do-ni-a,  '"no  church  communicated 
with  me  as  concerning  giving  and 
receiving,  but  ye  only. 

16  For  even  in  Thes-sa-lo-ni-«a 

ye  sent  once  and  again  unto  my 
necessity.  . 

17  Not  because  I desire  a gift:  but 
I desire  ^ fruit  that  may  abound  to

wherein  also  ye  are  risen  with  him 
through  ’‘’the  faith  of  the  operation

13  And  you,  being  dead  in  your 
sins  and  the  uncircumcision  of  your 
flesh,  hath  he  quickened  together 
with  him,  having  forgiven  you  all 
trespasses ; 

1 4 * Blotting  out  the  handwriting 
of  ordinances  that  was  against  us, 
which  was  contrary  to  us,  and  took 
it  out  of  the  way,  nailing  it  to  his 
cross ; 

If)  And  ‘^having  spoiled  “princi-

you  * in  ® meat,  or  in  drink,  or  ’ in

to  put  off  the  old  man,  and  put  on  Christ,  &c. 

IF  ye  then  ^be  risen  with  -Christ, 
seek  those  things  which  are 
above,  where  ” Christ  sitteth  on  the 
right  hand  of  God. 

2  Set  your  ^affection  on  things 
above,  not  on  things  on  the  earth.

covetousness,  ‘‘which  is  idolatry:

wrath  of  God  cometh  on  ^ the  chil- 
dren of  disobedience : 

7  ‘In  the  which  ye  also  walked 
some  time,  when  ye  lived  in  them. 
8 *But  now  ye  also  put  off  all 
these;  anger,  wrath,  malice,  blas- 
phemy, "“filthy  communication  out 
of  your  mouth. 

9  “ Lie  not  one  to  another,  " seeing 
that  ye  have  put  off  the  old  man

10  And  have  put  on  the  new

For  ‘’yourselves,  brethren,  know

it  was  not  in  vain  ; 

2  But  even  after  that  we  had  suf- 
fered before,  and  were  shamefully 
entreated,  as  ye  knpw,  at  “Phi-lip- 
pi,  we  were  bold  in  our  God  ^ to 
speak  unto  you  the  gospel  of  God 
'*with  much  contention. 

3  '’For  our  exhortation  was  not  of 
deceit,  nor  of  uncleanness,  nor  in 
guile : 

4  But  as  ‘'we  were  allowed  of  God  ®to 
be  put  in  trust  with  the  gospel,  even 
so  we  speak  ; ■''not  as  pleasing  men,

5 For  “neither  at  any  time  used 

we  flattering  words,  as  ye  kimw, 
nor  a cloke  of  covetousness ; ‘^God 
is  witness : , . 

6 “^Nor  of  men  sought  we  glory, 
neither  of  you,  nor  yet  oi  others, 
when  ®we  might  have  ^ been -^bur- 
densome, ^as  the  apostles  of  -Christ. 

7 But  *we  were  gentle  among  you, 

even  as  a nurse  cherisheth  her 
children : , , . 

8 So  being  affectionately  desirous 
of  you,  we  were  willing  ""to  have 
imparted  unto  you,  not  the  gospel 
of  God  only,  but  also  ”our  own 
souls,  because  ye  were  dear  unto  us. 

9 For  ye  remember,  brethren,  our 
labour  and  travail : for  labouring 
night  and  day,  ’'because  we  would 
not  be  chargeable  unto  any  of  you, 
we  preached  unto  you  the  gospel 

of  God.  ^ 1 r'l  j 

10  *Ye  are  witnesses,  and  (jod 
also,  “how  holily  and  justly  and 
unblameably  we  behaved  ourselves 
among  you  that  believe : 

11  As  ye  know  how  we  exhorted 
and  comforted  and  charged  every 
one  of  you,  as  a father  doth  his 
children, 

12  *That  ye  would  walk  worthy  ot 
God,  ‘'who  hath  called  you  unto  his 
kingdom  and  glory. 

13  For  this  cause  also  thank  we 

God « without  ceasing,  because,  when 
ye  received  the  word  of  God  which 
ye  heard  of  us,  ye  received  it  fnot 
as  the  word  of  men,  but  as  it  is 
in  truth,  the  word  of  God,  wmch 
eftectually  worketh  also  in  you  that 
believe.  ^ ^ ^ . . 

14  For  ye,  brethren,  became  lol- 
lowers  *of  _ the  churches  of  God 
which  in  J u-dse-a  are  in  -Christ  J e- 
sus : for  ^'ye  also  have  suffered  like 
things  of  your  own  countr^en 
"even  as  they  have  of  the  Jews:

Je-sus,  and  Hheir  own  prophets,

G6n-tiles  that  they  might  be  saved, 
“to  fill  iip  their  sins  alway : *for 
the  wrath  is  come  upon  them  to

the  more  abundantly  *to  see  your

Paul  testifieth  his  lave  to  the  Thessalonians,  by  sending 
Timothy  to  strengthen  and  comfort  them,  &c. 

WHEREFORE  ‘‘when  we  could 
no  longer  forbear,* we  thought 
it  good  to  be  left  at  Ath-gns  alone  ; 

2  And  sent  ‘Ti-mo-the-u^  our  bro- 
ther, and  minister  of  God,  and 
our  fellowlabourer  in  the  gospel 
of  €hrist,  to  establish  you,  and  to 
comfort  you  concerning  your  faith : 

3  ‘’That  no  man  should  be  moved 
by  these  afflictions : for  yourselves 
know  that  «we  are  appointed  there- 
unto.  ^ 

4  *For  verily,  when  we  were  with 
you,  we  told  you  before  that  we 
should  suffer  tribulation;  even  as 
it  came  to  pass,  and  ye  know. 

5  For  this  cause,  *when  I could 
no  longer  forbear,  I sent  to  know 
your  faith,  ^^lest  by  some  means 
the  tempter  have  tempted  you,  and 
*our  labour  be  in  vain.  , , ^ ^ 

6  “ But  now  when  Ti-mo-the-iis 
came  from  you  unto  us,  and  brought 
us  good  tidings  of  your  faith  and 
charity,  and  that  ye  have  good 
remembrance  of  us  always,  desir- 
ing greatly  to  see  us,  ‘‘as  we  also

7  Therefore,  brethren,  •‘^we  were

fliction  and  distress  hy  your  faith: 

8  For  now  we  live,  if  ye  ‘‘stand 
fast  in  the  Lord. 

9  For  what  thanks  can  we  render 
to  God  again  for  you,  for  all  the  joy 
wherewith  we  joy  for  your  sakes 
before  our  God ;

Father,  and  our  Lord  J e-sus  -Christ,

as  ye  have  received  of  us  how  ye 
ought  to  walk  “and  to  please  God, 
so  ye  would  abound  more  and  more. 

2 For  ye  know  what  command- 
ments we  gave  you  by  the  Lord 
Je-^s. 

3 For  this  is  *the  will  of  God,  even 
your  sanctification,  ‘^that  ye  should 
abstain  from  fornication : 

4 -^That  every  one  of  you  should 
know  how  to  possess  his  vessel  in 
sanctification  and  honour ; 

5 * Not  in  the  lust  of  concupiscence, 
*even  as  the  Oen-tiles  * which  know 
not  God : 

6 ”That  no  man  go  beyond  and 
^defraud  his  brother  ^in  mat- 
ter : because  that  the  Lord  the 
avenger  of  all  such,  as  we  also  have 
forewarned  you  and  testified. 

7 For  God  hath  not  called  us  unto 
uncleanness,  ’’but  unto  holiness. 

8 *He  therefore  that  ^despiseth, 
despiseth  not  man,  but  God,  ‘who 
hath  also  given  unto  us  his  holy 
Spirit. 

9 But  as  touching  brotherly  love 
*ye  need  not  that  I write  unto  you : 
for  “ye  yourselves  are  taught  of  God 
®to  love  one  another. 

10  And  indeed  ye  do  it  toward 
all  the  brethren  which  are  in  all 
Mac-e-do-ni-a : but  we  beseech  you, 
brethren,  that  ye  increase  more  and 
more ; 

1 1 And  that  ye  study  to  be  quiet, 
and  ^to  do  your  own  business,  and 
Ho  work  with  your  own  hands,  as 
we  commanded  you ; 

12  *That  ye  may  walk  honestly 
toward  them  that  are  without,  and 
that  ye  may  have  lack  ®of  noth- 
ing. 

13  But  I would  not  have  you  to 
be  ignorant,  brethren,  concerning 
them  which  are  asleep,  that  ye 
sorrow  not,  even  as  others  which 
have  no  hope. 

14  For  -Pit  we  believe  that  Je-siis 
died  and  rose  again,  even  so  ®them 
also  which  sleep  in  Je-sus  will  God 
bring  with  him. 

15  For  this  we  say  unto  you  by 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  that  •'we 
which  are  alive  and  remain  unto 
the  coming  of  the  Lord  shall  not 
prevent  them  which  are  asleep. 

16  For  “the  Lord  himself  shall 
descend  from  heaven  with  a shout, 
with  the  voice  of  the  archangel,  and 
with  "fthe  trump  of  God : and  the 
dead  in  -Christ  shall  rise  first :

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Of  Christ's  cominy  to  judgment.  6 Divers  exhortor 
tions  and  precepts. 

But  of  ®the  times  and  the  sea- 
sons, brethren,  * ye  have  no  need 
that  I write  unto  you.  . 

2  For  yourselves  know  perfectly 
that  ^the  day  of  the  Lord  so  com- 
eth  as  a thief  in  the  night. 

3  For  when  they  shall  say.  Peace 
and  safety ; then  ‘ sudden  destruc- 
tion cometh  upon  them,  ”*as  travail 
upon  a woman  with  child ; and  they 
shall  not  escape. 

4  ^But  ye,  brethren,  are  not  in 
darkness,  that  that  day  should 
overtake  you  as  a thief. 

5  Ye  are  all  ®the  children  of  light, 
and  the  children  of  the  day : we  are 
not  of  the  night,  nor  of  darkness. 

6  “Therefore  let  us  not  sleep,  as 
do  others;  but  *let  us  watch  and 
be  sober. 

7  For  ^'they  that  sleep  sleep  in  the 
night;  and  they  that  be  drunken 
^are  drunken  in  the  night. 

8  But  let  us,  who  are  of  the  day, 
be  sober,  f putting  on  the  breast- 
plate of  faith  and  love ; and  for  an 
helmet,  the  hope  of  salvation. 

9  For  ®God  hath  not  appointed  us 
to  wrath,  •‘but  to  obtain  salvation 
by  our  Lord  Je-sus  -Christ, 

10  ^ Who  died  for  us,  that,  whether 
we  wake  or  sleep,  we  should  live 
together  with  him. 

11  ‘Wherefore  ® comfort  yourselves 
together,  and  edify  one  another, 
even  as  also  ye  do. 

1 2  And  we  beseech  you,  brethren, 
"“to  know  them  which  labour  among 
you,  and  are  over  you  in  the  Lord, 
and  admonish  you ; 

1 3  And  to  esteem  them  very  highly 
in  love  for  their  work’s  sake.  °And 
be  at  peace  among  yourselves. 

14  Now  we  ’exhort  you,  brethren, 
"■warn  them  that  are  *^unruly,  Horn- 
fort  the  feebleminded,  ‘ support 
the  weak,  “be  patient  toward  all 
men. 

15  ^^See  that  none  render  evil  for 
evil  unto  any  man ; but  ever  Hollow 
that  which  is  good,  both  among 
yourselves,  and  to  all  men. 

16  ‘’Rejoice  evermore. 

17  'Pray  without  ceasing. 

18  'In  every  thing  give  thanks: 
for  this  is  the  will  of  God  in  Christ

THE  SECOND  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 


TO  THE 


THES-SA-LO^NI-ANS. 


CHAPTER  1. 

1 Paul  certifieth  them  of  the  good  opinion  which  he  had  of 
their  faith,  love,  and  patience:  11  atxd  comforteth  them 
against  persecution. 

PAUL,  *and  Sil-va-niis,  and  Ti- 
"mo-thg-us,  unto  the  church  of 
the  Th6s-sa-lo-ni-ans  ‘^in  God  our

God  our  Father  and  the  Lord  J e-sus 
Christ.  , , , ^ 1 

3  -^We  are  bound  to  thank  God 
always  for  you,  brethren,  as  it  is 
meet,  because  that  your  faith  grow- 
eth  exceedingly,  and  the  charity  m 
every  one  of  you  all  toward  each 
other  aboundeth ; 

4  So  that  ^we  ourselves  glory  in 
you  in  the  churches  of  God  *=for  your 
patience  and  faith  ""in  all  your  per- 
secutions and  tribulations  that  ye 
endure : 

5  Which  is  ”a  manifest  token  of 
the  righteous  judgment  of  God, 
that  ye  may  be  counted  worthy  of 
the  kingdom  of  God,  ^for  which  ye 
also  suffer : 

6  * Seeing  it  is  a righteous  thing 
with  God  to  recompense  tribulation 
to  them  that  trouble  you ; 

7  And  to  you  who  are  troubled 
*'rest  with  us,  when  Hhe  Lord  Je-^us 
shall  be  revealed  from  heaven  with 
^his  mighty  angels, 

8  “In  flaming  fire  ^taking  venge 
ance  on  them  *that  know  not  God

everlasting  destruction  from  the 
presence  of  the  Lord,  and  •’'from 
the  glory  of  his  power;

12  ‘’That  the  name  of  our  Lord 
Je-sus  Christ  may  be  glorified  in 
you,  and  ye  in  him,  accordii^  to 
the  grace  of  our  God  and  the  Lord

CHAPTER  2. 

1 He  willeth  them  to  continue  stedfast  in  fh^  truth,  3 sheW' 
eth  that  there  shall  be  a departure  from  the  faith,  9 and 
the  appearance  of  antichrist. 

IVTOW  we  beseech  you,  brethren, 
lM  ^by  the  coming  of  our  Lord 
Je-siis  Christ,  ^and  by  our  gather- 
ing together  unto  him, 

2 ^That  ye  be  not  soon  shaken  in 
mind,  or  be  troubled,  neither  by 
spirit,  nor  by  word,  nor  by  letter  as 
from  us,  as  that  the  day  of  Christ 
is  at  hand. 

3 ‘’Let  no  man  deceive  you  by  any 
means : for  that  day  shall  not  come, 
® except  there  come  a falling  away 
first,  and  ’’that  man  of  sin  be  re- 
vealed, tthe  son  of  perdition ; 

4 Who  opposeth  and  “exalteth 
himself  *above  all  that  is  called  God, 
or  that  is  worshipped ; so  that  he  as 
God  sitteth  in  the  temple  of  God, 
shewing  himself  that  he  is  God. 

5 Remember  ye  not,  that,  when  1 
was  yet  with  you,  I told  you  these 

things'?  1 . 4 -i.!, 

6 And  now  ye  know  what  with- 

holdeth  that  he  might  be  revealed 
in  his  time.  » . . 

7 For  ‘’the  mystery  of  iniquity 
doth  already  wo^k : only^  he  who 
now  letteth  will  let,  until  he  be 
taken  out  of  the  way. 

8 And  then  shall  that  Wicked  be 
revealed,  *whom  the  L9rd  shall 
consume  ^with  the  spirit  of  his 
mouth  and  shall  destroy  'with  the 
brightness  of  his  coming : 


Paul  giveth  them  I.  TIMOTHY,  1. 


divers  'precepts. 


9 Even  whose  coming  is  “alter 
the  working  of  Sa-tan  with  all  power 
and  * signs  and  lying  wonders, 

10  And  with  all  deceivableness 
of  unrighteousness  in  ‘^them  that 
perish ; because  they  received  not 
the  love  of  the  truth,  that  they 
might  be  saved. 

11  And  -^for  this  cause  God  shall 
send  them  strong  delusion,  ^'that 
they  should  believe  a lie : 

1 2 That  they  all  might  be  damned 
who  believed  not  the  truth,  but 
""had  pleasure  in  unrighteousness. 

13  But  ”we  are  bound  to  give 
thanks  alway  to  God  for  you,  breth- 
ren beloved  of  the  Lord,  because 
God  ^hath  ®from  the  beginning 
chosen  you  to  salvation  through 
sanctification  of  the  Spirit  and  be- 
lief of  the  truth : 

14  Whereunto  he  called  you  by 
our  gospel,  to  “the  obtaining  of  the 
glory  of  our  Lord  J e-sus  -Christ. 

15  Therefore,  brethren,  ^standfast, 
and  hold  Hhe  traditions  which  ye 
have  been  taught,  whether  by  word, 
or  our  epistle. 

16  “Now  our  Lord  Je-sus  -Christ 
himself,  and  God,  even  our  Father, 
® which  hath  loved  us,  and  hath 
given  us  everlasting  consolation 
and  ^ood  hope  through  grace,

selves from  every  brother  that  walk- 
eth  Misorderly,  and  not  after  ‘the 
tradition  which  he  received  of  us. 

7 For  yourselves  know  ^how  ye 
ought  to  follow  us : for  ‘we  behaved 
not  ourselves  disorderly  among  you ; 

8 Neither  did  we  eat  any  man’s 
bread  for  nought;  but  “wrought 
with  labour  and  travail  night  and 
day,  that  we  might  not  be  charge- 
able to  any  of  you  : 

9 "Not  because  we  have  not  power, 
but  to  make  ‘ourselves  an  ensample 
unto  you  to  follow  us. 

10  For  even  when  we  were  with 
you,  this  we  commanded  you,  Hhat 
if  any  would  not  work,  neither 
should  he  eat. 

11  For  we  hear  that  there  are 
some  which  walk  among  you  dis- 
orderly, ‘'working  not  at  all,  but 
are  busybodies. 

12  ‘‘Now  them  that  are  such  we 
command  and  exhort  by  our  Lord 
J e-siis  -Christ,  •‘'that  with  quietness 
they  work,  and  eat  their  own  bread. 

13  But  ye,  brethren,  “be^  not 
weary  in  well  doing. 

14  And  if  any  man  obey  not  our 
word  ’^by  this  epistle,  note  that 
man,  and  ‘have  no  company  with 
him,  that  he  may  be  ashamed. 

15  ‘Yet  count  him  not  as  an  enemy, 
but  admonish  him  as  a brother. 

16  Now  “"the  Lord  of  peace  him- 
self give  you  peace  always  by  all 
means.  The  Lord  he  with  you  all.

and  of  a good  conscience,  and  of 
faith  unfeigned : 

6 From  which  some  ^ having 
swerved  have  turned  aside  unto 
^vain  jangling ; 

7 Desiring  to  be  teachers  ot  the 
law;  understanding  neither  what 
they  say,  nor  whereof  they  affirni. 

8 But  we  know  that  Hhe  law  is 
good,  if  a man  use  it  lawfully ; 

9 Knowing  this,  that  the  law  is 
not  made  for  a righteous  man,  but 
for  the  lawless  and  disobedient,  for 
the  ungodly  and  for  sinners,  for  un- 
holy and  profane,  for  murderers  of 
fathers  and  murderers  of  mothers, 
for  manslayers, 

10  For  whoremongers,  for  them 
that  defile  themselves  with  man- 
kind, for  menstealers,  for  liars,  for 
perjured  persons,  and  if  there  be 
any  other  thing  that  is  contrary  ""to 
sound  doctrine ; 

1 1 According  to  the  glorious  gos- 
pel of  the  blessed  God,  which  was 
committed  to  my  trust. 

12  And  I thank  -Christ  Je-siis  our 
Lord,  “who  hath  enabled  me,  *for 
that  he  counted  me  faithful,  ‘'put- 
ting me  into  the  ministry ; 

13  ®Who  was  before  a blasphemer, 
and  a persecutor,  and  injurious : 
but  I obtained  mercy,  because 
did  it  ignorantly  in  unbelief. 

14  '‘And  the  grace  of  our  Lord  was 
exceeding  abundant  * with  faith 
*=and  love  which  is  in  -Christ  Je-sus. 

15  'This  is  a faithful  saying,  and 
worthy  of  all  acceptation,  that 
^-Christ  Je-sus  came  into  the  world 
to  save  sinners ; of  whom  I am  chief. 

16  Howbeit  for  this  cause  ob- 
tained mercy,  that  in  me  first  Je-sus 
Christ  might  shew  forth  all  long- 
suffering,  ’■for  a pattern  t9  them 
which  should  hereafter  believe  on 
him  to  life  everlasting. 

17  Now  unto  *the  King  eternal, 
' immortal,  “ invisible,  * the  only 
wise  God,  be  honour  and  glory 
for  ever  and  ever.  A-m6n'. 

18  This  charge  commit  unto 
thee,  son  Tim-6-thy,  "according  to 
the  prophecies  which  went  before

2 For  kings,  and  for  all  that  are 
in  ^ authority ; that  we  may  lead  a 
quiet  and  peaceable  life  in  all  god- 
liness and  honesty. 

3 For  this  is  good  and  acceptable 
in  the  sight  of  God  our  Saviour  ; 

4 Who  will  have  all  men  to  be 
saved,  "and  to  come  unto  the 
knowledge  of  the  truth. 

5 “For  there  is  one  God,  and  ^ one 
mediator  between  God  and  men, 
the  man  -Christ  Je-sus; 

6 “^Who  gave  himself  a ransom  for 
all,  ’■  to  be  testified  * in  due  time. 

7 'Whereunto  I am  ordained  a 
preacher,  and  an  apostle,  (“I  speak 
the  truth  in  Christ,  and  lie  not ;)  a 
teacher  of  the  Gen-tiles  in  faith  and 
verity. 

8 I will  therefore  that  men  pray 
"every  where,  lifting  up  holy  hands, 
without  wrath  and  doubting. 

9 In  like  manner  also,  that  ‘’wo- 
men adorn  themselves  in  modest 
apparel,  with  shamefacedness  and 
sobriety;  not  with  ^broided  hair, 
or  gold,  or  pearls,  or  costly  array ; 

10  ^But  (which  becometh  women 
professing  godliness)  with  good 
works. 

1 1 Let  the  woman  learn  in  silence 
with  all  subjection. 

1 2 But  ^ I suffer  not  a woman  to 
teach,  nor  to  usurp  authority  over 
the  man,  but  to  be  in  silence. 

13  For  ‘’Ad-am  was  first  formed, 

then  Eve.  „ , . i 

14  And  « Ad-am  was  not  deceived, 
but  the  woman  being  deceived  was 
in  the  transgression. 

15  Notwithstanding  she  shall  be 
saved  in  childbearing,  if  they  con- 
tinue in  faith  and  charity  and  holi- 
ness with  sobriety. 

CHAPTER  3. 

2 Qualifications  of  bishops  and  deacons.  16  Of  the 
church,  and  the  blessed  truth  taught  therein. 

This  is  a true  saying.  If  a man 
desire  the  office  of  a “bishop, 
he  desireth  a good  work. 


The  qualifications  of 


1.  TIMOTHY,  4,  5. 


bishops  and  deacons 


2 “A  bishop  then  must  be  blame- 
less, the  husband  of  one  wife,  vi- 
gilant, sober,  ^ of  good  behaviour, 
given  to  hospitality^  ^apt  to  teach ; 

3 ^Not  given  to  wine,  -^no  striker, 
'"not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre  ; but  pa- 
tient, not  a brawler,  not  covetous  ; 

4 One  that  ruleth  well  his  own 
house,  ^having  his  children  in  sub- 
jection with  all  gravity ; 

5 (For  if  a man  know  not  how  to 
rule  his  own  house,  how  shall  he 
take  care  of  the  church  of  Godh 

6 Not  ^a  novice,  lest  being  lifted 
up  with  pride  he  fall  into  the  con- 
demnation of  the  devil. 

7 Moreover  he  must  have  a good 
report  ""of  them  which  are  without ; 
lest  he  fall  into  reproach  "and  the 
snare  of  the  devil. 

8 Likewise  must  ^the  deacons  he 
grave,  not  doubletongued,  * not 
given  to  much  wine,  not  greedy 
of  filthy  lucre; 

9 ""  Holding  the  mystery  of  the 
faith  in  a pure  conscience. 

10  And  let  these  also  first  be 
proved ; then  let  them  use  the 
office  of  a deacon,  being  found 
blameless. 

11  ^Even  so  must  their  wives  he 
grave,  not  slanderers,  sober,  faith- 
ful in  all  things. 

12  Let  the  deacons  be  the  hus- 
bands of  one  wife,  ruling  their 
children  and  their  own  houses 
well. 

13  For  they  that  have  ®used  the 
office  of  a deacon  well  purchase  to 
themselves  a good  degree,  and  great 
boldness  in  the  faith  which  is  in 
•Christ  Je-siis. 

14  These  things  write  I unto  thee, 
hoping  to  come  unto  thee  shortly : 

15  But  if  I tarry  long,  that  thou 
mayest  know  how  thou  oughtest 
to  behave  thyself  -^in  the  house  of 
God,  which  is  the  church  of  the 
living  God,  the  pillar  and  Aground 
of  the  truth. 

16  And  without  controversy  great 
is  the  mystery  of  godliness  ; * God 
was  f manifest  in  the  flesh,  ^justi- 
fied in  the  Spirit,  ^seen  of  angels, 

preached  unto  the  Gen- tiles,  "^be- 
lieved on  in  the  world,  received 
up  into  glory.

which  God  hath  created  ^to  be  re- 
ceived "with  thanksgiving  of  them 
which  believe  and  know  the  truth. 

4 For  ^ every  creature  of  God  is 
good,  and  nothing  to  be  refused,  if 
it  be  received  with  thanksgiving; 

5 For  it  is  sanctified  by  the  word 
of  God  and  prayer. 

6 If  thou  put  the  brethren  in  re- 
membrance of  these  things,  thou 
shalt  be  a good  minister  of  Je-sus 
■Christ,  """nourished  up  in  the  words 
of  faith  and  of  good  doctrine,  where- 
unto  thou  hast  attained. 

7 But  ^refuse  profane  and  old 
wives’  fables,  and  ® exercise  thyself 
rather  unto  godliness. 

8 For  * bodily  exercise  profiteth 
^little:  but  godliness  is  profitable 
unto  all  things,  “having  promise  of 
the  life  that  now  is,  and  of  that 
which  is  to  come.

worthy  of  all  acceptation. 

10  For  therefore  ^we  both  labour 
and  suffer  reproach,  because  we 
trust  in  the  living  God,  “who  is 
the  Saviour  of  all  men,  specially 
of  those  that  believe.

teach.

lievers, in  word,  in  conversation, 
in  charity,  in  spirit,  in  faith,  in 
purity. 

1 3 Till  I come,  give  attendance  to 
reading,  to  exhortation,  to  doctrine.

in  thee,  which  was  given  thee  ‘^by 
prophecy,  "with  the  laying  on  of 
the  hands  of  the  presbytery. 

15  Meditate  upon  these  things; 
give  thyself  wholly  to  them ; that 
thy  profiting  may  appear  ’to  all. 

16  ^Take  heed  unto  thyself,  and 
unto  the  doctrine ; continue  in 
them ; for  in  doing  this  thou  shalt 
both  *save  thyself,  and  them  that 
hear  thee. 

CHAPTER  5. 

1 Rules  to  he  observed  in  reproving.  3 Of  widows.  17  Of 
elders.  23  A precept  for  Timothy’s  health.

treat him  as  a father ; and  the 
younger  men  as  brethren ; 

2 The  elder  women  as  mothers ; the 
younger  as  sisters,  with  all  purity. 
3 Honour  widows  that  are  widows 
indeed.  ^

or  nephews,  let  them  learn  first  to 
shew^piety  athome,  and  “to  requite

their  parents  : for  that  is  good  and 
acceptable  before  God. 

5 =Now  she  that  is  a widow  in- 
deed, and  desolate,  trusteth  in  God, 
and  ‘^continueth  in  supplications 
and  prayers  ® night  and  day. 

6 -^But  she  that  liyeth  4n  pleasure 
is  dead  while  she  liveth. 

7 And  these  things  give  in  charge, 
that  they  may  be  blameless. 

8 But  if  any  provide  not  for  his 
own,  '^and  specially  for  those  of  his 
own  house,  *he  hath  denied  the 
faith,  *and  is  worse  than  an  infidel. 

9 Let  not  a widow  be  Haken  into 
the  number  under  threescore  years 
old,  having  been  the  wife  of  one 
man, 

10  Well  reported  of  for  good  works ; 
if  she  have  brought  up  children, 
if  she  have  lodged  strangers,  if 
she  have  ® washed  the  saints’  feet,^ 
if  she  have  relieved  the  afflicted,  if 
she  have  diligently  followed  every 
good  work. 

1 1 But  the  younger  widows  refuse : 
for  when  they  have  begun  to  wax 
wanton  against  -Ghrist,  they  will 
marry ; 

12  Having  damnation,  because  they 
have  cast  off  their  first  faith. 

13  "'And  withal  they  learn  to  he 
idle,  wandering  about  from  house 
to  house;  and  not  only  idle,  but 
tattlers  also  and  busybodies,  speak- 
ing things  which  they  ought  not. 

14  “I  will  therefore  that  the 
younger  women  marry,  bear  chil- 
dren, guide  the  house,  ^give  none 
occasion  to  the  adversary  Ho  speak 
reproachfully. 

15  For  some  are  already  turned 
aside  after  8aHan. 

1 6 If  any  man  or  woman  that  be- 
lieveth  have  widows,  let  them  re- 
lieve them,  and  let  not  the  church 
be  charged;  that  it  may  relieve 
them  that  are  widows  indeed. 

17  ‘'Let  the  elders  that  rule  well 
*be  counted  worthy  of  double  hon- 
our, especially  they  who  labour  in 
the  word  and  doctrine. 

18  For  the  scripture  saith,  '‘Thou 
shalt  not  muzzle  the  ox  that  tread- 
eth  out  the  corn.  And,  * The  la- 
bourer is  worthy  of  his  reward. 

19  Against  an  elder  receive  not 
an  accusation,  but  'before  ^two  or 
three  witnesses. 

20  "‘Them  that  sin  rebuke  before 
all,  that  others  also  may  fear. 

21  “I  charge  thee  before  God,  and 
the  Lord  Je-sus  -Christ,  and  the 
elect  angels,  that  thou  observe 
these  things  ^without  preferring 
one  before  another,  doing  nothing 
by  partiality.

is  to  fly,  and  what  to  follow,  17  and  whereof  to  admon- 
ish the  rich. 

Let  as  many  'servants  as  are  un- 
i der  the  yoke  count  their  own 
masters  wortlw  of  all  honour,  "‘that 
the  name  of  God  and  his  doctrine 
be  not  blasphemed. 

2 And  they  that  have  believing 
masters,  let  them  not  despise  them, 
^ because  they  are  brethren ; but 
rather  do  them  service,  because 
they  are  ^ faithful  and  beloved, 
partakers  of  the  benefit.  These 
things  teach  and  exhort. 

3 If  any  man  teach  otherwise,  and 
consent  ^not  to  wholesome  words, 
even  the  words  of  our  Lord  Je-sus 
■Christ,  "and  to  the  doctrine  which 
is  according  to  godliness  ; 

4 He  is  ^proud,  * knowing  nothing, 
but  '’doting  about  questions  and 
strifes  of  words,  whereof  cometh 
envy,  strife,  railings,  evil  surmis- 
ings, 

5 Perverse®  disputings  of  men 
of  corrupt  minds,  and  destitute  of 
the  truth,  ^supposing  that  gain  is 
godliness  : “ from  such  withdraw 
thyself. 

6 But  ''godliness  with  contentment 
is  great  gain. 

7 For  ‘'we  brought  nothing  into 
this  world,  and  it  is  certain  we  can 
carry  nothing  out. 

8 And  •''having  food  and  raiment 
let  us  be  therewith  content. 

9 But  ^they  that  will  be  rich  fall 
into  temptation  and  a snare,  and 
into  many  foolish  and  hurtful  lusts, 
wbich  drown  men  in  destruction 
and  perdition. 

10  '''For  the  love  of  money  is  the 
root  of  all  evil : which  while  some 
coveted  after,  they  have  Hrred  from 
tbe  faith,  and  pierced  themselves 
through  with  many  sorrows. 

11  But  thou,  "O  man  of  God,  flee 
these  things ; and  follow  after  right- 
eousness, godliness,  faith,  love,  pa- 
tience, meekness. 

12  ^ Fight  the  good  fight  of  faith, 
^lay  hold  on  eternal  life,  where-

of  God,  -^who  quickeneth  all  things, 
and  before  -Ohrist  Je-sus,  ^who  be-

good  ^ confession ; 

14  That  thou  keep  this  command- 
ment without  spot,  unrebukeable, 
""until  the  appearing  of  our  Lord 
Je-sus  -Ghrist: 

15  Which  in  his  times  he  shall 
shew,  who  is  the  blessed  and  only 
Potentate,  ^the  King  of  kings,  and 
Lord  of  lords ; 

16  Who  only  hath  immortality, 
dwelling  in  the  light  which  no  man

hath  seen,  nor  can  see  : "'to  whom

PAUL,  an  apostle  of  Je-sus  -Christ

to  “the  promise  of  life  which  is  in 
Christ  Je^us, 

2 To  Tim-0-thy,  my  dearly  beloved

God  the  Father  and  Christ  Je-sus

3 " I thank  God,  *whom  I serve 
from  my  forefathers  with  pure  con- 
science, that  'without  ceasing  I have 
remembrance  of  thee  in  my  prayers 
night  and  day ;

be  filled  with  joy  ;

which  dwelt  first  in  thy  grand-

on  of  my  hands.

spirit  of  fear;  “but  of  power,  and  of 
love,  and  of  a sound  mind.

refreshed  me,  and  was  not  ashamed 
of  *my  chain : 

17  But,  when  he  was  in  Home,  he 
sought  me  out  very  diligently,  and 
found  me. 

18  The  Lord  grant  unto  him  that 
he  may  find  mercy  of  the  Lord  ‘^in 
that  day  : and  in  how  many  things 
he -^ministered  unto  me  at  Eph-e- 
sus,  thou  knowest  very  well. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 An  exhortation  to  constancy  and,  perseverance.  19  The 
foundation  of  the  Lord  is  sure. 

Thou  therefore,  *my  son,  *be 
strong  in  the  grace  that  is  in 
■Christ  Je-sus. 

2  And  the  things  that  thou  hast 
heard  of  me  ^ among  many  wit- 
nesses, the  same  commit  thou  to 
faithful  men,  who  shall  be  able  to 
teach  others  also. 

3  Thou  therefore  endure  hardness, 
"‘as  a good  soldier  of  Je-siis  -Christ. 

4  ”No  man  that  warreth  entangleth 
himself  with  the  afiairs  of  this  life ; 
that  he  may  please  him  who  hath 
chosen  him  to  be  a soldier. 

5  And  if  a man  also  strive  for 
masteries,  yet^  is  he  not  crowned, 
except  he  strive  lawfully. 

6  ‘‘The  husbandman  that  laboureth 
must  be  first  partaker  of  the  fruits. 

7  Consider  what  I say ; and  the 
Lord  give  thee  understanding  in 
all  things. 

8  Remember  that  Je-sus  -Christ  ^of 
the  seed  of  Da-vid  ^was  raised  from 
the  dead  according  to  my  gospel : 

9  * Wherein  I suffer  trouble,  as  an 
evil  doer,  ^even  unto  bonds;  ‘^but 
the  word  of  God  is  not  bound. 

10  Therefore  endure  all  things 
for  the  elect’s  sakes,  that  they  may 
also  obtain  the  salvation  which  is 
in  Christ  J e-stis  with  eternal  glory. 

W It  is  a faithful  saying : For  ^ if 
we  be  dead  with  him,  we  shall  also 
live  with  him : 

12  * If  we  suffer,  we  shall  also 
reign  with  him:  "if  we  deny  him, 
he  also  will  deny  us : 

13  ^If  we  believe  not,  yet  he  abideth 
faithful : he  cannot  deny  himself. 

14  Of  these  things  put  them  in 
remembrance,  "charging  them  be- 
fore the  Lord  that  they  strive  not 
about  words  to  no  profit,  but  to 
the  subverting  of  the  hearers. 

15  Study  to  shew  thyself  approved 
unto  God,  a workman  that  needeth 
not  to  be  ashamed,  rightly  dividing 
the  word  of  truth. 

16  But  ^'shun  profane  and  vain 
babblings : for  they  will  increase 
unto  more  ungodliness.

TPTtJS. 


CHAPTER  1. 


6 Qualifications  of  ministers.  11  Of  evil  teachers. 

PAUL,  a servant  of  God,  and  an 
'apostle  of  Je-sus-Ghrist,  accord- 
ing to  the  faith  of  God’s  elect,  and 
®the  acknowledging  of  the  truth 
which  is  after  godliness ; 

2 “^In^  hope  of  eternal  life,  which 
God,  •'that  cannot  lie,  promised  -^be- 
fore the  world  began ; 

3 ^But  hath  in  due  times  mani- 
fested his  word  through  preaching, 
'‘which  is  committed  unto  me  ac- 
cording to  the  commandment  of 
God  our  Saviour  ; 

4 To  *Ti-tus,  mine  own  son  after 
the  common  faith : * Grace,  mercy, 
and  peace,  from  God  the  Father 
and  the  Lord  Je-siis  -Christ  our 


Saviour. 

5 For  this  cause  left  I thee  in 
■Crete,  that  thou  shouldest  'set  in 
order  the  things  that  are  ^wanting, 
and  ordain  elders  in  every  city,  as 
I had  appointed  thee : 

6 "‘If  any  be  blameless,  the  husband 
of  one  wife,  ® having  faithful  chil- 
dren not  accused  of  riot  or  unruly. 

7 For  a bishop  must  be  blameless, 
as  ®the  steward  of  God ; not  self- 
willed,  not  soon  angry,  "not  given 
to  wine,  no  striker,  not  given  to 
filthy  lucre ; 

8 'But  a lover  of  hospitality,  a 
lover  of  ®good  men,  sober,  just, 
holy,  temperate ; 

9 Holding  fast  the  faithful  word 
^as  he  hath  been  taught,  that  he 
may  be  able  ^by  sound  doctrine 
both  to  exhort  and  to  convince 
the  gainsayers. 

10  For  '’there  are  many  unruly 
and  vain  talkers  and  deceiyers,  ‘'spe- 
cially they  of  the  circumcision  : 

1 1 Whose  mouths  must  be  stopped, 
*who  subvert  whole  houses,  teach- 
ing things  which  they  ought  not, 
for  filthy  lucre’s  sake. 

12  '‘One  of  themselves,  even  a pro- 
phet of  their  own^  said,  The  -Cre^ 
tians  are  alway  liars,  evil  beasts,

1 3 This  witness  is  true.  Wherefore 

rebuke  them  sharply,  that  they  may

Directions  to  Titus  for  doctrine  and  life. 

But  speak  thou  the  things  which 
become  sound  doctrine : 

2  That  the  aged  men  be  ^ sober, 
grave,  temperate,  sound  in  faith,  in 
charity,  in  patience. 

3  The  aged  women  likewise,  that 
they  he  in  behaviour  as  becometh 
^holiness,  not  ® false  accusers,  not 
given  to  much  wine,  teachers  of 
good  things; 

4  That  they  may  teach  the  young 
women  to  be  ''sober,  to  love  their 
husbands,  to  love  their  children, 

5  To  he  discreet,  chaste,  keepers  at 
home,  good,  "obedient  to  their  own 
husbands,  ^that  the  word  of  God  be 
not  blasphemed. 

6  Young  men  likewise  exhort  to 
be  ® sober  minded. 

7  Hn  all  things  shewing  thyself  a 
pattern  of  good  works  : in  doctrine 
shewing  uncorruptness,  gravity, 
"sincerity, 

8  Sound  speech,  that  cannot  be 
condemned ; * that  he  that  is  of 
the  contrary  part  may  be  ashamed, 
having  no  evil  thing  to  say  of  you. 

9  Eo^ort  * servants  to  be  obedient 
unto  their  own  masters,  and  to 
please  them  well  “in  all  things ; not 
^answering  again ; 

10  Not  purloining,  but  shewing  all 
good  fidelity ; ‘'that  they  may  adorn 
the  doctrine  of  God  our  Sawiour  in 
all  things. 

11  For  •''the  grace  of  God  nhat 
bringeth  salvation  ^ hath  appeared 
to  all  men, 

12  Teaching  us  ‘that,  denying  un- 
godliness *and  worldly  lusts,  we 
should  live  soberly,  righteously,  and 
godly,  in  this  present  world  ; 

13  'Lookingfor  that  blessed  "‘hope, 
and  the  glorious  ‘’  appearing  of  the 
great  God  and  our  Saviour  Je-sus

14  ‘'Who  gave  himself  for  us,  that

he  might  redeem  us  from  all  in-

hort, and  rebuke  with  all  authority. 
^'Let  no  man  despise  thee. 

CHAPTER  3. 

1 Titus  is  yet  further  directed  by  Paul,  both  concerning  the 
things  he  should  teach,  and  not  teach.  10  He  is  willed 
also  to  reject  obstinate  hereticks. 

PUT  them  in  mind  to  be  subject 
to  principalities  and  powers,  to 
•obey  magistrates.  Ho  be  ready  to 
every  good  work, 

2  '"To  speak  evil  of  no  man,  "to  be 
no  brawlers,  but  gentle,  shewing  all 
meekness  unto  all  men. 

3  For « we  ourselves  also  were  some- 
times foolish,  disobedient,  deceived, 
serving  divers  lusts  and  pleasures, 
living  in  malice  and  envy,  hateful, 
and  hating  one  another. 

4  But  after  that  the  kindness  and 
Hove  of  God  our  Saviour  toward 
man  appeared, 

5  ^Not  by  works  of  righteousness 
which  we  have  done,  but  according 
to  his  mercy  he  saved  us,  by  *the 
washing  of  regeneration,  and  re- 
newing of  the  Holy  Ghost ; 

6  "Which  he  shed  on  us  ^abun- 
dantly through  Je-sus  -Christ  our 
Saviour;

9 Thou  hast  loved  righteousness, 
and  hated  iniquity ; therefore  God,

with  the  oil  of  gladness  above  thy 
fellows. 

10  And,  ®Thou,  Lord,  in  the  be-

the  earth ; and  the  heavens  are  the 
works  of  thine  hands  :

12  And  as  a vesture  shalt  thou

changed : but  thou  art  the  same, 
and  thy  years  shall  not  fail. 

13  But  to  which  of  the  angels  said

a just  recompence  of  reward ;

dignity  of  Christ, 


3 “How  shall  we  escape,  if  we 
neglect  so  great  salvation ; * which 
at  the  first  began  to  be  spoken  by 
the  Lord,  and  was  confirmed  unto 
us  by  them  that  heard  him ; 

4 ^ God  also  bearing  them  witness, 
«both  with  signs  and  wonders,  and 
with  divers  miracles,  and  -^gifts^  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  according  to  his 
own  wilu 

5 For  unto  the  angels  hath  he 
not  put  in  subjection  '^the  world  to 
come,  whereof  we  speak. 

6 But  one  in  a certain  place  testi- 
fied, saying,  *What  is  man,  that  thou 
art  mindful  of  himl  or  the  son  of 
man,  that  thou  visitest  himi 

7 Thou  madest  him  ^a  little  lower 
than  the  angels : thou  crownedst  him 
with  glory  and  honour,  and  didst  set 
him  over  the  works  of  thy  hands  : 

8 ”Thou  hast  put  all  things  in  sub- 
jection under  his  feet.  For  in  that 
he  put  all  in  subjection  under  him, 
he  left  nothing  that  is  not  put  un- 
der him.  But  now  ^ we  see  not  yet 
all  things  put  under  him. 

9 But  we  see  Je-sus,  *who  was 
made  a little  lower  than  the  angels 
^for  the  suffering  of  death,  “crowned 
with  glory  and  honour  ; that  he  by 
the  grace  of  God  should  taste  death 
^for  every  man. 

10  “For  it  became  him,  *for  whom 
ai-e  all  things,  and  by  whom  are 
all  things,  in  bringing  many  sons 
unto  glory,  to  make  ®the  captain 
of  their  salvation  -^perfect  through 
sufferings. 

11  For  both  he  that  sanctifieth 
and  they  who  are  sanctified  ^are  all 
of  one : for  whjlch  cause  '"he  is  not 
ashamed  to  call  them  brethren, 

12  iSaying,  G will  declare  thy 
name  unto  my  brethren,  in  the 
midst  of  the  church  will  I sing 
praise  unto  thee. 

13  And  again,  will  put  my 
trust  in  him.  And  again,  'Behold 
I and  the  children  ""which  God 
hath  given  me. 

14  Forasmuch  then  as  the  children 
are  partakers  of  flesh  and  blood, 
he  “also  himself  likewise  took  part 
of  the  same ; “ that  through  death 
he  might  destroy  him  that  had  the 
power  of  death,  that  is,  the  devil ; 

15  And  deliver  them  who/ through 
fear  of  death  were  all  their  lifetime 
subject  to  bondage. 

16  For  verily  ®he  took  not  on  him 
the  nature  of  angels  ^ but  he  took 
on  him  the  seed  of  A-bra-ham. 

17  Wherefore  in  all  things  it  be- 
hoved him  "to  be  made  like  unto  his 
brethren,  that  he  might  be  ®a  merci-

CHAPTER  3. 

1 Christ  is  more  worthy  than  Moses,  7 therefore  the  more 
to  be  regarded. 

WHEREFORE,  holy  brethren. 

partakers  of  the  ^heavenly 
calling,  consider  Hhe  Apostle  and 
High  Priest  of  our  profession, 
■Christ  Je-siis; 

2  Who  was  faithful  to  him  that 
^appointed  him,  as  also  'Mo-§es 
was  faithful  in  all  his  house. 

3  For  this  man  was  counted  worthy 
of  more  glory  than  Mo-ses,  inasmuch 
as  ""he  who  hath  builded  the  house 
hath  more  honour  than  the  house. 

4  For  every  house  is  builded  by 
some  mcin;  but  ‘’he  that  built  all 
things  is  God. 

5  And  Mo-ses  verily  was  faithful 
in  all  his  house,  as  «a  servant,  "for 
a testimony  of  those  things  which 
were  to  he  spoken  after ; 

6  But  -Christ  as  'a  son  over  his 
own  house;  "'whose  house  are  we, 
^'if  we  hold  fast  the  confidence  and 
the  rejoicing  of  the  hope  firm  unto 
the  end. 

7  Wherefore  (as  ‘'the  Holy  Ghost 
saith,  "'To  day  if  ye  will  hear  his 
voice, 

8  Harden  not  your  hearts,  as  in 
the  provocation,  in  the  day  of  temp- 
tation in  the  wilderness : 

9  When  your  fathers  tempted  me, 
proved  me,  and  saw  my  works  forty 
years. 

10  Wherefore  I was  grieved  with 
that  generation,  and  said.  They  do 
alway  err  in  their  heart ; and  they 
have  not  known  my  ways. 

1 1  So  I sware  in  my  wrath,  ®They 
shall  not  enter  into  my  rest.) 

1 2  Take  heed,  brethren,  lest  there 
be  in  any  of  you  an  evil  heart  of 
unbelief,  in  departing  from  the  liv- 
ing God. 

1 3  But  exhort  one  another  daily, 
while  it  is  called  To  day ; lest  any 
of  you  be  hardened  through  the 
deceitfulness  of  sin. 

14  For  we  are  made  partakers  of 
Christ,  if  we  hold  the  beginning 
of  our  confidence  stedfast  unto  the 

end ; , i • c 

15  While  it  is  said.  To  day  if  ye 
will  hear  his  voice,  harden  not  your 
hearts,  as  in  the  provocation. 

16  ®For  some,  when  they  had 
heard,  did  provoke  : howbeit  not  all 
that  came  out  of  E-gypt  by  Mo-se§.

18  And  Ho  whom  sware  he  that 
they  should  not  enter  into  his  rest, 
but  to  them  that  believed  not '?  • 

19  So  we  see  that  they  could  not 
enter  in  because  of  unbelief. 

CHAPTER  4.  /Eph.2.18. 

1 The  rest  of  Christians  is  attained  by  faith.  12  The  power 
of  God  s word.  14  By  our  high  priest  Jesus,  16  we  must 
go  boldly  to  the  throne  of  grace. 

IET  ^us  therefore  fear,  lest,  a pro- 
J mise  being  left  us  of  entering 
into  his  rest,  any  of  you  should  seem 
to  come  short  of  it. 

2  For  unto  us  was  the  gospel 
preached,  as  well  as  unto  them: 
but  Hhe  word  preached  did  not 
profit  them,  ^not  being  mixed  with 
faith  in  them  that  heard  it. 

3  For  we  which  have  believed  do 
enter  into  rest,  as  he  said,  '"As  I 
have  sworn  in  my  wrath,  if  they 
shall  enter  into  my  rest : although 
the  works  were  finished  from  the 
foundation  of  the  world. 

4  For  he  spake  in  a certain  place 
of  the  seventh  daxy  on  this  wise, 

^And  God  did  rest  the  seventh  day 
from  all  his  works. 

5  And  in  this  place  again.  If  they 
shall  enter  into  my  rest. 

6  Seeing  therefore  it  remaineth 
that  some  must  enter  therein,  and 
they  to  whom  '‘it  was  first  preached 
entered  not  in  because  of  unbelief : 

7  Again,  he  limiteth  a certain  day, 
saying  in  Da-vid,  To  day,  after  so 
long  a time ; as  it  is  said,  ^ To  day 
if  ye  will  hear  his  voice,  harden 
not  your  hearts. 

8  lor  if  ®Je-sus  had  given  them 
rest,  then  would  he  not  afterward 
have  spoken  of  another  day. 

9  There  remaineth  therefore 
’rest  to  the  people  of  God. 

10  For  he  that  is  entered  into 
his  rest,  he  also  hath  ceased  from 
his  own  works,  as  God  did  from 
his. 

1 1  Let  us  labour  therefore  to  enter 
into  that  rest,  lest  any  man  fall  after 
the  same  example  of  ® unbelief. 

12  For  the  word  of  God  is  “quick 
and  powerful,  and  ® sharper  than 
any  ‘^twoedged  sword,  piercing  even 
to  the  dividing  asunder  of  soul  and 
spirit,  and  of  the  joints  and  marrow, 
and  is  ®a  discerner  of  the  thoughts 
and  intents  of  the  heart. 

13  Neither  is  there  any  creature 
that  is  not  manifest  in  nis  sight : 
but  all  things  are  naked  * and 
opened  unto  the  eyes  of  him  with 
■v^iom  we  have  to  do.

high  priest,  that  is  passed  into  the

us  hold  fast  our  profession. 

15  For  ‘'we  have  not  an  high  priest 
which  cannot  be  touched  with  the 
feeling  of  our  infirmities;  but  ‘^was 
in  all  points  tempted  like  as  we  are, 
^yet  without  sin. 

16  -^Let  us  therefore  come  boldly 
unto  the  throne  of  grace,  that  we 
may  obtain  mercy,  and  find  grace 
to  help  in  time  of  need. 

CHAPTER  5. 

1 The  authority  of  our  Saviour’s  priesthood.  11  Negligence 
in  the  kno  wledge  thereof  is  reproved. 

For  every  high  priest  taken  from 
among  men  is  ordained  for  men 
in  things  pertaining  to  God,  that  he 
may  ofer  both  gifts  and  sacrifices 
for  sins : 

2 Who  ^can  have  compassion  on 
the  ignorant,  and  on  them  that  are 
out  of  the  way ; for  that  he  himself 
also  is  compassed  with  infirmity. 

3 And  *by  reason  hereof  he  ought, 
as  for  the  people,  so  also  for  him- 
self, to  offer  for  sins. 

4 * And  no  inan  taketh  this  honour 
unto  himself,  but  he  that  is  called 
of  God,  as  '"^was  Aar-bn. 

5 ”So  also  -Christ  glorified  not  him- 
self to  be  made  an  high  priest ; but 
he  that  said  unto  him,  “Thou  art  my 
Son,  to  day  have  I begotten  thee. 

6 As  he  saith  also  in  another 
place,  ^'Thou  art  a priest  for  ever 
after  the  order  of  Mbl-chis-e-dbe. 

7 Who  in  the  days  of  his  fiesh, 
when  he  had  ^offered  up  prayers 
and  supplications  *with  strong  cry- 
ing and  tears  unto  him  Hhat  was 
ble  to  save  him  from  death,  and 
was  heard  “in®  that  he  feared ; 

8 * Though  he  were  a Son,  yet 
learned  he  ^obedience  by  the  things 
which  he  suffered ; 

9 And  being  made  perfect,  he  be- 
came the  author  of  eternal  salva- 
tion unto  all  them  that  obey  him ; 

10  Called  of  God  an  high  priest 
after  the  order  of  Mel-ehis-b-dbe. 

1 1 Of  whom  "we  have  many  things 
to  say,  and  hard  to  be  uttered,  see- 
ing ye  are  Mull  of  hearing. 

1 2 For  when  for  the  time  ye  ought 
to  be  teachers,  ye  have  need  that 
one  teach  you  again  which  he  the 
first  principles  of  the  oracles  of  God : 
and  are  become  such  as  have  need

13  For  every  one  that  useth  milk 
^is  unskilful  in  the  word  of  right- 
eousness : for  he  is  "a  babe. 

14  But  strong  meat  belongeth  to 
them  that  are  ‘of  full  age,  even

CHAPTER  6. 

1 An  exhortation  to  he  stedfast  in  th^  faith,  13  seeing 
God  is  most  sure  in  his  prmnise. 

Therefore  ® leaving  Hhe  prin- 
ciples of  the  doctrine  of  -Christ, 
let  us  go  on  unto  perfection ; not 
laying  again  the  foundation  of  re- 
pentance ^from  dead  works,  and  of 
faith  toward  God, 

2  '‘Of  the  doctrine  of  baptisms, 
‘and  of  laying  on  of  hands,  *and 
of  resurrection  of  the  dead,  ^and 
of  eternal  judgment. 

3  And  this  will  we  do,  ”if  God 
permit. 

4  For  ^it  is  impossible  for  those 
^■who  were  once  enlightened,  and 
have  tasted  of  Hhe  heavenly  gift, 
and  *were  made  partakers  of  the 
Holy  Ghost, 

5  And  have  tasted  the  good  word 
of  God,  and  the  powers  of  “the

6  If  they  shall  fall  away,  to  renew 
them  again  unto  repentance ; ^see- 
ing they  crucify  to  themselves  the 
Son  of  God  afresh,  and  put  him  to 
an  open  shame. 

7  For  the  earth  which  drinketh  in 
the  rain  that  cometh  oft  upon  it, 
and  bringeth  forth  herbs  meet  for 
them  ^by  whom  it  is  dressed,  ^re- 
ceiveth  blessing  from  God : 

8  “But  that  which  beareth  thorns 
and  briers  is  rejected,  and  is  nigh 
unto  cursing ; whose  end  is  to  be 
burned. 

9  But,  beloved,  we  are  persuaded 
better  things  of  you,  and  things 
that  accompany  salvation,  though 
we  thus  speak. 

10  ‘'For  ®God  is  not  unrighteous 
to  forget  •''your  work  and  labour  of 
love,  which  ye  have  shewed  toward 
his  name,  in  that  ye  have  minis- 
tered to  the  saints,  and  do  min- 
ister. 

1 1  And  we  desire  that  ^ every  one 
of  you  do  shew  the  same  diligence 
Ho  the  full  assurance  of  hope  unto 
the  end : 

12  That  ye  be  not  slothful,  but 
followers  of  them  who  through  faith 
and  patience  "‘inherit  the  promises. 

13  For  when  God  made  promise  to 
A- bra-ham,  because  he  could  swear 
by  no  greater,  "he  sware  by  him- 
self, 

14  Saying,  Surely  blessing  I will 
bless  thee,  and  multiplying  I will 
multiply  thee. 

15  Ana  so,  after  he  had  patiently 
endured,  he  obtained  the  promise.

For  this  *Mel-chis-6-d6e,  king  of 
Sadem,  priest  of  the  most  high 
God,  who  met  A-bra-ham  returning 
from  the  slaughter  of  the  kings,  and 
blessed  him ; 

2  To  whom  also  A-bra-ham  gave  a 
tenth  part  of  all ; first  being  by  in- 
terpretation King  of  righteousness, 
and  after  that  also  King  of  Sadem, 
which  is.  King  of  peace  ; 

3  Without  father,  without  mother, 
without  descent,  having  neither 
beginning  of  days,  nor  end  of  life ; 
but  made  like  unto  the  Son  of  God ; 
abideth  a priest  continually. 

4  Now  consider  how  great  this 
man  was,  f unto  whom  even  the 
patriarch  A-bra-ham  gave  the  tenth 
of  the  spoils. 

5  And  verily  ‘’they  that  are  of  the 
sons  of  LeHl,  who  receive  the  office 
of  the  priesthood,  have  a command- 
ment to  take  tithes  of  the  people 
according  to  the  law,  that  is,  of 
their  brethren,  though  they  come 
out  of  the  loins  of  A-bra-ham : 

6  But  he  whose  ® descent  is^  not 
counted  from  them  received  tithes 
of  A-bra-ham,  *and  blessed  'him 
that  had  the  promises. 

7  And  without  all  contradiction 
the  less  is  blessed  of  the  better. 

8  And  here  men  that  die  receive 
tithes ; but  there  he  receiveth  them, 
”of  whom  it  is  witnessed  that  he 
liveth. 

9  And  as  I maj^  so  say,  Le-vi  also, 
who  receiveth  tithes,  payed  tithes 
in  A-bra-ham. 

10  For  he  was  yet  in  the  loins 
of  his  father,  when  M6l-ehis-6-de€ 
met  him. 

1 1  ^’If  therefore  perfection  were  by 


218 


Christ's  unchangeable 

the  Le-vit4e-al  priesthood,  (for  un- 
der it  the  people  received  the  law,) 
what  further  need  was  there  that 
another  priest  should  rise  after  the 
order  of  Mel-ehis-e-dec,  and  not  be 
called  after  the  order  of  Aar-5n  1 

12  For  the  priesthood  being 
changed,  there  is  made  of  neces- 
sity a change  also  of  the  law. 

13  For  he  of  whom  these  things 
are  spoken  pertaineth  to  another 
tribe,  of  which  no  man  gave  attend- 
ance at  the  altar. 

14  For  it  is  evident  that  ‘^our 
Lord  sprang  out  of  J u-da ; of  which 
tribe  Mo-ses  spake  nothing  concern- 
ing priesthood. 

15  And  it  is  yet  far  more  evi- 
dent : for  that  after  the  similitude 
of  Mel-chis-6-dec  there  ariseth  an- 
other priest, 

16  Who  is  made,  not  after  the  law 
of  a carnal  commandment,  but  after 
the  power  of  an  endless  life. 

17  For  he  testifieth,  '‘Thou  art  a 

priest  for  ever  after  the  order  of 
Mel-chis-e-de-e.  . 

18  For  there  is  verily  a disannul- 
ling of  the  commandment  going 
before  for  Hhe  weakness  and  un- 
profitableness thereof. 

19  For  "‘the  law  made  nothing 
perfect,  ^but  the  bringing  in  of  “a 
better  nope  did ; by  the  which  ^we 
draw  nigh  unto  God. 

20  And  inasmuch  as  not  without 
an  oath  he  was  made  priest : 

21  (For  those  priests  were  made 
® without  an  oath;  but  this  with 
an  oath  by  him  that  said  unto  him, 
’“The  Lord  sware  and  will  not  re- 
pent, Thou  art  a priest  for  ever 
after  the  order  of  M$l-e_his-e-dec  :) 

22  By  so  much  ‘was  Je-sus  made 
a surety  of  a better  testament. 

23  And  they  truly  were  many 
priests,  because  they  were  not  suf- 
fered to  continue  by  reason  of 
death : 

24  But  this  man,  because  he  con- 
tinueth  ever,  hath  ^an  unchange- 
able priesthood. 

25  Wherefore  he  is  able  also  to  save 
them  ®to  the  uttermost  that  come 
unto  God  by  him,  seeing  he  ever  liv- 
eth  *to  make  intercession  for  them. 

26  For  such  an  high  priest  became 

us,  is  holy,  harmless,  unde- 

filed, separate  from  sinners,  “and 
made  higher  than  the  heavens ; 

27  Who  needeth  not  daily,  as  those 
high  priests,  to  offer  up  sacrifice, 
'first  for  his  own  sins,  ‘‘and  then 
for  the  people’s : for  ' this  he  did 
once,  when  ne  offered  up  himself. 

28  For  the  law  maketh  ^rnen  high 
priests  which  have  infirmity;  but

CHAPTER  8. 

By  the  eternal  priesthood  of  Christ  the  Levitical 
priesthood  of  Aaron  is  abolished. 

IVTOW  of  the  things  which  we 
have  spoken  this  is  the  sum : 
We  have  such  an  high  priest,  ''who 
is  set  on  the  right  hand  of  the  throne 
of  the  Majesty  in  the  heavens  ; 

2 A minister  ‘^of  'the  sanctuary, 
and  of  'the  true  tabernacle,  which 
the  Lord  pitched,  and  not  man. 

3 For  •''every  high  priest  is  or- 
dained to  offer  gifts  and  sacrifices : 
wherefore  ^it  is  of  necessity  that 
this  man  have  somewhat  also  to 
offer. 

4 For  if  he  were  on  earth,  he  should 
not  be  a priest,  seeing  that  Hhere 
are  priests  that  offer  gifts  according 
to  the  law : 

5 Who  serve  unto  the  example  and 
‘ shadow  of  heavenly  things,  as  Mo- 
ses was  admonished  of  God  when  he 
was  about  to  make  the  tabernacle : 
*for.  See,  saith  he,  that  thou  make 
all  things  according  to  the  pattern 
shewed  to  thee  in  the  mount. 

6 But  now  "hath  he  obtained  a 
more  excellent  ministry,  by  how 
much  also  he  is  the  mediator  of  a 
better  ^covenant,  which  was  estab- 
lished upon  better  promises. 

7 «For  if  that  first  covenant  had 
been  faultless,  then  should  no  place 
have  been  sought  for  the  second. 

8 For  finding  fault  with  them,  he 
saith,  * Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  when  I will  make  a^ 
covenant  with  the  house  of  Is-ra-el 
and  with  the  house  of  J u-dah  : 

9 Not  according  to  the  covenant 
that  I made  with  their  fathers  in 
the  day  when  I took  them  by  the 
hand  to  lead  them  out  of  the  land 
of  E-gypt ; because  thev  continued 
not  in  my  covenant,  and  I regarded 
them  not,  saith  the  Lord. 

10  For  “this  is  the  covenant  that  i 
will  make  with  the  house  of  Is-r  Ael 
after  those  days,  saith  the  Lord  ; I 
will  ^put  my  laws  into  their  mind, 
and  write  them  ^ in  their  hearts  : 
and  yl  will  be  to  them  a God,  and 
they  shall  be  to  me  a people  : 

1 1 And  Hhev  shall  not  teach  every 

man  his  neighbour,  and  every  ma.n 
his  brother,  saying.  Know  the  Lord ; 
for  all  shall  know  me,  from  the  least 
to  the  greatest.  . 

12  For  I will  be  merciful  to  their 
unrighteousness,  ■‘and  their  sins 
and  their  iniquities  will  I remem- 
ber no  more.

CHAPTER  9. 

1 The  rites  and  sacrifices  of  the  law  11  inferior  to  the 
perfection  of  the  sacrifice  of  Christ. 

Then  verily  the  first  covenant 
had  also  ‘^ordinances  of  divine 
service,  and  a worldly  sanctuary. 

2  For  there  was  a tabernacle 
made;  the  first,  ” wherein  was  "the 
candlestick,  and  the  table,  and  the 
shewbread;  which  is  called  ^the 
sanctuary. 

3  ^ And  after  the  second  veil,  the 
tabernacle  which  is  called  the  Ho- 
liest of  all ; 

4  Which  had  the  golden  censer, 
and  *the  ark  of  the  covenant  over- 
laid round  about  with  gold,  where- 
in was  “the  golden  pot  that  had  man- 
na, and  Aar-On  s rod  that  budded, 
and  ^the  tables  of  the  covenant ; 

5  And  ^over  it  the  cher-h-bims 
of  glory  shadowing  the  mercyseat ; 
of  which  we  cannot  now  speak 
particularly. 

6  Now  when  these  things  were 
thus  ordained,  ®the  priests  went 
always  into  the  first  tabernacle, 
accomplishing  the  service  of  God. 

7  But^  into  the  second  went  the 
high  priest  alone  -^once  every  year, 
not  without  blood,  ^ which  he  of- 
fered for  himself,  and  for  the  errors 
of  the  pecmle : 

8  '^The  Holy  Ghost  this  signifying, 
that  *the  way  into  the  holiest  of  all 
was  not  yet  made  manifest,  while 
as  the  first  tabernacle  was  yet 
standing : 

9  Which  was  a figure  for  the  time 
then  present,  in  which  were  offered 
both  gifts  and  sacrifices,  ’“that  could 
not  make  him  that  did  the  service 
perfect,  as  pertaining  to  the  con- 
science ; 

10  Which  stood  only  in  ® meats  and 
drinks,  and  ’"divers  washings,  ^and 
carnal  ^ordinances,  imposed  on  them 
until  the  tinie  of  reformation. 

1 1  But  -Christ  being  come  “an  high 
priest  ^of  good  things  to  come,  2/ by 
a greater  and  more  perfect  taber- 
nacle, not  made  with  hands,  that 
is  to  say,  not  of  this  building; 

12  Neither  *by  the  blood  of  goats 
and  calves,  but  ®by  his  own  blood 
he  entered  in  once  into  the  holy 
place,  ® having  obtained  eternal  re- 
demption for  us. 

13  For  if  '‘the  blood  of  bulls  and  of 
goats,  and  Hhe  ashes  of  an  heifer 
sprinkling  the  unclean,  sanctifieth 
to  the  purifying  of  the  flesh :

mediator  of  the  new  testament,  *that 
by  means  of  death,  for  the  redemp- 
tion of  the  transgressions  that  were 
under  the  first  testament,  'they 
which  are  called  might  receive  the 
promise  of  eternal  inheritance. 

16  For  where  a testament  is,  there 
must  also  of  necessity  ^be  the  death 
of  the  testator. 

17  For  ’"a  testament  is  of  force 
after  men  are  dead : otherwise  it 
is  of  no  strength  at  all  while  the 
testator  liveth. 

18  * Whereupon  neither  the  first 
testament  was  ® dedicated  without 
blood. 

19  For  when  Mo-ses  had  spoken 
every  precept  to  all  the  people 
according  to  the  law,  "‘he  took  the 
blood  of  calves  and  of  goats,  '’with 
water,  and  ‘^scarlet  wool,  and  hyssop, 
and  sprinkled  both  the  book,  and  all 
the  people, 

20  Saying,  ‘'This  is  the  blood  of 
the  testament  which  God  hath  en- 
joined unto  you. 

21  Moreover  "he  sprinkled  with 
blood  both  the  tabernacle,  and  all 
the  vessels  of  the  ministry. 

22  And  almost  all  things  are  by 
the  law  purged  with  blood ; and 
‘ without  shedding  of  blood  is  no 
remission. 

23  It  was  therefore  necessary  that 
'the  patterns  of  things  in  the  heav- 
ens should  be  purified  with  these ; 
but  the  heavenly  things  themselves 
with  better  sa,crifices  than  these. 

24  For  “Christ  is  not  entered  into 
the  holy  places  made  with  hands, 
which  are  the  figures  of  "the  true; 
but  into  heaven  itself,  now  ^to  ap- 
pear in  the  presence  of  God  for 
us : 

25  Nor  yet  that  he  should  offer 
himself  often,  as  'the  high  priest 
entereth  into  the  holy  place  every 
year  with  blood  of  others ; 

26  For  then  must  he  often  have 
suffered  since  the  foundation  of  the 
world : but  now  ^ once  “ in  the  end 
of  the  world  hath  he  appeared  to 

gut  away  sin  by  the  sacrifice  of 
imself. 

27  •''And  as  it  is  appointed  unto 
men  once  to  die,  ^'but  after  this 
the  judgment: 

28  So  '’Christ  was  once  'offered  to 
bear  the  sins  ’“of  many  ; and  unto 
them  that  “look  for  him  shall  he

CHAPTER  10. 

1 The  weakness  of  the  law  sacrifices.  10  The  sacrifice  of 
Chnst's  body  once  offered,  14  for  ever  hath  taken  away 
sins.  19  eichortation  to  hold  fast  the  faith,  with 
patience  and  thanksgiving. 

For  the  law  having  ‘'a  shadow 
®of  good  things  to  come,  and 
not  the  very  image  of  the  things, 

^ can  never  with  those  sacrifices 
which  they  offered  year  by  year 
continually  make  the  comers  there- 
unto * perfect. 

2  For  then  ^ would  they  not  have 
ceased  to  be  offered  1 because  that 
the  worshippers  once  purged  should 
have  had  no  more  conscience  of 
sins. 

3  ® But  in  those  sacrifices  there  is 
a remembrance  again  made  of  sins 
every  year.,  -n  ^ 

4  For  ^it  IS  not  possible  that  the 
blood  of  bulls  and  of  goats  should 
take  away  sins. 

5  Wherefore  when  he  cometh  into 
the  world,  he  saith,  “Sacrifice  and 
offering  thou  wouldest  not,  but  a 
body  ®nast  thou  prepared  me: 

6  In  burnt  offerings  and  sacrifices 
for  sin  thou  hast  had  no  pleasure. 

7  Then  said  I,  Lo,  I come  (in  the 
volume  of  the  book  it  is  written  of 
me,)  to  do  thy  will,  O God. 

8  Above  when  he  said.  Sacrifice 
and  offering  and  burnt  offerings 
and  offering  for  sin  thou  wouldest 
not,  neither  hadst  pleasure  therein ; 
which  are  offered  by  the  law  ; 

9  Then  said  he,  Lo,  I come  to  do 
thy  will,  O God.  He  taketh  away 
the  first,  that  he  may  establish  the 
second. 

10  ^By  the  which  will  we  are  sanc- 
tified '‘through  the  offering  of  the 
body  of  Je-stis  -Christ  once  for  all. 

11  And  every  priest  standeth 
*=  daily  ministering  and  offering 
oftentimes  the  same  sacrifices, 
which  can  never  take  away  sins : 
12  “But  this  man,  after  he  had 
offered  one  sacrifice  for  sins  for 
ever,  sat  down  on  the  right  hand 
of  God ; 

13  From  henceforth  expecting  «till 
his  enemies  be  made  his  footstool. 

14  For  by  one  offering  ‘he  hath 
perfected  for  ever  them  that  are 
sanctified. 

15  Whereof  the  Holy  Ghost  also  is 
a witness  to  us:  for  after  that  he 
had  said  before, 

16  *This  is  the  covenant  that  I 
will  make  with  them  after  those 
days,  saith  the  Lord,  I will  put  my 
laws  into  their  hearts,  and  in  their 
minds  will  I write  them  ;

18  Now  where  remission  of  these 
is,  there  is  no  more  offering  for  sin.

“ boldness  ^ to  enter  ''  into  the  holi- 
est by  the  blood  of  Je-sus, 

20  By  ‘‘a  new  and  living  way, 
which  he  hath  ^ consecrated  for  us, 

^ through  the  veil,  that  is  to  say, 
his  flesh : 

21  And  having  '‘an  high  priest 
over  ‘ the  house  of  God  ; 

22  ' Let  us  draw  near  with  a true 
heart  ’"‘in  full  assurance  of  faith, 
having  our  hearts  sprinkled  “from 
an  evil  conscience,  and  ® our  bodies 
washed  with  pure  water. 

23  ^'Let  us  hold  fast  the  profession 
of  our  faith  without  wavering  ; (for 
" he  is  faithful  that  promised ;) 

24  And  let  us  consider  one  an- 
other to  provoke  unto  love  and  to 
good  works : 

25  ‘Not  forsaking  the  assembling 
of  ourselves  together,  as  the  man- 
ner of  some  is ; but  exhorting  one 
another:  and  ^so  much  the  more, 
as  ye  see  ^the  day  approaching. 

26  For  ‘if  we  sin  wilfully  “after

no  more  sacrifice  for  sins,

nant, wherewith  he  was  sanctified,

the  soul. 

CHAPTER  11. 

1 What  faith  is.  1 The  worthy  fruits  thereof  in  the 
fathers  of  old  time. 

OW  faith  is  the  ^substance  of 
things  hoped  for,  the  evidence 
•■of  things  not  seen. 

2 For  by  it  the  elders  obtained  a 
good  report. 

3 Through  faith  we  understand 
that  *the  worlds  were  framed  by 
the  word  of  God,  so  that  things 
which  are  seen  were  not  made  of 
things  which  do  appear. 

4 By  faith  ^ A-bel  offered  unto  God 
a more  excellent  sacrifice  than  -Cain, 
by  which  he  obtained  witness  that 
he  was  righteous,  God  testifying  of 
his  gifts : and  by  it  he  being  dead 
* yet  ‘‘  speaketh. 

5 By  faith  ‘^E-n5ch  was  translated 
that  he  should  not  see  death ; and 
was  not  found,  because  God  had 
translated  him  : for  before  his  trans- 
lation he  had  this  testimony,  that 
he  pleased  God. 

6 But  without  faith  it  is  impossible 
to  please  him : for  he  that  cometh 
to  God  must  believe  that  he  is,  and 
that  he  is  a rewarder  of  them  that 
diligently  seek  him. 

7 By  faith  * No-ah,  being  warned 
of  God  of  things  not  seen  as  yet, 
® moved  with  fear,  '^prepared  an  ark 
to  the  saving  of  his  house ; by  the 
which  he  condemned  the  world, 
and  became  heir  of  the  righteous- 
ness which  is  by  faith. 

8 By  faith  ^A-bra-ham,  when  he  was 
called  to  go  out  into  a place  which 
he  should  after  receive  for  an  in- 
heritance, obeyed ; and  he  went  out, 
not  knowing  whither  he  went. 

9 By  faith  he  sojourned  in  the 
land  of  promise,  as^  in  a strange 
country,  ^dwelling  in  tabernacles 
with  I-§aac  and  Ja-eCb,  *the  heirs 
with  him  of  the  same  promise  : 

10  For  he  looked  for  “a  city  which 


hath  foundations,  “whose  builder 
and  maker  is  God. 

1 1 Through  faith  also  *Sa-ra  herself 
received  strength  to  conceive  seed, 
and  was  delivered  of  a child  when 
she  was  past  age,  because  she  judged 
him  ® faithful  who  had  promised. 

12  Therefore  sprang  tnere  even  of 
one,  and  *him  as  good  as  dead,  *so 
many  as  the  stars  of  the  sky  in 
multitude,  and  as  the  sand  which 
is  by  the  sea  shore  innumerable. 

1 3 These  all  died  ^ in  faith,  not 
having  received  the  promises,  but 
’"having  seen  them  afar  off,  and  were 
persuaded  of  them,  and  embraced 
them,  and  confessed  that  they  were 
strangers  and  pilgrims  on  the  earth. 

14  For  they  that  say  such  things 
« declare  plainly  that  they  seek  a 
country. 

15  And  truly,  if  they  had  been 
mindful  of  that  country  from 
whence  they  came  out,  they  might 
have  had  opportunity  to  have  re- 
turned. 

16  But  now  they  desire  a better 
country,  that  is,  an  heavenly : 
wherefore  God  is  not  ashamed  *to 
be  called  their  God : for  “ he  hath 
prepared  for  them  a city. 

17  By  faith  “^A-bra-ham,  when  he 
was  tried,  offered  up  I-saae : and 
he  that  had  received  the  promises 
^offered  up  his  only  begotten  son, 

18  ^ Of  wliom  it  was  said,  “That  in 
I-saae  shall  thy  seed  be  called : 

19  Accounting  that  God  ''was  able 
to  raise  him  up,  even  from  the  dead ; 
from  whence  also  he  received  him 
in  a figure. 

20  By  faith  ® I-saae  blessed  Ja-e5b 
and  E-sau  concerning  things  to 
come. 

21  By  faith  Ja-e5b,  when  he  was 
a dying,  -^blessed  both  the  sons  of 
Jo-seph;  and  ^worshipped,  leaning 
upon  the  top  of  his  staff. 

22  By  faith  ^Jo-sgph,  when  he 
died,  “ made  mention  of  the  depart- 
ing of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el ; and 
gave  commandment  concerning  his 
bones. 

23  By  faith  * Mo-s6s,  when  he  was 
born,  was  hid  three  months  of  his 
parents,  because  they  saw  he  was 
a proper  child ; and  they  were  not 
afraid  of  the  king’s  "commandment. 

24  By  faith  ^ Mo-ses,  when  he  was 
come  to  years,  refused  to  be  called 
the  son  of  Pha-raoh’s  daughter  ; 

25  ® Choosing  rather  to  suffer  afflic- 
tion with  the  people  of  God,  than 
to  enjoy  the  pleasures  of  sin  for  a 
season ; 

26  Esteeming  *the  reproach  ’of 
■Christ  greater  riches  than  the  treas-

he  endured,  as  ® seeing  him  who  is

lay  aside  every  weight,  and  the  sin 
which  doth  so  easily  beset  us,  and 
" let  us  run  **  with  patience  the  race 
that  is  set  before  us, 

2 Looking  unto  Je-sus  the  ^author 
and  finisher  of  our  faith ; -^who  for 
the  joy  that  was  set  before  him 
endured  the  cross,  despising  the 
shame,  and  '"is  set  down  at  the 
right  hand  of  the  throne  of  God. 

3 ^For  consider  him  that  endured 
such  contradiction  of  ? sinners  a- 
gainst  himself,  Gest  ye  be  wearied 
and  faint  in  your  minds. 

4 "Ye  have  not  yet  resisted  unto 
blood,  striving  against  sin. 

5 And  ye  have  forgotten  the  ex- 
hortation which  speaketh  unto  you 
as  unto  children,  ^ My  son,  despise 
not  thou  the  chastening  of  the 
Lord,  nor  faint  when  thou  art  re- 
buked of  him : 

6 For  "whom  the  Lord  loveth  he 
chasteneth,  and  scourgeth  every 
son  whom  he  receiveth. 

7 ^If  ye  endure  chastening,  God 
dealeth  with  you  as  with  sons ; for 
what  son  is  he  whom  the  father 
chasteneth  not"? 

8 But  if  ye  be  without  chastise- 
ment, " whereof  all  are  partakers, 
then  are  ye  bastards,  andT not  sons. 

9 Furthermore  we  have  had  fathers 
of  our  flesh  which  corrected  us,  and 
we  gave  them  reverence : shall  we 
not  much  rather  be  in  subjection  un- 
to Ghe  Father  of  spirits,  and  livel 

10  For  they  verily  for  a few  days 
chastened  us  ^ after  their  own  pleas- 
ure ; but  he  for  our  profit,  Hhat  we 
might  be  partakers  of  his  holiness. 

11  Now  no  chastening  for  the 
Ijresent  seemeth  to  be  joyous,  but 
grievous : nevertheless  afterward 
it  yieldeth  "the  peaceable  fruit  of 
righteousness  unto  them  which  are 
exercised  thereby. 

12  Wherefore  "lift  up  the  hands 
which  hang  down,  and  the  feeble 
knees ; 

13  * And  make  ^straight  paths  for 
vour  feet,  lest  that  which  is  lame 
be  turned  out  of  the  way ; “but  let 
it  rather  be  healed. 

14  ^Follow  peace  with  all  men,  and 
holiness,  * without  which  no  man 
shall  see  the  Lord : 

15  Looking  diligently  “lest  any 
man  ®fail  of  the  grace  of  God  ; Gest 
any  root  of  bitterness  springing  up 
trouble  you,  and  thereby  many  be 
defiled ; 

16  "Lest  there  be  any  fornicator, 
or  profane  person,  as  E-sau,  "^who 
for  one  morsel  of  meat  sold  his 
birthright.

herited the  blessing,  he  was  re- 
jected : for  he  found  no  ^ place  of 
repentance,  though  he  sought  it

18  For  ye  are  not  come  unto  ®the

1 We  are  to  rejoice  under  the  cross,  6 to  ask  patience  of 
Qod,  13  and  in  our  trials  not  to  impute  our  weakness, 
or  sins,  unto  him,  19  hut  rather  to  hearken  to  the  word, 
to  meditate  in  it,  and,  to  do  thereafter. 

JAMES®,  servant  of  God  and 
of  the  Lord  Je-sus  -Christ,  Ho 
the  twelve  tribes  which  are  scat- 
tered abroad,  greeting.  , 

2  My  brethren,  •'’count  it  all  3oy 
'‘when  ye  fall  into  divers  tempta- 
tions ; , , , . 

3  ^Knowing  this,  that  the  trying 
of  your  faith  worketh  patience. 

4  But  let  patience  have  her  perfect 
work,  that  ye  may  be  perfect  and 
entire,  wanting  nothing. 

5  ^‘If  any  of  you  lack  wisdom,  ”let 
him  ask  of  God,  that  giyeth  to  all 
men  liberally,  and  upbraideth  not; 
and  «it  shall  be  given  him. 

6  *But  let  him  ask  in  faith,  nothing 
wavering.  For  he  that  wavereth  is 
like  a wave  of  the  sea  driven  with 
the  wind  and  tossed. 

7  For  let  not  that  man  think  that 
he  shall  receive  any  thing  of  the 
Lord. 

8  double  minded  man  un- 
stable in  all  his  ways. 

9  Let  the  brother  of  low  degree 
2 rejoice  in  that  he  is  exalted : 

10  But  the  rich,  in  that  he  is  made 
low;  because  °as  the  flower  of  the 
grass  he  shall  pass  away. 

11  For  the  sun  is  no  sooner  risen 
with  a burning  heat,  but  it  wither- 
eth  the  grass,  and  the  flower  thereof 
falleth,  and  the  grace  of  the  fashion 
of  it  perisheth : so  also  shall  the 
rich  man  fade  away  in  his  ways. 

12  ® Blessed  is  the  man  that  en- 
dureth  temptation : for  when  he  is 
tried,  he  shall  receive  ^'the  crown  of 
life,  * which  the  Lord  hath  promised 
to  them  that  love  him.

26  If  any  man  among  you  seem 
to  be  religious,  and  / bridleth  not 
his  tongue,  but  deceiveth  his  own 
heart,  this  man’s  religion  is  vain. 

27  Pure  religion  and  undefiled  be- 
fore God  and  the  Father  is  this,  -^To 
visit  the  fatherless  and  widows  in 
their  affliction,  ^and  to  keep  him- 
self unspotted  from  the  world. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 It  is  not  agreeable  to  Christian  profession  to  regard,  the 
rich,  and  to  despise  the  poor:  but  rather  to  be  loving 
and  merciful : 14  not  to  boast  of  faith  where  no  deeds 
are,  17  which  is  but  a dead  faith. 

My  brethren,  have  not  the  faith 
of  our  Lord  Je-siis  -Christ,  '^the 
Lord  of  glory,  with  * respect  of 
persons. 

2  For  if  there  come  unto  your  ^as- 
sembly a man  with  a gold  ring,  in 
goodly  apparel,  and  there  come  in 
also  a poor  man  in  vile  raiment ; 

3  And  ye  have  respect  to  him  that 
weareth  the  gay  clothing,  and  say 
unto  him.  Sit  thou  here  “in  a good 
place ; and  say  to  the  poor.  Stand 
thou  there,  or  sit  here  under  my 
footstool : 

4  Are  ye  not  then  partial  in  your- 
selves, and  are  become  judges  of 
evil  thoughts'? 

5  Hearken,  my  beloved  brethren, 
“Hath  not  God  chosen  the  poor  of 
this  world  ^rich  in  faith,  and  heirs 
of  ’the  kingdom  '‘which  he  hath 
promised  to  them  that  love  him'? 

6  But  ®ye  have  despised  the  poor. 
Do  not  rich  men  oppress  you,  *and 
draw  you  before  the  judgment 
seats  1 

7  Do  not  they  blaspheme  that 
worthy  name  by  the  which  ye  are 
called '? 

8  If  ye  fulfil  the  royal  law  accord- 
ing to  the  scripture,  *Thou  shalt 
love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself,  ye 
do  well  : 

9  But  if  ye  have  respect  to  persons, 
ye  commit  sin,  and  are  convinced 
of  the  law  as  transgressors. 

10  For  whosoever  shall  keep  the 
whole  law,  and  yet  offend  in  one 
point,  “he  is  guilty  of  all. 

11  For  Me  that  said,  “Do  not  com- 
mit adultery,  said  also.  Do  not  kill. 
Now  if  thou  commit  no  adultery, 
yet  if  thou  kill,  thou  art  become  a 
transgressor  of  the  law. 

1 2  So  speak  ye,  and  so  do,  as  they 
that  shall  be  judged  by  the  law  of 
liberty. 

13  For  ^he  shall  have  judgment 
without  mercy,  that  hath  shewed 
no  mercy;  and  mercy  ‘“^rejoiceth 
against  judgment.

them  that  are  sent  by  him  for  the

of  ‘’the  manifold  grace  of  God.  _ 

11  ‘‘If  any  man  speak,  let  him 
speak  as  the  oracles  of  (aod ; " if 
any  man  minister,  let  him  do  it 
as  of  the  ability  which  God  giv- 
eth:  that  “God  in  all  things  may 
be  glorified  through  J e-sus  -Christ, 
“to  whom  be  praise  and  dominion 
for  ever  and  ever.  A-men'. 

12  Beloved,  think  it  not  strange 
concerning  ""the  fiery  trial  which  is 
to  try  you,  as  though  some  strange 
thing  happened  unto  you  : 

13  ^But  rejoice,  inasmuch  as  ®ye 

are  partakers  of  -Christ’s  sufferings ; 
that,  when  his  glory  shall  be  re- 
vealed, ye  mav  be  glad  also  with 
exceeding  joy.  , ^ 

14  ‘If  ye  be  reproa^ched  tor  the 
name  of  Christ,  happy  are  ye ; for 
the  spirit  of  glory  and  of  God  rest- 
eth  upon  you : on  their  part  he  is 
evil  spoken  of,  but  on  your  part  he 
is  glorified. 

15  But  let  none  of  you  suffer  as 
a murderer,  or  as  a thief,  or  as  an 
evildoer,  or  as  a busybody  in  other 
men’s  matters. 

16  Yet  if  any  man  suffer  as  a 

Chris-tian,  let  him  not  be  ashamed; 
"but  let  him  glorify  God  on  this 
behalf.  , . , . i 

17  For  the  time  is  come  “that  judg-

God : and  ® if  it  first  begin  at  us, 

what  shall  the  end  be  of  them  that 
obey  not  the  gospel  of  God '? 

18  ‘And  if  the  righteous  scarcely 
be  saved,  where  shall  the  ungodly

1 9 Wherefore  let  them  that  suffer 
according  to  the  will  of  God  ‘comrnit

in  well  doing,  as  unto  a faithful 
(Creator. 

CHAPTER  5. 

1 The  elders  exhorted  to  feed  their  flocks,  5 the  younger  to 
obey,  8 and  all  to  be  sober  and  watchful:  9 to  resist  the 
cruel  adversary  the  devil.

5 Likewise,  ye  younger,  submit 
yourselves  unto  the  elder.  Yea,  *all 
of  you  be  subject  one  to  another, 
and  be  clothed  with  humility ; for 
^God  resisteth  the  proud,  and  -^giv- 
eth  grace  to  the  humble. 

6 ^Humble  yourselves  therefore 
under  the  mighty  hand  of  God,  that 
he  may  exalt  you  in  due  time :

for  he  careth  for  you.

”^your  adversary  the  devil,  as  a 
roaring  lion,  walketh  about,  seek- 
ing whom  he  may  devour :

THE  SECOND  EPISTLE  GENERAL  OF 


PESTER 


CHAPTER  1. 

The  apostle  exhorteth  them  to  make  their  calling  and 
election  sure. 

SI-MON^  Pe-ter,  a servant  and  an 
apostle  of  Je-sus  Christ,  to  them 
that  nave  obtained  Gike  precious 
faith  with  us  through  the  righteous- 
ness ^of  God  and  our  Saviour  Je-sus 
Christ : 

2 ‘'Grace  and  peace  be  multiplied 
unto  you  through  the  knowledge  of 
God,  and  of  Je-sus  9ur  Lord, 

3 According  as  his  divine  power 
hath  given  unto  us  all  things  that 
pertain  unto  life  and  godliness, 
through  the  knowledge  of  him 
^that  hath  called  us  ^to  glory  and 
virtue : 

4 Whereby  are  given  unto  us  ex- 
ceeding greatand  preciouspromises: 
that  by  these  ye  might  be /'partakers 
of  the  divine  nature,  haying  escaped 
the  corruption  that  is  in  the  world 
through  lust. 

5 And  beside  this,  "‘giving  all  dili- 
gence, add  to  your  faith  virtue ; and 
to  virtue  "knowledge; 

6 And  to  knowledge  temperance ; 
and  to  temperance  patience;  and 
to  patience  godliness ; 

7 And  to  godliness  brotherly  kind- 
ness; and  ^to  brotherly  kindness 
charity. 

8 For  if  these  things  be  in  you, 
and  abound,  they  make  you  that 
ye  shall  neither  he  “^barren  "nor 
unfruitful  in  the  knowledge  of  our 
Lord  J e-§us  Christ. 

9 But  he  that  lacketh  these  things 
'is  blind,  and  cannot  see  afar  off.

and  hath  forgotten  that  he  wa. 
“purged  from  his  old  sins. 

10  Wherefore  the  rather,  brethren, 
give  diligence  '’to  make  your  calling 
and  election  sure : for  if  ye  do  these 
tiling,  ye  shall  never  fall : 

11  For  so  an  entrance  shall  be 
ministered  unto  you  abundantly 
into  the  everlasting  kingdom  of  our 
Lord  and  Saviour  Je-stis  Christ. 

12  Wherefore  ^I  will  not  be  negli- 
gent to  put  you  always  in  remem- 
brance of  these  things,  though  ye 
know  them,  and  be  established  in 
the  present  truth. 

13  Yea,  I think  it  meet,  ^as  long 
as  I am  in  this  tabernacle,  to  stir 
you  up  by  putting  you  in  remem- 
brance ; 

14  ‘Knowing  that  shortly  I must 
put  off  this  my  tabernacle,  even 
as  'our  Lord  Je-siis  Christ  hath 
shewed  me. 

1 5 Moreover  I will  endeavour  that 
ye  may  be  able  after  my  decease  to 
have  these  things  always  in  re-, 
membrance. 

16  For  we  have  not  followed  "cun- 
ningly devised  fables,  when  we 
made  known  unto  you  the  power 
and  coming  of  our  Lord  Je-sus 
■^Jhrist,  but  ^^were  eyewitnesses  of 
his  majesty. 

1 7 For  he  received  from  God 
the  Father  honour  and  glory,  when 
there  came  such  a voice  to  him 
from  the  excellent  glory,  *This  is 
my  beloved  Son,  in  whom  I am 
well  pleased. 

1 8 And  this  voice  which  came  from 


FaUe  teachers  described. 


II.  PETER,  2. 


Of  relapsing  into  sin- 


heaven  we  heard,  when  we  were 
with  him  in  “the  holy  mount. 

19  We  have  also  a more  sure 
word  of  prophecy;  whereunto  ye 
do  well  that  ye  take  heed,  as  iinto 
‘^a  light  that  shineth  in  a dark 
place,  until  the  day  dawn,  and  ®the 
day  star  arise  in  your  hearts  : 

20  Knowing  this  first,  that  -^no 
prophecy  of  the  scripture  is  of  any 
private  interpretation. 

21  For  ^the  prophecy  came  nothin 
old  time  by  the  will  of  man : * but 
holy  men  of  God  spake  as  they  were 
moved  by  the  Holy  Ghost. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Of  false  teachers,  shewing  the  punishment  both  of  them 
and  their  folloivers:  'll  from  which  the  godly  shall  be 
delivered,  as  Lot  was  out  of  Sodom. 

But  ” there  were  false  prophets 
also  among  the  people,  even 
as  ‘’there  shall  be  false  teachers 
among  you,  who  privily  shall  bring 
in  damnable  heresies,  even  denying 
the  Lord  «that  bought  them,  ^and 
bring  upon  themselves  swift  de- 
struction. 

2 And  many  shall  follow  their 
® pernicious  ways ; by  reason  of 
whom  the  way  of  truth  shall  be 
evil  spoken  of. 

3 And  ‘through  covetousness  shall 
they  with  feigned  words  “make 
merchandise  of  you ; ^ whose  judg- 
ment now  of  a long  time  lingereth 
not,  and  their  damnation  slumber- 
eth  not. 

4 For  if  God  spared  not  "the  an- 
gels “that  sinned,  but  *cast  them 
down  to  hell,  and  delivered  them 
into  chains  of  darkness,  to  be  re- 
served unto  judgment ; 

5 And  spared  not  the  old  world, 
but  saved  ‘‘No-ah  the  eighth  per-

not  railing  accusation  ^against  them 
before  the  Lord. 

12  But  these,  ‘‘as  natural  brute

stroyed, speak  evil  of  the  things 
that  they  understand  not ; and  shall 
utterly  perish  in  their  own  corrup- 
tion ; 

13  *And  shall  receive  the  reward 
of  unrighteousness,  as  they  that 
count  it  pleasure  ‘to  riot  in  the 
day  time.  "“Spots  they  are  and 
blemishes,  sporting  themselves 
with  their  own  deceivings  while 
they  feast  with  you  ; 

14  Having  eyes  full  of  Adultery, 
and  that  cannot  cease  from  sin ; 
beguiling  unstable  souls : ^an  heart 
they  have  exercised  with  covetous

ing the  way  of  *Badaam  the  son  of

uity : the  dumb  ass  speaking  with 
man’s  voice  forbad  the  madness  of 
the  prophet.

pest ; to  whom  the  mist  of  darkness 
IS  reserved  for  ever. 

18  For  when  ‘’they  speak  great

shall  be  destroyed. 

This  second  epistle,  beloved,  I 
now  write  unto  you  ; in  both 
which  stir  up  your  pure  minds 
by  way  of  remembrance :

words  which  were  spoken  before 
by  the  holy  prophets,  -^and  of  the 
commandment  of  us  the  apostles 
of  the  Lord  and  Saviour :

shall  come  in  the  last  days  scoffers,

tinue as  they  were  from  the  begin- 
ning of  the  creation. 

5  For  this  they  willingly  are  igno- 
rant of,  that  ‘’by  the  word  of  God 
the  heavens  were  of  old,  and  the 
earth  ^standing'^  out  of  the  water 
and  in  the  water : 

6  ’ Whereby  the  world  that  then 
was,  being  overflowed  with  water, 
perished : 

7  But  Hhe  heavens  and  the  earth, 
which  are  now,  by  the  same  word 
are  kept  in  store,  reserved  unto 
“fire  against  the  day  of  judgment 
and  perdition  of  ungodly  men. 

8  But,  beloved,  be  not  ignorant 
of  this  one  thing,  that  one  day  is 
with  the  Lord  as  a thousand  years, 
and  ^a  thousand  years  as  one  day. 

_ 9 “The  Lord  is  not  slack  concern- 
ing his  promise,  as  some  men  count 
slackness;  but  ^is  longsuffering  to 
us-ward,  ‘^not  willing  that  any 
should  perish,  but  ®that  all  should 
come  to  repentance.

which  ^the  heavens  shall  pass  away 
with  a great  noise,  and  the  elements 
shall  melt  with  fervent  heat,  the

therein  shall  be  burned  up.

Antichrist  described. 


unto  you,  that  ®God  is  light,  and  in 
him  is  no  darkness  at  all. 

6 we  say  that  we  have  tellow- 
ship  with  him,  and  walk  m dark- 
ness, we  lie,  and  do  not  the  truth : 

7 But  if  we  walk  in  the  light,  as 
he  is  in  the  light,  we  have  fellow- 
ship one  with  another,  and  "the 
blood  of  Je-sus  -Christ  his  bon 
cleanseth  us  from  all 

8 "If  we  say  that  we  have  no  sin, 

we  deceive  ourselves,  •'^and  the  truth 
is  not  in  us.  . i • 

9 ^If  we  confess  our  sins,  he  is 
faithful  and  jnst  to  forgive  us  our 
sins,  and  to  ^cleanse  us  from  all 
unrighteousness. 

10  If  we  say  that  we  have  not 
sinned,  we  make  him  a liar,  and 
his  word  is  not  in  us. 

CHAPTER  2. 

1 Of  Christ  our  advocate,  and  propitiation.  3 Rightly 
to  know  God  is  to  keep  his  commandments,  &c. 

My  little  children,  these  things 
write  I unto  you,  that  ye  sin 
not.  And  if  any  man  sin,  ^ we  have 
an  advocate  with  the  Father,  J e-siis 
Christ  the  righteous  : . . . 

2  And  ^he  is  the  propitiation  tor 
our  sins:  and  not  for  our’s  only, 
but  ®also  for  the  sins  of  the  whole 
world.  , , ^ 

3  And  hereby  we  do  know  that 
we  know  him,  if  we  keep  his  com- 
mandments. ^ ^ . . 

4  ^He  that  saith’,  I know  him, 
and  keepeth  not  his  command- 
ments, Gs  a liar,  and  the  truth  is 
not  in  him. 

5  But  "whoso  keepeth  his  word, 
"in  him  verily  is  the  love  of  God 
perfected : hereby  know  we  that 
we  are  in  him.  ^ , . , , , . 

6  *He  that  saith  he  abideth  in 
him  ^ ought  himself  also  so  to 
walk,  even  as  he  walked. 

7  Brethren,  "‘I  write  no  new  com- 
mandment unto  you,  but  an  old 
commandment  ” which  ye  had  irom 
the  beginning.  The  old  command- 
ment is  the  word  which  ye  have 
heard  from  the  beginning. 

8  Again,  ^a  new  commandment  I 
write  unto  you,  which  thing  is  true 
in  him  and  in  you : ^because  the 
darkness  is  past,  and  *the  true 
light  now  shineth. 

9  “He  that  saith  he  is  in  the  light, 
and  hateth  his  brother,  is  in  dark- 
ness even  until  now. 

10  ^He  that  loveth  his  brother 
abideth  in  the  light,  and  ^ there  is 
none  ^occasion  of  stumbling  in  him. 

1 1  But  he  that  hateth  his  brother 
is  in  darkness,  and  "walketh  in 
darkness,  and  knoweth  not  whi-

CHAPTER  3. 

Tice  singular  love  of  God  in  making  us  Ms  sons. 

Behold,  what  manner  of  love 
the  Father  hath  bestowed  upon 
us,  that  ’'we  should  be  called  the 
sons  of  God : therefore  the  world 
knoweth  us  not,  ^because  it  knew 
him  not. 

2  Beloved,  “now  are  we  the  sons  of 
God,  and  ^it  doth  not  yet  appear 
what  we  shall  be : but  we  know 
that,  when  he  shall  appear,  "'we 
shall  be  like  him ; for  **  we  shall 
see  him  as  he  is. 

3  “"And  every  man  that  hath  this 
hope  in  him  purifieth  himself,  even 
as  he  is  pure. 

4  Whosoever  committeth  sin  trans- 
gresseth  also  the  law : for  ^sin  is  the 
transgression  of  the  law. 

5  And  ye  know  ’that  he  was  mani- 
fested Ho  take  away  our  sins  ; and 
in  him  is  no  sin. 

6  Whosoever  abideth  in  him  sin- 
neth  not : “whosoever  sinneth  hath 
not  seen  him,  neither  known  him. 

7  Little  children,  “let  no  man  de- 
ceive you:  ^he  that  doeth  right- 
eousness is  righteous,  even  as  he 
is  righteous. 

8  ’'He  that  committeth  sin  is  of  the 
devil ; for  the  devil  sinneth  from 
the  beginning.  For  this  purpose 
the  Son  of  ^ God  was  manifested, 
“that  he  might  destroy  the  works 
of  the  devil. 

9  ^ Whosoever  is  born  of  God  doth 
not  commit  sin ; for  “ his  seed  re- 
maineth  in  him:  and  he  cannot 
sin,  because  he  is  born  of  God. 

10  In  this  the  children  of  God  are 
manifest,  and  the  children  of  the 
devil : **  whosoever  doeth  not  right- 
eousness is  not  of  God,  “neither  he 
that  loveth  not  his  brother. 

11  For  this  is  the  ^message  that 
ye  heard  from  the  beginning,  ^ that 
we  should  love  one  another.

good,  and  seeth  his  brother  have

compassion  from  him,  ®how  dwell-

18  My  little  children,  *let  us  not

but  in  deed  and  in  truth. 

1 9 And  hereby  we  know  ’'that  we 
are  of  the  truth,  and  shall  ^assure 
our  hearts  before  him. 

20  “For  if  our  heart  condemn  us, 
God  is  greater  than  our  heart,  and

21  ‘’Beloved,  if  our  heart  condemn 
us  not,  ^then  have  we  confidence 
toward  God. 

22  And  •’^whatsoever  we  ask,  we

in  the  world.  , 

4 *Ye  are  of  God,  little  children, 
and  have  overcome  them : because 
greater  is  he  that  is  in  you,  than 
‘^he  that  is  in  the  world. 

5 ^They  are  of  the  world:  there- 
fore speak  they  of  the  world,  and 
*the  world  heareth  them. 

6 We  are  of  God : %e  that  know- 
eth  God  heareth  us  ; he  that  is  not 
of  God  heareth  not  us.  Hereby 
know  we  Hhe  spirit  of  truth,  and 
the  spirit  of  error. 

7 »» Beloved,  let  us  love  one  an- 
other: for  love  is  of  God;  and 
every  one  that  loveth  is  born  oi 
God,  and  knoweth  God. 

8 He  that  loveth  not  « knoweth 
not  God ; for  God  is  love. 

9 ^In  this  was  manifested  the 

love  of  God  toward  us,  because  that 
God  sent  his  only  begotten  Son 
into  the  world,  *that  we  might  live 
through  him.^  ^ . 

10  Herein  is  love,  ^not  that  we 
loved  God,  but  that  he  loved  us, 
and  sent  his  Son  ^to  be  the  pro- 
pitiation for  our  sins. 

11  Beloved,  “if  God  so  loved  us, 
we  ought  also  to  love  one  another. 

12  ‘'No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any 
time.  If  we  love  one  another,  ,God 
dwelleth  in  us,  and  his  love  is  per- 
fected in  us. 

13  ® Hereby  know  we  that  we 
dwell  in  him,  and  he  in  i^,  ^ be- 
cause he  has  given  us  of  his  Spirit. 

14  And  S' we  have  seeij  and  do 
testify  that  Hhe  Father  sent  the 
Son  to  be  the  Saviour  of  the  world. 

15  '=  Whosoever  shall  confess  that 
Je-stis  is  the  Son  of  God,  God  dwell- 
eth in  him,  and  he  in  God. 

16  And  we  have  known  and  be- 
lieved the  love  that  God  hath  to 
us.  God  is  love ; and  ” he  that 
dwelleth  in  love  dwelleth  in  God, 
and  God  in  him. 

17  Herein  is  ^our  love  made  per- 
fect, that  ’"we  may  have  boldness  in 
the  day  of  judgment : * because  as 
he  is,  so  are  we  in  this  world. 

18  There  is  no  fear  in  love;  but 
perfect  love  caste th  out  fear : be- 
cause fear  hath  torment.  He  that 
feareth  ^is  not  made  perfect  in  love. 

19  We  love  him,  because  he  first 
loved  us. 

20  ^If  a man  say,  I love  God,  and 
hateth  his  brother,  he  is  a liar  ; for 
he  that  loveth  not  his  brother  whom 
he  hath  seen,  how  can  he  love  God 
“whom  he  hath  not  seen '? 

21  And  Hhis  commandment  have 
we  from  him.  That  he  who  loveth 
God  love  his  brother  also.

CHAPTER  5. 

1 He  that  loveth  God  loveth  his  children,  and  keepeth  hit 
commandments,  3 which  are  not  grievous.  9 Jesus  is  the 
Son  of  God,  able  to  save  us,  14  and  to  hear  our  prayers. 

WHOSOEVER  ‘^believeth  that 
«Je-sus  is  the  -Ohrist  is-^born 
of  God : '‘and  every  one  that  loveth 
him  that  begat  loveth  liim  also 
that  is  begotten  of  him. 

2  By  this  we  know  that  we  love 
the  cnildren  of  God,  when  we  love 
God,  and  keep  his  commandments. 

3  "‘For  this  is  the  love  ot  God, 
that  we  keep  his  commandments : 
and  ‘’his  commandments  are  not 
grievous.  o j 

4  For  ^whatsoever  is  born  or  bmd 
overcometh  the  world:  and  tms 
is  the  victory  that  overcometh  the 
world,  even  our  faith. 

5  Who  is  he  that  overcometh  the 
world,  but  *he  that  believeth  that 
JeGiis  is  the  Son  of  Godl 
6 This  is  he  that  came  “by  water 
and  blood,  even  J e-sus  -Ghnst ; not  by 
water  only,  but  by  water  and  blood. 

2' And  it  is  the  Spirit  that  beareth 
witness,  because  the  Spirit  is  truth. 

7  For  there  are  three  that  bear 
record  in  heaven,  the  Father,  '’the 
Word,  and  the  Holy  Ghost:  ‘^and 
these  three  are  one. 

8  And  there  are  three  that  bear 
witness  in  earth,  the  spirit,  and  the 
water,  and  the  blood : and  these 
three  agree  in  one. 

9  If  we  receive  •''the  witness  ot 
men,  the  witness  of  God  is  greater : 
'‘for  this  is  the  witness  of  God 
which  he  hath  testified  of  his  ^n. 

10  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son 
of  God  'hath  the  witness  in  him- 
self: he  that  believeth  not  God 
"‘hath  made  him  a liar  ; because  he 
believeth  not  the  record  that  God 
gave  of  his  Son.  i . 

11  “And  this  is  the  record,  that 
God  hath  given  to  us  eternal  life, 
and  ^this  life  is  in  his  Son. 

12  ^He  that  hath  the  Son  hath 
life  ; and  he  that  hath  not  the  Son 
of  God  hath  not  life. 

13  'These  things  have  I written 
unto  you  that  believe  on  the  name 
of  the  Son  of  God;  “that  ye  may 
know  that  ye  have  eternal  life,  and 
that  ye  may  believe  on  the  name  ot 
the  Son  of  God. 

14  And  this  is  the  confidence  that 
we  have  Hn  him,  that,  Gf  we  ask 
any  thing  according  to  his  will,  he 

heareth  us : , , i i 

15  And  if  we  know  that  he  hear 
us,  whatsoever  we  ask,  we  know 
that  we  have  the  petitions  that  we 
desired  of  him. 

16  If  any  man  see  his  brother  sin 


Exhortation  to  persevere  in  II.  JOHN. 


a sin  which  is  not  unto  death,  he 
shall  ask,  and  “he  shall  give  him  life 
for  them  that  sin  not  unto  death. 
‘'There  is  a sin  unto  death:  ‘^I  do 
not  say  that  he  shall  pray  for  it. 

17  -^All  unrighteousness  is  sin: 
and  there  is  a sin  not  unto  death. 

18  We  know  that  '"whosoever  is 
born  of  God  sinneth  not;  but  he 
that  is  begotten  of  God  *keepeth 
himself,  and  that  wicked  one  touch - 
eth  him  not.

4  I rejoiced  greatly  that  I found  of 
thy  children  'walking  in  truth,  as 
we  have  received  a commandment 
from  the  Father. 

5  And  now  I beseech  thee,  lady, 
*'not  as  though  I wrote  a new  com-

which  we  had  from  the  beginning, 
'that  we  love  one  another.

THE  GENERAL  EPISTLE  OP

teachers  are  crept  in  to  seduce  them.  20  Bow  the  godly

3  Beloved,  when  I gave  all  dili- 
gence to  write  unto  you  *of  the 
common  salvation,  it  was  needful 
for  me  to  write  unto  you,  and  ex- 
hort you  that  ”"ye  should  earnestly 
contend  for  the  faith  which  was 
once  delivered  unto  the  saints. 

4  ^For  there  are  certain  men  crept 
in  unawares,  «who  were  before  of 
old  ordained  to  this  condemnation, 
ungodly  men,  * turning  Ghe  grace 
of  our  God  into  lasciviousness,  and 
^denying  the  only  Lord  God,  and 
our  Lord  Je-sus  ■Christ. 

5  I will  therefore  put  you  in  re- 
membrance, though  ye  once  knew 
this,  how  that  Hhe  Lord,  having

9 I John,  who  also  am  your  bro- 
ther, and  companion  in  tribula- 
tion, and  ^ in  the  kingdom  and 
patience  of  Je-sus  -Christ,  was  in 
the  isle  that  is  called  Pat-mos,  ’for 
the  word  of  God,  and  for  the  testi- 
mony of  Je-siis  -Christ. 

10  ’“I  was  in  the  Spirit  on  “the 
Lord’s  day,  and  heard  behind  me 
^a  great  voice,  as  of  a trumpet, 

1 1 Saying,  I am  Al-pha  anci  O-me- 
ga,  the  first  and  the  last : and.  What 
thou  seest,  write  in  a book,  and 
send  it  unto  the  seven  churches

that  spake  Avith  me.  And  being 
turned,  saw  seven  golden  candle- 
sticks ; 

13  *And  in  the  midst  of  the  seven 
candlesticks  ‘^one  like  unto  the  Son 
of  man,  "clothed  with  a garment

sawest  are  the  seven  churches.

What  is  commanded  to  be  viritten  to  the  angels,  that  is, 
the  ministers  of  the  seven  churches. 

UNTO  the  angel  of  the  church  of 
Eph-6-sus  write  ; These  things 
saith  ‘'he  that  holdeth  the  seven 
stars  in  his  right  hand,  •''who  walk-

candlesticks ;

labour,  and  thy  patience,  and  how 
thou  canst  not  bear  them  which 
are  evil : and  *thou  hast  tried  them 
' which  say  they  are  apostles,  and 
are  not,  and  hast  found  them 
liars : 

3  And  hast  borne,  and  hast  pa- 
tience, and  for  my  name’s  sake  hast 
laboured,  and  hast  "not  fainted. 

4  Nevertheless  I have  somewhat 
against  thee,  because  thou  hast  left 
thy  first  love. 

5  Remember  therefore  from 
whence  thou  art  fallen,  and  repent, 
and  do  the  first  works ; Z^r  else  1 
will  come  unto  thee  quickly,  and 
will  remove  thy  candlestick  out  of 
his  place,  except  thou  repent. 

6  But  this  thou  hast,  that  thou 
hatest  the  deeds  of  the  Ni-e-5-la-i- 
tanes,  which  I also  hate.

saith  the  first  and  the  last,  which 
was  dead,  and  is  alive ;

of  'them  which  say  they  are  Jews,

prison,  that  ye  may  be  tried ; and 
ye  shall  have  tribulation  ten  days :

not  be  hurt  of  ^the  second  death.

saith  “he  which  hath  the  sharp

pas  was  my  faithful  martyr,  who

thee,  because  thou  hast  there  them 
that  hold  the  doctrine  of  ®Ba-laam,

Isda-el,  ^to  eat  things  sacrificed  unto

15  So  hast  thou  also  them  that 
hold  the  doctrine  of  the  Nic-5-la-i-

16  Repent;  or  else  I will  come 
unto  thee  quickly,  and  "‘will  fight 
against  them  with  the  sword  of  my 
mouth.

hear  what  the  Spirit  saith  unto  the

things  against  thee,  because  thou 
sufferest  that  woman  ® J ez-e-bel, 
which  calleth  herself  a prophetess, 
to  teach  and  to  seduce  my  servants 
“^to  commit  fornication,  and  to  eat 
things  sacrificed  unto  idols. 

21  And  I gave  her  space  ®to  repent 
of  her  fornication ; and  she  repented 
not. 

22  Behold,  I will  cast  her  into  a 
bed,  and  them  that  commit  adultery 
with  her  into  great  tribulation,  ex- 
cept they  repent  of  their  deeds. 

23  And  I will  kill  her  children 
with  death;  and  all  the  churches 
shall  know  that  ‘^1  am  he  which 
searcheth  the  reins  and  hearts  : and 
”I  will  give  unto  every  one  of  you 
according  to  your  works. 

24  But  unto  you  I say,  and  unto 
the  rest  in  Thy-a-ti-ra,  as  many  as 
have  not  this  doctrine,  and  which 
have  not  known  the  depths  of  Sa- 
tan, as  they  speak ; will  put  upon 
you  none  other  burden.

ready hold  fast  till  I come. 

26  And  he  that  overcometh,  and 
keepeth  *my  works  unto  the  end, 
*to  him  will  I give  power  over  the 
nations :

CHAPTER  3. 

What  John  was  commanded  to  write  to  the  churches  of 
1 Sardis,  7 Philadelphia,  14  Laodicea. 

AND  unto  the  angel  of  the  church 
J\.  in  Sar-dls  write;  These  things 
saith  he  ^that  hath  the  seven  Spirits 
of  God,  and  the  seven  stars ; know 
thy  works,  that  thou  hast  a name 
that  thou  livest,  ^and  art  dead. 

2 Be  watchful,  and  strengthen  the 
things  which  remain,  that  are  ready 
to  die:  for  I have  not  found  thy 
works  perfect  before  God. 

3 ‘’Remember  therefore  how  thou 
hast  received  and  heard,  and  hold 
fast,  and  repent.  ^If  therefore  thou 
shalt  not  watch,  I will  come  on  thee 
as  a thief,  and  thou  shalt  not  know 
what  hour  I will  come  upon  thee. 

4 Thou  hast  ’‘a  few  names  even  in 
Sar-dis  which  have  not  “defiled  their 
garments ; and  they  shall  walk  with 
me  “in  white : for  they  are  worthy. 

5 He  that  overcometh,  *the  same 
shall  be  clothed  in  white  raiment ; 
and  I will  not  ^blot  out  his  name

6 He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  him

7 And  to  the  angel  of  the  church 
in  .Phil-a-del-phi-a  write ; These

CHAPTER  4. 

3 John  seeth  the  throne  of  God  in  heaven.  4 The  four 

and,  twenty  elders.  6 The  four  beasts.  10  The  elders 

lay  down  their  crowns  before  the  throne. 

AFTER  this  I looked,  and,  behold, 
jt\.  a door  was  opened  in  heaven : 
and  the  first  voice  which  I heard 
was  as  it  were  of  a trumpet  talk- 
ing with  me ; which  said,  "‘Come 
up  hither,  "and  I will  shew  thee 
things  which  must  be  hereafter. 

2 And  immediately  "I  was  in  the 
spirit:  and,  behold,  ^a  throne  was 
set  in  heaven,  and  one  sat  on  the 
throne. 

3 And  he  that  sat  was  to  look 
upon  like  a jasper  and  a sardine 
stone : ® and  there  was  a rainbow 
round  about  the  throne,  in  sight 
like  unto  an  emerald. 

4 *And  round  about  the  throne 
were  four  and  twenty  seats : and 
upon  the  seats  I saw  four  and 
twenty  elders  sitting,  * clothed  in 
white  raiment ; and  they  had  on 
their  heads  crowns  of  gold. 

5 And  out  of  the  throne  proceeded 
High  tilings  and  thunderings  and 
voices : ‘'and  there  were  seven  lamps 
of  hre  burning  before  the  throne, 
which  are  ‘'the  seven  Spirits  of  God. 

6 And  before  the  throne  there  was 
* a sea  of  glass  like  unto  crystal : 
-''and  in  the  midst  of  the  throne,  and 
round  about  the  throne,  tvere  four 
beasts  full  of  eyes  before  and  behind. 

7 / And  the  first  beast  was  like 
a lion,  and  the  second  beast  like  a 
calf,  and  the  third  beast  had  a face 
as  a man,  and  the  fourth  beast  was 
like  a flying  eagle. 

8 And  the  f9ur  beasts  had  each  of 
them  "‘six  wings  ahoai  him;  and 
they  were  full  of  eyes  within : and 
■■'they  rest  not  day  and  night,  say- 
ing, "Holy,  holy,  holy,  ^Lord  God 
Almighty,  "which  was,  and  is,  and 
is  to  come. 

9 And  when  those  beasts  give

fall  down  before  him  that  sat  on 
the  throne,  and  worship  him  that 
liveth  for  ever  and  ever,  and  cast 
their  crowns  before  the  throne,

CHAPTER  5. 

1 The  book  sealed  with  seven  seals,  9 which  only  the 
Lamb  that  was  slain  is  worthy  to  open. 

AND  I saw  in  the  right  hand  of 
him  that  sat  on  the  throne  * a 
book  written  within  and  on  the 
backside,  'sealed  with  seven  seals. 

2 And  I saw  a strong  angel  pr9- 
claiming  with  a loud  voice.  Who  is 
worthy  to  open  the  book,  and  to 
loose  the  seals  thereof'? 

3 And  no  man  in  heaven,  nor  in 
earth,  neither  under  the  earth,  was 
able  to  open  the  book,  neither  to 
look  thereon. 

4 And  I wept  much,  because  no 
man  was  found  worthy  to  open  and 
to  read  the  book,  neither  to  look 
thereon. 

5 And  one  of  the  elders  saith  unto 
me.  Weep  not:  behold,  "the  Lion 
of  the  tribe  of  Ju-da,  ®the  Root  of 
Da-vid,  hath  prevailed  to  open  the 
book,  “and  to  loose  the  seven  seals 
thereof. 

6 And  I beheld,  and,  lo,  in  the 
midst  of  the  throne  and  of  the  four 
beasts,  and  in  the  midst  9f  the 
elders,  stood  ^a  Lamb  as  it  had 
been  slain,  having  seven  horns  and 
“seven  eyes,  which  are  ''the  seven 
Spirits  of  God  sent  forth  into  all 
the  earth. 

7 And  he  came  and  took  the  book 
out  of  the  right  hand  of  him  that 
sat  upon  the  throne. 

8 And  when  he  had  taken  the 
book,  ^ the  four  beasts  and  four  afid 
twenty  elders  fell  down  before  the 
Lamb,  having  every  one  of  them 
‘harps,  and  golden  vials  full  of 
' odours,  * which  are  the  prayers  of 
saints. 

9 And  'they  sung  a new  song, 
saying.  Thou  art  worthy  to  take 
the  book,  and  to  open  the  seals 
thereof : for  thou  wast  slain,  and 
"hast  redeemed  us  to  God  by  thy 
blood  ^out  of  every  kindred,  and 
tongue,  and  people,  and  nation ; 

10  *And  hast  made  us  unto  our

11  And  I beheld,  and  I heard  the 
voice  of  many  angels  round  about 
the  throne  and  the  beasts  and  the 
elders:  and  the  number  of  them 
was  ten  thousand  times  ten  thou- 
sand, and  thousands  of  thousands ; 

12  Saying  with  a loud  voice, 
‘’Worthy  is  the  Lamb  that  was 
slain  to  receive  power,  and  riches, 
and  wisdom,  and  strength,_  and 
honour,  and  glory,  and  blessing.^

Opening  of  the  seals  in  order,  and  what  followed  there- 
upon, containing  a prophecy  to  the  end  of  the  world,. 

AND  I saw  when  the  Lamb  opened 
one  of  the  seals,  and  I heard, 
as  it  were  the  noise  of  thunder, 
“one  of  the  four  beasts  saying.  Come 
and  see. 

2 And  I saw,  and  behold  ^ a white 
horse  : *and  he  that  sat  on  him  had 
a bow;  *and  a crown  was  given 
unto  him  : and  he  went  forth  con- 
quering, and  to  conquer. 

3 And  when  he  had  opened  the 
second  seaL  ‘’I  heard  the  second 
beast  say.  Come  and  see. 

4 ®And  there  went  out  another 
horse  _ that  was  red : and  power 
was  given  to  him  that  sat  thereon 
to  take  peace  from  the  earth,  and 
that  they  should  kill  one  another : 
and  there  was  given  unto  him  a 
great  sword. 

5 And  when  he  had  opened  the 
third  seal,  ^ I heard  the  third  beast 
say.  Come  and  see.  And  I beheld, 
and  lo  *a  black  horse ; and  he  that 
sat  on  him  had  a pair  of  balances 
in  his  hand. 

6 And  I heard  a voice  in  the  midst 
of  the  four  beasts  say,  ® A measure 
of  wheat  for  a penny,  and  three 
measures  of  barley  for  a penny: 
and  ^see  thou  hurt  not  the  oil  and 
the  wine. 

7 And  when  he  had  opened  the 
fourth  seal,  “I  heard  the  voice  of 
the  fourth  beast  say.  Come  and  see. 

8 “And  I looked,  and  behold  a 
pale  horse : and  his  name  that 
sat  on  him  was  Death,  and  Hell 
followed  with  him.  And  power

10  And  they  cried  with  a loud 
voice,  saying,  ^How  long,  O Lord, 
‘holy  and  true,  ""dost  thou  not 
judge  and  avenge  our  blood  on 
them  that  dwell  on  the  earth  1 

1 1 And  “ white  robes  were  given 
unto  every  one  of  them  ; and  it  was 
said  unto  them,  ^ that  they  should 
rest  yet  for  a little  season,  until 
their  fellowservants  also  and  their 
brethren,  that  should  be  killed  as 
they  were,  should  be  fulfilled. 

12  And  I beheld  when  he  had 
opened  the  sixth  seal,  ""and,  lo. 
there  was  a great  earthquake ; and 
* the  sun  became  black  as  sackcloth 
of  hair,  and  the  moon  became  as 
blood ; 

13  ‘And  the  stars  of  heaven  fell 
unto  the  earth,  even  as  a fig  tree 
casteth  her  ^untimely  figs,  when 
she  is  shaken  of  a mighty  wind. 

14  “’And  the  heaven  departed  as 
a scroll  when  it  is  rolled  together ; 
and  “every  mountain  and  island 
were  moved  out  of  their  places. 

15  And  the  kings  of  the  earth,  and 
the  great  men,  and  the  rich  men, 
and  the  chief  captains,  and  the 
mighty  men,  and  every  bondman, 
and  every  free  man,  ‘‘  hid  themselves 
in  the  dens  and  in  the  rocks  of  the

CHAPTER  7. 

3 An  angel  sealeth  the  servants  of  God.  4 The  number 
of  them  that  were  sealed. 

AND  after  these  things  I saw 
x\-  four  angels  standing  on  the 
four  corners  of^  the  earth,  * hold- 
ing the  four  winds  of  the  earth, 
"‘that  the  wind  should  not  blow 
on  the  earth,  nor  on  the  sea,  nor 
on  any  tree. 

2 And  I saw  another  angel  ascend- 
ing from  the  east,  having  the  seal  cjp 
the  living  God : and  he  cried  with 
a loud  voice  to  the  four  angels,  to 
whom  it  was  given  to  hurt  the 
earth  and  the  sea. 


244 


The  number  of  the  sealed. 

3 Saying,  “Hurt  not  the  earth, 
neither  the  sea,  nor  the  trees,  till 
we  have  ^sealed  the  servants  of 
our  God  "in  their  foreheads. 

4 ®And  I heard  the  number  of 
them  which  were  sealed : and 
there  were  sealed  ^an  hundred  and 
forty  and  four  thousand  of  all  the 
tribes  of  the  children  of  Is-ra-el. 

5 Of  the  tribe  of  Ju-da  were  sealed 
twelve  thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of 
Eeu-ben  were  sealed  twelve  thou- 
sand. Of  the  tribe  of  Gad  were 
sealed  twelve  thousand. 

6 Of  the  tribe  of  A-ser  were  sealed 
twelve  thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of 
NSp-tha-lim  ivere  sealed  twelve 
thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of  Ma-nas- 
ses  were  sealed  twelve  thousand. 

7 Of  the  tribe  of  Sim-6-5n  were 
sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of  the 
tribe  of  Le-vi  were  sealed  twelve 
thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of  Is-sa- 
ehar  were  sealed  twelve  thousand. 

8 Of  the  tribe  of  Zab-u-l5n  were 
sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of  the 
tribe  of  Joseph  tvere  sealed  twelve 
thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of  BSn-ja- 
min  were  sealed  twelve  thousand. 

9 After  this  I beheld,  and,  lo,  "a 
great  multitude,  which  no  man 
could  number,  ^of  all  nations,  and 
kindreds,  and  people,  and  tongues, 
stood  before  tne  throne,  and  be- 
fore the  Lamb,  * clothed  with  white 
robes,  and  palms  in  their  hands  ; 

10  And  cried  with  a loud  voice, 
saying,  * Salvation  to  our  God 
“which  sitteth  upon  the  throne, 
and  unto  the  Lamb. 

1 1 And  all  the  angels  stood  round 
about  the  throne,  and  about  the 
elders  and  the  four  beasts,  and  fell 
before  the  throne  on  their  faces, 
and  worshipped  God, 

12  **  Saying,  A.-men' : Blessing,  and 
glory,  and  wisdom,  and  thanks- 
giving, and  honour,  and  power,  and 
might,  be  unto  our  God  for  ever 
and  ever.  A-m6n'. 

13  And  one  of  the  elders  answered, 
saying  unto  me,  What  are  these 
which  are  arrayed  in  ^ white  robes 
and  whence  came  they  1 

1 4 And  I said  unto  hiin.  Sir,  thou 
knowest.  And  he  said  to  me, 
* These  are  they  which  came  out  of 
great  tribulation,  and  have  * washed 
their  robes,  and  made  them  white 
in  the  blood  of  the  Lamb. 

15  Therefore  are  they  before  the 
throne  of  God,  and  serve  him  day 
and  night  in  his  temple : and  he 
that  sitteth  on  the  throne  shall 
“dwell  among  them. 

16  ^They  shall  hunger  no  more, 
neither  thirst  any  more;  ’’neither 


Four  trumpets  sounded. 

shall  the  sun  light  on  them,  nor 

any  heat. 

17  For  the  Lamb  which  is  in  the 
midst  of  the  throne  shall  feed 
them,  and  shall  lead  them  unto  liv- 
ing fountains  of  waters  : -^and  God 
shall  wipe  away  all  tears  from  their 
eyes. 

CHAPTEB  8. 

1 The  opening  of  the  seventh  seal,  i The  seven  angels. 

6 Four  trumpets  sound,  amd,  great  plagues  follow. 

AND  ^when  he  had  opened  the 
]\.  seventh  seal,  there  was  silence 
in  heaven  about  the  space  of  half 
an  hour. 

2 *And  I saw  the  seven  angels 
which  stood  before  God ; * and  to 
them  were  given  seven  trumpets. 

3 And  another  angel  came  and 
stood  at  the  altar,  having  a golden 
censer;  and  there  was  given  unto 
him  much  incense,  that  he  should 
^ offer  it  with  Hhe  prayers  of  all 
saints  upon  ""the  golden  altar  which 
was  before  the  throne. 

4 And  "the  smoke  of  the  incense, 
which  came  with  the  prayers  of  the 
saints,  ascended  up  before  God  out 
of  the  angel’s  hand. 

5 And  the  angel  took  the  censer, 
and  filled  it  with  fire  of  the  altar, 
and  cast  it  ^ into  the  earth : and 
^ there  were  voices,  and  thunder- 
ings,  and  lightnings,  ’’and  an  earth- 
quake. 

6 And  the  seven  angels  which  had 
the  seven  trumpets  prepared  them- 
selves to  sound. 

7 The  first  angel  sounded,  *and 
there  followed  hail  and  fire  mingled 
with  blood,  and  they  were  cast  * up- 
on the  earth : and  tne  third  part  “of 
trees  was  burnt  up,  and  all  green 
grass  was  burnt  up. 

8 And  the  second  angel  sounded, 
‘‘and  as  it  were  a great  mountain 
burning  with  fire  was  cast  into  the 
sea : ^ and  the  third  part  of  the  sea 

* became  blood ; 

9 '^And  the  third  part  of  the  crea- 
tures which  were  in  the  sea,  and 
had  life,  died ; and  the  third  part 
of  the  ships  were  destroyed. 

10  And  the  third  angel  sounded, 
^and  there  fell  a great  star  from 
heaven,  burning  as  it  were  a lamp, 

* and  it  fell  upon  the  third  part  of 
the  rivers,  and  upon  the  fountains 
of  waters ; 

11  ""And  the  name  of  the  star  is 
called  Wormwood : "and  the  third 
part  of  the  waters  became  worm- 
wood ; and  many  men  died  of  the 
waters,  because  they  were  made 
bitter.

and  the  third  part  of  the  sun  was

smitten,  and  the  third  part  of  the 
moon,  and  the  third  part  of  the 
stars : so  as  the  third  part  of  them 
was  darkened,  and  the  day  shone 
not  for  a third  part  of  it,  and  the 
night  likewise.  ^ ^ i 

13  And  I beheld,  ^and  heard  an 
angel  flying  through  the  inidst  of 
heaven,  saying  with  a ted  voice, 
‘'Woe,  woe,  woe,  to  the  inhabiters 
of  the  earth  by  reason  of  the  other 
voices  of  the  trumpet  of  the  three 
angels,  which  are  yet  to  sound ! 

CHAPTER  9. 

1 The  fift^  O'^gel  soundeth  : a star  falUth  from  heaven. 

12  The  first  woe  past:  the  sixth  trumpet  soundeth. 

AND  the  fifth  angel  sounded,  ®and 
XJL  I saw  a star  fall  from  heaven 
unto  the  earth:  and  to  him  was 
given  the  key  of  ^the  bottomless 
pit. 

2 And  he  opened  the  bottomless 
pit ; ^and  there  arose  a smoke  out 
of  the  pit,  as  the  smoke  of  a great 
furnace;  and  the  sun  and  the  air 
were  darkened  by  reason  of  the 
smoke  of  the  pit. 

3 And  there  came  out  of  the  smoke 
’^locusts  upon  the  earth:  and  unto 
them  was  given  power,  ’"as  the  scor- 
pions of  the  earth  have  power. 

4 And  it  was  commanded  them 
‘’that  they  should  not  hurt  ^the 
grass  of  the  earth,  neither  any 
green  thing,  neither  any  tree ; but 
only  those  men  which  have  not  *the 
seal  of  God  in  their  foreheads. 

5 And  to  them  it  was  given  that 
they  should  not  kill  them,  *but 
that  they  should  be  tormented  five 
months : and  their  torment  vjas  as 
the  torment  of  a scorpion,  when  he 
striketh  a man. 

6 And  in  those  days  “shall  men 
seek  death,  and  shall  not  find  it; 
and  shall  desire  to  die,  and  death 
shall  flee  from  them. 

7 And  Hhe  shapes  of  the  locusts 
were  like  unto  horses  prepared  unto 
battle  ; ‘"and  on  their  heads  were  as 
it  were  crowns  like  gold,  ‘'and  their 
faces  were  as  the  faces  of  men. 

8 And  they  had  hair  as  the  hair 
of  women,  and  their  teeth  were  as 
the  teeth  of  lions. 

9 And  they  had  breastplates,  as  it 
were  breastplates  of  iron ; and  the 
sound  of  their  wings  was  ^as  the 
sound  of  chariots  of  many  horses 
running  to  battle. 

10  And  they  had  tails  like  unto 
scorpions,  and  there  were  stings  in 
their  tails:  "and  their  power  was 
to  hurt  men  five  months. 

11  * And  they  had  a king  over 
them,  which  is  ”"the  angel  of  the

12  “One  woe  is  past ; and,  behold, 
there  come  two  woes  more  hero- 
after. 

13  And  the  sixth  angel  sounded, 

and  I heard  a voice  from  the  four 
horns  of  the  golden  altar  which  is 
before  God,  , , . , 

14  Saying  to  the  sixth  angel  which 
had  the  trumpet.  Loose  the  four 
angels  which  are  bound  "^in  the 
great  river  Eu-phra-tes. 

15  And  the  four  angels  were  loosed, 
which  were  prepared  ^for  an  hour, 
and  a day,  and  a month,  and  a year, 
for  to  slay  the  third  part  of  men. 

16  And  -^the  number  of  the  army 
'"of  the  horsemen  were  two  hundred 
thousand  thousand : * and  I heard 
the  number  of  them. 

17  And  thus  I saw  the  horses  in 
the  vision,  and  them  that  sat  on 
them,  having  breastplates  of  fire, 
and  of  jacinth,  and  brimstone : ^and 
the  heads  of  the  horses  were  as  the 
heads  of  lions ; and  out  of  their 
mouths  issued  fire  and  smoke  and 
brimstone. 

18  By  these  three  was  the  third 

part  of  men  killed,  by  the  fire,  and 
by  the  smoke,  and  by  the  brim- 
stone, which  issued  out  of  th^ir 
mouths.  . . 

19  For  their  power  is  in  their 

mouth,  and  in  their  tails : "'for  their 
tails  were  like  unto  serpents,  and 
had  heads,  and  with  them  they  do 
hurt.  „ , ... 

20  And  the  rest  of  the  men  which 

were  not  killed  by  these  plagues 
*yet  repented  not  of  the  works  of 
their  hands,  that  they  should  not 
worship  '"devils,  ^and  idols  of  gold, 
and  silver,  and  brass,  and  stone, 
and  of  wood : which  neither  can 
see,  nor  hear,  nor  walk  : ... 

21  Neither  repented  they  of  their 
murders,  '’nor  of  their  sorceries,  nor 
of  their  fornication,  nor  of  their 
thefts.

AND  I saw  another  mighty  an- 
gel  come  down  from  heaven, 
clothed  with  a cloud : •''and  a rain- 
bow was  upon  his  head,  and  ^his 
face  was  as  it  were  the  sun,  and 
'"his  feet  as  pillars  of  fire: 

2 And  he  had  in  his  hand  a little 
book  open : "'and  he  set,  his  right 
foot  upon  the  sea,  and  his  left  foot 
on  the  earth, 

3 And  cried  with  a loud  voice,  as

when  a lion  roareth : and  when  he 
had  cried,  “seven  thunders  uttered 
their  voices. 

4 And  when  the  seven  thunders 
had  uttered  their  voices,  I was 
about  to  write : and  I heard  a voice 
from  heaven  saying  unto  me,  ‘^Seal 
up  those  things  which  the  seven 
thunders  uttered,  and  write  them 
not. 

5 And  the  angel  which  I saw  stand 
upon  the  sea  and  upon  the  earth 
S' lifted  up  his  hand  to  heaven, 

6 And  sware  by  him  that  liveth 
for  ever  and  ever,  *who  created 
heaven,  and  the  things  that  therein 
are,  ana  the  earth,  and  the  things 
that  therein  are,  and  the  sea,  and 
the  things  which  are  therein,  "‘that 
there  should  be  time  no  longer : 

7 But  “in  the  days  of  the  voice  of 
the  seventh  angel,  when  he  shall 
begin  to  sound,  the  mystery  of  God 
should  be  finished,  as  he  hath  de- 
clared to  his  servants  the  prophets. 

8 And  *the  voice  which  I heard 
from  heaven  spake  unto  me  again, 
and  said,  Go  ard  take  the  little 
book  which  is  open  in  the  hand  of 
the  angel  which  standeth  upon  the 
sea  and  upon  the  earth. 

9 And  I went  unto  the  angel,  and 
said  unto  him.  Give  me  the  little 
book.  And  he  said  unto  me,  ’"Take 
it,  and  eat  it  up  ; and  it  shall  make 
thy  belly  bitter,  but  it  shall  be  in 
thy  mouth  sweet  as  honey. 

10  And  I took  the  little  book  out 
of  the  angel’s  hand,  and  ate  it  up ; 
“and  it  was  in  my  mouth  sweet  as 
honey : and  as  soon  as  I had  eaten 
it,  ‘^my  belly  was  bitter. 

11  And  he  said  unto  me.  Thou 
must  prophesy  again  before  many 
peoples,  and  nations,  and  tongues, 
and  kings.

AND  there  was  given  me  ^a  reed

stood,  saying,  ""‘Rise,  and  measure

and  them  that  worship  therein. 

2 But  “the  court  which  is  without

4 These  are  the  “two  olive  trees. 


and  the  two  candlesticks  standing 
before  the  God  of  the  earth. 

5 And  if  any  man  will  hurt  them, 
^fire  proceedeth  out  of  their  mouth, 
and  devoureth  their  enemies  ; “and 
if  any  man  will  hurt  them,  he  must 
in  this  manner  be  killed. 

6 These  “have  power  to  shut  hea- 
ven, that  it  rain  not  in  the  days  of 
their  prophecy  : and  •''have  power 
over  waters  to  turn  them  to  blood, 
and  to  smite  the  earth  with  all 
plagues,  as  often  as  they  will. 

7 And  when  they  ^ shall  have 
finished  their  testimony,  *the  beast 
that  ascendeth  ^out  of  the  bottom- 
less pit  "“shall  make  war  against 
them,  and  shall  overcome  them, 
and  kill  them. 

8 And  their  dead  bodies  shall  lie 
in  the  street  of  -^the  great  city, 
which  spiritually  is  called  S6d-6m 
and  E-gypt,  ^ where  also  our  Lord 
was  crucified. 

9 ""And  they  of  the  people  and 
kindreds  and  tongues  and  nations 
shall  see  their  dead  bodies  three 
days  and  an  half,  *and  shall  not 
suffer  their  dead  bodies  to  be  put 
in  graves. 

10  “And  they  that  dwell  upon  the 
earth  shall  rejoice  over  them,  and 
make  merry,  "“and  shall  send  gifts 
one  to  another ; * because  these  two 
prophets  tormented  them  that  d we  4 
on  the  earth. 

11“  And  after  three  days  and  an 
half  *the  Spirit  of  life  from  God 
entered  into  them,  and  they  stood 
upon  their  feet ; and  great  fear  fell 
upon  them  which  saw  them. 

12  And  they  heard  a great  voice 
from  heaven  saying  unto  them. 
Come  up  hither.  “And  they  ascend- 
ed up  to  heaven  •''in  a cloud ; ^and 
their  enemies  beheld  them. 

13  And  the  same  hour  ^was  there 
a great  earthquake,  ‘and  the  tenth 
part  of  the  city  fell,  and  in  the 
earthquake  were  slain  ^ of  men 
seven  thousand : and  the  remnant 
were  affrighted,  *and  gave  glory 
to  the  God  of  heaven. 

14  ""The  second  woe  is  past; 
and,  behold,  the  third  woe  cometh 
quickly. 

15  And  ^the  seventh  angel  sound- 
ed ; ""and  there  were  great  voices  in 
heaven,  saying,  *The  kingdoms  of 
this  world  are  become  the  kingdoms 
of  our  Lord,  and  of  his  Christ ; "“and 
he  shall  reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

16  And  “the  four  and  twenty 
elders,  which  sat  before  God  on 
their  seats,  fell  upon  their  faces, 
and  worshipped  God, 

17  Saying,  We  give  thee  thanks,

is  cast  out  of  heaven. 


O Lord  God  Almighty,  “which  art, 
and  wast,  and  art  to  come ; because 
thou  hast  taken  to  thee  thy  great 
power.  ®and  hast  reigned. 

18  ‘^And  the  nations  were  angry, 
and  thy  wrath  is  come,  -^and  the 
time  of  the  dead,  that  they  should 
be  judged,  and  that  thou  shouldest 
give  reward  unto  thy  servants  the 
prophets,  and  to  the  saints,  and 
them  that  fear  thy  name,  * small 
and  great:  ^and  shouldest  destroy 
them  which  hlestroy  the  earth. 

19  And  ’"the  temple  of  God  was 
opened  in  heaven,  and  there  was 
seen  in  his  temple  the  ark  of  his 
testament : and  ^there  were  light- 
nings, and  voices,  and  thunderings, 
and  an  earthquake,  ®and  great  hail. 

CHAPTER  12. 

1 A womoAi  clothed  vnth  the  sun  travaileth.  9 The 
great  dragon  is  cast  out  of  heaven. 

AND  there  appeared  a great  ^won- 
XX  der  in  heaven  • a woman  clothed 
with  the  sun,  and  the  moon  under 
her  feet,  and  upon  her  head  a crown 
of  twelve  stars : 

2 And  she  being  with  child  cried, 
^travailing  in  birth,  and  pained  to 
be  delivered. 

3 And  there  appeared  another 
^wonder  in  heaven ; and  behold 
“a  great  red  dragon,  ^having  seven 
heads  and  ten  horns,  ®and  seven 
crowns  upon  his  heads. 

4 And  “^his  tail  drew  the  third 
part  ®of  the  stars  of  heaven,  •'^and 
did  cast  them  to  the  earth : and  the 
dragon  stood  '"before  the  woman 
which  was  ready  to  be  delivered, 
*for  to  devour  her  child  as  soon  as 
it  was  born. 

5 And  she  brought  forth  a man 
child,  ""who  was  to  rule  all  nations 
with  a rod  of  iron : and  her  child 
was  caught  up  unto  God,  and  to  his 
throne. 

6 And  "the  woman  fled  into  the 
wilderness,  where  she  hath  a place 
prepared  of  God,  that  they  should 
feed  her  there  ^a  thousand  two 
hundred  and  threescore  days. 

7 And  there  was  war  in  heaven ; 
*Mi^ha-el  and  his  angels  fought 
* against  the  dragon;  and  the  dragon 
fought  and  his  angels, 

8 And  prevailed  not ; neither  was 
their  place  found  any  more  in 
heaven. 

9 And  "the  great  dragon  was  cast 
out, /that  old  serpent,  called  the 
Devil,  and  Sa-tan,  •’'which  deceiveth 
the  whole  world : ^he  was  cast  out 
into  the  earth,  and  his  angels  were 
cast  out  with  him. 

10  And  I heard  a loud  voice  say-

•Ghrist : for  the  accuser  of  our  bre- 
thren is  cast  down,  "which  accused 
them  before  our  God  day  and  night. 

1 1 And  ^they  overcame  him  by  the 
blood  of  the  Lamb,  and  by  the  word 
of  their  testimony ; '"and  they  loved 
not  their  lives  unto  the  death.

down  unto  you,  having  great  wrath,

but  a short  time. 

1 3 And  when  the  dragon  saw  that 
he  was  cast  unto  the  earth,  he  per- 
secuted "the  woman  which  brought 
forth  the  man  child. 

14  "'And  to  the  woman  were  given 
two  wings  of  a great  eagle,  Hhat  she 
might  fly  ""into  the  wilderness,  into 
her  place,  where  she  is  nourished 
""for  a time,  and  times,  and  half  a 
time,  from  the  face  of  the  serpent. 

15  And  the  serpent  ^cast  out  of  his 
mouth  water  as  a flood  after  the 
woman,  that  he  might  cause  her  to 
be  carried  away  of  the  flood. 

1 6 And  the  earth  helped  the 
woman,  and  the  earth  opened  her 
mouth,  and  swallowed  up  the  flood 
which  the  dragon  cast  out  of  his 
mouth. 

1 7 And  the  dragon  was  wroth  with 
the  woman,  ^^and  went  to  make 
war  with  the  remnant  of  her  seed,

CHAPTER  13. 

1 A beast  riseth  out  of  the  sea.  11  Another  heatt 
cometh  up  out  of  the  earth. 

AND  I stood  upon  the  sand  of  the 
XX  sea,  and  saw  "a  beast  rise  up 
out  of  tne  sea,  ^having  seven  heads 
and  ten  horns,  and  upon  his  horns 
ten  crowns,  and  upon  his  heads  the 
'‘name  of  blasphemy. 

2 "And  the  beast  which  I saw  was 
like  unto  a leopard,  *and  his  feet 
were  as  the  feet  of  a bear,  “and  his 
mouth  as  the  mouth  of  a lion : and 
^’the  dragon  gave  him  his  power, 
^and  his  seat,  “and  great  authority. 

3 And  I saw  one  of  his  heads  ^as 
it  were  ® wounded  to  death;  and  his 
deadly  wound  was  healed : and  "'all 
the  world  wondered  after  the  beast. 

4 And  they  worshipped  the  dragon

5 And  there  was  given  unto  him 
“a  mouth  speaking  great  things 
and  blasphemies;  and  power  was 
given  unto  him  Ho  continue  ^ forty

6 And  he  opened  his  mouth  in

7 And  it  was  given  unto  him  ^to

CHAPTER  14. 

I The  Lamb  standing  on  mount  Sion.  8 The  fall  of 

Babylon.  15  The  harvest  of  the  world. 

AND  I looked,  and,  lo,  "a  Lamb 
stood  on  the  mount  Si-6n,  and 
with  him  ‘'an  hundred  forty  aTid 
four  thousand,  "having  his  Father’s 
name  written  in  their  foreheads. 

2 And  I heard  a voice  from  heaven, 
'"as  the  voice  of  many  waters,  and  as 
the  voice  of  a great  thunder : and  I 
heard  the  voice  of  * harpers  harping 
with  their  harps : 

3 And  'they  sung  as  it  were  a new 
song  before  the  throne,  and  before 
the  four  beasts,  and  the  elders : and 
no  man  could  learn  that  song  but 
the  hundred  and  forty  and  four 
thousand,  which  were  redeemed 
from  the  earth. 

4 These  are  they  which  were  not 
defiled  with  women ; ®for  they  are 
virgins.  These  are  they  "which 
follow  the  Lamb  whithersoever  he 
goeth.  These  “ were ^ redeemed  from 
among  men,  being  the  firstfruits 
unto  God  and  to  the  Lamb. 

5 And  "in  their  mouth  was  found 
no  guile : for  “they  are  without  fault 
before  the  throne  of  God. 

6 And  I saw  another  angel  ''fly  in 
the  midst  of  heaven,  "having  the 
everlasting  gospel  to  preach  unto 
them  that  dwell  on  the  earth,  ‘'and 
to  every  nation,  and  kindred,  and 
tongue,  and  people, 

7 Saying  with  a loud  voice,  ^Fear 
God,  and  give  glory  to  him ; for  the 
hour  of  his  judgment  is  come:  'and 
worship  him  that  made  heaven,  and 
earth,  and  the  sea,  and  the  foun- 
tains of  waters. 

8 And  there  followed  another  an- 
gel, saying,  ""Bab-y-l5n  is  fallen,  is 
fallen,  ""that  great  city,  because  she 
made  all  nations  drink  of  the  wine 
of  the  wrath  of  her  fornication. 

9 And  the  third  angel  followed 
them,  saying  with  a loud  voice,  ^If 
any  man  worship  the  beast  and  his 
image,  and  receive  his  mark  in  his 
forehead,  or  in  his  hand, 

10  The  same  "‘shall  drink  of  the 
wine  of  the  wrath  of  God,  which  is 
"poured  out  without  rnixture  into 
Hhe  cup  of  his  indignation ; and  “he 
shall  be  tormented  with  ^fire  and 
brimstone  in  the  presence  of  the 
holy  angels,  and  in  the  presence  of 
the  Lamb : 

II  And  '’the  smoke  of  their  tor- 
ment ascendeth  up  for  ever  and 
ever : and  they  have  no  rest  day 
nor  night,  who  worship  the  beast 
and  his  image,  and  whosoever  re- 
ceiveth  the  mark  of  his  name. 

12  -'Here  is  the  patience  of  the

saints : “ here  are  they  that  keep 
the  commandments  of  God,  and  the 
faith  of  Je%us. 

13  And  I heard  a voice  from  heav- 

en saying  unto  me,  Write,  ‘^Blessed 
are  the  dead  ® which  die  in  the  Lord 
^from  henceforth:  Yea,  saith  the 
Spirit,  ■'that  they  may  rest  from 
their  labours ; and  their  works  do 
follow  them.  . 

14  And  I looked,  and  behold  a 
white  cloud,  and  upon  the  cloud 
one  sat  ^ like  unto  the  Son  of  man, 

* having  on  his  head  a golden  crown, 
and  in  his  hand  a sharp  sickle. 

15  Ajid  another  angel  'came  out 
of  the  temple,  crying  with  a loud 
voice  to  him  that  sat  on  the  cloud, 
•Thrust  in  thy  sickle,  and  reap : for 
the  time  is  come  for  thee  to  reap ; 
for  the  harvest  «of  the  earth  is  ^ripe. 

16  And  he  that  sat  on  the  cloud 
thrust  in  his  sickle  on  the  earth; 
and  the  earth  was  reaped. 

17  And  another  angel  came  out  of 
the  temple  which  is  in  heaven,  he 
also  having  a sharp  sickle. 

18  And  another  angel  came  out 

from  the  altar,  "which  had  power 
over  fire ; and  cried  with  a loud  cry 
to  him  that  had  the  sharp  sickle, 
saying,  “Thrust  in  thy  sharp  sickle, 
and  gather  the  clusters  of  the  vine 
of  the  earth;  for  her  grapes  are 
fully  ripe.  . i • 

19  And  the  angel  thrust  in  his 
sickle  into  the  earth,  and  gathered 
the  vine  of  the  earth,  and  cast  it 
into  '’the  great  winepress  of  the 
wrath  of  God. 

20  And  ‘'the  winepress  was  trod- 
den ® without  the  city,  and  blood 
came  out  of  the  winepress,  '‘even 
unto  the  horse  bridles,  by  the  space 
of  a thousand  and  six  hundred  fur- 
longs. 

CHAPTER  15. 

1 The  seven  last  plagues.  3 The  song  of  the  victors. 

7 The  seven  vials  full  of  the  m-ath  of  God. 

AND  ’"I  saw  another  sign  in  hea- 
ven,  great  and  marvellous, 
•seven  angels  having  the  seven  last 
plagues ; ^ for  in  them  is  filled  up 
the  wrath  of  God. 

2 And  I saw  as  it  were  ’'a  sea  of

tions shall  come  and  worship  be- 
fore thee;  for  thy  judgments  are 
made  manifest. 

5 And  after  that  I looked,  and, 
behold,  ^'the  temple  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  testimony  in  heaven 
was  opened : 

6 And  the  seven  angels  came  out 
of  the  temple,  having  the  seven 
plagues,  'clothed  in  pure  and  white 
linen,  and  having  their  breasts  gird- 
ed with  golden  girdles. 

7 "‘And  one  of  the  four  beasts  gave 
unto  the  seven  angels  seven  golden 
vials  full  of  the  wrath  of  God,  “who 
liveth  for  ever  and  ever. 

8 And  ^the  temple  was  filled  with 
smoke  ^from  the  glory  of  God,  and 
from  his  power;  and  no  man  was 
able  to  enter  into  the  temple,  till 
the  seven  plagues  of  the  seven  an- 
gels were  fulfilled. 

CHAPTER  16. 

2 The  angels  pour  out  their  vials.  6 The  plagues  that 
follow.  15  Christ  cometh  as  a thief. 

AND  I heard  a great  voice  out  of 
the  temple  saying  'to  the  seven 
angels.  Go  your  ways,  and  pour  out 
the  vials  ‘"of  the  wrath  of  God  upon 
the  earth. 

2 And  the  first  went,  and  poured 
out  his  vial  ^u^on  the  earth  ; and 
Hhere  fell  a noisome  and  grievous 
sore  upon  the  men  “which  had  the 
mark  of  the  beast,  and  upon  them 
•which  worshipped  his  image. 

3 And  the  second  angel  poured 
out  his  vial  •''upon  the  sea  ; and  ^it 
became  as  the  blood  of  a dead  man : 
'and  every  living  soul  died  in  the 
sea. 

4 And  the  third  angel  poured  out 
his  vial  '’upon  the  rivers  and  foun- 
tains of  waters;  'and  they  became 
blood. 

5 And  I heard  the  angel  of  the 
waters  say,  “Thou  art  righteous,  O 
Lord,  which  art,  and  wast,  and  shalt 
be,  because  thou  hast  judged  thus. 

6 For  ®they  have  shed  the  blood 
"of  saints  and  prophets,  'and  thou 
hast  given  them  blood  to  drink  ; for 
they  are  worthy. 

7 And  I heard  another  out  of  the 
altar  say.  Even  so,  ^Lord  God  Al- 
mighty, Hrue  and  righteous  are 
thy  judgments. 

8 And  the  fourth  angel  poured  out 
his  vial  •upon  the  sun  ; ‘'and  power 
was  given  unto  him  to  scorch  men 
V ith  fire. 

9 And  men  were  ^scorched  with 
great  heat,  and  blasphemed  the

name  of  God,  which  hath  power 
over  these  plagues:  “and  they  re- 
pented not  ‘’to  give  him  glory. 

10  And  the  fifth  angel  poured 

out  his  vial  •''upon  the  seat  of  the 
beast;  ^and  his  kingdom  was  full 
of  darkness;  * and  they  gnawed 
their  tongues  for  pain,  ^ . 

11  And  blasphemed  the  God  ot 
heaven  because  of  their  pains  and 
their  sores,  and  repented  not  of 
their  deeds. 

12  And  the  sixth  angel  poured  out 
his  vial  ^‘upon  the  great  river  Eu- 
phra-tes;  ^and  the  water  thereof 
was  dried  up,  «that  the  way  of  the 
kings  of  the  east  might  be  prepared. 

13  And  I saw  three  unclean  ^spirits 
like  frogs  come  out  of  the  mouth  of 
“the  dragon,  and  out  of  the  mouth 
of  the  beast,  and  out  of  the  mouth 
of  ^the  false  prophet. 

14  For  they  are  the  spirits  of 
devils,  working  miracles,  which  go 
forth  unto  the  kings  of  the  earth 
®and  of  the  whole  world,  to  gather 
them  to  •’'the  battle  of  that  great 
day  of  God  Almighty. 

15  ^Behold,  I come  as  a thief. 
Blessed  is  he  that  watcheth,  and 
keepeth  his  garments,  dest  he  walk 
naked,  and  they  see  his  shame. 

16  ""And  he  gathered  them  to- 

S ether  into  a place  called  in  the 
[e-brew  tongue  Ar-ma-ged-d5n. 

17  And  the  seventh  angel  poured 
out  his  vial  into  the  air ; and  there 
came  a great  voice  out  of  the  tem- 
ple of  heaven,  from  the  throne, 
saying,  “It  is  done. 

18  And  ‘’there  were  voices,  and 
thunders,  and  lightnings ; ^and  there 
was  a great  earthquake,  “such  as  was 
not  since  men  were  upon  the  earth, 
so  mighty  an  earthquake,  and  so 
great. 

19  And  ^the  great  city  was  divided 
into  three  parts,  and  the  cities  of 
the  nations  fell : and  great  Bab-y- 
lOn  ^came  in  remembrance  before 
God,  “to  give  unto  her  the  cup  of 
the  wine  of  the  fierceness  of  his 
wrath. 

20  And  ‘’every  island  fled  away, 
and  the  mountains  were  not  found. 
2 1 ‘'And  there  fell  upon  men  a great 
hail  out  of  heaven,  every  stone  about 
the  weight  of  a talent ; and  men 
blasphemed  God  because  of  *the 
plague  of  the  hail ; for  the  plague 
thereof  was  exceeding  great.

vials,  and  talked  with  me,  _ saying 
unto  me.  Come  hither  ; '’I  will  ahew 
unto  thee  the  judgment  of  ‘'the 
great  whore  Hhat  sitteth  upon  many 
waters : 

2 '"With  whom  the  kings  of  the 
earth  have  committed  fornication, 
and  *the  inhabitants  of  the  earth 
have  been  made  drunk  with  the 
wine  of  her  fornication. 

3 So  he  carried  me  away  in  the 
spirit  ' into  the  wilderness : and  I 
saw  a woman  sit  “"upon  a scarlet 
coloured  beast,  full  of  ‘’names  of 
blasphemy,  having  seven  heads 
and  ten  horns. 

4 And  the  woman  “was  arrayed 
in  purple  and  scarlet  colour,  'and 

decked  with  gold  and  precious 
stones  and  pearls,  * having  a golden 
cup  in  her  hand  ^^full  of  abomi- 
nations and  filthiness  of  her  for- 
nication : 

5 And  upon  her  forehead  was  a 
name  writtem  "MYSTERY,  BAB^ 
Y-LON  ‘'TIIE  GREAT,  «THE 
MOTHER  OF  ^ HARLOTS  AND 
ABOMINATIONS  OF  THE 
EARTH. 

6 And  I saw  ^the  woman  drunken 
*with  the  blood  of  the  saints,  and 
with  the  blood  of  'the  martyrs  of 
Je-siis:  and  when  I saw  her,  I won 
dered  with  great  admiration. 

7 And  the  angel  said  unto  me. 
Wherefore  didst  thou  marvel'?  I 
will  tell  thee  the  mystery  of  the 
woman,  and  of  the  beast  that  car- 
rieth  her,  which  hath  the  seven 
heads  and  ten  horns. 

8 The  beast  that  thou  sawest  was, 
and  is  not;  and  ^ shall  ascend  out  of 
the  bottomless  pit,  and  ®go  into  per- 
dition : and  they  that  dwell  on  the 
earth  'shall  wonder,  “whose  naines 
were  not  written  in  the  book  of  life 
from  the  foundation  of  the  world, 
when  they  behold  the  beast  that 
was,  and  is  not,  and  yet  is. 

9 And  ®here  is  the  mind  which 
hath  wisdom.  "The  seven^  heads 
are  seven  mountains,  on  which  the 
woman  sitteth. 

10  And  there  are  seven  kings: 
five  are  fallen,  and  one  is,  and  the 
other  is  not  yet  come;  and  when 
he  cometh,  he  must  continue  a 
short  space. 

1 1 And  the  beast  that  was,  and  is 
not,  even  he  is  the  eighth,  and  is  of 
the  seven,  and  goeth  into  perdition. 

1 2 And  •’'the  ten  horns  which  thou 
sawest  are  ten  kings,  which  have 
received  no  kingdom  as  yet ; but 
receive  power  as  kings  one  hour 
with  the  beast. 

13  These  have  one  mind,  and  shall

give  their  power  and  strength  unto

14  * These  shall  make  war  with  the 
Lamb,  and  the  Lamb  shall  overcome 
them : “^for  he  is  Lord  of  lords,  and 
King  of  kings : -^and  they  that  are 
with  him  are  called,  and  chosen, 
and  faithful. 

15  And  he  saith  unto  me,  *The 
waters  which  thou  sawest,  where 
the  whore  sitteth,  ^are  peoples, 
and  multitudes,  and  nations,  and 
tongues. 

1 6 And  the  ten  horns  which  thou 
sawest  upon  the  beast,  ” these  shall 
hate  the  whore,  and  shall  make 
her  desolate  -^and  naked,  and  shall 
eat  her  flesh,  and  ^burn  her  with 
fire. 

17  *For  God  hath  put  in  their 
hearts  to  fulfil  his  will,  and  to 
agree,  and  give  their  kingdom  unto 
the  beast,  'until  the  words  of  God 
shall  be  fulfilled. 

18  And  the  woman  which  thou 
sawest  "'is  that  great  city,  which 
reigneth  over  the  kings  of  the  earth. 


CHAPTER  18.  • 

2 Babylon  is  fallen.  9 The  kings  of  the  earth,  &c., 
lament  over  her.  20  The  saints  rejoice. 

AND  ^ after  these  things  I saw  an- 
other  angel  come  down  from 
heaven,  having  great  power ; ^and 
the  earth  was  lightened  with  his 
glory. 

2 And  he  cried  mightily  with  a 
strong  voice,  saying,  Bab-y-l5n 
the  great  is  fallen,  is  fallen,  and 
*is  become  the  habitation  of  devils, 
and  the  hold  of  every  foul  spirit, 
and  ‘'a  cage  of  every  unclean  and 
hateful  bird. 

3 For  all  nations  *have  drunk  of 
the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  her  forni- 
cation, and  the  kings  of  the  earth 
have  committed  fornication  with 
her,  •''and  the  merchants  of  the 
earth  are  waxed  rich  through  the 
^abundance  of  her  delicacies. 

4 And  I heard  another  voice  from 
heaven,  saying,  ''Come  out  of  her, 
my  people,  that  ye  be  not  partakers 
of  her  sins,  and  that  ye  receive  not 
of  her  pla-gues. 

5 *For  her  sins  have  reached  unto 
heaven,  and  'God  hath  remembered 
her  iniquities. 

6 ” Reward  her  even  as  she  re- 
warded you,  and  double  unto  her 
double  according  to  her  works : 
Pin  the  cup  which  she  hath  filled 
infill  to  her  double. 

7 "’How  much  she  hath  glorified 
herself,  and  lived  deliciously,  so 
much  torment  and  sorrow  give 
her : for  she  saith  in  her  heart.

I sit  a “queen,  and  am  no  widow, 
and  shall  see  no  sorrow. 

8 Therefore  shall  her  plagues  come 
‘'in  one  day,  death,  and  mourning, 
and  famine ; and  “she  shall  be  ut- 
terly burned  with  fire : ^for  strong 
is  the  Lord  God  who  judgeth  her. 

9 And  ''the  kings  of  the  earth, 
who  have  cornmitted  fornication 
and  lived  deliciously  with  her, 
'shall  bewail  her,  and  lament  for 
her,  "'when  they  shall  see  the 
smoke  of  her  burning, 

10  Standing  afar  off  for  the  fear 
of  her  torment,  saying,  "Alas,  alas 
that  great  city  Bab-y-l5n,  that 
mighty  city  ! for  in  one  hour  is  thy 
judgment  come. 

11  And  "the  merchants  of  the 
earth  shall  weep  and  mourn  over 
her ; for  no  man  buyeth  their  mer- 
chandise any  more : 

12  “The  merchandise  of  gold,  and 
silver,  and  precious  stones,  and  of 
pearls,  and  fine  linen,  and  purple, 
and  silk,  and  scarlet,  and  all  Hhyine 
wood,  and  all  manner  vessels  of 
ivory,  and  all  manner  vessels  of 
most  precious  wood,  and  of  brass, 
and  iron,  and  marble, 

13  And  cinnamon,  and  odours, 
and  ointments,  and  frankincense, 
and  wine,  and  oil,  and  fine  flour, 
and  wheat,  and  beasts,  and  sheep, 
and  horses,  and  chariots,  and  ^slaves,

14  And  the  fruits  that  thy  soul 
lusted  after  are  departed  from  thee, 
and  all  things  which  were  dainty 
and  goodly  are  departed  from  thee, 
and  thou  shalt  find  them  no  more 
at  all. 

15  The  merchants  of  these  things, 
which  were  made  rich  by  her,  shall 
stand  afar  off  for  the  fear  of  her 
torment,  weeping  and  wailing, 

16  And  saying,  Alas,  alas  that 
great  city,  ^that  was  clothed  in  fine 
linen,  and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and 
decked  with  gold,  and  precious 
stones,  and  pearls ! 

1 7 For  in  one  hour  so  great  riches 
is  come  to  nought.  And  * every 
shipmaster,  and  all  the  company 
in  ships,  and  sailors,  and  as  many 
as  trade  by  sea,  stood  afar  off, 

18  "'And  cried  when  they  saw  the 
smoke  of  her  burning,  saying.  What 
city  is  like  unto  this  great  city  ! 

19  And  ‘’they  cast  dust  on  their 
heads,  and  cried,  weeping  and  wail- 
ing, saying,  Alas,  alas  that  great 
city,  wherein  were  made  rich  all 
that  had  ships  in  the  sea  by  reason 
of  her  costliness  ! for  in  one  hour  is 
she  made  desolate.

REVELATION,  19. 


of  the  Lamo, 


and  ye  holy  apostles  and  prophets  ; 
for  “God  hath  avenged  you  on  her. 

21  And  a mighty  angel  took  up 
a stone  like  a great  millstone,  and 
cast  it  into  the  sea,  saying,  ‘’Thus 
with  violence  shall  that  great  city 
Bab-^-ldn  be  thrown  down,  and 
^shall  be  found  no  more  at  all. 

22  ^And  the  voice  of  harpers,  and 
musicians,  and  of  pipers,  and  trum- 
peters, shall  be  heard  no  more  at 
all  in  thee ; and  no  craftsman,  of 
whatsoever  craft  he  he,  shall  be 
found  any  more  in  thee;  and  the 
sound  of  a millstone  shall  be  heard 
no  more  at  all  in  thee ; 

23  ‘’And  the  light  of  a candle  shall 
shine  no  more  at  all  in  thee;  ^and 
the  voice  of  the  bridegroom  and  of 
the  bride  shall  be  heard  no  more 
at  all  in  thee:  for  *thy  merchants 
were  the  great  men  of  the  earth; 
*for  by  thy  sorceries  were  all  na- 
tions deceived. 

24  And  *in  her  was  found  the  blood 
of  prophets,  and  of  saints,  and  of  all 
that  *were  slain  upon  the  earth. 

CHAPTER  19. 

1 Qod  is  praised,  in  heaven  for  his  righteoas  judgments. 

7 The  marriage  of  the  Lamb. 

AND  after  these  things  •''I  heard  a 
great  voice  of  much  people  in 
heaven,  saying,  Al-le-lu-ia ; Salva- 
tion, and  glory,  and  honour,  and 
power,  unto  the  Lord  our  God : 

2 For  *true  and  righteous  are  his 
judgments : for  he  hath  judged  the 
great  whore,  which  did  corrupt  the 
earth  with  her  fornication,  and 
*hath  avenged  the  blood  of  his 
servants  at  Tier  hand. 

3 And  again  they  said,  Al-le-lu-ia. 
And  ”her  smoke  rose  up  for  ever 
and  ever. 

4 And  ^the  four  and  twenty  elders 
and  the  four  beasts  fell  down  and 
worshipped  God  that  sat  on  the 
throne,  saying,  ^A-mSn';  Al-le-lu-ia. 

5 And  a voice  came  out  of  the 
throne,  saying,  Praise  our  God,  all 
ye  his  servants,  and  ye  that  fear 
him,  ''both  small  and  great. 

6 “And  I heard  as  it  were  the 
voice  of  a great  multitude,  and  as 
the  voice  of  many  waters,  and  as 
the  voice  of  mighty  thunderings, 
saying,  Al-le-lu-ja : for  ^^the  Lord 
God  omnipotent  reigneth. 

7 Let  us  be  glad  and  rejoice,  and 
give  honour  to  him : for  Hhe  mar- 
riage of  the  Lamb  is  come,  and  his 
wife  hath  made  herself  ready. 

8 And  'to  her  was  granted  that 
she  should  be  arrayed  in  fine  linen, 
clean  and  ^ white : ®for  the  fine  linen 
is  the  righteousness  of  saints.

9 And  he  saith  unto  me,  Write, 
^Blessed  are  they  which  are  called 
unto  the  marriage  supper  of  the 
Lamb,  And  he  saith  unto  me, 

These  are  the  true  sayings  of  God, 

10  And  fell  at  his  feet  to  wor- 
ship him.  And  he  said  unto  me, 
^See  thou  do  it  not:  I am  thy  fel- 
lowservant,  and  of  thy  brethren 
*that  have  the  testimony  of  Je-sus  : 
worship  God : for  the  testimony  of 
Je-§us  is  the  spirit  of  prophecy. 

1 1 * And  I saw  heaven  opened,  and 
behold  ^a  white  horse  ; and  he  that 
sat  ^on  him  was  called  ""Faithful 
and  True,  and  "in  righteousness  he 
doth  judge  and  make  war. 

12  *His  eyes  were  as  a flame  of 
fire,  "and  on  his  head  were  many 
crowns;  *and  he  had  a name  written, 
that  no  man  knew,  but  he  hiniself . 

13  “And  he  was  clothed  with  a 
vesture  dipped  in  blood : and  his 
name  is  called  ^^The  Word  of  God. 

14  “And  the  armies  which  were  in 
heaven  followed  him  upon  white 
horses,  ‘’clothed  in  fine  linen,  white 
and  clean. 

15  And  "^out  of  his  mouth  goeth  a 
sharp  sword,  that  with  it  he  should 
smite  the  nations : and  ®he  shall  rule 
them  with  a rod  of  iron : and  ^ he 
treadeth  the  winepress  of  the  fierce^ 
ness  and  wrath  of  Almighty  God. 

16  And  he  hath  on  his  vesture 
and  on  his  thigh  a name  written, 
"KING  OF  KINGS,  AND  LORD 
OF  LORDS. 

1 7 And  I saw  an  angel  standing  in 
the  sun ; and  he  cried  with  a loud 
voice,  saying  to  all  the  fowls  that 
fly  in  the  midst  of  heaven,  ""Come 
and  gather  yourselves  together  un- 
to the  supper  of  the  great  God ; 

18  ""That  ye  may  eat  the  flesh  of 
kings,  and  the  flesh  of  captains,  and 
the  flesh  of  mighty  men,  and  the 
flesh  of  horses,  and  of  them  that  sit 
on  them,  and  the  flesh  of  all  men, 
both  free  and  bond,  both  small  and 
great. 

19  "And  I saw  the  beast,  and  the 
kings  of  the  earth,  and  their  armies, 
gathered  together  to  make  war  a- 
gainst  him  that  sat  on  the  horse, 
and  against  his  army. 

20  "’And  the  beast  was  taken,  and 
with  him  the  false  prophet  that 
wrought  miracles  before  nim,  with 
which  he  deceived  them  that  had 
received  the  mark  of  the  beast,  and 
“them  that  worshipped  his  image. 
* These  both  were  cast  alive  into  a 
lake  of  fire  burning  with  brimstone.

AND  I saw  an  angel  come  down 
from  heaven,  ^having  the  key 
of  the  bottomless  pit  and  a great 
chain  in  his  hand. 

2 And  he  laid  hold  on  *the  dragon, 
that  old  serpent,  which  is  the  Devil, 
and  Sa-tan,  and  bound  him  a thou- 
sand years, 

3 And  cast  him  into  the  bottom- 
less pit,  and  shut  him  up,  and  ""set 
a seal  upon  him,  "that  he  should 
deceive  the  nations  no  more,  till 
the  thousand  years  should  be  tul- 
filled : and  after  that  he  must  be 
loosed  a little  season. 

4 And  I saw  ’’thrones,  and  they 
sat  upon  them,  and  * judgment  was 
given  unto  them:  and  I saw  *the 
souls  of  them  that  were  beheaded 
for  the  witness  of  Je-stis,  and  tor 
the  word  of  God,  and  ’'which  had  nqt 
worshipped  the  beast,  * nei  ther  his 
image,  neither  had  received  his  nmrk 
upon  their  foreheads,  or  in  their 
hands ; and  they  lived  and  “reigned 
with  -Christ  a thousand  years. 

5 But  the  rest  of  the  dead  lived 

not  again  until  the  thousand  years 
were  finished.  This  is  the  first  re-

passed  away;  and  there  was  no 
more  sea.  , , , 

2 And  I Jbhn  saw  Hhe_  holy  city, 

new  Je-ru-sa-lem,  coming  down 
from  God  out  of  heaven,  prepared 
"as  a bride  adorned  for  her  hus- 
band. , , . . p 

3 And  I heard  a great  voice  out  ot 
heaven  saying.  Behold,  ‘^the  taber- 
nacle of  God  is  with  men,  and  he 
will  dwell  with  them,  and  they  shall 
be  his  people,  and  God  himself  shall 
be  with  them,  and  be  their  God. 

4 '’And  God  shall  wipe  away  ail 
tears  from  their  eyes;  and  ’there 
shall  be  no  more  death,  'neimer 
sorrow,  nor  crying,  neither  shall 
there  be  any  more  pain:  tor  the 
former  things  are  passed  away. 

5 And  "he  that  sat  upon  the  throne 
said , ^ Behold,  I make  all  things  new . 
And  he  said  unto  me,  Write : tor 
’’these  words  are  true  and  taithiul. 

6 And  he  said  unto  me,  Ht  is  done. 
I am  Al-pha  and  0-me-ga,  the  be- 
ginning and  the  end.  f I will  give 
unto  him  that  is  athirst  ot  the 
fountain  of  the  water  of  life  freely. 

7 He  that  overcometh  shall  inherit 

2 all  things  ; and  H will  be  his  God, 
and  he  shall  be  my  son.  . 

8 " But  the  fearful,  and  unbelieving, 
and  the  abominable,  and  murderers, 
and  whoremongers,  and  sorcerers, 
and  idolaters,  and  all  liars,  sh^U 
have  their  part  in  ‘'the  lake  which 
burneth  with  fire  and  brimstone: 
'which  is  the  second  death. 


Description  of  the  KEVELATION^,  22.  heavenly  Jerusalenn^ 


9 And  there  came  unto  me  one 

of  “the  seven  angels  which  had  the 
seven  vials  full  of  the  seven  last 
plagues,  and  talked  with  me,  say- 
ing, Come  hither,  I will  shew  thee 
Hhe  bride,  the  Lamb’s  wife. 

10  And  he  carried  me  away  ‘^in 
the  spirit  to  a great  and  high  moun- 
tain, and  shewed  me  ®that  great 
city,  the  holy  Je-ru-sa-l6m,  de- 
scending out  of  heaven  from  God, 

1 1 '"Having  the  glory  of  God  : and 
her  light  was  like  unto  a stone 
most  precious,  even  like  a jasper 
stone,  clear  as  crystal ; 

1 2 And  had  a wall  great  and  high, 
and  had  'twelve  gates,  and  at  the 
gates  twelve  angels,  and  names 
written  thereon,  which  are  the 
names  of  the  twelve  tribes  of  the 
children  of  Is-ra-el : 

13  ”On  the  east  three  gates;  on 
the  north  three  gates ; on  the  south 
three  gates ; and  on  the  west  three 
gates. 

14  And  the  wall  of  the  city  had 
twelve  foundations,  and  ^in  them 
the  names  of  the  twelve  apostles  of 
the  Lamb. 

15  And  he  that  talked  with  me 
®had  a golden  reed  to  measure  the 
city,  and  the  gates  thereof,  and  the 
wall  thereof. 

16  And  the  city  lieth  foursquare, 
and  the  length  is  as  large  as  the 
breadth  : and  he  measured  the  city 
with  the  reed,  twelve  thousand  fur- 
longs. The  length  and  the  breadth 
and  the  height  of  it  are  equal. 

1 7 And  he  measured  the  wall  there- 
of, an  hundred  and  forty  and  four 
cubits,  according  to  the  measure  of 
a man,  that  is,  of  the  angel. 

_ 1 8 And  the  building  of  the  wall  of 
it  was  of  jasper : and  the  city  was 
pure  gold,  like  unto  clear  glass. 

19  "'And  the  foundations  of  the 
wall  of  the  city  were  garnished  with 
all  manner  of  precious  stones.  The 
first  foundation  was  jasper;  the 
second,  sapphire ; the  third,  a chal- 
cedony ; the  fourth,  an  emerald  ; 

20  The  fifth,  sardonyx  ; the  sixth, 
sardius  ; the  seventh,  chrysolyte ; 
the  eighth,  beryl ; the  ninth,  a to- 
paz ; the  tenth,  a chrysoprasus ; the 
eleventh,  a jacinth;  the  twelfth,  an 
amethyst. 

21  And  the  twelve  gates  vjere 
twelve  pearls ; every  several  gate 
was  of  one  pearl : *and  the  street  of 
the  city  was  pure  gold,  as  it  were 
transparent  glass. 

22  'And  I saw  no  temple  therein  : 
for  the  Lord  God  Almighty  and  the 
Lamb  are  the  temple  of  it.

AND  he  shewed  me  "a  pure  river 
ijL  of  water  of  life,  clear  as  crys- 
tal, proceeding  out  of  the  throne  of 
God  and  of  the  Lamb. 

2 S' In  the  midst  of  the  street  of 
it,  and  on  either  side  of  the  river, 
was  there  ""the  tree  of  life,  which 
bare  twelve  manner  of  fruits,  and 
yielded  her  fruit  every  month  : and 
the  leaves  of  the  tree  were  'for  the 
healing  of  the  nations. 

3 And  ""there  shall  be  no  more 
curse : "'but  the  throne  of  God  and 
of  the  Lamb  shall  be  in  it ; and  his 
servants  shall  serve  him  : 

4 And  y they  shall  see  his  face ; 
and  ^his  name  shall  he  in  their 
foreheads. 

5 “And  there  shall  be  no  night 
there ; and  they  need  no  candle, 
neither  light  of  the  sun ; for  the 
Lord  God  giveth  them  light : "'and 
they  shall  reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

6 And  he  said  unto  me,  ® These 
sayings  are  faithful  and  true : and 
the  Lord  God  of  the  holy  prophets 
•'^sent  his  angel  to  shew  unto  his 
servants  the  things  which  must 
shortly  be  done. 

7 ^Behold,  I come  quickly : ^blessed 
is  he  that  keepeth  the  sayings  of 
the  prophecy  of  this  book. 

8 And  I John  saw  these  things, 
and  heard  them.  And  when  I had 
heard  and  seen,  *T  fell  down  to  wor- 
ship before  the  feet  of  the  angel 
which  shewed  me  these  things. 

9 Then  saith  he  unto  me.  See  thou 
do  it  not : for  I am  thy  fellowserv- 
ant,  and  of  thy  brethren  the  pro- 
phets, and  of  them  which  keep 
the  sayings  of  this  book : worship 
God. 

10  "And  he  saith  unto  me.  Seal  not 


Christas  coming  REVELATION,  22.  and  eternity. 


the  sayings  of  the  prophecy  of  this 
book : *for  the  time  is  at  hand. 

11  ‘^He  that  is  unjust,  let  him  be 
unjust  still : and  he  which  is  filthy, 
let  him  be  filthy  still : and  he  that 
is  righteous,  let  him  be  righteous 
still : and  he  that  is  holy,  let  him 
be  holy  still. 

12  And,  behold,  I come  quickly; 
and  ^my  reward  is  with  me,  *to 
give  every  man  according  as  his 
work  shall  be.

beginning  and  the  end,  the  first  and 
the  last.

commandments,  that  they  may  have 
right  to  the  tree  of  life,  and  may 
enter  in  through  the  gates  into  the 
city.

NOTE  BY  THE  PUBLISHERS. 


The  Concise  Bible  Dictionary  is  based  upon  the  Illustrated  Bible  Treasury, 
written  by  leading  scholars  in  America  and  Great  Britain,  each  one  a recognized 
authority  on  the  subject  on  which  he  writes  (see  list  on  pages  iv  and  v).  Its 
object  is  to  supply,  in  the  most  condensed  and  convenient  form,  such  informa- 
tion as  cannot  properly  be  placed  in  the  concordance,  but  which  is  essential  to 
the  intelligent  study  of  God’s  Word. 

The  Dictionary  contains  short  articles  about  the  Bible,  its  contents,  chronology, 
language,  text,  the  various  versions.  Life  of  Christ  with  Harmony  of  the  Gospels, 
Life  and  Travels  of  St.  Paul,  etc.,  with  numerous  illustrations  which  not  only 
attract  the  eye,  but  truly  illustrate  the  articles  where  they  appear,  and  help  the 
student  to  an  understanding  which  would  be  difficult  to  attain  without  them. 
The  illustrations  are  mostly  from  recent  photographs,  and  can,  therefore,  be  thor- 
oughly relied  upon.  The  pronunciation  adopted,  and  the  diacritical  markings  used 
to  express  it,  are  based  on  Webster’s  International  Dictionary.  This  will  be 
found  a great  convenience,  as  these  markings  are  familiar  to  almost  every  reader. 

A combined  concordance,  subject-index,  and  index  of  proper  names  follows 
the  Dictionary.  The  concordance  is  specially  useful  in  this,  that  it  contains 
references  to  the  text  and  marginal  readings  of  both  the  Revised  and  the  Author- 
ized Versions.  Special  sections  on  Messianic  prophecies,  quotations  from  the  Old 
Testament  in  the  Xew  Testament,  etc.,  are  incorporated  in  their  alphabetical  places 
in  the  concordance.  The  meanings  of  obsolete  and  ambiguous  words  are  given  in 
all  cases.  The  incorporation  of  all  these  features  in  the  concordance  has,  it  is 
believed,  made  it  the  most  useful,  handy  concordance  ever  published. 

At  the  end  of  the  concordance  will  be  found  a Bible  atlas,  containing  all  the 
maps  that  are  necessary  for  Bible  students.  These  have  been  specially  engraved 
from  the  latest  surveys,  and  carefully  revised  by  the  leading  authorities  on  Biblical 
geography.  A beautiful  relief  map  has  been  specially  prepared  from  the  raised 
map  issued  by  the  Palestine  Exploration  Fund.  The  position  of  Bible  places  can 
be  easily  ascertained  by  reference  to  the  index  which  accompanies  the  Bible  atlas.

Abraham 


AARON  [aar'on],  the  brother  and  “prophet” 
{i.e.  speaker)  of  Moses.  From  him  descended, 
through  his  eldest  son  Eleazer,  the  hereditary 
class  of  priests  {q.v.)  in  Israel. 

ABBA  [abba]  (Aramaic  “father”),  a name 
addressed  to  God  in  Jewish  and  early  Christian 
prayers.  It  occurs  thrice  in  the  New  Testament, 
with  its  Greek  equivalent  placed  after  it  (Mark 
14.  36;  Rom.  8.  15;  Gal.  4.  6). 

ABEL  [a'hel]  (Heb.  “ breath,”  “ vanity;  ” in  As- 
syrian “ son,”  probably  the  original  meaning),  the 
second  son  of  Adam,  who  was  murdered 
by  his  brother  Cain  (Gen.  4.  1 ff.).  He 
was  God-fearing  and  righteous,  and  in 
contrast  with  Cain  is  the  pattern  of  a 
worshipper  pleasing  to  God,  who  on 
that  very  account  has  to  suffer  (IJohn 
3.  12).  He  is  described  as  righteous  by 
our  Lord  (Mat.  23. 35),  and  in  the  Epistle 
to  the  Hebrews  (11. 4)  stands  at  the  head 
of  the  heroes  of  faith. 

ABIB  [a'bib].  [See  Calendar.] 

ABIMELECH  [a  blm'e-16eh]  (Heb.  “fa- 
ther-king”). 1.  Name  of  the  Philistine 
king  of  Gerar,  a friend  of  Abraham 
(Gen.  20.  and  21.).  As  the  name  occurs 
also  in  the  history  of  Isaac  (Gen.  26.), 
and  Achish  king  of  Gath  (1  Sam.  21. 10) 
is  called  Abimelech  in  the  title  prefixed 
to  Ps.  34,  it  may  have  been  a common 
title  of  Philistine  kings. 

2.  Name  of  the  son  of  Gideon,  king 
of  Shechem,  made  famous  through  the 
fable  of  the  thorn  bush— the  earliest 
fable  of  which  the  authorship  is  known 
— which  his  half-brother  Jotham  made 
at  his  expense  (Judg.  9.  7 ff.). 

ABRAHAM  [a'bra-ham]  (“father  of  a 
multitude  ”),  originally  ABRAM  [a'bram] 
(“exalted  father  ”),  the  ancestor  of  the 
Hebrew  peoi)le,  was  born  at  Ur  Casdim, 

“Ur  of  the  Chaldees,”  properly  “Ur  of 
the  Babylonians,”  the  site  of  which  is 
now  Muf/heir,  south  of  Babylon;  or  Ur 
may  be  Uri,  which  was  the  Sumerian 
name  of  Accad  {q.v.).  Contract-tablets 
show  that  in  the  age  of  Abraham  (’a- 
naanite  merchants  — or  “ Amorites,”  as 
the  Babylonians  called  them  — speaking 
the  language  of  Canaan  (Isa.  19. 18)  — /.«. 

Hebrew  — were  settled  in  Babylonia. 

In  a tablet  dated  in  the  reign  of  the 
grandfather  of  Khammu-rabi  or  Am- 
raphel  (Gen.  14.  1),  one  of  the  witnesses  is  called 
“ the  Amorite,  the  son  of  Abi-ramu,”  or  Abram. 
In  migrating  to  the  west,  Terah  did  what  Baby- 
lonians and  “ Amorites”  were  constantly  doing. 
He  8topi)ed  at  Haran  in  Mesopotamia,  a city 
built  by  Babylonian  kings.  The  patron  deity  of 
Ur  was  the  moon-god,  who.se  great  temple  rose 
in  its  midst,  and  the  patron  deity  of  Haran  was 
the  same. 

Even  in  (’anaan,  Abram  was  under  Babylonian 
influence  and  Babylonian  government.  He  first 
pitched  his  tent  under  the  “terebinth”  of 
Moreh,  before  Shechem  (now  NablUs);  then 


he  moved  to  Bethel  (now  Beitinf  afterwards 
to  Egypt.  Egypt  {q.v.)  was  ruled  at  the  time 
by  “ Hyksos  ” conquerors  from  Asia,  at  whose 
court  an  Asiatic  was  likely  to  be  welcomed.  The 
Hyksos  capital  was  at  Zoan  (now  Sdti),  in  the 
north-eastern  part  of  the  delta,  so  that  a trav- 
eller from  Asia  would  soon  find  himself  in  the 
presence  of  the  Pharaoh.  We  are  told  that 
Abram  was  rich,  among  other  things,  in  camels, 
an  animal  which  was  peculiarly  Asiatic,  and 
was  not  employed  in  Egypt  till  the  Christian  era.

When  the  patriarch  returned  to  Canaan,  he 
was  deserted  by  his  nephew  Lot,  who  settled 
himself  in  Sodotn,  and  so  became  a Canaanitish 
citizen.  The  Canaanitish  princes  of  the  vale  of 
Siddim  rebelled  against  their  Babylonian 
masters,  and  an  array  was  led  against  them  by 
Chedorlaomer  of  Elam,  suzerain  lord  of  Baby- 
lonia. Under  him  marched  Amraphel  of  .‘^hinar, 
or  Northern  Babylonia,  Arioch  of  Ellasar,  and 
Tidal,  king  of  “ nations.”  Names  similar  to  these 
have  been  found  in  Babylonian  inscriptions. 

At  the  time  of  the  invasion,  Abram  was  living 
at  Mamie  or  Hebron,  the  confederate  of  three

Acts 


Amorite  chieftains.  When  he  heard  that  his 
nephew  was  among  the  captives  of  the  invading 
army,  he  pursued  it,  with  his  allies,  to  near 
Damascus,  and  recovered  the  captives  and  spoil. 
The  conqueror  was  greeted  on  his  return  by 
Melchizedek  {q.v.),  priest-king  of  Jerusalem. 

Abram  had  a son,  Ishmael,  by  the  Egyptian 
“bondwoman”  Hagar.  The  name  Ishmael  is 
found  in  Babylonian  documents  of  the  age  of 
Khammu-rabi,  king  of  Babylonia  {q.v.).  When 
Ishmael  was  thirteen  years  old,  Abram  and  all 
his  family  were  circumcised.  In  Egypt,  circum- 
cision had  been  practised  from  time  immemo- 
rial ; it  was  now  to  be  the  seal  of  the  Covenant 
{q.v.)  between  God  and  Abram’s  seed.  At  the 
same  time,  Abram’s  name  was  changed  to  Abra- 
ham, the  change  denoting  that  Abraham  was 
no  longer  a Babylonian.  Soon  afterwards,  the 
guilty  cities  of  “ the  plain,”  or  vale  of  Siddim, 
were  destroyed  by  a rain  of  “brimstone  and 
tire.”  Abraham  had  interceded  for  the  sinners 
in  vain;  Lot  and  his  daughters  alone  escaped, 
and  became  the  ancestors  of  Ammon  and  Moab. 

We  next  find  Abraham  at  Gerar,  south  of 
Gaza.  In  the  land  of  Gerar,  Isaac  was  born; 
and  it  was  here  also  that  “God  did  tempt” 
Abraham  to  sacrifice  his  only  son  — the  heir  of 
the  repeated  promise  of  a mighty  nation  that 
should  possess  the  land  of  Canaan  — in  accord- 


ance with  the  Canaanitish  ritual,  on  a mountain 
“ in  the  land  of  Moriah.”  But  the  sacrifice  of 
Isaac  was  stayed,  and  Abraham  was  taught  that 
God  did  not  require  so  terrible  an  offering  as 
heathen  religion  commanded. 

At  Hebron,  his  wife  Sarah  (Assyrian  Sarrat, 
“ queen  ”)  died.  She  was  buried  in  “ the  field  of 
Machpelah,”  which  the  patriarch  bought  for 
four  hundred  silver  shekels  (about  $229.00)  from 
the  Hittites  {q.v.)  settled  there.  The  details  of 
this  bargain  agree  very  strikingly  with  the  Baby- 
lonian legal  procedure  in  such  transactions. 

Abraham  now  sent  his  servant  to  Mesopotamia 
to  seek  a wife  for  his  son  Isaac  from  among  his 
kindred  at  Haran.  Rebekah,  the  sister  of  La- 
ban, accordingly  became  Isaac’s  wife.  By  his 
second  wife,  Keturah,  Abraham  was  the  ances- 
tor of  various  tribes  of  Central  Arabia.  After  this 
Abraham  died,  and  was  buried  at  Machpelah. 

Abraham  was  the  friend  of  God,  the  glorious 
prototype  of  the  obedience  and  righteousness  of 
faith ; the  father  of  the  faithful,  and  the  founder 
of  the  Hebrew  race  and  of  the  religion  of  Je- 
hovah. 

ABSALOM  [ab  sa-lom]  (Heb.  “ father  of  peace  ”), 
son  of  David  and  Maachah  (2  Sam.  3.  3),  through 
popular  arts  alienating  the  people  from  his 
father,  at  length  raised  a revolt  against  him 
(15-17),  but  was  defeated  by  Joab  (2  Sam.  18),

and  slain  by  him  (18.  14),  to  the  great  sorrow  of 
David  (2  Sam.  18.  33 ; 19.  4). 

ACACIA  [a-ea'ci-a].  [See  Shittah.] 

ACCAD  [ae'ead]  (Gen.  10.  10),  one  of  the  four 
cities  of  Nimrod  in  Shinar  (Babylonia).  Land 
of  Sumer  and  Accad  is  in  the  Assyrian  inscrip- 
tions the  common  designation  of  Babylonia  as 
a whole.  [See  Babvlonia.] 

ACELDAMA  [a-9erda-ma].  [See  Jerusalem.] 


ACTS  [acts],  THE,  or  THE  ACTS  OF  THE 
APOSTLES  [a-p6s'tles].  Both  titles  go  back  to 
the  second  century,  although  neither  was  given 
the  book  by  its  author.  The  longer  title  is  mis- 
leading if  understood  of  “a//  the  apostles,”  since 
the  doings  of  only  two,  St.  Peter  and  St.  Paul, 
are  described  at  any  length.  It  is  an  historical 
work,  of  which  the  “Gospel  according  to  St. 

I Luke”  forms  the  first  book.  This  second  book

Adam 


BIBLE  DICTIONARY. 


Ahab 


describes  tlie  stages  by  which  Christianity  spread 
from  Jerusalem  the  sacred,  to  Rome  the  political, 
capital  of  the  world.  The  baptism  of  the  Ethi- 
opian (Acts  8.  27  ff.),  and  the  presence  of  many 
Christians  in  Damascus  (9.  2,  10, 19)  are  signs  of 
a process  by  which  the  religion  diffused  itself 
southwards  and  eastwards.  But  the  develop- 
ment of  the  church  seemed  to  the  author  to  be 
determined  by  its  history  in  the  civilized  part 
of  the  world,  and  hence  he  describes  that  history 
alone. 

Many  characteristics  suggest  that  the  date  of 
tliis  history  belongs  to  the  period  following  75 
A.n.  There  w'ere  already  in  existence  many  his- 
tories of  the  Saviour  (Luke  1.  1)  when  the  plan 
of  this  history  was  conceived,  and  it  has  been 
suggested  that  the  dates  in  Luke  3. 1 were  cal- 
culated between  79  and  81  a.d.  The  marked 
insistence  on  the  fact  that  Jesus  and  afterwards 
St.  Paul  were  repeatedly  pronounced  by  Roman 
officials  to  be  guiltless  of  any  crime  against  the 
Roman  law  (Luke  23.  2,  4,  14,  22;  Acts  18.  16;  24. 
23;  25.  25;  26.  31 ; 27.  3;  28.  31,  and  presumably  in 
the  trial  at  Rome),  taken  in  connection  with 
the  fact  that  the  Acts  w^as  composed  in  a 
time  of  persecution  (14.  22),  after  Christianity 
had  been  declared  by  the  government  to  be 
illegal  and  a capital  offence,  would  lead  to  the 
belief  that  the  author  was  guided  to  a certain 
degree  by  the  desire  to  “appeal  to  the  truth  of 
history  against  the  immoral  and  ruinous  policy  ” 
of  persecution.  The  book  was  intended  to  con- 
tain, among  other  things,  “a  temperate  and 
solemn  record  of  the  facts  concerning  the  for- 
mation of  the  church,  its  unswerving  loyalty  to 
the  Roman  government,  its  friendly  reception 
by  the  Romans,  and  its  triumphant  vindication 
in  the  first  great  trial  at 
Rome.” 

The  author’s  personal  ac- 
quaintance with  many  of 
the  facts  and  personages  of 
the  history  is  shown  by  the 
marvellous  vividness  and 
accuracy  of  the  narrative. 

The  portraiture  of  St.  Paul 
is  so  lifelike,  and  marked  by 
so  many  touches  of  loving 
admiration,  as  to  show  the 
hand  of  a friend  and  dis- 
ciple. The  term  “ we  ” often 
occurs  in  the  narrative  (ch. 

16.  10-17;  20.  5-15;  21.  1-18; 

27.  1-28.  16),  marking  that 
the  author  was  personally 
engaged  in  the  incidents 
described.  His  tastes  and 
ideas  (so  far  as  they  are  dis- 
closed) are  of  the  Greek 
type.  Many  little  touches 
show  an  interest  in  medical 
details.  All  these  character- 
istics agree  with  and  con- 
firm the  very  early  tradition 
that  the  author  was  St. 

Luke,  the  friend  and  “the 
beloved  physician”  of  St. 

Paul  (Col.  4.  14). 

ADAM  rad'am],  the  He- 
brew Avord  for  man, specially 
applied  to  the  first  man, 
the  father  of  the  whole  hu- 
man race  (Gen.  3. 20 ; cf.  Acts 

17.  26).  After  the  account 
of  tlie  creation  of  man  and 
woman  in  Gen.  1.  26,  .30,  there  is  a second  account 
in  Gen.  2.  The  first  narration  is  usually  called 
the  Elohistic,  from  its  use  of  the  word  Elohiin 
for  God;  the  second  the  Jehovistic,  from  its  use 
of  the  name  Jehovah  Elohim.  His  disobedience 
and  punishment  are  told  in  Gen.  3.  In  the  Zend 
Avesta,  the  collection  of  ancient  sacred  books  of 
the  Iranians,  there  is  a remarkable  parallel  to  the 


account  of  Adam  given  in  Genesis.  St.  Paul  con- 
trasts with  the  first  father  of  mortal  men  Christ, 
the  “second  man,”  the  “last  Adam,”  as  the 
founder  of  a race  regenerated  by  Divine  grace 
(1  Cor.  15.  21,  22,  45-49;  Rom.  5.  12-21). 

ADAMANT  [ad'a-mant]  (Heb.  shamir;  Gr.  ada- 
mas).  It  is  not  known  what  is  meant  by  shamir. 
Some  have  thought  a peculiarly  hard  steel,  others 
have  suggested  corundum  (crystallized  alumina), 
which  IS  the  hardest  mineral  excepting  the 
diamond.  The  Greek  word  adamas  (at  any  rate 
about  the  Christian  era)  denoted  the  diamond ; 
but  it  is  hardly  probable  that  the  Hebrews  were 
acquainted  with  this  stone  during  the  time  of 
the  Old  Testament. 

ADDER  [ad'der].  [See  Serpent.] 

ADONAI  [ad'o-na'-i],  a Hebrew  name  for  God. 
It  is  the  plural  of  Ad, on,  “lord,”  with  the  pro- 
nominal suffix  of  the  first  person.  In  reading 
aloud,  the  Jews  pronounce  “ Adonai”  wherever 
the  ineffable  name  jhvh  occurs.  The  com- 
bination of  these  consonants  with  the  vowels 
of  Adonai  gives  the  usual  pronunciation 
“ Jehovah.” 

AGAP.®  [aga-pe]  (from  Gr.  “love”),  or  love- 
feasts,  the  common  meals  of  the  early  Christians 
whieh  expressed  the  brotherly  love  that  bound 
them  together  as  one  family,  and  culminated  in 
the  Lord’s  supper.  Gross  abuses  of  this  beautiful 
custom,  such  as  are  condemned  in  1 Cor.  11.  17  fif. 
and  Jude  12,  led  to  the  separation  of  the  Lord's 
supper  from  the  love-feast  in  the  post-apostolic 
church. 

AGATE  [ag'ate]  (Heb.  shebo;  Gr.  achates).  The 
word  is  also  used  in  the  A.  V.  as  a translation  of 
the  HebreAv  word  kadkod.  The  agate  is  one  of 
the  many  varieties  of  minutely  crystalline  silica 
[see  Chalcedony],  denoting  those  arranged 
more  or  less  in  bands  of  different  tints.  From  a 
very  early  period  it  has  been  used  as  a gem,  and 
was  often  engraved. 

AGRICULTURE  [ag'ri-eflrtiire].  The  patriarchs 
and  their  descendants  down  to  the  conquest  of 
Canaan  w^ere  rearers  of  cattle  (sheep,  oxen,  goats, 
asses,  and  camels).  "After  the  settlement,  the 
western  tribes  learned  agriculture,  and  the  cult- 


Pj.ouuhinu. 


ure  of  the  vine,  olive,  and  fig  tree,  from  the  Ca- 
naanites.  Among  the  crops  raised  were  wheat, 
barley,  rye  (/?.  “spelt”),  flax,  cummin,  fitches 
{H.  V.  “spelt”),  beans,  lentils, and  millet  (c/.Ezek. 
4.  9). 

AHAB  [a'hab]  (“father’s  brother”),  son  of 
Omri,  king  of  the  northern  kingdom  of  Israel  in 
the  time  of  Elijah,  reigned  twenty- two-years.

He  defeated  Benhadad,  King  of  Damascus,  twice, 
destroyed  his  capital,  and  shut  him  up  in  Aphek, 
afterwards  forming  a treaty  with  him  ag;ainst 
Assyria.  Shalmaneser  II.,  King  of  Assyria,  in  his 
monolith  inscription  claims  to  have  defeated 
Ahab  and  Benhadad  with  other  kings  at  Karkar 
in  854  B.c.  A year  after  this  Ahab  met  his  death 
in  a battle  before  Ramoth-Gilead,  in  which  Ben- 
hadad overcame  both  him  and  his  ally,  Jehosh- 
aphat  of  Judah.  The  worship  of  Baal  and 
Ashtoreth,  introduced  by  his  wife,  the  Tyrian 
princess,  Jezebel,  with  the  religious  struggle 
this  called  forth  in  the  country,  and  his  robbery 
and  judicial  murder  of  Naboth,  left  in  Israel  a 
dark  shadow  on  the  memory  of  Ahab. 

AHASUERUS  [a-has’u-e'rus],  the  name  of  the 
Persian  king  Xerxes  (485-466  b.c.)  in  Ezra  4.  6 
and  the  Book  of  Esther.  The  Ahasuerus  of  Dan.

ALABASTER  [al'a-bas’ter]  (Gr.  alabastros).  A 
more  or  less  pellucid  variety  of  light-colored 
marble,  often  banded  or  mottled,  used  for  orna- 
mental vases,  etc.  Matt.  26.  7. 

ALEXANDRIA  [al'ex-an’dri-a]  (Acts  18.24),  the 
great  seaport  at  the  mouth  of  the  Nile,  founded 
by  Alexander  the  Great  about  332  b.c.  He  gave 
the  Jews  a quarter  in  it.  and  in  the  early  Chris- 
tian age  it  was  the  chief  trade  centre  of  east 
and  west,  and  the  home  of  literature  and  Greek 
philosophy. 

ALGUM  [al'gilm]  (2  Chr.  2.  8;  9.  10, 11)  or  Almu'i 
(1  Kings  10.  11, 12),  probably  red  sandalwood.  It 
was  obtained  from  Ophir. 

ALMOND  [al'mond].  The  common  almond, 
whose  beautiful  pink-white  fiowers  appear  in 
January,  are  among  the  first  of  the  year;  hence 
its  Hebrew  name  = “ waking  ” (Jer.  i.  11,  12).  It 
grows  wild  on  the  higher  lands  of  Palestine. 
There  are  frequent  references  to  this  tree  in  the 
Bible  (Gen.  43. 11 ; Ex.  25. 33-35). 

ALOES  [al'oes],  a perfume  for  garments  (Ps.  4;5. 
8;  Song  of  Sol’.  4.  14),  and  for  beds  (Prov.  7.  17); 
used  also  in  burial  (John  19.  39).  Aloes  was 
probably  the  gum  of  the  eagle-tree  of  India. 
[See  Lign  Aloe.]  * 

ALPHA  [al  pha]  and  OMEGA  [o-me'ga  or 
o'mg-ga],  the  names  of  the  first  and  last  letters 
in  the  Greek  alphabet.  “The  Alpha  and  the 
Omega”  is  used  in  Revelation  1.  8,  21.  6,  22.  13, 
R.  V.,  as  a title  of  Christ,  Beginning  and  End  of 
all  things  {cf.  John  1.  1-3;  Col.  1. 15-18.  Cf.  also 
The  First  and  the  Last  in  Isa.  41.  4,  44.  6,  48. 
12,  the  title  given  to  Christ  in  Rev.  1.  17,  2.  8, 
22.  13). 

ALTAR  far  tar],  an  artificial  erection  for  the 
offering  of  sacrifices  and  prayers,  originally  of 
earth,  turf,  and  unhewn  ston'es  (Ex.  20.  24,  25). 
The  law  ordained  that  sacrifices  should  be  offered 
only  in  the  sanctuary;  but  the  Hebrews  con- 
tinued to  erect  altars  upon  the  high  places  {q.v.), 
until  the  Temple  at  Jerusalem,  with  its 

altar  of  incense  in  the  sanctuary  and  its  altar  of 
burnt-offering  in  the  forecourt,  became  under 
the  reformation  of  Josiah  universally  recognized 
as  the  only  place  where  sacrifices  could  be  legiti- 
mately offered. . The  “ horns  ” of  the  altar,  placed 
at  its  four  corners,  were  its  most  sacred  i>arts. 
The  blood  of  the  sacrifices  was  smeared  on  them, 
and  they  were  clasped  by  fugitives  who  claimed 
the  right  of  asylum  (Amos  3. 14).  [See  Taber- 
nacle.] 

AMALEKITES  [am'a-lek-Ttes],  wild  Bedawin 
tribes  in  the  south  of  Palestine,  especially  in  the 
wilderness  now  named  Et-Tih,  with  whom  the 
Israelites  were  at  feud  from  the  time  of  Moses 
till  their  destruction  by  Saul  and  David.  In  the 
tablets  of  Tel  el-Amarna  {q.v.)  they  are  classed 
as  “ plunderers.” 

AMBER  [am'ber]  (Heb.  chasmoZ ; Gr.  electron). 
The  word  thus  rendered  occurs  thrice  in  Ezekiel. 
It  is  almost  certainly  not  the  familiar  mineral,  a 
fossil  resin  of  an  orange -yellow  color,  which 
bears  this  name,  but  some  metallic  compound ; 


"liossibly  the  mixture  of  gold  and  silver  now 
called  electrum. 

AMEN  [a'men'  or  a'men'],  a Hebrew  word 
meaning  “ truth  ” (Isa.  65.  16),  used  adverbially 
to  express  strong  confirmation  {cf.  Deut.  27.  15). 
Its  use  as  a confirmatory  response  at  the  close 
of  prayer  (=“May  it  be  so”)  is  illustrated  in 
Ps.  106.  48;  1 Cor.  14.  16,  etc.  Amen,  Amen 
occurs  twenty-five  times  in  John’s  Gospel,  and 
nowhere  else,  and  is  translated  “ Verily,  verily.” 
The  Amen  — i.e.  the  faithful  and  abiding  One 
— is  a title  of  Christ  (Rev.  3.  14).

AMETHYST  [am'e-thyst]  {K^h.  achlaniah  ; Gr. 
amefh  jistus).  A purplish  variety  of  quartz 
(crystallized  silica),  often  used  for  ornamental 
purposes.  It  looks  like  a pale  purple  glass,  but 
is  rather  harder.  Ex.  28.  19. 

AMMONITES  [am’raon-Ttes],  a Semitic  people 
settled  north-east  of  the  Dead  Sea.  The  Israel- 
ites having  seized,  in  the  time  of  the  Judges,  a 
territory  which  they  claimed,  they  were,  down 
to  the  second  century  b.c.,  their  hereditary  foes. 
They  are  mentioned  by  Origen,  in  the  third 
century  a.d.,  as  a still-existing  Arab  tribe. 

AMORITES  [am'o-rites].  On  the  early  Babylon- 
ian monuments  all  Syria,  including  Palestine,  is 
known  as  “ the  land  of  the  Amorites”  ; on  those 
of  the  fifteemh  century  b.c.,  the  country  to  the 
north  of  Palestine.  They  are  represented  on  the 


Amorite. 

Egyptian  monuments  with  fair  skins,  light  hair, 
blue  eyes,  aquiline  noses,  and  pointed  beards. 
When  the  Israelites  invaded  Palestine,  their  first 
attack  was  repulsed  by  the  Amorites,  who  were 
then,  with  the  Hittites  {q.v.),  the  chief  among 
the  Canaanite  tribes.  [See  Abraham.] 

AMOS  [a'mos]  (probably  “burdened”),  one  of 
the  minor  prophets,  was  a shepherd  of  Tekoa,  in 
Judah,  and  prophesied  at  Bethel  in  the  reigns  of 
Uzziah,  King  of  Judah,  and  Jeroboam  II.,  King 
of  Israel.  The  priests  accused  him  of  treason, 
and  ex])elled  him  from  the  northern  kingdom, 
to  which  his  prophecies  mainly  refer,  and  whose 
downfall  he  foretold.  [See  Minor  Prophets.] 

ANAKIM  [an'a-kim],  “sons  of  Anak”  (“long- 
necked”), a race  of  giants,  who,  when  driven 
from  the  mountains  of  Hebron  by  Caleb  or 
Joshua,  found  refuge  in  Philistia. 

ANATHEMA  [a-nath'6-ma]  having  been  used 
in  LXX.  to  translate  herein  — i.e.  whatever  is 
solemnly  and  by  command  of  God  given  over  to 
destruction  — came  to  mean  a man  or  thing 
utterly  abandoned  and  abominable  {cf.  Rom.  9.  3 
and  Gal.  1.  8.  where  A.  V.  “ accursed  ” is  in  R.  V. 
“anathema”). 

ANATHOTH  [an'a-th5th],  three  miles  north- 
east of  Jerusalem,  was  the  birthplace  of  Jehu 
and  of  Jeremiah. 

ANDREW  [an'drew],  (“manly”),  one  of  the 
twelve  disciples  of  Jesus,  brother  of  Simon  Peter, 


Angel 


BIBLE  DICTIONARY.  Antimony 


son  of  Jonas  or  John,  was  born  at  Bethsaida  on 
the  Sea  of  Galilee  (John  1. 44).  He  was  one  of  the 
first  among  the  disciples  of  John  the  Baptist  to 
become  a follower  of  Jesus  (John  1.  37-40),  who 
called  him,  along  with  Peter,  while  fishing  at 
the  Sea  of  Galilee,  to  become  a fisher  of  men  (Mat. 
4. 18-22 ; Mark  1. 16-20).  He  appears  to  have  been 
one  of  those  disciples  who,  after  Peter,  James, 
and  John,  stood  nearest  to  his  Master-  (Mark  13. 
3;  John  6.  8;  12,  22).  The  Acts  of  the  Apostles 
mentions  him  only  in  1.  13.  According  to  tradi- 
tion, he  suffered  martyrdom  in  Achaia  on  a cross 
shaped  in  the  form  of  the  letter  X. 

ANGEL  [an'gel],  literally  a “ messenger,”  and 
so  translated  in  Luke  7.  24,  etc.,  but  specially  a 
“ messenger  of  God,”  one  of  the  unseen  citizens 
of  heaven,  who,  according  to  Jewish  and  Chris- 
tian opinion,  are  continually  doing  the  bidding 
of  the  Most  High  (Ps.  104.  4 ; Mat.  4.  6 ; Heb.  2.  7). 
The  “Angel  of  Jehovah  (A.F.  and  i?.  P.  the 
LORD)”  in  the  Old  Testament  is  Jehovah  Him- 
self in  self-manifestation.  The  “Angels  of  the 
Seven  Churches,”  in  Revelation,  are  either  the 
chief  overseers,  or  else  personifications,  of 
those  churches. 

ANISE  [an  ise]  (Mat.  23. 23),  dill  (Ji.  V.,  margin). 
Used  only  once,  when  the  Lord  rebuked  the 
Pharisees  for  attending  to  trifles  while  they 
neglected  weighter  matters  (Mat.  23.  23).  The 
plant  referred  to  is  dill,  as  the  revisers  suggest 
in  the  margin.  It  is  cultivated  in  the  East  as  a 
condiment.  By  the  distillation  of  its  fruits 
(incorrectly  called  seeds)  with  water,  the  well- 
known  dill  water  of  medicine  is  produced. 

ANT  [ant].  Ants  are  proverbial  for  the  mar- 
vellous instinct  which  guides  them  in  the 
economy,  work,  and  discipline  of  their  com- 
munities. They  are  small  insects,  but  have 
wonderful  muscular  strength.  * Ants  of  Pales- 
tine store  corn  for  winter  (Prov,  6.  6-8 ; 30.  25). 

ANTELOPE  [an’tg-lope]  (Ji.F.;  “Wild  Bull,” 
A.  F.,  Deut.  14.5;  Isa.  51.  20),  the  Arabian  species, 
with  straighter  horns  than  the  African.  The 
antelope  is  often  depicted  on  Egyptian  monu- 
ments. It  is  a beautiful  creature,  standing  about 
four  feet  high;  very  wild  and  fleet,  and  fierce 
when  hard  pressed  by  the  hunter. 

ANTICHRIST  [an'ti-ehrist]  is  i i the  New  Testa- 
ment a term  used  only  by  St.  John  (1  John  2.  18, 
22;  4.3;  and  2 John  7).  The  idea  was  already 


familiar  to  readers  of  Dan,  7.  and  Ezek.  38  and  39. 
As  used  in  the  New  Testament  the  name  may 
mean  “ one  who  usurps  the  place  of  Christ,”  or 
“ one  who  sets  himself  up  as  a substitute  for 
Christ.”  The  principle  of  his  opposition  consists 
in  the  denial  of  the  incarnation,  which  revealed 
the  gracious  will  of  God  to  unite  man  with 
Himself  through  Christ,  and  in  the  assertion  of 
man’s  divinity  apart  from  God  in  Christ.  St. 
Paul  teaches  (2  Thes.  2.  3-10)  that  Antichrist  will 
appear  as  a single  adversary  of  Chi'ist,  “ the  man 
of  sin,”  who,  furnished  by  Satan  “ with  all  power, 
and  signs,  and  wonders  of  falsehood,”  will  sit  “ in 
the  sanctuary  of  God,  setting  himself  forth  as 
God,”  and  will  be  brought  to  nought  by  the 
manifestation  of  the  coming  of  the  Lord.  As 
Moses  was  the  type  of  Christ,  so  Balaam,  the 
“ Anti-Moses,”  was  a type  of  Antichrist  (Rev.  2. 
14;  Jude  11.;  2 Pet.  2.  15).  . 

ANTILEGOMENA  [an'ti-le-g6m'e-na]  (Gr.  “dis- 
puted”). All  the  books  that  are  found  in  the 
New  Testament  were  not  recognized  as  canonical 
at  the  first  formation  of  the  New  Testament 
library.  The  Apocalypse,  for  example,  and  cer- 
tain catholic  epistles  (2  and  3 John,  2 Peter,  and 
Jude)  find  no  place  in  the  Syriac  New  Testament. 
In  like  manner,  all  the  books  of  the  Old  Testa- 
ment did  not  acquire  their  position  of  authority 
immediately. 

No  formal  act  by  which  the  Canon  (q.v.)  was 
declared  closed  is  recorded  in  history,  but  by  the 
time  of  the  New  Testament  there  is  no  rooni  to 
doubt  that  the  Old  Testament  had  been  long 
complete  in  the  form  in  which  we  now  have  it. 
Its  threefold  arrangement  seems  plainly  indi- 
cated in  the  reference  by  the  risen  Saviour  to  all 
things  which  are  written  “ in  the  law  of  Moses, 
and  the  prophets,  and  the  psalms,  concerning” 
Himself;  for  the  Psalms  form  the  first  book  in 
the  third  division  of  the  Hebrew  Bible. 

Some  have  been  inclined  to  place  the  final  clos- 
ing of  the  Hebrew  Canon  at  a still  later  date, 
because  the  Talmud  relates  discussions  which 
took  place  regarding  Ezekiel,  Ecclesiastes,  the 
Song  of  Songs,  and  Esther,  and  which  were  only 
set  at  rest  by  a council  at  Jamnia  about  the 
beginning  of  the  second  century.  [See  also  Old 
Testament  Canon.] 

ANTIOCH  [an'ti-och],  (1)  in  Syria,  on  the  river 
Orontes,  a great  city,  ranking  next  after  Rome 


(From  a Photograph  by  Bonjils.)  Antioch  in  Sykia.  Acts  11.  1'.). 

and  Alexandria,  where  the  name  “ Christian  ” I ANTIMONY  [an’ tl-mo-ny].  The  word  does  not

employed  for  darkening  the  outer  part  of  the 
eye,  as  when  Jezebel  “ put  her  eyes  in  painting.” 

ANTIPATRIS  [an-tip'a-trls]  (Acts  23.  31),  a city 
on  the  main  road  from  Jerusalem  to  Caesarea, 
named  after  Antipater,  father  of  Herod  the 
Great. 

APES  [apes]  (1  Kings  10.  22),  imported  by 
Solomon.  Baboons,  apes,  and  monkeys  are  repre- 
sented in  the  Assyrian  and  Egyptian  monuments. 

APOCRYPHA  [a.-p6e'ry-pha].  The  word  ^poc- 
rypha  means  “secret”  or  “hidden,”  and  is 
applied  to  a class  of  writings  which  have  been 
definitely  rejected  from  the  books  of  the  Old 
and  New  Testaments.  [See  Antilegomena.] 
In  connection  with  the  English  Bible,  the  term 
Apocrypha  includes  the  following  books  and 
parts  of  books,  which  either  have  no  canonical 
authority  whatever,  or  have  only  a secondary 
and  very  shadowy  authority : — 

1.  Additions  to  canonical  books  and  interpo- 
lations—Epistle  of  Jeremiah,  Baruch,  Prayer  of 
Manasses,  additions  to  Daniel  and  Esther. 

2.  Continuations  of  canonical  books  — 1 and  2 
Esdras. 

3.  Romances  — as  Tobit  and  Judith. 

4.  Sapiential  books  — the  Wisdom  of  Solomon, 
and  Ecclesiasticus  (or  the  Wisdom  of  Jesus  the 
son  of  Sirach). 

5.  Historical  books  — the  Maccabees. 

In  opposition  to  the  criticisms  of  the  Reform- 
ers, all  of  these  books  were  declared  canonical 
by  the  Council  of  Trent  (1546  a.d.),  with  the 
exception  of  the  Prayer  of  Manasses  and  the  two 
Books  of  Esdras. 

The  Apocryphal  Books  are  described  in  sepa- 
rate articles. 

APOLLOS  [a-polTos],  an  Alexandrian  Jew,  who 
became  a prominent  teacher  in  the  Apostolic 
ages.  “Eloquent,”  “fervent  in  spirit,”  and 
“ mighty  in  the  Scriptures”  (of  the  Old  Testa- 
ment), he  had  been  a disciple  of  John  before 
Priscilla  and  Aquila  at  Ephesus  “ expounded  to 
him  the  wav  of  God  more  perfectly”  (Acts  18. 
24  If.).  After  Paul’s  departure  from  Corinth  he 
preached  the  gospel  there.  Though  one  of  the 
parties  in  the  Corinthian  church  named  itself 
after  him  (1  Cor.  1. 12  and  3. 4),  he  appears  to  have 
stood  in  a friendly  relation  to  St.  Paul  (1  Cor. 
3.  6),  with  whom  he  afterwards  labored  at 
Ephesus  (1  Cor.  16.  12).  He  is  last  mentioned 
in  Titus  3.  13.  Luther  was  the  first  to  suggest 
that  Apollos  was  the  author  of  the  Epistle  to 
the  Hebrews. 

APOSTLE  [a-p6s'tle]  (Gr.  “ambassador”),  in 
the  New  Testament  the  designation  applied,  in  the 
first  instance,  to  the  twelve  disciples  of  Jesus, 
whom  He  chose  to  be  His  constant  companions 
and  the  nucleus  of  His  church.  Their  names  are 
recorded  in  Mat.  10.  2-4;  Mark  3.  16-19;  Luke  6. 
14-16  : Acts  1. 13.  Of  these  Peter,  who  first  recog- 
nized in  Jesus  the  Messiah,  and  the  brothers 
James  and  John  are  the  best  known.  During 
our  Lord’s  Galilean  ministry  they  were  sent  forth 
on  a mission  (Mark  6.  7 ff.),  confined  to  “ the  lost 
sheep  of  the  house  of  Israel  ” (Mat.  10.  5,  6),  and 
in  later  times  they  were  distinguished  as  the 
“apostleship  of  the  circumcision”  (Gal.  2.  8) 
from  St.  Paul,  who  was  called  to  be  the  apostle 
of  the  Gentiles.  The  risen  Saviour  extended 
their  commission  to  all  the  world  (Mat.  28.  18-20 ; 
Mark  16.  15;  Luke  24.  47;  Acts  1.  8).  After  the 
ascension  the  number  of  the  apostles  was  not  re- 
stricted to  twelve  (the  “twelve  apostles  of  the 
Lamb”  in  Rev.  21.  14  is  a figurative  expression). 
Besides  Matthias,  who  took  the  place  of  Judas 
the  betrayer  (Acts  1.  21-26),  Paul  and  Barnabas 
certainly  (Acts  14.  14,  etc.),  James  the  Lord’s 
brother,  Andronicus,  and  Junias  most  probably 
(Gal.  1.  19;  1 Cor.  15.  7;  Rom.  16.  7),  and  Silvanus 
possibly  were  apostles.  An  apostle  was  one  who 
had  these  qualifications:  (1)  he  had  seen  the 
Lord,  and  could  bear  witness  to  His  resurrection 
(Luke  24.  48;  Acts  1.  8,  22;  2.  32 ; 1 Cor.  9.  1); 


(2)  the  “signs  of  an  apostle ” — namely,  “all 
patience,”  also  “ signs  and  wonders,  and  mighty 
works”  (2  Cor.  12.  12),  and  the  “seal”  of  mis- 
sionary success  marked  his  ministry  (1  Cor.  9.  2) ; 

(3)  he  was  given  to  the  church  (Eph.  4.  11)  and 
“ set  ” in  it  (1  Cor.  12.  28)  by  a divine  call  (Rom.  1. 
1,  etc.). 

APPLE  [ap'ple]  (A.  V.  and  E.V.,  Song  of  Sol.  2. 


3,  5;  7.  8;  8.  5;  Joel  1. 12),  probably  the  apricot 
which  bears  yellow  fruit  (Prov.  25. 11). 

ARAM  [a'ram]  (“highland”),  the  Old  Testa- 
ment name  of  Syria  and  Mesopotamia  (some- 
times used  of  Syria  alone). 

ARAMAIC  [ar'a-ma'ie].  The  Aramaic  lan- 
guage is  properly  the  speech  of  the  people  of 
Aram,  who  occupied  part  of  Upper  Meso- 
potamia, in  the  Bible  named  Aram-Naharaim, 
“ Aram  of  the  Two  Rivers,”  or  Padan-aram, 
“Plain  of  Aram.”  The  language  fell  into  two 
main  dialects  — a north-eastern,  spoken  in 
Mesopotamia,  which  afterwards  developed  into 
Syriac;  and  a south-western,  commonly  but 
erroneously  called  Chaldee.  The  latter  is  in  the 
( )ld  Testament  called  Aramaic.  In  this  language 
Dan.  2.  4—7.  28,  and  Ezra  4.  8—6.  18  and  7.  12—26 
are  written.  [See  R.  V.  margin.]  The  Aramaic  lan- 
guage was  widely  diffused  in  Western  Asia,  and 
took  the  place  in  trade  which  English  or  French 
now  holds.  Aramaic  displaced  the  Old  Assyrian 
in  Assyria  and  Babylonia,  and  prevailed  there 
till  the  Arab  domination.  Its  prevalence  as  a 
medium  of  communication  is  attested  by  2 Kings 
18. 26,  and  by  its  appearance  on  Assyrian  weights 
and  clay  tablets,  side  by  side  with  their  cunei- 
form inscriptions.  In  Palestine  it  steadily  en- 
croached upon  the  Hebrew,  and  by  the  time  of 
the  Maccabees  had  altogether  displaced  it  in 
ordinary  use. 

ARARAT  [ar'a-rat],  the  country  of  the  river 
Aras  in  Armenia  ; also  the  mount  of  Ararat,  on 
which  the  ark  rested  after  the  Flood  (Gen.  8.  4), 
16,969  ft.  above  the  sea.  [See  Deluge.] 

ARK  [ark]  of  the  Covenant.  [See  Tabernacle.] 
ARMAGEDDON  [iir'ma-ged'don]  (Rev.  16.  16), 
“ Mount  Megiddo.”  [See  Megiddo.]

age  of  David  the  army  of  Israel  consisted  ex-

clusively  of  foot-soldiers.  These  were  probably 
divided  into  two  classes— the  heavy -armed, 
wearing  helmet,  coat  of  mail  {q.v.),  and  greaves, 
and  armed  with  a sword,  one  or  two  javelins,

and  a heavy  spear ; and  the  light-armed,  wear- 
ing helmet  and  corselet  of  leather,  and  armed 
with  sword,  bow,  and  sling.  The  metal  which 
was  earliest  employed  in  the  manufacture  of 
weapons  was  bronze  (in  A.  V.  sometimes  “ steel,” 
sometimes  “brass;  ” in  R.V.  always  “brass”), 
probably  an  alloy  of  copper  and  tin.  The  use  of 
imported  iron  followed  later.  In  the  list  given 
in  Eph.  6,  the  apostle  has  probably  the  accoutre- 
ments of  a Roman  soldier  before  his  mind. 

ASCALON  [as'ca-lon]  (Josh.  13.  3,  etc.),  a Philis- 
tine chief  city,  on  the  rocks  by  the  sea.  It  was 
the  birthplace  of  Herod  the  Great. 

ASHDOD  [ash'dod]  (Josh.  11.  22,  etc.),  Philistine 
chief  city,  near  Ascalon,  captured  by  Sargon  in 
711  B.C.,  according  to  his  record. 

ASHERAH  [a-she'rah],  a sacred  tree  (for  which 
a pole  was  often  substituted)  which,  with  the 
Masseba,  or  sacred  stone  pillar  (see  Dent.  16.  21, 
221,  stood  near  the  altar  on  every  Canaanite 
high-place.  As  the  deity  was  believed  to  be 
present  in  the  Asherah,  this  itself  in  later  times 
came  to  be  regarded  as  a goddess,  and  was 
identified  with  Ashtoreth  {q.v.).  [See  Deut.  16. 
21, 22,  etc.,  where  for  the  A.  V.  rendering  “ grove,” 
the  Hebrew  word  is  reproduced  in  R.  V. ; and  cf. 
the  note  on  Asherah  in  preface  to  R.  V.] 

ASHTORETH  [ash'to-reth  or  ash-td'reth]  (plu- 
ral Ashtaroth),  the  Phoenician  goddess  Ashtart, 
the  female  counterpart  of  the  Phoenician  Baal 
(Melkart),  and  regarded  both  as  the  goddess  of 
war  and  desti’uction  and  as  the  deity  of  love 


and  life.  Her  licentious  worship  was  prevalent 
in  Southern  Canaan  till  suppressed  by  Josiah. 
Ashtart  was  derived  from  the  Assyrian-Baby- 
lonian  Istar,  whom  the  women  of  Judah  Avor- 
shipped  as  “queen  of  heaven”  in  the  time  of 
Jeremiah  (Jer.  7.  18 ; 44.  17-1!)). 

ASP  [asp].  [See  Serpext.] 

ASS  [^ss].  The  domesticated  ass,  which  is  traced 
by  Darwin  to  the  wild  ass  of  Abyssinia,  is  depicted 
in  the  earliest  Egyptian  records,  and  also  on  the 
oldest  Assyrian  monuments.  The  ass  is  much 
more  highlv  prized  in  the  East  than  in  the  West. 
From  early  times,  white  (albino)  asses  were 
reserved  for  dignitaries  (cf.  Judg.  5.  10).  The 
ass  was  the  animal  of  peace  (cf.  Zech.  9.  9),  as 
the  horse  was  of  war.  It  was  forbidden  to  plough 
with  an  ass  and  an  ox  together. 

Ass,  Wild.  Most  of  the  Biblical  references  are 
to  the  wild  ass  of  Syria,  especially  the  descrip- 
tions in  Job  and  the  ']^roi)hets  (JobAl.  12;  .39.  5-8; 
24.  5;  Isa.  32.  14;  Jer.  2.  24;  14.  6;  Hos.8.  9) . The 


wild  ass  is  untamable,  and  in  fleetness  far  sur- 
passes the  horse.  The  allusions  to  its  habits  in 
Scripture  are  most  accurate.  The  hunting  of 
the  wild  ass  is  frequently  represented  in  the 
Assyrian  sculptures. 

ASPHALTITES  [as-phal'tites].  [See  Dead  Sea,] 

ASSASSINS  [as-sas'sins]  (Acts  21.38,  R.V.),a 
numerous  body  of  desperadoes  which  arose  in 
Judaea  during  the  procuratorship  of  Felix,  and 
afterwards  took  a leading  part  in  the  Jewish  war. 
Their  name  Sicarii  was  derived  from  the  curved 
dagger  (Lat.  sica)  which  they  carried  under  their 
clothes,  and  with  which  they  stabbed  their 
opponents  secretly  in  the  crowds  at  festivals, 

ASSUR  [as'sur],  [See  Assyria.] 

ASSYRIA  [as-syr'i-a],  the  Greek  and  Roman 
name  of  Upper  Mesopotamia  (now  Kurdistan), 
named  in  the  Old  Testament  Assur  (“water 
plain”),  “the  land  of  Nimrod”  (Micah  5.6;  cf. 
Gen.  10. 11).  Originally  a colony  from  Babylonia, 
it  became,  about  1700  b.c.,  an  independent  king- 
dom, which  in  a career  of  conquest  absorbed 
Babylon,  Damascus,  and  Samaria,  conquered 
Phoenicia,  and  made  Judaea,  Philistia,  and  Idu- 
maea subject  states.  Its  original  capital  was 
Assur,  oni  the  western  bank  of  the  Tigris  (now 
the  ruin  Kalah  Shergat).  At  a later  date  the 
capital  was  shifted  to  Nineveh  (now  A'oT/jmj-i A:, 
opposite  Mosul),  on  the  eastern  bank  of  the 
river;  and  about  1300  b.c.  Calah  (now  Nimrud) 
was  founded  by  Shalmaneser  I.,  a little  to  the 
south  of  Nineveh. 

The  following  is  a summary  of  the  Assyrian 
invasions  of  Palestine,  as  attested  by  the  monu- 
ments. From  the  middle  of  the  twelfth  century 
B.c.  onward,  Israel  and  Judah  were,  in  the  main, 
vassal  states  of  Assyria.  Tiglath-pileser  I., 
(from  about  1130)  and  Assur-nazir-pal  (883-859), 
the  builder  of  the  great  north-west  palace  at 
Calah,  extended  their  power  to  the  Mediterra- 
nean; and  the  latter’s  son,  Shalmaneser  II.  (858- 
824),  defeated  Hadadezer  (or  Ben-hadad)  of  Da- 
mascus along  with  his  allies,  one  of  whom  was 
Ahab  of  Israel,  in  a great  battle  at  Karkar  (854). 
In  842  B.C.,  Shalmaneser  received  tribute  from 
Jehu,  “the  son  of  Omri.”  The  Israelitish  trib- 
ute-bearers are  depicted  on  an  obelisk  of  black 
marble  now  in  the  British  Museum.  Pul  or  Tig- 
lath-pileser III.  (745-728)  in  738  received  tribute 
from  “ Rezin  of  Damascus  ” and  “ Menahem  of 
Samaria”  (2  Kings  15.  19,  20).  In  return  for  the 
recognition  of  his  suzerainty,  he  helped  Ahaz  of 
Judah  (2  Kings  16.  7)  against  Pekah  of  Samaria 
and  Rezin  of  Damascus  (734-732),  slaying  Rezin 
and  abolishing  his  kingdom,  while  he  dimin- 
ished that  of  Pekah  (2  Kings  16.  9 ; 15.  29),  and 
after  Pekah’s  murder  established  Hoshea  as 
tributary  king  (729).  Shalmaneser  IV.  (727-723), 
to  punish  Hoshea’s  defection,  besieged  Samaria, 
but  died  during  the  siege  (2  Kings  17.  5;  cf.  18. 
10),  and  the  glory  of  victory  fell  to  Sargon  (722- 
706),  who  marks  the  capture  of  Samaria  in  his 
annals  as  his  first  military  success.  He  carried 
27,280  of  its  inhabitants  into  captivity,  and  put 
settlers  from  the  east  in  their  place.  Judah  also 
is  mentioned  in  his  inscriptions  as  tributary. 
He  advanced  to  the  Egyptian  frontier,  and  cap- 
tured Ashdod  (Isa.  20. 1).  Sargon  was  murdered 
705  B.C.,  and  his  son  Sennacherib  (705-682)  suc- 
ceeded him.  In  701  he  led  an  army  to  Palestine, 
in  order  to  punish  his  rebellious  vassal  Hezekiah, 
Tirhakah,  king  of  Egypt,  Hezekiah’s  ally,  was 
defeated  at  Eltekeh,‘and  the  towns  and  villages 
of  Judah  were  destroyed,  200,1.50  of  their  in- 
habitants being  sent  captives  to  Assyria.  Sen- 
nacherib proceeded  to  invest  Jerusalem;  but 
his  army  was  destroyed  in  a single  night. 

Esar-Haddon  (681-669),  the  se(mn(l  colonizer 
of  Samaria  (Ezra  4.  2),  made  .ludah  and  all 
Palestine  tributary,  as  his  tribute-list,  which 
includes  the  name  of  Manasseh,  testifies. 
Under  Assur-bani-pal  (Sardanapalus,  668-626),

tion  continued,  in  spite  of  the  Jewish  king’s  re- 
volt (2  Chr.  33.  11).  Not  till  the  end  of  Assur- 
bani-pal’s  reign,  in  the  general  decline  of  the 
Assyrian  Empire,  does  Judah  appear  to  have 
recovered  its  independence,  which,  however,  was 
soon  afterwards  lost,  first  to  Egypt,  under  Necho, 
and  then  to  Babylon,  under  Nebuchadrezzar.  In 
607  B.C.,  Nineveh  was  destroyed,  and  the  Assyrian 
Empire  came  to  an  end. 

Besides  Assur  (god  of  heaven),  the  supreme 
god  of  Assyria,  and  Ramman  (Aramaic  Riniinon, 
the  storm-god),  there  were  many  other  gods  and 
goddesses,  who  were  all  of  Babylonian  origin. 
The  Assyrians  were  distinguished  as  traders, 
soldiers,  and  political  administrators,  and  owed 


their  empire  to  the  perfection  of  their  military 
organization. 

The  discoveries  of  Layard  and  Rassam  at  Nine- 
veh half  a century  ago,  and  the  decipherment  by 
Grotefend  and  Sir  H.  Rawlinson  of  the  cuneiform 
character,  led  to  the  reading  of  the  monumental 
texts  of  Assyria,  carved  on  statues  and  obelisks, 
or  stored  in“the  royal  libraries  on  brick  tablets. 
The  work,  continued  by  G.  Smith,  by  Dr.  Sayce, 
and  by  many  others,  has  given  us  a very  com- 
plete account  of  Assyrian  history,  often  illus- 
trating the  Books  of  Kings  and  other  parts  of 
the  Old  Testament.  The  names  of  Jehu,  Azariah, 
Menahem,  Rekah,  Hoshea,  and  Hezekiah,  are 
mentioned  by  the  contemporary  Assyrian  kings.

ATHENS  [ath'ensl,  the  capital  of  Attica,  the 
chief  division  of  ancient  Greece,  and  the  seat 
of  Greek  literature,  art,  and  civilization.  St. 
Paul  visited  it  in  his  second  journey  (Acts  17. 15 ; 
1 Thes.  3.  1),  and  delivered  a famous  address  on 
the  Areopagus,  or  Hill  of  Mars  (Acts  17.  22-31). 

ATONEMENT  [a-tone’ment],  DAY  OF.  This  was 
the  annual  dav  of  humiliation  and  expiation  for 
the  sins  of  the  nation,  when  the  high  i)riest  made 
atonement  for  the  sanctuary,  the  priests,  and  the 
people.  It  was  celebrated  on  the  tenth  day  of 
the  seventh  month  by  abstinence  from  ordinary 
labor,  by  a holy  convocation,  and  by  fasting. 
It  was  the  only  fast  enjoined  by  the  Mosaic  law, 
and  hence  was  called  “the  fast”  (Acts  27.  9). 
The  high  priest,  laying  aside  his  , official  orna- 
ments, first  offered  a sin-offering  for  himself 
and  for  the  priesthood,  entering  into  the  Holy 
of  Holies  with  the  blood.  He  afterwards  took 
two  he-goats  for  the  nation.  One  was  slain  for 
Jehovah.  On  the  head  of  the  other  the  sins  of 
the  people  were  typically  laid ; it  was  made  the 
sin-bearer  of  the  nation;  and,  laden  with  guilt, 
was  sent  away  into  the  wilderness  (Lev.  16 ; 22. 
26-32 ; Num.  29.  7-11).

AUTHORIZED  [au'thor-ized]  VERSION,  i6ii. 
The  undertaking  of  this  version  sprang  out  of  the 
Hampton  Court  Conference  in  January  1604.  It 
was  accomplished  chiefly  because  of  the  keen  per- 
sonal interest  displayed'in  it  by  James  the  First. 
Fortv-seven  scholars  appear  to  have  taken  part 
in  the  work.  The  revisers  were  grouped  into  six 
I companies,  two  meeting  at  Westminster,  two  at 
Oxford,  two  at  Cambridge. 

The  principal  regiilations  for  the  guidance  of 
the  revisers  were  the  following : — (1)  “The 
Bishops’  Bible  to  be  followed,  and  as  little  al- 
tered as  the  original  will  permit;”  (3)  “The 
old  ecclesiastical  words  to  be  kept;”  (6)  “No 
marginal  notes,  but  only  for  the  explanation  of 
the  Hebrew  or  Greek  words;”  (9)  “As  anyone 
company  hath  dispatched  any  one  book,  they 
shall  send  it  to  the  rest,  to  be  considered  of  seri- 
ously and  judiciously;”  (14)  “These  translations 
to  be  used  when  they  agree  better  with  the  text 
than  the  Bishops’  Bible;  namely,  Tindal’s,  Mat- 
thew’s, Coverdale’s,  Whitchurch’s,  the  Geneva.” 

It  ought  always  to  be  clearly  borne  in  mind 
that  the  A.  V.  was  not  (t  neiv  translation ; it  was 
a thorough  and  scholarly  revision  of  an  already 
good  version.  The  translators  say  in  their  pref- 
I ace:  “Truly,  good  Christian  Reader,  we  never 
! thought  from  the  beginning  that  we  should 


Avenger  BIBLE  DICTIONAEY.  Babylonia 


need  to  make  a neAv  translation,  nor  yet  to 
make  of  a bad  one  a ffood  one  . . . but  to  make  a 
good  one  better.”  The  chief  defects  in  the  J.  V. 
were  mainly  two : (1)  Many  readings  were  fol- 
lowed in  the  A.  F.  which  suosequent  scholarship 
has  proved  to  be  unsound.  (2)  There  was  not 
any  uniform  method,  followed  alike  by  all  the 
companies,  of  rendering  words  and  phrases. 

The  text  of  Beza’s  Latin  and  Greek  Testament 
of  1598  most  nearly  represents  the  text  the  re- 
visers followed;  and  the  two  English  versions 
whose  influence  can  be  most  clearly  traced 
throughout  are  the  Geneva  Bible  (1560),  and  the 
Rheims  Testament  (1582).  [See  Exglish  Bible.] 

AVENGER  [a-ven'gerj.  Hebrew  custom,  like 
that  of  many  other  early  peoples,  authorized  and 
even  required  the  next-of-kin  to  avenge  a mur- 
dered person  by  killing  his  murderer  (2  Sam.  14. 
7 if.).  The  Mosaic  legislation  aimed  at  mitigat- 
ing its  effects  by  providing  cities  of  refuge  (q.v.) 
to  which  a homicide  might  escape,  and  where  he 
might  claim  a fair  trial  (see  Num.  35.  9-32). 

AZAZEL  [a-za'zel]  (Lev.  16.  8,  10,  26),  the  evil 
spirit  of  the  wilderness  to  whom  on  the  Day  of 
Atonement  the  goat  laden  with  the  sins  of  the 
people  is  said  to  be  sent.  [See  Atonement,

had  its  local  Baal,  who  fertilized  the  land  by  his 
springs,  and  to  whom,  as  divine  landlord,  trib- 
ute was  due.  The  special  Baal  introduced  by 
Ahab  was  Melkart,  of  Tvre. 

BAALZEBUB  |ba'al-ze'bub]  (2  Kings  1.  2,3,  6,

noted  as  a giver  of  oracles.  Beelzehnl  (A.  V.  and 
/’.  F.  Beelzebub),  which  in  time  of  the  New  Testa- 
ment (Mat.  10.  25 ; 12.  24,  27 ; Mark  3.  22 ; Luke  11. 
15, 18,  19)  had  become  a name  for  the  “ prince  of 
the  demons,”  is  an  easier  pronunciation  of  the 
same  name  {of.  Beliar  for  Belial,  and  Bab-el- 
wandel,  the  common  pronunciation  of  Bab-el- 
inan/leb). 

BABEL  [ba'bel]  (“gate  of  Cod”),  Greek  form 
Babylon,  the  great  city  built  on  both  sides  of 
the  lower  Euphrates,  which  from  the  time  of 
Khammurabi  (2100  b.c.)  was  the  capital  of  the 
Babylonian  Empire.  The  Bible  records  its  pri- 


meval origin  (Gen.  10.  10),  and  the  " Tower  of 
Babel”  has  been  found  in  its  great  temple  of 
Bel.  Babylon  was  to  the  Hebrew  prophets  what 
Rome  w'as  to  John  in  the  Apocalypse  — the  chief 
centre  of  the  glory  and  ungodliness  of  the  world. 
It  is  now  a complete  ruin. 

BABYLONIA  [bab'y-lo'ni-a],  the  ancient  name 
of  Low^er  Mesopotamia.  Sumerian  or  Accadian 
is  the  title  given  to  the  supposed  non-Semitic 
language  of  Babylonia,  spoken  by  its  earlier  in- 
habitants, the  inventors  of  the  cuneiform  system 
of  Avriting,  the  builders  of  its  great  cities,  and 
the  founders  of  its  culture.  They  were  dispos- 
sessed by  Semites,  who  adopted  and  improved 
the  civilization  they  found  in  the  country,  and 
intermarried  with  its  population.  The'  later 
Babylonians  were,  consequently,  a mixed  race. 
But  the  existence  of  a separate  Sumerian  race 
and  language  is  doubteil  by  some  eminent 
scholars,  who  hold  that  the  earliest  known  in- 
habitants of  Babylonia  M^ere  Semites. 

Babylonia  was  divided  into  the  two  districts 
of  Accad  in  the  north,  and  Sumer  (probably  the 
Shinar  of  the  Old  Testament)  in  the  south. 
Among  its  chief  cities  were  Ur,  Erech  (Gen.  10. 
10),  Larsa  (the  Ellasar  of  Gen.  14.  1),  Nippur, 
Sepharvaim  (2  Kings  17.  24,  “the  two  Sip- 
paras”),  Eridu  (“the  good  city”),  and  Calneh 
(Gen.  10.  10). 

The  salt-marshes  at  the  mouths  of  the  Euphra- 
tes and  Tigris  (the  Merathaim  of  Jer.  .50. 21)  were 
the  original  home  of  the  Kalda,  or  Chaldaeans. 

The  most  famous  of  the  early  kings  of  Baby- 
lonia were  Sargon  of  Agade  or  Accad. (about  3800 
B O.),  and  his  son,  Naram-Sin,  who  conquered  a 
large  part  of  Western  Asia  (including  Palestine). 
A great  Babylonian  library  w'as  founded  in  the 
reign  of  Sargon.  Babylonia  subsequently  fell 
under  the  domination  of  Elam.  This  was  put  an 
end  to  by  Khammu-rabi  (the  Amraphel  of  Gen. 
14. 1),  who  drove  out  the  Elamites,  overcame  the 
Elamite  prince  Arioch,  and  founded  a united 
monarchy  about  2100  B.c.  About  1726  b.c.  it  was 
conquered  by  the  Kassi,  or  Kossseans,  from  the 
mountains  of  Elam ; and  a Kassite  dynasty  ruled 
over  it  for  576  years  and  9 months.  In  this 
epoch,  Canaan  passed  into  the  hands  of  Egypt. 

In  729  B.C.,  Babylonia  was  conquered  by  the 
Assyrian  king  Tiglath-pileser  HI.;  but  on  the 
death  of  Shalmaneser  IV.  (723  b.c.),  it  was 
seized  by  the  Kalda  or  “Chaldaean”  prince 
Merodach-baladan  (2  Kings  20.  12-19),  who  held 
it  till  709  B.C.,  when  he  was  driven  out  by  Sargon. 

Babylonia  revolted  from  . Sennacherib,  who 
destroyed  Babylon  in  689  b.c.  It  was  rebuilt  by 
Esar-liaddon,  who  made  it  one  of  his  residences ; 
and  it  was  to  Babylon  that  Manasseh  w'as 
brought  a prisoner  (2  C hr.  33.  11).  After  the 
death  of  Esar-haddon,  Samas-sum-ukin,  the 
viceroy  of  Babylonia,  revolted  against  his 
brother  the  Assyrian  king,  and  the  revolt  was 
supiiressed  with'difficulty. 

When  Nineveh  was  destroyed,  607  B.c.,Nabo- 
polassar,  the  viceroy  of  Babylonia,  made  him- 
self independent.  His  son  Nebuchadrezzar, 
after  defeating  the  Egyptians  at  Carchemish, 
succeeded  him  as  king,  605  b.c.,  and  founded 
the  New  Babylonian  Empire.  He  strongly  forti- 
fied Babylon,  and  adorned  it  with  palaces.  His 
son,  Evif-Merodach,  who  succeeded  him  in  661 
B.C.,  was  murdered  after  a reign  of  two  years. 
The  last  monarch  of  the  Babylonian  Emiiir'e  w\as 
Nabonidus,  555-538  B.C,,  w'hose  eldest  son,  Bel- 
shazzar, is  mentioned  in  several  inscriptions. 
Babylon  was  captured  by  Cyrus  538  b.c.  ; and 
though  it  revolted  more  than  once,  never  suc- 
ceeded in  maintaining  its  independence. 

An  annalistic  tablet  of  (’yrus,  now  in  the 
British  Museum,  describes  the  fall  of  the  Baby- 
lonian Empire  in  538  B.c.  In  June  the  Babylo- 
nian army  was  defeated  at  Opis,  and  Sippara 
“ was  taken  without  fighting.”  Gobryas,  the 
governor  of  Kurdistan,  captured  Babylon  “ with-

out  fighting,”  and  also  the  king  (Nabonidus) ; 
and  in  October,  Cyrus  assumed  the  title  of  “ king 
of  Babylon.”  A proclamation  of  Cyrus  says  that 
he  restored  to  their  native  lands  the  exiles  in 
Babylonia,  together  with  their  gods.  The  Jews, 
who  had  no  images,  took  with  them  the  sacred 
vessels  of  the  Temple.  ^ ^ v. 

The  patron  god  of  Babylon  was  Bel-Merodach, 
often  called  sfmply  Bel  (or  ” lord”),  who  became 
the  supreme  god  of  Babylonia.  His  minister 
and  interpreter  was  Nebo  “ the  prophet,”  to 
whom  the  origin  of  writing  was  ascribed.  The 
chief  goddess  was  Istar,  originally  the  goddess 
of  the  evening  and  morning  stars  (worshipped  in 
Canaan  as  Ashtoreth).  Other  deities  were  the 
sun-god  Tammuz,  whose  supposed  death  was 
annually  mourned  by  the  women  (Ezek.  8.  14); 
and  Rainman,  or  Rimmon,  or  Hadad,  the  god  of 
the  atmosphere,  whose  name  appears  in  Cath- 
Rimmon,  etc.  Dagon  and  Moloch  were  also  im- 
ported from  Babylon.

of  the  people  of  Jiidsea  to  Babylon  in  597  and  586 
to  their  return  in  .538  n.c. 

BADGER  SKINS  [badg'er]  (“Seal  Skins”  or 
“Porpoise  Skins,”  E.V.),  used  for  the  covering 
of  the  Tabernacle,  and  (Ezek.  16. 10)  for  women  s 
shoes;  probably  skins  of  seals  and  dugongs, 
which  were  common  in  the  Red  Sea. 

BALAAM  Lba'laam],  a Mesopotamian  prophet, 
who,  when  summoned  by  the  Moabite  king 
Balak  to  curse,  actually  blessed,  Israel;  but, 
bribed  by  “the  wages  of  unrighteousness, 
seduced  the  people  into  impurity.  In  the  New 
Testament  he  is  the  tvpe  of  the  false  prophets. 

BALM  [balm],  an  odoriferous  resin,  highly 
esteemed  in  the  East  for  its  healing  virtues  (Jer. 
8.  22 ; 46, 11 ; 51. 8).  It  was  an  article  of  commerce 
between  the  Jews  and  the  Tyrians  (Ezek.  27. 17). 

BAPTISM  [bap'tism],  a symbolic  washing  or 
bathing,  signifving  repentance,  the  putting 
away  of  sin,  and  the  beginning  of  a new  life.  It 
appears  first  in  the  New  Testament  in  connec- 
tion with  the  ministry  of  J ohn  the  Baptist  (Mat. 
3.  6),  and  afterwards  in  connection  with  the 
preaching  of  the  apostles,  both  during  (John  4, 
2)  and  after  (Acts  2.  38)  the  lifetime  of  Jesus.

BARAK  [ba'rak]  (“  lightning-fiash  ”),  of  Ke- 
desh-Naphtali,  son  of  Abinoam,  encouraged  by 
the  prophetess  Deborah  to  take  the  lead  in  the 
struggle  against  the  Canaanites,  seized  Mount 
Tabor  with  10,000  men,  and,  rushing  down  the 
mountain,  defeated  Sisera’s  army  at  its  foot  and 
along  the  right  bank  of  the  Kishon,  near  Me- 
giddo.  A splendid  “ song  of  Deborah  and 
Barak”  celebrates  the  victory  (Judg.  5). 

BARLEY  [bar'ley]  was  extensively  cultivated 
in  Palestine  and  neighboring  countries  from  the 
earliest  times  (Ex.  9.  31 ; Lev.  27, 16,  etc.). 

BARNABAS  [biir’na-bas]  (“  son  of  exhorta- 
tion”), St.,  the  surname  given  by  the  apostles 
to  .Joses  or  Joseph,  a Levite  of  Cyprus  (Acts 
4.  36),  who  was  sent  by  them  to  Antioch  to 
confirm  the  church  there.  From  Antioch  he 
“went  forth  to  Tarsus  to  seek  for  Saul, 
whom  he  had  before  introduced  at  Jerusalem 
to  St,  Peter  and  St.  James  as  a new  convert 
(9.  27),  When  he  had  brought  him  to  Antioch, 
they  remained  there  together  for  a year,  and 
“ taught  much  people  ” (11.  25,  26).  Barnabas 
accompanied  St,  Paul  on  his  first  missionary 
journey,  and  on  his  journey  to  the  council  at 
Jerusalem,  and  afterwards  at  Antioch  (15.  35). 
When  St.  Paul,  starting  on  his  second  missionary 
journey,  refused  to  taLe  John  Mark,  the  cousin 
of  Barnabas,  the  two  apostles  separated,  Barna- 
bas taking  Mark  with  him  to  Cyprus.  St.  Paul 
refers  to  him  in  1 Cor.  9.  6;  Gal.  2.  13;  Col.  4.  10. 
The  authorship  of  the  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews 
was  attributed  to  Barnabas  by  Tertiillian.  The 
Codex  Sinaiticus  includes  an  “ Epistle  of  Bar- 
nabas,” which  was  regarded  as  canonical  by 


many  in  the  ancient  church,  but  is  held  to  date 
from  the  beginning  of  the  second  century  a.d. 

BARTHOLOMEW  [bar-thol'o-mew]  (“son  of 
Talmai”),  one  of  the  twelve  apostles  of  Jesus 
(Mat.  10.  3;  Mark  3.  18;  Luke  6.  14;  Acts  1.  13)! 
He  is  commonly  identified  with  Nathanael  of 
Cana  of  Galilee  (John  1.  45-51;  21.  2),  on  the 
ground  that  (1)  Bartholomew  is  not  mentioned 
in  St.  John,  nor  Nathanael  in  the  other  three 
gospels;  and  (2)  Philip  is  in  the  first  three  gos- 
pels associated  with  Bartholomew,  in  St.  John 
with  Nathaniel. 

BARUCH  [ba'ruch]  (“blessed”),  BOOK  OF,  and 
Epistle  of  Jeremiah;  The  Book  of  Baruch,  of 
which  the  Epistle  of  Jeremiah  constitutes  the 
sixth  chapter  in  the  Latin  Vulgate,  is  written  in 
the  name  of  Baruch,  the  scribe  of  Jeremiah,  and 
contains  exhortations  to  the  captives  in  Baby- 
lon, with  promises  of  their  return.  The  Epistle 
of  Jeremiah,  which  is  commonly  attached  to 
Baruch,  is  a protest  against  idolatry.  [See 
Apocrypha.] 

BAT  [bat],  classed  among  unclean  winged 
creatures  (Lev.  11.  19 ; Deut.  14.  18).  It  swarms 
in  the  numberless  ravines,  caves,  and  ruins  of 
Palestine  (ct’.  Isa.  2.  20).  _ 

BAY-TREE  [bay]  does  not  refer  to  a particular 
kind  of  tree,  but  to  a tree  growing  luxuriantly 
in  its  native  soil,  and  is  thus  translated  by  the 
re\'isers  (Ps.  37.  35).  There  is  no  ground  for 
identifying  the  tree  with  the  bay  or  noble  laurel, 
as  our  translators  and  others  have  done. 

BDELLIUM  [del'yum]  (Heb.  bedo-lach;  Gr. 
rendering  in  Genesis  anthrax,  in  Numbers 
crystallus).  What  is  meant  is  uncertain,  prob- 
ably a gem,  but  some  have  suggested  a vege- 
table gum,  others  pearls.  Gen.  2.  12. 

BEAN  [bean],  used  both  as  a vegetable  and  as 
flour  bv  the  Jews  (2  Sam.  17.  28 ; Ezek.  4.  9^ 
BEAR  [bear].  The  bear  of  Syria,  little  different 
from  the  brown  bear  of  Europe,  is  still  common 
on  Hermon  and  in  the  Lebanon.  Its  ferocity, 
especially  when  deprived  of  its  cubs,  is  several 
times  referred  to  in  Scripture  (2  Sam.  17.  8 ; Prov. 
17.  12;  Hos.  13.  8),  as  well  as  its  deep  growl  (Isa. 
59.  11).  ^ 

BEARD  [beard]  (Lev.  19.  27).  Beards  were  worn 
long  and  carefully  trimmed.  To  neglect  the  beard 


was  a sign  of  mourning  (Isa.  15.  2) ; to  pluck  an- 
other by  the  beard  was  to  insult  him.  [&ee  also 

^bS)  [bed]  (Gen.  47. 31 ; Mat.9. 2).  The  poorer  peo-

and  the  more  luxurious  had  bedsteads  carved

The  honey-bee  of  Palestine  is  very 
similar  in  appearance  and  habits  to  that  of 
Northern  Europe,  but  it  is  perceptibly  smaller, 
and  has  more  conspicuous  black  bands  on  the 
body;  it  therefore  has  been  distinguished  as  a 
separate  species,  Apia  /(isciata,  the  ‘‘banded 
bee.”  It  is  extremely  abundant  in  a wild  state, 
hence  Canaan  was  described  as  ‘’a  land  flowing 
with  milk  and  honey  ” (Ex.  3.  «,  IT).  Honey  was 
exported  to  Tyre  (Ezek.  27. 17) . [See  He  )UN et.] 

BEETLE  [bee 'tie],  A.  V. ; Cricket,  NA  . In  the 
A V.  the  Hebrew  word  chargol,  which  occurs  in 
Lev.  11.  22,  is  translated  “beetle.”  However, 
the  context  renders  it  ]irobable  that  some  other 
kind  of  insect,  akin  to  the  locust  or  grasshopper, 
was  meant  by  it.  Although  beetles  are  verv 
numerous  in  Palestine,  they  are  not  mentioned 

in  any  other  passage/)f  the  Bible. 

BEHEMOTH  [be  he-moth]  (Job  40.  1.5-24),  the 
hippopotamus,  the  HebreAV  name  being  formed 
from  the  Egvptian  name  •*  water  ox  (c/ . the 


lIieroi'OT.vML'S  Ampiiibius. 


Arabic  name  “ water  buffalo  ”).  An  old  Egyptian 
monument  depicts  the  taking  of  the  hippopota- 
mus by  spear  and  pitfall,  the  means  now  used  by 
the  Sudanese  (cL  Job.  40.  24).  _ 

BEL  [bel],  the  Babvlonian  and  Assyrian  form 
of  Baal.  [See  Babyloxia.] 

BELSHAZZAR  [bel-shaz'zar].  [See  Babylonia.] 
BERYL  [ber'yl]  (Heb.  Hr.  hprijfho))). 

The  beryl  is  an  alumina  glucina  silicate,  of  a 
iiale  sea-green  color,  closely  allied  to  the  emer- 
ald, which,  however,  is  a richer  and  brighter 
green.  It  was  well  known  in  classic  times,  but 
whether  it  is  the  stone  meant  by  tarshWi  is  un- 
certain. Since  it  occurs  in  Egypt  (as  does  the 
emerald)  this  is  not  impossible.  Both  are  con- 
siderablv  harder  than  steel.  Ex.  28.  20. 

BETHANY  [beth'a-ny] — “ house  of  dates  — 
(Mat.  21.  17,  etc.),  a village  on  the  southeast 
slope  of  Olivet,  fifteen  furlongs  from  Jerusalem. 

BETHEL  [beth'el]  (Hen.  12.  8,  etc.),  “house  ot 
Crod,”  the  site  of  Abraham’s  altar,  near  Luz. 
eleven  miles  north  of  Jerusalem.  A sacred  place 
under  the  Judges,  it  was  the  chief  seat  of  the 
idolatry  under  Jeroboam. 

BETHESDA  [be-thes'da].  [See  JERrsALEM.] 
BETHLEHEM  [beth'le -hem]  (“house  of  bread  ’). 
or  Ephratah  — “fruitful”  — (Hen.  3.5.  19,  etc.),  a 
\ illage  of  Judah,  five  miles  south  of  Jerusalem, 
the  home  of  David  and  birthplace  of  our  Lord; 
now  a flourishing  town  of  5,000  inhabitants.  On 
the  traditional  site  of  the  rock-cut  manger 
stands  perhaps  the  oldest  existing  Christian 
church  in  the  world.  . ^ 

BIBLE  [bl  hie].  The  word  Bible  is  from  the 
Greek  biblio,  “ books.”  The  whole  collection  of 
sacred  Scriptures  was  called  Ta  Biblia,  V?® 
books,”  par  excellPMce..  The  Greek  plural  biblut 
came  to  be  used  in  Late  Latin  as  a feminine 


singular  noun.  Hence,  in  modern  languages,  it 
appears  as  La  Bible,  Die  Bibel,  and  the  like. 

The  Bible  falls  into  two  parts,  commonly  called 
the  Old  and  New  Testaments,  instead  of  the 
more  complete  title,  “ Books  of  the  Old  and  New 
Testaments.”  The  word  Testament  is  from  the 
Latin  testamentum,  “a  will,”  which  was  the 
Vulgate  rendering  of  the  Greek  diatheke,  used, 
for  example,  by  St.  Paul  in  2 Cor.  3. 14.  Diatheke, 
again,  was  the  rendering  in  the  LXX.  of  the 
Hebrew  bertth , “ covenant.”  The  Law  was  based 
upon  a Covenant  {q.v.),  and  the  Book  of  the 
Covenant  (Ex.  24.  7)  was  the  obvious  name  f9r  a 
writing  embodying  it.  And  as  the  gospel  is  a 
new  covenant  contrasted  with  the  old,  we  speak 
of  the  Old  and  the  New  Covenant  when  we  mean 
the  tAvo  dispensations. 

The  Bible  is  “a  divine  library,” 'consisting  of 
many  books,  given  forth  “by  divers  portions 
and  in  divers  manners,”  each  having  had  its 
special  occasion  and  mode  of  composition, 
though  all  inspired  with  one  divine  purpose. 

The  books  are  manifold  in  their  literary  forms, 
diversified  in  their  subjects;  yet  united  they 
form  a divine  revelation,  and  are  appropriately 
enough  described  as  the  Word  of  God.  Not  m 
the  sense  that  every  verse  and  every  sentence  is 
like  an  oracle  proclaimed  from  heaven,  in  such  a 
wav,  for  example,  as  the  Mohammedans  regard 
their  Koran ; for  the  folly  of  man  is  allowed  to 
i speak  in  its  pages  as  v^ell  as  the  wnsdom  of  God, 
and  there  is  the  fullest  record  of  human  perver- 
sitv  as  well  as  the  clearest  expression  of  divine 
goodness  and  justice.  It  is  not  in  the  individual 
words  and  phrases  that  the  value  of  these  books 
lies  as  a revelation:  it  is  in  the  continuity  and 
: connection  of  the  Aidiole.  . 

BIER  [birr]  (2  Sam.  3.  31;  Luke  7.  14).  'The 
! Israelites,  like  the  later  Jews,  buried  the  bodies 
of  their  dead  (Gen.  23.  19).  The  burial  was 
j Avithin  a few  hours  after  death.  Probably  the 
i wooden  framework  of  a bed  served  for  a bier, 

' as  the  same  Avord  is  used  for  both.  , 

I BIRDS  [birds].  There  are  in  Palestine  about  350 
species  of  birds,  20  of  Avhich  are  peculiar  to  that 
country.  In  the  LaAv,  nineteen  (Lev.  11. 13-19)  or 
tAventy  (Dent.  14.  11-20)  species  of  birds,  mostly 
carniA  orous,  are  (with  the  addition  of  the  bat)

pigeons,  as  Song  of  Sol.  2.  14;  Jer.  48.

they  are  often  placed  inside  the  walls  in  the 
houses  of  the  poor.  At  the  present  day  par- 
tridges abound,  and  also  wild  ducks,  especially  in 
the  Jordan  valley;  and  the  stork  (Heb.  the 
“pious”  bird)  is  common  on  the  plains.  There 
are  eight  species  of  ravens,  and  various  species 
of  vultures  and  hawks  are  seen,  especially  near 
the  Dead  Sea.  There  is,  on  the  whole,  a defi- 
ciency of  singing  birds,  though  blackbirds, 
larks,  finches,  cuckoos,  and  Palestine  nightin- 
gales (Arab,  milbul)  are  heard  in  spring.  The 
other  birds  mentioned  in  the  Bible  are  the  bit- 
tern (for  which  the  R.  F.,  following  the  LXX. 
text,  gives  porcupine),  the  common  cock  and 
hen  (not  mentioned  in  the  Old  Testament,  but 
common  in  New  Testament  times),  the  cormo- 
rant, the  crane,  the  eagle  (margin  of  R.  V.  gives 
great  vulture,  or  vulture, — probably  the  griffon), 
the  gier-eagle  (the  Egyptian  vulture,  or  Pharaoh’s 
hen,  R.  V.  vulture),  the  glede  (probably  the  buz- 
zard), the  heron,  the  lapwing  {R.  V.  hoopoe),  the 
kite  {R.  V.  falcon),  the  osprey,  the  ostrich,  the 
ossifrage  {R.  V.  gier-eagle,—  the  bearded  vulture 
or  lammergeier),  various  species  of  owls,  the 
peacock  (imported  by  Solomon),  the  pelican,  the 
sparrow,  the  swallow  and  swift,  and  the  swan. 

BIRTHRIGHT  [birth'right']  (Gen.  25.  31 ; Heb. 
12. 16),  a position  of  peculiar  honor  and  privilege 
assigned  to  the  eldest  son  (“  the  beginning  of 
his  father’s  strength,”  Deut.  21. 17).  The  “ double 
portion”  was  his  right.  The  birthright  could 
be  parted  with  (Gen.  25.  33),  or  lost  through 
misconduct  (1  Chr.  5.  1). 

BISHOP  [bish'op]  (Gr.  “ overseer  ”)  is  in  the 
New  Testament  one  of  the  overseers  of  a Chris- 
tian congregation,  and  synonymous  with  pres- 
byter (elder  q.v.).  In  the  course  of  the  second 
century  the  chairman  or  moderator,  distin- 
guished from  his  fellow-elders  as  2^rb)it(s  inter 
pares  (first  among  his  equals),  concentrated  in 
his  hand  the  superintendence  and  teaching  of 
the  congregation,  and  the  name  of  bishop  came 
to  be  confined  to  him. 

BISHOPS’  BIBLE  [blsh'ops’  bl'ble].  In  1568, 
the  large,  handsome  folio  first  edition  of  the 
Bishops’  Bible  was  published.  It  was  prepared 
mainly  by  Episcopalian  scholars,  under  the 
supervision  of  Archbishop  Parker.  From  its 
rendering  of  Jer.  8.  22,  “ Is  there  no  trvacle  in 
Giliad?”  it  is  vulgarly  called  the  “‘Treacle 
Bible.”  The  volume  is  printed  in  bold  black 
letter.  In  1571,  copies  were  ordered  to  be  placed 
in  all  the  churches.  The  Geneva  Bible  became 
more  and  more  the  Bible  of  the  people  in  their 
homes  for  private  study;  the  Bishops’,  the  Bible 
publicly  read  in  the  churches.  [See  English 
Bible.] 

BITUMEN  [bl-tu'men]  (Heb.  zepheth  or  eha- 
rnar,  Gr.  asph, altos,  A.V.  slime).  The  name 
includes  several  compounds  of  carbon  and 
hydrogen,  from  which  pitch,  asphalt,  etc.,  are 
obtained.  Bitumen  is  often  stranded  on  the 
shores  of  the  Dead  Sea.  It  occurs  at  the  base 
of  Hermon,  and  there  are  springs  of  it  in  the 
Euphrates  valley.  It  is  also  found  near  Nine- 
veh. This  substance  is  not  necessarily  con- 
nected with  volcanic  disturbances. 

BOAR  [boar]  WILD.  'HqX).  chaztr  {Sns  scrofa 
Mentioned  with  reference  to  its  destructive 
habits  in  Ps.  80.  13:  “The  boar  out  of  the  wood 
doth  waste  it.”  Wild  boars  are  especially  numer- 
ous in  the  thickets  and  brakes  of  the  Jordan 
valley,  whence,  when  the  river  rises  just  before 
harvest,  they  are  driven  out,  and  play  havoc 
with  the  cornfields  and  cultivated  ground  of 
the  uplands.  They  are  equally  common  in 
the  southern  wilderness,  where  they  plough  the 
ground  for  the  bulbs  which  abound  there. 

BOTTLES  [bSt'tles]  in  Palestine  were,  and  are 
to  this  day,  commonly  made  of  the  skin  of  a 
goat  turned  inside  out. 

BOX  [b6x]  is  twice  mentioned  in  association 
with  the  fir-tree  and  the  pine  (Isa.  41. 19;  60. 13j. 


They  grow  together,  forming  the  beauty  of 
Lebanon.  Some  have  it  that  the  references  in 
the  verses  are  to  the  cypress;  but  the  box  grows 
also  in  Lebanon,  and  attains  a considerable 
height.  That  the  box  is  referred  to  is  confirmed 
by  the  rendering  of  Ezek.  27.  6 bv  the  revisers, 
in  which  the  benches  of  the  Tyrian  ships  are 
said  to  be  “ of  ivory  inlaid  in  boxwood  from  the 
isles  of  Kittim.” 

BRAMBLE  [bram'ble].  Brier,  Thistle,  Thorn, 
represented  by  nine  words  in  the  Old  Testament 


Branch  in  flower  and  a separate  flower  ; branch  in  fruit  — 
the  fruit  has  a broad  thin  brim. 

and  three  in  the  New  Testament.  Spine-bearing 
plants  form  a considerable  portion  of  the  flora 
of  Palestine. 

BRASS  [brass],  Bronze,  etc.  [.See  CorPER.] 
BREAD  [bread]  was  commonlv  of  wheat-meal, 
sometimes  of  barley  (Judg.  7.  13 ; 2 Kings  4.  42). 
The  meal  was  kneaded  in  wooden  “troughs” 
(Ex.  1,2. 34) ; the  dough  was  then  mixed  with  yeast 
or  leaven,  and  pressed  or  cut  into  thin,  round 
cakes,  theh  baked  over  hot  stones  or  in  an  oven. 

BREASTPLATE  (High-priest’s)  [breast'plate'

BRETHREN  [breth'ren]  OF  JESUS,  four  in 
number  (Mat.  13.  55 ; Mark  6.  3),  during  his  life 
unbelieving  (John  7.  3-7),  were  among  the,  earli- 
est members  (Acts  1. 14)  and  missionaries  (1  Cor. 
9.  5)  of  the  church.  One  of  them,  St.  James 
“ the  Lord’s  brother,”  had  the  authority  of  an 
apostle  (Gal.  1.  19;  2.  9 and  12).

BULRUSH  [bill  riish'],  the  ])apyrus,  which 
formerly  grew  iii  the  X"ile,  rooting  itself  in  the 
river  mud  (Ex.  2.  3;  Job  8.  11 ; see  margin  R.  V., 
and  cf.  Isa.  18.  2,  R.  J \).  It  is  now  extinct  in 
Egypt,  though  still  found  higher  up  the  Nile 
valley.  It  covers  acres  of  the  shallow  water  in 
Lake  Merom.  The  iiapyrus  has  a triangular  stem 
eight  to  ten  feet  high,  terminating  in  a bush  of 
slender  leaves,  from  which  ])aper  was  made. 

BURIAL  [bur'i-al,  ber'rl-al]  was  probably,  as  it 
now  is  in  Palestine,  on  the  day  of  death,  or  next 
day.  As  soon  as  death  had  taken  place,  the  eyes  of 
the  dead  were  closed  (Gen.  46.  4).  The  body  was 
washed  (Acts  9.  37),  anointed  (Mark  16.  1 ; Luke

24  1 • John  12. 7 ; 19. 40),  and  swathed  in  linen  (Mat. 
27!  59;  Mark  15.  40).  There  is  no  mention  of  the 
Egyptian  custom  of  embalming  (Gen.  50.  2,  26)  as 
having  ever  been  followed  by  Israelites.  In  Old 
Testament  times  the  dead  appear  to  have  been 
buried  in  the  clothes  worn  in  life.  The  dead  body 
was  carried  to  the  grave  on  an  open  bier  (2  ham 
3.  Slh  followed  by  the  mourners  and  professional 
wailing-women  (Eccl.  12.  5;  Jer.  9.  li -20;  Amos 
5 IG).  Burning  of  ths  doaclwas  rosortod  to  only 
in  the  case  of  criminals  guilty  of  the  most  hate- 
ful crimes  (Lev.  20. 14;  21.  9;  Josh  7 2o)  and 
was  regarded  with  horror  (Amos  2.  1).  It  was 
the  greatest  calamity  to  be  deprived  of  burial 
(2  Kfngs  9.  10;  Jer.  8.  2;  9.  22;  22.  19;  Ezek.  29.  5; 
Ps  79.  2,  3).  Many  passages  of  the  Old  Testa- 
ment prove  the  desire  of  Israelites  to  be  buried  m 
the  family  burving-place  (“  with  their  fathers  ), 
an  evidence  of  their  belief  that  the  communion 
of  kindred  subsisted  after  death  (Gen.  15.  15; 

1 Kings  13.  22,  etc.).  The  burial  places  were 
graves  dug  in  the  earth,  caves,  or  chambers  hewn 
but  in  the  rock  (Isa.  22. 16),  and  closed  with  large 
stones  to  secure  them  from  wild  beasts, 
rock  sepulchres  abound  in  the  neighborhood  of 
Jerusalem.  In  later  times  the  custom  arose  of 
white-washing  every  year  after  the  rainy  season 
the  stones  enclosing  the  sepulchres,  to  prevent 
passers-by  from  being  accidentally  dehled  by 
touching  them  (cf.  Mat.  23.  27).  . 

BURNT -OFFERINGS  [burnt  -5f  fer-ingsl,  or 
sacrifices,  in  which  the  victim  was  wholly  burnt 
with  fire,  to  express  the  entire  surrender  of  the 
offerer  to  God,  are  mentioned  in  Genesis  as 
offered  by  Abel  (4. 3, 4),  Noah  (8.  20),  and  Abraham 
(22  2 7,  8,  13).  The  law  prescribed  them  every 
Sabbath  (Num.  28.  9,  10),  everj^  month  (28. 11-15), 
at  the  Passover  (28.  19-23),  on  the  Day  of  Atone- 
ment (Lev.  16),  at  Pentecost  (23.  16),  ainl  at  the 
Feast  of  Trumpets  (23.  23-25).  Freewill  hurnt- 
off  erings  were  sanctioned  by  Lev .1.1^ 
offered  at  Solomon’s  accession  (1  Chr.  29.  21), 
and  in  connection  with  Hezekiah’s  reformation 
(2  Chr.  29.  31-35). 


Camphire 


I Chr.  27.  1-15).  A strictly  lunar  year  would 

cause  the  annual  festivals,  as  fixed  by  the  calen- 
dar, constantly  to  I'ecede  from  their  appropriate 
agricultural  seasons.  The  year  was  doubtless 
brought  into  correspondence  with  the  sun  by 
the  intercalation  of  a thirteenth  month  every- 
three  or  four  years.  . 

The  year  began  in  the  spring,  with  the  month 
Abib  or  Nisan ; but  there  was  apparently  a civil 
or  rather  agricultural  year  also  from  the  earliest 
times,  which  began  in  the  autumn  (cf.  Ex.  23.  16 ; 
34.  22;  Lev.  25.  4,  9 ff.).  Some  time  after  the 
Exile  the  custom  arose  of  keeping  the  new  moon 
of  the  seventh  mouth  as  new  year’s  day. 

Day  was  reckoned  from  evening  to  evening 
(Lev.  23.  32).  The  exact  designation  of  the  mvil 
day  was  evening  to  morning  (Dan.  8. 14;  2 Cor. 

II  25).  The  day  was  divided  into  morning,  noon, 
and  evening  (Ps.  55. 17) ; or  more  precisely  into 
daivn,  sunrise,  heat  of  the  day,  cool  of  the  day, 
time  when  the  women  are  wont  to  go  forth  to 
draw  water,  time  of  the  evening  sacrifice.  Ihe 
phrase,  “between  the  two  evenings,  probably 
meant  the  twilight. 

After  the  Exile  the  use  of  hours  became  com- 
mon, and  the  day  from  sunrise  to  sunset  was 
divided  into  twelve  hours  (Mat.  20.  1-12;  John 
11.  9).  The  night  was  divided  into  three  watches : 
from  sunset  to  midnight,  midnight  to  cock- 
crow, cock-crow  to  sunrise ; but  in  the  Grecian 
and  Roman  period  into  four  watches.  A divi- 
sion of  the  night  into  twelve  hours  was  also  in 
use  A seven-day  period  is  mentioned  in  the 
Hebrew  and  Babylonian  accounts  of  the  t lood. 
The  Hebrews  numbered  the  days  of  the  week. 
The  seventh  day  only  was  named,  being  often 
called  Sabbath.  [See  Time.]

CALAMUS  [eal'a-miisl,  or  sweet  flag,  was  im- 
ported from  a far  country  (Jer.  6.  20),  and  sold  in 
the  markets  of  Tyre  (Ezek.  27.  19),  and  is  still 
brought  to  the  Damascus  market  from  Arabia. 
Its  root-stock  is  aromatic.  It  was  a chief  ingre- 
dient of  the  holy  anointing  oil  (Ex.  30.  23). 

CAIAPHAS  [ea'ia-phas]  (Mat.  26.  3.  57;  John 
11.  49;  18.  13-28;  Luke  3.  2;  Acts  4.  6),  Jewish 
high-priest  in  the  time  of  Jesus.  His  proper 
name  was  Joseph,  Caiaphas  being  his  surname. 
He  was  a son-in-law  of  Annas,  high-priest  7-14 
v.D.  Under  the  Roman  dominion  the  high- 
priests  were  frequently  changed;  but  Caiaphas 
held  the  office  long.  He  was  appointed  by 
Pilate’s  predecessor,  Valerius  Gratus(15-26  a.d.), 
probably  about  18  a.p.,  and  not  removed  till 
after  tlie  deposition  of  Pilate  by  Vitellius,  gov- 
ernor of  Syria,  in  36  a.p.  The  statement  (John 
11. 49 ; 18. 13)  that  Caiaphas  was  “ high  priest  that 
year  ’’  has  led  some  to  suppose  M-rongly  that  the 
high-priests  were  at  that  time  changed  every 
year.  The  usage  of  Josephus  in  extending  the 
title  “high-priest”  to  all  those  still  living  who 
had  held  the  office  explains  how  Annas  is  so 
styled  in  Acts  4.  6 and  probably  John  18. 19,  22. 

CALENDAR  [cal'en-dar].  [For  Table  of  Months

The  flesh  of  the  camel  was  forbidden  to  the 
Jews.  Its  milk  is  excellent.  The  hair  is  woven 
into  a coarse  black  cloth,  used  for  tents  (c/. 
of  Sol.  1.  5).  With  this  material  John  the  Bap-

CANAANITES  [ea'naan-ites].  Canaan  (“the  low- 
lands”) denoted  first  the  sea-coast,  afterwards 
the  whole  of  Palestine.  The  Canaanites  were 
Semites,  and  Phoenician  inscriptions  and  Tel  el- 
Amarna  tablets  show  that  “the  language  of 
Canaan  ” (Isa.  19. 18)  was  nearly  identical  with 
Hebrew.  . , , 

In  Genesis  10,  Canaan  is  the  brother  of  Miz- 
raim,  or  Egypt,  and  belongs  to  the  family  of 
Ham,  Canaan  having  been,  from  the 
eighteenth  Egyptian  dynasty  to  the 
period  of  the  Exodus,  an  Egyptian 
province. 

The  Canaanites  were  famous  as  mer- 
chants and  seamen,  as  well  as  for  their 
artistic  skill.  The  chief  objects  of  their 
worship  were  Baal  {q.v.),  and  Ashtart,  or 
Ashtoreth  {q.v.).  [See  PHa<:xuciA.] 
CANDLESTICK  [can  dle-stlck  ],  GOLD- 
EN [gold'en].  [See  Tabernacle.] 

CANE  [cane],  Sweet,  same  as  the  cala- 
mus {q.v.). 

CANKERWORM  [ean'ker-worm'].  [See 
Locust. 1 

CANON  [can 'on].  The  whole  collection 
of  books  contained  in  the  Bible  is  usually  ^ 
spoken  of  as  the  Canon,  or  ('anonical 
Scripture,  any  single  book  being  said  to 
be  in  the  Canon  or  Canonical.  We  S])eak 

alsoof  the  Canonical  Books,  or  the  ('anon, 

of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  respectively.  It 
is  not,  however,  till  the  time  of  Origen,  in  the 
third  century  of  the  Christian  era,  that  we  find 
Scripture  spoken  of  in  such  terms. 

The  word  Canon  means  a “ reed”  or  “ /od,  a 
measuring  rod,  hence  an  established  rule.  Be- 
fore Origen’s  time,  the  truth  recognized  by  the 
church  had  come  to  be  spoken  of  as  the  canon  or 
test  of  doctrine,  and  the  books  that  wei;e  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  traditional  rule  of  faith,  and 
embodied  it,  were  therefore  said  by  Origen  to  be 
canonized  or  canonical.  But,  since  the  Scrip- 
tures themselves  contain  in  written  form  this 
standard  of  faith,  they  themselves  came  to  be 
spoken  of,  in  an  active  sense,  as  the  Canon,  or 
rule  by  which  other  books  or  statements  might 

This  twofold  use  of  the  terms  canon  and  ca- 
nonical thus  implies  on  the  one  hand  (1)  that  each 


individual  book  of  Scripture  comes  up  to  or 
agrees  with  a certain  standard,  and  on  the  other 
(2)  that  the  whole  collectively  form  a standard 
or  measure  of  truth. 

CAPHTOR  [caph'tor],  the  original  home  of  the 
Philistines  (Amos  9.  7;  Jer.  47.  4;  Deut.  2. 23;  the 
clause  in  Gen.  10. 14  is  misplaced).  The  name  is 
found  written  in  hieroglyphics  in  the  temple  of 
Kom  Ombo,  in  Upper  Egypt,  which  was  built  by 
the  Ptolemies,  and  excavated  in  1892.  Caphtor 
is  supposed  to  be  Crete. 

CAPTIVITY.  [See  Babylonian  Captivity.] 

CARBUNCLE  [car'bfln-ele].  This  word  occurs 
thrice  in  the  Old  Testament  {A.  V.)  as  a transla- 
tion of  different  Hebrew  words.  What  these 
mean  is  uncertain,  but  the  carbuncle  properly  is 
a rich  red  variety  of  the  garnet ; the  term,  how- 
ever, in  early  times  included  the  ruby.  In  Ex. 
28.17.  the  words  “carbuncle”  and  “emerald” 
should  be  transposed. 

CARCHEMISH  [car'ehe-mish]  — “ fort  of  Che- 
mosh”— (2  Chr.  35.20;  Isa.  10.  9),  a celebrated 
town  of  the  Hittites  (q.v.),  at  the  chief  ferry 
from  Haran  to  Syria.  It  is  mentioned  on  monu- 
ments in  1600  B.C.,  and  down  to  717  b.c.  Now  the 
ruin  Jerablus  (Hierapolis).  Important  Hittite 
remains  have  here  been  discovered. 

CARMEL  [eiir'mel]  (“garden”  or  “park”),  a 
ridge  running  fifteen  miles  northwest  from  the 
plain  of  Esdraelon,  and  ending  in  the  promon- 
tory that  forms  the  bay  of  Acre ; greatest  height, 
1,728  feet. 

CAROB-TREE  [ear’5b-tree]  (Luke  15.16,  R.V. 
margin),  a leguminous  tree,  native  of  the  Levant. 
The  “ husks”  Avere  its  pods,  which  some  take  to 
have  been  also  the  “ locusts  ” of  Mat.  3. 4,  whence 
they  have  been  named  locust  2>ods  and  Si.  John's 
bread.  , ^ 

CART  [cart].  Goods  were  transported  for  the 
most  part  on  the  backs  of  men  or  of  animals ; 
but  a cart,  probably  with  two  solid  wheels,  was 
also  in  use  for  carrying  corn  or  other  produce 
(Amos  2.  13).

coarser  kind  of  cinnamon  (g.u.).  Here  the  R.  l . 
(margin)  suggests  costus,  an  Indian  plant  with 
an  aromatic  root.  The  cassia  of  Ps.  45.  8 repre- 
sents another  Hebrew  word,  but  probably  refers 
to  the  same  plant.  . , , • .ui. 

CAT  [eat].  The  cat  is  mentioned  only  in  the 
Apocryphal  Book  of  Baruch  (ch.  6.  22),  in  con- 
nection with  the  idols  of  Babylon.  The  cat  was 
domesticated  in  Egypt  thirteen  centuries  before 
Christ.  It  was  there  a sacred  animal,  and  thou- 
sands of  mummied  cats  have  been  found. 

CATERPILLAR  [eat'er-pll'lar].  [See  Locust.] 

CATTLE  [cat 'tie].  Horned  cattle  were  early 
domesticated  (Gen.  4.  20).  History  gives  no 
glimpse  of  a time  when  the  ox  Avas  not  the  ser- 
vant of  man,  while  everywhere  in  the  Old  World 
feral  horned  cattle  exist,  or  have  existed,  to 
recent  times.  [See  Unicorn.]

The  ox  was  used  by  the  Jews  for  ploughing, 
treading  out  the  corn  in  threshing,  an<l  for 
draught,  and  was  only  killed  for  sacrittces  and 
for  great  feasts.  Cows’  milk  was  used,  both 
fresh  and  slightly  curdled,  and  also  churned  into 
butter,  or  in  the  form  of  curds,  often  called  “but- 
ter ” in  Scripture.  In  the  Jordan  valley  the  Ind- 
ian buffalo  has  been  introduced,  probably  from 
Persia,  in  post-Exilian  times. 

CEDAR  [<?e'dar]  of  Lebanon  grows  also  on  the 
Taurus  and  Atlas  Mountains.  It  was  the  king 
of  trees  (1  Kings  4.  33),  the  symbol  of  grandeur, 
might,  loftiness,  and  ever-increasing  expansion. 
Its  wood  was  used  in  the  successive  temples  at 
Jerusalem  and  in  the  palace  of  Nebuchadrezzar.

CHALDEA  [ehal-de'a],  the  i)lain  of  Babylon, 
or  Lower  Mesopotamia;  once  a very  fertile  land, 
now  a barren,  sandy  desert.  One‘ of  its  great

CHARIOT  [char'i-otj  (Oen.  41.  43).  The  Israel- 
ites were  familiar  with  chariots,  as  used  bv 
their  enemies  (Egyptians,  Ex.  14.  25;  Canaan-

(1  Kings  10.  2G)  introduced  both  chariots  and 
horses  in  ever-increasii^g  numbers.  They  were 
two-wheeled  vehicles,  curved  in  front  anil  open 
behind,  in  which  two  men  could  ride,  one  of 
whom  drove  (1  Kings  22  . 34),  while  the  other 
fought  with  bow  or  spear.

associated  in  Scripture  Avith  the  throne  or 
chariot  of  .Jehovah  (Ps.  18.  10;  80.  1;  99.  1).  In 
Uen.  3.  24  cherubim  aiipear  as  the  guardians  of 
the  apiiroach  to  the  tree  of  life.  Two  cherubim 
were  placed  on  the  mercy-seat  or  covering  of  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  in  the  Tabernacle  and  in  the 
Temple,  and  figures  reiiresenting  cherubim  were 
wrought  into  tlie  hangings  of  the  Holy  of  Holies. 
In  Ezekiel’s  description  (ch.  1 and  l('t ; 41.  18,19) 
they  have  a human  body,  with  a head  jiresenting 
the  faces  of  a man,  a lion,  an  ox,  and  an  eagle, 
four  hanils,  and  four  wings ; the  whole  body  of  the 
cherubim  and  the  wheels  of  the  chariot  being 
furnished  with  innumerable  eyes.  In  Revelation 
the  four  faces  of  the  cherubim  are  distributed 
among  the  four  “ living  creatures  ” that  sur- 
rounathe  throne  of  God.  [See  Gospels.] 


CHESTNUT-TREE  [chest ’nut-tree]  (Gen.  30. 
37 ; Ezek.  31.  8;  11.  F.  plane-tree).  It  is  a tall  and 
majestic  tree,  growing  near  water  in  Palestine. 
From  the  globular  form  of  the  flowers  and 
fruits  it  is  often  called  button-tree. 

CHITTIM  [chft'tim]  (also  Kittini,  Gen.  10.  4) 
is  Greek  Kition,  the  Phoenician  i»ort  of  (’yprus; 
the  modern  Larnaka.  Hence  (’hittim  is  lised  in

his  preoccupation  with  the  fortunes  of  the 
house  of  David  and  the  kingdom  of  Judah,  are 
marked  features  of  the  work,  which  runs  paral-

sources.

are  those  fixed  hy  Archbishop  Ussher  (1650),  and 
were  first  inserted  in  the  Bible  in  1701.  Modern 
investigations  and  recent  discoveries  of  Egyp- 
tian, Babylonian,  and  Assyrian  records  have  led 

to  some  important  modifications. 

The  Royal  Canon  of  Ptolemy  (Claudius  Ptole- 
mseus,  Egvptian  mathematician  and  astronomer 
of  the  second  century  a.d.)  contains  a list,  with 
the  length  of  reign,  of  eighteen  kings  of  Babylon, 
from  Nabonassar,  747  B.c.;  of  Persian  kings, 
from  Cyrus  to  the  last  Darius ; of  Alexander  and 
his  two* successors ; of  the  Egyptian  kings  (1  tole- 
mies)  to  Cleopatra;  and  of  the  Rpman  emperprs 
to  Antoninus  Pius  (140  a.d.).  This  Canon  is  in- 
valuable for  the  comparison  of  the  sacred  and 
profane  chronologies.  . 

The  Assyrian  Eponym  Canon  centains  a four- 
fold chronological  record  of  that  empire,  under 
the  names  of  officers  annually  appointed,  from 
893  to  659  B.c.  The  dates  in  this  list  are  fixed  by 
the  solar  eclipse  of  June  15,  763  b.c.,  possibly  re- 
ferred to  in  Amos  8.  9.  [See  George  Smith  s 
Assyrian  Eponym  Canon:  Bagster,  1863.] 

Periods.  The  history  of  the  Old  Testament 
may  be  divided  into  six  grand  periods : — 

I.  From  Adam  to  the  Deluge. 

II.  From  the  Deluge  to  Abraham’s  entrance 

into  Canaan.  . ^ i 

III.  From  Abraham’s  migration  to  the  Exodus 

IV.  From  the  Exodus  to  the  Hebrew  Mon- 

^'^V/'i’he  Hebrew  Monarchy  {a)  undivided, 
(5)  divided,  (c)  the  Jewish  Kingdom  alone. 

VI.  From  the  Fall  of  the  Monarchy  to  the 
Advent  of  Christ;  including  {a)  the  Babylonian 
supremacy,  (5)  the  Persian  period,  (c)  the  ‘‘  Gre- 
cian ” or  Macedonian  in  its  two  divisions,  Syrian 
and  Egyptian,  (d)  the  period  from  the  Maccabean 
to  the  Roman  rule. 

Data.  For  the  first  and  second  of  these 
periods  there  are  no  chronological  data  outside 
Scripture ; for,  although  in  the  second  there  are 
occasional  records  from  other  sources  (as  the 
Egvptian  and  Babylonian  traditions  of  enormpiis 
lapses  of  time),  tliese  possess  no  real  authority. 
The  Bible  testimony  has  come  down  to  us  in  a 
threefold  shape ; (1)  the  Hebrew  original,  as  ed- 
ited by  the  Massoretes  {q.v.) ; (2)  the  Septuagmt 
iq.v.)\  and  (3)  the  Samaritan  Pentateuch  (r/.v.). 
The  testimony  of  the  Jewish  historian  Josephus 
must  also  be  taken  into  account.  The  end  of  the 
third  period  and  the  beginning  of  the  lOiirth 
connect  themselves  with  the  history  of  Egypt  ; 
the  fifth  is  marked  by  various  synchronisms  with 
the  annals  of  Egypt,  Assyria,  and  Chaldea;  while 
the  sixth  stands  in  the  clear  light  of  history. 

The  Received  Chronology.  The  dates  b.c. 
of  these  periods,  according  to  the  “received” 
chronology,  are  shown  in  the  following  table ; 


But,  from  the  uncertainties  connected  with 
every  period  except  the  last,  it  is  impossible  to 
assign  the  date,  even  approximately,  of  the  ap- 
pearance of  man  upon  the  earth.  No  fewer  than 
140  different  dates  for  “ the  Creation  ” have  been 
assigned  bv  chronologers,  from  the  Jewish  com- 
putation (the  shortest)  of  3,483  years  before  the 
Christian  era,  to  the  estimate  made  by  direction 
of  Alphonso  of  Castile,  6,984  years.  It  is  plain 
from  such  comparison  that  the  problem  is  in- 
soluble. The  general  acquiescence  in  the  view 
that  our  Lord  came  exactly  4,000  years  after 
Adam  was  no  doubt  partly  due  to  the  theory 
mentioned  in  the  Epistle  of  Barnabas,  that  the 
Avorld  is  to  have  its  sabbatic  period  — 2,000  years 
before  the  Promises,  2,000  more  until  the  era  of 
Redemption,  2,000  for  the  Christian  period  — and 
then  the  millennium  of  rest.  But  it  is  plain  that  no 
real  argument  can  be  based  on  fancies  like  this. 

First  Period.  — The  earliest  chronological  state- 
ment in  Genesis  is  a genealogy  — ^ the  book  of 
the  generations  of  Adain  ” (ch.  5).  The  following 
table  gives  a comparative  view  of  the  successive 
generations,  as  set  forth  in  the  Hebrew,  the 
LXX.,  and  the  Samaritan  texts  respectively, 
with  the  statement  of  Josephus  appended.  The 
estimate  is  formed  by  adding  together  the  dura- 
tion of  the  several  lives  up  to  the  birth  of  the 
eldest  sons.  The  computations  give  the  year 
after  “ the  Creation : ” the  date  of  the  Deluge  b.o 
has  been  very  variously  given  by  chronologers.

Second  Period. —The  following  table  exhibits, 
according  to  the  different  authorities,  the  second 
genealogy  in  Genesis:  the  “book  of  the  genera- 
tions of  Shem”  (eh.  11),  to  the  time  of  the 
entrance  of  Abraham  iitfo  Canaan.  The  chrono- 
logical annals  of  this  period,  could  they  be  satis- 
factorily obtained,  would  be  among  the  most 
interesting  and  important  of  the  series,  com- 
prising as  they  do  the  repeopling  of  the  world, 
the  dispersion  of  the  nations,  and  the  founding 
and  progress  of  the  great  ancient  empires, 
“Asshur,”  “Babel,”  and  “Mizraim.  The  data 
are  in  Genesis  10,  11.  For  the  early  Chaldsan 
history  the  fragments  of  Berosus  are  valuable, 
notwithstanding  enormous  exaggeration  in  the

Chronology 


Here  the  discrepancy  is  great;  and  while,  in 
comparison  of  the  different  accounts,  the  re- 
marks under  the  former  head  will  in  some  meas- 
ure apply,  another  consideration  comes  in  with 
great  force.  This  second  period  includes  not 
only,  as  already  noted,  the  dispersion  of  nations, 
and  the  growth  of  great  empires,  but  also  the 
spread  and  prevalence  of  idolatry.  This  last 
fact  is  difficult,  almost  impossible,  to  account  for 
on  the  Hebrew  data.  For,  according  to  these, 
Shem,  Arphaxad,  Salah,  and  Heber  were  all  liv- 
ing in  the  days  of  Abraham ; and  it  appears 
incredible  that  these  patriarchs  should  have 
survived  to  this  time  of  universal  apostasy.  On 
the  whole,  considering  wdiat  the  world  had  be- 
come, both  in  populousness  and  in  wickedness, 
we  can  far  more  easily  suppose  a lapse  of  thir- 
teen centuries  than  of  barely  four. 

The  Assyrian  records,  it  may  be  added,  make 
even  the  longer  chronology  appear  too  short  for 
the  events  comprised  within  the  period. 

The  periods  in  the  life  of  Abraham,  as  given  in 
the  above  table,  are  thus  estimated  : — From  Gen 
11.  26  It  would  appear  that  “ Terah  lived  seventv 
years,  and  begat  Abram,  Nahor,  and  Haran.”  But 
Abraham  was  evidently  not  the  eldest  of  the  three ; 
for  (Acts  7.  4)  he  departed  from  Haran  when  his 
father  died  at  the  age  of  205,  being  himself  75 
years  old  at  the  time  (Gen.  11.  32;  12.  4)  Abra- 
ham was  born,  therefore,  when  Terah  was  130 
The  time  of  removal  from  “ Ur  of  the  Chaldees  ” 
(11.  31)  is  not  specified;  the  duration  of  the  abode 
in  Haran  (or  “ Charran  ”),  the  intermediate  place 
of  residence,  is  likewise  unknown : the  migration 
from  Haran  to  the  Land  of  Promise  was  the  sig- 
nificant event,  and  has  well  been  called  “the 
beginning  of  ecclesiastical  history.” 

Third  Period. — Here  the  data  are  few  and  sim- 
ple; although  at  first  sight  there  is  a serious 
discrepancy  between  different  accounts  of  the 
last  part  of  the  period.  According  to  the  He- 
brew, Septuagint,  and  Samaritan  texts,  the  whole 
IS  divided  thus : —

4;io 

For  the  first  three  dates,  see  Gen.  21.  5;  ^>5  26 
47.  The  fourth  is  more  difficult.  The  Hebre^ 

111'  reads:  — “The  soiourning  of  th 

children  of  Israel,  which  they  dwelt  in  Egypt 
was  four  hundred  and  thirty  years ; ” the  Septua 
glut  and  Samaritan  add  to  “Egypt,”  and  in  th 
land  of  Canaayi,  thus  covering  the  whole  tini( 
from  Abraham’s  entering  the  land,  and  diminish 
ing  the  period  of  servitude  by  exactly  one-half 
Ihijj  reading  is  confirmed  by  the  apostle  Paul  (Cal 
3. 17),  where  the  giving  of  the  Law  is  referred  to  as 
having  been  “430  years  after”  Abraham.  Tin 
genealogies  bear  out  the  same  view.  See  Gen.  15 
16 : the  enslaveil  people  should  return  to  Canaai 
‘in  the  fourth  generation.”  Accordingly,  soim 
of  these  generations  are  given  in  the  hi*storv- 
Levi,  Kohath,  Amram,  Moses  (p]x.  6 
16-20).  Most  chronologers,  with  Ussher,  assigi 
the  430  years  to  the  whole  of  this  third  period 
and  not  simply  to  the  abode  of  Israel  in  Egypt. 

It  should  be  added  that  the  Egyptian  records 
themselves  up  to  this  period,  are  too  vague  t( 
allow  of  any  definite  synchronisms.  Most  mod- 
ern Egyptologists,  however,  are  agreed  in  con- 
necting the  oppression  of  the  Israelites  and  the 
Exodus  with  the  Nineteenth  Dynasty. 

Fourth  Period. —'Iliis  period  comprises,  first 
^he  desert- wandering  of  forty  years;  then  the 


administration  in  Canaan  of  Joshua  and  the  el- 
ders ; followed  by  the  long  period  of  the  Judges, 
and  the  government  by  Samuel,  until  the  designa- 
tion of  Saul  to  the  kingdom.  Its  length  has  been 
very  variously  stated,  according  to  the  interpre- 
tation of  the  notes  of  time  given  in  Judges. 

After  the  settlement  in  Canaan,  the  davs  of 
Joshua  are  set  down  by  Josephus  as  25  years 
\Ant.  Y \.  § 29].  The  days  of  “the  elders  that 
overlived  Joshua  ” (Josh.  24. 31)  are  quite  undeter- 
mined. Then  followed  a long  period  of  struggle 
with  surrounding  tribes  — oppressions  and  de- 
liverances, which,  according  to  the  first  view  of 
Judges,  seem  to  have  continued  through  410 
years,  according  to  the  following  table:  —

This  total  does  not  reckon  Eli  (who  was,  however, 
evidently  contemporary  with  the  Philistine  op- 
pression), or  Samuel  and  the  elders.”  But,  be- 
fore accepting  this  table,  two  points  must  be 
considered:  (1)  The  recurrence  of  the  number  ‘20 
and  its  multiples  seems  to  show  that  time  is  reck- 
oned in  round  numbers.  “Forty  years”  may 
stand  for  a generation.  (2)  The  periods  of  servi- 
tude, occurring  in  different  parts  of  the  country, 
may  have  been  partly  simultaneous.  That  tile 
apostle  Paul  seems  to  specify  the  period  of  the 
Judges  as  450  years  (Acts  13.  20)  presents  no  diffi- 
culty in  the  light'  of  criticism,  the  true  reading 
of  the  passage  (see  R.  V.)  being,  “He  gave  them 
their  land  for  an  inheritance,  for  about  four 
hundred  and  fifty  years:  and  after  these  things 
he  gave  them  judges  until  Samuel  the  prophet:  ” 
the  time  being  reckoned  from  the  birth  of  Isaac 
to  the  beginning  of  the  period  of  the  Judges,  and 
not,  therefore,  affecting  the  present  questions. 

A statement  in  1 Kings  6.  1,  if  accepted,  seems 
to  fix  with  precision  the  length  of  this  fourth 
period.  The  Temple,  we  read,  was  begun  in  the 
fourth  year  of  Solomon,  in  the  48()th  year  after 
the  Exodus.  The  LXX.  reads  “ the  440th,”  prob- 
ably omitting  the  forty  years’  wandering,  so 
virtually  coinciding  with  the  Hebrew.  Now, 
deducting  the  three  years  already  past  of  Solo- 
mon’s reign,  the  forty  years  of  David  (2  Sam.  5.  4; 

1 Kings  2. 11 ; 1 Chr.  ‘29.  27),  and  the  forty  years  of 
Saul  (Acts  13.  21),  we  have  357  years  as  the  total 
length  of  the  period.  Take  away,  again,  ‘25  years 
for  Joshua,  and  the  result  gives  332  years  as  the 
time  of  the  Judges,  including  that  of  “the  el- 
ders,” also  the  administration  of  Eli  (probably  in 
l»art  contemporaneous  with  the  Philistine  op- 
])ression),  and  that  of  Samuel  up  to  the  anointing 
of  Saul.  This,  perhaps,  is  as  accurate  an  ap- 
proximation as  can  be  obtained. 

Fifth  Period.— The  Hebrew  monarchy  began 
with  the  accession  of  Saul,  and  ended  with  the 
fall  of  Jerusalem.  The  date  of  the  latter  event  is 
definitely  fixed  by  many  concurrent  testimonies 
as  not  earlier  than  .588  nor  later  than  .586  i{.<'., 
“the  nineteenth  year  of  Nebuchadrezzar”;  that 
of  the  former  is  more  uncertain. 

In  attemi)ting  to  form  a .self-consistent  chro- 
nology of  this  period,  it  must  be  jjremised  that 
the  Hebrew  often  reckons  a i)art  of  a year  as  a 
whole.  Thus,  if  the  new  year  falls  only  a few  days

The  Undivided  Monarchy.  ! 

Saul  (Acts  13.  21)  reigned  40  years;  Josephiis

(From  a Photograph.) 


.Sargon  of  Assyria,  722-721  b.c.,  and  that  of  Jeru- 
salem in  the  nineteenth  year  of  Nebuchadrezzar 
of  Babylon,  587-586  B.c.:  the  interval,  134  years, 
precisely  coincides  with  the  Bible  history.  A 
backward  reckoning  will  enable  us  to  assign 
dates  to  the  Hebrew  monarchies  up  to  the  dis- 
ruption. Important  confirmation  is  also  obtained 
from  the  record  of  the  invasion  by  Shishak  (Sha- 
shanq.I.,  first  king  of  the  Twenty-second  Dynasty) 
in  the  days  of  Rehoboam.  The  Egyptian  monarch 
inad6  an  exp6(lition  against  Judah,  and  captui6d 
Jerusalem  in  the  fifth  year  of  Rehoboam’s  reign. 
An  inscription  on  the  walls  of  the  temple  at 
Karnak  records  this  campaign,  with  the  namp 
of  many  conquered  towns  and  districts  of  Judah. 
The  inscription  is  dated  the  twenty-first  year  of 
Shashanq,  so  that  the  invasion  may  be  assigned 
to  the  twentieth,  or  perhaps  a little  earlier. 
The  date  of  Shashanq’s  accession  is  uncertain: 
Brugsch  gives  it  as  966  B.c.,  which  would  make 
the  invasion  to  be  about  947  B.c. ; and  this  being 
also  the  fifth  year  of  Rehoboam,  the  beginning  of 
his  reign  would  thus  be  about  952.  But  Professor 
Sayce  gives  cir.  925  as  the  date  of  invasion,  mak- 
ing Rehoboam’s  accession  cir.  930;  or  perhaps 
940-930  — a change  involving  alteration  in  the 
whole  scheme.

Chronology 


The  following  tables  contain  in  the  first  column 
the  “ received  chronology,”  and  in  the  second  the 
suggested  revision  of  dates.  The  last,  or  right- 
hand,  column,  headed  K.,  contains  the  leading 
dates  assigned  by  Dr.  Adolf  Kamphausen  (Die 
Vhronologie  dev  Hebrdisehen  Koriige:  Bonn, 
1883),  a very  able  attempt  to  bring  the  Hebrew 
chronology  into  accord  with  itself  and  with  the 


monuments.  It  has  been  found  impossible,  how- 
ever, to  acquiesce  in  all  his  conclusions.  The 
table  prefixed  to  the  first  volume  of  Dr.  George 
Adam  Smith’s  Book  of  the  Twelve  Fro2)hets  may 
also  be  consulted  with  advantage.  It  must  be 
understood  that  the  dates  in  the  earlier  portions 
of  the  table  are  approximate  only:  cir.  = circa, 
“ about.”

CHRONOLOGY  OF  THE  NEW  TESTAMENT. 
The  date  of  the  birth  of  Jesus  ChrisG 
tral  event  in  the  world’s  history,  was  first  fixed, 
in  the  sixth  century  a.d.,  by  Dionysius  Exiguus, 
a Roman  monk,  in  the  year  753  af  ter  the  biiiMing 
of  Rome  (a.u.c..  Anno  urbis  conditce).  uhat  this 
was  not  the  exact  year  of  our  Lord  s birth  has 
been  abundantly  proved ; but  the  use  of  the  date 
all  over  Christendom  is  too  firmly  established  to 
be  changed.  It  is  certain  from  St.  Matthew  that 
our  Lord  was  born  before  the  death  of  Herod  the 
Great  (spring  of  750  A.u.c.).  The  Nativity  can 
scarcely  be  placed  later  than  the  autumii  ot  <4J 
A.u.c.  (b.c.  5-4).  For  the  date  December  2o, 
there  is  no  direct  evidence  whatever. 

Synchronisms  with  Roman  History. 

1.  Cyrenius  (Quirinus),  legate  of  Syria  (Luke  2. 
2)  He  was  appointed  when  Archelaus  was  de- 
posed (6  A.D.),  to  carry  out  the  census.  Rut  it 
has  been  shown  by  Dr.  A.  W.  Zumpt  that  Quiii- 
niis  was  in  all  lirobability  twice  governor  of 

Syria,  the  first  time  in  753  A.u.c.  ^ 

2.  The  fifteenth  vear  of  Tiberius  (Luke  o.  1). 

This  must  be  reckoned  from  the  time  when  he 
ivas  associated  with  Augustus  in  the  government 
(765  A.u.c.),  and  gives  780  A.u.c.,  or  A.D.  for 
John’s  ministry.  , . . _ 

3.  The  forty-sixth  year  from  the  beginnin,.,  ot

CHRYSOLITE  [ehrys'o-llte]  (Gr.  chrysolithus). 
Properly  this  is  a greenish-yellow  gem,  a variety 
of  olivine  (a  ferromagnesian  silicate),  which  is 
obtained  in  a district  of  Egypt;  but  in  early 
times  the  name  was  usually  applied  to  the 
Oriental  topaz,  a yellow  variety  of  corundum. 
[See  Aoam.ant.] 

CHRYSOPRASE  [ehrys'o-prase]  (Gr.  cliryso- 
prasos).  An  apple-green  variety  of  chalcedony 
iq.v.),  but  the  name  probably  denotes  some  other 
greenish  stone.  As  the  turquoise,  an  opaque, 
rather  pale  green  or  blue  stone,  is  found  in  the 
neighbourhood  of  Sinai,  this  may  have  been 
known  to  the  Jews. 

CHURCH  [church],  the  translation  in  the  J.  V.

1.  An  ordinary  public  meeting  (Acts  19.  32, 
39,41). 

2.  The  congregation  of  the  Israelites  under  the 
Old  Testament  (Acts  7.  38). 

3.  A meeting  of  Christians  for  worshii)  (1  Cor. 
11.  17 ; 14.  19,  34,  35). 

4.  The  company  of  Christians  associated  for 
the  worship  and  service  of  God  in  a particular 
locality  or  region  (Acts  5.  11 ; 8.  3,  etc.). 

5.  The  whole  body  of  Christians  throughout 
the  world  (1  Cor.  15.  9;  Gal.  1.  13 ; Mat.  IG.  18). 

6.  In  the  widest  sense,  the  whole  body  of  the

south-west  Phrygia,  on 
the  river  Lycus,  and  on 
the  great  trade  route  to 
the  East.  In  the  fifth 
century  b.c.  great  and 
prosperous,  it  was  grad- 
ually dwarfed  by  Lao- 
dicea,  ten  miles  down 
the  river.  The  church  at 
Colossaj  was  known  to 
St.  Paul  only  by  report, 
and  was  probably  founded  by  his  “beloved  fel- 
low-servant” Epaphras.  The  epistle  was  occa- 
sioned (G1  B.c.)  by  the  appearance  at  Colossae  oi 
teachers  who  sought  to  engraft  upon  Christianity 
a kind  of  Jewish  “ philosophy,”  and  to  bring  the 
converts  under  the  bondage  of  angel-worship 
and  an  external  asceticism. 

COMFORTER  [c6m'f6rt-er],  a title  of  the  Holy 
Spirit  which  occurs  four  times  in  John  s 
Gospel,  li.  V.  margin  gives  “Advocate  or 

Commandments  [eSm-mand’ments],  Ten, 
or  “Ten  Words”  (Gr.  “ Decalogue ”),  as  tbey 
are  called  in  Ex.  34.  28,  are  given  in  Ex.  20. 1- 
17  (where  they  are  prefixed  to  the  book  or 
the  covenant,”  Ex.  20.  22-23.),  and  also  in 
Deut.  5.  1-21.  The  ten  commandments  were 
written  on  two  tables  of  stone,  called  “tb® 
of  the  covenant  ” (Deut.  9.  9,  11 ; Heb.  9-  4), 
and  “ the  testimony  ” (Ex.  25. 16,  etc.).  In  Ex. 
20.  11  the  ground  for  the  fourth  command- 
ment is  stated  to  be  the  Divine  rest  after  the 
work  of  creation;  while  Deut.  5.  14,  15, 
ting  this,  announces  the  Divine  purpose  of  the 
Sabbath,  in  order  “ that  thy  man-servant  and 
thy  maid-servant  may  rest  as  well  as  thou.  And 
reinember  that  thou  wast  a servant  in  the  land 
of  Egypt,  and  that  the  Lord  thy  God  brought  thee 
out  thence  through  a mighty  hand  and  by  a 
stretched  out  arm.”  The  Jews  count  the  prefa- 
tory words  in  Ex.  20.  2 (Deut.  5.  6)  as  being  the 
first  of  the  ten  commandments,  and  then  com- 
bine the  first  and  second  to  form  one  command- 
ment. The  Roman  Catholics  and  Lutherans 
combine  the  first  and  second,  and  divide  the 
tenth  into  two.  , , , 

CONEY  [eo'ney]  (Heb.  “the  hider”),  an  animal 
forbidden  as  food  by  the  Law.  Not  unlike  the 
rabbit  in  size  and  in  habits,  it  has  no  con- 
nection with  it.  Its  habit  of  dwelling  in  the 
rocks  for  security,  and  its  helpless,  defenceless 


nature,  are  referred  to  in  Ps.  104.  18  and  Prov. 
30.  26. 

COPPER  [eop'pfer]  (Heb.  necosheth,  Gr.  chal- 
cos\.  The  word  in  the  A.V.  is  generally  trans- 
lated “brass,”  but  that  it  means  this  material  (a 
compound  of  copper  and  zinc)  is  most  improba- 
ble. In  some  cases,  where  hardness  was  not 
important,  it  may  have  signified  copper;  in 
others  no  doubt  it  was  the  alloy  called  bronze 
(about  one  part  of  tin  to  nine  of  copper).  Bronze 
has  been  known  from  a remote  antiquity , and 
was  employed  before  the  art  of  working  in  iron 
was  discovered,  for  purposes  offensive  and  de- 
fensive, ornamental  and  domestic;  in  fact,  it 
took  the  place  held  by  iron  at  the  present  day. 
Palestine  is  not  a metalliferous  country,  but  ores 
of  copper  occur  in  Sinai,  and  the  mines  (about 
Wady  Igne  and  Wady  Sarabit)  were  for  long 
worked  by  the  Egyptians. 

CORAL  [cSr'al].  Twice  mentioned  in  the  Bible 
(Job  28.  18;  Ezek.  27. 16)  as  an  article  of  great 
value.  The  red  coral  of  commerce  ( ComlUum 


rubrum)  occurs  in  many  parts  of  the  Mediter- 
ranean with  a rocky  bottom,  and  is  obtained  by 
divers  or  bv  dredging.  It  consists  of  a hard, 
horny  stock,  irregularly 

grow  to  a height  of  one  foot,  and  to  the  thick- 
ness  of  the  little  finger  of  ^ man’s  hand.  This 
stock  is  firmly  attached  to  a rocj<.  -wm  if  tlm 
common  base  to  which  innumerable  small  ani- 
mals, of  the  structure  of  the  sea-anenione,  the 
polyps,  are  attached,  all  of  which  paiticipate  in 

the  forming  of  the  stock. 

CORBAN  [eor'ban]  (Mark  7.  11),  a Hebre\y  word 
which,  in  Lev.  2. 1,  is  translated  “ offering,  .R.  P. 
“oblation;”  hence  referring  to  any  m

Creation 


146  B.C.,  it  was  rebuilt  by  Julius  Caesar  in  46  b.o., 
and  peopled  by  a colony  of  veterans  and  others. 
Situated  on  the  isthmus  which  had  always 
formed  the  highway  of  commerce  between  Asia 
and  Italy,  it  became  the  metropolis  of  the  Roman 
province  of  Achaia,  and  the  meeting-place  of 
all  the  social  forces  of  the  age,  and  of  all  the 
licentiousness  that  had  been  the  shame  or  the  re- 
ligion of  other  lands. 

CORINTHIANS  [eo-rin'thl-ans],  the  First  and 
Second  Epistles  to  the,  were  written  by  St. 
I’aul  to  the  church  he  founded  during  his 
stay  at  Corinth  in  52-54  a.d.  He  was  succeeded 
at  Corinth  by  Apollos,  who  continued  his  work. 
Judaizing  tendencies  appeared  here  as  else- 
where, and  the  church  became  divided  into  four 
parties  (1  Cor.  1. 12).  To  correct  these  and  other 
disorders,  and  in  reply  to  certain  questions 
which  the  church  had  asked  of  him  bv  letter, 
St.  Paul  wrote  the  first  epistle  from  Ephesus  in 
the  autumn  of  55  a.d. 

Learning  from  Titus  in  Macedonia  in  the  au- 
tumn of  the  year  56  a.d.  that  his  first  epistle 
had  had  on  the  whole  the  effect  he  desired, 
but  that  a minority,  influenced  by  schismatic 
teachers,  opposed  his  influence  and  depreciated 
his  apostolic  authority,  St.  Paul  wrote  his  second 
epistle,  in  which  he  pours  forth  all  the  love  of 
his  heart  for  his  converts  and  his  righteous  in- 
dignation against  his  adversaries.  These  two 
epistles,  more  than  any  others,  reveal  to  us 
the  personality  of  their  writer,  and  also  the 
inner  life  of  a great  Christian  congregation  in 
the  apostolic  age. 

CORN  [corn]  (i?.  V.  [Amer.]  suggests  (/rain  in

COVENANT  [eov'g-nant].  The  religion  of  Is-

that  people.  God  founded  the  covenant  by  His 
promise,  and  His  people’s  part  in  it  was  the  ful- 
filment of  the  divine  command.  Entrance  into 
It  was  marked  by  the  sign  of  circumcision.  A 
New  Covenant  was  promised  by  the  prophets 
(Jer.  31.  31);  and  this  is  established  in  Christ 
(Mat.  26.  28;  1 Cor.  11.  25;  Heb.  8.  7 ff.).  [See

Coverdale  was  less  scholarly  than  Tindale.  But  he 
achieved  one  remarkable  literary  feat.  To  this

Coverdale  translated  them  for  his  1535  Bible. 

CREATION  [ere-a'tion],  Cuneiform  tablets 
have  been  discovered  which  give  the  different 
accounts  of  the  creation  current  in  Babylonia. 
One  of  them,  in  the  form  of  a long  poem, 
resembles  in  many  respects  the  account  in 
the  first  chapter  of  Genesis.  It  commences 
with  the  statement  that  “in  the  beginning” 
all  was  chaos  of  waters.  Then  the  Upper 
and  Lower  Firmaments  were  created,  and  the 
gods  came  into  existence.  After  that  comes

Merodach  and  the  “Dragon’^  of  chaos,  “the

anarchy  and  darkness.  It  ended  in  the  victory 
of  the  god  of  light,  who  thereupon  created  the 


present  world  by  the  power  of  his  “ word.”  The

Crete 


BIBLE  DICTIONARY. 


Daniel 


CRETE  [Crete],  an  island  in  the  Mediter- 
ranean, 60  miles  south  of  Greece.  St.  Paul 
touched  at  Crete  on  his  voyage  to  Italy  (Acts  27. 

7,  8),  and  appears  to  have  visited  it  at  another 
time  (Tit.  1.  5).  The  Cretans  were  proverbially 
untrustworthy ; the  testimony  of  the  Cretan  poet 
Epimenides  (600  b.c.)  is  quoted  in  Titus  1. 12. 
CRICKET  [erlck'et].  [See  Beetle.] 

CRIMSON  [crim’son].  Scarlet.  The  Israelites 
obtained  this  highly-prized  dye  from  an  insect 
(similar  to  the  cochineal  insect)  found  on  the 
holm-oak. 

CROSS  [cross]  (Mark  15.  21,  etc.).  The  cross  as 
a means  of  inflicting  death  in  the  most  cruel  and 
shameful  way  was  used  by  the  Phoenicians,  from 
whom  it  passed  to  the  Greeks  and  the  Romans. 

It  consisted  of  two  beams  of  wood  nailed  one  to 
the  other  in  the  form  of  X,  or  T,  or  +.  The  last, 
which  is  most  familiar  to  us  in  art,  was  in  all 
probabilitv  the  shape  of  Christ’s  cross.  _ 

CUCUMBER  [cu'cum-ber],  long  cultivated  in 
Syria  and  Egvpt  (Num.  11.  5).  The  watcher  of  the 
fruit  (against  jackals)  occupies  a “ lodge  ” (Isa.  1. 

8)  or  “ booth  (Job  27. 18).  ^ 

CUMMIN  [euin'mln]  (Isa.  28.  25,  27;  Mat.  23.23), 
the  aromatic  fruit  of  an  umbelliferous  plant, 
used  as  a condiment. 

CURSE  [curse].  In  the  ancient  warfare  of  the 
Israelites,  as  of  the  neighboring  nations,  the 
enemy  and  all  his  belongings  were  placed  under  a 
ban  or  curse  (Deut.  2. 34 ; 3. 6 ; 7. 2, 25 ; 2 Kings  8. 12 ; 
15  16).  Thus  on  the  Moabite  stone  we  read,  “ I 
destroyed  all  the  people  of  the  city  to  delight  the 
eves  of  Chemosh  and  Moab ; ” and  cf.  2 Kings  19. 
li  margin  of  li.  V.  It  was  such  a ban,  or  sentence 
of  extermination,  that  Achan  (Josh.  7.  1)  and 
Saul  violated  (Deut.  25. 17-19 ; 1 Sam.  15. 

23),  and  through  that  violation  he  and 
all  his  were  included  under  it.  Ezra  10. 

8 is  an  early  instance  of  excommunica- 
tion from  the  congregation  (after- 
wards alluded  to  in  Mat.  18.  17 ; John  9. 

22-  12.  42;  16.2;  Luke  6.  22).  It  was 
most  probably  administered  by  the 
elders  of  the  congregation.  It  was 
either  temporary  or  permanent.  To 
this  curse  or  permanent  ban  corre- 
sponds the  anathema  (q.i\)  of  the  apos- 
tolic church.  In  Gal.  3.  10  St.  Paul 
teaches  that  the  breakers  of  the  law 
are  under  a curse,  and  that  “ Christ 
redeemed  us  from  the  curse  of  the  law, 
having  become  a curse  for  us,”  and 
refers  to  Deut.  21.  23. 

CUSH  [eush]  represents  in  the  Old 
Testament  (1)  the  Kassi  of  the  Baby- 
lonian inscriptions,  who  lived  in  the 
mountains  of  Elam  [see  Babylonia]  ; 

(2)  the  Kas  of  the  Egyptian  monu- 
ments, Ethiopia,  or  the  Soudan  [see 
Egypt]. 

CYMBALS  [9ym'bals].  [See  Music.] 

CYPRESS  [9y'press]  (Isa.  44.  14),  a 
very  hard  evergreen  tree,  abundant  in 
Palestine.  The  Ji.  V.  here  gives  holm- 

^^CYPRUS  [cy'prus],  a large  island  in  the  Levant, 
60  miles  from  the  coast  of  Syria ; once  a centre 
of  commercial  activity.  It  was  the  scene  of  St. 
Paul’s  earliest  missionary  labors  (Acts  13.  ^13), 
alone:  'with.  Barnabas  and  John  Mark,  who  after- 
wards  visited  it  (Acts  15.  39).  [See  Chittim.] 

CYRUS  [9y'rus].  [See  Babylonia  and  Isaiah.] 


DAMASCUS  [da-mas 'eus]  (Gen.  15.  2,  etc.), 
the  ancient  capital  of  Syria,  a city  of  sorne 
250,000  inhabitants.  Being  the  centre  of  trade 
between  Palestine  and  Chaldaea,  it  has  always 
been  important.  The  river  Barada  flows  from 
fountains  23  miles  from  Damasciis,  and  as  it 
nears  Damascus  has  seven  canals  drawn  oil 


from  it,  which  supply  water  to  all  the  fields 
and  gardens  of  the  city.  Two  of  these  are 
the  ancient  Abana  and  Pharpar.  Damascus 
is  noticed  on  monuments  as  early  as  1600  B.c. 


it  was  conquered  by  Solomon,  after  whose 
death  it  became  the  capital  of  a Syrian  (^n^ty. 
Its  king,  Rezin,  was  flnaUy  conquered  by  Tig- 
lath-pileser  of  Assyria  in  732  B.c.  It  wast^en 
bv  Alexander  the  Great  after  the  faU  of  Tyre. 
The  Romans  made  it  the  capital  of  Syria,  and 
the  early  Arab  khalifs  ruled  here  in  the  seventh 
and  eighth  centuries  a.d.  In  the  time  of  St.  Paul 
(2  Cor.  11,  32),  Aretas,  the  ruler  of  Damascus,  was 

a Nabathsean,  subject  to  Rome. 

DAN  [dan]  (Gen.  14. 14,  etc.),  the  north  limit  of 
Palestine,  near  the  sources  of  Jordan.  Under 
Jeroboam  it  became  an  idolatrous  centre,  where 
a calf  idol  was  worshipped.  ^ ^ • 

DANIEL  [dan’i-el]  (Heb.  “ judge  of  God,  i.e. 
one  who  judges  in  God’s  name)  is  mentioned  in 
Ezekiel  in  the  sixth  century  B.c.,  along  with  Is  oah 
and  Job,  as  an  exemplar  of  wisdom  and  right- 
eousness (Ezek.  14. 20,  and  28. 3).  The  book  which 
bears  his  name  states  that  during  the  Babylo- 
nian Captivity  he  held  a high  place  at  the  courp 
of  Nebuchadrezzar,  Darius,  and  Cyrus,  in  spite 
of  aU  the  plots  of  malignant  rivals.  It  is  written 
partly  in  Hebrew,  partly  in  Aramaic,  and  is 
placed  in  our  Bible,  as  in  the  LXX.  and  Vulgate, 
after  Ezekiel;  while  in  the  Hebrew  Canon  it 
appears  not  among  the  prophets,  but  among 
the  Hagiographa.  The  first  half  is  narrative, 
the  second  consists  of  apocalyptic  visions  of  the 
history  of  the  Babylonian,  Median,  Persian,  and 
Grecian  empires,  succeeded  by  the  kingdom  of 
“the  people  of  the  saints  of  the  Most  High.

DARNELL  [dar'ngll],  R.V.  margin,  Mat.  13.  25, 
for  “ tares.”  [See  Tares.] 

DAVID  [da'vid]  (Heb.  ” beloved  ”),  the  second 
and  greatest  king  over  Israel,  was  the  youngest 
son  of  Jesse,  and  was  born  at  Bethlehem,  where 
his  early  youth  was  spent  as  a shepherd.  While 
still  a stripling  he  slew  the  Philistine  giant 
Goliath,  and  was  admitted  to  the  court  and  ser- 
vice of  King  Saul,  whose  melancholv  he  soothed 
by  his  skilful  playing  on  the  harp.  Saul’s  daugh- 
ter Michal  became  his  wife,  and  Saul’s  son 
Jonathan  was  united  to  him  in  a lifelong  friend- 
ship. Fleeing  from  the  deadly  jealousy  of  Saul, 
he  first  escaped  to  thp  country  of  the  Philis- 
tines. Then,  gathering  at  the  cave  of  Adullam  a 
band  of  400  (afterwards  600)  men,  he  contrived 
to  avoid  Saul  by  moving  hither  and  thither  in 
the  south  country.  For  a year  and  four  months 
he  lived  at  Ziklag,  as  a vassal  of  the  king  of 
Gath.  After  the  death  of  Saul  and  Jonathan  at 
Gilboa,  David  reigned  over  Judah  at  Hebron  for 
seven  and  a half  years,  and  after  the  -death  of 
Saul’s  son  Ishbosheth  he  became  king  over  all 
Israel,  He  took  the  stronghold  Jebus,  on  the 
hill  of  Zion  (the  “city  of  David”),  from  the 
Jebusites,  and  built  a palace  there,  with  a tent 
beside  it,  in  which  the  ark  of  the  covenant  was 
placed  (2  Sam.  0),  until  a temple  should  be  built 
for  it  by  his  successor.  In  addition  to  his  old 
guard  of  600  (jibborim  (or  “ heroes  ”),  now  largely 
recruited  from  foreigners,  especially  “ Chere- 
thites  and  Pelethites  ” (most  probably  Cretans 
and  Philistines),  he  had,  according  to  Chronicles, 
288,000  fighting  men,  of  whom  24,000  were  under 
arms  each  month  in  the  year.  A few  years’  suc- 
cessful war  made  David  master  of  the  whole 
territory  from  the  Euphrates  to  the  Egyptian 
frontier  (2  Sam,  8).  In  the  latter  part  of  his 
reign  of  thirty-two  years  in  Jerusalem,  his 
favorite  son  Absalom  rebelled  against  him 
and  was  slain,  to  his  father’s  great  sorrow ; and 
Shortly  before  his  death  (which  has  been  vari- 
ously dated  1015,  980,  and  977  B.c.)  another  son, 
Adonijah,  attempted  by  means  of  a revolt  to 
frustrate  the  king’s  choice  of  Solomon  as  his 
successor. 

David,  while  he  was  the  hero  of  the  people, 
refused  to  lift  his  hand  against  “ the  Lord’s 
anointed,”  even  in  his  own  defence,  contenting 
himself  with  an  appeal  to  the  Divine  judgment. 


He  IS  contrasted  with  Saul  as  “ the  man  after 
God’s  own  heart.”  Hero’c  confidence  in  God 
sustained  him  in  all  the  difficulties  of  his  life 
and  of  his  reign.  “He  executed  judgment  and 
justice  unto  all  his  people,”  and  established  the 
monarchy  on  a sound  civil  and  religious  basis. 
The  greatest  stain  upon  his  character  was  his 
foul  wrong  done  to  Uriah,  followed  by  his  in- 
direct murder,  sins  of  which  he  bitterly  repented. 
The  last  song  of  “ the  sweet  psalmist  of  Israel” 
expresses  the  spirit  of  his  life  and  of  his  rule 
(2  Sam.  23.  1-7).  In  the  darkest  days  of  the 
nation’s  history  men  felt  that  the  promises  of 
God  could  only  be  fulfilled  under  another  David. 
The  memory  of  the  “sure  mercies  of  David” 
(2  Sam.  7.  12-16),  and  the  “ everlasting  covenant  ” 
God  made  with  him  (2  Sam.  23.  5),  quickened 
their  Messianic  hope  of  One  who  should  be  given 
“for  a witness  to  the  people,  a leader  and  com- 
mander to  the  people  ” (Isa.  55. 3, 4 ; rf.  Acts  13. 34) 

DAY  OF  ATONEMENT  [a-tone’ment].  [See 
Ato^tement,  Day  of.] 

DEACON  [dea'eon]  (Gr,  “ servant  ”),  in  the  New 
Testament,  the  name  of  a class  of  congregational 
office-bearers,  first  mentioned  about  63  a.d. 
(at  Philippi,  Phil.  1.  l).  St.  Paul  gives  their 
qualifications  in  1 Tim.  3.  8-13.  Their  work 
seems  to  have  chiefly  been  the  visiting  and 
relief  of  the  poor. 

Though  Irenajus,  about  150  a.d.,  calls  Stephen 
“ the  first  deacon,”  none  of  the  seven  named  in 
Acts  6.  5 are  called  deacons  in  the  New  Testa- 
ment. It  is  clear  that  their  office  and  qualifica- 
tions were  next  to  those  of  the  apostleship  (Acts 
6.  Z-,  cf.\  Tim.  3.  8-13),  and  that  at  least  Stephen 
and  Philip  were  specially  active  as  preachers 
and  evangelists  (Acts  21.  8).  The  early  church, 
regarding  Acts  6. 1-6  as  the  record  of  the  insti- 
tution of  the  order  of  deacons,  appointed  seven 
in  every  church,  and  assigned  to  them  the  special 
care  of  the  sick  and  of  the  poor. 

DEACONESSES  [dea'eon-ess-es],  women  spe- 
cially charged  with  the  care  of  the  poor  and  the 
sick  of  their  own  sex  (Rom.  16.  1,  3,  12 ; Phil.  4. 
2, 3).  Female  assistants  of  the  deacons  are  men- 
tioned in  1 Tim.  3.  11,  and  widows  who  devoted 
themselves  to  the  church’s  service  are  spoken  of 
as  being  “enrolled,”  and  constituting  a special 
class  (1  Tim.  5.  9, 10;  cf.  Titus  2.  3-5). 

DEAD  SEA  [dead  sea],  the  great  salt  lake  in  the 
south  of  Palestine,  into  which  the  Jordan  flows; 
called  in  the  Old  Testament  “ the  salt  sea”  (Gen. 


DraT)  Sea  {at  the.  north  end). 


14. 3),  “the  sea  of  the  plain”  (Deut.  3. 17),  “the  east 
.sea”  (Ezek.  47.  18),  and  “the  sea”  (Plzek.  47.  8); 
called  by  the  Arabs  “ the  sea  of  Lot,”  and  by  the 
Greeks  “ Asphaltites  ” or  “ sea  of  bitumen.”  It 
lies  16  miles  east  of  Jeru.salem,  and  is  53  miles 


long  and  about  10  broad.  It  has  no  outlet,  its 
level  being  maintained  by  rapid  evaporation. 
Its  water  <!ontains  twenty-six  per  cent,  of  salts, 
about  eight  times  as  much  as  that  of  the  ocean. 
Its  surface  is  1,292  feet  below  that  of  the  Medi-

Ridge  of  Sodom”)  on  the  southern  shore,  7 
miles  long  and  300  feet  high. 

DEBORAH  [deb'o-rah]  (”  bee  ”),  a heroine  of  the 
tribe  of  Naphtali,  who  as  a “ mother  in  Israel  ’ 
(Judg.  4. 4, 14 ; 5. 7)  administered  justice  on  Mount 
Ephraim,  and  was  numbered  among  the  judges. 
When  the  Canaanite  king  Jabin,  and  Sisera,  the 
leader  of  his  army,  oppressed  Israel,  she  sum- 
moned Barak  from  Kadesh  to  lead  10,000  men  of 
the  northern  tribes  to  a victorious  struggle  with 
the  enemy.  Her  glorious  song  of  victory  (Judg. 
5)  is  one  of  the  earliest  extant  productions  of 


Hebrew  poetry.  It  gives  God  the  glory,  and 
shows  in  a time  of  national  disirnion  a living 
faith  that  the  scattered  tribes  of  Israel  form  one 

^^DEC/dPoijsTde-eap  'o-lis]  (Mat.  4.  25 ; Mark  5, 
20;  7.  31),  a region  of  “ten  cities,”  allied  to 
each  other,  in  Bashan  and  Gilead,  and  including 
Beth-shean,  in  the  Jordan  valley. 

DELUGE  [del'uge],  the  overflowing  of  the  earth 
with  water  in  the  time  of  Noah,  for  the  punish- 
ment of  sin  (Gen.  6. 9).  Traditions  of  such  a flood 
are  found  among  the  Chinese,  among  the  natives 
of  North  and  South  America,  and  most  primitive 
races.  The  account  of  the  deluge  discovered  in 


Account  of  the  Ijei.uoe. 

(From  the  Library  of  Assur-lani-pal  at  Nineveh  (6G8-G26  B.C.).  ^ow  in  British  Museum.) 

The  “Creation  Series"  and  the  “ Gisdubar  or  Gilgamish  Series  ” give  Babylonian  and  Assyrian  accounts  of  the  Creation, 
and  the  Babylonian  account  of  the  Flood,  in  many  particulars  resembling  closely  that  given  in  the  book  of  Genesis. 


1872  in  the  remains  of  the  library  of  Assur-bani- 
pal  (668-626)  strikingly  resembles  that  of  Genesis. 
That  king  had  it  copied  from  a cuneiform  in- 
scription derived  from  Erech  (Warka),  of  a date 
not  later  than  the  seventeenth  century  b.o. 
Xisuthros,  the  Chaldsean  Noah,  was  rescued 
along  with  his  family,  servants,  and  goods,  on 
account  of  his  righteousness.  The  deluge  lasted 
seven  days,  and  all  life  perished  except  that 
which  was  in  the  ark.  Xisuthros  sent  forth  in 
succession  a dove,  a swallow,  and  a raven.  The 
ship  or  ark  grounded  on  “ the  mountain  of 
Nizir,”  to  the  north-east  of  Assyria.  Xisuthros 
and  his  wife  were  then  translated  to  the  skies. 

DEUTERONOMY  [deu'ter-6n'o-my]  (Gr.  “ sec- 
ond law”),  the  name  of  the  fifth  of  the  Mosaic 
books,  which  is  substantially  identical  with  the 
book  found  by  the  priests  in  thd  reign  of  Josiah, 
621  B.C.  (2  Kings  22,  and  2 Ghr.  34).  Its  discovery 
led  to  a great  religious  reform  in  the  kingdom 
of  Judah.  [See  Pentateuch.] 

DIAMOND  [dT’a-mond]  (Heb.  gahalom,  Gr. 


adamas).  One  form  of  crystallized  carbon,  usu- 
allv  colorless,  remarkable  for  its  brilliancy  and 
exceptional  hardness.  This  gem  was  known  to 
the  Romans  at  least  as  early  as  the  first  century 
of  our  era,  but  probably  not  to  the  Jews  in  Old 
Testament  times.  It  cannot  have  been  used  for 
the  high-priest’s  breastplate,  because  the  art  of 
engraving  upon,  or  even  of  cutting,  the  stone 
was  a discovery  of  much  later  date.  Some  think 
the  qahalom  may  have  been  a sapphire  iq.v.), 
but  in  this  case  also  the  great  hardness  would 
be  a difficulty ; others  a sardonyx  (q.v.). 

DILL  [dill].  [See  Anise.] 

DISPERSION  [dls-per'yOn]  (Gr.  diaspdra),  a 
technical  term  for  the  Jews  living  outside  of 
Palestine  (John  7.  3.5);  afterwards  also  for  Chris- 
tians living  among  the  Gentiles  (James  1.1;  1 
Pet.  1. 11. 

DIVORCE  [dl-vor^e'].  The  Hebrew  name  for 
husband,  baal,  meant  “ owner,”  and  in  primitive 
Israel  dissolution  of  marriage  might  take  place 
at  the  husband’s  will.  The  Book  of  the  Covenant

right  to  be  fed  and  clothed  by  the  husband  (Ex. 
21. 7-11),  unless  she  was  redeemed  by  her  own  rela- 
tives, and  thus  set  free  to  marry  another  man.  In 
Deut.  24. 1-4  it  is  enacted  that  the  husband  must 

give  a dismissed  wife  a “ bill  of  divorcement,”  a 
ocument  releasing  her  from  all  claims  on  his 
part,  and  setting  her  free  to  marry  again. 

Our  Lord  teaches  that  marriage  rests  on  the 
original  creative  ordinance  of  God,  making  the 
bond  between  man  and  wife  indissoluble,  and 
that  the  Mosaic  legislation  with  regard  to  divorce 
was  a concession  to  natural  hardness  of  heart, 
and  did  not  correspond  to  its  divine  idea  (Mat.  19. 
4-9 ; 5.  31  ff .).  Divorce  was  only  permissible  in 
the  case  of  unfaithfulness  (Mat.  5.  32 ; 19.  9). 

DOG  [dog],  mentioned  about  forty  times  in 
Scripture,  almost  always  in  a tone  of  contempt. 
The  Jews,  not  being  a‘  hunting  people,  did  not 
train  the  dog,  excejit  to  guard  their  flocks  (Job 
30. 1).  They  had  not  the  noble  mastiffs  and  wolf- 
hounds which  we  find  carved  on  Assyrian  monu- 
ments, nor  the  varied  breeds  of  hunting  dogs 
portrayed  on  the  Egyptian  walls.  Their  dogs 
were,  doubtless,  as  they  are  still  in  Palestine, 
pariah  or  ownerless  dogs,  of  a type  not  unlike 
the  Scottish  collie.  Their  nocturnal  habits  are 
referred  to  in  Ps.  .59.  14, 1.5.  In  the  East  they  are 
the  scavengers  of  the  towns.  The  term  “dog” 
is  still  hurled  in  reproach  by  the  Jew  at  the 
Gentile,  and  by  the  Moslem  at  the  Christian. 

DOUAY  BIBLE  [dou'ay  bl'ble].  [See  under 
RiiEnis  Testahext.] 

DRAGON  [drag'on],  a huge,  powerful  creature 
of  indefinite  shape.  In  Ezek.  29.  3,  the  “ great 
dragon  ” is  the  crocodile. 

DRESS  [drgss]  among  the  Jews  consisted 
mainly  of  an  inner  garment,  called  a coatfg.?;.) 
or  tunic,  and  an  outer,  called  a cloke  {q.v.)  or 
mantle.  The  fullest  list  of  women’s  dress  is  in 
Isa.  3.  18-24.  [See  also  Headdress,  Orxaments, 
and  Saxdae.] 

DROMEDARY  [dr6m'g-d5-ry]  (Isa.  60.  6 and 
Jer.  2.  23),  a finer  and  swifter  race  of  camel,  dif- 
fering from  the  ordinary  camel  as  a race-horse 
does  from  a cart-horse.  According  to  an  Arabic 

Eroverb,  “Men  are  like  camels  — not  one  in  a 
undred  is  a dromedarv.” 


Even  over  this  man  has  no  power;  it  also  is 
in  the  determination  of  God  (7.  13,  14).  Power 
to  enjoy  what  good  there  is  in  life  is  the  gift  of 
God  (2.  24,  26;  3.  13;  6.  19).  The  Preacher  is,  of 
course,  no  sensualist.  The  “ good,”  enjoyment 
of  which  he  recommends,  consists  of  the  simple 
pleasures  of  life  — eating  and  drinking,  the  plea- 
sure to  be  derived  from  activity  in  work  or  busi- 
ness (9.  7-10;  11.  1-6,  9, 10).  He  is  a God-fearing 
man,  and  ends  as  he  begins,  with  inculcating 
“ the  fear  of  God  ” (3.  14;  5.  7 ; 12.  13). 

The  Preacher  prepares  for  Christianity  bv 
showing  the  need  of  it,  and  the  insufficiency  of 
the  Old  Testament,  if  arrested  before  it  reaches 
its  true  goal.  He  is  a voice  “crying  in  the 
night,”  and  his  cry  may  justly  be* called  pro- 
phetic. 

The  book,  ascribed  by  tradition  to  Solomon, 
does  not  expressly  mention  his  name.  Luther- 
thought  that  the  aim  of  the  whole  poem  was  ex- 
pressed in  8.  15,  and  many  scholars  are  of  his 
opinion,  that  it  belongs  to  the  latest  of  the 
Scriptures  of  the  Old  Testament.  Some  place  it 
between  320  and  217  b.c. 

ECCLESIASTICUS  [ee-ele'si-as'ti-eus],  or  the 
Wisdom  of  Jesus  the  Son  of  Sirach,  is  a com- 
panion to  the  Wisdom  of  Solomon  {q.v.),  but  is 
inferior  to  it  in  literary  and  spiritual  worth.  A 
number  of  its  sayings  have  become  proverbial  — 
e.g.  ch.  2.  1 has  been  rendered  familiar  by  its  use 
in  the  Imitatio  Christl,  “My  son,  if  thou  come 
to  serve  the  Lord,  prepare  thyself  for  tempta- 
tion.” 

The  work  was  originally  written  in  Hebrew, 
and  was  paraphrasecl  into  Greek  in  Alexandria 
in  132  B.c.  Towards  the  close,  the  writer  makes 
a rapid  sketch  of  the  heroes  of  Judaism,  be- 
ginning with  Enoch  and  ending  with  Simon  the 
high  priest.  [See  Apocrypha.] 

EDEN  [e'den].  Garden  of.  The  “ plain  ” of  Baby- 
lonia was  called  Edin  in  the  ancient  Sumerian 
language.  The  Persian  Gulf  was  regarded  as  a 
river,  the  “Salt  River;”  and  as  the  Euphrates, 
Tigris,  Kerkha,  and  Karun  flowed  into  it  by 
separate  mouths  in  the  early  days  of  Babylonian 
civilization,  the  tide  caused  these  mouths  to  be 
also  considered  “heads.”  Hiddekel  is  Idikla, 
the  Sumerian  name  of  the  Tigris.  The  tree  of 
life  is  often  represented  in  Assyrian  sculptures

ECCLESIASTES  [ee- 
ele'si-as'tes].  The  title 
of  the  book  in  Hebrew 
is  Kohe'Iefh,  which  the 
Greek  translator  ren- 
dered Ecc/e.sidsff^s,  one 
who  speaks  in  the  eccle- 
sia  or  asseml)]y.  It  is 
composed  of  two  ele- 
ments, the  author’s  theo- 
retical and  i)ractical 
philosophy.  The  thro- 
retical  i)hiloso])hy  is 
briefly:  All  is  vanity  — 
there  is  no  gain  or  result 
in  human  life;  it  is 
without  result,  like  the 
whole  order  of  things, 
which  goes  on  in  an 
eternal  round,  accom- 
plishing nothing.  All 
the  events  of  human  life 
are  in  the  hand  of  God; 
man  has  no  power  over 
them  more  than  he  has 

over  the  wind  (8.  8;.  The  practical  philosophy  I times  the  heads  of  eagles,  sometimes  of  men

Edom 


BIBLE  DICTIONARY. 


Egypt 


EDOM  [e'dom],  the  Land  of  (Gen.  3G.  16),  or 
Idumaea  (Isa.  34.  5,  6),  a mountainous  land  be- 
tween the  Dead  Sea  and  the  Gulf  of  Akabah,  and 
extending  into  Arabia  Fetraea.  Its  chief  city  was 
Sela  or  Petra.  The  Edomites  were  Semites,  closely 
related  to  the  Israelites.  They  were  frequently 
at  war  with  the  Israelites.  They  were  conquered 
by  David  (2  Sam.  8.  14),  and  by  Amaziah  (2  Chr. 
25. 11, 12).  They  at  last  fell  under  the  power  of 
the  Assyrians,  and  disappeared  as  a nation. 

EGYPT  [e'gypt],  the  name  applied  since  the 
time  of  Homer  to  the  land  of  the  Nile,  in  the 
north-east  of  Africa.  Egypt  consists  geograph- 
ically of  two  halves  — the  northern  being  the 
Delta,  and  the  southern  Upper  Egypt,  between 
Cairo  and  the  First  Cataract.  The  Hebrews 
called  it  Mizraim,  the  “land  of  Ham,”  and 
Rahab.  The  Egyptians  belonged  to  the  white 
race  and  their  original  home  is  still  a matter 
of  dispute.  The  ancient  Egyptian  language,  of 
which  the  latest  form  is  Coptic,  is  distantly 
connected  with  the  Semitic  family  of  speech. 

The  civilization  of  Egypt  goes  back  to  a remote 
antiquity.  The  two  kingdoms  of  the  north  and 
south  were  united  by  Menes,  founder  of  the  first 
historical  dynasty  of  kings.  The  first  six  dy- 
nasties, lasting  1,478  years,  constitute  what  is 
known  as  the  Old  Empire,  which  had  its  capital 
at  Memphis,  south  of  Cairo  (the  Old  Testament 
Moph  or  Noi)h).  The  native  name  was  Mennofer, 
“ the  good  idace.”  The  Pyramids  were  tombs  of 
the  monarchs  of  the  Old  Empire  — those  of  Gizeh 
being  erected  in  the  time  of  the  Fourth  Dynasty. 

After  the  fall  of  the  Old  Empire  came  a period 
of  decline  and  obscurity,  followed  by  the  Middle 
Empire,  the  most  powerful  dynasty  of  which 
was  the  Twelfth.  The  Fayyum  was  rescued  for 
agriculture  by  the  kings  of  the  Twelfth  Dynasty, 
and  two  obelisks  were  erected  in  front  of  the 
temple  of  the  Sun-god  at  On  or  Heliopolis  (near 
Cairo),  one  of  which  is  still  standing.  The  capi- 
tal of  the  Middle  Empire  was  Thebes,  in  Upper 
Egvpt. 

The  Middle  Empire  was  overthrown  by  the 
Hyksos  (haci’sclias,  “ Bedawin  chieftains”)  or 
Shepherd  princes  from  Asia,  whose  three 
dynasties  ruled  over  Northern  Egypt  for  sev- 
eral centuries.  They  had  their  capital  at  Zoan 
or  Tanis  (now  San),  in  the  north-eastern  part 
of  the  Delta.  In  their  time  Abraham,  Jacob, 
and  Joseph  entered  Egypt.  The  Hyksos  were 
finally  expelled  about  1600  b.c.  by  the  hereditary 
l)rinces  of  Thebes,  who  founded  the  Eighteenth 
Dynasty,  and  carried  the  war  into  Asia.  Canaan, 
Syria,  and  Cyprus  were  subdued,  and  the  boun- 
daries of  the  Egyptian  Empire  were  fixed  at  the 
Euphrates.  The  Soudan,  which  had  been  con- 
quered by  the  kings  of  the  Twelfth  Dynasty,  was 
again  annexed  to  Egypt,  and  the  eldest  son  of 
the  Pharaoh  took  the  title  of  “prince  of  Cush” 
{q.v.). 

One  of  the  later  kings  of  the  dynasty,  Ameno- 
phis  IV.,  taking  the  name  Khu-n-Aten  (“spirit 
of  the  sun”),  endeavored  to  supplant  the  an- 
cient state  religion  of  Egypt  by  a pantheistic 
monotheism  derived  from  Asia,  the  one  supreme 

fod  being  adored  under  the  image  of  the  solar 
isk.  The  attempt  led  to  religious  and  civil  war, 
and  the  Pharaoh  retreated  from  Thebes  to  Cen- 
tral Egypt,  where  he  built  a new  capital,  on  the 
site  of  the  present  Tel  el-Amarna  (q.v.).  The 
cuneiform  tablets  that  were  found  here  in  1887 
represent  his  foreign  correspondence  (about  1400 
B.C.).  He  surrounded  himself  with  officials  and 
courtiers  of  Asiatic,  and  more  especially  Ca- 
naanitish,  extraction;  but  the  native  party 
succeeded  eventually  in  overthrowing  the  gov- 
ernment; the  capital  of  Khu-n-Aten  was  de- 
stroyed, and  the  foreigners  were  driven  out  of 
the  country —those  that  remained  being  reduced 
to  serfdom. 

The  national  triumph  was  marked  by  the  rise 
of  the  Nineteenth  Dynasty,  in  the  founder  of 


which,  Ramses  I.,  we  must  see  the  “new  king, 
who  knew  not  Joseph.”  His  grandson,  Ramses 
II.,  reigned  sixty -seven  years  (1348-1281  b.c.),  and 
was  an  indefatigable  builder.  As  Pithom,  exca- 
vated by  Dr.  Naville  in  1883,  was  one  of  the  cities 
he  built,  he  must  have  been  the  Pharaoh  of  the 
Oppression.  The  Pharaoh  of  the  Exodus  may 
have  been  one  of  his  immediate  successors,  whose 
reigns  were  short.  Under  them  Egypt  lost  its 
empire  in  Asia,  and  was  itself  attacked  by  bar- 
barians from  Libya  and  the  north. 

The  Nineteenth  Dynasty  soon  afterwards  came 
to  an  end,  Egypt  was  distracted  by  civil  war,  and 
for  a short  time  a Canaanite,  Arisu,  ruled  over  it. 

Then  came  the  Twentieth  Dynasty,  the  second 
Pharaoh  of  which,  Ramses  III.,  restored  the 
power  of  his  country.  In  one  of  his  campaigns 
he  overran  the  southern  part  of  Palestine,  where 
the  Israelites  had  not  yet  settled.  They  must  at 
the  time  have  been  still  in  the  wilderness.  But 
it  was  during  the  reign  of  Ramses  HI.  that 
Egypt  finally  lost  Gaza  and  the  adjoining  cities 
to  the  Philistines. 

After  Ramses  III.,  Egypt  fell  into  decay.  Solo- 
mon married  the  daughter  of  one  of  the  last 
kings  of  the  Twenty-first  Dynasty,  which  was 
overthrown  by  Shishak  I.,  the  general  of  the 
Libyan  mercenaries,  who  founded  the  Twenty- 
second  Dynasty  (1  Kings  11.  40 ; 14.  25,  26).  A list 
of  the  places  he  captured  in  Palestine  is  en- 
graved on  the  outside  of  the  south  wall  of  the 
temple  of  Karnak. 

In  the  age  of  Hezekiah,  Egypt  was  conquered 
by  Ethiopians  from  the  Soudan,  vffio  consti- 
tuted the  Twenty-fifth  Dynasty.  The  third  of 
them  was  Tirhakah  (2  Kings  19.  9).  In  674  b.c.  it 
was  conquered  by  the  Assyrians,  who  divided  it 
into  twenty  satrapies,  and  Tirhakah  was  driven 
back  to  his  ancestral  dominions.  Fourteen  years 
later  it  successfully  revolted  under  Psammeti- 
chus  I.  of  Sais,  the  founder  of  the  Twenty-sixth 
D>masty.  Among  his  successors  were  Necho  (2 
Kings  23.  29)  and  Hophra,  or  Apries  (Jer.  37.  5,  7, 
11).  The  dynasty  came  to  an  end  in  525  b.c.  when 
the  country  was  subjugated  by  Cambyses.  Soon 
afterwards  it  became  a Persian  satrapy. 

The  title  of  Pharaoh,  given  to  the  Egyptian 
king,  is  the  Egyptian  Peraa,  or  “ Great  House,” 
which  may  be  compared  with  that  of  “Sublime 
Porte.”  It  is  found  in  very  early  Egyptian  texts. 

Egyptian  religion  was  a strange  mixture  of 


Osiris,  Judge  of  the  Dead.

sheikh,  “ elder and  see  Ex.  3. 16 ; 19. 7 ; 24. 1 ; Gen. 
50. 7 ; Num.  22.  7).  The  “ elders  of  the  city  (Deut.

elders  of  tribes  and  families,  retaining  their 
judicial  functions  (Deut.  22.  18).  The  “ Dodges

probably  those  among  the  elders  who  actecl 
respectively  as  administrators  and  executors  of

the  first  to  have  been  elected  by  the  people,  and, 
on  their  being  approved  by  the  apostles,  to  have 
been  instituted  to  their  office  by  prayer  and  the 
laving  on  of  hands.  Their  duties  were  to  ex- 
ercise spiritual  oversight  over  the  people  as

W the  poor  and  for  strangers  (1  Tim.  3.  2,  Tit.

Tit  1 O'),  and  to  administer  the  affaiis  of  the

nian,  Elijah  journeys  to  Horeb  to  meet  God. 
There  a vision  passes  before  him  (19.  11-18),  and 
reveals  to  him  that  God  establishes  His  kingdom 
not  by  the  violence  of  earthquake  and  tempest, 
but  in  gentleness  and  stillness.  He  returns  with 
new  faith  to  carry  out  God’s  commands,  on  his 
way  to  Damascus  anointing  Elisha  to  be  his  suc- 
cessor (19.  19).  Elijah  again  met  Ahab  to  an- 
nounce the  ruin  of  his  house  for  his  heartless 
robbery  of  Naboth,  whose  death  had  been  com- 
passed by  Jezebel  (1  Kings  21).  Wonderful  as  Eli- 
jah’s whole  career  was,  irs  completion  (2  Kings  2), 
in  which  the  Enoch  miracle  (Gen.  5.  24)  was  re- 
peated, was  its  most  remarkable  event.  There 
appeared  “chariots  of  fire  and  horses  of  fire,’’  and 
Elijah  was  “ taken  up  to  heaven  in  a whirlwind.’’ 
Elijah  was  the  leader  of  the  reaction  of  spiritual 
religion  of  Jehovah  against  the  nature  religion 
of  Baal,  and  through  his  efforts  Baal-worship 
was  effectually  checked  in  Israel.  The  eulogy 
of  Ecclesiasticus  (48.  1-12)  shows  in  what  high 
esteem  the  later  Jews  held  his  memory.  No 
other  prophet  is  so  often  mentioned  in  the  New 
Testament.  The  last  prophet,  Malachi,  prophe- 
sies his  return  before  the  day  of  the  Lord  (4  5) 
This  prophecy  was  literaUy  interpreted  in  Israel 
(c/.Mat.  16.14;  17.10;  27.47,49;  Mark  6. 15;  John 

I.  21,  25).  The  evangelists  and  our  Lord  show 
that  It  was  fulfilled  in  John  the  Baptist  (Mat. 

II.  14;  17.  10  ff. ; Luke  1.  17).  In  the  trans- 
nguration  of  our  Lord  Elijah  appears  as  the 
representative  of  the  prophets,  beside  Moses, 
tne  representative  of  the  law  (Mat.  17.  3). 

ELISHA  [e-h'sha]  (“  God  is  salvation  ”),  the  son 
of  Shaphat,  of  Abel-Meholah,was  the  disciple  and 
successor  of  Elijah  {q.v.),  to  whom  he  is  related 
much  as  Joshua  is  to  Moses.  His  prophetic  work, 

T J^elonged  to  the  reigns  of  Jehoram,  Jehu, 
and  Jehoahaz,  is  described  in 2 Kings,  ch.  2-9  and 
13.  As  the  spiritual  guide  of  the  people,  he 
showed  the  same  spirit  of  opposition  to  the  idola- 
court  and  priesthood  which  had  inspired 
Elijah,  and.  was  to  the  faithful  servants  of  Je- 
hpvah  what  his  great  teacher  had  been  before 
chariot  of  Israel,  and  the  horsemen 
thereof ’”  — Le,  Israel’s  strength  and  protection 
(2  Kings  2.  12;  13.  14).  Many  mii'acles  are  re- 
corded as  having  been  wrought  by  him.  He  died 
reign  of  Joash,  at  an  extreme  old  age.

aromatic  spices.  The  art  was  practised  by  the 
Egyptians  from  the  yery  earliest  times,  and  v’as 
by  them  brought  to  great  perfection.  It  probably 
originated  in  the  belief  in  the  future  reunion  of 
the  soul  and  the  body.  It  was  only  rarely  prac- 
tised by  the  Jews  (Gen.  50.  2;  2 Chr.  16.  14-  cf 
John  19. 39).  An  embalmed  body  is  a mummy.

the  eighth  century  the  Psalter,  the  Gospels,  and

EPHESIANS  [e-phe'sians],  the  Epistle  to  the. 
St.  Paul  had  resided  in  Ephesus  for  more  than 
two  years  (Acts  19.  8,  10),  yet  the  epistle  con- 
tains no  salutations,  no  references  to  his  experi- 
ences in  Ei)hesus.  Its  teaching  is  positive  and 
general.  From  the  best  MSS.  the  words  “ at  Ephe- 
sus ’’  are  wanting  in  the  first  verse.  The  epistle 
was  probably  a circular  letter  for  the  churches  of 
the  provinces  of  Asia,  that  which  the  Colossians 
were  instructed  (Col.  4.  16)  to  receive  “from 
Laodicea.”  That  the  Epistle  to  the  Ephesians 
was  written  immediately  after  that  to  the  Colos- 
sians  {q.v.)  appears  from  Col.  4.  7,  compared  with 
Eph.  6.  21.  Tychicus  was  the  bearer  of  both. 
The  similarities  of  thought  in  the  two  epistles 
are  also  marked  and  obvious.  The  reconcile- 
ment of  all  things  in  Christ  in  fulfilment  of 
God’s  eternal  purpose  is  common  to  the  two 
(Eph.  1.  10;  Col.  1.  19,  20);  so  too  is  the  concep- 
tion of  Christ  as  the  Head  of  the  church  (Eph.  4. 
15;  Col.  2.  19);  the  practical  exhortations,  al- 
though more  compressed  in  the  Epistle  to  the 
Colossians,  yet  follow  the  same  order,  and  em- 
brace similar  topics. 

EPHESUS  [eph'e-siis],  a famous  city  of  Lydia, 
in  Asia  Minor,  and  the  capital  of  Proconsular 
Asia,  is  noted  for  its  Temple  of  Artemis  or  Diana 
(Acts  19.  27)  and  its  great  theatre.  It  was  visited 
by  St.  Paul  in  his  second  journey  (Acts  18.  19), 
when  he  left  Aquila  and  Priscilla  there  to  carry 
on  the  Avork;  and  in  his  third  journev,  when 
Demetrius  raised  an  uproar  against 
him  (Acts  19.  1,  22-41).

In  the  Vulgate  these  books  appear  3 and  4 
Esdras,  because  Ezra  and  Nehemiah 
counted  as  two  books  of  Ezra.  Counting  them 
in  this  way,  the  third  Book  of  Esdras  is  a new 
version  of  the  events  relating  to  the  return  froin 
the  Captivity,  the  chief  incident  being  a contest 
before  the  king  by  the  young  wits  of  the  court, 
zlrubbabel  wins  with  the  well-known  maxim 
“ Magna  est  veritas,  et  praevalebit  — ^.e.  f r^^tii 
is  grlat,  and  will  prevail.”  In  consequence,  he 
obtains  concessions  for  the  Jewish  captives.  . 

The  fourth  Book  of  Esdras  has  perished  in  the 
Greek,  but  is  extant  in  versions.  Its  major 
part  is  a series  of  revelations  to  Ezra  regarding 
the  fortunes  of  Israel  and  of 
date  is  probably  after  70  a.d.  [See  raA.] 

ESSENES  [es-senes'],  an  ascetic  mder,  known 
to  have  existed  from  about  150  b.c.  In  the  time 
of  our  Lord  numbering  about  4,000,  they  were 
settled  in  monastic  communities  near  the  ueau 
Sea,  and  in  villages  throughout  the  countij.  Ibe 
name  is  probably  from  the  root  of  a Hebrew 
word  meaning  “pious.”  The  Essenes  endeavored 
to  reach  absoWe  religious  purity  through  strict 
abstemiousness  and  cleanliness.  Their  common 
meals  were  regarded  as  sacrificial  feasts,  ineii 
lives  were  divided  between  religious  exercises, 
lustrations,  and  labor  at  tillage  and  handi- 
crafts. They  had  community  of  goods,  and  dis- 
approved of  marriage.  They  forbade  trading, 
swearing  of  oaths,  and  anointing  with  oil.  They 
sent  gifts  of  incense  to  the, Temple  at  Jerusalem, 
but  difEered  from  orthodox  Judaism  in  rejecting 
all  animal  sacrifices,  in  praying  towards  the  ris- 
ing sun,  which  they  looked  upon  as  the  mani- 
festation of  “the  brightness  of 
regarding  the  body  as  essentially  evil  and  inca- 
pable of  Resurrection.  The  principles  in  which 
they  differed  from  Judaism  may  have  been 
derived  from  the  farther  East,  perhaps  from 
Parsism.  They  are  not  mentioned  in  the  INew 
Testament,  and  by  the  time  of  our  Lord  aPpear 
to  have  had  little  or  no  influence  on  the  life  ot 
their  nation. 

ESTHER  [es'ther],  the  Book  of.  Esthei 
(“star”),  the  Persian  name  of  Hadassa  ( myr-

Mordecai,  who  for  her  beauty  became  the  queen 
of  the  Persian  king  Ahasuerus  (Xerxes,  480-465 
B c ).  She  succeeded  in  frustrating  a plot  con- 
trived by  the  king’s  minister,  Haman,  for  a 
massacre  of  the  Jews.  Haman  was  hanged, 
Mordecai  was  appointed  in  his  stead,  and  the 
Jews  slew  in  self-defence  75,000  Persians.  Ihe 
book  which  contains  this  narrative  was  witten 
to  explain  the  origin  of  the  feast  of  Purim 
(“lots”),  which  is  referred  to  in  2 Maccabees  15.

Apocryplial,  Additions  to  Esther, — These  were 
inserted  in  the  canonica.1  text  of  Esther,  partly 
with  the  view  of  improving  the  story,  and  partly 
to  bring  out  the  connection  between  the  Book 
of  Esther  and  the  Feast  of  Purim  (or  “ lots  ),  at 
which  it  was  usually  read.  The  interpolator 
appears  to  betray  his  date  by  allusion  to  the 
year  177  B.c.  [See  Apocrypha.]

and  Pithom  (now  Tel  el-Maskhuteh,  twelve  miles 
west  of  Ismailia). 

When  the  Israelites  were  allowed  to  depart, 
they  journeyed  from  Ramses  to  Succoth,  about 
sixteen  miles,  and  thence  to  the  wilderness  of 
Etham,  and  encamped  at  the  then  northern  end 
of  the  Red  Sea.  At  the  edge  of  the  wilderness 
the  Hebrews  received  the  order  to  march  to- 
wards the  south,  so  as  to  put  the  sea  between 
them  and  the  desert.  Pharaoh  concluded  that 
“the  wilderness  shut  them  in,”  and  that  they 
were  “entangled  in  the  country,”  which  they 


could  not  leave  (Ex.  14.  1-3).  They  were  told  to 
encamp  before  Pi-hahiroth,  between  Mig(iol  and 
the  sea,  over  against  Baal-zephon.  There,  at 
God’s  command,  the  strong  wind,  driving  away 
the  water,  caused  the  sea  to  open,  and  kept  its 
bed  dry  as  long  as  the  people  went  through.  In 
the  morning  the  wind  fell  suddenly,  and  the 
water,  returning  to  its  level,  swept  off  every- 
thing which  was  in  its  way. 

According  to  Naville,  the  place  which  agrees 
best  with  the  narrative  is  between  Lake  Timsah 
and  the  so-called  Bitter  Lakes.  There  the  sea

would  be  narroAv  and  of  small  depth  ; there  also 
the  effect  of  the  wind  on  shallow  water  would  be 
most  strongly  felt.  Dawson  thinks  it  was  at  the 
south  part  of  the  Bitter  Lake,  between  station 
Fayid  on  the  railway  and  station  Geneffeh . Ebers 
and  Trumbull  believe  the  crossing  of  the  Red 
Sea  must  have  been  from  a point  near  the  north- 
west shore  of  the  Gulf  of  Suez.  [See  Penta-

EXORCISTS  [ex'6r-9lsts],  persons  who  pro- 
fessed to  expel  evil  spirits  by  adjuration  or  the 
performance  of  certain  rites.  Strolling  exorcists 
Avere  very  numerous  in  the  first  century,  espe- 
cially in  Asia  Minor.  Some  of  them  undertook, 


instead  of  their  usual  formulas,  to  employ  the 
name  of  Jesus  (Acts  10.  13). 

EZEKIEL  re-ze'ki-el]  (“God  strengthens”),  a 
Jewish  prophet,  son  of  a priest  Buzi,  was  among 
the  captives  whom  Nebuchadrezzar  carried  with 
king  Jehoiachin  in  .507  r..c.  to  Babylonia,  where 
he  was  settled  near  the  river  Chebar.  His 
prophetic  work  extended  over  not  less  than 
twenty-two  years  (50L>-.570).  His  book  consists 
of  two  principal  parts:  first,  discourses  and 
poems  (1-.30);  second,  the  apocalvpse  (40-48). 
The  first  part  consists  of  three  groups  of  prophe-

the  Temple  (1-24) ; second,  minatory  prophecies 
concerning  the  nations  (25-32) ; third,  prophe- 
cies concerning  Israel  and  other  nations  as 
related  to  Israel,  after  the  destruction  of  the 
Temple  (33-39).  The  prophecies  of  this  third 
group,  like  the  apocalypse  that  follows,  are 
much  concerned  with  the  thought  of  a restored 
Israel.  The  book  is  rich  in  striking  lessons 
touching  conduct  and  spiritual  experiences.  It 
is  here  that  we  find  the  vision  of  the  valley  of 
dry  bones,  the  conception  of  God  as  the  Good 
Shepherd,  the  sprinkling  with  clean  water,  the 
new  heart  in  place  of  a stony  heart,  the  showers 
of  blessing,  and  many  like  matters  that  are 
household  words  with  all  believers. 

EZRA  [ez'ra]  (“help”),  a Jewish  “priest  and 
scribe”  (Ezra  7. 11;  Neh.  12.  26),  the  organizer  of 
the  post-Exilic  community.  With  the  favor  and 
support  of  Artaxerxes  Longimanus,  he  led  a 
band  of  1,800  male  Israelites  from  Persia  to  Pales- 
tine in  458  B.c.  to  strengthen  Zerubbabel’s  colony. 
He  carried  out  a drastic  reform  by  casting  out  the 
foreign  wives  and  their  children,  and  established 
a regular  synagogue  service,  in  which  the  chief 
place  was  given  to  reading  and  exposition  of  the 
Law  For  this  service  he  founded  the  special 
class  of  Scribes.  Ezra  exercised  a most  power- 
ful influence  on  the  development  of  Judaism.

evidence  of  the  MSS.,  the  references  to  fasting 
in  Mat.  17.  21 ; Mark  9.  29 ; Acts  10.  30 ; 1 Cor.  7.  5. 

FATHER  [fa'ther],  a title  of  the  First  Person 
in  the  Godhead.  God  was  revealed  and  known  as 
the  Father  of  His  chosen  people  under  the  Old 
Testament  dispensation  (Deut.  32.  6;  Jer.  31.9), 
and  in  a fatherly  relation  to  individuals  (2  Sam.  7. 
14;  Ps.  89.  26);  but  it  was  peculiarly  the  func- 
tion of  Christ  to  reveal  the  Fatherhood  of  God 
(Mat.  6. 1 fE.,  10. 32)  and  to  bring  men  back  to  this 
relationship  (John  1. 12),  as  it  is  the  function  of 
the  Spirit  to  seal  and  testify  to  this  relationship 
of  God  and  the  believer  (Rom.  8. 15). 

FEASTS  [feasts].  The  three  annual  festivals 
of  the  Sanctuary  were;  (1)  the  Passover,  (2)  the 
Feast  of  Weeks,  (3)  the  Feast  of  Tabernacles. 

1.  The  Passover  was  a commemoration  of  the 
deliverance  of  the  Israelites  from  Egypt.  It 
began  on  the  fourteenth  of  Abib  or  Nisan  in  the 
evening  — i.e.  in  the  beginning  of  the  fifteenth 
(lay — with  a sacrificial  meal,  when  a lamb  or  kid 
was  roasted  whole,  and  was  eaten  with  bitter 
herbs  and  unleavened  bread  by  the  members  of 
every  family,  and  the  head  of  the  household 
recited  the  history  of  the  redemption  from 
Egypt.  The  sacrifices  denoted  expiation  and

Ezra  7-10;  Neh.  8-10  and  12. 

The  Book  of  Ezra  is  a continuation  of  Chroni- 
cles, the  last  sentence  of  2 Chr.  breaking  off  at  a 
sentence  which  is  found  completed  in  the  open- 
ing of  the  Book  of  Ezra.  It  narrates  the  resto- 
ration of  Jerusalem  and  the  Temple,  and  then 
describes  the  work  of  Ezra.  Certain  portions  of 
it  are  doubtless  from  his  hand  — viz.  1.21  to  9. 15. 


FALLOW  DEER  [fallow  deer]  (“Roebuck, 

R.  V. ; Deut.  14.  5 and  1 Kings  4.  23)  were  among 
the  provisions  for  Solomon’s  table  — probably 
the  bubale  or  “ wild  cow”  of  the  Arabs. 

FASTING  [fasting],  complete  or  partial  ab- 
stinence from  food,  is  in  the  Old  Testament  an  ex- 
pression of  religious  humiliation,  often  described 
by  the  phrase,  “ to  afflict  the  soul  ” (Lev . 16. 29, 31 ; 
Ps.  35. 13 ; Isa.  58. 3, 5, 10,  etc.).  It  was  regarded  as 
the  natural  sign  of  sorrow  (1  Sam.  1.  7 ; 20.  34 ; 
Sam.  1.  12;  Ps.  69.  11),  especially  of  penitence 
(Joel  1.T4;  2.  12  ff.);  and  where  this  mood,  which 
gives  fasting  its  value,  is  wanting,  the  prophets 
condemn  it  as  displeasing  to  God  (Isa.  58.  3-o ; 
Jer  14.  12).  The  only  regularly  recurring  fast 
prescribed  by  the  law  is  “ from  even  till  even 
on  the  great  Day  of  Atonement  (Lev.  16.  29;  23. 
27-32;  Acts  27.  9).  After  the  Exile  the  days  of 
national  calamity  Avere  commemorated  with 
fasting  — the  tenth  day  of  the  tenth  month 
(Tebeth),  the  day  of  the  beginning  of  the  siege  by 
Nebuchadrezzar  (2  Kings  25.  1);  the  ninth  day  of 
the  fourth  month  (Tammuz),  when  the.  city  was 
taken  (Jer.  52.  6 ff.) : the  seventh  day  of  the  fifth 
month  (Ab),  when  the  Temple  was  destroyed  (2 
Kings  25.  8) ; and  in  the  seventh  month  Q^isri), 
the  day  of  Gedaliah’s  murder  (Jer.  41.  Iff.;  (;/. 
Zech.  8.  19).  Fasting  came  to  be  regarded  as 
meritorious  in  itself  (Judith  8.  6;  Tobit  12.  8). 
The  Pharisees  fasted  twice  a week  (Luke  18. 12) 

— on  the  fifth  day  of  the  week,  when  Moses  was 
believed  to  have  gone  up  to  Mount  Sinai ; and  on  i 
the  second,  when  he  was  supposed  to  have  de-  i 
scended.  John’s  disciples  fasted  oft  (Mat.  9. 14). 
Our  Lord  imposed  no  fasting  on  His  disciples  | 
while  He  was  with  them  (Mat.  9. 15) ; but  did  not  j 
condemn  the  practice  when  followed  in  a right  | 
spirit  (Mat.  6.  16-18;  17.  21),  and  Himself  fasted  i 
before  the  beginning  of  His  ministry  (Mat.  4.  2).  j 
The  first  Christians  fasted;  in  particular  before 
the  mission  of  apostles  and  the  appointment  of 
elders  (Acts  13.  2,  3;  14.  23).  St.  Paul’s  fastings  |

ness  of  the  Egyptian  bondage ; unleavened  bread 
was  an  emblem  of  purity  {('f.  LeA^  2. 11). 

2.  The  Feast  of  Weeks  or  of  Harvest,  or  Day 
of  Firstfruits,  or  Pentecost (Gr.  “fiftieth”),  held 
on  the  fiftieth  dat/  or  seven  weeks  after  the 
second  day  of  the  Passover,  was  the  second  of 
the  three  annual  festivals  of  the  Sanctuary.  It 
was  limited  to  a single  day,  for  only  a portion  of 
the  products  of  the  year  had  been  garnered.- 
Two  loaves  of  leavened  bread,  representing  the 
firstfruits  of  the  grain  harvest,  were  offered  to 
the  Lord.  Ten  suitable  animals  were  sacrificed 
as  a burnt-offering,  a kid  for  a sin-offering,  and 
two  lambs  for  a peace-offering. 

The  Feast  of  Tabernacles,  or  Ingathering, 
was  the  last  of  the  three  annual  festivals.  It 
was  appointed  to  take  place  in  the  seventh 
month,  at  the  close  of  the  agricultural  season, 
when  all  the  products  of  the  year  had  been 
gathered.  It  was  celebrated  during  seven  days : 
the  daily  burnt-offering  included  a total  of 
seventy  "bullocks,  distriliuted  by  a decreasing 
scale  over  the  seven  days,  and  in  addition  two 
rams  and  fourteen  lambs  daily;  and  as  a sin- 
offering  a he-goat  was  daily  sacrificed  (Num. 
29.  12-34).  During  its  celebration  the  people 
dwelt  in  booths  made  of  the  boughs  of  trees. 

FERRET  [fer'iAt]  (A.  V. ; “Gecko,”  R.V.),  one 
of  five  species  of  lizards  mentioned  in  Lev.  11. 30.

FIG  [fig],  frequently  mentioned  in  Scripture, 
and  indigenous  to  Palestine.  These  figs  appear 
in  February  before  the  leaves,  which  do  not  cover 
the  tree  until  a month  or  six  weeks  later.  When 
the  leaves  are  fully  out,  the  fruits  should  be 
ripe  (Mat.  21.  19).  .

three  different  species.  The  fishes  of  the'Jordan 
and  Lake  Tiberias  are  extremely  like  those  of 
the  Nile.  They  are  carp-like,  large-scaled  fishes, 
barbels,  dace  and  bleak,  loaches,  etc.  The  Phoe- 
nicians engaged  in  sea-fishing  (Ezek.  26.  6 ; Neh. 
13. 16). 

FITCHES  [fitch '6sJ,  an  old  form  of  vetches, 
refers  to  a very  different  plant,  common  in  the 
East,  with  pungent  black  seeds,  used  to  flavor 
bread  (Isa.  28.  25 ; R.  F.  black  cummin,  Nigella  sa- 
tiva).  In  Ezek.  4. 9 the  plant  meant  is  spelt  (q.v.). 

FLAX  [flax]  was  grown  in  Egypt  and  Palestine 
from  very  early  times.  The  tabernacle  hangings 
and  the  high  priest’s  dress  were  of  linen  (Ex. 
27-29). 

FLEA  [flea].  This  insect  is  only  twice  men- 
tioned in  the  Bible,  viz.,  1 Sam.‘ 24.  14;  26.20, 
where  David  compares  himself  to  a flea,  a thing 
too  insignificant  for  Saul  to  pursue.  Fleas  are, 
however,  a real  pest  in  the  Holv  Land,  as  in 
most  other  Mediterranean  countries,  the  huts 
and  camps  of  the  natives  swarming  with  them. 

FLOOD  Jflood].  [See  Deluge.] 

FLY  [fly].  Flies  are  mentioned  in  the  Bible  by 
two  words:  1.  Arob.  This  word  occurs  twice 
only,  and  both  times  in  connection  with  the 
plague  of  flies  sent  upon  Pharaoh  and  the  Egyp- 
tians (Ex.  8.  21 ; Ps.  78.  45).  2.  Zerub.  This  word 

occurs  in  Eccl.  10.  1,  meaning  flies  generally,  and 
in  Isa.  7.  18,  where  the  prophet  alludes  to  some 
poisonous  fly  which  was  believed  to  be  found  on 
the  confines  of  Egypt,  and  which  would  be  called 
by  the  Lord. 

FOOD  [food].  Laws  Regarding.  In  the  law  all 
animals  are  divided  into  the  clean,  which  might 
be  eaten,  and  the  unclean,  which  were  forbidden. 
It  distinguishes  as  clean  the  beasts  which  both 
chew  the  cud  and  part  the  hoof ; fishes  with  fins 
and  scales;  all  birds  {q.v.),  except  nineteen  (or 
twenty),  mostly  carnivorous  ; and  of  creeping 
things,  the  locust  (Lev.  ch.  11,  and  Dent.  ch.  14 ; 
of.  also  Gen.  7.  2,  3;  8.  20).  Laws  more  or  less 
similar  are  found  among  the  Egyptians,  Hindus, 
Persians,  and  Mohammedans.  The  distinction 
between  clean  and  unclean  food,  before  it  was 
established  in  God’s  name  in  the  law,  was  a 
settled  custom  and  tradition  among  the  Jews, 
perhaps  originally  derived  from  the  natural  re- 
pugnance and  loathing  at  the  sight,  or  touch,  or 
smell  of  many  animals,  from  ill-effects  on  health 
traced  to  various  meats,  and  from  the  place 
which,  e.q.,  swine’s  flesh  had  in  the  cu.stoms  of 
heathen  idolatry.  The  purpose  for  which  this 
traditional  distinction  of  clean  from  unclean 
meats  was  elevated  into  a formal  law  is  dis- 
tinctly expressed  in  Lev.  20.  24-26 ; it  was  to  form 
a part  of  the  partition  wall  which  should  sep- 
arate from  the  Gentiles  the  people  chosen  by 
Jehovah  for  His  own  possession.  All  those  i)arts 
of  animals  which,  according  to  the  sacrificial 
ritual,  were  consecrated  to  the  altar,  were  for- 
bidden under  severe  penalties;  especially  blood, 
for  (1)  “ the  life  of  all  flesh  is  the  blood  thereof,” 
and  must  be  given  back  to  the  Lord  of  life  (Gen 
9.  4;  Lev.  7.  26,  27;  17.  10-14;  Deut.  12.  23;  1 Ham. 
14.  32-.34) ; and  (2)  blood  was  set  apart  to  make 
atonement  for  the  soul  (Lev.  17.  11).  Contrast 
the  practice  of  the  heathen,  e.q.  the  Philistines 
(Zech.  9.  7),  who  in  their  idolatry  drank  the 
blood  reeking  in  the  sacrificial  basin.  Certain 
pieces  of  the  fat  of  such  animals  as  were  suitable 
for  sacrifices  (oxen,  sheep,  and  goats)  were  not 
to  be  eaten,  but  were  consecrated  to  the  Lord 
(Lev.  3.  11-17;  7.  23-25).  It  was  forl)id(len  also 
“ to  seethe  a kid  in  his  mother’s  milk”  (Ex.  23. 19; 
34.  26;  Deut.  14.  21),  which  might  possibly  “be 
taken  as  equivalent  to  eating  flesh  with  the 
blood,  and  be  forbidden  to  the  Ilebi’ews  along 
with  the  blood  sacraments  of  the  heathen” 
{Robertson  Smith).  The  Arabs  of  the  present 
day  sometimes  stew  a lamb  or  kid  in  milk.  The 
flesh  of  animals  that  had  been  strangled,  or 
killed  without  being  bled  in  the  regular  manner 


(Ex.  21.  28),  and  flesh  that  had  been  sacrificed  to 
heathen  idols,  were  likewise  forbidden  (Ex.  34 
15).  Except  in  times  of  great  distress  or  of 
religious  declension  (2  Kings  6.  25;  cf.  Ezek.  22 
26)  these  laws  were  well  observed  {cf.  2 Maccabees 
6.  18  ff.).  The  scrupulousness  of  the  Jews  in 
regard  to  these  laws  of  food,  rendered  it  difficult 
for  Jewish  Christians  and  Gentile  Christians  to 
eat  together,  and  to  enjoy  full  religious  fellow- 
ship (Gal.  2. 11  ff.),  a compromise  was  therefore 
agreed  to  by  the  Gentile  Christians  to  meet 
the  Jewish  Christians  on  this  point  (Acts  ch.  15). 
Christ  declared  the  whole  of  this  legislation  to  be 
morally  indifferent  (Mat.  15.  11,  16-20;  23.  24-26- 
cf.  Acts  10.  9-16;  11.  5-10;  Rom.  14.  1 ff . ; Col.  2. 
16  ff.).

GALATIANS  [ga-la'tjans],  the  Epistle  to  the, 
was  addressed  to  a group  of  churches  (1. 2).  The 
name  Galatia  was  originally  restricted  to  a tract 
of  country  west  of  Pontus  and  Cappadocia  and 
north  of  l’hrygia,which  was  seized  by  three  tribes 
of  Gauls  (Galatians  = Celts)  about  the  beginning 
of  the  third  century  n.o.,  and  which  in  189  b.u. 
became  a Roman  dependency.  The  Roman  prov- 
ince of  Galatia,  constituted  in  25  u.o.,  included 
not  only  this  region,  but  also  Lycaonia,  Pisidia, 
Pamphylia,  and  a large  part  of  Phrvgia.  The 
churches  here  addressed  were  either  among  the 
northern  Galatians,  or,  more  probably,  in  Anti- 
och, Iconium,  Lystra,  and  Derbe,  of  the  found- 
ing of  which  churches  we  have  a full  account  in 
Acts  13.  13  to  14.  24. 

Closely  as  St.  Paul  was  bound  to  all  his 
churches,  he  was  exceptionally  sympathetic 
with  those  of  Galatia.  During  his  absence, 
Judaizing  teachers  had  found  access  to  them, 
and  taught  them  that  it  was  only  through  the 
gate  of  Judaism  any  one  could  enter  the  Chris- 
tian fold.  The  speciousness  of  these  arguments 
convinced  St.  Paul  that  a great  crisis  had 
arrived,  and  that,  if  Christianity  was  to  become 
the  universal  religion,  and  not  a mere  Jewish 
sect,  it  was  time  that  he  should,  once  for  all, 
make  clear  the  relation  of  Christ  to  the  Law. 
The  extraordinary  compression,  richness  in  ar-

gument,  and  convincing  character  of  this  epistle 
make  it  a masterpiece,  even  among  St.  Paul’s 
writings.  The  freedom  and  the  spirituality  of 
true  religion  are  once  for  all  demonstrated. 

GALBANUM  [gal'ba-nhm],  a resinous  juice, 
used  for  the  sacred  incense  (Ex.  30.  34). 

GALILiEANS  [gal’i-le'ans].  The  people  of 
Galilee  {q.v.),  being  little  uiider  the  influence  of 
Jerusalem,  the  centre  of  Jewish  piety  and  cul- 
ture, were  looked  down  upon  as  ignorant  rustics. 
They  bitterly  resented,  however,  the  Roman 
voke,  and  supplied  a large  proportion  of  the 
Zealots  ((/.v.)  (Acts  5.  37 ; Luke  13. 1). 

GALILEE  [gal 'i -lee]  lay  between  Samaria  on  the 
south,  the  river  Leontes  on  the  north,  the  mari- 
time plain  on  the  west,  and  the  Sea  of  Galilee,

including  the  eastern  coast  of  this,  on  the  east. 
Exclusive  of  the  lake,  it  measured  about  50  miles 
north  and  south,  by  25  to  35  east  and  west.  It  in- 
cluded the  plain  of  Esdraelon;  Lower  Galilee,  a 
series  of  parallel  ranges,  none  over  1,850  feet; 
and  Upper  Galilee  in  the  north,  a series  of 
plateaus  surrounded  bv  hills  from  2,000  to  4,000 
feet.  The  line  between  the  two  Galilees  ran 
from  the  north  end  of  the  lake  westward  to 
Acre.  Galilee  is  well  watered  and  wooded,  with 
stretches  of  good  corn-land.  Earthquakes  are 
frequent.  The  greatest  thoroughfare  is  the  so- 
called  Way  of  the  Sea,  connecting  Damascus  with 
the  Levant.  . ^ ,

fish  were  cured,  probably  to  the  south.  On  the 
north-west  are  the  sites  of  Capernaum  and  Cho-

7. 1),  disputes  were  decided  (2  Sam.  15.  2),  and  all 
kinds  of  business  transacted  (Gen  23.  10).  The

GAZA  [ga'za]  (Gen.  10. 19,  etc.),  a famous  Philis-

True  gem -engraving  (that  is,  the  cutting  of 
stones  which,  like  quartz,  chalcedony,  beryl,  etc., 
are  harder  than  steel)  appears  to  have  been 
known  in  Nineveh  about  730  b.c.,  but  neither  in 
Egypt  nor  in  Europe  till  considerably  later, 
though  engraving  on  softer  materials  was  com- 
mon. The  art  appears  to  have  reached  the 
Mediterranean  rather  earlier  than  570  b.o.  [See 
“ Handbook  of  Engraved  Gems,”  by  C.  W.  King, 
sec.  1.]  It  must,  however,  be  remembered  that  as 
the  Egyptians  were  able,  before  the  days  of  the 
Exodus,  to  sculpture  and  even  to  polish  granite, 
of  which  grains  of  quartz  are  a constituent, 
varieties  of  this  mineral  might  occasionally  have 
been  engraved,  though  at  present,  so  far  as  we 
are  aware,  no  instances  have  been  discovered. 

GENERAL  EPISTLES  [gen[er-al  e-pis'tles],  a 
term  first  applied  to  three  epistles  (James,  1 
Peter,  and  1 John),  and  afterwards  to  2 Peter  and 
Jude,  the  brief  letters,  2 and  3 John,  being  finally 
classed  with  the  five  others  for  convenience. 
The  designation  implies  that  the  letter  was 
originally  addressed  to  a wider  circle  of  readers 
than  the  members  of  a single  community  of 
Christians. 

GENESIS  [gen'e-sTs].  [See  Pentateuch.] 

GENEVA  BIBLE  [ge-ne'va  bl'ble],  1560. 
Numerous  editions  of  the  English  Bible  and 
of  the  English  New  Testament  were  published 
during  the  reign  of  Edward  the  Sixth.  Only 
one  was  issued  while  Mary  Tudor  was  on  the 
throne.  The  fiery  persecution  originated  by  that 
queen  sent  large  numbers  of  English  Reformers 
and  scholars  to  the  Continent.  Many  of  these 
made  Geneva  their  place  of  exile,  and  there  they 
printed,  in  1560,  two  years  after  the  accession  of 
Elizabeth,  an  entirely  new  edition  of  the  Bible, 
which  became  for  seventy-five  years  the  Bible  of 
the  English  people.  Three  men,  Whittingham, 
Gilby,  and  Sampson,  out  of  the  little  company 
of  British  Reformers  gathered  at  Geneva,  gave 
themselves  to  this  work  “ for  the  space  of  tAvo 
years  and  more,  day  and  night.”  It  is  the  first 
English  Bible  in  which  Roman  type  is  used. 

The  notes  of  this  Bible,  which  are  numerous 
and  racy,  as  Avell  as  its  convenient  size  (small 
(luarto),  made  it  very  popular.  From  the  fact 
in  Gen.  3.  7 the  word  “ breeches  ” occurs,  this  edi- 
tion is  commonly  called  the  “ Breeches  Bible.” 

GENNESARET  [gen-nes'a-ret]  (Mat.  14.  34; 
Mark  6.  53;  Luke  5.  1),  a fertile  plain  on  the 
north-west  shore  of  the  Sea  of  Galilee. 

GERIZIM  [ger'i-zim].  [See  Mountains.] 

GETHSEMANE  [geth-sem'a-ne]  (Mat.  26.  .36; 
Mark  14.  32h  a garden  at  the  foot  of  the  Mount 
of  Olives.  The  exact  position  is  unknoAvn. 

GIHON  [gi'hSn.]  [See  JekuSxVlem.] 

GILEAD  [gll'e-ad]  (Gen.  31.  2.3-25,  etc.),  the 
region  east  of  the  Jordan,  one  of  the  best 
watered  and  wooded  in  Palestine,  with  fine  per- 
ennial stress,  and  forests  of  oak  and  pine. 

GILGAL  [gll'gai],  the  name  of  three  places  in 
Palestine:  (1)  the  most  famous  (.Tosh.  4. 19,  etc.), 
east  of  Jericho,  in  the  .Jordan  valley ; (2)  in  Mount 
Ephraim  (2  Kings  2. 1);  (3)  Gilgai  of  the  Goim 
or  “nations”  (.Tosh.  12. 23), in  Sharon,  south-east 
of  Caesarea.  The  name  indicates  a “circle”  of 
stones. 

GNAT  [gnat]  (Mat.  2.3.  24).  Gnats,  being  among 
the  smallest  of  insects,  are  used  in  this  metaphor 
to  emjjhasize  the  contrast  to  a bulky  animal  like 
the  camel. 

GOATS  [goats]  are  an  important  item  in  the 
pastoral  wealth  of  the  East.  They  are  reared 
alongside  of,  but  not  with,  the  sheep.  The 
sheep  close  graze  the  tender  herbage ; the  goats 
broAA^se  on  the  twigs  of  the  bushes.  Goats’  milk 
is  preferred  to  any  other.  The  Syrian  goat  is 
larger  and  finer  than  ours,  generally  black. 

GOAT,  Wild.  [Heb.  ife'Uim.,  fern,  ya'alah, 
{Capra  bedea,.)  Arab.  bed,en.]  The  Sinai'tic  ibex. 
The  HebreAV  is  translated  always  by  “ wild  goat,” 
except  in  Prov.  5. 19,  where  the  feminine  form  is 

43 


rendered  “ roe.”  Another  word,  akko,  occurs 
only  in  Deut.  14.  5,  where  it  is  translated  “ wild 
goat.”  The  Sinaitic  ibex  is  a very  beautiful 


Wild  Goat.  Capra  heden. 

creature,  of  a light  fawn  color,  Avith  very  long 
recuiwed  and  regularly  knotted  horns,  smaller 
and  more  slender  than  the  Alpine,  still  more 
than  the  Himalayan  species. 

GOLD  [gold]  (Keh.  zahab,  Gr.  chrysos).  This 
metal  apparently  was  not  obtained  in  Palestine ; 
some  was  imported  from  Sheba  (part  of  Arabia), 
some  from  Ophir.  The  last  district  has  been 
identified  both  Avith  the  western  coast  of  India 
and  with  some  part  of  the  eastern  coast  of 
Africa.  It  has  been  suggested  of  late  that  it 
may  have  been  in  Mashdnaland,  where  verv  an- 
cient mines  and  gold-workings  have  been  de- 
scribed by  Mr.  Theodore  Bent.  Gold,  as  we  knoAv 
from  the  contents  of  ancient  graves,  was  in  use 
for  ornamental  purposes  at  a very  early  date, 
even  when  stone  held  the  place  of  metal  for 
weapons  and  tools.  It  was  no  doubt  obtained 
(and  this  is  still  one  source  of  supply)  by  Avash- 
ing  the  river-sands  and  other  alluvial  deposits. 

GOLGOTHA  [gol'go-tha].  [See  Jerusalem.] 

GOMORRAH  [go-mor'rah]  (Gen.  10. 19, etc.),  one 
of  the  five  cities  of  the  “plain,”  mentioned 
with  Sodom,  Admah,  Zeboim,  and  Zoar.  These 
cities  probalily  stood  in  the  plains  north  of  the 

GOPHER-WOOD  [go  pher-wdod]  (Gen.  6.  14), 
perhaps  cypress. 

GOSHEN  [go'shen].  [See  Exodus.] 

GOSPELS  [gSs'pels],  the.  Each  of  the  four 
Gospels  has  its  peculiar  design  and  its  distinc- 
tive method.  St.  MattheAv  gives  long  discourses 

— he  Avrites  as  a preacher;  St.  Mark  depicts 
events  as  they  occurred,  one  after  the  other 

— he  is  a chronicler;  St.  Luke  arranges  the 
incidents  Avith  reference  to  their  relations  — 
he  is  a historian;  Avhile  St.  John  selects  such 
facts  and  discourses  as  prove  a given  truth  — 
he  is  a theologian.  The  Gospel  of  St.  John, 
evidently  written  last,  is  properly  distinguisheil 
from  the  others,  which  resemble  each  other 
more  closely.  From  early  times  the  “symbols” 
of  Rev.  4.  7 have  been  assigned  to  the  four  evan- 
gelists — to  St.  MattheAv,  the  man ; St.  Mark, 
the  lion;  St.  Luke,  the  calf ; St.  John,  the  eagle. 
More  than  one-half  of  all  the  narratives  describes 
the  events  of  the  last  year;  more  than  one-third 
is  (leA'oted  to  the  few  weeks  Avhich  closed  with 
the  death  and  resurrection  of  our  Lord. 


Gospels 


BIBLE  DICTIONARY. 


Hamath 


The  first  three  Gospels  have  been  termed  “Syn-  ground  into  flour  in  hand-mills  or  querns  eon 
optic,”  because  a common  outline  is  pursued,  sistine’ of  two  hard  circular  stones,  one  revolvei 
Much  of  the  matter  throughout  is  common  to 


the  three,  but  the  arrangement  is  rarely  the 
same  in  all,  except  in  the  accounts  of  Passion 
Week ; and,  when  the  same  incident  is  given  by 
all,  the  language  is  rarely  the  same  for  ten  con- 
secutive words  (in  the  Greek).  The  best  expla- 
nation is  that  the  common  matter  represents  in 
general  the  story  of  Jesus  Christ  as  preached  by 
the  apostles  and  others;  and  that,  when  written 
Gospels  were  needed,  these  three  writers,  inde- 
pendently of  each  other,  each  with  added  mate- 
rial, wrote  the  accounts  we  noAV  have.  St. 
Matthew  had  his  own  knowledge  of  the  events; 
St.  Mark  learned  from  St.  Peter ; St.  Luke  gath- 
ered material  when  in  Palestine  (58-60  a.d.), 
while  eve-witnesses  were  living,  probably  using, 
for  the  parts  peculiar  to  his  narrative  (especially 
ch.  1,2),  some  written  documents  or  memoranda. 

Some  hold  that  all  three  Gospels  were  based  on 
one  or  more  common  documents.  It  is  assumed 
that  there  were  two  original  documents  referred 
to  by  Papias  (died  163  a.d.)  : one,  by  St.  Matthew, 
containing  the  Oracles  (Logia),  in  Hebrew ; the 
other,  by  St.  Mark,  derived  from  St.  Peter.  But 
there  is  no  agreement  as  to  the  extent  of  these 
assumed  documents.  The  faithful  use  of  a com- 
mon document  or  documents  would  have  led  to 
greater  similarity  both  in  order  and  in  language. 

The  independence  of  the  Synoptic  Gospels  in- 
volves the  probability  that  they  were  written 
within  a few  years  of  each  other,  and  that  the 
testimony  they  present  is  that  of  three  distinct 
witnesses  to  the  main  facts  respecting  our  Lord’s 
life  on  earth. 

GOSPELS,  HARMONY  OF.  [See  Life  of  Jesus,

GOURD  [gourd],  a poisonous  fruit  which  grew 
on  a “wild  Adne”  at  Gilgal  (2  Kings  4.  38-41). 
The  plant  that  best  fits  the  narrative  is  the  colo- 
cynth,  which  is  found  in  sandy  places  near  the 
Mediterranean  and  the  Dead  Sea.  The  “ vine 
of  Sodom”  (Deut.  32.  32)  and  the  “gall”  (Deut. 
29.  18)  seem  to  have  been  this  same  plant,  and 
Jonah’s  gourd  a climbing  plant  of  a similar 
kind.  The  R.  V.,  however,  gives  palma-christi, 
the  castor-oil  plant.  The  cedar  knops  (knobs)  of 
1 Kings  6.  18  (see  R.  V.)  were  probably  gourd- 
shaped.

131  by  7^  inches  — was  an  edition  prepared  by 
Coverdale,  Avhich  Cromwell,  as  vicar-general,  or- 
dered to  be  “ set  up  in  some  convenient  place  ” 
within  every  church.  It  was  first  printed  in 
Paris,  and  six  other  editions  were  printed  in 
England  Avithin  tAvo  years.  For  the  first  of  these 
Cranmer  wrote  a preface,  and  hence  this  Bible  is 
often  called  “ Cranmer’s  Bible.” 

GRECIANS  [gre'cians]  (Acts  6.1;  9.29;  11.20, 
A.  V.).  [See  Hellenists.] 

GREYHOUND  [gra'hound']  (Prov.  30.  31),  A.  V. 
and  R.  V. ; but  R.  V.  margin  “ war-horse.”  As  the 
HebreAV  means  “ girt  up  or  slim  in  loins,”  it  may 
be  either.  The  grevhound  is  represented  on  the 
Assyrian  sculptures  as  employed  in  chasing  the 
gazelle.  ^ 

GRINDING  [grind'ing]  (Isa.  47.  2).  Corn  was 


sisting  of  tAvo  hard  circular  stones,  one  revolved 
upon  the  other  by  means  of  a peg  or  handle. 
The  labor  was  commonly  performed  by  women 
(cf.  Mat.  24. 41).  The  LaAv  forbade  any  one  to  take 
another’s  millstone  in  pledge  (Deut.  24.  6).

Hand-Mill. 


HABAKKUK  [ha-bak'kuk]  prophesied  about 
604  B.C.,  in  the  reign  of  Jehoiakim  (608-597  b.c.), 
in  the  middle  period  of  the  career  of  Jeremiah. 

I.  Ch.  1 and  2 are  concerned  Avith  the  work  and 
fate  of  the  Chaldseans,  that  terrible,  relentless, 
and  resistless  nation  (1.  5-11),  from  whose  fury  a 
remnant  shall  be  preserved  by  their  trust  in  Je- 
hovah (2.  2-4).  In  five  “woes”  the  Chaldaeans 
are  condemned  on  account  of  their  greed  (2. 6-8) ; 
their  self -destructive  ambition  (2.  9-11);  their 
cruelty  and  godlessness  (2. 12-14);  their  shame- 
less treatment  of  the  nations  (2.  15-17);  their 
idolatry  in  the  face  of  Jehovah  in  His  Temple 
(2.  18-20). 

II.  Ch.  3 puts  in  lyric  form,  with  ample  detail, 
the  thought  of  the  vision  of  Jehovah  with  which 
the  prophecy  opens  (ver.  1-15),  and  its  effect 
upon  the  prophet’s  own  spirit.  Speaking  for  his 
people,  he  exults  that  no  privation  or  suffering 
can  rob  him  of  his  trust  and  joy  in  God  (ver. 
16-19).  [See  Minor  Prophets.] 

HAGGADA  [hag-ga'da]  (Heb.,  properly  “ narra- 
tive,” “ legend  ”),  the  name  for  that  part  of  the 
traditions  of  the  Jewish  scribes  consisting  of  the 
elaboration  of  the  historical  and  didactic  por- 
tions of  Scripture.  As  contrasted  with  the 
Halacha  (9-.?;.),  which  confined  itself  to  the  ex- 
position and  application  of  the  text,  its  handling 
of  the  Scripture  is  unrestrained.  It  freely 
admits  additions  and  interpolations,  including 
legends.  Here  “ there  was  really  but  one  rule 
for  the  ‘ investigator,’  viz.  the  right  of  making 
anything  of  a passage  which  his  wit  and  under- 
standing enabled  him  ” {Shui'ci').  [See  Talmud.] 
HAGGAI  [hag’ga-T],  a Jewish  prophet,  in  his 
old  age  came  forward  at  Jerusalem,  in  520  b.c.,  to 
urge  the  rebuilding  of  the  Temple.  The  work 
was  begun  on  the  twenty-fourth  of  September 
of  the  same  year.  His  book  consists  of  addresses 
on  this  theme,  in  plain,  unadorned  style.  [See 
Minor  Prophets.] 

HAGIOGRAPHA  [ha'gi-5g'iA-pha].  The  third 
division  of  the  books  included  in  the  Hebrew 
Canon  have  a more  diversified  character  than 
either  of  the  classes  of  Law  and  Prophecy,  and 
they  have  never  received  a more  definite  desig- 
nation than  Ketubim  (Heb.  “Writings”),  or 
Haqiofjrapha  (Gr.  “Sacred  Writings”).  [See 
Old  Testament  Canon.] 

HAIR  [hair].  The  HebreAvs  regarded  a strong 
growth  of  hair  both  on  the  head  and  on  the  chin 
as  an  ornament  to  a man.  By  many  it  was  worn 
hanging  down  to  the  shoulder  (c/'.  2 Sam.  14.  26). 
To  cut  off  a man’s  beard  (q.v.)  was  to  offer  him  the 
grossest  insult  (c/.  2 Sam.  10.  4).  Only  in  times 
of  mourning  was  the  head  shaved  (rf.  Ezek.  7. 18 ; 
Amos  8. 10)  Avith  a sharp  knife  or  “ barber’s  razor  ” 
(Ezek.  5. 1).  That  the  hair  Avas  also  Avorn  in  locks 
or  ringlets  is  shown  by  the  case  of  Samson 
(Judg.  16. 13) ; see  also  Isa.  3.  24.  . 

HALACHA  [ha-la'eha]  (Heb.  “that  which  is 
current”),  the  Rabbinical  law  of  custom,  Avhicli 
was  developed  beside  the  written  Torah  or  LaAv 
of  Moses.  It  was  distinguished  from  the  //ar/- 
gada  (q.v.),  as  being  the  legal  part  of  the  oral 
tradition  of  the  scribes,  including  their  exposi- 
tions of  the  Torah,  and  all  the  additional  laAvs 
which  Avere  recognized  as  binding  by  the  Jews 
after  the  Exile.  [See  Talmud.] 

HALLEL  [hariel],  Hallelujah.  [See  Music.]

it  was  at  one  time  under  the  Hittites.  It  made 
alliance  with  David  (2  Sam.  8.  10),  and  in  740  n.c. 
with  Azariah  (against  Assyria).  Conquered  by 
the  Assyrians  in  720  b.c.,  the  people  of  Hamath 
M'ere  transported  to  Samaria  (2  Kings  17.  24,  30).

HARAN  [ha'ran].  [See  Abraham.] 

HARE  [h^re]  (Heb.  arnebeth).  Though  the 
name  occurs  only  in  the  lists  of  Leviticus  and 
Deuteronomy  there  is  no  question  about  the 
translation  — the  hare  being  very  common,  and 
the  Arabic  name  the  same  as  the  Hebrew.  It 
was  forbidden  as  food  to  the  Israelites  because  it 
does  not  divide  the  hoof,  and  Moses  parentheti- 
cally adds,  though  it  chews  the  cud,  i.e.  re-chews. 


which  to  all  appearance  it  does,  perpetually 
grinding  its  teeth. 

HARMONY  OF  THE  GOSPELS.  [See  Life  of 
Jesus,  pages  53-67.] 

HARP  [harp].  [See  Music.] 

HART  [hart]  and  HIND  [hind]  of  the  fallow 
deer,  the  native  deer  of  Syria,  now  almost,  if  not 
altogether,  extinct  in  Palestine,  must  have  been 
very  common  in  ancient  times  {cf.  Ajalon,  “ the 
place  of  deer  ”).  Deer  are  often  depicted  on  the 
monuments  both  of  Egypt  and  Assyria.  The 
bones  of  the  red  deer  have  been  found  in  caverns 
in  Lebanon. 

HARVEST  [har'vest].  Feast  of.  [See  Feasts.]

W orking  Class.  (6)  Head-dress.  (7)  Nose-rings.  (8)  and  (11)  Bracelets.  (0)  Anklets.  (10)  Necklace. 


dress  of  the  people  was  probably  like  that  of  the 
modern  Bedawin  — a colored  handkerchief  bound 
round  the  head  with  a cord  so  as  to  shade  both 
neck  and  ears  from  the  sun.  In  later  times  the 
rich  wore  a turban  formed  of  a long  strip  of  fine 
linen  rolled  many  times  round  the  head  (Isa.  3. 

23,  /?.  F.).  Yet  another  “headtire”  (Isa.  3.  20, 
Ji.  V.)  was  worn  on  festal  occasions,  and  espe- 
cially by  brides  or  bridegrooms  (Isa.  61. 10 ; Ezek. 

24.  17).  [See  Ornaments.] 

HEBREW  [he'brew].  The  Old  Testament,  omit- 
ting the  Apocrypha,  is  written  in  Hebrew,  with 
the  exception  of  a few  portions  written  in  Ara- 
maic ((/.V.).  The  Hebrew  language  is  one  of  the 
large  group  of  dialects  which  have  been  named 
Semitic  languages,  after  Shem,  who  was  supposecl 
to  be  the  ancestor  of  most  of  the  i)eo]des  speaking 
them.  These  languages  include  also  the  As- 
syrian and  Babylonian,  the  Arabic,  the  Samari- 
tan, the  Aramaic,  the  Syriac,  the  Phoenician,  the 
Punic  or  Carthaginian,  the  Ethiopic,and  a num- 
ber of  other  tongues  or  dialects  known  to  us 
imperfectly  by  means  of  inscriptions. 

Hebrew  as  a spoken  language  fell  into  disuse 
about  the  time  of  the  return  of  the  Jews  from 


the  Babylonian  Captivity,  having  been  displaced 
by  the  Aramaic;  but  it  remained  in  use  as  a 
literary  language,  and  as  a sacred  language  to  be 
used  in  the  ofiices  of  religion. 

HEBREWS,  a name  probably  first  given  to  the 
Israelites  by  the  inhabitants  of  Canaan,  their 
ancestor  being  called  (Oen.  14.  13)  Abram  “ the 
Hebrew  ” — i.e.  one  who  has  migrated  “ from  be- 
yond ” (Jordan).  In  the  Old  Testament  time  it 
continued  to  be  the  name  most  used  by  for- 
eigners, bearing  a similar  relation  to  the  native 
names.  Children  of  Israel  or  Jews,  as  in  the  case 
of  other  nations  the  foreign  names.  Creeks  (Lat. 
Greed),  Hungarians  (“  foreigners  ”),  Welsh  (“for- 
eigners ”),  bear  to  Hellenes,  Magyars,  Cymry. 

In  the  New  Testament , 1 lebrews  means  ei  ther  the 
Jews  as  distinguished  from  the  Gentiles  (2  Cor. 

11.  22;  Phil.  3. 5),  or  the  Palestinian  .Jews  (Acts  6. 
1)  as  distinguished  from  the  Hellenists  (q.v.). 

HEBREWS,  the  Epistle  to  the,  was  addressed 
to  a i)urely  Hebrew  church  {cf.  5.  12;  6.  10;  10.  32; 

12.  4;  13.  7-24).  Assuming  the  probability  of  the 
e))istle  having  been  written  from  Italy  (13.  24),  it 
follows  with  at  least  equal  probability  that  it 
was  sent  to  the  church  in  .Jerusalem,  in  which

case  it  must  have  been  written  between  the 
martyrdom  of  St.  James  in  63  and  the  destruc- 
tion of  the  city  in  70  a.d. 

The  epistle  is  anonymous.  The  churches  of 
the  East,  as  a whole,  never  doubted  its  Pauline 
authorship.  Calvin  and  Erasmus  suggested  as 
the  author  Clement  of  Rome,  Luther  Apollos, 
while  others  have  attributed  it  to  St.  Luke  or  to 
Barnabas. 


The  author  calls  his  epistle  a “ word  of  exhor- 
tation ” (13.  22).  It  was,  indeed,  the  first  formal 
treatise  on  Christian  doctrine ; but  it  had  a prac- 
tical aim  — to  encourage  the  Hebrew  Christians 
to  find  the  fulfilment  of  all  their  hopes  in 
Christianitv,  and  to  move  them  to  renounce  the 
shadows  of  Judaism  for  the  realities  of  the 
gospel.

cient  city  in  the  high  mountains  of  Judah,  20 
miles  south  of  Jerusalem.  The  modern  town  of 
10,000  inhabitants  surrounds  what  is  supposed  to 
be  the  cave  of  Machpelah. 

HEDGEHOG  [hedge' -hog '1,  the  rendering  in 
Coverdale’s version  of  the  word  translated  “bit- 
tern” in  A.  V.  and  “ porcupine  ” in  IL  V.  (Isa.  14. 
23;  34.  11:  Zeph.  2. 14).  The  hedgehog  and  porcu- 
pine are  Doth  common  in  Palestine. 

HELLENISTS  [hel'len-ists],  Greek-speaking 
Jews,  in  Judaea  or  abroad,  many  of  whom  had 
adopted  a measure  of  Greek  (Hellenic)  culture 
and  manners  (Acts  6.  1 ; 9.  29). 

HEMLOCK  [hem'lock]  (Hos.  10. 4),  some  poison- 
ous cornfield  plant,  like  a poppy;  or  a wild 
gourd  {q.v.).  In  Amos  6.  12,  R.V.,  the  same 
word  is  rendered  “ wormwood  ” {q.v.). 

HENNA  [hen'na].  [See  Camphire.] 

HEROD  [her'od],  “the  Great,”  the  founder 
of  the  last  Jewish  dynasty,  was  the  son  of 
Antipater,  an  Idumaean,  who  had  been  the  As- 
monaean  governor  in  Edom,  and  who  rose  to 
a position  of  great  influence  as  the  minister 
of  Hyrcanus  II.,  the  last  Asmonsean  king  and 
high -priest.  Antipater  saw  that  the  future 
of  Jiutea  was  in  the  hands  of  Rome,  and  cun- 
ningly ingratiated  himself  first  with  Pompey, 
then,  after  his  death,  with  Julius  Caesar 
(who  rewarded  his  assistance  with  men  and 
money  in  Egypt  in  48  b.c.  by  making  him 
governor  of  J^udaea,  Samaria,  and  Galilee,  under 
the  nominal  sovereignty  of  Hyrcanus),  and 
finally,  after  Caesar’s  assassination  in  44  b.c., 
with  Cassius,  the  leader  of  the  Republican  party. 
Herod  consistently  followed  his  father’s  policy. 
Attaching  himself  in  turn  to  Pompey,  Julius 
Caesar,  Cassius,  Antonius,  and  finally  Augustus, 
he  took  advantage  of  all  the  vicissitudes  of 
Roman  affairs,  and  saw  himself  at  last  the  “ con- 


federate king”  {rex  socius)  of  the  Roman  em- 
peror. A decree  of  the  Roman  senate  made  him 
king  of  Judaea  in  40  b.c.,  and  in  37  b.c.  he  married 
Mariamne,  granddaughter  of  Hyrcanus,  and, 
with  the  help  of  two  Roman  legions,  captured 
Jerusalem.  The  next  nine  years  he  spent  in 
strengthening  his  position.  He  executed  forty- 
five  members  (the  Sadducee  majority)  of  the 
Sanhedrin,  and  murdered  every  member  of  the 
Asmonaean  house,  the  last  his  wife  Mariamne. 
The  next  fourteen  years  (28-14  b.c.)  were  chiefly 
devoted  to  the  erection  of  public  buildings,  in- 
cluding a theatre  in  Jerusalem,  and  a great 
amphitheatre  outside  the  gates,  besides  numer- 
ous heathen  temples  at  other  places,  and  new 
cities,  the  chief  of  which  was  Caesarea,  named 
after  the  emperor.  His  greatest  work  was  the 
rebuilding  of  the  temple  {q.v.).  But  the  golden 
eagle,  the"  svmbol  of  Roman  supremacy,  which 
he  placed  over  its  chief  entrance,  was  to  the 
people  a continual  reminder  of  the  hated  Idu- 
maean’s subservience  to  Rome.  All  the  material 
advantages  of  his  despotic  rule,  the  tranquillity 
of  the  country,  and  his  remissions  of  taxation, 
encouragement  of  trade  and  agriculture,  and 
provision  for  the  poor  in  time  of  scarcity,  were 
forgotten ; his  life  was  constantly  threatened  by 
conspiracies,  which  he  met  by  the  activity  of  a 
secret  police  and  the  most  cruel  torture.  In  the 
year  7 b.c.  he  caused  Alexander  and  Aristobulus, 
his  two  sons  by  Mariamne,  to  be  strangled  at 
Samaria,  a crime  which  led  Augustus  to  remark 
that  he  would  rather  be  one  of  Herod’s  swine 
than  one  of  his  sons.  Another  son,  Antipater, 
who  had  attempted  his  father’s  life,  was  exe- 
cuted five  days  before  the  death  of  Herod  in  4 me. 
His  sons  shared  his  dominions  according  to  his 
will.  The  elder,  Archelaus,  ethnarch  of  Judaea, 
Samaria,  and  Idumaea,  was  deposed  by  Augustus

for  misgovernment  in  6 a.d.,  and  died  in  Gaul. 
The  eastern  and  northern  provinces  fell  to  Philip, 
who  died  in  34  a.d,  Herod  Antipas,  who  received 
Galilee  and  Pergea,  was  deposed  by  Caligula  in 
39  A.D.  The  Herod  of  Acts  12  was  a grandson  of 
Herod  “ the  Great,”  and  was  surnamed  Agrippa. 
He  obtained  from  Caligula  the  inheritance  of 
Philip,  and  also  that  of  Antipas,  to  which 
Claudius  added  Judaea  and  Samaria,  so  that  from 


41  to  44  A.D.  he  ruled  over  the  whole  of  Palestine. 
He  succeeded  by  hypocritical  art  in  gaining 
the  confidence  of  the  people.  His  son,  Herod 
Agrippa  II.  (Acts  ch.  25  and  26),  after  doing  all 
in  his  power  to  dissuade  the  Jews  from  making 
war  against  the  Romans,  took  their  side  against 
his  countrymen,  and  after  Jerusalem  was  taken, 
he  lived  chiefly  at  Tiberias  as  a Roman  vassal 
prince,  till  he  died  childless  in  100  a.d.

HERODIANS  [he-ro'di-ans],  a political  and 
non-patriotic  minority,  in ' the  main  a court- 
party,  which  stood  to  the  Idumaean  dynasty  of 
the  Herods  in  Galilee  much  as  the  Sadduc*an 
nobility  stood  to  the  Roman  procurator  in  Judaea. 
They  made  less  pretence,  hov/ever,  of  aiming 
higher  than  at  worldly  prosperity.  Their  natural 
enemies  were  the  strict  Pharisees : and  it  is  a 
mark  of  the  shifts  to  which  both  parties  were 
driven  in  their  hatred  of  Jesus,  that  they  united 
to  work  His  ruin  (Mark  3.  6 ; Mat.  22.  16).  The 
“leaven  of  Herod”  (Mark  8.  15)  was  worldly 
wisdom. 

HEXAPLA  [h6x'a-pla].  The  great  Christian 
scholar  Origen,  in  Alexandria,  in  the  early  part 
of  the  third  century,  arranged  the  extant  transla- 
tions of  the  Old  Testament  side  by  side  in  parallel 
columns  for  the  purpose  of  study,  and  with 
them  he  placed  the  Hebrew  text  and  a transliter- 
ation of  the  Hebrew  text  into  Greek  letters.  The 
translations  given  are  the  LXX.,  and  those  of 
Aquila,  a Jewish  proselyte  from  Pontus  (be- 
ginning of  second  century),  Theodotion,  a Jewish 
proselyte  from  Ephesus  (later  half  of  second 
century),  and  Symmachus,  an  Ebionite  (end  of 
second  century).  The  entire  work  he  called  the 
Hexdpla  (or  six-fold),  on  account  of  the  six 
columns  into  which  each  page  was  divided. 

If  this  work  of  Origen  had  come  down  to  us, 
we  should  have  had  three  Greek  translations 
to  compare  with  the  Septuagint  (,q.v.).  Un- 


fortunately, there  is  nothing  preserved  beyond  a 
number  of  quotations. 

HIDDEKEL  [hid'de-kel].  [See  Eden.] 
HIGH-PLACE  [high'-plafe'],  a hill  or  artificial 
mound  used  for  worship  and  sacrifice  to  a local 
deity.  The  command  to  throw  down  the  high- 
places  (Num.  33.  52)  was  very  imperfectly  obeyed, 
and  both  kings  and  people  sacrificed  on  them 
(1  Kings  3.  2;  2 Chr.  28.  4,  etc.).  The  prophets 
protested  with  indignation  against  such  worship 
(Hos.  10.  8,  etc.),  and  reforming  kings  showed 
their  zeal  by  destroying  them  (2  Kings  18.  4). 

HIGH-PRIeST  [high'-priest'].  [See  under 
Priests.] 

HINNOM  [hln'nom],  [See  Jerusalem.] 
HITTITES  [hi t'tites],  first  mentioned  by  Sargon 
of  Agade  (about  3800  b.c.),  came  from  the  Taurus 
mountains,  and  at  an  early  date  conquered  part  of 
Northern  Syria.  They  made  Carchemish  on  the 
Euphrates  one  of  their  capitals,  and  established 
themselves  in  Kadesh  near  Emesa.  After  many 
years  of  war,  Ramses  II.  of  Egypt  made  a treaty 
of  peace  with  the  Hittite  icing  in  1365  b.(3. 
Hittites  had  previously  settled  in  the  south  of 
Palestine,  at  Hebron  (Gen.  23.  3)  and  Jerusalem 
(Ezek.  16.  3).  It  is  the  northern  Hittites  whose 
kings  are  referred  to  in  1 Kings  10.  29  and  2 
Kings  7.  6 (see  also  Judg.  1.  26  and  1 Kings  11.  1). 

The  Hittite  power,  which  in  the  time  of 
Ramses  II.  seems  to  have  extended  over  the 
greater  part  of  Asia  Minor  as  well  as  over  North-

HIVITES  [hi 'vites],  the  “villagers”  of  Pales- 
tine as  opposed  to  the  townsfolk  (Josh.  11.3; 
Judg.  3.  3;  2 Sam.  24.  7). 

HOLY  GHOST  [ho'ly  ghostj,  HOLY  SPIRIT  [ho'ly 
sptr'It].  The  “ Spirit  of  (lod  ” is  often  referred 
to  in  the  Old  Testament  (Oen.  1.  2;  (5.  3;  Isa.  40. 
13,  etc.),  but  it  is  in  the  New  Testament  that 
He  becomes  clearly  revealed  as  a Person  in  the 
Godhead.  He  is  there  called  “the  Spirit” 
(Gal.  3.  2),  “the  Holy  Spirit”  (Eph.  1.  13), 
“ Spirit  of  Truth  ” (John  14.  1<).  “ Spirit  of  the 
Lord”  (Acts  8.  39),  “Spirit  of  Christ”  (Rom. 
8.  9),  “Spirit  of  God”  (1  Cor.  2.  11),  Comforter 
(q.v.),  and  Advocate  (q.v.).  He  is  “ the  Lord,  the 
Giver  of  Life”  (c/'.  John  6.  63),  first  of  natural 
(Job.  26.  13 ; Ps.  104.  30)  and  then  of  spiritual  life 
(John  3.  5;  Tit.  3.  5).  Equal  honor  with  the 
Father  and  with  the  Son  is  ascribed  to  Him 
in  Mat.  28. 19 ; 2 Cor.  13. 14.  Throughout  the  New 
Testament  the  American  revisers  wouhl  for 
“Holy  Ghost”  adopt  uniformly  the  rendering 
“ Holy  Spirit.” 

HORNET  [hor'net]  (Ex.  23.  28 ; Deut.  7.  20 ; Josh. 
24.  12).  Hornets  belong  to  the  same  order  of 
insects  as  bees  and  wasps,  and  are  closely  allied 
to  the  latter.  All  these  insects  have  four  wings ; 
they  wound  by  a sting  lodged  in  the  end  of  the 
abdomen,  and'  inject  a poisonous  fluid  into  the 
wound. 

HORSE  [horse].  The  horse  is  not  depicted  on 
Egyptian  monuments  before  the  Eighteenth 
Dynasty.  Except  in  Isa.  28. 28,  the  horse  is  never 
mentioned  in  the  Old  Testament  but  in  connec- 
tion with  war.  It  was  the  important  arm  of  the 
Egvptian,  Assyrian,  and  Hittite  armies.  David 
and  Solomon  first  began  to  use  cavalry  and  chari- 
ots, Solomon  procuring  his  horses  from  Egypt. 

HORSELEECH  [horse'leech]  (Prov.  30.  1.5).  The 
horseleech  (hteviopis  sanguisuga)  and  the  medic- 
inal leech  \hirudo  medicinalis)  are  both  com- 
mon in  Palestine,  as  well  as  several  other  kinds 
of  leeches.  Leeches  abound  in  waters  and  damp 
places  of  hot  countries,  and  frequently  become  a 
regular  pest,  attacking  men  and  animals  alike. 

HOSEA  [ho-se'a]  (“  salvation  ”)  was  the  last  of 
the  great  prophets  of  the  northern  kingdom.  Ch. 
1-3  were  written  about  748  b.c.,  and  ch.4-14  about 
734  B.c.  Hosea  (3.  4)  predicts  the  coming  Cap- 
tivity with  more  definiteness  than  had  been  done 
by  Amos.  The  situation  was  complicated  by  the 
policy  of  an  alliance  with  Egypt  : he  warns  his 
people  against  it.  The  moral  condition  of  the 
community  is  shown,  by  the  allusions  of  the  pro- 
phet, to  have  kept  pace  in  its  degeneration  with 


the  decay  and  dissolution  of  the  nation.  Ch.  1-3 
have  to  do  with  the  painful  and  pathetic  iier- 
sonal  history  of  Hosea,  which  he  uses  to  symbo- 
lize Jehovah’s  separation  from  His  people,  and 
their  restoration  to  the  privileges  of  His  wor- 
ship and  favor;  ch.  4-6  charge  gross  iniquity 
against  the  people,  priests,  and  princes;  ch.  7-10 
threaten  punishment,  culminating  in  exile  (9.  3, 
6;  10.  5,  6);  ch.  11-13  are  full  of  hopeful  remon- 
strance and  tender  expostulation;  and  ch.  14 
consists  of  entreaty  and  rich  promises  of  bless- 
ing as  the  result  of  repentance. 

The  book  is  an  abstract  of  numerous  dis- 
courses, extending  over  many  years.  Hosea  is 
the  most  subjective  and  individual  of  the  proph- 
ets. Manv  of  his  passages  are  odes  or  dirges. 
In  “ tragic  pathos”  he  is  unexcelled.  His  dis- 
courses are  full  of  pregnant  observations  on  life 
and  manners,  as  well  as  of  moral  reflections 
epigrammatically  expressed.  [See  Minor  Pro- 
phets.] 

HOUSE  (Heb.  beth,  common  in  compound 
names  of  places,  e-.g.  Beth-el).  The  nomad’s 
house  was  his  tent.  The  settled  Hebrew  dwelt 
generally  in  a one -story  building  with  few  and 
small  windows,  built  of  stones  and  mud,  and  flat- 
roofed.  Here  both  the  family  and  the  animals 
found  shelter,  a raised  dais  separating  the  two. 
But,  except  in  bad  weather,  they  spent  their  day 
either  in  the  open  field  or  on  the  house-roof, 
where  they  also  slept.  ....... 

HY.®NA  [hy-e’na].  “ Speckled  bird,”  A.  V.  and 
B.V.  (Jer.  12.  9),  is  probably  the  hyaena,  as  in 
LXX.  Zeboim  (1  Sam.  13.  18)  means  “ valley  of 
hyaenas.”  , ^ 

‘HYKSOS  kings  . [See  Abr  ah  A M and  Egypt.] 

HYSSOP  [hys'sop],  a plant  growing  on  walls 
and  rocks,  with  hairy  leaves  and  branches,  used 
for  sprinkling  (Ex.  12.  22;  Ps.  51.  7 ; John  19.  29; 
Heb.  9.  19-22). 


I 

IMMANUEL  [im-man'G-el]  (“God  with  us”), 
the  name  of  the  child  whose  birth  was  proph- 
esied in  Isa.  7.  14  and  8.  8,  in  which  passages 
St.  Matthew  (1.  23)  finds  a prophecy  of  the  birth 
of  Christ. 

INGATHERING  [in'gath'er-Ing],  Feast  of.  [See 
Feasts.] 

IRON  [iTirn]  (Heb.  barzel,  Gr.  sideros).  Proba- 
bly this  metal  is  not  always  meant  (see  also 
Adamant),  for  its  ores  are  scarce  in  Palestine. 
It  was,  however,  known  to  the  Hebrews  at  a 
very  early  date,  and  the  art  of  tempering  it  and 
making  steel  gradually  was  acquired.  Most,  if 
not  all,  of  the  iron  in  use  must  have  been  im- 
ported. It  occurs,  however,  in  parts  of  Sinai, 
Egypt,  and  Assyria. 

ISAAC  [i'saae]  (Heb.  “laugher”),  son  of  Abra- 
ham (q.v.)  and  Sarah,  and  half-brother  of  Ish- 
mael,  was  born  when  his  parents  were  advanced 
in  age.  By  his  wife  Rebekah  he  was  the  father 
of  Jacob  and  Esau.  He  died  at  Hebron,  a hun- 
dred and  eighty  years  old. 

ISAIAH  [T-sa'iah]  (“Jehovah  is  salvation  ). 
The  Book  of  Isaiah  is  named  from  Isaiah,  the 
son  of  Amoz,  who  prophesied  in  the  reigns  of 
! Uzziah,  Jotham,  Ahaz,  and  Hezekiah,  kings  of 
Judah  (Isa.  1.  1,  etc.).  Tradition  says  that  he 
survived  into  the  reign  of  Manasseh,  and  was 
martyred  by  him. 

Isaiah  abounds  in  allusions  to  Babylon,  Elam, 

! and  Media.  He  advocated  the  policy  of  the 
j separateness  of  Israel,  opposing  the  Assyrian 
alliance  of  Ahaz,  and  equally  opposing  all 
alliances  with  the  neighboring  peoples,  or  with 
Egypt,  or  with  the  Babylonian-Elamitic  com- 
bination against  Assyria*.  During  his  life  the 
Assyrian  and  Babylonian  empires  were  part  of 
the  time  identical  — the  great  oppressing  power ; 
and  part  of  the  time  Babylon  was  a dangerous

seducer,  striving  to  lead  the  chosen  people  into 
disastrous  hostilities  with  Assyria. 

The  book,  as  it  stands,  consists  of  two  princi- 
pal parts,  the  first  containing  thirty-nine  chap- 
ters, and  the  second  twenty-seven. 

The  first  part  contains  five  groups  of  proph- 
ecies:. first,  the  introductory  discourse  (ch.  1. 
1);  second,  four  prophecies  (ch.  2-4,  5,  6,  7-12); 
third,  a series  of  “Burdens”  on  Babylon,  Phi- 
listia,  Moab,  etc.  (ch.  13-23)  ; fourth,  other 
prophecies  (ch.  24-35);  fifth,  a historical  sketch 
and  included  messages  (ch.  36-39). 

The  second  part  is  divided  into  three  divisions 
by  the  phrase,  “ No  peace  to  the  wicked,”  clos- 
ing ch.  48  and  ch.  57.  Each  of  these  divisions  has 
three  subdivisions,  and  each  of  the  subdivisions 
is  resolvable  into  three  separate,  though  often 
closely  connected,  parts,  the  whole  forming  one 
of  the  finest  poems  existing  in  any  language. 

The  theme  of  ch.  40-66  is  the  Servant  of  Jehovah. 
The  Servant  is  Israel,  yet  not  the  political  Israel, 
but  Israel  the  people  chosen  by  God  for  the  sake 
of  mankind.  The  Servant  is  sometimes  a typical 
Israelite;  and,  as  the  work  is  written  from  the 
point  of  view  of  a tyi^ical  Israelite,  it  is  some- 
times not  easy  to  distinguish  the  writer  himself 
from  the  Servant.  The  New  Testament  authors, 
finding  the  mission  of  Israel  consummated  in 
Jesus  Christ,  regard  Him  as  in  the  highest  sense 
the  only  typical  Israelite,  and  apply  to  Him 
whatever  is  said  concerning  the  Servant. 

Where  prophecy  is  thought  of  as  essentially 
equivalent  to  prediction,  these  twenty-seven 
chapters  are  regarded  as  a prolonged  predic- 
tion of  Cyrus  and  his  times  by  Isaiah,  the  son 
of  Amoz.  Another  opinion  regards  them  as 
written  in  the  time  of  Cyrus  by  a prophet  who 
is  sometimes  spoken  of  as  the  Great  Unknown, 
or  as  the  Second  Isaiah. 

Every  part  of  the  book  pre-supposes  the 
doctrine  that  Israel  was  a people  chosen  to 
fulfil  God’s  purpose  for  the  nations,  and  that 
God  had  made  a promise  to  Abraham,  to  Israel, 
to  David,  — a promise  conditional  in  some  of  its 
aspects  on  Israel’s  obedience,  but  in  itself 
irrevocable  and  eternally  operative;  a promise 
which  connected  itself  with  the  day  of  the  Lord 
always  impending,  with  the  last  days,  with  the 
birth  of  a promised  Seed,  with  an  endless  king- 
dom, with  a holy  anointing;  a promise  in  virtue 
of  which  there  should  at  last  be  universal  peace 
on  earth,  with  universal  righteousness. 

ISHMAEL  [Ish'ma-el].  [See  Abraham.] 
ISHMAELITES  [Ish'ma-el-ites]  occupied  the 
central  part  of  Arabia.  The  Koreish  of  Mecca,  the 
tribe  of  Mohammed,  was  descended  from  them. 
One  of  their  twelve  tribes  was  the  Nabathseans. 
Some  of  the  tribes  spoke  Aramaic,  but  the  lan- 
guage of  the  larger  part  of  them  was  Arabic. 

ISRAEL  [Is'ra-el]  (“  he  who  striveth  with  God,  ” 
or  “God  striveth,”  Gen.  32.  28,  li.V.  margin), 
the  new  name  which  Jacob  received  after  his 
mysterious  struggle  at  the  Jabbok,  and  hence  the 
name  of  the  whole  people  descended  from  him. 
The  name  “ Hebrews  ” was  mostly  applied  to  them 
by  foreigners;  as  was  also  the  name  “Jews,” 
which  arose  at  the  time  when  Judah,  after  the 
fall  of  the  northern  kingdom,  represented  the 
entire  people.  After  the  separation  under  Jero- 
boam, the  name  Israel  was  confined  to  the  king- 
dom of  the  ten  tribes,  also  called  Ephraim  after 
thc  chief  of  these.  Moral  and  religious  degen- 
eracy, with  frequent  revolutions  and  changes  of 
rulers,  prepared  its  fall  (772  b.c  ).  The  Assyrians 
led  the  best  of  the  people  in  exile,  from  which 
they  never  returned,  and  the  remnant  left  were 
included  in  the  mixed  people  known  as  the 
Samaritans  {q.v.). 

ISTAR.  [See  Ashtorkth.] 

ITALY  [It'a-ly],  the  peninsula  in  the  middle  of 
Southern  Europe.  The  name  was  applied  at  dif-  ‘ 
erent  i)eriods  to  the  whole  peninsula  and  to  the  i 
southern  part  (Acts  18.  2;  27. 1,  6;  Heb.  13.  24).  I 


J 

JACINTH  [ja’Qinth]  (Gr.  hyakmthos).  The 
; modern  jacinth  or  hyacinth  is  a variety  of  zir- 
I con  (zirconium  silicate),  but  the  name  was 
; anciently  applied,  so  far  as  can  be  determined. 

to  a variety  of  sapphire.  The  zircon  is  of  a 
: reddish  or  yellowish  color,  and  harder  than  steel. 

JACOB  [ja’eob]  (Heb.  “ cheater  ”;  according  to 
I others,  “reinforcement,”  “straggler”),  son  of 
Isaac  and  Rebekah,  and  father  of  the  people  of 
Israel,  gained  by  craft  the  birthright  and  bless- 
, mg  which  his  father  meant  for  his  brother  Esau. 
He  fled  to  his  uncle  Laban,  who  treated  him  with 
cunning  equal  to  his  own.  Yet  he  enriched  him- 
self  in  Laban’s  service,  and  Laban’s  daughters, 

I Leah  and  Rachel,  became  his  wives.  On  his 
I return,  after  the  mysterious  struggle  in  the 
1 darkness  of  night  at  the  Jabbok,  his  name  w*as 
j changed  to  Israel  (see  R.  V.  Gen.  32.  28),  and  he 
1 was  reconciled  to  Esau.  His  old  age  was  made 
sorrowful  by  evil  deeds  of  his  sons,  till  at  last  he 
i found  a refuge  in  Egypt  with  his  favorite 
Joseph. 

JAMES  [james]  “ the  elder,”  son  of  Zebedee  and 
brother  of  St.  John,  one  of  the  Twelve,  was 
martyred  under  Herod  Agrippa  (44  a.d.).— 
James  “ the  younger,”  son  of  Alphaeus,  was  also 
an  apostle.  — St.  James  “the  brother  of  the 
Lord”  was  a “pillar”  in  the  church  at  Jerusa- 
lem (Gal.  2.  9),  and  had  probably  been  led  to  be- 
lieve by  a special  appearance  of  our  Lord  to  him 
(1  Cor.  15.  7).  His  judgment  prevailed  in  the 
council  at  Jerusalem  (Acts  15.  13-29).  For  his 
piety  he  was  called  “ James  the  Just.”  Accord- 
ing to  Josephus,  he  was  stoned  to  death  by 
order  of  Ananus  the  high  priest,  between  the 
departure  of  Festus  and  the  arrival  of  the  new 
procurator  Albinus  (probably  in  63  a.d.). 

His  letter  “ to  the  twelve  tribes  which  are  of 
the  Dispersion”  (1.  1,  R.V.)  consists  mainly  of 
moral  precepts,  added  to  each  other  without  any 
obvious  plan.  Hence  it  has  been  called  “ The 
Christian  Book  of  Proverbs.” 

Some  date  the  epistle  before  the  council  at 
Jerusalem  (50  a.d.);  others  shortly  before  the 
writer’s  death.  The  former  view  makes  it  the 
earliest  written  book  of  the  New  Testament ; 
the  errors  combated  point  to  the  later  date. 
This  places  the  letter  after  the  earlier  group  of 
Pauline  epistles,  but  does  not  necessarily  involve 
any  reference  to  them.  Jerusalem  was  probably 
the  place  of  writing. 

JASPER  [jas’per]  (Heb.  yalisepheth,  Gr.  iaspis). 
A variety  of  the  chalcedony  (q.v.)  richly  colored 
(red,  deep  green,  or  brown)  and  opaque ; but  in 
ancient  times  the  term  was  applied  to  translu- 
cent kinds,  or  in  other  words  to  colored  chalced- 
ony or  agate  (q.v.). 

JEBUSITES  [jeb'u-sites],  the  tribe  which  oc- 
cupied Jerusalem  at  the  time  of  the  Israeli  tish 
conquest  of  Canaan.  They  seem  to  ha  ve  been  of 
the  Amorite  race  (Josh.  1().  5,  6).  In  Num.  13.  29 
they  are  classed  with  the  Hittites  and  Amorites 
as  dwelling  in  “the  mountains”  or  “hill- 
country.” 

JEHOVAH  [je-bo'vah],  the  name  of  the  God 
of  Israel,  in  the  English  Bible,  as  in  the  LXX. 
and  the  Greek  New  Testament,  translate<l 
“ Lord”  (Gr.  Kyrio.s,  Heb.  Adottaj)  . The  Jews, 
out  of  reverence  for  the  holy ‘name,  shrank 
from  pronouncing  it,  and  wherever  it  occurs 
in  the  Old  Testament,  read  “Adonai”;  and 
this  practice,  which  prevailed  from  at  least 
the  third  century  b.c.,  influenced  the  trans- 
lators. When  at  a later  date  the  text,  which 
originally  consisted  of  consonants  alone  with- 
out the  connecting  vowels,  was  provided  with 
vowel-marks,  the  scribes  then  attached  to  the 
four  consonants  of  the  ineffable  name  JHVH 
the  vowels  of  Adonav,  to  indicate  that  the  name 
Adonai  was  to  be  uttered  by  the  reader.  Chris- 
tian theologians,  from  about  1500  a.d.,  put  the

consonants  of  the  original  name  along  with  the 
vowels  of  the  substituted  name,  and  thus  pro- 
duced the  name  “Jehovah.”  The  original  pro- 
nunciation of  the  name  JHVH  was  probably 
Yahweh,  an  abbreviation  of  which  appears  in 
the  last  syllable  of  hallelujah,  and  of  about  two 
hundred  proper  names  compounded  with  jah 
Azar-iah,  properly  pronounced  Azar-yah,  “the 
Lord  hath  helped  ”).  The  R.  V.  (Ex  3.  15)  notes 
that  the  name  is  from  the  same  root  as  Heb.

TEPHTHAH  [jeph'thah],  of  Gilead,  a judge  in 
Israel  (Judg.  11.  1-12.  7 ; Heb.  11.  32).  An  illegit- 
imate son,  he  was  driven  from  home  by  his 
father’s  heirs,  and  lived  the  life  of  a freebooter 
in  the  land  of  Tob,  east  of  Jordan,  till  the  elders 
of  the  tribes  summoned  him  to  their  help 
agkinst  the  Amorites,  who  had  oppressed  them 
for  eighteen  years.  Returning  a conqueror,  he 
sacrificed  his  daughter,  his  only  child,  in  fulfil- 
ment of  a thoughtless  vow. 

JEREMIAH  [jere-mi'ah]  (“Jehovah  reject- 
eth”).  Jeremiah’s  prophesying  began  in  the 
thirteenth  year  of  Josiah,  626  b.c.  (Jer.  1.  2;  25. 1, 
3),  and  covered  the  time  following  to  the  Exile. 
He  was  of  priestly  descent  (1. 1).  His  prophetic 
career  began  at  an  early  age  (1.  6).  In  later  years 
he  was  the  leader  of  a small  minority  in  Judah 
against  three  great  wrongs  — the  religious  apos- 
tasies of  his  people,  their  neglect  of  justice,  and 
the  false  patriotism  that  led  them  to  break  faith 
by  repeated  revolts  against  Babylon.  His  ser- 
vices in  this  last  matter  were  recognized  by 
the  Babylonian  authorities  (31).  11-14;  40. 1-5). 

We  have  an  account  (ch.  36)  of  the  writing  of 
certain  of  Jeremiah’s  prophecies,  from  dictation, 
by  his  friend  Baruch. 

Tiiis  seems  to  imply 
that  these  prophecies 
had  been  originally  ut- 
tered without  writing. 

As  the  roll  of  Baruch 
included  “all”  the  pro- 
phecies for  twenty- 
three  years,  besides 
“manv  like  words” 

(36.  2,  32),  we  are  com- 
pelled to  infer  that 
most  of  the  prophecies 
it  contained  were  very 
briefly  sketched. 

Jeremiahs  mission 
was  to  testify  to  a 
doomed  people,  and 
then  to  witness  their 
obduracy  and  then- 
doom  ; but  common 
opinion  probably  ex-  , 
aggerates  the  sorrow- 
ful element  in  the 
career  of  the  “weeping- 
prophet.”  It  should  be 
noticed  that  he  pro- 
phesied concerning  the 
return  from  the  Exile, 
as  well  as  concerning 
the  Exile  itself  {e.g.  24. 

5-7  ; 29-33).  It  was  es- 
pecially his  prophecies  that  actually  led  the  ex- 
iles to  the  movement  for  return  (Dan.  9.  2;  2 
Chr.  36.  21;  Ezra  1.  1). 

Jeremiah  insists  especially  upon  the  Lord’s  un- 
failing covenant  with  Israel  and  with  David  {e.g. 
31.  31-.37 ; 33).  He  gives  shape  to  the  doctrine  of 
a righteous  “ Braneh  ” to  grow  up  unto  David 
(23.  5;  33.  15).  Like  the  other  prophets,  Jere- 
miah is  a prophet  not  merely  of  rebuke  and 
warning,  but  also  of  the  Messianic  promise  and 
hope.

which  have  now  disappeared. 

JEROBOAM  [jer'o-bo'am],  the  son  of  Nebat, 
the  founder  of  the  northern  kingdom  of  Israel, 
took  advantage  of  the  other  tribes’  envy  of  Judah 
and  Jerusalem,  and  the  general  discontent  with 
Solomon’s  oppressive  taxation,  to  revolt  against 
him.  After  the  death  of  Solomon,  on  his  son 
Rehoboam’s  blunt  refusal  to  lighten  the  people’s 
burdens,  Jeroboam  became  the  leader  of  the  ten 
northern  tribes  in  their  separation  (variously 
dated  from  985  to  937  b.c.).  The  re-establishment 
of  the  “high  places”  (q.v.)  served  to  lend  the 
political  change  a religious  consecration.  Golden 
calves,  ox  images,  similar  to  that  which  Aaron 
made  in  the  wilderness,  were  set  up  at  Dan  in  the 
north  and  Bethel  on  the  southern  frontier  of 
Jeroboam’s  kingdom,  to  win  the  people  away 
from  the  Temple  at  Jerusalem,  where  God  was 
worshipped  without  images. 

Jeroboam  II.  (2  Kings  14. 13-29),  ruled  the  king- 
dom of  Israel  from  790  to  749  B.c.  (according  to 
another  reckoning,  from  781  to  741).  He  con- 
quered in  the  north  and  east  all  the  lands  that 
had  belonged  to  David  and  Solomon,  and  en- 
couraged trade  with  the  Phoenicians ; but  in  his 
reign  the  Baal- worship  which  Jehu  had  extir- 
pated again  arose,  bringing  with  it  the  moral 
corruption  in  which  Amos  and  Hosea  foresaw 
the  ruin  of  the  king’s  house  and  of  the  nation 
(Amos  7.  7-15;  Hos.  1-3). 

JERUSALEM  [je-ru'sa-lem]  stood  on  the  spurs 
running  south  f rom "the  watershed  of  J udaea,  the 
site  being  naturally  strong  except  on  the  north- 
west. The  water  supply  was  from  an  intermittent 
spring,  and  from  rock-cut  tanks.  The  town  oc- 
cupied two  hills,  and  the  Temple  stood  on  a third

ridge  to  the  east,  divided  from  the  range  of  Oli- 
vet on  its  east  by  the  deep  gorge  of  the  Kidron, 
or  valley  of  Jehoshaphat.  The  Hinnom  Valley, 
starting  on  the  west  and  curving  round  to  meet 
the  Kidron,  formed  a deep  ravine,  bounding  on 
the  west  and  south  the  high  flat  hill  of  the  uppei 
city,  the  north  and  east  sides  of  which  were  pro- 
tected by  a third  valley  joining  the  other  two  at 
their  junction.  This  third  valley  had  two  heads, 
a long  narrow  trench  running  north  and  sepa- 
rating Moriah  or  the  Ternple  ridge  fi’oni  the 
city,  while  a deep  and  wide  valley  (the  Tyro- 
poeon),  running  east  to  join  this  trench,  sepa- 
rated the  upper  city  from  the  smaller  and  lower

knoll  to  the  north,  called  Millo  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment, and  Akra  by  Greek  writers. 

J erusalem  is  first  mentioned  under  that  name 
in  the  Book  of  Joshua,  and  the  Tel  el-Amarna 
tablets  include  six  letters  from  its  Ambrite  king 
to  Egypt,  about  1400  b.c.  The  name  is  there 
s])elt  Uru-Salim.  (“city  of  peace”).  It  is  also 
named  in  Sennacherib’s  record  of  702  b.c. 

The  City  of  David  included  both  the  upper 
city  and  Millo,  and  was  surrounded  by  a wall 
built  by  David  and  Solomon.  The  name  Zion 
(or  Sion),  a poetical  term  for  Jerusalem,  was  in 
the  Greek  age  specially  used  of  the  Temple  Hill. 
The  priests’  quarter  grew  up  on  Ophel,  south 
of  the  Temple.  The  walls  of  the  city  were  | 


extended  by  Jotham  and  Manasseh  to  in- 
clude this  suburb  and  the  Temple  (2  Chr.  27.  3 ; 
33.  14). 

A large  rock-cut  tank  at  the  north-west  cor- 
ner of  the  upper  city,  called  in  later  times  the 
pool  Amygdalon  (“of  the  tower”),  seems  to  be 
the  Upper  Pool  of  Hezekiah’s  time  (Isa.  36.  2). 
The  pool  or  spring  of  Gihon,  in  the  Kidron  Val- 
ley under  Ophel,  was  the  same  as  En-Rogel 
(“  spring  of  the  water  channel  ”),  and  Hezekiah 
inade  from  it  a rock  aqueduct-tunnel  through 
the  hill  to  SiLOAM,  near  the  mouth  of  the  Tyro- 
po0on.  On  the  rock  near  the  mouth  of  this 
aqueduct  an  inscription  is  found  which  is  the 
only  true  Hebrew  text  as  yet  known ; —

Jerusalem 


built  on  the  north  side  of  the  upper  city,  divicl-  : 
ing  off  the  Greek  fortress  on  Akra,  and  running 
to  the  Temple  bridge. 

There  were  thus  in  the  time  of  Christ  two  lines 
of  wall,  one  all  round  Jerusalem,  and  one  divid- 
ing it  into  two  quarters.  The  remains  of  these 
walls  have  been  traced  on  the  west,  south,  and 
east.  The  old  line  crossed  the  Tyropceon,  leav- 
ing Siloam  outside  the  city.  Apippa’s  later 
wall,  to  protect  the  “ New  City”  farther  north, 
did  not  then  exist.  The  chief  buildings  of  that 
age  included  Herod’s  palace  in  the  north-west 
corner  and  the  palace  of  the  Asmona3ans  at  the 
north-east  corner  of  the  upper  city;  the  Xystus 
or  gymnasium  in  the  valley  under  the  latter* 
and  the  fortress  of  Antonia,  which  commanded 
the  Temple  at  the  north-east  corner  of  the  north 
wall.  . , 

The  Temple  itself  stood  on  the  highest  part 
of  the  ridge  — now  occupied  by  the  Dome  of  the 


Pillar  in  Quarry  near  Jerusalem. 

(From  a Photograph.) 

Supposed  to  have  been  prepared  for  one  of  the  temples. 

Rock  — with  courts  on  the  flat  slopes.  The 
outer  court  was  roughly  a square  of  1,000  feet 
side.  The  Court  of  Israel,  and  inner  Court  of 
the  Priests,  lay  east  of  the  holy  house,  divided 
off  by  a balustrade  with  Greek  texts  — one  of 
which  has  been  found.  It  reads : — 

“ No  stranger  is  to  enter  within  the  balustrade 
round  the  Temple  and  Court.  Whoso  is  fouml 
will  be  guilty  of  his  own  death  to  follow.” 

The  upper  ramparts  (except  at  the  north-west 


corner),  the  holy  house  itself,  the  cloisters,  and 
the  Tyropceon  bridge  at  the  south-weSt  angle, 
have  been  entirely  destroyed,  only  the  fallen 
arch  and  pier  foundations  of  the  last  having 
been  found  by  excavation. 

There  were  four  entrances  on  the  west,  two 
by  bridges,  two  by  gates  on  the  lower  valley 
level,  all  still  extant  in  ruins,  or  with  later  resto- 
rations. On  the  south  two  outer  gates  (the 
Huldah  Gates)  led  from  Ophel;  the  western, 
which  was  double,  retains  its  great  pillars  and 
flat  domes  with  the  semi -Greek  ornament  of 
Herod’s  time;  the  eastern  was  triple,  and  exists 
as  restored  by  Justinian.  The  “ Golden  Gate,” 
near  the  north-east  corner  of  the  outer  wall,  also 
belongs,  as  at  present  existing,  to  Justinian’s 
age.  On  the  north  the  Gate  Tadi,  leading  to 
Antonia,  Avas  reached  by  a rock-cut  passage,  still 
existing,  but  converted  into  a tank  by  a cross 
wall. 

The  Temple  was  supplied  with  water  by  num- 
erous rock-cut  reservoirs,  and  by  Pilate’s  aque- 
duct from  Bethlehem.  Over  the  “Stone  of 
Foundation,”  a natural  rock,  projecting  under 
the  floor  of  the  Holy  of  Holies,  the  present  Dome 
of  the  Rock  was  built  in  688  a.d. 

Calvary  or  Golgotha.— North  of  the  city, 
just  outside  the  present  Damascus  Gate,  is  the 
remarkable  knoll  with  the  cave  known  as  “Jere- 
miah’s Grotto.”  This  is  most  probably  the  true 
site  of  Calvary  or  Golgotha  (“  the  place  of  the 
skull”),  which  was  near  Jerusalem  (John  19. 
17-20),  but  without  the  gate  (Heb.  13.  12).  A 
Jewish  rock-cut  tomb  has  been  found  imme- 
diately west  of  the  knoll. 

The\liscovery  of  the  ancient  wall,  immediately 
west  of  the  pool  Amygdaloii,  on  the  narrow  neck 
of  high  ground  between  the  heads  of  the  Hin- 
nom  and  Tyropceon  valleys,  and  running  for 
some  distance  north,  renders  it  improbable  that 
the  rocky  knoll,  now  shown  in  the  cathedral 
within  modern  Jerusalem,  can  be  the  true  site  of 
Calvary,  or  the  tomb  near  it  the  true  Holy  Sep- 
ulchre. The  second  Avail  seems  to  have  included 
these  sites,  which  have  been  revered  since  they 
were  fixed  on  bv  Constantine  in  the  fourth  cen- 
tury A.D.,  when  all  memory  of  the  true  sites 
appears  — according  to  Eusebius  — to  have  been 
lost.  The  suburbs  of  Jerusalem  extended  far 
beyond  this  knoll  of  Akra,  and  probabb  existed 
at  the  time  of  the  Crucifixion;  but  it  has  not  as 
yet  been  found  possible  to  trace  the  line  of  the 
second  wall  on  the  north  side. 

Among  monuments  of  the  Herodian  and  Ro- 
man age  mav  be  mentioned  the  tomb  of  the 
kings  of  Adiabene  (commonly  called  “Tomb  of 
the  Kings”)  on  the  north;  the  tomb  of  Herod’s 
family,  recenth'  found  v.*est  of  the  Hinnom 
Valley;  the  tomb  of  Ananus  on  the  south  side  ot 
the  lower  Hinnom  ravine  near  its  junction  with 
the  Kidron;  and  the  tomb  of  the  Bene  Hezir 
priests  (called  “ Tomb  of  St.  James  ”)  on  the  east 
side  of  the  Kidron,  with  other  monuments  of 
the  same  period  (called  “ Tomb  of  Absalom  and 
“ Tomb  of  ZecLariah  ”),  in  a debased  Greek  style. 

The  site  of  Aceldama  (“  the  field  of  blood, 
or  “potter’s  field”)  is  traditionally  shoAvn  at  a 
vault  on  the  hill  south  of  the  Hinnom  Valley. 
The  site  of  Tophet  is  also  uncertain,  but  lay  in 
the  lower  Kidron.  The  exact  site  of  Gethsemane 
is  also  doubtful.  The  tomb  of  the  kings  of 
Israel  and  Judah  was  still  known  about  30  a.d. 
(Acts  2.  29),  and  may  possibly  be  represented  by 
the  ancient  sepulchre  in  the  west  wall  of  the 
Holy  Sepulchre  Cathedral ; but  other  kings  were 
buried  on  Ophel  near  the  Royal  Palace  and 
King’s  Gardens.  , . . 

Jerusalem  is  now  a toAvn  of  some  50,000  inhabi- 
tants, with  ancient  mediseA'al  walls.  The  Ha- 
ditional  sites,  as  a rule,  have  no  authority.  The 
results  of  excavation  have  settled  the  limits  of 
the  Temple  area,  and  the  course  of  the  old  walls.

Gabriel’s  ‘jESUS  [je'sus],  LIFE  OF,  AND  HAR- 
Messages.  MONY  OF  THE  GOSPELS.  About  five 
years  before  the  beginning  of  the 
Christian  era,  an  aged  priest  named 
Zacharias  was  burning  incense  in  the 
Temple  when  the  angel  Gabriel  ap- 
peared and  told  him  that  a son  would 
be  born  to  him,  who,  being  filled  with 
the  Holy  Ghost,  should  go  before  the 
Lord  in  the  spirit  and  power  of  Elias, 
and  prepare  a people  for  Him. 

Some  months  later,  the  angel  an- 
nounced to  a maiden  in  Nazareth 
that,  by  the  power  of  the  Highest, 
she  should  bear  a son,  whose  name 
should  be  called  Jesus,  “the  Son  of 
God.”  Mary,  nothing  doubting,  vis- 
Lu.  1.26-33.  ited  her  cousin,  Elisabeth,  wife  of 
Zacharias,  in  the  hill  country  of  Ju- 
daea. There  the  two  women  rejoiced 
together,  Mary  magnifying  God  in  a 
song  of  wonderful  elevation,  dignity, 
and  beauty. 

John,  born  in  the  year  5 b.c.,  thor-  ^

Song  of  Zacharias  at  his  birth.  He 
should  be  “ called  the  prophet  of  the 
Highest:”  for  he  should  “go  before 
the  face  of  the  Lord  to  prepare  his 
ways.” 

Herod  the  Great  ruled  in  Palestine, 
holding  his  sceptre  at  the  will  of  the 
Emperor  Augustus.  An  Idumsean  by 
birth,  cruel  and  crafty  by  nature,  the 
Jews  hated  him.  But  behind  the 
standards  of  Herod  blazed  the  splen- 
dors of  the  Roman  eagles.  And  a 
general  registration  of  the  inhabit- 
ants of  the  empire  being  ordered,  it 
took  effect  throughout  the  dominions 
of  Herod. 

If  there  be  any  honor  or  ad- 
vantage therein.  Orientals  carefully 
guard  their  citizenship  in  the  place 
of  their  birth.  A Christian  born  in 
Nazareth,  wherever  he  may  live,  will 
proudly  maintain  his  standing  in  the 
city  of  his  Saviour’s  boyhood,  and  re- 
joice in  the  name  of  Nasrdny,  “a 
Nazarine.”  Joseph,  the  husband  of 
Mary,  a carpenter  in  Nazareth,  was 
a native  of  Bethlehem.  Descended 
from  the  royal  house  of  Israel,  he 
kept  his  name  on  the  roll  of  that 
“ royal  city ; ” therefore,  for  registra- 
tion, to  Bethlehem  he  must  go.

angel,  ringing  over  the  wilderness 
announcing  the  birth  and  birthplace 
of  Messiah,  startled  the  shepherds. 
The  glory  of  the  Lord  shone  round 
about  them,  and  they  were  sore 
afraid.  “And  suddenly  there  was 
with  the  angel  a multitude  of  the 
heavenly  host  praising  God,  and 
saying, 

‘ Glory  to  God  in  the  highest. 

And  on  earth  peace  among  men  in  whom 
he  i.s  well  pleased.’  ” 

Guided  by  this  vision  and  message, 
the  shepherds  came  to  Bethlehem, 
and  “found  both  Mary  and  Joseph, 
and  the  babe  lying  ‘in  the  man- 
ger.” The  “manger,”  or  midhxvad., 
a trough -like  hollow  on  the  edge  of 
the  raised  floor  of  the  “khan,”  is  a 
convenient  and  safe  place  for  the 
little  ones.

The 

Wise  Men. 


Mt.  2.  1-12. 


Circumcised  the  eighth  day,  and 
thirty-two  days  later  presented  in 
the  Temple,  with  the  humble  offering 
permitted  to  the  poor,  Jesus  was 
recognized  by  the  aged  Simeon  as  the 
Consolation  of  Israel,  “ the  Lord’s 
Christ,”  his  testimony  being  corrob- 
orated bv  the  prophetess  Anna. 

From  “ the  east  ” came  “ wise  men  ” 
seeking  one  born  “King  of  the  Jews,” 
whose  star  they  had  seen'  and  fol- 
lowed. Their  inquiry  for  Him  in  Je- 
rusalem aroused  the  suspicious  fears 
of  Herod.  Directed  to  Bethlehem, 
they  came  “where  the  young  child 
was,”  and,  with  the  stately  salaams 
of  the  Orient,  presented  gold,  frank- 
incense, and  myrrh  — kingly  gifts,  in 
homage  to  one  born  to  rule. 

Herod  wished  them  to  tell  him 
when  they  found  the  Prince;  but, 
warned  to  avoid  the  king,  they  re- 
turn by  another  way  to  their  myste- 
rious home,  and  are  lost  to  view  for 
ever.  ' 

“ Mocked”  by  the  wise  men,  Herod 
“ was  exceeding  wroth.”  He  might

not  find  the  object  of  his  fear,  but  he 
might  destroy  Him,  The  limit  of  age 
upwards  was  fixed  by  the  appearance 
of  the  star,  two  years  before.  It  has 
been  too  common  from  of  old  for  the 
Oriental  despot  to  slay  every  possible 
aspirant  to  his  throne.  To  make  sure 
of  his  aim,  Herod  sent  forth,  and 
slew  all  the  male  children  in  Bethle- 
hem, from  two  years  old  and  under. 

“ A voice  was  heard  in  Ramah, 

Weeping  and  great  mourning. 

Rachel  weeping  for  her  children  ; 

And  she  would  not  be  comforted,  because 
they  are  not.” 

Taking  Mary  and  Jesus  with  him, 
under  the  friendly  gloom  of  night, 
Joseph  had  made  his  escape  from 
Bethlehem.  Hurrying  down  thrqugh 
the  hill  country,  he  may  have  joined, 
in  the  Philistine  plain,  a merchant 

caravan  bound  for  Egypt. 

After  Herod’s  death  the  holy  family 
returned,  not  to  Bethlehem,  from  fear 
of  Archelaus,  the  new  king,  but  to 
the  village  of  Nazareth. 


Just  before  they  descend  in  precip- 
itous cliffs  upon  the  plain  of  Esdra- 
elon,  a little  hollow  is  formed  among 
the  lower  hills  of  Galilee,  on  the 
N.W.  slopes  of  which  lies  the  village 
of  Nazareth.  The  houses,  of  white 
limestone,  rise  from  the  midst  of 
greenery  — hedges  of  cactus,  fruit 
trees,  olives,  and  vineyards.  Inhab- 
ited largely  by  Christians,  it  is  one  of 
the  cleanest  and  prettiest  towns  in 
Palestine.  Of  the  many  hills  around 
it,  one,  higher  than  the  rest,  to  the 
north,  is  climbed  by  every  boy. 
What  heart-stirring  memories  are 
associated  with  the  scenes  all  visible 
from  its  summit : Acre,  Carmel,  Es- 
draelon,  Negiddo,  the  mountains  of 
Samaria,  Gilboa,  Little  Hermon,  Ta- 
bor, the  edge  of  the  Bashan  and 
Gilead  plateau  beyond  Jordan,  Gath 


hepher,  Sepp'horis,  the  breezy  up- 
lands of  Zebulun  and  Naphtali,  and 
far  away  in  the  north-eastern  sky 
the  snowy  brows  of  the  mighty  Her- 
ndon! , . „ 

A freer  spirit  prevailed  in  Galuee 
than  in  priest-ridden  Judaea.  The 
southerns  despised  the  rude  north- 
men,  and  made  sport  of  their  un- 
couth manners  and  speech;  but  in 
davs  of  stress  the  sturdy  peasant 
farmers  of  Galilee  formed  the  back- 
bone of  the  Jewish  armies.  Pass- 
ing troops,  imperial  messengers,  the 
splendid  embassies  of  Rome,  the 
great  merchant  caravans,  were  all 
avenues  of  communion  with  a life 
larger  and  more  expansive  than  their 
own.  In  such  surroundings  Jesus 
grew  up ; as  also  eleven  of  His  apos- 
tles. Judas  only  was  a Judaean.

Lu.  2.  51. 


Taught  at  home  and  in  the  village 
school,  Jesus  at  five  would  begin  to 
read  the  Scriptures ; at  ten  to  study 
the  Law;  at  thirteen  He  would  be 
“ bound  to  the  commandments,”  and 
become  a member  of  the  congrega- 
tion. He  may  have  learned  some 
Greek  and  Latin,  but  He  spoke  Ara- 
maic. Latin  was  the  language  of  the 
conquerors,  Greek  was  spoken  by  the 
cultured,  and  Aramaic  by  the  com- 
mon people;  just  as  now  Turkish, 
French,  and  Arabic  are  the  languages 
of  conquerors,  of  diplomatic  and  ed- 
ucated circles,  and  of  the  common 
people  respectively. 

At  twelve  He  for  the  first  time  went 
to  the  Passover  at  Jerusalem.  Ab- 
sorbed in  discourse  with  the  doctors 
of  Israel,  “both  hearing  them,  and 
asking  them  questions,”  for  Him  all 
else  was  forgotten. 

Pilgrims  returning  northward  from 
Jerusalem  usually  start  late  in  the 
day,  and  El-Bireh,  some  nine  miles 
distant,  near  Bethel,  is  a common 
halting-place  the  first  night.  Old 
tradition  says  that  here  Joseph  and 
Mary  missed  Jesus.  With  what  fear 
and  “sorrow”  they  retraced  their 
steps  in  search  of  Him,  while  they 
thought  of  the  beasts  of  prey  and  of 
the  fierce  men  of  blood  who  infested 
the  country!  When  at  last  he  was 
found  in  the  Temple,  His  first  re- 
corded words  hint  that  they  had  for- 
gotten much  of  a still  recent  past, 
which  might  well  have  haunted  every 
thought  of  theirs  for  ever:  “ Wist  ye 
not  that  I must  be  in  my  Father’s 
house?”

husbandry  of  the  day  — the  plough, 
the  yoke,  the  “ tribulum,”  the  “ fan.” 
In  the  still  evenings  that  fall  over 
these  uplands,  or  in  the  earlier 


watches,  before  the  brightening  east 
had  kindled  the  splendours  on  Great 
Hermon,  we  can  fancy  Him  wander- 
ing among  sequestered  vales,  or  along 
these  rocky  hills,  conversing  with  the 
great  Spirit  that  in  all  things  spake 
to  Him.  Freed  from  the  bench,  lay- 
ing aside  the  sacred  roll  Pie  loved  and 
knew  so  well.  He  sought  acquaintance 
with  that  other  roll  of  revelation 
spread  out  in  God’s  world. 

Man  and  nature  He  studied  deeply 
and  lovingly.  These  were  the  sweet 
idyllic  days  of  the  Saviour’s  life, 
wherein  great  store  of  knowledge 
was  acquired,  which  made  His  teach- 
ing in  future  days  so  luminous  to  the 
people  of  the  land.  This  was  the 
Gift  that  mountain  city,  neither  in- 
significant nor  supremely  wicked  in 
itself,  but  only  associated  in  the  Jew- 
ish mind  with  the  reproach  of  its 
province,  was  destined  to  give  to  the 
world. 

When  Jesus  was  about  thirty  years 
of  age,  the  country  was  startled  by  an 
Elijah-like  prophet  from  the  south- 
ern deserts.  Rough  in  aspect,  clad  in 
the  garb  of  the  wilderness,  nurtured 
on  Its  scanty  fare,  his  stern  soul 
braced  by  years  of  solitaiy  commun- 
ion with  God,  passionately  earnest, 
with  fiery  directness  of  speech,  he 
shook  the  land  to  the  core  with  his 
preachingof  repentance.  A strangely- 
mingled  company  surrounded  him  on 
the  Jordan.  Wild  tribesmen  from 
Bashan,  shepherds  from  the  glens  of 
Gilead,  peasants  from  the  rich  vales 
westward,  fishermen  from  Galilee, 
merchant,  money-changer,  tax-gath- 
erer, soldier,  Pharisee  and  priest, 
were  there,  drawn  by  the  irresistible 
attractions  of  “a  man  sent  from 
God,”  receiving  the  baptism  of  John. 

At  the  very  height  of  his  fame  John 
suddenly  lifted  his  hand,  directing 
every  eye,  and  exclaimed,  “Behold 
the  Lamb  of  God.”  Jesus  had  come, 
and  had  been  baptized  of  John,  who, 
recognizing  his  Master,  at  once  made 
way  for  Him ; with  heroic  self-efface- 
ment thenceforth  taking  the  second 
place.  He  who  came  to  the  river  as 
“the  carpenter”  ascended  the  bank 
as  Messiah,  and  the  voice  of  God  from 
heaven  proclaimed  Plim  His  beloved 
Son. 

Westward  from  Jericho  Jcbcl  Ka- 
ranial  throws  its  forbidding  height 
against  the  sky,  overlooking  the 
patch  of  greenery  at  its  base  and  the 
wide  level  wastes  of  the  Head  Sea 
plains.  These  dreary  uplands  have 
never  known  inhabitants  save  the 
eremites  who  have  dwelt  at  intervals 
in  its  caves.  Haunt  of  fierce  beasts 
and  birds  of  prey,  this  lonely  wilder- 
ness has  long  been  identified  with  the 
scene  of  the  temiitation.  Its  stones, 
resembling  in  shaiie  the  rough  bread 
of  the  country,  may  have  suggested 
the  form  of  tlie  first  temptation. 

From  the  mountain  top  you  can  see 
the  tower  on  the  crest  of  Olivet.  Just 
beyond  this,  on  the  brow  of  Moriah, 
stood  the  sanctuary  of  His  people. 
There  the  hope  had  long  been  cher- 
ished that  the  Messiah,  the  Lord, 
would  come  suddenly  to  His  temple. 
From  the  sunny  skies  a vision  of 
brightness  and  jiower  .should  4®"

shippers  into  swift  recognition  of 
their  promised  Deliverer.  Why  not 
thus  descend  in  their  midst,  and 
secure  at  once  what  must  otherwise 
be  sought  through  pain  and  weari- 
ness? Because  that  were  presump- 
tuous venturing.  The  promise  of 
upholding  “in  all  His  ways”  could 
not  apply  if  He  capriciously  went  out 
of  His  way  to  tempt  God. 

Again,  Jesus  aims  at  world-wide 
dominion.  From  this  mount,  Moses- 
like,  He  viewed  His  jiromised  land. 
He  also  saw  a vision  of  that  sorrow- 
ful way  to  Gethsemane,  Calvary,  the 
tomb ; the  centuries  of  toil  and  battle, 
suffering  and  martyrdom  befoi’e  His 
church  ere  the  end  could  be  realized. 
Why  not  with  His  supernatural  genius 
and'  power  take  command  of  the  ar- 
mies of  Israel  ? To-morrow  the  world 
would  lie  hunibled  and  submissive  at 
His  feet,  and  He  might  sway  its  des- 
tines at  will.  But  how  dearly  were 
the  triumph  bought ! - at  the  price 
of  homage  to  the  god  of  this  world, 
the  dark  spirit  of  war  and  violence. 
The  dream  of  earthly  glory  is  thrust 
aside;  the  path  of  obedience,  suffer- 
ing, and  shame  is  His  final  and  irrev- 
ocable choice. 

Jesus  returned  to  the  scene  of  His 
baptism,  where  John  continued  to 
labor.  Some  of  the  Baptist’s  dis- 
ciples, directed  by  his  testimony, 
followed  Jesus.  Andrew  and  “an- 
other,” possibly  John,  were  soon 
joined  bv  Peter,  Philip,  and  Nathan- 
ael. “ We  have  found  the  Messias,” 
said  Andrew  to  Simon.  Every  Israel- 
ite knew  what  that  meant. 

The  Messiah  represented  the  Jewish 
hope,  as  El-Hddy  does  that  of  the 
l)ru2e,  and  El-Mahdy  that  of  Islam, 
both  being  from  the  same  root,  mean- 
ing “to  guide,”  and  signifying  “the 
well-directed  One.”  Even  so,  but 
with  greater  eagerness,  did  Israel 
hope  for  “the  Anointed’s”  coming. 
Having  once  met  Him,  ordinary  avo- 
cations might  be  resumed  for  a time ; 
but  His  final  call  found  them  ready  to 
leave  all  and  follow  Him. 

To  Nazareth  was  an  easy  three  days’ 
journey;  past  Shiloh  or  Shechem  and 
Engannim  if  the  hill  road  were  taken, 
or  following  the  valley  by  way  of 
Bethshean  and  up  the  vale  of  Jezreel, 
Nazareth  might  be  reached  early  on 
the  third  dav.  Cana  was  about  seven  i 
miles  distant  on  the  north  edge  of  the  ] 
plain  of  Asochis,  and  could  easily  be 
reached  in  time  for  the  marriage 
festivities  in  the  evening,  to  which 
He  had  been  invited.  The  name 
Kdnd  cd-JelH  may  still  be  heard  on 
native  lips;  it  is  the  exact  Arabic 
equivalent  of  Kat'arrjs  FaAiAaia?,  our 
“Cana  of  Galilee.”  It  is  now  an 
utter  ruin;  near  by  are  rock-cut 
tombs;  ancient  cisterns  have  been 
found,  but  no  spring.  The  old  He- 
brew name  Kanah  (“the  reedy”) 
suits  this  place,  which  overlooks  the 
marshy,  reedv  plain.  It  does  not  at 
all  fit  Kefr  Kennah,  which  has  long- 
claimed  the  honour,  on  the  south 
border  of  the  plain,  three  miles  from 
Nazareth  on  the  Tiberias  road.

would  disgrace  the  host.  From  this 
shame  Jesus  saved  His  friends.  The 
wine  gave  out,  and  He  changed  the 
water  in  the  pots  to  excellent  wine. 

A brief  visit,  perhaps  His  first,  paid 
to  Capernaum,  Jesus  went  up  to  the 
Passover  at  Jerusalem.  Dealers  in 
cattle  and  doves  for  sacrifice,  and  men 
who,  at  exorbitant  rates,  changed  the 
current  money  of  the  provinces  for 
the  shekels  of  the  sanctuary,  in  which 
the  Temple  dues  were  paid,  pursued 
their  nefarious  traffic  within  the  court 
of  the  Temple  itself.  Deeply  resent- 
ing this  slight  upon  His  Father’s 
house.  He  drove  them  out,  conscience 
making  cow’ards  of  them  all. 

Their  methods  are  pursued  to-day 
in  the  holy  places;  the  devotional 
feelings  of  men  being  “exploited” 
for  material  gain. 

Fearing  the  hatred  of  the  Jews 
against  free  inquiry  in  religious 
matters,  Nicodemus  came  to  Jesus 
by  night.  He  learned  the  condition 
of  entrance  into  the  kingdom  of  God 
— viz.  the  new  birth;  and  also  the 
truth,  that  God  loves  Gentiles  as  well 
as  Jews,  for  He  “loves  the  world.” 
At  the  very  outset  is  struck  that  note 
of  universalism  which  gives  the  reli- 
gion of  Jesus  its  pre-eminence  among 
the  religions  of  men. 

Descending  again  into  the  river 
country,  Jesus  also,  by  His  disciples, 
received  men  into  fellowship  through 
baptism.  Greater  numbers  gathered 
to  Him  than  to  John ; this  gave  a new 
opportunity  to  that  brave,  true  man 
for  spontaneous  witness  to  his  great 
Successor.  “ He  must  increase,  but 
I must  decrease”— an  eternal  re- 
buke to  the  spirit  of  professional 
jealousy.  John’s  public  work,  indeed, 
was  nearly  done.  In  the  fearless 
spirit  of  liis  great  prototype  he  de- 
nounced the  illegal  marriage  of  An- 
tipas,  and  speedily  found  himself  in 
prison,  hated  by  a wdcked  and  un- 
scrupulous woman,  who  would  be  sat- 
isfied with  nothing  but  his  blood. 

Going  again  into  Galilee,  Jesus 
with  His  disciples  took  the  road 
which  passes  between  the  twin  moun- 
tains Ebal  and  Gerizim.  At  the  foot 
of  the  latter,  by  a wayside  well,

He  sat  to  rest,  while  His  disciples 
crossed  the  vale  to  Sychar  to  buy 
food.  Here  occurred  the  memorable 
interview  with  the  Samaritan  woman, 
Jesus  revealing  His  divine  mission  to 
those  not  only  outside  the  pale 
of  Judaism,  but  hated  as  mor- 
tal foes.  The  well  is  empty 
now.  A house  is  built  over  it, 
and  the  surrounding  land  is 
planted  as  an  orchard.  Geri- 
zim  rears  its  frowning  crags 
close  by  the  well,  crowned  by 
the  ruins  of  Justinian’s  fort- 
ress. 

Near  these  are  the  holy 
places  of  the  Samaritans. 

They  claim  that  Gerizim  is  the 
most  ancient  sanctuary  in  the 
land ; that  they,  not  the  Jews, 
are  the  true  custodians  of  the 
Law  of  Moses.  The  hatred  of 
Jew  and  Samaritan  was  about 
the  most  perfect  thing  of  its 
kind  the  world  has  ever  seen. 

The  Samaritan  temjTle  was 
destroyed  by  John  Hyrcanus. 

The  Samaritans  were  in  part 
avenged  when  one  crept  into 
the  Temple  at  Jerusalem  on 
Passover  night,  and  polluted 
it  with  human  bones.  Hushed 
are  the  priests’  voices  on 
Moriah ; the  smoke  of  sacrifice 
ascends  no  more;  but  on  the  bleak 
heights  of  Gerizim  the  yearly  sacri- 
fice is  offered  still,  and'  the  'prayers 
are  chanted  that  for  millenniums 
have  echoed  along  the  rocky  summit. 

In  Galilee  Jesus  was  cordially  rc; 
ceived  by  the  people,  and  His  fame 
was  confirmed  by  His  healing  from 
Cana  the  king’s  'officer’s  son  in  Ca- 
pernaura.  Little  is  recorded  of  His 
work  until  we  find  Him  again  at  the 
feast  of  the  Passover.  The  pool  of 
Bethesda,  fed  by  an  intermittent 
spring,  was  frequented  by  sick  folk, 
who  thought  its  waters  had  healing 
virtues.  One  Sabbath  day  Jesus 
healed  a man  who  had  long  waited 
in  vain  for  relief.  He  was  at  once 
charged  with  breaking  the  Sabbath. 
In  His  reply  He  said,  “My  Father 
worketh  hitherto,  and  I work;” 
wherein  the  Jews  rightly  understood 
Him  to  claim  equality  with  God. 
The  charge  of  blasphemy,  then  first 
raised,  was  never  lost  sight  of,  and 
on  this,  according  to  Jewish  law.  He 
was  finally  condemned. 

Again  Jesus  journeyed  northward, 
and  went  to  the  city  of  his  boyhood. 
Preaching  in  the  synagogue.  He 
applied  the  pronhecy  of  Isaiah  (fil) 
to  Himself,  ami  charmed  His  old 
friends;  but  His  stern  reproof  of 
their  unbelief  so  enraged  them  that 
they  sought  to  hurl  Him  over  a i)reci- 
pice  on  the  hillside,  i)ossibly  that  be- 
hind the  present  Maronite  church. 
Passing  through  their  midst  He  es- 
caped. The  Jews  drove  Him  forth 
from  Nazareth  : to-day  no  Jew  finds  a 
home  there. 

Thenceforward  only  in  Capernaum, 

“ His  own  city,”  is  Jesus  ever  de- 
scribed as  being  “at  home.”  West,

naum;  and  Jesus  “dwelt  among  His 
own  people.”  An  indescribable  charm 
haunts  all  the  shores  of  Galilee,  girt 
round  by  lofty  hills,  now  lashed  to 
fury  by  the  sudden  tempest,  anon  re-

fleeting  in  calm  depths  the  flaming 
splendors  of  Plermon  at  morn  or 
eye. 

To  the  north-west  the  mountains 
retire  from  the  beach,  leaving  an 
almost  crescent-shaped  plain  be- 
tween them  and  the  sea  some  three 
miles  in  length.  This  is  the  land  of 
Gennesaret,  once  so  fertile  and  beau- 
tiful that  Josephus  called  it  the 
“Ambition  of  Nature.”  The  dark 
tents  and  lumbering  camels  of  the 
Arab  now  dot  the  landscape.  Pa  tches 
are  cultivated, but  great  rich  breadths 
run  wild  are  plentifully  covered  with 
thistle,  thorn  and  brier. 

Capernaum  was  in  or  close  by  this 
plain.  It  was  a customs  station,  held 
by  a troop  of  soldiers,  the  residence 
of  a king’s  officer.  The  very  name  is 
gone;  nor  can  we  distinguish  its 
ruins  among  the  blackened  heaps 
that  stud  the  shore. 

Residing  in  Capernaum,  .Jesus 
taught  and  healed  the  sick  through- 
out the  district.  Preaching  in  the 
open  air  was  not  uncommon,  and  the 
sea-shore  was  a favorite  resort. 
Sometimes  He  sat  in  a boat  a little 
way  from  the  shore.  There  is  many 
a gentle  bay  along  the  coast,  with 
grassy  banks  sloping  from  the  water’s 
edge,  forming  a beautiful  natural 
iimphitheatre,  where  many  hundreds 
could  hear.  Before  Him  were  tlu; 
implements  of  fisherman  and  peasant, 
from  whose  work  Ho  drew  such 
wealth  of  illustration.  Once  after 
such  a discourse  He  bade  weary  fish- 
ermen, who  had  vainly  toiled  all 
night,  let  down  their  net:  it  was 
filled  to  the  breaking.  Improving 
the  occasion,  when  mind  and  heart 
were  moved  by  this  display.  He 
called  them  to  be  “fishers  of  mien.” 

The  scribes  taught  the  Law,  resting 
on  the  authority  of  the  great  masters 
of  the  past.  The  value  of  their  utter- 
ances depended  on  their  skill  in  tra-

tlition  and  precedent.  Jesus  claimed 
only  the  authority  of  truth.  His 
“ Verily  I say  unto  vou”  was  like  the 
“ Thus  saith  the  Lord  ” of  the  ancient 
prophet. 

Mental  disorders  in  the  Orient  are 
attributed  to  demoniacal  possession ; 
the  profession  of  exorcist  has  always 
been  profitable.  All  disorders  alike 
yielded  at  the  word  of  Jesus.  The 
man  who  came  a raving  lunatic  into 
the  synagogue  went  forth  in  his 
right  mind.  Even  as  a madman  he 
recognized  the  “ Son  of  God.”  Jesus 
forbade  him  to  publish  his  discovery. 
These  prohibitions  in  Galilee  are 
striking.  With  the  advent  of  Mes- 
siah, Galilieans  expected  strange  and 
calamitous  events.  A prophet  of 
God  they  would  hear  gladly;  from 
Messiah,  if  they  knew  Him,  they 
might  flee  in  dread.  Perhaps  He 
saw  they  were  not  yet  prepared  to 
receive  the  truth;  its  publication 
might  hinder  His  mission. 

Returning  to  Capernaum,  He  healed 
Peter’s  wife’s  mother,  whom  He 
found  tossing  in  the  miserable  fever- 
cold  too  well  known  from  of  old  to 
the  dwellers  in  Palestine.  The  con- 
course round  the  door  you  may  see 
when  the  medical  missionary  goes 
abroad  in  Galilee  to-day.  From 
lonely  upland  village,  from  dark- 
spreading encampment  in  plain  and 
valley,  they  bring  their  sick  and  suf- 
fering ones.  The  physician  plies  his 
eracious  task,  and  words  of  truth  are 
spoken  to  the  waiting  people.  Thus 
from  “every  town  in  Galilee,  Judaea, 
and  Jerusalem”  they  came.  Even 
the  leper,  doomed  to  perpetual  ostra- 
cism, to  a lonely  and  weary  death, 
gathered  fresh  courage  in  Jesus’ 
j)resence.  Nor  was  his  appeal  in  vain. 
Observe  the  note  of  accuracy:  “Ju- 
daea ami  Jerusalem.”  In  Jerusalem 
centred  the  interest  and  pride  of  the 
nation.  Judaea  was  divided  into 
“ the  mountain,”  “ the  Shephelah, 
and  “the  valley,”  “Jerusalem”  be- 
inp-  added  as  a separate  district. 

Jesns  withdrew  for  rest,  probably 
to  some  secluded  vale  of  Naphtali; 
but  the  many-voiced  cry  of  human 
need  soon  called  Him  forth  again. 
Hemmed  in  by  anxious  crowds,  most 
likely  in  the  litvciu^  or  open-fronted 
reception  room  of  a house,  four  men, 
carrying  a palsied  comrade,  climbed 
to  tiie  roof,  and  breaking  it  up,  let 
down  the  mattress  and  the  man  be- 
fore Him.  Their  faith  commanded 
immediate  help.  To  the  scandal  of 
the  Pharisees  He  said,  “ Thy  sins  are 
forgiven  thee.”  Easy  to  say,  this 
might  only  be  blasphemy.  But  in 
proof  of  His  authority,  to  the  confu- 
sion of  His  critics,  at  His  word  the 
helpless  man  took  up  his  bed  and 

walked  out  before  them  all. 

Obiects  of  universal  hatred  and 
contempt  to  the  pious  and  patriotic 
in  Israel  were  the  men  who  farmed 
and  collected  the  imperial  taxes. 
They  were  given  up  as  lost — aban- 
doned sternly  to  their  fate.  Jesus 
speaks  to  Matthew  (or  Levi),  bids 
him  leave  his  disreputable  work,  and 
follow  Him.  Used  only  to  hlack 
looks  and  contemptuous  sneers,  Mat- 
thew heard  the  kindly  word  with 
joyful  surprise.  Some  one  hoped

better  things  for  him.  It  broke  the 
spell  of  his  old  life,  and  Matthew  the 
publican  became  Matthew  the  apos- 
tle. Christ’s  answer  to  cavillers  at 
His  care  for  outcasts  was  that  He 
“ came  to  call  sinners  to  repentance.” 

The  Sabbath  law,  as  interpreted  by 
the  doctors,  with  their  innumerable 
requirements  and  restrictions,  had 
changed  the  Sabbath  from  “a  de- 
light ” to  a day  of  anxiety  and  mental 
strain.  Methods  had  to  be  devised 
for  the  relief  of  weary  humanity.  . 
Observance  of  these  rules  came  to  be 
thought  the  main  end  of  life ; but  it 
was  taught  that  mere  technical  ob- 
servance was  enough,  and  this  often 
meant  a real  breach.  Jesus  scorned 
these  pleas  of  perverse  ingenuity. 
Walking  through  the  fields.  His  dis- 
ciples plucked  ears  of  corn,  rubbed 
off  the  chaff  between  their  hands, 
and  ate.  They  Were  held  formally 
guilty  of  reaping  and  of  threshing, 
and  were  at  once  attacked  by  the  le- 
galists. In  reply,  Jesus  claimed  large 
freedom.  The  Sabbath  was  insti- 
tuted to  promote  man’s  welfare.  To 
make  it  a means  of  oppressing  hu- 
manity was  to  rob  it  of  the  divine 
sanction.  And  immediately,  by  re- 
storing a man’s  withered  hand.  He  il- 
lustrated His  doctrine  that  it  is  “ law- 
ful to  do  well  on  the  Sabbath  day.” 

Having  healed  multitudes  of  sick 
people  on  the  sea-shore.  He  withdrew 
to  a mountain  and  spent  the  night  in 
prayer.  In  the  morning  He  chose 
twelve  men  to  be  His  close  com- 
panions. Several  pairs  having  the 
same  names  were,  according  to  East- 
ern custom,  distinguished  by  epithets 
descriptive  of  personal  characteris- 
tics or  of  origin  — for  example,  Simon 
Peter  and  Simon  the  Canaanxte,  Ju- 
das James's  brother,  and  Judas  me 
man  of  Kerioth.  Then  followed  the 
declaration  of  the  great  principles  of 
the  kingdom,  reported  in  Mat.  5-(. 
Whether  or  not  this  was  all  spoken 
at  once,  it  affords  a conspectus  of  the 
teaching  of  Jesus. 

The  traditional  “ Mount  of  Beati- 
tudes,” a double-crested  hill  four 
miles  west  of  Tiberias,  seems  too  :^r 
from  the  Sea  of  Galilee,  and  too  diffi- 
cult of  access  from  that  side.  Possi- 
bly, too,  it  was  a fortress  in  Jesus 
time.  It  commands  one  of  the  fairest 
prospects  in  Palestine,  grassy  slopes 
falling  awav  to  westward,  the  scene 
of  the  Crusaders’  last  crushing  de- 
feat by  Saladin;  Tabor,  presiding 
over  the  broad  terraces  in  which  the 
land  lets  itself  down  towards  the  sea; 
the  fertile  plains  of  Hattin ; the  wild 
gorge  of  Wady  el-Haxndn,  and  through 
Its  rocky  jaws  the  sweet  shores  of  Gen- 
nesaret,  the  breezy  uplands  of  Naph- 
tali; and  away  to  the  north-east  the 
black  hills  of  Janldn,  culminating  in 
the  white  mass  of  the  mighty  Hermon. 
But  there  are  many  mountains  over- 
looking the  sea  which  might  well  have 
served  the  Master’s  use. 

This  great  sermon  declares  and  il- 
lustrates the  inward  and  spiritual 
character  of  religious  life  and  ex- 
perience, emphasizing  the  supreme 
value  of  love.  There  was  much 
against  ordinary  ideas  and  customs 
— e q “ Love  your  enemies.”  The 
dearest  duty  of  the  Oriental  has  ever

been  to  hate  his  enemy,  to  avengce 
every  insult  and  injury."  The  beauty 
of  forgiveness,  the  sublime  dignity  of 
a love  victorious  over  hatred  and  en- 
mity, have  not  yet  dawned  in  ]iower 
upon  the  sombre  mind  of  the  Orient. 
Note,  again,  a touch  of  local  color: 
“ bread  . . . fish  . . . egg,”  the  com- 
monest of  Nature’s  blessings  in  Pales- 
tine, are  set  over  against  ” stone  . . . 
serpent  . . . scorpion,”  the  common- 
est of  her  curses. 

The  sermon  ended,  the  Twelve  went 
out  on  their  first  mission,  to  Israel 
only.  The  hospitality  of  the  land 
made  encumbersome  provisions  un- 
necessary, while  their  gifts  of  healing 
would  everywhere  secure  them  wel-

come.  Then  came  elders  from  Caper- 
naum interceding  for  the  centurion’s 
servant  who  was  sick.  The  centurion 
had  won  their  good  offices  by  a com- 

gliment  paid  to  their  religion  in 
uilding  them  a synagogue.  The 
Roman  did  in  a humble  way  what 
Herod  the  Idumaean  did  on  a grand 
scale  when  he  lavished  his  wealth 
upon  the  Temple.  Thus  I have 
known  a Christian  governor  gain 
favor  among  Moslems  by  repairing 
their  mosque.  The  centurion’s  faith 
and  modesty  commended  him  to  the 
favor  of  Jesus.  , 

Leaving  Capernaum,  Jesus  climbed 
the  mountain  westward,  crossed  the 
plain  which  runs  up  to  the  foot  of

Tabor,  passed  through  the  oak  groves 
under  the  mountain,  and  issued  on 
the  edge  of  Esdraelon.  A little  vale 
divides  Tabor  from  Little  Hermon; 
on  the  north-west  shoulder  of  the 
latter  lay  the  city  of  Nain,  “ the  fair,” 
whither  he  was  bound.  It  commands 
a fine  view  of  the  great  plain  and  its 
historic  surroundings. 

Tffidor  lies  eastward,  and  Shunem,  a

among  her  orchards.  The  place  is 
now  ruinous.  A large  stone,  Hajeret

on  which  it  is  said  He  rested.  Coming- 
near,  He  met  a funeral  procession. 

The  mind  of  the  East  will  tolerate 
no  burying  within  the  city.  The  body 
was  carried  openly  on  a bier.  This 
carrying  is  reckoned  a peculiarly 
pious  and  meritorious  work.  In  Ju-

music,  came  first.  In  (ialilee  first  in

brave  spirit.  He  sought  assurance 
that  Jesus  was  indeed  the  Messiah. 
This  elicited  a generous  tribute  to 
his  character  and  work.  He  was  no 
tall  reed,  tvith  gracefully  bending 
head,  sensitive  to  the  gentlest  breath. 
No  vision  of  pampered  royalty  at- 
tracted the  crowds  to  the  desert, 
but  a prophet,  and  “more  than  a 
prophet.”  None  greater  had  been 
born  of  woman.  But  John  and  He 
had  both  failed  to  impress  that  gen- 
eration with  the  reality  of  life.  They 
were  overgrown  children,  swayed  by 
variable  impulse.  They  utterly  mis- 
judged the  two  great  personalities  in 
the  religious  life  of  the  time.  ,Iohn, 
the  stern  ascetic,  with  sane  and  whole- 
some doctrine,  “ hath  a devil.”  Jesus, 
whose  genial  familiarity  with  men  in 
the  innocent  enjoyments  of  life  Mon 
the  hearts  of  the  most  hojieless,  is  “ a 
man  gluttonous  and  a wine-bibber.” 

Among  the  keenest  disappoint- 
ments of  Jesus  was  the  apathy  of 
the  cities  where  He  had  taught  and 
labored  most.  The  bitterness  of  un- 
requited love  broke  forth  in  scathing 
denunciation  of  doom.  He  contrasted 
them  unfavorably  with  the  wicked 
cities  of  the  ancient  world,  Tyre  and 
Sidon,  nay,  even  with  Sodom  and  Go- 
morrah. What  is  Chorazin  now  ? A

After  a short  preaching  tour  in 
Galilee,  He  returned  to  Capernaum. 
Having  healed  a dumb  man,  His 
power  was  ascribed  to  Beelzebub. 
Here  is  the  seed  of  that  crop  of  in- 
sults and  blasphemies  with  which 
the  Jews  of  old  wrote  of  Je.sus.  His 
answer  to  them  was  complete.  If 
demons  could  be  cast  out  only  by  the 
prince  of  devils,  their  own  sons, 
orcists,  stood  condemned  of  traific 
with  hell.  He  refused  to  gratify  curi- 
osity by  signs,  when  the  Scriptures 
afforded  full  evidence  of  His  claims. 
His  own  relatives  also  doubted,  and 
wished  to  restrain  Him.  This  led 
Him  to  indicate  those  who  heard  the 
Word  of  God  and  obeyed,  as  standing 
to  Him  in  that  peculiarly  close  and 
intimate  relation  represented  by  the 
Oriental  family.

dressed  the  multitudes  in  a series 
of  striking  parables,  drawn  from  the 
scenes  around  them;  the  sower,  the 
wheat  and  tares,  the  grain  of  mus-

treasure,  the  pearl  of  great  price,  ami 
the  drag-net.  - 

Wearied  with  His  long  effort,  He 
slept  in  the  boat  as  the  discipms 
rowed  eastward.  A fearful  storm 
broke  over  the  lake,  lashing  it  to 
furv  in  a moment.  The  seamen  knew 
their  danger.  At  their  appeal  the 
Sleeper  arose  and,  with  a word  laid 
the  billows  to  rest. 

The  lands  of  Gergesa,  whither  they 
were  bound,  were  included  in  the  dis- 
trict of  Gadara,  the  city  on  the  hill- 
top to  the  south-east.  The  country 
was  startled  by  the  healing  of  two 
fierce  demoniacs,  who  dwelt  among 
the  tombs,  and  by  the  destruction 
of  the  swine  that  grazed  on  these 
uplands.  This  latter  needed  no  ]us-

tification  to  the  Jews,  who,  like  the 
modern  Moslems,  hated  the  SAVine, 
and  felt  their  presence  an  insult  to 
their  religion.  The  people  were 
alarmed.  At  their  request  He  left 
their  coasts,  and  recrossed  the  sea. 

His  return  was  marked  by  raising 
to  life  the  daughter  of  Jairus,  and 
healing  the  woman  with  the  issue  of 
blood,  who,  true  to  the  abiding  cus- 
tom in  the  Orient,  having  spent  all 
her  living  upon  “ quacks,  was  left 
to  poverty  and  despair.  A circuit 
through  Galilee  brought  Him  again 
to  the  scenes  of  his  boyhood.  Re- 
ceived with  cold  unbelief.  He  turned 
His  back  on  Nazareth  for  ever. 

Meantime  Herod  Antipas  was 
troubled.  He  had  cast  John  into 
prison.  Josephus  says  he  was  im- 
prisoned in  Machserus,  the  gloomy 
fortress  east  of  the  Dead  Sea.  His 
account  is  incoherent.  Herod  would 
hardly  send  a prisoner  to  a keep  al- 
ready in  the  hands  of  his  sworn  foe. 

At  a birthday  feast  given  to  his  Gali- 
Itean  nobles,  Herod,  fascinated  by  the 
dancing  of  his  false  wife’s  daughter, 
weakly  yielded  to  her  demand  for 
John  Baptist’s  head.  The  most  con- 
vciiiciit  plticG  for  tliis  feast,  as  also 
for  the  imprisonment  of  John,  was 
the  Golden  House  at  Tiberias,  where 
on  a hill  overlooking  the  sea  Rs 
is  still  known  as  Kasr  Bint  el-Melek  , 
‘‘Palace  of  the  king’s  daughter. 
The  fame  of  Jesus  stirred  with  guilty 
fears  the  conscience  of  Antipas.  He 
thought  the  murdered  Baptist  had 
come  back  to  avenge  his  innocent 
death.  , . . . ^ 

Returning  from  their  mission,  the 
Twelve  went  with  Jesus  to  a “ desert 
place  ” near  Bethsaida  Julias.  “ Des- 
ert” here  corresponds  to  the  Ara- 
bic hn  rineh , the  uncultivated  grazing

rounds the  villages,  where  grass  often 
abounds.  Followed  by  multitudes. 
He  taught  and  healed  them,  and  at 
evening  miraculously  fed  them  with 
five  loaves  and  two  fishes. 

The  crowds  gone,  the  disciples 
started  by  boat  for  Bethsaida,  and 
Jesus  ascended  a mountain  to  pray. 
As  night  fell,  a great  storm,  appar- 
ently issuing  from  the  valleys  west- 
waril,  burst  over  the  lake,  and  the 
disciples,  toiling  in  rowing,  made  no 
progress.  Jesus  approached,  Avalking 
on  the  water.  They  were  afraid  ; but 
His  voice  reassured  them,  and  Petei 
made  his  brave  but  disastrous  at- 
tempt to  meet  Him  on  the  water. 
Jesus  entered  the  boat,  and  the> 
were  soon  at  land.  The  people  who 
had  been  fed  in  the  desert  found  Him 
in  the  morning  near  Capernaum. 
Then,  hearing  that  His  mission  avus

borders  of  Israel  for  the  first  and  only 
time.  Where  Lebanon  looks  doAvn

woman  here,  by  an  act  of  victorious 
faith,  obtained  healing  for  her  daugh- 
ter, the  blessing  of  Messiah  already

Striking  eastward  across  the  hills, 
Jesus  then  visited  the  region  of  the 
“ Ten  Cities,”  which,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  Scythopolis,  lay  east  of  Jor- 
dan. It  was  inhabited  by  a mixed

brought  to  Him  and  healed.

next  journeyed,  is  the  most  roman-

At  the  southern  base  of  Great  Her- 
mon,  it  was  of  old  called  Paneas,  from 
the  god  Pan,  who  had  a sanctuarv 
there.  It  was  greatly  enlarged  and 
beautified  by  Herod  the  Great  and 
I’hilip  of  Trachonitis,  who  called  it 
('lesarea  Philippi.  The  fountain  of 
the  Jordan  supplied  abundant  water, 
and  its  groves  and  gardens  were  a 
perennial  delight.  Little  now  re- 
mains to  mark  the  splendors  of  that 
old  city.  In  the  modern  Ji/in/ids,  the 
ancient  name  has  finally  reasserted 
itself.  In  this  district  Peter’s  famous 
confession  was  made,  “Thou  art  the 
Christ;”  and  the  first  clear  inti- 
mation of  His  coming  sufferings 
prompted  Peter’s  presumptuous  re-

stern  reproof.

testation  of  divine  glory  in  the  trans- 
hguration  could  have  been  chosen 
than  some  lofty  spur  of  this  majestic 
range.  Descending  with  the  three 
who  had  accompanied  Him  to  the 
heights,  and  having  healed  a demo- 
niac lad.  He  repeats  the  announce- 
ment of  His  coming  death;  now, 
however,  adding  the  assurance,  which 
they  did  not  understand,  that  He 
should  “ rise  again  the  third  day.” 

After  His  return  to  Capernaum, 
pe  tribute-money  demanded  was 
furnished  in  the  mouth  of  a fish 
cau^it  by  Peter.  Like  true  children 
of  the  Orient,  the  disciples  longed 
for  official  recognition  and  distinc- 
tion, and  this  independently  of  any 
special  ability  or  fitness  for  promo- 
tion, simply  by  arbitrary  favor  of 
the  monarch.  Jesus  taught  that  in 
His  kingdom  honor  is  reached  only 
through  humility,  power  through 
service  That  He  might  be  monarch 
became  servant  of 
all.  They  need  not  be  jealous  of  men 
even  who  formed  no  part  of  their 
company.  Gifts  would  be  bestowed 
upon  the  faithful,  by  whatever  name 
they  might  be  called,  and 
their  works  would  be  ac- 
knowledged. 

From  Galilee  many 
went  to  Jerusalem  for  the 
Feast  of  Tabernacles. 
Jesus  did  not  go  at  first, 
and  speculation  was  rife 
as  to  the  reason  for  His 
absence.  About  the  mid- 
dle of  the  feast  He  ap- 
peared, and  taught  pub- 
licly. Poiuilar  ■ opinion 
was  divided  about  Him. 
Rome  wished  to  put  Him 
to  death.  The  officers 
sent  to  arrest  Him  re- 
turned, exclaiming, 
“Never  man  spake  like 
this  man.”  A timely  pro- 
test from  Nicodemus  pre- 
vented the  Pharisees  from 
condemning  Him  at  once 
unheard.  An  attempt  to 
entrap  Him  by  presenting 
for  judgment  a woman 
taken  in  adultery,  was 
turned  to  the  accusers’ 
confusion.  In  a subsequent  discourse 
He  claimed  to  be  the  “ Light  of  the 
world,”  a figure  suggested  probably' 
by  the  lighting  up  of  the  Temple  at 
this  feast.  Jesus  declared  tliat  nat- 
ural descent  from  Abraham  assured 
no  man  of  God’s  favor,  and  He 
moved  the  Jews  to  fury  by  a claim 
to  have  existed  before  Abraham.  His 
healing  a beggar  blind  from  his  birth 
on  the  Sabbath  day  raised  afresh  the 
old  Sabbath  controversy. 

His  tender  love  for  the  people  is 
shown  in  the  pictures  in  which  He 
presents  Himself  as  their  Shepherd. 
With  peculiar  power  they  would  ap- 
peal to  the  dwellers  in  the  pastoral 
uplands  of  Judea.  The  character- 
istic figure  in  Galilee  is  the  peasant 
farmer;  in  Judah  it  is  the  herdsman. 
Here  Jesus  is  “ the  good  Shepherd,” 
who  knows  His  sheep  and  is  known 
of  His.  In  the  early  morning  the 
shepherd  leads  his  sheep  to  the  pas- 
tures he  knows,  in  the  recesses  of  the 
hills,  where  mayhap  a spring  makes

In  the  fierce  heat  of  the  clay  he  will  find 
a shelter  for  them,  rudely  built,  per- 
haps, on  the  mountain  side.  W hen 
evening  falls  over  the  wilds,  leading 
them  homeward,  he  is  ready,  with 
staff  and  club,  to  venture  his  life  for 
their  safety  against  the  fierce  night- 
prowlers  from  cave  and  thicket, 
whose  voices  make  night  hideous. 

Seventy  evangelists,  endowed  with 
miraculous  jiowers,  were  about  this 
time  sent  forth  to  preach.  How  long 
their  mission  lasted  we  know  not ; but 
they  met  with  great  success,  and  they 
came  back  jubilant,  Jesus  also  being 
filled  with  ioy  and  thankfulness.

also  the  too  common  anxiety  for 
earthly  treasure,  and  forgetfulness 
of  the  heavenly.  He  charges  men 
to  faithfulness  in  handling  earth  s 
goods,  as  a stewardship  from  God. 
Contrary  to  popular  ideas  He  urges 
that  temporal  misfortune  is  no  proof 
of  God’s  displeasure ; that  for  all  sin- 
ners, no  matter  how  fortunate  they 
mav  seem,  escape  from  wrath  lies

synagogue  on  the  Sabbath  roused 
the  indignation  of  the  ruler,  Avho  by 
precipitate  interference  brought  on 
himself  the  most  scathing  rebuke. 

At  the  Feast  of  the  Dedication, 
Jesus  made  a declaration  of  His  one- 
ness with  God,  Avhich  provoked  the 
Jews  to  attack  Him  as  a blasphemer; 
therefore  He  retired  to  the  land  be- 
yond Jordan,  near  the  scene  of  His 
baptism.  Urged  to  flee  thence  lest 
Herod  might  slay  Him,  He  showed 
hOAV  truly  He  had  judged  that  mon- 
arch, describing  him  as  a “fox. 
Not  in  Fersea  but  in  Jerusalem  He 
should  die,  for  “ it  cannot  be  that  a 
prophet  perish  out  of  Jerusalem; 
and  He  burst  into  a heartbroken 
lament  over  the  approaching  doom 
of  the  city  of  His  people’s  imde. 

He  enforced  the  ancient  Oriental 
virtue  sadakat,  kindness  to  the  poor 
from  love  of  God,  without  hope  of 
recompense.  It  is  a Godlike  virtue. 
For  even  thus  had  God  offered  to 
men  the  riches  of  His  kingdom.  His 
offer  Avas  like  an  invitation  to  a great 
supper.  Refusal  meant  insult.  Such 
refusal  among  Arab  tribes  is  taiffa- 
mount  to  a declaration  of  war.  But 
men  must  realize  Avhat  acceptance 
involves,  and  frankly  take  the  con- 
sequences. The  door  was  wide  open 
even  for  publicans  and  sinners,  con- 
temned by  the  “respectable  in 
Israel.  But  to  Jesus  these  faUen 
ones  were  but  as  coins  lost ; as  sheep 
wandered  on  the  hiUs;  as  sons  gone 
astray.  To  seek  the  coin,  to  track 
the  sheep,  hoAV  natural;  how  much 
more  so  to  find  the  son,  and  restore 
him  rejoicing  to  the  father’s  bosom . 

Here  came  to  Him  the  message 
from  the  home  of  Martha  and  Mary 
and  Lazarus  in  Bethany,  “ Behold,  lie

whom  thou  lovest  is  sick.”  After 
two  days,  in  spite  of  the  danger  to  be 
faced,  He  set  out  to  comfort  His 
friends.  Two  days’  journey  brought 
Him  to  Bethany,  the  sweet  village 
in  a nook  of  Olivet,  looking  out 
from  among  its  engirdling  trees  over 
the  wilderness  to  the  SB.  and  the 
gorge  of  the  Dead  Sea,  to  the  blue 
uplands  of  Moab  beyond. 

Lazarus  was  dead  when  the  mes- 
senger reached  Jesus,  for  now  he  had 
been  in  the  grave  four  days.  At  the 
word  of  Jesus  he  that  was  dead  came 
forth ; the  sorrow  of  his  sisters  was 
changed  to  ecstatic  j oy . This  mighty 
miracle  so  moved  the  people  in  Jeru- 
salem that  His  enemies  felt  that  any 
moment  He  might  be  accepted  as 
Messiah;  now  or  never  they  must 
strike.  Jesus  therefore  retired  to  the 
village  of  Ephraim,  probably  identi- 
cal with  Et-Taiijibeh,  in  the  wild 
hill  country  NE.  of  Bethel,  whence 
He  soon  set  out  on  His  last  journey 
to  Jerusalem.  He  seems  to  have 
passed  through  Samaria,  Galilee,  and 
Beraea,  approaching  the  city  finally 
by  way  of  Jericho.  On  the  way  ten 
lepers  were  healed,  and  only  one,  a 
Samaritan,  returned  to  thank  Him. 

The  parable  of  the  importunate 
widow  gives  the  picture  of  an  Ori- 
ental court  of  law.  In  that  of  the 
Pharisee  and  the  publican,  the  self- 
righteous  hypocrite  is  held  up  to 
the  scorn  of  all  time. 

Mothers  brought  their  children  for 
His  blessing.  He  welcomed  them 
gladljr,  “for  of  such,”  He  said,  “is 
the  kingdom  of  God.”  “Children,” 
writes  the  poet  Sa’adeh,  “are  free 
from  avarice ; they  care  no  more  for 
handfuls  of  silver  than  for  handfuls 
of  dust.”  And  the  evil  of  avarice  is 
at  once  illustrated.  The  rich  young- 
ruler,  whom  Jesus  loved,  would  not 
give  his  wealth  even  to  buy  the  king- 
dom of  God. 

Coming  across  the  level  tracts  from 
Jordan  to  Jericho,  the  great  hills 
before  them  which  they  must  climb 
to  reach  Jerusalem,  Jesus  again 
reminded  His  disciples  of  the  fate 
that  awaited  Him  there.  Ambitions 
among  them  were  not  abashed,  even 
in  presence  of  this  solemn  decla- 
ration ; they  had  not  yet  learned  the 
lesson  that  greatness"  in  His  king- 
dom is  not  in  lordship  but  service. 

The  miserable  hovels  of  modern 
Eriha  convey  no  suggestion  of  the 
beauty  of  the  ancient  city,  at  the  foot 
of  the  mountains  amid  orchards  and 
palms,  with  cultivated  plains.  As 
Jesus  and  His  band  approached,  two 
blind  men  by  the  wayside  claimed 
His  compassion,  and  their  eyes  were 
opened.  I’assing  through  Jericho, 
the  chief  publican,  Zacchaeus,  a man 
short  of  stature,  climbed  a syco- 
more  tree  to  catch  a glimpse  of  the 
Prophet  who  cared  something  for 
publicans.  Jesus  saw  him,  and  by 
kindly  interest  attracted  and  won 
him  for  the  kingdom. 

Nearing  Jerusalem  the  disciples 
felt  they  were  on  the  eve  of  great 
events.  Should  the  kingdom  of  God 
at  once  appear  ? Tire  i)arable  of  the 
talents  with  its  melancholy  clo.se  re- 
pressed their  vain  hopes,  in  the  city 
the  enemies  of  Jesus  were  on  the

alert,  devising  means  for  His  appre- 
hension. He  arrived  in  Bethany  six 
days  before  the  Feast  of  the  Passover. 
In  the  house  of  Simon  the  leper,  Mary 
anointed  His  head  and  feet  with  oint- 
ment. Many  Jews  walked  out  from 
Jerusalem  to  see  Him  and  Lazarus. 
This  was  on  the  Sabbath  evening. 

In  the  morning  of  the  first  day  of 
the  week  came  a momentary  gleam  as 
of  victory.  As  He  rode  towards  Jeru- 
salem on  an  ass,  great  multitudes  came 
forth  to  greet  Him.  Clothes  and  palm 
branches  they  spread  in  the  5vay,  and 
cried,  “ Blessed  is  the  King  that  com- 
eth  in  the  name  of  the  Lord.” 

Suddenly,  turning  the  shoulder  of 
Olivet,  He  beheld  the  whole  city  of 
the  Great  King  spread  out  before 
Him,  glowing  with  splendor  in  the 
morning  sun.  How  proudly  she 
reared  her  battlements  beyond  the 
valley;  how  beautiful  her  Temple 
and  her  palaces,  how  strong  her  ma- 
jestic towers  ! But  in  her  coming 
rejection  of  Himself  He  read  the  sen- 
tence that  doomed  her  pride,  her 
strength,  and  beauty  to  destruction. 
Truer  patriot’s  tears  were  never  shed 
then  when  Jesus  wept  over  the  doom 
of  Jerusalem.  Winding  down,  possi- 
bly through  Gethsemane,To  the  bot- 
tom of  the  Kidron,  they  climbed  the 
steeps  beyond,  and  entered  the  city. 
That  day  He  moved  about  unhin- 
dered, and  at  eve  returned  to  Bethany. 

Approaching  the  city  on  the  second 
day  of  the  week,  He  sought  fruit 
upon  a wayside  fig  tree ; finding  none. 
He  cursed  it,  and  passed  on.  He 
turned  out  again  from  the  Tenijile 
the  money-changers  who  had  pro- 
faned His  Father’s  house.  He  exer- 
cised undisputed  authority.  The 
populace  supporting  Him,  His  ene- 
mies held  themselves  in  check.  Eve- 
ning found  Him  once  more  in  the 
retirement  of  Bethany. 

The  third  day  the  disciples  saw  the 
fig  tree  withered,  and  the  incident 
was  used  to  teach  the  value  of  faith. 
In  the  Temple  the  Sadducees  de- 
manded by  what  authority  He  acted. 
He  asked  them  first  to  say  whether 
the  baptism  of  John  was  from  heaven 
or  from  men,  and  caught  them  on  the 
horns  of  a dilemma.  For  reasons  of 
their  own  they  professed  ignorance, 
and  Jesus  declined  to  answer  their 
question.  Then  by  the  parables  of 
the  two  sons,  the  vineyard,  and  the 
wedding  feast,  He  ernphasized  the 
vanity  of  profession  without  obedi- 
ence in  religion,  and  showed  how 
great  privileges  misused  issue  in 
heavy  penalties. 

A question  as  to  the  legality  of  pay- 
ing tribute  to  the  emperor  elicited 
His  famous  reply,  on  being  shown  a 
coin  with  Caesar’s  image  on  it : “ Ren- 
der unto  Caisar  the  things  which  are 
Caesar’s,  and  unto  God  the  things 
which  are  God’s.”  Baffling  the  Sad- 
ducees, with  their  cunningly  con- 
structed case  as  -to  marriage  in  a

He  is  not  the  God  of  the  dead.  Then

commandment  in  the  law— a question 
often  discussed  by  the  scholars  of  the 
Rabbis.  Jesus  summarized  the  whole 
in  two  requirements,  love  to  God  and 
love  to  man.  The  lawyer  was  satis- 
fied, and  Jesus  said  to  him,  “Thou 
art  not  far  from  the  kingdom  of 
God.”  Then  He  turned  to  question 
the  Pharisees,  They  confessed  that 
Messiah  should  be  the  son  of  David. 

“ How  then,”  said  He,  “ if  He  be  his  i 
son,  does  David  in  the  spirit  call  i 
Him  Lord?”  His  questioners  were  | 
silenced.  Then  followed  a discourse  ] 
of  warning  and  rebuke  of  those  i 
“leaders”  who  had  so  grievously!

show  wherein  the  value  of  a gift  for 
God  consists. 

Certain  Greeks,  desiring  to  see 
Jo.  12. 20-36.  Jesus,  suggest  to  Him  the  glory  to 
be  achieved  as  the  Saviour  of  all 
nations.  A vision  of  the  sacrifice 
through  which  this  glory  is  to  be 
won  depresses  Him  for  a moment, 
but  He  is  cheered  by  a voice  from 
heaven.

tion  of  the  company.  Then  came  to 
Jesus  thoughts  of  the  contrast  be- 
tween that  gorgeous  scene  and  the 
utter  desolation  that  should  soon 
overwhelm  the  holy  mountain.  He 
painted  a lurid  picture  of  the  calami- 
ties of  these  last  days,  enforcing  the 
lessons  He  sought  to  teach  by  the  par- 
ables of  the  good  man  of  the  house, 
the  good  and  evil  servants,  the  ten 
virgins,  the  talents,  and  the  sheep 
and  the  goats. 

That  same  evening,  whereon  the 
fourth  day  began,  the  leaders  of  the 
various  sects  whom  He  had  so  de- 
nounced, forgetting  their  differences 
in  a common  sentiment  of  hatred 
towards  the  Prophet  of  Nazareth,  met 
to  plan  His  murder.  They  feared  to 
make  a public  arrest  M'hile  the  crowds 
were  yet  in  the  city  for  the  feast,  lest 
a tumult  should  ensue.

Their  purposes  were  hastened  by 
the  offer  of  Judas  Iscariot,  one  of  the 
TAvelve,  to  betray  Him  quietly  into 
their  hands.  Jesus  knew  of  the  plot, 
and  mentioned  it,  but  none  under- 
stood. So,  for  a pitiful  thirty  pieces 
of  silver,  the  Saviour  of  the  world 
was  to  be  given  up  to  His  foes  by  a 
professed  friend.  Most  of  those  who 
heard  Jesus  and  saw  His  works  un- 
happily remained  impenitent  and 
unbelieving.  Some  rulers  were  con- 
vinced, but  feared  to  confess.  This 
dav  Jesus  again  taught,  warning  men 
that  His  message  was  of  God,'  and 
that  bv  its  reception  or  rejection 
they  should  be  judged. 

The  fifth  day  Jesus  sent  two  of  His 
disciples  to  prepare  for  the  Passover 
in  an  upper  room  to  which  He  directed 
them.  Thither,  as  day  declined.  He 
followed  with  the  rest.

there,  in  Gethsemane,  witnessed  in 
part  only  by  the  chosen  three,  Jesus 
underwent  His  mysterious  agony. 
Thither,  knowing  His  haunts,  tfudas 
led  the  band  charged  to  apprehend 
Him.  By  a treacherous  kiss  he 
pointed  out  their  victim.  Peter  was 
ready  to  fight  for  his  Master,  and 
smote  the  servant  of  the  high  priest 
with  his  sword;  but  Jesus  reproved 
him,  and  healed  the  servant’s  wound. 

The  disciples  were  dispersed,  and 
Jesus  was  hurried  first  to  the  house 
of  Annas,  father-in-law  of  Caiaphas 
the  high-priest.  Annas  had  Him 
bound,  and  sent  prisoner  to  Caiaphas. 
The  house  of  the  latter  probably  con- 
sisted of  rooms  built  in  a square 
round  an  open  court,  entrance  being 
obtained  by  a door  which  was  kept 
by  an  attendant.  John,  having  ac- 
quaintance here,  secured  the  admis- 
sion of  Peter  also.  So  lamentably  did 
Peter’s  courage  fail  him  that  thrice 
he  denied  all  knowledge  of  Jesus, 
lapsing  even  into  oaths  almost  for- 
gotten since  the  days  of  the  old  fisher 
life.  One  look  from  Jesus  sent  him 
forth  in  tears  of  bitter  repentance. 

The  Sanhedrin,  the  great  council  of 
the  Jews,  assem  iled  here.  Jesus  was 
subjected  to  a mock  trial.  Suborned 
witnesses  disagreeing,  Jesus  at  last 
acknowledged  His  Messiahship  and 
essential  Deity,  whereupon  He  was 
condemned  to  death,  and  treated 
with  the  grossest  ignominy.

Sentence  could  be  executed  only  by- 
Roman  sanction.  Pilate  the  procura- 
tor would  disdain  their  religious  ques- 
tions. Therefore  to  him  they  accused 
Jesus  of  treason,  in  making-  Himself 
a king.  Meantime,  Judas,  repenting 
too  late  his  treachery,  flung  back  the 
price  of  innocent  blood  to  his  em- 
ployers, and  in  remorse  went  out  and 
hanged  himself. 

Pilate’s  first  examination  proved 
Jesus  innocent.  This  stimulated  the 
fury  of  His  accusers.  Plearing  that 
He  belonged  to  Galilee,  Pilate  sent 
Him  to  Herod  Antipas,  son  of  Herod 
the  Great.  “ That  fox  ” hoped  for  en- 
tertainment by  the  miracle  - worker : 
disappointed,  lie  let  his  minions  mock 
and  put  Him  to  shame,  and  sent  Him 
back  to  Pilate. 

The  procurator  suggested  a com- 
promise. Jesus  was  innocent ; but  to 
save  the  dignity  of  His  accusers,  he 
would  scourge  Plim,  dishonor  Him 
in  the  eyes  of  the  people,  and  turn 
His  pretensions  to  ridicule.  Then,  as 
the  custom  was  to  liberate  one  pris- 
oner at  the  feast,  he  would  let  Jesus 
go.  But  no;  the  Jews  would  have 
Barabbas  the  murderer.  Jesus  must 
die.  Disregarding  a warning  from 
his  wife,  who  had  suffered  many 
things  in  a dream  “ because  of  this 
just  man,”  Pilate  gave  Him  up  to 
mockery  and  abuse.  He  led  Him 
forth,  scourged,  crowned  with  thorns, 
clothed  in  purple,  and,  evidently  try- 
ing to  move  the  peop.le’s  sympathies, 
exclaimed,  “ Behold  the  man ! ” 

Hearing,  in  the  fresh  tumult  that 
arose,  that  Jesus  claimed  to  be  the 
Son  of  God,  his  superstitious  dread 
was  stirred,  and  he  would  fain  yet 
have  saved  Him.  But  the  ominous 
shout,  “ If  thou  let  this  man  go,  thou 
art  not  Caesar’s  friend,”  decided  him, 
and  Jesus  was  given  up  to  be  cruci- 
fied. Carrying  His  cross,  helped  part 
of  the  way  by  Simon  the  Cyrenian, 
with  two  thieves  doomed  to  death. 
He  was  hurried  to  Calvary  and  there 
crucified.  In  His  agony  He  yet  prayed 
for  His  murderers.  “ Father,  forgive 
them;  for  they  know  not  what  they 
do.”  One  of  the  thieves  dying  by 
Him  repented,  appealed  to  Him,  and 
received  the  assurance,  “ To-day  shalt 
thou  be  with  me  in  Paradise.”  The 
executioners  claimed  the  garments  of 
the  crucified.  These  were  divided, 
but  for  Jesus’  vesture  they  cast  lots. 
In  tender  care  for  His  mother.  He 
asked  John  to  be  a son  to  her.  At 
midday  thick  darkness  fell,  and  lasted 
for  three  hours.  In  this  gloom  Jesus 
spoke  four  times:  “My  God,  my  God, 
why  hast  thou  forsaken  me?”  “I 
thirst,”  expressing  the  awful  agony 
of  his  condition.  “It  is  finished;” 
and  finally,  “Father,  into  thy  hands 
1 commend  my  spirit.” 

His  “loud  voice”  showed  physical 
energies  unimpaired  to  the  last. 
Nature  quivered  in  sympathy  at  the 
moment  of  His  death : there  was  a 
great  earthquake,  and  the  veil  of  the 
Temple  was  rent  in  twain.  The  cen- 
turion in  charge  of  the  execution 
exclaimed  in  amazement,  “ Truly  this 
man  was  the  Son  of  God.” 

The  bodies  must  be  removed  before 
the  Sabbath ; death  must  be  hastened 
by  breaking  the  victims’  legs.  Thus

the  thieves  were  treated;  Jesus  was 
already  dead.  One  thrust  a spear  into 
His  side,  and  there  issued  blood  and

m company  with  Nicodeinus  wrapped 
it  in  linen  cloth  with  spices,  and  laid

Offices,  Concordance,  under  Jesus.] 

JEWISH  [jewTsh]  HISTORY  BETWEEN  THE 
TESTAMENTS.  The  whole  period  falls  into  four 
epochs.  [See  general  summary  of  Jewish  His- 
tory under  Chronology.] 

I.  Persian  Period  (537-330  b.c.),  Nehemiah 
(444  B.c.)  had  been  a favorite  at  the  court  to 
which,  ninety  years  before,  the  Jews  had  owed 
their  return  from  exile ; and,  on  the  whole,  the 
restored  remnant  remained  loval  to  the  “ great 
king,”  in  spite  of  the  “tribute'”  and  other  gall- 
ing features  of  their  subjection.  Many  Jews, 
however,  were  removed  to  Babylonia  and  else- 
where by  Artaxerxes  Ochus,  about  350  b.c.,  for 
taking  part  in  a revolt.  To  the  last  century  of 
Persian  rule  belong  the  final  breach  between'the 
Jews  and  the  Samaritans,  the  gradual  replace- 
ment among  the  Jews  of  Hebrew  bv  the  wide- 
spread Aramaic  dialect,  and  the  beginning  of 
the  recovery  of  Galilee  to  the  faith  of  Jehovah. 

II.  Greek  Period  (330-1G7  b.c.).  Alexander  the 
Great,  who  ushers  in  this  period,  besides  grant- 
ing peculiar  privileges  to  Jerusalem,  bestowed 
marks  of  favor  upon  the  Jews  settled  by  him 
in  his  new  city,  Alexandria.  It  was  here  that 
Judaism  entered  into  its  most  intimate  relations 
with  the  Greek  world  of  thought  and  literature. 
On  Alexander’s  death  (323  b.c.)  his  conquests 
passed  into  the  hands  of  his  generals ; and  dur- 
ing the  struggles  which  ensued  Palestine  shared 
in  the  confusion,  until  the  battle  of  Ipsus  (301 
B.c.)  made  the  kings  of  Egypt  (the  Ptolemies)  its 
overlords  for  a full  century,  in  spite  of  several 
attempts  on  the  part  of  the  rival  kings  of  Syria 
(the  Seleucids)  to  overthrow  them.  The  new 
sovereign  power  was  both  stronger  and  juster 
than  the  Persian  ; and  under  it  the  government 
at  Jerusalem  in  the  hands  of  the  high-priestly 
dynasty,  assisted  by  a sort  of  senate  including 
the  higher  ranks  of  the  priesthood,  grew  and 
consolidated.  Outside  Palestine,  too,  the  Jews 
waxed  influential,  not  only  in  Alexandria,  but 
also  in  Libya,  Cyrene,  Asia  Minor,  and  all  parts 
of  Syria,  where  they  settled  either  by  the  com- 
p^ulsion  or  favor  of  Ptolemies  and  Seleucids. 
From  the  other  side  also  foreign  intercourse  was 
fostered  by  Greek  settlements  in  Northern  Pales- 
tine, especially  about  the  Sea  of  Galilee. 

The  most  momentous  outcome  of  all  this  was 
the  Greek  version  of  the  Hebrew  Scriptures, 
called  the  Septuagint  (7.V.),  which  did  much 
to  break  down  Jewish  isolation,  and  fixed  the 
type  qf  language  in  which  the  New  Testament 
IS  written.  The  influence  of  Hellenic  culture 
was  at  work  both  in  the  life  and  literature 
of  the  Jews  during  the  Ptolemaic  supremacy 
(320-198  B.C.),  but  its  effects  became  clearer  after 
19.H  B.C.,  when  Antiochus  the  Great  brought 
Judaea  under  Seleucid  or  Svrian  sway. 

The  priestly  nobility  grew  more  worldly  in 
spirit  as  Hellenism  advanced.  The  high-priest- 
hood became  an  object  of  base  intrigue.  Under 
Antiochus  Epiphanes  it  became  the  fashion 
among  the  upper  classes  to  turn  their  names 
into  Greek  forms  (e.r/.  Menelaus  for  Menahem), 
and  in  other  less  innocent  ways  to  obscure  their 
Jewish  origin.  At  length  the  folly  of  Antiochus 
am  his  high-priestly  tools  led  to  a violent  crisis 
and  revolt. 

HI.  Mnccdhfuan  or  Asoionfeaii  Period  (107-03 
B.C.).  The  outrages  upon  the  national  religion 
which  stung  the  Maccabees  (q.v.)  into  revolt 
stirred  the  pqoiile  to  realize  the  value  of  their 
distinctive  faith.  From  their  ranks  hail  arisen 

67 


a party  called  the  Chasidim,  distinguished  for 
piety.  The  Maccabaean  movement  carried  these 
with  it,  and  became  a rally  of  the  whole  nation 
to  the  faith  of  its  fathers.  By  the  wars  of  lib- 
eration from  the  yoke  of  Syria  the  religious  end 
was  attained.  The  Temple  was  restored  and 
solemnly  rededicated  (105  B.c.)j  the  rival  temple 
on  Mount  Gerizim  razed  along  with  the  Samari- 
tan capital  itself  (129  B.c.),  and  the  Maccabajan 
leader  recognized  as  “ Governor  and  High  Priest 
for  ever,  until  there  should  arise  a faithful 
prophet.” 

But  the  mass  of  the  nation  was  now  possessed 
by  the  spirit  of  foreign  aggression ; and  against 
this  the  successors  of  the  quiet  Chasidim,  whose 
expectation  was  from  God  and  not  from  human 
agency,  constantly  protested.  “ The  idea  of 
Judaism”  Avas  in  danger  in  the  eyes  of  this 
growing  party  of  religious  protest,  which  in  the 
last  years  of  Hyrcanus  (135-100  b.c.)  became 
knoAvn  as  Pharisees  {q.v.)  {Peritshim,  or  “ Sepa- 
ratists”). These  men,  whose  stronghold  wns 
among  the  Scribes  or  professed  students  of  the 
Law,  by  degrees  gained  the  ear  of  the  people. 
They  indeed  suffered  a severe  check  under  Alex- 
ander Janmeus  (105-78  b.c.),  in  wdiose  favor  a 
revulsion  of  popular  feeling  took  place.  But 
the  lost  ground  wns  more  than  made  up  under 
his  widow  Salome  (78-09  b.c.),  wdio  separated  the 
secular  and  sacred  headshij)  (her  son  Hyrcanus 
IL  was  high-priest).  About  this  time  the  San- 
hedrin iq.v.)  came  more  under  the  influence  of 
the  Scribes  than  heretofore ; and  so  it  remained 
henceforth.  On  the  death  of  Salome  internal 
dissensions,  centring  round  Hyrcanus  and  his 
brother  Aristobulus,  gave  the  Romans  their 
chance.  Under  Pompey  they  occupied  Jeru- 
salem, abolished  the  kingship',  and  restored  the 
high -priestly  dignity  to  Hyrcanus. 

IV.  Roman  Period.  While  the  Pharisees 
gained  by  the  change,  wdiich  robbed  the  Sad- 
ducees  (q.v.)  of  political  poAver,  it  sharpened 
the  contrast  betAveen  the  Pharisaic  ideal  and  the 
popular  hope  of  the  restoration  of  the  kingdom. 
Specially  galling  was  it  felt  to  be  Avhen  Antipater, 
of  the  hated  Idumaean  race,  became  the  real 
power  in  the  state  under  Rome,  till  his  death  in 
43  B.C.,  and  Avhen  in  37  b.c.  his  son  Herod  “the 
Great  ” became  by  Rome’s  aid  king  of  Judaea. 

“ By  birth  an  Idumaean,  by  profession  a Jew, 
by  necessity  a Roman,  by  culture  and  by  choice 
a Greek,”  this  unscrupulous  monarch  main- 
tained himself  only  by  inspiring  fear.  He  filled 
the  chief  offices  with  obscure  men  of  priestly 
descent  from  Babylon  and  Alexandria,  and 
abolished  the  life  tenure  of  the  high-priesthood. 
He  tried  to  overcome  the  national  feeling  against 
him  by  diverting  attention  to  a great  national 
object  — v/g:.  the  building  of  a new  Temple, 
begun  in  18  b.c.  His  death  in  4 b.c.  was  the 
signal  for  an  insurrection,  wdiich  the  Romans 
sternly  repressed,  handing  over  the  country  to 
three  sons  of  Herod.  Of  these,  Philip  had' the 
land  east  of  Jordan ; Antipas,  Galilee  and  Persea ; 
Archelaus,  Judaea  and  Samaria.  After  0 a.d., 
Archelaus’  kingdom  passed  under  the  direct 
rule  of  Rome  — Pontius  Pilate  being  procurator 
from  20  to  30  a.d. 

JOB  [job].  The  Book  of  Job  is  so  called  from 
the  name  of  the  man  whose  history  forms  the 
subject  of  it.  It  consists  of  these  parts : — 

I.  The  prologue  (ch.  1,  2),  wdiich,  like  the  epi- 
logue (cli.  42.  7-17),  is  written  in  prose. 

II.  The  debate  between  Job  and  his  friends 
on  the  subject  of  his  afflictions  (ch.  4-31),  Avrit- 
ten  in  poetry,  and  consisting  of  three  circles  of 
speeches  (ch.  4-14,  15-21,  and  22-31). 

III.  The  speeches  of  Elihu  (ch.  32-37). 

IV.  The  speeches  of  the  Lord  out  of  the 
storm-cloud. 

The  age  of  the  book  <umnot  be  ascertained  with 
any  preci.sion.  It  must  be  distingui.shed  from 
that  of  Job  himself,  which  is  the  patriarchal  age. 


Joel 


BIBLE  DICTIONAKY. 


Jonah 


The  problem  of  the  sufferings  of  the  righteous 
in  God’s  providence  is  touched  upon  already  in 
Jer.  12. 1-4,  and  even  more  fully  in  Hah.  1. 12-17, 
but  a discussion  of  it  so  broad  and  all-sided  as  is 
found  in  Job  is  probably  even  later  than  these 
prophets.  The  principle  upheld  by  the  friends, 
that  affliction  implies  sin  and  God’s  disfavor, 
iust  as  prosperity  implies  His  favor  and  is  a 
token  of  it.  Job’s  own  conscience,  accusing  him 
of  no  sins  to  account  for  his  unexampled  suffer- 
ings, compelled  him  to  deny.  That  Job’s  suffer- 
ings are  meant  to  prove  him,  that  sufferings  are 
the  trial  of  the  righteous,  is  a thought  which  the 
author  suggests  as  his  solution  of  the  problem. 

Though  Job  wavers  under  the  severity  of  his 
trials,  and  though  the  insistence  of  his  friends 
that  he  is  a sinner  drives  him  in  antagonism  to 
them  to  assert  that  God  is  unrighteous,  this  is 
more  a logical  than  a religious  position.  His 
former  experience  of  God  and  fellowship  with 
Him  is  an  anchor  of  the  soul  both  sure  and  stead- 
fast, which  moors  him  until  he  outrides  the 
storm.  Job  assures  himself  that,  as  he  knows 
God,  God  knows  him  — his  witness  is  on  high; 
and  he  appeals  to  God  his  witness  against  God 
his  persecutor.  He  rises  to  the  conception  that 
religion  is  reciprocal.  The  soul’s  consciousness 
of  God  gives  God:  in  this  consciousness  God 
gives  Himself.  And  whatever  darkness  may  be 
about  him  now,  he  Joioivs  that  his  Kedeemer  liv- 
eth,  and  that  he  shall  see  God. 

Job’s  longing  that  God  should  appear  is 
granted;  and  His  manifestation  in  answer  to 
His  suffering  creature  supersedes  explanations. 
Job  feels  that  formerly  he  had  only  heard  of 
God,  but  now  his  eyes  see  Him.  And  his  prob- 
lem, which,  like  a rock  in  the  sea,  before  raised 
angry  surfs,  is  now  submerged  in  the  deep  tide 
of  his  sense  of  God. 

JOEL  [jo’elj  most  probably  lived  about  7<0  B.C., 
a few  years  before  Amos  and  Hosea.  In  his  book 
there  are  marked  coincidences  with  Amos  (ef.  ch. 
3. 16  with  Amos  1. 2,  and  ch.  3. 18  with  Amos  9. 13). 
The  book  falls  into  two  parts : I.  Ch.  1.  to  2. 17.— 
There  is  to  be  a “ day  of  Jehovah  ” — i.e.  a day  of 
His  pow'er  and  judgment  — for  Judah  and  Jeru- 
salem, symbolized  by  a plague  of  locusts,  whose 
devastation  is  described.  To  meet  the  calamity, 
Joel  calls  for  prayer  and  fasting. 

II.  Ch.  2. 18  to  3.  21.  — Jehovah’s  answer  to  the 
prayer  for  help  is  a promise  of  relief  from  fam- 
ine, of  abundance  of  rain  and  rich  harvests  to 
make  up  for  the  spoiling  of  the  locusts  (2. 18-27). 
A new  spirit  is  to  come  from  God  upon  all  the 
people,  so  that,  when  days  of  fiery  trial  shall 
come,  they  shall  remember  to  call  upon  Him  and 
be  saved  (28-32).  The  Phoenicians  in  their  turn 
are  to  be  sold  by  the  Jews  into  bondage  and 
exile  (3.  1-8).  The  nations  are  summoned  to 
iudgment  (9-14).  In  the  terrors  of  that  day  Je- 
rusalem shall  find  refuge  in  its  Lord,  while  the 
persecuting  nations  shall  be  desolate  (15-21).  The 
style  of  Joel  is  smooth  and  flowing,  as  of  one  who 
had  himself  (unlike  Hosea  and  Jeremiah)  no  in- 
ward struggles, whatever  might  be  the  national  or 
the  individual  outlook.  [See  Minor  Prophets.] 

JOHN  [John]  (ST.),  the  Gospel  of.  The  fourth 
Gospel  has,  from  the  earliest  notice  of  it,  been 
attributed  to  the  apostle  John,  the  younger  son 
of  Zebedee  and  Salome.  His  mother  was  proba- 
bly the  sister  of  our  Lord’s  mother  (19.  25).  The 
historical  evidence  has  been  strengthened  by  re- 
cent discoveries.  It  is  now  ^uite  certain  that 
this  Gospel  was  used  by  Justin  Martyr;  that  it 
was  one  of  the  four  combined  in  the  Hiatessaron 
of  Tatian  (about  170  a.d.).  It  was  accepted  by 
Irenaeus,  the  pupil  of  Polycarp,  himself  the  friend 
and  pupil  of  St.  John.  The  internal  evidence  is 
equally  strong.  Though  the  apostle  does  not 
name  himself,  he  indicates  that  he  is  the  writer. 

The  New  Testament  history  is  silent  respecting 
this  apostle  after  the  council  at  Jerusalena  (50 
A.D.).  but  he  was  undoubtedly  in  Ephesus  dur- 


ing his  later  years.  Banished  thence  to  Patmos, 
presumably  in  the  reign  of  Domitian,  he  re- 
turned to  Ephesus,  and  there  lived  to  an  ex- 
treme old  age,  the  last  survivor  of  the  Twelve. 
To  this  fact  the  last  chapter  of  the  Gospel  refers. 
His  writings,  and  the  notices  of  him  in  the  other 
Gospels,  reveal  in  the  “ apostle  of  love  ” a man 
of  strong  character.  His  “ love  ” implied  hatred 
of  evil,  and  his  writings  denounce  it. 

The  Gospel  was  written  at  Ephesus,  as  is  gen- 
erally held,  not  long  before  the  deatln  of  the 
apostle,  nearly  a generation  after  the  writing  of 
other  Gospels.  . 

The  style  is  unusually  simple ; the  thought  is 
unusually  profound.  The  writer  makes  frequent 
comments  on  the  events  and  sayings  he  records, 
and  sometimes  it  is  difficult  to  distinguish  be- 
tween what  he  reports  our  Lord  as  saying  and 
what  he  himself  says.  The  facts  are  selected 
with  the  design  stated  in  ch.  20.  31,  to  present 
our  Lord  as  an  object  of  faith  and  the  sourceT  of 
life.  But  the  contents  of  the  Gospel  show  that 
the  selection  has  also  been  made  to  contrast  the 
unbelief  and  the  faith  which  met  the  Incarnate 
Word  when  He  “ dwelt  among  us.”  In  the  pro- 
logue the  plan  of  the  Gospel  is  suggested  (1. 
11-14).  Accordingly  the  Gospel  emphasizes  tha 
three  great  truths : the  person  of  Christ ; the  re- 
jection of  this  incarnate  Saviour ; the  new  life 
granted  to  believers  as  children  of  God. 

JOHN  (ST.),  the  First  Epistle  of,  was  attributed 
to  the  apostle  John  by  Christian  writers  of 
the  succeeding  generation.  In  thought,  dic- 
tion, and  style  it  closely  resembles  the  fourth 
Gospel.  Whether  it  was  written  before  or  after 
the  Gospel  cannot  be  determined.  The  date  is 
not  earlier  than  90  a.d.,  though  it  may  have  been 
Avritten  some  years  later,  the  contents  pointing 
to  the  close  of  the  first  century.  The  place  of 
writing  was  Ephesus,  as  is  generally  admitted. 
The  occasion  was  evidently  the  growth  of  error 
among  the  Christians  in  and  about  Ephesus,  to 
whom  the  epistle  was  originally  sent. 

This  error  was  (1)  a failure  to  attain  unto  moral 
felloAvship  with  God  through  Jesus  Christ;  (2) 
the  source  of  this  failure  — viz.  a denial  of  the 
realitv  of  the  incarnation. 

JOHN  (ST.),  the  Second  Epistle  of,  is  addressed 
“to  the  elect  lady  and  her  children”  (ver.  1), 
referring  either  to  a church,  or  more  proba- 
bly to  an  individual  Christian  woman  now  un- 
known. Some  of  her  children  had  met  with  the 
apostle,  wfflo  rejoiced  in  their  Christian  conduct 
(ver.  4).  He  writes  to  w'arn  against  the  error  op- 
posed in  the  first  epistle.  . 

JOHN  (ST.),  the  Third  Epistle  of.  Gams 
(=Caius),  to  whom  this  letter  was  sent,  cannot 
be  identified  with  any  person  thus  nanied  in  the 
rest  of  the  New  Testament.  He  lived  not  far 
from  Ephesus,  as  is  indicated  by  the  epistle, 
which  w^as  occasioned  by  his  hospitality  to  Chris- 
tian teachers  (ver.  2-4),  which  the  apostle  asks 
Gains  to  continue  (ver.  5-8).  The  second  and 
third  epistles  of  St.  John  reveal  something  of 
the  inner  life  of  the  early  Christian  communities 

*^SoNAH  [jo^nah],  the  Book  of.  All  that  we  knoAV 
of  Jonah,  bevond  what  is  told  in  this  book,  we 
learn  from  2 Kings  14.  25,  which  tells  how  he 
predicted  to  Jeroboam  II.  his  victories  over  the 
Syrians.  His  supposed  tomb  is  shown  near  Nin- 

^Tn 'the  Book  of  Jonah  he  appears  as  a prophet 
with  a unique  mission  — wz.  that  of  preachmg 
repentance  to  the  great  city  of  Nineveh.  The 
motive  of  the  storv  is  plain  — to  rebuke  the  ex- 
clusive spirit  of  Israel,  and  its  rejoicing  over  the 
calamities  of  alien  nations.  The  lesson  is  the  more 
telling  from  the  fact  that  Assyria  was  the  most 
dangerous  foe  of  Palestine.  In  form  the  book  is 
not  a prophecy  in  the  ordinary  sense.  Its  place 
among  the  prophets  is  justified  by  its  educative 
character.  [See  Minor  Prophets.]

Judges 


JONATHAN  [j6n'a-than]  (“whom  Jehovah 

gave”),  the  eldest  son  of  Saul,  and  friend  of 
»avid,  whose  cause  he  generously  espoused  (1 
Sam.  20. 34).  He  was  a man  of  great  strength  and 
courage  (2  Sam.  1.  22, 23).  He  fell,  with  his  father 
and  two  brothers,  at  the  battle  of  Gilboa  (1  Sam. 
31.  2,  8),  leaving  one  son  five  years  old,  Merib- 
baal  or  Mephibosheth  (2  Sam.  4.  4:  cf.  1 Chr.  8. 
34),  and  was  lamented  by  David  in  the  elegy 
called  “ the  Song  of  the  Bow  ” (2  Sam.  1.  17-27). 

JOPPA  D’op'pa]  (Japho  in  Josh.  19.  46).  the  sea- 
port of  Jerusalem,  traded  with  Tyre  and  Tarshish 
(2  Chr.  2.  16 ; Jonah  1.  3 ; Ezra  3. 7 ; Acts  9. 42).  It 
is  now  a walled  town  of  7,000  inhabitants  {Jaffa), 
with  fine  orange  gardens. 

JORDAN  [jor'dan],  the  chief  river  of  Palestine, 
flowing  south  for  100  miles  through  a deep  valley. 
Its  three  sources  are  at  the  foot  of  Hermon.  In  its 
course  are  two  lakes  — the  Sea  of  Merom  and  the 
Sea  of  Galilee.  From  the  Sea  of  Galilee  to  the 
Dead  Sea  the  Jordan  Valley  (G/tor)  is  65  miles, 
falling  from  682  to  1,292  feet  below  sea-level. 
The  average  width  of  the  river  is  not  more  than 
30  yards,  and  it  varies  in  depth  from  3 feet  at  the

III.  contains  at  the  conclusion  a solemn  ad- 
dress by  Joshua  to  the  assembled  people  (22-24). 

JOSIAH  [jo-si 'ah]  (2  Kings  ch.  22,  23),  son  of 
Amon,  king  of  Judah  from  639  to  608  b.c.  In  the 
eighteenth  year  of  his  reign  the  Book  of  the  Law 
was  discovered,  and  thereafter  the  high-places 
throughout  the  country  were  suppressed.  He  was 
defeated  and  slain  by  Pharaoh -Necho  at  Megiddo. 
Under  his  sons  Jehoahaz  (609),  Jehoiachim  (608- 
598)  andZedekiah  (597-586)  the  kingdom  of  Judah 
was  by  turns  under  Egyptian  and  Babylonian 
domination,  till  its  extinction  in  586  b.c. 

JOT  [jot]  (Mat.  5.  18),  a transliteration  of  iota, 
the  name  of  the  smallest  letter  in  the  Greek  alpha- 
bet ; used  metaphorically  for  the  smallest  thing. 

JUBILEE.  [See  Sabbatical  Yeak.] 

JUD.ffiA  [ju-die'a),  or  JUDAH,  the  land  of  the 
Jews,  a name  applied  sometimes  to  the  whole 
land  of  Palestine,  sometimes  to  the  southern 
division  only.  It  was  used  in  the  wider  sense  at 
the  close  of  the  Captivity, 
most  of  those  who  re- 
turned having  belonged 
to  the  ancient  kingdom 
of  Judah  (Hag.  1.  l,  14; 
2. 2).  , 
Under  the  Romans,  and 
in  the  time  of  Christ,  the 
name  was  restricted  to 
the  southernmost  divi- 


sion ; the  northern  being 
Galilee,  and  the  middle.

fords  to  7,  8,  and  10  feet.  The  current  is  very 
rapid.  The  river  was  miraculously  crossed  by  the 
Israelites  (Josh.  3. 15),  and  by  Elijah  and  Elisha 
(2  Kings  2. 8, 14).  In  its  waters  Jesiis  was  baptized 
by  John  the  Baptist  (Mark  1.  9). 

JOSEPH  [jo'seph],  son  of  Jacob  and  Rachel, 
father  of  Ephraim  and  Manasseh,  and  thus  an- 
cestor of  the  people  of  the  northern  kingdom. 

Sold  into  Egypt  by  his  brothers,  he  was  impris- 
oned on  a false  accusation  by  his  master’s  wife. 

(A  similar  incident  occurs  in  a story  written  in 
the  time  of  Ramses  IT.  and  preserved  in  a papy- 
rus now  in  the  British  Museum.)  Yet  his  skill  ‘in 
mterpreting  dreams  brought  him  Pharaoh’s 
favor  and  the  first  place  next  the  throne.  Gene- 
sis (ch.  42-47)  relates  how,  during  a famine,  his 
father  and  brothers  came  to  settle  in  Goshen. 

JOSHUA  [j5sh'u-a]  (“deliverer”),  son  of  Nun, 
of  the  tribe  of  Ephraim,  leader  of  the  Israelites 
after  the  death  of  Moses.  He  led  the  people  over 
Jordan,  from  the  fortified  camp  at  Gilgal  as  a 
base  conquered  a considerable  part  of  Palestine, 
divided  the  country  among  the  tribes,  and  died 
a hundred  and  ten  years  old. 

The  Book  of  Jo.shua  is  in  the  Hebrew  Bible  the 
first  of  the  “former  pro])hets”  (.see  Prophets). 

It  takes  up  the  history  where  Deuteronomy 
leaves  it,  and  .so  much  resembles  the  Pentateuch  i..— 

(q.v.)  that  some  scholars  count  all  the  six  books  as  ' ceived  its  name  from  the  series  of  leaders  whose

Samaria  (Luke  2.  4 ; John 
4.  3,  4) ; but  even  then  it 
sometimes  denoted  the 
whole  country  (Acts  28. 
21).  In  its  limited  sense, 
it  formed  part  of  the 
kingdom  of  Herod  the 
Great,  and  included  part 
of  Idumaea,  or  the  land  of 
Edom.  As  a Roman  prov- 
ince, it  was  annexed  to 
the  proconsulate  of  Syria, 
and  was  governed  by  a 
procurator. 

••  The  wilderness  of 
Judiea,”  in  which  John 
began  his  preaching,  and 
where  the  temptation  of  Christ  took  i)lace,  was 
the  eastern  part  of  Judah,  near  the  Dead  Sea, 
and  stretching  toward  Jericho.  It  w^as,  and  is 
still,  a dreary  and  desolate  region  (Mat.  3. 1 ; 4. 1). 

JUDAIZERS  [ju'da-I'zers],  a name  given  to 
those  among  the  early  Jewish  C hristians  wdio 
could  not  believe  that  all  that  had  once  been 
conveyed  to  man  through  the  Law  was  now^  made 
available  in  far  greater  fulness  in  the  Gospel. 
Thus  they  insisted  on  circumcision  as  giving  a 
man  the  right  to  believe  on  Jesus  as  Israel’s  Sa- 
viour. The  Judiazers  w^ere  a dwindling  body 
among  Palestinian  Christians,  and  they  have  left 
no  real  record  of  themselves  in  the  New  Testa- 
ment. When  they  appear  in  history  later  on,  it 
is  under  the  title  of  Ebionites,  representing,  as 
their  predecessors  had  done,  the  “poor”  (Heb. 
el) ion)  and  oppressed  classes  in  Jewdsh  society 
(c/'.  Jas.  2.  5 if. ; 5.  1-6). 

JUDE  [jude]  (ST  ),  the  Epistle  of,  probably  writ- 
ten by  the  Judas  who  w'as  one  of  “the  brethren 
of  the  Lord”  (Mat.  13.  55;  Mark  6.  3),  while  gen- 
eral in  its  address,  w^as  designed  for  a single 
church,  mainly  of  Jewish  Christians.  It  bears  a 
striking  resemblance  to  2 Peter  both  in  thought 
and  in  language.  Its  date  was  probably  be tw^een 
64  and  68  a.d.  [See  Brethren  of  Jesus.]

raised  up  in  a national  crisis  to  assert  the  na-  , 
tion’s  independence.  So  they  are  called  saviours 
(ch  3 9 • 2: 16,  E.  r.).  It  is  said  of  Deborah  that

and  Samuel,  the  last  of  the  line,  appears  as  a 
civil  head  of  the  whole  people. 

The  Book  of  Judges  was  composed  in  the  time 
of  Solomon,  or  not  much  later  (c/.  17.  6;  18.1; 
31).  It  falls  into  three  parts  : —

^^II.  The  main  part  of  the  book  (3.  7 to  16.  31), 
occupied  with  the  exploits  of  the  twelve  3udges, 
viz.  Othniel  (3.  7-11),  Ehud  (3.  12-30b 
Deborah  (4,  5),  Gideon  (6.  1 to  8. 32),  Tola  (10. 1?  2)) 
Jair  (10.  3-5),  Jephthah  (10.  6 to  12.  7),  Ibzan  (12. 
8-10),  Elon  (12. 11, 12),  Abdon  (12. 13-15),  Samson 

(13  to  16).  . ^ 4-1  ^ 

III.  Two  appendices,  giving  the  story  of  the 
founding  of  the  sanctuary  at  Dan  (17,  18),  and 
that  of  the  outrage  at  Gibeah  by  the  Benjamites, 
and  its  punishment  (19-21).  1 

The  chronology  of  the  period  of  the  Judges  is 
peculiarly  difficult.  In  1 Kings  6. 1 it  is  said  that 
the  Temple  was  built  four  hundred  and  eighty 
years  after  the  Exodus.  Now,  if  wo  add  to- 
cetlier  the  numbers  given  in  this  book  tor  all 
judges  together,  we  get  a total  of  four  hundred 
and  ten.  This  has  led  many  to  the  opinion  that 
their  activity  may  have,  in  many  cases,  been  cqn-

KADESH  [ka'desh]  (“  holy,”  similar  word  to  El- 
Kads,  the  modern  name  of  Jerusalem),  the  name 
of  several  cities  in  Palestine  and  Syria.  Kadesh- 
barnea  (Gen  14.  7 ; Num.  13, 26,  etc.),  according  to 
Jewish  and  Christian  tradition,  was  the  later 
Petra,  and  stood  at  the  south-east  angle  of  the 
Holy  Land  (Josh.  15. 3 ; Ezek.  47. 19),  in  the  border 
of  Edom  (Num.  20.  16).  «

KENITES[ke'nites].  The  name  means  “smiths, 
and  denotes  the  gypsy-like  class  of  workers  in 
metal,  who  led  a wandering  life  like  the  smiths 
of  the  Middle  Ages.  We  hear  of  them  among  the 
Amalekites  or  Bedawin  (Num.  24.  20-22 ; 1 Sam. 
15.  6),  as  well  as  in  Palestine  (Judg.  1. 10;  4.  11).

form  one  book  in  the  Hebrev'  Canon,  but  in 
the  LXX.  and  the  Vulgate  are  divided  into^two. 
They  contain  the  history  of  the  people  of  Israel 
from  the  last  vear  of  David,  and  were  largely 
based  upon  the  state  records  of  the  kingdoms  ot 
Judah  and  Israel.  As  they  come  down  to  the 
middle  of  the  Exile,  they  were  probably  written 
during  that  period.  They  treat  — 

I.  The  reign  of  Solomon  (1  Kings  1 to  11) ; 

II.  The  history  of  the  divided  kingdom  (1 

Kings  12  to  2 Kings  17) ; „ -r  i 4-1  « 

III.  That  of  the  kingdom  of  Judah,  after  the 
ten  tribes  had  been  swept  away  (2  Kings  18  to  25). 

KIRJATH-SEPHER  [kir'jath-se'pher],  an  older 

name  for  Debir  (Judg.  1. 11).  It  is  believed  to 
mean  “ city  of  books,”  and  to  indicate  the  knowl-

Lycus,  in  Phrygia.  It  was  one  of  the  richest 
cities  in  Asia  (Rev.  3.  17),  a centre  of  banking 
and  financial  transactions,  and  renowned  for  its 
woollen  manufactures.  In  the  reign  of  Nero  it 
was  destroyed  by  an  earthquake,  and  rebuilt  by 
its  wealthy  inhabitants  at  their  own  cost.  [CY.

LAWYERS  [law'yers].  [See  Scribes.] 

LEAD  [lead]  (Heb.  opherch , Gr.  m olibdos).  The 
metal  was  imported  into  Palestine  apparently 
from  Tyre.  There  are,  however,  mines  in  the 
Lebanon,  as  well  as  in  Sinai,  and  parts  of  Effvpt. 
LEBANON  [leb'a-non].  [See  Mountains.] 
LEEKS  [leeks]  are  included  with  onions  and 
garlic  as  among  the  good  things  of  Egypt  for 
which  the  Israelites  lusted  in  the  wilderness 
(Num.  11.  5),  The  word  chatzir,  here  translated 
“ leeks,”  is  generally  rendered  “grass.” 

LENTILS  [len'tils],  vetch-seed  used  for  food 
(Gen.  25.  30;  2 Sam.  17.  28  and  23.  11 ; Ezek.  4.  9). 


Lentil. 

With  two  separate  pods  and  three  seeds. 

LEOPARD  [leop'ard],  the  largest  and  most 
dangerous  beast  of  prey  now  in  Palestine.  It  is 
found  in  Moab,  on  Carmel,  and  near  Tabor,  The 
cheetah,  or  hunting  leopard,  is  common  on  the 
east  side  of  Jordan. 

LEPROSY  [lep'rii-sy].  The  Hebrew  name  means 

a stroke,  the  disease  being  regarded  as  the 
sorest  infliction  by  the  hand  of  God.  Its  de- 
scription IS  given  in  Leviticus  (ch,  13,  14;  cf. 
Num.  12.  10-1.5),  along  with  the  regulations  con- 
nected with  it.  The  “botch  of  Egypt”  (Deut. 
28  , 27,  35)  was  iirobably  elephantiasis,  which,  it  is 
generally  agreed,  was  the  disease  that  afflicted 
Job,  and  which  is  quite  distinct  from  leprosv. 
Lepers  were  required  to  live  outside  the  canip 
or  city  (Num.  5.  1-4;  12.  10-15),  and  to  warn 
passers-by  by  crying  out  “ Unclean ! Unclean ! ” 

..  [le-vi'a-than]  (Job  41  and  Ps.  74. 

14),  the  crocodile;  (Ps.  104.  20)  a huge  marine 
creature : (Isa^  27. 1)  a huge  serpent. 

LEVITES  [le'vltes],  the  persons  charged  with 
the  care  of  the  Tabernacle  and  the  Temiile.  Thev 
embraced  all  the  men  of  the  tribe  of  Levi,  exclu- 
sive of  the  sons  of  Aaron,  though  the  latter  were 
also  Levitcs  and  could  perform  any  Levitical 
^ for  this  service  on 

behalf  of  the  children  of  Israel.  On  the  settle- 


rnent  of  Canaan  they  were  assigned  to  forty- 
eight  cities,  scattered  over  the  whole  country 
and  were  provided  with  fields  for  the  pasture  of 
their  cattle.  In  David’s  reign  they  were  divided 
into  four  classes : (1)  Assistants  of  the  priests 
in  the  work  of  the  sanctuary;  (2)  Judges  and 
Scribes ; (3)  Gate-keepers ; (4)  Musicians.  Each 
of  these  cla.sses,  with  the  possible  exception  of 
the  second,  was  subdivided  into  twenty-four 
courses,  or  families,  to  serve  in  rotation 
LEVITICUS  [le-vlt'i-cus],  the  third  book  of  the 
Pentateuch  {(pc.),  is  almost  entirely  legislative. 
The  greater  part  relates  to  offerings  and  matters 
of  a ritual  or  ceremonial  character,  the  “Law  of 
Holiness  ” (ch.  19-20),  however,  going  beyond 
these,  and  in  this  respect  resembling  Deuter- 
onomy. The  legislation  of  Leviticus  follows  up 
that  of  Exodus  — the  people,  consecrated  to 
Jehovah  by  a covenant,  are  hedged  about  with 
prescriptions  to  keep  them  unspotted  and  pure 
as  a “ kingdom  of  priests,” 

LIBERTINES  [lib  er-tines],  (Lat.  “freedmen”), 
were  probably  descendants  of  Jews  who  had 
been  taken  to  Rome  by  Pompey  as  prisoners  of 
war,  and  had  afterwards  received  their  freedom 
there.  They  formed  one  of  the  many  synagogues 
in  Jerusalem,  of  which,  according  to  an  exagger- 
ated Rabbinical  account,  there  were  no  fewer 
than  four  hundred  and  eighty, 

LICE  [1196].  Lice  were  sent  upon  the  Egyptians 
as  the  third  plague  (Ex.  8. 16-18).  There  is  no 
doubt  tli3/t  tli6  trunslstion  of  tli6  Hobrow  word 
kimiim  is  perfectly  correct.  The  lice  were  said 
to  have  been  raised  from  the  dust ; and,  indeed 
these  parasites  develop,  thrive,  and  multiply  in 
dry  places  only.  Not  only  man,  but  also  beasts 
and  birds  are  infested  by  their  own  special 
parasite. 

LIGN  ALOE  [lign' al'oes],  i.e.  wood  aloe  (Num. 
‘-4.  6),  probably  the  Indian  “eagle-tree.”  [See 
Aloes.]  _ 

LIGURE  [lig'ure]  (Heb.  leshem,  Gr.  Jigurion). 
^x.  28. 19.)  This  is  the  gem  generally  called  in 
Greek  lynci(rio)i,  from  a singular  notion  as  to 
Its  origin,  which  is  identified  with  the  true 
jacinth  {(/.V.). 

LILY  [lil'y]  (Mat.  6.  28,  etc.)  may  have  meant 
^ r scarlet  anemone. 

LION  [b  on],  mentioned  in  the  Old  Testament 
about  130  times,  was  well  known  throughout 
Western  Asia  as  late  as  500  b.c.  The  lion  — 
.Judah’s  emblem  — was  in  all  lands  the  symbol  of 
royal  power  and  strength.  It  was  taken  by  pit- 
falls  in  Its  tracks,  or  by  nets. 

LIZARD  [llz'ard]  (Lev.  11.  29,  30),  six  kinds, 
named  {E.  V.)  the  great  lizard,  the  gecko  (or  wall- 
lizard),  the  land-crocodile,  the  common  lizard 
the  sand-lizard,  and  the  chameleon.  ’ 

The  following  are  the  principal  families  or 
types  of  lizards  found  in  the  Holy  Land  at  the 
present  time : — 

1.  The  monitors  or(Arab.)?(;amns,the  largest  of 
the  whole  tribe,  attaining  to  a length  of  from  four 
to  six  feet.  Monitor  Niloticns  was  held  in  high 
esteem  by  the  ancient  Egyptians  as  the  destroyer 
of  the  eggs  and  young  brood  of  the  crocodile. 

2.  The  family  of  ordinary  lizards  is  well  repre- 
sented in  Palestine,  and  is  met  with  everywhere 
in  cultivated,  wooded,  or  barren  districts.  They 
are  designated  in  Leviticus  by  the  word  letaah, 
which  in  both  versions  is  translated  “ lizard.” 

3.  The  scinA:,?  are  inhabitants  chiefly  of  desert 
districts,  burrowing  in  the  sand  or  ground  with 
great  swiftness,  and  are  as  abundant  as  the  com- 
mon lizards. 

4.  The  geckoes  or  wall-lizards  are  represented 
in  the  Holy  Land  by  five  or  six  species.  Owing 
to  a peculiar  adhesive  apparatus  of  the  toes, 
these  small  lizards  can  run  up  the  perpendicular 
sides  of  a house  or  wall. 

5.  Of  another  family  of  lizards  {Agamidoi)  Uro- 
vi.asfgx  spinipes  is  one  of  the  largest  species, 
attaining  to  a length  of  two  feet.  It  is  distin-

6.  The  chameleon  (Chamceleon  vul(/a>'if)  is 
common  in  many  of  the  countries  round  the 
Mediterranean,  and  also  in  the  valley  of  the 
Jordan.  The  word  in  Lev.  11.  30  (B.  V.),  which  is 
believed  to  be  intended  for  the  chameleon,  is 
tinshemeth,  the  root  of  which  means  “ breath- 
ing.” It  is  thought  to  have  been  applied  to  the 
chameleon  because  this  creature  has  an  ex- 
traordinary power  of  distending  itself  by  filling 

its  capacious  lungs  with  air. 

LOCUSTS  [lo’eusts]  are  often  referred  to,  and 
under  nine  different  names : 1.  , generally 

and  rightly  translated  “ locust.”  The  record  of 
the  eighth  plague  in  Egypt  (Ex.  10)  gives  a true 
account  of  a typical  severe  invasion  of  ocusts ; 
an  east  wind  brought  them  from  the  other  side 
of  the  isthmus  of  Suez,  and  a west  wind  hurlea 
them  back  into  the  Red  Sea,  where  they  perished. 
In  Lev  11.  22  thev  are  placed  among  the  clean 
animals.  2.  SaPom,  occurring  once  only,  in 
Lev.  11.  22,  and  translated  “ bald  locust. 
word  seems  to  have  the  same  root  as  sela,  which 
means  rock ; hence  we  may  think  of  certain 
species  of  grasshoppers,  which  delight  in  bask- 
ing on  sun-exposed  rocks,  and  translate  the 
word  ” rock  locust.”  3.  Char(/ol  [see  Beetle]. 

4 Chamh,  generally  used  for  and  translated 
“‘grasshoppers,”  many  of  which  are  much  smaller 
than  locusts,  Nuih.  13.  33;  Isa.  40.  22  5. 

occurring  in  Joel  1. 4 : 2.  25 ; Amos  4. 9,  translated 
“ palmerworm,”  is  interpreted  either  as  the 
locust  in  its  larval  stage,  or  as  the  larva  some 
other  insect  (caterpillars).  6.  Fetefc,  very  difficult 
of  interpretation,  the  more  so  as  there  is  no  evi- 
dence that  the  different  authors  meant  the  same 
creature.  It  is  translated  “cankerworm  in 
Joel  1 4;  2.  25;  Nah.  3. 15, 16,  and  “ caterpillar 
in  Rs.  105.  34 ; Jer.  51. 14,  27.  Etymologically,  the 
word  means  a creature  that  licks  up  the  grass ; 
it  is  evidently  intended  to  express  some  insect- 
pest  7.  Tzelatzal.  The  word  tzcYotza?  means  a 
Lnkling,  musical  instrument,  and  is  hence  ap- 
plied to  a creature  able  to  produce  musical 
sounds.  Thus  the  author  may  have  used  it  as 
the  name  of  one  of  the  grasshoppers,  the  chirp- 


ing notes  of  which  are  frequently  loud  enough 
tn  hp.  heard  at  some  distance,  or  for  the  well- 


known  cicada,  which  is  found  in  abundance  all 
round  the  Mediterranean.  8.  Gob,  appears  sev- 
eral times  (Isa.  33.  4;  Amos  7. 1 ; Nah.  3. 17),  and  is 
translated  “ grasshoppers  ” ; it  cannot  be  referred 
to  any  particular  kind.  9.  Chasil,  generally 
mentioned  together  with  the  locust  (1  Kings  8. 

37  • Rs.  78.  46 ; Isa.  33.  4 ; Joel  1.  4,  2.  25),  and  there- 
fore believed  to  signify  the  locust  in  its  larval 
stage.  But  in  our  versions  it  is  translated 
“caterpillar.”  ^ ^ ^ 

LORD’S  PRAYER  [lord’s  prayer]  (Mat.  6. 
9-13;  Luke  11.  2-4),  the  model  prayer  which 
our  Lord  taught  His  disciples.  Accordmg  to 
the  text  of  Luke  it  consists  of  five  petitions, 
according  to  that  of  Matthew  of  six  (or 
seven).  The  Reformed  churches  count  six: 
three  with  “Thv.”  and  three  with  “our  ; 
the  Roman  Catholics  and  Lutherans  seven,  re- 
garding “Lead  us  not  into  temptation  and 
“Deliver  us  from  evil”  as  separate  petitions. 
The  concluding  doxology  (only  occurring  in  Mat- 
thew, and  omitted  in  B.  V.)  is  wanting  in  the 
best  MSS.,  and  is  a later  addition,  based  on 
1 Chron.  29. 11,  and  2 Tim.  4. 18.  It  accords  fitly 
with  the  first  three  petitions.  The  Lord’s  Rrayer 
has  been  compared  to  a semi -circle  openmg  up- 
wards, “ the  counterpart  of  God’s  bow  of  peace 
in  the  heavens ; ” beginning  in  Heaven  above  with 
the  address  “ Our  Father,”  in  each  of  the  hrst 
three  petitions  coming  nearer  to  the  earth;  Goti  s 
Name  the  revelation  proclaimed  from  Heaven, 
God’s  Kingdom  the  holy  city  coining  down  out 
of  Heaven  from  God,  God’s  Will  extendmg  to 
the  earth  as  it  rules  in  Heaven; 
petition,  for  daily  bread,  in  contact  with  the 
earth;  then  forthwith  ascending  in  petitions  for 
forgiveness  from  sin,  help  in  temptation,  deln  - 
erance  from  evil ; and  with  the  doxology  rising 
again  to  Heaven,  and  to  God’s  praises  there.  It 
is  to  be  noted  that  the  word  translated  ‘;daily 
in  “our  daily  bread”  answers  to  the  Hebrew 
mahar,  “to-morrow”;  hence  the  rendering  of 
the  B.  r.  margin,  “ our  bread  for  the  coming 
day,”  i.e.  sufficient  bread  to  carry  us  from  one 
day  to  the  next,  well  agrees.with  oiir  com- 

mand in  Mat.  6.  34,  in  that  it  asks  GocI  to  free  us 
from  all  anxiety  as  to  the  next  day  s P’^oad.  In 
the  same  petition,  where  Matthnw 
day,”  Luke  has  “ day  by  day.  The 
last  petition  (Mat.  6.  13)  has  “ the  evil  one  in 
the  text,  and  “evil”  in  the  margin. 

LORD’S  SUPPER  [lord’s  sup  per]  (1  Cor.  11.  20),

and  “ of  the  body  of  Christ  (1  Cor.  10. 16),  and

giving  and  receiving  of  bread  and  wine,  Christ’s 
death  is  showed  forth  “till  He  come.’’  As 
the  Passover  commemorated  Israel’s  deliverance 
from  the  “ house  of  bondage,”  and  election  to  be 
a covenant-people,  the  Lord’s  Supper  marks  the 
establishment  of  a new  covenant  in  His  blood. 
His  death  being  the  foundation  of  a new  relation 
of  His  church  to  God,  and  of  the  communion  of 
His  people  with  one  another.

LUCIFER  [lu  9i-fer]  (Lat.  “ light-bringer  ”), 
the  day-star  (Isa.  14. 12,  li.  V.),  a name  applied  by 
the  prophet  to  the  king  of  Babylon  in  his  pride 
and  splendor  and  glory  before  his  fall,  when  he 
said,  “ I will  ascend  into  heaven,  I will  exalt  mv

LUKE  [luke]  (ST.),  the  Gospel  oif.  St.  Luke 
was  a Gentile  (cf.  Col.  4.  11  and  14),  a phy- 
sician, an  educated  man,  familiar  with  the 
eastern  Mediterranean  and  adjacent  countries. 
In  the  Acts  of  the  Apostles  {q.v.)  he  appears 
as  the  companion  of  St.  Paul  from  Troas  to 
Philippi  (16.  10-17),  where  he  probably  re- 
mained from- 52  to  58  a.d.,  rejoining  the  apostle 
at  that  place,  and  continuing  with  him  to  the 
time  when  the  narrative  closes  (58  to  63  a.d.). 
In  2 lim.  4.  11  he  is  referred  to  as  being  with  St. 
Paul.  Hence  the  evangelist  must  have  been  in 
Palestine  during  the  two  years  of  St.  Paul’s 
imprisonment  at  Caesarea  (.58-60  a.d.). 

The  Gospel  was  primarily  intended  for  the 
instruction  of  “ Theoi)hilus  ” (ch.  1.  3),  who  seems 
to  have  been  a Gentile  living  in  Italy.  It  presents 
Christ  as  the  Saviour  of  men  of  every  nation, 
giving  prominence  to  His  real  humanity  and  to 
“ the  healing  nature  of  His  redeeming  work.” 

St.  Luke  alone  narrates  the  events  in  ch.  1 and 
2 ; the  first  rejection  at  Nazareth ; the  miraculous 
draught  of  fishes;  the  raising  of  the  widow’s 
son ; the  anointing  by  the  sinful  woman ; tlie 
mission  of  the  seventy;  the  iiarable  of  the  good 
Samaritan;  the  visit  to  Martha  and  Marv.  He 
alone  gives  the  importunate  neighbor;  the  bar- 
ren fig-tree ; the  Lord  at  the  house  of  a Pharisee  • 
the  prodigal  son;  the  unjust  steward;  Dives  ami 
Laziirus ; the  ten  lepers ; the  importunate  widow ; 
the  Pharisee  and  the  jiublican  ; the  visit  to  Zac- 
chaeiis ; the  parable  of  the  pounds ; the  mockerv 
by  Herod;  the  penitent  robber;  the  walk  to 
Lmmaus;  and  the  ascension. 

The  Gospel  must  have  been  written  before  the 
destruction  of  Jerusalem,  probably  at  Home, 
aljout  63  A.D.  The  date  assigned  above  agrees 
with  the  view  that  the  Synoptic  Gospels  are 
independent  narratives,  written  within  the  limit 
of  a few  years.

MACCABEES  [mac'ea-bees],  the  family  of 
priestly  descent  that  freed  the  Jewish  people 
from  the  Syrian  yoke.  The  name  Makkaba 
( hammer  ; cf.  Charles  ]\IarteI)  belongs  prop- 
erl^y  to  Judas,  the  third  of  the  five  sons  of  Mat- 
tathias,  who  from  his  father’s  death  in  166  to  his 
own  death  at  the  battle  of  Klasa  or  Adasa  in  161 
B.c.  led  the  defenders  of  their  countrv  and  their 
laith  in  one  of  the  most  heroic  struggles  in  his- 
tory  His  work  was  completed  by  his  brothers, 
who  founded  the  Asmona-an  Dynasty.  The  Mac- 
ifeb  ^11^^^  Included  among  the  heroes  of  faith  in 

The  Fir.st  Book  of  the  Maccabees  was  writ- 
in  Greek;  but  the 
Hebrew  of  1 Maccabees  is  lost.  The  first  book  is 
a straightforward  narrative  of  the  period  175-1.35 
Pale.stinian  Jew,  from  the 
point  of  view  of  orthodox  Judaism.  It  was 
probably  composed  soon  after  the  death  of  John 


Mandrake 

Hyrcanus  (105  b.c.).  The  second  book  is  an 
abridgment  of  a large  work  bv  one  Jason  of 
Cyrene,  and  treats  in  a rhetorical  style  the 
period  lp-160  b.c.  It  is  less  trustworthv  than 
of  Phifi  (Sad  )^  composed  before  the  time 

One  of  the  reasons  for  the  rejection  of  these 
books  by  Protestants  lies  in  the  reference  to  the 
custom  of  prayers  for  the  dead  in  the  passage 
(2  Macc.  12.  45)  where  Judas  is  said  to  have 
“made  a reconciliation  for  the  dead,  that  they 
might  be  delivered  from  sin.”  [See  Apoc- 
RVPHA.] 

MACEDONIA  [ma^'e-do'ni-a],  in  New  Testa- 
ment times,  the  northern  Roman  province  of 
(Treece,  the  southern  being  Achaia.  St.  Paul 
was  summoned  thither  bv  the  vision  of  the 
‘man  of  Macedonia”  (Acts  16.  9-17);  and  he 
visited  it  a second  time  (Acts  20.  1-6).  Philippi 
was  one  of  its  chief  cities,  and  there  Lydia  was 
converted  (Acts  16.  1.3-15). 

MAGI  [ma'gi],  in  the  New  Testament,  the  wise 
men  from  the  East  who  came  to  worship  the 
infant  Christ  (Mat.  2.  1,  7, 16).  The  name  Maqos 
IS  also  given  to  Elymas  in  Acts  13.  6,  8,  and  is 
there  translated  “sorcerer”;  and  Simon  who 
used  sorcery  ” (Acts  8.  9)  was  such  another. 
MALACHI  [mal'a-chl]  (“  my  messenger  ”),  the 
latest  of  the  Old  Testament  prophets,  wrote 
about  450  B.c.,  and  was  thus  contemiiorary  with 
Nehemiah.  His  message  was  a condemnation  of 
the  degeneracy  of  the  priesthood,  and  of  the 
shortcomings  of  the  people  in  life  and  worship ; 
also  a prophecy  of  the  nearness  of  the  dav  of 
Jehovah.  [See  Minor  Prophets.] 

MALLOW  [mal'ldw]  (Job  30.  4),  eaten  bv  the 
very  poor,  probably  a saline  plant  (A.  P.' salt- 
wort), a species  of  spinach  or  orache. 

MANASSES  [ma-nas'ses].  Prayer  of,  an  appen- 
dix to  2 Chronicles.  It  owes  its  origin  to  the 
statement  by  the  Chronicler,  2 Chron.  33. 18,  19, 
shows  that  there  are  two  lost  documents 
of  Manasseh’s  repentance.  The  extant  Prayer  of 
Manasses  IS  a noble  monument  of  devotion.  The 
early  Christian  church  placed  it  as  one  of  the 
nine  canticles  at  the  head  of  the  Psalter.  [See

Jerusalem  the  early  Christians  seem  to  have 
found  a home  (Acts  12. 12).  He  was  a cousin  of 

Barnabas  (Col.  4.  10,  E.  V.)  ^S{!^"^rst 

the  two  Christian  preachers  in  St.  Paul  & hrst

of  “ sharp  contention  ” between  Paul  and  Barna- 
bas (Acts  15.  .36-40),  in  consequence  of  his  leaving 
them  at  Perga.  Afterwards,  however,  he  was 
with  the  apoftle  Paul  during  his  first  imprison- 
ment at  Rome  (Col.  4.  10;  Philem.  24).  The 
apostle  Peter  refers  to  St.  Mark  as  with  him

MASSEBA  [masseba].  . [See  under  Asher  ah.] 
MASSORETES  [mas'so-retes].  Down  to  the 
close  of  the  fifth  century  a.d.,  the  tradition  ot  , 
the  accepted  pronunciation  of  the  bare  conso- 
nantal text  of  the  Old  Testament  was  kept  alive  by 
the  oral  teaching  of  the  Rabbis,  and  by  the  recita- 
tion of  the  Scriptures  in  the  synagogues.  The  re- 
duction to  writing  of  this  exegetical  trfHlition  was 
the  work  of  the  scholars  called  the  Massoretes 
(from  J/rtS.som,  “ tradition”),  whose  chief  cmitie 
was  the  Rabbinical,  school  of  Tiberias.  They 
took  great  pains  that  the  texts  should  be  kept 
entire,  for  this  purpose  counting  up  the  number 
of  words,  and  even  the  number  of  liters  ni  the 
different  books,  noting  expressions  that  occuri  ed 
but  once  or  rarely,  drawing  attention  ^ 
modes  of  writing  and  the  like.  One 
service  rendered  by  the  Massoretes  was  then 
devising  a system  of  dots  mid  strokes  (vove 
points),  which  are  placed  above,  belov,  or  m the 
heart  of  the  consonants,  and  denote  precisely 
how  the  words  were  read  by  the  scholais  of  the 
time  These  are  regarded  as  forming  no  part  of 
the  sacred  text,  and  the  Eentateuch  rolls  which 
are  used  in  the  Synagogue  are  written  m the 
bare  consonants  as  originally  ^’^ceived  Closely 
connected  with  the  vowel  system  is  the  system  of 
accents,  which  indicate  the  mannei  in  vliicli 
the  words  and  clauses  were  separated  or  con- 
joined, and  also  form  a kind  of  m'^sical  notation, 
according  to  which  the  Scriptures  are  to  be 
Sdioully  recited.  The  text,  with  this  array 
of  symbols,  is  called  the  Massoretic  text , and  it 
gives  us  what  was  the  traditional  reading  at  the 
time  the  work  was  accomplished, 

The  Massoretic  text,  with  its  complete  equip- 
ment, cannot  be  placed  earlier  than  the  se^enth 
century  of  the  Christian  era.  But  it  es

handing  down  of  the  text,  the  Massoretes  did 
not  allow  themselves  to  deviate  in  the  smallest 
details  from  what  they  had  received.  There 
remain  in  the  text,  as  they  have  handed  it  down, 
evident  indications  of  what  had  been  slips  of 
the  pen  or  mistakes  of  the  eye  of  the  tran- 
scribers, but  the  Massoretes  allowed  even  these 
to  stand,  contenting  themselves  with  drawing

MATTHEW’S  BIBLE  [mat'thew’s  bi'ble],  1537. 
During  the  later  part  of  his  life  in  Antwerp, 
Tindale  was  chaplain  to  the  English  mer- 
chants of  the  Steelyard.  He  was  succeeded 
in  this  office  by  John  Rogers,  a man  ever 
famous  as  the  first  Protestant  martyr  under 
Mary  Tudor.  When  Tindale  was  betrayed  in 
ir>3i>  and  imprisoned,  Rogers  appears  to  have 
succeeded  to  his  papers.  In  1537,  the  year  after 
Tindale’s  martyrdom,  Rogers,  who  for  reasons 
unknown  to  us  seems  to  have  assumed  the  name 
of  Thomas  Matthew,  printed  at  Antwerp  and 
sent  over  to  England  a large  edition  of  a splendid 
folio  English  Bible.  This  contains  all  Tindale’s 
translations  in  their  latest  forms ; and  for  those 
books  which  Tindale  had  not  been  able  to  finish, 
the  text  was  taken  from  Coverdale’s  version. 


This  1537  Bible  is,  so  far  as  text  is  concerned,  the 
true  editio  princeps  of  the  English  Bible 
It  bears  upon  the  title-page  the  words,  “Set 
forth  with  the  King’s  most  gracious  license.” 
Henry  the  Eighth  had  been  induced,  probably 
by  Cromwell,  to  sanction  the  issue  of  this  Bible, 
although  at  the  very  time  he  did  so  the  transla- 
tions of  Tindale  were  all  under  proscription.

MATTHEW,  ST.  (Heb.  “faithful  man”;  cf. 
Amittai,  Jonah  1.  1),  also  called  “ Levi  the  son  of 
Alphaeus”  (Mark  ‘3.  14;  cf.  Luke  5.  27-29),  was, 
when  called,  a publican,  or  tax-gatherer,  prob- 
ably a collector  of  tolls  and  custom  duties  at  the 
Sea  of  Galilee.  His  call  is  narrated  in  the  three 
Gospels,  but  while  he  refers  to  the  feast  which 
St.  Mark  and  St.  Luke  distinctly  place  at  his 
house,  he  makes  no  allusion  to  that  fact. 

Papias  and  Irenseus,  writing  in  the  second- 
century,  state  that  St.  Matthew  wrote  in  Hebrew 
(Aramaic).  The  earliest  citations,  some  of  them 
in  works  of  the  earlier  half  of  the  second  cen- 
tury, give  the  exact  words  of  the  Greek  Gospel 
we  now  have,  and  no  certain  traces  of  a previous 
Aramaic  Gospel  have  been  discovered.  If  there 
was  an  Aramaic  original,  it  was  superseded  very 
soon  by  a Greek  version.  The  very  early  date 
often  assigned  (45  a.d.)  maybe  correct  if  applied 
to  an  Aramaic  original;  but  the  Greek  Gospel 
which  we  have  may  have  been  written  about 

60  A.D.

night  after  work  was  done  (John  13.  2 ; Luke  17. 
8).  In  early  times  the  family  sat  on  carpets  or 
mattresses  round  a cloth  laid  upon  the  floor.  In 
the  period  of  the  kingdom,  tables  were  intro- 
duced, and  also  the  Greek  fashion  of  reclining 
on  couches.  This  was  at  first  condemned  as 
luxury  (Amos  6.  4),  but  in  the  time  of  our  Lord 
it  had  become  the  common  custom.  The  tables 
were  arranged  as  three  sides  of  a square,  the 
places  at  the  cross  table  being  the  “uppermost 
rooms,”  literally  the  “ first  couches  ” (Mark  12. 
39 ; Luke  14.  8).  On  these  couches  the  guests  re- 
clined, the  head  supported  on  the  left  hand,  or 
partly  on  the  guest  beyond  (John  13.  23;  21.  20). 
Each  one  helped  himself  with  his  fingers  from  a 
common  dish  (Mat.  26.  23).  Hence  the  necessity 
for  washing  of  hands  before  eating  {cf.  Luke

MIDIANITES  [mid'i-an-Ttes],  an  Arab  race,  the 
descendants  of  Keturah  (Gen.  25. 1-4),  held  the 
sea-coast  east  of  the  Gulf  of  Akabah,  till  over- 
come by  Gideon.  They  were  partly  nomads, 
partlv  traders  between  Egypt  and  Palestine.

anite  priest  and  sheikh.  1

MINOR  [ml ’nor]  PROPHETS,  so  called  from  i 
their  collected  prophecies  being  smaller  in  bulk 
than  Isaiah,  Jeremiah,  and  Ezekiel.  Then- 
chronological  order,  as  nearly  as  can  be  made 
out,  is  as  follows:  — 

1.  Jonah  (in  its  subject).  7.  Nahum. 

2.  Joel(?).  8.  Habakkuk. 

3!  Amos.  9-  Obadiah. 

4.  Hosea.  10.  Haggai. 

5.  Micah.  H.  Zechariah.  , 

6.  Zephaniah.  12.  Malachi. 

Isaiah  was  a somewhat  earlier  contemporary 
of  Micah;  Jeremiah  was  synchronous  with  Na- 
hum and  Zephaniah,  Habakkuk  and  Obadiah ; 
and  Ezekiel,  the  prophet  of  the  Exile,  directly 
precedes  Haggai.  [See  Prophets.] 

MINT  [mint]  was  used  by  the  Jews  as  a condi- 
ment to  their  food,  and  was  no  doubt  the  mint 
of  our  kitchen  gardens,  Mentha  satira.  The 
Pharisees  carefully  tithed  this  and  other  trifling 
condiments,  while  they  neglected  judgment  and 
the  love  of  God  (Luke  11.  42.)  , 

MIRACLE  [mir'a-ele].  Our  word  miracle  (Lat. 
“ wonderful  thing  ”)  represents  one  of  three 
words  used  in  the  New  Testament,  viz.  — 

1.  Dunaims,  “ miracle  ” or  “ mighty  work.” 

2.  Semeion,  A.V.  51  times  “sign,”  22  times 


“miracle”;  R.V.  “sign,”  except  Luke  23.  8, 
Acts  4.  16,  22. 

3.  Teras,  always  “ wonder.  , 

Besides  these,  we  have  “wonderful  things 
“ strange  things,”  “ glorious  things”  (each  once 
only),  and  “ works”  as  descriptions  of  New  Tes- 
tament miracles. 

Miracles  have  a double  function  — (1)  as  evi- 
dence to  believers  of  “the  action  of  a personal 
spiritual  power”;  (2)  as  “vehicles  of  revela- 
tion,” parables  in  action,  an  essential  part  of  the 
substance  of  the  Gospel.  . 

Miracles  are  natural  in  connection  with  the 
personality  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  are  rendered 
credible  partlv  by  the  miracle  of  His  character, 
and  partly  by  the  miracle  of  His  resurrection.

MOABITE  STONE  [ino'ab-Ite  stone].  In  1868 


Moabite  Stone  in  the  Loua'RE.  (From  a F/iotograph.) 

This  stone  gives  an  account  of  the  war  of  Mesha,  king  of 
Moab,  about  860  b.c.,  against  Omri,  Ahab,  and  other  kings  of 

^^After  the  death  of  Ahab,  Mesha,  who  had  agreed  to  pay 
to  the  king  of  Israel  “an  hundred  thousand  lambs,  and  an 
hundred  thousand  rams,  with  the  wool  ” (2  Kings  d.  4),  re- 
belled; and  Jehoram,  Jehoshaphat,  and  the  king  of  Edom 
marched  against  him.  The  Moabites  were  surprised  by  the 
Jewish  league,  and  compelled  to  retire  from  city  to  city, 
until  they  came  to  Kirharaseth  (2  Kings  3.  2.^).  Here  King 
Mesha  attacked  the  king  of  Edom,  but  was  repulsed.  After 
this  he  sacrificed  his  eldest  son  to  his  god  Chempsh,  upon  the 
city  wall,  in  sight  of  the  invaders.  This  deed  inspired  his 
army  with  fresh  courage,  and  they  drove  back  the  victorious 
armies  of  the  allied  kings  with  great  slaughter,  there  being 
“great  indignation  against  Israel.  He  set  up  this  stone  to 
Chemosh.  and  he  spread  out  and  offered  up  the  vessels  of 
the  Lord  ” before  Chemosh.

BIBLE  DICTIONARY.

an  inscription  was  found  among  the  ruins  of 
Dibon,  giving  an  account  by  the  Moabite  king 
Mesha  (2  Kings  3.  4)  of  his  successful  revolt 
from  Samaria,  and  of  his  buildings  in  Moab. 
“ Omri,  king  of  Israel,  oppressed  Moab  many 
days,  for  Chemosb-  (see  1 Kings  11.  7)  was  angry 
with  his  land.”  Then  Mesha  revolted  in  the 
time  of  Ahab.  He  ov^erthrew  the  Israelites,  took 
Medeba  (Num.  21. 30),  Ataroth  (Num.32. 3),  Jahaz 
(Isa.  15.  4),  and  Nebo  (Isa.  15.  2),  where  there  had 
been  an  altar  to  ” Yahveh”  (Jehovah),  and  he 
rebuilt  Korkhah,  Aroer,  Bezer,  and  other  for- 
tresses. It  is  clear  from  2 Kings  3.  5,  that  the 
chief  successes  of  Mesha  were  gained  after 
Allah’s  death.  The  language  of  the  inscription 
hardly  differs  from  Hebrew. 

MOABITES  [mo'ab-ltesj,  a people  allied  to  the 
Israelites,  settled  from  before  the  time  of  Moses 
south-east  of  the  Dead  Sea.  Like  the  Ammon- 
ites, from  whom  they  were  separated  by  the 
river  Arnon,  they  were  descendants  of  Lot,  and 
mortal  enemies  of  Israel.  They  were  subdued 
by  Saul  and  David,  and  after  Ahab’s  death  cast 
off  the  yoke  of  the  northern  kingdom.  To  this 
period  belongs  “the  Moabite  Stone”  {q.v.). 
J eroboam  II.  again  made  them  tributary. 

MOLE  [mole].  The  “ moles  ” of  Isa.  2.  20  (A.  V. 
and  R.V.)  perhaps  included  the  rat,  ground- 
squirrel,  and  similar  animals.  Our  mole  is 
unknown  in  Syria,  but  the  mole-rat  is  very 
abundant. 

MOLOCH  [mo'loeh]  (“king”),  also  Milcom, 
Malcham,  a deity  of  the  Ammonites,  Phoenici- 
ans, and  Canaanites,  to  whom  human  victims 
(first  slain,  then  burnt)  were  sacrificed. 

MONEY  [mon'y]  in  the  sense  of  stamped  eoin, 
did  not  exist  in  Israel  before  the  Exile.  Of 
coined  money,  an  invention  of  the  Greeks,  there 
is  no  trace  in  Western  Asia  till  the  time  of 
Darius  Hystaspis  (500  b.c.),  except  in  the  Greek 
colonies  and  in  Lydia.  Gold  and  silver  were 
“weighed  to”  the  seller  by  the  buyer  (Gen. 
23.  16;  Ex.  22.  17;  2 Sam.  18.  12;  1 Kings  20. 
39;  Isa.  33.  18;  Jer.  32.  9 ff.).  The  name  of  the 
common  unit,  the  shekel,  means  “weight” 
(o/.  English  Pound  sterling;  also  Old  French 
Hvre,  and  Italian  lira — from  Latin  libra,  “a 
pound”).  The  pieces  of  metal  were*  in  the 
form  of  bars  (c/.  the  “w^edge”  of  50  shekels’ 
weight  in  Josh.  7.  21),  large  pieces  in  that  of 
rings,  as  the  Hebre^v  name  for  talent  (“  circle  ”) 
shows.  The  weighing  of  ring  money  is  repre- 


sented on  the  Egyptian  monuments.  The  bal- 
ance and  the  weights  (of  stone)  were  carried 
along  with  the  preeious  metal  in  a bag  attached 


to  the  girdle  (Deut.  25.  13  ff.;  Isa.  46.  6;  Prov 
16.  11;  f-L  Lev.  19.  35  ff.). 

Recent  investigations  have  proved  that  the 
ratio  of  the  value  of  gold  to  that  of  silver 
fixed  in  Babylon  and  Assyria,  viz.  1:134,  pre- 
vailed over  all  Western  Asia  (in  Greece  it  was 
1 : 12).  The  value  of  the  coined  silver  shekel 
was  about  2s.  7d.  or  64  cents,  and'of  the  gold 
coined  shekel  about  £2,  5s.,  or  $10.93.  The 
whole  monetary  system  of  the  Hebrews,  as  of 
their  neighbors,  was  based  on  the  Babylonian 
system  of  'weight s.  The  Babylonian  weight- 
talent  was  = 60  'niinoi  of  60  shekels  each;  but 
the  Babylonian  money-talent  was  = 60  mitue 
of  50  shekels  each,  or  3,000  shekels.  The  unit, 
the  shekel,  was  the  same  in  both;  and  thus 
the  weight-talent  was  157.99  lbs.  troy,  while  the 
money-talent  of  gold  was  131.66  lbs.  troy.  The 
Hebrew  silver-talent,  with  a shekel  of  9 dwts, 
8.7975  grs.  troy,  was  117  lbs.  19  dwts.  16.5  grs 
troy. 

After  the  Exile,  Persian  money  was  current 
[see  Dario,  below].  After  the  fall  of  the  Persian 
monarchy,  Utleiiis  and  drachmas  came  in. 
Simon  Maccabaeus  struck  (141  b.c.)  silver  and 
bronze  coins,  of  which  a number  are  still  extant 
[see  Shekel,  below],  but  the  Greek  money  was 
still  current,  and  in  the  time  of  our  Lord  they 
counted  Jiy  drachmas  and  staters.  The  smallest 
copper  coin  in  use  (Mark  12.  42;  Luke  12.  59;  21, 
2)  IS  translated  mite. 

The  purchasing  value  of  monev  generally  was 
in  our  Lord’s  time  probably  not  niore  than  thrice 
what  it  is  to-day.

of  the  aureus  to  the  sovereign  is  126.25x40;

change for  foreign,  as  only  Jewish  money  could 
be  used  to  pay  the  Temple  tax.  The  practices 
of  the  monev-changers  must  have  been  so  bad 
{cf.  Jer.  7.  li)  as  to  warrant  their  expulsion  by

MORIAH  [mo-ri'ah].  [See  Jerusalem.] 

MOSES  [mo'§e§],  the  great  deliverer  and  law- 
giver of  Israel,  was  the  son  of  Amram  and  Joche- 
bed,  of  the  tribe  of  Levi,  and  younger  brother  of 
Miriam  and  Aaron.  Born  during  the  oppression 
of  the  Israelites  in  Egvpt,  he  was  placed  while  an 
infant  child  in  an  ark  of  bulrushes  among  the 
reeds  of  the  river  Nile,  where  he  was  found  by  the 
daughter  of  Pharaoh.  Brought  up  in  Pharaoh’s 
house,  he  became  learned  in  “ all  the  wisdom  of 
the  Egyptians.”  In  his  fortieth  year  he  fled  to 
Midian,  “ fearing  the  wrath  of  the  king  ” for  his 
killing  an  Egyptian  whom  he  had  found  ill-treat- 
ing a Hebrew.  In  Midian  he  married  Zipporah, 
daughter  of  a priest  and  sheikh,  and  liv-ed  forty 
A^ears.  Then  God  revealed  Himseff  to  Moses  as 
Jehovah  in  a bush  that  burned  and  Avas  not 
consumed,  and  commissioned  him  to  return /to 
Egypt  and  be  the  deliverer  of  Israel.  After  ten 
miracles  of  judgment  or  “ plagues  ” wrought  by 
Moses,  the  greatest  and  last  of  these  being  the 
death  of  the  firstborn.  Pharaoh  consented,  and 
the  children  of  Israel  set  forth  for  Canaan.  [See 
Exodus  and  the  Crossing  of  the  Red  Sea.] 
Thenceforward  for  forty  years  he  was  their  leader 
through  the  Avilderness;  at  Sinai,  where  he  re- 
ceived the  law  from  Heaven ; at  Kadesh ; and  in 
the  land  of  Moab,  where  he  died,  after  vieAV- 
ing  the  promised  land  from  the  top  of  Pisgah. 
Moses,  “the  mediator  of  the  old  coA^enant,’  is 
one  of  the  greatest  figures  in  history.  He  AA^as 
used  by  God  to  make  the  children  of  Israel  a 
nation,  and  to  establish  the  national  life  of 
Israel  on  the  basis  of  a religious  covenant  {q.v.) 
which  determined  the  whole  future  of  that  peo- 
ple and  of  the  world.  [See  Pentateuch.] 

MOTH  [moth].  The  moth  mentioned  in  the 
Bible  (Isa.  50.  9;  51.  G;  Job  13.  28;  Mat.  6.  19)  is 
the  clothes-moth  {Tinsq),  of  Avhich  several 
species  {T.  i)ellionella,  sarzitella,  tapezella,  and 
others)  are  very  destru  tive  to  fur  and  avooI  and 
the  garments  made  of  them.  It  is  only  the

insect  taking  fluid  foo  1 only,  if  any.  In  Isa.  51.

cutting  the  hands  and  the  body  (Jer.  41.  5).

5. 23 ; 1 Chr.  14. 14 ; cf.  Ps.  84.  6 ; It.  V.  balsam  trees), 
perhaps  poplars. 

MUSIC  [mu 'sic].  In  the  books  of  the  Law, 
nothing  is  said  either  of  music  or  of  its  use  in 
the  public  services.  David  was  the  originator 
of  the  liturgical  service  of  song. 

According  to  1 Chr.  15. 17,  David  instituted  an 
orchestra,  with  three  leaders : Heman,  Asaph, 
Ethan  or  Jeduthun,  all  of  them  Levites.  These 
pioneers  founded  .sc/ioo/.s  of  musical  perform- 
ance. The  instruments  played  were; 

I.  Percussion  Instruments. 

1.  “ Cymbals  ” were  used  (1  Chr.  15.  16 ; Ps.  150. 
5,  etc.)  to  beat  time.  These  were  plates  of  brass 
struck  together.  In  Ps.  150.  5,  two  kinds  are 
mentioned.  In  the  one  case  four  pieces  were 
employed,  two  in  each  hand ; in  the  other,  only 
two  were  used,  i.e.  one  in  each  hand. 

2.  The  “timbrel”  or  “tabret”  (tambourine), 
usually  plaved  by  women  (Gen.  31.  27 ; Ex.  15.  20 ; 
Judg.  11.  34;  1 Sam.  18.  G;  Ps.  G8.  25). 

II.  Stringed  Instruments. 

1.  “Psalteries.”  These  were  perhaps  nearer 
the  modern  harps,  or  possibly  nearer  still  to  the 
Grecian  lyre.  They  were  set  to  the  soprano 
register  (1  Chr.  15.  20,  c/.  Ps.  4G). 


2.  “Harps.”  These  were  set  an  octave  lower 
(1  (7hr.  15.  21;  Ps.  G).  They  therefore  had  longer 
strings  than  the  psalteries,  and  perhaps  cor- 
responded somewhat  to  our  bass-viols.  At  any 
rate  their  music  was  solemn  and  grave.  The 
harps  were  to  “take  the  lead”  (1  Chr.  15.  21). 
The  head  of  the  “ harpers  ” would  therefore  seem 
to  have  had  the  direction  of  the  oi-chestra.  Com  - 
pare  the  title  so  often  occurring  in  the  headings 
of  the  Psalms,  “To  the  chief  Musician”  or  mu- 
sical director. 

III.  Wind  Instruments. 

1.  The  pastoral  pipe,  or  reed-llute,  translated 
“organ”  in  A.  P.  (Gen.  4.  21;  Job.  21.  12;  30.  31; 
Ps.  150.  4).  This  was  used  in  the  second  Temple, 
especially  in  rendering  the  “ Hallel  ” (the  group 
of  Psalms  of  praise,  113  to  118,  which  was  sung 
at  the  Passover  and  other  festivals). 

2.  The  “ pipe  ” (Isa.  30,  2‘);  cf.  5.  12;  1 Kings  1. 
40),  the  most  popular  of  this  class.  It  was  iiot 
used  Avithin  the  Temple  itself,  but  probably  in 
processions  (cf.  Ps.  87.  7). 

3.  The  “Trumjiet,”  also  the  “cornet”  (Ps.  81. 
3 ; !)8.  G ; 1.50.  3),  used  by  priests  and  heralds.  The 
distinction  between  them  is  mainly  that  the 
trumjiet  gave  a deep  hoarse  sound,  while  the  cor- 
net gave  a clear  note,  like  the  bugle  or  clarion. 

Singing.  In  the  second  Temple  the  whole 
congregation  did  not  usually  sing,  but  all  .I'oined 
in  the  Amen  (1  (’hr.  16.  .36).  In  the  “ Hallel”  (see 
above)  they  repeated  tlie  first  line  of  each  verse, 
and  after  the  second  line  they  fell  in  with  the

“Halleluiah”;  cf.  Jer.  33.  11  for  the  practice  of 
the  first  Temple,  where  Ps.  118  is  quoted;  also 
Ezra  3.  10  fE.,  which  likewise  implies  responsive 
sinffing  by  the  congregation.  So  Nehemiah  (12. 
W % 31,  38)  appointed  tAvo  companies  of  respon- 
sive singers  at  the  dedication  of  the  city  wall. 
The  germ  of  this  institution  may  be  found  m 
Miriam’s  company  of  women  answering  the  sing- 
ing of  the  men.  Antiphonal  singing  was  per- 
formed in  such  cases  as  Ps.  24  and  121. 

From  1 Chr.  25.  5,  6 we  learn  that  women  took 
at  least  occasional  part  in  the  Temple  singing 
{(■/.  13.  8).  According  to  the  Talmud,  boys  also 
formed  a part  of  the  choir.  ,

bark  of  an  Arabian  shrub  (Ex.  30.  23 ; Prov.  7.  17 ; 
Esth.  2. 12 ; John  19.  39).  In  Gen.  37.  25  and  43.  11 
“ myrrh”  is  probably  the  gum  of  the  rock-rose. 

MYRTLE  [mgr 'tie].  A small  tree  indigenous 
to  Western  Asia  and  common  on  hillsides  in 
Palestine,  flourishing  especially  by  water- 
courses. It  has  dark  glossy  leaves,  marked  with 
transparent  dots,  due  to  the  presence  of  a vola- 
tile aromatic  oil.  The  floAvers  are  small,  white, 
and  fragrant,  and  AAdien  dried  are  used  as  a 
perfume.

NAHUM  [na'hum]  (“rich  in  comfort”),  one  of 
the  “ minor”  prophets,  born  at  Elkosh  (perhaps 
Capernaum,  which  means  Nahum’s  village),  pro- 
phesied, probably  under  Josiah,  the  doAAUifall  of 
NTneveh,  606  B.c.  His  date  falls  between  that 
event  and  about  660  b.c.,  when  Asur-bani-pal 
captured  Thebes,  in  Egypt  (ch.  3).  [See  Mixor 
Prophets.]  ,,  . 

NAIN  [na'in]  (Luke  7.  11),  a Aullage  south  of 
Tabor,  within  a day’s  journey  from  Nazareth. 

NATHANAEL  [na-than'a-el]  (“  gift  of  God  ), 
of  Cana  of  Galilee  (John  21.  2),  is  commonly 
identifled  with  Bartholomew  {q.v.). 

NAZARETH  [naz'a-reth]  (Mat.  2. 23;  4. 13;  Mark 
1.  9 • Luke  2.  4),  the  village  in  Lower  Galilee 
Avhere  our  Lord  was  brought  up,  is  unnoticed  in 
the  Old  Testament.  It  is  now  a flourishing 
Christian  town  of  (5,000  inhabitants.  Tho  ‘‘brow 
of  the  hill”  is  probably  the  cliff  to  the  north 
(Luke  4. 29).  The  name  Nazareth  perhaps  means 
“ a Avatch  tower,”  but  is  connected  in  the  NeAV 
Testament  with  Netzer,  “a  branch”  (Isa.  4.  2; 
Jer.  23.  5:  Zech.  3.  8;  6.  12;  Mat.  2.  23),  Nazarene 
being  quite  a difEerent  word  from  Nazarite. 

NAZARITES  [naz'a-rltes]  Avere  not  members  of 
a party  or  brotherhood,  but  individuals  “ sepa- 
rated” to  God’s  special  service  by  a personal 
VOW  of  longer  or  shorter  duration  (see  Num.  6), 
Of  this  nature  was  probably  the  vow  of  the  men 
named  in  Acts  21.  23-26,  and  even  of  St.  Paul 
(Acts  18.  18).  The  typical  Nazarite  of  the  New 
Testament  is  John  the  Baptist  (Luke  1.  15;  cf.  1. 
80,  Mat.  11.  18,  and  Amos  2. 11, 12).

NEHEMIAH  [ne'he-mi'ah],  the  restorer  (with

Avas  cupbearer  to  the  Persian  king  Artaxerxes 
Longimanus,  who  gave  him  permission  to  return 
Avith  a colonv  to  Jerusalem  in  445  b.c.  Appointed 
governor  of  Judaea,  he  rebuilt  the  city  walls,  in 
spite  of  the  opposition  of  the  Samaritans  and 
others,  and  organized  the  service  of  God ; return- 
ing to  Persia  m 430.  The  Book  of  Nehemiah  (or 
Second  Book  of  Ezra)  contains  the  history  of 
the  Jews  from  the  Exile  to  the  time  of  Darius 
Nothus,  ch.  1-7;  12.  27-43;  13.  4-31,  which  are 
Avritten  in  the  first  person,  being  the  work  of 
Nehemiah  himself.  . 

NEW  TESTAMENT  [tes'ta-ment],  Unity.  The 
New  Testament  is  a collection  of  tAventy-seven 
distinct  writings,  from  eight  (or  nine)  different 
hands.  Of  these  Avriters,  four  were  apostles  — St. 
Matthew,  St.  John,  St.  Paul,  and  St.  Peter;  two 
companions  of  the  apostles  — St.  Mark  and  St. 
Luke;  two  our  Lord’s  brothers  — St.  James  and 
St.  Jude.  The  books  are  Historical  (the  first  five). 
Didactic  (twenty-one).  Prophetical  (the  last); 
and  all  find  their  centre  in  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord.  The  four  Gospels  narrate  His  life  on 
earth ; the  fifth  historical  book  tells  how  the  new 
life,  that  came  from  Him  through  the  Holy 
Spirit,  passed  from  Jerusalem  to  Rome.  The 
epistles  set  forth  the  significance  of  the  gospel 
facts,  revealed  according  to  our  Lord’s  promise 
(John  16.  12,  13).  The  Apocalypse  shows  the 
Lamb  as  King,  to  become  Victor  on  earth,  to- 
gether Avith  His  church. 

Order.  In  our  English  Bible  the  order  is  not 
chronological.  In  ancient  MSS.  there  was  much 
variation  in  position.  The  Pauline  Epistles  seem 
to  have  been  arranged  according  to  length. 

Pronress  of  Doctrine.  There  is  in  these  Avrit- 
ings  an  advance  of  Christian  thought  toward 
maturity;  but  the  theology  of  the  New  Testa-

merit  is  one,  whatever  progress  is  discernible. 
The  same  Lord  Jesus  Christ  was  apprehended  by 
all  the  writers  in  substantially  the  same  way. 

NEW  TESTAMENT,  Text  of  the.  The 'New 
Testameiit  is  written  entirely  in  Greek. 

The  existence  of  a number  of  various  readings 
in  the  text  of  the  New  Testament  necessitates 
an  inquiry  into  the  materials  from  which  the 
text  is  derived,  and  into  the  causes  which  have 
produced  the  divergent  readings.  Most  of  these 
divergences  are  mere  trifles,  caused  bv  careless 
copying  and  insufficient  correction. 

The  materials  of  textual  criticism  are : — 

1.  Copies.  [See  Maxusckipts  of  the  New 

TESTA31EXT.] 

2.  Versions.  [See  A^eksioxs  (eakliest)  of  the 
New  Testament.] 

o.  Patristic  Citations  from  Copies  or  from 
\ ersions.  The  Greek  copies  of  the  New  Testa- 
ment, as  well  as  the  versions  made  from  the 
Greek,  derive  great  collateral  confirmation  from 
the  citations  made  by  the  Fathers  of  the  church 
And  here  we  have  the  advantage  that  almost 
every  quotation  made  by  a Patristic  writer  is  a 
dated  landmark  in  the  history  of  the  text;  so 
that  from  a study  of  Origen’s  works  we  re- 
cover  large  portions  of  the  MSS.  which  he  used 
in  the  third  century;  from  a studv  of  Cvprian’s 
works  we  restore  the  Latin  Bible  of  Carthage  in 
the  same  century ; from  the  quotations  of  Aphra- 
hat,  the  fourth -century  Persian  Father,  we  de- 
rive great  accessions  to  our  knowledge  of  the 
Old  Syriac  version,  and  so  on. 

It  need  hardly  be  said  that  the  importance  of 
such  examinations  of  the  texts  underlying  Pa- 
tristic writings  is  very  great.  Yet  ive'are  still 
quite  at  the  beginning  of  the  studies  which  ena- 
ble us  to  make  a proper  use  of  these  valuable 
materials. 

Printed  Text.  The  first  printed  text  of  the 
Greek  New  Testament  was  brought  out  by  Car- 
dinal Ximenes  in  the  Bible  which  is  known  as 
the  Complutensian  Polyglot.  This  splendid  work 
is  named  after  the  Lhiiversity  of  Alcala  in  Spain, 
Avhose  Latin  name  is  Comi)lutum.  Although 
this  is  the  first  printed  New  Testament  (1514  a.d.), 
it  is  not  the  first  published ; for  the  issue  of  it  ! 
was  delayed,  and  the  cardinal  was  anticipated  bv 
Erasmus,  who  brought  out  in  151(5  an  edition 
which  was  published  1)y  Froben,  the  printer  of 
Ba,le.  The  work  of  Erasmus  Avas  done  too  hastily, 
and  in  one  passage  at  the  end  of  the  Ai)Ocalypse, 
his  MS.  being  defective,  he  supplied  the  defect 
by  retranslating  from  the  Vulgate. 

Of  later  editions,  the  most  famous  are  those 
which  bear  the  name  of  Beza  the  Reformer,  of 
Stephen,  the  Paris  ])rinter  and  scholar,  and  of 
the  Elzevir  brothers  of  Leyden  in  Holland.  The 
folio  edition  of  Stephen  in  1550  has  become  the 
standard  text  in  many  of  the  countries  of  Europe. 
On  the  other  hand,  the  Elzevir  edition  of  1G24  was 
characterized  by  its  printers,  in  their  second  edi- 
tion of  1(53;5.  as  textns  ah  omnibus  recepfns, 

“ text  received  by  everybody,”  and  hence  is  com- 
monly known  as  the  Textus  Receptus. 

Of  recent  editions,  the  'most  important  are 
those  of  Tischendorf,  Tregelles,  and  Westcott- 
Hortj  and  the  text  that  underlies  the  Revised 
Version  (q.v.). 

NICOLAITANES  [nle'o-la'i-tane«j  (Rev.  2.  (5, 15), 
the  name  of  a sect  of  flentile  Christians  in  Ephe- 
sus and  Pergamnm,  who  rejected  the  decision  of 
the  Jerusalem  council  with  regard  to  food,  and 
its  iirohibition  of  unchastity  (Acts.  15.  20). 

NILE  [nlle],  tlie  great  fertilizing  river  of  Egypt. 
The  name,  which  means  “ dark  ” or  “ blue,”  is  not 
found  in  the  Bible,  but  it  is  understood  to  be 
referred  to  as  Shihor,  or  the  black  stream  (Isa. 
23.  3;  Jer.  2.  18);  and  as  “the  river”  (Gen.  41.  1; 
Ex.  1.  22,  etc.).  It  consists  of  two  rivers  — the 
White  Nile,  which  flows  from  the  Victoria 
Nyanza;  and  the  Blue  Nile,  which  flows  from  the 
Abyssinian  Alountains.  These  streams  unite  at

OLD  TESTAMENT  CANON  [old  tes'ta-ment

ness  all  their  literature  proves;  nor  is  there 
wanting  evidence  that  from  an  early  period  in 
their  history  they  were  in  possession  of  books 
which  were  venerated  as  sacred.  Collections  of 
laws  were  written  down,  and  other  things  of 
national  importance  committed  to  writing  for  a 
memorial.  The  duty  that  Avas  laid  on  the  priests 
to  teach  the  people  — a duty  not  only  enjoined 
in  the  Law  but  presumed  by  the  prophets  — 
could  hardly  have  been  discharged  unless  the 
Law  was  formulated  in  writing.  The  prophets 
also,  or  their  disciples  at  their  dictation,  wrote 
down  for  national  use  the  discourses  which 
they  had  delivered  in  God’s  name. 

The  beginning  of  the  formation  of  a regular 
Canon  {q.v.)  was  in  G21  B.C.,  when  the  Book  of  the 
Law,  found  in  the  Temple,  was  acknowledged  by 
king,  prophets,  priests,  and  people  as  an  authori- 
tative statement  of  the  law  that  had  always  been 
binding  on  the  nation  (2  Kings  22. 11).  After  the 
return  from  the  Exile,  Ezra  {q.v.),  who  is  de- 
scribed as  “ a readv  scribe  in  the  law  of  Moses, 
which  the  Lord  God  of  Israel  had  given”  (Ezra  7. 
6),  for  a whole  week,  “ from  the  morning  until 
midday,”  read  the  Law  solemnly  in  the  audience 
of  the  people.  The  Law  thus  formally  introduced 
into  religious  service  was,  it  is  generally  believed, 
the  whole  Law  or  rentateuch  as  we  now  have  it. 
It  therefore,  from  this  time,  possessed  all  the 
attributes  which  we  ascribe  to  canonical  Scrip- 
ture. All  the  remaining  books  subsequently 
recognized  as  canonical  ivere  classed  in  tivo  great 
divisions:  the  Prophets  {q.v.),  and  the  Writings, 

^^The^ilfbrew^'anon  is  thus  arranged  in  three 
divisions,  marking  the  three  stages  of  its  de- 
velopment. 

BOOKS. 

I.  Law,  i.c.  the  Pentateuch,  or  five  books 

from  Genesis  to  Deuteronomy.  . . 5 

II.  Prophets  — 

1.  Eornier  prophets:  Joshua,  Judges, 

Samuel,  Kings 

2.  Latter  prophets : Isaiah,  Jeremiah, 

Ezekiel,  and  the  Twelve.  ...  4 

III.  AVri  tings  —

Proverbs,  Job 3 

2.  Five  rolls:  Song  of  Songs,  Kuth, 

Lamentations,  Ecclesiastes,  Es- 
ther  5 

3.  Three  books:  Daniel,  Ezra-Nehe- 

miah,  Chronicles 3 

24 

The  arrangement  and  divisions  of  the  Old 
Testament  Canon  bear  witness  to  the  manner  in 
which  the  books  were  brought  together  at  sue- 
cessive  stages.  The  Law-books  exhibit  the  funda- 
mental  Covenant  {q.v.),  with  its  legal  sanctions 
and  conditions,  whereby  Israel  was  set  apart  and 
kept  apart  for  the  execution  of  the  divine  pur- 
pose. The  Prophets  exhibit  the  unfolding  of 
the  purpose  in  the  history,  and  emphasize  the 
spiritual  aspect  and  abiding  conditions  of  the 
covenant.  And  the  Writings,  in  various  tones, 
reproduce,  as  in  the  Psalms,  the  answer  of  the 
human  soul  to  God’s  voice,  or,  as  in  Proverbs 
and  .Job,  the  questionings  and  reasonings  of  the 
spirit  as  it  turns  its  regard  inwards  upon  itself. 

All  the  books  of  the  Old  Testament,  with  very 
few  exceptions,  are  quoted  directly  or  referred 
to  in  the  New  Testament:  certainly  there  are 
quotations  from,  or  referenees  to,  every  group 
of  books  in  the  ('anon,  which  thus  receives  from 
our  Lord  and  His  apostles  the  highest  sanction. 
And  just  as  we  welcome  the  more  warmly  an  ac- 
quaintance Avho  has  been  introduced  to  us  by 
our  best  friend,  so  the  Old  Testament  becomes 
luminous  and  precious  to  us  from  its  “ intro- 
duction” by  Christ,  who  opened  the  under- 
standings of  His  disciples  to  understand  the 


Scriptures,  and  showed  them  how  all  things 
written  in  the  Law  and  the  Prophets  and  the 
Psalms  were  fulfilled  in  Himself.  [See  Axtibe- 
GOMENA  and  Apocrypha.]  4.  • t 

OLD  TESTAMENT,  Chief  Characteristics  of 
fhQ.  — Variety  of  contents.  The  subjects  with 
which  the  books  deal  are  most  diversified. 
There  is  history  going  back  to  primeval  times, 
and  coming  down  to  the  period  after  the  return 
from  the  Exile.  There  is  law  in  its  higher  moral 
aspects,  and  in  its  minutest  details  bearing  upon 
daily  life  and  religious  ceremony.  There  is  iiroph- 
eev  ever  insisting  on  the  justice  and  faithfulness 
of  God,  reaffirming  His  covenant  relation  to 
Israel,  and  reaching  forth  to  issues  affecting 
the  whole  human  race.  And  there  is  the  out- 
pouring of  the  religious  spirit  in  sacred  poetry, 
and  its  reflections  on  the  dealings  of  Providence 
with  a world  full  of  evil.  The  combination  of 
these  elements  is  most  remarkable.  The  law- 
books are  full  of  history;  the  historical  books 
contain  prophecy ; the  prophetical  books  need 
to  be  read  in  connection  with  the  history ; poetry 
is  not  confined  to  special  books ; and  speculation 
assumes  poetical  forms. 

Diversity  of  style.  In  keeping  with  the  variety 
of  contents  is  the  diversity  of  style.  There  is  the 
stiff  formal  sententiousness  of  the  law,  the  sim- 
ple and  flowing  style  of  narrative,  the  lofty  strain 
of  the  prophets,  sometimes  hurried  away  by  the 
rapidity  of  their  own  thoughts,  at  other  times 
...A  their  anticipations 


rapt  into  the  noblest  poetry  i 
nf  future  jrlorv.  The  Psalb 


ofYuture  glory.  The  Psalter  is  a harp  of  many 
strings,  now  pathetic  and  plaintive,  apin  joy- 
ouslv  jubilant;  and  the  speculative  books  search 
out  new  modes  of  expression,  or  coin  new  words 
to  express  the  new  ideas  with  which  they  strug- 

^^%fference  of  date.  Some  parts  of  these  boqks 
mav  have  been  handed  down  orally  before  being 
committed  to  writing.  Of  mmiy  of  them  the 
precise  date  cannot  be  determined,  and  in  some 
books  early  and  late  matters  are  found  side  by 
side.  They  extend  over  the  whole  field  of  Old 
Testament  history  from  the  early  days  of  Moses 
to  a considerable  time  after  Ezra  and  Nehemiah ; 
and  no  age  during  this  period  is  without  its  con- 
tributions to  this  literature. 

U)d)ormity  in  language.  W ith  all  this  diver- 
sity there  is  a striking  uniformity.  The  Hebrew 
of  the  earliest  writings  is  substantially  the  same 
as  that  of  the  later  books.  There  are  yaneties 
of  stvle  and  expression,  to  be  explained  by  the 
personality  of  the  writer,  the  subject  treated,  or 
the  locality  of  the  writing;  but  there  are  no  dis- 
tinct dialects.  The  work  of  the  Massoretes  (q.r.) 
tended  to  obliterate  shades  of  difference ; still  it 
is  clear  that  the  language  early  assumed  a fixity 
which  it  preserved  to  the  end.  . 

Uniformity  of  tone.  There  is  a singular 
consistency  in  the  presentation  of  the  grea^ 
fundamental  truths  which  the  Old  Testament 
embodies.  The  weakness  and  sinfulness  of  man, 
fhe  holiness  and  righteousness  of  God,  the  grace 
of  God  as  the  source  of  all  blessing,  the  rule  of 
God  as  the  law  of  the  universe,  the  faithfulness 
of  God  as  the  pledge  of  all  good  — these  are  en- 
grained in  the  whole  texture  of  the  (Jld  Testa- 
ment. The  illustration  of  these  truths  in  the 
history  of  Israel  is  the  connecting  bond  between 
all  the  books,  the  whole  constituting  the  record 
of  the  first  stages  in  the  work  of  redemption. 

The  progression  of  the  revelation,  moreover 
underlies  the  order  of  the  books.  The  law-books 
exhibit  the  choosing  and  preparation  of  a select 
people,  and  the  covenant  relation  in  which  the.v 
were  placed.  The  historical  books  show  how 
this  relation  was  in  history  ignored  or  falsihecl 
on  the  human  side ; and  the  prophetical  books  are 
ever  holding  it  up  as  an  ideal,  exhibiting  Hs  di- 
vine side  and  its  educational  meaning.  And  then 
the  Psalms,  in  particular,  and  the  Wisdoin  books 
also,  show  the  highest  point  that  ivas  attained  in

Old  Testament 


Israel  in  the  assimilation  and  exemplification  of 
the  religion  as  founded  in  the  Law  and  enforced 
in  the  Prophets.  By  the  experience  of  failure  and 
the  collapse  of  external  supports,  as  well  as  by 
the  positive  teaching  of  prophetic  men,  the  whole 
of  the  older  economy  was  made  preparatory  to 
a better  dispensation. 

The  grotq)ing  of  the  books  has,  in  some  cases, 
proceeded  on  artificial  lines.  The  “ twelve  proph- 
ets” are  grouped  together,  although  some  of 
them  are  probably  earlier  than  the  greater 
prophets  which  stand  before  them.  Still  more 
arbitrary  has  been  the  placing  of  the  “ five  rolls  ” 
together,  irrespective  of  their  connection  with 
other  books.  Thus  the  Book  of  Ruth  is  separated 
from  Judges,  and  the  Book  of  Lamentations  from 
Jeremiah;  and  our  version  does  well  to  place 
them  as  it  has  done.  The  two  Books  of  Samuel 
are  not  two  independent  compositions  placed  to- 
gether, but  are  simply  two  parts  of  one  whole ; 
and  so  also  are  the  Books  of  Kings. 

The  authorship  of  many  of  these  books  remains 
unknown,  or  can,  at  most,  only  be  conjectured 
with  varying  probability.  If  we  question  the  I 


books  themselves  on  the  subject,  it  will  be  found 
that  many  of  them  fail  to  give  any  clear  indi- 
cation of  the  writers  from'  whose  hands  they 
came.  The  prophetical  books,  indeed,  for  the 
most  part,  bear  the  names  of  the  men  whose 
words. they  contain,  although,  even  here,  the 
writers  of  the  books  may  not  have  been  through- 
out the  speakers  of  the  words.  Jeremiah,  we 
know,  was  indebted  to  his  friend  Baruch  for 
help  in  putting  down  his  prophecies  (Jer.  36),  and 
a similar  thing  may  have  been  the  case  with 
others.  And,  not  to  speak  of  Job,  Ecclesiastes, 
etc.,  the  whole  of  the  historical  books  from 
Joshua  to  Esther  are  entirely  anonymous,  if  we 
except  portions  of  Ezra  and  Nehemiah,  and  in  re- 
gard to  most  of  them  it  is  certain  that  different 
materials  have  been  united  by  editorial  hands. 
The  anonymity  of  the  historical  books  rather  en- 
hances than  detracts  from  their  value  They 
come  to  us  with  the  sanction  of  jniblic  acknowl- 
edgment. The  books  are  not  private  composi- 
tions, but  the  public  testimony  of  the  nation. 

OLD  TESTAMENT,  Text  of  the.  The  Old 
Testament  has  come  down  to  us  written  in  what 


Portion  of  Manfscript  (Ex.  5 
The  earliest  dated  Hebrew  MS.  in  tl 

is  called  the  square  character,  a modification  of 
the  original  script,  Avhich  was  no  doubt  the  char- 
acter in  use  in  Phoenicia.  The  tablets  discov- 
ered at  Tel  el-Amarna  {q.v.)  in  Egypt  prove  that 
about  the  middle  of  the  second  millennium  b.o. 
regular  correspondence  was  carried  on  betAveen 
Egyptian  and  Palestinian  officials  in  the  Babylo- 
nian language,  and  from  this  it  is  supposed  that 
the  Phoenician  alphabet  was  not  at  that  time  cur- 
rent in  Palestine ; but  from  the  celebrated  Siloam 
inscription  we  know  that  it  was  current  in  Jeru- 
salem in  the  eighth  century  b.c.  The  square 
character  Avas  already  employed  in  Hebrew  MSS. 
when  the  Septuaginit  translation  was  made  in 
the  third  century  b.c.  The  letter  yocl  (which 
was  not  the  smallest  in  the  Phoenician  alphabet) 
was  in  our  Lord’s  time  proverbial  for  minuteness 
(Mat.  5.  18),  which  shows  that  the  square  charac- 
ter Avas  then  in  commbn  use. 

In  Hebrew,  the  consonants  only  were  written, 
and  the  vowels  were  left  to  be  inferred.  This 
defect  is  remedied  in  printed  Hebrew  by  an  elab- 
orate system  of  voaa'oI  points,  known  as  the 
Massoretic  (or  traditional)  punctuation.  These 
points  Avere  added  by  Jewish  doctors  to  fix  the 
pronunciation  so  as  to  exclude  various  readings 
or  misunderstandings  of  the  text. 

The  editors  of  the  text  of  the  Old  Testament 
are  at  a disadvantage  in  comparison  with  those 
of  the  New  Testament,  in  that,  Avliile  the  books

thej'  have  to  edit  are  older,  the  copies  are  much 
younger.  No  MS.  of  the  Old  Testament  is  reck- 
oned to  be  older  than  the  tenth  century  a.d., 
and  it  has  been  thought  that  those  MSS.  which 
are  extant  are  all  descendants  of  a common  an- 
cestor not  earlier  than  the  second  century  a.d. 
No  doubt  the  Jewish  custom  of  destroying  or 
burying  worn-out  MSS.  has  much  to  do  with  our 
present  poverty.  From  Jewish  fathers  (J.e.,  the 
Talmud)  almost  nothing  is  to  be  gained  for  the 
improvement  of  the  text. 

We  have,  however,  two  sources  of  evidence 
which  are  of  great  value  — the  Targams  (q.v.) 
and  the  Versions,  the  latter  including  the  Sa- 
maritan Pentateuch  {q.v.) ; the  Septuagint  {q.v.) ; 
the  Hexapla  (17.V.)  of  Origen;  the  Peshito  ((7.V.): 
the  Old  Latin,  as  it  existed  before  the  days  of 
Jerome,  merely  a translation  of  the  Greek  of  the 
Septuagint ; and  the  Vulgate  {q.v.). 

Long  before  the  voAvel  system  of  the  Masso- 
retes  {q.v.)  was  elaborated,  translations  had  been 
made  from  the  bare  consonantal  text,  anil  a 
study  of  these  versions  enables  us  to  infer  what 
was  the  condition  of  the  Hebrew  text  at  the 
time  the  translations  Avere  made,  and  the  sense 
in  which  the  texts  were  read.  The  most  valua- 
ble of  these  for  comparative  purjioses  is  the 
Septuagint.  Making  allowance  for  errors  of 
transcribers  and  mistakes  of  translators,  Ave  may 
conclude  that  the  Hebrew  text  of  most  of  the

Paul 


at  8 a.m.  Jerusalem  (3,167  feet  above  the  sea) 
has  an  average  temperature  of  63°  F.,  ranging 
from  39°  in  January  to  102°  in  August  (the  great- 
est extremes  observed  since  1860);  the  average 
variation  of  temperature  within  twenty-four 
hours  being  no  less  than  51°  F.  These  changes 
are  characteristic  of  the  whole  of  Syria  (ef.  Gen. 
31.  40;  Jer.  36.  30). 

The  brokenness  of  the  land,  and  especially  the 
mixture  of  hill  and  plain,  predisposed  Palestine 
to  be  a land  of  tribes  and  clans.  The  Western 
Range,  both  south  and  north  of  Esdraelon,  with 
Gilead  on  the  Eastern  Range,  comprised  Israel’s 
proper  territory.  This  confinement  to  the  hills 
secured  Israel’s  independence  and  purity.  The 
plains  and  the  valleys  were  the  portions  of  the 
country  open  to  the  traffic  and  the  war  of  for- 
eign empires.  Though  the  ancient  highways  of 
trade  between  the  Euphrates  and  the  Nile,  and 
from  Tyre  to  the  Arabian  Gulf,  passed  through 
the  entire  length  of  Palestine,  Israel  was  planted 
aloof  from. all  these  in  mountain  isolation;  long 
after  her  neighbors  had  succumbed  to  Assyrian 
war  or  Greek  culture,  Judah  preserved  her  inde- 
pendence and  her  loyaltv  to  the  law  of  her  God.

PALMERWORM  [palm'er- worm].  [See  Locust.] 

PALM  [palm]  TI^E,  the  date  palm,  once  com- 
mon in  Palestine,  now  all  but  extinct  there. 
Phoenicia  means  “land  of  palms;’’  Bethany 
“ house  of  dates’’  {cf.  Deut.  34.  3;  John  12. 13). 

PANNAG  [pan'nag]  (Ezek.  27.  17;  R.  V.  margin, 

“ perhaps  a kind  of  confection  ’’).  It  was  proba- 
bly “millet.” 

PAPYRUS  [pa-py'rus].  [See  Bulrush.] 

PARABLE  [par  a-ble]  (Gr.  “comparison”),  the  ' 
statement  of  a spiritual  truth,  a law  or  principle 
of  the  kingdom  of  God,  by  means  of  a description 
or  narration  of  facts  in  the  world  of  nature  or  in 
human  experience,  which  are  represented  in  such 
a way  as  to  illuminate  facts  in  the  world  of  spirit. 
The  parabolic  form  of  teaching,  common  in  the 
East,  received  the  special  application  and  signifi- 
cance described  above  in  the  hands  of  Jesus  (cf. 
Mat.  13. 34, 35 ; Mark  4.  33, 34 ; John  16.  25,  29).  His 
parables  are  recorded  in  the  first  three  Gospels 
(John  10.  1 ff.  and  15. 1 ff.  are  allegories).  The 
allegory  resembles  a riddle;  in  it  the  thing  rep- 
resented is  indentified  with  the  thing  signified, 
and  all  its  details  are  interpreted  on  this  princi- 
ple. But  the  parable  needs  only  to  correspond  as  a 
whole  with  the  central  truth  it  is  intended  to  con- 
vey ; its  details,  composed  of  familiar  facts,  form 
the  frame  in  which  the  new  truth  is  presented 
to  the  mind,  and  need  not  themselves  convey 
new  truth  ; and  most  of  the  early  Fathers  of  the 
church,  who  saw,  for  example,  in  the  slaying  of 
the  fatted  calf  (Luke  15.  23)  a reference  to  the 
Saviour’s  death,  are  less  trustworthy  guides  in 
expounding  their  meaning  than  Chrysostom  and 
Calvin,  who  discerned  that  the  main  thing  in  a 
parable  is  its  point,  which  being  found,  the  de- 
gree in  which  the  details  make  that  point  clearer 
becomes  self-evident. 

The  Parables  of  Jesus,  setting  forth  the 
history  and  principles  of  the  kingdom  of  God, 
may  be  thus  classified : — 

I.  Founding  of  the  kingdom' by  ingathering  of 
individuals.  — 'FhQ  lost  sheep  (Luke  15.  3),  lost 
com  (Luke  15.  8),  lost  son  (Luke  15. 11),  great  sup- 
per (Luke  14.  15). 

II.  Reception  of  the  kingdom  by  various 
classes.  — TYvq  sower  (Luke  8.  5),  father  and  sons 
(Mat.  21.  28),  wicked  husbandmen  (Mat.  21.  3.3), 
rich  fool  (Luke  12. 16),  hid  treasure  (Mat.  13.  44), 
pearl  of  great  price  (Mat.  13.  4.5). 

III.  Growth  of  the  kingdom.  — The  mustard 

seed  (Mat.  13.  31),  leaven  (Mat.  13.  .33),  growing 
seed  (Mark  4.  26),  tares  (Mat.  13.  24),  drag-net 
(Mat.  13.  47).  ^ 

I Y . The  citizens  of  the  kingdom  — their  duties 
and  privileges.  — The  tower,  and  warring  king 
(Luke  14.  28),  two  debtors  (Luke  7.  41),  unmerci- 


ful servant  (Mat.  18.  23),  good  Samaritan  (Luke 
10.  30),  talents  (Mat.  25.  14),  pounds  (Luke  19.  12), 
laborers  in  the  vineyard  (Mat.  20.  1),  master  and 
servant  (Luke  17.  7),  barren  fig-tree  (Luke  13.  6) 
unjust  steward  (Luke  16.  1),  importunate  friend 
(Luke  11.  5),  unjust  judge  (Luke  18.  2),  Pharisee 
and  publican  (Luke  18.  9),  servants  watching 
(Luke  12.  35),  householder  watching  (Mark  13. 34) 
ten  virgins  (Mat.  25.  1). 

Y . Consummation  of  the  kingdom — judg- 
ment. —The  two  builders  (Mat.  7.  24),  rich’  man 
and  Lazarus  (Luke  16.  19),  tyrannical  steward 
(Luke  12.  42),  drag-net  (Mat.  13.  47),  marriage  of 
king’s  son  (Mat.  22.  1). 

Parabolic  Sayings  or  Proverbs.  — Ye  are 
the  salt  of  the  earth  (Mat.  5.  13),  candle  under 
bushel  (Mat.  5. 15),  mote  and  beam  (Mat.  7.  3), 
children  of  bride-chamber  (Mat.  9.  15),  house- 
holder and  his  treasures  (Mat.  13.  52),  blind  lead- 
ing blind  (Mat.  15.  14),  where  the  carcase  is  (Mat. 
24.  28),  physician,  heal  thyself  (Luke  4.  23),  new 
cloth  on  old  garment  (Luke  5.  36),  new  wine  in 
old  bottles  (Luke  5.  37),  children  in  market-place

PARACLETE  [par'a-elGte],  [See  Comforter.] 
PARALLELISM  [par'al-lel-ism].  [See  Poetry 
OF  THE  Bible.] 

PARTHIA  [par'thi-a],  a country  on  the  east  side 
of  the  Caspian  Sea.  The  kingdom  of  Parthia, 
founded  248  b.c.  by  Arsaces  IT.,  grew  into  an  em- 
pire, and  contended  on  equal  terms  with  Rome. 
PASSOVER  [pass'o'ver].  [See  Feasts.] 
PASTORAL  EPISTLES  [pas'tor-al  e-pis'tles], 
the  three  epistles  of  St.  Paul  in  which  he  gives 
instructions  to  Timothy  and  Titus  for  their  min- 
istry. It  is  believed  that  1 Timothy  and  Titus 
were  written  after  the  imprisonment  mentioned 
in  Acts  28.  30,  31,  and  2 Timothy  during  a second 
imprisonment  at  Rome. 

PATMOS  [pat  mos]  (Rev.  1.  9),  a very  rugged 
island  south  of  Samos,  where  St.  John  wrote  the 
Apocalypse,  having,  according  to  tradition,  been 
banished  to  it  during  the  reign  of  Domitian. 
PATRIARCHS  [pri'trl-archs].  [See  Abraham.] 
PAUL  [paul]  (ST.),  the  Epistles  of.  Of  these 
we  possess  thirteen.  They  were  written  by 
amanuenses,  and  authenticated  by  the  addition 
of  a paragraph  in  St.  Paul’s  own  writing  (Gal.  6 
11),  or  by  his  signature  (2  Thes.  3.  17).  With  the 
exception  of  the  epistles  to  Timotliv  and  Titus, 
which  are  still  questioned  by  some'^critics,  the 
epistles  ascribed  to  St.  Paul  are  generally  re- 
ceived as  his. 

These  thirteen  epistles  all  belong  to  the  later 
half  of  St.  Paul’s  ministry.  In  the  year  52  or  53 
A.D.  the  two  epistles  to  the  Thessalonians  were 
written.  Then  follows  another  blank  period  till 
57  or  58,  when,  within  the  space  of  one  year,  the 
four  great  epistles  to  the  Corinthians.  Galatians, 
and  Romans  were  produced.  Again  there  occurs 
an  interval  of  five  years  till  63,  when  the  four 
“prison  epistles”  appeared;  and  finally,  yet  an- 
other gap,  until  66-68  a.d.,  when  he  sent  the  pas- 
toral letters  to  Timothy  and  Titus. 

In  the  earliest  group  the  second  coming  and 
the  kingdom  of  Christ  are  in  the  foreground. 
The  second  group  exhibits  the  doctrines  of  grace 
in  conflict  with  Judaism,  and  also  shows  us  in 
detail  the  difficulties  Christianity  had  to  over- 
come in  the  social  ideas  and  customs  of  the  Ro- 
man world.  The  third  group  is  characterized 
by  a calmer  spirit,  a higher  reach  of  Christian 
thought,  more  constructive  statements  regard- 
ing Christ’s  person.  In  the  fourth  group  we  have 
chiefly  instructions  regarding  church  order,  in- 
terspersed with  passages  of  remarkable  beauty 
and  richness. 

PAUL  (ST.),  Early  Life  of.  Birth  and  Train- 
ing. — Saul  of  Tarsus  was  the  son  of  Hebrew 
parents,  and  belonged  to  the  tribe  of  Benjamin. 
He  was  “ head  and  shoulders  ” above  his  brethren 
in  intellect  and  influence,  as  his  namesake,  the

king,  had  been  in  mere  physique.  He  was  born 
to  the  privilege  of  Roman  citizenship,  and  is 
best  known  by  his  Roman  name  of  Paul;  and 
he  used  his  birthright  for  his  own  protection 
when  persecuted  as  a Christian  (Acts  22.  -5  2J). 
He  thought  highly  of  Tarsus,  his  birthplace.  Its 
iTOundings  were  beautiful  and  favorable it 


surroundings  were  beautiful  and  favorable ; it 
was  “no  mean  city ; ” but  its  pagan  immoralities 
must  have  helped  to  deepen  his  sense  of  human 
depravity  {cf.  Rom.  1.  2G,  27).  In  Tarsus  he  was 
brought  up  as  a strictly  Jewish  child,  getting 
possibly  some  insight  into  pagan  literature,  but 
mainly  occupied  with  the  Hebrew  Canon.  At 
the  affe  of  thirteen,  when  he  should  become  a 
“ child  of  the  Law,”  he  was  most  likely  trans- 
ferred to  Jerusalem,  where  his  sister  was,  and 


there  put  under  the  charge  of  Gamaliel,  the  son 
of  Sinieon,  and  grandson  of  the  renowned  Hillel. 

Gamaliel  appears  to  great  advantage  in  the 
Acts  of  the  Apostles  as  the  advocate  of  tolera- 
tion (Acts  5. 34).  He  was  also  favorable  to  a more 
liberal  education  than  was  to  be  had  in  other 
schools.  Still  it  is  quite  possible  that  a naan  of 
such  influence  may,  notwithstanding  his  tolerant 
spirit  have  had  much  to  do  with  the  deputations 
from,  the  pharisees  which  waited  upon  J esus  and 
tried  to  entangle  Him  in  His  talk. 

As  Saul  cannot  well  have  been  more  than  ton 
vears  vounger  than  Jesus,  and  may  have  been 
itill  at  Gamaliel’s  feet  during  our  Lord  s public 
ministry,  it  is  quite  reasonable  to  suppose  that 
he  saw  and  heard  Jesus  in  the  flesh,  though  such

Taksus. 


a knowing  of  Christ  after  the  flesh  (2  Cor.  5. 16 ; 
cf  1 Cor.  9.  1)  cannot  have  ended  in  any  saving 
interest  in  Him.  On  the  contrary,  Saul  seems  to 
have  been  led  into  deep  antagonism  to  Christ 
and  His  cause.  Indeed  he  came,  as  a “Pharisee 
of  the  Pharisees,”  to  regard  Christ  as  the  enemy 
of  Pharisaism,  as  pursuing  an  unpatriotic  course, 
and  as  never  likely  to  give  the  Hebrew  race  the 
nolitical  emancipation  it  desired.  Though  a 
nunil  of  Gamaliel,  Saul  did  not  follow  his  master 
in  his  tolerant  courses,  but,  with  the  fiery  ardor 
of  youth,  stood  ready  to  undertake  a crusade 
against  the  Christian  cause. 

^On  the  Way  to  Daynascns.  — Accordingly, 
when  Stephen  earned  the  crown  of  martyrdom, 
the  voung  Saul  did  not  hesitate  to  hold  the 
raiment  of  the  witnesses  who  secured  his  con- 
demnation and  stoned  him  (Acts  7. 58).  Not  only 
so,  but  he  obtained  authority  from  the  chief 
priests  to  hunt  down  the  Christians,  and,  first 
at  Jerusalem,  and  afterwards  in  other  cities,  he 
prosecuted  his  work  of  extermination  (Acts  8. 
l-S')  He  was  essentially  a man  of  action. 

Yet  we  must  believe  he  had  been  discovering 
the  weakness  of  the  legal  system  in  which,  as  a 
Pharisee,  he  had  been  brought  up.  It  would 
appear  from  Rom.  7.  7 that  the  tenth  command- 
ment in  particular  had  borne  in  upon  his  con- 


science a sense  of  sin  which  no  ritual  could 
remove.  He  must  also  have  thought  much  upon 
the  crucifixion  of  Christ  and  upon  the  signifi- 
cance of  His  resurrection  — if  it  were  indeed 
true,  as  the  persecuted  Christians  believed,  that 
He  had  risen  from  the  dead.  So  we  are  war- 
ranted in  believing  that  Saul  may  have  experi- 
enced considerable  heart-searching,  and  thought 
much  about  Christ,  before  he  undertook  the 
journey  to  Damascus  which  revolutionized  his 

Conversion.  — As  he  approached  Damascus 
on  his  mission  of  persecution,  he  w'as  over- 
whelmed by  a dazzling  splendor  such  as  out- 
shone the  Syrian  sun,  and  heard  a voice  saying 
to  him,  “ Saul,  Saul,  why  persecutes!  thou  me.-’ 
Most  probably  the  stricken  persecutor  recognizes 
the  voice ; but  to  make  sure,  he  cries.  Who  art 
thou,  Lord?”  and  receives  as  answer,  1 am 
Jesus,  whom  thou  persecutes!.”  Then  is  borne 
in  upon  his  spirit  the  fact  that  Jesus,  who  was 
put  to  death  through  Pharisaic  spite,  is  risen, 
and  is  svmpathizing  with  His  persecuted  peo- 
ple, taking  their  persecution  as  meant  for  Him- 
self. There  is  nothing  better  now  for  Saul  to 
do  than  surrender  to  the  risen  Saviour.  Hence- 
forth Christ  is  Lord  of  his  conscience,  and  his 
one  concern  is  to  know  what  his  Lord  would

have  him  to  do.  This  is  not  all  at  once  revealed 
to  him.  He  is.  directed  to  go  on  to  Damascus, 
where  he  will  receive  further  light.  Here  his  lost 
sight  is  restored,  he  is  baptized  by  Ananias,  and 
receives  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost  (Acts  9. 10-18). 

He  is  now  driven  by  the  Spirit,  as  Christ  had 
been  before  him,  into  the  wilderness,  and  in 


Arabia  he  spends  a considerable  season  in  medi- 
tation. Three  years  are  spent  in  fellowship  with 
his  newly-found  Lord  and  Master  before  he 
seeks  any  of  the  apostles ; and  these  years  en-

rabbi  at  Gamaliel’s  feet  becomes,  at  the  feet  of 
Christ,  the  great  teacher  of  the  church,  trans- 
lating Christianity  into  a universal  religion. 

At  Jerusalem.  — From  the  Arabian  solitude  he 
returned  “ in  the  power  of  the  Spirit  ” to  Da- 
mascus, and  then  went  to  Jerusalem  for  a fifteen 
days’  visit  to  St.  Peter.  Here  he  doubtless  veri- 
fied his  views  of  Christ  and  His  gospel,  and 
departed  for  Syria  and  Cilicia  in  a delightful 
state  of  amity  with  the  brethren  (Gal.  1.  18-24). 
Tarsus  now  became  his  headquarters.  Most 
likely  his  family  had  removed  to  Jerusalem  be- 
fore this  time,  and  they  probably  regarded  him 
as  an  apostate  beyond  the  pale  of  their  care  and 
sympathy.  In  deciding  for  Christ,  he  conferred 
not  with  flesh  and  blood  (Gal.  1.  16).  It  Avas  not 
to  fall  back  on  them,  therefore,  that  he  returned 
to  his  old  home.  It  was  to  break  ground,  as  a 
witness  for  Christ,  where  he  believed  that  he 
would  be  most  Aisefiil.  To  his  tent-making, 
moreover,  which  he  had  learned  in  early  youth, 
he  noAV  betook  himself  for  support,  Avhiie  testi- 
fying as  he  had  opportunity  to  the  presence  and 
power  of  Christ. 

The  Apostle  of  the  GcaGVc.s.  — His  own  idea  at 
first  was  that  the  synagogue  and  his  Jewish 
countrymen  constituted  the  field  for  Avhich  he 
Avas  si)ecially  fitted  (Acts  22.  19-21).  His  Lord 
thought  otherwise.  The  Gentiles  were  hence- 
forward to  be  Saul’s  chief  care.  To  this  special 
work  he  had  been  divinely  called.  Asia  Minor, 
the  Aegean  Archipelago,  Greece,  Rome,  became 
the  parish  of  this  greatest  of  Christian  mission- 
aries. The  travels  of  this  Roman  citizen  are  more 
important  to  the  Avorld  noAv  than  the  tra\'els  of 
the  emperor.  He  remains,  after  Jesus  Christ, 
his  Lord  and  Master,  the  most  influential  of  the 
sons  of  men.

Syria,  and  afterwards  the  residence  of  the  Ro- 
man governors  of  the  province  of  the  same 
name,  stood  on  the  left  bank  of  the  Orontes, 
which  a little  lower  down  separates  the  range 
of  Mount  Amanus  from  the  chain  of  Lebanon. 
Built  partly  on  an  island,  partly  on  Ioav  ground, 
and  partly  on  the  rocky  slopes  of  Mount  Silpius, 
it  was  a city  of  singular  beauty,  adorned  with 
magnificent  temples,  palaces,  and  colonnades. 
Its  delightful  climate,  and  the  close  proximity 
of  the  sanctuary  of  Apollo  — Avith  its  fountains, 
its  groves,  and  its  licentious  rites  — attracted 
pleasure-seekers  from  all  parts  of  the  Roman 
Empire.  But  a large  maiority  of  its  population 
Avas  a worthless  rabble  of  Greeks  and  Orientals, 
which  ]iassed  its  time  in  the  theatres  or  in  fac- 
tion fights  on  the  racecourse.  There  was  also  a 
large  JeAvish  colony  dating  from  the  time  Avhen, 
under  the  Seleucid  monarchs,  and  especially 
during  the  reign  of  Antiochus  Epiphanes,  An- 
tioch Avas  closely  connected  with  Jewish  history. 
Hoav  far  the  Antiochian  Jcavs  had  been  able  to 
resist  the  Greek  influence  to  which  they  Avere 
exposed  is  uncertain;  but  many  of  the  Greeks 
ap])ear  to  have  become  “God-fearing  prose- 
lytes,’’ or  “ Proselytes  of  the  Gate.” 

On  the  dispersion  that  followed  the  martyrdom 
of  Ste])hen,  certain  Jcavs  of  Cyprus  ami  (’yrene, 
who  had  been  brought  up  in  Greek  lands;  came 
to  Antioch,  and  addressed  both  Jews  and  Greek 
proselytes  in  the  synagogue.  Their  preaching 
was  successful.  A mixed  body  of  Jews  and 
Greek  ])roselytes  formed  a primitive  congrega- 
tion, Avhich  gradually  increased  in  numbers  until 
it  attracted  the  attention  of  the  church  in  Jeru- 
salem. In  accordance  Avith  a former  precedent 
(Acts  8.  14),  Barnabas,  “a  good  man,  and  full  of 
the  Holy  Ghost  and  of  faich,”  was  .sent  by  the 
church  to  encourage  tlie  new  congregation.  Af- 
ter exhorting  them  to  “cleave  unto  the  Lord,”

lem,  and  whose  special  qualifications  for  work 
amongst  the  Gentiles  he  knew.  They  returned 
together  (43  a.d.),  and  henceforth  Antioch  be- 
comes the  centre  of  progress  and  of  historical 
interest  in  the  church.  Here  the  brethren  were 
first  called  Christians,  or  “they  that  are  con- 
nected with  Christos”  — a title  that  could  not 
have  originated  with  the  Jews.  Whether  Chris- 
tos were  a god  or  a leader  the  Antiochians  knew 
not,  and  popular  fancy  changed  the  name  to 
Chrestos  (“good,  useful”),  a term  which  occurs 
in  the  form  Chrestiani}  in  inscriptions. 

Agabus  having  foretold  a dearth,  the  congre- 
gation sent  Barnabas  and  Saul  with  relief  to  the 
brethren  in  Judaea.  The  visit,  probably  that  re- 
ferred to  in  Gal.  2.  2 as  due  to  a revelation,  marks 
an  important  stage  in  the  development  of  the 
church.  The  older  apostles  recognized  the  apos- 
tleship  of  Barnabas  and  Saul  (Gal.  2.  9),  and  their 
special  mission  to  “ preach  Him  among  the  Gen- 
tiles.” Saul  was  also  able  to  confer  in-ivately 
Avith  the  three  leading  apostles;  and  Titus,  a 
Greek  who  had  accompanied  him  to  Jerusalem, 
was  not  compelled  to  be  circumcised. 

The  Antiochian  delegates  appear  to  have  re- 
mained in  the  city  during  the  year  of  famine 
(46  A.D.),  and  it  was  possibly  during  this  period 
that  the  wonderful  revelation  described  in  2 Cor. 
12.  2-4  took  place.  They  left  in  the  early  part  of 
47  A.D. ; Saul,  whilst  in  a trance,  having  been 


told  by  the  Lord  to  “ depart : for  I will  send  thee 
far  hence  unto  the  Gentiles  ” (Acts  22.  21).  Soon 
after  their  return  to  Antioch,  with  Jqhn  Mark 
as  companion,  there  was  a fuller  manifestation 
of  divine  grace  to  the  church.  As  the  prophets 
and  teachers  — Barnabas,  Simeon,  surnamed 
Niger,  and  Lucius  of  Cyrene,  with  Manaen,  fos- 
ter-brother of  Herod  the  tetrarch,  and  Saul  — 
ministered  to  the  Lord  and  fasted,  the  Holy 
Spirit  commanded : “ Separate  me  Barnabas  and 
Saul  for  the  work  whereunto  I have  called 
them.”  The  church,  after  holding  a special 
service,  bade  them God-speed”  ; and  they  de- 
scended the  valley  of  the  Orontes  to 

Seleucio,  a strong  maritime  fortress,  built  by 
Seleucus  Nicator,  with  an  inner  and  an  outer 
harbor,  whence  ships  sailed  to  all  parts  of  the 
Levant.  Here,  about  March  47  a.d.,  the  apostles 
embarked  for 

Cyprus,  and  sailing  out  past  the  towering  peak 
of  Mount  Casius,  landed  on  the  east  side  of  the 
island  at  Salamis,  then  a tiourishing  city,  Avith  a 
large  Jewish  population;  now  a solitude,  over- 
grown with  thorns  and  thistles.  At 

Salamis,  Avhere  they  probably  found  a small 
congregation  of  Christians  (Acts  11.  19),  they 
preached  in  the  synagogue.  They  then  made  a 
missionary  tour  through  the  island,  visiting  the 
JeAvish  communities,  and  finally  reached 

Paphos.  This  town,  built  on  the  slopes  of  a 


conspicuous  hill  which  was  croAvned  by  the  fa- 
mous temple  of  Aphrodite,  Avas  the  residence  of 
the  Roman  proconsul  Sergius  Paulus.  Amongst 
the  suite  of  the  gwernor  was  a Jew  — Elymas, 
Bar-jesus  — avIio  Avas  skilled  in  all  the  lore  and 
strange  poAvers  of  the  Median  Magi.  This  man 
represented  a Avidespread  Eastern  religion, 
Avhich  must  either  destroy  or  be  destroyed  by 
Christianity;  and,  AAdien  the  apostles  Avere 
brought  before  the  proconsul,  he  withstood 
Saul.  The  conflict  between  the  two  religions  — 
one  crushing  all  individuality  in  its  votaries,  the 
other  proclaiming  freedom  for  the  human  mind 
— Avas  short.  The  triumph  of  Christianity  was 


[OS.  {From  a Photograph  by  Bonfh.) 

complete.  Elymas  was  struck  with  blindness, 
and  the  governor  believed, 

Saul,  like  every  educated  Cilician  and  Syrian, 
had  a native  and  a Greek  name.  He  now  drops 
his  Jewish  name,  and  adopts  his  Graeco-Roman 
name,  Paul.  At  the  same  time  he  takes  the  leading 
place,  and  appeals  directly  to  the  Graeco -Roman 
world  as  Paul,  a citizen  of  the  Roman  Empire. 
The  power  granted  to  Paul  in  his  conflict  with 
Elymas  may  be  regarded  as  a token  of  the  divine 
approval  of  this  second  step  in  the  admission 
of  the  Gentiles.  Setting  sail  from  Paphos,  and 
landing  probably  at  Attalia,  the  apostles  came  to 
Perga,  a large  town  in  the  low-lying  coast

district  of  the  province  of  Pamphylia.  It  was 
famed  for  the  worship  of  Artemis;  and  there 
may  still  be  seen  the  remains  of  a large  theatre, 
a stadium,  temples,  gateways,  and  stately  colon- 
nades. Here  John  Mark  departed  from  them, 
and  returned  to  Jerusalem,  under  circumstances 
that  left  a lasting  impression  on  Paul’s  mind 
(Acts  15.  38);  and  here  perhaps  Paul  contracted 
the  malarial  fever,  which,  it  has  been  suggested, 
was  the  physical  infirmity  that  occasioned  his 
visit  to  Galatia  (Gal.  4. 13),  and  the  “ thorn  in  the 
flesh  ” (2  Cor.  12.  7)  that  frequentlv  tormented 
him.  Leaving  Perga,  they  crossed  the  range  of 
Mount  Taurus,  where  they  were  exposed  to 
“ perils  of  rivers,  perils  of  robbers,”  and  passing 
through  the  picturesque  lake  district  to  the 
north,  reachetl 

Antioch  in  Pisidla.  This  town,  charmingly 
situated  on  the  banks  of  the  Anthius  at  an  alti- 
tude of  about  3,500  feet,  was  at  once  a strong- 
fortress,  a Roman  colony,  and  the  military  and 
administrative  centre  of  a “region”  — the 
“Phrygian  region”  of  Galatia.  It  was  a centre 
of  Greek  culture  amidst,  the  untutored  Phry- 
gians and  Pisidians,  and  the  home  of  a large 
Jewish  population,  whose  ancestors  had  been 
transplanted  by  one  of  the  Seleucid  kings. 

On  a Sabbath  day,  soon  after  their  arrival,  the 
apostles  entered  the  synagogue;  and  on  being 
invited  to  speak,  Paul  addressed  the  congrega- 
tion with  emphatic  gesture.  His  address  made 
a deep  impression,  and  his  hearers  besought  him 
to  speak  again  on  the  following  Sabbath.  The 
synagogue  was  on  that  occasion  croM^ded  with 
Jews,  proselytes,  and  Gentiles.  The  presence  of 
the  last  roused  the  jealousy  of  the  Jews,  who  con- 
tradicted and  blasphemed  when  Paul  preached 
the  same  gospel  to  all.  The  apostles  at  once 
turned  to  the  Gentiles.  Many  believed,  and  the 
hrst  Gentile  congregation  separate  from  the 
.synagogue  was  established.  The  Jews,  making- 
use  of  the  influence  which  religious  women 
exercised  throughout  Asia  Minor,  and  winning 
over  the  chief  men  of  the  city,  excited  a perse- 
cution. Paul  and  Barnabas  were  expelled  bv  the 
magistrates  of  the  city,  and  travelled  as  far  as 
Misthia  along  the  “Royal  Road”  to  Lystra. 
They  then  crossed  the  hills  to 
Iconimn,  a busy  trading  city  on  the  great  road  I 


from  Ephesus  to  the  east.  The  town  was  almost 
surrounded  by  gardens  and  orchards,  and  it  lay 
well  out  on  the  great  treeless  plain  of  Asia  Minor, 
from  the  surface  of  which  the  distant  mountains 
seem  to  rise  like  islands  from  a summer  sea. 
Here,  as  at  Antioch,  the  preaching  of  the  apos- 
tles in  the  synagogue  was  at  first  successful,  and 
their  missionary  work  was  brought  to  a close  by 
the  machinations  of  the  Jews.  Paul  and  Barnabas, 
having  become  aware  of  a conspiracy  to  stone 
them,  fled  to  Lycaonia.  Their  way  for  about 
eleven  miles  lay  over  the  level  plain,  and  then 
crossed  the  low  ridge  that  separated  the  Phrygian 
from  the  Lycaonian  “ region  ” of  Galatia,  to 
Lystra.  The  “ very  brilliant  colony  of  Lystra,” 
as  the  town  is  called  in  an  inscription,  -was  the 
most  easterly  of  the  fortresses  constructed  by 
Augustus  to  keep  the  wild  mountaineers  in  or- 
der. It  stood  on  an  isolated  hill  in  a fine  vallev, 
through  which  runs  a river,  and  before  it  was"a 
temple  of  Jupiter.  From  the  use  of  the  Lycao- 
nian language  (Acts  14.  11),  most  of  the  inhabit- 
ants appear  to  have  been  natives,  and  not  Roman 
colonists.  On  one  occasion  when  preaching  in 
the  city,  Paul  healed  a man  wlio  had  been  a 
cripple  from  his  birth,  and  the  su))erstitious 
people  at  once  cried  out  that  the  gods  had  come 
dowii  to  them.  Barnabas  was  identified  with 
Jupiter,  and  Paul  with  Mercury;  and  it  was 
with  difficulty  that  the  apostles^  prevented  the 
priests  'of  the  temple  from  doing  sacrifice  to 
them.  Not  long  afterwards  the  fickle  mob,  per- 
suaded by  Jews  from  Iconium,  stoned  Paul,  and 
dragged  his  body  out  of  the  city,  believing  him 
to  be  dead.  But  he  recovered,  and  was  able  on 
the  following  morning  to  commence  a journey 
of  about  twenty-seven  miles,  over  the  ])lain  to 

Derbe,  where  the  gospel  was  preached  with 
success.  Here,  having  reached  the  limits  of  the 
Roman  province,  the  apostles  turned  and  revis- 
ited Lystra,  Iconium,  and  Antioch.  On  their 
return  journey  they  apparently  refrained  from 
preaching,  and  devoted  themselves  to  the  or- 
ganization of  the  new  churches,  in  each  of  which 
they  appointed  elders.  Recrossing  the  moun- 
tains to  Perga,  where  on  this  occasion  they 
preached  the  gospel,  they  set  sail  from  the 
quaint  little  harbor  of 

Attalia,  and  reached  Syrian  Antioch  about 


Axi'ama. 


(From  a Fhotoijraph.) 


August  49  A.D.  Here,  after  reporting  to  the  a 
sembled  church  how  God  “ liad  opened  a door  < 
faith  unto  the  Gentiles,”  Paul  and  Barnabas  r( 
sumed  their  regular  duties. 

Conaeil  at  Jcrnmlcm.  Not  long  aft< 
their  return  a difficulty  arose,  in  consequence  < 
the  free  admission  of  the  Gentiles  to  the  churc 
without  compliance  with  the  Jewish  law.  Pete 
who  was  on  a visit  to  Antioch,  u.sed  to  eat  wit 
the  <■  entiles;  but  when  certain  persons  came  c 


a mission  from  James  (Acts  1.5.  24;  Gal.  2.  12), 
and  preached  that  circumcision  was  necessary 
for  salvation,  he  began  to  waver.  Paul,  anil 
Barnabas  after  slight  hesitation,  stood  firm,  and 
championed  the  cause  of  freedom.  Eventually, 
after  much  discussion,  the  church  decided  to 
send  Paul  and  Barnabas,  with  certain  others,  to 
Jerusalem,  to  consult  tlie  apostles  and  elders  on 
the  (luestion. 

The  delegates  followed  the  great  Roman  road

alone:  the  Syrian  coast  nntil  they  turned  inlaiul 
to  Jerusalem ; and  in  passing  through  Fhmnicia 
and  Samaria,  Paul  caused  great  ]oy  to  the  hieth- 
ren  hy  declaring  the  free  acceptance  of  Gentile 
converts.  On  reaching  J erusalem,  Paul  and  Bar- 
nabas were  received  at  a general  meeting  of  the 
church,  at  which  they  gave  an  account  of  theix 
work  amongst  the  Gentiles,  and  explained  the 
cause  of  their  mission.  The  Judaizmg  party  in 
the  church  having  stated  its  views,  the  whole 
matter  was  considered  at  a special  meeting  ot 
the  apostles  and  elders.  In  the  council,  Peter 
spoke  strongly  in  favor  of  fre^lom  foi  the  new 
converts;  and  after  Paul  and  Barnabas  had  ad- 
dressed the  council,  James,  as  president,  deliv- 
ered the  decision  that  no  heavier  burden  should 
he  imposed  on  Gentile  converts  than  abstention 
from  pollutions  of  idols,  fornication,  things 
strangled,  and  blood.  . 

This  decree  — a compromise  and  concession  to 
Jewish  prejudices  — was  embodied  in  a letter  to 
the  Gentile  converts  in  Antioch,  Syria,  and  Gili- 
cia;  and  Judas  Barsahas  and  Silas  were  sent  to 
Antioch  with  the  delegates,  to  confirm  its  terms 
hv  word  of  mouth.  The  letter  was  read  to  the 
assembled  church,  and  was  received  with  gen- 
eral satisfaction.  Judas  and  Silas  spent  some 
time  encouraging  the  brethren,  after  which 


Judas  returned  to  Jerusalem,  whilst  Silas  abode 
in  Antioch. 

SECOND  MISSIONARY  JOURNEY. 

After  some  days,  probably  in  the  spring  of 
50  A.D.,  Paul  proposed  to  Barnabas  that  they 
should  revisit  the  scene  of  their  previous  mis- 
sion; but  when  Barnabas  wished  to  take  Mark, 
Paul  refused,  as  Mark  had  withdrawn  from  thmn 
in  Pamphylia.  A sharp  contention  arose,  which 
ended  in  the  departure  of  Barnabas  and  Mark 
for  Cyprus,  and  in  Paul’s  taking  as  his  associate 
Silas,  a Jew  and  a Roman  citizen  (Acts  16.  37), 
whose  full  name  (Silvanus)  appears  in  the  super- 
scription of  the  Epistles  to  the  Thessalonians. 

After  leaving  Antioch,  Paul  and  Silas  must 
have  crossed  Mount  Amanus  by  the  pass  known 
as  the  “ Syrian  Gates  ” to  Alexandria  ad  Issnm, 
and  then  have  followed  the  great  Roman  road, 
that  led  across  the  battlefield  of  Issus  and  over 
the  rich  Cilician  plain  to  Adana,  and  possibly 
Tarsus.  Everywhere  as  they  passed  they  con- 
firmed the  churches ; but,  Cilicia  being  part  of  I 
the  province  of  Syria  and  under  Antioch,  they 
ilid  not  deliver  the  decree. 

Crossing  the  snow-capped  range  of  Taurus  by 
the  pass  of  the  “ Cilician  Gates,”  and  traveUing 


through  the  realm  of  Antiochus  (which,  not 
being  Roman  territory,  is  not  named),  they 
came  to  Derbe  and  Lystra.  At  the  last  place 
Paul  found  a disciple  named  Timothy,  the  son 
of  a Greek  and  a Jewess,  who  was  weD  known 
in  Lystra  and  Iconium;  and,  having  first  cir- 
cumcised him,  to  disarm  Jewish  prejudices,  took 
him  as  a companion.  Amongst  clmrches 
visited  during  the  journey  through  the  “Phry- 
gian region  ” of  Galatia  (Acts  16.  6),  and  to  which 
the  Jerusalem  decree  was  delivered,  were  no 
doubt  those  of  Iconium  and  Pisidian  Antioch. 
Beyond  the  last  place  they  crossed  the  frontier 
into  the  province  of  Asia;  but  being  forbidden 
of  the  Holy  Spirit  to  preach  there,  thev  travelled 
north,  through  the  “Phrygian  region  of  Asia^ 
with  the  intWion  of  entering  the  province  of 
Bithynia.  When,  however,  they  had  reached  a 
point  opposite  . 

Mysia,  and  were  attempting  to  enter  Bithynia, 
the  Spirit  of  Jesus  suffered  them  not.  They  then 


turned  Avestward  through  Mysia,  “ neglecting 
— i.e.  not  preaching  in  — it ; and,  travelling  dovm 
the  lovely  valley  of  the  Rhyndacus,  probably 
passed  through  Artemea,  the  town  of  the  god- 
dess Artemis,  on  their  way  to 

Troas.  Alexandria  Troas,  prettily  situated  on 
ground  that  rises  gently  from  the  ^gean,  was 
one  of  the  most  important  towns  of  the  province 
of  Asia;  and  its  port,  bordered  by  quays  and 
colonnades,  of  which  there  are  still  remains, 
was  a common  place  of  embarkation  for  Mace- 
donia. Here  apparently  Paul,  who  had  been  led 
onward  to  the  coast  against  his  original  inten- 
tion, first  met  Luke  (Acts  16.  10)  the  “belovea 
physician;  ” and  here  a man  of  Macedonia,  pei - 
haps  Luke,  appeared  in  a vision  saying.  Come 
over  and  help  us.”  The  invitation  was  at  once 
accepted;  and  embarking  at  Troas,  they  sailed 
with  a fair  wind  past  Tenedos  and  Imbros  to 
Sayynfhrace,  an  island  which  rises  abruptly, 
from  the  sea  to  a height  of  5,248  feet.  Here,  at

one  of  the  anchorages,  they  passed  the  night, 
and  the  next  day  they  sailed  past  Thasos  to 
Neapolis:  The  Naples  of  Macedonia  was  situ- 
ated on  a small  promontory  with  a harbor  on 
each  side,  and  from  it  a paved  military  road 
crossed  a ridge,  whence  the  traveller  looks  down 
upon  the  rich  plain  that  witnessed  the  defeat  of 
Brutus  and  Cassius,  and  the  end  of  the  Republic 
of  Rome.  On  the  banks  of  a stream  sixty-six 
feet  wide,  that  runs  through  the  plain,  was 
Philippi,  a Roman  colony  that  already  claimed 
the  dignity  and  title  of  “ First  ” city  of  the  dis- 
trict. Here,  at  a place  of  prayer  by  the  river 
side,  Paul  preached ; and  Lydia,  a God-fearing 
proselyte,  who  sold  the  purple-dyed  garments 
of  her  native  city,  Thyatira,  was  converted  and 
baptized.  A few  days  later,  Paul  cast  out  the 
divining  spirit  from  a slave-girl;  and  her 
owners,  seeing  their  prospect  of  further  gain 
one,  dragged  Paul  and  Silas  into  the  agora 
efore  the  ])raitors  of  the  city.  The  apostles 
were  accused  of  teaching  Jewish  customs  not 
lawful  to  the  Romans;  and,  being  condemned 
without  investigation,  were  beaten  by  the  lic- 
tors  and  cast  into  prison. 

About  midnight,  as  they  prayed  and  sang, 
there  was  an  earthquake,  which  shook  the 
walls,  threw  open  the  doors,  and  loosed  their 
bonds.  The  jailer,  who  was  responsible  for  the 
lives  of  his  prisoners,  thinking  that  thev  had 
escaped,  and  preferring  death  by  his  own  hands 
to  disgrace  and  a dishonorable  death,  was  about 
to  commit  suicide,  when  Paul  cried  out ; “ Do 
thyself  no  harm,  for  we  are  all  here.”  The  jailer 
then  took  Paul  and  Silas  to  his  own  house,  and 
having  heard  the  gospel,  accepted  it,  and  was 
baptized.  In  the  morning  the  praetors,  who  had 
no  power  to  condemn  Paul  to  be  hogged,  even 
after  trial,  sent  the  lictors  to  order  the  jailer  to 
release  the  apostles;  but  Paul,  proclaiming  him- 
self a Roman  citizen,  refused  to  leave  the  prison 
until  the  praetors  themselves  came  and  besought 
them  to  depart.  After  staying  awhile  in  Lydia’s 
house,  Paul  and  Silas,  apparently  leaving  Luke 
behind  them,  journeyed  over  the  plain  by  the 
Via  Egnatia  to 

Anipliipolis,  on  a bend  of  the  river  Strymon. 
Thence,  after  touching  the  coast,  they  followed 
the  same  road,  and  passed  through  Apollonia, 
on  their  way  across  the  neck  of  the  Chalcidic 
peninsula,  to 


altered  name  of  Salonika.  The  town  rose  np 
the  hillside  almost  in  the  form  of  a triangle  — 
Its  ba.se  resting  on  the  sea,  its  sides  hanked  by 
ravines,  and  its  highest  point  occuidod  by  the 
acropolis.  Situated  at  the  head  of  the  gulf, 
strongly  fortified,  with  easy  access  to  the  in- 
terior, and  a good  port,  it  was  a jilace  of  great 
commercial  imi)ort;ince,  and  it  soon  became  an 

91 


invaluable  centre  for  the  spread  of  the  gospel 
(1  Thes.  1.  8).  The  town  was  governed  by  a board 
of  magistrates,  who,  as  is  proved  by  inscrip- 
tions, bore  the  title  politarchs ; and  the  people 
were  chiefly  Macedonian  Greeks,  amongst  whom 
women  occupied  a much  more  influential  posi- 
tion than  they  did  in  Athens. 

Paul,  as  usual,  first  addressed  the  congrega- 
tion in  the  synagogue.  He  then  preached  to 
the  Gentiles;  and  his  missionary  work  lasted 
from  about  December  50  a.d.  to  May  51  a.d. 
During  this  period  he  worked  day  and  night  for 
his  living,  so  as  not  to  be  chargeable  to  the 
brethren,  and  received  supplies  for  his  needs 
from  the  Philippians  (Phil.  4.  15,  16).  Paul’s 
preaching  was  successful,  and  many  of  the  God- 
fearing proselytes,  the  Greeks,  and  the  leading 
women  believed.  His  success  roused  the  jeal- 
ousy of  the  unbelieving  Jews,  who  stirred  up 
the  uneducated  rabble,  and  there  was  a serious 
riot.  Jason  (with  whom  Paul  lodged)  and  others 
were  dragged  before  the  politarchs,  and  were 
accused  of  the  serious  crime  of  treason  against 
the  emperor.  The  politarchs  were  obliged  to 
take  action,  and  bound  over  the  accused  to  keep 
the  peace.  Paul  and  Silas  were  sent  away  bv 
night  to 

Berea,  a pleasant  town  on  the  eastern  slope  of 
the  Olympian  range,  with  running  streams  in 
every  street.  Here  the  preaching  to  both  Jews 
and  Greeks  was  successful ; but  Jews  from  Thes- 
salonica  having  stirred  up  the  people,  Paul  was 
sent  away  to  the  sea-coast,  possibly  to  Dium, 
whence  the  Berean  brethren  brought  him  by  sea 
to  the  Pirteus,  and  thence  to  Athens.  Silas  and 
Timothy  were  left  behind,  but  afterwards  re- 
joined him  at 

Athens,  then  a free  city  of  the  Roman  prov- 
ince of  Achaia.  Though  its  golden  period  had 
passed,  the  city  was  still  one  of  the  great  seats 
of  learning,  and  must  have  had  a peculiar  inter- 
est to  Paul,  himself  a student  of  the  great  uni- 
versity of  Tarsus.  The  agora,  with  its  painted 
porticoes  and  beautiful  statuary,  was  the  centre 
of  the  public  life  of  the  city.  On  every  side 
were  to  be  seen  the  temples,. the  statues,  and 
the  altars  of  the  gods  of  Greece,  and  high  above 
all  rose  the  acropolis,  crowned  by  the  matchless 
temple  of  the  virgin  goddess  Minerva. 

Paul  at  first  reasoned  in  the  synagogue,  and 
then,  in  Socratic  fashion,  discussed  moral  ques- 
tions in  the  agora  with  any  one  he  met.  Some  of 
the  Epicurean  and  Stoic 
philosophers,  Avho  had 
taken  part  in  the  discus- 
sions, brought  him  before 
the  council  of  Areopagus 
in  the  agora.  Here  Paul, 
standing  in  the  midst  of 
the  council,  addressed  the 
a.ssembled  people,  using 
as  his  text  an  inscrii)tion, 
“TO  THE  UNKNOWN 
( ; OD,”  which  he  had  seen 
on  one  of  the  altars.  His 
address  was  well  adapted 
to  his  audience;  but  when 
he  spoke  of  the  resurrec- 
tion of  the  dead,  he  was 
interrupted,  and  went  out 
from  among  them.  There 
were  few  converts  at 
Athens,  and  Paul  appears 
to  have  left  the  city  hur- 
riedly for 

Corinth,  the  busy  metro])()lis  of  the  ])rovince 
of  Achaia,  and  the  residence  of  the  i)roconsul. 
It  stood  on  a broad  terrace  beneath  its  citadel, 
the  Acrocorinthus,  a mass  of  rock,  much  larger 
than,  but  not  imlike  in  form  and  abruptness, 
that  of  Dumbarton.  At  the  edge  of  the  lower 
level  of  the  Isthmus  were  its  harbors,  Cen- 
chrea  (Acts  18.  18)  and  Lechaaum,  which  made

it  “ the  emporium  of  the  richest  trade  of  the 
East  and  the  West.”  At  Corinth,  Paul  lodged 
with  Aquila,  a Jew  from  the  Roman  province 
of  Pontus,  who,  with  his  wife  Priscilla,  had  left 
Rome  toward  the  end  of  the  year  50  a.d.,  when 
the  Jews  were  expelled  by  Claudius.  Whilst 
working  at  his  trade  of  tentmaking,  and  preach- 
ing in  the  synagogue  and  to  the  Greeks,  he  was 
rejoined  by  Silas  and  Timothy,  who  had  been 
sent  from  Athens  on  a mission  to  Macedonia. 

On  their  return,  “Paul,  constrained  by  the 
word,”  testified  that  Jesus  is  Christ;  but  when 
the  Jews  blasphemed,  he  withdrew  from  the 
synagogue  to  the  house  of  Justus,  a God-fear- 
ing proselyte,  a Latin,  and  a citizen  of  Corinth. 
Crispus,  a head  man  of  the  synagogue,  believed. 
Then  Paul  was  told  in  a vision  to  speak  boldly, 
and  he  continued  preaching  for  a year  and  six 
months,  during  which  time  he  wrote  the  Epistles 
to  the  Thessalonians.  But  when  Gallio  was  pro- 
consul,  the  Jews  brought  him  before  the  tribu- 
nal. The  question  was  one  that  concerned  only 
the  self-administering  community  of  the  Jews, 
and  Gallio,  who  shared  the  generous  views  of 
his  brother  Seneca,  the  famous  philosopher,  in 
regard  to  the  various  religions  in  the  provinces, 
dismissed  the  case. 

The  Greeks,  who  always  hated  the  Jews,  took 
advantage  of  the  occasion  to  beat  Sosthenes,  who 
had  replaced  Crispus  as  ruler  of  the  synagogue, 
and  probablv  taken  a leading  part  in  the  prose- 
cution. Of  this  summary  justice  Gallio  took  no 
notice.  Some  time  afterwards,  Paul,  having  in 


fulfilment  of  a vow  shorn  his  head  at  Cenchrea, 
the  eastern  port  of  Corinth,  sailed  for  Syria 
with  Aquila  and  Priscilla,  and  probably  Timo- 
thy. The  ship  called  at  Ephesus.  Here,  after 
making  a short  stay  and  preaching  in  the  syna- 

fogue,  Paul  left  his  companions,  and  continued 
is  voyage  to  Caesarea  in  Palestine. 

No  details  are  given  of  the  voyage  or  of  the 
land  journey  to  Jerusalem,  which  were  probably 
made  to  keep  the  Passover,  which,  in  53  a.d., 
fell  on  the  22nd  March.  After  saluting  the 
church  in  Jerusalem,  Paul  returned  to  Antioch, 
where  he  apparently  heard  of  the  results  that 
had  followed  the  preaching  of  the  Judaizing 
party  in  Galatia,  and  wrote  the  Epistle  to  the 
Galatians. 

After  Paul  left  Ephesus,  there  came  thither 
Apollos  (Apollonius)  an  eloquent  Jew  of  Alex- 
andria, well  read  in  the  Scriptures,  but  knowing 
only  the  baptism  of  John.  He  was  more  fully 
instructed  by  Aquila  and  Priscilla;  and,  pass- 
ing into  Achaia,  “watered”  what  Paul  had 
“ planted,”  proving  from  the  Old  Testament 
that  Jesus  is  Christ  (Acts  18.  26-28;  1 Cor.  3.  6). 

THIRD  MISSIONARY  JOURNEY. 

After  spending  some  time  at  Antioch,  Paul 
went  by  land  through  Cilicia,  and  passed  through 
the  “ Galatic  and  Phrygian  regions,”  confirming 
the  disciples.  His  route  probably  coincided  with 
that  of  his  second  journev  as  far  as  Pisidian  An- 
tioch, whence  he  followed  the  higher-lying  and

more  direct  road,  and  not  the  great  trade  route 
through  the  Lycus  and  Meander  valleys,  to 

Ephesus,  one  of  the  most  remarkable  cities  of 
antiquity.  Most  of  the  buildings  were  grouped 
on  or  near  an  isolated  hill.  Mount  Pion,  on  the 
western  slope  of  which,  facing  the  port  and  the 
sea,  was  the  great  theatre,  capable  of  seating 
24,500  persons.  On  the  plain,  about  a mile  dis- 
tant, was  the  celebrated  Temple  of  Diana,  cqn- 
taining  a statue  of  the  goddess  (which,  according 
to  tradition,  came  down  from  Jupiter),  and  con- 
nected with  the  Magnesian  Gate  of  the  city  by  a 
“ sacred  way,”  bordei’ed  by  tombs.  Ephesus,  as 
the  seat  of  government  of  the  rich  province  of 
Asia,  was  well  fitted  to  be  a centre  of  missionary 
enterprise. 

Here  Paul,  after  preaching  three  months  in  the 
synagogue,  taught  for  two  years  in  the  lecture- 
room  of  Tyrannus;  and  it  was  probably  during 
this  period  that  churches  were  established  at 
Colosse,  Laodicea,  Pergamos,  and  other  places, 
by  Timothv  and  others.  On  reaching  Ephesus, 


Paul  found  twelve  men  baptized  only  unto  John’s 
baptism.  He  persuaded  them  to  accept  re-bap- 
tism,  and  when  he  had  laid  his  hands  on  them, 
the  Holv  Ghost  came  upon  them. 

Ephesus  was  the  centre  of  all  the  naagical  prac- 
tices and  superstitions  of  Asia,  and  it  was  inevi- 
table that  Christianity  should  come  into  contact 
Mdth  and  eventually  triumph  over  them.  God 
wrought  special  miracles  by  Paul.  Sceva’s  seveii 
sons,  exorcising  in  the  name  of  Jesus,  the  evil 
spirit  wounded  two  of  them.  Thereupon  the 
practisers  of  magic,  being  in  great  fear,  publicly 
burnt  their  books  (the  Ephesia  Grammata), 
valued  at  fifty  thousand  pieces  of  silver.  Paul 
was  at  this  time  intending  to  visit  Macedonia, 
Achaia,  Jerusalem,  and  then  Rome,  and  sent 
Timothy  and  Erastus  to  Macedonia.  But  before 
he  started  himself,  the  opposition  to  the  new 
teaching,  which  had  become  serious  in  55  a.d. 
(1  Cor.  16.  9),  culminated  in  a serious  riot.

plying" the  Pilgrims,  who  came  from  all  parts  of

.(From  a Roman  coin.) 

Artemis  sitting  in  a niche  with  her  lions  beside 
her,  called  a meeting  of  the  guilds,  and  pointed 
out  that  Paul  by  his  teaching  was  endangering 
their  business,  as  well  as  the  worship  of  the 
go  ldess.  The  “ tradesmen  were  roused  — they 
rushed  forth  into  the  street;  a general  scene 
of  confusion  arose,  and  a common  impulse  car- 
ried the  excited  crowd  into  the  great  theatre.” 
There,  for  about  two  hours,  the  ignorant  crowd 
continued  shouting  their  invocations  of  “Great 
Artemis.”  Alexander,  perhaps  the  coppersmith 
who  afterwards  did  Paul  much  harm  (2  Tim.  4. 
14),  was  put  forward  to  speak;  but  when  it  was 
known  that  he  was  a Jew,  the  clamor  only  in- 
creased. 

The  crowd  was  dismissed  by  the  town-clerk, 
who  was  probably  the  most  important  official  in 
the  city;  and  his  speech  throws  light  on  the 
relations  in  which  the  early  church  stood  to  the 
empire.  Paul  was  in  much  danger  from  the  mob 
(2  Cor.  1.  8),  and  received  a timely  warning  not 
to  go  to  the  theatre  from  the  Asiarchs,  or  high- 
priests  of  Asia,  Avho  were  the  heads  of  the  impe- 
rial organization  of  the  province  in  the  worship 
of  “ Rome  and  the  emperors.”  Their  friendlv 
attitude  is  a proof 
that  the  official  and 
educated  cla.sses  did 
not  share  the  hos- 
tility of  the  crowd 
to  the  new  reli- 
gion. Paul  appears 
to  have  resiiled  at 
Ephesus  from  about 
October  53  a.d.  to 
January  56  a.d.,  and 
in  the  autumn  of  55 
A. I). he  wrote  the  first 
Epistle  to  the  Cor- 
inthians. It  is  prob  - 
able  that  Paul  visited 
Corinth  in  the  sjiring 
of  55  A.D.  (2  (’or.  12. 

14 ; 13. 1, 2),  and  wrote 
a letter  to  the  Cor- 
inthians which  has 
been  lost  (1  (.’or.  5.  9). 

Paul  was  obliged 
to  leave  Ephesus, 
and  sailed  along  the  coast  to  Troas,  where  he 
had  to  trans-ship.  Here  a door  of  preaching  was 
opened  to  him;  but  he  was  disappointed  in  not 
meeting  Titus  (2  (’or.  2.  12,  13),  and  pressed  on- 
ward to  Macedonia.  At  Philippi  he  met  Titus, 


and  was  greatly  rejoiced  at  his  report  on  the  state 
of  the  church  in  Corinth  (2  Cor.  7. 4, 13).  He  passed 
the  summer  and  autumn  of  56  a.d.  in  Macedonia, 
and  during  that  time  wrote  the  Second  Epistle 
to  the  Corinthians,  and  perhaps  made  a short 
excursion  to  Illyricum  (Rom.  15.  19).  In  the 
winter  he  went  to  Hellas,  the  larger  portion  of 
the  province  of  Achaia,  and  passed  December, 
January,  and  February  at  Corinth,  where  he  was 
joined  by  Luke,  and  wrote  the  Epistle  to  the 
Romans.  He  intended  sailing  from  this  place  to 
Palestine,  to  celebrate  the  Passover  at  Jerusa- 
lem. But  he  altered  his  plans  on  discovering  a 
plot  to  kill  him,  and  travelled  through  Mace- 
donia to  Philippi.  He  sailed  from  Neapolis  on 
the  15th  April  57  a.d.,  and  reached 
Troas  five  days  later.  Here  he  met  the  dele- 
gates who  had  preceded  him  carrying  contribu- 
tions for  the  brethren  at  Jerusalem.  On  Sunday 
the  24th,  the  brethren  met  for  the  Agape,  or 
“ Love-feast,”  and  whilst  Paul  was  preaching 
near  midnight,  Eutychus,  overcome  by  sleep,  fell 
from  the  third  story,  and  was  taken  up  dead. 
He  was  restored  to  life  by  Paul,  who,  after  going 
upstairs  again  and  breaking  bread,  conversed 
till  daybreak.  He  then  left  on  foot  for 
Assos,  a picturesque  town  on  a crag  which  rises 
abruptly  from  the  sea,  and  was  once  crowned 
by  a temple  of  Athene.  Entering  by  the  Sacred 
Way,  and  descending  the  steep  street  to  the 
little  port,  Paul  embarked  on  a ship  that  had 
brought  his  companions  round  Cape  Lectum 
from  Troas.  The  ship,  according  to  custom, 
stopped  every  evening  when  the  breeze  died  out. 
The  first  day  they  reached 
Mitijlene,  the  chief  town  of  the  “noble  and 
pleasant  island”  of  Lesbos;  and  the  next  they 
crossed  the  mouth  of  the  Gulf  of  Smyrna  to  a 
point  on  the  mainland  opposite  Chios,  the  rich- 
est island  of  the  .^Egean.  The  following  morning 
they  ran  across  to  Samos,  and,  after  passing  the 
night  under  the  lee  of  the  promontory  of  Trogyl- 
lium,  reached 

Miletus,  which  had  not  then  quite  lost  its 
ancient  prosperity.  Here  he  summoned  the 
Ephesian  elders  to  meet  him,  and  in  a pathetic 
address  bade  them  farewell:  “Ye  all  shall  see 
my  face  no  more.”  From  Miletus  they  ran 
across  to  Cos;  they  then  sailed  past  Cnidos  to 
Rhodes,  and  the  following  day  reached  Patara, 
where,  according  to  the  A.V.,  they  trans-shipiied. 
There  is,  however,  reason  to  suppose  that  they 
continued  to  sail  along  the  coast  as  far  as 
Myra,  the  great  port  for  the  direct  cross-sea 


Tyre.  Mark  7.  24. 

traffic.  There  they  struck  across  the  open  sea, 
with  a steady  westerly  breeze,  and  passing  south 
of  Cyprus,  reached 

Tijre,  the  famous  fortified  seaport  of  the  Phoe- 
nicians. Here  the  ship  stopped  seven  days  to

unload,  and  Paul  was  warned  by  the  brethren, 
throug;h  the  Spirit,  not  to  go  to  Jerusalem. 
After  a kindly  farewell,  kneeling  down  in  prayer 
on  the  shore,  they  continued  the  voyage  to 


Ptolemais,  which  under  the  name  of  Acre  was 
afterwards  to  become  famous  in  history.  Here 
they  landed,  and  the  next  day  went  on  to 

Ccesarea,  the  magnificent  city  built  by  Herod

the  Great  on  the  site  of  Strato’s  Tower.  It  was 
on  the  coast  of  Palestine,  between  Carmel  and 
Jaffa,  and  had  a fine  artificial  harbor,  of  which 
the  outline  is  still  visible.  Here  Paul  and  his 
companions  staved  in  the  house  of  Philii)  the 
evangelist,  whose  daughters  prophesied;  and 
here  Agabus,  binding  his  feet  and  hands  with 
Paul’s  girdle,  foretold  that  the  Jews  would  so 
bind  its  owner,  and  deliver  him  to  the  Gentiles. 
Resisting  the  persuasion  of  the  brethren,  Paul, 
“ ready  not  to  be  bound  only,  but  to  die  for  the 
name  of  the  Lord  .Tesus,”  went  up  to 
Jerusalem,  travelling  no  doubt  by  the  usual 
road  through  Antipatris.  He  and  the  delegates 
were  welcomed  on  their  arrival  by  the  brethren, 
and  on  the  following  dav  thev  were  formally  re- 
ceived by  James  and  the  elders.  Paul  gave  a 
<letailed  account  of  his  missionary  labors  since 
he  had  last  visited  Jerusalem.  Most  of  those 
present  were  well  pleased  with  his  address;  but 
the  Judaizing  partv  were  strong,  and  they  ad- 
vised Paul  to  take  charge  of  four  Jewish  Chris- 
tians who  were  under  a vow,  purify  himself  with 
them  in  the  Temple,  and  pay  their  expenses. 
The  next  day  Paul  went  with  the  Nazarites  into 
the  Temple,  and  remained  there  until  an  ofCering 


sisted,  like  other  temples  of  that  age,  of  a temc- 
nos,  or  sacred  enclosure,  in  which  was  the  naos, 
or  holy  house,  constituting,  with  its  surrounding 
courts  and  cloisters,  the  Hleron  or  Temple.  The 
sacred  enclosure  was  buttressed  by  a wall,  in 
places  170  feet  high,  which,  even  in  its  ruined 
state,  is  a magnificent  specimen  of  mural  ma- 
sonry. The  Temple  was  surrounded  by  cloisters 
of  great  magnificence,  built  by  Herod  — the  one 
on  the  south  being  a building  longer  and  higher 
than  York  Minster.  Within  the  cloisters  was  a 
stone  balustrade,  which  strang&i’s  were  forbid- 
den to  pass  under  pain  of  death.  To  the  north 
of  the  Temple,  and  within  the  temenos  Avail,  was 
the  (’astle  of  Antonia,  also  built  by  Herod,  in 
which  the  Roman  garrison  was  quartered.  The 
castle  commanded  the  Temple,  and  was  con- 
nected with  it  by  cloisters. 

Certain  Asiatic  Jews,  finding  Paul  in  the  Tem- 
ple, stirred  up  the  people  against  him,  alleging 
that  he  had  brought  Greeks  into  the  Temple 
(meaning  Trophimus,  whom  they  had  seen  with 
him  in  the  city).  An  infuriated  crowd  rushed 
on  the  apostle*,,  and  dragged  him  outside  the 
balustrade.  The  Levites  at  once  shut  the  gates, 
and  Paul  wouhl  haym  been  killed,  had  not  Clau-

The  inscription  in  Greek  is  as  follows  : — “ No  stranger  is  to  en-

down  from  the  Antonia  Avith  some  officers  and 
men,  and  saved  him.  As  the  soldiers  were  con- 
ducting him  to  the  castle,  he  explained  to 
T Lysias  in  Greek  that  he  was  a Jew  of  Tarsus, 

. Vi  and  not  the  Egyptian  leader  of  the  Sicarii 
(murderers).  He  asked  for  and  obtained 
leave  to  address  the  people;  and,  standing 
on  the  steps  that  led  up  to  the  castle,  se- 
cured silence  by  speaking  in  HebreAv.  The 
crowd  listened  attentively  until  he  spoke  of 
his  mission  to  the  Gentiles,  AAffien  frantic 
shouts  arose,  and  his  hearers  in  their  rage 
threw  off  their  garments  and  cast  dust  into 
the  air. 

Lysias  now  ordered  Paul  to  be  brought 
into  the  castle  and  examined  by  torture; 
but  Avhen  he  heard  that  the  apostle  was  a 
Roman  citizen,  he  countermanded  the  ex- 
amination. The  next  day  Lysias,  having 
called  a meeting  of  the  Sanhedrin,  brought 
Paul  down  to  the  Council  House,  near  one 
of  the  approaches  to  the  Temple,  and  set 
him  before  them.  Paul  adroitly  enlisted 
the  sympathies  of  those  of  his  judges  who 
were 'Pharisees  by  crying  out : “ I am  a Phar- 
isee, a son  of  Pharisees:  touching  the  hope 
and  resurrection  of  the  dead  I am  called  in 
lestion.” 

A dissension  at  once  arose  between  the 


94 


Paul 


BIBLE  DICTIONARY. 


Paul 


Pharisees  and  the  Sadducees  in  the  council,  and 
the  uproar  became  so  great  that  Lysias  sent  sol- 
diers down  to  bring  Paul  up  again  to  the  Antonia. 
The  following  day,  Paul’s  nephew  having  dis- 
closed a conspiracy  of  the  Jews  to  murder  his 
uncle,  Lysias  sent  his  prisoner,  with  an  explana- 
tory letter,  to  Felix,  the  procurator  of  J udaea,  who 
resided  at  Caisarea.  A strong  escort  of  horse 
and  foot  took  Paul  by  night  along  the  Roman 
road  through  Gophna  to  Antipatris,  near  the 
point  where  the  road  leaves  the  hills.  Thence 
the  infantry  returned  to  Jerusalem,  whilst  the 
horsemen  pushed  rapidly  across  the  maritime 
plain  to 

CcBsarea.  Felix,  hearing  that  Paul  was  a Cili- 
cian,  ordered  him  to  be  kept  in  Herod’s  prseto- 
rium.  Five  days  later  Ananias  arrived  with  some 
members  of  the  Sanhedrin,  anti  an  advocate,  who 
from  his  name,  Tertullus,  was  a Roman  citizen, 
practising  in  the  provincial  law  courts.  At  the 
trial  before  Felix,  Tertullus  brought  forward  the 
charges  in  a set  speech,  and  accused  Paul  of 
being  a ringleader  of  the  Nazarenes  and  a pro- 
faner  of  the  Temple.  Paul  made  a courteous 
reply,  refuting  Tertullus  step  by  step,  and  was 
remanded  by  the  governor,  who,  from  his  long- 
residence  in  Palestine,  must  have  had  some 
knowledge  of  the  Christian  religion.  Paul  was 
placed  in  charge  of  a centurion,  and  his  friends 
were  allowed  to  visit  him. 

Some  few  days  later,  Felix,  who,  according  to 
Tacitus,  “ exercised  the  authority  of  a king  with 
the  disposition  of  a slave,  wdth  all  cruelty  and 
lust,”  and  his  wife  Drusilla,  sister  of  Herod 
Agrippa  II.  (who  had  left  her  first  husband, 
Aziz,  king  of  Emesa),  sent  for  Paul.  But  when 
the  apostle  “ reasoned  of  righteousness,  temper- 
ance, and  judgment  to  come,”  the  Roman  liber- 
tine was  terrified,  and  dismissed  him  abruptly. 
Felix  afterwards  often  sent  for  Paul,  hoping  to 
obtain  a bribe  for  his  release ; but  failing  in  this, 
kept  him  in  prison  for  two  years,  until  his  suc- 
cessor, Porcius  Festus,  arrived. 

The  new  governor,  on  reaching  Jerusalem,  was 
asked  to  send  Paul  to  the  city  for  trial,  the  Jews 
intending  to  kill  him  on  his  way.  But  Festus 
decided  to  hold  an  inquiry  at  Caesarea,  and  as  a 
result  Paul  claimed  his  right  as  a Roman  citizen 
to  be  tried  by  the  supreme  tribunal  of  the  em- 
peror at  Rome.  When  after  some  days  Herod 
Agrippa  II.,  king  of  Chalcis,  wdth  his  sister  Ber- 
nice, arrived  at  Caesarea,  Festus  consulted  him 
with  regard  to  Paul,  and,  Agrippa  having  ex- 
pressed a wish  to  hear  the  apostle,  fixed  an  in- 
terview for  the  next  day.  Agrippa  and  Bernice 
having  entered  the  audience-chamber  with  great 
pomp,  Paul  was  brought  in,  and  gave  a narrative 
of  his  conversion,  and  alluded  to  the  proi)hets, 
Moses,  and  the  doctrine  of  the  resurrection.  In 
the  midst  of  his  discourse  he  was  interrupted  by 
Festus  with  an  ironical  remark ; but  he  appealed 
to  Agrippa,  who  replied,  “With  but  little  per- 


suasion thou  wouldst  fain  make  me  a Chris- 
tian.” 

After  retiring  and  discussing  the  case,  Agrippa 
and  Festus  came  to  the  conclusion  that  Paul 
might  have  been  released  if  he  had  not  appealed 
unto  Ca3  sar.  But  the  appeal  had  been  made : and 
at  the  first  opportunity  Paul  was  sent  with  other 
prisoners  to  Rome,  in  charge  of  a centurion  of  the 
Augustan  cohort,  or  “ Officer-Courier  Corps.” 
He  was  accompanied  by  Luke  and  Aristarchus, 
who,  in  order  to  obtain  permission,  probably 
passed  as  his  slaves;  and  he  was  treated  as  a 
man  of  distinction  and  a Roman  citizen. 

The  Voyaye.  — They  embarked  in  an  Adramyt- 
tian  ship  engaged  in  the  coasting  trade,  and  after 
touching  at  Sidon,  where  Paul  was  allowed  to 
visit  his  friends,  they  sailed  under  the  lee  of 
Cyprus,  and  crossed  to  Myra.  Here  they  trans- 
shipped into  one  of  the  large  ships  that' carried 
corn  from  Alexandria  to  Rome.  After  sailing 
slowly  along  the  coast  for  many  days,  on  account 
of  light,  baffling  winds,  they  came  opi)osite  Cni- 
dus, and  not  being  able  to  hold  on  the  usual 
course  to  the  south  point  of  the  Morea,  as  the 
wind  was  blowing  from  the  west  or  north-west, 
they  ran  for  Crete.  After  rounding  Cape  Sal- 
mone,  the  eastern  point  of  the  island,  they 
worked  their  way  with  difficulty  along  the  south 
coast  to 

Fair  Havens,  a roadstead,  not  far  from  Lasea, 
which  still  retains  its  ancient  name.  At  this 
place,  the  nearest  shelter  east  of  Cape  Matala, 
they  remained  until  the  Fast  of  Expiation  (which 
in  59  A.D.  fell  on  the  5th  October)  had  passed. 
The  dangerous  season  for  navigation  had  now 
commenced,  and  it  became  a question  whether 
they  should  winter  at  Fair  Havens  or  seek  a 
better  harbor.  Paul  strongly  advised  them  to 
remain;  but  the  centurion  was  guided  by  the 
sailing-master  and  the  captain  of  the  ship,  and 
selected  Phenice.  When  a light  southerly  breeze 
sprang  up,  they  set  sail ; but  the  ship  had  barely 
roundefl  Cape  Matala  when  it  -w^as  caught  in  a 
typhonic  wind,  called  Euroclydon  (Acts  27.  14), 
which  struck  down  from  the  Cretan  mountains 
that  towered  above  them  to  a height  of  7,000  feet. 

The  ship  was  obliged  to  run  before  the  wind 
(ENE.) ; and  when  she  came  into  smoother  water, 
under  the  lee  of  Clauda,  the  crew  with  difficulty 
hoisted  in  the  boat,  and  passed  ropes  round  the 
ship’s  frame  to  hold  her  straining  timbers  to- 
gether. At  the  same  time,  fearing  lest  they 
should  be  driven  into  the  Syrtis,  or 

Great  Quicksands  ” they  brought  the  ship’s 
head  as  near  as  possible  to  the  wind,  and  lay-to 
under  sufficient  canvas  to  keep  her  steady.  In 
this  condition  the  ship  drifted  through 

Adria,  the  sea  that  lies  between  Malta,  Italy, 
Greece,  and  Crete.  On  the  first  day  the  freight 
was  thrown  overboard,  and  on  the  second  the 
crew  and  I'.assengei's  joined  in  throwing  the 
spare  gear  into  the  sea.  Then  followed  days  of

anxiety,  during  which  all  hope  of  being  saved 
was  abandoned;  but  they  were  sustained  by  the 
cheering  courage  of  Paul,  who  had  been  promised 
in  a vision  that  all  should  be  saved. 

On  the  fourteenth  night,  after  drifting  about 
476  miles,  the  seamen,  hearing  probably  the 
breakers  on  a low  rocky  point  of  Malta  called 
KHra,  suspected  they  were  nearing  land.  They 
sounded,  and  finding  the  water  shoaling,  let  go 
four  anchors  by  the  stern.  Day  was  anxiously 
awaited,  and  when  it  broke  they  lightened  the 
ship  by  throwing  the  wheat  into  the  sea.  They 
then  ran  her  aground  at- a spot  which  has  been 
reasonably  identified  with  a neck  of  land  pro- 
iecting  towards  the  island  of  Salmonetta,  which 
shelters  St.  Paul’s  Bay  on  the  north-west. 

Malta.  . All  escaped  safe  to  land,  and  were 
treated  with  great  kindness  by  the  “ barbari- 
ans”—i.e.  by  the  people  of  non-Greek  birth  — 
who  lived  on  the  island.  Paul,  whilst  laying  a 
bundle  of  sticks  on  the  fire,  was  bitten  by  a viper, 
but  was  unhurt,'  and  was  therefore  taken  by  the 


people  to  be  a god.  He  rewarded  Publius  the 
chief  man’s  hospitality  by  healing  his  father  of  a 
fever,  and  cured  all  who  had  diseases.  In  Febru- 
ary 60  A.D.,  after  three  months’  stay,  they  sailed 
for  Rome  in  a ship  called  The  Twin  Brothers  — 
i.e.  the  Castor  and  Pollux.  The  ship  put  into  the 
lovely  land-locked  harbour  of 

Syracuse,  and  here  they  remained  three  days. 
Possibly  Paul  landed  and  preached,  for  tradition 
regards  him  as  the  founder  of  the  Sicilian  church. 
They  then  beat  up  to  Rhegium,  and,  waiting  one 
day “^f or  a south  wind  to  carry  them  through  the 
straits,  ran  before  the  wind  to 
Futeoli,  on  the  northern  shore  of  the  bay  of 
Naples.  This  place  was  an  important  trading 
city  of  the  time,  with  a great  harbour,  extensive 
docks,  and  a long  mole,  of  which  there  are  still 
remains.  Christianity  had  already  established 
itself  at  this  busy  port,  and  Paul  remained  seven 
days  with  the  brethren.  They  then  travelled 
along  the  ^

capital,  and  crossing  (Acts  28.  14)  the  boundary 
of  the  territory  of  Rome  {ayer  Bomanus),  reached 
the  market  of 

Appius  {Appii  Forum).  There,  and  at  The 
Three  Taverns  further  on,  Paul  was  encouraged 
by  meeting  brethren  who  had  come  to  welcome 
him  from 

Rome.  The  party  entered  the  city  by  the  Porta 
Capena,  and  the  centurion  at  once  handed  his 
prisoners  over  to  the  stratopedarch,  or  “ chief  of 
the  camp  ” of  soldiers  from  abroad,  who  were  en- 
camped on  the  Coelian  Hill.  Paul  was  treated 
with  great  leniency,  and  was  allowed  to  live  in 
his  own  hired  house,  his  wrist  fastened  by  a light 
chain  to  that  of  the  soldier  who  guarded  him. 
Here  he  remained  for  two  years,  “ preaching  the 
kingdom  of  God,  and  teaching  the  things  con- 
cerning the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  with  all  bold- 
ness;” and  here,  probably  in  the  early  part  of 
61  A.D.,  he  wrote  the  Epistles  to  Philemon,  the 
Colossians,  and  the  Ephesians. 

Towards  the  close  of  61  a.d.  he  was  tried,  and 


there  was  some  prospect  of  acquittal  when  he 
wrote  to  the  Philippians  (2.  24).  Before  Paul 
reached  Rome,  some  of  Caesar’s  household  had 
been  converted ; and  it  is  supposed  by  Lightf oot 
that  some  of  the  slaves  of  Aristobulus  (son  of 
Herod  the  Great)  and  of  Narcissus  (Claudiiis’ 
favorite  freedman)  had  passed  into  the  imperial 
household,  and  were  saluted  by  the  apostle  as 
Christians  (Rom.  16.  10, 11). 

During  the  early  part  of  Nero’s  reign,  Seneca, 
his  old  tutor,  exercised  great  influence,  and  the 
liberal  policy  of  the  empire  with  regard  to  re- 
ligion was  probably  largely  due  to  his  broad 
views.  This  policy  possibly  had  some  influence 
on  the  trial  which  ended  in  the  acquittal  of  Paul. 
He  was  found  innocent  in  the  eyes  of  the  Roman 
imperial  law,  and  his  acquittal  was  equivalent  to 
a formal  decision  by  the  supreme  court  of  the 
empire  that  it  was  permissible  to  preach  Christi- 
anity. „ , 

After  his  liberation,  Paul  probably  travelled 
through  Macedonia  to  Philippi  (Phil.  2.  24),  and

thence  via  Troas  to  Ephesus,  from  which  place 
he  may  have  visited  the  churches  at  Colossae, 
Laodicea,  Pergamum,  etc.  (Philem.  22).  Possibly 
he  may  then  have  gone  to  Spain,  and  after  his  re- 
turn have  visited  Macedonia  fl  Tim.  1.  3),  whence 
he  wrote  the  First  Epistle  to  Timothy,  to  whom 
he  had  committed  the  care  of  the  Ephesian 
church.  Shortly  afterwards  he  returned  to  Eph- 
esus, and  went  to  Crete  (Tit.  1. 5)  with  Titus,Avhom 
he  left  in  charge  of  the  Cretan  church.  Return- 


ing again  to  Ephesus,  he  wrote  the  Epistle  to 
Titus,  expressing  his  intention  to  winter  at 
Nicopohs  (Tit.  3.  12).  On  leaving  Ephesus  he 
went  to  Miletus,  where  Trophimus  became  too 
ill  to  proceed;  and  thence  to  Corinth,  where 
Erastus  remained  (2  Tim.  4.  20).  He  may  possibly 
have  passed  the  winter  at  Nicopolis  — a town 
founded  by  Augustus  in  memory  of  the  victory 
of  Actium  — and  have  been  there  arrested,  prob- 
ably in  66  A. I).,  and  again  sent  to 


The  Roman  Forum.  (^From  a Photograph.) 

The  site  of  the  Mamertine  pnson  in  which  Paul  was  prohahl}'  imprisoned  is  under  the  church  on  the  extreme 

riglit  of  tlie  picture. 


Itonu\  The  second  trial  followed,  with  all  its 
gloomy  surroundings.  After  the  disgrace  of 
Seneca,  the  spirit  which  animated  the  adminis- 
tration changed.  Paul’s  confinement  was  more 
rigorous : he  was  treated  as  a malefactor  (2  Tim. 
2.  9);  his  friends  could  visit  him  Avith  dilficulty 
(2  Tim.  1.  16);  and  at  his  first  hearing  “ no  man 
stood  by”  him,  “but  all  forsook”  him.  Never- 
theless he  spoke  with  his  usual  boldness,  and  for 
the  moment  “ was  delivered  out  of  the  lion’s 
mouth.” 

It  has  been  plausibly  conjectured  that  the  first 
charge  against  which  he  successfully  defended 
himself  was  complicity  with  the  incendiaries 
who  burned  Rome  in  64  a.d.  ; and  the  defection 
of  his  friends  may  have  been  due  to  the  <lismay 
caused  by  the  barbarous  persecfition  of  the 
Christians  that  followed  the  contlagration.  Paul 
was  remanded  to  prison;  but  he  has  no  hope  of 
acquittal,  and  looks  forward  with  calmness  to 
the  end.  “ I am  already  being  offered,  and  the 
time  of  my  departure  is'come.” 

When  he  wrote  his  last  i)athetic  Ei^istle  to 
Timothy,  Luke  was  the  only  one  of  his  com- 
panions who  Temained  with  him.  He  did  not 
expect  the  final  sentence  to  be  passed  until  the 
following  winter  (2  Tim.  4.  21);  but  we  do  not 
know  whether  Timothy  was  able  to  join  him 
before  his  death,  or  what  Avas  the  date  of  his 
martyrdom.  According  to  tradition,  he  suffered 
in  the  reign  of  Nero,  possibly  in  68  a.d.,  and  was 
beheaded  with  the  sword,  “without  the  gate,” 
on  the  road  to  Ostia,  not  far  from  the  church 
which  bears  his  name. 

PEARLS  [pearls],  found  in  the  pearl-oyster  in 
the  Red  Sea  and  Indian  Ocean,  are  not  men- 
tioned in  the  Old  Testament  ; for  “ pearls  ” in 
Job  28.  18  read  “crystal”  {R.V.).  In  the  New 
Testament  they  are  frequently  referred  to  (Mat. 
7.  6;  13.  4.5,  etc.). 


PENTATEUCH  [])en'ta-teueh]  (Or.  “ five 
books  ”),  the  five  books  of  Moses  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment. The  Jews  named  these,  from  their  chief 
contents,  Torah  (“LaAv”);  and  the  Greek  trans- 
lators gave  each  book  its  distinctiA'e  title ; hence 
the  names  in  our  Bible : Genesis  (“  origin,”  i.e.  of 
the  world  and  of  men) ; Exodus  (“  departure,”  i.e. 
of  the  Israelites  Horn  Egypt) ; Leviticus  (the  book 
of  the  law  of  the  priests);  Numbers  (from  the 
numberings  of  the  people  related  in  it);  Deuter- 
onomy (“  second  Luav  ”).  The  authorshii>  of  the 
Pentateuch  has  been  the  subject  of  much  con- 
troversy. Moses  occupies  so  i)rominent  a posi- 
tion in  the  history  of  these  books,  and  it  is  so 
expressly  mentioned  in  several  i)laces  that  he 
wrote  the  Law  at  the  Divine  command,  that 
as  the  terms  Law  and  Pentateuch  came  to  be 
synonymous,  the  whole  of  these  books  came  to 
be  regarded  as  his  composition,  and  to  deny  this 
was  regarded  as  tantamount  to  a denial  of  his 
legislatiA'e  Avork.  It  is,  hOAvever,  important  to 
i distinguish  between  the  position  of  Moses  in 
history  and  the  literary  process  through  which 
the  LaAv-books  may  have  come  into  their  i)resent 
form,  and,  in  general,  not  to  assume  on  this  sub- 
ject more  than  the  books  themselves  state  or 
Avarrant.  It  is  nowhere  stated  in  Scrii)ture  that 
Moses  Avrote  the  whole  of  the  Pentateuch.  The 
books,  indeed,  in  many  literary  features  resem- 
ble the  succeeding  historical  books,  whi(!h  are 
composed  of  different  materials.  At  the  same 
time,  the  unique  position  of  Moses  at  the  head 
of  the  i)eople,  the  distinct  and  reiterated  state- 
ments that  he  Avas  a Avriter  as  well  as  a leader, 
and  the  unvarying  association  of  his  name  with 
the  Law,  are  sufficient  justification  for  calling 
the  Pentateuch  the  books  of  Moses. 

Many  modern  (U’itics  class  the  first  .s/*  books 
of  the  Old  Testament  together,  calling  them  the 
Hexateuch  (Or.  “ six  books  ”),  and  hold  that  the

Philemon 


first  four  books  and  Joshua  are  divisible  into 
two  main  parts  : — 

I.  A great  book  of  law  and  history,  including 
the  whole  framev/ork  of  the  Pentateuch,  and  the 
chief  threads  of  its  narrative.  Such  passages  as 
Ex  25-40 ; Lev.  1-1(>  (or  26) ; Num.  1-10,  28,  etc., 
are  supposed  to  belong  to  this  writing,  M'hich 
uses  the  name  Elohitu  for  God,  describes  the 
tabernacle,  the  priesthood,  sacrifices,  and  festi- 
vals is  supposed  to  have  been  written  between 
the  time  of  David  and  the  Exile,  and  is  com- 
monly called  the  “ Priestly  Code.” 

II.  The  remaining  part  of  the  laws  and  narra- 
tive’, consisting  of  several  layers,  mainly  two,  of 
which  one  is  almost  entirely  narrative,  uses  the 
name  Jehovah,  and  is  therefore  distinguished  as 
the  “Jehovist;  ” while  the  other  uses  the  name 
Elohim  (God), and  its  author  is  distinguished  as 
the  “ Elohist.”  These  are  both  supposed  to  be- 
long to  the  period  between  Elijah  and  80Q  b.c. 

Within  both  of  these  main  parts  (I.  and  II.) 
thev  find  another  document ; — 

III.  The  “Book  of  the  Covenant”  (Ex.  20-23), 
including  the  ten  commandments  and  the  earliest 
laws  annexed  thereto,  which,  we  are  told,  were 
written  in  a book  by  Moses.  This  is  regarded 
as  the  original  Law-book  of  Moses. 

IV.  Deuteronomy  (‘.‘second  Law”)  they  con- 
sider to  be  a repetition  of  the  earlier  legislation 
with  numerous  additions,  written,  some  think, 
long  before,  others  shortly  before,  its  discovery 
in  the  reign  of  Josiah. 

Even  in  this  view  of  the  Pentateuch,  Moses  is 
regarded  as  not  only  the  oral  lawgiver  of  a great 
body  of  laws,  but  as  the  writer  of  its  most  im- 
nortant  part. 

‘ PENTECOST  [pen’te-eost].  [See  Feasts.] 
PERGAMOS  [per  ga-mos]  PERGAMMUM  (Rev. 

2 12-17),  a town  of  Asia  Minor,  in  the  valley  of  the 
Caicus.  Near  the  top  of  its  acropolis  hill,  1,000  i 
feet  above  the  valley,  are  the  ruins  of  the  temple 
of  Rome  and  Augustus,  which  Ramsay  identi- 
fies with  the  “ throne  of  Satan  ” [Rev.  2.  13). 

PERIZZITES  [per'iz-zites]  the  “ villagers  ” or 
agricultural  population  of  Canaan,  correspond- 
ing to  the  modern  fellahtn. 

PERSIANS  [per'slans].  The  Persians  were 
originally  a Median  tribe  which  settled  in  Persia, 
on  the  eastern  side  of  the  Persian  Gulf.  They 
were  Aryans,  their  language  belonging  to  the 
eastern  division  of  the  Indo-European  group. 
One  of  their  chiefs,  Teispes,  conquered  Elam  in 
the  time  of  the  decay  of  the  Assyrian  Empire, 
and  established  himself  in  the  district  of  Anzan. 
His  descendants  branched  off  into  two  lines  — 
one  line  ruling  in  Anzan,  while  the  other  re- 
mained in  Persia.  Cyrus  II.,  king  of  Anzan, 
finally  united  the  divided  power,  conquered 
Media,  Lydia,  and  Babvlonia,  and  carried  his 
arms  into  the  far  East.  His  son,  Cambyses, 
added  Egypt  to  the  empire,  which,  however,  fell 
to  pieces  after  his  death.  It  was  reconquered 
and  thoroughly  organized  by  Darius,  son  of  Hys- 
taspes,  whose  dominions  extended  from  India  to 
the  Danube.  Scripture  mentions  Cyrus,  who  re- 
leased the  captive  Jews  (Ezra  1. 1);  Darius,  who 
confirmed  the  decree  of  Cyrus  (Ezra  6.  1) ; and 
Artaxerxes  (Ezra  4.  7 ; 7.  1). 

PESHITO  [pe-shlt'o].  The  Syriac  version  of 
the  Bible,  otherwise  called  the  Peshito  (which 
means  either  simple  or  vuhjate),  belongs  to  the 
third  century.  The  Old  Testament  part  was  made 
direct  from  the  Hebrew,  with  occasional  refer- 
ence to  the  Septuagint,  as  early  as  the  first 
century.  It  was  very  likely  made  in  the  first 
instance  for  Jewish  proselytes. 

There  is  another  Syriac  version  made  directly 
from  the  Septuagint  as  it  stood  in  the  Hexapla 
of  Origen. 

PETER  [pe'ter],  ST.  (Gr.  “rock”),  surname  of 
that  Simon,  son  of  John,  and  brother  of  Andrew, 
who,  originally  a fisherman  near  Capernaum, 
became  the  first  apostle  of  Jesus.  His  character 


vacillates  between  obstinate  resolution  and  nio- 
mentary  cowardice,  as  is  shown  in  the  story  of 
his  denial  of  his  Master.  In  St.  Paul’s  letters  he 
appears  as  a “ pillar  ” of  the  primitive  church  and 
the  “Apostle  of  the  Circumcision”  (Gal.  2.  8,  9). 
He  was  married  (Mat.  8. 14 ; Markl.  30 ; Luke  4. 38), 
and  was  accompanied  by  his  wife  on  his  journeys 
(1  Cor.  9.  5).  Papal  claims  of  primacy  for  St. 
Peter  have  appealed  for  support  to  Mat.  16. 17-19; 
Luke  22.  32;  and  John  21. 15-17;  but  are  set  aside 
by  such  passages  as  Mat.  20.  20-28 ; Mark  9.  35; 
10.  3i^5;  Luke  9.  48;  22.  26. 

St.  Peter  is  not  mentioned  in  the  Acts  alter 
the  council  at  Jerusalem  (50  A.n.),  but  Gal.  2. 11 
refers  to  a subsequent  visit  by  him  to  Antioch. 
His  history  after  that  incident  has  been  overlaid 
with  legends.  It  is  impossible  that  he  spent 
twenty-five  vearsin  Rome,  though  it  is  probable 
that  his  last  years  were  passed  there,  and  that  he 
there  suffered  martyrdom.  It  is  less  probame 
that  he  and  St.  Paul  were  put  to  death  at  the 
same  time.  If  “Babylon”  (in  1 Pet.  5.  not, 
as  some  suppose,  a ' mystical  name  for  Rome, 
Babylon  was  the  scene  of  his  labor  at  some  pe- 
riod after  the  visit  to  Antioch. 

The  First  Epistle  of  St.  Peter  was  written  either 
from  Babylon  or  Rome,  probably  in  63  or  64  a.d. 
St  Mark  was  with  him  when  he  wrote  it  (5.  13). 

To  the  Second  Epistle  of  St.  Peter  two  objec- 
tions have  been  raised : (1)  that  ch.  2 closely  re- 
sembles St.  Jude.  But  dependence  on  St.  Jude 
would  not  disprove  that  St.  Peter  wrote  it.  (2) 
That  St.  Paul’s  epistles  are  referred  to  (3.  15, 16). 
But  this  would  not  involve  a date  later  than  the 
apostolic  age.  This  epistle  was  probably  written 
iust  befoi’e  the  death  of  the  apostle  (1.13-15),  about 
the  same  time  as  2 Timothy  (66  and  68  a.d.). 

PETRA  [pe'tra],  the  Roman  name  of  the  Nab- 
athsean  citv,  close  to  Mount  Hor,  called  S^a 
in  the  Old  Testament.  It  was  colonized  by  the 
Romans  in  23  a.d.  ; but  the  rock-cut  tombs  and 
theatre  are  probably  later. 

PHARAOH  [pha'raoh].  [See  Egypt.] 

! PHARISEES  [phar'i-sees]  (Heb.  “ separatists  ), 
the  name  given  (like  “ Puritans  ”)  by  their  oppo- 
nents to  the  party  that  arose  among  the  Jewish 
scribes  after  the  victory  of  the  Maccabees,  ^pd 
devoted  themselves  to  the  most  scrupulous  fulfil- 
ment of  the  Law  as  expounded  by  the  scribes. 
Thev  called  themselves  “ neighbors  ” {%.e.  fellow- 
members  of  the  true  Israel;  cL  Luke  10.  2J,  36), 
distinguishing  themselves  not  only  from  the  non- 
Jewish  “people  of  the  land,”  but  even  from 
“the  multitude”  of  Israel  (John  7.49;  Luke  5. 
30-32 ; 7. 39 ; cf.  10.  29  if.).  They  were  thus  strictly 
a sect  (Acts  15.  5;  26.5),  in  Herod’s  time  number- 
ing over  6,000,  affording  a pattern  to  all  thorough 
Jews  and  moulding  their  ideals  through  the  syn- 
agogues (Matt.  23.  2-7).  Seeking  to  make  re- 
ligion supreme  in  the  entire  life  of  the  natuni. 
thev  were  confronted  by  the  Sadducees,  who 
excluded  it  from  politics.  But  believing  right- 
eousness to  be  the  correct  performance  of  pre- 
scribed righteous  acts  (Mat.  6. 1,  2),  chiefly  in 
order  to  secure  ritual  purity,  they  lost  sight  of 
the  real  end  through  self-centred  absorption  in 
the  traditional  means,  and  fell  (for  the  most  part) 
into  censoriousness  and  hypocrisy  (Luke  12.  l). 
Jesus  pitied  their  blindness,  except  when  wilful 
(Luke  16.  14  ff, ; John  5.  39  ff. ; 8.  39-11 ; 12.  42  ff.), 
and  still  more  the  slavery  of  the  people  unfiei- 
the  voke  of  their  traditions  (Mat.  11.  28-30 ; Mark 
7.  3-13).  The  greatness  of  the  Pharisees  was  their 
confidence  in  God,  and  expectation  from  Him 
alone ; and  their  weakness  lay  in  their  ignoTance 
of  His  free  grace,  and  expectation  of  reward  as 
the  pavment  of  a debt.  They  kept  alive  in  the  na- 
tion tlie  hopes  of  the  Messiah  and  of  the  resur- 
rection, but  were  blinded  by  a carnal  prejudice 
to  the  fulfilment  of  both  in  Jesus  Christ. 

PHILEMON  [phl-le'mon],  the  receiver  of  the 
short  epistle  of  St.  Paul  which  bears  his  name, 
in  which  he  is  requested  to  receive  again  to  his

PHILIP  [phll  ip]  (Gr.  “ lover  of  horses  ”).  — (!)  A 
son  of  Herod  the  Great  by  Cleopatra ; was  tetrarch 
of  Batanaea,  Gaulonitis,  Trachonitis,  and  Itursea, 
and  the  founder  of  Caesarea  Philippi.  After  his 
death  his  lands  were  united  to  the  Roman  prov- 
ince of  Syria  (Luke  3.  1).  (2)  A son  of  Herod  the 
Great  and  Mariamne,  whose  Avife  Herodias  be- 
came the  wife  of  Herod  Antipas  (Mat.  14.  3; 
Mark  6. 17).  (3)  The  apostle,  born,  like  Andrew 

and  Peter,  at  Bethsaida  (Mat.  10.  3;  Mark  3. 18; 
Luke  6.  14;  Acts  1.  13),  was  early  called  by  our 
Lord,  and  brought  Nathanael  to  Him  (John  1. 


43  ff.).  His  little  faith  was  manifested  on  the 
occasion  of  the  miraculous  feeding  of  the  mul- 
titude (John  6.  5) ; the  Greek  Jews  at  the  feast, 
who  desired  to  see  Jesus,  applied  to  him  (John 
12.  20  ff.) ; he  interrupted  the  fareAvell  discourse 
of  Jesus  Avith  the  words,  “ ShoAv  us  the  Father, 
and  it  sufficeth  us”  (John  14.  8).  Nothing  else 
is  knoAvn  of  him,  except  the  tradition  that  he 
was  a missionary  in  Phrygia  and  suffered  death 
at  Hierapolis.  (4)  One  of  the  Seven  (Acts  6.  5), 
labored  as  an  evangelist  in  Samaria  (8.  5),  in- 
structed and  baptized  the  Ethiopian  treasurer 
(8.  26  ff.),  and  made  the  seaport  tOAvn  of  Caesarea 
the  centre  of  his  AAwk  (8.  40;  21.  8).

Rome  (Phil.  1.  1.3-17 ; 4.  22).  Philippi  aa'OS  an  im- 
portant toAvn  of  Macedonia  on  the  great  higliAvav 
from  East  to  West.  Philip  II.  of  Macedonia  had 
named  it  after  himself.  In  St.  Paul’s  time  it  was 
a Roman  “ colony  ” (Acts  16. 12)  — i.c.  a .settlement 
of  veteran  soldiers  {ef.  Acts  16.  35,  36,  38).  From 
Philippi,  Avhere  he  had  been  at  first  grievouslv 
maltreated  (Acts  16.  22  ff. ; cf.  Phil.  1.  30  and  1 
Thes.  2.  2),  he  “ once  and  again”  received  pecu- 
niary aid  (Phil.  4.  16).  The  epistle  was  written  to 
acknowledge  the  receipt  of  such  a gift.  It  is 
“ the  most  epistolary  of  all  the  epistles ; ” in  it 
the  apostle  pours  out  his  heart  to  his  friends,  and 
entreats  them  to  be  “of  one  accord,  one  mind” 
(1.27  to  2.  11;  4.2,3). 

PHILISTINES  [phl-lls'tines],  the  possessors  of 
Philistia,  the  coast-land  from  Sharon  to  the 
Egyptian  desert,  with  its  five  cities,  Gaza,  Ash- 
kelon,  Ashdod,  Ekron,  and  Gath,  which  had  be- 
longed to  Egypt  up  to  the  closing  days  of  the 
Nineteenth  Dynasty.  Though  not  of  the  Semitic 
race,  they  adopted  the  Semitic  language  of  Ca- 
naan. They  came  from  Cai)htor  (Crete). 

PHOENICIA  [phe-nl'c_i-a],  a strip  of  the  Mediter- 
ranean coast,  stretching  northward  from  Mount 
Carmel  for  120  miles,  Avith  an  average  breadth  of 
20  miles  (Acts  21. 2).  It  has  been  called  “ the  Eng- 
land of  anti(|uity,”  because  of  its  commercial 
greatness.  Tyre  and  Sidon,  Gebal  and  Arvad, 
were  its  chief  cities.  The  I’hoenicians  foiuided 
many  colonies,  of  Avhich  Carthage  Avas  the  chief.

PILATE  [pi'late],  PONTIUS  [p6n'ti-us],  Avas 
the  fifth  of  the  seven  Roman  procurators  Avho 
from  6 to  41  a.d.  ruled  Judaea,*  with  Samaria 
and  Idumaea.  He  Avas  procurator  for  ten 
years,  from  26  to  36  a.d.  The  Jewish  his- 
torian Philo  quotes  a letter  of  Agrippa  I.,  Avhich 
calls  him  a man  of  “ unbending  and  recklessly 
hard  character,”  and  charges  his  administra- 
tion with  “ corruptibility,  violence,  robberies, 
ill-treatment  of  the  people,  grievances,  con- 
tinuous executions  withou|;  even  the  form  of 
a trial,  endless  and  intolerable  cruelties.”  He 
often  needlessly  and  intentionally  Avounded  the 
religious  feelings  of  the  Jews.  He  made  the 
garrison  of  Jerusalem  enter  the  city  by  night 
with  the  figures  of  the  emperor  on  their  stan- 
dards. These  images,  because  they  Avere  objects 
of  Avorship,  Avere  an  abomination  to  the  Jewish 
people,  who  in  crowds  proc.eeded  to  (’lesarea  and 
demanded  their  removal.  Finding  violent  means 
useless,  I’ilate  yielded.  The  massacre  referred 
to  in  Luke  13.  1 is  another  proof  of  his  cruelty, 
(’onvinced  of  the  innocence  of  Je.sus,  he  lacked 
the  moral  strength  to  act  according  to  his  con- 
science, and  was  constrained  by  his  fear  of  the 
peo])le’s  fanaticism  (Mark  15. 15 Luke  23.  24)  and 
of  the  emperor’s  disfavor  (John  19.  12)  to  deliver 
Him  to  be  crucified.  The  unrest  caused  among 
the  Jews  by  his  arbitrary  and  violent  rule  led 
i Vitellius,  the  governor  of  Syria,  to  send  him  to 
; Rome  to  give  an  account  of  his  actions  to  the 
Emperor  Tiberius.  He  did  not  reach  Rome  till 
37,  after  the  death  of  Tiberius.  According  to

”^PC)ETRY  [po'et-ry]  OF  THE  BIBLE. 

I Its  form.  — The  most  characteristic  mark  is 
the  paraUelism  of  the  members  of  the  several 
yerses  — i e while  the  lines  are  usually  similar  in 
length  and  structure,  there  is  nearly  always  a 
formal  wMy  of  thouuht  between  them.  Thus 
the  verses  of  Lamech  (Gen.  4.  23,  24)  mark  them- 
selves off  plainly  from  the  prose  narrative  pre- 
ceding. , . T , . 1 

Parallelism  is  of  various  kinds,  which  are, 
however,  frequently  interchanged.  They  are  dis- 
tinguished as ^ ^ -r  , o 

1.  Syxoxymous  (as  in  Fs.  21.  1,  2;  Job  8.  5), 
where  the  parallel  lines  express  ideas  exactly  the 
same  or  nearly  similar. 

2.  Frogressive  (as  in  Fs.  23.  1;  Frov.  29.  22), 
where  the  succeeding  line  or  lines  develop  the 
thought  of  the  first. 

3.  ANTITHETIC  (as  ill  Fs.  1. 6 ; Frov.  1.  7),  where 

the  thought  first  stated  is  illustrated  by  its  an- 
tithesis. . 

4.  Synthetic  or  Coxstructiye  as  in  Fs.  25. 
!•>  • Frov.  26.  4),  where  an  entirely  new  idea  is  in- 
troduced in  the  second  or  following  lines. 

5.  Cleviactic  (as  ill  Fs.  121.3,4;  29..8)~  a modi- 
fication of  No.  2— where  characteristic  words 
are  repeated  in  a second  or  third  line,  so  as  to 
complete  or  supplement  the  sense. 

6.  Comparative  (as  in  Fs.  42. 1 ; Frov.  15.  16, 
and  many  other  proverbs),  where  the  form  is  in- 
termediate between  Nos.  1 and  3,  or  Nos.  1 and  2. 

While  the  parallel  verses  constitute,  as  a rule, 
the  only  stanza  or  strophe,  there  are  examples  of 
groups  of  verses  in  the  same  poem,  each  ending 
with  a refrain.  A perfect  specimen  is  Fs.  42  and 
43,  which  are  one  poem.  Similar,  though  not 
so  perfect,  is  Fs.  107.  Fs.  119  is  symmetrically 
divided  into  22  parts  of  8 verses  each,  all  the 
verses  of  each  group  beginning  with  the  same 
letter  in  the  Hebrew.  There  are  several  other 
alphabetic  or  acrostic  psalms,  mostly  late. 

The  individual  verses  are  usually  distichs. 
Tristichs  are  not  uncommon  in  the  Fsalms  (e.f/. 
Fs  22.  23, 24,  26,  29 ; 24.  4, 7 ff.),  and  in  Job  (e.r/.  ch. 
21.  17,  33;  24.  5, 12,  18).  Tetrasticlis  are  rare,  but 
Fs.  37  has  them  ulmost  throughout.  Fentastichs 
are  also  found  in  Fs.  37.  7,  8 ; 25.  26. 

The  above  examples  are  taken  from  the  strictly 
poetical  parts  of  the  Old  Testament.  In  the 
prophetic  literature,  which  is  largely  poetical 
also,  there  is  much  more  freedom  and  variety, 
and  all  the  principal  forms  of  parallelism  may 
be  found  within  the  compass  of  a few  verses,  as 
in  Isa.  25. 1-9.  Nor  is  there  any  practical  limit 
to  .the  number  of  stichs  in  a single  verse  in  the 
poetry  of  the  prophets. 

The  New  Testament  also  contains  poetry  of  the 
Hebrew  type,  e.y.  Mat.  8.  20.  Mat.  25.  34-36  is 
infiuenced  by  the  old  poetic  style. 

II.  Its  matter.— 1.  The  poetry  of  the  Bible  has 
throughout  the  stamp  of  religion  — the  religion 
of  Jehovah.  2.  It  is  simple  and  lucid.  3.  It  is 
universal.  Its  themes  are  of  world-wide  signifi- 
cance, and  its  intuitions  are  the  voice  of  the 
universal  human  consciousness  witnessing  to 
the  truth  of  God.  , 

It  embraces  — 1.  Lyrical  Foetry,  extending 
over  at  least  a thousand  years,  and  including, 
besides  the  Fsalms,  such  lyri9al  poems  as  tlie 
blessing  of  Jacob  (Gen.  49),  Miriam’s  song- (Ex. 
15),  the  songs  of  Moses  (Dent.  32,  33),  the  song 
of  Deborah  (Judg.  5),  the  “ Song  of  the  Bow” 
(2  Sam.  1),  and  the  hymn  of  Hezekiah  (Isa.  38). 

2.  Didactic  Foetry:  either  (consist 


and  31  of  Froverbs,  Ecclesiastes,  and  many 
Fsalms,  e.g.  Fs.  14,  37,  49,  50,  78, 104-106, 139. 

3.  Semi-Dramatic  Foetry:  the  book  of  Job 
and  the  Song  of  Songs. 

4.  Elegiac  Foetry  : Lamentations,  and  sev- 
eral elegies  in  the  prophetic  wriHngs. 

POMEGRANATE  [pome 'giAn- ate],  a favorite 
fruit  of  Egypt  (Num.  20.  5)  and  Palestine  (Deut. 

8.  8).  It  was  imitated  in  ornaments  on  the  high 
priest’s  robe  (Ex.  28.  33,  34),  and  in  Solomon’s 
Temple  (1  Kings  7.  18). 

PRIESTS  [priests]  were  ministers  at  the  altar, 
descendants  of  Aaron,  to  Avhose  family  the 
priestly  office  was  restricted  by  the  Levitical 
legislation.  In  later  times  they  traced  their 
descent  from  the  priestly  family  of  Zadok, 
the  contemporary  of  David.  The  priest  was 
subiect  to  special  laws  (Lev.  10.  8 ft.).  His 
duties  were  mainly  three:  to  minister  at  the 
Sanctuary,  to  teach  the  people,  and  to  com- 
municate the  divine  will.  His  dress,  of 
white  linen,  consisted  of  (1)  short  breeches; 

(2)  a coat  without  seam,  reaching  to  the  ankles ; 

(3)  a girdle;  (4)  a cap  shaped  like  a cup.  The 
l)riests  were  divided  by  David  into  twenty-four 
courses,  each  course  usually  officiating  for  a 
week  at  a time.  The  “ second  priest  ” of  2 Kings 
25  18  was  probably  the  same  as  the  “ ruler  of  the 
house  of  God”  (2  Chr.  31. 13;  Neh.  11.  11) and  the 
“captain  of  the  temple”  (Acts  4. 1;  5.  24).  As 
teachers  of  the  people  the  priests  were  super- 
seded, first  by  the  prophets,  afterwards  by  the 
scribes.  The  “ chief  priests  ” of  the  New  Tes- 
tament were  the  acting  high-priest,  former 
high-priests  still  living,  and  members  of  these 
privileged  families. 

The  High-Friest  was  the  spiritual  chief  of 
the  nation.  The  head  of  the  house  of  Aaron 
held  this  office.  He  was  subject  to  special  laws 
(Lev.  21).  His  special  duties  were  to  oversee 
the  Sanctuary,  its  service,  and  its  treasures;  to 
perform  the  service  of  the  day  of  atonement 
((/.V.),  when  he  was  required  to  enter  the  Holy  of 
Holies ; and  to  consult  God  by  Urim  and  Thum- 
inim  {q.v.).  It  was  after  the  Exile,  and  when 
Israel  was  under  foreign  domination,  that  the 
high -priest  became  also  the  political  representa- 
tive of  the  nation.  His  official  garments,  be- 
sides those  common  to  the  priests,  were : 1.  The 
ephod,  or  shoulder-dress  of  blue,  purple,  scarlet, 
and  fine  linen,  interwoven  with  gold  thread ; 2. 
The  breastplate,  of  the  same  material,  which 
had,  outside,  twelve  precious  stones  set  in  gqld 
in  four  rows,  each  bearing  the  name  of  a tribe 
of  Israel,  and,  inside,  in  a pocket,  the  Unm  and 
Thummim;  3.  The  sleeveless  ro(>e  o/  the  ephod, 
of  dark  blue,  with  a fringe  of  pomegranates  and 
bells;  4.  The  mitre,  a turban,  with  a gold  plate 
inscribed  “Holy  to  Jehovah”  (see  Ex.  38;  39; 
Lev.  16).  , , , . , . 

PROPHETS  [proph'ets].  The  books  which,  in 
the  Hebrew  Bible,  immediately  follow  the  Pen- 
tateuch, are  the  books  of  Joshua,  Judges, 
■ ■ ■ ■ a connected  his- 


Samuel,  and  Kings,  which  give  i ^ 
tory  of  the  nation  from  the  death  of  Moses  to 
the.  Babylonian  Captivity,  and  all  the  books 
which  we  call  prophetioal,  with  the  exception 
of  Daniel.  [See  Old  Testament  Caxox.] 

The  “former  prophets”  are  so  called  simply 
from  their  position. 

Among  the  latter  prophets,  the  “Twelve, 
which  are  now  usually  termed  minor  prophets, 
have  alwavs  gone  together  and  been  reckoned 
as  one  book,  owing  to  their  limited  compass, 
which  admitted  of  their  being  written  on  one 

The  title  “ Prophets  ” is  given  to  this  whole 
addition,  the  historical  books  being  written  in 
a prophetic  spirit,  and  presumably  by  prophetic 
men ; but  we  have  no  precise  notice  of  the  cir- 
cumstances under  which  the  addition  was  made.

.si)eak  of  the  Law  and  the  Prophets  together, 
or  give  clear  indication  that  the  prophetical 
books  were  then  in  the  Canon.  Thus  Jesus  Sirach 
(somewhere  about  ‘200  b.c.)  speaks  of  the  “ twelve 
prophets  ” (usually  called  the  minor  prophets) 
in  such  a way  as  to  leave  no  doubt  that  these 
twelve  writings  M^ere  then,  as  now,  classed  to- 
gether; and  his  grandson  (about  132  b.c.)  speaks 
of  his  grandfather  being  familiar  with  “ the 
Law  and  the  Prophets,  and  the  other  books 
which  follow  them.”  After  a time,  though  it  is 
impossible  to  fix  a date  for  the  beginning  of  the 
practice,  it  was  customary  to  read  parts  of  the 
prophetical  Scriptures  in  the  stated  worship,  a 
section  being  assigned  to  accompany  the  lesson 
of  the  Law  for  the  day. 

It  is  not  possible  to  fix  the  time  when  the  last 
addition  was  made  to  Scripture,  and  the  Canon 
closed.  After  the  Law  and  the  Prophets  there 
remained  a considerable  number  of  books,  some 
of  which  are  certainly  earlier  in  date  than  some 
of  the  books  that  had  been  included.  It  is  most 
probable  that  some  of  the  Psalms  at  least  had 
been  in  use  in  the  public  worship  from  the  time 
of  the  return  from  Babylon;  and  parts,  at  all 
events,  of  the  books  of  Ezra  and  Nehemiah  come 
from  the  hands  of  the  men  whose  names  they 
bear. 

The  three  books.  Psalms,  Proverbs,  and  Job, 
are  taken  together  and  provided  with  a special 
system  of  accentual  marks  for  cantillation.  It 
is  misleading  to  speak  of  them  as  the  poetical 
books,  for  some  of  the  other  books,  e.g.  The  Song 
of  Songs  and  Lamentations,  have  an  equal  claim 
to  the  title,  and  many  portions  of  the  prophetical 
books  are  in  the  form  of  poetiy.. 

Daniel,  though  a prophetical,  or  rather  apoca- 
lyptical book,  is  not  put  along  with  the  other 
prophets ; the  most  probable  explanation  being 
that  it  did  not  exist,  at  least  in  its  present  form, 
when  the  other  prophetical  books  were  included 
in  the  Old  Testament  Canon. 

PROSELYTES  [pros'e-lytes]  (Gr.  “new-comers,” 
“adherents”),  Gentile  converts  to  Judaism, 
were  of  two  classes  or  degrees : (1)  those  who, 
to  all  intents  and  purposes,  became  Jews  by 
the  three  rites  of  circumcision,  baptism,  and 
sacrifice— the  “proselytes”  of  Mat.  23.  15,  Acts 
2.10;  (2)  the  “devout”  or  “God-fearing”  per- 
sons who  renounced  idolatry,  attended  the 
synagogue,  kept  the  Sabbath  and  avoided  gross 
forms  of  pollution  (Acts  17.  4;  ef.  15.  20,  21). 

PROVERBS  [prov'erbs],  the  Book  of,  consist- 
ing of ; — 

I.  A preface,  stating  its  object  (1.  1-7); 

II.  Discourses  in  praise  of  Wisdom  (1.  8—9.  18, 
in  ch.  8 Wisdom  herself  being  speaker); 

III.  “ Proverbs  of  Solomon,”  374  in  number  (ch. 
10.  1 — 22.  IG) ; 

IV.  “Words  of  the  Wise”  (22.  17  — 24.  2‘2),  and 
“ Sayings  of  the  Wise”  (24.  2.3-34); 

V . Further  “ Proverbs  of  Solomon  ” (25  — 29) ; 
^^Y^I.^Two  small  pieces  closely  connected  (30  and 

VII.  An  acrostic  poem  on  the  “ virtuous,”  i.e. 
the  good  or  capable  wife  (31. 10-31). 

The  Book  of  Proverbs  belongs  to  the  depart- 
ment of  Hebrew  literature  called  the  Wisdom, 
which  includes  also  .Job,  Ecclesiastes,  and  such 
psalms  as  37, 49,  and  73.  Hebrew  wisdom  differed 
from  the  philosophy  of  other  peoples  in  the  point 
from  which  it  set  out.  The  Hebrew  thinker’s 
task  was  not  to  discover  a God  whom  he  did  not 
know,  but  to  recognize  in  all  things  God  whom 
he  knew.  Hence  the  Wisdom  became  greatly  a 
doctrine  of  providence  — a justification  of  the 
ways  of  God  to  man. 

The  fundamental  idea  of  the  Wisdom  is  that 
the  world  is  a moral  constitution.  Under  all  its 
phenomena,  and  within  all  human  history,  there 
18  a living  God  fulfilling  Himself,  His  thoughts, 

and  His  will  (20.  29;  16.  31;  10. ‘27). 

The  various  rank's  of  society,  which  are  the 


ordinance  of  God,  the  wise  man  observes  with 
reverent  feeling  (14.31;  10.17).  He  inculcates 
humility  before  God,  gentleness  and  consid- 
eration towards  men,  gravity  of  deportment, 
thoughtful  reflection,  and  slowness  to  speak 
(22.  4;  20.  9;  15.  1 ; 11.  2,  10,  12,  18;  see  also  14. 
17;  16.  32;  15.  28;  15.  2;  10.  14).  • 

To  the  wise  man  the  mind  and  thought  of  God 
are  reflected  in  all  things,  especially  in  the  social 
order  and  moral  life  of  man.  In  ch.  1-9,  and  par- 
ticularly in  ch.  8,  this  general  world-conception, 
especially  on  its  moral  side,  is  personified  as  a 
being,  called  Wisdom  herself.  Then  this  Divine 
conception,  Wisdom,  is  conceived  as  projected 
out  of  the  mind  of  God,  and  having  existence 
beside  God  (8.  24  if.).  And  finallv  this  Wisdom 
was  God’s  artificer  in  the  creation  of  all  things. 
This  profound  idea  was  taken  up  among  the 
other  Messianic  thoughts  of  Israel,  and  was 
afterwards  seen  realized  in  the  Son  of  God  (cf 
John  1.  1-3;  Col.  1. 17).  ^ 

PSALMS  [psalms],  the  Book  of  (Heb.  “ Book  of 
Praises  ”),  stands  first  among  the  “ Writings  ” of 
the  Old  Testament  (c/.  Luke  24.  44,  where  “ the 
Psalms”  stand  for  “the  Writings”).  See  Ha- 
GIOGRAPHA. 

The  Hebrew  Psalter  is  divided  into  five  books, 
ending  with  Ps.  41,  72,  89,  106,  150  respectively. 
Each  book  ends  with  a doxology. 

Many  of  the  Psalms  have  ancient  titles.  These 
are : — 

I.  Titter  indicating  C'/iuraci’er.  — “Psalm”  is 
prefixed  to  fifty-seven;  “Song,”  to  thirty; 
“ Maschil  ” (perhaps  = skilful  psalm),  to  thirteen ; 
“ Michtam,”  to  six ; “ A Praver,”  to  five  (17, 86,  90, 
102, 142) ; “ A Praise,”  to  Ps.  145  only ; and  “ Shig- 

gaion”  (perhaps  = dithyrambic ; cf.  Shlgionoth, 
Lab.  3.1),  to  Ps.  7. 

ll.  Titles  giving  Musical  Directions.  ~\.  “To” 
or  “For  the  chief  Musician,”  prefixed  to  fifty- 
five  psalms,  most  of  which  bear  the  name  of 
David. 

2.  Many  refer  to  Musical  Instruments:  — 

{a)  “ On  Neginoth  ” (4,  6 , 54,  55,  67,  76),  on 
stringed  instruments;  (5)  “Upon  Neginah”  (Ps. 
61),  on  a stringed  instrument;  (c)  “ Upon  Nehi- 
loth”  (Ps.  5),  on  wind  instruments,  probably 
flutes ; {cl)  “ Upon  Alamoth  ” (Ps.  46),  probablv,  in 
the  manner  of  maidens ; soprano ; (e)  “ Upon  She- 
minith;”  B.V.,  “set  to  the  Sheminith,”  or  the 
eighth,  i.e.  an  octave  lower  (Ps.  6,  12),  probably 
tenor  or  bass  (cf.  1 Chr.  15.  19-21);  (f)  “Upon 
Gittith  ” (Ps.  8, 81, 84) ; R.  V.,  “ set  to  the  Gittith  ” 

( = of  Gath),  may  refer  either  to  the  instrument 
or  the  melody ; {g)  “ To  Jeduthun ; ” R.  V.,  “ after 
the  manner  of  Jeduthun”  (Ps.  62,77),  David’s 
chief  musician. 

Selah  probably  indicates  a louder  accompani- 
ment, or  an  instrumental  interlude. 

3.  Others  appear  to  be  taken  from  Names  of 
Tunes  or  from  the  first  Words  of  Songs : — 

Ps.  9 set  to  Muth-labben;  Ps.'22  to  “The  hind 
of  the  morning;  ” Ps.  45,  69  to  “Lilies;”  Ps.  60 
to  “The  lily  of  testimony;”  Ps.  80  to  “Lilies,  a 
testimony;”  Ps.  56  to  “The  silent  dove  of  them 
afar,”  or  “The  dove  of  the  far  terebinths;  ” Ps. 
57, 58,  .59,  75  to  “ Destroy  not ; ” Ps.  53  to  Mahalath 
(unknown);  Ps.  88  to  Mahalath  Leannoth  (un- 
known). 

HI.  Titles  of  lAturgical  Use. —In  the  second 
Temiile  each  day  of  the  week  had  its  own  psalms 
sung  at  morning  and  evening  sacrifice. 

Ps.  92  is  “a  Psalm  or  Song  for  the  Sabbatli 
day.” 

The  LXX.  gives  Ps.  24  for  the  first  day,  Ps.  48 
for  the  second,  Ps.  94  for  the  fourth,  Ps.  93  for 
the  sixth ; while  the  Talmud  gives  Ps.  82  for  the 
third  day,  and  the  LXX.  Ps.  81  for  the  fifth. 

Ps.  38  and  Ps.  70  have  the  title  “ to  bring  to  re- 
membrance;” Ps.  100,  “ a jisalm  of  thanksgiv- 
ing;” Ps.  30,  “a  song  at  the  dedication  of  the 
house”  (probably  for  the  Feast  of  Dedication); 
Ps.  60,  “to  teach”  {cf.  Deut.  .31.  19  and  2 Sam.  1.

^Titles  of  Occasion.  — Thirteen  “Psalms  of 

^Ps^^7  34~ 52,  54,  56,  57,  59, 142,  are  referred  to  the 
persecution  by  Saul;  Ps.  18  to  David’s  deliver- 
Lce  and  victory;  Ps.  60  to  the  war  with  Edom; 
Ps.  51  to  David’s  fall;  Ps.  3 and  63  to  his  flight 
from  Absalom.  , , ,, 

The  Uturqical  titles  probably  represent  the 
usage  of  the  second  Temple.  Those  th^  are 
musical  probably  date  from  before  the  Exile. 
The  titles  of  authorship  probably  rest  on  an  old 
tradition.  They  may  have  been  taken  from  sep- 
arate collections  of  psalms,  which  were  probably 
called  (like  our  full  Psalter)  after  the  name  of 
the  principal  writer. 

The  Authorship  and  Date  of  the  Psalms. 
“Songs  of  Zion”  existed  before  the  Exile  (Is. 
137.  3.  4).  David  was  a poet  (1  Sam.  16. 18 ; 18.  10 ; 

2 Sai^.  1.  17;  3.  33;  6.  5, 15;  22  1;  23.  1;  Amos  0. 
5)  • and  history  makes  him  the  founder  of  the 
services  of  the  sanctuary  (2  Chr.  29.  30).  His 
poetry  and  his  character  in  the  historical  books 
s^upport  the  tradition  that  he  was  the  father  of 
Hebrew  Psalmody,  though  many  scholars  now 
maintain  that  a number  of  the  psalms  that  bear 
his  name  are  of  later  date.  “Ewald  ackriowl- 
edges  only  eleven  entire  psalms  and  some  frag- 
ments as  Davidic,  Hitzi^  fourteen,  and  Delitzsch 
forty-four.  All  of  these  agree  as  to  the  Dayidic 
authorship  of  Ps.  3,  4,  7,  8 11^,  18,  19.  If . 
out  of  three  as  to  that  of  Ps.  9,  10, 12, 13, 15-18, 
19.  8-14,  24,  29,  32, 101  ” (Cheyne). 

Some  critics  refer  many  of  the  later  psalms  to 
the  Maccabsean  period;  but  Westcott  points  out 
that  “ they  do  not  contain  the  slightest  trace  of 
those  internal  divisions  of  the  people  which 
were  the  most  marked  features  of  the  Macca- 
baeau  struggle.”

PSALTERY  [psal'ter-y].  [See  Music.] 

PUBLICANS  [ptib'n-eans].  The  alien  govern- 
ment, whether  of  Rome  or  of  its  deputy-princes, 
the  Herods,  collected  its  taxes  and  customs 
through  speculators,  who  bought  up  the  right  of 
collecting  the  revenue  {publicum)  for  their  own 
advantage.  These  men  were  called  publicam  by 
the  Romans.  The  corresponding  word  in  the 
New  Testament  covers  not  only  the  tax-farmer, 
but  also  his  collectors.  These  were  often  natives 
(Luke  5.  27 ; 19.  2,  9) ; and  were  classed  by  the 
Jews,  not  only  with  the  social  outcasts  (Mat.  9. 
10-13;  21.31),  but  also  with  the  heathen,  as  if 
outside  Israel  altogether  (Mat.  18.  17).  Christ  s 
gracious  attitude  to  them  was  therefore  specially 
criticized  (Mat.  9.  11;  11.  19),  and  his  hopeful 
sympathy  (Luke  18.  10-14)  went  to  their  heart 
(Luke  5.  29;  15.  1;  19.  7,  8).  ^

RAHAB  [ra’hab].  [See  Egypt.] 

RAINS  [rains]  fall  in  Palestine  from  October  to 
April  (Song  of  Sol.  2.  11).  The  beginning  of  the 
rainy  season  is  called  the  “early,”  the  end  of  it 
the  “latter”  rain,  which  includes  the  heavy 
showers  expected  in  March  and  April  (Joel  2. 
23;  cA  Jer.  3. 3)..  . , . . 

REAPING  [reap'ing].  The  corn  ripened  in  April 
and  May,  beginning  with  the  barley  (2  Sam. 21. 9). 
The  harvest,  a time  of  general  re.ioicing  (Ps.  4.  7 ; 
Isa.  9. 3),  lasted  six  or  seven  weeks.  The  corn  was 
cut  with  sickles  (Joel  3.  13)  half  way  down  the 
stalk  or  close  off  by  the  ear.  In  the  former  case 
it  was  bound  in  sheaves  (Ps.  126.  6).  ^aw 

forbade  careful  gleaning  (Lev.  19.  9),  that  there 
might  be  a share  for  tl>e  poor  (Ruth  2.  2). 

RECEIVED  TEXT  [re-9eived  text].  The  text 
which  is  found  in  the  modern  printed  Hebrew 
Bibles  is  that  of  the  Massoretes  (q.v.);  and  it  is 
accepted  by  Jews  and  Christians  alike  as  faith- 
fully representing  the  work  of  these  ancient 
scholars.  The  revisers  of  the  Authorized  Version 
“ thought  it  most  prudent,”  as  they  py  in  theii 
preface,  “ to  adopt  the  Massoretic  text  as  me 
basis  of  their  work,  and  to  depart  from  it,  as  the 
authorized  translators  had  done,  only  in  ppp- 
tional  cases.”  Where  the  Massoretic  text  ipelt 
offered  alternative  readings,  the  revisers  have 
exercised  their  own  judgment  in  selecting;  ana 
“ in  some  few  instances  of  extreme  difficulty  a

REFUGE  [ref 'age].  . [See  Cities  of  refuge.^ 

REVELATION  [rev  -e-la'tion],  THE,  was  written 
by  John  (1.  1,  4,  9),  probably  about  95  or  96  a.d, 
It  announces  itself  as  a divine  disclosure  (1.  1), 
a prophetical  book  (1.  3;  22.  18,  19).  It  is  the 
only  canonical  book  of  a numerous  class  of  early 
Christian  writings  similarly  n&inQd.  Apocalypse 
(Gr.  “ revelation  ”).  It  is  characterized  by  the  use 
of  symbolical  visions  as  the  vehicle  of  prophecy. 
The  model  for  this  mode  of  prophecy  was  set  by 
the  book  of  Daniel.  The  theme  of  the  book  is 
the  gradual  triumph  of  the  kingdom  of  God, 
culminating  in  the  Second  Advent;  John  16.  33 
may  be  said  to  be  its  text.  While  most  exposi- 
tors have  agreed  that  this  is  the  general  drift  of 
the  difficult  book  of  Revelation,  they  have  dif- 
fered greatly  in  its  detailed  interpretation. 
Some  (in  this  case  dating  it  about  68  a.d.)  have 
thought  that  it  symbolized  only  the  opening 
years  after  the  First  Advent;  others,  only  the 
closing  scenes  before  the  Second;  others  again 
have  regarded  it  as  an  inspired  chronicle  of  the 
whole  history  of  the  church  and  of  the  world. 
Others  still  have  read  the  book,  not  as  intended 
to  write  history  beforehand,  but  to  illustrate  the 
fact  that  the  Hand  of  God  is  in  all  history,  and  to 
strengthen  Christians  to  endure  all  trials  by 
trust  in  Him.  Between  the  prologue  (1.  1-8)  and 
epilogue  (22.  6-21)  the  book  is  arranged  in  an  as- 
cending seines  of  seven  parallel  sections,  divided 
at  3.  22 ; 8.  1 ; 11.  19 ; 14.  20 ; 16.  21 ; and  19.  21. 

REVISED  VERSION  [re-vTsed’  ver'sion]  OF  i88i 
AND  1885.  The  work  of  King  James’s  revisers 
remained  practically  untouched  for  two  hundred 
and  seventy  years.  It  is  true  that  during  this 
time  many  small  changes  were  introduced  into 
the  text  by  successive  printers,  but  no  officially 
recognized  revision  took  place.  This  work  had  be- 
come needful : (1)  Because  the  Greek  Testament 
text  had  been  carefully  studied  in  the  MSS.  and 
existing  authorities,  and  many  weak  points  in 
the  A.  V.  had  thus  become  evident.  (2)  Because 
in  the  course  of  nearly  three  centuries  words 
and  phrases  had  become  obsolete  or  changed  in 
meaning.  (3)  Because  Greek  and  Hebrew  schol- 
arship had  developed  to  a much  higher  degree 
than  was  possible  in  the  seventeenth  century. 

In  1870  both  houses  of  Convocation  passed  a 
resolution  in  favor  of  revision.  Two  bodies  of 
revisers  were  appointed  — twenty-five  for  the 
Old  Testament,  and  twenty-six  for  the  New. 
The  scholars  invited  to  take  part  were  chosen 
from  as  widely  representative  sections  of  the 
church  as  possible.  Of  the  instructions  given  to 
the  revisers,  the  most  important  were : to  intro- 
duce as  few  alterations  as  possible  into  the  text 
of  the  A.  V. ; to  adopt  the  text  for  which  the  evi- 
dence is  decidedly  preponderating;  to  make  or 
retain  no  change  in  the  text  on  the  final  revision 
except  tivo-thirds  of  those  present  approved. 

Two  companies  of  scholars  in  America  co- 
operated in  the  work.  The  New  Testament  was 
issued  in  1881,  the  Old  Testament  in  1885. 

A recension  of  this  work,  called  the  American 
Standard  Edition,  and  embodying  many  impor- 
tant emendations  made  by  the  American  Revision 
Committee,  was  issued  in  1901. 

The  Jl.  V.  has  become  an  indispensable  aid  to  all 
private  studv  of  the  Bible.  [See  Exgeisii  Bidle.] 

RHEIMS  TESTAMENT  AND  DOUAY  BIBLE. 
By  1582  a New  Testament  in  English  was  pre- 
pjired  and  printed  by  the  English  Roman  (\Tth- 
olic  College  at  Rheims.  It  contains  a highly 
controversial  commentary.  The  text  followed 
was  the  Vulgate.  The  Old  Testament  portion 
was  issued  at  Douay  in  1609-1610. 

In  the  Rheims  and  Douay  version  the  English 
is  naturally  ecclesiastical  rather  than  popular. 
It  enriched  the  language  with  many  words  de- 
rived from  the  Latin,  and  of  these  not  a few, 
such  as  “impenitent,”  “propitiation,”  “remis- 
sion,” have  through  it  found  a place  in  the  A.  V. 
[See  Exglish  Bible.] 


RIE  [rie]  or  RYE  [rye],  used  twice  as  the  trans- 
lation of  cussemeth  (Ex.  9.  32 ; Isa.  28.  25).  The 
translators  suggest  “spelt”  in  the  margin  of 
the  verse  in  Isaiah,  and  this  is  introduced  into 
the  text  of  both  passages  by  the  revisers.  Rye 
is  a grain  grown  in  cold  countries,  and  not 
cultivated  in  Ralestine.  [See  Spelt.] 

RIMMON  [rim'mon],  god  of  the  Damascenes, 
same  as  Romman  of  Assvria  {q.v.). 

RIVERS  [riv'ers]  OF  THE  BIBLE.  1.  The  streams 
of  Palestine  are  the  Rivers  Jordan  (r/.?;.),  with  its 
tributaries  the  Yarmuk  and  Jabbok  (Gen.  32.  22) ; 
Arnon,  a tributary  of  the  Dead  Sea  (Num.  21. 
13-15);  and  Kishon,  flowing  into  the  Mediterra- 
nean (1  Kings  18.  40 ; Ps.  83.  9) ; and  the  brooks 
Besor,  near  Ziklag  (1  Sam.  30.  9 ff.),  Cherith 
(1  Kings  17.  5),  Eshcol  (Num.  13.  23),  Kanah, 
north  of  Ephraim  (Josh.  16.  8),  and  Kidron,  beside 
Jerusalem  (2  Sam.  15.  23;  John  18.  1). 

2.  Abana  and  Pharpar  (2  Kings  5.  12),  rivers  or 
canals  of  Damascus  {q.v.)-,  Chebar,  a river  or 
canal  of  Babylonia  (Ezek.  1.  1,  3). 

3.  The  great  rivers  Nile  (Ex.  8.  6),  Euphrates 
(Gen.  2.  14 ; 15.  18,  etc.),  and  Hiddekel  or  Tigris 
(Gen.  2.  14;  Dan.  10.  4),  the  last  two,  with  Pison 
(Indus  or  Ganges?)  and  Gihon  (Oxus?),  being 
rivers  of  Eden  in  Gen.  2.  11-13. 

ROCKS  [rbeks].  Clay,  dust,  earth,  flint,  lime, 
stone,  and  sand,  are  words  of  more  or  less  fre- 
quent occurrence  in  the  Bible;  but,  as  they  are 
employed  in  their  ordinary  sense,  they  require 
no  comment.  It  may,  however,  be  observed  that 
the  first-named  was  used  in  making  bricks, 
which  very  commonly,  as  in  Egypt  and  in  Assy- 
ria, were  liot  burnt  but  sun-dried.  In  this  case, 
straw  was  often  added  to  increase  the  tenacity 
of  the  material.  Some  of  the  limestones  of  Pal- 
estine and  the  adjacent  regions,  as  well  as  those 
of  Egypt,  afford  excellent  building  stones,  and 
certain  varieties  can  be  polished.  The  former 
are  generally  of  a very  pale  cream-color. 

ROD  [rod].  The  “rod  and  staff”  of  Ps.  23.  4 
probably  refer  to  two  instruments  still  used  by 
Eastern  shepherds,  the  first  a heavy-headed  club 
for  driving  off  wihl  animals,  the  second  a curved 
stick  for  guiding  the  sheep. 

ROMANS  [ro’mans],  the  Epistle  to  the,  stands 
first  among  the  Pauline  lettei’s,  partly  owing  to 
its  doctrinal  importance,  partly  on  account  of  its 
being  addressed  to  the  metropolis  of  the  world. 
It  falls  into  two  divisions  : — 

I.  Ch.  1-11  (Doctrinal).  The  first  eight  chaji- 
ters  set  forth  the  grounds  and  consequences  of 
the  doctrine  of  justification  by  faith.  The  gospel 
is  the  power  of  God  unto  salvation,  because  it 
proclaims  a righteousness  furnished  by  God,  and 
therefore  satisfactory  to  God,  and  which  man  has 
not  to  earn  but  only  to  receive.  All  alike  are 
guilty,  and  Gentile  and  Jew  alike  must  accei)t 
God’s  favor  as  a gift.  Thus  was  Abraham  him- 
self justified.  In  Christ  this  undeserved  love  and 
grace  is  revealed.  Faith  in  Him  cannot  make  us 
indifferent  to  holiness.  Nay,  dying  with  Christ, 
we  shall  with  him  rise  to  newness  of  life,  to  God, 
and  to  all  the  hope  and  glory  that  come  of  fel- 
lowship with  God.  The  next  three  chapters 
(9-11)  illustrate  historically  the  relation  between 
the  Jews  and  Gentiles  in  the  kingdom  of  (iod. 

II.  (Practical)  ch.  12-16.  A rich  ami  detailed  ex- 
hibition of  the  conduct  appropriate  to  Christians, 
closing  (ch.  Ki)  with  a long  list  of  greetings  to 
“ kinsmen  ” {<•/.  2.  17  ff.)  and  other  friends.  The 
epistle  was  written  at  Corinth,  probably  in  the 
springof  57  a.d., and  was  specially  occasioned  by 
St.  Paul’s  desire  to  pave  the  way  for  his  intended 
visit  to  Rome  (1.  10-16;  15.  23-32;  cf.  Acts  19.  21). 

ROSE  [r5se]  (Song  of  Sol.  2.  1 and  Isa.  35.  1)  is 
the  autumn  crocus  {It.  V.),  a narcissus  or  some 
other  bulbous  plant.  The  true  roses  are  known 
onlv  as  mountain  ])lants  in  Palestine.

its  clearness,  brightness,  and  beautiful  pink-red 
color,  like  the  sapphire,  is  a variety  of  the  co- 
rundum [see  A-DAMaxt]  ; but  though  the  stone 
was  known  in  classic  times  [see  Carbuncle],  it 
is  uncertain  what  red  stone  is  meant  in  the  Old 
Testament.  Some  think  it  refers  to  red  coral, 
but  others  consider  that  it  should  be  translated 
as  pearls.  Of  course,  neither  of  these,  properly 
speaking,  is  a gem. 

ROE  [rue]  (Luke  11.  42),  cultivated  for  a

RUSH  [rush]  (Heb.  agmon)  is  used  twice  in 
Isaiah  (9.  14  and  19.  15)  in  a proverbial  phrase  to 
indicate  something  mean.  The  head,  the  palm 
branch,  and  the  ancient  and  honorable  man  are 
opposed  to  the  tail,  the  rush,  and  the  lying 
prophet.  The  contrast  between  the  tall  palm 
with  its  crown  of  large  feathery  leaves  and  the 
rush  suggests  a small  plant.  The  same  Hebrew 
word  is,  however,  applied  to  a plant  that  bowed 
its  head  before  the  wind  (Isa.  58.  5),  referring, 
no  doubt,  to  such  a plant  as  the  reed. 

RUTH  [ruth],  a Moabitess  who,  after  her  hus- 
band’s death,  accompanied  her  mother-in-law  to 
Bethlehem,  there  married  Boaz,  and  was  thereby 
an  ancestress  of  David.  The  book  which  is  nahied 
after  her,  and  tells  her  story,  is  an  idyll  of 
family  life,  often  regarded  as'  a supplement  to 
the  book  of  .Judges,  but  probably  of  a later  date 
(c/.  1.  1;  and  4.  18-22).

SABBATH  [.sab'bath]  (Heb.  “ rest,”  cf.  Gen.  2. 
1-8)  occurs  first  in  Ex.  IG.  23,  from  which  it  is  clear 
that  it  was  observed  before  the  giving  of  the  Ten 
Commandments  established  it  as  an  ordinance 
forever.  After  the  resurrection  of  Christ  on  the 
first  day  of  the  week,  that  day  came  to  replace 
the  seventh  as  the  Christian  Sabbath.  The  Baby- 
lonians observed  a dav  of  rest,  called  Sabattu, 
described  as  “ a day  of  rest  for  the  heart.”  On 
that  day  it  was  forbidden  to  eat  cooked  meat,  to 
put  on  fresh  clothes,  to  offer  sacrifices,  to  ride  in 
a chariot,  etc.  It  fell  on  the  7th,  14th,  19th,  21st, 
and  28th  days  of  the  lunar  month,  the  19th  dav 
being  the  49th  day,  or  7th  week,  from  the  1st  of 
the  preceding  month.  The  Babylonian  account  of 
the  Creation  makes  the  Creator  say  to  the  moon : 
“On  the  7th  day  halve  thy  disk;  stand  upright 
with  its  first  half  on  the  Sabbath  (Sabattu)” 
SABBATICAL  YEAR  [sab-bat'I-eal  year]  (Ex. 
23.  10  ff. ; Lev.  25.  1-7 ; Deut.  15.  1-11 ; 31.  10-13), 
every  seventh  year,  during  which,  according  to 
the  law,  the  fields  and  vineyards  were  to  be  un- 
cultivated, and  their  produce  to  be  shared  with 
the  poor  and  the  stranger  and  the  beasts  of  the 
field.  Debts  of  Israelites  to  Israelites  were  to  be 
remitted.  Alexander  the  Great  and  Julius  Cfesar 
freed  the  Jews  from  taxes  on  the  Sal)l)atical 
Years.  After  seven  times  seven  Sabbatical  Years 
there  was  appointed  a Year  of  Jubilee,  in  which 
all  lands  that  had  been  sold  or  forfeited  returned 
to  their  original  owners,  and  all  slaves  were  set 
free  (Lev.  25.  13,  14;  27.  lG-24;  25.  .39  .54).  Though 
there  is  no  record  of  the  actual  observance  of 
the  Jubilee  Year,  it  is  frequently  referred  to  in 
Scripture  (Isa.  5.  7-10;  Gl.  1,  2;  Ezek.  7.  12,13; 
Neh.  5.  1-19).  ’ ’ 


SACRIFICES  [sae’rl-fi-ces]  were  public  (offered 
by  the  nation)  or  private  (by  an  individual  })er- 
son).  All  sacrifices  involved  the  slaying  of  an 
animal  (cf . Heb.  9. 22).  The  vegetable  offerings  of 
the  poor  were  accepted  only  through  the  blood 
of  the  public  altar  (Lev.  2.  2,  11,  14-lG;  5.  11,  12). 
Sacrifices  were  of  three  kinds : — 

1.  The  whole  Burnt  Offering  of  entire  self- 
dedication. 


2.  Sin  Offering  (described  Lev.  G.  24  ff.)  and 
Trespass  (Lev.  7.  I-IO)  or  Guilt  Offering. 
Atonement  could  not  be  made  for  delilierate  sins  l 
and  capital  crimes  (Num.  1.5.  .30,  31),  lint  only  for 
(1) unintentional  sins;  (2)  non-capital  crimes,  e..7.  I 


theft,  for  which  punishment  had  been  endured; 
(3)  sins  which  the  guilty  one  confessed,  making 
reparation. 

3.  Peace  Offerings  (Lev.  7. 11  ff.)  were  thank- 
offerings  (7. 12  If.),  votive  offerings,  and  freewill 
offerings  (7.  16  ff.). 

The  sacrificial  acts  were  five : — 

1.  Presentation  of  the  sacrifice  by  the  offerer; 
2.  Laying  on  of  hands  on  tlie  victim’s  head  by 
the  offerer  (<f.  Lev.  IG.  21) ; 3.  Slaughtering  of  the 
animal ; 4.  Pouring  out  or  sprinkling  of  the 
blood  (for  special  cases  cf.  Lev.  4.  6 ; G.  30 ; 16.  14) ; 
5.  Burning  the  whole  sacrifice,  or  its  fat,  on  the 
altar. 

SADDUCEES  [sad'du-9ees]  (Zadokites),  aparty 
attached  to  the  aristocratic  priests  who  traced 
their  lineage  to  the  sons  of  Zadok  (cf.  Ezek.  40. 46), 
the  chief  ministers  of  the  Temple  from  the  time 
of  Solomon.  They  were  an  exclusive  caste,  drawn 
from  men  of  wealth  and  i>osition  (Acts  4. 1 ; 5. 17). 
While  the  Pharisees  (7.  c.) found  their  strongholds 
in  the  synagogues  and  schools  of  the  towns  and 
villages,  the  Sadducees  had  their  centre  in  the 
Temple  at  J erusalem.  They  were  open  to  worldly 
influences  of  all  kinds,  including  Greek  culture 
and  Roman  statecraft.  Their  main  interest  was 
political,  and  their  guiding  principle  was  to  keep 
in  with  any  power  that  secured  to  them  their 
monopoly  of  office.  They  acknowledged  as  bind- 
ing only  the  written  Law,  rejecting  the  tradi- 
tions of  the  scribes ; ignored  the  Messianic  hope 
and  the  doctrine  of  the  resurrection ; and  denied 
alike  the  existence  of  angels  and  spirits  and  the 
overruling  or  cooperating  hand  of  God  in  the 
actions  of  men  (cf.  Mark  12. 18-27 ; Luke  20. 27  ff. : 
Acts  23. 8).  ■ ^ ’ 

SAFFRON  [saf 'fron]  (Song  of  Sol.  4. 14)  is  a 
purple-flowered  autumn  crocus. 


SALT  [salt]  (Heb.  melach,  Gr.  hads).  Not  un- 
common in  more  than  one  iiart  of  Palestine,  and 
abundant  about  the  Dead  Sea,  beds  of  rock-salt 
occurring  around  its  margin  at  various  levels.  Its 
waters  also,  on  evaporation,  deposit  the  mineral. 

SALUTATIONS  [sal'fl-ta'tidns]  among  the  Jews 
were  : “ Peace  be  with  thee  ” (Judg.  19.  20;  John 
20.  2G),  and  the  like  (cf.  Gen.  43.  29;  Ruth  2.4). 
The  reply  was,  “The  Lord  bless  thee.”  It  was 
only  in  great  haste  or  intense  absorption  that 
they  were  omitted  (2  Kings  4.  29;  Luke  10.  4).

Samaria 


BIBLE  DICTIONARY. 


Scribes 


SAMARIA  [sa-ma'ri-a],  a city  in  Palestine  west 
of  Sliechem,  founded  by  Omri  about  920  b.c.  (1 
Kings  16.  24).  It  was  taken  by  Sargon  in  722  b.c., 
and  rebuilt  by  Herod  the  Great,  who  named  it 
Sebaste.  The  province  of  Samaria,  the  central 
part  of  Palestine,  stretched  from  the  sea  to  the 
Jordan  valley,  coinciding  with  the  land  of  the 
half-tribe  of ‘Manas.seh. 

SAMARITANS  [sa-mar'i-tans],  the  mixed  popu- 
lation, partly  of  Israelitish  descent,  which  the 
restored  exiles  found  in  Northern  Israel.  They 
were  the  hated  neighbors  and  rivals  of  the  Jew- 
ish theocracy.  “Samaritan”  was  to  the  Jew  a 
name  of  contempt  and  reproach  (John  8.  48). 

SAMARITAN  PENTATEUCH  [sa-mar'i-tan 
pen'ta-teuch].  This  ought  hardly  to  be  counted 
amongst  the  versions  of  the  Old  Testament,  for 
it  is  little  more  than  the  Hebrew  text  written  in 
the  Samaritan  (or  Old  Hebrew)  characters.  It 
is  extant  in  MSS.  of  very  nearly  as  great  age  as 
the  Hebrew.  [See  Old  Testament,  Text  of 

^^SAMSON  [sam'son]  (“of  the  sun”),  the  last  of 
the  twelve  judges  (Judg.  13-16),  the  son  of  Ma- 
noah,  was  a native  of  Zorah,  which  belonged  to 
Dan.  He  was  a “ Nazarite  unto  God”  from  his 
birth,  the  first  Nazarite  mentioned  in  Scripture 
(Judg.  13.  3-5;  ef.  Num.  6.  1-21).  The  narrative 
does  not  represent  him  as  a leader  of  the  people, 
either  in  war  or  peace;  it  consists  of  personal 
exploits  against  the  Philistines.  His  story  is 
thus  summed  up  by  Ranke  in  his  History  of  the 
World:  “A  very  singular  figure  is  Samson, 
who  belongs  to  the  warlike  little  tribe  of  Dan; 
heavenly  signs  even  before  his  birth  marked  his 
consecration  to  the  service  of  Jehovah : his 
strength  is  irresistible,  as  soon  as  the  Spirit  of 
God  comes  upon  him.  He  fights  against  the 
Philistines,  who  have  already  got  the  upper 
hand,  and  even  the  masterv.  But  he  succumbs 
to  their  craft ; Delilah,  the  name  of  the  woman 
who  takes  him  captive,  means  ‘ betrayer.’  His 
energy  and  his  spirit  are  concentrated  in  his  end. 
He  exclaims,  ‘ Let  me  die  with  the  Philistines,’ 
who  had  put  out  his  eyes,  aud  he  pulls  down  the 
pillars  of  the  house  in  which  they  are  assemblecl ; 
he  buries  himself  under  the  ruins.  The  action  is 
imposing  and  fantastic.  The  sum  of  the  whole 
is  the  self-sacrifice  of  a power  consecrated  to 


God.” 

SAMUEL  [sam'u-el],  the  last  of  the  Judges,  an 
Ephraimite,  Avho  by  wise  administration  in  war 
and  ]ieace  gained  great  authority  in  Israel,  but 
had  at  last  to  yield  to  the  popular  wish,  and  re- 
sign his  leadership  to  a king.  He  spent  his  later 
years  at  Rama,  founding  and  directing  schools 
of  the  prophets.  The  two  books  of  Samuel  are  one 
in  the  Hebrew.  The  LXX . divided  them  into  two, 
calling  the  books  of  Samuel  and  Kings  the  four 
books  of  Kings.  First  and  Second  Samuel  con- 
tain the  history  of  Israel  from  Eli  to  the  old  age 
of  David. 

SANDAL  [san'dal],  a sole  of  leather  fastened  to 


Sandals. 


the  foot  by  a strap  or  thong  (“latchet,”  Gen.  14. 
23;  Luke  3. 16). 

SANHEDRIN  [san’he-drln]  (Gr.  “ council”),  the 
senate,  or  supreme  native  court  of  justice  for 
enforcing  the  Mosaic  system  of  sacred  law  in 
national  and  civic  life.  It  existed  as  early  as  the 
Grecian  period.  It  sat  under  the  presidency  of 
the  high-priest,  and  consisted  of  some  seventy- 
one  members  (chief  priests,  elders,  scribes), 
among  whom  the  priestly  aristocracy  generally 
had  the  upper  hand.  It  lost  the  power  of  life 
and  death  under  the  Romans  (John  18. 31) ; though 
in  moments  of  special  excitement  this  limit  was 
not  always  respected  (Acts  fi.  12 ; 7.  57,  58). 

SAPPHIRE  [sap’phire]  (Heb.  sappir,  Gr.  sap- 
pheiros).  Properly  a blue  variety  of  corundum 
[see  Adamant],  but  in  ancient  times  the  name 
denoted  the  beautifully  mottled  blue  stone  now 
called  lapis  lazuli.  This  is  a silicate  of  various 
bases,  which  is  still  much  valued  for  ornaments. 
It  was  obtained  in  Ethiopia  and  Persia,  and  is 


not  so  hard  as  steel. 

SARDIS  [sar'dis]  (Rev.  3. 1-6),  capital  of  Lydia, 
was  a wealthy  commercial  town,  with  a strong 
citadel.  , ^ 

SARDIUS  [sar'di-iis]  or  Sardine  [sar'dme]  (Heb. 
odem,  Gr.  sardion).  A reddish  translucent  va- 
riety of  chalcedony  {q.v.),  now  called  carnelian. 
The  ancient  name  also  included  yellow-colored 
varieties.  . , ^ , 

SARDONYX  [sar'do-nyx]  (Gr.  sardomjx).  A 
variety  of  onyx  {q.v.)-,  properly  with  three  dis- 
tinct tints  in'the  layers. 

SARGON  [siir'gon].  [See  Assyria.] 

SATYRS  [sa  tyrs]  (Heb.  “hairy  ones,”  Isa.  13. 
21 ; 34. 14).  Elsewhere  the  Avord  means  he-goats ; 
but  in  these  passages  demons  in  the  shape  of 
goats,  to  whom  the  heathen  sacrificed  (Lev.  17.  7 ; 
of.  2 Chr.  11. 15).  Such  satyrs  are  depicted  on  the 
Egvptian  monuments. 

SAUL  [saul],  son  of  Kish,  of  the  tribe  of  Benja- 
min, the  first  king  over  Israel,  He  fought  success- 
fullv  against  Moab,  Ammon,  Edom,  Zobah,  the 
Philistines,  and  the  Amalekites  (1  Sam.  14. 47,48). 
Wilfulness  in  preferring  sacrifice  to  obedience  to 
the  divine  command  before  entering  on  the  war 
against  the  Philistines,  and  violation  of  the  curse 
{q.vS  against  the  Amalekites  (1  Sam.,  ch.  15),— 
proofs  of  his  failure  in  allegiance  to  Jehovah, 
the  true  king  of  Israel,  — led  to  his  rejection 
from  being  king  (15.  26).  “The  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  departed  from  Saul,  and  an  evil  spirit  from 
the  Lord  troubled  him  ” thenceforth  (16.  14).  In 
insane  fury  he  sought  to  take  the  life  of  David 
{q.v.),  and  massacred  the  Gibeonites,  and  the 
priests  of  Nob.  In  the  disastrous  battle  of  Gil- 
boa,  where  the  brave  Jonathan  {q.v.)  and  two 
other  sons  of  Saul  were  slain  by  the  Philistines, 
he  fell  in  despair  upon  his  sword,  and  perished. 

Stately  in  presence  and  demeanor,  generous  in 
impulse,  upright  in  character,  heroic  in  action, 
he  yet  showed  that  one  act  of  disobedience,  one 
instance  of  unfaithfulness,  may  be  the  beginning 
of  a fall  from  a divine  call  to  the  highest  sepuce. 
“ Saul,”  says  the  historian  Von  Ranke,  “ is  the 
first  tragic  figure  in  history.” 

SCAPEGOAT  [seape'goat'],the  goat  laden  with 
the  sins  of  the  people,  and  driven  aAvay  into  the 
wilderness  on  the  Day  of  Atonement.  [See  Aza- 
ZEL,  and  Atonement,  Day  of.] 

SCARLET  [scarlet].  [See  Crimson.] 

SCORPION  [scor'pl-on]  (Deut.  8. 15;  Ezek.  2.  6; 
Luke  10.  19;  11.  12;  Rev.  9.  3,  5,  10),  a lobster- 
shaped animal,  with  eight  legs,  and  a poisonous 
sting  in  the  tail. 

SCRIBES  [scribes]  were  the  “ scholars  or  men 
of  letters  (John  7. 15),  to  Avhom  belonged  the  pro- 
fessional study  of  the  Mosaic  Law.  This  special 
class  of  non-priestly  Jews,  beginning  in  the  time 
of  Ezra,  had  by  the  Maccabaean  period  taken  this 
diitv  under  their  own  peculiar  care,  and  formed 
a body  of  traditional  law,  which,  though  ever 
growing  by  discussion  as  fresh  cases  arose,  was

regarded  as  equally  binding  with  the  written 
Mosaic  Law.  Their  work  included  (1)  a theoretic 
development  of  the  Law  to  cover  fresh  cases ; (2) 
the  teaching  of  it  gratuitously  to  “disciples” 
(Luke  2.  4C ; Mat.  21.  23;  Mark  14. 49) ; (3)  its  prac- 
tical administration  in  the  courts,  in  which  they 
sat  as  judges  or  assessors.  They  were  addressed 
as  “master,”  “lord,”  “sir”  {Rabbi  or  Rabboni, 
Mat.  23.  7;  Mark  10.  51);  “master”  (Mat.  8.  19; 
23.  10;  Luke  5.  5);  “father”  (Mat.  23.  9). 

SCRIPTURE  [scrip'ture],  or  Scriptures,  was 
first  of  all  a general  term,  meaning  simply 
“ writing  ” or  “ writings.”  Then  came  the  more 
precise  designation  “The  Scripture”  or  “The 
Scriptures,”  as  we  find  these  terms  employed  in 
the  New  Testament  to  denote  what  were  the 
sacred  books  of  the  Jews  at  the  time,  and  we  now 
speak  of  Scripture,  Scriptures,  or  Holy  Scripture 
when  we  mean  the  collected  writings  held  sacred 
by  the  Christian  Church.  [See  Bible.] 

SCYTHIA  [S9yth'l-a]  (Col.  3.  11),  the  country 
north  of  the  Euxine  and  Caspian. 

SCYTHIANS  [S9yth'l-ans].  The  name  is  only 
once  met  with  in  the  Bible,  Col.  3.  11,  where  it 
seems  to  be  used  of  the  Scythians  who  were 
settled  in  Asia  Minor. 

SEAL  [seal]  (1  Kings  21.  8)  or  Signet  [sig'net] 


(Gen.  38.  18).  Like  other  Eastern  peoples  (Baby- 
lonians, Egyptians),  the  Hebrews  carried  a ring 
in  which  was  set  a stone  engraved  with  certain 
figures  or  characters.  This  b^ing  impressed  on  a 
tablet  of  elav  or  soft  wax  served  as  a signature 
in  a countrV  where  very  few  could  write  {cf. 
Esther  8. 8 ; Neh.  9.  38,  etc.).  Sealing  with  such  a 
signet  was  also  applied  to  the  tomb  of  Jesus  (Mat. 
27.36),  and  to  the  book  in  Revelation.  Metaphor- 
icallv,  it  is  used  of  circumcision  (Rom.  4.  11),  of 
the  Holy  Spirit  (Eph.  4.  30),  and  of  converts  as 
the  attestation  of  Paul’s  ministry  (1  Cor.  9.  2). 

SELAH  [sS'lah].  [See  Psalms.] 

SEMITES  [Semites].  The  name  means  the  de- 
scendants of  Shem,  and  has  been  given  to  that 
portion  of  the  white  race  which  has  spoken  the 
“Semitic”  languages:  Assyro-Babylonian,  Ara- 
maic, Hebrew  or  Canaanite,  Arabic,  Himyaritic 
or  South  Arabic,  and  Ethiopic  (the  extinct  lan- 
guage of  Abyssinia).  The  first  three  constitute 
the  northern  division  of  the  Semitic  family  of 
speech,  the  last  three  its  southern  division. 

SENNACHERIB  [sen-naeh'e-rib].  [See  As- 
syria.] 

SEPTUAGINT  [sep'tu-a-glnt]  (LXX.).  The 
chief  authority,  outside  the  Massoretic  (or  tradi- 
tional) text,  for  the  recovery  of  the  primitive 


Psalter  FKAfJ.ME.vT,  from  Seftcaoivt,  Psalms  11.7  to  15.4. 

The  earliest  nianuseript  of  any  portion  of  the  Bil)le  at  present  known  to  be  in  existence.  Written  on  papyrus,  in 
uncial,  in  the  third  century.  Found  in  Eprypt  in  1892.  Now  in  the  British  Museum. 


form  of  the  Old  Testament,  is  the  translation 
made  into  the  Greek  language  in  Alexandria, 
which  is  called  after  the  seventy  interpreters 
who  are  supposed  to  have  made  it,  the  Sr.ptna- 
f/int  (Lat.  “ seventy”).  The  legend  of  its  forma- 
tion is  as  follows.  Ptolemy  Philadelphus,  king 
of  Egypt,  at  the  suggestion  of  his  librarian, 
Demetrius  Phalereus,  sent  an  embassy  to  Plleazar, 
the  high  priest  at  Jerusalem,  to  obtain  cojiies  of 
the  sacred  books  of  the  Jewish  law,  in  order  to 
translate  them  into  Greek.  Superb  cojjies  were 
sent, and  a body  of  translators, seventy  or  seventy- 
two  in  number,  to  whom  quarters  were  assigned 
in  the  island  of  Pharos.  A later  tradition  says 
that  the  translators  were  all  shut  up  in  separate 


cells,  and  that  when  they  had  finished  their  work, 
the  translations  were  found  to  tally  exactly. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  the  I’entateuch  was 
translated  into  Greek  in  Alexandria  as  early  as 
the  time  of  I’tolemy  Philadelphus  (284-246  B.c.). 
The  true  account  of  its  origin  is  that,  as  there 
were  in  Alexandria  many  Jews  who  could  not 
read  the  Old  Testament  in  the  original,  a Greek 
version  was  gradually  produced  for  their  use  in 
the  third  and  second  century  b.c.;  probably  the 
whole  work  was  completed  by  150  B.c.  It  is,  as 
a translation,  very  uncfiual,  and  it  has  come  down 
to  us  in  a state  of  great  corruption;  but,  as  this 
is  the  oldest  translation  of  the  Hebrew  Bible,  and 
as  all  the  other  early  translations  are  made  from

it,  with  the  exception  of  the  I’eshito  Syriac  and 
Jerome’s  Vulgate,  its  study  is  of  prime  impor- 
tance. It  is  constantly  quoted  by  the  writers  of 
the  New  Testament.  [See  Jewish  History  be- 
tween THE  Testaments.] 

SERMON  [ser'mon]  ON  THE  MOUNT,  the  ad- 
dress which  in  Matthew  (ch.  5-7)  opens  the  public 
ministry  of  Jesus  as  the  Messiah,  while  in  Luke 
(6. 17 -49)  it  appears  in  a shorter  form  and  at  a later 
stage.  The  “ mount  of  beatitudes,”  supposed  to 
have  been  near  the  Sea  of  Galilee,  is  not  now  to 
be  identified.  The  Sermon  on  the  Mount  is  an 
exposition  of  the  nature  of  the  kingdom  of 
God  and  his  righteousness.  (Mat.  ch.  5)  It  sets 
forth  in  the  beatitudes  (1-12)  the  character ; and 
then,  under  the  figures  of  the  “ salt  of  the  earth  ” 
and  “ the  light  of  the  world”  (13-lG),  the  duty  to 
the  world  of  the  citizens  of  the  Kingdom.  After 
showing  that  the  better  righteousness  of  the 
Kingdom  comes  to  fulfil,  and  carry  to  perfec- 
tion, not  to  destroy,  what  was  good  in  the  past 
(17-20),  it  proceeds  to  unfold  that  true  righteous- 
ness with  regard  to  the  sixth  (21-2G),  seventh 
(27-32),  and  third  commandments  (33-37'),  to  re- 
taliation (38-42),  and  to  loving  one’s  neighbor 
and  hating  one’s  enemy  (43-48). 

Ch.  6 deals  with  the  religious  exercises  of  alms- 
giving, prayer,  and  fasting  (1-13),  and  shows  that 
the  Christian’s  relation  to  his  worldly  propertv 


is  to  be  without  greed  and  avarice,  without 
pursuit  of  by-ends,  but  with  a single  eye,  and 
without  anxiety  (19-34). 

Ch.  7 forbids  rash  Judgment  (1-5)  and  profana- 
tion of  that  which  is  holy  (G),  gives  encourage- 
ment to  prayer  (7-11),  lays  down  the  “golden 
rule”  of  love  (12),  and  enforces  the  necessity  of 
religious  decision;  then,  after  describing  the 
test  which  will  distinguish  false  prophets  from 
true  (15-20)  and  false  disciples  from  true  (21-24), 
concludes  with  the  double  parable  of  the  house 
and  its  foundation  (24-29). 

SERPENT  [ser'pentj.  Snakes  form  a distinct 
division  of  the  class  of  reptiles,  and  are  found  in 
all  but  the  coldest  parts  of  the  world.  In  Pales- 
tine more  than  thirty  different  kinds  are  known, 
of  which  six  are  poisonous  and  highly  danger- 
ous to  man.  All  snakes  were  unclean  (Lev.  11.  41, 
42).  Descriptive  references  are  numerous  (Gen, 
3.1;  3.14;  49,17;  Prov.  30.  19;  Isa.  65.  25;  Mic. 
7.  17).  The  Hebrew  and  Greek  names  being 
general,  the  translators’  renderings  are  pur- 
posely vague:  “serpent,”  “viper,”  “adder,” 
“asp,”  “cockatrice.”  The  last  term  {R.  V. 
“basilisk”)  signifies  a fabulous  four-legged 
creature,  with  a tail  and  a cock’s  comb  (Isa.  11. 
8;  14.  29;  59.  5;  Jer.  8. 17),  Ps.  58. 4;  Jas.  3.  7 refer 
to  the  “ charming  ” or  taming  of  the  Egyptian 
cobra  or  spectacled  snake.  Gen.  49, 17  refers  to 


Horxed  Viper. 


the  horned  viper  and  the  sand  viper,  which  were 
perhaps  the  “fiery  serpents”  of  Num,  21.  6,  8; 
Deut.  8.  15.  In  Isa.  14.  29;  30,  G,  “fiery  flying 
serpent”  is  either  used  as  a figure  of  speech,  or 
means  the  Egyptian  cobra.  In  Isa.  27. 1,  “ levia- 
than the  piercing  serpent,  that  crooked  serpent  ” 
is  possibly  a large  python. 

SHALMANESER  [shal-ma-ne'ser].  [See  As- 
syria.] 

SHARON  [shar'on].  From  Carmel  to  some  low 
hills  south  of  Joppa  extends  the  plain  or  level  of 
Sharon,  once  covered  in  the  north  by  a consider- 
able forest,  but  more  cultivated  in  its  southern 
part;  scarce  of  cities  till  just  off  the  mouth  of 
Ajalon,  called  the  valley  of  the  smiths  (cf.  Neh.  11. 
35  with  1 Sam.  13. 19),  where  lay  Herod’s  Antipa- 
tris,  Lydda,  Ono,  and  the  Arabic  Ramleh,  with 
Joppa  as  their  harbor. 

SHECHEM  [she'ehem]  (Gen.  12.  6,  etc.\  an  an- 
cient Hivite  city  in  the  vallev  between  Ebal  and 
Gerizim;  the  first  meeting-place  of  Israel  after 
the  conquest,  and  the  capital  of  Jeroboam;  now 
a walled  town  of  15,000  inhabitants,  including  140 
Samaritans,  the  last  survivors  of  that  sect.  In 
the  modern  synagosrue  are  three  ancient  rolls  of 
the  law  in  Samaritan,  the  oldest  dating  perhaps 
from  the  sixth  century  a.d. 

SHEEP  [sheep],  the  first  animal  mentioned  in 
the  Bible  (Gen,  4.  2).  The  plains  on  the  coast,  the 
wilderness  of  the  south,  the  rolling  downs  of 


Moab  and  eastern  Bashan,  were  and  are  pasture 
lands.  Sheep  were  used  for  sacrifice ; otherwise 
slain  only  for  feasts,  or  to  entertain  guests.  Ewe’s 
milk  was  the  most  valued  product  of  the  flock ; 
next  in  value  was  the  wool.  The  common  breed 
of  to-day,  with  the  enormous  development  of  fat 
on  the  tail,  seems  to  have  been  the  ancient  breed 
of  Israel.  (See  Ex.  29.  22,  and  Lev.  3.  9, 11.)  The 
Eastern  shepherd’s  life  was  one  of  ceaseless 
watchfulness.  At  evening  the  flocks  are  folded 
in  caves,  or  in  enclosures  on  the  open  plain. 

SHEPHERD  [shep  herd].  The  patriarchs  lived  a 
nomadic  and  pastoral  life  (Gen.  12. 16 ; 13. 5 ; 20. 14; 
24. 35 ; 26. 14 ; 34. 28 ; 47. 17),  and  the  children  of  Is- 
rael to  a large  extent  continued  to  be  shepherds 
after  their  settlement  in  Canaan.  Mount  Carmel 
(1  Sam.  25;  Mic.  7.  14)  Sharon  (Isa.  65.  10),  the 
hill  country  south  of  Hebron,  Gilead  (Mic.  7.  14), 
and  Bashan  (Deut.  32. 14;  Ezek.  39. 18)  were  noted 
for  their  pastures.  The  laborious  life  of  the 
shepherd  is  referred  to  by  Jacob  (Gen.  31.  40). 
Its  characteristic  features  are  the  same  to  this 
day.  The  dress  of  a Syrian  shepherd  consists  of 
a shirt  of  unbleached  cotton,  with  a leathern 
girdle,  and  a large  cloak  of  sheepskin,  or  wool, 
or  hair,  which  also  serves  for  a blanket  at  night. 
He  carries  a scrip  (1  Sam.  17.  40),  or  provision- 
pouch,  of  kid-skin,  a gourd  for  holding  water  or 
milk,  an  oak  staff  six  feet  long,  and  a weapon  in 
the  form  of  an  oak  club  two  feet  long  (the  “ rod  ”

■of  Ps.  23,  4),  the  thick  end  of  which  is  studded 
with  nails.  The  shepherd  stays  with  his  sheep 
night  and  day.  In  the  morning  he  counts  them 
under  his  staff  (Lev.  27.  32;  Jer.  33.  13).  They 
follow  him  to  their  pasture,  and  obey  his  call. 
At  sunset  they  are  folded  in  caves,  or  in  enclos- 
ures made  of  iWgh  stones  (Num.  32.  16 ; 2 Chron. 
32.  28),  and  the  shepherd  is  lodged  at  night  in  a 
booth  made  of  branches  near  the  entrance,  to  be 
ready  for  their  protection  from  thieves  (1  Sam. 
30.  20;  Job  1. 17)  and  from  wild  beasts  (1  Sam.  17. 
34,  35). 

“ Shepherd”  is  a common  designation  of  rulers 
(c/.  2 Sam.  5.  2 ; 7.7;  Jer.  23. 1 ff.).  The  intimate 
relation  of  the  Eastern  shepherd  to  his  flock,  and 
its  entire  dependence  upon  him,  are  often  used  to 
illustrate  God’s  relation  to  His  people  (Ps.  23 ; 74. 
1 ; 79.  13;  95.  7;  Ezek.  34.  8;  c/.  Luke  15.  3-7,  and 
John  10.  1-18).

of"  the  chief  sources  of  supjdy  in  ancient  times. 
It  was  used  for  money  and  for  ornamental  pur- 
poses, and  was  well  known  to  the  Egyptians  in 
patriarchal  ages.

SOLOMON  [soPo-mon]  (“peaceful,”  1 Chron. 
22.  9),  son  of  David  and  Bathsheba,  the  third 
king  of  Israel.  His  history  is  narrated  in  1 
Kings  ch.  1-11,  and  2 Chron.  ch.  1-9.  In  his 
brilliant  reign  the  power  of  the  kingdom 
reached  its  zenith.  He  stood  on  friendly  terms 
with  Egypt,  and  married  a daughter  of  the 
Pharaoh.  He  maintained  his  authority  over 
all  the  lands  won  by  David  (1  Kings  5.  4),  and 
subjugated  all  the  non-Israelite  inhabitants  of 
Palestine  (9.  20,  21).  His  greatest  achievement 
was  the  building  of  the  Temple  {q.v.).  He  built  a 
palace  for  himself,  and  another  for  his  Egyptian 
queen;  also  the  “House  of  the  forest  of  Leba- 
non,” i.e.  an  arsenal  on  Zion,  made  of  w^ood  from 
Lebanon  (7. 1-12),  and  completed  the  fortification 
of  Jerusalem  (11.  27).  Not  till  all  these  works 
had  been  finished,  in  the  twenty-fourth  year  of 
his  reign,  was  the  Temple  consecrated  (iTvings 
8).  Solomon  completed  the  transition  of  the 
kingdom  which  his  father  had  consolidated  into 
an  Oriental  despotism,  establishing  fortresses, 
increasing  the  army,  introducing  cavalry,  and 
entering  into  great  "undertakings  for  the  fur- 
therance of  trade  with  foreign  nations.  He 
formed  an  enormous  harem,  and  Avas  led  away 
into  idolatry  under  the  influence  of  his  heathen 
wives.  The  magnificence  of  his  court  was  main- 
tained by  oppressive  taxation,  which,  in  the  end, 
exasperated  his  subjects.  The  latter  part  of  his 
reign  did  not  fulfil  the  promise  of  its  beginning, 
when,  in  the  famous  vision  of  Gibeon  (1  Kings 
3.  9),  he  chose  wisdom  before  long  life,  gold,  or 
Victory,  and  God  gave  him,  besides  riches  and 
honor,  “a  wise  and  understanding  heart.” 
Along  with  an  extraordinary  power  of  discern- 
ing human  motives  (1  Kings  3.  16  ff.),  he  had  the 
gift  of  expressing  his  thoughts  in  pregnant  say- 
ings, which  were  famous  even  beyond  his  own 
country  (10.  1-8).  There  was  nothing  in  the 
realm  of  nature  of  which  he  could  not  speak 
(4.  33).  He  was  pre-eminently  skilled  in  that 
practical  Avisdom  (described  under  Ecclesias- 
tes) whicdi,  based  on  religion,  embraced  all  the 
moral  problems  of  life,  and  was  the  founder  of 
the  literary  form  in  which  it  is  expressed  in  the 
Bible.  [See  Pboverbs.]  The  72nd  and  127th 
Psalms  are  ascribed  to  him.  The  collection  of 
eighteen  i)oems  called  the  Pmhns  of  Solomon, 
also  called  the  “ Psalms  of  the  Pharisees,”  were 
written  in  HebrcAv  in  the  first  century  b.c.,  and 
are  now  extant  only  in  a Greek  translation.  The 
Wisdom  of  Solomon  (q.v.)  was  also  attributed  to 
him.

that  love  is  to  be  regarded  as  merely  hu- 
man, or  as  a symbol  either  of  the  love  of 
Jehovah  and  His  people  Israel,  or  of  Christ  and 
His  church,  is  a problem  that  has  perplexed 
biblical  critics.  The  last  view  was  that  of  the 
theologians  of  the  early  Christian  church,  and 
similar  views  have  been  entertained  in  modern 
times.  Many  scholars  hold  that  the  book  is  a 
series  of  love  songs,  “ fair  pearls  on  one  thread ; ” 
and  observation  of  the  marriage  customs  of 
Syria  has  suggested  a theory  of  what  that  thread 
may  have  been.  For  the  first  seven  days  of  mar- 
ried life  the  young  pair  are  treated  as  a king  and 
queen.  On  the  wedding-day  the  bride  performs 
a dance  (c/.  6. 13),  while  the  onlookers  praise  her 
in  a song  (c/.  7. 1-7).  Similar  songs,  in  which  the 
husband  is  represented  as  eulogizing  his  wife 
{et'.  4.  1-7),  and  the  wife  her  husband  {cf.  5.  2-16, 
or  at  least  10-16),  are  sung  during  the  remaining 
days.  On  the  morrow  of  the  wedding  night  the 
pair  are  enthroned  upon  a threshing-sledge 
covered  with  carpets  and  cushions  {ef.  3.  6-11). 
It  is  supposed  that  the  bridegroom  is  compared 
to  Solomon,  the  greatest  king  known,  while  the 
bride  is  called  the  Shulamite  (6. 13)  — that  is, 
Abishag(Shunem  = Shulam),  the  loveliest  maiden 
in  all  Israel  (1  Kings  1.  3,  4 ; cf.  Song  of  Sol.  1.  8 ; 
5.  9 ; 6.  1).  The  daughters  of  Jerusalem  are  the 
village  maidens  who  do  homage  to  the  “ queen,” 
while  the  threescore  warriors  (3.  7)  are  the  friends 
of  the  bridegroom.  (Samson  had  only  thirty 
companions,  Judg.  14. 11.)  On  this  theory  the  book 
would  reveal  to  us  something  of  the  home  life  of 
Israel,  and  would  be  a companion  picture  to  the 
idyll  of  Ruth.  Its  theme  would  be  wedded  love. 

Possibly  the  Song  has  not  yet  given  up  its  se- 
cret. Whatever  be  the  idea  of  the  poem,  it  is 
impossible  not  to  feel  the  charm  of  its  poetry 
and  the  intense  love  of  nature  pervading  it.  ' It 
is  nature  in  her  fresh  life  in  spring  that  the  poet 
feels,  when  the  earth  is  radiant  with  flowers  and 
everywhere  breathes  out  perfumes  (2. 11-13).  And 
the  delights  of  nature  are  enhanced  by  the  va- 
riety of  animated  life  in  the  land,  the  doves  that 
hide  in  the  clefts  or  sit  by  the  pools  (2. 14;  5.  12), 
the  sheep  that  come  up  snow-white  from  the 
washing,  the  goats  that  hang  on  the  slopes  of 
Gilead  (4. 1 ; 6.  5),  the  gazelles  leaping  on  the 
hills  and  feeding  among  the  lilies  (2.  9;  4.  5),  the 
little  foxes  that  spoil  the  vines  (2.  15),  and  even 
the  more  terrible  lions  and  leopards  that  have 
their  dens  in  the  mountains  (4.  8).

STEPHEN  rste'phen]  (Gr.  “crown”),  the  first 
Christian  martyr,  one  of  the  Seven  who  (Acts  6) 
were  chosen  for  the  special  service  of  tables,  i.e. 
the  distribution  of  food  to  the  poor.  [See  Dea- 
con.] His  gifts  of  inspired  speech  and  miracle 
made  him  preeminent  among  the  Seven.  Accused 
of  blasphemy  against  Moses  and  against  God,  he 
was  condemned  on  the  evidence  of  false  wit- 
nesses. In  his  defence  he  showed  by  historical 
proof  that  the  Jews  had  always  resisted  God’s 
prophets,  and  at  last  had  murdered  the  Messiah, 
and  that  the  Temple  was  not  an  indispensable 
and  indestructible  institution  of  the  religion  of 
revelation.  He  was  stoned  to  death,  and  “ fell 
asleep  ” with  a prayer  on  his  lips  which  was  an 
echo  of  our  Saviour’s  upon  the  cross  (Luke  23. 


34).  Saul  of  Tarsus  “ was  standing  by,  and  con- 
senting unto  the  death,  and  kept  the  raiment  of 
them  that  slew  him”  (Acts  22.  19,  20;  7.  58;  cf. 
Deut.  17.  5-7).  The  death  of  Stephen  was  the 
signal  for  the  beginning  of  a general  persecution 
of  the  Christians.  [See  Paul,  (St.).]

SYNAGOGUE  [syn'a-gogue]  (Gr.  “ameeting”),a 
Jewish  meeting-house  for  worship.  It  served  for 
church,  law-court,  and  school,  and  was  governed 
by  local  elders  or  “ rulers”  (Luke  13. 14;  Mark  5. 
22;  Acts  13.  15;  18.  8),  who  had  power  to  inflict 
various  penalties,  including  scourging  (Mat.  5. 
22;  10.17;  Mark  13.  9;  Luke  12.11;  21.12;  2 Cor. 
11.  24)  and  excommunication  (temporary  and  per- 
manent). Meetings  were  held  in  the  synagogue 
every  Sabbath,  and  on  the  second  and  fifth  days 
of  the  week.  Worship  was  conducted  by  any 
one  selected  by  the  ruler  on  each  occasion  (Luke 
4.  16  ff. ; Acts  13.  15  ff .).  The  synagogues,  first 
instituted  after  the  Exile,  were  the  chief  means 
by  which  religious  knowledge  and  spiritual  fel- 
lowship were  maintained  among  the  people.  The 
organization-of  the  early  Christian  communities 
was  largely  moulded  on  the  lines  of  the  syna- 
gogue (see  Jas.  2.  2;  Acts  11.  30;  1 Pet.  5.  1). 

SYRIA  [syr’i-a]  (Heb.  Aram,  “ plain”),  the  re- 
gion extending  from  Mount  Taurus  to  Tyre,  and 
from  the  Mediterranean  to  the  Tigris.  In  New 
Testament  times  Syria  included  Western  Aram 
only.  It  was  under  a Roman  proconsul.

wilderness  of  Sinai  immediatelj^  after  the  Law 
was  given.  The  materials  used  in  its  construc- 
tion were  acacia  wood;  goats’  hair  and  rams’ 
skins;  the  skins  of  a fish,  perhaps  the  porpoise; 
linen,  or  possibly  cotton ; and  gold,  silver,  and 
brass.  It  was  called  “the  dwelling’’  {i.e.  of  Je- 
hovah), “the  tent  of  meeting’’  (i.e.  of  Jehovah 
with  His  people),  and  “the  tent  of  the  testi- 
mony” (Num.  9.  15;  18.  2). 

It  was  an  oblong  tent,  30  cubits  long  by  10 
broad,  and  10  cubits  high  (Ex.  26.  15-30).  It  was 
placed  at  the  western  end  of  a court  measuring 
100  cubits  by  50  (Ex.  27.  9-19). 

The  front  or  east  end  of  the  Tabernacle  was  a 
doorway  of  five  pillars  overlaid  with  gold,  and 
hung  with  a curtain.  The  interior  was  divided 
into  two  apartments  by  four  similar  pillars,  sup- 
porting a curtain  (Ex.  26.  31-37).  The  western 
room,  the  Holy  of  Holies,  measured  10  cubits  in 
every  direction;  the  eastern,  the  Sanctuary  or 
Holy  Place,  was  20  cubits  long  by  10  in  breadth 
and  height. 

The  hangings  were  of  four  kinds : — 

1.  The  ceiling,  and  apparently  the  walls,  were 
hung  with  a curtain  of  white  linen,  blue,  purple, 
and  scarlet,  and  figured  with  cherubim  (Ex.  26. 
1-6). 

2.  The  main  external  covering  was  made  of 
curtains  of  goats’  hair  (Ex.  26.  7-13). 

3.  The  double  roof  of  red-dyed  rams’  skins  and 
tachash  (perhaps  porpoise)  skins  was  thrown 
over  the  covering  of  goats’  hair  (Ex.  26. 14). 

4.  The  two  veils,  of  fine  and  divers  colored 


i linen,  one  at  the  entrance  to  the  Sanctuary,  and 
the  other  in  front  of  the  Holy  of  Holies  (Ex.  26. 
31-37). 

The  Ark  of  the  Covenant  stood  in  the  Holy 
of  Holies.  It  was  a chest  two  and  a half  cubits 
long  by  one  and  a half  in  breadth  and  height,  of 
acacia  wood  overlaid  with  gold,  and  covered 
by  a lid  of  solid  gold,  which  was  the  mercy-seat 
(Ex.  25.  17).  Two  cherubim  of  gold  stood  on  the 
mercy-seat.  Two  rings  were  attached  to  the  ark 
on  each  side,  for  the  poles  of  acacia  wood,  over- 
laid with  gold,  on  which  it  was  borne  (Ex.  25.  10 
if.).  In  the  ark  were  the  two  tables  of  the  law; 
and  by  it  were,  for  a time,  a pot  of  manna  and 
Aaron’s  rod  that  blossomed,  and  the  book  of  the 
Law  (Ex.  16.33,  34;  Num.  17.  10;  Deut.  31.  26;  1 
Kings  8.  9 ; cf.  Heb.  9.  4).  The  cherubim  were 
symbols  of  the  presence  of  Jehovah  (1  Sam.  4.  4; 
Num.  7.  89;  Ex.  30.  6). 

The  Golden  Altar  or  Altar  of  Incense, 
four  cubits  square  and  two  high,  also  of  acacia 
w'ood  covered  with  gold,  stood  before  the  mercy- 
seat,  in  front  of  the  veil  in  the  Sanctuary  (Ex.  30. 
1-10;  40.  5;  ef.  Heb.  9.  4). 

The  Table  of  Shewbread  stood  on  the 
northern  side  of  the  Sanctuary.  It  was  two 
cubits  long,  one  broad,  and  one  and  a half  high, 
and  was  made  of  acacia  wood,  overlaid  with  gold. 
On  it  were  displayed  in  two  rows  the  twelve 
cakes  called  the  Shewbread,  or  Bread  of  the 
Presence  (Ex.  25.  23-30;  Lev.  24.  5-9). 

The  Golden  Candlestick  stood  on  the  south 
side  of  the  Sanctuary.  It  consisted  of  a base  and 


Golden  Candlestick  with  Seven  Branches.

TALMUD  [tal'mud]  (from  Heb.  “ to  learn  ’),  the 
fundamental  code  of  the  civil  and  canonical  law^ 
of  Rabbinical  Judaism.  It  consists  (1)  of  the 
Mishna  (“  repetition  ”),  Le.  the  Halacha,  or  tra- 
ditional law,  as  it  was  committed  to  writing  by 
Rabbi  Judah  the  Holv  (wdio  died  219  a.d.)  and  his 
disciples,  divided  into  G parts,  comprising  63 
treatises,  or  524  chapters.  A supplementary  work 
called  Tosephta  was  completed  about  400  a.d. 
(2)  The  second  part  of  the  Talmud  is  the  Gemara 
(completion),  which  is  the  interpretation  of  the 
Mishna.  Of  the  Gemara  there  are  two  forms, 
the  Palestinian,  which  originated  in  the  school 
of  Tiberias  in  Palestine  about  250  a.d.,  and  was 
completed  about  400 ; and  the  Babylonian,  which 
was  developed  in  the  school  of  Sura  in  Baby- 
Ionia,  and  completed  at  550.  For  the  two  meth- 
ods of  interpretation  followed  in  the  Talmud,

TARGUMS  [tar'gums].  When  the  Biblical  He- 
breiv  was  no  longer  understood  by  the  Aramaic- 
speaking peoples  (just  as  Wycliffe’s  version  (q.v.) 
would  be  unintelligible  to  a modern  English  con- 
gregation), it  became  necessary  for  a Meturge- 
man  (i.e.  a “ dragoman”  or  qualified  translator) 
to  give  the  equivalent  Aramaic  when  the  Hebrew 
was  read.  This  oral  interpretation.or  Targum  was 
at  first  of  the  simplest  kind,  but  it  gradually 
became  more  elaborate  and  was  reduced  to  writ- 
ing. The  principal  Targums  are ; — 

1.  The  Targum  of  Onkelos  on  the  Pentateuch, 
perhaps  as  old  as  the  second  century  a.d.  ; and 

2.  The  Targum  of  Jonathan  Ben  Uzziel  on  the 
Prophets  and  Historical  Books,  which  is  of  later 

TAXES  [tax'es].  Every  Hebrew  who  had  reached 
the  age  of  twenty  had  to  pay  one-half  shekel  for 
the  upkeep  of  the  sanctuary  (Ex.  30.  11-lG;  cf.  2 
Kings  12.  4 ff . ; 22.  4 ff .).  Under  Nehemiah  one- 
third  shekel  was  raised  from  every  Israelite  for 
the  building  of  the  temple  (Neh.  10. 32  ff.).  In  later 
times  the  regular  temple  tax  was  one-half  shekel 
(Mat.  17.  24).  Civil  taxes  were  at  first  unknown. 


cutting  of  grass  is  called  “ the  king’s  mowing  ”). 
Money  taxes  were  only  demanded  in  times  of 
extraordinary  necessity.  Under  the  Persians  the 
Jews  were  required  to  pay,  not  only  excise  and 
land-tax  (Ezra.  4.  13;  Neh.  5.  4),  but  also  a capi- 
tation tax;  and  their  condition  under  the  Egyp- 
tian and  Svrian  rule  became  still  harder  {cf.  1 
Macc.  15.  .31.  where  Antiochus  demands  1,000 
talents; also  11. 28, 35).  The 
taxes  now  began  to  be 
farmed,  and  this  system 
was  universal  under  the 
Roman  domination,  dur- 
ing which  the  Jews  had  to 
pay  capitation  and  land 
taxes,  as  well  as  customs.

TEMPLE  [tem'ple].  Solomon’s  Temple  took 
its  plan  from  the  Tabernacle;  but  its  general 
dimensions  were  double  those  of  the  Tabernacle, 
and  its  furniture  and  decorations  were  on  a 
grander  scale.  The  Temple  proper  was  60  cubits 
long,  20  broad,  and  30  high.  It  was  budt  of  stones 
dressed  at  the  quarry,  and  roofed  with  cedar  (1 
Kings  6.  7,  9).  The  floors  were  of  cypress  over- 
laid with  gold,  and  the  walls  were  lined  with 
cedar  overlaid  with  gold.  No  stone  was  seen  d 
Kings  6.  15,  18,  20,  22,  30 ; 2 Chr.  3.  5). 

The  Holv  of  Holies  was  a cube  of  20  cubits,  or 
30  feet  (1  Kings  6.  16,  20).  In  it  were  two  cheru- 
bim of  olive  wood,  overlaid  with  gold,  each  10 
cubits  high,  and  with  wings  five  cubits  long  (1 
Kings  6.  23-28;  2 Chr.  3.  13).  It  was  separated 
from  the  Sanctuarv  by  a curtain,  and  by  chains 
of  gold  and  two  doors  of  olive  wood  (1  Kings  (>. 
21, 31, 32).  , .. 

The  Holy  Place,  or  Sanctuary,  was  40  cubits 
long,  20  wide,  and  30  high  (1  Kings  6. 17).  There 
were  windows  in  its  walls,  probably  near  the 
roof.  It  contained  the  altar  of  incense,  which 
was  of  cedar  overlaid  with  gold  (1  Kings  6.  20, 
22;  7.  48),  ten  candlesticks,  and  ten  tables,  and 
was  entered  from  the  Holy  Place  by  doors  of  c.y- 
press  (6.  33, 34).  ^ , 

Against  the  two  sides  and  rear  of  the  Temple 
were  three  stories  of  rooms  for  officials  and  for 
storage  (1  Kings  6.  5,  6,  8, 10);  in  front  was  a por- 
tico 10  cubits  wide  (1  Kings  6.  3 ; cf.  29, 30 ; 2 Chr 
3 4)  before  which  stood  the  brazen  pillars  called 
Boaz  and  Jachin,  18  cubits  high  with  lotus - 
shaped  capitals  (1  Kings  7.  15-22;  2 Chr.  3. 
15-17). 

The  courts  of  the  Temple  were  tAvo  — the  great 
court  (2  Chr.  4.  9)  for  Israel,  and  the  inner  or 
upper  court  of  the  priests,  walled  off  by  a parapet 
(1  Kings  6.  36 ; 7.  12 ; Jer.  36.  10),  and  containing  a 
brazen  altar  (2  Chr.  4.  1),  a brazen  sea  standing 
on  four  groups  of  three  oxen  each  (1  Kings  u -3,

25,  39;  2 Chr.  4.  2,  4,  5),  and  ten  layers  of  brass  (1 
Kings  7.  38,  39;  2 Chr.  4.  6). 

The  Temple  was  burned  by  Nebuzar-adan, 
Nebuchadnezzar’s  general,  687  b.o.  (2  Kings  25. 
8,  9). 

Zerubbabel’s  Temple  was  erected  by  the 
Jews  under  Zerubbabel  on  their  return  from 
captivity.  It  had  the  same  general  plan  as  the 
old,  though  with  different  proportions,  and  on  a 
scale  of  less  magnificence  (Ezra  6.  3,  4).  Begun 
September  24, 520,  it  was  finished  on  March  3,  515 
B.c.  (Ezra  6.  16). 

Herod’s  Teiviple  superseded  Zerubbabel’s. 
It  was  begun  about  19  b.c.,  and  was  not  finished 
till  63-64  A.D.  (c/.  John  2.  20).  The  area  was  en- 
larged to  twice  the  former  dimensions.  The 
Temple  proper  reproduced  the  old  plan,  except 
that  the  height  was  40  instead  of  30  cubits.  The 
Holy  of  Holies  was  separated  from  the  Holy 
Place  by  a veil  (Mat.  27.  51 ; Heb.  6. 19 ; 10.  20),  and 
was  empty.  The  exterior  eastern  end  was  flanked 
by  two  wings,  making  the  front  100  cubits  long. 
Beyond  the  court  of  the  priests  lay  a large  court, 
of  which  the  part  nearest  the  Sanctuary  was  re- 
served for  men  of  Israel,  the  eastern  portion  for 
women  of  Israel.  These  were  enclosed  by  a strong 
wall  (Eph.  2. 14).  The  grand  portal  in  tlie  eastern 
wall  was  probably  the  Beautiful  Gate  (Acts  3.  2). 
Beyond  these  precincts  was  the  large  court  of 
the  Gentiles,  where  money  changers  sat,  and 
traders  exposed  cattle  for  sale.  [See  Jerusalem.] 

TERAPHIM  [ter'a-phim],  images  of  ancestors, 
probably  like  the  Roman  Lares  or  household 
gods  (Gen.  31. 19, 32-35;  1 Sam.  19. 13). 

TEREBINTH  [ter'e-binth],  or  turpentine  tree, 
a kind  of  balsam,  the  R.  V.  gives  for  A.  V,  teil 
(Isa.  6.  13),  elm  (Hos.  4.  13). 

THESSALONIANS  [thes'sa-lo'nI-an$],  the  Epis- 
tles to  the,  two  epistles  written  by  St.  Paul  at 
Corinth  in  the  year  52  or  53,  occasioned  by  his  in- 
terest in  the  church  which  he  had  founded  within 
eighteen  months  before  at  Thessalonica,  and 
which  persecution  had  compelled  him  to  leave 
(Acts  17. 1-10),  and  especially  intended  to  correct 
their  views  as  to  the  Second  Coming  of  the  Lord. 

THESSALONICA  [thes'sa-lo-ni'ea]  (now  Salo- 
nikt),  in  Macedonia,  at  the  head  of  the  Thermaic 
Gulf,  was  in  St.  Paul’s  time  a free  city  governed 
by  seven  politarchs  (Acts  17.  6,  8).  Its  public  as- 
sembly or  Demas  is  mentioned  in  Acts  17.  5.  It 
was  rebuilt  by  Cassander  (315  B.c.),  and  renamed 
after  his  wife,  sister  of  Alexander  the  Great, 
and  from  146  b.c.  was  the  seat  of  the  Roman 
governors  of  Macedonia.  A “ free  city,”  a great 
seaport,  and  the  centre  of  the  Via  Egnatia,  the 
great  high  road  from  the  Adriatic  to  the  Helles- 
pont, it  was,  after  Corinth,  the  second  com- 
mercial city  of  the  European  Greeks,  and  it  is 
now  the  second  citv  of  European  Turkey. 

THOMAS  [thSm'as]  (Mat.  10.  3;  Mark  3. 18;  Luke 
6.  15;  Acts  1. 13),  one  of  the  twelve  disciples  of 
Jesus,  in  the  Gospel  of  John  called  Didymus 
(‘‘twin”),  which  is  the  Greek  rendering  of  the 
Aramaic  name  (John  11. 16 ; 20. 24 ; 21.  2).  The  pas- 
sages in  John’s  Gospel  (ch.  11, 14,  and  20)  in  which 
Thomas  appears,  reveal  the  intense  love  that 
bound  him  to  his  Master.  The  image  of  the 
crucifixion  filled  his  mind  (20.  25),  and  his  sorrow 
would  not  be  comforted  by  others’  testimony : he 
must  himself  see  before  he  could  believe  that  his 
Lord  was  risen.  Jesus,  tenderly  reproving  him, 
granted  him  all  that  he  desired;  “and  Thomas 
answered  and  said  unto  Him,  ‘ My  Lord  and  mv 
God ’”  (20.  28). 

There  is  an  early  tradition  that  Thomas 
preached  the  gospel  in  Parthia,  and  was  buried 
at  Edessa.  The  Syrian  Christian  of  Malabar,  the 
“ Thomas-Christians,”  regarded  him  as  the  foun- 
der of  their  community. 

THRESHING  [thrgsh'ing]  (see  Isa.  28.  24  if.). 
Lighter  grain,  such  as  spelt  and  cummin,  was 
beaten  out  with  rods  and  flails  (Isa.  28.  27) ; other 
kinds  were  threshed  either  (1)  by  the  feet  of  cat- 


tle (Deut.  25.  4),  or  (2)  by  a threshing  instrument, 
made  either  of  planks  studded  with  stones  or 
iron  (2  Sam.  24.  22),  or  of  rollers  spiked  with  iron 
“ teeth  ” (Isa.  41. 15). 

THYATIRA  [thy'a-trr^]  (Rev.  2.  18-29),  on  the 
Lycus,  was  an  important  town  of  Lydia,  with  a 
large  Greek  population,  and  noted  for  purple- 
dyeing and  weaving.  An  inscription  found  there 
mentions  its  dyers’  guild  (c/.  Acts  16. 14). 

THYINE  WOOD  [thy'Ine  wood]  (Rev.  18. 12),  the 
hard,  fragrant  wood  of  a North  African  cypress. 

TIBERIAS  [tl-b5'ri-as]  (John  6. 1 ; 21. 1)  built  by 
Herod  Antipas,  on  the  west  shore  of  the  Sea  of 
Galilee,  and  famous  in  the  second  century  A. d. 
for  its  school  of  rabbis,  and  as  the  seat  of  the 
Sanhedrin,  has  now  2,000  inhabitants.

TIMOTHY  [tira'o-thy],  an  assistant  and  com- 
panion of  St.  Paul,  had  been  trained  in  piety  by 
his  Jewish  mother  Eunice  and  grandmother  Lois 
(2  Tim.  1.  5 ; 3.  14,  15).  A convert  of  St.  Paul’s,  he 
travelled  in  Macedonia  and  Greece,  sometimes 
with  the  apostle,  sometimes  commissioned  by 
him  {cf.  Acts  16.  4 to  20.  4;  1 Cor.  4.  17;  16.  10,  11; 
2 Cor.  1.  1,  19 ; Rom.  16.  21 ; 1 Thes.  1.  1 ; 3.  2,  6 ; 2 
Thes.  1. 1).  He  appears  afterwards  as  the  apostle’s 
representative  at  Ephesus  (1  Tim.  1. 3)  and  was  at 
Rome  while  St.  Paul  was  in  prison  there  (Col.  1. 
1;  Philem.  1;  Phil.  1.  1 ; 2.  19;  2 Tim.  4.  9,  21). 

The  First  Epistle  to  Timothy,  which  has  been 
compared  to  pearls  of  varied  size  and  color 
loosely  strung  on  one  thread,  must  have  been 
written  between  64  and  67  a.d.;  the  Second  was 
written  about  67,  and  is  the  last  of  St.  Paul’s  ex- 
tant writings. 

TIN  [tin]  (Heb.  hedll,  Gr.  kassiteros'].  The  metal 
(obtained  only  from  the  oxide)  has  not  been 
found  in  Palestine.  It  was,  however,  in  use  from 
the  first,  chiefly  as  a constituent  of  bronze,  [See 
Copper.]  It  was  procured  from  Tyre,  perhajis 
also  from  Egvpt. 

TINDALE ’S  TRANSLATIONS,  1525.  William 
Tindale,  a scholar  of  simple,  earnest,  heroic  life, 
perceiving,  as  he  tells  us,  “ that  it  was  impossi- 
ble to  establish  the  lay  people  in  any  truth,  ex- 
cept the  Scrii)ture  were  plainly  laid  before  their 
eyes,  in  their  mother  tongue,”  resolved  to  do 
this  great  task.  And  this  through  toil  and  exile, 
by  ten  years’  unceasing  labor,  against  the  will  of 
bishops  and  of  princes,  and  finally  at  the  sacri- 
fice of  his  life,  he  did.  In  1525,  at  Cologne,  Peter 
Quentel  began  to  print  a quarto  edition  of  Tin- 
dale’s  New  Testament.  The  work  was  stopped 
by  the  magistrates,  and  Tindale  fled  to  Worms, 
where  Peter  Shoeiler  printed  for  him  an  edition 
in  octavo.  Of  these  only  three  copies  are  now 
known  to  exist.  One,  a fragment  of  the  quarto, 
is  in  the  British  Museum;  the  second, an  imper- 
fect cojjy  of  the  octavo,  is  in  the  library  of  St. 
Paul’s  Cathedral;  the  third,  also  octavo,  and 
lacking-only  the  title,  is  in  the  library  of  the  Bap-

tist  College,  Bristol.  These  New  Testaments  be- 
gan to  reach  England  in  1526,  and  by  order  of  Tun- 
stal.  Bishop  of  London,  were  burntat  Paul’s  Cross. 

The  chief  aids  Tindale  used  were  the  Greek  New 
Testament  of  Erasmus  (1519,  1522),  the  German 
New  Testament  of  Luther  (1523),  and  the  Vulgate. 

All  subsequent  scholars  have  done  nothing 
more  than  improve  in  details  his  translation. 
He  fixed  for  all  subsequent  workers  the  standard 
of  diction  and  stvle  of  the  English  Bible.  The 
vast  bulk  also  of  the  words  we  still  read  are  his. 
For  example,  in  his  version  of  John  10.  7-10,  out 
of  eighty-seven  words,  eighty  stand  in  the  A.  V. 
exactly  as  in  the  1525  New  Testament,  and  of  the 
same  nassage  in  the  R.  V.  seventy-seven  words 
are  identical  with  the  1525  New  Testament. 

After  his  New  Testament  was  proscribed  in 
England,  Tindale  himself,  though  an  exile,  was  in 
peril  of  his  life.  But  he  went  to  Marburg  in  Hesse, 
and  there  from  the  office  of  Hans  Lufft  issued  lu 
1530  the  Pentateuch,  the  first  portion  of  the  Old 
Testament  which  an  Englishman  could  read  in 
printed  form  in  his  mother-tongue.  It  is  a thick 
small  octavo,  containing  384  folios  or  768  pages, 
the  page  of  type  measuring  5 inches  by  2^.  Gene- 
sis and  Numbers  are  printed  in  black-letter,  the 
other  books  in  Roman  type.  This  is  one  of  the 
rarest  and  most  precious  of  English  books.  The 
British  Museum  and  the  British  and  Foreign 
Bible  Society  possess  very  fine  copies.  Each  book 
has  a prologue  written  in  the  clear  and  beautiful 
English  of  the  text. 

As  in  the  New  Testament,  so  here,  Tindale 
translated  directly  from  the  original  text,  using 
Luther  and  the  Vulgate  as  aids.  There  are  many 
marginal  notes,  and  a few  of  these  are  strongly 
contro\ersial,  not  a surprising  fact  when  it  is 
borne  in  mind  that  the  authorities  of  the  Romish 
Church  of  that  day  hated  alike  •the  gospel  and 
its  restraints,  and  all  who  tried  to  make  the  gospel 
known  to  the  common  people.  In  1.534  Tindale 
issued  a second  edition,  in  which,  however,  the 
only  book  altered  was  Genesis,  which  was  printed 
in  Roman  type,  and  from  which  almost  all  the 
notes  of  the  first  edition  were  omitted. 

In  1534  Tindale  issued  at  Antwerp,  from  the 
printing  office  of  Martin  Lempereur,  a very  care- 
fully revised  edition  of  his  New  Testament.  This, 
like  the  Pentateuch,  is  a thick  small  octavo,  the 
page  of  type  measuring  5|  inches  by  2^.  This 
book  is  a noble  example  of  Tindale’s  thorough- 
ness and  care.  Many  of  his  most  felicitous 
phrases  are  found  here  — e.{/.  “ he  came  to 
himself,”  for  the  earlier  ” he  remembered  him- 
self; ” “ am  no  more  worthy,”  for  “ am  not  wor- 
thy;” “consider  the  lilies,”  for  “behold  the 
lilies,”  etc.  Tindale  was  equally  great  whether 
translating  or,  after  further  years  of  study,  re- 
vising his  existing  translations.  By  1.536,  the 
year  of  his  martyrdom,  at  least  seven  editions  of 
his  New  Testament  had  been  published  and 
circulated.  There  were  also  other  “pirated” 
editions,  of  which,  unfortunately,  only  one  soli- 
tary specimen  is  known  to  have  survived.  This 
is  in  the  British  Museum,  and  is  known  as  Joye’s 
edition.  [See  English  Bible.) 

TIRHAKAH  [tir’ha-kah].  [See  Assyria  and 
ICOYI^X 

TITUS  [tl'tus],  an  assistant  of  St.  Paul  in  his 
anostolic  work,  accompanied  that  apostle  to  the 
council  at  Jerusalem  as  a Gentile  Christian  who 
had  remained  uncircumcised  (Gal.  2.  1,  3).  He 
afterwards  appears  as  St.  Paul’s  commissioner  in 
Corinth  (2  Cor.  2.  13;  7.  6,  13-15;  8.  C,  16,23;  12.  18). 
The  Epistle  to  Titus,  which  mentions  (1.  5)  that 
he  was  left  by  St.  Paul  in  Crete,  to  organize  the 
work  there,  and  sets  forth  the  duties  of  the  pas- 
toral office,  and  the  virtues  of  domestic  and 
social  life,  can  scareelv  have  been  earlier  than 
Nero’s  persecution  (64).  The  last  mention  of 
Titus  is  in  2 Tim.  4,  10. 

TOBIT  [to'bit].  The  Book  of  Tobit  was  one  of  the 
bones  of  contention  between  the  Reformers  and 


the  Roman  Catholics,  the  book  having  provoked 
the  hostility  of  the  critic  on  account  of  its  being 
non-historical,  and  that  of  the  moralist  by  its  in- 
troduction of  an  angel  who  tells  lies.  Tobit,  the 
father,  and  Tobias,  the  son,  who  are  the  heroes  of 
this  fantastic  legend  of  family  life  in  the  time 
of  the  Assyrian  Captivity,  are  impersonations  of 
the  strictest  legal  piety.  The  book,  -which  be- 
longs to  the  first  century  b.c.,  was  a favorite  of 
the  Jews,  and  was  held  in  high  esteem  by  many 
of  the  fathers  and  doctors  of  the  church.  One 
sentence  in  it,  “Do  that  to  no  man  which  thou 
hatest,”  shows  the  Golden  Rule  in  its  earliest 
known  form,  as  the  negative  precept  which  pre- 
ceded the  positive  enunciation  of  the  gospel, 
“ Whatsoever  ye  would  that  men  should  do  to 
you,  do  you  even  so  to  them.”  We  possess  the 
Book  of  "Tobit  in  Greek,  Latin,  and  Aramaic,  but 
not  in  the  original  Hebrew,  [See  Apocrypha.] 

TONGUES  [tongues].  Speaking  with.  St.  Luke 
describes  (Acts  2.  1-13)  the  marvellous  gift  of 
“other  tongues,”  granted  to  the  disciples  on  the 
Day  of  Pentecost.  They  spoke,  “ as  the  Spirit 
gave  them  utterance,”  in  such  a way  that  the 
strangers  then  in  Jerusalem  heard  in  their  own 
tongues  “ the  mightv  works  of  God.”  In  1 Cor., 
ch.  12-14,  St.  Paul  describes  the  spiritual  gift  of 
ecstatic  speech  which  especially  prevailed  in  the 
Corinthian  church. 

TOPAZ  [to'paz]  (Heb.  piidah,  Gx.  fopazion>i. 
The  modern  topaz  is  a silicate  of  alumina  with 
fluorine,  generally  of  a resin-yellow  color,  which 
is  harder  than  all  varieties  of  quartz,  and  thus 
considerably  harder  than  steel ; but  the  ancient 
topaz  appears  to  have  been  the  chrysolite  (q.v.). 

TOPHET  [to'phet].  [See  Jeru.salem.] 

. TREASURY  [treasTi-iy]  or  TREASURE  [treas'- 
ure].  Three  words  are  thus  translated  in  the 
New  Testament : — 

(а)  Treasury  (Mark  12.  41,  43;  Luke  21.  1;  John 
8,  20).  The  treasury-chamber  contained  thirteen 
brazen  trumpet-shaped  chests,  which  stood  in 
the  outer  court  of  the  women. 

(б)  Korhanas  (Mat.  27.  6;  see  R.  V.  margin),  the 
sacred  treasure  of  the  Jews,  or,  as  Mark  (7.  11) 
writes,  “ given  (to  God).” 

(c)  Treasure  in  the  sense  of  treasure-house  or 
treasure-chest  (Mat.  2. 11;  13.  52)  or  treasure  used 
figuratively  (Mat.  6.  19,  20;  12.  35;  13.  44;  19.  21; 
Mark  10.  21 ; Luke  6.  45 ; 12.  33 ; 18.  22 ; 2 Cor.  4.  7 ; 
Col.  2.3;  Heb.  11.26). 

TRIBUTE  [trib'fite].  — 1.  The  saered  tribute 
(half  a shekel),  or  the  atonement-money,  whose 
institution  is  recorded  in  Ex.  30. 13-16.  In  Nehe- 
miah’s  day,  the  tribute  ai)pears  to  have  been  re- 
duced to  one-third  of  a shekel  (Neh.  10.  32);  but 
after  the  dispersion  the  tribute  was  restored  to 
the  original  half -shekel,  and  this  sum  was  regu- 
larly paid  by  Jews  scattered  throughout  the 
w^orld,  for  tlie  maintenance  of  the  Temple  and 
its  services. 


In  Mat.  17.  24  the  marginal  reading  is  di- 
drachma,  two  Syrian  drachma} -^hoxxi  Is.  4d., 
or  32  cents.

2.  The  civil  tribute  (Mat.  22.  17,  19;  Mark  12. 
14;  Luke  20.  22;  23.  2),  a tax  paid  annually  to  the 
Roman  emperors  by  the  inhabitants  of  Judaea 
after  it  became  a Roman  province.  In  the  time 
of  our  Lord,  this  was  a denarius  or  penny  (q.v.). 
After  the  capture  of  Jerusalem  and  the  destruc- 
tion of  the  Temple,  it  was  raised  to  the  same 
amount  as  the  sacred  tribute  mentioned  above. 

This  tax  was  abolished  at  the  accession  of  the 
Emperor  Nerva  (96  a.d.),  but  renewed  by  Ha- 
drian. 

TRUMPET  [trump'et].  [See  Music.] 

TYRE  [tyre]  (Josh.  19.  29,  etc.),  a famous  Phoe- 
nician seaport,  claiming  to  have  been  founded 
about  2700  b.c.  It  had  two  ports,  and  colonies  at 
Carthage  (about  850  b.c.)  and  all  over  the  Medi- 
terranean. It  was  often  attacked  by  Egypt  and 
Assyria,  and  was  taken  by  Alexander  the  Great 
after  a terrible  siege  in  332  b.c.  It  is  now  a town 
of  3,000  inhabitants. 

U 

UNICORN  [u'nl-eorn]  {A.V.;  It.V.  “ wild  ox,” 
margin  “ox-antelope”),  doubtless  the  aurochs, 
the  extinct  wild  ox  described  by  Caesar  (Bell. 
Gall.  4.  29).  (C/‘.  Dent.  3:3.  17 ; Job  39.  9-12 ; Ps.  50. 
9, 10.)  It  is  only  once  referred  to  after  David’s 
time  (Isa.  34.  7).  It  appears  in  the  sculptures  of 
the  later  dvnasties  of  Assvria  till  about  800  b.c. 
UR  [ur]  OF  THE  CHALDEES.  [See  Abraham.] 
URIM  [u'rlm]  AND  THUMMIM  [thum'mim] 
(Heb.  “clearness  and  .iustice”),  the  sacred  lots 
placed  within  the  pocket  of  the  high-priest’s 
breastplate.  Their  use  is  illustrated  bv  the  LXX. 
version  of  1 Sam.  14.  41,  where  Saul  asks  God,  if 
the  iniquity  be  in  himself  or  Jonathan,  to  give 
Urim;  if  in  Israei  to  give  Thummim.  [See  under 
Priests.] 

V 

VERMILION  [ver-mil'ibn]  (Heb.  shasher,  Gr.  mil- 
tos).  This  scarlet  pigment  is  a sulphide  of  mer- 
cury (cinnabar).  Probably  it  came  from  Spain, 
where  the  mines  of  Almaden  are  still  famous. 

VERSIONS  [ver'sions]  (EARLIEST  OF  THE) 
NEW  TESTAMENT.  These  give  valuable  evi- 
dence as  to  the  state  of  the  New  Testament  text 
at  the  time  when  it  was  translated.  The  earliest 
versions  are  believed  to  go  back  in  some  form  to 
the  second  century.  They  are  : — 

1.  Syriac  Versions. 

(1.)  Old  Syriac  (Lewis  Syriac)  from  Mount 
Sinai,  discovered  in  palimpsest,  in  the  convent 
of  MounJ;  Sinai,  in 
1892,  by  Mrs.  Lewis. 

(2.)  Old  Syriac, 
called  C u r e t o n’s 
Syriac,  after  its  dis- 
coverer, who  de- 
tected it  amongst 
the  treasures 
brought  in  1842 
from  the  Syrian 
convent  in  the  Ni- 
trian  Desert  to  the 
British  Museum. 

(3 . ) Ta, t/i an' s Har- 
mony of  the  Four 
Gosjiels  (?160  A.i).^ 
originally  in  Syriac, 
now  extant  only  in 
Armenian  and  Ara- 
bic versions. 

(4.)  The  Pesh'ito, 
a revision  of  the  Old 
Syriac,  is  tlie  next 
stage  in  the  history 
of  this  version. 

(5.)  The  Ph-ilox- 
enia,n  Syriac  is  a 
literal  Syriac  ver- 
sion by  Philoxenus 
(608  A.D.). 

(6.)  The  Jerusa- 


lem ox  Palestinian  Syriac  is  in  very  close  connec- 
tion with  the  Tatian  Harmony  and  with  the  Old 
Syriac,  and  probably  comes  nearest  to  the  speech 
of  our  Lord  and  His  apostles. 

The  Armenian  version  is  closely  connected 
with  the  early  Syriac. 

2.  The  Latin  Version. 

(1.)  Old  Latin.  An  African  version  of  the 
second  century,  known  to  us  by  the  quotations 
of  Cyprian  in  the  third  century,  and,  as  far  as  the 
Gospels  are  concerned,  in  the  Codex  Bobiensis  at 
Turin,  and  the  Codex  Palatinus  at  Vienna. 

(2.)  European  Latin.  A European  version,  of 
which  the  chief  representatives,  as  regards  the 
Gospels,  are  the  Codex  Vercellencis  of  the  fourth 
century,  the  Codex  Veronensis  of  the  fifth 
century,  and  the  Codex  Colbertinus  of  the 
eleventh  century. 

(3.)  The  Itala  and  the  Latin  Vulgate.  The 
work  of  revision  of  these  Old  Latin  texts  pro- 
duces various  modified  types  of  text  (called  by 
Augustine  the  Itala,  perhaps  South  Italian  or 
Neapolitan),  in  greater  accordance  with  the 
Greek,  which  lead  up  to  the  Vulgate  \q.v.). 

3.  The  Egyptian  New  Testament  appears  in  a 
number  of  translations  and  dialects,  of  which 
the  chief  are  : — 

(1.)  Coptic  or  Memphitic.  The  Coptic  or  Mem- 
phitic  version  of  Lower  Egypt,  sometimes  called 
Bohairic,  which  is  supposed  to  have  been  made 
as  early  as  the  close  of  the  second  century. 

(2.)  Thebaic  or  Sahidic.  The  Thebaic  or  Sa- 
hidic  yersion  of  Upper  Egypt,  which  is  assigned 
to  a slightly  later  date  than  the  Memjihitic. 

(3.)  FayyUmic.  The  Fayyum  version,  of  which 
fragments  are  reported  to  have  recentlv  been 
recovered. 

None  of  these  versions  or  dialects  has  as  yet 
been  properly  edited  or  studied. 

Closely  connected  with  the  Egyptian  versions, 
but  not  necessarily  wholly  dependent  upon  them, 
is  the  version  in  Ethiopic,  Avhich  is  still  the 
ecclesiastical  language  of  the  Abyssinians. 

Other  versions  of  more  or  less  importance  are 
the  Gothic,  the  Slavonic,  the  Anglo-Saxon,  etc. 
[See  New  Testament,  Text  of  the.] 

VINE  [vine],  VINEYARD  [vine’yard].  The  vine 
was  early  cultivated  in  Canaan  (Gen.  9.  20,  21). 
Names  of  places,  like  Eschol  (“  cluster  ”),  Gath 
(“  Avinepress  ”),  etc.,  and  the  numbers  of  old  wine- 
presses found  in  the  country,  attest  its  prevalence. 
Wine  (or  must)  is  often  named  in  Scripture,  along

with  corn  and  oil,  as  one  of  the  chief  products  of 
the  country  (Deut.  6. 11 ; 7. 13 ; 8.  8 ; Jer.  5.  17 ; 39. 
10 ; Hos.  2.  8).  The  districts  of  Hehron  and  the 
Lebanon  were  and  are  now  famous  for  the  excel- 
lence of  their  vines  (Num.  13,  2'2-24;  Hos.  14.  7). 
In  ancient  times  it  appears  that  dark-red  or  blue 
ffrapes  were  the  chief  sorts  {cf.  “ blood  of  grapes,’ 
Gen.  49. 11,  etc.);  in  modern  Palestine  white  wine 
is  the  most  common.  Vineyarus  on  hills,  where 
the  plough  could  not  be  used,  were  tilled  with 
the  mattock,  provided  with  terrace-walls,  to 
prevent  the  earth  from  being  washed  away,  and 
protected  with  hedges  or  walls  (Num.  22.  24,  25; 
Isa.  5.  5 ; 17. 11)  from  cattle  and  wild  beasts.  The 
workers  or  watchers  lived  in  huts  or  watch- 
towers  (Isa.  5.  2 ; Job  27.  181.  The  grapes  were 
trodden  in  the  winepress  (Isa.  16. 10),  which  was 
often  hewn  out  of  the  rock,  and  beside  it,  lower 
down,  was  the  vat  into  which  the  must  flowed, 
and  from  which  it  was  drawn  into  pitchers  and 


skins  (Jer.  48.  11 ; Job  32.  19).  The  vintage,  in 
September  and  October,  was  a time  of  general 
reioicing  (Judg.  9.  27 ; Isa.  16.  10).  Grapes  were 
often  dried  and  pressed  into  cakes  (1  Sam.  25. 
18 ; 2 Sam.  6.  19 ; Hos.  3, 1). 

VOWS,  in  the  Old  Testament,  are  solemn 
promises  to  offer  sacrifices,  etc.,  to  God  in  return 
for  His  help,  or  to  abstain  from  some  legit.mate 
eniovmeiit  for  His  sake.  Such  vows  are  volun- 
tary “(Deut.  23.  22),  and  are  not  to  be  lightly  made 
(Prov.  20.  25);  once  made,  they  are  to  be  inviolate 
(Num.  30.  3;  Deut.  23.  21,  23;  Eccl.  5.  3,  4).  Our 
Lord  only  once  mentions  vows  (Mat.  15.  5-9; 
Mark  7.  11-13),  condemning  those  who  give  to 
God  what  should  go  to  support  their  parents. 
St.  Paul,  at  Jerusalem,  took  part  in  a Nazarite 
vow  (Acts  21.  24-26),  and  made  or  fulfilled  a 
similar  vow  at  CenchreiB  (Acts  18.  18).  [See 
Nazakites.]  . , ^

mon  version”),  the  great  work  of  Jerome,  who  in 
383  A.D,  was  commissioned  hy  Pope  Damasus  to 
revise  the  Latin  Bible.  The  result  of  his  labors 
is  the  Latin  Vulgate,  of  which  a vast  number  of 
MSS.  are  extant.  Probably  the  best  text  of  all  for 
determining  the  text  of  the  Vulgate  as  Jerome 
left  it  is  the  Codex  Amiatinus,  which  was  written 
shortly  before  the  year  71G  a.d.  either  at  Wear- 
mouth  or  at  Jarrow  in  Northumberland,  by  the 
command  of  Ceolfrid  the  Abbot,  as  a votive 
offering  for  the  Pope  of  Rome.  Ceolfrid  died  on 
the  journey  to  Rome,  and  the  fortunes  of  the 
book  after  his  death  are  unknown ; it  was  proba- 
bly presented  to  the  Pope  in  due  course,  and 
ultimately  found  its  way  into  the  monastery  of 
Monte  Amiata,  after  which  it  is  named.  It  is 
now  in  Florence. 

The  revision  of  the  Old  Testament  part  was 
made  by  Jerome  in  Bethlehem  between  the  years 
392-404  A.D.,  by  direct  reference  to  the  Hebrew, 
of  which  language  he  had  made  himself  master 
somewhat  late  in  life.  The  work  of  revision  is 
very  unequally  done;  some  books  underwent 
very  little  change,  others  were  much  more  care- 
fully treated.  In  particular,  the  Psalter,  which 
Jerome  translated  afresh  from  the  Hebrew,  had 
already  been  twice  revised  by  him  on  the  basis 
of  the  Septuagint;  these  revisions  are  known  as 
the  Roman  and  Gallican  Psalters.  The  new  He- 
brew translation  found  very  slow  reception,  and 
the  old  Psalter  from  the  Septuagint  was  not  dis- 
placed from  ecclesiastical  use  until  the  sixteenth 
century.  A curious  parallel  to  the  Roman  con- 
servatism over  the  Psalter  will  be  found  in  tJie 
Psalter  of  the  English  Prayer-book,  which  does 
not  follow  the  text  of  the  Authorized  Version, 
but  that  of  the  Great  Bible  {q.v.)  of  1539-1541 
A.D.,  though  frequent  eiforts  have  been  made  to 
change  it.  [See  Old  Testament,  Text  of  the, 
and  Versions  of  the  New  Testament.] 

W 

WEASEL  [wCa'sel]  (Heb.  vhdleO)  occurs  only  in 
Uie  list  of  unclean  beasts  in  Lev.  11.  29.  There 
is  no  reason  to  reject  the  accepted  translation. 
Weasels,  and  also  polecats,  are  common  in  Pales- 
tine, and  perhaps  others  of  the  genus,  while 
genets  and  ichneumons  (Herpe^stes  ichjieuition), 
which  also  occur,  would  probably  be  embraced 
under  the  same  teian. 

WEIGHTS  among  the  Hebrews,  as  among  most 
other  nations  of  Western  Asia,  were  regulated 
according  to  the  scale  of  Assyria  and  Babylonia. 
That  the  weight  talent  consisted  of  60  manehs, 
of  GO  shekels  each  (ef.  Ezek.  45.  12),  is  now  clear 
from  the  discovery  of  Assyrian  standard  weights 
in  the  shape  of  recumbent  lions  (of  bronze),  and 
ducks  (of  stone),  with  their  values  inscribed  both 
in  Aramaic  and  Assyrian,  the  Assyrian  giving 
also  the  name  of  the  reigning  king.  With  the 
help  of  these  weights  (a  number  of  which  are  in 
the  British  Museum),  and  other  extant  Asiatic 
weights  and  coins,  it  is  now  proved  that  the 
Babylonian- Assyrian  talent  of  weiqht  was=  133.G 
lbs.  avoir.,  and  that  there  was  also  a light  talent 
= 6G.8  Ihs.  avoir.  The  Hebrew  talent  of  weiqht 
was,  however,  about  130  lbs.,  the  m.aneh  2 Ihs. 
2g  oz.,  the  shekel  § oz.  avoir. ; and  the  Hebrew 
shekel  was  divisible  into  20  qerahs,  each  about 
3^  oz.,  of  which  10  made  a ^ shekel  or  hekah, 
about  J oz.  avoir.  This  weight  was  in  ancient 
Israel  called  “king’s  weight”  (2  Sam.  14,  2G), 
from  the  “ maneh  of  the  king”  which  was  its 
basis;  and  the  above  shekel  (g  oz.  avoir.)  was 
called  “holy”  (Ex.  .30.  13;  38.  2.5,  etc.),  perhaps 
from  its  standard  being  preserved  in  the  Tem- 
ple, as  distinguished  from  the  silver  shekel, 
which  was  about  4 oz.  avoir.  [See  also  Money.] 

Pound  in  the  Old  Testament  = wo (1  Kings 
10.17;  Ezra2.  G9;  Neh.  7.  71,  72) ; in  the  New  Tes- 
tament is  the  Roman  pound  of  12  oz.  = 13  oz. 
avoir.  (.John  12.  3 ; 19.  39).

WELLS  [wells].  In  a land  of  few  rivers,  where 
rain  fell  only  at  certain  seasons,  wells  were  of 
the  utmost  importance  {cf.  Gen.  21.  2.5).  They 
were  artificial  ponds  or  pits  sunk  in  the  ground, 
in  Which  the  rain-water  collected  and  was  pre- 
sei’ved.  Springs  of  “ living  water  ” were  called 
by  a different  name,  'Ain. 

WHALE  [whale],  A.]'.;  “sea  monster,”  It.P. 
(Heb.  tannin).  In  three  passages  tannin  is  thus 
translated;  in  others,  “dragon”  or  “leviathan.” 
In  the  account  of  creation,  it  refers  evidently  to 
all  the  great  creatures  which  inhabit  the  seas, 
including  whales  especially.  The  word  does  not 
occur  in  the  account  of  Jonah,  but  simply  “ a 
great  fish,”  and  we  have  no  clue  to  its  species. 
Many  species  of  whales,  or  cetacea,  are  found  in 
the  Mediterranean  anti  Red  Sea,  and  we  know 
from  ancient  writers  that  formerly  many  of  the 
larger  whales  existed  there,  which  have  been  ex  - 
terminated,  or  nearly  so,  even  in  our  northern 
seas,  such  as  the  extinct  Biscayan  whale. 

WHEAT  [wheat]  was  the  chief  food  grain  of 
Mesopotamia  in  Jacob’s  time  (Gen.  30. 14).  It  was 
and  is  still  much  cultivated  in  Egypt  and  Syria. 

WILDERNESS  [wll'der-ness]  in  Scripture  gen- 
erally denotes  open,  uncultivated  ground,  suit- 
able for  pasture  (Ps.  G5.  12 ; Isa.  42. 11 ; Jer.  23.  10 ; 
Joel  1. 19 ; 2.  22).  The  wilderness  of  Judma  (Mat. 
3.  I),  the  Jeshimon  of  1 Sam.  23.  19,  lies  between 
the  Dead  Sea  and  the  district  of  Hebron.  The 
“ wilderness  of  the  wanderings”  is  the  northern 
part  of  the  Sinaitic  Peninsula,  the  western  region 
of  Avhich  is  named  the  “wilderness  of  Shur,” 
and  the  eastern  the  “ wilderness  of  Paran.” 

WILLOW  [wil 'low]  (Ezek.  17.  5).  Of  this  there 
are  eight  species  in  Palestine.  “Willow”  in 
Lev.  23.  40,  .lob  40.  22,  Isa.  15.  7,  44.  4 is  probably 
oleander;  in  I’s.  137.  2 ])robably  poplar. 

WINE  [wine]  was  abundant  in  Palestine  (Num. 
13.24;  Deut.G.ll;  7. 13;  8.  8;  Isa.  5.7;  Hos.2.8,12, 
15),  and  was  drunk,  partly  as  sweet  must  (Judg.  9. 
13;  Hos.  4. 11),  partly  after  fermenting  and  set- 
tling on  the  lees  (ef.  Zeph.  1. 12).  It  Avas  an  old  cus- 
tom to  add  spices  (Song  of  Sol.  8. 2 ; Isa. 5. 22 ; Prov. 
9.  2,  5).  Wine  before  being  drunk  Avas  commonly 
filtered,  to  remove  dregs  and  insects  (Isa.  25.  6; 
Jer.  48.  11 ; Mat.  23.  24).  The  vice  of  drunken- 
ness is  frequently  referred  to  {c.q.  1 Sam.  1.  13; 
25.  36 ; 2 Sam.  11. 13 ; Isa.  5.  22 ; Hos.  7. 5 ; Jer.  23.  9 ; 
1 Thess.  5. 7),  and  there  are  many  emphatic  warn- 
ings against  it  in  Scripture  (Luke  21.  34;  Rom. 
13.  13 ; Eph.  5.  18 ; 1 Tim.  3.  8 ; Titus  1.  7).  The 
Rechabites  (Jer.  35)  and  Nazarites  (Judg.  13.  4,  5 ; 
Luke  1.  15;  7.  33)  abstained  from  wine.  The 
priests  were  forbidden  to  use  it  when  engaged 
in  their  sacred  duties  (Lev.  10.  9-11).  A drink- 
offering  of  wine  was  presented  Avith  the  daily 
sacrifice  (Ex.  29.  40,  41),  with  the  offering  of  the 
first  fruits  (Lev.  23. 13),  and  with  various  other 
sacrifices  (Num.  15.  5-10). 

WINNOWING  [win'now-ing].  After  the  corn 
was  threshed,  it  was  winnowed  (Ruth  3.  2)  by 
being  tossed  in  the  air  with  shovels  or  forks 
(Isa.  30.  28)  after  the  night-wind  had  begun  to 
blow  (Jer.  4.  11).  The  grain  then  fell  to  tlie 
ground,  and  the  chaff  was  blown  away  (Ps.  1.  4). 

WISDOM  rwls'dom].  [See  under  Proverbs.] 

WISDOM  OF  ’SOLOMON  [wls'dom  of  s61  'o-mon]. 
This  hook,  together  with  the  Wisdom  of  the 
Son  of  Sirach,  or  Ecclesiasticus  (q.v.),  belongs 
to  the  class  of  sapiential  hooks  which  is  repre- 
sented Avithin  the  limits  of  the  Canon  by  Job, 
Proverbs,  and  Ecclesiastes. 

The  Wisdom  of  Solomon  has  nothing  to  do 
with  Solomon,  and  is  not  older  than  the  first  (or 
perhaps  second)  century  b.c.  It  was  Avritten  iu

Greek  by  an  Alexandrian  Jew.  It  is  a noble 
work,  and  was  so  highly  esteemed  by  the  Chris- 
tian church  that  it  came  nearer  to  canonical  ac- 
ceptance than  any  other  part  of  the  Apocrypha 
{q.v.).  Some  portions  of  it  which  discuss  the 
praise  of  wisdom,  and  the  rewards  and  punish- 
ments which  are  attached  respectively  to  the 
iust  and  the  unjust,  have  always  been  much  ad- 
mired, and  some  of  its  sentences  have  become 
proverbial  — e.q-  ch.  7.  27,  “In  all  ages  wisdom 
entereth  into  holy  souls,  and  maketh  them 
friends  of  God  and  prophets”;  ch.  3.  1,  ““The

WOLF  [Heb.  zeeb  (canis  lupus)].  The  wolf  is 
everywhere  known  as  the  terror  of  the  sheep- 
fold.  The  wolf  of  Syria  is  the  same  as  that  of 
Europe,  and  formerly  of  Britain.  The  wolf  is 
often  spoken  of  in  Scripture  as  the  emblem  of 
ferocitv  and  bloodthirstiness. 

WORM  (Isa.  51. 8),  the  larva  of  the  clothes-moth. 
[See  Moth.]  Ps.  22.  6;  Isa.  41.  14  refer  to  an 
earthworm.  In  the  majority  of  passages  mag- 
gots or  larvae  of  flies  are  understood  (Ex.  16.  24 ; 
Job  19.  26;  21.  26).  . o • . 

WORMWOOD,  often  alluded  to  in  Scripture  by 
way  of  illustration.  Five  species  occur  in  Pal- 
6Still6 

WRITING  (HEBREW)  [writ'lng  (lie'brFw)]. 
From  notices  in  the  Old  Testament  we  learn 
that  the  Jews  wrote  their  books  with  ink  on 


thus,  to  take  an  English  example,  the  consonants 
BRD  may  be  read  bird,  bard,  broad,  bread,  etc., 
and  the  appropriate  pronunciation  must  in  each 
case  be  determined  by  the  context.  The  danger 
in  copying  such  a text  was  that  the  mind  of 
the  scribe  would  be  continually  engaged  on  the 
sense  while  his  hand  and  eye  were  engaged  on 
the  form,  or  else  that  he  would  slavishly  copy 
the  letters  without  regarding  the  sense ; and  on 
either  hand  there  was  the  risk  of  mistake,  all  the 
more  that  several  letters  in  both  scripts  closely 
resembled  one  another,  and  that  there  was  no 
system  of  punctuation,  nor  clear  spacing  between 
words.  There  are  many  readings  in  the  LXX. 
which  appear  to  be  due  to  variations  in  the  He- 
brew original  from  which  it  was  translated.  [See 
Massoretes.] 

WYCLIFFE’S  VERSION,  of  which  the  New 
Testament  was  completed  about  1380,  and  the 
Old  Testament  in  1382,  was  the  first  rendering  of 
the  whole  Bible  into  English.  It  was  a plain  and 
literal  translation  from  the  Latin  Vulgate  {q.v.). 
Another  complete  translation  was  made  by  Wyc- 
liffe’s  friend,  John  Purvey,  between  1384  and  1388. 
Both  versions  were  widely  circulated  in  MS. 
[See  Ekglish  Bible.] 


Parchment  Rolls. 


rolls  of  smoothed  sheepskin  or  goatskin,  with 
a staff  attached  to  each  end.  The  rolls  were 
not  written  across,  but  from  end  to  end,  the 
writing  being  arranged  in  columns.  When 
a roll  was  read,  the  beginning  of  H was  at 
the  reader’s  right  hand,  the  end  at  his  lett. 
When  a column  had  been  read,  it  was  rolled 
round  the  right-hand  staff,  and  a new  column 
was  unrolled  from  the  left-hand  one.  According 
to  Jewish  tradition,  the  square  character  now  in 
use  was  introduced  by  Ezra.  Subsequent  to  the 
Restoration,  the  scribes  transcribed  from  the 
old  character  to  the  new  such  books  as  were 
written  in  the  former.  This  was  a task  of  great 
delicacy,  on  account  of  the  condition  of  the  texts 
and  the  dangers  of  error.  In  Hebrew  writing 
originally  only  the  consonants  of  the  words  were 
written,  the  vowels  being  supplied  by  the  reader 


YOKE  [Yoke]  (Deut.  21.  3).  Animals  engaged 
in  ploughing  were  united  to  one  another  and  to 
the  shaft  of  the  plough  by  a yoke,  which  was  a 
framework  of  wood,  or  wood  and  leather,  passing 
round  the  breast  of  each.  The  yoke  was  always 
double.  And  thus  the  “ yoke  ” of  Christ  (Mat.  11. 
29)  is  one  which  unites  to  Him  and  divides  the 
burden. 


ZEALOTS  [zeal’ots],  the  extreme  wing  of  the  na- 
tional party,  in  which  the  Pharisees  represented 
the  policy  of  passive  resistance.  From  Herod  the 
Great’s  time  to  the  fall  of  Jerusalem  in  70  a.d. 
they  were  in  a constant  state  of  ferment  (Acts 
5.  36,  37).  Their  headquarters  were  in  Galilee. 
“ Cananaean”  is  the  Hebrew  equivalent  of  Zealot 
(Mark  3.  18;  Luke  6.  15).  [See  Galilacaxs.] 
ZECHARIAH  [zeeh'a-rl'ah]  (“Jehovah  hath 
remembered”),  a name  borne  by  Old  Testament 
kings,  priests,  and  prophets,  the  most  notable 
being  the  son  of  Berechiah  (Neh.  12.  4, 16),  a co- 
adjutor of  Haggai  in  promoting  the  rebuilding  of 
the  Temple  (Ezra  5. 1 ; 6. 14),  who  prophesied  in 
520  and  518  B.c.  (Zech.  1.  1,  7 ; 7. 1).  His  prophecy 
(ch.  1-8)  consists  chiefly  of  visions  presenting 
motives  for  confidence  and  effort.  Ch.  9-14  have 
a different  historical  setting,  refer  to  conquests 
of  Tiglath-pileser  III.  (745-727  b.c.)  in  9. 1-8  (c/.  10. 
10  ff  ),  and  may  have  been  written  by  the  Zecha- 
riah  of  Isa.  8.  2.  [See  Minor  Prophets.] 

ZEPHANIAH  [zeph'a-m'ah]  (“Jehovah  hides'  ) 
prophesied  in  the  time  of  Josiah  (1. 1),  and  before 
the  fall  of  Nineveh  (606  b.c.  ; cf.  2.  13),  for  the 
warning  of  Judah  and  Jerusalem.  The  great  day 
of  the  Lord’s  judgment  is  near  (ch.  1),  the  neigh- 
boring: nations  are  about  to  fall  (ch.  2),  J erusalem 
is  urged  to  repent  (3. 1-7),  the  faithful  remnant 
will  be  gathered,  and  the  peoples  will  serve  Je- 
hovah with  one  consent  (3.  8-20).  The  hymn  of 
the  world’s  judgment.  Dies  tree,  dies  ilia  (“  That 
dav  of  wrath,  that  dreadful  day”),  was  taken  by 
Thomas  of  Celano  (13th  century)  from  Zephaniah 
(1.  14-18).  [See  Minor  Prophets.] 
ZERUBBABEL  [ze-rhb'ba-bel]  (“dispersed, 
or  “born  in  Babylon”),  a descendant  of  the 
kings  of  Judah,  was  permitted  by  Cyrus  to  lead 
back  the  Jews  from  exile  in  538  b.c.  He  saw  the 
completion  of  the  new  Temple  {q.v.)  in  515  b.c. 
ZION  [zi' on].  [See  J erusalem.] 


In  such  a mode  of  writing,  the  same  combination  Ziui.  [zi  onj 

of  consonants  may  be  pronounced  differently  — | ZOAN  [zo  an].  [See  rgvpi.j
